is there anyway to make a way point be delayed? I have this character drive up to a point, and get out, but i dont want him to immediately get out when he reaches the way point. Instead wait for like 2-3 seconds and then get out. Ive tried triggers and way point timers. Non work.

Make separate waypoints for drive to and get out?

Place two waypoints next one another

you still have two options:

create them as vehicles and change their size every frame
attach them to some helper object and resize them then

broken inlet Mar 6, 2021, 6:47 PM

#

@livid mantle you can turn things into simple objects through the attributes -> special states, I'm not sure if thats possible with units though

#

as an alternative you can attach them to an object as leopard says

How can I make an AI unit spawn if another AI unit did not spawn? I wanted to set up some units to spawn in one of two (or more) specific spots, but only one of them, and at random.

reef lintel Mar 6, 2021, 11:40 PM

#

if (random 1 < 0.5) then {
spawn at 1} else { spawn at 2}
?

#

or is it dependend on the unit itsel

high stream Mar 6, 2021, 11:40 PM

#

I don't know how to use that code, I'm pretty new to the editor

#

I tried using the Presence attribute

#

but I can't get unit B to realize whether or not unit A spawned

#

either they both spawn every time or B never spawns

dim kindle Mar 6, 2021, 11:42 PM

ye my problem was that part of a ai squad died and then moved at a slow combat pace until they had reformed the squad

high stream Mar 6, 2021, 11:43 PM

#

I tried using !alive <unit A> on unit B's presence condition but that resulted in unit B never spawning ever

#

whether or not A had spawned

wind raptor Mar 6, 2021, 11:45 PM

#

isNil "Unit_A_Variable_Name" might work, try with that.

high stream Mar 6, 2021, 11:46 PM

#

I'll try

wind raptor Mar 6, 2021, 11:46 PM

#

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/isNil
Make sure to use isNil correctly, it's different from commands such as alive and isNull.

wind raptor Mar 6, 2021, 11:48 PM

high stream Mar 6, 2021, 11:49 PM

#

It does? I wasn't aware

#

I didn't notice on your code snippet

#

I'll try again, ty

#

no error, but it's not working, once again

#

A didn't spawn but neither did B

#

I have A at 0% presence chance to test if B will spawn, and it doesn't

wind raptor Mar 6, 2021, 11:57 PM

#

Just tested it myself and it worked.
Unit 1: Variable Name = "UnitA", Probability of Presence: 50%, Condition of Presence: true
Unit 2: Variable Name = "UnitB", Probability of Presence: 100%, Condition of Presence: isNil "UnitA"

#

If UnitA spawns, UnitB doesn't spawn and if UnitA doesn't spawn, UnitB spawns.

high stream Mar 6, 2021, 11:58 PM

#

I'll try once again

#

yeah, it's just not working on my end

#

is UnitA the name of group or of a member of it?

#

I was trying it on the groups

wind raptor Mar 7, 2021, 12:00 AM

#

UnitB needs 100% Probability of Presence else it doesn't spawn in 100% of cases when UnitA doesn't exist.

#

I was using single units, I'll have a look at groups.

high stream Mar 7, 2021, 12:01 AM

#

yeah I think the issue is i'm using groups, and yes, B has 100% chance

wind raptor Mar 7, 2021, 12:04 AM

#

Oh god it's disgusting with groups

high stream Mar 7, 2021, 12:05 AM

#

why onlyafroDrink

#

I have an idea

#

I can make the Squad Lead of A a variable

#

and then have all the men of B individually have isNil "UnitASquadLead"

wind raptor Mar 7, 2021, 12:10 AM

#

GroupA: Probability 50%, Condition: true
GroupB: Probability 100%, Condition: count units GroupA == 0
Works, but it's disgusting. The Probability of 50% applies to each member of GroupA individually, so we can end up with no member of GroupA spawning (then GroupB spawns; because the Probability for GroupB is 100%, every member will always spawn when GroupB spawns) or just some member(s) of GroupA spawning (then GroupB doesn't spawn). krtecek

reef lintel Mar 7, 2021, 12:11 AM

#

if (groupA exists) then {
{deletevehicle _x} foreach units this;
}?
spawn both, kill one.

high stream Mar 7, 2021, 12:11 AM

#

wait so the spawn chance of a group is rolled individually for each member?

wind raptor Mar 7, 2021, 12:11 AM

#

reef lintel if (groupA exists) then { {deletevehicle _x} foreach units this; }? spawn both,...

