[noble sky]

reading it was "create" tab was helpful

I guess it respawns after some treshold

Actually no xD

[noble sky]

I've debuged the script a bit and on first looks OnDestroyed gets called multiple times for some reason

[slim stratus]

Oh so it is a problem with the module itself

insane

[noble sky]

I guess

[noble sky]

Quickly checking this probably fixes it

    void OnDestroyed(IEntity newEnt)
    {
        if(!spawnedVehicle || !newEnt) return;
        
        if(spawnedVehicle.GetID() == newEnt.GetID()) {
                    spawnedVehicle = null;
        }
    }

to add these if statements

because sometimes newEnt is null

[unkempt stratus]

Urgh I hate reading code.. If hungry then eat else starve.. Anyway I'll try it. OnDestroyed shouldn't activate if a wheel gets shot so idk.

[warm crow]

Is there a quick way to copy RHS units gear/uniforms etc to my own override mod for the vanilla units? I know I can do it manually and replace every item with what I want. But would be so much quicker if I could just copy all the gear and paste over the vanilla units and then edit accordingly.

[heady meadow]

is there a way to remove items off the eden map?

[pliant rapids]

@heady meadow yes by using the Workbench only but I don't know if it's an exploit or not so if any of BI's here, say you are allowed to I will post the method.

[raw bone]

Is it possible to make a trigger if the enemy is detected with the scenario framework please?

[warm crow]

I would be interested to know as well, if BI give you the go ahead to share.

[muted scroll]

You can create a New sub scene from eden empty. And copy past all asset from eden in it. And after you can delete some asset of the map.

[warm crow]

Never even thought of that lol. Cheers.

[heady meadow]

It would be very strange to me that they wouldnt allow it. You could remove items off the map in both arma 2 and arma 3, yes it was with script but the action/reason was the same. I would be very curious to hear BI's stance on it.

[lean scroll]

good luck with copying the entire world, and pasting into another sub-scene layer. I've tried and it crashed the software. That was a few versions ago.

[frigid hare]

Did it actually crash, or possibly it just froze and you got impatient and closed it? for me it froze for like 15 minutes, when I pressed paste, just needed to wait.

[lean scroll]

pretty sure it crashed. When it asked for a crash report, it's a crash.

[red forum]

In {D051461810189F6E}worlds/ScenarioFramework/Samples/SF-Sample-DynamicDespawn.ent RandomFlag Layer have RANDOM_ONE value in Spawn Children, but it doesn't work

Anybody have this problem?

[nova onyx]

What seems to be a problem?

I just tried latest version on Steam and it properly randomizes the flag 🤔.

[red forum]

I have the same version, I don't modify anything.
But random doesn't work for me.

Neither the flag nor the truck when entering and exiting the trigger are of the same design or design.

Oooh, sorry

It looks like you have to restart the mission each time to get a different set.

Just going in and out of the trigger doesn't change anything

Is this how it should work?

[nova onyx]

Correct.

[red forum]

[nova onyx]

It is there.

[red forum]

All the random selections are saved and layers will remember it.

Gotcha

Is it possible to change this logic?

For example, I want different weapons to appear each time when entering a house

No mission restart

[nova onyx]

I think it should be possible with the RestoreToDefault action 🤔

You can check the newly added sample for that - Repeated Task

Yes

@nova onyx Hi ya Yethe, Is it possible to add AIWaypointDeploySmokeCover.et to the scenenario framework list of waypoints?

[nova onyx]

I will look into it .

[red forum]

No, it doesn't work that way 😦

I need the object to disappear when leaving the trigger, and when entering a new one, a new one will be selected randomly

That doesn't work either 😦

[chrome ice]

Hey, I'm at work, and kinda just scrolling through stuff, so it's not a big deal if there's no answer. But I had a thought today: did the system to spawn a new task when a first task is completed change? I've done this before(last winterish) but I don't remember having to put in a logic counter entity. Looking at BI's tutorial sample it doesn't seem familiar

Hello, from my testing the restore Layer to default doesnt include re-randomization od children. No matter what i tried I cant achieve repeated randomization on Layer respawn

Currently there is an issue for these but it will be fixed in future update.

[karmic lake]

Hello everyone. I have a problem. I did a mission with the RHS mod with the 1.1.0.42 version of the game, which worked perfectly. Now after the game's update to version 1.2.0.76, that mission gives me an error. You know what the problem might be?

[nova onyx]

What kind of error?

[nova onyx]

Any other mods running because this looks like there is a miss match between your client and server

[karmic lake]

I don't quite understand what you're referring to.

That the server has other mods loaded?

[nova onyx]

Could be

Try it with the least amount of mods possible - just your scenario and RHS and see if that’s working and then slowly add one mod one by one until the issue reappears.

[karmic lake]

I already made that option with the server, remove all the mods and just leave the mission and the RHS

In fact when I go into the server to load the mods, it only loads the mission and the RHS

[lean scroll]

@karmic lake Delete mods both server and client side if you haven't already. Remove any version numbers in the config.json for mods. In my experience JIP errors = mod errors. And remember your scenario is a mod as well.

[karmic lake]

Thank you Blackheart_six. The question is that before the game update the scenario worked, and after the update

By setting up a local server, the stage works perfectly.

[lean scroll]

@karmic lake So what changed? The game was updated. When a major update occurs then all bets are off on any mods functioning correctly until the mod owner updates their mod to the current game version.
Local host server doesn't duplicate the same as a dedicated server. I test mods in 3 areas, Game Master, Local Host, and then dedicated server. And many times they run fine in the first 2, and fail on the dedicated.

JIP = MOD

[karmic lake]

Me explico: El escenario antes de la actualización funcionaba perfectamente. Cuando se actualizo el juego, lo primero que hice fue actualizar mi escenario para que estuviera acorde a la nueva actualización del juego...pues a partir de aquí, el escenario dejo de funcionar en servidor dedicado.

[lean scroll]

Interesting...

[karmic lake]

OK, I get this.

[karmic lake]

sorry

[lean scroll]

lol

[karmic lake]

Let me explain: The scenario before the update worked perfectly. When the game was updated, the first thing I did was update my stage so that it was in accordance with the new update of the game...well from then on, the stage stopped working on a dedicated server.

[lean scroll]

@karmic lake With no mods attached?

[karmic lake]

The only thing I would need to try would be to erase all mods on both server and client and reload them.

[karmic lake]

Take the RHS

[lean scroll]

Did you see this post on #1050079312977596426 message

[karmic lake]

No, I didn't see her.

[lean scroll]

My rule of thumb is and has always been do not attach mods directly to scenarios. The only time I attach a mod to my scenario is when it is a terrain mod. And this is the reason I only use Everon and Arland.

I create a secondary mod that adds other mods to the scenario to modernize it, but it is totally detachable.

[karmic lake]

You learn from mistakes.

[lean scroll]

🥃

[karmic lake]

Accustomed to editing in Arma3, I thought editing in Reforger and mods would be similar when it comes to updates.

[lean scroll]

@karmic lake BI is building a brand new engine. Arma Reforger has been and still is a test bed for Enfusion. I don't think you will see stability until Arma 4.

[karmic lake]

I understand

[lean scroll]

It is getting better. And it is a helluva lot better since Day 1.

Flexibility is key in this situation.

[karmic lake]

In short, I try to delete the server and client mods and reload them, to see if the scenario works. Otherwise I try to remove the dependency on the RHS from my scenario, which in the end is only the T14 tank, the spawn and the key faction of the tasks

[rancid spindle]

Evening guys, anyone managed to get "possesion" type spawning working? IE you have an already existing AI group and the player/players spawn into (posses) one of the existing AIs instead of becoming a new entity on spawn. I can see some spawning components mentioning it and it being enabled, but cant really make it work...

[opaque light]

I just play with the editor

[karmic lake]

Look Blackheart_Six, since deleting the mods hasn't worked either, I have decided to remove the RHS dependencies from the mission, in order to make it playable.
Touching all the rooms, I have seen this in a part of the mission that I had not looked at at the beginning, because in theory the AIs have the same name... well they have disappeared.

This happens to me for not placing the IAS through slotIA, as I do now.

I think the error is going to be this.

[lean scroll]

@karmic lake I would do a sanity check as well.
Load up a default BI scenario, remove all mods from the server, and then run it. Just to make sure everything is working on the server side.
Then add back the RHS mod and run with default BI Scenario. And another test.

Remove offending AI for sure

[karmic lake]

That's what I'm doing right now.
Thank you so much. Let's see if I can solve the problem.

[karmic lake]

It seems that today, work is full of errors.

Does anyone know why this error could be caused?

[chrome ice]

Hey, has anyone played with the spawn children option in the SF entities? theres a option that says random based on player count. if i place 10 slots that spawn AI and set it to 10 percent it should spawn 1 random AI out of those 10. 1 player would be 10 percent, 10 percent of 10 is 1. when i test in the bench way more than what i was expecting spawns, so i must be over thinking the math. anyone that knows the break down would be greatly apprecciated

[lean scroll]

I don't use it.

[chrome ice]

I'll, have to play with it some more. It'd be cool for the random spawned AI to be affected by player count. A group of 20 players can plan out and handle a lot more then a group of half or a quarter of that

[lean scroll]

does the wiki saying about ratios?

[chrome ice]

The math I put in just wasn't what I was expecting though someone might have a better understanding. the pop up hint doesn't list it either so it might not even be working right now

"It spawns number of children based on how many children are there compared to the number of players according to this equation: NumberOfChildren / 100 * (CurrentNumberOfPlayers / MaximumNumberOfPlayers) * 100"

Not sure how to test this in the workbench if it needs to know the max player count possible

but thank you. didnt think the actual math was going to be on the wiki

[solid owl]

Greetings. I want to implement waves of attacks for my mission, as it happens in conflict mode when capturing and holding points. In conflict mode, AmbientPatrolSpawnpoint is used, but I don’t understand how it should work and where the AI ​​will spawn from.

Hey, is anyone aware of any objects that produce the JIP error?
My scenario crashes with my objects layer but if I remove it it's fine, the managers and mode work and the scenario does not crash then

Nice, thanks, I'll check it out

[lone jacinth]

Placing a heavy vehicle depot in the world editor when I was testing conflict mechanics would cause a JIP error when I started a peer session

It hadn't always done that( I don't think, but can't confirm), but check your console log, you'll see errors like these (placed my heavy vic depot down as a test)

[static spruce]

Great info, thanks 🙂

[lone jacinth]

I have no clue what the ramifications are, but if you change the rplstate override to runtime on the parent entity it will remove a majority of the errors. Then I went through and changed all of the child-entities who had Parent Node from Parent Entity disabled to enabled. THis let my peer client spawn

I have 0 clue if this will cause rpl problems later because i've never tested it

There is likely a good reason why the child entities don't respect the parent's override by default

[static spruce]

In case anyone has the JIP_Error in a previously working scenario,

It happens with Command Truck, Repair Truck, Tanker Truck, Ambulances as Til said but it also happens with preplaced RHS weapons in the workbench.

