you need to make it player
vestal perch
you can upload screenshots somewhere and link them here
if you are in editor and hit preview it starts the game playing the unit that is set as the player
player and playable are different boxes

prisma oyster
maybe a "respawn on start" setting in Eden
hidden nymph
where?
prisma oyster
in one of the top menus, maybe Mission Settings, I don't remember :\
vestal perch
I think if you want to spawn normally you need to disable the zeus stuff
or do you want to move the zeus location
vestal perch
you are not spawning in water, you are spawning as zeus which is a flying camera.
vestal perch
the character is in water?
then why your screenshots are from zeus mode?
oh the tiny blob in the sea is the character?
then idk. its probably the zeus that is messing it up somehow
hidden nymph
so its not possible to have the zeus thing and a normal spawn?
this pops up when i load arma
can this be effecting it?
@vestal perch
hidden nymph
ok
vestal perch
if you ever get popups like that they should not be ignored
broken mods lead to problems
vestal perch
turn them off one by one and see where the problem goes away
hidden nymph
ok
broken inlet
I'd recommend trying without any mods first to see if it works then
broken inlet
Otherwise you might spend ages booting the game up again and again just to find out that its broken even without any mods
torpid turret
Remove 1/3 of your mods at a time to quickly narrow down what group the offending mod is in. Alternatively, remove them all and start 1 by 1

hi guys, is there any way to have a new flag marker without an addon ingame ? if not i could pack it in my island, but no clue how....

@hidden nymph is your spawn point on the water? If so then you can’t spawn there
hidden nymph
it isnt lol im not that dumb

anyone use the ACE mod know how to make it that everyone can see proper ACE information and not just medics?
like so a rifleman can get a pulse and see like "120/80" instead of "normal"
fading goblet
simply make all units a medic

when using the sector module and sector control modules, is there a way I can hide the objective on the map from my players until I want them to?

how do i enable debug console on multiplayer missions when admin logged?
sullen mauve
Is there a way to fix ai where if you shoot near a large group of civs they dont just go into a big circle
vestal perch
what would you want them to do?
sullen mauve
Just randomly walk around an area
vestal perch
even after the shooting?
sullen mauve
Trying to make a mission where you have one shooter and you blend in with random civs
yes
its like a remake of a mission me and my friends played
vestal perch
Id guess you have to play with the disableAI script and possibly any other that affect their behaviour
not saying Im 100% sure it can be done as you want but maybe it can.
Might not be simple though
sullen mauve
Yeah would be hard I think
loud hull
is this possible to do in the editor? make players spawn in a seat on a c-130, make it an arsenal and when they're ready they can select the halo jump command
vestal perch
sounds possible
loud hull
can you access ace arsenal inside a vehicle?
if said vehicle is an ace arsenal of course
vestal perch
Id say yes
loud hull
okay cool. gonna test it now. thanks
vestal perch
or the arsenal is something attached onto the plane thats positioned in front of the player
loud hull
like a strobe or something?
vestal perch
strobe would maybe look silly
but a box or backpack or something like that is what I had in mind
half pendant
Didn’t there used to be an option to walk around in the C-130 and the bigger planes
vestal perch
there has been static walkable versions of planes.

@hidden nymph if you don't state your issue, we cannot help indeed 🙂

oh sry
so i made an arsenal in eden. Everything enabled
but when i host a server with that only a few things show up
but i just checked and it has everything infinet
i can send the export of the sqf and a screenshot if needed

where do you run your sqf?

random kayak
Hey wot I need to have jet rearming in the mission at main base
err nm the hemitt ammo does it i guess
sullen mauve
How do I stop civs from walking through walls
vestal perch
what kind of walls?
are they real part of a building or placed by you
server lag can cause characters to look like they go through walls as their position tries to compensate
characters walking inside building path ignore objects in front of them
haughty verge
when you are doing your op missions, what do you guys like to do with the unused bases on the map?
do you make them all enemy?
do you leave them unmanned (then people probably ask why that base has no one in it)?
do you just hide the base?
fallow whale
Depends where abouts it is, normally I leave them unmanned for reasons of fps. But I put a marker on the map stating you shouldn’t go near it or you’ll be killed or something. If you really want to, you can put a few static mgs or launchers just to steer players away, I wouldn’t recommend flashing it out if no one is supposed to go near it, just because of FPS
If the base is quite near an objective then yeah, put some enemies there, but not too many
haughty verge
yeah then if they continue to move where you dont want them you can just zeus in some more things to kill them off i guess
fallow whale
Yeah, or some light artillery near them (not near enough to kill them) but enough to scare them off
haughty verge
if I sync the respawn module to some units, will it only let those units use that respawn?
vestal perch
@sullen mauve placed objects, especially if there is a lot of them can get ignored more easier than terrain objects.
so you will need to make good path waypoints for the AI or accept that the pathfinding can get simple
sullen mauve
Yes okay thank you 🙂
haughty verge
anyone else having trouble using the Emitter 3ditor? It looks like the mod is broken.
haughty verge
i got the version that is on the workshop

