if the vehicle gets destroyed the spawn point stay there I think. I don't think the garbage collector picks it up with the vehicle.

You can't do it with SF as far as I know. Maybe with scripting something.

[west steeple]

Thanks, have to test that way

[faint dove]

Back to having the issue with it not showing up in Scenarios again...

But this time, I did everything from before and it still won't show.

[lean scroll]

publish it to workshop? I'll look at it. whats it called?

[faint dove]

Ye, I did. That got it to work, but no idea why testing it locally won't.

But it's called Ferngrove.

[west steeple]

Can you help?

I can get the mod published to the workshop, but I can't get the scenario to appear. Where is the problem?

[pure lynx]

Hello guys, i created a very simple mission with GameModePlain.et although in workbench it does show the game master option, when loaded on my server it doesn't allow me to do so. Any idea on what game mode /option i should be using in the workbench to activate GameMaster mode?

[vestal berry]

where is you config file located? Is it in Missions folder?

[west steeple]

yes, it is in Mission folder

[vestal berry]

and is your mod downloaded correctly?

try also making "Path" parameter empty

[west steeple]

publishing to the workshop went well

[west steeple]

I'll try and test

[vestal berry]

and how went the download?

[vestal berry]

I'm asking about download

not uploading (aka publishing) to workshop

[west steeple]

mod downloaded well and no problems

[vestal berry]

can you post pic from open Workshop page of the mod? Is addon activated

[west steeple]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5E3EDAA3258B086E-DeathmatchinTinyIsland

tab of scenarios missing

[vestal berry]

it should be "Missions" folder

not "Mission"

notice missing s at the end of the word Mission

[west steeple]

okei, thanks

now this mod works, thank you very much @vestal berry

[vagrant oasis]

Hello K. Well I don't think I will be able to do what I want. I am using DeadZone DayZ as the base mod. They allowed anyone to download from their git hub, but the files are locked; so, doesn't look like I will be able to change the player loadouts 😦

[wild trellis]

As long as their license allows it, you can. Just create a new mod with that mod as a dependency.

[vagrant oasis]

BING!! Awesome answer/solution. Thank you. Is it possible to duplicate the existing one as a "new" mod?

That way I don't have to recreate the whole thing

All I am trying to do is modify the loadout when a player spawns

[lean scroll]

@zealous nova what game mode entity are you using?

[fleet harness]

Hello everyone, I came from Arma 3 to Reforger and I'm still learning to edit. I would like to know which modules would be mandatory to put in the edition so that I can load it in the workshop and later play in MP with mods.

I would like to make campaign type games

I managed to make a mission and host it, but only with some mods like AI, but when I host with mods like 75th, people can't access it, error appears

can anybody help me?

[zealous nova]

It's Conflict game mode

[lean scroll]

@fleet harness For ScenarioFramework Mode which you could easily make a campaign with. These are the base managers/modules I put in my missions.

1. SCR_AIWorld.et
2. FactionManager_editor.et
3. LoadoutManager_Base.et
4. GameModeSF w/ added components
5. HitRegManager.et
6. PerceptionManager.et
7. RadioManager.et
8. ScriptedChatEntity.et
9. TaskManager.et

As for the problem with using mods and not being able to join I do know that if you place a ArsenalBox_US.et in the world with SF mode, and have certain mods loaded, the server will give a JIP error, and kick you. The work around I found for that issue is use the slot.et, and spawn the arsenal box.
Put the absolute bare minimum mods in the actual mission, and load mods from the server.

@zealous nova That is an odd issue for sure. I don't know a lot about campaign mode and all the component interaction. So I don't have any troubleshooting time with it. When it happens I would deep dive into the console log. Maybe turn off all the unnecessary entities and use a process of systematic troubleshooting. It has to be related to a few components, like gamemode, spawning etc. Try to make it repeatable. It's random so that is harder to find root cause.

Unless someone here says "Yea I see that all the time, it's this..." .

[zealous nova]

My Logs:

sometimes it's ok, sometimes no, but the logs are the same each times

[nova onyx]

I've seen this one in the past caused by an addon which haven't updated methods regarding the spawn points. There was a huge RespawnRefactor which is not backwards compatible with all the addons. If you open the Script Editor and recompile, it should take you to the file which has this kind of issue that would help you to isolate the problematic addon.

[zealous nova]

Ok I think I must try to restart from scratch without mods

[zealous nova]

Ok pb solved. On my previous project, I load empty eden map and create sub-scene, after I copy/paste objects on Eden map to my sub-scene. If I try with a direct sub-scene of normal eden map, it’s ok. I think the effects / parameters on empty eden map must broke something

[fleet harness]

Thank you very much!!! I'll test it and I'll come back here... I usually save the mission in the workshop and then play there, does anything change?

[dreamy night]

What are the diffrence between: Scr_AIWorld /Scr_AIWorld_Arland / Scr_AIWorld_Eden

[digital creek]

_Arland /_Eden are just configured to use the navmeshes from these terrains. You'd use those if you want to make a subworld of Arland/Everon, otherwise just stick with the base version.

[lean scroll]

@fleet harness IDK if it changes anything about your mission. But there is differences between local host and dedicated server. And what works in local host sometimes does not work in dedicated server. And most of the time it is mod related. I usually will run my scenario in SP mode, no mods, create a local host server and load mods from there, and then move it to my dedicated server for final test, because users of the mission could play it in anyone of those methods.

[zealous nova]

Any tool for adding marker and lines on map ?

[lean scroll]

@zealous nova Do you mean in the work bench? Or a mod?

[zealous nova]

Yep on workbench

[wild trellis]

The map markers they added are from the lab6 guys

[zealous nova]

Woops no, my bad, I 'm looking for this tool on Enfuzion. I need to draw lines on map

[fleet harness]

Hello again, I have a problem where two tasks I did only appear locally and not when I load dedicated. Would anyone know how to fix this? I copied all the modules from the ready-made templates

[lean scroll]

@fleet harness Couple of things off the top of head... SCR_GameModeCombatOpsManager? or SCR_GameModeSFManager? in the GameMode entity.

TaskManager?

What are the task types?

What does your manager setup look like?

[fleet harness]

I can't send screenshot here 😦

but "taskmanager" has the same files... and i use gamemode_gamemaster, factionmanager_editor, loadoutmanager_editor

[nova onyx]

Make sure to Add Component called SCR_GameModeCombatOpsManager to the gamemode_gamemaster.

How do I make the option to save the loadout appear in arsenalbox_us?

I'm using gamemodeSF

[nova onyx]

If you want to add the action to save the loadout, you can do so by adding action to the ActionManagerComponent of certain prefab instance/prefab itself. Take a look for example on AmmoBoxCache_CP.et (https://enfusionengine.com/api/redirect?to=enfusion://ResourceManager/~ArmaReforger:Prefabs/Systems/Arsenal/AmmoBoxes/AmmoBoxCache_CP.et) how it is setup there

[lean scroll]

hmm.... didn't think about that. I do it in the loadout manager and a SCR_PlayerArsenalLoadout.

Many ways to go around the tree to get to the same rabbit hole.

[dapper carbon]

is anybody here can help make capturing point? 😢

Or give link to working tutor

[fleet harness]

I am using these settings. Apparently everything is working... Except that in "arsenalbox_us" the option to save the loadout does not appear

[fleet harness]

Search for "sample" which will have several models for you

[zealous nova]

I don't understand why I have a grenade when I disable Primary weapon ?

[tidal hearth]

there is also a character grenade slot, if you scroll a bit more up in the characters components. Thats where that is set. If he has no weapons configured he will grab grenade i think.

[zealous nova]

oh my god... i'm blind!! 😄

thanks a lot

[lean scroll]

@fleet harness which settings? Please clarify.

[wild trellis]

I see you already have it sorted, I just answered your cross post in another channel 🤣

[zealous nova]

What does it mean?

[cerulean hinge]

something is configured wrongly

basically all this stuff

[zealous nova]

Ok i found the mistake, an entity without prefab...

[cerulean hinge]

nope, not only this

first of all, check if it uses right class

then check all these settings

and btw, you literally have examples few strings above, just look at them

this is how enfusion modding works :)

you look at something from BI and make it work the same

[wild trellis]

yup! I saw that in the screen shot 🙂

[fleet harness]

The modules, in this case... Gamemode, taskmanager etc.

Mine is translated into my language, but I would like this Save Load option to appear

[fleet harness]

I managed to solve the problem with saving the loadout. I added the component "scr_arsenalmanagercomponent"

Hello! Where can i add buildings for custom faction in conflict?

[lean scroll]

For anyone making Kunar Missions and need a reference map.

[lean scroll]

PRO-TIP from a non-professional....
Create one world layer for each manager that you normally edit. This creates a editable .layer file for that manager. You can then edit in VS Code or other code editor. Additionally, you can save the layer files and quickly populate follow on missions.

[quick harbor]

That’s a good tip indeed!

[lean scroll]

just dropping into the world, you should be able to edit the Object Properties

anything more than that, requires you to inherit or duplicate the .et

[lean scroll]

In my world editor, I can't override that prefab, only duplicate or inherit. Then right click, and select "edit prefab" it opens.

Maybe a conflict with another is keeping you from editing. IDK.

[wild trellis]

If you duplicate and don't change the name, I believe that is essentially an override

missing camera manager in your world? this is the line where that happens. So either that or something with player controller.

[violet obsidian]

That was it!

So simple, I thought I had all the right stuff in there.

[tidal hearth]

these are easy to debug. The way you read this is by checking the first line in the stack trace - scripts/Game/Map/SCR_MapEntity.c:243 Function OpenMap this tells you to open the SCR_Mapentity script file and check on line number 243. Maybe useful for the future.

That's how you do it, and sure you can access those.
You just can't access private/protected methods. But that one has neither

[dire wing]

ok then i just need to understand the OOP stuff

[lime stratus]

CinematicEntity myCinematic = CinematicEntity.Cast(GetGame().GetWorld().FindEntityByName("YourCinematicEntityName")) with that you should get your cinematic entity. Then you can call its methods

I'm running into a weird problem. I have made a map. After that map I made a subworld for a mission. I made it a regular GameMaster mission. In the subworld I added the time and weather management. Set all the settings right, but when I start the game it seems like something overides my time and weather settings. It leads to the coulds becoming bright white while the sky is dark in nighttime but the light seeming to be like daytime. Does anyone have a clue as to what to do?

[gritty vortex]

I think you need to change the order your planets are in, in the world entity, so that sun is first

just returning to enfusion after some hiatus

[chilly plume]

Hey all. New to the enfusion editor and missions. Formally did a lot of work on A3 with scripting.

I am having a ton of trouble figuring out where the changes for vehicle spawns in conflict are located. Is it a server based script like A3 was or is it all tied into the mission file?

[gritty vortex]

somewhere in the configs folder inside reforger in workbench

[glacial kindle]

hey. how would i go about making a conflict game on a custom map such as gogland?
and how would i load said map into the editor tools. im sturggling with that.

[violet obsidian]

Okay thanks, I'll have a look. I figured out that the problem doesn't show up when I disable the weather function in the manager for the gamemaster gamemode.

[sullen girder]

Guys i try to find solution for this bug

[dire wing]

so what i am trying to do now is start the cinematic through a trigger, in trigger activation:

override void EOnActivate(IEntity owner)
    {
        CinematicEntity myCinematic = CinematicEntity.Cast(GetGame().GetWorld().FindEntityByName("intro_1"));
        
        if (myCinematic) {
            myCinematic.play(); // edit: Play()! case sens
        }
    }

however console says Undefined function 'CinematicEntity.play'

which to me sounds like the method is not public (or i need to access it differently )

ooooh case sensitive

i think this was my error to begin with

[nova onyx]

Hi. You can either take look at how it is setup for Arland/Everon and copy/paste it or you can use the Game Mode Setup Tool in World Editor Plugins and build it from scratch. Both approaches will work on any world, but I would suggest learning from how it is setup on Arland, copy it to your subscene on your desired world and adjust it to your needs.

