I would say think of some sorta story and work with that, even if its seems generic, one think i know from doing this is other games is the more lore you put into it, the more interesting a normally generic task would then seem

#

like for me CSAT are setting themselves up on malden, as a CRTG squad working with NATO we're kicking them out before they settle down and finding out what they are after, as you start doing different tasks after taking the airport for your first mainland base, I'll have a few things that you pick up when doing other missions, like intel or captives, and let the story unravel from there

#

thinking something like a secret research base hidden away that you first have to learn of its existence, hence intel, then find location, from the captive mission, but only if you got the intel first, then go and blow it to smithereens

#

i do hope someone scrolls up so they see my query regarding making this mission

bright tulip Jul 21, 2019, 2:07 AM

#

_val = if (true) then [ { "false" }, { "true" } ]; Can I use this, using the task completion as the value, on the opfor base area to turn it off when the "task complete" is set to true?

plain gale Jul 21, 2019, 9:17 AM

#

if (true) ?!?!

bright tulip Jul 21, 2019, 9:18 AM

Arma 3 Module: Sector

bright tulip Jul 21, 2019, 9:25 AM

#

not entirely helpful, I already have it output a true signal to trigger the task completion, but i need false to disable the OPFOR base module, this is vs AI so I'm using the base modules to populate the areas

#

but i cant use a true and a false output on the same sector module as that would cause issues

#

... why is the biggest CTRG unit on the site supposedly for north Americans only? Pretty sure the CTRG is British, as a Brit, I find it highly offensive

prisma oyster Jul 21, 2019, 9:32 AM

¯_(ツ)_/¯

bright tulip Jul 21, 2019, 9:37 AM

#

well, lets go see if i can make this variable flipped, and make the props static, or whatever it was that was said before i joined

#

simple objects, that was it

little lantern Jul 21, 2019, 11:55 AM

#

@bright tulip interesting

little lantern Jul 21, 2019, 12:21 PM

#

player in (crew (vehicle this));

#

why does this return true even though my player isnt in the vehicle yet

#

the AI driver is the group leader

sinful zenith Jul 21, 2019, 12:23 PM

#

what is "this" ?

little lantern Jul 21, 2019, 12:24 PM

#

group leader

#

so as the group leader is already in the vehicle to begin with, the vehicle then becomes the car

#

but the player has not yet entered the car and its returning true

#

so the car just drives off without it

mighty aspen Jul 21, 2019, 1:15 PM

#

vehicle _unit will return _unit if not in a vehicle

sinful zenith Jul 21, 2019, 1:15 PM

#

yeah but "this" is not player

#

I thought that too

mighty aspen Jul 21, 2019, 1:16 PM

#

I assume he meant a unit by group leader

sinful zenith Jul 21, 2019, 1:17 PM

#

yes

#

but if "vehicle unit" would return the unit

#

how would the player get inside that unit

prisma oyster Jul 21, 2019, 1:18 PM

#

👀

little lantern Jul 21, 2019, 1:30 PM

#

I managed to achieve the same thing by using a trigger instead.

#

I used the same code.

prisma oyster Jul 21, 2019, 1:37 PM

#

so in could mean in group? 🤔

sinful zenith Jul 21, 2019, 1:41 PM

#

crew player doesn't return group members I hope?

#

OH

#

If used on a unit (man, module, etc.) it will return an array containing that unit.

so..
vehicle this returns this, because it's not in a vehicle.
crew then returns [this] because it's not a vehicle.
but for in to work, this must be == player?

bright tulip Jul 21, 2019, 3:07 PM

#

I ahve a question

#

trying to make a bluefor base module activate only after the first task is complete, with its condition (right at the bottom) set to false to start, so it doesnt spawn blu and op at the same time, then i am using the following code to turn it on, will this work?
VV_tsk1_comp = if (true) then [ { "true" }, { "false" } ];

prisma oyster Jul 21, 2019, 3:19 PM

#

@bright tulip is it the same question as above?

bright tulip Jul 21, 2019, 3:24 PM

#

i think its void now, as that was not actually the line that was complaining on startup

#

waht was complaining is almost the same line, except it was actually on the sector, was trying to use a similar line for if task true deletevehicle this, which would from what I read delete the capturable sector, making it under blu control for the rest of the mission...
I am now trying it with this: OnOwnerChange then ["deletevehicle this"];