Hey all! I have been trying to see how to create reinforcements that are called via radio. I don’t really know where to start and I could do with some help. Thanks!
plain gale
Create a group -> set two waypoints
the first one in front of the group, the 2nd one where you want them to go
create a trigger and sync it with the first waypoint
Set the trigger to be activated by a radio
dim kindle
I need help. I've weatched tutorials but I don't have a modules option to set tasks. I'll be in then general chat
dim kindle
I've tried watching vids. Nothing works. I'm willing to stream and chat for troubleshooting

What module are you using @dim kindle
dim kindle
Create Tasks and Respawns. No tasks work, respawn spawns me in ocean, doesn't let me select roles. Pretty sure this is just a busted game
plain gale
@dim kindle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnCqml1OPQE
vestal perch
@dim kindle are you running mods? If yes, turn them off and test if things work. It is possible for mods to break stuff.
plain gale
Can you post your mission so someone can take a look at it?
plain gale
I don't wanna watch a stream.
dim kindle
It's me actually in the editor in real time lol
dim kindle
It seems like in order to get any trigger to work you need to go into the game files in example. I have multiple classes to respawn in as, but in order to make them all available on death I need to go into the game files. Same with downloading tasks and killing targets. I've decided not to fool with it. Strange they have an editor but in order to use it you have to learn txt codes. Bad development move
prisma oyster
you need to go into the game files
huh?
dim kindle
Yarp. Got to go into your documents and edit your mission scripts
You can't just lay down a download set task marker, link it to a laptop, and lay a trigger. You got to do a bunch of other bulogna on the back end
prisma oyster
well, yeah - they provide a lot of stuff script-free, but at some point for advanced stuff, you need scripting
dim kindle
Welp I don't know this game's language so the editor is dead to me. Unsure why they didn't allow placing objectives through connections. Silly.
prisma oyster
you can learn or quit, sure
plain gale
Well I get what he means. Some of this common stuff should be plug & play. But yeah, you need to learn it.
prisma oyster
for the rest, there is Euroc- https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Introduction_to_Arma_Scripting
dim kindle
All I want to do is have objectives. Kill this guy, download that, kill all enemies in area, escape, destroy item. that's it, that's all I want.
Place a trigger when dude dies, enemies spawn
You can't even seem to just simply have a waypoint you walk to to end the mission.
Operation Flashpoint on the Xbox had a better editor lol
prisma oyster
dissing the game just because it does not work as you want to is not doing anything.
have a waypoint, walk and end mission is possible and easy, look it up.
@dim kindle
dim kindle
It's merely just my experience. I've tried watching videos and they are always missing something or not explaining something. Nothing worse than watching a dude select options with no commentary.
Watched videos on how to end mission, it doesn't end. Tried watching a video on how to activate a task after one ends, it doesn't work.
I imagine the editor lost it's use after dlcs came out
It's 6 my time now. I've watched videos since 11am
half pendant
are you doing it right? I only have 200 hours and i can do that
dim kindle
I have no idea what right or wrong is, I'm sinply doing what videos show.
fading goblet
Arma is not an arcade game, nor is its editor... The possibilities are endless without many restrictions, so a simple "drag&drop" solution wouldn't work.
dim kindle
It would for what I want lol
fading goblet
And I can't tell if those videos are good or not, or if you made a mistake somewhere... But since many others manage to do it means it's possible 😉
dim kindle
Literally Operation Flashpoint did all of this with an xbox remote
prisma oyster
"OFP Elite had a better editor" yeaaah, riiiiiight!
if you need help, #arma3_scripting is there for you 🙂

