If you are only moving point A to point B just add 2 waypoints to the slotAI.

@severe hollow I don't see a "PlaySoundFromEntity". Do you mean "PlaySoundOnEntity"?

[severe hollow]

yes sorry that's what I meant!

[chrome rampart]

From the SF Wiki....

Play Sound On Entity

This action will play sound on entity position provided by the Getter Attribute

    Getter - Supposed to be any that will return entity (see Getters)
    Sound - String of with the name of the sound

[severe hollow]

could this help so that the sound will only be heard by those near the entity?

[chrome rampart]

Yea maybe. I haven't tried it so not sure about how it functions in game.

[severe hollow]

Alright thanks. I'll go rewatch your video on getters and actions to have a better understanding on what to put on "getters" to see if I can get that result. Thanks man!

[chrome rampart]

Mouse hover on the getter is the best way to determine what getter to use.

[severe hollow]

How can I make it so vehicles respawn in their original position when destroyed?

Hello, I am making a "mapping" modification on the Everon map.

I have a friend who wants to share a part of his creations with me too, is it possible to merge the two projects or am I forced to use this "part" as a mod dependency?

(Because I don't see any other way to add these modifications to him, to mine)

[torn tendon]

Depends on what you're making and if there's any overlap between the files you're modding/creating

[chrome rampart]

As above depends on what you want to merge. If you can put your layers in one name for you, and the other in a layer named after your friend, then just add either ones layers to the others. Any prefabs and configs etc as long as they are not named the same could copy and pasted into the folder structure.
Either way as long as you retain the original files for both you could just smash them together as see what comes out.

[severe hollow]

is there a way to replace the map of a terrain? i just want to make a few edits with photoshop and exchange it for the current one is that possible at all?

i mean the map that players see when they open their maps

[wet tide]

What I mean is it possible that I use these prefabs, copy and paste them into my mods without having this dependency in my Mod? I have trouble understanding with the translation sorry.

[severe hollow]

@chrome rampart Am i correct in saying that for a Task Clear to work the enemy HAS to be inside the task clear layer? can't be in a different layer/area?

[chrome rampart]

If you share the raw project yes you can copy and paste.

[chrome rampart]

No they do not have to be nested in the task itself. They can be in another layer. Just make sure you set the faction in the slotclear plugin

[severe hollow]

Thank you. Is there a way to activate/trigger an action on kill? i thought "On Destroy Event" would work when killing an AI but apparently it doesnt.

[chrome rampart]

Look at the slotkill and see how it does it.

You may need to setup a slottrigger with the same plugin as the slotkill

[severe hollow]

Thanks I'll take a loot at that (Y)

[severe hollow]

I can't make AI follow any waypoints when they are set on Activation Type = On_Trigger_Activation. It works fine with On_Init

Context: I'm on 1.2 and trying to create a QRF type of response (other than the one that comes with the scenario framework)

What i'm doing is that I set a PlayerTriggerSlot and added a "SpawnObject" as an action when a player enters the area. The Object that it spawns is a SlotAI, and all of that works. the AI spawns. But it doesn't follow my Waypoint. I've set a Search&Destroy waypoint but the AI just stays defending. I've put all of this under an area that has Dynamic Despawn activated. And the SlotAI has to have Activation Type = On_Trigger_Activation for it to spawn with the trigger area. All of that works except they don't follow the waypoint. The only follow it if I change Activation type = On_Init but then the AI spawns since the beginning and I don't want that, I want it to spawn on trigger

[nimble lance]

Hello all!! Ive come to learn a little bit of the Workbench, ive also leaned to add the mods and everything to a current scenario. However im kinda stuck atm, im attempting to create a PvPvE Conflict Scenario using the PVE Counter Attacker Mod, ive followed the instructions from the github provided by the PVE Counter Attacker Mod, however my issue is that i cannot spawn as rus. I can choose rus and nato as playable factions, however rus has no spawn point and nato doesnt have objective points. Can anyone give me some advice?

[nimble lance]

the counter attacks work well, however its causing those issues

[indigo marlin]

Early Sunday morning watching the new Blackheart six video is a good time.

[chrome rampart]

Let me see if I can find a solution.

[chrome rampart]

Trigger:
Use a trigger action of wait and execute with a 1 sec delay, and spawn the LAYER the slotAI is located in. If the slotAI are in with other slotAI, add a layer or move them out to their own layer.

SlotAI:
Set activation type to same as parent.

Layer with SlotAI:
Set activation type to on_triggered_activation.

[severe hollow]

Appreciate it man. I'll try this today and I'll report back. Thanks!

[severe hollow]

IT WORKED! thank you so much

[real gull]

how does one add the gamemaster function to a mission?

The entire rest of the mission works boots fine QRFs etc etc

but it wont allow me to load into GM

[chrome rampart]

You don't unless you are making a gamemode_editor scenario.

To access GM when on a server (local host or dedicated), you have to have admin rights. Scripted chat entity must be present to use commands.
Log in as admin, and press and hold Y.

[vital beacon]

Where do I set global fuel consumption for a scenario? Can't seem to find the component

[chrome rampart]

fuel consumption I believe is per vehicle. You may be able to add a component to the gamemode. IDK if there is one.

In the scenario framework, you can use the action fuel consumption.

[vital beacon]

odd if that doesn't exist somewhere since its a scenario property you can edit in Game Master

[cold sleet]

howdie hey :) someone know how to solve it? i think it a faction manager think but cant find it again? 🫣 ideas? thx :)

and i got a problem with the ai - that has no factions -- but FIA works.. some had a idea for a solution? thx a lot!

[chrome rampart]

Ok. So in that case most likely is the gamemode_editor_full

or possible .conf somewhere related to editor.

[chrome rampart]

what faction manager are you using?

[severe hollow]

Is there any way to turn off mission markers?