#

just about to run it again and see if that moans on startup, and if not, then try to take the airport and actually see it change, the fun part after that learning post process so i can transition thru time, and making things appear (like heli's and troops) during this transition

bright tulip Jul 21, 2019, 4:05 PM

#

Is there something to provide a black screen transition? I want it to fade to black, skip time forwards, then return to normal view at the new base, (with things spawned in transition)

plain gale Jul 21, 2019, 4:09 PM

That could work.

bright tulip Jul 21, 2019, 4:34 PM

#

gotta fix my trigger issue first, right now im trying to get the time to skip only after competing the task, however the if/else doesnt work, true and false both cause the timeskip module to fire, took it out for the moment, if i cant get the fade effect working then its a mute point, i refuse to literally watch time fly forwards

#

fadeeffect looks perfect, but how do i make a timer for this? I would need this to trigger fade in, then a wait (trigger?), then another to fade out

#

is it just me or does it seem fade only works on spawn or mission end? from what im reading it seems like i might not be able to use this part way into a mission

plain gale Jul 21, 2019, 4:48 PM

#

theres another function which does that. Let me see if find it

#

There you go [5,false,true] call bis_fnc_setDate

#

Does fade effect and skip time all at once.

#

And it works in MP

bright tulip Jul 21, 2019, 4:52 PM

#

Thats awesome
im debating if i should add some dependencies to this mission aside from Apex, perhaps use MCC or an AI mod that will give me more versatility... I know mcc does a lot of precoded things, and theres gotta be an AI mod to help populate a town or 2 right? I'm hampered by the site module only populating military buildings

#

oh sorry, hah, where to I put that line? on a trigger right?

plain gale Jul 21, 2019, 4:53 PM

#

You could use the Civilian Precence Module if you wanna add some civs to towns.

#

Put it in a trigger and tick the checkbox to only evaluate the trigger on the server.

#

But then use [5,true,true] call bis_fnc_setDate for global execution. You are creating a multiplayer mission aren't you?

bright tulip Jul 21, 2019, 4:54 PM

#

yes

#

can i hook this trigger to fire upon the completion of the task

#

and is the 5 the number of hours skipped?... tell me where you find this and i can just bookworm it tonight XD

my screen size 1920x1080 but different players screen 1280x720 1160x513 etc. etc.

my problem player menu Under 1920 pixels appearance is distorted

i have worked with "safezone"

plain gale Jul 23, 2019, 10:45 PM

What do your x,y,w and h definitions look like?

@plain gale

#

https://hastebin.com/acecogelaz.cpp

#

this

plain gale Jul 24, 2019, 7:52 AM

#

The definitions look fine.

#

The issue is that safezoneW + safeZoneX scales with resolution and therefore changes changes the aspect ration of the UI to fit the aspect ratio of the monitor.

#

You can either change the UI Layout to work with different aspect ratios or use GUI GRID

Is there a way for multiple people to work on a mission other than sending the file back and forth?

@little lantern git repository

prisma oyster Jul 25, 2019, 7:01 AM

#

@little lantern also, you can all work on different item placements then merge the missions together with Eden

little lantern Jul 25, 2019, 7:01 AM

#

Okay thanks

sinful zenith Jul 25, 2019, 7:05 AM

#

git repo doesn't really work

#

you'll constantly have merge conflicts and it's basically unusable. I tried.
If you could however make some intermediary format that can be merged well 🤔

#

let's just make a mission.sqm to yaml converter :U.. actually.. that sounds quite easy 🤔

prisma oyster Jul 25, 2019, 7:29 AM

#

I mean, git repository script-wise

#

for the sqm, Eden merge and that's about it

dim kindle Jul 25, 2019, 11:12 AM

Because we mostly use MCC we use template missions, so every terrain gets a mission with parameters and certain slots for west/east/resistance. We then build it using currentlly a bat file and armake. There is a lot of repetition between the missions and ideally I want to improve the speed at which another template can be added. So what I have is a build tool that can do token replacement and a bit of maths so we can set a "centre" for the troops and I am slowly working on the existing niggles. I mention because I think potentially a lot of other communities could do with a similar approach. It has converted missions into a entirely source control thing for us and now killing duplicate lines is where we are trying to head. I don't have a full solution yet but it is another way to think about the problem.

sinful zenith Jul 25, 2019, 11:17 AM

#

might aswell do #include in mission.sqm, and let it binarize at buildtime?
Instead of some custom token replacement tool?

dim kindle Jul 25, 2019, 11:21 AM

#

The problem is they are all different, each terrain the units should be placed at a different location. So there is an amount of config replacement that has to happen to generate the right numbers. Since each unit is effectively an offset from that location we do a bunch of replacements. I do like the idea however of reducing it down to an include because then it removes the repeating of the units we have currently.