Probably the easiest approach if you don't want to spawn them by script altogether.

high stream Mar 7, 2021, 12:12 AM

#

I'm very new to the editor, not sure if I can use scripts yet

#

I'll probably make a bigger mess doing that

reef lintel Mar 7, 2021, 12:12 AM

#

high stream wait so the spawn chance of a group is rolled individually for each member?

that i would like to know as well. i thought you could have 100% every unit and then do 50% on the group, but the last time i tested it, it went 50% individual, super annoying

#

i really dont need 50 groups with a single dude in them

high stream Mar 7, 2021, 12:16 AM

#

wind raptor GroupA: Probability 50%, Condition: `true` GroupB: Probability 100%, Condition: ...

#

#arma3_scripting ablobderpy

wind raptor Mar 7, 2021, 12:17 AM

#

high stream wait so the spawn chance of a group is rolled individually for each member?

Yes; set the Probability for the group and then inspect the Probability of each member.
Note how it says "Edit: Composition, X Objects" in the top bar then you edit group properties.
Only the Composition: Init and Composition: State attributes are actually group properties, you can see that the other things, including Presence, are all Object: Type / Init / ..., not Composition: Type / Init / ....

high stream Mar 7, 2021, 12:20 AM

#

why does Arma make no sense onlyafroDrink

#

bleh, enough of this, tomorrow I'll try again

wind raptor Mar 7, 2021, 12:33 AM

#

@high stream Try something like this tomorrow:
Probability 100% and Condition true for both groups. Then place this code in the Composition: Init of one of the groups (not both!):

if (isServer) then {
  {
    deleteVehicle _x;
  } forEach (units selectRandom [GroupA, GroupB]);
};
```The result should be that all members of both groups are spawned, then one of the groups is randomly selected and all of its members are deleted. Should happen so fast that you don't notice it.

Yes

wind raptor Mar 7, 2021, 11:24 AM

There is a compositions tab on the right side, so you could customise your unit, select it and save it as a composition, then you can access it from the compositions tab (not sure if compositions save the custom loadouts, but they should).
The other option would be making a mod to properly add your custom unit to the entities list.

wind raptor Mar 7, 2021, 11:31 AM

That I don't know; if you already know some programming you could have a look at how the big mods such as RHS, 3CB and CUP do it.
Maybe there is some documentation online, I don't know, modding is a black box for me as I've never tried it.
There are certainly people on this Discord who could help you out, but I'm not sure which channel would be the one to ask in. Maybe #arma3_config.

#

ah thanks, i'll try that

#

so like this?: if (triggerActivated t)

wind raptor Mar 7, 2021, 12:26 PM

#

sacred briar can anyone explain what probability of presence actually does?

When the game spawns all the Editor-placed units in the beginning of the mission, it looks at the Probability of Presence of each unit and "rolls a dice" based on the given Probability of Presence to determine whether or not it actually spawns the unit.

sacred briar Mar 7, 2021, 12:26 PM

#

Okay, thanks 🙂

wind raptor Mar 7, 2021, 12:33 PM

#

mellow fjord so like this?: if (triggerActivated t)

No, you don't need the if at all. Just use triggerActivated t as your condition. Consider this:

if (triggerActivated t) then { true } else { false };
```Look at the logic of that code:
If `triggerActivated t` returns `true`, we enter the `then`-block and return `true`.
If `triggerActivated t` returns `false`, we enter the `else`-block and return `false`.
Notice something? Our if-statement always returns the same value that `triggerActivated t` returned. Hence, we can just use `triggerActivated t` alone because the if-statement doesn't add anything new.
However, I doubt that your trigger will already be activated when the game starts because nobody has had time to activate it yet when the game determines whether or not it spawns the units.

mellow fjord Mar 7, 2021, 12:34 PM

ok that is very helpful thanks

mellow fjord Mar 7, 2021, 12:58 PM

#

i know

wind raptor Mar 7, 2021, 12:58 PM

#

triggerActivated t is most likely always false at the point in time when the Condition of Presence is evaluated (when the mission starts or even slightly earlier).

