Try not to learn a lot of thing once. Step by step is the only and best way to learn

naive leaf
#

that's what i do by self teaching myself usually....

sour palm
#

changing animation of ai

naive leaf
#

didnt work for this

small patrol
sour palm
#

i want to put another animation, i dont want default animations. i downloaded a animation mod and i want to type code of that

#

but i dont know code of downloaded animation

naive leaf
#

i apologise for the attitude
just sick of people assuming i know the prerequisite knowledge i need to know fix to the problem when i don't

oak dragon
#

then.... learn it if you don't understand?

naive leaf
#

no online tutorials

small patrol
oak dragon
#

there are plenty of tutorials for sqf. the wiki is a very good start

naive leaf
#

text based tutorials do NOT help me.

#

so lemme make sure i got this right

sour palm
#

i just want to play a animation in eden editor..

#

im not decided to make mission or another thing but i want to play animation. im not asking how to make animation

#

im asking how to get code of installed animation mod from steam workshop

naive leaf
#

@sour palm that wont help you. ( sorry shoulda said this was for the problem i was having )

prisma oyster
#

(no link without description please, #rules)

naive leaf
#

my bad

sour palm
#

yes but there have average 500 animations

naive leaf
sour palm
#

is there a way to find them faster

small patrol
#

Not sure what is the Mod though, I think I can recommend my Mod

prisma oyster
#

so, the principle:

  • for each { opened, you need a closing }
  • indentation (tabs) help you notice where you open and where you close one
naive leaf
#

does positioning matter at all or?

prisma oyster
#

not at all, it's just to be human readable

naive leaf
#

.............................

#

say what.......

sour palm
naive leaf
#

your telling me the }; could be anywhere after the line ....

small patrol
#

Humans write after all. Humans should debugs also

oak dragon
#

having the brackets like that makes it easier for people to read and understand, but it's not necessary

naive leaf
#

.............................

prisma oyster
#

you could writec class abc { value = 1; };``````c class abc { value = 1; };is better to read, right?

plain gale

If you are not able to read up on things then quit scripting

sour palm
small patrol
sour palm
#

want to make mission

small patrol
#

Then nothing. There're no such Mods

sour palm
#

why these animation mods are producing

#

and how players using animations in missions then

small patrol
#

Which kind of these?

sour palm
#

im seeing a lot of animations in missions

versed sphinx
#

Depends on the animation mods, some of em are just for screenshot purposes,

sour palm
#

and you saying there are no mod

plain gale
#

Script them or use 3den Enhanced

sour palm
small patrol
#

No there isn't. I'm 99% sure those animations you see are just from Vanilla

sour palm
#

im installed a animation mod from workshop and i want to find its code

#

to script a animation

#

im meaning that

versed sphinx
#

I mean there is the polpox anim viewer addon thingy ThinkPika

sour palm
#

thanks

versed sphinx
#

helps alot for browsing animation in general

sour palm
#

i was searching a thing like that

versed sphinx
#

but to have them play in MP, it's a differente code that it might give you iirc

small patrol
#

Again, TFAR anims aren't animations for you, especially for making missions

sour palm
#

i want only singleplayer

sour palm
#

taking screenshots is fine too

versed sphinx
#

But yeah TFAR animation are to be used with TFAR it self, it's not an animation pack, it's more of a added stuff

sour palm
#

can i use animations for screenshots?

small patrol
#

Yes, like everyone do

#

My intention is there after all...

sour palm
#

am i need to use your animation viewer to find animations?

small patrol
#

No. But it should make it 100000000000000000000x easier

plain gale
#

as an alternative

sour palm
#

ok i already installed it so how to use

sour palm
#

i was wanting to do screenshots only but i said mission because i think its stupidly

#

:/

plain gale
#

huh?

small patrol
#

Please no argue if you're here just to solve your issue

sour palm
#

ok

#

@small patrol how to use your animation viewer

Hey guys, i need some help. I extracted a coop mission from bohemia with the pbo program, so i could edit it with custom loadouts. I did that, it worked well, my friends could join but the mission tasks were missing. Any fix for this?

