[merry frost]

just did an override on the garbagesystem.conf, then just copied over a couple of the classes out of the campaign one, it does a good job of cleaning up. Haven't really tried the dropped on floor stuff, but my vehicles clean fine. They just don't respawn

[lean scroll]

let me try the non-campaign one

[merry frost]

yeah, it seems to use those parameters from my testing just

anyway to get my vehicles to respawn?

[merry frost]

I've just put down some of the compositions that can spawn for now, it gives the players a reason to capture supplies now 😄

[humble onyx]

hello, I created a scenario and I would like to create an end of mission: when all players have reached a point, end of mission with victory. how should I do it ?

[lean scroll]

@humble onyx talk to @lunar lance ...LOL! Sorry had to go there.

@humble onyx Start here

[humble onyx]

@lean scroll thanks

[twilit current]

What do you need to do to create a conflict base for me it wont work like before the 1.0 patch the command tent wont spawn what am i missing?

[vital stirrup]

anyone else having an issue with GM spawning things taking forever?

[gritty vortex]

@hoary yoke did, perhaps you both have the same issue and you can share a fix

[hoary yoke]

mojo and i have been doing 7 hours of trying to fix it and we have narrowed it down to be within 200 files , so wel still trying 1 by 1

[vital stirrup]

i was asking for them lol

[thin swan]

Anyone knows if it is possible to create new Item Types? These are used for Arsenal and can for example be found in ArsenalItemTypeUIConfig.conf (see the picture)? For sure "new lines" can be created in that config but for every line there's a dropdown menu and in there it's only possible to select from the premade item types. I guess another question would be that are the Item Types hardcoded or can anyone add their own? If yes, then where these additions can be done?

[wispy temple]

I don't see any flags on the map and the points are not spawn points. Why is that? I don't know enough about the engine yet.

[twilit current]

got the same problem but got ignored twice

[wispy temple]

The spawn point now works but is not yet displayed on the map

[twilit current]

for me the Tent wont spawn

[wispy temple]

not for me either, but you can add Manuel. You can find them in the resorce browser

[twilit current]

what are we missing i feel dumb

[wispy temple]

This is the command post

apparently you now have to place all objects yourself

[twilit current]

is it interacting with the "Conflict Military Base"?

[wispy temple]

yes exactly

[twilit current]

ah ok

[twilit current]

thank you

[wispy temple]

I am also still learning

[twilit current]

same

[twilit current]

for me its missing the radio signal and the supplys that its start with normaly do you need to place those too?

[merry frost]

How do I add the ability to save loadouts to the arsenal's in game? I assumed it was either a component on the loadout manager or something on the box but i guess its neither?

Is there something I need to override for it to work? I had a look through combat ops and couldn't figure it out

[thin swan]

Make sure that you have SCR_ArsenalManagerComponent and SerializerInventoryStorageManagerComponent added to your game mode

[merry frost]

ok, it saves it but doesn't let me respawn with it?

[thin swan]

So you now got the Save loadout option in a arsenal box?

[merry frost]

yes

[thin swan]

Then, go to your loadout manager and add a new player loadout with SCR_PlayerArsenalLoadout. Give it a name, loadout resource, loadout image and affiliated faction

[merry frost]

I can't find that SCR

never mind, I tried changing class and not adding it 😄

So should the loadout resource just be a generic soldier or something else?

[thin swan]

For a US faction player it can be something like this

[merry frost]

I think you can only have 6 loadouts cos it won't go to the second tab

[thin swan]

Even if you set the loadout resource there it will or should show you the actual loadout you had on your character when saving the loadout

[thin swan]

I tested and went over 6 to 8

[merry frost]

Works fine, just rearranged the order, seems like you can't get to the 7th loadout onwards

[thin swan]

So you are now able to save and also load the loadout?

[merry frost]

yes, it works fine now thanks

[sand wadi]

Just place a ConflictMilitaryBase and the tent will appear,

[wispy temple]

yes that works thanks. It is important that you activate "Can be HQ". Then everything spawns.

[sand wadi]

Moved a Capture point in editor, and now i have 2 bases to capture (1 in old pos, 1 in new pos ?
DO NOT MOVE BASES ONCE PLACED IN EDITOR AND PUBLISHED - Deleted saved game progress and all ok now 🙂

[lean scroll]

when you go to the faction settings there is a choice in one of the config files for hq building , I was able to change it to a small radio before 1.0 for smaller scale conflict mode bases, but it's all done very differently now.

[rough pivot]

does anyone know why my conflict vehicle buy boards would be busted after simply overriding the config and changing some prices? i did this alot before the major update and never had an issue. Now every time i simply change the purchase price or rank it makes it so none of the vehicles can be spawned at the buy boards

[sand wadi]

Is it possible to place vehicles in editor with low fuel or damage

[tidal hearth]

Fuel is easy, can be done from SCR_FuelManagerComponent where all the fuel tanks are available. Damage might be a bit harder, not sure if can be done without a bit of scripting.

[sand wadi]

Fuel is fine, thank you

[lean scroll]

I think you set prices in the faction manager entity catalog. Or override the entity catalog and edit there.

[rough pivot]

Well that’s the thing I did it the exact same way I always have, I simply just overrid the vehicle config and simply changed the price of the Huey and rank along with the MI-8 to just balance them out a bit so there not so spammed and all the regular vehicles don’t work at the buy boards. I’ve been doing it for months without isssue, maybe @neat merlin do you know if this is a bug or was there something changed in the method of how vehicle configs have to be tweaked?

[thin swan]

How to disable a spawnpoint, for example from enemy presence? (So far only way I've learned is to delete the whole spawnpoint entity :D)

[tidal hearth]

Are you talking GM, conflict, custom mission?

[thin swan]

Custom mission in this case

[tidal hearth]

How are you deleting them up until now ? If you got access to script there is a dissable spawnpoint function i'm pretty sure.

[thin swan]

I'm doing the deleting via a trigger by having set in the trigger's Trigger Actions section SCR_ScenarioFrameworkActionDeleteEntity.
In Trigger Actions drop-down list there's a whole bunch of different SCR_'s but seems to be nothing that could be used to disable an entity. The point here would be that the spawnpoint should be disabled when there's enemy nearby and enabled again when there's not.

[tidal hearth]

I havent played much with it but there is an execute function action. I am imaggining something like this

[thin swan]

Is that an actual method, that DeactivateSpawnPoint?

[tidal hearth]

yup, that exists in the SCR_PlayerSpawnPoint. So make sure to use that

[thin swan]

I'll be damn. I'll be sure to test that certainly, thanks Koutsou. I guess these 'methods' aren't listed in any one place and more like that if you want to find, you have to go looking for them all over the place?

[tidal hearth]

Not sure about detailed documentation of each class and its contents. Most stuff is easy to find by opening the script file and looking into it.

[tough grotto]

can anyone answer some questions about making a scenario ? trying to follow the wiki tut but am having issues

[spiral coral]

Just send the question and someone will usually answer if they know

[tough grotto]

I completed the tutorial was able to make a spawn for a us team. So now I was looking to figure out how to create a spawn area like if I wanted to section off everon and setup 4 different spawn areas.

[fathom granite]

Anyone knows how works the "slot" prefab? Need it to spawn a arsenal on mission init and avoid a JIP error with moded arsenals

[tidal hearth]

It is part of the Scenario Framework. You will need its component in your gamemode and it will need to be a child of an Area prefab.
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Scenario_Framework
Not sure what you are trying to fix with this tho, not sure if this is the way.

[fleet harness]

Hello, how do I get this radio to keep playing? I wish it would play a radio conversation

[bold horizon]

Anyone got a good tutorial for coop tasks and how to set them up, docs are pretty bleak

[tidal hearth]

You can use the documentation i posted above and use Scenario Framework for that. What are you trying to do?

[bold horizon]

Just set some mission objectives they can pick from the map. Only starting small with 2 bases full of units . They need to pick one and complete then other etc. nothing to in depth at mo as still learning all the functions

[tidal hearth]

Have you checked the combat ops scenario? I think that would be a good start for you.

[bold horizon]

Ah I haven’t . I will take a look. Thanks for the advice 🙂

[fathom granite]

Yeah, it worked, there is a error with making a mission with modded arsenal on it, it kick all players at start with "JIP error", tried everything and this was the only solution

[sand wadi]

I can get AI to goto waypoints, How do you get them to go back to first one and start again

[tidal hearth]

Look into the Cycle waypoint. Its basicly a composition of waypoints.

[sand wadi]

Thanks Koutsou got that working, Must be the group i spawned because no option for respawn after x seconds ?

[tidal hearth]

The group it self has no functionality to respawn itself from what i know. You will need to use something else. Conflict is using ambient patrols and combat ops is using scenario framework for respawning ai.

[sand wadi]

I do have AmbientPatrolSpawnpoint AI which respawn every 3600 (1 hour) But they wont follow waypoints 🙂 🙂

Oh, i could set them to spawn on a trigger

[wraith veldt]

would be cool if they relayed the platoon net in the command tents

[sand wadi]

How can you increase player slots, My Dedi server is set to 20 slots, But in game, I only have 6 on both sides ?
Or can people make a new group so it fills another 6 slots ?

[tidal hearth]

I think that's configurable in the mission header. Not sure if it can be overriden with server settings.

[sand wadi]

Looked in lots of configs, couldn`t see it, But then joined another 20 slot and 1st group had 3 players, so it gave me option to make another group

[tidal hearth]

Have you checked this, its the one where you configure the name of your mission etc...

[sand wadi]

Oh yeah, set to 20

[wild trellis]

I believe it can also be set in the game mode? 🤷‍♂️

[sand wadi]

Looked all over :). any pointers :

[bold horizon]

thanks for the link to this framework too, doing my own following a tutorial before tasks would not work at all, followed the setup with framework and tasks are perfect now

[thin swan]

Is there a way to manually place markers when creating a scenario in Workbench? I searched this channel for "place markers" and the last results were from June last year.. And yes, Scenario Framework could be exploited to some extent by creating tasks with it but not really looking for that as a solution. More looking for something like it has been in the previous titles where you have marker "objects" that you can just place in the editor.

[pure lynx]

Good morning everyone. I’m testing my mod and installed it on a server. It looks like there is an issue with localisarion (picture1). However I don’t see it when I log in myself (both from workbench and on server directly) . Any idea?

[thin swan]

An answer but only partial: create a GenericEntity and add SCR_MapDescriptorComponent to it. Then in the properties of the SCR_MapDescriptorComponent select Icon (generic) as the Main Type and in the Imageset Quad Element add the name of the "marker" you want to add. Names of many different "markers" can be found in the .imageset files under UI/Imagesets.
The partiality of this 'answer' comes from the fact that so far I've only managed to get the markers that reside in the Conflict folder (UI/Imagesets/Conflict/) to display in-game. Why only those? Why it seemingly is not possible to use for example the MilitarySymbol icons as well?

[hybrid ember]

hello mate

CampaignGarbageManagement is delete ?

i need create new .conf in my missions ?

@gritty vortex make sure you've added the ZEL component I think it's worldvalidation?

It's something I kept accidently forgetting. Hopefully that's your issue

[gritty vortex]

Thanks @swift raft 🙂 🙂 🙂 Already added that, In fact i copied all the files and folders 🙂

Does it not spawn if its close to a spawn or player etc..

[bold horizon]

whats best way to stop this fella gettin on roof, i put a small defend WP to keep him in there, but he gets on roof too lol

[visual vale]

Put something on the roof that stops him from climbing

[bold horizon]

good idea 😛 was thinking how the wp works or an option, but wire may do it!¬

[lean scroll]

Add individual .bt's and waypoints combo.

[fleet harness]

Hello, could anyone help me? I did a GM mission in Tools and it's working 100% with mods in singleplayer. But when I add mods like m4a1 or task force mattock, other players cannot access the server. Does anyone know what it could be? I tested everything I could think of.

Mods that don't add uniforms or weapons to arsenals work

Task Force Mattock Weapons e Uniforms, M110 DMR, M4a1 Block II, Modern FIA don't Works

Gm persisent Loadouts, Carrier System, Better Traces, Game Master fx works

[bold horizon]

Will try this morning , thanks for the idea! New to all this so it’s a slow curve 🙂

[stone jewel]

hi does anyone have a script to spawn in a missle and make it shoot at a specific target? thanks

[lean scroll]

SF FEEDBACK: Even with dynamic despawn/spawn you still get these stutters when AI spawn in and out. Especially true when flying through over lapping zones. One solution is to reduce zone radius so there is no overlap, but this is not always possible, and if you reduce too small, you will see the AI spawn before you which is completely undesirable. You need a large radius to keep spawning objects out of your FOV.

One possible solution would be allowing to select Area shape as ellipse or rectangle, along with X,Y and Z axis sizes. This was possible with Arma III trigger areas. Reducing the height (Y/Green axis) value would allow flying over areas and not triggering them. Additionally adding shape and size functions to triggers would give us the ability to shape the scenario in a more detailed way. You could create GO/NO GO Air Defense zones as well with ability to adjust height of the trigger or area.

Circles are ok, but houses, buildings, and most man made object are square/rectangle. And having the ability to shape an area or trigger to it would be very helpful.

[nova onyx]

Thank you for the feedback, I will look into it .

[bold horizon]

I would love waypoints with moveable splines , making your own shapes etc would be amazing

[fleet harness]

I discovered that two dependent mods cause an error when I run a mission I did in the workshop: NVG System and Ris Laser Attachments

Has anyone experienced lag in the workbench when using the factionmanager_editor?