I was playing around with ACE 3 today, and I was trying to add the fries system to a helicopter from a mod that doesn't have the fries system by default. I dug around in the ACE 3 documentation, and found this: https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/862866465567046837/A7636127ACB96BC3C78BCF91E1D81323BD501A55/
but I don't see most of that, including 'equip fries'. Can I still equip FRIES on a chopper through eden editor?

loud wind Jul 30, 2019, 10:43 AM

#

As far as I know.

#

When you go into a unit's properties in EDEN with ACE, you should be able to tick the 'Equip with FRIES' box under one of the ACE settings.

hmm... a weird thing I ran into:

I have a script that I'm running on a unit when a waypoint is complete (using onActivation field). The script is ran with [this] execVM "myawesomescript.sqf" command.
It works with no issues in SP
When trying to run in MP mode of the editor, the script does not run at all

I tried to make a test case, and it looks as if this of waypoints onActivation is undefined on multiplayer. Is that a thing?

brazen grail Aug 10, 2019, 6:46 PM

#

Where you put your script file?

vapid pewter Aug 10, 2019, 6:48 PM

I was messing around in the eden editor and for some reason when I drop in a soldier or a tank or something they always look the same. For example if I spawn in a middle eastern militia bomber, if I spawn multiple they all look the same. It also happens to just the vanilla civilians too.

nimble trail Aug 10, 2019, 7:13 PM

#

@brazen grail main mission folder. the script executes, it just exits because of first parameter being null

How do I make a respawn point just like the Arma 3 default missions?

it doesn't just take your character and respawn it

@little lantern in the mission attributes, respawn on custom location, and make a respawn_west marker - you're good!

and it seems that revealing units only works once for the map view, i.e. after the first reveal, any consequent reveals don't actually update the info on the map, like units positions remain the same despite them moving

#

idk if AI units get the same problem (not receiving updates after the 1st reveal) or just player, or it's only the map view's issue

nvm, fixed it

lol, I am new to Arma editing so there may be something I am missing, but I am trying to make a door be open at the start of the game and I followed this recommendation:

#

" n the Editor, go to Modules (F5).

Click Object Modifiers.

Choose Open/Close Doors.

Place it near the door you wish to open.

Double click the placed Module.

Set the Variable name, for example: myOpenDoor

Inside the Init box write: myOpenDoor = true;

Last thing to do is set the Radius, if it's for one door only and the module is placed near the door, set it to around 5.
"

#

but it does not work for me, am I missing something?

Place the module on a house, then edit the module to show the list of doors and how to edit their state

You mean, you place items in Eden and they can't be manipulated in Zeus?

#

Most people add Achilles to their mod lineup because of this. I don't even think Achilles is serverside.

What do you usually prefer creating your missions and loadouts with: CUP or RHS?

bronze peak Aug 18, 2019, 7:40 PM

#

RHS all the way. Much higher quality than CUP, IMHO.

lean adder Aug 19, 2019, 7:12 AM

#

the other way around @bronze peak make allI items something can manipulate through zeus

#

I had a custom warlords map with a zeus for each side for shits and giggles, and they could manipulate everything there. preplaced, called in, players, etc

#

then i tried to update it and now even loading then saving removes that ability

#

I just want to make it so zeus can use everything without having to use extra commands i know there was an optioon for that

#

I think it was a checkbox?

#

Something like make all editable objects?

#

I tried the achilles thing but thats not what i'm looking for it only adds stuff thats there just then

wondered if it could work as a turn lights on/off scripts

#

@prisma oyster

bronze peak Aug 19, 2019, 8:38 PM

#

It's an item paired with an addAction command and a script in the campaign itself.

#

Much like the EMSPEC, it has no utility value outside the campaign unless you do a lot of scripting.

eager hull Aug 19, 2019, 8:43 PM

prisma oyster Aug 28, 2019, 12:26 PM

@dim kindle by script

dim kindle Aug 28, 2019, 12:27 PM

and what script is that? :v

prisma oyster Aug 28, 2019, 12:28 PM

a script that would place unit in a vehicle, on said unit respawn :3

cloud sparrow Aug 28, 2019, 12:28 PM

#

If you are using BI respawn you can link respawn position module to vehicle.