[glacial kindle]

well thats the issue. the first step is. i dont know how to open a custom world.
if you have the time would you be ok hopping into a VC and helping me out?

just trying to set up a server for me and some buddys you see.
never used to be this complicated haha

[nova onyx]

Once you download the addon with the world you need to launch workbench with it and then open the world you want to edit.

[glacial kindle]

so i donwloaded gogland. but i do not see the world appearing at all in the editor.
so i open the reforger tools. i did the manual setup as it said to do so in the wiki
I hit world editor. but im not seeing gogland at all

[nova onyx]

You’ve most likely haven’t loaded the Gogland together with the tools. You need to specifically launch it with the addons you want to work with for it to appear for you.

[glacial kindle]

well i dont know how to do that. ive been asking for help on this.

[nova onyx]

Currently I’m on the move, but if you wait like an hour, I will provide you step-by step instructions with pictures how to load it.

But in short, when you launch the tools, there should be a button saying add existing. There you will add the addon (located in your documents folder, where you have folder called my games and inside look for Arma Reforger where there should be folder called addons. There find the Gogland folder and add the gproject.

After that, when you’ve opened the tools, right click on a vanilla Arma Reforger project and there add the Gogland addon via ticking the box, then launch it and it should be working for you.

[glacial kindle]

i can wait. yeah

[lean scroll]

@glacial kindle Did you add Gogland to the project launcher?

[glacial kindle]

again.

i dont know any of this

ive been directly asking how do i do such things. and how do i load custom maps in the editor. as i want to make a gogland conflict map.

[lean scroll]

You must add any mod you plan to use in the project to the launcher

[glacial kindle]

right. ok let me do that

[lean scroll]

Let us know.

[glacial kindle]

so i just go to wherever gogland is downloaded and find its folder right?

[glacial kindle]

on this screen i just hit add existing. right?

[lean scroll]

yes that is correct. "Add Existing" then drive to where the addon is located.

[glacial kindle]

and do i go into the gogland folder or just choose the entire folder?

[lean scroll]

Make sure you add "Arma Reforger" as well. Choose the folder.

[glacial kindle]

already got arma reforger added.

followed the wiki on that.

[lean scroll]

sorry mistake....

you must add the file

[glacial kindle]

the gproj file?

[lean scroll]

yes.

[glacial kindle]

so it should look like this?

[lean scroll]

You want it, you got it, Toyota!

[glacial kindle]

lol what

[lean scroll]

That is a VERY old ad on TV....

[glacial kindle]

right but did i do it correct? haha

[lean scroll]

yes you got it.

[lean scroll]

no...

[glacial kindle]

sacrasm? or are you being serious

[lean scroll]

serious...

[glacial kindle]

right.

[lean scroll]

Are you trying to create a custom scenario using the gogland world?

[glacial kindle]

yeah. i want to make a PVE conflict mode.

[lean scroll]

ok...

You need to "Create New" , and when the window popups to name it, select Gogland addon.

[glacial kindle]

gotcha

[lean scroll]

yep.... what is goglandConflict?

[glacial kindle]

i think it was an earlier attempt of mine to do it myself and it kinda went wonk
so the one i should choose is just "gogland" right?

[lean scroll]

oh ok, yep just gogland.

[glacial kindle]

okay. its loading lol

[lean scroll]

yep.. wait one.

and the main scene is just...grey lol

[lean scroll]

ok, you are on your way.... this is really not the place to do step by step. I'll find you some resources to read.

[glacial kindle]

thanks. but why is it grey?

like theres no map or anything appearing. just grey.

[lean scroll]

that is right. I believe in teaching a man to fish, instead of just giving him the fish.

[glacial kindle]

ok but in order to teach said man to fish. you must first teach how its done. not just give me a stick and a string and say. yeah good enough 🤣

[lean scroll]

so think about what you just said.... "like theres no map or anything appearing. just grey." and what you need to do next.

[glacial kindle]

so id figured id have to go to the file. and load world? but i dont want to break somthing but id figured thats what it may be?

[lean scroll]

Poke around, search. There are plenty of youtube examples on how to setup a scenario. And by all means break things... that is how you learn.

@ornate tree Try this...

If it is a .layer, you can open it in a code editor, and cut and paste out maybe. Or just copy directly into the new world layer.

[ornate tree]

thx try this out here soon

[lean scroll]

Pro-tip from a non-professional...
To create a simple logic switch:

1. Place 2 Layers nested in a Area. Name one "On", the other "Off".
2. Set Area Spawn Children to "RANDOM_ONE".
3. Place all your layers and entities in "On". Leave "Off" empty.

Works great for random population of enemy. 50% chance they spawn or don't.

[iron hemlock]

Hello everyone,
I am having a very hard time starting up a mission (I started with a plain game mode), there are no updated tutorials on how to do it and even the website doesn't help in my case.
Whenever I try to create my mission, I put the basic managers into it and the first issue is with the class/loadout selection when spawning, as some components are not present in the game mode I selected, like the AutomaticRespawnHandlerComponent or the RespawnMenuHandlerComponent (even if I try to add them, they are not in the list). How can I have players select their role?
Also, wanting to have a game master, do I need to create a game master game or plain game (for a coop mission)? In the second case, how does someone become gm? It is also possible to have multiple gms like in arma 3 at the same time?
Thanks

@iron hemlock

GM is accessible from every mode.

You can have loadouts but not roles like A3. AFAIK.

If you are doing Scenario Framework then set up your game mode like this

#enfusion_scenario message

In world editor just look at the samples for SF. Also open the world for combat operations arland and see how BI does it.

You can copy directly from the other scenarios and paste it your mission or into exact position if using same world

[thick kraken]

My friends are getting a "Replication Reason 8 - JIP Error" when trying to join my GM session. Any idea what I'm missing?

Happens in my GM game but not in my Conflict game. Can't see what's different.

[iron hemlock]

I added all the components you suggested and checked the combat ops too, I still cant figure out how to get that nice and cute screen where you select factions and teams 🥲 i guess this comes first and then tasks and briefing lol

[lean scroll]

@iron hemlock for the factions screen that is in the welcome component
Copy the game mode entity from combat ops arland and edit the welcome screen component.

@thick kraken jip error is normally for me a mod that has not been updated and does not work with current version.

[iron hemlock]

worked perfectly!

one more question: how do I increase the max player number?

[lean scroll]

@iron hemlock that is controlled in the mission config file and the server config file

[iron hemlock]

where do i find the mission config file?

[lean scroll]

You create it. Look at one of the YouTube videos by useless fodder. He explains it
Sorry I’m on an iPad right now so I’m limited

[iron hemlock]

Not a prob, mate. I'll check that out 😉

[thick kraken]

Thanks. In this case there was only one mod (my own), no error on Conflict but JIP error on Game Master. Weird!

[maiden pivot]

Just a fair warning for a bug when you want to use the SF's DeliverySlot: https://feedback.bistudio.com/T176067

[nova onyx]

I'll take a look at it .

[nova onyx]

Found the culprit, it was just a boolean wrongly set in the Plugin Trigger. Just set the “Once” attribute to false and it will be working as supposed. It will be fixed in Samples and other places in upcoming updates. Thank you for finding it out 👍🏻.

[thick kraken]

Hi! Is there a way to have a gate be open at the start of a mission?
I have AI occupying a house but they're getting stuck on the gate unless I open it for them.

[tidal hearth]

There should be a door opener entity, and i think it works with range. Maybe try that?

[thick kraken]

Perfect, thanks!

[thick kraken]

Wondering if I can do this without any scripting knowledge:
Trigger that activates when BLUFOR present and OPFOR not present
Bring up a hint message "blah blah point has been secured"
Causes a US Spawn point to become active

[nocturne zealot]

Do you know how to fix the problem? It seems to come from the game update at the beginning of September.
Do you have the same problem on your maps?

[gritty vortex]

do you have a camera entity in your world?

[nocturne zealot]

Hummm, I think I made some modifications to the basic map and didn't necessarily re-modify by adding the entity camera in the GM!
I'll see after work

[gritty vortex]

I think the reason this happens is there IS a camera entity somewhere in which case it may need to get removed

[nocturne zealot]

Yes anyway just put it on GM missions etc and not on the base map? I'm not sure the pc to check on arland_empty and Arland GM

[nocturne zealot]

I've got my scr_camera and a camera base that were hanging around for some reason, now it's fixed.

[keen torrent]

I need some help. I'm making an RHS Conflict mission on Gogland. I have several RHS loadouts in the loadout manager and any time I spawn with them I get this pop-up. Any help on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated! This is my first time building a modded mission in Reforger.

[lean scroll]

I think at some point conflict and SF should be their own channels. Clearly enough difference and uniqueness between the 2 modes exist. Maybe a sub channel. Or as above reforger gm and conflict

[willow breach]

I get this error when my default load out has a backpack in it, the error goes away when I take the backpack off the loadout but not sure how to fix properly

[lean scroll]

@willow breach Search resources for blacklist. Then override the file to your mission and uncheck blacklist radio backpack.

I am overseas right now but will return tomorrow so can’t test the exact set up

@keen torrent I think there is an entity you can add to the world called radiospawn.

I’m not a conflict guy so not sure but hey delete anything that doesn’t work. No harm no foul.

[willow breach]

In my scenario its even the basic alice backpack that wont allow to spawn on default loadout, I may have misconfigured something but I havent don’t anything with radio backpacks

[lean scroll]

Add backpack to character entity?

[willow breach]

To the load out manager

[lean scroll]

@willow breach The way I do it is create a duplicate of say the us rifleman. Then edit the duplicate and equip him as you like. Then use the duplicate character in the load out.

[willow breach]

Thats what I did and it worked until I added a backpack to the loadout and tried to add items inside the backpack but only got that error when I tried spawning in with my custom loadout.

It will sort if work but all the item icons will be messed up and some items just look off

[lean scroll]

@willow breach ok. Wish I was in front of my pc. But not sure you can put items in the backpack. You can add the backpack to character. But how you slot items to it idk atm.

[willow breach]

Its all good im at work anyways or I would be able to send better details

[gloomy thistle]

Creating a coop mission. All my arsenal boxes and gun racks are spawning empty. Do I have to add specific gear to them?

[lean scroll]

@gloomy thistle no shouldn’t have to. They should spawn in with default gear.

[thin swan]

Has anyone been experimenting or even found a way to randomize mission start time, maybe weather as well? What comes to weather it would be great already to be able to randomize between the different preset states (Clear, Cloudy, Overcast, Rainy).

[gloomy thistle]

Thx I figured it out. Had the assigned faction wrong

[nova onyx]

Hi. It is possible by adding SCR_TimeAndWeatherHandlerComponent to your GameMode and setting it up. This is how it is set up for CombatOps on Arland:

[gloomy thistle]

how do i enable the option to save loadouts at arsenal boxes?

[gloomy thistle]

all the arsenal boxes in my mission dont give save loadout option

[gloomy thistle]

Anyone have any ideas. Would really appreciate it

[lean scroll]

@gloomy thistle which loadout manager and gamemode entity are you using?

[gloomy thistle]

gamemode_plain

[gloomy thistle]

loadoutmanager_USxUSSR

[lean scroll]

@gloomy thistle and gamemode entity?

[gloomy thistle]

Gamemode_plain

the arsenals work just there is no save loadout option

[lean scroll]

@gloomy thistle First I would switch loadout manager to "LoadoutManager_Base.et", and setup like this...

[gloomy thistle]

Ok I will do that

[lean scroll]

@modest ember Here is mine I use in every mission...