Once you drag it to the world, everything slows down, and because almost unusable. Mine maybe corrupted or something.

Found this on the wiki... I haven't used it yet.

Prepare Area From Dynamic Despawn

It adds target Area into the Dynamic Spawn/Despawn during runtime.

Getter - Supposed to be a GetArea (see Getters)
Stay Spawned - If set to false, area will be despawned upon activation of this action
Dynamic Despawn Range - How close at least player character must be in order to trigger dynamic spawn/despawn

Remove Area From Dynamic Despawn

It removes target Area from the Dynamic Spawn/Despawn during runtime.

Getter - Supposed to be a GetArea (see Getters)
Stay Spawned - If set to false, area will be despawned upon activation of this action

[grand gull]

I used the Game Mode plugin to create a Game Master scenario, and after scanning my world it says everything is in place ... YET it fails to generate a header file. How do I make such a file?

[bold horizon]

nice info, gonna have to do some reading. does framework run fine in coop with tasks? i know a few things go strange in dedi server

[lean scroll]

absolutely. I use it extensively in my scenarios.

[bold horizon]

awesome,. i was using thre tutorial online when i started using plain gamemode. ive switched to framework now. alot nicer to use for tasks etc

[thin swan]

Is it possible to update task descriptions (that have been created with Scenario Framework) somehow?
edit: there's SCR_ScenarioFrameworkActionChangeTaskState which can be used to change task state but is there something for changing the task's description?

[lean scroll]

1. add a missions folder to your scenario
2. select "Create: Config File"
3. Fill out everything from Player Count up.
   NOTE: You must replace the default Icon, Loading Screen, and Preview Images.

[lean scroll]

What kind of task?

[thin swan]

mm.. any? Since there's different kind of tasks (clear area, defend, move, kill and so on) that all can have custom title and description. To put my question in other words: if I create any task in Workbench and give it a title and a description, can either the title or description (or why not both) be changed during runtime?

[lean scroll]

Yes. Depending on the task. That is why I asked "What kind of task?". The LayerTaskDeliver has it built into the task. Other ones you might have to do some magic with it, like complete the task and create a new one right after with triggers.

[grand gull]

THANK YOU! Did not know I needed a missions-folder. Where does it say that?

[thin swan]

Thanks for the pointer, I'll take a peek to see how it's done in LayerTaskDeliver. Certainly completing the previous task and then instantly creating a new task could be one approach. But afaik that will first display to the players that the (previous) task was completed and then it will right after display that there's a new task available. Desirable approach would be to be able to just update the already available task (or in this casem the task's description) 🙂

[lean scroll]

@grand gull Oh I am pretty sure it says it on the wiki somewhere. But I know from the early days and the youtube videos you have to have a "Missions" folder. Plural.

Does the engine support Dynamic Simulation similar to ArmA 3 - regarding AI?

[dire wing]

no

but the general engine more or less behaves like this, streaming entities and not even propagating them when you are not in 'activation distance'

[uneven laurel]

Has anyone solved this absurd issue?
I'm running a custom scenario, with an official scenario it works.

It seems that there is a replication error but how I can found it?
there is no trace in the log of what goes wrong

@uneven laurel Some questions for you...
Does your custom scenario have mods attached as part of the published scenario? IE Weapons or Vehicle mods.

[uneven laurel]

thanks for your reply..... No, only vanilla part like structures,walls, signs etc etc....To avoid running into issues, I didn't include other mod parts

[lean scroll]

@uneven laurel Very good. Next question...
Do you get the JIP error when running server with just the scenario? No mods. Has that been tested?

[uneven laurel]

Running error both, with mods on server and without mods

[lean scroll]

Ok. Tough problem then. What is the scenario? Available on workshop?

[uneven laurel]

Yes, I can send you details with a direct message if I can

So i had gamemaster for my old map i made , i updated the map but when i load into gamemaster its not updated at all

how do i "update" my gamemaster mod to include the new map

[sand wadi]

Still nothing spawning 😦

[naive pivot]

nvm got it working

[willow portal]

@lean scroll I got your patrol waypoint posts on the forum. curious if you have a sample I could look at it on the workbench...I cant seem to get mine to spawn properly...

[lean scroll]

@willow portal I do not have a sample. Which part can't you get to spawn? The AI or the WP? I would do a direct copy from the SF samples. Also turn off dynamic despawn at the start to test.

[tall horizon]

Is anyone else having a problem with workbench layers disappearing on reload?

[sand wadi]

Your project wont load if you don`t load the same dependancies

[willow portal]

anyone have an idea why when making placing ambientPatrols with waypoints works on Everon and not Kunar despite using the exact same process and settings?

[sand wadi]

I`ve noticed they wont work on some other maps, Made sure navmesh was setup as well

[willow portal]

that's what I figured.

must be the navmesh

[sand wadi]

Has the Map maker made a navmesh for it, Or is it set too just work as a gamemaster version

[willow portal]

seems like there is only a GM version

is that something I can fix or is it up to the map maker?

[naive pivot]

anybody know why my AI would stop working in my map? gamemaster used to let them shoot at each other now they dont

[willow portal]

did you ever get this solved?

[proud vine]

Yes, but unfortunately i don't know how. It suddenly gave me the option after quitting and restarting the tools.

[willow portal]

I figured it out last night. Need to create a missions folder in the mod directory

[proud vine]

Ahh, odd, I wouldve thought I had a missions folder. But it's some while ago. Great that you figured it out though 🙂

[glass pecan]

just asking has anyone run into this? I assume its cause some of the mods have been removed from the workshop. any easy fix or do i have to re-create without the missing mods or can I remove them from the world ?

[thin swan]

Scenario Framework includes actions for locking vehicles: SCR_ScenarioFrameworkActionLockOrUnlockAllTargetVehiclesInTrigger and SCR_ScenarioFrameworkActionLockOrUnlockVehicle.
Only small thing is that those don't seem to have effect on the turret (slot) of the BTR70. The actions lock every other slot (driver, commander and passenger) of the BTR70 but the turret. I was looking to prevent AI from hopping in on the turret when the BTR70 is inside a defend waypoint but of course the turret has to be the only thing where the locking functionality doesn't work.. 🥱

[lean scroll]

I am spawning a group a ussr vehicles at a base. I have a clear task setup. At the completion of the clear task I want to delete all the ussr vehicles and replace them with US vehicles. The US spawn vehicle works perfect.

I can't find a way to delete all the ussr vehicles en mass. I can delete entity, but then I have to create 10 delete entity in each slotcleararea.

Any ideas on how to delete en mass all the slots in an area? GetListEntitiesInTrigger doesn't seem to work.

[thin swan]

You can delete the whole layer (the slots are placed in) with SCR_ScenarioFrameworkGetLayerBase (this meaning that deleting the parent layer will also delete the children)

[lean scroll]

I think I tried that, didn't work. I'll try again different layering.

[thin swan]

Hmm, just today.. or maybe it was already yesterday I managed to create a working solution with SCR_ScenarioFrameworkGetLayerBase. The use case was like this: there's a layer that includes three SlotTriggers that each spawn a trigger. I needed to delete the SlotTriggers at certain point in the scenario and deleting the layer with SCR_ScenarioFrameworkGetLayerBase worked flawlessly.

[lean scroll]

how do you know you deleted the triggers? Show me the set up if you can.
Its not working on physical entities at least at this moment.

Nope no go.

[thin swan]

I had enabled Show Debug Shapes During Runtime for the all the SlotTriggers. Then when the trigger that had the delete entity activated, I could see the debug shapes disappear while in-game

[thin swan]

What is even better that apparently "locking up vehicles" using the actions I mention there means that only players are prevented from getting into the driver, commander and passenger slots. But AI on the other hand can still get into those slots without problems

[lean scroll]

I recreated your trigger and my btr. And it deletes the trigger, but not the btr. IDK.

[nova onyx]

This will delete the layer itself (As this getter will return entity of the layer) but not the entity which it spawned. For that you need to use the GetSpawnedEntity.

[nova onyx]

Reason why it disappeared is that this debug shape is present on that layer and since you deleted it, it disappeared. Debug shape is not actually connected to the trigger at all, it just retrieved the shape radius value to determine how big the sphere will be. The trigger however most likely remained there unless deleted by other means.

But I will think about this particular situation with layer deletion. Right now I would say that if you delete layer or slot, it should also delete everything it spawned and all of the child layers in it (As upon deletion, there is nothing to manage these entities right now), but I will see 🤔.

[thin swan]

Thanks for the insight on the discussed functionality Yethe.
You mention that the trigger "however most likely remained there unless deleted by other means" and I guess that's the thing: I'm not deleting (the three) triggers by any other means as I'm only deleting the parent layer they have been placed on. Now, should the triggers remain (as in the layer they are on won't get deleted), then when triggered they send a Spawn objects 'signal' to another layer that will spawn three US infantry squads on three slots placed elsewhere. But if the layer the triggers are on gets deleted the three US infantry squads won't be able to spawn at all because the triggering won't be able to happen. Why this happens then: like are the triggers actually getting deleted and if not then why they aren't anymore able to send the 'signal' to the layer that spawns the three US infantry squads 🤔

[thin swan]

Well at least there's some way to go around the issue of a vehicle not being locked for AI: it seems that if you spawn a vehicle (that has a turret, like BTR70) or an actual turret (like a machine gun) after init the AI won't "know" about them and thus will leave them unoccupied.

[nova onyx]

This situation could happen if the spawning action is handled by the layer you are deleting —> action will be deleted as well.

[thin swan]

Ahh that's good to know, thanks for clarifying 🙂

[lethal bramble]

Can you disable looting dead bodies in workbench?

[lean scroll]

Is "ON_AREA_TRIGGER_ACTIVATION" not working anymore?

I have a test area setup, and when using this activation it does not spawn objects as it use to. I've turned off dynamic despawn as well to ensure no interference from that.

[nova onyx]

Does you area have a trigger spawned?

(Directly by the area entity itself)

[lean scroll]

no the 2 slots are a M998 and a vehicle service entity.

Thats all in the area.

the only way to spawn the objects is create a slottrigger, and trigger "groomlake".

its as basic a setup as I can get. Area, Layer, Slot.

I've done this hundreds of times. Especially for move task spawning.

[thin swan]

While we're here: what's the difference between ON_TRIGGER_ACTIVATION and ON_AREA_TRIGGER_ACTIVATION? So far I've been using ON_TRIGGER_ACTIVATION where I need to have something spawned via activation of a trigger. As far as I understand that when you create a trigger it has area (the purple dome) nevertheless and that you can resize to your liking. And I use that all the time with ON_TRIGGER_ACTIVATION. What difference is there with ON_AREA_TRIGGER_ACTIVATION??

[nova onyx]

ON_TRIGGER_ACTIVATION - It gets activated from the trigger or actions that are using this activation type to activate it
ON_AREA_TRIGGER_ACTIVATION - It gets activated when the parent area of this layer has trigger and that gets activated

[nova onyx]

This setup looks correct. I will investigate why it might not be working .

[thin swan]

Thanks Yethe. I'm not sure if I understood that entirely but I'll certainly test the AREA_TRIGGER now so that will offer some additional knowledge as well. The thing is I've never understood the reason for the existence of AREA_TRIGGER which has made me to avoid using it completely.

[lean scroll]

I used area trigger like a slot trigger. Small radius, with layers for control. Very powerful, yet simple.

seems to me like something in my mission file is not set up right currently

I cant pplay as character on startup, unless i enter Game MAster and play as character

after that i spawn normally when i die

[merry frost]

I've placed some of the structures that can spawn vehicles in my mission. I have plenty of supplies and if I walk up to the board and select a vehicle to spawn, it'll popup the blue ghost saying its ok to spawn. However, if I hold down the F key, once its completed the action the vehicle doesn't spawn. Is there a bit of logic I need to add to the camp to make it spawn? It's not just the 1 structure either, I have tried the light vehicle, heavy vehicle and helipad ones too

[lean scroll]

@merry frost add "No supply arsenal" mod temporarily to your scenario and try again. See what happens.

Which vehicle depots are you using by name please?

[fathom granite]

Is possible to make bigger the default menu groups? They're limited to 6

[thin swan]

It is possible to adjust the playable slot counts. You need to mod the PlayableGroup.et prefab and switch the default one with the one you modded in SCR_GroupsManagerComponent (found from the GameMode you are using)

[lean scroll]

Or create predefined groups in the faction manager. I made mine fireteam size, but you can make them whatever you want.

[fathom granite]

What do u have on calsign info? The default overrides all i put on predefined groups

[merry frost]

I have lots of supplies, if I took the supplies away it goes red when trying to spawn which is fine. It just says its doing the action and then nothing pops out at the end even though it should do

Also, it's the same with multiple ones, I'll get the exact names later

[lean scroll]

No Supply Arsenal zero's out the values of all items in arsenals. Makes everything free.
Try it, and test. See what happens.

[merry frost]

No no, the arsenal for the players works totally fine, that's what I don't understand, if I take all the supplies away it tells you not enough. I've given it plenty and it'll happily use the default so I just presumed I needed to add something for the vehicle spawning to work

[lean scroll]

oh ok.

[fathom granite]

Thanks, all worked and even better that i was first trying

[merry frost]

this is what I meant - I have supplies, its blue, you hold the action and the bar goes full and then nothing appears

this is based on the scenario framework tutorial with these extra things added

[merry frost]

I guess I have an action somewhere i'm missing or a box to tick to permit spawning?