[cold sleet]

campaignfaction manager, not sure all i place via gm, except FIA is white faction, so it seems like, but they are defind in the manager..

[chrome rampart]

If you haven't edited the faction manager, you could try this... delete it and drop in a factionmanager_editor. Contains all 4 factions.

[chrome rampart]

Edit the tasknewelement.layout and turn off the marker.

[dense rain]

Were is this 😅

[severe hollow]

Thanks!

[frosty elbow]

hI here capture the flag template, working in dedicated server ( in workbench u can see the print for each rpc call but u wont hear sound's event or hint notifications else ur in dedicated ) all features of classic CTF of arma 1-2-3 , spawn no entry protection, custom stam/jump/speed etcc
try it, make it better or use it to make ur own, i hope to see many servers with ctf mode online since was my favorite mode of arma , including warfare ( old benny style )

How can i make a slotplayertrigger do an action everytime a player steps in the trigger area? i've tried setting the Entity Left action to "Restore Layer" but it doesn't work for some reason

[lean scroll]

I couldn't figure it out, but did a work around by making another trigger that activates the defaultlayerreset. Not pretty but it works.
You may also check the the areas/layers and see if they reset or spawn appropriately.

Putting the layerreset on the exit action didnt work for me.

[severe hollow]

Cool so set up another slotplayertrigger in the same layer but with the restore layer action? how does that work in that case? do i need to go to a different area to trigger that? i assume they can't share the same space? lol

How about setting the restore layer in the in the entity entered action as well? it could be action 1) Whatever you want the trigger to do when a player enters. Action 2) wait and execute and action 3) restore layer. imma try that as well

alright that didn't work LOL

[lean scroll]

Yeah so I set another trigger right next to it, so that trigger reset the default layer of the trigger making the sound (in your case)

only reason i did that is because when i set the layer reset on the same trigger that is the main trigger, on entity exit, it didnt work like you are saying.

[lean scroll]

that makes sense to me, but doesnt work.

[severe hollow]

I just got it to work with the wait and execute as a follow up action on entity entered actions!

[lean scroll]

ohh good call. Mind sending me a cap of how that works?

[severe hollow]

this is all I had to do on the plugin, but if you are still inside the area when the "wait" countdown is finished it will trigger the action again even if you get out

So, not perfect.

[lean scroll]

Thanks. Can you do another getter to check if a player is in the area still, and delay it?

[severe hollow]

uh, okay i don't know how to do that. lol

kinda new to this. 🤣

[lean scroll]

im guessing. im gonna try on my end.

[severe hollow]

Question. since I've only been testing these things by myself... the trigger activates once for every player? or just once at all when it's activated by anyone?

[lean scroll]

you can set the trigger to be activated by very specific entities like player names or player character in general.

it's under Activation Presence under SCR_scenarioframeworkplugintriggeer

[severe hollow]

Thanks. Also I'm watching a blackheart_six video on plugin trigger and he handles the restore layer differently. He also uses two triggers like you, but the second one shares the area with the first one just a bit bigger. the restore layer trigger is set to restore layer on entity left. Nothing on entity entered

so im going to try that now see how it goes

[lean scroll]

Yeah his vids are my go to as well.

[severe hollow]

This works like a charm

[severe hollow]

What exactly is an entity ? I can't get "Play Sound On Entity" to work

been trying for a while

[glass niche]

I couldn't get it to work either. It might have to be an AI? like for dialogue.

[severe hollow]

Hmmm. That could be interesting. I'll try that out.

[chrome rampart]

FYI... The purpose of the larger trigger is to restore the layer at distance when no one is in the area. I believe there is a check box "Activate on Empty" I need to investigate this check box and it's functionality. But it may work that you could restore the layer when no player are in the area.

[misty imp]

maybe set it to loop

[chrome rampart]

Pro-tip from a non-professional...
Use activation conditions to determine when a entity becomes active.

[severe hollow]

could you elaborate a bit more? 👉 👈 😅 is this for the trigger thing or for my question about what an entity is supposed to be in "play sound on entity"? lol

[chrome rampart]

This is more about triggering something when a condition is met. If player A is 1 to 100 meters, then spawn object.

Just another method to trigger stuff.

[fleet girder]

I would like to put in my own things

[severe hollow]

I want to add loot on some spots, but how do i make it so the loot respawns almost immediately after someone grabs it? so far i can only manage to spawn it every certain time but that's very impractical because it will just duplicate if no one uses it

[chrome rampart]

Hint: Weapons Rack

[severe hollow]

I can make multiple duplicates of the weapons rack and add different weapons to each of them is that what you are implying? 👀

[cold sleet]

howdie! if my scenarios dependency has an upadate? what i have to do? i can´t open my scenarios now.. 😔

[severe hollow]

#enfusion_scenario message

This might work

[cold sleet]

check, jeah thx! - good to know - but this was is not :)

[wild trellis]

You have to read the logs to find out why your scenario won't start now.

[vital beacon]

Hey all! Having an issue with group leader markers.

I've duplicated the vanilla GM_Eden scenario to add predefined groups, spawn, and loadouts and the group leader markers are no longer functioning. Any ideas?

[chrome rampart]

"how do i make it so the loot respawns almost immediately after someone grabs it?" Pick up a grenade from the weapons rack (cabinet one) and see the action.

[severe hollow]

Ha yeah but I meant some very specific loot not just the one from the rack but you gave me a nice idea lol

[indigo marlin]

Does anybody know where the slot is to put the faction group base prefab? I duplicated it and want to put the new one in the proper place but can't find it. I've seen it before but I can't find it right now. Checked faction manager, Loadout manager, game mode, character prefab and the faction conf files. Not the playable group prefab. And not the AI group prefab.

[cold sleet]

You have to read the logs to find out

[severe hollow]

the "playsound" on activation has a long delay. How can i fix this? it takes a good 5 seconds but I'd like it to be immediate. is it possible?

