Also, if I want to control a convoy how can I make the vehicles stay in formation with out using move thing. I am only grouping it to the first one and want to lead them without chaos

tropic light Feb 15, 2021, 4:22 PM

#

Set them down in position initially as separate groups, make sure the leader group is in "column" formation or whatever that gives you the spaced out column not the packed one. Then link the second to leader, and third to second. It should work consistently for up to 4 vehicles providing it doesn't have too many sharp turns, more vics, longer drive and more turns makes the column unstable.

magic egret Feb 15, 2021, 4:23 PM

#

Ok

tropic light Feb 15, 2021, 4:26 PM

#

also do that in zeus not 3den

magic egret Feb 15, 2021, 4:26 PM

#

oh.

#

How can I do it in 3den or I can’t?

tropic light Feb 15, 2021, 4:27 PM

#

idk how the AI is coded but I've done AI following traffic behaviour in uni so I think atm the AI calculates a new "desired" position based on the position and orientation of the leader and plots itself to move there every frame.

#

which means any deviation is gonna send the back markers wayyyyy off the road

#

especially when the server AI doesn't run on 0.001s intervals, they can't reevaluate quick enough. Works for infantry, not for vehicles.

magic egret Feb 15, 2021, 4:30 PM

#

Oof,

#

I just been doing eden to create my own missions and stuff

tropic light Feb 15, 2021, 4:31 PM

#

Personally haven't found a fool-proof way of doing it in 3den

magic egret Feb 15, 2021, 4:32 PM

#

In zues, can you go into a ai and do what ever?

#

Zeus*

#

And how I change eden to Zeus

tropic light Feb 15, 2021, 4:33 PM

#

and from the few campaign missions I've played, the only convoys in the vanilla game I rmb are the guerilla ambush on altis in base game and the other one on tac-ops pack. They managed to get like 4-5 vics doing a proper convoy in a straight line in the first convoy but the second one seem quite disconnected and they're sending timed vics down a windy mountain road. So I'm not sure the devs themselves have a solution tbh.

#

3den is the tool you use to make the pbo, zeus is live-curator

magic egret Feb 15, 2021, 4:34 PM

#

Ah

#

Ok

thorn wyvern Feb 15, 2021, 4:34 PM

#

magic egret In zues, can you go into a ai and do what ever?

There is a remote control module, under the Zeus category which allows you to control an AI

tropic light Feb 15, 2021, 4:34 PM

#

I play with my unit on zeus ops so I've never tried doing it without zeus

#

I suppose it works the same in 3den since the linking only ensures correct positions in the column so they don't try to over take each other

#

also wheeled vehicles works better on this end, tracked ones always go offroad when they detect anything (I think it includes audio from distance)

you'll need to modify the config of the planes to have a tailhook

see https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_aircraftTailhook for example config (PS. not all planes may be supported, even when modifying the config, since they don't have an actual tailhook)

For eg. I just need to set the attribute respawnOnStart = 1; but I make a lot of versions of the mission, which I then upload to my dedicated server
Could somebody help or advise what the best solution here is? If a .pbo file basically consists of everything of the custom mission, including the .sqm file and a description.ext, shouldn’t I be able to configure within Eden editor before exporting as .pbo file?

There is an option to disable stamina in the editor. I can’t remember if this is a vanilla feature or a feature of 3den Enhanced though.

however when i play the mission. the buildings that should be hiden spawn back in, making it impossible to enter the buildings i placed down.

Hi everyone... so basically this is my problem, I would like to made the AI use the CAS module I know it's not possible, but on my mission the player play as a defender and the AI attacker. The AI have some plane and drop bomb but do it's possible. I know the AI on this game is really stupid sometime...

fading goblet Feb 24, 2021, 5:14 PM

#

technically it's possible, but you most likely have to write a custom AI which can do that

harsh rune Feb 24, 2021, 5:55 PM

#

How do I do that? @broken inlet

broken inlet Feb 24, 2021, 5:56 PM

#

click on object > press space > grab and move the individual rings

#

there's multiple widgets, cycle to the one with the 3 rings

harsh rune Feb 24, 2021, 5:58 PM

#

Ok

#

How do I also make the AI that have dead animations, to stay still and not move?