I swear, everything that I want to do here that game did with a few clicks
Here I can't even walk to a waypoint, or even sync it with another objective
sullen mauve
Is there a way to make the mods server side i have this mod eden extended objects which is like 7 mb but it makes people who play the mission have to download it is there a way to make sure they dont have to
prisma oyster
not every mod no.
dim kindle
Can you not start music without some sort of trigger?
vestal perch
well something has to run the script commands to play it
how would you want it to play?
dim kindle
Literally in arma 2 and operation flashpoint you could lay down a trigger and it would work. Now I need 4 things to make a trigger work MAYBE
prisma oyster
no.
dim kindle
In order to have a kill target objective, I need to make 4 task pieces. It works, maybe. There's no task completion trigger, only mission end.
prisma oyster
in Arma 2 you didn't have task module, sooo
you are comparing apples and oranges, if I may say
dim kindle
Well the task module can kick the curb, it's made everything harder for no reason.
prisma oyster
don't use it - less triggers to deal with for you
dim kindle
Objectives in those games were easy, this is ridiculous
prisma oyster
okay
dim kindle
In order to make an objective you need to use tasks.
prisma oyster
and before…?
prisma oyster
there are no objectives through editor in Arma 2
dim kindle
Oh I walked there, mission ends.
prisma oyster
yep - whatever you can do in Arma 2, you can in Arma 3 (except waypoints in specific building locations iirc)
dim kindle
Except for 12 hours in editor and watching videos I can't do any of that
prisma oyster
it's the same, triggers and listboxes - you must do something wrong somewhere ¯_(ツ)_/¯
dim kindle
I wouldn't even know where to start. I have no clue why the other two games worked and this one sucks
prisma oyster
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Eden_Editor:_Trigger to help you - tell me when you have a concrete case where it was easier in Arma 2 than in Arma 3.
good night, I'm off.
dim kindle
I played it and did it lol
You're not going to convince me that having to set two tasks, assign a waypoint to an object and adding a trigger to it is easier than move there.
prisma oyster
call to popularity: everyone says that Eden Editor is way superior to the old 2D one (but hey, they must be all wrong), A2 or A3 - except maybe a couple of aspects as mentioned before.
You can still access the old editor if you want (Ctrl+E iirc)
I am still waiting for your example of something easily doable in A2 editor that is awfully complicated in Eden Editor.
uneven badger
Is there anyway to get the time left on a countdown trigger?

Destroying an object is something that this game needs a billion triggers to do evidently

@dim kindle all I read is mimimi. A real case please
dim kindle
The last time I played arma 2 I was 7 years ago, Flashpoint when I was 15. I could do those things in those games, I can't do any of them here. Even making a mission where you ahve to stand by a laptop to download intel has videos of people opening game files.
That's a bust
prisma oyster
You didn't answer my question. Now get your nonsensical frustration elsewhere, thanks.
dim kindle
I can't answer it with detail, what I could do in those games I can't here
That's enough to know
prisma oyster
that's absolutely not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
dim kindle
Look if watching 12 hours of video, and reading hasn't allowed me to download intel there's a problem with the editor not Chrysagon
lol
prisma oyster
You are not making a single point from the beginning, all you do is complain that you can't do stuff that you could before. Well guess what, you maybe forgot how to do it, but the editor is not to blame!
dim kindle
It really is
Maybe ARMA 4 will let average joes make missions, it seems like the main mission makers on this game discourage anyone whose anyone from doing it because they want their content to shine
prisma oyster
what is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence
I would like to believe you, but bring me -one- case where what you say is true - I don't know, convince me with something
dim kindle
I'm not trying to change your mind, unless you have made missions where you have downloaded intel lol, have objectives activate after other objectives, maybe even running multiple objectives, you can't tell me it's easy
prisma oyster
Just don't tell me that the editor is worse than before - that is simply nonsense.
Yeah,advanced features require scripting - big deal
dim kindle
It is worse if doing simple things is harder now
prisma oyster
No. Now stop speaking nonsense.
dim kindle
Why have I watched 3 videos on how to destroy an item and still can't do it
broken inlet
Look if watching 12 hours of video, and reading hasn't allowed me to download intel there's a problem with the editor not Chrysagon

Not a lot of people understand it
I've been saying I'd even stream my game editor and talk to people for guidance

You now have been warned.