[chrome rampart]

That was my point. Reverse engineer the components to your need.

[severe hollow]

Ah sorry i was a little slow yesterday. Thank man!

[cold sleet]

howdie ya, some maybe know how to add multiple factions to the key list? to avoid blank/white/not active factions?? It is not US; FACTION_RHS_USAF or US, FACTION_RHS_USAF or "US","FACTION_RHS_USAF" - other ideas or solutions? also see that blank factions in other workshops i spy on :) :D thx!

[chrome rampart]

Are you using Scenario Framework?

[cold sleet]

good question, not sure, think not.. as an mod or as way of working!? what you mean exactly and gives that a benifit on a conflict scenario? 🫣

[severe hollow]

basically are you doing a conflict mode or something else?

[chrome rampart]

What gamemode manger is in the scenario? Can only be one.

[cold sleet]

ah, conflict scenario, not SF! i add the factions now to the CampaignFactionManager and will see or check now if there are still blank / white factions

always thx for your help dude!!

[severe hollow]

@chrome rampart Is there a way to place AI that respawns after a set time after being killed without using triggers in scenario framework? like Ambient AI? in SF I can't seem to find the way to configure those options for Ambient AI

[chrome rampart]

Ok, so I don't know if this is a SF only component or allowable under any mode. You can delete it if it doesn't work But select your faction manager and add SCR_FactionAlias to it. Then setup aliases for the US/RHS USSR/RHS etc.

[cold sleet]

alright, thx i will check that way :)

[cold sleet]

adding it to the factionsmanager faction does not work - they are still white/blank

[chrome rampart]

Not sure on that one. The element has to be built into the component. I can only think of wait and execute and restore to default in conjunction with a plugin/trigger.

[severe hollow]

alright thanks. it's a bit more work but if it was to be done that way what can we do!

[cold sleet]

ah - 2 genereal questions first - 1.) if hide a module like the factionManager is it inactive or i have to delete it? - 2.) could add to every module a component? thx !

[chrome rampart]

1. Hide it, and start the scenario. It will tell you "No faction available" if it makes it inactive.
2. You could add every component to an entity. BUT I don't think that will work. Components are designed to work with a certain entity it is being added to. For example, the factionalias component works only with the faction manager. So I don't think that would be a good idea.

[cold sleet]

Hiding it - dont makes it inactive for me. :)

[cold sleet]

that way also does not work. but a good try - thx mate!

[unique plover]

i know this is going to be easy but how do i automatically get a vehicle to respawn after the original one has been destroyed? thanks in advance

[severe hollow]

https://youtu.be/P-jS2H4cQCw?si=JfhVG1SZ84b0-qm3

[severe hollow]

Just to confirm—there's no way to copy and paste areas while preserving their reference layers, right? For instance, if an area contains a player trigger that references a layer within it, copying it would require manually adjusting the references to match the new layers. There's no way to duplicate it while keeping the structure intact?

[storm notch]

"How can I change the supply costs for spawning a vehicle?"

[unique plover]

thank you

[compact cliff]

Hi @chrome rampart. I've some troubles with mounted patrols.
I'm on 1.2 version, with Combat Ops SF on a custom map.
Here is my configuration :

I tried many options, but in some case the IA don't get in vehicle, in other case, they get in but don't go on waypoint. Could you tell what I missed ? (and so much thanks for your help and wonderful videos and contributions !!!)

[chrome rampart]

I'll get you a screen shot of how I do mine.

@compact cliff

[chrome rampart]

1. Check the faction manager
2. Override the entity catalog for vehicles and edit there.
3. Override the vehicle and edit there.

1 and 2 I am sure of. 3 meh!

[compact cliff]

Works very well. Thank you so much guy. I owe you several beers. You are a major contributor to the community ❤️

See ya on Zimnitrita 😉

[elfin crypt]

Does anyone know of a tutorial that shows how to make AI and players fight over a point and once that point is taken it locks and a new point and new spawns open up (locking old spawns as well)?
I'm slowly going through Blackheart Six's videos which are great and trying to piece it together but wondering if there's a specific video/page that I might be missing.

[severe hollow]

That sounds interesting. I'd like to know as well.

[severe hollow]

can i make enemy snipers more effective and deadlier against players at longer ranges by messing with their perception values?

[digital creek]

yes, there's also skill level in the combat component which affects accuracy
you would override the sharpshooter character prefabs to achieve this

[severe hollow]

Thanks !

[chrome rampart]

Not sure about the locking part. But overall sounds doable.

1. Scenario starts.
2. Spawns task, AI, spawn point.
3. Player completes clear. Delete spawn points and clean up.
4. New task, AI and spawn point.
5. Player completes clear.
6. Wash, rinse, and repeat.

[elfin crypt]

Yeah that's pretty much it mate. Just not sure how to go about it exactly.

[chrome rampart]

Now starts the fun! Look at the combat ops mission Arland and SF Samples to start. You should be able to piece it together.

[elfin crypt]

I've had a look at the Defend and Target SF samples and set up my own which has helped a little but I'll have a look at combat ops as well.

[chrome rampart]

Look at "Finish Task to Create Task" sample scenario.

[elfin crypt]

ah yes of course, thanks, will do.

[wet tide]

Hello everyone, is there a basis for creating a "Capture and Hold" scenario?

Or even a YouTube tutorial?

Because from what I see on the workshop, these are complete mods but no core.

[cold sleet]

hey, you could take the original Capture&Hold scenario and build it down to your own version of C&H - and i sure there are tutorials on YT.

[wet tide]

I haven't found anything about CaH on YouTube, just conflict.

Same here, isn't it possible to unlock a mod layer in the world editor?

I know that in Eden, you can "copy and paste" onto an empty world. However, I want to modify an area of ​​the modded map "Ogami," and the problem is that there's no "empty" map in the mod files.