[gloomy thistle]

Nice, I’ll let you know in a min if that fixes it. Also Thank you for replying

ok have that done

Still no save option

[lean scroll]

@gloomy thistle ok. Check this out ... and see if it applies. I've never seen it not have it.

#enfusion_scenario message

@gloomy thistle The last item that I know to check is in the game mode itself. I make scenario framework missions, so I don't know if it applies to conflict.

If none of these work, you can try and copy directly out of the "CTI" or "Combat Ops" scenarios in ArmaReforger/Worlds/MP

[gloomy thistle]

that was it

!!!

asrenal manager and serializerinventorystoragemanager componets were not in my gamemode

added them and now i can save loadouts

Thanks so much 🙏

[thin swan]

A solution out-of-the-box, what a brilliant thing. I put it to test and it worked well. Thank you Yethe 😊

Anyone else been lately using Oriented Bounding Box as trigger's shape type? To me it seems that it does not work. In other words: I create a trigger as sphere type with which to end a mission and it works as I'm expecting it to. But if I change the type to Oriented Bounding Box the mission isn't ending anymore even if the conditions (to end the mission) are met the same as it would be when using sphere type.
Also, can a polyline already be used as a trigger type? As of now it is possible to select polyline as Trigger Shape Type but there does not seem to be a way to "tell" the trigger what polyline to use..

This was discussed up here. Not sure the results.

[vagrant oasis]

In my Reforger DayZ Mod server, I would like to create missions that automatically start as a fun thing to do that awards the victor. If you played old ARAM II DayZ mod, you might remember those Loot Missions. I would love to recreate this, but have no clue if it can be done, and if so, how to start. Anyone care to help?

These would be AI that protect a camp for example. You would need to clear the AI out in order to get to the loot

@vagrant oasis Use the Scenario Framework, create a LayerClearArea Task. Look at the Scenario Framework Examples in the Workbench for details of how it works.

[final anvil]

Trying to get some modded heavy vehicles into conflict. Seems to be a problem with the spawn being blocked? Anyone have a solution 🙂 ? https://i.imgur.com/g90xDkC.jpeg

[wild trellis]

Do you have the right rank?

[lean scroll]

Can you use the "Depot's" in a SF Game Mode? I would like to use them to spawn vehicles and Aircraft.

[final anvil]

yeah, I had the rank of Lieutenant @wild trellis it just seems the vehicle is either too big or there is some variable preventing it from spawning.

[final anvil]

For anyone else, please make sure you check your entity lists and spawn data to set the 'size' of vehicle. We do not currently have a 'large' vehicle depot, so I had to se these to medium and small to spawn in. https://i.imgur.com/XQH1YoH.jpeg

[nova onyx]

Hi. We’ve released extensive ScenarioFramework User Documentation on BIKI. You can check it out here:

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Scenario_Framework

[west steeple]

thanks 🙂

[lean scroll]

@final anvil FYI... There is a large vehicle depot, called EntitySpawnerSlot_Vehicle_Large. It is part of the helipad composition. I know it is in experimental version. I haven't checked released version. You could swap out in the composition for large vehicles.

I am trying to restrict a vehicle by rank. I've overrode my US_Vehicle.conf and set the UH1H to Captain. I've set all my characters to sergeant or less, except for the pilot character. Pilot is Captain. But it seems it doesn't matter what rank you are, you can still spawn a helo in the depot.

[iron hemlock]

Hi everyone, I made a mission to publish on my own server. So following some videos I tried to publish the mission as "Test", is this the correct way to export the mission without publishing it to the workbench? Also, doing that, I cannot ifnd the bundled file.
Thanks

[lean scroll]

@iron hemlock Depends on what visibility you want. Publish as public for finished product. Test for products under test, and will be filtered out. Unlisted and your project should be visible only to you.

To make it a bundle you have to publish it.

[iron hemlock]

If I do it as "unlisted" can I load it onto a server anyway using the ID after I download it on my PC?

[lean scroll]

@iron hemlock Yes.

[thin swan]

Thanks. I wanted to come back to this already earlier but life..
I did go through this channel with search and had found that particular discussion. Since it had happened already a tad earlier and gone unanswered I wanted to give it another try 🙂

[thin swan]

Has anyone been doing isolated testing of sharpshooter characters in Reforger?

I've been testing with one (Character_FIA_Sharpshooter that has the SVD with PSO scope) and it seems that the character does not want to engage beyond 100 meters. I've modded the character to have EXPERT (also tested with CYLON) AI skill, changed perception settings to something 'supernatural', given the AI group skill of 1.0 (default is 0.5), disabled aiming error for the AI group, increased Danger event range to 1000 meters for the AI group and still, when the range is over 100 meters only thing the character does is aim down the sights at me but never fires. Mind you, the character does begin to shoot when the range is less than 100 meters.

After testing "extensively" I began to think that ok, maybe the sharpshooter character's traits(??) are quite not finished/refined in terms of skill, accuracy and all that so I figured if I do a test by giving a rifleman character (Character_FIA_Rifleman) the SVD to see how it goes. So I did just that and the rifleman now with the SVD began acting exactly the same way as the actual sharpshooter character. It almost seems that the issue would somehow be with the SVD. Sort of: slap one on any AI controlled character and feels like they don't know how to use it after certain range?

[thin swan]

The basis for all of the above is that I'd like to have a AI sharpshooter in mission which would provide support fire/keep players sort of pinned down. I had placed one about 270 meters away from the players but the bugger just won't shoot with its SVD so there's that. After noticing that I began doing isolated testing with the character to see if I could affect it somehow.

[wild trellis]

I know they can see further with binoculars, maybe you can force them to use those?

[unkempt dew]

Did they accidentally remove the intel papers from the officers for combat ops? Can't for the life of me get this objective to work and checking their inventory in the prefab shows they don't even spawn it on them.

and if its done via something on the combat ops gamemode side i dont see it. ive gotten everything else to work otherwise

[thin swan]

I gave the character binoculars (since it doesn't have one by default) in the hopes that it would help the situation one way or another. But don't really know how to force the character to use them 🤔
But that I can say that even with the binoculars available to the character it just keeps targeting me endlessly with the SVD when distance is over 100m

[gritty vortex]

I think snipers are not able to use their rifles

and the US sniper fires the gun more often than the russian one

[sand wadi]

Trying to make a mission on a custom map, I placed down all the required items (youtube video) but no bases appear, AI appear fine 🙂

[keen phoenix]

Hey guys, just wanting to share a fix for JIP_error that I couldn't resolve and thanks to those on here I realised it was because I had several modules with the RplComponent said to use "Runtime", turning it from runtime to off fixed it.

[unkempt dew]

I'm assuming it still uses the ON_INIT for the activation type?

[frozen ridge]

Can someone help me with what I need for essentials to make a dayz environment server please? no factions just players that spawn in etc. having trouble with the guides on YT as they all want to achieve a different goal

[lean scroll]

@frozen ridge You have to have a minimum amount of managers to spawn in the world. I found that you need to have at least the 5 listed below. I've never tried using PlayerSpawnPoint.et so IDK if it works.

FactionManager
LoadoutManager
GameMode
SCR_AIWorld
PlayerSpawnPoint.et

Play around with it. You could use US SpawnPoint, and make the default loadout unarmed.

[frozen ridge]

@fubar2112 yeah in starting to play around with it. I want all the bird ambience and ai perception too. Will see what happens

[lean scroll]

perceptionmanager.et, and the bird stuff is managed by the AIWorld

[frozen ridge]

Alright thanks for getting back to me. I've been spending the last day in the enfusion workbench trying to figure it out. Is there a way of finding where they store the scenarios locally? I would like to see what PLXABLE and OrignZ has used for their base

[lean scroll]

@frozen ridge Mods are normally downloaded to "D:\Libraries\Documents\My Games\ArmaReforger\addons".

[frozen ridge]

What about the scenarios though?

Like the mission files

[lean scroll]

To look inside the mod, add the mod to workbench at the Project window.

Then open it.

[frozen ridge]

when I put down my aiworld it says I've already got one and an error when I place it.

[lean scroll]

hmmmm 2 sub scenes worlds? Never done or seen that.

[frozen ridge]

when I try adding the mods as project I get this as well.

@lean scroll thanks for looking out though i appreciate it

ENGINE    (E): Addon 'PLXYABLE' dependency '5D640B5E84F6D1BF' can't be added```

[lean scroll]

I would start over, and create a new sub scene from eden.ent. If I remember correctly, empty eden is just that nothing there. Why would you want both?

Did you add the mod to the project launcher window? That is a requirement to add on a dependency

[frozen ridge]

I thought sub classes were a good way to manage stuff. Is it bad to do so? Like I start with a sub class anyway, so that I dont accidently change strucure or environment assets by misclicking

[frozen ridge]

Tried a few..

[lean scroll]

Yes, you must create a sub-scene, but only create 1. Use eden.ent if you want a world with buildings, roads, trees etc.

@frozen ridge So where is your scenario in that list above? They are all locked which means they weren't created by you.

[frozen ridge]

Yeah I deleted it after your input. What I should of done was create layers to keep things tidy.. not new worlds haha 😄 I get your point now.

working on a fresh now

[lean scroll]

ahhhh ok. cool.

Looks much better.

[frozen ridge]

Can't get the mods/scenarios from the popular dayz servers open though. So it's kind of a guessing game

[lean scroll]

Well couple things...

[frozen ridge]

this is what I should of done, made layers. I'm an idiot

[lean scroll]

First it is BKM not to add mods directly to your mission. It causes headaches if the mod gets updated.

Best to keep your mission clean, and add mods via the server.

BUT sometimes it can't be helped.

[frozen ridge]

This is the error I get when adding aiworld 🤷‍♂️

I even made a fresh project to make sure no aiworld was present

[lean scroll]

YEP!

Hit tab 3 times, and enter

clear the window and AIWorld is present.

[frozen ridge]

Like this?

[lean scroll]

yep, but why don't you use the AIWorld for Eden?

[frozen ridge]

haven't finished adding managers obviously I'm just talking about the aiworld

the tutorial I watched used the base thats all

when I tab off aiworld, then back the window is back to entity instancew

[lean scroll]

oh ok. look at the dates on those tuts. If they are from say may/june/july 2022 alot has changed since then.

But they are useful for some stuff.

Use the wiki's.

[frozen ridge]

why does the entity window change back?

[lean scroll]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Category:Arma_Reforger/Modding

not sure what you mean there....

[frozen ridge]

you said tab 3 times and change to aiworld in the window, I did that but when I clicked off aiworld and back on it said entity window. I dunno I might just bw overlooking something

[lean scroll]

oh haha. That was for that exception message!

lol

I can never see the buttons below, so I hit tab 3x, and enter.

[frozen ridge]

so to get that message is fine? i don't have a hiden aiworld somewhere?

[lean scroll]

yea you are ok.

[frozen ridge]

Sorry to be a pain but any idea why my AI group won't fire on me?

[lean scroll]

perception manager missing.

[frozen ridge]

Look at screenshot above. It's added, isn't it?

[lean scroll]

yea I see that now.

[frozen ridge]

do I need any other check box ticked on perceptionmanager other than perceptiopn

[lean scroll]

I never do... but in regards to FFA game mode, there may be some settings for the faction manager. IDK though as I don't work in it. But what you can do to load a mod that is FFA based, and look at their settings.

[frozen ridge]

As stated earlier, I'm having issues with mods opening in the workbench correctly.

[lean scroll]

you should be able to open them outside of your scenario.

[frozen ridge]

is there a way to open two projects so I can compare?