[fathom granite]

Anyone have any tutorial or documentation about making waypoints?

Waypoints who detect the player when is on the area and something like that

[lean scroll]

@fathom granite More detail about what you want to do please?

[fathom granite]

I'm trying to make a game mode based on the Praire Fire Arma 3 CDLC game mode, where you went in a Helicopter doing transport, cargo, etc., and I don't have much idea about any of those aspects of the world editor

I know that the issue of transporting AI is not going well (they are not mounted on the helo), but I do have ideas to solve that until it is implemented

[lean scroll]

@merry frost I use SF and vehicles depots. Are you placing the depot or using a slot?

[merry frost]

placing the depot from prefab, is that wrong?

I guess I need a slot?

[lean scroll]

@fathom granite What is the problem with ordering AI to get in vehicle? They can't fly it, but you should be able to order them in.

I use the Scenario Framework, so it's Area, Layer, Slots. Anything I want custom like vehicles, AI waypoints, etc, I dupiicate or override to the scenario. Then edit to

Correct.

[merry frost]

yeah, i think I placed them whilst trying to see what was what 😄

I'll give it a quick try

[lean scroll]

Look at the examples found in the base game for sf.

[merry frost]

most stuff is in slots, its basically just those

[fathom granite]

They dont take the order of get in on helos yet

[lean scroll]

hmmmm I just did it in GM, so should be able to order by WP.

[merry frost]

even in the slot it didn't work, same result

[lean scroll]

Hold one.

one sec.... final test.

@fathom granite ok here is the setup.

First when the player enters the dynamic despawn zone, the heli will spawn. When the player walks into the trigger, the AI Group Fireteam will spawn and board the vehicle.

[merry frost]

tried all kinds of things to get this base spawner to actually spawn stuff but nothing seems to work and i can't figure out if its a component i'm missing or something else

[lean scroll]

What game mode do you have in world?

[merry frost]

gamemodesf as per the sf tutorial

like I say it does all the actions up to the actual spawning

[lean scroll]

1. Go to the MP folder, open the combat ops arland world. Find the GameMode Plain, and copy it. Ctrl-C.

2. Open your scenario, and paste it Ctrl-V

Then double check everything I pasted above, and replicate what I did.

[merry frost]

and that allows me to get this buildings to actually work as supply based spawners?

[lean scroll]

thats a start.. may need more work.

[merry frost]

just seems a bit weird to need to do that rather than modifying a component or adding something

like I say, its also weird it does 95% of the action and then just doesn't spawn it

[lean scroll]

Hold one.

Back to Area 51

@merry frost Try this. In object properties for Game Mode, + add component, "SCR_SpawnerRequestComponent"

[merry frost]

Didn't work

I also did the buildingmanager one from conflict but it didn't help either

I thought I might have to do something with "SCR_SupportStationManagerComponent" as that is seemingly inherited by the 3 places I placed down manually

but it only has an enabled tickbox

[lean scroll]

Not sure man. I can drop the entity in whole or use a slot and spawn it. The only thing I am doing is zeroing out all the values.

So my values read 0/0.

[merry frost]

the facility itself shows up though, just never spawns anything from it

[lean scroll]

yea.. that is weird. Does the console log show anything?

[merry frost]

no

[willow portal]

Hello all - does anyone know how to place a ammunition supply point in the mission file for conflict?

[thick kraken]

What's the simplest way to have a US spawn point enable once US forces clear an objective?

[maiden pivot]

SCR_SpawnPoint.SetSpawnPointEnabled_S is the method you are looking for

Or you don't preplace the spawn point and spawn the prefab on demand instead

The latter is actually easier and can also be done with just the scenario framework without additional scripting.

[thick kraken]

Thanks Kex

[sand wadi]

Couldn`t find the waypoints section in fireteam, > Was gonna test it for you 🙂

[lean scroll]

You don't need to set another waypoint if you set "WP To Spawn" to "AIWaypoint_GetInNearest.et".

The AI will get in the nearest. No need to test for me. I was showing @fathom granite how to do it. Thanks though!

[merry frost]

Did anyone manage to figure out how to get the vehicle factories to spawn vehicles despite the ghost or is it potentially a bug I need to report?

[lean scroll]

@sgtcuba does this happen in enfusion workbench as well? Did you publish your scenario? Can I look at it?

[merry frost]

yes, it happens in both. I'll pop the link in later - both me and my friend couldn't spawn on a dedi server

(the mission is unlisted atm)

[humble onyx]

Hi everyone.. I'm new to mission editing and I did a little scenario on Arland. The first task is to go to a village, then the second is to destroy trucks and get involved. I created the tasks as indicated on the reforger wiki but task 1 does not activate. Is there a simple tutorial on the settings to make?

[digital creek]

Are you sure you selected the correct activation type?

[humble onyx]

No. in the first task, I put:
spawnchildren: all
activation type: on task init
is this what should be done?
I see that my first spot appears when the player spawns

[merry frost]

its called "EVO Scenario Test 1" on the workshop

[lean scroll]

@merry frost cool I'll grab it .

[lean scroll]

@humble onyx Open the scenario framework examples in world editor and look how the tasks are setup.

@merry frost First item... your directory structure is incorrect. You must create a folder called "Worlds" and save your world there.

@merry frost

[sand wadi]

Why do AI not follow waypoints on a custom Map 🙂 Copied over the AI / waypoints / cycle etc. from arland map, works fine on there

[thick kraken]

Mine stopped following waypoints after one of the latest updates

Previously worked fine on my custom map and I changed nothing since

[sand wadi]

My other version still works fine, Got a lot of errors for navmesh, bet its that 🙂

Wtf. updated my conflict and terrain from beta to production now and we are stuck loadout. telling I am missing SCR_LoadoutManager, adding this to mission in tools, relaunching..., still same issue. What to do?

Cant spawn in to world

Any quick solution? Have full community waiting to join in..

I need default loadout for all jip players as it was from beta. wft...

[willow portal]

something must be misconfigured

[grand mauve]

why? it worked before they launched the fucking thing

Beta with other words

Ok, need to redo all components then. Sad you cant go forward with missions checking entities and verifying. Now you need to configure all details from scratch.. Not enough free time to this BS..

[willow portal]

I just got in the habit of making my own rollback library after every major change.

been in your shoes pal

[thick kraken]

Fixed mine, navmesh components in SCR_AIWorld had become detached while I was rearranging my folders

[grand mauve]

forgot to add affiliated faction to that new module, works now to choose default loadout.

plz BIS: Inform when stuff changing like this. So irritating...

[sand wadi]

Become detached ?

[thick kraken]

Yeah, it wasn't finding the folder with the navmesh data. Just had to relink the components to the right folder.

[sand wadi]

Just picked a different navmesh and got them too move, He has about 20 navmesh`s 🙂

[thick kraken]

Seems excessive 😅

[sand wadi]

Well. first group i put down is working, but the others won`t move 🙂

[thick kraken]

Maybe give Chewie (the author) a shout if it's still not working, he seems a helpful chap

[sharp raven]

Does anyone know where I can find the faction select along with the player spawn selection

[sharp raven]

Hello so i made some progress and I keep running into this error and can't seem to get around it I just created a new scenario to test things under the conflict name and even the new one gives this error

[sand wadi]

Have spoke to Chewie (Nice chap) I`m wondering if anyone knows if the navmesh would stop the AI from moving to waypoints, Thought it just stopped them walking through walls

[nova onyx]

If navmesh is not properly set, it can hinder AI ability to move - including waypoints.

[tidal hearth]

you will need to add the spawnlogic in the SCR_RespawnSystemComponent inside the gamemode. You need to add the menu spawn logic.

[tidal hearth]

I think this is talking about a missing MapEntity placed in your world.

[sand wadi]

Ahhh. Looks like its which part of the map i place them on, Sometimes they work, Other times they dont

[nova onyx]

If navmesh is set properly, it should work pretty much everywhere (Unless you set the waypoint on top of the tree, under the terrain or some other unreachable places). I would double-check the navmesh. You can also use the debug menu > AI and there you have plenty of waypoint options to see what is the AI situation in your particular case.

[sand wadi]

Hey liking the debug menu :). I have 4 groups, 3 move fine and can see the navmesh covering them, also the red line for movement, But the other group don`t show anything like that, Also, how can i check the navmesh, Also the group that wont move, They coloured frame around them says 1 (blue) and the others say 0 (Green)?

[lean scroll]

I know from my patrol testing, waypoints must be at or slightly above ground surface or the AI won't move, and sometimes won't spawn in.

[nova onyx]

Also the AI category has the navmesh option, definitely chjeck that one as well

[nova onyx]

Yes, that is the case, they have vertical space of cca 2 meters. There will be improvements to waypoints to properly visualize this and improve user-experience for mission makers overall 😅.

[lean scroll]

Nice TY.

[nova onyx]

@lean scroll also as per your deleted message about the TaskClear, that is very strange issue as there were no changes to this in these regards. Do you have FactionKey properly set on SlotClearArea? it is used to convey who should end-up dominant in that area --> clearing the area.

If FactionKey is empty, it takes the US faction key.

[lean scroll]

Ahhhhh I was going to ask about that... wait one.

Yes.... I noticed that in the samples it is blank, and in the combat ops it has US in it. I was wondering about that.

[sand wadi]

I see Navmesh category, Do i just hit Regenerate ?

[lean scroll]

So as the clash says "Should I stay or should I go?"

So for my purpose I use US dominance all the time.

[nova onyx]

You can take a look at the waypoint prefab and put it into the world to see the visualisation.

[nova onyx]

You could, but the process can be a bit more difficult than that. Not sure if we have some guide on a BIKI 😅.

[nova onyx]

I would put the faction key you intend to work with all the time just to be sure. There might be a situation where it could inherit from layers above (As that is how the faction key attribute work unless you have something put there) which might result in a situation where it is not working as you intended in the first place.

[lean scroll]

ok, I do that. Just makes sense. But yea I do have an issue with slots breaking. I deleted my post because I found some work, some don't.

I am getting feedback from server owners that missions aren't completing.

[nova onyx]

I see. If you would be able to determine of what was the issue, please do let me know so I can account for that and perhaps put some user feedback to the console 😅,

[lean scroll]

I will sir 🥃

I don't see anything in the console log real time

[nova onyx]

Also if you would like to debug that particular case, you can open the script editor, then go to SCR_FactionControlTriggerEntity and there is a method OnQueryFinished() where you can put breakpoints and see what might be an issue .

[sand wadi]

Spoke to Chewie who made the map, and says there are some Navmesh bits missing 🙂

[nova onyx]

That will be the reason why it is not working on some locations 😅.

[sand wadi]

Yup, gotta agree 🙂 🙂 🙂 . Will read the biki see if i can fix it

[grand mauve]

Anyone know how to get loadout saving on respawn in conflict to work after the new release? Is it where I set Player loadout in Manager SCR_LoadoutManager?

[sharp raven]

Sorry I hadn't updated my original issue so yea I was using the debug map that why there was that issue but now I'm getting an issue where when I go to pick my faction I cant hit the conteue button it's just greyed out I played around and got it working but I guess what I'm really looking todo is just have the fa ton spawn menu with just the spawn selection I'm not looking to make any objects or anything for the campaign part

[lean scroll]

I don't believe it matters gamemode, but for my loadout(SF Gamemode) I have it set like this...
But you are saying issues after respawn, so maybe different. IDK

[thin swan]

Is it possible to change AI squad formation when using AIWaypoint_ prefabs? At least the prefabs don't seem to include a parameter with which it would be to possible to change the formation..

[tidal hearth]

There is AIFormationComponent on the group prefab.

[thin swan]

Thanks Koutsou. I was aware of that and I should have had mentioned that already in my previous message. Coming from that: I was looking for a way to change the formation on-the-fly (or to put in other words: as the AI group moves from waypoint to waypoint). Seems that currently something like that isn't possible.

[tidal hearth]

I see, yeah i dont think it is possible. Would need to do some scripting to get somethin like this working most likely.

[thin swan]

Yeah, probably like that. Here's hoping that there'll be a native solution to that as well someday.

[tidal hearth]

Not sure what issues it can create but feel free to use it. You define the formation string on the WP prefab, once applied to that group they should take that formation.

removed some debug i added.

[willow portal]

Anyone know if it’s possible to merge conflict game mode with scenario framework entities? I’d like to use areas, layers and slots within my conflict mission. Is that possible?

[tidal hearth]

It should work out of the box. Just add the SF component on your conflict gamemode and you layers and slots will start working.

Also base services spawned with SF will work, once spawned will be registered in the vase, same as if you built them

[willow portal]

So all I need to do is add the component??!

Wow.

[tidal hearth]

I do that to not have to regenerate navmesh, SF regenerated it when spawning compositions

So i can run vanila conflict, add bases to map and not clutter my mod with navmesh. It can add alot of size to mod.

[willow portal]

So only step is add scenario framework component to the game mode?

[tidal hearth]

Yup, if you open CombatOps you will see it is not using any custom gamemode, it has base gamemode, and just the SF component in it.

So conflict gamemode can stay there.

[willow portal]

Thank you for the reply. I’ll take a look tomorrow and see if I can get it working! Very excited to be able to use areas and layers..

