ah yes sorry, not call:```sqf

But Lou, what if i need to use 0 in my code now?

Hmm, tried exactly as pasted but with your addition @prisma oyster and now it does nothing (previously it still fired the first series of 2 rounds)

show code?

On phone so don't want to write the code, but LM adds ammo, sleeps, shoots, adds ammo and sleeps again instead of shoot - ammo - sleep - shoot - ammo

Argh, he appears to only fire the first barrage

add maybe moar taym

because two shots in 10s seems unlikely

#

First salvo needs time to turn turret and elevate gun, Scorcher shoots a bit faster than 1/s I think - once the gun is aligned

abstract olive
#

gave it 30, no change, raises gun, shoots twice, lowers gun, then nothing

prisma oyster
#

are you sure of the turret path?

([2] is not the amount of shots)

Oh, I just figured that's how much ammo it was refilling

is there a way that i can put this NPC to go inside vehicle? using Editor mode?

hi everyone. I need advice...again.
In a mission, I want a speaker with an addaction to play a sound. I used this command

speaker2 addAction [ "Play message", { speaker2 say3D ["hades", 50, 1]; } ];

problem is that every single player had to activate the addaction. Which command I use so that if one player activate the addaction, every player hears the sound...thanks for help.

ripe notch
#

I figured out that I need to execute the addaction in mp to every client. I just need help how I type the command in the init of the speaker, the sound source. In the inet I found this command:

#

Say3dMP = { _speaker = _this select 0; _sound = _this select 1; //if (isDedicated) exitWith {}; //if ((player distance _speaker) > 100) exitWith {}; //you probably don't need this, not sure _speaker say3d _sound; };

#

Do I just write this in the init? Or do I need to change some words? The distance in meter for example...

wind raptor
#

You need remoteExec, best ask in #arma3_scripting to learn how to achieve your desired result.

Well make sure that the path to your picture is correct

can you share your file structure and what you've entered as the filepath?

I tried converting to paa, it gave me an error, I made it 512x512, still doesn't work, I used setObjectTexture, doesn't work

I've been trying to fix this an nohing helps

#

Your path root is the mission folder. The absolute path won't work as the engine can't access it

#

Cut everything before images/

prisma oyster

and in the editor I input "images\logo.jpg"

so what you're saying is there's nothing I can do

plain gale

just put to image in your mission folder -> images

then "images\FILENAME.EXTENSION"

And i need some help with the triggers, in my senario i have a officer who run when he heard shots, and when he goes in his base, the task is failed, but when i do the thing with the trigger, it doesn't work beacause there is other NPC in the area, and i don't want to have the base empty, how can i do it ?

How to export all the mods from a senario to a html preset ? (for now i need to copy and past all the name, and check it in the launcher, and save as a preset to have an html preset... is there a better method ?

Hey, what's up, hello. I have a simple (but maybe not) question of if there is a way to disable/turn off the function in the respawn position module that automatically makes it a parachute spawn when placed in the air and if there is a way, how does one accomplish it?

fading goblet
#

If you only have a single respawn position:

  1. Place a normal respawn position at ground level
  2. add/modify onPlayerRespawn.sqf to the mission files and add:
_pos = getPos player;
// 1000 being how high you want them to spawn
player setPos [_pos select 0, _pos select 1, 1000];
elfin siren
#

I have multiple.

fading goblet
#

In that case check the wiki page about event scripts (like onPlayerRespawn), and have an if...else or switch statement to only execute that code on specific respawn points

Im trying to do an addAction command, but its not working with my object

#

Cant post pictures here

#

Bomb1 addAction ["Disarm Bomb"];

#

the variable name is Bomb1

#

and the object is a naval mine (bottom)

civic laurel
#

@sacred briar where is thr code?