#

If i load up the mission in singleplayer, the tasks are still there, but not when i open up a server

plain gale
#

Is it a coop mission or a single player scenario?

opal skiff
#

Coop, the mission is called Headhunters, where you have to eliminate the three Officers

#

i've also asked on reddit, somebody answered "Make sure you unpack all the associated mission files along with any Stringtable.csv file that may be included" but i don't know if that's the fix

Hi all, I am actually trying to make a litle map for me and my friends and I wanted to make a litle airport.. But, does anyone know why my plane randomly break when I am driving on it ? Here is a video and screenshots if someone know what I am doing wrong 😬

#

Oof I can't upload image

#

All elements are in damage and simulation off

small patrol
#

You really should forget about the idea. Buildings vs PhysX objects' collision/damage things are really buggy

vestal perch
#

it might work if you had proper parts and it was terrain placed. but in editor its unlikely to work

solar blade
solar blade
#

Is it possible to just turn those props in terrain placed parts ?

small patrol
#

Nope

solar blade
#

Damn, thank you anyway for your answers ! 🙂

vestal perch
#

you would need new objects built for that specific purpose. so no, its not easy

plain gale
#

Why not use plane allowDamage false?

#

If it's only the dmg that's the problem then that's easy to fix.

solar blade
#

Like a trigger zone not allowing damage only when the plane is on it ?

It seems to work thx you all for answering 😀 !

Hi all,

Currently trying to make a ‘make-shift’ raft work, for some kind of low-budget insurgency thing

Currently I have several planks of wood, hastily attached to some kayaks. Currently I’m having issues with the vehicle clipping through the compilation, I have two questions:

  1. how do I overcome the clipping issue
  2. how would I ‘load’ the vehicle on the top, almost like an LCU? I’m aware this may need scripting, but is there a cheap and dirty way of doing it?

Many thanks in advance!

@atomic plinth

  1. you can not do what you want to do there
  2. only option is just more attachTo

when i add more than one animation to game for taking screenshots, animations goes wrong but there have no problem if i add one animation to only one soldier

sour palm
#

any solution?

vestal perch
#

you are probably doing it wrong way

sour palm
#

player switchMove "animationname";
sleep 0.00;

#

im using that i found from internet

#

it works fine on one soldier but if i add same or another animation to another soldier, all animations are breaking down

Hi everyone.
Can someone give me a good and reliable command for getting a helo to land, wait 30 seconds for the players to get out and then start again (engine on when on the ground). Also for the extraction the opposite way. I googled a lot and there a a lot of combinations but they won't work.
At the moment I use:

  • waypoint "load" and waypoint time settings "30 seconds"
    -invincible helipad

But the helo just keeps hovering in the air above the helipad, waiting 30 seconds and then fly away. I also tried the command "heli1 land helipad1" (variable names). Same problems. If I use the waypoint "cargo unload" it works, but I want the players to get out manually. Hiw do you guys solve this landing problem? Thanks for answers.
(I'm writing here because most of the posts in the inet are from 2017 or older. And we know arma changes...)

# hard mantle in their virtual arsenal

That's what I did in the first place, they have no IR grenades in their uniform, vest, or backpack yet when I spawn in there's an extra pair of NVGs in my uniform, and designator batteries and an IR grenade in the backpack

#

If it matters, they are the German soldiers from CUP

wind raptor
#

Could be a mod or a script automatically adding those items to your inventory.

bronze moth
#

Maybe, but I just started this mission and I don't use much scripts so it might be a mod

#

It happens in dynamic recon ops as well with the operation trebuchet stuff, it'll take away 5 of my mags and give me some explosive charges

wind raptor
#

If it even happens in missions you didn't even make yourself, it's most probably a mod's fault.