[tidal hearth]

No worries. Good luck 🤘

[merry frost]

I couldn't get that bit to actually work for me. I guess I missed something? i spawned them both via a slot and just placed them. Have plenty of supplies and the ghosting goes blue and completes the action but never spawns the vehicles for some reason

[nova onyx]

Right now, Conflict bases cannot be spawned using the ScenarioFramework Slots as Conflict does not support dynamic placement of new bases. All bases need to be setup beforehand. Once Conflict bases will support it, it will work seamlessly with ScenarioFramework out of the box.

But you could mod the Conflict base system so it would allow for dynamic additions/removals tho.

[tidal hearth]

Yup, base would need to be placed normally, but to my experience spawning services works.

[nova onyx]

Yes, services should work dynamically.

[sharp raven]

Just wanted to say thank you for anyone that helped me with the mission I was making I ended up getting all the errors resolved and everything working properly 🙂 next step is the AI

[merry frost]

I couldn't get the ones i placed to work correctly for some reason though, just using the scenario framework though

[tidal hearth]

Do they work if placed normally?

[willow portal]

do you need to add all of the components?

[willow portal]

might need someone to walk me through the components. I just tried and it didnt work 😦

[tidal hearth]

By all the components you mean ? It should be just the SCR_GameModeSFManager

[tidal hearth]

What did you try?

[merry frost]

No, it'll pop the ghost up in blue, complete the action and not spawn them

[willow portal]

lol I tried to add all of the individual area and layer components

[tidal hearth]

Nah, just override the gamemode and add SCR_GameModeSFManager to it. Then place the premade layer/slot/area prefabs from SF

[tidal hearth]

You might need to troubleshoot a bit. Did you try placing some breakpoints on the code of the action?

[pearl wharf]

hello everyone, how can i make missions with the world editor with workshop maps?

[merry frost]

Nope, just dropped the maint facility down as is and provided nearby supplies for it

Happens with the helipad too

Dunno if something else is required in the mission to get it to work. Its based on the sf framework

[tidal hearth]

Do you have the mission somewhere? i could take a look

[merry frost]

The raw file or are you happy with a workshop link?

[tidal hearth]

workshop link is fine. I just want to run the mission in workbench.

[merry frost]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5EE69983FB49BAA7-EVOScenarioTest1

it also fails to spawn the vehicles on a dedi too

I've deleted in that all the other poiints than the light one, but they all did the same so hopefully the fix for one will sort them all out

[tidal hearth]

@merry frost i think you are missing SCR_SpawnerRequestComponent in the player controller you are using. At least thats the first place where the user action fails.

[merry frost]

oh, how did you figure that out? Was there an error it wasn't showing me

which one is the player controller? Is that the gamemode one?

as my gamemode has that component

[tidal hearth]

You can put a break point in script. Once the code reaches the break point the game stops so you can follow the code line by line. You can find the script of the action by right click and Jump To Script Definition .

[tidal hearth]

Yup. Override the one that is plugged in the gamemode

[merry frost]

ok, let me just remember how to do that

[gilded saffron]

Hello everyone!
I want to start game only after some initial tuning phase, but I've encountered some issues on trying to achieve that:

1. There is no mouse cursor to interact with the menu (how to obtain mouse controls?).
2. Player already spawns by, I assume, SCR_AutoSpawnLogic from game mode (how to trigger spawn only by interaction with menu - I already have the code but don't know what should be there - guess I need custom spawn logic and throw "spawn players" event from UI click function)?

[tidal hearth]

Find the DefaultPlayerControllerMP_ScenarioFramework.et , right clich and override to your mod. Then open it and add the component to it. I just tested it, vehicles are spawning normaly now.

[merry frost]

ah ok

[tidal hearth]

I think you will need to create an entry for your menu in chimeraInputCommon.conf to enable the cursor.

To delay the spawn you might have to modify the spawnlogic. So that the function that is called to spawn the player is called when your menu is closed.

[merry frost]

excellent, this worked. Thanks for your help! Its been bugging me for a couple of weeks. I guess just adding it to the default one in game (that the SF auto generates) did nothing?

[tidal hearth]

Wdym the default one?

[merry frost]

when you run the SF template generator, it places the game controller for you. I had that component there but it didn't work until i did the override and added it there instead

[tidal hearth]

Ah, i get what you mean. I guess the base SF controller is based on what combat ops is using, maybe a more basic version of it? Not sure. Maybe thats why. Services are only used in conflict atm.

[merry frost]

makes sense, just weird just putting it there did nothing and you have to do the override. But I guess its something to remember for next time

[tidal hearth]

Always usefull to be able to quickly debug some issue by taking a look in the code and seeing where it fails. There are some stuff here about the script editor. Might be usefull for you in the future. If you scroll all the way down you will find the breakpoints i was telling you about.
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Script_Editor

[gilded saffron]

Yeah, found it - Cursor Visible flag, thank you for advice!

[merry frost]

tbh, i think i've been looking in completely the wrong place for sometime

I assumed it was something with the building prefabs themselves. Wouldn't have guessed to look at the player controller at all

[tidal hearth]

If you are troubleshooting something related to a user action always a good plan to start fromt the user action and seeing what its looking for.

[merry frost]

I suppose I ought to get used to it being attached to the player rather than the building like it would in a3

[dawn dagger]

How would I go about adding a map marker in my scnario that will show on the map for all players? I'm trying to add markers for FIA supply depots around the map.

[willow portal]

you are the man. I finally figured it out. Curious on a different topic if you have any guidance. How would I configure an area to repeat spawn a layer upto 5 times and timing out over 10 seconds? the current settings dont seem to operate intuitively

[gilded saffron]

Hello everyone!
I'm trying to create "players spawn only after host clicks Start Game button on his startup/init menu" functionality, what I need to implement to achieve that? I already have the menu and button click event handler, but don't know how exactly I should, uhh, send the signal to respawn system that players should be spawned?
On my research, I noticed that game mode has undeletable SCR_RespawnSystemComponent, so I guess all spawn things should be done via custom spawn logic.

So, am I right that I need to do custom spawn logic instead of implementing my own respawn system component? What method needs to be called to spawn players?

[idle stone]

working on mission got AIWorld sorted but my AI cant seem to walk around walls or go throuigh doors??

[willow portal]

[sharp raven]

Have you seen ready or nots ai over haul its sick maybe will see something like that in arma 4 one can hope

[willow portal]

Is it possible to have a slotTrigger activate a layer of AI units on repeat while the trigger returns true, and then to stop when trigger is false? It seems that once the AI layer is activated it just keeps going...

[sharp raven]

Was garbage manager removed? I can't seem to find it

[tidal hearth]

It was turned into a system. Its under GarbageSystem now. You can get to it with GetGame().GetWorld().GetGarbageSystem()

[tidal hearth]

I dont think you would need the repeated spawn. That seems to work like you said, once setoff will respawn the stuff based on its timer. You could try having an activation cooldown on the trigger itself, and it will keep activating that layer to spawn stuff untill you leave.

[sharp raven]

I wouldn't know the first thing to scripting so is the system more automatic now? just behind the scenes type thing

[tidal hearth]

Kinda, intead of having to place a garbage manager enity in the world its taken care by the game. The config should exist in Gamemode

[willow portal]

So you’re saying to configure the ai layer to not be on repeat?

[sharp raven]

Oh I see thank you 🙂

[willow portal]

I just ran a few other configurations testing with and without repeat on. seems its all or nothing...

[tidal hearth]

Can you show your trigger and the layer you are using?

[tidal hearth]

In the trigger action point to the SlotAI instead of the layer and set the Activation Type of that SlotAI to On Trigger activation. Enable repeated spawn on SlotAI and set timer and repreated spawn amount to -1. This setup works for me.

It doesent seem to be able to work with layers. The layer has a boolean stopping it from being triggered twice. Even with repeated spawn on.

[crystal yacht]

anyway to get AI to hold their position ingame?

wait, is this where i'd ask for making mission in gamemaster or would that be the gamemaster discussion chat?

[lean scroll]

@crystal yacht As for AI hold position, try the AI_modding channel. I use AIsmart components and .bt's to manipulate AI.

[granite fulcrum]

If you add any buildings, tents or sandbag emplacements to the terrain map then you have to generate a new high res and low res navmesh so the ai know those items are there

[short vapor]

Is there a way to make custom base compositions for conflict, I can't seem to find the config file for it? I have a custom faction armory and field hospital that I want buildable at bases instead of the vanilla compositions

[grave vine]

Hey guys/girls/thems, any of you got a good mission making tutorial videos that are up to date? I've only been able to find ones a year old and a lot of the stuff they explain doesn't exist anymore. Thanks!

[digital creek]

I don't think there are many good YouTube tutorials in general. Most old mission making tutorials were never good to begin with.
I would recommend to instead stick to official documentation like the Wiki.
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Scenario_Framework_Setup_Tutorial

[grave vine]

oh shit I forgor about the wiki, thank you thank you.

[digital creek]

The linked tutorial should teach you the basic idea of how the scenario framework works.
For how to implement more specific things, have a look at the worlds in ArmaReforger/worlds/ScenarioFramework/ - it contains playable examples on how to achieve a wide range of objectives and behaviors.

[grave vine]

Pfft, I got to step 2.3 of the tutorial and got this slapper of a error message.
Any ideas?

nvm I ran a world scan and it seems to have the entities already asigned in the world, not sure if thats as standard now or?

I feel as if there's meant to be something here...

[digital creek]

The good old AIWorld error

Perhaps it will never be fixed

I used to be able to before the supply update, now they're all just generic

The role selection menu does not appear when I start, exactly what is the component to add so that the loadouts and spawns selection screen appears. I have added SCR_RespawnBriefingComponent and SCR_respawnTimerComponent as gamemode components but the loadouts menu still does not appear.

[tidal hearth]

You need Menu spawn logic inside SCR_RespawnSystemCompoent in the gamemode. Maybe that?

[fair nacelle]

this file SpawnPointRequestResultInfoConfig.conf

??

[fair nacelle]

I don't understand what exactly needs to be done to put the spawn logic menu

[tidal hearth]

There should be a component called SCR_RespawnSystemCompoent inside the gamemode. In that you configure a spawn logic. This is how conflict looks.

[fair nacelle]

ok thanks

[grave vine]

I'm currently using the Prefab Faction Manager USvsUSSR, but only want people joining the US (For a Co-op Mission) Is there anyway of just skipping the "Choose faction" part of the menu seeing as I've disabled USSR as 'playable'?

[tidal hearth]

In the faction manager, In each faction the is a tickbox IsPlayable . Should do the thing.

[short vapor]

Nobody?

[gritty vortex]

you can but I don't remember how or where

just look at how existing compositions are setup

[short vapor]

I've copied them all and it still builds the vanilla compositions

doesn't help that there isn't an updated wiki with the new system

[grave vine]

Is it at all possible to assign spawns based on Group?

[rough pivot]

i have a question, i just tried setting up vehicle boardsd as i always have by overriding the vehicle config for the faction and the second i add modded vehicles the entire conflict buy board acts up and wont let you spawn anything. Ive done this without issue before the 1.0 update and it seems like now they just wont work

[grave vine]

ALSO, anyone have any idea why this is happening? (Left in game, assets floating / Right in editor, assests aren't floating as intended)

[willow portal]

Is it possible to remove an object from a map in the world editor?

[maiden pivot]

No, you would need to hard-override the map. Alternatively, you delete it via script when the game mode starts.

[lean scroll]

Check that the added vehicles have the Variant Data is filled out. I was having an issue of the vehicle showing "Blocked" or not in the list at all. Filled out the VD, and it worked.

[rough pivot]

No kidding

Hello Yall, How does someone make compositions?

Im trying to make some for Forged in Eroupe

Did you select the topo file in your map entity?

[grand gull]

Yes.

I exporte this, and selected it in my map entity

How to get the names of audios and music to be able to play them with Scenario Framework?

[sand wadi]

Have u tried putting a .ogg file in, see what happens

[fair nacelle]

I am referring to the audios and music that the game have.

[odd kraken]

Usually sounds are called through names like SOUND_FOREST inside the .acp files, that's how it was for procedural animations, but I can't say if this applies in your case, it's pretty vague.

[fair nacelle]

ok thanks

[gusty oxide]

How do i make it so my map shows up in missions/scenarios or just in game?

[thin swan]

It's possible to play different sounds on mission end with Audio One Shot. So far I've only gotten to know SOUND_ONDEFEAT but for sure would like to get to know what other sounds there are.
Are the different sounds located in one single place? Or to put the question in other words; how to find the different sounds or at least those that can be used?

Hey guys! I have a conflict mode and in my faction manager I added another blufor faction. However since the game mode allows only 1 faction key for BLUFOR if I select at the spawn the other faction it won't let me spawn. Any suggestion how could I make the gamemode key reflect the selected blufor faction in the spawn menu?

[vivid anchor]

2 factions can't have the same key.

[vivid anchor]

In regards to gamemodes, how do i get the correct end game Ui to display? Apparently I'm missing something.

[pure lynx]

Hey Zelik (*sorry Italian mobile keyboard being fancy), yeah ofc however the 2 factions would have different specific keys “US” and “ITA” and would both be part of the wider “BLUFOR”. My point being: if in the faction manager are both allowed for play and registered, how do I make it so that the “GameMode Campaign” dynamically assigns the BLUFOR faction based on what I define inside the game session (if possible at all)?

[jaunty spade]

Hello I am working on some conflict edits and id like to add an action to a specific campaign military base that allows the user to spawn 1 specific thing from the GM lists with a cooldown timer if possible. If anyone is willing to help please shoot me a DM 🙏

[lean scroll]

FYI.... With the new dynamic despawn I've gone over 1000 slotAI for mission. TY BI. Hitting about 25% budget in GM when running.