Does this mean that it's impossible to modify entities that have already been placed and are therefore locked? Or is there a solution? Thanks 🙂

@ocean charm I think someone here needs your attention

[severe hollow]

can anyone help? i'm using Scenario Framework to create a mission but the arsenal is empty. Why does this happen? I can use the bacon to load saved loadouts but there's nothing inside the actual arsenal

[chrome rampart]

I have requested the ability to apply X/Y/Z to the area/layer/trigger to stop that from happening. Also requested quadrilateral shapes No indication that will be happening in the future.

[chrome rampart]

What entity are you using for arsenal? Have any mods loaded?

[severe hollow]

thanks I'm using the one named ArsenalBox_US_Weapons_NoAffiliation

when i test it in the workbench i can see all the vanilla guns and gear but they are greyed out, not sure how to disable the supply cost

but in the actual game the box is empty. i do have a few mods loaded. guns, gear etc

Well, actually, in the actual game the arsenal is not empty. it has all the vanilla gear and the modded gear in the arsenal but they are locked behind a supply cost. they don't show up in the bacon loadout editor though that's my main concern

nevermind seems like it's fixed. Just realized the arsenal was guns only. i've changed it

i'm stupid like that

🤣

Ps can't use mods yet so no (custom scenario = mod)

[gritty vortex]

What folks mean when they say this is not actually custom scenarios, just people changing names of existing ones in the server browser via mission header

[severe hollow]

any idea why the AI won't follow the SlotWaypoint? trying to do a defend task. I'm following your vid @chrome rampart but can't make the AI move for some reason. it's very frustrating

also i realize this isn't exactly how you organized it in your vid but i couldn't make it work that way either so this is what i tried

[summer nimbus]

How can I set this so there's a 50% chance you spawn as a variant of this loadout? I don't know what number the probability is out of

[cold sleet]

found finaly a solution - could not solve it my own - but i just copied the rhs-conflict faction manager and then it worked magicly.. 🙂

[severe hollow]

never mind, i forgot to set the navmeshes! 😂 😭 However i did find an issue. I set the AI to respawn every 15 seconds like in your video and they do, but there's always one group that just stays there it doesn't move. the other waves do follow the waypoint, is just one group that doesn't. And this happens with all groups.

[severe hollow]

What's the best waypoint to set for the AI to drive to a destination and remain in the vehicle, actively defending with the mounted gun?

[severe hollow]

Any ideas why the task defend completes even if I lose? i set it up to give me an end mission screen upon failure but it says task complete even if it fails

[chrome rampart]

This is a bug in 1.2 and has been fixed in 1.3.

[chrome rampart]

I think it's in the plugin where you set up the ratios to determine win/lose. I've never messed with those so not sure of the settings.

[severe hollow]

i don´t see an option in the plugin just in the slotdefend with the OnTaskFailed😭

[chrome rampart]

I checked this. It's in the defend parameters for the task. As for the end mission, you can use a logic counter. Combat Ops Arland uses the logic counter to end the mission. I'm sure you can modify it and point to a specific task.

[uncut socket]

Search doesn't work on field entries. Just fields. Resource is the name for supplies.

[severe hollow]

How do you remember all this stuff? haha

the defend task must be one of the most complicated tasks i've set up but made it work. lol

Now the problem will be copying the same structure to create more of the same task

there are a lot of layers and slots that need to be pointing to a specific thing 😂

[high geyser]

New here, is there a way to view the map such as the in-game map whilst in the workbench editor to reference position and just see the map without going into the game VM and opening it as a player?

[severe hollow]

This would be so useful tbh. Not sure if it's possible but I've definitely thought about it lol

[chrome rampart]

I believe you change the costs of items in the entity catalogs or the faction manager and if the doesn't work you can override and edit the item.

[chrome rampart]

not that I am aware of.
Here is a hi-res image that someone posted on steam. I use it when I need to reference the map.

[high geyser]

Thanks, I’m actually not building on Everon, which is what prompted me to ask, lol. I appreciate you

[severe hollow]

Where can I find the file of the map the players see? And is it possible to edit it and replace it?

[severe hollow]

Is there a way to copy and paste an area, layer, or slot to another part of the map while preserving its internal structure? Specifically, I want triggers to automatically update their references to the newly generated names (e.g., 'playertrigger1' becomes 'playertrigger2,' and all linked components point to 'playertrigger2' accordingly). When I copy and paste directly, the internal references remain unchanged, which makes it tedious to manually update each component and object property, especially when dealing with numerous layers, slots, and triggers.

[lean scroll]

Dont think so. When copying over map entities it's a nearly insurmountable mess.

I copy over chunks to make it reasonable. You can copy paste names from the trigger slot where you put in the name of the layer you want triggered. saves a miniscule amount of time.

[severe hollow]

bummer. a feature like that would save us an incredible amount of time lol

[cold sleet]

hey hey :) i saw on server a object with an arsenal in it - like a metal cabinet or a safe. someone maybe have a tip or a video how to create a object with a arsenal in or it or how to add an arsenal to a object? :) thx in advance. :) greets!

[remote nymph]

Does anyone know how to remove the helipad from the build menu in conflict? I'm currently making an urban focused conflict mode and I don't want helicopters involved in the game. Thank you:)

[wild trellis]

Easy, change it's tag in the editable entity component to faction_fia

[remote nymph]

Awesome thank you gramp!

[severe hollow]

how do you change the faction of your character when playing from camera? i always get a russian character

[lean scroll]

with my limited knowledge, I right click delete character, then create the player of the faction you want.

