gotcha

small patrol
#

Or, a string

drowsy crow
#

yeah i just saw what i did

#

i made it an array without realizing it

#

since i just replaced some old stuff from a previous trigger

dim kindle
#

hey, is there a way to have a task finish when a player approaches another player?

keen jolt
dim kindle
#

thanks, and what do i do to have distance be detected? ๐Ÿ˜…

#

im not really familiar with scripts

keen jolt
#

if you're not familiar with sqf you can use triggers instead

dim kindle
#

sure, i could use a trigger with a specific area and have it look for players but i dont think that will be the best option for what im making

keen jolt
#

I didn't say it's the best option

#

there are way better options if you know sqf

#

for example, a loop:

waitUntil {
  sleep 1;
  _unit1 distance _unit2 < 7
};
["TaskID", "SUCCEEDED", true] call BIS_fnc_setTaskState
dim kindle
#

o damn

keen jolt
#

so is it like two players approaching each other?

dim kindle
#

basically, yes

keen jolt
#

because tasks are global

dim kindle
#

its a task to find each other after a paradrop

keen jolt
#

but only two people right?

#

not more?

#

if you want, I can show you a way to do it with triggers

#

but it'll only work if all players gather

dim kindle
#

only 2 people

keen jolt
#

ok
well you can attach a trigger to one of the players
you set the trigger activation type to "ANY PLAYER", and activation to "PRESENT"
then in the activation condition, you put this:

this && {count thisList >= 2}

which means that at least two players must be in the trigger for it to activate
and the trigger activation code is:

["TaskID", "SUCCEEDED", true] call BIS_fnc_setTaskState

TaskID is the name of your task

dim kindle
#

i see

keen jolt
#

also, better to have the trigger server side only

#

there's a check mark for that

dim kindle
#

always have it on server side to avoid unwanted stuff

keen jolt
#

well, the actual reason is you don't want the trigger to be checked on every computer
it's a waste of performance

dim kindle
#

ye

#

so do i put both of those into the activation slot of the trigger?

keen jolt
#

I explained where to put each one

dim kindle
#

"activation condition" nice

keen jolt
#

also I recommend a higher trigger interval than the default value, which is 0.5 s
1 second is good enough
you can go higher if you want

dim kindle
#

theres something im not doing right, right now im testing on an ai that will be the player when its ready to play, i approach the ai and nothing seems to happen..

keen jolt
#

because an AI is not a player

#

change the activation to ANY (or better, side of your units, such as BLUFOR) PRESENT

#

then it'll work for the AI

dim kindle
#

no change with ANY as the activation, let me try the side

#

no change

#

i have resolved the problem on my own, thanks for the help!

keen jolt
#

welp, I just noticed that triggers can't be attached to objects meowsweats

prisma oyster
keen jolt
#

@prisma oyster
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/triggerAttachObject

This command doesn't quite work in Arma 3 [1]

Further investigation reveals that objectId param for this command is some kind of map id and not the id you can see in the editor. This map id could be seen in multiplayer when looking at netId of the static objects, for example "1:-23984219837", the -23984219837 would be the objectId. Unfortunately it still doesn't work.

#

I also tried attachTo

prisma oyster
#

and attachTo doesn't?

keen jolt
#

no

prisma oyster
#

dang

keen jolt
#

I'm sure I "heard" that it can be done tho

prisma oyster
#

same, that's why ^^

keen jolt
#

I was mistakenly using ```sqf
tr attachTo [player]

#

I thought it attaches the object to the [0,0,0] position

#

but it keeps the object at its old position! ๐Ÿ˜„

#

If no offset is specified, the current offset between the two objects will be used

#

This is kind of a weird problem but I have an IR camera sending to an RTT texture

#

which is being shown on a screen

#

at first it looks fine

#

oh i can't upload images thoncque

#

/\ when it looks fine

#

btu then after a couple of seconds it just goes bad looking

#

like some kind of white balance or distance scaling

#

but idk what's actually going on

prisma oyster
#

it might have to do with the camera being too far, as PiP has a distance limit?

clever moth
#

like render distance or distance from player

prisma oyster
#

camera to target

clever moth
#

it's odd it's like it just goes darker and lower contrast, not lower resolution, still apparently showing animated enemies' heat signatures

#

ah right

prisma oyster
#

it might come from thermal calibration, that IDK

clever moth
#

i guess it could be LOD, since that might make things blockier and if buildings go to a lower LOD they might have a weaker thermal signature

#

ah like automatic white balance?

#

that would make sense

#

can probably fix that with post processing effect on the camera

#

huh weird my color correction effect doesn't seem to do anything, i think it might be slowly deactivating the color correction for

#

hello, how do i make AI hold fire if a certain vehicle has triggered a trigger?

left sparrow
#

Hold waypoint?