#

Meaning your unit(s) will never spawn because the condition for that is never true.

mellow fjord Mar 7, 2021, 1:02 PM

soldier_1 call ENH_fnc_ambientAnimations_exit;```

Maybe you can put a trigger with a relatively small radius (say 20m) and when they get there remove the current waypoint (so that they can get a "head start" with the next waypoint)

I've seen in a lot of high command missions, your subordinates can spot enemy contacts which will then show up on your map

#

any way I can replicate this in the editor?

#

currently using the advanced AI command mod

#

which doesn't require use of a placed module

celest oxide Mar 10, 2021, 3:41 AM

#

I’m pretty sure it does that automatically so long as you are in the same squad with them

light nest Mar 10, 2021, 3:53 AM

#

I'm asking how to do it without being in the same squad

#

since i just checked, you can do what i want with the vanilla high command module

#

but you can't do it with the advanced AI command mod it seems

past sun Mar 10, 2021, 4:51 AM

#

@light nest easiest way is to transfer the ai squad's knowledge to player. But yeah you need scripting. At least it is for regular High Command system, don't know if your mod builds its own HC System. If you got difficulty regular or below (or the setting to display enemies on map), rest will handle itself regarding the displaying on map part.

light nest Mar 10, 2021, 5:19 AM

#

Thanks

#

though I think I've found a solution to my problem?

#

can't test it but I think it's watertight

#

as long as a commander module is synced to the player, going into HC mode will still display friendly and enemy groups regardless of whether you can control them right?

#

if I pair a "blank" HC commander module to the player and the advanced AI command mod then I should be able to control groups while being able to see whatever they come into contact with

im making a pvp mission, where there are 2 sides BLUFOR and OPFOR and i have a hostage inside one of the buildings (which will be playable) and i want it so when BLUFOR free the hostage the person playing hostage follows them back to BLUFOR spawn and blufor wins, but if i setup a trigger it says mission completed on both sides not just BLUFOR, so is there a way i can make it so if BLUFOR extracts the hostage it says mission complete on BLUFOR and mission failed on OPFOR, and if opfor kill all BLUFOR members it says mission complete for OPFOR and mission failed for BLUFOR, does anyone know if this is possible?

Ok odd question, transportUnload doesn't seem to work quite right with ffv positions (which makes some sense since they're turret positions). Does the transportUnload waypoint work with turret positions that are set with 'showAsCargo = true' in their config?

Hey I'm trying to add custom loadouts to my mission

I copied the CfgRespawnInventory examples into the mission's Description.ext just to get it working but I'm not getting the loadouts that are in the template, rather just the unit you picked default
loadout.

(example on https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Description.ext)

the Description.ext also has

onLoadName         = C1 M4;
author             = Murix;                                    
onLoadMission     = Insurrectionists attempted to regroup;
loadScreen         = "Img\Overlay.jpg";

respawn = "BASE";
respawnDelay = 20;
respawnTemplates[] = {"MenuPosition","MenuInventory"};
allowProfileGlasses = 0;

Is there something I forgot to get this working?

#

I can tell the Description.ext is being read as putting in and removing

respawnOnStart = -1;

changes how the play starts the mission

if you sync all the apcs into the same group, then if the first apc is the group leader if you set waypoints for the first one the rest should follow

give the moderator slot / unit a name like "moderator1"
set a new game master module and set "owner" to "moderator1"
post this code to the original game master module init field

 [] spawn { 
  while {true} do { 
   { 
    _x addCuratorEditableObjects [allUnits, true]; 
    _x addCuratorEditableObjects [vehicles, true];

you don't need "help", you want someone to do it for you, and this means posting in #creators_recruiting and waiting for answers

I've noticed something about waypoints that are synced (set waypoint activation) with "Skip Waypoint" triggers - no matter of the type of waypoint, they never complete and the trigger becomes the only way to get to next waypoint.
Now my memory tells me that it used to be that they'd work normally before, and documentation suggests only hold and guard waypoints should never complete by themselves.