Also with the Depots like Sooth said

[gritty vortex]

it might cause people to stall/crash out of the game, I know weapon attachments are now forced to be in runtime so I had to make mine conform to this

[torn mesa]

Hello everyone! Couldn't find a solution myself so now I'm here🙂 Is there any trick to set supplies cost multiplier in the scenario or mod, not manually as GM? Thanks in advance!

[ocean vector]

Hey,
I am trying to spawn a layer containing targets on a shooting range whenj a player presses a button. I can make the layer spawn when the button is pressed but I cant figure out how to despawn the layer and then spawn it again.

Basically I want to be able to spawn a random assortment of targets on a shooting range and have a "clear range" button that despawns all targets and another "set range" button that spawns the targets. Anyone know how to accomplish this?

[nova onyx]

Hi. You could use RestoreToDefault action 😅

[ocean vector]

Awesome! Thats got me one step closer!

[ocean vector]

So i have a switch I can walk up to and press but it turns out the trigger is tied to my proximity to the switch and not the pressing of the switch. Do you know how to tie the trigger to the toggling of the in game switch?

[nova onyx]

You could simply name the object where this user action is attached to and then use ScenarioFramework action On User Action Event
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Scenario_Framework#On_User_Action_Event

You can take a look at the GenericTask Sample in the ScenarioFramework folder where I did just that
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Scenario_Framework#GenericTask

[ocean vector]

That helped a lot. However now ive run into a new issue.

I set the layer of paper targets to spawn a random 50% on init. Then the button is set to activate on the user action and will restore the layer of targets to default.

That works, however it deletes the targets then it seems to spawn the same ones rather than new ones.

Also, the restore button only works once despite being set to -1 max activations.

[nova onyx]

Yes, I'm aware of that randomisation not being cleared and I have fixed this for upcoming update.
However the button working only once, that is strange. If you know how to use Script Editor, try putting break-points in your user action and this ScenarioFramework action to see where it might fail 🤔.

[ocean vector]

I was just using the SCR_SwitchLightUserAction as a template for my button and just turned the light to 0 lv/radius. I didnt actually write my own action.

[nova onyx]

Ok

[rigid kraken]

[obsidian ledge]

Ok I feel silly asking this because it must be staring me in the face, but if I've started making a mission with a few mods, and want to remove one of the mods, how do I actually do that?

[lean scroll]

When you selecting what project to open, just right click on it and say open with addons... then search for the one you want to remove and disbale it... I think thats the correct way.

Does anyone know how to remove the Living Quarters from the Build menu in conflict? I know Gramps has a mod but im trying to figure out how it was done.

[lean scroll]

Open your scenario, go workbench > options. Find dependencies, and press - sign to remove mods. Or open the addon.gproj file in code or txt editor, and delete the mod that way.

The above method doesn't work because if the mod is already attached to the scenario it won't appear in the list of mods to open.

[lean scroll]

Given that is only to go from 1.0 to 1.1 are y'all going to remove that at some point? I've taken down any videos on that so not to confuse.

[nova onyx]

Search for Faction Manager entity in your world. It seems like you have it there twice (or more) and only one such entity is supposed to exist in the world 😅.

[silk sigil]

is it possible to disable some bases in conflict mission? i.e. disable them in the 1st attacking stage, and enable them in the 2nd attacking stage.

[glossy folio]

Is there a tutorial on how to use the counterattack mod, my idea is to implement it in a PVE conflict mission, I understand that this mod makes the AI ​​counterattack and thus have the possibility of losing bases, it would be the closest thing to a release mode in reforger no ?

[wild trellis]

I believe the code used in that mod is from my pve scenario, which btw is in the process of getting a massive overhaul currently.

The old method is based on the resupply point reinforcements only with a specific number of waves assigned. Set it up in your world just like those reinforcements. Place ambient patrol spawn point with a defend waypoint as a child.

How to create a mission that will be a template for others?

For example, I need a mission that already has all the necessary managers and I will simply reuse it for various tests

[hidden nebula]

could anyone potentially tell me why my icons arent appearing correctly?

I overrode my MapMarkerConfig.conf and added my markers, the names are the same as what they should be in the imageset

I also overrode and added it to my SCR_ScenarioFrameworkSlotMarker

in the correct order

but when I for instance set my marker to TOWN itll show FUELSTATION etc

[lean scroll]

Curious.. anyone having issue getting AI in machine gun positions now. GetInNearest does not work on MG Nests now.

[rocky sedge]

Yeah they seam to ignore the mg positions when using getinnearest. I use the defend waypoint, but then they only sometimes actually use the mg.

[obsidian ledge]

In Arma 3 I would build "Zeus" missions for my guys in the editor and basically place the assets, triggers, some of the AI and then use Zeus to basically babysit the mission, add/remove units on the fly and react to the players actions/roleplay etc.
If I want to do the same sort of thing in Reforger I assume Scenario Framework would be the way to go, but is there anything else I need to add Game Master wise? Because I know when I go into GM it gives me a warning saying it's not set up for GM so some things might not work

[austere zealot]

Hey, does anyone happen to know what The current scenario is not prepared for use with Game Master. relates to and how to fix it? There doesn't seem to be any lose in functionality in GM, just more annoying than anything.

Hey, I had a SF question. I have a Area with a a bunch of OPFOR AI in it. The area is set up for dynamic despawn. Now I want a logic counter to trigger this so when there is no task in this area there is no AI in this area. I can get the logic counter working well enough, but it spawns in AI without a player present. Does the logic counter override the dynamic despawn and there's just no way around it?

Also the option for spawning a random multiple of children seems to be working differently today versus yesterday. Does anyone know if the update changed the math or anything else with that?

[calm ember]

what Components do i need to add to my Gamemode for freebuilding to work? Also is there a way to make respawns only on players (i cant get backpack to work so i want to see if i can respawn on players only)

Can i basically make a character and attach a player Spawnpoint.et to them?

or even give them the same components the radio backpack has

[feral siren]

I'm building an Arland layer and was wondering if it's possible for the supplies I place on the map to respawn. Any guidance would be appreciated!"

[little sequoia]

It's more than possible to have anything respawn. I haven't quite figured out the exact code for something like a resource node,

The supply system is a little complex, and it's tied to the campaign game mode as far as I can tell. You can take a look at the code for ambient vehicle spawn to see how a area spawner happens.

Either that or you could write some code to detect when the supply's are consumed/destroyed and replace them. (This might exist in the code, as it's likely used in maps) I just haven't found it.

[little sequoia]

And actually now that I think about it. The (conflict base) radio backpack inventory is a respawn container. If that's more for what your looking for. Vs "supplies" or prop repawn.

[glossy folio]

Why sometimes I download missions for my server and I can't play them because there is no respawn point?

Could this affect the fact that AIs from the opposing team do not attack the player?

[gritty vortex]

mmm no that would be the perception manager I believe

this just makes them unable to navigate

[lean scroll]

Check your SCR_AIWorld, and make sure the correct navmesh is setup for all 3.

Maybe they'll add a hint about this...

I think they cover it in a couple different places...

FYI... There is a bug for slotAI.et.
PROBLEM: In the "Object to Spawn" field, when you use an AI group, the group preview will not appear in the main window (World view) of workbench. This only applies from what I've seen to AI groups. Individual characters, and objects still appear. AI Groups will spawn in during game play.

[glossy folio]

I have bought that it is possible that in a pve conflict the AI ​​can counterattack, but is it possible to have the AI ​​capture the base they are counterattacking?

[wild trellis]

Yes, is that not happening?

[glossy folio]

No, let's say 5 or 6 enemies stay in the base and they don't conquer it.

[wild trellis]

Is this one of my pve scenarios?

[glossy folio]

bazar pve is yours?

[wild trellis]

Bazar? No, maybe they changed the seizing components of bases to ignore NPCs.

Mine is CONFLICTPVEREMIXEDVANILLA2.0

Was working fine after an update last night. Enemy took back a base 2-3 times during counters.

[glossy folio]

By installing your mod, can it be applied to any map or to the scenarios that you created yourself?

[wild trellis]

No I would have had to overwrite the seizing component for it to affect other mods or scenarios

[glossy folio]

oh what a shame, it would have been great to be able to transfer your mod to other maps like chernarus for example

[wild trellis]

It requires quite a bit of setup, can't just copy everons base locations

[lean scroll]

Yea it's a huge lift to copy and paste to other worlds. Too much work at this point of development of the engine and Reforger.

[glossy folio]

If I wanted to try to do it on another map, what would be the files to modify?

[wise mountain]

Willdo!

Does anyone know how to redraw the navmesh to make AI respond to placed prefabs?

[lean scroll]

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

[wild trellis]

I would study the vanilla Arland conflict scenario. Or it might be easier to study my scenario for Everon since I have everything organized into layers instead of everything being in one layer.

[wise mountain]

Saved my ass man thanks

[glossy folio]

I'll study your scenario then 🙂

[wise mountain]

Does anyone know how to make AI spawn dynamically?

I can see this "Unspawned" thing

[bright echo]

Hi -any good SP missions in here that have friendly AI ready to go?

[lean scroll]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/61D600CFB64F9B28-MilOpsEveronModernWarfare

Just go to the living quarters, request your team.

[bright echo]

1st off thanks -first time i was able to jump in and just recruit a squad quickly. Question (i have baby lvl understanding of Reforger) -is this a mission meant for just a player led squad or should their be other friendly AI squads to assist and if so, do I need to create them? Pretty sure theres no High Command in Reforger either correct?

[lean scroll]

@bright echo No high command.
If you play single or COOP, you can grab a fire team put them in a hummer and go. Or play lone wolf, which is extremely hard. I haven't done a lot of AI commanding yet. Some basic movement stuff.

Go to the living area tent, and look at the board. Open the build mode, and you can drop in what you want. But word of warning, TAA don't have transport trucks. only hummers, so fireteam at most.

[bright echo]

And then what in a sense -is the point of the mission? Remember i dont have an MP basic understanding -my point of reference are old OFP missions so it was very much : Enemy is this area, go grab transport here and infiltrate, execute whatever at point B, Point C to Exfil. Reforger mission im guessing are all versions of CTI's?

[austere lily]

My conflict mode doesn't have the ability to log into gamemaster. Did I turn something off or forget something?

[lean scroll]

You need scriptedchatentity in the the scenario to login on server for gm mode

[austere lily]

Is there a specific way I need to have it setup? I added it and global chat isn't working

[lean scroll]

No it’s drag and drop.

Run game mode setup plugin for your game mode to make sure you have everything

[austere lily]

I did that and it says I have everything.

[wild trellis]

This is used for conflict mode, which already has a system for that.

Technically _NotSpawned groups

[rough pivot]

hey I DM'd you the screenshot!