broken inlet Feb 24, 2021, 6:02 PM

#

I recommend grabbing the mod 3den enhanced, that lets you set animations like that easily through their attribute menu

Hey uh so..ik how to hide/show stuff with a trigger..is it possible to have change the time n date too? So players get a screen that goes "6hours later" or something like when you use that one set date module? My goal is to use the funeral mod n have em appear as that screen comes on , to simulate time passing rather then just them outright spawning infront of em where they see it, i thought maybe i could time it super right in zeus phase but idk if i can do it exact time as i get an ai to activate trigger. If i can do all that in one swoop with a trigger thatd be great

I'd have them dismount after the IED has exploded instead of when they enter an area.
Set the Activation Type to NONE and set the condition to !(alive MyIED), that should work.

Whether the moon is due north or due south at its zenith, depends on which hemisphere of the earth you are in IIRC

You need a waypoint at the position where the car waits for the player. The car stays at that waypoint until it can complete that waypoint (either a connected trigger or waypoint condition) and then moves to the other waypoint(s).

So I'm running into a bit of an issue as of late. I'm making a mission with an air insert, and rather than using the typical AI Helicopters, I am using the Unit Playback function for the helicopters going in and out.

What I'm trying to with this as well, is have those same helicopters unload a squad of infantry at their designated LZ, so I tried using a "GET OUT" Waypoint for the mounted infantry. Only problem is, when they got to the waypoint, they didn't dismount.

To my knowledge I can't use the transport unload waypoint for the helicopters since I have their flight path hardcoded. Would I still be able to use a T-Unload waypoint or would I have to do something a bit hacky for the infantry getting out?

Edit: Just tried using transport unload. They just went and flew on their own before I activated the playback script.
Edit 2: Solved the problem. did a hacky method by having a separate trigger delayed by 1 second.

well, easiest way:
have the truck be empty at start mission, meaning: the passengers are outside. make sure they are not in the same group.
name the truck "truck1"
set dedicated waypoints for the truck and the passengers
first passenger waypoint is after unloadcargo waypoint
insert this to the passenger team leader init field:
{_x moveInCargo truck1} forEach Units Group this
run mission for testing

@hollow gorge
helicopter → waypoint → load
↑ sync ↓
group → waypoint → get in

helicopter → waypoint → unload transport (iirc) at the LZ
↑ sync ↓
group → waypoint → move (at the LZ)

helicopter → waypoint → getout (at the heliport)

group → waypoint → move (away from the LZ)

hollow gorge Mar 1, 2021, 2:31 PM

#

Where do I put the load? On the units?

prisma oyster Mar 1, 2021, 2:31 PM

on the ground, same for the get in - the group will get in the closest vehicle

hollow gorge Mar 1, 2021, 2:32 PM

So I set the units to get in and the heli to load

#

Vice versa?

Also at the unload transport do I put an invisible helipad and/ or a move waypoint prior to that?

Hey y'all,
Not entirely sure this is the right channel for this, but, worth a shot.

Dunno if anyone here has any knowledge on this they'd be willing to share, but I've been trying to make some modifications to the Antistasi Fallujah scenario in the Eden editor. My goal is to have the Independent group start with control of the Airbase, and to allow the initial HQ to be placed there.

The problem I'm having is that I have zero luck in coming up with a clear or concise explanation for how you change the starting faction control parameters in Antistasi, and hours of forum browsing hasn't really yielded any results, besides a few SQF files to look at.

Now, I'm not terribly familiar with SQF, but I have worked as a full stack software guy for a couple years so I can at least follow it around. Or, I would be able to, but many of the variables are in Spanish and in a few places it becomes lost on me what's going on.

Is there a way to alter the faction control directly from within Eden, regarding Antistasi? If not, is anyone who knows a bit more about this able to provide me with some insight as to how this would be accomplished?

Any help is greatly appreciated, and if this is in the wrong channel, my apologies, I'm new here, please just let me know the proper place to put this.

Would there be any way to mimic a ship capsizing? The base game USS ships, not any modded ones. Ive heard of an animate command (idek if thats the right term), and i tried using the show/hide to actually just rotate it and have one visible after the other. but those didnt seem to work.