#

Where are you running it from?

sacred briar
#

From the init of the object

#

I could be using this instead of the variable name

civic laurel
#

Also, check the syntax for addAction

#

@sacred briar just use this

sacred briar
#

Thats what ive been looking at

civic laurel
#

You need to have code in your addaction

sacred briar
#

see, It works on cars and objects alike, but not any of the explosives i have tested it on

civic laurel
#

this addAction["name", {code}]

#

The script part is not optional

#

So you need to have atleast the empty brackets

sacred briar
#

Ahhh okay, thank you

civic laurel
#

Remove the "code"part if you wont put anything in there

#

And enable script errors

#

In the launcher

sacred briar
#

okay, thank you! Sorry to be a noob haha, its my first time making an operation

civic laurel
#

Dont worry, everyone starts somewhere

sacred briar
#

See its odd because it works on a car, but not on my object. Maybe its a simple object?

civic laurel
#

@sacred briar mines are not simple objects, what wrong?

sacred briar
#

No clue, just doesnt appear under my scroll wheel list

civic laurel
#

What's the script?

#

Do you have script errors enabled?

sacred briar
#

I may do, let me enable them

#

And i dont have a script for it, because I assumed i could just add the action and make the object disappear when the action was complete

civic laurel
#

Do you know how actions work?

sacred briar
#

Scroll wheel, click the action, it runs the script or code. I assumed 🤔

civic laurel
#

In simplest terms, yes

#

So how do you intend on the object disappearing when you actovate the action?

sacred briar
#

I saw there was a HideOnAction code, but im not sure

#

my idea was to just use google and see if it was available there

civic laurel
#

It hides the action, not the object

#

You can run a script in the script section that hides the object the action is attached to

sacred briar
#

Okay well im literally completely new to scripting haha

#

the most advanced thing ive done so far is put a picture on a screen

#

and even that is just using photoshop and ArmaTools

hey got a question. is there a way to get a helicopter as a spawn point but its invisible until someone spawns in it and it drops players at a specific place every time?

prisma oyster
#

yes, but what if players connect at different moments of the flight?

grim gust
#

that was something i had actually thought of. I will try to write out what i was thinking.

prisma oyster
#

excellent reflex!

grim gust
#

1.) player spawn on heli
2.) heli uses designated lz
3.) other players can spawn on this helicopter until it begins to take off again.
4.) after taking off, new helicopter comes on map becomes spawn point and "taking off" heli is no longer a useable spawn point. this cycle will repeat every 30-45 seconds so as to keep a consistent spawn point.

#

does that make sense? feel free to ask questions if im not clear ab something lol

prisma oyster
#

so heli1 has a passenger, waits for e.g 30s, then leaves (if he still has passengers),
then go and drops players there, as soon as the helipad is free from heli1 heli2 spawns and becomes the spawn point

grim gust
#

so to simplify: it would only be a useable spawn point on the A (inbound flight) and B (landed) paths, but not C (outbound flight).

#

nonono heli comes into the map and becomes a spawn point when it enters the map boundaries. it is a spawn point from that time and while it is landed. but before it takes off the spawn point becomes a new helicopter that will be coming on map around the same time. just a spawn cycle loop.

prisma oyster
#

ooooooh

grim gust
#

and vehicle would (obviously) be set to undestroyable/out of combat area

prisma oyster
#

and players are forced out ofc?

grim gust
#

yeah haha sorry if that was a bit confusing the first time

last aurora
#

i have seen something similar in arma 2

#

and yep! forced out before the heli becomes unusable

grim gust
#

" check if the helo is under a specific distance to the landing point or if the helo already landed, disembarked and is on its way to disappear."
this is a little reassuring though seeing as this guy is perfectly explaining what im asking

last aurora
#

so the script from nimrod might actually work for you?

grim gust
#

maybe. it also mentions something about separate helis being spawned for each player. i was thinking something more like 2-3 helis on a loop that become spawnable points. may end up needing to screw around with it a bit.

#

ill see if i can get a screenshot real quick and draw on it.

last aurora
#

for testing:
you need to edit _chopperType = "UH60M_EP1"; to _chopperType = "B_Heli_Transport_01_F";

#

it's also possible that you have to change the unload waypoint. i can't say if it's the same in arma 3
wp0 setwaypointtype "TR UNLOAD";

grim gust
#

ahh... cant upload pictures in this channel :L

last aurora
#

use imgur

grim gust
#

not gonna be my actual LZ but figured an area with a very clear map boundary could help make more sense

last aurora
#

as you can see in the scrip, something like your idea can be achieved, but needs some good scripting skill (that i do not have).
you could go to #arma3_scripting and hope for somebody to help you either adapting the arma 2 script, or build a new

grim gust
#

awesome ill definitely give it a try! i have absolutely no knowledge of script writing in the game or outside of it, so any help is appreciated!