[lean scroll]

wait one a sec.

have you tried opening the mod with your scenario by right clicking on your mod, then select "Open with addons"

[frozen ridge]

God this is frustrating lol trying to figure out when FFA isn't being fired upon on USSR. I want patrols and shit so need to figure it out

[lean scroll]

yep I get it. I've have all the same issues. Just keep plugging away.

If you can add the mod as above, then you can see how they did it. It's only temporary and doesn't add the mod to your scenario.

[frozen ridge]

I figured it out, I didn't technically add more than one faction on factionmanager, only FFA. I added SCR_fACTION and used faction key USSR and that seems to fix it. Now to clean it up a bit

Just filled in all the USSR stuff like flags etc. Now there's FFA and USSR. As long as I can start to set up patrols and soldiers at military spots I'll be happy for time being. Next challenge is to figure out how to add mods and make them work with my scenario, like hunger thirst and health like the handful of dayz servers that are up

[sand wadi]

Is it possible to copy a conflict mission over to a custom map

[lean scroll]

@sand wadi yes. I did it with Combat Ops Arland to Everon.

[frozen ridge]

Alright I've made good progress and starting placing loot spawners, I've noticed though after 10-15 seconds my audio goes all robotic and echoes. Any idea whats causing in?

[unkempt dew]

Are you also properly adding the mods and their dependencies?

You cant just add the mod, you have to add that mods dependent mods as well or else it'll error and nothing will load

[frozen ridge]

Okay I've published my workshop mod and all works fine but when I try to update it it says I'm trying to save read only files and to make sure I'm in the right workspace. What am I missing?

[lean scroll]

@frozen ridge Screen shot it please.

[frozen ridge]

Will do, rebuilding the mod currently.

[frozen ridge]

If my AI are placed in top of tower and won't traverse down the stairs, just stuck running in a corner. Does this mean my navmesh isn't set properly? @lean scroll

 PATHFINDING   : Navmesh Init 'Soldiers'
  PATHFINDING(W): No navmesh file specified! Will initialize empty navmesh world.```
Yeah I think I forgot to set the navmesh correctly 🙂

[frozen ridge]

Alright so making some good progress.. 💯
Next two things to tackle is the ZT Loot Spawn mod (anyone know of a quicker way than having to popular each building with manual loot spawn?) then try and get some survival aspects working (Like hunger, thirst and stamina)

If there's anyone looking for to get involved with a survival aspected server with PVP and PVE interactions and wanna join me in getting this project onto a swinging start, just send me a direct message. 👍 😏

[frozen ridge]

Also, is there a way to add dependencies to a current project? Instead of having to restart the whole project and select the dependency at the start? 🤔

[digital creek]

Yes, you can either the mod ID to in the Project Settings.

Toolbar: Workbench => Options => Game Project Tab

[frozen ridge]

Thank you very much!

[digital creek]

I'm not familiar with how that mod in particular spawns loot, but things like that should be pretty straightforward to do.

The way I would do loot spawns is to override all the house etc. prefabs. Beyond that, I don't really see how it could get any easier.

[frozen ridge]

That's above me.. the only way I've figured it out so far is having to go into each house and add them individually.

[digital creek]

That sounds very tedious. Basically, my advice would be to go to all the house prefabs, hit override, open these up and place the loot spawners in there. You'll only have to do this once for every house type.

You could even consider e. g. only overriding something like tables.

[frozen ridge]

😮 I need to figure that out! That would be so much easier.

You got any experience with the metabolism or enfusion framework/DB intergrations?

[digital creek]

The only downside would be that overrides cannot be disabled based on the current world, they are global as long as the mod is active.
But it's not an issue for servers, and you could even implement a simple check before spawning, to see if it's really a world/scenario you want to spawn stuff in.

[frozen ridge]

It'll take me a bit to wrap my head around the override thing but I think I'm gonna try it

[digital creek]

Basically to ensure that loot doesn't randomly spawn in peoples GMs because they forgot to disable the mod.

[frozen ridge]

Luckily, I was only a few towns in with manually adding the spawns lol

[digital creek]

And I would advise you to do your own loot spawn system anyway. No point in relying on dependencies for something so simple, you can adapt it to your needs etc.

[gritty vortex]

when I did loot spawning I would designate some known furniture types and do a physics trace to the center of it to get height and spawn an item there

worked great for tables, desks and beds

[digital creek]

That's even less manual work.

[frozen ridge]

Very helpful info thank you. Anyone got experience with the effusion database framework mod and how to implement it?

[gritty vortex]

it was dope

but I kinda got bored of it, plus there's furniture in the game that has items on top of it and it can get a bit messy

[thin swan]

I'm trying to create a defend task using Scenario Framework but the task is not getting created: Workbench is outputting SCRIPT (E): ScenarioFramework: Task subject not found! as error. To what (missing thing or issue) is that pointing to?
For some background I was able to create a defend mission task once by following what had been done in the "Defend area" sample task. But after that first time every subsequent try has started to 'fail'. I've been going back and forth between the sample mission and my first one that worked, looking for what I might have missed but so far I haven't been able to figure that from where this "Task subject" is missing from. Anyone has had the same issue and would know how to fix?

[nova onyx]

ScenarioFramework: Task Defend subject not found.

[dreamy night]

Is there a way to get "E_EditorRestrictionZoneBase" to work, so a certain faction cant enter the designated area? As far as I can see, its not faction oriented, or am I doing something wrong?

[thin swan]

Is there some way to have a custom mission ending when using Scenario Framework? Maybe via scripting so something like

class TestTrigger_Class: SCR_FactionControlTriggerEntity 
{
  override void OnActivate(IEntity ent)
  {
    SCR_BaseGameMode gameMode = SCR_BaseGameMode.Cast(GetGame().GetGameMode());
gameMode.EndGameMode(SCR_GameModeEndData.CreateSimple(EGameOverTypes.EDITOR_FACTION_VICTORY, -1, 1));
  }
};``` could be used.
If scripting is not possible is there some place where to 'correctly' declare faction so that the ending screens would be correct for what ever the winning faction is at any given time?

For background: I have a Clear Area type mission for FIA (vs USSR) built with Scenario Framework. When FIA clears a specified area it's a win for FIA and the mission ends. There just seems to be an issue that using the built-in game over types give ending screens with **US Army has won** eh..

[tidal hearth]

You can do it with a scenario frame work action. Basically what you are doing but instead inherit from SCR_ScenarioFrameworkActionBase and your action will show up here.

class SCR_ScenarioFrameworkActionEndMission

there is one there already

[thin swan]

I'm unable to completely follow through: where should I be doing this inheriting from SCR_ScenarioFrameworkActionBase? Also I'm unsure what the picture you posted specifically wants to show.
Also, you mention "class SCR_ScenarioFrameworkActionEndMission there is one there already". What does it mean that "there is (one already)". I mean: where (there)?
I've already tried using SCR_ScenarioFrameworkActionEndMission from within SCR_ScenarioFrameworkLayerTaskClearArea but the problem with that one is that the default game over types (in SCR_ScenarioFrameworkActionEndMission) can't be customised in any way.

[nova onyx]

There is a SCR_GameOverScreenManagerComponent on the GameMode where you can customize different endings that you can then select for the ScenarioFramework action

[acoustic field]

is it possible to modify the Arland Conflict mission?

[sacred path]

Hello, can anyone tell me how to set my world as the kunar province when trying to make missions in world editor? Thank you!

[lean scroll]

@acoustic field Yes... Just create a new scenario with the world you want to use. Then in the world editor, open the world containing the scenario you want to modify. Select all entities of the layer, ctrl-C to copy. Then reopen your world, and ctrl-V. If you select from the menu bar you can paste in original position if the world is the same you copied from.
I do this all the time with Combat Ops Arland.

@sacred path Depends on what type of scenario you are trying to create. Start here with general Game Mode setup.
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Category:Arma_Reforger/Modding/Tutorials/Scenario

I'm unable to completely follow through

[sacred path]

@lean scroll Thanks! I'll take a look here shortly. Do you mind if I DM you if I have any more questions?

[lean scroll]

@sacred path NP, FYI... I only work in Scenario Framework, don't do any conflict modes, but might be able to help.

[sacred path]

@lean scroll Is it possible to make a mission in the game master mode?

[acoustic field]

Copy thanks mate, I should of posted I figured it out lol

Doing exactly that

[lean scroll]

@sacred path FYI there is no "Missions" only "Scenarios". Terminology has changed from Arma III.

And "Game Master" is a scenario unto it's self.

If I remember correctly, KIOK made a GM scenario already for Kunar. So it would be a matter of setting up a server with the scenario ID for the server.json file.

Sorry don't know a lot about GM. I don't use it, unless it's an emergency, like flip vehicle.
In experimental, you can save after placing objects but I don't know all the ins and outs of turning that into a custom scenario. I believe BI is listening to players looking for an ARMA III mission editor and are going to try to meet that request.

3D Reforger editor 😉

[thin swan]

Thank you for pointing into that direction Yethe.
Currently I have set the Overridden game over type to EDITOR_FACTION_VICTORY (in OnTaskFinished of LayerTaskClearArea). With that done I went to change the parameters of EDITOR_FACTION_VICTORY in SCR_GameOverScreenManagerComponent and then proceeded to test in-game. Even after changing the parameters of said game over type the ending still is the default US Army has won. Seems like changing the parameters of a game over type in SCR_GameOverScreenManagerComponent doesn't have any effect(?)

[thin swan]

Scratch that. Modifying parameters in SCR_GameOverScreenManagerComponent works, it's just that I actually was inadvertantly modifying the wrong game over type. As I typed above I had set the Overridden game over type to EDITOR_FACTION_VICTORY for a trigger that gets fired when FIA completes a clear area task. Now, with "everything" in their defaults FIA is actually getting a Defeated screen. But here I was all the time thinking that of course it should be victory screen since that's what I had set..
So, I went to change the parameters of EDITOR_FACTION_DEFEAT game over type and finally the changes I make to the parameters are starting to appear in the mission end screen.

Has anyone figured out how to make a destroy task only complete after multiple objects are destroyed? For example.... 1 truck AND 1 helicopter. Task completes after both vehicles are destroyed.

[nova onyx]

Has anyone figured out how to make a

[maiden pivot]

Did anyone figure out how to make AI properly occupy turrets at checkpoints? Currently I have a script that queries for turrets and then uses the SpawnDefaultOccupants method. This seems to work fine, but as soon as they hear shots from enemy, they jump out and run towards the enemy rather than stay and use the turret.

Funny enough when I use the same approach for the BTR, they seem to stay in the turret, but they are really shitty at using it.

[acoustic field]

for my mission, how do I change ranks for vics and buildings?

[maiden pivot]

For vehicles, it is specified in the faction manager. Each faction has an entry called "Entity Catalogs".

[acoustic field]

copy, found that for sure. Anyway to change buildings for what ranks get what

For fortifications like sandbags it's in the SCR_EditableEntityComponent attached to its prefab. For service points I'm not sure.

[thin swan]

Is there a way to prevent players from being able to select spawn point? I'm looking for something like: player selects in the Deployment Setup screen the faction and slot they want to play in. After hitting Continue the player is directly spawned in (thus skipping the spawn point selection screen which usually comes after the 'slotting').

Can the amount of spawns (/respawns) be modified somehow/somewhere? For example being able to set it so that the player can spawn only once during a mission and when killed won't be able respawn. Sorts of a single-life mission.

Can the ability to use/access Game Master be disabled somehow?

[thin swan]

Is there a way to create groups with restricted number of roles (eg. 1 SL, 3 rifleman, 1 AT, 1 medic) instead of the current "slotting and free-for-anyone loadouts" method?
Additionally came to think of it: is it (even) possible to create a group that has some other slot count than 8? If yes, then how/from where?

[maiden pivot]

Just a heads up that entity initialization order can really mess with certain features. I had, for instance, an arsenal box that was in a layer that was above the game mode entities layer and the saving interaction was no longer available as a consequence.