#

Am I doing something wrong there?

#

I'm on work computer, so pro paint graphics:

#

I'd believe that this simple patrol + move to waypoint 4 on trigger loop should work, but as soon as "set waypoint activation" is synced with a waypoint, unit goes to waypoint 0 and stands there waiting for trigger

prisma oyster Mar 15, 2021, 9:58 PM

#

iirc, if you wanted to skip 1-2-3 you only had to link #3

nimble trail Mar 15, 2021, 9:58 PM

#

they'd go through full loop fist, though, then unit would go from 2 to 4, non?

prisma oyster Mar 15, 2021, 10:00 PM

#

"non" 😄 afair

nimble trail Mar 15, 2021, 10:00 PM

#

but I'm mainly interested in why syncing to skip waypoint makes units stop and wait for the trigger, no matter what waypoint it is

#

I mean I get that "set waypoint activation" sync overwrites waypoint activation completely (or so it appears), but how to use "skip waypoint" to skip waypoints then?

prisma oyster Mar 15, 2021, 10:06 PM

#

I don't remember in OFP if "skip waypoint" "locked" the waypoint until trigger activation; it might have been the case

#

if you want to skip the looped waypoints here, link the "skip waypoint" trigger to waypoint 4 and have the destination set to waypoint 5

nimble trail Mar 15, 2021, 10:10 PM

#

yeah, it does work for Cycle waypoint, but it got me seriously puzzled when I spent some time setting different patrol patterns for different mission states, using what documentation said I should, for units to completely refuse to walk (and it took me a while to realise waypoint activation is responsible)

#

(and yes, docs say it's particularly useful for cycle and hold, not that it works on other waypoints, but doesn't say it does not neither 😄 )

prisma oyster Mar 15, 2021, 10:12 PM

#

iirc from the OFP editing guide (paper!), it's a skip/lock trigger, not just "skip"

#

the waypoint AND the trigger have to be ok to go next step

#

but that's… like, old 😄

nimble trail Mar 15, 2021, 10:14 PM

#

ok, thanks. I'll add it to my Arma 5 whishlist 😄

any tips on making an ai cargo plane take off from a carrier and airdrop players?

#

What do you want to drop on the players ?

#

😛

#

nvm just decided to make it player controlled

#

any general tips on editing with a carrier then?

#

i was just joking around sorry 😐

#

i didnt take any offence

#

@dim kindle do you know how to use the cable jump thing for the jets

#

sadly no i play only vanilla units and barely use jets so if i use a carrier its mostly for the transport helo whitch is easy to setup

#

hey, you should join me if you want, my units could use players

how do i make it so when a respawn point / tickets on a side end the game ends?

rotund comet Mar 16, 2021, 3:45 AM

@dim kindle i think you can steal that from any github arma koth fork

dim kindle Mar 16, 2021, 3:45 AM

if only i had enough iq points do know how to do that

rotund comet Mar 16, 2021, 3:46 AM

#

you make a mission?

#

you know about init.sqf?

#

@dim kindle well you should find topics like "respawn" and "tickets" in this https://github.com/newtondev/SealDrop-KotH

#

also this gives much clue: BIS_fnc_endMission

@rotund comet hmm, how do i set up halo jumps from a c130

#

when the plane moves everyone just slides out

rotund comet Mar 16, 2021, 4:26 AM

who controls the plane?

dim kindle Mar 16, 2021, 4:27 AM

#

tried with both

#

why

#

@rotund comet

rotund comet Mar 16, 2021, 4:35 AM

#

cause the solution depends on that

#

you wont need the real plane for that, even if you see it. but only if the AI does the drop

@dim kindle
you can not have people "walking out to the ramp" of a flying c130 in arma

dim kindle Mar 16, 2021, 5:46 AM

#

: (

#

already replaced it with a sitting down one tho

last aurora Mar 16, 2021, 5:47 AM

#

there was a script where a static c130 was spawned at a defined height but with the engine running. people could "walk off" the ramp

#

not sure if that was A2 or A3

dim kindle Mar 16, 2021, 5:48 AM

#

is there an easy way i can make it so that if one squad/group loses all their tickets the game ends?