[severe hollow]

Thanks that should work. Do you know what waypoint works to have AI stay inside houses? I thought "Wait" would work but it doesn't

[wild trellis]

I would try defend waypoint with the radius contained within the building

[severe hollow]

Alright thanks

[severe hollow]

what does error "system failure" means? it happens when I try to play my scenario on the actual game. did i do something wrong? the weird thing is that I can play just fine inside the workbench haha

[severe hollow]

Nothing works. I can't fix it I'm losing my mind

[lean scroll]

Yes this means there is an issue with the mod project. Take a look at in-workbench error logs. Also how are you playing the scenario in the game? Singleplayer, hosting a server? You should then also look at the error logs there. With very few exceptions I've always found the answer in those logs, even if I had to look up the errors listed.

[severe hollow]

thanks. found the issue. it was a god damn tent prefab i placed in the world earilier. no idea how that can break things so bad but i removed it and now everything works correctly!!!!

[unique plover]

hello, im in the middle of creating a Scenario, at the min i have one randomly selected location from three, once completed it will give you one new location from a different three, works perfect, but i was wondering if i put all the locations into one pool can i remove the previous selected location so i dont get duplicated locations?? thanks in advance

[oblique hawk]

How are people handling mission logistics for MP scenarios? I'm trying to figure out the best way to organically resupply players. In A3 this would typically be a system where we use ACE to load a crate into a heli or vehicle

Does such a system for prebuilt supply crates exist in Reforger?

[lean scroll]

Dont the details but maybe look at setting a getter to look at what has been played/completed and not offer it again during the session?

[high geyser]

Are there other channels for enfusion here?

Also, what am I missing for my objectives not being able to be captured in testing?

Is there a guide or resource for building just basic PVP scenario on other sub-world based maps?

[whole raptor]

Is it possible somehow to add the ability to build with the construction truck of the conflict mode to a scenario framework mission?

[chrome rampart]

Use delete entity action of the slottask, when "On_Task_Finish".

[chrome rampart]

Yes. Arma Reforger has a complete supply system. Not as nice as R3F's in A3.

Let me advertise this for you...
https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news/boot-camp-supplies-and-logistics

[chrome rampart]

TMP_Tactical has a pretty good youtube channel covering gamemode campaign (PvP).
https://youtube.com/@tpmtactical?si=Rc71RqpofYV7Oz7k

[chrome rampart]

This will get you going in the right direction.

https://youtu.be/uagROsiOlgE?si=Fp4_aNxjAlHQvWqX

You need to add the components to be able to use build mode. Hopefully some day they add the ability to use build mode in scenario framework.

[whole raptor]

already tried it. "Start Building" action doesn't show up. If i spawn the costruction truck via GM i've the action, but when i place down an object i can't build it. @chrome rampart

[unique plover]

i did have a look at this method i couldnt get anything to work, thanks for the advice tho

[unique plover]

thanks ill have a mess about with this now

[chrome rampart]

Strange. Because the method I show in the video is the only way I know to get build mode to work. You have to add the components to the gamemodeSF and setup them up correctly to be able to use the building mode.

To use the construction truck in GM or via buildmode you have to fill it with supplies.

You could just disable supplies to start.

[whole raptor]

I fixed it! Ty! I can use the "US" faction only sadly (probably i've to manually configure it for other faction). The building action for the truck is available for spawned truck only (GM or vehicle maintenance depot). Construction truck prefab is probably missing some components, but i guess it's fine for now. Thank you!

[eager crest]

Hello, I'm new to Arma reforger, so to speak, and I've just started to figure it out.
I couldn't find any answers to these questions on the Internet:

1. How to implement subtitles in a Scenario (screenshot 1)
2. How to implement hints (screenshots 2)
3. Is it possible to insert custom music and character voice acting, as in Arma 3?
   Thanks for attention.

[torn tendon]

If you're copying it often enough could you make it into a prefab? I don't really know the context you're in so idk if it'd work

[severe hollow]

well basically i'd love to replicate a scenario i did on a map on other maps. would be great if it was just copy/paste and then just adjust the positioning of things but no I need to go layer by layer checking if a trigger points to the right layer, etc. very time consuming lol

[high geyser]

I’m trying to figure out how to remove the “command tent” from a campaign military base used. Like the bases from a PVP scenario but either another object or it’s just an invisible object like the managers. TIA

[chrome rampart]

Interesting thought. I wonder if you could put area's into prefabs. I wonder if you could un-prefab if you wanted to. Hmmmmm me now thinking.

[chrome rampart]

I can give a partial answer for 2. In scenario framework you use the action "Show Hints". As of that tutorial scenario, I've been trying to figure out how they did all that stuff. They have to really great things there, just haven't had time to figure it out.

[severe hollow]

hey @chrome rampart i was watching your video on the task defend, and noticed you mentioned that the Eariler Evaluation was broken before and that they fixed it now, but I can't make that work. When I check that box I complete the task as soon as it becomes available. do you know if it's broken again? if not I might be doing something wrong

[chrome rampart]

I believe I am working in v1.3. Are you?

[severe hollow]

Ah, no. I'm working with the stable version. That explains it then!

[chrome rampart]

Maybe. We'll have to see. Since that video was made it's been updated. Hopefully it still works.

[severe hollow]

1.3 can't come soon enough. lots of interesting things there

[severe hollow]

do you know if there's a way to set up the task defend but with the AI set to dynamic despawn (or triggered)
The problem I'm seeing is that if there is no AI in the task zone, as soon as I get trigger the AI they automatically win. I guess, since there was no AI in the area the first faction to set foot there wins

so my workaround has been to leave one single AI soldier to just spawn ther from the beginning

but was wondering if there's something I can do to get rid of him?

[chrome rampart]

I normally do defend tasks using a pre-task. So I use a move task, then once the you move to the point, the defend task spawns. Since you occupy the slot radius it runs. Use a wait and execute action.

or

Clear an area, then after clear spawn the defend task.

[severe hollow]

ah yeah, my bad, I meant the task clear!!

task clear is my pre-task

but I want the enemies from the task clear to appear when triggered only

but I run into the problem I mentioned

haha

[chrome rampart]

Did you add the faction to the plugin, field "Activated by this faction".