[wise mountain]

Is there a way to spawn units mid mission and have them do something without it being in conflict?

I'm trying to figure out how to just make units show up

[wild trellis]

You'd probably be better off using scenario framework. Blackheart six has made some videos for that game mode.

[wise mountain]

I'm using reforger lobby

[lean scroll]

If you are GM on server. But if you are creating a scenario, yea gramps is right SF is the way to go.

[wise mountain]

Nah we're trying to make them in the workbench and hacve them run entirely without a GM

Is there really no way to do this without a framework mod?

[solid owl]

Greetings. My mission does not contain player nicknames, what could be the problem?

Do these settings even work? I didn't see any difference.

[gritty vortex]

AI skill had some impact on aiming accuracy

[lean scroll]

Scenario Framework is not a mod. It is built into the game and it's own game mode.

1. You have 3 options for game modes, GM, Campaign, or Scenario Framework
   or
2. You can create your own game mode by using game mode plain, and adding components.
   or
3. You can script it.

[red forum]

I want to make a test world with a minimum set of managers so that it can be further inherited by test worlds.

How can I do that?

[red forum]

It is possible that I found how to do this...

You need to create a new layer and then the first one can be locked

[red forum]

Although no, when you add this mod as a dependent layer, the layers become editable again

{8883F261E4C09A41}worlds/ScenarioFramework/Samples/SF-Sample-DeliverWeaponsToCrate.ent

When entering the trigger, the mission is considered completed and there is no need to put the pistols in the box

Greetings. My mission does not contain player nicknames, what could be the problem?

[unkempt stratus]

In your Gamemode prefab check if there is a SCR_GameTagConfigComponent and is enabled.

[solid owl]

If you meant this component, it is included

[warm crow]

I have had a few people ask me how I create the conflict missions for the different maps I run in my community, so I thought I would throw together a simple tutorial video. Nothing special, but it may help a few people who are starting off.
https://youtu.be/GsCWu77Bw9o

[glossy folio]

@wild trellis In your mod is it normal that you can find two capture points without enemies?

[wild trellis]

Not really. Do you have an ai limit set? That could prevent them from spawning.

[wise mountain]

Anyone know how to make the AI engage and simulate from longer disances? I'm trying to make some long range firefights

[glossy folio]

I don't have any AI limiter, I don't know if any of the mods I have have it and I don't know it, the fact is that there is no AI in some small points, I don't know if they are generated throughout the game or if they simply They are empty, also yesterday I saw that the mod was updated to 2.0.7, maybe that solved it

[wild trellis]

that update was to fix one of the counter attacks number of waves. I had the number pretty high for testing and forgot to change it to a reasonable number of waves. It seems like the biggest cause of no AI spawning is other mods that do stuff with factions, like replacers for the default factions etc. Also, if you want to discuss further we can go to #1113877580714614944

[wise mountain]

I've followed the navmesh generation tool to the letter, and I've added my navmesh override to my mission in SCR_AIworld, bu the soldiers still seem to totally ignore sandbags and other emplacements and instead try to shoot or run through them. Is there a step that isn't documented?

[lean scroll]

Might want to ask over at the https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/976159873517629500. I think they deal with navmesh more frequently.

[raw bone]

Please does anyone know how to change "Everon" in the map indication?

[lone jacinth]

might be SCR_MapLocator in the game world (from a cursory search for "map hint" and then finding the component related to SCR_MapLocator.c

I presume you set it within the LocationHintsXXX.conf

[raw bone]

Merci 🙂
I used the unnamed .conf

And it would be possible to know which file contains the language variables? (#...]

[chrome ice]

Hey, I'm not far from uploading a mission, and I'm setting up prenamed groups in my faction manager. My question is this: I've looked In the game mode and faction manager entities and can find anything to turn off the first come first serve type of joining a group. I don't want the first guy logged on to be the lead of the group just cuz he logged first. My server has a actual ranking system and it'd be nice if we could pick any slot based on our predesignated rank

[lone jacinth]

I honestly have the same question, been wondering if there is a main list of the localization string I could open & read

[waxen fossil]

Add a language folder to your mod and then follow this guide: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Mod_Localisation#Creating_new_localization_files

Anyone messed around with the create variable, set variable, and get variable actions in the scenario framework lately? I watched blackheart_six's video on it but I can't get it to work when I set an activation condition to get a variable value which I set in a slot. Wondering if there are any caveats, tips, or limitations to using it the get variable condition on a layer. I assume it user error on my part, but wondering if anyone was run into any issues using it before.

[warm crow]

I made a video for setting up a simple PvP conflict scenario. Might help you get started. Sent you a DM.

Greetings. AI skill settings do not work on a dedicated server, but if you run games on the client in scenarios, AI difficulty works.

How can I make the difficulty work like when running the script on the game client?

[chrome ice]

Hey, quick question. How do I rename a spawn point in gamemode SF? it only comes up as "US Point", I want it more obvious where people should be spawning into

[wild moth]

Duplicate and edit prefab should be up there

[chrome ice]

yeah, just found it lol

thank you

[wild moth]

No

Problem

[chrome ice]

I thought it would be simpler. If I want a respawn tied to "OBJECTIVE A" I should be able to rename the slot spawning it, not have to make a duplicate for every time I want something to have a new name on the map

[chrome ice]

Also, is there a setting for a faction or an arsenalbox over-write that would let me get, use, and save loadouts for all MODS out of one arsenal box?

[keen phoenix]

Hey all. I've noticed an issue around AI init and slotwaypoints

If the SlotAI is spawned in as same_as_parent, same as layer, and area is on_init, any slotwaypoints work perfectly

But when I set the SlotAI to on_trigger_activation, they will obey the first waypoint that the slot gives them, but never use the waypoints I've provided

If I set the waypoints to trigger before they do, doesn't work, setting them after they spawn. Doesn't work

Any ideas?

[lean scroll]

Are you following BI method of waypoint setup per combat ops?

Look at this video for how I do it.
https://youtu.be/5PE7XhekFCs

[keen phoenix]

Yes and no, I wasn't doing exactly that but it was working as long as they spawned on mission init, but when I delay their spawn they don't comply

I'm just testing with a cycle waypoint just like yours now
(P.S, big fan, great videos)

Yep, still no luck.
Regardless of what I have the spawned group doing, they don't seem to pick up the layer of waypoints (or the initial Cycle waypoint in the same layer).

[charred wasp]

Hey, SF Clear Area does not work 😦 The Task get created and 1 Sec later it will be completed but there are still USSR present. I checked the SF Sample 3 Times and setup the trigger with the same values.

[lean scroll]

Add US to the faction plugin of the slotclear

[charred wasp]

Is already set

[lean scroll]

Screen shot you hierarchy of the task please

Hierarchy

LayerTask

SlotClear

[lean scroll]

I don't see anything wrong. Maybe move the slotclear out of the layer, and remove character chimera.

You have a lot going on there, so I would simplify and test. Just get the basics to work then add back all the car crash stuff.

Area > LayerTask > SlotTask

WHy the player trigger? Why not a slotTrigger?

[keen phoenix]

Perhaps use a SlotTriggerClearArea, does that not suffice for the same purpose?

[charred wasp]

The LayerTask gets triggered if a Player get close to the town

[lean scroll]

Use slotClearArea for the task

[charred wasp]

The Task is SlotClearArea..

Layer is LayerTaskClearArea

and this LayerTask get triggered from the playerTrigger

[keen phoenix]

In my scenario, I have a LayerTaskClearArea, and I simultaneously have a SlotTriggerClearArea, both with the same conditions but with two different actions once they finish

[lean scroll]

Like I said, simplify. Get the basic task working without all the other stuff.

[keen phoenix]

SlotTriggerClearArea should work if SlotClearArea doesn't, but I don't know why that would be

[lean scroll]

The only time I see the task complete when you enter the area is because there is no US in "Activated By This Faction" in the plugins of the slotClearArea.

Got to go.

[charred wasp]

Its working if i spawn the LayerTask on Init

But the task should only be available if a player get close

[lean scroll]

So that is triggering.
Start at the Area components.
Dynamic Despawn on?

[charred wasp]

Problem found... CIV count as friendy and if there are 7 CIVs hanging around, the trigger will engage.

[charred wasp]

For someone who runs in the same problem in the Future: Make sure you mod "TriggerDominance.et" while using more then one Faction.

[lean scroll]

Civs if friendly to US will act as US towards dominance. Civs friendly to USSR, then you have to kill them

I've brought this up to BI. Civs have to be neutral when considering tasks. They can be friendy to factions, but should not be part of any calculations in trigger dominance.

[charred wasp]

Make sens, do you have Feedback ID?

[lean scroll]

no I don't. I didn't file FB through tracker

[charred wasp]

Then we just mod it by ourselves -> SCR_FactionControlTriggerEntity -> ScriptedEntityFilterForQuery(IEntity ent)

Howdy. I work with mission making for a small community. I am pretty familiar with Arma 3 mission making. I recently started trying to use the the enfusion workbench for mission making just to try and figure it out, although i am having trouble being able to preview whenever i put a group in the map editor. I can place individual characters without problems, but groups as a whole I cannot see. When I click play I can see that the group spawns in and follows the waypoint and can navigate the map without any issues. Any suggestions?

[lean scroll]

This is a known bug. The preview mode for groups got turned off. Hopefully it will be turned back on next update.

All right thanks. Good to know that I am not the problem here.

I've setup the SCR_Saveload component per the wiki for my scenario but it doesn't seem to save. And is there a process to setup persistence on a dedicated server. I get a lot of requests for this.

[gritty vortex]

the component needs to have the list of things it can save or whatever it is, similarly to how its setup on arland or other maps, and scenario/world cant have spaces in it, and it must be enabled in scenario as well I think

it should also list it on the mod page though

Howdy and good morning. Quick question, I wonder where I can start looking into creating a custom building prefab by using for example the air shelter bunkers to use as a spawn point/base in my missions. Like when you could create compositions in 3den. Is it world editing i should be looking into? Initially i am just looking into using existing prefabs not creating my own. Any pointers to resources would be of much help.

[lean scroll]

Pro-tip from a non-professional:
If you have an slot.et object that appears in the workbench view port, but not when you press play, make sure in the Asset attribute, "Use Existing World Asset" is unchecked.

Ive had this issue since the 1.2 update. Have you figured out a fix? I have about 5 selectable loadouts for my pve conflict scenario, however when you click deploy, you have a 50% chance of getting the loadout you selected, or the loadout it is inherited from. Sometimes the correct thumbnail is shown, sometimes the wrong one. Can not depend on the thumbnail showing the loadout you are trying to spawn with. Sometimes I click on MG which shows the loadout with an M249, but when I spawn in, Im a simple rifleman with an M16.

I think mission load default character sometimes. Looks totally random. But my character always wear different scripted loadout.