My biggest problem is the garbage collection doesn't work as well as the .entity one.

[nova onyx]

Thank you .

Could you please elaborate on garbage collector issues?

[lean scroll]

The dead bodies aren't being collected on a dedicated server... I am looking into though. It's not my server so not everything in my control. I'm going to zero out my gc conf and test

[nova onyx]

Make sure that garbage collector config is properly set to clean-up dead bodies. For quicker test results, you can set the time to lower values to see how it is working.

[fair nacelle]

I have created a cooperative mission using scenario framework and it works fine, except that it cannot loggin as admin on the server. In my previous missions I didn't use SF and I didn't have that problem. Could it be that gamemode_SF needs a component to enable it?

[nova onyx]

Highly unlikely that it would be caused by the SF itself as I’m using it on daily basis and I’ve never encountered issue with admin.

Make sure that you have all the required things properly set up both in World Editor (You can get inspired by CombatOps and also try it with the admin as that should work) and also the config on your server, mainly the admin settings.

[fair nacelle]

I have found the problem, I did not have the component loaded: ScriptedChatEntity

thanks

[nova onyx]

👍🏻

[lean scroll]

Start this conversation here, but may need to move it to another channel....

I've been laying land mines, LOTS of land mines, on the dirt roads of Everon. And they work REALLY great. Except one little unintended consequence.

The poor driver who hits the land mine with a vehicle full of troops gets banned from the server for friendly fire. 😂 .

So anyway around that? Anything I can do?

I feel bad, I really do. I don't want people to get banned on servers for normal, to be expected game play. But the land mines are not going away.

[sullen girder]

maybe need spawn marker what is visible only on mine placer side like in A3 red triangles
also later need A3 style "revealmine" script too when AIs will drive...

Im sure BI will do it later but lot of work need on AR

[nova onyx]

That should not be happening. Please create a ticket (unless you've already done so) so we can take a look at it as soon as possible. Thank you .

[lean scroll]

Will do! And to be clear, they are Russian mines used on BLUFOR units. THANKS MAN!

[gusty oxide]

Hey, does anyone know how to make a spawn point, so when i spawn into the map i don't spawn outside the map. also, how do i make it so i can open arma vision? It works in the enfusion editor but once i go into arma i spawn outside the map and can't open arma vison?

[gusty oxide]

I still keep spawning outside the map, and can't open arma vision even though i made a Game master mission?

[wild trellis]

I dont understand how the system budget works. I found a "system" field in the editable prefabs that I assumed would control that prefab's value in the system category, however overriding it to 1 instead of 6 had no effect on the overall system budget in GM. 🤷‍♂️

[gritty vortex]

how much those systems use is defined in their editable entity component

it should work assuming you did an override correctly

[dreamy night]

So, I would like to try something out!

Now ive seen - and know its in gamemode, that you can have a setting that dont start match right away, but you can set like a 2 min delay on the match to start.

Do anyone have any expericence in this area?

[vivid anchor]

SCR_PreGameGameModeComponent or something like that

[wild trellis]

Yeah that's the issue, I assume I did it correctly but when I start the mission, there's no change in the system budget.

[gritty vortex]

Does your override have exactly the same name as the original? Folder path included (except for it being in your mod)

[wild trellis]

Indeed, I've done a lot of overrides before

Maybe there's something in script excluding headquarters buildings from the system budget even though there's a system field in it's editable entity component

[gritty vortex]

Can you screenshot the content of the editable entity component?

[wild trellis]

This is the FIA HQ which in conflict, is all over the map at mission start. Lowered from 6 to 1 and the budget shows no change in GM.

[gritty vortex]

if you set it to 1000 do you see any changes?

[wild trellis]

I'll try that tonight after work, good idea

[pure lynx]

Is there anyone who managed to setup the enfusion persistence framework in their mission? I might have a couple of questions to ask 😊

[vivid anchor]

Yeah I tried to go through their documents but I’m unsure whether I managed to set it up correctly or not. I’m having issues and I’m experimenting a lot. Looks like I’m running in circles, I might need an helping hand 😊

[vivid anchor]

If you followed the directions then it will be set up correctly.

[pure lynx]

I’m actually stuck at the step before, I’m not sure that the db is prepared correctly. I plugged the mod in and tried to look for the way to activate the scripted action to return the success message in the log but without success

[tall horizon]

I have set up a trigger based on the SCR_CharacterTriggerEntity class, it has a box collider and a custom and an On Activate script. (see fig 1 and code below)

` class BASTARDTRIGGER_Class: SCR_CharacterTriggerEntity
{
// user script
// code here
int timesActivated;

override void OnActivate(IEntity ent)1
{
    timesActivated ++;
    //thingPresent = !thingPresent;
    //thingsInTriggerArea = m_aEntitiesInside;
            
    SCR_HintManagerComponent.GetInstance().ShowCustomHint("Trigger set off", "TRIGGER", 3.0);
    
    Print("ITERATION", LogLevel.NORMAL);
    Print(timesActivated, LogLevel.NORMAL);
    Print("Trigger ID", LogLevel.NORMAL);
    Print(ent.GetID(), LogLevel.NORMAL);
    Print("Prefab Data", LogLevel.NORMAL);
    Print(ent.GetPrefabData(), LogLevel.NORMAL);
    
            
    if (m_aEntitiesInside.IsEmpty())
        Print("EMPTY TRIGGER?", LogLevel.NORMAL);
        Print(GetCountInsideTrigger(), LogLevel.NORMAL);
        Print("NUMBER OF PREFAB FILTERS", LogLevel.NORMAL);
        Print(m_aPrefabFilter.Count(), LogLevel.NORMAL);
                
    
    foreach (IEntity entityInside : m_aEntitiesInside)
    {
        Print("A THING IN THE TRIGGER AREA", LogLevel.NORMAL);
    }
}

};`

(See figs 2 and 3 for the workbench settings for the trigger)

Inside the trigger area I have placed 3 vehicles and two AK74s. (see fig 4)

Having noticed that "m_aEntitiesInside" was always empty when the trigger is activated I tried "GetCountInsideTrigger()". I expected the trigger to be activated once by each item and print a value of 6, counting the three vehicles and three AK74s including the one carried by the character.

Instead, on load the trigger activated twice citing the AK74s on the ground as the cause. Both times GetCountInsideTrigger() returned 0. (Fig 5).

If I walk into the trigger it activates due to the carried AK74 but again returns 0 from GetCountInsideTrigger().
If I get into one of the vehicles it activates the trigger, still showing 0. (fig 6)

I am clearly misunderstanding something, is there a proper way to aquire a list of things in an area that I've missed? I'm not really a coder so I'm kind of brute forcing my way through the code naievely, if you have any suggestions on how to approach learning about triggers I'd be greatful.

[wild trellis]

thats a big negative on the change to 1000, no change in system budget %.

[thin swan]

With Scenario Framework what might be a working solution to get a trigger to trigger when there is no players inside (the trigger)? For an example's sake let's say that all the players get killed (while inside the trigger) and this should work as the triggering condition.
I've been tinkering with Scenario Framework's LogicCounter and LogicSwitch prefabs but can't seem to come up with a working solution.

[vivid anchor]

In your case querying for dead players is the solution. If all players inside = dead run "Trigger" function.

[thin swan]

Any pointers to give on how to do something like that using Scenario Framework? Sure there is for example the SlotTrigger prefab but all I'm seeing that it's only possible to query for alive players (or 'any character'). No idea how to turn that specific prefab to query for dead players or 'any characters'

[vivid anchor]

I've not messed with Scenario Framework unfortunately.

[vivid anchor]

It seems to use SCR_CharacterTriggerEntity

[gusty oxide]

Hey when making the Mission Header, where it says "world" on top ,do i select the GM file or the map file.

[gilded saffron]

Is there something like GetIn event handler for vehicle? I want to execute code when someone boards the vehicle

[gilded gorge]

Here is an example for you from the wiki:

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Capture_%26_Hold_Setup#Scenario_Header

[gritty vortex]

there is a OnCompartmentEntered event I believe

[gilded saffron]

yeah, here it is, thank you for advice! 🙃

[spiral coral]

SCR_CompartmentAccessComponent may also be useful I mod it for some usecases

[nova onyx]

Hi. You could use the similar setup we also use in CombatOps on Arland where we are using LogicCounter (You can search for it in world editor to see the setup - LogicCounter_3) that is using the Input from a trigger and then if there are less than 2 entities (Which are further filtered by the trigger itself so you need to set that one as well) it will perform actions that are defined in OnActivate.

[dreamy night]

can anyone tell me, why - if I have radio connection I get that "non" connection sign?

[dawn dagger]

Check the bases between this one and hq. One of them might be missing the connection, making it so this base can't reach all the way back to hq.

[sharp swan]

is it possible to associate a loadout with more than one team?

@sharp swan Loadouts are character based. IE AR on Alpha team. AR on Bravo team. Same loadout for each character.

I am trying to create a "Invade and Annex" style marker that fills a grid square.
Right now I am using the SCR_MapDescriptor component, but it is very limited, and doesn't seem to function as expected. Scale doesn't work so can't increase the size, and rotation doesn't work either.

Anyone try this or have any ideas?

[gilded saffron]

Search for CreateCustomMapItem in BI files (SCR_MapDescriptorManualCameraComponent.c), it will lead you to something like A3-style marker creation system, it's a bit crude and probably not recommended by BI (as it seems that they use map descriptor system), but it works for me:

override void EOnInit(IEntity owner)
{
    super.EOnInit(owner);

    m_MapEntity = SCR_MapEntity.GetMapInstance();
    if (!m_MapEntity)
        return;

    if (!m_ItemDef || m_ItemDef == string.Empty)
        return;

    m_MapItem = m_MapEntity.CreateCustomMapItem();
    m_MapItem.SetBaseType(0); //important and making modded enum for location type doesn't work
    m_MapItem.SetImageDef(m_ItemDef);

    vector transform[4];
    owner.GetTransform(transform);
    m_MapItem.SetPos(transform[3][0], transform[3][2]);

    MapDescriptorProps props = m_MapItem.GetProps();
    props.SetFrontColor(m_ItemColor);
    props.SetOutlineColor(m_ItemColor);
    props.SetIconSize(m_fScale, m_fScale, m_fScale);
    props.Activate(true);

    m_MapItem.SetProps(props);
}

Does anyone know how to check if vehicle is occupied/has passengers?

[tidal hearth]

Try looking for the BaseCompartmentManagerComponent on the vehicle, from that you can call GetCompartments to get the seats, then iterate though them and check the IsOccupied bool to see wich ones are occupied.

[gilded saffron]

yeah, seems to be it, thank you for suggestion!

[maiden pivot]

Map descriptors, which are based on MapItem, are not suitable for creating area markers. I recommend the PolygonDrawCommand instead.

[gilded saffron]

Is it possible remove/hide default world objects? They're locked entities even when you have subworld.

[maiden pivot]

You can only delete them with scripts. There's also the SCR_PrefabDeleterEntity that can be placed that deletes all objects within a specified radius.

[gilded saffron]

Thank you for advice!
So, it’s just like Arma 3 then
I feel like it was possible to modify vanilla worlds on Reforger’s release (I saw youtube video with some guy doing it), but later it was removed for some reason.

[bold horizon]

anyone know of any mods that skips the radio backpack and you can just spawn on team players?

[maiden pivot]

Not aware of any mods, but it's fairly easy to set up. The game mode entity just needs a properly configured SCR_PlayerSpawnPointManagerComponent.

[bold horizon]

ah sweet

new to changing most stuff but catching on fast using the framework

ill look for that component

[gilded saffron]

SCR_SpawnPoint has built-in non-disableable search for empty terrain position on spawn.

void GetPositionAndRotation(out vector pos, out vector rot)
{
...
        if (m_aChildren.Count() > 1)
    {
        int id = m_aChildren.GetRandomIndex();
        SCR_WorldTools.FindEmptyTerrainPosition(pos, m_aChildren[id].GetOrigin(), GetSpawnRadius());
        rot = m_aChildren[id].GetAngles();
    }
    else
    {
        SCR_WorldTools.FindEmptyTerrainPosition(pos, GetOrigin(), GetSpawnRadius());
        rot = GetAngles();
    }
}

Obviously, it works wonky inside buildings as FindEmptyTerrainPosition doesn't take building interiors into account. If I disable it (by setting 0 spawn radius), players will spawn colliding into each other. Is there any mechanism to find viable empty spawn position inside building?

[tidal hearth]

Conflict has something like that, you can spawn on random bunker etc.. in the base. Those locations have to be defined tho, so not completely dynamic like the one above.

There is also GetClosestPositionOnNavmesh you could experiment with, assuming buildings have navmesh it should work.

[dreamy night]

But what config is it in? As I would like to override it 🙂

[nova onyx]

Currently it is in the layout itself.

[dreamy night]

Ok..

[lean scroll]

@dreamy night There are 2 .layout files you have to override and edit. Search loadout and .layout

Do anyone know, what a players has to do, to get this XP

There seems to be an evacuation task for conflict wich is not used, maybe not finished. Check SCR_EvacuateTaskSupportEntity i think its refering to this task.