Well this channel is for helping not being condescending and not helping.

@dim kindle ask your precise question now 🙂
prisma oyster
Task module! You're welcome
dim kindle
Makes no sense
broken inlet
(Or alternatively the create task command if you want to do it inside a script)
prisma oyster
and just so you know, this was not doable in Arma 2 without "opening the files". 2h of ranting for this, you can do better
broken inlet
Just search for the 'create task' module in the modules page of the 3den editor and place it down
Then you can set all the relevant stuff
dim kindle
I create a task
Set a task state
add an object
add a trigger
none of those work
broken inlet
Are you using the module(s)?
dim kindle
Dude yes, I'm doing exactly what these videos show, none of it works
broken inlet
I dunno what the videos show
dim kindle
After watching more than 20 I don't think it matters what they show
broken inlet
and if you cant get a 'Create Task' module to work its definetly on you since thats just a few lines you need to type your own creative writing into
dim kindle
The msot I can do is stream my game and that's it
Creating tasks is worthless so far
Unless you know what to put into initialize good luck
broken inlet
its not since you need to do step 1 to get step 2 to work
And why would you need to put anything in the init
create task doesnt need anything in the init
broken inlet
Atleast if you're not going into a super complex mission straight away create task needs no init (afaik)
Thats the trigger not the create task module

Final, final warning.

you said you were playing it years ago, I guess you forgot stuff.

As there is NO functionality taken out from the game since OFP
so everything that could be done in OFP can be done in A3

Trying to verify something from a couple of mission creation tutorials. Is it true that if that any mods are enabled while creating a mission they will be required for the end player even if said mods do not add any assets (e.g. nightvision adjustment, ai tweaks)?
fading goblet
even worse; if you use created a mission with mods enabled (and content from those mods are used in the mission) then you won't be able to run the mission without those mods present (client or server)
if you have mods enabled while working in the editor, but not using content from those mods, they won't be embedded in the mission and won't be required

Copypaste the leader + waypoints, join group to the copied leader, then delete the leader @ember nest
uneven badger
Because the AI had the tendency of moving out of the vehicle, I had to switch from orderGetIn to moveInCargo and disableAI "MOVE"

any way I can increase the server timeout to where it starts the mission? Or even just prevent it? I don't want my players starting the mission till everyone is in the lobby.
half pendant
@graceful crypt by using 3den enhanced you can make your own patrols, or in vanilla you can just make the ai group "safe" and give them waypoints
graceful crypt
I see
Now how do I assign objectives to objects. The mission im making requires you to destroy 3 jets in the hangers and kill three pilots. Is there a waypoint to do that?
split fiber
@graceful crypt my advice would be to look into syncing triggers to tasks. The triggers should reference the objects.
haughty verge
are you still able to import .sqf/.sqm text from zeus into your mission?
paper breach
yeah
MCC sandbox or Ares/Achillies have a function in-game for it actually
dont remember which ones have it exactly
just a button or zeus module that copies it to your clipboard

yes I use zeus enhanced and it has it. just wondering if I can still place that sqf in a init or something. I know 3den changed the structure of the .sqf a while back and I haven't done it since then

i wonder if BIS took out the feature that you can assign building positions via waypoints like in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=377&v=G95yk-2ZexU&feature=emb_logo on the 2D map it does not show the buildings name for me also, sadly

How do I make AI enemies hold their position/stay still, but still shoot at players if they see them?
uneven badger
Do you want them to stay still forever?
spare portal
Yes
Until they are eliminated
And if your able to
Any way to make an AI enemy walk in a certain pattern, for example pacing
uneven badger
There are two ways you can go about it. If you want them to be the "CSAT legless turret division" and not have them move EVER:
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/disableAI with "PATH"
If you want them to not move at the start of the mission but then move when engaging:
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/doStop (which I recommend, it creates more realistic encounters)
In regards to speed:
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setSpeedMode
Although I prefer to put them in Safe mode in the Editor, that way they will walk when they are safe, but will go full speed when engaging
spare portal
For the stay still but move when engaging
is there any way I can set a certain sized zone as to where they can move while engaging?
uneven badger
I do not believe so, but I'll summon the all mighty @prisma oyster