Additionally, if civilians are in the slotClear, it can complete the task as well, depending on the friendly relationship setup.

[severe hollow]

Yes I have that active. these are my settings

[chrome rampart]

We need a tool that will find all duplicate names, and rename them. Or a more robust copy and paste. I have over 50 duplicates again.

Search your console log for "Duplicate"

[floral perch]

Alright, I'm stumped. I made a new terrain, I have all the plants, buildings, etc. put where I want them. I made a couple of Ambient Spawn points. The AI spawns correctly.

However, waypoints don't work and if I go into GameMaster mode while doing the test and spawn AI, they refuse to move.

I origionally thought it was the navmesh, but I doubt that is the issue now since I've even started from scratch (flat world) and they still refuse to move. Any ideas would be helpful.

[severe hollow]

How can I prompt an end mission upon a player's death?

[hollow snow]

your gonna use -ondestroyedevent on that entity Player/chrimeracharacter with the action to endmission/scenario or if u talking specific task use the action changetaskstate ( Taskfailed or cancelled)and have the getter pointing to said layertask

[severe hollow]

Thanks I've already tried trjsr but I don't think dying counts as destroying because i can't make it work. I'll keep experimenting!

[hollow snow]

sounds like ur not far off,i have a hostage or rescue mission with that play ondestroyed and if he dies its task failed but that is from a slot tbf,prob can from a player too surely?id throw u a shot but im not a my pc hey best of luck man👍

[severe hollow]

Thanks bro! yeah I can make it work for an NPC by setting it up similar to the TaskKill just can't figure it out for a real player. I'll keep trying! thanks for the help!

[chrome rampart]

Try this on the slot of the task. I set this up on a slotPlayertrigger covering the whole island. @severe hollow

Uncheck "Activate on empty" if you change the radius. That was for testing purposes.

[severe hollow]

Hey man can you share your set up? I get this message when I spawn the construction truck via maintenance depot. and I can't build anything

[severe hollow]

huh that's interesting. Thanks! I'll try!

[whole raptor]

Use this:
https://youtu.be/uagROsiOlgE?si=Fp4_aNxjAlHQvWqX

[severe hollow]

thanks i actually followed your video and I am able to spawn vehicles from the vehicle maintenance thing it's just the construction truck that doesn't work haha

[whole raptor]

weird! post your setup!

[silk sigil]

I suppose it also works for building

[chrome rampart]

This allows you to use building mode in scenario framework.

Hopefully they will build this into the game mode in the future so we can advantage of the logistic and supply system.

I am sure there are some other items I missed that needs to be thought of.

[silk sigil]

very nice. I want to add some building/vehicle interactions after a clear area task. So players can build/buy cars like what they do in Conflicts. Making the SF task more interesting. I think there is a building provider component under conflicts militarybase prefab also.

[severe hollow]

will do!

question: is there a way to get rid of the "x mission available" that pops up at the beginning of a match?

i have a lot of missions available and it's very annoying because it shows me one notification for each one lol

[chrome rampart]

IDK the controller for the pop-up notification for the task, but there should be a way to turn it off without impacting other pop-ups.

How many tasks are you starting at the beginning? Do you need to start a lot at once?

[severe hollow]

around 10. I'm basically creating a conflict match but in SF to add more things so I'm starting out with 10 task clear

I'll experiment to see if I can turn them off

[chrome rampart]

Yea start with the .layouts. Or look in the SF action for PopUp Notification might lead you in the right direction. I was able to move the campaign timer popup for the defend task to the right side of the screen by editing a .layout. So it's got to be in one of those.

[silk sigil]

I'm testing some similar thing. I made a mogadish SF mission with clear area task and QRF, so it works like capture points in conflicts. But I used some triggers. Further points tasks will only be valid when players have available tasks finished (like the conflicts mode). So not all 10 tasks are needed at beginning. It will also benefit the server performance

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/64DEC7DB1BCBFE34-IronPotCTIIraq

[severe hollow]

Thanks I'll look into that!

[severe hollow]

Thanks. I am also using triggers. only the mission marker shows up but no actual AI. only when players are near that base. In this particular case I want to do it like this so that players feel free to capture them in any order they want

Instead of a standard QRF I'm using a task defend. they have to defend the captured base against many waves of enemies and they will use vehicles, tanks, mortars etc

there's a 10 minute timer to defend. if they fail, it's game over they have to start again. lol

what update rate do you use for triggers? do you just leave it at 1?

[chrome rampart]

I don't think I've ever used the update rate. Just leave it at 1 if triggering more than once.

[silk sigil]

yeah. I always think about which one is better: spawn all markers at beginning letting players feel free to capture OR spawn them linearly

[silk sigil]

I use QRF for ambient AI in a area (include at least 1 base), So when they go through the Area and fights AI, the QRF will be called. The base defend is an other thing, and yes I use something similar to defend task.

[chrome rampart]

FEEDBACK:
V1.3.0.102
Missing SCR_ScenarioFrameworkWaypoint_DefendSmall from the Waypoint classes.

[silk sigil]

I have tried the building system in SF with the components copy. It works now.

[severe hollow]

Good day all ! I'm wondering if there's a way to temporarily hide or disable certain layers during gameplay. I know layers can be deleted, but is there a method to bring them back afterward? Perhaps using a trigger to restore a deleted layer? Though I'm unsure if that would work since the deleted layer may no longer exist. 🤔

[chrome rampart]

@severe hollow It is my understanding when you use the action delete entity you are not deleting the slot. Use the action restore layer to default to bring it back.

https://youtu.be/dZ-9_oSW91M

[severe hollow]

Thanks I'll try

[severe hollow]

I'm having trouble getting this to work. Here's what I'm trying to achieve:

I'm creating a scenario where players must capture and defend bases. The map is filled with ambient AI for added immersion. However, when a defend task is triggered, a large number of AI spawn in waves, so I don't want the ambient AI to remain active during that time.