#

Synced to a trigger?

prisma oyster
left sparrow
#

Oh ๐Ÿ˜…

#

You can have a force hold fire within the waypoint though

#

Depending on what you want them to do

dim kindle
#

i have an objective to destroy an ammo cache and i want there to be a sneak option by stealing a certain vehicle

prisma oyster
#

Oh, you want to be "seen as friendly"
Use setCaptive @Tagawa#1169

#

@dim kindle?

dim kindle
#

i guess that could work

#

but how do i set it up to notice that i have this vehicle?

#

cuz if the vehicle isnt stolen, theres gonna be combat

left sparrow
#

When enter a certain trigger zone

#

So set up a trigger with a certain radius and set activation blufor

#

Then in the init, set captive the other people

dim kindle
#

so, i want my player to return to a person after they have blown up the ammo cache, i have made that this person has dialogue about the mission and i want to have dialogue after the mission, i thought using a trigger with the players faction and present would work but it isnt. i have a trigger named "blown" that checks the status of the cache and it finishes the mission if the cache is destroyed. i have the trigger that should start the dialogue be "this && triggerActivated blown"

#

any suggestions?

keen jolt
#

use event handlers

dim kindle
#

triggers are way simpler

keen jolt
dim kindle
#

maybe not the most efficient but i understand them unlike that

keen jolt
#

they're loops

dim kindle
#

its not the fact im using triggers that its not working, its something else because i use the same way for other things in the mission

wind raptor
dim kindle
#

so i have an AI that the player basically walks in front of and a dialogue is started in the chat by a trigger that checks if the player has activated another trigger. this AI gives the player the mission to blow up an ammo cache and to check if the player has destroyed it or not, i simply have a trigger named "blown" to monitor if the ammo is destroyed or not. this "blown" trigger is hooked to finish the task and it does so fine but i also have another trigger at the AI that is supposed to check if "blown" has been triggered and if the player is infront of them to start yet another dialogue and by walking infront of them, nothing happens

wind raptor
#

So either the trigger doesn't activate or your second dialogue doesn't work properly.

#

Can you place systemChat "Activated"; in the On Activation (before any other On Activation code) to test if the trigger activates?

any one care to help me with some scripting ?

last aurora
dim kindle
#

so one of my triggers that is to finish at task if a vehicle is destroyed triggers when the vehicle is alive

#

im using "!alive Truck1 "

#

it worked yesterday but today it doesnt for some reason

keen jolt
#

I would save myself the headache and use event handlers instead

dim kindle
#

how many times do i have to say that i am not comfortable stepping into event handlers? i have no idea how they work and i dont really have the time to learn it either

left sparrow
#

Well that turned out nice

fair karma
#

I mean if you ask nicely the people may even write the script for you, while you analyze and learn it but what do I know about psychology

left sparrow
#

Got to test different things out

#

Youโ€™ll learn something along the way

fair karma
#

Like all the scripts I have in my mission are full of things I didn't write, or I partially wrote

#

Like geez you can get help

dim kindle
#

i'd be different if it was the first time they told me about event handlers but this must be around the 3rd time i have refused them

fair karma
#

Ok so learn them then karen, if we're suggesting it multiplie times it must be more effective than triggers

dim kindle
#

i just said i dont have the time to learn and would rather go for the alternative i am more familiar with and that i have basically already used throughout my mission

#

and i do not want to waste someones time asking "and where do i put this" or "what does this do"

#

also the rude comment wasn't needed, your point would of still be made

wind raptor
dim kindle
#

Yes, placed with the editor

wind raptor
#

Hmmm krtecek

#

You could try changing the condition to !alive Truck1 && time > 0, maybe that helps.

ripe estuary
# dim kindle i'd be different if it was the first time they told me about event handlers but ...

I know son...sometimes change is scary. Sometimes the hill is too steep, or the pond too deep...but you can make it! I know..it's hard...I Walked that path too: I used to lay down hundreds of triggers and a maze of synk-lines. But then, kind peoples in this discord channel enlighten me. Sometimes they MAY appear cocky or rude, but what they really want is HELPING you...and teach you better ways to do things. Clearly, you may want to stay in your little cozy world and not venture on new uncharted lands..but would you really grow to be a better mission-maker?

dim kindle
#

so lets say i wanted a plane to do a low pass and head straight into the ground shortly after it passes, when a trigger is triggered, how would i do that? been thinking about this one for awhile

#

preferrably the plane would actually SPAWN, not loitering THEN does the pass

wind raptor
#

Sounds like a job for createVehicle and BIS_fnc_UnitPlay to me.

dim kindle
#

how would i specify the vehicle?

#

and hwere it would spawn?

woven oak
#

What's the difference between the waypoints Unload and Transport Unload?

prisma oyster
woven oak
#

I wouldn't think so. ViV has its own waypoints: Vehicle Get In/Out and Vehicle Unload.

prisma oyster
#

so transport unload = "everyone in the cargo area, get out!" whereas unload is "teammates in the cargo area, get out"

woven oak
#

Thanks.

woven oak
#

I'm trying to set up a basic system for completing an objective once a player enters a vehicle and starts a new one for them. For some reason, it seems to be starting the new objective before it throws the completion objective for the first objective. Why is that?