[lean scroll]

@maiden pivot Are you talking about the order of the world layers?

[maiden pivot]

exactly

[lean scroll]

Hmmmm didn't know there was an order like Arma 3. Kind of forgot about it.

Good to know.

[twin patio]

I might be having a similar issue lately. I've got some arsenals (equipment, weapon, etc) out that work just fine as vanilla crates that dispense items, but I am not getting the option in-game to save loadout. I made sure to use the appropriate faction's arsenal prefab, filled in the prefab attribute (is that the correct name, for the editible variables in the right-hand window when an entity is selected in world editor?) with the correct faction name, added an arsenal save in loadout manager, and even tried selecting the option on the arsenal entity attribute for getting faction from parent. The layer that the arsenals are in is well below the gamemode layer in my heirarchy. I made sure to name the gamemode heirarchy "_GameMode" to ensure that it stays at the top of the heirarchy. This is the first time I've played around with arsenals, and haven't had one working with save loadout yet, so there's a good chance I'm not doing this correctly or I'm missing a component. Is there an example of a plain old vanilla arsenal that I can look at? Searching discord didn't come up with anything on the basic level, just stuff where people are basically creating their own.

[twin patio]

Find any leads on your Deployment Setup goal? I've been trying to figure out this exact same situation this past week and just running into dead ends. I very specifically do not want the player to know where they're spawning into, but I do want to give them the opportunity to select which faction and what squad. I'm giving each faction only one faction spawnpoint, which changes after completion of each "checkpoint." The spawning mechanic works exactly as I have intended, but this deployment screen is that last bit of the puzzle I'm trying to figure out.

[thin swan]

Nothing yet, though I only just now got online after I posted the question yesterday.
You hit the nail right on the head. That's what I'd like to be able to achieve as well but haven't got the slightest idea where to even start looking for something like that. Who knows, might even be that there isn't anything readily available and would require creating the logic from ground up.

Hi. I am new to Arma Reforger mission making and stuck when i am trying to spawn slot.et, slotAI etc via assets menu in SCR.Scenarioframework. I built layers from Area, Layer to slot but in Game no assets will spawn. Spawn Children is on All. Am i missing out on something?

[nova onyx]

Hi. I see you have GameMode_Plain which might lack some components (Mainly GameModeCombatOpsManager) and that could cause these issues. If you are new to it, you could take a look at the ScenarioFramework setup tutorial if you haven't already:
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Scenario_Framework_Setup_Tutorial

And for more details, we also have user documentation:

Hey! sorry to bug! I have a issue just making a small Arland Conflict map and I have defined two Main Operating Bases; I have filled them with supplies but I can't seem to spawn even when testing the game from Tools.

I have placed these managers, and I also have defined my points properly from the video

but when I spawn: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1154165191647445062/1169735633103749250/image.png?ex=65567c33&is=65440733&hm=e090f63d64a656390cf4a278dd2d8af7ec89b6b43bd3e19c8fb811c202ecfbb2&

I set the supplies to 3000; I have set both US and USSR spawns as non-capturable points but still can't seem to get a spawn. Not sure if I am doing something wrong but I appreciate any input!

[idle stone]

hello all, im looking to add certain mods to my scenario/mission using the world editor how do i do this?

[digital creek]

You add them as dependencies.
Either you select the mods when creating the project, or you go into the Project Settings (Workbench Toolbar => Options) and enter the mods ID.

Obviously, you only have to add them if you need to directly reference them, like e. g. placing a mod vehicle in your scenarios world.

[unkempt dew]

And make sure if the mod you want has dependencies, you add those as well

[lean scroll]

@idle stone IMHO ... I would create a package of mods you want to use, and keep it separate from the mission. For example, I use RHS, Vergy's Uniform, AussieMercs Uniforms, and weapons in a mod I created and then add it to my scenario. I can unplug it from my scenario at any time, and still have a functional scenario.

There is a few reasons you don't want to add mods directly to your scenario. One big issue is if the modder doesn't update their mod after an game update and the mod stops working, then it can break your mission.

[idle stone]

It took me like 2 days to get a basic gamemaster mission with groups and spawns without gamemaster. This editor requires a lot more thought than previous ones

I've saved the gamemode as it's own now so I can just add that into the new scenario it's sorted

Sort of like a template

[idle stone]

Now I've done what I wanted, anyone got any advice on more advanced things, I'd like to make it so an objective appears with enemies, some mechanised and like radio tower/intel and once intel is take or object is destroyed it would trigger another objective

I could just about do it with Arma editor but with this new thing I haven't got a clue where to start

[digital creek]

Here https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Scenario_Framework_Setup_Tutorial

There's also example scenarios in ArmaReforger/worlds/ScenarioFramework/, those are very useful as reference.

[tiny latch]

Anyone crash when they die or leave game master then crash while making missions ?? Any ides why?

[thin swan]

One way to achieve this is via modded SCR_EditorManagerCore.c:
removing (or commenting out) the lines 108 and 109 (editorManager.InitServer(playerID); and Event_OnEditorManagerCreatedServer.Invoke(editorManager); seem to disable the ability to become Game Master basically from anywhere (as in role selection menu, deploy menu and in-game).
Disclaimer: having just found this I haven't done that much testing so can't guarantee that there won't be some unforeseen consequences down the line. But it's possible to get in-game without erroring out soo 🤷🏻‍♂️

[west steeple]

Thanks

[thin swan]

Just to continue on this topic: is it so that EditorManager.et prefab has something to do with Game Master or am I just wrong? If it has then is there some reason that why placing it in the game world and disabling basically every component in it doesn't have any effect on whether Game Master can be used or not? Or is there some particular way or scenario where the prefab can or should only be used?

[lean scroll]

Because it is early release pre-alpha software is my guess. Just keep filing those feedback reports in the tracker, and anytime you get a crash report.

Anyone else having or had issue with local (as in not-downloaded-from-Workshop) scenarios not showing up in the Scenarios list?
I created a mission and a header config for it to be able to test it launching it via the game (instead of Workbench) but the scenario isn't showing up in the Scenarios list.
I'm launching the game with startup parameters ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -addonsDir "C:\Users\username\Documents\My Games\ArmaReforgerWorkbench\addons\Testo" -addons 5ECAC99146BC1D05

Check your formatting. I don’t see quotes in bi examples.

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Startup_Parameters

[thin swan]

True that but did not seem to have effect in this case.
Also to update my previous post: the mod appears in the Workshop -> Mod manager list where it can be enabled or disabled. But even if enabled the scenario does not appear in the Scenarios list.

[thin swan]

Went ahead and published an addon that includes a playable scenario and what do you know: the scenario within the addon does show up in the Scenarios list when the addon is enabled.
Looking at the contents of the published addon it seems that certain additional files are created when publishing (an addon). Might those files have something to do with the fact that a scenario will even be displayed in the Scenarios list 🤔
It very much seems that testing a scenario is possible only via Workbench or actually publishing it but not in-game (before publishing). But I guess it's like it is said in https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Capture_%26_Hold_Setup#In-Game_Test that "Launching Arma Reforger with this newly created mod enabled should allow you to see the and launch the scenario directly:" 😄

Hi everyone. I had made my first mission successfully and after further reading I heard about the scenario framework and I would like to try that. So I started to follow the howto from Bohemia (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Scenario_Framework_Setup_Tutorial) but when running the 1st step of the "Scenario Framework Setup" I do not find the ScenarioFramework.conf. I searched the internet but only found one reddit entry with the same question but without answer. Since some people here are using the Scenario Framework. Maybe you can tell me what I am doing wrong ... Thanks! Space

[nova onyx]

Hi. This is meant for the Experimental version that is why you cannot find mentioned config 😅

[humble turtle]

Thanks" So for the regular version I should follow this "manual" guide: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Scenario_Framework

[nova onyx]

Mostly yes, but that is also done for the experimental version, but it is not that different from the non-experimental version, rather there are many new things. However you can follow the tutorial you've found, but skip the setup via config and add these prerequisites to your world (Which the setup tool does for you) https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Scenario_Framework#Prerequisites

Then you should be good to go 👍🏻

You need to create a mission header config file. Have a look in the Missions folder for examples.

[lean scroll]

Is there a way to make the scr conflict bases, not spawn a tent, but replace with a smaller object?

[tidal hearth]

the tent prefab is set up inside each factions config. Replace the HQ tent prefab and if a base starts with that faction it will spawn that.

that prefab needs to have some of the stuff the HQ has in it so look up the HQ prefab and test it with yours.
will most likely need MilitaryBaseLogic and the building service. If you are modding 1.0 then you will need a supply storage as well most def.

[lean scroll]

Awesome thanks , much easier than how I was going to try and work around

[humble turtle]

Small question: I have setup a barricade with a static MG and set a defend waypoint next to it. Although I have ticked the "Use Turrets" checkbox the assigned group does not use the static MG. Do I need to assign a special role in the Unit Prefab Slot or what am I doing wrong? Anyone has an idea?

Hello I created a coop mission but I can’t figure out how to add the spawn menu. Does anyone know what the module is called and which module to disable to stop automatic respawns?

Also if someone knows how to create an arsenal so ppl can customize their load outs 🙂 thanks for the help

[fleet harness]

Could someone teach me how I can make audio (recorded outside of the game) play when a player enters an area?

[unkempt dew]

You might can check arlands combat ops as the game manager has the respawn menu in it. I assume it should work the same way regardless of gamemode

[unkempt dew]

Again, you should be able to check the combat ops and see how they did it there.

[unkempt dew]

Like how objective sounds play? (Think complete an objective and the little ding sound plays)

[fleet harness]

When players enter an area, a voice audio will start, looking like a bot is talking

[unkempt dew]

So like how the radio voice works when you finish an objective then

[fleet harness]

That's it, but I'm going to place a bot stationary inside the area

[unkempt dew]

I'm not exactly sure the way to set it up but you'd need an .acp (or whatever its called) with the sound in it

[fleet harness]

Can you tell me how I find the trigger in the browser?

[maiden pivot]

AI currently cannot drive. While driving land vehicles is on the road map, piloting isn't, so I'm afraid you will have to come up with an alternative approach.

[lean scroll]

@lean scroll additionally to what @tidal hearth said you can technically just duplicate a prefab prop, add the actionmanager component and make sure it fits those params in order to build. Ive tested it so far seems to be working on my end. granted getting some bug error after I quit the game test.

[sand wadi]

Why do i get the message when making a subscene

" Reason: This is not the only AIWorld that is present ?

[digital creek]

I assume you get this while adding an AI World?
If yes, verify that the parent world doesn't already have one.

[unkempt dew]

Is there a reason that AI dont stay in their defend zones? As in, almost all are set to waypoint defend and i thought they stay in a radius around it, yet the first whiff of a gunshot any in range just start foaming at the mouth and run towards it

those set to follow waypoints are bi-polar, if they hear the gunshot they ignore it, but if they can visibly see you/see the shot they react

its kinda annoying to try and do an objective close by to another town and when you shoot, every ai in the surrounding continent seem to just b-line it for you

are they tied to the observation post things? Where if I dont have them, the ai just kinda says "nah, i dont feel like it"?

Just realised i probably shoulda put this in #enfusion_ai

i really dont want to have to go back to all like 18 objective areas but if i have to i will

[unkempt dew]

seems like i need to have SCR_AISmartActionSentinelComponent on each of my patrol waypoints as their own points in each objective area

Although this still doesn't seem like it'll prevent AI from just running towards gunshots but heyho imma just experiment

[lean scroll]

@unkempt dew I just spent all day doing the exact samething. I end up with this....

These are for individual characters. If you use groups then you have to select out of the chimera groups selection.