I’m trying to make the HMS Proteus move by attaching it to a frigate. So far it’s working but there’s one issue - if I hide the frigate’s model so the players can only see the submarine, it stops moving

#

How do I fix this

keen jolt
dim kindle
keen jolt
#

because you use hideObject

#

I mean you should use setObjectTexture

dim kindle
#

I have

#

Wait what’s that?

keen jolt
dim kindle
#

Gonna need some more explanation

#

That’s all uh... gibberish to me

keen jolt
#

objects have textures

#

you remove them

#

object becomes invisble

dim kindle
#

Also, small issue, the sub is attacking backwards

keen jolt
#

reverse its dir

#

when you attach

dim kindle
#

I have never used scripting before so this is basically a new language

keen jolt
# 
{
  zodiac setObjectTextureGlobal [_forEachIndex, ""];
} forEach getObjectTextures zodiac;
sub attachTo [zodiac, [0,0,-10]];
//if reverse, add this:
sub setDir 180;
dim kindle
#

So all of that goes into the subs init box?

#

Well. The sub is attached

#

But... it’s underneath it. I assume I need to modify the end values to make the boat go inside the sub?

keen jolt
dim kindle
#

I don’t have that file

keen jolt
#

create it then

dim kindle
#

I’m not running a server

keen jolt
dim kindle
#

I’m just making a mission for me and one other person on saturday

keen jolt
#

it works in SP and MP alike

keen jolt
#

you can adjust the values if you want

dim kindle
#

Okay - I’ve adjusted the values too

#

HAHA YES

#

ITS ALIVE

#

Now if I wanted to add a machine gun - same thing? Attach it to the boat and adjust its positioning?

#

Just so I can have like a browning M2 on the top of the sub to sorta, “get the players attention”

keen jolt
dim kindle
#

Okay will do

#

I think I’m gonna try a slower boat, this subs whipping around like a motorboat

keen jolt
dim kindle
#

AI

keen jolt
#

then make it go slower

dim kindle
#

How?

keen jolt
#

waypoint speed

dim kindle
#

That didn’t make any effect

#

I couldn’t get the positioning right on the M2s but I found out that I can add them later in Zeus and position them manually with their simulation turned off

Hey everyone, im currently trying to stop the agent type NPC's from moving at all, DisableAI wont work because they dont have an AI I pressume which leaves me questioning on how to prevent their movement. ( These NPC's are the zomies from ravage )

#

I know i could create them from scratch at a location at the wanted time but if possible I'd love a cleaner solution

keen jolt

if they still moves then the mod moves them manually

Hmm that must be the case then, guess im looking at creating them per demand

Just a quick question, while placing hide object module in the eden editor, when i open the attributes section i see "Operate Locally", what exactly does it do?

plain gale

The function which hides the objects is then executed locally for every client instead of globally on the server.

#

I think this is only supposed to be used when hiding tons of objects.

I guess it's to reduced the network load

Run in debug console and copy the result to notepad

okay I think I can explain it but probably will be a waste of time. I am trying to set up a mission with 2 spawn points. 1 is at base, the other is a mobile spawn. Now when I change respawning to select respawn position in attributes/multiplayer, the team dies at the beginning of the mission. This doesn't happen when I don't have "select respawn position" selected but then I can't use the mobile respawn. Also wanted people to respawn next to the mobile respawn not in it. The mobile respawn is a truck

Nothing wrong with cup. You just can't use mods that a server is not running

And all servers don't run cup.

Oh that’s what was meant. I get that. I thought he just meant something was bad in the cup mods that were stopping a lot of servers from using them.