#

I've got the set task state and create task markers linked to the same trigger. Is there any way to change the order in which those two are handled in the trigger itself?

wind raptor
#

Not with one trigger. You either need a second trigger or around five lines of code.

@wind raptor how would I specify the position, it says โ€œpositionโ€ but idk how I would specify it

hello, i recently started messing around with the editor for the first time and was making some tweaks to a ravage scenario. I was wondering if its possible to make the MASS of an item 0 (the mod utilizes a custom item 'rvg_money' as the ingame currency that in the config has a mass of 0.1, weight=0, but i was trying to see if these banknotes can have 0 mass so i can carry as much of it as i need).

fading goblet
#

mass is set with configs, so you'll need to make a mod to modify that.

gentle steeple
#

yep, giving that a shot, wanted to check if trying to set mass to 0 wont couse anything to implode lol.
this is the objects class hierarchy:
rvg_money > ["Combustible","RavageItem","Laserbatteries","CA_Magazine","Default"]
so in my custom mod with the config tweak, im thinking the change would look something like this?

class rvg_money: Combustible
{
mass = 0;
};

If you have grouped the units to the helicopter they will go inside after a Get Out WP, make sure you put down the heli first and then put down the Group, but make sure there's not a line between the heli and the units. then you drag the units inside the heli.

is it because it already knows that it is a marker, so it looks for markers named whatever is inside the quotes?

#

ok

#

yep; markers are an editor's specificity ๐Ÿ™‚

stable anvil
#

and if I wanted these guys to be parachuting from way up high, I just add a third value to the brackets like this:

how can I make a vehicle's fuel and health random as well?

setFuel and setDamage with a random 0.95

stable anvil
#

what if I want to also set the vehicle's rotation randomly

#

i would like it to spawn at one of 5 random points, but for each point i would like it to have a specific rotation

#

can I just add the value to the setPos?

prisma oyster
stable anvil
#

yea, I was searching the wiki for "object rotation" and "setrotation" but nothing came up

#

thanks

#

but heres the thing

#

i want each random rotation to be attached to one of the random positions

#

how would I do this?

prisma oyster
#

I, huh, what?

stable anvil
#

ok

#

so

#

I have a vehicle, and I want it to spawn randomly at one of 5 set positions. as well as position, I want to control the rotation

#

so each position has a rotation that goes with it

prisma oyster
#

you could selectRandom an array of arrays

#

e.g [position, direction]

Custom Editor Compositions can only be used in the editor, you can't use them during the mission.

#

@prisma oyster @stable anvil better use the alternative syntax of random (small values for health could explode the vehicle)
something like:

_veh setFuel random [0.2,0.6,1];
_veh setDamage random [0,0.25,0.5];

Lou, you mentioned setting up an array of positions+directions

#

could you give me an example of how I would do that?

#

I have a vehicle and I want it to spawn randomly at one of 5 locations, but at each location it must have a specific rotation

keen jolt
#

@stable anvil ```sqf
TAG_pos_dir_array = [
[[1,2,3], 0],
...
[_pos, _dir]
];

# 
selectRandom TAG_pos_dir_array params ["_pos", "_dir"];
_obj setPos _pos;
_obj setDir _dir;
prisma oyster
# 
private _posAndDirs = [
  [[0,0,0], 45],
  [[4000,4000,5], 180]
];

private _posAndDir = selectRandom _posAndDirs;

_posAndDir params ["_pos", "_dir"];

_obj setDir _dir;
_obj setPosATL _pos;
stable anvil
#

I dont really understand any of that code lol

#

so, what in that would I replace?

prisma oyster
#

@keen jolt not ninja'd, I broke it down even smaller to avoid one-liners ^^

stable anvil
#

what is _obj?

keen jolt
#

a variable named _obj containing an object

stable anvil
#

do I replace it with my own variable name?

prisma oyster
#

yeah

stable anvil
#

ok

prisma oyster
#

what you want to set pos and dir, use that ๐Ÿ™‚

stable anvil
#

the variable name of the vehicle is prowler1

#

so

# 
private _posAndDirs = [
  [[0,0,0], 45],
  [[4000,4000,5], 180]
];

private _posAndDir = selectRandom _posAndDirs;

_posAndDir params ["_pos", "_dir"];

prowler1 setDir _dir;
prowler1 setPosATL _pos;
#

do I need the underscore?

keen jolt
# stable anvil I dont really understand any of that code lol 
//create an array of pos-and-dir pairs
private _posAndDirs = [
  [[0,0,0], 45], //pos, dir
  [[4000,4000,5], 180] //pos, dir
];

private _posAndDir = selectRandom _posAndDirs; //select a randow element from the array (returns a sub-array containing pos-dir pair)

_posAndDir params ["_pos", "_dir"]; //params means assign each element of the array to new variables

_obj setDir _dir;
_obj setPosATL _pos;
stable anvil
# 
  [[0,0,0], 45],
  [[4000,4000,5], 180]

and these are the numerical values

#

so the [0,0,0] and [4000,4000,5] are the xyz

#

and the , 45] and , 180] are the directions?

keen jolt
#

yes

stable anvil
#

ok nice

#

and I can add as many of those as I want

keen jolt
#

yeah

#

just watch the commas

stable anvil
#

and if the variable name is prowler1, then what exactly do I replace _obj with?