I have several item errors on create character since 1.2, characters can't carry too much weight anymore, maybe mission change character because weight problems.

Idea nr2 is: Editable entity component "prefab variants" part.
"When spawning the editable entity and the data is set it will randomly grab a variant depending on the weight set. "

[sullen girder]

@wild trellis Idea 2 is correct...
EditableCharacterComponent / VariantData containts the list of possible prefabs.

If anybody uses attached components on own character, this make some problems...

woah i've never been here before, cool!

Thanks a bunch just for that Vinu!

[static spruce]

@jade haven
Below Gamemode_Editor Full you can see the faction manager and edit it there, if you place the normal game mode editor entity, you need to place the faction manager yourself

and then modify on the right, a lot of it just explore and test around

[jade haven]

Do I have to do anything with PlayerControllerManager?

[static spruce]

No

[jade haven]

Bet, perfect, also my factionManager has two things under it and only two thinhgs, I mighta screwed something up

[static spruce]

Only thing you really require for a GM world is Gamemode_Editor_Full, PerceptionManager and SCR_AIWorld

[jade haven]

Gotcha, all of those are check!

[static spruce]

check on the right side, and make you sure you don't have any components you collapsed and are not able to see accidentally

[jade haven]

This is all I have ATM

also thank you so kindly for helping me with all this

[static spruce]

check on the red entity

click on where it actually says SCR_FactionManager on the top of that image

with the red icon

[jade haven]

done!

[static spruce]

click on factions there and you can modify the factions

[jade haven]

OH

I SEE

THANK YOUI

[static spruce]

there are tutorials in the wiki and youtube detailing all of this

No problem

[jade haven]

As a final question, can you link those wiki bits? I've been searching these things and haven't found anything

[static spruce]

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

this is the full one

but for a simple GM scenario you just need the gamemode_editor_full, PerceptionManager and SCR_AIworld

[jade haven]

You glorious glorious person

Thank you so much

[static spruce]

within SCR_AIWorld you modify the three navmesh components and select the adequate file, GM - Vehicle - LowRes in that order

that is in NavmeshWorldComponent

[jade haven]

Yeah gotcha, it was preset like that for me

[static spruce]

the files are not selected though

you have to select them

[jade haven]

gotcha, yeah Navmesh Project is Soldier -> BTRlike -> LowRes

[static spruce]

Yeah, but you have to apply the file

send me a screenshot of the navmeshcomponent and I'll tell you where it is, I cannot open the workbench rn

[jade haven]

Oh the big blue button that I've apparently missed for the past hour and a half? that one?

It's just the enabled button right?

[static spruce]

click on set class next to navmesh files config

[jade haven]

sorry waiting for steam to go away

[static spruce]

now I see you clicked on the three dots already, so as I said before, the first one is GM navmesh, within the GameMaster folder you will see the appropriate navmesh

[jade haven]

gotcha

[static spruce]

do the same thing on the other two navmeshworldcomponents

and select vehicles for the second component, and lowres for the third one

[jade haven]

OH I SEE GOTCHA

[static spruce]

for example, the first component, once the file is selected should look like this

https://gyazo.com/1eb08bc8310e9ea8ef62982f43493d47

[jade haven]

So do Eden right?

GOTCHA, okay perfvect

[static spruce]

Eden = Everon

if you are in everon then yes

if not, whichever map you are on

[jade haven]

Glorious!

and I use the just normal GM_Eden for lowres right?

[static spruce]

you use LowRes for the third component

it's under MP > Navmeshes folder

[jade haven]

SAH okay gloruious

youi are amazing

[static spruce]

Np xD

[jade haven]

oh it works so nicely

like liquid gold

I know I am going to feel absolutely useless when the most obvious thing gets pointed at me. But I cannot figure out why the next task won't activate on completion of the first.
I have a delivery task set up to spawn an extraction task once completed. Currently once the delivery task is completed, the extraction task doesn't activate.
Am I missing something obvious?

[nova onyx]

Hi. That's strange. This looks "alright". Hmmm, try adding a Hint action once you complete the task alongside activating the new one to see if that one is properly triggered 🤔.

[slender hornet]

I will also add that I am as greener as the other side of the fence. I have seen a few youtube tutorials and read the wiki while trying to understand as much as I can

I will add that I get the objective completed confirmation trigger at the top of the screen

[nova onyx]

[slender hornet]

how would you add a hint?

[nova onyx]

Similarly like you added the action Spawn Objects

[slender hornet]

I want to eventually set up some more sequences. The mission is to drop off supplies, trigger an ambush from AI and need to exfil

[nova onyx]

Ok, but first you need to identify why it is not spawning for you, so you need to locate which part is working and which not. Hint is probably the easiest to get instant feedback 😅

[slender hornet]

of coursem, this is waaayy, down the line

[slender hornet]

So after completing the objective the hint isn't showing up either. Assuming it's set up correctly. This is still in LayerTaskDeliver2

[nova onyx]

I see. Then try putting it on the SlotTask, maybe there is some issue with the LayerTask 🤔,

[slender hornet]

Does it matter what asset you use for the object?

I currently have a scenario in my head of a backpack/crate of medical supplies that needs to be delivered. So right now it is a backpack for ease of testing.

cbf loading/unloading a crate in a humvee

and now for some reason it doesn't like my object and won't complete the delivery task. Oh no

[nova onyx]

It should not

[nova onyx]

Well, in this case, you need to figure out why your setup for this task is not working. Thoroughly inspect your setup and compare it with for example some Samples we have. Also take a look into the console log, where there might be some hints on what might be wrong 🤔.

[slender hornet]

I think I might have screwed up the settings under the task subsettings.

Looking back at the video

[lean scroll]

@slender hornet Why do you have the 2 taskdelivers one with slotpick and one with a slotdelivery?

[slender hornet]

Is that not how it's supposed to be done?

[lean scroll]

I've never seen that done anywhere.

The each taskdeliver requires a slotpick and a slotdelivery.

[lean scroll]

https://youtu.be/52C7D1ZRkc4?si=uvzD6Mkx7Az6zoWh

[slender hornet]

But isn't that achieved by the Associated Task Layers section?
So you're saying I only need the one area and LayerTaskDelivery embed. Then a SlotDelivery and SlotPick

[slender hornet]

Watching that as we are typing.

You have the pick and delivery under two different layer hamburger tabs altogether

[lean scroll]

OR you can have 1 slotdelivery, and list all the taskdelivers in one slotdelivery.

yes that is an option.

Look at the combatops arland for the BI example when deliverying to the exfil

[slender hornet]

Unfortunately your scenario is significantly more complicated than mine and you have customised your hierarchy pane so much I am not sure what you put in where.

[lean scroll]

Move your slotdelivery.et to Area>Layer>slotdelivery.et. And place it where you want the intel to be delivered.

or just leave it nested in the layertaskDeliver, and place where you want it delivered.

[slender hornet]

ok

Done. They are in the world relatively close together so I can test but not close enough to trigger each other as soon as I pick it up

about 20m away

[lean scroll]

yep you got it.

[lean scroll]

Point taken. Maybe I'll redo the tasks and cover each one with a clean world.

[slender hornet]

I would know if I went through the whole thing in order, which I probably should, and will in the future.
So the issue is potentially it not recognising that I have got the intel. I tried dropping it to see if it would give me a prompt and nothing happens.

[iron needle]

I'm loading and testing the vanilla ScenarioFramework SF-Sample-DetectPrefabInTrigger.ent
The task completes just by walking into trigger area, without having any vehicles in the trigger area.
I know it's using TriggerCharacterSlow.et, but shouldn't it also require the Custom Trigger Conditions be true also?
All vehicles should be inside trigger area to complete task?

[nova onyx]

That is a bug, it will be fixed.

[iron needle]

Thank you for the response, I've been trying for days to fix it with many different ways. I will patiently wait a fix.

[nova onyx]

You can fix it by using different prefab of the trigger and properly setting it up 😅.

It is basically a left-over mistake after some trigger changes and the setup was not properly adjusted (Autotests were enhanced after this to check for this occurance as well 😅)

[iron needle]

I've tried so many different setups. I can get it to work with a single prefab no problem, I just haven't figured out how to use multiple prefab counts, with multiple prefabs. As long as I know it is a bug, I can continue on to other things and when it's fixed, well, great. Thanks

[lean scroll]

Make sure the task descriptions and titles are all aligned.
What I do is go to the combat ops arland mission, find one of the intel tasks and copy it over. Then edit as needed.

This gives you a known good task to start with, and then any changes you make can test for correctness.

[glossy folio]

How can I create AI counterattacks in my pve conflict mission?

[wild trellis]

If I were you I would make my conflict scenario a dependency of your scenario mod so you can take advantage of the scripts I wrote for counters (and any updates I push in the future).

[warm crow]

So randomise could be the issue?

[wild trellis]

yes that was my issue

[warm crow]

Awesome man. Thanks.

[red forum]

Hi all!
The hint does not appear when the player enters the trigger.

What do I need to fix?

[red forum]

I looked to see if this part is used in the samples and in Combat Ops and it is not used anywhere.

It looks like this functionality is not working...

[nova onyx]

Hi. It is because you did not specity the Trigger Resource - it is None

[red forum]

How can I check how this or that part of a Combat Ops mission works without manually placing objects?

Is it possible to copy parts of the world between two worlds?

Like only this part

[red forum]

But the Area already has a trigger built in by default, doesn’t it?

[nova onyx]

You can copy the world and then copy from it.

[nova onyx]

It does not.

[red forum]

Can you help me set up the following situation and is it possible to do this using a Scenario Аramework?

The player enters the trigger, things appear in it according to the same pattern.
The player exits the trigger, things are still in it for some time.
Then he comes in again and other things are created

[nova onyx]

The Dynamic Despawn is separate system that is optimized for Areas specifically. Triggers would eat more performance when used on very large areas 😅.

[red forum]

How can i do this?

[nova onyx]

Use SlotTrigger 🙂

[red forum]

If I add a trigger to show a hint, will I then disable Dynamic Despawn system?

[nova onyx]

You can disable it for that Slot specifically - Exclude From Dynamic Despawn attribute 😅.

[red forum]

It turns out that I will need to create my own system and I won’t be able to use Dynamic Despawn system?

[nova onyx]

I see you have a lot of general questions, I would recommend reading our Wiki about ScenarioFramework here:
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Scenario_Framework

[nova onyx]

Not at all.

It should be possible with the tools that ScenarioFramework already offers 😄

[red forum]

I read this, there are no answers to my questions, unfortunately 😦

[red forum]

I definitely didn’t find the answer to this question on the wiki 😦

If you can help me with my search, I would really appreciate it

[nova onyx]

Then perhaps read it again since you missed the Exclude From Dynamic Despawn attribute. There are also videos from @lean scroll that could help you out 😅
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdZDI5pvKvA&list=PLACt0Y23f-92UjVNKiODHzA9pnnGl-Lpj

[red forum]

Okay, I'll try again to find the answer to my question there

[red forum]

But can you at least help with this?