True yes that's a good idea.
Oh, also is there a way to get around gear restrictions (since players will be looting random gear from all sides around the map)?
I've played game modes before where the players appear to be the civilian faction which gets around this (though are still targeted by AI).

player setVariable ["TAG_LoadoutStart", getUnitLoadout player];

onPlayerRespawn.sqf and paste this in the sqf file
player setUnitLoadout (player getVariable ["TAG_LoadoutStart", []]);

didn't it say at the very bottom i could just have one with multiple things

you can change TAG_ to whatever you want.

didn't it say at the very bottom i could just have one with multiple things
yes, but the two sqf file way is the more secure imo

bronze moth
#

oh ok

#

shouldn't it just be fine keeping TAG_ the way it is or am I supposed to put something there?

last aurora
#

you can ofc keep it. TAG_ is basically just a placeholder

bronze moth
#

oh okay

#

it seemed like it was supposed be replaced with something important that's why I asked

#

alright I'll test this now

last aurora
#

the whole TAG_LoadoutStart is a variable, and you can name it whatever you want. it just must match in both scripts

bronze moth
#

ahh alright

#

I tested it and it works, obviously it doesn't work when the AI squadmates die but it's okay because their loadouts are relatively close to the default ones

#

Thanks for helping, I've been wondering how to make respawns work for a while

last aurora
#

not sure where to put this code to. i guess to init.sqf

#

this then would make your current initPlayerLocal.sqf and onPlayerRespawn.sqf obsolete (if it works)

bronze moth
#

Honestly it should be fine, this only matters if you're playing without friends but all that'll happen if your squadmates die is they will lose some mags and their holographic sight will become 2x, and the important AI characters not in your squad are invincible anyway

in this case, do not use initPlayerLocal.sqf ofc

# prisma oyster Mods most likely?

I have tracked down the issue to a specific AI unit. It seems like that something with my AI units is weird. I use the RHS DEV branch and have placed a new Jet Pilot into a vehicle that didn't got deleted on mission start. However my already existing pilot gets deleted.
Now I need to find out what's wrong with these specific units

#

so it is not a mod issue, rather an issue how Arma handles my placed units, because both the existing unit and the new one are from the same class and mod

#

tested this on a fresh map with just 1 vehicle, a vanilla unit I play as and the two dudes

keen jolt
#

are they null?

plucky axle
#

so yes

keen jolt
plucky axle
#

it's literally in the editor

#

so yes it was created, by the editor

#

by myself

keen jolt
plucky axle
#

if I put the other pilot into the plane (BullDogTwo) it works and the AI gets "created" then

#

which is the new pilot

#

I checked the properties in 3DEN, nothing obviously different

#

except the "original" is in a layer

keen jolt
plucky axle
#

it;s for a loadout

keen jolt
#

if it only happens with that specific unit then something is wrong there

plucky axle
#

do you mean the config viewer? Because unit two is from the exact same class

#

and unit two works

prisma oyster
#

or a script deleting such named unit

plucky axle
#

the mission I have tested this on has zero scripts. The loadout command just got copied over. I can give the unit a different variable name, but doubt it will change anything., I will try

keen jolt
#

the mission I have tested this on has zero scripts.

#

your mods have scripts

plucky axle
#

yes I know

#

named the unit now BulldogThree it either gets deleted or never created.

#

I can't think of why a mod would delete a unit named that. Bercause the freshly created unit in the editor named BulldogTwo is just fine

keen jolt
plucky axle
#

did that, same result. But, added the newly created pilot to the same layer, and boom issue is present

#

so the issue is the layer, not the unit itself

#

This is how it looks when I put the pilot into the jet. https://i.imgur.com/cLn81xm.jpeg
If the pilot is in the Pilots layer the issue is present. I will test what will happen if I remove the plane from it's layer

#

yup, then it works

#

so the issue is the layers per se. If I put the plane object in the same layer as the pilot then the issue is also not present.

prisma oyster
plucky axle
#

only when the plane object is in another layer then this issue occurs

weird but ok, at least I know now what causes it lol

prisma oyster
past sun
# umbral orchid One more question: how do I make it so vehicles don't stop at "move" waypoints?

I dont know if it is still like that but one thing you can do is(assuming the vehicle is on the road), dont place waypoints at crossroads(ie. where the vehicle can head to more than 1 way), but in the middle of a 1 way.. This way, the vehicle will not slow down and by the time it slows down it will calculate its path before having a full stop. Another thing is dont make waypoints too far away from each other, because the longer the distance is, the longer it takes to create a path for itself which means it will decelerate for longer period.