#

@keen jolt

keen jolt
#

you don't need that

stable anvil
#

and do I just add this to the initServer.sqf file?

#

@keen jolt

keen jolt
#

dunno what you want to do, but I guess yeah

stable anvil
#

ok

#

you know what, screw it

#

i dont need the rotations

#

not that important

#

thanks for the help guys

wind raptor
#

You have it all figured out and then you give up?

stable anvil
#

well i almost figured it out

#

and then i decided to just do it the easier way

#

because i realized that it really didnt matter

#

but now i am almost done with this mission

#

except for one big part

#

I need to have random loot supply boxes

ashen haven
#

I canโ€™t figure editor out at all. I canโ€™t figure out how to place the equipment box (canโ€™t remember the proper name) and when I spawn in vehicles thereโ€™s a pilot or driver in the seat so I canโ€™t get in to use it. Iโ€™m trying to set up a private session for me and a mate so we can practice using the gear and vehicles together

stable anvil
#

on the right there is a checkbox that says "place vehicles with crew"

#

by default it is on

#

you wanna turn it off

#

and I think by equipment box, you mean virtual arsenal

#

place down any storage container and add some code to it

#

one sec

ashen haven
#

I understood all of that except the add some code to it

stable anvil
# 
["AmmoboxInit", [this, true]] call BIS_fnc_arsenal;
#

I think if you add that to the init in the storage crate, it should be a virtual arsenal

#

wait nevermind

#

i think you can just go change the equipment storage from default to virtual

#

then you have to select all the items that you want in the crate

#

just add them to the storage, and then they will be available in the arsenal

#

in infinate quantities

ashen haven
#

Is there an option to select all or do I need to do it all individually and does this include uniforms

stable anvil
#

actually yea

#

both of those methods work

#

use the code

#

put that in the init

#

that way it will select all

ashen haven
#

Nice man thank

anyone know why I am getting an error on line 3?

#

that would be the "prowler2" part

#

oh

#

i think i might know why

#

prowler 1 and 2 only have a 50% chance of being present

#

so it is getting errors on the second and third line of code

#

does that make sense?

keen jolt
#

depends
what's the error?

stable anvil
#

one sec

#

yea i think it must be that

#

because the error only comes up 3/4 of the time

#

and it happens on line 2 and 3

#

forget about line 1 btw, it is irrelevant

prisma oyster
stable anvil
#

it wants me to define prowler2 and prowler1

#

and they only have a 50% chance to be present

#

so that is the error

#

when one of them or both are not present, then an error message shows up asking me to define it

#

because it doesnt exist

#

is there any way for me to just get rid of that error message?

#

you don't get rid of the error message, you fix the issue ๐Ÿ˜‰

ok np

hallow steppe
#

this loadMagazine [[0], "gatling_20mm", "2000Rnd_20mm_shells"];

keen jolt
#

did I say that?

#

you can either mod it, or use a Fired event handler and replace the projectile with another one

hallow steppe
#

is loading it with a different munition not modding it?

#

if that won't work, how would i implement a fired handler?

fair karma
keen jolt
hallow steppe
#

ah ok thanks

keen jolt
#

and no that won't work

#

@hallow steppe
for example, this can make the player's weapons fire RPGs:

player addEventHandler ["FiredMan", {
_proj = _this#6;
_pos = getPosWorld _proj;
_rpg = createVehicle ["R_PG7_F", _pos];
_rpg setPosWorld _pos;
_rpg setVectorDirAndUp [vectorDir _proj, vectorUp _proj];
_rpg setVelocityModelSpace [0, 300, 0];
_rpg setShotParents [_this#0, _this#0];
deleteVehicle _proj;
}]
hallow steppe
#

appreciate it

hallow steppe
#

ill try using currentweapon and an if

keen jolt
#

the event handler already returns the weapon

#

also for vehicle variant, use the "Fired" EH instead (on the vehicle)

hallow steppe
#

right that's what i ended p doing

#

had

this addEventHandler ["Fired", { 
_proj = _this#6; 
_pos = getPosWorld _proj; 
_rpg = createVehicle ["B_20mm", _pos]; 
_rpg setPosWorld _pos; 
_rpg setVectorDirAndUp [vectorDir _proj, vectorUp _proj]; 
_rpg setVelocityModelSpace [0, 300, 0]; 
_rpg setShotParents [_this#0, _this#0]; 
deleteVehicle _proj; 
}]```
#

any idea why this wouldn't work ?

if (currentWeapon this == "M134") then
keen jolt
hallow steppe
#

ah thanks

keen jolt
#

I also made the projectile faster

#

(600 m/s)

hallow steppe

it was missing something

Alright so this is kinda stupid but does anyone have a good way to spawn an immobile VLS cruise missile (as a prop)?