#

Or add respawn position via respective function. Just use vehicle as target.

prisma oyster Aug 28, 2019, 12:29 PM

@cloud sparrow ooooooh, didn't know that one

cloud sparrow Aug 28, 2019, 12:29 PM

You can also add groups as respawn target.

i tried "sync to" and "set trigger owner"

and both of those didnt work

you just sync respawn position module to vehicles and it should work if you're using respawn menu template.

Just had to save mission into my mpmissions folder and it suddenly started to work

rigid bane Sep 10, 2019, 5:34 PM

yesterday I asked what is an acceptable loss of performance for a mission compared to an empty scenario. I said "5 fps" but of course it's relative to the current frame rate. 5 fps at 30 is different than 5 fps at 60. So, as a percent of average FPS, what is the acceptable/expected loss of performance in a mission versus an empty scenario?

For the record I got 5 down to 2-3.

last aurora Sep 10, 2019, 6:23 PM

Acceptable is what your players tell you. Some are fine if they drop from 40ish to low 30s, others Start ranting if they drop half a frame

Why would opfor get into a vehicle? Are you telling them to or using VCOM that would make them occupy a vehicle?

You could lock the vehicle? Alternatively you could unassign the vehicle to everyone of a certain side, see unassignVehicle on wiki

I have a bit of an odd issue I can't figure out. I can't get respawning to work on a new mission and I don't understand why. I don't think I'm doing anything differently to what I've done previously. Here's exactly what I've done: I open a new project, make a respawn position module, set it to BLUFOR, place a playable BLUFOR character, go to multiplayer attributes and set respawn to respawn on custom position, enable select respawn loadout and position, enable revive for all players. As far as I can tell this is exactly how my other missions are set up. But when I launch the mission in multiplayer I spawn in the corner of the map with no weapon.

Has anyone ever run into issues with AI and the get in waypoint?

#

It seems during combat they will keep going into their assigned vehicles and then shortly after get out

#

The group stays in aware behaviour throughout it all, but it seems to be tied to enemies further away, I haven't seen them doing it if there are no enemies

Yeah, no damage at all

vestal perch Sep 26, 2019, 11:01 AM

did you give them a hold waypoint after get in?

#

or did they have any other waypoints

#

because no waypoints == AI is free to do whatever he wants

and Id wager default squad behavior is to disembark and engage enemy

@tired quest you can prevent your script from running with isMultiplayer check, or disable AIs with disableAI = 1 in Description.ext. You cannot, afaik, disable respawn only for some units (unless you delete them on respawn, but then it's not exactly and technically disabling - they should stop spawning after that though)

I guess you want a slot on the server which is only accessible by a mod or admin (based on param) and can't be used by others?

there are several ways to do this:

kick people from the server when they join if total slots - "admin" slots are filled.
kick people back to lobby when they pick a specific slot in the lobby (which are designated at "admin")
ignore everything, and simply assign Zeus to all members who are allowed to (with SteamID's in Zeus module)

Video recording can be demanding for the hardware. For smoother recoding external hardware recorders can be used though they are perhaps a bit expensive for just few Arma videos

so I want to make custom respawn loadouts, based off of loadouts made with the ace arsenal. I got as far as getting to spawn with the loadout but it's kinda messed up because it seems to fill from uniform --> vest --> backpack, and not having magazines and grenades in the vest, medic stuff in the backpack and so on.

#

is it possible to make respawn loadouts where you set what goes in each "container"?

fading goblet Oct 23, 2019, 3:02 PM

#

yes and no

#

The custom loadouts are indeed filled from uniform to backpack, and unless you use custom backpacks (which means with custom contents), you won't be able to do it the "normal" way.

#

For a faction I made (with custom loadouts) I did the following:

I created custom units with their uniform/vest items linked
I created custom backpacks with content inside
I added all custom units to the Respawn system
I created a Respawn Event Handler with the following script:

params ["_unit"];

_vestItems = vestItems _unit;
_uniformItems = uniformItems _unit;

{
    _unit removeItemFromVest _x;
} forEach _vestItems;

{
    _unit removeItemFromUniform _x;
} forEach _uniformItems;

{
    switch (_x) do {
        case "ACE_IR_Strobe_Item";
        case "ACE_CableTie";
        case "ACE_Flashlight_XL50";
        case "ACE_EarPlugs";
        case "ACE_MapTools";
        case "ACE_EntrenchingTool": {
            _unit addItemToUniform _x;
        };
        default {
            _unit addItemToVest _x;
        }
    };
} forEach (_vestItems + _uniformItems);

true

#

alternatively you could catch the selected role and loadout and run a script for each combination with the required gear (ACE loadout export)

worthy tendon Oct 23, 2019, 3:13 PM

#

I chose the lazy way out, I found out that ace arsenal has a default loadout tab

#

I just set the respawn loadout for the players to have a basic set, and after they spawn they can get a default loadout if they want