Hey

#

Can someone maybe Dm me and help me out on the animations and triggers

#

It won’t work for me when I preview it even though I followed what a video said to do

little lantern
#

If you put a custom expression in a trigger, does the trigger only wait until the custom expression is true or does it wait for both the custom expression and the activation to be true? Activation e.g. “Any Player” - “Present”

prisma oyster
#

only the custom expression - trigger detection is this

little lantern
#

So if I want both the custom expression and the activation, I’d need to put this and ...?

prisma oyster

if you want both, use ```sqf
this && not alive officer

Hello, I don’t know if this is the right place to ask this question, but it is about mods, for exemple if I download a visual mod to make the water better or a explosion mod with a shockwave, will I be able to use them in a multiplayer game mode? For exemple à sandbox or a KOTH?

prisma oyster
#

terrain objects are slightly-to-quite better than editor-placed objects

Also AI behavior is better with terrain placed objects

No flags in pure vanilla, extraordinarily weird because I launched with the same mods as my previous editor session, which didn't have flags. Oh well...

I am using mods but the fennec I spawned moves fine with ai waypoint

try creating another APC close to the one you have, place another waypoint, and see if it works

I've completely replaced the apc and I'll try now

little by little, remove fuel, remove health etc to see if it works or what stops

The apc is mobile but two infantry units got out

I hate that bug

prisma oyster
#

not a bug, you can script them to remain in it

dim kindle
#

I mean the commander is giving them an order to get out

prisma oyster
dim kindle
#

I fix it by starting them outside the apc and giving them a waypoint to get in

#

Because I need them to get out

#

But not there

#

And I am EXTREMELY uncomfortable with scripting

#

set their first waypoint as behaviour "SAFE" then?

#

this might do the trick

dim kindle
#

Just gonna try my method first

#

They've got in

#

APC IS ON THE WAY

#

YES BABEY

#

Just gonna check if they get out properly at the waypoint and then set a trigger so they don't move until an objective is finished

most of the time, it's either calculating the turn or calculating what's after

dim kindle
#

Haha well that looked like a genuine road law abidement then

#

I mean I am on a modded map, not a vanilla one, so maybe it has some sort of map scripting if that's even a thing?

prisma oyster
#

nope, it is highly unlikely

#

my bet is on some AI brainfart 😄

dim kindle
#

Fair enough

#

I'm on the CUP Proving Grounds

Thanks hope it works !!!

#

How do I spawn ai when a trigger is, well, triggered?

#

I don't want my reinforcements showing up on the map as a marker until the trigger is complete. Yet due to a mod I have, any friendly unit is marked on spawn

prisma oyster
#

…scripting? 😬

dim kindle
#

Oh boi

#

Luckily I have SOME experiance in that part. How do I spawn an AAF APC and it's crew/personel?

prisma oyster
dim kindle
#

Okay

#

OH MY THE WAYPOINT ACTIVATION TRIGGER WORKED

#

That NEVER happens!

prisma oyster
#

lies!

#

is it to be an MP or a solo mission?

dim kindle
#

Both

#

Solo, but able to be played as a group

#

1-4 players

prisma oyster
#

okido
be careful, as the OnActivation field is run for every connected machine!

dim kindle
#

Aha

#

Well now my repair depot won't repair my fennec or APC.

#

Never did, but I thought that was due to my mods. Mods are not the issue apparently

#

Is it because I'm using a NATO repair depot, and AAF vehicles?

prisma oyster
#

maaayhaps, that IDK

dim kindle
#

Still nothing. Right. How do I script the vehicles to be instantly repaired when they get close to the depot via a trigger?

prisma oyster
#

setDamage for the damage

dim kindle
#

So I set damage to zero?