I've actually been able to get good results with the following code but 1. still has rocket engine effect 2. explosion still occurs on collision (I can deal with this and #1 too to a lesser extent) and 3. massive and particular (i.e. specifically drops to 30 or 15 frames) frame drops when looking at certain parts of the missile (arma continues to be cursed)

Code (is in init of helper, existing objects are V2_Rocket1_Helper which the rocket spawns at, plus a truck named V2_Rocket1_Carrier to "hold" the missile):

V2_Rocket1 = "ammo_Missile_Cruise_01" createVehicle position this; V2_Rocket1 enableSimulation false; V2_Rocket1 setVectorDirAndUp [[0, 270, 180], [0, 180, 180]]; [V2_Rocket1, V2_Rocket1_Carrier] call BIS_fnc_attachToRelative; V2_Rocket1_Helper attachTo [V2_Rocket1_Carrier];

Hey guys
I'm trying to make a box with bits in hide until they activate a trigger so I've put box1 hideObject true; inside the init box and in the trigger on act I've put the opposite however when trigger activates the box doesn't re appear am I doing something wrong?

I'm trying to basically see if it would improve fps as I have a lot of boxes

Or would it be better to just disable simulation altogether instead

#

Or is there a neat object cache thing I can try

prisma oyster
#

I've put box1 hideObject true; inside the init box and in the trigger on act I've put the opposite
1/ everytime someone connects, the hide code will run for him (this code has a local effect)
2/ define "opposite"
3/ is the box named box1 (I suppose so)
4/ to what is the trigger's activation set, and is the trigger server-only?
seek to use hideObjectGlobal here (server-side)

#

@bold estuary
From my experiences (MP) :
Hide Terrain Module : Works yes, but can do funky things if you place
an object in the created empty spot.
Edit Terrain Module :
Works well for getting doors open or trigger activating a gate that is map owned or destroying a particular building ect.

fading goblet
#

They work both in MP without issues.
Just make sure you set Hide Terrain Module to "execute local", to prevent lag for everyone when someone JIP's

bold estuary
#

thanks guys

#

sometime last year i placed too many of the hide object and edit objects on the map and they kinda stopped working for some reason

#

anyone ever run into this problem?

#

after i remove some of the modules they work again

fading goblet
#

We sometimes hide 80-90% of the terrain for missions (to increase performance), and as long as they are executed locally (which is a setting in the module) they work perfectly fine.
Clients will have a slightly slower start (because it needs to hide all the objects when they load the terrain), but after that it's as smooth as.... depending on the rest of the mission.

i've had this problem that arsenal loadouts arent working in editor. im playing it on the multiplayer and it will load the original loadout of the soldier i use. what do i need to do to get the arsenal loadouts working?

wind raptor
#

@sharp lagoon Respawn on start enabled?

sharp lagoon
#

where do i find that

wind raptor
#

Well it says default is 1, so unless you actually have a description.ext changing that, respawn on start is enabled and probably the reason why your loadouts reset.

sharp lagoon
keen jolt
#

It's self explanatory

wind raptor
#

respawnOnStart?
In the description.ext file of your mission. That file doesn't exist by default, so you have to create it. There's probably some quick tutorial videos floating around on how to create a description.ext (the main and only pit fall is creating description.ext.txt instead of description.ext), follow one of these until you have a blank description.ext and then you can put respawnOnStart = 0; in there, save and... not respawn on start anymore.
Not sure if not respawning on start is what you want, but that's how you get that going.

sharp lagoon
#

Thanks

#

Ill try it

wind raptor
#

Just so that nobody can say I gave you bad advice: Instead of disabling respawn on start (which you might want to have enabled, depends on the mission), you can fix the loadouts via script (setUnitLoadout). But unfortunately it's a bit complicated because you have to export the loadout with getUnitLoadout first.

The trigger works and everything hunky dory but... as of when a new player joins it goes off again ๐Ÿ˜ณ do I have to click the server box and do a remote exec target thing??

#

I think last time I ticked that box the hint didn't show for players as it just executed on server

#

If R3vo is here is there any magic you can do with triggers for 3den enhanced ๐Ÿ˜‰

@hardy solstice I am here, but I won't touch triggers. They behave differently from normal units when adding attributes to them.

Got a small mission on a map. Have Enhanced Zeus installed. Given a certain player Zeus, but they seem to have limited permissions in Zeus. This only started happening 1 day ago. Must have been a setting I accidentally clicked.

#

can you define 'limited permission'? @hazy lava

hazy lava
#

They don't have access to some modules. They can no use the right click function on objects when in Zeus (enhanced zeus)

{"test"} remoteExec ["hintSilent", 0, false];

If I put that into a trigger that's got the server box ticked

When a new player joins will it stop executing every time?