Hey I'm not sure if its better to ask here or in ai but im working on a mission using prairie fire and grumpy old mans ambient AA (which makes the AI shoot into the air and makes really cool AA to fly though). My issue is that once players get close the ambient AA gunners shoot them down first then go back to doing the shooting at the fake ambient targets. Is there a way to get only certain enemy AI to ignore the players?

I dont want to use setcaptive because i want some threat but having 20 AA guns looks cool flring into the air but 20 AA guns merc any pilot in a second if they all focus.

hm, so you dont think it'll work?

Ok documentation got me confused for a moment. So what you can do is... You can disable targeting as I told

but you need to manually assign targets after that

#

with doTarget

west sable
#

thats okthat should work, let me check it out

past sun
#

Actually it really depends on group structure from the tests Im doing right now. But I believe I was right... It disables the unit from shifting target, documentation is a bit misleading, saying as if it completely disables from targeting to any unit.

west sable
#

right now the AA guns are bunch of separate units so ill try it

if you mean AUTOTARGET

past sun

I mean for usage of both

you shouldn't disable TARGET

if in init, yes

disable AUTOTARGET as well so he wont decide to shift target

@west sable
tried to DM you, not allowed.
so here it is:

this is a demo mission in stratis that show how this custom arsenal works:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1apgfqLmJFY8bJYc2ZLivmsX4T3x27B0W/view?usp=sharing

  • it creates an invisible helipad at the edge of the terrain and fills it with items that are predefined in the item array.
  • it blocks all content not in this list to be loaded in the arsenal
  • loading arsenal loadouts that contain items not listed in the item array will be blocked with a message and a list of what was blocked by the custom arsenal.

to edit the item array, fill arsenal\CUP_custom_arsenal_array.hpp with classnames of items you want to have in the arsenal.
if you want to have it auto filled with VN (SOG) gear only, open CUP_Arsenal_Overwrite.hpp and move to line 356.
remove line 360, 370, 372, 373 and the file arsenal\CUP_custom_arsenal_array.hpp

then you have to delete also

"srifle_GM6_F",
        "launch_NLAW_F",
        "hgun_esd_01_F",
        "U_C_Paramedic_01_F",
        "V_DeckCrew_yellow_F",
        "B_Bergen_hex_F"

and replace it with a line of code that lists the items from VN by using either
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/configFile
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/configClasses

i have no idea how that auto fill works, this is why i used a manually filled list.
you can as in #arma3_scripting on the arma 3 discord for help on this tho

Hey. I have been trying to make a mission for me and my friends to play since I'm the only one that even has the slightest knowledge on eden, which even is that much at all and I was trying to make a mission where you are in a carrier plane flying through the air as AA tries to shoot you down. But I couldn't figure out how to get the AA to shoot at the planes the only time they would attempt to attack them was when the paratroopers have already landed and began firing upon them. I have tried to search up the solution but only found more questions as it said to use either 'reveal' command line or 'knows about' command line which I couldn't figure out. so I would appreciate it if you guys knew how and could tell me.

#

A quick and dirty way would be to have sentries spot the planes on their way in and enable the data link on the sentries and AA so the AA will look for the planes. Otherwise you are going to have to use those commands.

If only I had known and thought about that... if I also can't figure out how that works then I'll have to do some digging to figure out how to write those commands

Hey guys, any of you experienced exporting a editor file to MP and when you try to open it in MP not player slots show?
I have googled a bit and all posts say to ensure mods are the same, and that I am sure of as I have not even closed my game

dusk void
#

Sounds like your player units are either not spawned or dead

#

Which would be the case if the units are from a mod but you don't have it loaded which is why that website said to check that

bleak cradle
#

All the units are there, playable, simulated etc. The mods are also there 100% unless A3 unloaded them without shutting down the game

#

I think someone else had the same problem not too long ago, but I don't know if it could be solved.

civic frigate
#

I see objectives in some missions like "Destroy the repair station to prevent further armored attacks", is stuff like this possible in the 3den editor without a zeus just deleting armored units or not sending more? If so, how?

wind raptor
#

It is possible and can be done using modules or scripting to dynamically spawn or delete units. This is a rather advanced topic and probably easier with scripting, but it's very doable.

dusk void
#

Just a few triggers could do it with very minimal scripting

civic frigate
#

Would something like this work?