#

How do I do that on a trigger?

#

And will that apply for friendly infantry too?

prisma oyster
#

kinda, so it has to be specific

dim kindle
#

I've got it on the trigger

prisma oyster
#

if that's only for one vehicle, link the vehicle itself to the trigger, should do

dim kindle
#

And don't worry about specifics, I've got the trigger overlapping a medical facility and repair facility, right next to each other, so it applies for both

#

Okie, trigger did not repair the vehicle.

#

Im using setDamage; 0

#

can someone help me use editor just got the game want to get into it but dont know how

#

Okie forget the repair. This is a "work with what you've got" map, after all.

How to make an helicopter extraction?

stable anvil
#

I am not super well versed in the editor and I need to make certain zones instantly kill the player when they enter the zone. I am basically making a border around a section of the map that kills players when they try to leave. How can I do this?

#

I have already made the border using rectangle ellipses. I just need to make them a kill zone.

#

@ me

wind raptor
#

If it is trigger-shaped, use a trigger.

dim kindle
#

are there any tutorials for the more advanced features of eden?

plain gale
#

@dim kindle Which features you mean?

dim kindle
#

triggers and such

stable anvil
#

@wind raptor my zone is trigger shaped. How exactly can I make a trigger instantly kill all players when they enter the area?

wind raptor
stable anvil
#

I am going to use multiple triggers to create a surrounding border. When they enter the trigger, they die.

leaden comet
#

@stable anvil What's the shape of this area? Generally the simpler the better for most things.

#

You can use:

unit setDamage 1;

#

That will kill the unit you want instantly once the conditions are met.

#

Just make sure to replace unit with the variable name of the unit you want to die. Or if there are multiple players, set the trigger to repeatable and use:

thislist select 0 setDamage 1;

wind raptor
#

"Server Only" can also be ticked for a little boost.

stable anvil
# 
{
  _x setDamage 1;
} forEach thisList;
``` is this all the code I need as long as I set it to “players present”?
#

@wind raptor

wind raptor
stable anvil
#

thanks a lot

#

does this look good?

#

@wind raptor

wind raptor
# stable anvil does this look good?

Only if you give it a size, otherwise it'll just keep killing all players on the map.
You can tick "Server Only" too, it's enough to check this on the server.

urban wedge
#

Do you know if the AI can use, AP rocket on infantry unit ? Because I never saw them use it.

stable anvil
#

yea i got the size done, its working perfectly

#

thanks a lot

#

I do need help with one other thing if anyone is up for it

#

I need a marker to be able to randomly spawn at one of 8 set locations

#

so at the start of the mission we dont know where it will spawn

wind raptor
#

initServer.sqf:

"MyMarker" setMarkerPos (selectRandom [Position1, Position2, ...]);
wind raptor
stable anvil
#

and what are Position1, Position2, etc.?

#

@wind raptor

#

are they the coordinates?

wind raptor
#

Replace them with things that look similar to this: [0, 0]. The first number is the X coordinate, the second number is the Y coordinate.

stable anvil
#

ok

wind raptor
stable anvil
#

oh so position1 is X and position2 is the Y

#

got it

#

do I keep the quotations around MyMarker?

wind raptor
#

Yes, marker names need quotes.

"MyMarker" setMarkerPos (selectRandom [[X1, Y1], [X2, Y2], ...]);
```It should look like this in the end.
stable anvil
#

ok

# 
"EndZone" setMarkerPos (selectRandom [[9991.605, 10136.208], [12066.896, 10459.807], [11762.169, 8979.034], [11199.484, 8715.893], [8925.344, 7493.565], [10729.951, 7617.473], [12447.639, 6994.803], [13803.274, 6390.537]]);
#

how does that look?