#

I'm guessing it's the JIP function doing it's thing

Hi everyone! I need a little help. See there is this following problem: I have created a mission in editor that's kinda complex and it took me 1 year to finish. Now i'm about to invite some people to my server with this mission. But i don't really trust them and i'm worried that they might steal the mission file right after the download is finished when connecting to the server. My question is, is there any way to somehow secure the mission file (*.pbo) and prevent them from using that without my permission? Thank you

Hey guys, I'm trying to use a modded module that for some reason isn't compatible with a trigger (module starts on init no matter the attached trigger's state), is it possible to "pause" the module before it activates and "unpause" it later?

I know that I can try spawning in the module via script when I want to to activate, but this module in particular has its setting non-default and I don't how to set its setting via script, so unless there's a way to do that I'm limited to the "pausing" thing.

Which dlcs can I use in the editor so that people who have not bought the DLC can also access the server?

iirc, as long as you don't put your mission on tanoa or livonia, everyone can join (even without the DLC)
if you use DLC items in your mission, only DLC owners can fully use it. a vehicle for example. only DLC owners can drive/fly it, non-DLC owners can only ride shotgun

@nocturne oar We don't know as well as long as you don't tell us what you did

https://imgur.com/a/kgyFo0h here is the gist of it. players start with a task to walk up to the map. that works in multiplayer from what I can tell. But I can't get the next tasks to trigger. Task A/B/C in this example

#

havent scripted anything other than getting the mission to call taA, and the trigger with taA = true is synced to createtask for task A

nocturne oar
#

I read the wiki page on multiplayer scripting and its all well beyond me. I'm not a programmer. But saw this line: editor-placed triggers are created on every machine unless specified otherwise ("Server Only" Eden Editor option ticked)

so my triggers should be fine, but its something to do with the taA variable i'm updating from the mission select? That doesn't do anything either on the server, or on the player machine?

wind raptor
#

What is that mission selection module? Something from Eden Enhanced?

nocturne oar
#

its under modules/strategic. Along with the strategic map stuff. All unmodded in this example

wind raptor
#

I've never used that module krtecek

#

So the sequence is this?

  1. Enter trigger - that opens the mission selection
  2. Then taA should be set to true
  3. Then a trigger should activate
nocturne oar
#

pretty much, the startegic map leys you select the missions and has "on activate" built into the module. Seen people use that field to teleport players close to the objective https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ysflm7UYAMc

#

i want to use it to activate a create task trigger

#

might just scrap it, but its a nice way to clean up having too many tasks across the whole map at once

wind raptor
#

Does it work in singleplayer?

nocturne oar
#

yep, and works in multiplayer testing from the editor. Just not when hosted on dedicated server

wind raptor
#

Are any triggers set to server only?

nocturne oar
wind raptor
#

You can remove the call from the condition, but that's not the issue.

#

Does the strategic map open when you test it with dedicated server?

nocturne oar
#

map opens, and that completes the objective to walk to the map. and the missions show up and can be selected. but they never trigger the next task

wind raptor
#

Are any triggers or tasks synchronised / connected to a player?

nocturne oar
#

nothing synced, create tasks are set to blufor, and the triggers are set to any player

wind raptor
#

Does every task have an ID?

nocturne oar
#

no i've left them blank. and I just tested it again and actually found another issue. Even my super simple walk to the map task trigger isn't working. First time it just unassigned, and now I can't get it to do anything. but its definitely set to complete in the editor, and works there

wind raptor
#

Try giving every task an ID, I have a vague memory of the Task Framework acting funny when not provided with IDs for every task.

nocturne oar
#

thats got the go to map objective working consistently it seems. But still no luck with the other tasks

#

thanks for taking a look at it. could just be the strategic map isnt set up for what I want it to do. I'll scrap that part of the mission and have my tasks assigned from the start

plain gale
wind raptor
#

Pretty sure the task modules use it @plain gale

nocturne oar
#

I'll take a look, but pretty sure anything other than plopping down modules in the editor is beyond me

wind raptor
#

Like I said, I'm pretty sure the task modules already use that framework.

nocturne oar
#

my tasks are all simple enough for the editor to handle anyway, walk here, blow up this etc. it's the strategic map mission module which I think is the issue

#

i can always try something weird, like have the mission module teleport a unit to a trigger hidden off in the corner of the map.

wind raptor
#

Well as far as I can tell the On Activation code of that module runs on the machine of the person that opened the Strategic Map. So then the trigger on the machine of that person should activate, and that should create the task at least on that person's machine (I'm pretty certain the Task Framework actually handles creating the task for everybody else too, but it should at least work for the player using the Strategic Map).