_soldier1 disableAI "AUTOTARGET";
For the soldier1 part, do I just put the name of the AI there, so for example if I renamed the AI joe, it would be
_joe disableAI "AUTOTARGET";
Where are you putting this, in a script or in init?
spare portal
Id assume I'd put it in init, that is what it shows in the link
uneven badger
Are you creating a Sp or MP mission?
uneven badger
if it is to mp you should do
[this,"AUTOTARGET"] remoteExec ["disableAi"];
in the init
If my locality understanding is accurate
spare portal
So I whichever AI's init i paste that into it will Disable their movement?
I don't have to make changes to it or anything?
uneven badger
[this,"PATH"] remoteExec ["disableAi"];
spare portal
And in PATH I would put the mode I would like
In which case I would like Auto Target
So
Basically
Paste [this,"AUTOTARGET"] remoteExec ["disableAi"]; into an AI's init box and they won't be able to move
uneven badger
No, PATH is what you want, instead of AUTOTARGET
spare portal
But I want auto target
uneven badger
Oh ok. Then go for it
uneven badger
If you want an AI not to move and not to target anyone you could just do MOVE
It will only fire if someone crosses in front of them, because it doesn't disable targeting, but it won't move side to side, so

I have been working on a mission where you need to clear out a town and then it unlocks the next objective. I haven been able to get that part working well, but I would like to make it easier to find the last 3-4 guys hiding in the buildings. I think I have seen (in the DRO missions maybe?) the last few guys will get a marker above their head. Does anyone know a way to make this happen? Also bonus question, Some of the guys will wonder off even though they have a garrison waypoint, is there anyway to limit where a group of AI can go?

If you're using CBA (which is mandatory) you can type unitname@squadname in the Role description box on a unit

Another question that should make things a bit easier. If I place an addAction on an empty marker, would it work?
prisma oyster
no, markers are not objects
what you can do is add action to all the players, with a condition (player distance getMarkerPos "myMarker" < 5)
(for example)
uneven badger
If action is added to player, condition is evaluated all the time.
That's a bit bad for performance
prisma oyster
then check player's distance, add the action, if he goes away, remove it, etc
keep track of the id
or don't make the boats simpleObjects 🙂

You can load an image into your mission folder (create a folder and name it images or pics or whatever) and then double click the rugged screen in the editor, scroll to bottom to the texture window, put the path like \images\myflag.paa

{} these are braces. [] these are brackets
Look at the example for the function. No brackets.
You deleted the wrong brackets xD

solar condor
I'm trying to manage a scenario where a some BLUFOR guards may have to shoot OPFOR raiders every once in a while, I'd like to make sure that any OPFOR units killed by these guards do not drop any items at-all, or alternatively remove their bodies/vehicles outright when killed/destroyed(to prevent players from simply luring raiders into the guards' territory/safezones, resulting in basically free loot :p ).
I wonder wether it's possible to do that by adding some code to the relevant guards in-example in their Init? or should I rather use a seperate script for that?
uneven badger
this addEventHandler["Killed",{[objectName] remoteExec ["deleteVehicle"]}] or something like this
Oh, you want it on the guards not to shoot opfor besides the raiders?
fading goblet
You can change the side of the guards to civilians to prevent them from shooting enemies.
When you send in raiders which should get shot, change side again to bluefor and when everyone dead, remove bodies and reset side again.
solar condor
I do want the guards to kill the raiders, as safezone protection (my players are CIV, i've taken Exile as a basis) i just want to prevent my players from using the guards' endless supply of ammo :p
uneven badger
Do not give them an endless supply of ammo?
solar condor
Right but then the guards will run out of ammo and no longer keep those raiders out of the safezone :)
I did at first just let all Opfor within a certain range of the safezone get deleted, but i'd prefer the guards to just shoot them and have any opfor who's killed by the blufor stripped of the gear upon death since hopefully that doesn't look as silly :p
hard veldt
is it normal if I can't make a animation with Miller in the editor ?
solar condor
I try to avoid relying on just god-mode, in a previous scenario weve once ended up with a problem where the raiders would just stay in the safezone untill the players tried to get out 🙂 i guess for the sake of ease meanwhile i'll just resort to deleting the raiders instead once they get into the safezone itself 🙂