Each defend waypoint has a radius.
I set one up for interior building with 5 meters.
This keeps the AI in place, and they will detect and shoot at you.

[unkempt dew]

yeah, i see they seem to just blip onto an available location

[lean scroll]

I have a problem with the welcome screen...
The first page loads, but the second page that shows all the groups does not, and it skips right to the spawn point map. Can't figure out for the life of me how to get the groups page to show.

[unkempt dew]

the faction selection one?

[lean scroll]

Page 1

Press continue...and it goes here.

there is a 2nd page that shows all the groups.

[unkempt dew]

i dont see anything in my gamemode manager that points to that screen

imma keep looking

[lean scroll]

TY... me either.

I can get it if I use campaign gamemode.

So need to look at the difference between the 2.

[unkempt dew]

are those custom squads?

or did you just make them

[lean scroll]

predefined groups.

I made them\

[unkempt dew]

it must be somewhere there? maybe combat ops doesn't like it

[lean scroll]

I think I found it.... dug around my oneNote. It is in the SCR_RespawnSystemComponent.

SpawnLogic Forced Faction = blank, not US

[unkempt dew]

I got it to work the same way the normal radio does. Make an .acp (sound file, reference the RadioProtocol_CombatPatrol_US) and just have the sound changed, also a unique name. In the editor, if its a task you can call it there (pic1). If it needs to be an area radius, im not sure the exact way to set it up but you can see how its done for extraction

oh, and specify it in SCR_CommunicationSoundComponent

[unkempt dew]

i only see the basic SCR_MenuSpawnLogic, but then again i dont need custom squad names

[lean scroll]

@unkempt dew It's the forced faction field. The gamemode from CO:Arland has US in it. Remove it, Faction Selection appears in deployment setup. Actually if you disable "Welcome Screen" then Faction Selection becomes the first screen shown.

[unkempt dew]

were you able to get the debug forced area to work? no matter what i put for the name it refuses to load

under SCR_GameModeCombatOpsManager

[idle stone]

I know I can randomise an objective(samples) but I want to them to hit a trigger point and randomly selects 1 of the 5 objectives and or when 1 objective completes it random selects another. How do I go about this?

[tidal hearth]

Scenario framework can do that. Layers that hold multiple tasks can be set to spawn whenever you want, and there is the option to randomly spawn 1 of these tasks under that layer. It will need some tinkering but def possible.
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Scenario_Framework

[lean scroll]

@idle stone Use a slottrigger.et or logicCounter.et to call the layer holding the tasks, or to create a follow on task after completing another use the "OnTaskFinish" section of the layertask. I started doing this with all my tasks now.

[digital creek]

I'd like to spawn, then move a prefab using the Scenario Framework.
My initial idea was to use two slots: Specify the same prefab, specify a common ID, then tick "Use Existing" for the second one.
However, this does not appear to be working. What is the correct method?

[tidal hearth]

Use existing is used to instead of spawning the enity in the slot it look for the entity where the slot is palced, not sure how much range tho. What would you like to cause the moving to happen?

[digital creek]

Just regular triggering of the parent layer.

[tidal hearth]

I think it might not be possible without a bit of scripting, you can try setting up your own Activation Action for the slot/layer. I there you could define the name of the entity you want to move, and the coords. Cant think of another way 😕 can give you a hand with it if you want.

[nova onyx]

@digital creek @tidal hearth there is an action Set Entity Position
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Scenario_Framework#Set_Entity_Position. Is that what you are looking for?

[digital creek]

[lean scroll]

Search resource browser

[merry frost]

In order to properly work with the Scenario Framework, you need to have several things already set in your world that you are already working on. For this, we have created a very simple way how to setup any functional world on its own using the World Editor Plugin called Game Mode Setup. Here, you can choose from several Game Mode Templates, but for the Scenario Framework, you will want to use the ScenarioFramework.conf variant.

Thats why I went looking under plugins

[lean scroll]

yea, that is experimental right now.

Hi together, is there any "special" by the AIWaypoint_GetInNearest? My AI walks to the car the but stands and waits right next to it instead of expecting going in and take Weapon, Co driver Seat etc. thanks for your help

[twin patio]

What do you mean by "special"? I've used AIWaypoint_GetInNearest and it works for me. I make sure the radius of the waypoint covers the vehicle (don't know if that's needed) and point the AI Group to that waypoint. I guess the important question is are you using AI Group entity or just the single individual character? From what I can tell you have to use AI Group to utilize the AI behavior tree. If you want just one guy, not a group of them, then you'll need to create a copy of that group prefab and delete all but one of the characters in the group.

[rotund wave]

Thanks for your quick reply. Yes, I used SCR_AIGroup (a prefab of a Group) because a read that Waypoints won't work without Group Conditions. And yes, my WP covered also the full car, everything is snapped and WP ist pinned to Group as static waypoint. But they are just walking to the car and standing then next to it. Strange.

[twin patio]

Interesting! Are you getting a warning (yellow text) in console saying something along the lines of "stuck, can't get in" or something like that? I'll get that every now and then, but I think that's just when they're queued up waiting to enter the vehicle while another is getting in, or maybe they just can't get in because of whatever else.

[rotund wave]

On my first impression nothing what belongs to the Car or the Group. I will try now for testing creating a manual Entity and take a look if this works.

[frozen ridge]

Please can someone help me? I'm trying to get the map to work in my mission. I've mimicked the default gamemode and added the two components but when I try loading in I get this error.

[humble turtle]

Hi everyone. I am building a new mission and I have some issues with waypoints. I have setup multiple AI groups to follow the same waypoints (but start at different position so I can balance the count depending on the player number) but only the leader is following the patrol waypoints. All other units of that group are staying at their position. I can't find what might be wrong. I am using scenario framework. In my first mission (without SF) the patrol waypoints were working fine. I don't think it has anything to do with the SF but I think I have searched in all places. I know there was an option to specify if only the leader needs to reach a waypoint before cycling to the next but except for the leader the AI groups are not moving at all. Setup is like this:

[idle stone]

RESOURCES (E): Failed to load metafile of mission config image:
DEFAULT (E): Cannot copy image:
RESOURCES (E): Creating bundle failed i know this has been asnwered a million times but i still cant get it working i even made blank white pngs and still failed

[lean scroll]

@idle stone try a jpeg file?

This is for the mission config file, import a jpg, and drag the .edds to the placeholder.

[sand wadi]

I have put down 3 HQ`s US / USSR / FIA, Whenver i start my mission in editor it always spawns me at FIA even though i select US or USSR ?
Also, Even though it is FIA base it still displays US flag or USSR 🙂

[tidal hearth]

Are you modding conflict?

[sand wadi]

I`m using a custom map, and just added the 3 bases. I even removedthe FIA base and it still spawns me at the wrong base:)
Sometimes it works fine.

[tidal hearth]

Not sure about the behavior of HQs outside of conflict, might have some unexpected results.

[sand wadi]

Its a custom map, Where i added ConflictMilitaryBase, one for US and one for USSR, Both made has HQs, Can spawn at the HQs and can see the flag of which country i spawn, but i should spawn at Us base and not ussr

[visual vale]

You didn't setup the scenario correctly

[thin swan]

Is it already possible to create AI waypoints in a way that an AI group will continue to the next waypoint only after a trigger elsewhere has been activated (for example by a player)?

[lean scroll]

@thin swan In SF set the waypoint activation to on_trigger. Then in the trigger point it to the waypoint triggered by player.

[thin swan]

Thanks. Have you tried and tested that when done like that it works? Because I tried that approach mere minutes ago and it didn't. Or then I just managed to get something wrong while doing.
What I've been testing here it seems that ON_TRIGGER_ACTIVATION works pretty much only when applied to Layer but not for example to Slot (where you usually add waypoints for the AI).

I also tested so that I had multiple slots for different waypoints under a single layer and then I set the layer to ON_TRIGGER_ACTIVATION, then pointed the player trigger to that layer. But that just did not work; the AI group that should use the waypoints from the specified layer never start 'going after the waypoints'. Feels like spawning waypoints out of nowhere for AI to use doesn't work?

[lean scroll]

I personally have not tried that specific setup. Let me finish testing this task, and I'll look at it.

[unkempt dew]

i ran into that when i was making combat ops on Kunar. in the gamemodes welcome screen, the images you choose have to be from your mod, not another/dependency. looked like something to do with GUID stuff

meant to tag them not you

[sand wadi]

It was one of the dropdown boxes needed changing from FIA

[visual vale]

I see, they must have changed it from the last time I checked

Before theyd automatically associate according to whats on the Faction Config as the HQ prefab, and what faction Flag it is

[sand wadi]

Ahh, i see what i did, I put down AmbientPatrolSpawnpoint_FIA.et instead of US, must of copy / pasted 🙂,

[lean scroll]

After a bunch of different combinations, I could not do it either. I tried what you did, plus tried deleting the group, and respawning it. It may require a user script which I haven't looked at yet.
I tried add multiple waypoints sets to the group and triggering them. No go.

[thin swan]

Thanks for confirming. Having to script it is a no go for me, for the foreseaable future at least. Are you considering looking into trying to script it?

[proud vine]

Trying to make a mission through Game Mode Setup, but im stuck at Mission Header stage. Any ideas to why it's empty?

[sand wadi]

ffs. it doing it again, Drives me mad this reforger mission making 🙂 🙂 🙂

[visual vale]

Did you add all the necessary prefabs?

[sand wadi]

I followed youtube, Pretty sure i got them all he mentioned

[visual vale]

Do any errors come up when you hit Play?

[sand wadi]

i have 113 in console 🙂

[visual vale]

Then maybe you should start reading them and figuring whats wrong with the setup

Sort so its Red ones only

It should tell you whats wrong just by looking at it

[sand wadi]

They all seem to be for segments of the road missing
a few for [SCR_HUDManagerComponent]
There are 2 invalid segments on the road of @"ENTITY:134252"

[visual vale]

Try loading into the gamemode itself, THEN check your Log

[sand wadi]

That is what i got when i pressed play

[visual vale]

I see

[sand wadi]

Think ill do a fresh, and use a different map, Im using GULFCOAST, Done it a few times, so getting quicker now 🙂

[sand wadi]

Oh i see a conflictMussalo in workshop, 🙂 🙂 Ahh but it didnt load 😦

[visual vale]

Its outdated

[sand wadi]

the combat ops one is working 🙂

[sand wadi]

All working fine on Mussalo map.

[proud vine]

Did you figure out how to test your mission locally? Having many of the same issues. So far I have only been able to make my mission visible once by copy pasting the direct path into the launch parameters. But the mission crashes and disappears after trying to play it.

[humble turtle]

For me the issue was fixed once I moved the mod directory from Documents\My Games\ArmaReforgerWorkbench\addons to a directory outside this path. I put them on a folder on my desktop and once I loaded that in workbench I was able to publish.

[lean scroll]

I am considering it, but I have so much right now to do, it will be a while until I dabble with scripting.

[vivid anchor]

Peertool

[sand wadi]

Placed a HQ, can interact with the supplies added onto HQ, but not the main HQ sign, Or is it just me 🙂

[tidal hearth]

By main HQ sign you mean the Build action? It is moved inside the tent with 1.0.

[sand wadi]

Oh yeah, Thank you

[digital creek]

Has anyone updated their Conflict yet? Would be useful to have a checklist for what needs to be changed.

I was missing the CampaignLoadoutManager, but otherwise I'm still looking.

[sand wadi]

Loads them all in automatically if you run Gamemode setup

[digital creek]

Anything else? Supply stuff etc.

[toxic gate]

When I place the game mode plain prefab I can’t make the menu spawn an option. I’ve tried changing the spawn logic from automatic but it just switches back everytime automatically

Anyone understand why?

For reforger

[tidal hearth]

how are you changing it?