#

and my marker's name is EndZone

sinful zenith
#

Parenthesis aren't needed

#

And I prefer one position per line, or a more clear seperation.
It's a bit hard to spot bracket errors in there

stable anvil
#

well it seems to be working fine

#

so ima just leave it the way it is for now

wind raptor
#

Yep, looks good.

stable anvil
#

wait it is only spawning the marker at one of the 8 locations

#

which is the third one listed

#

[11762.169, 8979.034]

wind raptor
#

Naaaah should be random.

stable anvil
#

ok i removed the parenthases and its working

#

like Dedmen said

wind raptor
#

Poor () why do you hate them notlikemeowcry why do you not trust them notlikemeowcry

stable anvil
#

lol

#

i need help with another thing lol

#

i didnt think i would

#

i thought i would be able to get it to work

#

but this is the current init.sqf file i have:

# 
"EndZone" setMarkerPos selectRandom [[9991.605, 10136.208], [12066.896, 10459.807], [11762.169, 8979.034], [11199.484, 8715.893], [8925.344, 7493.565], [10729.951, 7617.473], [12447.639, 6994.803], [13803.274, 6390.537]];

sleep 600;
    while { true } do {
      waitUntil { sleep 1; alive player };
      if (vehicle player == player && !(player inArea "EndZone")) then
      {
        player setDamage 1;
      };
    };
  };
};
#

I want the endzone to wait 10 minutes then kill all players who are outside, and continue to kill players that leave

#

basically i want the endzone to be a safe zone and everywhere else to be a kill zone but it takes 10 minutes to activate

#

@wind raptor

wind raptor
#

First of all all this must be in initServer.sqf else it gets executed every time somebody joins.

broken inlet
stable anvil
#

is it css?

broken inlet
stable anvil
#

what is the letter code?

broken inlet
#

sqf

#

I assume you're writing sqf code

stable anvil
#

oh

#

ok

broken inlet
#

atleast it looks like it to me

stable anvil
# 
"EndZone" setMarkerPos selectRandom [[9991.605, 10136.208], [12066.896, 10459.807], [11762.169, 8979.034], [11199.484, 8715.893], [8925.344, 7493.565], [10729.951, 7617.473], [12447.639, 6994.803], [13803.274, 6390.537]];

    while { true } do {
      waitUntil { sleep 1; alive player };
      if (vehicle player == player && !(player inArea "EndZone")) then

        player setDamage 1;
      };
    };
  };
};
#

you forget that i am a dumbass

broken inlet
#

But ya, now your code looks like a christmas tree bingyay

sinful zenith
stable anvil
#

so do I rename the file to initServer.sqf?

sinful zenith
sinful zenith
#

initServer is wrong

stable anvil
#

i am using init.sqf

broken inlet
sinful zenith
#

Have you tried just adding logging to your code to see what it's doing?

wind raptor
broken inlet
#

Huh odd, it really doesnt work

sinful zenith
#

Maybe wrap your code in a
[] spawn {...}
init.sqf is supposed to end at some point

stable anvil
#

I am not a scripter

#

I dont know how to code

sinful zenith
stable anvil
#

someone else made that code for me lol and I put a few things together

sinful zenith
#

Or do you want a different pos per player. Or just one pos for all players?

stable anvil
#

no

#

for all players

#

but that isnt the problem

#

forget about the top part

#

the part that isnt working is the bottom part

# 
"EndZone" setMarkerPos selectRandom [[9991.605, 10136.208], [12066.896, 10459.807], [11762.169, 8979.034], [11199.484, 8715.893], [8925.344, 7493.565], [10729.951, 7617.473], [12447.639, 6994.803], [13803.274, 6390.537]];

sleep 600;
    while { true } do {
      waitUntil { sleep 1; alive player };
      if (vehicle player == player && !(player inArea "EndZone")) then
      {
        player setDamage 1;
      };
    };
  };
};
sinful zenith
#

The top part you don't want in init.sqf then.
It should be seperated from the bottom part

stable anvil
#

ok how do I do that?

sinful zenith
#

Move the top part to initServer.sqf as ansin said, but leave the bottom part in init.sqf

stable anvil
#

oh ok

sinful zenith
#

How big is your marker? It's a area marker right?

#

Does the inArea check work? Have you tested that with debug console for example?

wind raptor
stable anvil
#

alright i seperated the two codes

#

now let me test to make sure the top part is still working

#

ok it is working!