#

they usually get their own stuff anyway, just want to provide some baseline stuff

#

right to the next question though, I want to change the pylons on a drone via the init box, this is what I came up with:

vehicle this setPylonLoadOut ["pylon1","PylonMissile_1Rnd_BombCluster_01_F"];
vehicle this setPylonLoadOut ["pylon2", "PylonRack_3Rnd_LG_scalpel"];

#

doesn't do anything and I have no clue what I'm doing anyways

fading goblet Oct 23, 2019, 3:18 PM

#

problem is vehicle this, which doesn't do anything...

worthy tendon Oct 23, 2019, 3:18 PM

#

thats what I thought aswell

fading goblet Oct 23, 2019, 3:19 PM

#

either use this setPylonLoadOut ["pylon1","PylonMissile_1Rnd_BombCluster_01_F"]; in the vehicle init, or use vehicle_variable setPylonLoadOut ["pylon1","PylonMissile_1Rnd_BombCluster_01_F"]; when in a script (where vehicle_variable is the name of the vehicle)

is there a function to change side of a unit?

sinful zenith Oct 25, 2019, 11:39 AM

#

join

#

if you join the unit into a group of the other side it should switch sides

exotic eagle Oct 25, 2019, 11:40 AM

#

can they join a new group on the enemy side?

sinful zenith Oct 25, 2019, 11:40 AM

#

yes

exotic eagle Oct 25, 2019, 11:40 AM

#

uh, gonna look for the docs

prisma oyster Oct 25, 2019, 11:41 AM

#

createGroup and join(Silent) yes

exotic eagle Oct 25, 2019, 11:45 AM

#

so, it should be myGroup = createGroup "EAST" [this, otherUnit] join(Silent) myGroup

#

right?

sinful zenith Oct 25, 2019, 11:45 AM

#

not sure what otherUnit is, but basically yeah

the brackets are for join or joinSilent

exotic eagle Oct 25, 2019, 11:47 AM

#

basically I'm doing an hostage situation, where the hostages (2 civilians) are traveling with the OPFOR to an enemy base

#

if I leave them on the civilian side I can't find a way to make them not dismount on mission start (removed ai move, FSM and other things, they still dismount on mission start)

#

so I'm making them satrt the mission as OPFOR and make them hostage when they reach the enemy base/all the members of the escort are dead

#

any better way to do this?

sinful zenith Oct 25, 2019, 11:50 AM

#

setCaptive marks someone as hostage, but I think it has some issues sometimes, so its probably good to also move them into a civilian group.
Assuming you let them start out as opfor

exotic eagle Oct 25, 2019, 11:52 AM

#

yes ofc

#

I'm just setting a trigger checking for all the escort members dead to make them return captive

exotic eagle Oct 25, 2019, 2:22 PM

#

as of now I'm encountering another problem (or maybe 2 problems). First the jeep with 2 civilians (grouped with opfor) and one opfor as driver doesn't move with the group to the waypoint

#

and when the jeep arrives to the trigger area the trigger doesn't fire

dim kindle Nov 21, 2019, 8:45 AM

#

Engagement ranges are all set in the firing modes so you need config edits for that as it is all depend on the weapons, it also sets the rate of fire as well. As to target much of that is controllable a bit with knowsAbout information and then they select on that basis fairly easily. There is also the suppressive fire at commands which will fire near a unit they don't see.

So newb question here...any way to make Ai drop a bomb on something? I figure'd it'd be as easy as putting down a basic enemy and giving the ai plane a single bomb, giving it a seek an destroy waypoint, but it just keeps flying around and never dropping the bomb. Is there a better way for me to set it up? Long story short trying to drop a nuke for cinematic effect and plot reasons on a mission

prisma oyster Nov 28, 2019, 4:11 PM

you could just spawn the bomb itself?

tired wave Nov 28, 2019, 4:17 PM

#

I'm pretty much a noob at mission making, scripting has been very limited for me. Even if I could, I'd need to know the bomb's like...see I don't even know what to call it, its class name?