This definitely doesn't work

How can I find other missions created using the Scenario Framework to understand how to create certain things?

[lean scroll]

@red forum look in the MP folder when in enfusion workbench.

Theres 2 combat ops missions there.
Theres a shit ton of samples here.

[red forum]

This is not enough to solve my questions

[red forum]

#enfusion_scenario message

Do you know how to do this?

[lean scroll]

Yes.

You have a very specific request so trying to find scenarios that use SF would be a waste of time.

[red forum]

Can you show how to do this?

[lean scroll]

No. I have enough on my plate at this time.
My advice to you is get the basics down. Start small and build up. Fail. Fail again. Learn from failures, and keep trying. The system is not hard once you get the basics down. And you will learn far more then me showing how to do it.

[keen phoenix]

Does anybody know yet how to create SlotAI spawned upon trigger activation that follow preset waypoints? It works when I set the layer at the start, but not when set to spawn on trigger activation

[jade haven]

Heyo, anyone know how to hide structures from the base map?

Also how to put AI in vehicles

[jade haven]

also, AmbientPatrolSpawnpoint_USSR isn't actually spawning in any troops, any ideas?

[weak spire]

It will take a lot of work, but in theory you can open an empty Eden or Arland map and copy everything from the filled. Dont forget to set up all that needed to be correctly to map run properly. And then it all depends on your imagination- close/delete objects or use DeleteEntity activation action.

[lone jacinth]

#enfusion_generic message

tldr, subscene of base_eden. open reg eden, copy all entities. Give it a minute, open subscene of base_eden & paste

[glossy folio]

If I put its dependency mod, can I take advantage of the counterattack scripts? Well, without a doubt I will put your mod

[wild trellis]

Yes

It will change your ambient patrol spawnpoints, adding new variables for number of waves, group size, and a check box for vehicle patrols.

[wild trellis]

Afaik the fia ones are the only ones that spawn ai.

For my pve mission, I replaced fia with ussr characters/groups/vehicles etc.

[hollow snow]

Lay down a getinnearest waypoint 1st then the cycle Waypoint so have your Ai set or pointed towards 2 waypoints with the vehicle set up you want.Also if you are using say a group of 2 sentry team have them approach the vehicle from few metres away not too tight to the vehicle from 7-8 oclock from the vehicles heading and they never fail to get in for me-best of luck.

[jade haven]

Gotcha, wont this mean that players who play it have to download the new map as well, taking up a bunch more space?

[jade haven]

Thank you, and I appreciate the guide!! If it doesn't break my players hard drives i'll do it!

[jade haven]

Really? Those were the ones I was using and it simply decided to not, even after ensuring everything was set up and AI function in Zeus mods. I'll keep tickling it

[jade haven]

Gotcha! A smart work around, thank you very kindly! Espetially now that I figured out hwo to do waypoints!

[wild trellis]

Sorry your post said you were using the ussr ones. I use the fia ones.

I also don't use any "Zeus" mods.

[jade haven]

That's suck a good point, I did switch to USSR but failed to mention that my bad! I'll see about getting it to work tho

[wild trellis]

If you study the vanilla conflict mission, you need _notspawned groups under fia faction to use the ambient patrol spawnpoints for fia.

You can also load up my scenarios map to see how I changed things under faction manager to make it work.

[silk sigil]

what is the difference between faction_key and label_faction in faction manager

[lean scroll]

Faction Key is a Unique identifier of the faction that was filled in i.e. FactionAffiliationComponent SampleFactionREDFOR
Faction Label Default faction loadout - this option is currently used (& defined) in Conflict. <--- OLD INFO. I don't think this just applies to conflict, and is used elsewhere.

[silk sigil]

thanks. faction_label seems to be something for GM in conflicts.

so, a faction key is used in loadout manager?

[lean scroll]

The key is used everywhere.

label is everywhere as well now. I used label in SF mode.

[silk sigil]

gotcha. I'm a little confused actually. When I changed the label, the in-game building system lost all the vanilla things.

[lean scroll]

IDK

[charred wasp]

@nova onyx would it be possible to Spawn Objects in Framework delayed? If you trigger a lot of layers with SlotAI, the game and server gets laggy for 1 - 2 Seconds.

[nova onyx]

There is already a delay internally on several different places, but you could create a setup with actions to achieve this behaviour but in case you have a lot of such objects, it will be very mesy setup. You could easily adjust the script and rewrite the constant variable that is there and increase the number 😅.

[charred wasp]

Do you know the Var name?

[nova onyx]

static const int SPAWN_DELAY = 200;

[charred wasp]

ty 😉

[nova onyx]

It is in milliseconds 😅.

[charred wasp]

yeah

[little sequoia]

Willie seconds

[charred wasp]

i do a random int between 100 - 1000 i think this could solve the lag

[nova onyx]

You can also set the m_fMemberSpawnDelay on the SCR_AIGroup prefab 😅

It is attribute so no coding needed 😅.

[charred wasp]

Then its only effect AI Groups but some layers also Spawing Vehicles, Civilians, Triggers, Task...

[nova onyx]

Yes, but most lag comes from spawning a lot of AI Characters at the same time 😅.

Then vehicles.

[charred wasp]

i already have a member delay of 1000

[nova onyx]

Triggers and Tasks or some other simple objects are fraction compared to just 1 AI character

[charred wasp]

But its always 1000 So if you Spawn 10 Groups, all members will be Spawned 1000 delayed

[nova onyx]

Correct

[charred wasp]

i will test the random delay in the Layer, and if this does not help, i script it into the Group

[nova onyx]

[charred wasp]

If no player is close to the AI group, would it be better to just disable AI or delete all Members?

[silk sigil]

vanilla ambientPatrolSystem uses deactivate. I've tried deleteEntity(group). Can't tell which is better.

[nova onyx]

Depending on your use case and what fits you better 😅

[charred wasp]

The question is, what is better for server load/performance.

[lean scroll]

For QRF Dispatcher, are there plans to have vehicle QRF?

[silk sigil]

get AI spawned and registered with a vehicle, then set a getin waypoint?

They removed hitregmanager, all the tutorials use it, what can I put as a substitute?

[nova onyx]

You don't have to worry about it, it is currently an omnipresent system 😅.

[glossy folio]

Is it not necessary to place it? There are two elements that I can't find, the hitreg is one of them, the other I don't remember the name but it's for this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4ewLYbzNIU

[digital creek]

This tutorial is 2 years old, it's outdated in that regard

Looking for some help, I basically ported everon combat ops added rhs faction instead of the vanilla ussr. I can local host it. But when I put it on my dedicated server. I cannot join. I get an error on the server (inconsistent item table on slave connection. item is missing or different item was loaded in its place) and (kick cause code group=1 replication reason=8) client side. I can load and play other missions on my dedicated tho.

[fickle harness]

Hello, anyone experience where your SlotAI gets de-spawned. I currently have two spawned, when I load in, I see both, second one despawns immediately. Wondering where this is being handled.

It doesn't seem to matter if they are placed under my own area > layer > slotAI. Something is overriding it and despawning -- presumably a component in GameModeSF? Thanks in advance.

[chrome ice]

Is there a getter somewhere? I know I use logic counters to delete and create spawns close to where I want things to happen. I use a getter trigger action to delete the slot of the spawnpoint I don't want anymore. Also, maybe you have a random multiple setup. I'm a very new mission maker, and it's probably something else, just throwing out some ideas

[lean scroll]

It's your scenario. I was getting the same error. I don't remember the exact cause, but it's something with RHS. Port over a clean copy from CO:Everon. And test without mods. Then bring in mods.

[humble acorn]

Hello everyone, for start i'd like to thank @lean scroll for great tutorial videos but i have a problem 😦 . I have created "dummy" TaskMove but i'm having a little trouble with that. For start. I created Task ( Area<-LayerTaskMove<-SlotMoveTo ), i see the task in the list and i can assign that task (get notify "Objective assigned" ...). When i move into "SlotMoveTo", the task disappear from list but withou any "Objective complete" notification and functions like "OnTaskFinish" don't work either. It's stupid because I create all TASKS the same way 😦

[lean scroll]

Show the object properties for the Area and Task Layers for TEST Layer. Close/Minimize all the attributes that do not have any changes so we can see the ones that do. IE OntaskFinish, OnTaskCreate, etc. @humble acorn

[humble acorn]

All "generic entities" are in default, only changes are enable debug and change Title

The difference between this "Test task" and the functional ones (in layer C_Tasks) is that it creates another TASK onFinishTask (for example this one)

@lean scroll I think I got it figured out. Objective complete will not appear if you complete the task without "spawn", but only select the "play from camera position" option

[humble acorn]

Has anyone figured out how to spawn prefabs onFinishTask? for example vehicle? I've created Slot.et with "On_Trigger_activation" and in onFinishTask added SCR_ScenarioFrameworkActionSpawnObjects with name of the Slot entity but the vehicle will not spawn. Any help or hint what im doing wrong ? 😄

[rough pivot]

anyone have the link to making loadouts via the faction loadout selection? Like rifleman, Medic, Gunner, Etc. Im just trying to add more base loadouts.

Is there a way to slow down the AI driving. They all drive like they need to get to a bathroom super fast.

Haven't done it myself, but I seem to remember someone made a duplicate of the vehicle being used and slowed down the max speed of the vehicle itself

[little sequoia]

That's one way to describe it 😂

When in doubt, look for a component.

[jade haven]

I keep getting this issue where despite setting everything up as I've been told, this happens. (Yes I set MapEntity and SCR_AIWorld w/ the Arland presets (I am on Arland)

[jade haven]

I think it's arland, Eden works fine

[lean scroll]

You ran the gamemode setup plugin for GM mode?

[humble acorn]

When you import Gamemode ( that GM_Arland world ) you already have the managers in it. Try to delete them from your editable “world” and try play again.

[charred wasp]

Hey, is there a way to move the Ai instantly in a Vehicle? The GetIn and GetInNearest takes to long. So, if you spawning a layer by Player trigger, it can be happend that the player already reach the enemy Vehicle, but the Ai is still trying to board it.

[jade haven]

Yup! I also modified MapEntity and AIWORLD

[jade haven]

I did, tried replacing them or running without them, same issues

[lean scroll]

Well I just did it on arland using using game mode setup. No probem.

Curious but why do you have 2 worlds... GM_Arland, and un-named?

Looks like your double loading gamemodes.

[jade haven]

Oh I think at that point I ran the plugin again because I was annoyed, either way I’m also kinda worried it’s my game itself now since ambient patrols also aren’t working, so imma verify (and steal this photo of yours to make goddamn sure I’ve got all the starting things)

Also, thank you so kindly for your help, and loading up a game of your own!

[lean scroll]

Post a screen shot once you think you have it.