#

now I need to fix the bottom part

# 
sleep 600;
    while { true } do {
      waitUntil { sleep 1; alive player };
      if (vehicle player == player && !(player inArea "EndZone")) then
      {
        player setDamage 1;
      };
    };
#

or what was the bottom part

#

that is now the sqf file

#

@wind raptor @sinful zenith you guys have any idea what the problem with this might be?

wind raptor
#

Looks like too many }; to me, could that be?

stable anvil
#

ohh

#

yea

#

it was part of a bigger script

#

and i forgot to take those out

#

does it look better now @wind raptor

wind raptor
#

A bit; does it work though?

stable anvil
#

ok it works

#

but there is one problem

#

it wont kill the player if they are in a vehicle

#

how can i fix that?

# 
sleep 600;
    while { true } do {
      waitUntil { sleep 1; alive player };
      if !(player inArea "EndZone") then
      {
        player setDamage 1;
      };
    };
#

@wind raptor

wind raptor
#

Remove vehicle player == player &&

stable anvil
#

ok

#

better now?

# 
sleep 600;
    while { true } do {
      waitUntil { sleep 1; alive player };
      if !(player inArea "EndZone") then
      {
        player setDamage 1;
      };
    };
#

#

Looks like it should work.

#

Howdy folks! Any way to hide a radio-trigger until conditions are met?