#

Sorry for the late reply @prisma oyster I was attempting something else to make it happen--didn't work

prisma oyster Nov 28, 2019, 4:19 PM

yes, you should get its class name, then create the ammo

tired wave Nov 28, 2019, 4:20 PM

I don't even know how to get its class name

#

I know how to get like...vehicle/people/objects that can be placed in the editors names, but not the name for a specific mod's weaponry

sour anvil Nov 28, 2019, 4:23 PM

how do i transfer one variable from one init to the other?

tired wave Nov 28, 2019, 4:25 PM

#

I found "bomb = "Bo_GBU12_LGB" createVehicle [(getpos t1 select 0),( getpos t1 select 1), 1]" floating around on youtube as a code to make the bomb itself happen, obviously the right name in place of the GBU-12, but I wonder if it'd work even then cause the mod has an arming sequence, it has to fly for a minimum time or it won't explode--so I don't know how that'd work in the script.

sour anvil Nov 28, 2019, 4:57 PM

#

a = "true";  
while {a == "true"} do {  
 if (buttonPressed == "true") then

is this correct? trying to hide barrier when buttonPressed is true (defined in another object's init). buttonPressed switches to true correctly from the other variable, but the object doesn't hide

sinful zenith Nov 28, 2019, 5:02 PM

#

what?

why make the bool into a string now?

true and "true" are two very different things

craggy pier Nov 30, 2019, 11:43 AM

#

@severe aspen in general you just place a plane that's flying. Give it a name and define a waypoint somewhere on the map and set the "On Activation" Property to

_YourPlaneName landAt 0;

The 0 means the first airstrip defined in the config.cpp of the map. It's counting up if there are different airstrips defined.
If your plane then does not land, without taking damage or ending in fly infinity loops above it. I fear that there is something wrong with the Airstrip itself. Most likely the heights of Map and Airstrip does not match up or the AI landing-system does not match the map settings.

btw all global variables should have a tag, like BEN_safe, BEN_checkVariable, BEN_breakScript.
your breakScript/checkVariable variable should be local variables, not global
and there are boolean types true and false, writing "true" in a string is a bit converluted

Depends if the vehicles have such actions for AI to use I guess. You may need to activate such vehicle features for the AI with the same scripts useraction use to start them when player operates them.

You can create a map, place items, place units (don't forget to mark them as "playable"), then save as → multiplayer

that or you can export it to the Steam Workshop @dim kindle

@last aurora Just some AI mods. I am running arma3 life server. I want to fuse some zombie AIs, so that after being placed in a certain area, these AIs will automatically attack people.

For example, if Ryan's infected then you need to make sure that the side of the infected is hostile to players...

So you choose OPFOR or GUER depending on the side relations of the other mod...

But basically no matter what the side of the infected must be a side that is hostile to whatever side(s) that the players are allocated... Also note, setting them to enemy side won't work either... they will just kill each other 😉

Always wished that enemy was a side that was hostile to everyone except those that were enemy too

vocal moth Dec 9, 2019, 8:48 PM

Yes, I previously set these AIs to the red side, but in the life server, the players are the blue side and the green side. These AI will not attack other players, no matter what

here's the current script fire1 commandArtilleryFire [markerPos "opfor_firemission", getArtilleryAmmo [fire1] select 0,5];

Hey guys, is there a way to change the default map selection for the editor in arma's main menu? Right now the default map is Livonia which i don't own. I do get that BI changed it to Livonia for all arma 3 players as a constant nagging reminder to purchase the Contact dlc. But it is annoying to always have to select something i own to check something in the editor quickly.

You can make a test mission and launch the game directly to it with a shortcut with right launch parameters.

prisma valve Dec 15, 2019, 3:15 PM

#

doesnt that mean there would always be the map from this test mission preloaded? I have configured the launcher to not preload a map on game launch.

vestal perch Dec 15, 2019, 3:45 PM

#

I don't know but what does it matter? You are trying to launch the editor fastest way possible to test things, right?

#

Imo fastest way is to load directly onto a test scenario and skip all the menu clicking.

You don't use the shortcut for normal gaming.

Thousands of scenario objects is a lot so you may need to reconsider what you are doing.

vestal perch Dec 15, 2019, 5:10 PM

You could perhaps save them in sectors as arrays and spawn/despawn when needed. But it may not be optimal either.

Especially if you have very dense placement.

The link I sent has the script. You'd put it in the init of the vehicle. While it does technically have AI, it's not noticeable as seen in KK's example video cause you're directly controlling every part of the tank at the same time.