does the "get in" marker have to be placed then attached to the vehicle right?
like move it over and when the cursor is green release it
i'm puzzled, the AI unit have that WP, only one man go near the heli and then start rotating instead of getting in
idle rivet
ok further info: this happens only when they aircraft and the AI is on the aircraft carrier, if i move them to the ground it works
last flare
how do you export stuff like fortifications and such?
I've made a setup id like to use on different maps
only problem is that I've saved it as a custom but it's a ship with all the stuff on it for a base, when I place the custom setup the vehicles I placed on it sit underwater
idle rivet
alt and pull everything up
last flare
the ship is on the sea but everything else is at weird heights
vestal perch
you need to store the positions relative to the ship
normal composition stuff saves position by relative height
so if the ground shape changes it messes it up
last flare
aah, so any way to to that? @vestal perch
vestal perch
well Im sure there is but cant write such off the top of my head.
idle rivet
weird, the more i compose things the more they broke, example: AI have an helicopter, an hold point, a trigger attached to the radio to skip it, another waypoint away, if i enter the heli and run the radio everything is fine and the AI moves to the other waypoint, if i start the trigger while i am outside the AI starts the engine, goes in height but does not move to the waypoint
🤷♂️
idle rivet
is my experience considered normal, or I am just going crazy?
fading goblet
sounds like a locality issue (where hold trigger isn't triggered when the called isn't in the vehicle)
idle rivet
could be, but it is just doing strange things over strange things, like the aircraft carrier, heli on the AC with AI with WP to enter it does not work, move it to the land and it works, move it back it does not work again; i put a script on the init to disable the AI from moving and they still steer the aircraft, then i had to disable simulation from it completely and it worked, then i added another thing as "say x" and the disablesimulation was not working, removed the piece of code i added and it was still not working, delete the aircraft put it in again and it worked again
in some places the "flyinheight" is completely ignored below 50 but if you say 0 it lands, in other places it works
i am completely puzzled by the AI and the editor, my mind is burning
fading goblet
Well, the carrier is not a solid object so AI will think it's still trying to land/take off on water, which it can't.
and it's known that the AI doesn't always behave the way we expect, so trying to script them into doing very specific actions can (and will be) a pain
idle rivet
well i tried to make the helicopter land with the land command, it triggered after the waypoint and my pilot landed the helicopter straight into the water, but yes it's a big pain
idle rivet
new weird issue, the hold point seems to be skipped even without the trigger activation and the heli depart on his own :/
fading goblet
This waypoint type will cause the group will move to and stay at this position indefinitely. Only a Switch type trigger or script command will move the group from the waypoint. While waiting, any unknown targets are checked (group moves in the direction of the target) and any recognized enemies are engaged.
So you should have the AI stand next to the helicopter, set a HOLD WP next to them, on trigger -> move in heli and take off
idle rivet
heh, the move in heli does not work in the aircraft carrier
also i don't see how can the AI spot the enemies as not even the shore is visible
fading goblet
you could make a trigger which uses script to put the AI in the heli (moveInDriver, moveInGunner, moveInCommander, moveInCargo, etc.)
idle rivet
yep i think that's what i'm gonna do
but that would introduce the issue of players entering the pilot spot and the AI can't
i think i would just set the fuel to 0
nope now the AI just takes off and crash into the ship
and i don't mean on something on his path, it just takes off then lower to the sea level and crash in the ship or land on water, it doesn't happen always but it happened
it seems the pilot decide to eject whenever he feels like :/
let's see if the allowfleeing fix that
idle rivet
nope i have no idea why but the pilot keeps ejecting and the heli crash even if there is a copilot
idle rivet
weird i had to delete the whole group and recreate it and now it works

Ah dang, can't use those
I'm, trying to create a "sewer" system and wanted to include some shallow water for the players to walk through
haughty verge
cant use those because they are too small? or because wrong color
dim kindle
they're not actual pools of water, they're just a texture for the most part
They can only be placed on the ground itself, not on another object
haughty verge
ah I see. I'll keep an eye out for any cup puddles, but that may be a map terrain asset you can't access
dim kindle
That's what I'm thinking, but this guy on reddit made a vague post and made it sound like it was accessible from the editor
haughty verge
dim kindle
I saw that mod, was worried due to its lack of updates that it might be unstable
haughty verge
worth a test unless you want to go into the terrain builder, which is okay to do but then your players have to download your modified terrain
dim kindle
Yeah sadly not an option as I'm hosting this mission tomorrow lmao
haughty verge
been there lol

hello I need your skills, when I launch my server I get this message: mpmissions__cur_mp.pja307\mission.sqm/Mission/Entities/Item6.type: Vehicle class R3F_DRAPEAU_FR_MIL no longer exists
and the second on another template: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgMarkers.Nimitz'.