Each defend task is always preceded by a "clear area" task. My idea was to attach a "delete entity" action to the completion of the clear area task, which would remove all ambient AI (and potentially other AI from the other bases too). The narrative excuse is that "the enemy is reorganizing to launch an attack on the base we're defending," but of course the real reason is to reduce server load. With multiple players potentially spread across the map, I don't want ambient AI spawning everywhere. I want the focus on the defend task since it already involves a lot of AI.

After deleting the AI layer when the clear task finishes, I intended to restore the layer once the defend task is complete so everything returns to normal. Unfortunately, this approach doesn't seem to work. once the AI layer is deleted, the "restore layer to default" command doesn't seem to bring it back.

[severe hollow]

uh I guess that explains it

[chrome rampart]

How are you spawning the ambient AI?

[severe hollow]

Just Area/Layer/SlotAI with the Area set to dynamic spawn

I'm using dynamic despawn instead of using triggers because it's easier to replicate on other parts of the map. you think it would work if I disable dynamic despawn and use triggers instead?

[chrome rampart]

one second

@severe hollow https://youtu.be/042L6FAg240 Sorry this was real fast.

might need time to process.

[severe hollow]

Wow thanks man! i was not expecting a whole video lol. Thank you so much for what you do

[chrome rampart]

much easier than us going back and forth with text.

[severe hollow]

The video helped a lot. thank you!!

[chrome rampart]

@severe hollow Is that what you are trying to accomplish?

basically. You might have to work the defend task and sequencing.

[jovial snow]

How to add gm to a map?

[crisp rain]

I get you want an answer to your question but please just pick a channel and send the question once. If someone knows they'll respond when they see it.

[severe hollow]

Yes, but also not quite, let me explain!

Basically, I want to delete a layer upon task finish (task clear) and restore it upon another task finish (task defend) and I can't still make it work. But your video gave me food for thought and it's defintely useful!

[compact sundial]

Looking to wonder what config do I add to have global chat work? Any one know

[lean scroll]

Something like scriptedchatentity

[compact sundial]

Okay perfect and do I create the conflict scenario on top of the GM mode ? As a new sub layer in order to be able to use GM mode via admin login?

[lean scroll]

I recommend using the workbench plugin i the world editor called game setup(something like that). It will help you add all items need for the gametype you select.

you'd probably just make a conflict then gamemaster when it's setup. chat entity will allow you to login as admin/gamemaster

[compact sundial]

It won’t let me pull in scripted chat entity it is telling me my project is read only but I own it?

@somber girder

[severe hollow]

Does anyone have recommendations for a map with vast open terrains and minimal urban areas or towns?

[compact sundial]

Clearly never heard of the Ukraine 🤣

[compact sundial]

But Donetsk Oblast region is your best bet

[severe hollow]

thanks for the recommendation. I can't seem to find that map. This shows up on some scenarios maybe that's why?

Or do you mean the Zarichne map?

in that case I already have that one, it's really great 👌

[compact sundial]

@severe hollow Use Rostov love that map

You will to it has a quarry and everything also @cinder dock version scenario has a castle style gauntlet capture in the middle also

[chrome rampart]

I believe "Delete Entity" only works on slots, not layers. But someone from BI need to confirm that.

[severe hollow]

Oh i have no problem deleting layers or even areas, is just bringing them back using a task finish that's the issue haha.

[outer mesa]

@chrome rampart Hi, can you Tell me how to assign a base to a specific party to the conflict in the Conflict mode. For example, there are 2 sides US / USSR. Base 1 - should be US. Base 2 - should be USSR.
Thanks for the reply.

[compact sundial]

Does anyone know how to make MOB constant visibility to both teams?

[silk sigil]

hey guys, is it supported to use CAH area together with regular SF area?

[chrome rampart]

Unfortunately I don't work with Campaign Mode so not sure how to do it.

[severe hollow]

anyone knows why I'm getting this? all of my taks work correctly when I play, so I'm not sure what this is. It says it's a clear area task but all of my task clear work correctly so not sure what's the issue.

[severe hollow]

In the experimental branch, there's a single-player mission where, at a certain point, you need to either turn on your radio or change the frequency—I'm not entirely sure which. However, once you do, it triggers another event. Is it possible to replicate this using the Scenario Framework?

[dense rain]

Im working on a map for PvE scenario for fun and I ran into an issue. Whenever I load into the game to test it while in the toolkit, I try to use the map and it wont load. The character just looks at the map and nothing pops up or when I am in the Faction selection menu, there's no map. I found the map file, but its labeled. with _GM.edds and _GM.topo. When I load the maps default Conflict and default GM mode, it the in game map works. But not in my scenario. Any possible fixes? I attached a photo as well. Second photo is the error I am getting 😦

[chrome rampart]

ooooooh, I'll have to check that out. I'll look at the internals and see what's drive it.

Should be HIGHLY possible given...

[severe hollow]

Look for a map entity prefab and add it to your world. Then restart the workbench

[severe hollow]

Sweeet. I'll also take a look later!

[chrome rampart]

Very cool

[cold sleet]

jeah totally, also saw it on experimental, great idea from BI :)

[indigo marlin]

I have created a fresh faction from scratch. How do I get them to shoot back when they are shot at? Where should I start, is that tasks?

And can I set enemy factions? I know you can set friendly ones but didn't see enemy.

[severe hollow]

Did you check the "is military" box?

[indigo marlin]

Yep but thanks anyway.

Would lack of navmesh stop them from firing ?

[severe hollow]

I think it can be a factor yes. The whole SCR AI World has to be set up correctly

[indigo marlin]

Is there anyway to make GM Persisten Loadouts work on a ScenarioFramework world?