OH I know what you mean, I mean to have it on a trigger 😄

#

so in one part of the mission, its fine, and then a torpedo strikes it and it becomes capsized

prisma oyster Mar 2, 2021, 12:32 AM

#

a ship is made of multiple parts, so be sure to grab the "main" one to be able to rotate it (and all the others with it!)

sacred briar Mar 2, 2021, 12:33 AM

#

I wasnt aware of that, i assumed they were one big model - although i suppose that explains the falling through the ground haha.

prisma oyster Mar 2, 2021, 12:34 AM

then use setVectorUp as it fits 🙂

See all the vector commands: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Category:Command_Group:_Math_-_Vectors

so to rotate it by 90 degrees in the z axis it would be _obj setVectorUp [0,0,0.5];?

elder hare Hey Guys. How do you make a Squad go when you arrive at their location, so like ...

for each waypoint, there is an init field that will be executed upon completion. You could set a variable like "pointA1 = true;" (remembering to set a game Logic to "pointA1 = false;" beforehand)

plain gale Mar 2, 2021, 2:56 PM

#

@prisma oyster !purgeban for trolling

sacred briar Mar 2, 2021, 2:56 PM

#

Then you could set one for the player, when they pass a trigger, have a new variable "pointA2 = true;"

#

Then use the _group addWaypoint []; in the activation field of a trigger

#

with pointA1 AND pointA2 in the init

#

So AI reaches Point A > Sets pointA1 to true > Player reaches point A > Sets pointA2 to true > Trigger sees both pointA1 and pointA2 are true, so creates a new waypoint for the squad

#

There's a chance im making this many more times more complex than it needs to be

#

But its the eden editor, what else is new 😄

#

There's another option, to disable all the PATH AI features of the AI squad until the player reaches point A, but that can go wrong if the AI needs to seek cover, or if they arent in the correct formation

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone would know how to search a terrain object name. For example: Knowing the name of the runway light prop used on the Chernarus Airfield runway.

buoyant plover Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone would know how to search a terrain object na...

If you're referring to what they're called in the game:
getText (configOf _obj >> "displayName”)

#

If you mean their className, it's typeOf

buoyant plover Mar 3, 2021, 6:03 PM

#

excuse me for the silly question, but where do you run that script?

#

im kind of new on this stuff

keen jolt Mar 3, 2021, 6:05 PM

#

I don't even know what you wanna do

#

So maybe you could explain in more detail

buoyant plover Mar 3, 2021, 6:05 PM

#

sorry

broken inlet Mar 3, 2021, 6:06 PM

#

do you want to find out the classname of an object used on the map?

#

If so, add cursorTarget or cursorObject (iirc) to one of the 3 watch fields in your debug console, and then look at the object

buoyant plover Mar 3, 2021, 6:08 PM

#

keen jolt So maybe you could explain in more detail

I want to find out a terrain prop name for the purpose of making a trigger script.

buoyant plover Mar 3, 2021, 6:09 PM

#

broken inlet do you want to find out the classname of an object used on the map?

i don't think it's a classame. It's only a single prop

broken inlet Mar 3, 2021, 6:10 PM

ConfusedDog the prop should have a classname

buoyant plover Mar 3, 2021, 6:10 PM

buoyant plover Mar 3, 2021, 6:11 PM

a blackout script

keen jolt Mar 3, 2021, 6:11 PM

#

So you want to kill the lights?

buoyant plover Mar 3, 2021, 6:11 PM

#

basically

#

and I need to know the object's name for that

broken inlet Mar 3, 2021, 6:12 PM

#

ye then what i said should work

keen jolt Mar 3, 2021, 6:17 PM

#

buoyant plover and I need to know the object's name for that

It's not the name. it's className
You can use it with nearestObjects. For example:

_lights = nearestObjects [_pos, ["class1", "class2"], 100];
{
  _light = _x;
  _hits = getAllHitPointsDamage _light;
  {
    if ("light" in toLowerANSI _x) then {_light setHitPointDamage [_forEachIndex, 1]};
  } forEach _hits#0;
} forEach _lights;

#

not sure if you could setDamage the whole thing notlikemeow

buoyant plover Mar 3, 2021, 6:19 PM

#

keen jolt It's not the name. it's className You can use it with `nearestObjects`. For exam...

ohh, so every "prop" name in arma it's a className?

keen jolt Mar 3, 2021, 6:19 PM

#

as for how to get the class names, just run the command typeOf cursorObject in debug console while looking at the light posts

keen jolt Mar 3, 2021, 6:21 PM

#

buoyant plover ohh, so every "prop" name in arma it's a className?