#

In a trigger, and "repair" is the repair station

#

So if Opfor is detected by blufor, AND the repair station isnt destroyed, then the trigger fires?

dusk void
#

That would work, but if they get detected early on then that would be a pain. Probably have a condition that it has to be for so long like maybe 5 minutes then it activates.

#

So do a timeer and either have all the values for how long you want or make it a range if you want it to vary

#

is it possible to activate a trigger on the second pass? need a trigger to activate end mission function, problem is im taking the same route out on a river per boat.

wind raptor
#

Yes of course.

#

You could set it up so that the trigger only activates the second time the condition is met, but I don't recommend it (what if the player turns around, stuff like that).
Instead you should adjust the condition to include (in this case) the main task having to be completed.

hexed oasis
#

i think i need to combine second pass and triggeractivated

#

i couldnt figure out how to setup the trigger to fire on second pass

wind raptor
#

Do you have a trigger that updates the main (or final) task when that is complete?

hexed oasis
#

my trigger creates a task for rtb when mission is accomplished. on the way back theres a trigger area that activates on bluefor and triggerActivated trigger 1, 2, 3 etc. it is called end_mission. as soon as this one gets activated the bis_fnc_endMission fires. hope that helps, so i if i understood u right it updates to my final task to rtb

broken inlet
#

add to the condition of the trigger that ends the mission, that the trigger that creates the RTB task has to have been activated

#

so something like
true && triggerActivated rtb

hexed oasis
#

i go threw the trigger area on mission start tho

broken inlet
#

so?

#

that wont matter if the trigger that creates the rtb task hasnt activated yet

wind raptor
broken inlet
#

was it this or true?

#

I feel like I remember seeing it with true, might be wrong though

Question: I have 2 trigger to activate a waypoint. As is, the 2 triggers need to be triggered in order to activate the waypoint, meaning that they functions as AND. How can I change that to OR, which would mean that either one of the triggers, when triggered, will activate the waypoint?

in the condition of the trigger you can put ```sqf
triggerActivated Trigger_1 || triggerActivated Trigger_2

I'm very new to Eden and scripting etc, so if you know how I'd really appreciate a method. I'm just trying to have 2 gates open at once from one interactive object or something

reef lintel
#

did you place those gates yourself in eden or are they part of the map?

azure steeple
#

sort of like a borer guard room linked to gates

#

Placed with Eden

reef lintel
#

give them variable names like "Gate_01","Gate_02" etc

#

that makes it easy to do stuff with a script with them

azure steeple
#

yep

reef lintel
#

and then put this into your players init text field:

{
  _x animate ["Door_1_rot", 1];
} foreach [Gate_01,Gate_02];
#

if you re lucky it works

azure steeple
#

Right, I'll try that, thanks

Is there an efficient way to figure out what mods are preventing the debug console from opening in the eden editor without having to manually unload/load mods one at a time to figure out which one is preventing the debug console from opening?

prisma oyster

Ctrl+D to open, usually

#

and what changes that: CBA, iirc

#

@cobalt stag↑

cobalt stag
#

I know how to open the debug console

#

I loaded a couple mods and now it wont open so I'm just manually unloading one at a time and relaunching to see which one is preventing it from opening

#

Is there a more efficient way ?

keen jolt
#

if by couple you mean a couple hundred then you can "bisect" it

#

unload half
if it doesn't work, you can just blame that half (and vice versa)
you keep doing this until you find which one is the culprit

Hey guys can anyone help me with the new cinematic module?