[humble acorn]

Which is better for vehicle delivery task if i want to deliver specific vehicle? SlotMoveTo or SlotDeliver (with PrefabInTrigger)

[jade haven]

Wilco, and thank you!

[fickle harness]

What’s the best way or how do I enable one life events? Thanks in advance

[jade haven]

If I’m understanding you right, you can make it so the respawn is in a contained area and teleport your units outside of that area to start playing. Otherwise they get trapped.

[jade haven]

hey, I got it all working. It could have been restarting my computer, it could have been verifying both games things, but it's working!

Also, I realized that doubling thing you saw earlier, I'm not sure wtf that was but whateves, It's no longer an issue 'cause it fixed on reload of Arland.et (I think I hit GM_Arland or smth)

eyy she works now! Y'all are fantastic

if anyone has any advice on waypoints though, I'd be extatic

currently I'm placing down:
AIWaypoint_Move

AIWaypoint_Move

AIWaypoint_Move

AIWaypoint_Cycle

and then putting/nesting all 4 of those things under the unit I want to move

And using the Ambient FIA spawner doesn't spawn anything 😦

[jade haven]

Wait, AI just don't work actually. They don't even respond to me shooting them

shit, and ideas?

[charred wasp]

If the AI is not shooting, check the faction related stuff and make sure they all have a group. Without group AI will not work.

[jade haven]

hmmmm, GroupAI is a script thing?

[charred wasp]

Nope, Group Prefabs. {000CD338713F2B5A}Prefabs/AI/Groups/Group_Base.et

@jade haven perception manager?

hmm, gotcha, perception is on and navmesh is properly set, I think

(it's in Soldier -> btr -> low res nav meshes)

[jade haven]

Wait, do I have to set perception manager to something specific

[humble acorn]

Has anyone figured out how PlaySoundOnEntity works? I want to add sound for user action. For example- you got action on CIV NPC and when you use it it will play the sound.

[lean scroll]

nope. drag and drop

[jade haven]

Hmm, darn, thank you immensely though!

[lean scroll]

Another pro-tip from a non-professional..
If you add the SCR_CampaignBuildingManagerComponent to the gamemodeSF.et, the default one is missing quite a bit of Composition Layouts. 61 to be precise.
Instead of copying and pasting each one of those 61 layouts to your gamemode, do this.

1. Drop a gamemode_campaign in your world.
2. Go to the "SCR_CampaignBuildingManagerComponent in gamemode_campaign.
3. Find a unlocked folder, like images or art or missions.
4. Drag and drop the "SCR_CampaignBuildingManagerComponent" from gamemode_campaign into the unlocked folder.
5. Then find your gamemodeSF.
6. Drag and drop "SCR_CampaignBuildingManagerComponent" from the unlock folder on to the SCR_BaseGameMode.
7. Delete the gamemode from the world, and the component in the folder when finished.

[jade haven]

Question, is there a spot I can easily find documentation about these components? The main scenario editor thing doesn’t have a lot in there

This is what I've got going

[lean scroll]

you have a mod or something incorrect. Because when I shoot AI they react rather angrily, yell something at russian at me, and proceed to light my ass up.

why?

[jade haven]

that's the units I wanna use

[lean scroll]

well I understand that, but wish in one hand and crap in the other, and see which one fills up first. Obviously that mod does not work as expected, so you may have to adjust if you want to create a scenario.

First build it without a mod.

and test.

[jade haven]

that's valid, I can also always just puit units down in the thing

yeah I'll do that

it's just my game actually, even the ruski doesn't react to 5.56 entering his leg

This is the setup

[jade haven]

wait, you, come back.

Can you not just place down Characters individually? Do I have to use the Group ones? (Like Group_Base.et, or Group_FIA_AmmoTeam.et?)

T H A T W A S T H E P R O B L E M

gonna test with modded units real fast

that was the issue

okay, they need to be in a group, you can't place them down like in 3den

[lean scroll]

Another pro-tip from a non-professional...
If you are using the create, set, and get variable actions in the scenario framework you may find it not working under certain conditions.
For example 2 tasks with create variables for each task A and B (var A and var B), and get variables on another task C. So task C (get var A and B) won't activate unless task A (create var A) and task B (create var B) are present.
To get this to work you must nest task C in a layer, and do a "wait and execute" and spawn object, task C. Set the wait time 5 or 10 seconds.
What is happening is task C is getting created before or at the same time as task A and task B, and it doesn't see var A and B, and then it never activates.

I'll do up a video on this soon.

[wise mountain]

How do you make the AI actually get into a BTR with waypoints?

[lean scroll]

which game mode?

[wise mountain]

SCR

I'm using Lobby game mode from reforger lobby

I've tried waypoint getin, getinnearest and getinselected but they all just stand around the vehicle and never actually just get in

AIworld navmesh is setup

Perception manager is there

The units have the BTR listed in their list of static vehicles

[lean scroll]

IDK what game mode that is since it is a mod. So reach out to the owner of the mod.

The game mode determines what components to use.

[wise mountain]

oh my god that's frustrating

Do you know of a working, plug and play game mode that lets you run missions like ArmA 3 if reforger lobby isn't good enough

The community is Russian and I Don't even know wher eto find them

My community has been using that for missions but if it can't even make a BTR drive across the map then its no good

[lean scroll]

I wouldn't say reforger lobby isn't good enough.

Are you trying to make your own scenarios? Why not just use the scenario framework? or Campaign game mode?

[wise mountain]

We wanted the slot screen, pre-set loadouts and briefings that reforger lobby offered

And we wanted to do it without reinventing the wheel

[lean scroll]

ok. And that is what that mod offers I believe.
Why don't you find PvE scenario, and add the reforger lobby to the server. IDK alot about Reforger lobby, and the setup, but should work with other scenarions.

[digital creek]

I don't think it's an issue with RL, this works for me

[wise mountain]

Apparently reforger lobby is part of scenario framework

[lean scroll]

no that is wrong

Scenario Framework is built into the game, and is used to create COOP scenarios.

[digital creek]

Do the other waypoints work?

Like a regular Move waypoint

[wise mountain]

Yes everything works but the getin waypoints

[digital creek]

GetInNearest should work

[wise mountain]

It doesn't

They just stand around outside of the vehicle for some reason

[digital creek]

If they are assigned to the waypoint, you could use the behavior editor to look into what's going on, if you have no idea otherwise

Once you hit play, you can select that groups behavior tree in the bottom left, and see what's going on inside it

But I would say, most likely it's an issue with how you set things up

[wise mountain]

I have a group of FIA rifle squad

I have a btr called BTR1

A way point called getinBTR1 which is type getinnearest

The group has the BTR1 assigned as a static vehicle, and also has their way point being getinBTR1

[nova onyx]

We did? 🤔

Source?

How can I make my mission save progress and not restart every time the server restarts?

[fickle harness]

Does anyone know how to have the AI turn on their flashlights via scenario framework?

[lean scroll]

What I've seen...
AI automatically turn on their flashlights after a certain time if they have a flashlight.
Look at the character components. It would be in there if anywhere.

[fickle harness]

I did but didn’t find anything to change the behavior. I was hoping I could use something like onit, getter > turn on flashlight. I know this works for VICS, but characters it doesn’t.

[kindred rose]

Is that how you get AI to spawn in vehicles?

[wild trellis]

I know in conflict the ai automatically turn on their flashlights when it's dark and no danger is detected. Might only be squad lead, idk.

[lean scroll]

I still haven't been able to create a composition of AI and Vehicle.

[fickle harness]

Will check it out to see if there is something in conflict mode.

I’ve tried modifying it via scripting but still can’t get it to work.

[fickle harness]

Is there a reason you want them in vs near and having them GetInNearest?

[elfin spear]

Where do i find settings for the World Editor graphics?
I would like to increase view distance, and maybe disable things i don't really need rn like waving foliage, grass, whatever possible, but mainly i NEED more view distance than what feels like 500m

[wraith shoal]

is there any other place to edit save session settings other than this?

[gritty vortex]

if its empty it might take the name from the world name, check logs for errors

for example if you have spaces in the name it will log a warning and break like its software in 1995

[wraith shoal]

i had a name specified also and the same problem

no spaces

[gritty vortex]

just doing my best to answer your question, its impossible to say what the issue is on your end without knowing your project or at least seeing logs

[wraith shoal]

the only error i can recognize related to save session is this:

12:25:33.204   SCRIPT    (E): Invalid SmartAction id!
12:27:26.091 SCRIPT       : SCR_LatestSaveDSSessionCallback: LocalSave: .LatestSave

not much info

[gritty vortex]

what about errors you are not familiar with but others might be

[wraith shoal]

12:23:03.429 BACKEND      : Loading dedicated server config.
12:23:03.429  RESOURCES    : GetResourceObject @"{0D4D173A4D437792}Missions/EveronConflictPvEREDUX.conf"

12:23:03.429  RESOURCES (E): MissionHeader::ReadMissionHeader cannot load the resource 'Missions/EveronConflictPvEREDUX.conf'!

🤔

well, if this is not reading correctly the mission header there may be the problem, since there is the save config

but why is not finding it

the id changes eventually on publish to workshop?

hmm, looks like it was that, the id was different now

[elfin spear]

What happens if i do not give AI soldier a radio?
I assume the AI does not need it to "communicate" within group (share target info, etc.).
Is there anything the AI would need it for? or does the radio have any real use only for players?

[fickle harness]

This will also be thrown if you have an outdated or bad mod. Remove mods and see if it works. Try another scenario/mission header.

[wraith shoal]

i notice yes, thx, will check it

[wild trellis]

I get that on server yet the scenario still runs fine

[gritty vortex]

this error, when it's visible 1 time, it's harmless

when it's visible 2 times, it means the file associated with it is missing, as first error is shown before the mods are loaded

[fickle harness]

Probably has something to do with those horrible bacon mods. Who knows! 😂 ❤️

[gritty vortex]

ah yeah if theres a bacon mod in there just remove it

If I can make a composition of a vehicle with AI in the seats then I don't need a getInNearest WP. I can also create a vehicle with each seat custom loaded.

[elfin spear]

What is the recommended way to add some items into a vehicle (or unit's) inventory?
(without having to create custom prefabs for every single vehicle/unit i want different loadout - that would be an INSANE kind of workflow)

[digital creek]

Editing the SCR_UniversalInventoryStorageManagerComponent for vehicles
SCR_InventoryStorageManagerComponent for characters (though these are rarely placed directly in the world, so prefabs are still necessary)

[digital creek]

#enfusion_ai message

[elfin spear]

Is there some tutorial for this? I don't understand what am i supposed to do with that script.