I'm not sure what you mean by "prop name"
All objects in Arma come from a certain class defined in cfgVehicles. This includes buildings, vehicles, units, and even some other stuff like backpacks.

buoyant plover Mar 3, 2021, 6:24 PM

#

okay, thanks a lot

keen jolt Mar 3, 2021, 6:24 PM

#

if you're referring to the names you give to objects in eden, it's their variable name (used to refer to this object in scripts, etc.)

buoyant plover Mar 3, 2021, 6:26 PM

#

nono, i was referring to the class defined objects. Thanks

buoyant plover Mar 3, 2021, 6:35 PM

#

keen jolt as for how to get the class names, just run the command `typeOf cursorObject` in...

for some reason it only returns this: ""

keen jolt Mar 3, 2021, 6:36 PM

#

then your objects probably have no class name

#

did you also try cursorObject to make sure you're pointing at them correctly?

buoyant plover Mar 3, 2021, 6:37 PM

#

It returns a null value

#

<NULL-object>

keen jolt Mar 3, 2021, 6:37 PM

#

then you're not pointing at your objects correctly

buoyant plover Mar 3, 2021, 6:38 PM

#

hmm

#

So for pointing at an object I spawned as a character in my scenario. In your case how would you do it?

prisma oyster Mar 3, 2021, 6:41 PM

you can't select terrain objects

#

only those you made

buoyant plover Mar 3, 2021, 6:49 PM

#

keen jolt then you're not pointing at your objects correctly

I figured out the problem. It's not me pointing it incorrectly. It's the object itself, it seems to be small enough to be selected by cursorObject

#

i tried this on another object and it worked as intended

keen jolt Mar 3, 2021, 6:52 PM

#

buoyant plover I figured out the problem. It's not me pointing it incorrectly. It's the object ...

try this:

onEachFrame {
hintSilent str [cursorObject, typeOf CursorObject];
}

#

then just look around

@buoyant plover also, your question is not related to this channel anymore. it's #arma3_scripting

maybe use the "Edit Terrain Object" so when selected it returns the object's name

can anyone tell me where to put addCuratorEditableObjects so i can make zues use editor stuff

wind raptor Mar 3, 2021, 7:56 PM

Either initServer.sqf or in the init fields, but then with if (isServer).

dim kindle Mar 3, 2021, 7:58 PM

#

what?

wind raptor Mar 3, 2021, 8:43 PM

#

You either use addCuratorEditableObjects in initServer.sqf or in the init fields of the objects which you want to use it with, but then if (isServer) needs to be used because addCuratorEditableObjects has to run on the server.

dim kindle Mar 3, 2021, 9:09 PM

@wind raptor wheres initserver sqf?

wind raptor Mar 3, 2021, 9:49 PM

#

It's a script that you have to create in the mission folder.

#

But if you do it there you have to name all the objects or use slightly more code to add all objects.

@signal oyster you can have a while loop that constantly checks on witch channel is that marker and if its lets say on side then delete it self you can also have a look of this https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/allMapMarkers

signal oyster Mar 3, 2021, 11:43 PM

Would I do this in init.sqf?

also would this question maybe be more fit for #arma3_scripting?

if anyone ever comes up on this question and have the same issue, you have to change the distance of the "Toggle translation grid"

No, to personalize it you'll have to edit the Description.ext file

!alive MillersTarget1 && !alive MillersVictim1 && !alive haplessBystander3

Hrm... might be able to {!alive _x} foreach, but you'd have to make an array of all the people anyways.

Unless it's a group

Then {!alive _x} foreach units group MillersAfternoonSnack

_x is special

It applies that spot to everyone in whatever function you throw at the brackets.