[lean scroll]

Request: Create a SCR_ScenarioFrameworkActionSpawnRandomObjectFromList.
For example, pick a subset of tasks from a layer of tasks. For example, Layer 1 with 26 tasks, A - Z. Need to pick random one from tasks D, H, O, X, using a logic counter or trigger.
This would be similar to Spawn Closest Object From List.

[nova onyx]

I will look into it .

[thin swan]

Anyone else have issue with Scenario Framework that on dedicated server Layers spawn only one of the objects even if there's multiple Slots (with different objects declared in them) under the Layer? There's also a catch that when testing the spawning of the objects via Workbench, all the are spawned

[lean scroll]

Post your hierarchy for us.

I do this in the starting spawn point all the time.

slot for arsenal, slot for spawn point all under one layer.

[thin swan]

Need a screenshot or would this do:

Area
 Layer
  Slot1
  Slot2

Nothing special in my opinion but for some reason the object in "Slot2" isn't spawning (on dedicated) but does spawn when testing in Workbench

[lean scroll]

what is it?

what is slot 1 as well

[thin swan]

Slot1 has Tripod_6T5_PKM and Slot2 has TableWorkshop_01_short

[lean scroll]

Ah yes I have seen this! I try to spawn a picnic table and same thing.

[thin swan]

😄

What might the reason be 🤔

I'm just saying that the TableWorkshop_01_short spawns when testing via Workbench

[lean scroll]

yes true. wait one.

ok.

So drop in a TableMilitary and TableWorkshop directly on the world, and then look at the object properties.

https://tenor.com/view/one-of-these-things-is-not-like-the-others-the-pet-collective-pig-pug-dog-gif-16930012

[thin swan]

I'm not instantly seeing the difference there well other than that TableMilitary has Placement drop-down. But what that has got to do with anything guhh and why doesn't that old-timey table just spawn on dedicated. I just want to have makeshift placements for weapons 😬

[lean scroll]

wait one....

Military Table

worktable

[thin swan]

Yup saw those. What if you just enable those disabled components 🤔

[lean scroll]

Replication component (RplComponent) must be enabled to see an object in a dedicated server environment.

[thin swan]

I'll test that right away!

[lean scroll]

you must create a duplicate or override of that object, and edit prefab

Set Rpl State Override to runtime

[thin swan]

Thanks for sharing about the RplComponent. Didn't have any idea that what it is but now I know 🙂

[lean scroll]

I believe it replicates objects from server to client or vise versa.

[thin swan]

You have probably tested that this needs to be set? I'm just looking at the TableMilitary and it does not have Rpl State Override set to Runtime

[lean scroll]

wait one.

Just lost my power and my internet crap!

[thin swan]

Ouch 😮

[lean scroll]

Test both ways on and off

Mine is on

[thin swan]

Will test multiple different objects with off. I'll report back (soonish)

[lean scroll]

up and running... whew.

[thin swan]

My testing showed that only enabling the RplComponent for the entity in question is enough to make it appear on dedicated. So at least in this particular case there's no need to set Rpl State Override to Runtime

[lean scroll]

cool. Good stuff.

Out of the gate...

[livid acorn]

does anyone know if there is setting were i can adjust at what range ai spawn ?
i seem to be having issues making them spawn close to my conflictmilitarybase

[livid acorn]

im using the ambientspawner prefab btw

[tidal hearth]

You will need some scripting, it seems those values werent exported as Attributes so cant be modified from editor.

They exist in SCR_AmbientPatrolManager . Thats is where the checks for player distance are done.

[livid acorn]

thanks bro exactly what i needed 👌

works as i want now

[gilded saffron]

I recently found out that you need to at very least partially regenerate navmesh if you put some new buildings and other static things on a terrain. But what about dynamic content?
For example, I spawn small dynamic roadblocks, outposts and various other Conflict-custom building-sized things with AI guys standing or patrolling near them as players moves around the island. Will AI units be able to handle that or they will act as nothing was placed there (as navmesh doesn't know about runtime spawned buildings)? Are BI themselves doing anything about (since there is dynamic content too in both combat ops and conflict)?

[tidal hearth]

Navmesh is rebuilt for certain stuff. I think scenario framework is doing it for the stuff its spawning. There is RequestNavmeshRebuildEntity in AIworld that is used for that i'm pretty sure. You feed in the entity you just spawned.

[gilded saffron]

Thanks for guidance again!
I wonder if I'll be able just using by feeding my spawned entity to it

I'm not using scenario framework stuff, but seems that API is pretty simple, so I can just add it to my entity spawn mechanism without any hassle.

[tidal hearth]

It should work, you can enable visualisation of navmesh through cheat menu in editor to see if it works.

[gilded saffron]

Hmmm, how to activate it?

I only know a couple debug hotkeys atm 😅

[tidal hearth]

press windows key + alt while in world editor and you will see it.

[gilded saffron]

yup, RequestNavmeshRebuildEntity works just fine 🙃
I only don't know how to properly flatten navmesh after composition despawn, so I just locally spawn dummy object to call RequestNavmeshRebuildEntity on it so it will return navmesh back

[tidal hearth]

Check the Delete function inside SCR_EditableEntityComponent to see, you will need to get its areas before deleting, and using the RequestNavmeshRebuildAreas function instead.

[gilded saffron]

Yeah, it works:

SCR_AIWorld aiWorld = SCR_AIWorld.Cast(GetGame().GetAIWorld());
if (aiWorld)
{
    array<ref Tuple2<vector, vector>> areas = {}; // min, max
    array<bool> redoAreas = {};
    aiWorld.GetNavmeshRebuildAreas(m_Composition, areas, redoAreas);
    GetGame().GetCallqueue().CallLater(aiWorld.RequestNavmeshRebuildAreas, 1000, false, areas, redoAreas); //--- Called *before* the entity is deleted with a delay, ensures the regeneration doesn't accidentaly get anything from the entity
}
        
SCR_EntityHelper.DeleteEntityAndChildren(m_Composition);

I noticed that if you spawn compositions via SpawnEntityPrefab, entities that have no RplComponent will be not visible on client machines. This is especially noticeable when you spawn building compositions which has a lot of decorative entities without functionality thus no RplComponent.
What's the proper way to spawn compositions in multiplayer-friendly way? Or I should just add RplComponent to everything in this case?

[gilded saffron]

Also, how to align dynamically spawned composition to terrain? Tried to use SCR_EntityHelper.SnapToGround to no avail.

[gilded saffron]

Found the SCR_TerrainHelper.SnapAndOrientToTerrain helper method, but still can't make it work properly - items on table and radio tower snaps to terrain too (and I don't need it), and this is not the case when you do it, for example, via Game Master in-game.

EntitySpawnParams spawnParams();
spawnParams.TransformMode = ETransformMode.WORLD;
spawnParams.Transform = transform;

IEntity composition = GetGame().SpawnEntityPrefab(Resource.Load(prefab), params: spawnParams);

array<IEntity> subEntities = {};
//gets all children with Hierarchy component
ESCT_Misc.GetAllChildren(composition, subEntities);
vector transform[4];
        
composition.GetTransform(transform);
SCR_TerrainHelper.SnapAndOrientToTerrain(transform);
composition.SetTransform(transform);
        
foreach (IEntity subEntity : subEntities)
{
    subEntity.GetTransform(transform);
    SCR_TerrainHelper.SnapAndOrientToTerrain(transform);
    subEntity.SetTransform(transform);
}

So, I'm essentially trying to emulate Game Master placement via code and don't know how to do it properly. 🙃

[bold fractal]

Ya'll know the slot system? The circles? I placed one down, so I could gauge the size of the composition as I make it. However, things are snapping to the circle model. Is there a way for it to snap to the ground instead?
Towards the center of the circle things snap to ground. It's just a wee bit frustrating... I tried moving the slot's Y axis but it snaps to the same height

I just want to make my composition, use this as a guide - but not have it block placement of things

oh wait nvm, there's an empty version that works better..... easy workaround

[bold fractal]

I realize children of a composition need a hierarchy component in order to be oriented to terrain properly. Why can't I just add the hierarchy component to the root and call it a day? It's tedious having to check every single thing for this component, since a select all -> add component only adds it to the last item selected

[livid acorn]

in my mission i enabled -LoadSessionSave me personaly i run this from a shortcut an use that parameter there

does any one know if there is another way to do this when youre server provider doesnt provide acces to startup parameters ?

someone asked me and i dont know myself

[gritty vortex]

Until this can be configured in server config you'll just need to find a provider that has the option (one of them is run by a guy with name starting with b)

It is difficult to add music to play at a certain time in a mission, I don't even know where to start..

[digital creek]

Have a look at the MusicManager

It has a "Play" method

You can also play sounds in other ways, but that's probably the most fitting one

[fair nacelle]

Thanks, I'll take a look and see how it works.

Has anyone else been experiencing issue (when creating a scenario in Workbench) with not being able to place AI units on building roofs because they will only end up in the bottom floor of said building?

[thin swan]

Ahhh, group prefabs include Snap to Terrain which can be enabled/disabled. When that is disabled the characters will spawn on the set height instead.

Now i can continue to add assets one by one from RHS inside my Arsenal 🤣

[muted scroll]

You can create a sub scene of Everon with Eden.ent Save it. and load the CTI_Campaign_Eden.ent Copy all entity from them. Reload you sub scene and past at same position. And with all of that you have a copy of vanilla everon

[wild trellis]

Yes, you need to edit your groups, there's a check box for that in your group prefabs. Don't know when they changed that but it would have been nice to have the old method as default instead of surprising us with the new change.

Something like align to surface

Is it possible to make a door prefab open up/down instead of the usual left/right? Just rotating the door doesn't seem to do anything: the door will still open to its 'usual' direction even if it's rotated into horizontal position.

[vivid anchor]

Screenshots or something, for clarification

[thin swan]

Here's a door (or to be specific, a hatch prefab HatchDoor_HarborCrane_RIGHT_EXT_COV_B) with normal direction of rotation. The hinges of the hatch can be seen on the left edge.

I was looking to get such "door" prefab to open up/down instead of the normal direction of rotation.

As it turned out just rotating the door into horizontal position wasn't the answer: the door still opens to the same direction as if it still was placed vertically.

So the question was and still is that if such door prefabs could be made to open up/down. Or is this stuff in the model itself and as such there is no way to directly affect the door rotation direction via the prefab?

[vivid anchor]

I guess you'd need a custom component

[thin swan]

Hmm, well. Don't have much idea how those components are created in the first place. Probably requires some scripting on the side(?)

[gritty vortex]

there's a ceiling hatch door on the HQ buildings, it moves up and down

I don't know how to best implement them, but script wise, there's SCR_FadeInOutEffect. Possibly a good starting point if you want to look into the topic.

[slate garnet]

Legend, I must have missed this.

All I needed was a place to start, I can probably figure it out from there. If I discover how to get it working I'll share the info.

[jaunty fern]

Is there a way to make arsenal boxes only accessible to members of it's affiliated faction?

The vehicle depots are set this way by default, but the arsenal boxes can be accessed by everyone, regardless of what the SCR_FactionAffiliationComponent is set to.
The SCR_ResupplySupportStationComponent has an attribute called 'Faction Usage Check', but changing the checkboxes there doesn't seem to do anything.
I'm not sure how the vehicle depot checks the players faction affiliation, it doesn't have a SCR_ResupplySupportStationComponent, it must be based off the SCR_FactionAffiliationComponent?
I thought maybe it had something to do with the character's FactionAffiliationComponent, but changing that class to SCR_FactionAffiliationComponent does nothing, and changing it to SCR_PlayerFactionAffiliationComponent gives me a virtual machine error because it is not attached to a PlayerController.

It's probably something I'm just overlooking, any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂.

[livid acorn]

the faction affiliate in the arsenal boxes determines wich items from wich faction to show in them not who can open them i believe

[jaunty fern]

Correct. I can't seem to find the component that determines who can open them.

[jade herald]

Hello, this seems like very stupid question but I can't for the love of god find an answer: Is there any way to start the game with my yet unpublished mod enabled?
I've followed following tutorial: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Capture_%26_Hold_Setup
Then I've launched the game and the mod is not listed anywhere. I've tried to launch the game with -profile ArmaReforgerWorkbench but it's still not there

[livid acorn]

so there are a few ways

• u can publish the mod privately (will not show in the workshop u need to use the id to get it to load on youre server )
• u can run a server / client test from inside reforger workbench ( i believe u need peer tool for this )

i think one of these 2 options will solve youre issue

for me publishing privately makes the most sense but i gues everyone has it preferences

[jade herald]

thanks for the info, I just thought there is a way to do this without publishing due to this section in the tutorial:

[livid acorn]

there is a way without publishing its either the peer tool or just the normal play button in editor also works

u just want to test the scenario use the play button above the viewport its the fastest one

but for me im also testing some saving capabilities and found it easiest to upload a private mod for that

[livid acorn]

in this case i believe the mod needs to be uploaded to the workshop for testing ingame from scenarios

please correct me if im wrong anybody

[jade herald]

thanks for the help! I'll just do it through the workshop. I'll do most testing using the play mode, I just wanted to see how the mission looks ingame

[wild trellis]

There is also the -server/-client option: #enfusion_generic message

[teal topaz]

A trick you can use to achieve the goal you want is to have an invisible root entity to move the door from being global to local for rotation this will achieve your goal, had a similar issue with doors that wanted to open the same way regardless of rotation due to how the rotation is limited to one axis

[brave plover]

I have a Game Master scenario embedded with my terrain. When I downloaded my terrain from the workshop, the scenario didn't show up. I then closed Reforger, re-opened it, and my mission was now in the Scenarios window. I played around with it for a while, closed it, and went back to Scenarios and it was gone again. I closed Reforger, re-opened it, and it reappeared. Any thoughts on what might be causing that?