Two questions:
1- There is a module called Ordnance, but its options are limited to 82mm mortar, 155m he shell and 230mm rockets. Is it possible to use other kinds of HE shells, in particular those 105mm of SOG CDLC and if so, how?

2- If I have a trigger that activates when OPFOR is present and is repeatable. This trigger activates ordnance call. Is it possible to force it to timeout or interval for a given period in order to emulate arty firing in sequence? How?

Hey guys, I am trying to make a series of tasks appear from an addAction, but cant really figure it out, have been trying for some time now, how would you guys go about doing this? 🙂

wind raptor
#

Are you using the task modules or are you using the task framework functions directly?

bleak cradle
#

I am using the modules 🙂

#

Better ways to do it=?

wind raptor
#

Option A: Use the task framework functions directly.

Thing addAction ["Action", {
  [...] call BIS_fnc_taskCreate;
  [...] call BIS_fnc_taskCreate;
}];
```Option B: Use the modules.
Requires a trigger with activation condition `ActionPerformed` synced to the modules. Additionally, `ActionPerformed = false;` needs to be part of `init(Server).sqf`.
```sqf
Thing addAction ["Action", {
  ActionPerformed = true;
}];
```Option B has a slight performance impact because of the trigger, Option A does not have this performance impact.

# thick swift Thank you for your reply. I'd like to know more about modules making and/or modd...

To add a new module or modify an existing one you indeed have to create a mod. I've never made a mod, so people with experience in that field (like @plain gale) will be able to tell you much more about that than me (if they want to).
Just a word of warning: If you use a mod for making your mission (e.g. by placing a vehicle or module from that mod), that usually creates what is called a dependency on that mod, meaning that people who want to play your mission also have to use the mod, and many people don't like that and thus don't play your mission.

Small Question Guys!

I have some already unconscious AI using with the following in their init box:

Pilot1 setUnconscious true;

When Players activate a trigger it activates the following, to simulate injuries from a crash:

[Pilot1, 0.5, "body", "vehiclecrash"] call ace_medical_fnc_adddamageToUnit;
[Pilot1, 0.5, "head", "vehiclecrash"] call ace_medical_fnc_adddamageToUnit;
[Pilot1, 0.5, "hand_r", "vehiclecrash"] call ace_medical_fnc_adddamageToUnit;
[Pilot1, 0.5, "hand_l", "vehiclecrash"] call ace_medical_fnc_adddamageToUnit;
[Pilot1, 0.5, "leg_r", "vehiclecrash"] call ace_medical_fnc_adddamageToUnit;
[Pilot1, 0.5, "Leg_l", "vehiclecrash"] call ace_medical_fnc_adddamageToUnit;

After a short amount of time, they regain consciousness and start self-healing, how do I programme them to remain unconscious? Have I missed anything/done anything wrong?

New to the editor and trying to pick it up. I've learned some easy stuff so far but I would like to make at least one objective to search for Intel in a specific city. I would like to place down a bunch of random things for my friends and I to have to actually search through to find the right intel. However I would like to be able to enjoy this scenario as well. Any way to make all the placed objects dynamic in that the game picks one at random and assigns the trigger to it?

plain gale
#
  1. You go into the editor and select a few locations where you want to allow the item to spawn (You can place the an object precisely and copy it's position to the clipboard from the context menu)
  2. In your mission root create a file called "initServer.sqf"
  3. In that file put
myIntelObject = createVehicle ["YOURCLASS", selectRandom [POSITION_1, POSITION_2, POSITION_N], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
vague patrol
#

@plain gale yo thank you! I've been really interested to learn scripting and honestly the tutorials I've been watching has helped start to make some of it make sense. So in this script position 1 and 2 are understandable position _N, what does that denote? And what about the "yourclass" and "can_collide"? Also do I have to add the initServer.sqf to the init in the attributes for each of the placed objects?

plain gale
#

POSITION_N just means you can put an "unlimited" number of it into there

#

so 1,2,3,4,5,6,n

#

CAN_COLLIDE means that the command will not check for other objects e.g collision.