[toxic gate]

I’m going into the respawn SCR and changing the spawn logic to menu but it resets everytime if I apply the change.

I don’t see any other way to change it

How would you with a plain game mode setup a menu spawn system

[tidal hearth]

Did you override the gamemode prefab in your mod? @toxic gate

[toxic gate]

Mmm I don’t think so?

How would you go about doing that

I just dragged the game mode plain prefab in and have tried to edit it via the applied SCRs

[tidal hearth]

You can right click on it, and there is an override option. Try to edit that override afterwards and do the change there. Maybe that will work?

[toxic gate]

I’ll give it a shot when I get home tonight. This has been the biggest struggle of me creating a scenario is just setting up the game mode and proper spawns .

I appreciate the tip

[tidal hearth]

No worries, feel free to ping if you dont manage.

[sand wadi]

Made a conflict server, But its only showing 6 slots for US and 6 for USSR 🙂 In th Config file, I set it too 20

[toxic gate]

How many slots did you pay for? Or are you using a computer to host

[sand wadi]

I have it on a 20 slot server, and in the multiplayer it does say 0/20

[toxic gate]

yeah after right clicking the gamemode_plain in my tree I see nothing with override as an option

could I stream to you in a channel and show you?

idk if that would be easier

[tidal hearth]

Do it in the resource browser. Not in you hierarchy. Any entity from the world can be saved. Search for it by name.

[toxic gate]

ohh i see these

woah ok yeah I duplicated that mode override to my project and now I can save a menu spawn

and now I get null errors and when I click spawn it just shows an aerial of the map

lmao

fix one problem and hop into the next

[humble turtle]

Hi, I just tested in the new Reforger Tools with a basic setup: clean SvenarioFramework.conf, just one Area which contains two layers: -- LayerWP ->SlotWP1 and SlotWP2 with PatrolWP each ... LayerAI-> SlotAI with a sentry group and SCR_Waypointset set to Layer2WP. And the leader follows the waypoints but the other group members just stay where they are spawned. Has anyone else noticed this behaviour? Is this a bug? Or do i need to change a specific setting? Many thanks in advance!

[sand wadi]

Have you read this By Blackheart_Six
https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/243410-ai-and-waypoints/

[humble turtle]

That's basically what I have followed. I mean the leader is following the waypoints as requested ... but the other group members just stay at their spawn point ... so I am wondering if I just miss a configuration option of if this is somehow wrong in the Scenario Framework. I created my first mission without Scenario Framework and there all group members followed the waypoints if I remember correctly

[sand wadi]

Just in editor, If you select a group AI and look at the commands, Most of them say, The order will be completed once the leader reaches the intended position

[worthy glade]

ok well you must be a genius relative to me then

i salute your brains sir

[lean scroll]

single, as in cell. Brain cell.

[worthy glade]

yeah that's me. i need like hand holding

[humble turtle]

If I switch to Game mode and then to GameMaster in Workbench I see both members of the Sentry Group in status "Following orders". I checked the sample from SF Samples world and there it's working fine ... but I don't see a difference to my setup. I guess I need to compare both worlds tomorrow side-by-side ...

[worthy glade]

i think what i want to do is a little too much for a first mission. round based tdm, maybe i need to figure out like how to make a ffa and a tdm first

[acoustic field]

How do I update my mission for the new update?- So it shows up in workshop.

Also how to make my conflict mission only first person 😛

[lean scroll]

AFAIK 1st/3rd person is set on the server.
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Server_Config

disableThirdPerson
bool value, default: false
Force clients to use the first-person view.```

[lean scroll]

Pro-Tip from a non-professional...
Turn OFF Dynamic Despawn when starting out making your scenario.
It will impact things like intel delivery task updates. Things may not spawn as you expect them to.
Once you complete your placement of the tasks, objects etc, turn on dynamic despawn, and exclude entities you don't want impacted by dynamic despawn.

[pure lynx]

A silly question for other mission makers. Is there any special step I need to do to publish a GM mode mission which is loadavle on a custom server? Like creating a config file etc? Is there any documentation I can look at?

[gritty vortex]

mission header config in missions folder

[pure lynx]

Does it have to have any special value? Additionally: I was considering using some functions of the custom scenarios to activate area spawn based on trigger condition… however it looks like scenario and gm mode are not getting along well together… what can I do to fix that? I would really make a lot of use of the Area.et, layer.et, SlotAI.et prefabs but they do not work in gm and I fear gm functions are not available in scenario framework

[gritty vortex]

you can just look at how the vanilla ones are setup

[pure lynx]

I don’t know exactly where to look at, never dug into scenarios, if you could give me a lead it would help me a lot

[gritty vortex]

here you go

I think the only limitation is you cannot use images from vanilla in the config

[pure lynx]

Thanks!

[sand wadi]

Anyway to save your progress, Restart server and all back to beginning, Have tried putting -loadSaveFile into server start line ?
Or could we use this one " -loadSessionSave if you're on Exp"
-loadSessionSave Worked 🙂
But doesn`t save vehicles left at base IE Supply truck / Humvee

[idle stone]

anyway to make it so you dont use resources?

i want to make a sandbox type mission with using the vehicle spawners but want no resource restrictions

[inland hornet]

Need help don't know why it says insert world name as i was sure with the second image that I updated it in the tools and published it?

[sand wadi]

Did you fill it in on the publish page

[inland hornet]

thats the second image right?

or you mean this?

Because I named it in all areas it asked me for but for some reason it isnt updating or I'm just missing another option to fill in somewhere?

[sand wadi]

oH, THOUGHT U COULD NAME IT IN BOTH PLACES

Did the other 5 versions work ok

[inland hornet]

nope

should I try remove from workshop and try again?

[sand wadi]

might as well

[inland hornet]

If I remove from workshop that will only delete it from there right not my local save

[sand wadi]

Instead of publish, use Remove, your saved copy should be fine

Also says your description isn`t showing as well

and the creaters name is cg-xenon Is it a different one

[inland hornet]

yeah thats just my bohemia account name

perfect yeah that fixed it

[sand wadi]

But shouldn`t it type what you typed in the header file ?

[inland hornet]

just had to re upload

[sand wadi]

Ok cool

[pure lynx]

Game master interface and item placing is available in Scenario Framework Game Mode?

[gentle ether]

I'm wanting to make some downsized Conflict missions for my community. What's the best framework to use in order to future-proof against future Conflict changes? Dependencies? Duplicates? Which files are specifically required?

[thin swan]

How does one get entirely rid of the 'supplies' functionality that apparently was added with 1.0? Already before v1.0 I made a mission that has ArsenalBox_FIA prefab from where players can (now: could) get weapons and items. Come v1.0 and the items can't be picked up anymore due to every single item having some 'supply' value. The mission I created doesn't use any supply system (and won't). The arsenal box has SCR_ResupplySupportStationComponent and there's for example this Use Supplies selectable tickbox but disabling that does nothing.

[lean scroll]

Yes.

[lean scroll]

You can use bacon8008 "No Supply Arsenals" mod that makes everything 0 points. Or you can override the entity conf file, and zero yourself.

[thin swan]

Is this the real life....or is this just fantasy 😮 Like what, was someone thinking coming up with that and like apparently, hardcoding it even?

[gritty vortex]

hey now that only changes items to be 0 points, not structures

[lean scroll]

I think that is what OP wants...

[thin swan]

So, is there now no way to add a single weapon into a crate for a player to pick up without this supply mechanism interfering with everything?

[lean scroll]

hmmm in game? or as part of the scenario creation process?

[thin swan]

Good point, as part of scenario creation

[lean scroll]

Sure you can add it and set the values to 0.

wait one....

[thin swan]

But just setting every item to 0 will still show the god dawg supply value (now as 0) on every item

[lean scroll]

yes, I don't think you can remove that without scripting something.

TBH I am still trying to figure out the logistics system myself. I think they should have just went with something like R3F in A3.

We have weapons crates. Pick up the crate, put the crate in a vehicle or container. They made overly complicated now.

[thin swan]

Who in their right mind came up with that, to apparently tie everything to that supply system. And everyone will just take that and happily swagger along?? Like did they (BI of course) see it as an all encompassing solution for every future scenario the community will ever want to create in AR and in A4. Well apparently they did since it's not possible to disable the whole supply mechanism 'just-like-that'.

[thin swan]

What is the idea with this then: arsenal boxes have this SCR_ArsenalComponent that offers the possibility to overwrite the default arsenal config the box would otherwise use. One of the parameters in the overwrite section is Supply Cost where it's possible to enter a value with which to change the supply value of the item you want to manually add into the arsenal.
But as I tested it, changing the value did nothing; the supply value of an M16A2 remained in the default 8 (I tried to force it to 0 via the parameter).

And after all, this reads in the description of the parameter
"Supply cost of item when using the resupply action and/or taking them from the arsenal inventory. Note in overwrite arsenal config this value is ignored and still taken from catalog"

[sand wadi]

Is it normal after a server restart to lose supplies at Bases 🙂 and vehicles, At least it is saving though 🙂 🙂 🙂

[lean scroll]

@thin swan You change the cost of an item in the faction manager, under entity catalog. Or create an override of the entity catalog and edit directly there. I use the entity catalog so I can easily add items like RHS's marine corp faction to US Army faction. I set the cost there to zero for all items.
Bit confusing when it states "Do not edit this directly in the prefab, use a config instead."

[outer geyser]

dumb question but how do I place a drivable vehicle in the engine? When I place the vehicle from Prefabs>Vehicles>Wheeled>... its accessible but it's not moving

[lean scroll]

drivable by players? or AI? @outer geyser

[outer geyser]

By Player. So I place it, press play and then I can do a test drive over my map

[lean scroll]

@outer geyser this a map you are building?

[outer geyser]

yes

[lean scroll]

ahhh ok. Better to ask in the terrain makers channel.

[outer geyser]

I'm making a map right now and I wanna do a little test drive and look at it from the player perspective

[lean scroll]

if finished product, then you should be able to GM, and plop down a vehicle and drive.

[outer geyser]

ok I'll try that. Thanks

[dawn dagger]

I'm trying to make it so soldiers can't seize a base, but a certain vehicle can, like the mhq. Any idea how to go about doing this?

[thin swan]

Thank you for the pointer that the supply costs can be changed in Faction Manager. I hadn't yet stumbled on the fact that faction specific stuff (gear, items and so on) is declared there.
You mention the ability to "override the entity conf file". I tried to look for it but couldn't yet find. Like is it a .conf or, I don't know, maybe a .json file where it's possible to quickly go through all the objects and change their supply costs?

[pure lynx]

When it comes to creating a conflict mission on a non standard map, do I have to manually place all the spawns and stuff of the systems is capable of auto placing them when I do the mission. Game mode setup?

[thin swan]

I guess as a sorts of a continuation on the topic of config overriding: I stumbled into faction configs just now. Those seem to hold all the info that Faction Manager uses. I duplicated the CampaignFactionManager and noticed that each SCR_CampaignFaction points to a faction specific config. Clicking any of the configs displayed there only takes to the config itself. Is there a way to change that what config is used (by the SCR_CampaignFaction)? Suppose I could create a modded config but then how to point it to the Faction Manager?

[pure lynx]

Drag the new config file you build on the list as it’ll be added

[thin swan]

Oh wow! Thanks Khaeltan. Little had I thought that something like that is possible 😮

[fiery olive]

Hey FolksI I am a CAH builder (look for Power Plant in the workshop). You can call me a beginner. So i am having a question. I have put a vehicleMaintanance near the spawn and an E_SupplyShippingContainer close to it. When i spawn in the world editor i can choose the vehicles and you can see them blue transparent on the spawn position but they don´t spawn . What can i do or what is missing that this will work?