Edit: Nevermind. Seems to have been a problem with loading the mission via workshop and launch parameters... maybe?

sorry if this is a dumb question but: I have a custom conflict scenario, and Ive added some mods, how do i add items (weapons) from those mods into the Arsenal crates (at the Ammunition Depots) for existing factions in Conflict gamemode (and whitelist them for saving to loadout)? Also curious how to add mod vehicles into the vehicle depot menus in Conflict as well?

I'm currently working on a conflict mission. I'm almost done so I published my first version yesterday. To my suprise enven if in the workbench everything works fine when I test, I have no AI spawning in the published version. Any one ever got this problem?

[vivid anchor]

@slate badge Use the search function, iirc a few people have had that problem and the fix is somewhere on this discord lol

[slate badge]

I always forget about the search function LoL

[compact oracle]

tried searching for an answer to this one but havent found a way yet :/

[thin swan]

Am using Scenario Framework's SlotTrigger and wondering here one thing: I have selected SPECIFIC_PREFAB_NAME as Activation Presence and then BTR70.et as the prefab that I want to act as the triggering entity.
Why does the trigger activate from player character as well or what am I missing here? Shouldn't it only trigger from the BTR70 that I have set in the trigger's parameters?

[nova onyx]

ChimeraCharacter is added in the trigger prefab itself and triggers work using the OR logic. Check the prefab the SlotTrigger is using and adjust it.

Best course of action for you would be to create your own Prefab of the SCR_CharacterTriggerEntity and leave the Classes Filter empty so you can then manage these directly on the SlotTrigger.

[thin swan]

Thanks for the pointer Yethe. The SlotTrigger is using TriggerCharacterSlow prefab. I duplicated that to my scenario and adjusted the duplicated version by emptying the Classes filter (basically deleted the SCR_ChimeraCharacter). Then I applied the modded prefab to the SlotTrigger.
Now when testing the trigger seem to trigger basically without anyone or anything even actually triggering them 🤔

I also added the BTR70 to the TriggerCharacterSlow prefab directly but that wasn't much of help

[nova onyx]

That should not be possible. It should be triggered only if entity that is in the filter is present in the trigger 🤔.

[thin swan]

That's what I'm currently seeing though

[nova onyx]

Could you record me your setup on video (Going through the trigger prefab, SlotTrigger and the "how you know the trigger is being triggered") and send it to my DMs please?

[thin swan]

Will try to do that but in earliest tomorrow (as in starting 16 hours from now)

[dreamy night]

@nova onyx Do you know how this works? -> #enfusion_scenario message

[thin swan]

I was coming up with a recording and during that happened to test one thing.
To recap from yesterday: I was using a TriggerCharacterSlow prefab (from where I had removed SCR_ChimeraCharacter from the Classes filter) in a SlotTrigger. This in turn had the effect that the trigger in question started to activate on its own. Now, while I was recording, I did some additional changes in the modified TriggerCharacterSlow prefab. In the prefab I set Activation Presence to SPECIFIC_PREFAB_NAME and then added BTR70 prefab in the Prefabs filter. After doing those changes the trigger doesn't activate on its own anymore and also only gets triggered from the presence of a BTR-70.
Concluding from that it seems that the TriggerCharacterSlow prefab has to have some filter applied to it, otherwise it will get activated on its own.
edit: I just noticed that TriggerCharacterSlow prefab has the option to filter with (Entity) Names, (Class/Classes) Names and Prefab/Prefabs under Trigger and Unsorted sections. Slightly gives the feeling that things are starting to get tad complicated for regular user..
edit2: and mind you, I actually initially/yesterday had BTR70.et prefab applied into the Prefab Filter that's under Trigger section of TriggerCharacterSlow prefab but that did not even work. The BTR70.et prefab had to be applied to the Prefabs Filter that's under Unsorted section for the trigger to work correctly..

[golden basalt]

Under the "mods" tab after you start hosting you can go into the mods tab and tell it the mods you want to run in parallel. If the mods work fine they will automatically show in the places you expect them (special weapons in weapon crate etc...)

[livid acorn]

sorry to have to say but no not everything will automagicly show specialy vehicles will not

weapons will only show for a specific faction

and saving them is an entirely different ball game

you probably need to make a mod for it i have a vehicle changer mod on workshop wich you can spy from how i did it

Im actually hosting a dedicated server, but good to know that the modded weapons should just be showing up by default, im guessing something is wrong with the mods themselves then. thanks for the response!

[compact oracle]

So i just tried again, i removed the custom _InventoryItems.conf files I had for each faction, and loaded up the mods and started the server with them, and still I dont see any modded weapons or vehicles available in the Conflict mode for either faction. Yet, when I go into GameMaster, i can see all the modded items in the Entity Browser. Don't I have to create entries in the _InventoryItems.conf for each faction in order to add all the modded items in there? Does anyone know how to do this?

I tried adding an entry into the USSR_InventoryItems.conf for the Sloth AK-47 mod, just 2 entries, but they still dont show in the Arsenal for the USSR faction in Conflict 😦

[golden basalt]

I dont know if the process is different but the quick way to check is to host a session and do the mod imports from there. Be mindful of any preloaded mods you already have set in the background for yourself for they might cause issue.

[lean scroll]

I always check mods 3 ways... GM, Locally Host, then push to dedicated. And even though it works on the first 2 methods, still have issues with dedicated environment. And then most likely the problem is replication.

[slate badge]

Trying to play my conflict mission with mods like RHS Status quo or Mattock weapons but they appear in the arsenals. (CEN, betterInventory an others are working) do I have to add them to the mission prior to publishing? I was able to use Mattock on another mission before.

[livid acorn]

mattock weapons should just work atleast in my conflict scenario they work without prior settings done in scenario i dont even use them as dependencir

[slate badge]

Yeah Thats what I saw with another conflict mission so thts why I find it odd

[visual vale]

Depends what Arsenal you use
RHS' weapons dont show up in the US and USSR arsenals, they show up in the USMC and MSV arsenals that come with the mod

Unless you add those arsenals to your mission, and remove faction locking saved items to your loadout, youll have to manually add every single item to the arsenals you want them to go in
(VZ 52 to FIA, M27 to US, AN-94 to USSR, so on)

[lean scroll]

You can move items from one arsenal to another by copying the entire category from one entity catalog to the other entity catalog. IE RHS USMC Equipment to US Equipment.

[slate badge]

The video I was looking to make my conflict mission mentionned a garbageManager.et (or campaignGarbageManager) and I can't find it in Enfusion. I found CampaignGarbageSystem.conf while I was searching. 1. Does this file replace the manager? and 2.if so do I copy this file anywhere in my mission if I want to modify it?

[jaunty fern]

Yes the garbage manager entity was replaced with a config file in one of the updates. Just override or duplicate it to your addon and make sure it is called in the gamemode entity of your world.

[slate badge]

thanks I'll try to figure out how to do that tomorroww

[jaunty fern]

No problem. I am also in the process of creating a custom scenario so if you need help with anything else lmk 🙂

[compact oracle]

@lilac dagger Thank you for this info, that was extremely helpful. do either of you guys know how to disable the faction locking saved items to your loadout? or add items to the "allow" list?

[visual vale]

Move them from one arsenal to the other

Or add them to the arsenal if theyre not present in general

[compact oracle]

Do you mean, add them Configs\EntityCatalog\US_InventoryItems.conf ? or some other place?

[visual vale]

Yes

[jaunty fern]

I believe there is an easier way of achieving this however I haven't tested it.
In the ArsenalComponent there is an attribute called Arsenal Save Type. You can change the value of this to NO_RESTRICTIONS, that should work.

[visual vale]

That's for removing all restrictions, can have adverse effects on gameplay in a PvP sense

Namely, people looting and saving enemy kits

[jaunty fern]

Right, in that case it would be better to just add the items you want the other team to have to the Entity Catalog.

[raw bone]

Please, no body?

[muted scroll]

I think you can modifiy your prefab by override to make the range you want. Or maybe create a new prefab only for the HQ Base

Just a heads up, in the current experimental they rolled back to the old garbage manager, not using the config file. If there is an experimental release out, Imho it's best to switch to developing on exp branch. @slate badge

Is it possible to save an ongoing PVE campaign?

[slate badge]

You have to check the box in your mission config file if it's ongoing, with game master if the scenario allows it

[lean scroll]

Ah cool! And where is the save file located after a save?

Oh, is it just these:

[slate badge]

To my knowledge, in my case C:\ReforgerServer\saves\profile.save\sessions where ReforgerServer i s the server folder. the file should be something like Conflict_Evferon_US.a.auto.json where a is the incrememtal number

[slate badge]

yes and the folder next to it is to load

[lean scroll]

@slate badge Got it! Many thanks man!

Where can it be changed that for example BTR70.et (prefab) would inherit from other than the default BTR70_base.et (prefab)? Or is it even possible to change that?

[shrewd zodiac]

Hello guys i need solution for configuration navmesh thanks all

[thin swan]

Thanks for the pointer. With that I tidbit I was able to achieve what I was looking to: as in, I got to change the prefab the BTR70 is inheriting from.

This is how I did it: I duplicated the original BTR70.et and BTR70_Base.et prefabs into the scenario I was building. This created two .et -files that can be opened with a text editor. After that I made the changes I needed to do into the duplicated BTR70_Base prefab and then changed the path in the duplicated BTR70's .et-file to point to the modified BTR70_Base prefab.
This is how the inherit is shown in the (duplicated) BTR70.et -file when it's still pointing to the prefab it is inheriting from by default Vehicle : "{1C5FE7B7FF49BB8D}Prefabs/Vehicles/Wheeled/BTR70/BTR70_Base.et" {

Ok, im new to Arma.R but have many hours in ARMA 2 and 3
So, im trying to create a conflict modet on the map "Everon Xtra"
The only mission type i can find is Game Master for that map... Is it doable to create a Conflict type mission within the Game Master mode ingame? Or do i have to Learn/Use the editor?

[muted scroll]

You need to use the Workbench. It's the Best way to make good things

[raw bone]

Please, i need help.
I've already searched a lot, but I can't find the solution to my problem.
I I don't have an AI that spawns at the start of my mission from the workshop, although they spawn without problem when I launch my mission with the world editor.

InitEntities 'world'
ENTITY : Init entity @"ENTITY:..." ('CampaignTaskManager', SCR_BaseTaskManager) at <0.000000 0.000000 0.000000> @"{17E3EF2CF455460F}Prefabs/MP/Campaign/CampaignTaskManager.et"
SCRIPT (W): No entry in CimeraInputCommon.conf for input action: TasksExpand ! Check 'Input Action' textbox in SCR_InputbuttonComponent!

Anyone have an idea?

[charred wasp]

It just tells you that "TasksExpand" is not attached to a Key-Input and can be ignored

[raw bone]

Thank you for answer.
But, I don't know why my AI doesn't spawn in my workshop conflict mission.

[raw bone]

The link to my mission: https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/6076BC1117BCB66F-WIPBelleIleV1

[slate badge]

Just had the same problem. Make sure to check spawn AI and vehicule in your mission config file before publishing

[rapid oak]

I am working on a Conflict map. I see on some servers they disabled the AI tents. How do you do that? anyone know?

[visual vale]

Theres a handful of ways to go about it

Easiest is to remove the slots from the Barracks prefabs
Another method is to disable all groups in US and USSR Groups configs

(If that doesnt work do it through the FactionManager)
Theres also a Serverside setting that Server owners can enable that disables the spawning of all AI

As well as a component that im forgetting the name of that prevents them from spawning as well

[visual vale]

Through your mission file, theres also the Spawn AI parameter under Default game Flags and Editable Game Flags
Disable both of those, disable Last on both of those, disable Metabolism on both of those, and enable Spawn Vehicles

This should also prevent AI from being chosen without modifications elsewhere, even allowing you to create a Conflict scenario WITH AI spawns, but have two missions for different preferences

[raw bone]

Yes!! That's work! Thank you

[rapid oak]

cool thanks

[mighty hinge]

Regarding creating missions in Workbench (using Scenario framework): is the "Health system" that was introduced in Reforger 0.9.9.47 (https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news/update-july-20) enabled by default or does it need to be enabled from somewhere (perhaps via a prefab or game mode)?
edit: GameModeSF prefab includes SCR_GameModeHealthSettings component. Is that (part of) the "Health system" or completely something else?

[nova onyx]

Hi. Yes, it is enabled by default. This SCR_GameModeHealthSettings component allows you to tweak some of the most important values related to the Health System for your specific mission .

[nova onyx]

Not possible to change the prefab parent I think.

[nova onyx]

Your navmesh data need to be part of that mission. I think it is not possible to have it just server-side.

[nova onyx]

May I ask why do you need to change this inheritance?

[mighty hinge]

Thanks Yethe for the quick reply and confirming how it actually is. This helped to clear some doubts since just by doing some searching from the internet didn't return anything that would confirm how it actually is. Did a quick look in Reforger Wiki as well but couldn't find anything about the health system.
I'd say it would be good if there'd be some general info about the health system in Wiki which then could also include (from the perspective of scenario creation) the info about whether the system is enabled by default (in vanilla Game Modes at least).

[nova onyx]

Yes, we are aware and BIKI expansion is in progress 😅.