wind raptor

Technically you could do

sleep 600;
while {true} do {
  waitUntil {sleep 1; alive player && !(player inArea "EndZone")};
  player setDamage 1;
};
```But it's not necessary if the other version works, it's just prettier.
ripe estuary
#

More precisely, until a parentTask is == SUCCEDEED

#

also a !alive unit could do..

wind raptor
#

@ripe estuary I guess you could create the trigger via script once the conditions are met, don't know if there's another way.

I want them to strike an unsuspecting NATO patrol. but there not instead they continue to over fly the units and then engage even out with the area or forces I wanted them to attack even specifically put the waypoints down I want 2 Russian artillery vehicles wich are trucks not tanks or stationery however these 2 will be stationary I want these 2 vehicles to stay in the outpost were there is a firefight down below between Russian and NATO I want them to stay inside the trucks for one as they keep getting out despite having stay in position and another option wich is supposed to prevent them even moving but they still get out and piss about. They don’t use the artillery weapon to seek out the hostiles not far but opposite side of were they are I even have 2 Russian troops with a LAMBS waypoint something artillery call artillery I think it is to actually call it in. nothing, Anyone ? this is why I give up

Or just use a simple doFire :

• Name the shooter ( AAguntruck1 )
• Name the target ( plane1 )
• Then put this into the shooter's ( AAguntruck1 ) INIT :
AAguntruck1 doFire plane1;

The shooter will fire at that target when in range ( and only that target ).
Have a 2nd target? Use a 2nd shooter, ect.

I've used doFire for an RPG unit to only take out a particular convoy vehicle or a FIM-92 Stinger unit take out a particular helo in a flyover formation, ect.

#

You can change it in your local difficulty settings (only works for SP and local hosted servers).
On dedicated servers you can change the difficulty presets: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/server.armaprofile#Arma_3
There's a Set Skill module which allows you to set the skill of AI (unit, group, all?), which also works with triggers.
There's a function BIS_fnc_EXP_camp_setSkill which can change the skill per side.
Or you can make a small scripts with setSkill which loops over all the AI you want to modify.

Hello everyone, maybe someone can help me, I have created a trigger so that the set conditions plus the speed greater than 30 trigger the trigger. I can't select all units but only "Player" is possible. That means that the AI cannot trigger the trigger, but I would have liked that the AI could trigger the trigger on all sides.
The code in the trigger (condition) is: "This && speed vehicle Player> = 30;"
Instead of Player I already tried allUnits, and tried allPlayer but then the trigger didn't fire. Unfortunately.

speed This

#

or not

#

theres a special array for things that are firing the trigger

#

its probably mentioned somewhere in the BI wiki for trigger page?

Can you please write the Code? I have Reading the Wiki but i have no Plan, sry

Hello. I am new to mission editing as well as the Eden Editor (just got into it a few days back). I need some help.

I have a truck set up with the player sqaud in it. I want it to move to a waypoint and then have the soldiers disembark automatically. The truck goes there alright but I can't get the soldiers to disembark.

How do I take a mod out of a mission? I can't use RHS: GREF/ACE compat on servers.

hardy solstice
#

Merge onto blank one with the correct mods loaded and re do things like attributes and carry over any external files

#

Unless there is a super easy way I think that's the quickest

#

After you merge uou saveas and overwrite the old one

broken inlet
#

that way you dont loose the other stuff

hardy solstice
#

Ah I forgot how to do that bit

broken inlet
#

note that arma can crash if you try saving the mission while there is still a reference to an item from a mod that isnt laoded

broken inlet
hardy solstice
#

I know you can delete certain bits but forgot which one but I know you have to un binarize it

broken inlet
#

imo unbinarized should be the default option anyways blobdoggoshruggoogly

sinful zenith
#

most people don't manually edit their mission.sqm
and binarized is more efficient to save and load and lower filesize

broken inlet
#

how big is the difference in saving/loading speed?

sinful zenith
broken inlet
#

For most 'normal' missions file size isnt that important anymore I think

#

assuming that the mission maker doesnt go crazy on adding images and stuff

sinful zenith
#

and with images the binarize doesn't help anywy

broken inlet
#

heh , does it do anything for sound files?

sinful zenith
#

no

broken inlet
#

ablobderpy Then I still feel that unbinarized is better

#

But ye I wish 3den just had an option to load the file anyways when you're missing a mod

#

I'd also like it to show when you load up a mission with more mods (similar to the way rimworld does it), but eh

Hi folks...
there's a way to set up a trigger with " unit 1,2,3,4 in the player group as condition?
Sort of: sqf if ([u1,u2,u3,u4] in player group) then {execVM "script.sqf"}

sinful zenith
#

in doesn't take array

#

you need to iterate through them, preferably findIf and check each seperately

ripe estuary
#

Then '' if ( u1 in player group) then {execVM "script.sqf"};'' could do?

#

Beside.. how do I translate that in a trigger condition?

I know that Triggers are local on all machines.

But did you know that execution of triggers linked to objects (even when it is a player) only works on the server?

prisma oyster

#

I know

#

but that is not the case

#

I have 1 trigger
"anybody pressent"
the On Execution is done on all machines

trigger #2 is linked to my unit. with 'owner pressent'
and the On activation is only executed on the server

#

and I made sure server-only is unchecked

#

is that a bug? or intended behaviour?

Like a reverse countdown. Something that records how long it took to complete an objective.

Not that I know of. But it's easy to do with code:

StartTime = time;
//Wait until objective is complete, either with trigger or waitUntil...
TimeItTook = time - StartTime; //The time it took in seconds.

Hey guys somewhat novice editor here. I have a couple questions I need help with anyone willing to take the time to answer them I am grateful for! 1. How do I get AI to take off the carrier?
2. How do I get the AI to take off the carrier once im ready to launch off the carrier?
3. How do I get deck crew to do launching animations for take off?
4. How do I get the game to have voice communication between the tower and player?
5. How do i implement music on launch from carrier?
example of what im asking for : https://youtu.be/kafv-h6sijg?t=60

past sun
# fluid tapir Hey guys somewhat novice editor here. I have a couple questions I need help with...

(I doubt there is anyway to do these without scripting so...)
1.) AI usually takes off upon a waypoint assignment but I would have doubts on carriers. So you may need to script the take off sequence for it not to fail. (An application of speed just like in video, or even better a gradual speed application along with a move waypoint should do the job.)
2) Pretty much same as (1) I believe?
3)You need to find out animation names and play them using either switchMove or playMove. (Once you find the animation you want in animation viewer, just copy the weird name it has and use it along with one of the links below.)
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/switchMove
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/playMove
4) You can use conversations for a proper setup. CfgSentences along with kbXXX commands or BIS_fnc_kbXXX functions. (ie. kbTell or BIS_fnc_kbTell)
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/kbTell
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_kbTell

To understand what Conversation is...
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Conversations

Personally never developed a conversation so I cant provide much info about whether commands or functions are more beneficial to use.

  1. Once your script on (1) is done, you can either add a line of playMusic or use a trigger with music. (imo , if you got a script, just add the line.)

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/playMusic
Vanilla Musics: (You will use the class name as described in link above.)
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_CfgMusic
Custom Music: (ie. Something you added to your mission, which in this case requires you to add music to mission config.)

Hey there, does anybody know how to add Intel Items withouth deleting them and so that it doesnt notify other groups?

#

I dont understand the way how it should be done with the BIS_fnx_initIntelObject

spare phoenix
# muted sapphire Hey there, does anybody know how to add Intel Items withouth deleting them and s...

If you want the intel to be picked up multiple times and limit who you notifiy.
It would probably be easier to just use addAction to an object manually and use createDiaryEntry to simulate the intel. Basicly recreating the functionality of the bis_fnc with sqf.

This because the bis_fnc will always remove the intel and dynamically limiting who gets notified would require an eventhandler and createDiaryEntry either way. As the reciepients must be specified BEFORE the intel is picked up.

I'd write you the code but not at my pc rn.

Hello everyone, I need your help. Could you help me, I try to made a CAS but with laser homing. But I don't would like to made the player made it. Can I use a script or something ?

wind raptor
#

@urban wedge Not sure if I understand your intentions correctly. If you are trying to mark a CAS target with a laser via script, you can use createVehicle with the LaserTargetW (W or E, depending on the side) class. The LaserTarget object can then be targeted by CAS.

urban wedge
#

What I would like if it's possible it's. Made a AI or maybe even nothing to target a vehicle.

wind raptor
#

So let's say you want to have the effect of somebody lasing the target MyTarget for CAS without actually having someone lase the target.
Then you can use this code ...

private _lt = "LaserTargetW" createVehicle [0, 0, 0];
_lt attachTo [MyTarget];
```... and the target is lased for BLUFOR and CAS can engage it.