Also, i cannot find SCR_InventoryStorageManagerComponent script, the closest thing i found is called SCR_UniversalInventoryStorageComponent
edit: never mind this, i made a typo in filter 🙂 but i still don't know what to do with that script

Ooops, nope, i can't read nor write.. I really really cannot find SCR_UniversalInventoryStorageManagerComponent script

[elfin spear]

So, i couldn't figure out that SCR_UniversalInventoryStorageManagerComponent, but i added SCR_ScenarioFrameworkActionAddItemToInventory script to the OnInit of the placed vehicle, and that works - question is: is that how i should do this?

[crude spindle]

Does anyone know why I get this error (E): Trying to register a SCR_LoadoutManager, but one is already registered! when using the gamemode setup tool? the only SCR_LoadoutManager is within the 'GameMode_Editor_Full'. I just spawn as a MG as the loadout manager doesnt seem to work from the gamemode setup tool

[digital creek]

When you place the vehicle in the world, you can search its components for the SCR_UniversalInventoryStorageComponent.
In there, you can add items by adding MultiSlotConfigurations to the Multi Slots array.

[elfin spear]

Where do i "search its components" ?
Does it needs a certain way of placing the vehicle? - i do that by first placing a Slot, then adding the vehicle into that slot's Object to spawn.
When i select the vehicle, i can filter components in its Object Properties, but typing even the word "inventory" into the filter just makes everything in the obj properties disappear.

[elfin spear]

Yeah, that is not what i see. What i see is this:

[digital creek]

Oh, right

Yeah, it's not possible this way

[elfin spear]

I am obviously new to this, so i was following some YT tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/@blackheart_six), and the guy stressed out that this is how you place stuff - that you must use the slot - but i guess there is some other method then?

...wait, don't tell me i can just drag the vehicle into the view directly???
I didn't even try, because i thought you have to do everything via this new super convoluted way! let me see...

[digital creek]

I haven't used the ScF in a while, I thought you placed them directly as children to the slots.

Well, you can always place things into the world directly, yes.

[elfin spear]

OMG, ok 😄

[digital creek]

But this way, they're not spawned by the framework, so not based on mission logic.

[elfin spear]

right, so placing the directly is probably convenient only for things that you want always present, so not something dependent on some misison conditions, or such?

[digital creek]

If you wanted to spawn it using the slot, you would either have to create your own inheriting vehicle prefab with these items, or script it.

[digital creek]

Yes

How to lock certain door in certain building?

...i assume a custom script will be needed?
but i don't even know how to get the building object

Alternatively - would it be possible to block the door by some invisible barrier, preventing the user action to open the door from showing up?

[elfin spear]

I didn't find any invisible block/wall (if there is one somewhere, or there is a way to create it easily, please somebody tell me).
But i found a workaround in form of placing separate door in front of the building door, and disabling all components related to door functionality.

It is not perfect, because the real building door user action is still available (maybe because i had to place the door too close), but at least even if the door open (they open into the other room, fortunately), the way is still blocked by the static door that remain in place.

.
btw. when i press Left Control, it keeps toggling the debug/diag in the view window - is that some glitch, or did i somehow activate this by accident?

[elfin spear]

It was the General display stuck for some reason, pressing Ctrl + NumPad 2 (as if the numpad key was stuck).

[chrome maple]

ive got a quick question, Im doing my own custom conflict and I know how to turn the base radio distance down but my question is how do i turn down the distance of the built radio towers.

[elfin spear]

How would you solve this annoying "opaque light cover" problem?
Can i somehow break the light on mission start, and place a different object in its place? (i can't seem to be able to break it though)

[fickle harness]

Ok, this is a head scratcher.

With the QRF dispatcher, why does the second wave and seems subsequent waves decide to go into the opposite direction of the initial waypoint? Wave 1, does great, rest not so much. I’ve tried messing with all the settings and can’t seem to fix it.

How to turn on radio (RadioSmall_01_black) using a trigger?
I placed the radio on the ground, i renamed it to 'RADIO', and then i made a trigger (SCR_BaseTriggerEntity) and in its OnActivate i am trying to get the RADIO thing:
IEntity radio = GetGame().GetWorld().FindEntityByName("RADIO");

and then i would like to get its RadioBroadcastComponent, but i don't know how - there is some function GetRadioBCComponent but in the docs it is caleld on a TurnOnUserAction, which doesn't make any sense to me.
I am lost 🙂

I would except that i could do radio.GetRadioBCComponent(), but no?

[elfin spear]

Problem solved.

[elfin spear]

Any good tutorials (for dummies like me) about adding a custom audio file in my mission, and make it play in a loop from an object when activated?
(i can probably figure out the last part, but the adding of the sound into the mission... that is where i am totally lost)

[humble acorn]

How exactly does it work? I mean the PlaySoundOnEntity action. I'm trying to make it so that when you click on an NPC it triggers the sound from the game (like a piano or organ)

[elfin spear]

I don't know. I didn't find anything yet.
So far i was only got one part of what i need working via a modified radio broadcast using a RadioSmall_01_black, utilizing already existing game sounds.
I haven't got anywhere further yet.

[elfin spear]

How to lock a vehicle, so you cannot access anything? (not just prevent getting in front seats).

I placed a ScenarioFramework slot, set the Object To Spawn to UAZ469.
I want it initially locked, so i add SCR_ScenarioFrameworkActionLockOrUnlockVehicle into that slot's OnInit and check the 'Lock' checkbox.
The game only prevents me from sitting on a driver seat and front "copilot" seat.
But i can still open ALL doors, i can access vehicle inventory, and i can get in the back seats.
What is oging on???

(i can also load/unload supplies - which reminds me, how do i remove/hide these actions? my mission does not utilize that functionality)

Aha... nevermind, looking at the SCR_ScenarioFrameworkActionLockOrUnlockVehicle scripts reveals that it seems to be by design (what a weird design)

no wait... i read it wrong, it should be doing SetProtectOnlyDriverSeat(false);, so.. why?

Contrary to its name, it seems that script is not for locking vehicles.
So how do you lock a vehicle?

[humble acorn]

I have found that SCR_ScriptedUserAction can be used for "Play effect sound", but idk how to use variants of this Sound Effect Event Name

[humble acorn]

for info: I've found that i (maybe) must override/duplicate .acp and change sample in Sound Event bank. I'll take a look at it later today, but it might solve the problem and give u a way to record your own sounds/conversations in the future

How to add a custom User Action to all vehicles?
Do i have to edit them all, or is there some list of basic generic actions they may be inheriting somehow, that i missed?

For example, if i look at UAZ468.et, it has the ActionsManagerComponenet filled with various actions.
But when i look at the related component scripts, i don't see much in there - seems like all these additional actions are added via editing the prefab's Attributes.
That seems weird, considering all that modern inheritance features and whatnot.

So, what would be the best way to add my special User Action to all vehicles?
And what would be the recommended way? (if different from the best way)

[dapper jewel]

Can I open up the official Conflict scenario and edit it to my liking?

[unkempt stratus]

That's more config than mission editing. Actions manager adds the action to the object where you want it to be, like the door. Other actions are added by the components of the entity like BaseLightManager or SCR_BaseCompartmentManagerComponent, then there's other components that call for other actions in what seems to be a maze of scripts. Anyway If you want to add a script you can make a component and add it to the vehicles you want.

[elfin spear]

I thought Reforger doesn't have configs anymore and everything is in those prefabs ?

[unkempt stratus]

I meant https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/976159689668722718

Take a look inside and you will find scripts, configs and all that. Some components are not configurable and just call for scripts or configs, I guess.

[lean scroll]

No. You may copy the components and paste, then edit to your liking. If you copy and paste to the same world, then copy and paste on same position.

[dapper jewel]

Thanks, thought I was too dumb to find it. I would have loved to have the same capture point locations, but guess I will have to place them from scratch.

[lean scroll]

Are you using a different world or same world?

[spiral coral]

Go to wheeled_base.et prefab and add it to that

all wheeled vehicles inherit from wheeled_base

[dapper jewel]

Same world, Everon and later down the line Arland

[lean scroll]

Ok, the you can do a one for one copy, and paste on same position. Save you a ton of time.

I ran into another problem. Does anyone know if SlotDelivery has any limitation on the number in Area.et? I have multiple SlotDelivery in Area.et, but only the first one in the sequence seems to work (depending on FinishTaskToCreateTask). The first vehicle I transport works and performs the OnFinish action I want and spawn the next TaskDelivery. The next delivery appears in the Task list, but when I deliver the vehicle the mission doesn't complete and nothing happens. All TaskDeliveries are set up the same, the only difference is in the Prefabs and OnTaskFinish

[queen jacinth]

I'm running a campaign as GM for my group, based on a variant of the standard GM Eden mission where I have customized loadouts etc. I can't figure out how to remove the group leader map marker, which is ruining the vibe I'm going for. Does anyone know what script sets this behavior? Hoping someone here can help, because I've exhausted my google fu to no avail, except for finding others asking the same question with no answers.

Nvm, asking here evidently helped because I immediately found this: https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/61C8AD57503CA770-NoSLMarkers

[lean scroll]

Isn't that always the way? I do that all the time. LOL! As soon as I ask the question, I find the answer. DOH!
It should be a fairly straight forward process to disable the SL marker if you are using workbench. Most likely don't need the mod if you can dissect it. I believe it's in a .conf file or .layout.

[lean scroll]

search "map squad .layout". Override the file. Uncheck "enabled" and "isVisable" in behavior attribute, from root on down. Haven't tested yet.

[queen jacinth]

Big fat thanks @lean scroll I'll bake it into the mission file so we get to reduce the mod set.

[lean scroll]

EXACTLY!

[queen jacinth]

...but now that I'm evidently in the right place, let me follow it up with a not-as-easy question: Is there a simple way to make an incognito script? I had a browse through the one that governs the heat levels in Overthrow, but it does a lot more than I'd want and I'm not clear on how it keeps the AI from shooting. Setting perceptible to 0 somehow I guess? Also I would have thought there to be an IsSeen event handler of some sort, but I can't find anything like that in the documentation. Overthrow solves it with checking LoS on every enemy unit within a certain range, which seems compute intensive and a bit clumsy.

[lean scroll]

[wise mountain]

Yeah I thikn the getinnearest and getout waypoints are totally busted

[humble acorn]

Same as IntelDelivery tasks. At one point I have five different IntelDelivery tasks. You complete one and the others mysteriously stop working. You pick up the items, the task updates, but you can't deliver them. You bring them to DeliveryPoint, but nothing happens. What else happens is that when you complete the task, the Item doesn't disappear from your inventory. 😞 I'm getting a little irritated😅

[hollow snow]

thats a good forward thinking question alongside "maintaining stealth" just like dynamic recon/combat ops missions in A3 we all know and love (could lowering Ai perception and taking away flashlights and playing at night this be acheived at this stage) and i think it is taking off now Enfusion modding now we have Ai commanding and driving what we have all been waiting for-The scenario Framework is where its at and best work will come from there i believe

[hollow snow]

Take a look at combat ops Eden for inspiration or solutions on delivery task which requires x amount of items to be placed in selected container or box for completion

[lean scroll]

Setting waypoint priority induces a lack of perception of AI. There are 3 values assigned. 0, 1000 and 2000. Pressing the up/down arrows on the field displays this. I haven't tested fully but do know if you set a waypoint priority to 2000, you can walk right up to AI with no reaction. Now is this intentional? or is this bugged? IDK. Doesn't make any sense that prioritizing a waypoint would induce a lack of perception in AI.