[slate badge]

Is there a way to have squad with more than 6 players?

[pallid shoal]

If I want my conflict starting bases to start with more then the main tent what are my options?
Can I have some it spawn certain buildings automatically? If so what do I edit to do so?
Or can I just build it by manually placing prefabs and it will work with the conflict mode

[thin swan]

Here's a couple of different possibilities for how to achieve that
https://discordapp.com/channels/105462288051380224/976159829628444682/1181265184103346207

[slate badge]

Thank. I need to work on my search skill in Discord

[thin swan]

Reason was that the BTR-70 (or the prefab BTR70.et) has all kinds of supplies stuffed into its inventory by default. Like, there's 14 different objects declared in its Multi Slots configurations (found in SCR_UniversalInventoryStorageComponent) of which 9 objects are inherited from the BTR-70_Base.et prefab.
I wanted to remove some of the objects but that wasn't so easy because the objects that are added into it (and the base prefab) can not be deleted just-like-that. So I went the way of looking to be able to change the inventory objects in the base prefab from which the duplicated BTR-70 then would inherit the objects I wanted to have in its inventory in the first place.

[thin swan]

In the end I was able to achieve that by doing what I wrote here:
https://discordapp.com/channels/105462288051380224/976159829628444682/1204885366130352128

Thanks a lot work great (second option) But my group name is not user it still Atlas red or something do I have to change something in callsign Info?

We need more info

We don't know what you did

I haven't used the solution that Blackheart_Six provided at all so I won't be able to help you on that one

All good thanks, Just saw that he respond to the same question in the next post

[nova elk]

I set up a conflict mode the are the managers

If I get into arma vision while the camera is like that it teleports the camera back to the character and then its working

[muted scroll]

Hello,
For now we need to put the CampaignGarbagemanager.et inside the world like an asset for be able to change values ?

or we only need to override it only ?

[digital creek]

Overriding will change these values globally.

Editing in the world, locally.

[muted scroll]

Ok thanks

[slate badge]

I have a RiffleSquad for whim I set a AIWaipoint_Defend. There are some vehicule in the defend zone, Some of the AI are just running to sit in the vehicule. Anyway to prevent that?

[vivid anchor]

In a config iirc

[slate badge]

Is there a way to remove map object like in arma 3? Specifically gardrail on roads

[digital creek]

No, not directly. You can delete it using a script at runtime though.

[slate badge]

Thanks do you have an example? or somewhere where I can get more info?

[digital creek]

That would be an #enfusion_scripting question

But in any case, there is no nice solution for this.

[slate badge]

Thanks I found SCR_PrefabDeleteEntity that at first glance do the job

[vivid anchor]

SCR_EntityHelper.DeleteEntityAndChildren();

[slate badge]

Why can I put a sniper team (AIGroup) in a house? I know I can put a character but I don't seem to be able to take control of characters in GM

[slate badge]

I'm unable to find that

[vivid anchor]

Do you not know how to use the text search function in the script editor?

Or Find Symbol would be better in this situation.

[slate badge]

Yeah I find it in the script editor but Not in the world editor to apply it. Anyway as mentionned PrefabDeleteEntity does the trick for the moment. I'll look deeper into EntityHelper when I have more time. Thanks

I,m not in the scripting phase yet 🙂

[vivid anchor]

@slate badge Funnily enough, I can't find SCR_PrefabDeleteEntity

[vivid anchor]

are you in experimental?

nevermind lol

SCR_PrefabDeleterEntity

Regardless, in your situation. You should just do a subscene of Empty_Arland and copy all of the objects from the "un-empty" one and paste them into your subscene. Then you can just delete anything you don't want, without the need for scripts or anything.

[slate badge]

I was gonna do that but, I don't know if the gardrail next to the road are part of the road or "object". if the later I couldn't find them in the Hierarchy (I'm in Kunar by the way, didn't mention it)

[vivid anchor]

Oh, i'm sure they didn't do theirs with an empty version. Which should be common practice tbh, Especially being how easy it is to do, even with a completely finished map.

[slate badge]

Now if I can find out why I can't put AIGroup in houses I could go forward.

[eternal lion]

[compact cliff]

Guys,
I'm trying to build a coop mission with BI's Scenario Framework. I would like to have a sort of Zeus in this mission so I can watch AI behaviors and so on.
There are many components in Game Master Mod prefab and it is very hard to find what is necessary (and compatible) with the Game SF prefab.
Any idea ?

[compact cliff]

After comparing differences (missing components from GameModeSF prefab vs GamerMode_Editor prefab) and some components parameters (with bits of intuition 😉 ), it seems that the SCR_HintManagerComponent is heavily implicated in what I want to do 😉.

I simply duplicated SCR_HintManagerComponent parameters from the GameMode_Editor prefab to those from the GameModeSF and it seems to work. Sounds like black magic to me 😄

Any explanation and help from a Grand Master is still appreciated !

[lean scroll]

@compact cliff This is the beauty of enfusion, and the workbench. You did exactly what I would do. Compare one entity, and then customize another to your liking. It is modular, and as long as you have the correct components plugged in, it works.

Game Master is accessible in every mode. You just have to be logged in on the server as admin.

[static spruce]

Hey
I've been following the faction tutorial in bohemia's wiki and everything works great
I don't know if it's because it has not been updated or if I'm doing something wrong but the part where you make it Conflict compatible doesn't seem to work, in particular adding the buildable compositions.

Does anyone know how to add compositions so they are buildable in conflict for a custom faction?
I've tried searching in the wiki and discord but I cannot find anything

[west steeple]

It would be so nice if one of you experienced mission makers ex. @lean scroll could make a video tutorial, what to consider when using SF to make dynamic mission?

Of course, testing and official instructions helps so much, but I need that kind of silent information. My dream would be to use more of the different triggers that SF allows.

[nova onyx]

Hi. Could you elaborate on those different triggers? And what would help you to have what is currently missing?

[west steeple]

I don't understand everything about triggers either, but could you give some practical examples where these "getters" could be used? It's a bit of a mystery to me.

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

[lean scroll]

I think until we see the completion of the ARMA Reforger roadmap and while waiting for release ARMA IV it is better to wait on anymore [HOW-TO]'s. I posted a lot of stuff on the forums, and much has changed. Some of it is outdated now, and I need to review and edit. I am going to wait until it is all fleshed out and deep dive into a video or manual.

@west steeple I think the most important things when starting to make a scenarios with SF is ...

1. Planning what you want. 50k meter view of things. Big picture stuff.
2. Organization of all the components.
3. Naming conventions of components.
4. Standardizing, and utilizing copy and paste to speed up process.

[west steeple]

Thank you and "base of mission" is in good condition. It is easy to copy and modify. I could also make prefabs of them.

[lean scroll]

@west steeple In regards to getters...

IMHO... and you know I am a non-professional giving pro tips, so take with a grain of salt.

There are always 2 parts to this, getters and setters.

Used in different ways across different objects, and programming with different terminology.

In Arma 3, you had Getters and Setters with task functions. Getter functions for getting data about tasks, and setters for making tasks, and changing or setting the function. Triggers also worked on this principle, activation conditions (getter), and OnActivation (setter).

For example, you could run "BIS_fnc_taskState" (getter) to get the state of a task, and then run "BIS_fnc_taskSetState" (setter) to set the state of the task to one of the states allowed.

For ARMA Reforger the "getter" in this case an entity that exists in the scenario to execute an action (setter). It doesn't have to execute the action on the getter.

For example, the slot trigger.et. Basic trigger for SF.
Under activations, you have both Getters, and Actions. It depends on what you are trying to achieve to determining which you want to use.

Remember there are always 2 parts to this. Get and Set. The get is dependent on what you want to set.

The most common "Getter" I use is the SCR_ScenarioFrameworkGetPlayerEntity. I use it to do all kinds of actions with the presence of the player, like spawn or delete objects (action).

[west steeple]

Now I'm starting to understand a little bit. I need to get to know some of your scenarios better

Thanks

[open sapphire]

The sample missions for LayerTask, task and slot handling are super helpful to get a grip. Search for TaskClear TaskDefend etc in the ArmaReforger samples, there are complete samples with a small training world

[nova onyx]

Getters are primarily used for ScenarioFramework actions. Imagine you want to teleport some entity in your scenario when something happens. You use the appropriate action but that action needs to know what entity is supposed to be teleported. This is where getters come into play and they serve as a way how to pass this information.

Then how getters are used is heavily dependant on which exact ScenarioFramework action you want to use and which entities you want to be applied.

[candid sapphire]

Hello. My friend is making a conflict scenario and he can't get the AI to spawn outside of the workbench. He is trying to make a PVE conflict mode. I can get more info if needed. Thanks in advance.

Hello, Could somebody help with adding magazines to vehicle inventory? as i understood i need to use SCR_VehicleInventoryStorageManagerCompanent?

[lean scroll]

@fringe bough You can add items via "SCR_UniversalInventoryStorageComponent".

1. Expand "Unsorted"
2. Expand "Multislots", to view current items. Normally this consists of 2 Field Dressings.
3. Add additional items by pressing the + sign by Multi Slots.

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news/modding-update-february-15-2024 quick PSA and how-to on mission making and avoiding loss of progress when dealing with game or mod updates.

[gritty vortex]

the list of changed classes will be available in a changelog after an update I guess?

[cloud obsidian]

It depends on the individual change-log entries if they remember to mention relevant class names or not. There is no stand-alone list of these. All warnings and errors should be closely inspected after an update to see if they are relevant to you. We are working on getting vanilla free of spammy entries like outdated properties we forgot to remove from prefabs.

For 1.1 the switch "back" to the new garbage system and thus the removal of GarbageManager entity will be relevant again (though those will be mentioned in the changelog)

[gritty vortex]

ah right it's a general post, in which case I'm not sure what is the purpose of it

hope it helps someone

[digital creek]

Is it not possible to make the Workbench just skip that entity and continue loading the others?

[cloud obsidian]

it is an info post so people who have little to no awareness or experience with the topic know what to look out for and how to deal with it.

[cloud obsidian]

That is the plan for the future, for 1.1 there was no time to include engine changes for this

[gritty vortex]

The issue for most people is they dont know what logs are and those that do, largely do not need posts telling them to read them

So I hope this post helps the former

[fringe bough]

Thanks!!!

[digital creek]

In the worst case, it'll spread some awareness about layer files being human readable.
Apparently there's still a ton of people who have no conception of how files work.

"x doesn't work, do I have to restart my entire project"

[proven pond]

It's because of how computers work; if it breaks, try turning it off and on again 😅

But yes, it does help to know small things like this when it happens. At least till it has been / can be fixed within the workbench itself

[gritty vortex]

they have no conception of what human readable means, what a text editor is, and how to open a file in notepad - telling them that entity class has changed achieves nothing

[dim pawn]

About 4 months ago I successfully published a Game Master scenario for a small test terrain I built. Coming back to look at it now. In Reforger when I start the scenario it shows the standard "Arma" loading screen, but then it hangs on next screen and I have to kill Reforger. Seems like something has changed in the way that scenarios are built or published now? Any suggestions as to how I should go about fixing this? I did try deleting and re-publishing, but its the same result. When trying the GM scenario in Workbench it also fails

[lean scroll]

I guess to Bacon's point.

Getting my and dirty in Senario Framework this week. 1. Any good tutorial/docs The wiki is pretty thin. 2. in case of a Assination mission can I put my layerTaskKill, my layer for Spawning AI in the ame area or should I create differente are?

[ocean vector]

Does anyone know why this is happening? I created a prefab of the unarmed US .et and gave it a bunch of modern gear. Then, in the loadout manager for my scenario, I changed the loadouts to the new prefab. It works find but I have this other body in frame for some reason in the inventory and group selection screen.

After removing the weapons from the weapon slots, this issue has been fixed. Not sure why that was happening though

[pallid shoal]

how do i get Nato to show up on my select screen?

[digital creek]

Tick "Is Playable" in the FactionManager

[pallid shoal]

I mean, where is it listed or is it a mod I only see USA?

Or am I just missing it?

[digital creek]

The base game has US, USSR and FIA. So yes.

But even if you add the mod, it might not automatically show up in that specific FactionManager - you'll have to add it in that case, or use the mods FactionManager.

[pallid shoal]

OK second question does anybody know of a mod that has NATO in it? I know that I have inadvertently added that at some point and caused my conflict to have Nato versus Russia. But I am at a loss of being able to just add Nato

I'm creating a mission with Scenario Framework. on Kunar map. When I put a layerTaskMove with a task title and description, it overides the default when I test/play however on other task (kill, clear at the moment) it'S not override. I put the onfo in the LayerTask... not on the slots (I have the same result if I put in slot (or in both) Any hints on what's I'm not doing correctly? Also the markers are showing at the bottom left corner of the map.

[nova onyx]

Hi. SlotTask overrides these things for LayerTask. In your case I would double-check the SlotTasks whether or not they have already some description and if so, you can clear it.

As for the markers being on the bottom left corner of the map, that signifies that something is wrong. Check the console logs of the workbench, perhaps some errors might be able to hint you what might be wrong.

[slate badge]

SlotTask were empty. I place my texte there now and layertask are empty for taskClearArea and #ar-combatscenario_kill_.. for the taskKill. still not working an dnow my move are not working either. I will recheck the set up again.

As simple as it might be double check, you don’t have anything typed into the search parameter. I have ran into this several times because it seems whatever you search for it stays there between sessions