I'm trying to switch the sides of the players in a trigger area using this code:

_enemyGroup = createGroup east; 
player joinSilent _enemyGroup; 
player setPos [6183.95 + random [-10,0,10],6274.57 + random [-10,0,10],1];

However, when I test it out it throws out Generic error in expression. What do I do?

lucid comet
#

Or most importantly, how do I keep player groups intact and only change their side. For example, I want the all the players of group "Alpha" from BLUFOR present in the trigger zone to get teleported to another location and have their sides switched to OPFOR. This way, if player "X" enters the trigger zone late as BLUFOR, he can still be in the same party as his other mates in the OPFOR side.

cloud sparrow
#

When creating opfor group for blufor group store it in a variable on the blufor group.

#

Then when switching the player to opfor group you can get "destination" group from his current blufor group.

Scripting, I won't write code for you. I gave you the "recipe".

Hey, I've been playing fallout nv a little bit recently and it made me wonder

#

Has anyone tried making a fallout nv style gaming in arma 3?

#

With dynamic world features and stuff

#

I always liked fallout new vegas's realistic open world/story structure even when I wasn't a big fan of the combat system or the setting

#

If not, I think it would be worth a shot

#

Maybe not with the same scale, but to start it out as an arma 3 mod/scenario would be super neat imo

#

Instead of the mojave wasteland, it could be a post-wat altis

#

Protect local villages, side with nato/csat

#

You could even create new factions

#

Just an idea

#

Only thing I could think of to be an issue is how you would make factions hostilities work when arma 3 is limited to 3 factions two of which will always hate each other (to my knowledge)

keen jolt
#

and you can have two extra sides which are always friendly/enemy to all other sides (sideFirendly/sideEnemy)

#

I'm not sure how you make someone join the sideFriendly tho

#

as for the original question, it is perfectly possible to create what you ask.
but it'd be a PITA to make
it'd require a team of experts

You could write a script that adds preplaced objects to Zeus using addCuratorEditableObjects or you could use the Zeus Enhanced mod, it allows you to do more with Zeus in general and has a system that allows you to add objects to Zeus straight from the Zeus interface.