[humble acorn]

Thanks, i checked the ingame Sample missions and @lean scroll tutorials. I created a hierarchy same but it's still behaving mysteriously. It's different every time I test it.

[hollow snow]

thats intetesting info i had few hours of fun with waypoints using civ where waypoint number 2 is simply down the road (concrete main road) but no they seem to know better and took a durt track the very long way round il play around with prioritising too its funny they have a mind of their own luv it,mabye just 3 simple waypoints is the sweet spot right now

[lean scroll]

I only use 3 patrol waypoints across everon. One North, one south, and one west. Let them path find. I did slow the speeds down on the vehicles.

[humble acorn]

Did anyone figured out how to modify vehicle stations? For example: just with one specific vehicle or full custom with vehicles from mods

[hollow snow]

yeah thank you so much ive followed your lead on that lowered cruising speed and set fuel consumption on zero value too,we all have epic visions but keeping things simple at this stage is a good habit to be in.I know i can set i think is acceptable road or path types seen that somewhere but my thinking is it was for infantry pathfinding.Also did you get anywhere with a vic patrol active across the whole game world or are we taking the hit on vic budgets(which is no drama really) and having LOD action set and dynamic despawn disabled on said vehicle and Ai as the solution for now?

[lean scroll]

Don't you edit the vehicle entity catalog and check or uncheck BUILD mode or use the faction manager?

[lean scroll]

Until they fix the issue with the AI and vehicles despawning and respawning correctly, have to leave the dynamic despawn off.

I am thinking of circular filing the whole AI vehicle patrol system at this point. And use it in a more limited fashion. Like QRF response. I have it working pretty good for vehicle ambush tasks.
Flooded with error messages about incorrect tiles.

[hollow snow]

That sounds interesting too i also have for now have simple AI vic patrol layer active on objectspawn finished action from either when the slotmoveto is complete or target vic is destroyed just to have another small vic patrol in that active AO or like a min or two behind the ambush target vic acting as a response team in keeping with the simulation and of course keeping the players frosty too

[elfin spear]

How do i create override of specific door in a specific building?
I need to prevent the players from being able to open the door, unless some conditions are met.

I thought i could select the original door inside that building in the Eden -> default layer (which is of course read-only), right click and chose something like Create override in MyTestProject - but i don't see any such option.

I conclude that there must be other way to do this, but i can't seem to figure it out.

[elfin spear]

What could be the reason why vehicles cannot move anymore?

I have a world based on Everon, making some mission.
I have some UAZ placed in there, one directly, another via slot.
I used to be able to drive them when starting the game preview, but no more.
I can still interact with them, get in, turn on lights, start engine - everything seem to work normal, except they don't move.

I suspect i might have unintentionally removed some crucial component from teh wheeled_base i override, or did some other unintentional change to it.
But i don't know what it could be.

Or could it be some GameMode component i may have deleted by mistake?
What do vehicles need to be able to move? some physics component? engine component? something else? how is it called?

Aaand now it suddenly works again.
In the process of trying to figure it out, i closed the Workbench, so maybe it got stuck in some weird state, and restart fixed it.
I don't know.

[lean scroll]

@elfin spear You may need to hit Shift-R after making a change. Script reload.

Guys one tip. I have done task which is completed by UserAction (flush toilet, play piano, custom action…). Do it just like the wiki instructions, just use LayerTaskMove-SlotMoveTo and put SlotMoveTo high above the action location. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Scenario_Framework#GenericTask

That wasn't the problem, i always rebuild the script after modifications - even if only to verify there is no syntax error.

How to add some items into a vehicle's inventory?
Vehicle is placed in the world directly, not into a Slot.et

Seems like SCR_UniversalInventoryStorageComponent is the thing to use

@humble acorn
Yep I think your results are to be expected. And the reason why is you are not adding any action to the generic task. Just typing in the task name and description will not show the task.
From the wiki...

1.2.0
GenericTask
Goal: Create a Task linked to user action that will display the hint and finish the task - in this case, target user action will be our infamous Flush the toilet to complete the Scenario.

Setup: It is achieved by having an Area with LayerTask which has SlotTask that has On User Action Event added to the Activation Actions under the OnInit category. This user action is linked to a namedToilet entity that is placed in the world outside the ScenarioFramework hierarchy. Action ID is set to 0 as the Flush the toilet action has this ID in this case. Then there are two additional actions in the Actions list that will be activated upon someone using linked user action. First will display a hint using Show Hint. Second will change the task state to FINISHED for the LayerTask. Lastly, the OnTaskFinish has Action Wait and Execute that after 2 seconds will activate End Mission Action.

Mechanics: Area spawns the LayerTask which spawns SlotTask that will attach the User Action Event listener on toilet. Upon someone activating the user action, it will show a hint, then finish a task and then it will finish the mission. In order to finish this task, you need to flush the toilet.

The generic task is blank. You have to provide the mechanics to make it do something or it doesn't display.
For a test, in the slotTask, add "Object to Spawn" the triggerdominance.et prefab.

SCENARIO FRAMEWORK SUGGESTION:

• Allow the use of the QRF Dispacher on layers and not just areas.
• About 90% of my tasks are trigger activated, and located in a single "area.et" used as a container.
• I can't use QRFDispacher.conf in the activation action in the area container because it only allows a single QRFSpawnpointlayer to be referenced.
• If I could apply the QRFDispacher to the OnInt activation action task layer then I would be able to place the QRFSpawnpointlayer in the task layer, and point to it. This would eliminate the need to build qrf with traditional method or layers, slots, and waypoints.

[humble acorn]

Whatabout hierarchy Area~Layer-Area-layertask? 😅Actually i never tested such a crazy thing 😅

I'm making my own qrf for the reason that QRF dispatch doesn't respond to destroyed vehicles 😅

Area must be at the top AFAIK.

Ive had a couple vme relating to door action of which i think in todays latest build update this has been covered as there were many probs with that in the 1st 1.2 build so i think im ok to move past that one however i have had another VME which relates to perception or perception level set so my question is do i need to have a look at danger event ranges in my scr_Aiworld mabye its there or is this one mabye also covered in todays fixes-Fixed: VME in callsign manager

These two im not too sure about?

[lean scroll]

Still no fix to being able to see group when placed? Come on. How hard is it to reverse that?

[nova onyx]

Unfortunately outside of my powers

[lean scroll]

Yea I know Yethe. I understand your good.

[iron needle]

It seems this is still a issue after recent update. May I ask, what steps would be needed in the part "You can fix it by using different prefab of the trigger and properly setting it up"?
I only ask because I have a mission with over 20 tasks this affects and it would be nice to reenable them if possible.
Thanks

Does someone now how to make a lightning strike the same position over time during a scenario ?

[lean scroll]

@hollow nexus what game mode?

[glacial nimbus]

How can I have players deploy items like a crate or tent in a custom game mode?

[lean scroll]

@glacial nimbus setup the game mode with campaign building component

[glacial nimbus]

Did that, but can't deploy the tent. just pick it up and drop it lol

[wraith shoal]

check if you can deploy it when is on the ground

just like a radio

[glacial nimbus]

Only option is to pick it up unfortunately

[hollow nexus]

whatever, even during game master : like it strikes the same position over and over every five minutes

[gritty vortex]

sounds cool

but lightning is horrible in the game and it will mess with everyone's screens

doesnt even emit light at night

[lean scroll]

which entity are you trying to pick up please?
and
what faction is the character?

The answer may lie in these 2 questions when answered.

[glacial nimbus]

I thought so too, so I tried with every version of tent just to be sure

[lean scroll]

Only one tent works with the deployable tent system.

[glacial nimbus]

Perhaps I missed it, Which one?

[lean scroll]

What faction are you using? @glacial nimbus

[glacial nimbus]

US, USSR, and FIA

[lean scroll]

Tent_Deployable_FIA.et

1. The tent only works for FIA, unless you change the faction in the settings.
2. The tent has to be picked at least once then set down to display the deploy action.

[glacial nimbus]

Hmm there is nowhere in the components to change faction

Nevermind, think i found it

[lean scroll]

Yes it's there. its in one of the deployable components

[glacial nimbus]

"Unlock actions for enemy factions"

[lean scroll]

no.

Faction ID

[glacial nimbus]

Got it to where it shows "Deploy", but anywhere I place it down it says "Deploy Tent (Unable to deploy here)"

[lean scroll]

And the factions match?

sorry it's faction key, not ID.

[glacial nimbus]

Got it, thank you for that! Now I wonder if I can use that same entity but change the deployed item to whatever I want. For instance a campfire lol

[lean scroll]

The PRC-77 acts as a deployable spawn as well. So don't know why you couldn't

[glacial nimbus]

Oh my goodness

it works

Can basically take the prefab, duplicate it, name it campfire, then change the replacement prefab with a campfire and sure enough it deploys a campfire

lol

[lean scroll]

ahhhh the power of Arma Reforger Tools.

Don't like something? Change it!

[glacial nimbus]

How can I make it to where all 3 factions can deploy it

Like can I separate US and USSR with a comma?

[lean scroll]

Create one for each.

[glacial nimbus]

or something

Ahhh

Got it

lol, thanks for all the help Blackheart

I’m trying to make delivery mission where the “Pick item” (trigger) spawn in vehicle inventory 😅 with dummy LayerTaskDeliver and slottrigger. It works for me but problem is when the vehicle is destroyed. You lost that item and i cannot find any feature same as ItemSafeGuard but for prefab entity. (Item safe works only for slot.et entities)

[autumn pewter]

did u find any fix about that?

[lean scroll]

Can't you setup a task like the destroy multiple objects? Same principle, different task.

https://youtu.be/xvPpfibTdGk

[humble acorn]

I've used your tutorial for this 😄 (and plugins too) 😄 but if anybody destroy that vehicle you're without quest/task item 😦

[lean scroll]

ok. Bummer.

[rocky peak]

Hello, how can i change this supply?

[hidden nebula]

by playing the mission? Build a radio tower to start increasing supply.

Place down other structures to hold more supply (Increase the max limit for that base)

[wide plume]

Is there a way in my enfusion mission files to deactivate the usage of Gamemaster later during mission gameplay, let's say by deactivating or removing a specific component?

[rocky peak]

we are trying this but not working 😄

[hidden nebula]

Oh not sure then, also looking at my message again I want to be clear I wasn't being sarcastic when saying "by playing the mission?", there is likely code/config related ways to change it I just do not know them