#

Have you tried giving every task an ID?

nocturne oar
#

I did. And that stopped the weirdness of the objective not completing properly. But no change to the create task trigger

wind raptor
#

Aggravating

nocturne oar
#

Haha. It's a puzzler

wind raptor
#

I can't look at module / function source code or do testing because I'm not home and the documentation on the Strategic Map is incomplete, so I'm out of ideas.

nocturne oar
#

no worries, appreciate it. Since its more complicated than me just missing a checkbox somewhere I'll try and find a way around it

deft peak
keen jolt
# deft peak Have they added a way to make an object invisible but keep its collision? I foun...

if you want it to be a specific object, the answer is still no
Some objects can become hidden using just their texture, but there's only a few of them (mostly helper objects, such as "Sign_Arrow_F"). For these you can use: ```sqf
{
_obj setObjectTextureGlobal [_forEachIndex, ""];
} forEach getObjectTextures _obj;

Some objects are hidden by default. Again those too are helper objects.
fading goblet
#

Wouldn't it help to also remove/change the rvmats with setObjectMaterialGlobal

keen jolt
#

yeah

fading goblet
#

since those usually contain their own textures

keen jolt
#

that too

fading goblet
#

But you are right; some models have hardcoded textures, so impossible to remove and therefor not possible to hide completely (unless using hideObject)

@dim kindle If it is actually like I recall(not upon taking fire but upon spotted) , then you would need to set them to not shoot in any scenario(engagement rule: BLUE) and would need to script them to override that behavior. Basically a FiredNear EH and when triggered it will switch them to an engagement rule that allows them to return fire basically.

Hi, quick question if anyone can help.

When I place containers(eg, RHSUSAF arms boxes, ace Arsenal on a NATO equipment box) in Eden, and test on multiplayer via Eden, the containers show up.

When I move scenario to Dedicated Server, the containers are not there. As Zeus, I have to right click nearby where they should be, show editable objects, which displays the yellow markers, and then show model and enable simulation.

#

These boxes are ticked in Eden and they work on local host.

Thanks for the responses @plain gale, @plush bay - let me be clear - the issue isn't that Zeus can't edit these objects by default, it's that they aren't appearing.

I want my arsenal box, and other storage containers in my FOB to appear by default - they don't on dedicated server, but they do in SP/Local host test in Eden Editor.

I can make them show by editing the objects as Zeus on dedicated server, but I dont want to have to Zeus these objects at all, I'd rather they just worked.

I was wanting to have a patrol that, when enemies are detected nearby, loads into a vehicle and falls back to allied forces. I tried to do this by setting up a patrol with move waypoints and a cycle command, then setting the Get In, move, and unload commands for the infantry after the cycle WP and syncing a trigger to the move and cycle waypoints to delete those waypoints when BLUFOR was detected in the radius. Upon testing, I found out that syncing a trigger to a move WP will prevent the move WP from being deleted when it's reached by the unit. Is there a way to do this in editor, or should I just give up?

# atomic hornet Where do I put the script?

the event handler one goes in the vehicle init
the loop one can go in different places.

it's not a complete script.
you have to specify what you want to do. for example:

this addEventHandler ["GetIn", {
  _veh = _this#0;
  _unit = _this#2;
  if (group _unit == group player && {units _unit findIf {!(_x in _veh)} == -1}) then {
    group _veh addWaypoint [[1000,2000,0],-1];
  }
}];
#

also, in MP it requires more work

#

if that's what you're making this for

atomic hornet
#

Yeah, I'm making it for MP, what do I need to edit?

keen jolt
atomic hornet
#

yup

keen jolt
#

I supposed you can try this then:

if (!isServer) exitWith {};
this addEventHandler ["GetIn", {
  _veh = _this#0;
  _unit = _this#2;
  if (group _unit == players_group && {units _unit findIf {!(_x in _veh)} == -1}) then {
    group _veh addWaypoint [[1000,2000,0],-1];
  }
}];

if that doesn't work for some reason, use the loop variant (less optimized and not recommended):

if (!isServer) exitWith {};
0=[this] spawn {
  params ["_veh"];
  waitUntil {
    sleep 2;
    units players_group findIf {!(_x in _veh)} == -1
  };
  group _veh addWaypoint [[1000,2000,0],-1];
};
#

players_group is the variable name you gave to the group of players

atomic hornet
#

is this correct?

this addEventHandler ["GetIn", { 
  _veh = _this#0; 
  _unit = _this#2; 
  if (group _unit == Squad_1 && {units _unit findIf {!(_x in _veh)} == -1}) then { 
    group _veh addWaypoint [[6253.649,22090.99,0],-1]; 
  } 
}];```
keen jolt
#

yeah I suppose

atomic hornet
#

I'll test it out now

#

it doesn't work, the car moves before I get there. what should I change?

#

are you sure the driver is not in squad_1?

squad_1 should be the group in which the players are

#

oh

keen jolt
#

squad_1 should not be the group of the vehicle

#

the driver can be in squad_1

#

but it's better if it's not

#

so, squad_1 is the player squad, I should have the driver be a part of a separate squad? and group_veh would be the driver's variable name?