[lean scroll]

I guess as a sorts of a continuation on

[pure lynx]

Anyone has any idea if there is a way to automatically place conflict bases, checkpoints, etc based on locations in the map if it is not the standard Arland/Everon?

[visual vale]

As far as I know it has to be done manually

In Conflict I'm like 85% sure everything was hand placed

[pure lynx]

Eck that’s gonna be a huge thing to do then 😅

[merry frost]

I'm using the scenario framework and have managed to get a mission together. Which waypoint type should I use just to have the AI randon patrol when using the slotAI function?

I've set it up like this:

[thin swan]

AIWaypoint_Move goes just fine to get you going. Have you tested and is it not working then or?

[merry frost]

yes, that setup doesn't spawn the AI either it seems

So I guess i've done something wrong somewhere with it

Just dropping it down, and placing it without the waypoints has worked for over AI groups though

And can I add a "SCR Resource Component" to any object to make it a storage dump?

[sand wadi]

Aren`t u suppose to have AI in that slot, Cant see any

[merry frost]

this bit at the top?

Also, another quick question - i've been following the scenario framework tutorial. I've got a working mission now (this is what i'm adding the AI too), however my arsenal (that it tells you how to place) has no supplies, how do I give it supplies or at least put some locally around it to use as I've tried placing the supplies prefab for the US, but none seem to appear

[pure lynx]

Whee is the tutorial for the scenario framework?

[sand wadi]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Scenario_Framework

I found by following that, i stil lgot errors when using Gamode setup,

[merry frost]

yeah, it could do with some more pictures on the page though to help

[thin swan]

The reason why AI is not spawning might not be because of this but do some changes to your entities that currently are all under the Area2. See the picture for reference. Typing out the changes that I'm trying to show with the picture: create another Area, then under it a Layer for which you give a name of your choice, then add two Slot under that layer. Then in both of the slots you just created you will add AIWaypoint_Move.et into Object to spawn. Then switch to SlotAI3 and reference the waypoint layer name in the waypoints section

[merry frost]

also, needs to mention supplies since thats a thing now

[merry frost]

Does this work then?

I take it you renamed your layer to waypoints_ussr_1?

[thin swan]

Yes

[merry frost]

I'll give it a go in a bit then

Some of this could probably do with going on the biki as it wasn't very clear

[thin swan]

I took the picture and typed the instructions from solution I just created so it should work. That the AI doesn't spawn might be due to other reasons, for example SCR_AIWorld missing from the scenario but I guess you have that placed already?

[merry frost]

yeah, the framework placed it and the other groups that have just defend on them are fine

it is only that 1 group for the patrolling that had the issue

[thin swan]

By the way, as you can see from the picture I posted, I did rename the two slots that were for the two waypoints I wanted placed. Renaming the slots isn't necesary though, only thing that matters in this specific context is to have the layer that holds the slots to be renamed.

[merry frost]

any ideas on the supplies thing for the arsenal?

And the slots for your waypoints are just empty slots right?

[thin swan]

Haven't been delving too deep into that portion yet so I don't know for certain. But as far as I understand it is possible to make any bumb object to act as arsenal; you just need to have the correct components added to the object you want to have as arsenal. You can take for example ArsenalBox_FIA.et prefab and see what components it uses. Replicate those components to the object of your liking.

[merry frost]

yeah, I have an arsenal, but it comes with no supplies in it so you can't change gear

[thin swan]

Depends on what empty in this case means(?) If you want the waypointing to work you need the waypoints of your choice to each of the slots. You add a waypoint to the Object to spawn part of each Slot

[merry frost]

just default slot.et

[thin swan]

Yes

[thin swan]

Not yet sure if we're talking about the same issue here.. but I was also wondering about that supplies thing earlier today. If you don't want to go the way of adding supplies to your scenarios then you will need to change the supply costs of each item you want to make available through arsenal

[merry frost]

Look about right to you?

[thin swan]

I'd say yes

[merry frost]

Cool, i'll give it a go

The supplies though, I want the players to have limited amounts so things still cost. And then they could find more. So i'd just need some way of starting them with extra supplies at the start

[thin swan]

Hopefully someone else more familiar with the whole supply thing could help you out on this one. For now at least I try to steer away from the functionality as a whole

[winged current]

Why is the supplies sytem so complex, you have money and you want to buy something?
Why have a CTI mission with 15 players per side with 20 capture points, they have create a digging simulator. and yes I am cheesed off my mission broken and it gets ever more complicated to do basic stuff.

[merry frost]

Yeah, it worked this time

[thin swan]

Brilliant

[merry frost]

must have been something I ticked or simply the waypoints I created

It works now anyway. Thanks

[thin swan]

Can only hope that in the long run BI will also offer a way (for scenario creators) to quickly disable the whole supply mechanism. So that missions could also include arsenals where players can get their gear without any cost (in this case, the supplies).

[merry frost]

Or at least provide instructions on its use

[winged current]

Why not start simple and make it more complex, you only have to look in scripts\sandbox\resources, why so complex? and all the network traffic it will create.

[winged current]

Making documentation for entitycatlog and Resources is not a trival job they have created their own problems.

[thin swan]

Is it possible to have spawnpoint specific spawn timers? Or only one global spawn timer for all the factions spawnpoints?

[winged current]

I think its global?

[thin swan]

Oggling the Workbench seems to be so. But doesn't Conflict game mode have different spawn timers for base spawns and spawns on radios? If that was the case, then is there some easy way to achieve that or does that already need scriptinggg

[winged current]

I dont know, I have always worked on my own game mode not conflict.

[merry frost]

Managed ot get some resources working now at least

Had to have it simply generate them nearby, preplaced filled ones don't seem to work for me

[sand wadi]

SCR_TimedSpawnPointComponent for returning to base after death is set at 10 seconds,

[distant slate]

does anybody have any guide or steps to duplicate conflict so i can modify it?

[thin swan]

And does this story continue?

[sand wadi]

So u need something else too have a timer ?

[thin swan]

Yup, was looking to have another spawnpoint that uses different timer (/time-to-spawn)

[sand wadi]

Ahh, get ya, i`ll keep loooking through all the options

[lunar lance]

Could someone help me out please? I'm trying to slightly modify the vanilla Combat-Ops. Mainly just setting a single infil and extract location.

I've even tried it without making any changes to the vanilla set up but it's not working.

[lean scroll]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eh3-5b1QjcE that tutorial should get you started, but it's a bit dated since a few things seemed to have changed after 1.0

[pure lynx]

Thank you!!!

[lean scroll]

Granted I'm still trying to figure out how to test it now, since 1.0 somethings changed, I suggest downloading conflict mod and making a subscene to see what they changed ill try that unless anyone knows directly lol

[lean scroll]

I can work with you tomorrow. Download my asymmetric warifare 3 and see how I did it there

[fiery olive]

I have put an E-SupplyShippingContainersw + 20 ft close to the arsenal. then you have 1000$. You can increase the money in the resource component / value current...

[thin swan]

Anyone familiar how to add items to objects in somewhat similar manner it is done for characters? So far I've come to understand that it's done with SCR_InventoryStorageManagerComponent. A problem I'm facing here is that being able to add items into objects inventory would require adding path to Target Storage but there's nothing in the drop-down menu.
This is how adding individual items to characters is instructed in the Wiki https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Faction_Creation#Adding_items_to_character_storage with the Target Storage path shown in the accompanied picture. I can't for the life of me figure out how to do the same with other objects

[idle stone]

i want to make it so i can make firing range targets reset my user menu rather than timed?? any have any ideas how i go about it?

[thin swan]

Found an old convo that helped find one way on how to add items into the inventory of (basically any) object. Begins from this message from Spyke #enfusion_scenario message

Basically the solution is to add UniversalInventoryStorageComponent into the object of your choice. Then in that component add as many InventoryStorageSlot (look for Initial Storage Slots at the bottom) as you feel you need for the objects you want added into the object's inventory, then fill every 'slot' with the prefab you want added.

Is there a way to modify the despawn times on vehicles that have died (and I guess you can then respawn them via the scenario framework?). We used to have the garbage collector component but thats gone now so I'm wondering if we can change the settings?

[lean scroll]

@merry frost CampaignGarbageSystem.conf controls garbage. Check it out. I need to look at it as well.

[merry frost]

Yeah, I guess its a compenent we can add somewhere? Or at least just do an override on it?

[lean scroll]

I would just override

which I am going to do right now!

[merry frost]

nice, let us know how you get on and how you did it

I'd like to know as I have ticked the respawn box within the scenario framework, but my vehicle never seems to respawn (I guess because the wreck is still present), unless I've done something wrong

[sand wadi]

So if you leave the "only destroyed" ticked, Wont the distance from player make them despawn ? I did reduce the players distance, But nothing despawned 🙂

[merry frost]

Dunno, where did you set "only destroyed"?

[sand wadi]

CampaignGarbageSystem.conf

[humble turtle]

to reply to myself ... I fixed the issue by using the "CTI_Campaign_Eden.nmn" navmesh instead of the one that was selected. Now the patrols are really patroulling

[sand wadi]

Someone mentioned it would cause chaos if "Only Destroyed" was unticked

There isn`t one selected, You must of put it in there 🙂 🙂

[merry frost]

I'm just trying to remember how to change the respawn menu in the gamemode now 😄

[lean scroll]

I am unchecking "Only Destroyed" since I want all the garbage around the arsenal box cleaned up.

I dropped the distance and lifetime down low to test and will adjust from there.

[merry frost]

nice, let us know hwo you got on. Also, how did you run the override? Its something i've not done before

[lean scroll]

right click on the .conf, and select "Override".

Then is runs in background

AFAIK

[merry frost]

nice, hadn't realised that was a thing

[lean scroll]

oh yea that is how you customize just about anything.

[sand wadi]

Odd, it wouldn`t let me drag "CampaignGarbageSystem.conf" into my project ?

[merry frost]

how long has that been there? never noticed it before. I suppose I ought to write it down at some point

right click on the default one, since I've overriden it the option doesn't appear but its basically there

[sand wadi]

Greyed out for me

[lean scroll]

You don't drop and drag into the world.

[sand wadi]

This is what Bacon said, Don`t know what side effects though

you could try to override CampaignGarbageSystem.conf and untick Destroyed Only but this may have unwanted side effects

When you go into GM mode in game and you can see where to place S /M /L points to place stuff, Is there a option to see those places in the editor :

[lean scroll]

well I know for example in 0.9.9 if you dropped the intel folder, it would disappear when the GC ran.

well I just set everything low as possible, and it doesn't do anything. So IDK why they have to change something that was working just fine. I hope because it says "campaign" in the name, I don't have to run campaign mode. SF folks have garbage just as much.

[merry frost]

what about just plain garbagesystem.conf?

[lean scroll]

Huhhhhh? didn't see that one.

[merry frost]

yeah, I thought I would try typing it to see if another one existed

some work required looking at it

[lean scroll]

IDK maybe I am missing something. We had a pretty system with garbagemanager.et. Drag and drop. Set it up.

[merry frost]

indeed

[lean scroll]

How do I limit the number of items in the arsenal box? I want only 4 prick77s in the box.

[wispy temple]

I can't find the CampaignGarbageManager. Can anyone help me?

[sand wadi]

Its called "CampaignGarbageSystem.conf"

[wispy temple]

ah ok thanks 🙂

[idle stone]

I got firing range sorted with distance adjustment and target amounts but can't get the scoring to work on the top right of the screen

[merry frost]

I'm trying to get vehicles to respawn via the scenario framework, I thought I had it setup but even though my vehicle has been cleaned up, it doesn't respawn

[merry frost]

btw, that one works great once you add the classes to clean back in

[lean scroll]

show me?

[merry frost]

or did you mean my config 🙂

but thats my setup for the vehicle