Can I do something that new objects are automatically placed into currently selected layer? or are new objects always placed in root layer?
uneven badger
If you have the layer selected, they should go directly there
sinful zenith
do I need to do something special to "select" it? or just leftclick on it once?
sinful zenith
Welp can't get it to work, I give up ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Is the "wake-up" ability for dynamic simulation working correctly? Cause i put an AI next to a lot of dynamic enable dudes and they still dont move ( i even checked with canTriggerDynamicSimulation and that is true). Still the other units dont move
prisma oyster
it usually works very properly yes

Does anyone have a discord community where its solely focused on Arma 3 Eden editor mission making in general?
Where I can also find some cool personal tutors or sources todo stuff?
small patrol
Why not here?
mortal bramble
I'm just wondering if there's an actual discord community where you actually talk together and discuss things on how it works
prisma oyster
…here?
small patrol
There's some actually but none of them are active as far as I can see
prisma oyster
Although, talking is writing here
mortal bramble
Any sources like decent youtube videos on how to create cool cinematics like people falling of from a tower and soldiers running from a strafing run that kind of stuff
I know that I could just type it in
But I wanna know the veterans recommendation
small patrol
If you know nothing about Eden Editor, first you'll need to learn the basics

Already did but I'm pushing more into the moderate stuff

Yes that is correct to know the hypothetical is one of the fundamental analysis of the concept.

What as greater effect to optimize objects when they are not meant to be used: Disabling Simulation or creating as a Simple Object?

Super Simple Object is the fastest

Btw why is there a single Old man related module thats not in the Old man Modules folder
prisma oyster
I… don't think so, why?
broken inlet
the module 'Old man QRF' is in the 'other' folder for me

Is there a way to make the camera move with an controller?
I have an Xbox One Controller
dim kindle
Will it be smooth or will the controls be similar to a keyboard
broken inlet
I doubt many people have tried that so you'll propably have to find out yourself
although i imagine that using 3den with a controller isnt all that great

My ORBAT doesn't open the viewer on clicking in map. It opens fine when using BIS_fnc_ORBATOpen in Debug Console, and was copied from another mission where it works as expected. What mission things could be breaking the map click open?
It was ALiVE Advanced Markers

How do you set a trigger off after a (hold action) is complete? Thank you
prisma oyster
You could use a global variable set e.g to true in the action

might be a quick question no idea but is it possible to port a workshop campaign in to editor?
prisma oyster
"port"?
modern locust
i guess edit
prisma oyster
extract them? but be sure to obtain permission first
modern locust
i wana find a prop that some guy used in a campaign
i was searching for hours cant find the name of this thing
or just the way that he built it
small patrol
You don't need to extract and open it in Editor to get a classname for something in it, you could check it with debug console
modern locust
really how
like what command or something
and until now didnt really know theres a use for the console

I have some problems replacing textures.
When I create the images in png or jpg format via paint everything works as soon as i create the pictures via photoshop i get no output

You surely set the texture for your desired something?

well, idk - maybe a bit issue

I am pretty sure that it is due to the export setting

Hello I'm trying to use the "Hide Terrain Objects" from EDEN for my multiplayer session, I have a bunch of placed modded buildings and items, vehicles, and such. Unfortunately when I put it onto the server and load into the game the stuff the "Hide Terrain Objects" was supposed to hide isn't hiding them is there a way to fix this on my end or?

Can someone recommend a map that catches the african savannah/jungle feeling and has nice ground textures + good, walkable buildings?
Like Chongo and Kujari.
Please tag me, as i dont keep track of the chat
it does not have to be an arid map. surprisingly africa is not just a desert 😉

thats a lot of requirements

This may be a stupid question but I haven't found the answer online: is it possible to have 2 different activations on the same trigger? For example blufor present and opfor present?