#

and add the other waypoints after that

or alternatively

remove all of them

just add a scripted waypoint, and add the other waypoints after that

     _o animateSource ["motor_source", 0];
     
     sleep 14.6;
};
#

Here is the script in question

small patrol
#

It seems the script does not contain any of movement things

topaz plover
#

it does, animateSource "Motor_Source 1 and 0

#

and it sleeps the duration one animation cycle takes

#

so as soon as the anim is done playing to value of 1. it Resets back to 0 then loops untill told to stop.

small patrol
#

motor_source supposed to do what?

topaz plover
#

Thats just an AnimationSource


class AnimationSources
        {
            class motor_source
            {
                source="user";
                animPeriod=15;
                initPhase=0;
            };
            class gong_source
            {
                source="user";
                animPeriod=0.40000001;
                initPhase=0;
            };
        };
small patrol
#

I have no idea what is the object nor animation. Is it supposed to move a target or something entirely?

topaz plover
small patrol
#

Ah hmm, gotcha. Did you made sure the script's running via some debug commands such as systemChat?

topaz plover
#

No haven't tried that yet, any simple way of incorporating that into the addAction? I'm not the one who wrote these scripts for the targets. All scripting work on this mod is done by my friend @pseudo bloom

small patrol
#

You can put the script into a mission and run

topaz plover
#

Good call! I'll try that now

#

Putting it into a mission file and using only ```sqf

this addAction ["Start Target", "TargetMove.sqf"];

small patrol
#

Put sqf systemChat "It's running!";somewhere, so you can check if it's running or not

topaz plover
#

thats somewhere inside the script yeah?

small patrol
#

Yes

topaz plover
#

The message shows fine, but no movement still

small patrol
#

Next up, try to change while {(_o getVariable "running") == 1} do -> while {true} do so the while will run by any means

#

...oh wait

# 
_o = _this select 3;```instead of `select 0;`?
topaz plover
# 


while {(_o getVariable "running") == 1} do 
{

s>
15:42:34   Error position: <_o getVariable "running") == 1} do 
{

s>
15:42:34   Error Undefined variable in expression: _o

small patrol
#

Oops sqf this addAction ["Start Target", "TargetMove.sqf",this];

topaz plover
#

Same result, systemChat shows its running. No errors, no movement.

small patrol
#

Hmm. Sorry had to go. ๐Ÿคž someone can find your answer

topaz plover
vestal perch
#

@topaz plover put different systemchat messages in different parts of the code to see what parts run

deep belfry
#

Hi there, does anybody know how to make a player unable to control an AI driver?

wind raptor
#

@deep belfry The UAV driver?

deep belfry
#

No just as in, a regular vechicle

#

lets say youre a passenger in an mwrap

#

and youre not supposed to be able to tell the driver where to go

wind raptor
#

The group leader can always give (movement) orders, so the only way there would be to remove the driver from the player's group (or the player from the driver's group).

deep belfry
#

Thanks, i'll try that

dim kindle
#

Hey there, I hope this is the right place to put this? I'm trying to use a mounted weapon as part of a composition, unfortunately the gunner rotates out through the wall of the vehicle. Is there a way to limit the rotation of static weapon turrets so that they can only rotate so much? Or be able to elevate but not rotate?

wind raptor
#

Only by modding as far as I know.

dim kindle
#

ouch, oh well thanks for letting me know before I got too lost trying to figure things out ๐Ÿ˜›

#

i need help

#

i made it so my ai gets into the helicopter

#

when they get in they jump out

#

idk why

#

please

#

help

plain gale
#

More information would be nice.

magic egret
#

How could I make AI troops entire a helicopter, then how would I make a AI pilot transport them and when the helicopter lands how would the ai get out of the helicopter?

dim kindle
# wind raptor Only by modding as far as I know.

Quick clarification question: would it be possible to do this in a non illegal way? The lascannon is from a mod, and I'd prefer if I could have a varient with limited rotation while leaving the normal one available for non vehicle bits

small patrol
#

Make a MOD to modify a MOD is legal

vestal perch
#

You can create a config addon that adds a new inherited version of the turret that has more limited angles. That way you use the files from the original addon.

#

However legality depends on the license of the original mod. If it says no derivatives then no can do.

cloud sparrow
#

That's not exactly true, is using only someone elses class a derivative?

#

From software developer perspective I would say not. Derivative is a modified source code.

#

Doing mere class somethingFromMod; is not a derivative.

vestal perch
#

Perhaps difference in translation then. But you are making a derivative of the mod even with a config mod.

#

Using same things but altering behavior

#

But I'm no IP lawyer. Simplest thing is to ask the original author.

cloud sparrow
magic egret
#

Is there a way to make vehicles follow you? Like your the leader and they follow you

#

?

vestal perch
#

group them to you

magic egret
#

Ok, one more thing

#

Cani I send a pic of what I need help with, I canโ€™t explain

vestal perch
#

you can upload it to online image host and post the link here

magic egret
#

Ok

#

So bacually I am having trouble with the troops and the helicopter