[lean scroll]

Im Trying to Publish An Edit to Combat Ops Everon And It works and everything but in the Workshop there's no Scenario to load? What Have I done wrong? I am Fairly new to this all 😦

[lean scroll]

make sure to create a mission header config

[lean scroll]

RESOURCES (E): File '$ArmaReforger:Configs/Workbench/GameModeSetup/GameMaster.conf' is read-only

[chrome rampart]

That would be your problem. Your using a game master mission header. You need a Scenario Framework mission header.

And that is the games mission header.

[severe hollow]

why are there no spawn points available when I test in the world editor but they appear when I play on the actual game?

Also how can I make an AI group respawn only after the've died? is there an easy way around that?

[cold sleet]

seams like the us faction has no spawnpoint. !?

[severe hollow]

Except it does as I mentioned I can spawn just fine in the actual game. This just happens when I play from the world editor

[indigo marlin]

I'm assuming there are crash logs when you run it in the actual game also but I'm not positive. I need to find them also if there are.

I had something that was working in the editor but not working when I published.

[hollow snow]

Check out the action RestoreLayer to default have them in there own Layer respectively x1 group on 1 slotAI to make it easy on yourself as u play around and test it it out

[hollow snow]

Do you have your spawn points from a slot and or are they in a DD area and something needs to be adjusted there? Spawnlogicmenu or something like that to check out too in your gamemode manager for your scenario itl prob something simple you will get it figured out in the end, It was a little buggy(spawnpoints) last game build or was to do with the random order side of things iirc

[hollow snow]

Sry i havent got The solution there on faultfinding that one only to add that i had a similar thing with spawnpoints ironically that i had renamed or tried a couple of different things as when scenario played on server the spawnpoints sometimes revert to to being numbered like the hideout locations in combat- ops mabye on session restart i need to dig further so id like any pointers there if anyone could? (Gamemode SF)

[stoic ginkgo]

Is this possible to not import all part of a mod ? I wanted to edit a modded prefab for Faction Character, but it still loads and uses the one form the mod and not the one I specified in FactionManager

Ok I guess should use override instead of duplicate, my bad

[indigo marlin]

No. You could import it and duplicate whatever you want to keep though and then get rid of the mod if it doesn't use any custom scripts for anything

[stoic ginkgo]

btw is there a way to avoid RHS StatusQuo scripts ?

they cause a lot of errors

[indigo marlin]

Don't know I haven't worked with it much I remember that I removed that from my project early on because it was causing issues and I wasn't even using it.

[stoic ginkgo]

Did you find another mod that have a lot of modern weapons ? With just what weapons need to work and nothing more

[indigo marlin]

Nope sorry I've been stuck on more technical shit that I finally figured out this morning and last night haha. But I'm more than likely going to make my own weapons so I won't be using stuff like that. We will see

[stoic ginkgo]

Good luck then

[hollow snow]

There was a clash with RHS and combat ops scenario early on one thing errors were tied to the posters/garbage/destroyed vics in the gameworld i think thats il i know thats not too say thats no longer a problem though if anyone has anymore more info? as thats the only reason i havent tried unfortunately it so far

[severe hollow]

Hi any idea why players can't use the machine guns in the machine gun nests? i'm placing them using scenario framework like Area/Layer/Slot. The AI can use them but players can't for some reason

nevermind it fixed itself lol

[wild trellis]

#arma

[indigo marlin]

If anybody is getting the 2 SCRAIWorlds message when you only have 1, I figured out why. It's because the scraiworld prefab is open in workbench.

[gaunt acorn]

I'm having same issue Andeerock is having. Im making my own terrair, i've had AI working before. I redid my navmesh and put into the SCR_AI_WORLD and my AI isn't working in my Gamemaster subscene of my own map. Once randomly they worked, but would only move a little bit. But right now they won't move, shoot, wiggle, anything. They don't even lay flat on the terrain.

[severe hollow]

Does anyone know of any maps that are longer and narrower, similar to Everon, rather than the more square-shaped ones like Arland?

Is it possible to make a trigger only if we are spotted?

[terse blade]

I'm gonna be building my scenario today, no clue what I'm doing. I want to use some very basic functions of the conflict game mode, but reworking like 90% of it. Would it be easier to start from scratch and implement the supplies features and what not, or to load the scenario as a conflict map then get rid of most of it?

[chrome rampart]

Pro-tip from a non-professional...
Build from scratch. 1) You get exactly what you want. 2) Don't have to worry if any naming of items. 3) You learn far more.
Use the pre-built stuff to see how it is done.

SCENARIO FRAMEWORK FEATURE REQUEST:
Generate a random position within an Area.et
This would give us the ability to have something similar to "Enemy Occupation System". Selecting a checkbox or drop down "Spawn on random position".

[severe hollow]

100%

[severe hollow]

I'd like to know as well, that'd be neat. Alternatively a trigger when they shoot at you would work too but no idea if it's possible

[compact sundial]

Hey any idea on what component I need to add in order to get in game radios to work?

[soft crown]

trying to make custom default loadouts for a mission by overriding and/or duplicating and renaming some of the base blufor character prefabs, when i go in game the loadout works fine but the icons are all messed up in the inventory and in the arsenal. For example in the screenshot jungle boots are shown as BDU pants, the BDU pants are shown as what i assume is the icon for some vest. I've seen them be represented by individual pouch icons, canteens, etc. Anyone seen this before? is there another step to get custom loadout prefabs working without breaking the inventory/arsenal? this is happening without changing any of the actual gear in BaseLoadoutManager, just pointing the loadout manager to the new prefab. problem goes away if i delete the prefab and use the base prefabs instead

[severe hollow]

When using Scenario Framework is there a way to keep completed missions completed upon server restarts? just like how in conflict it saves your progress ?

[terse blade]

So, this tutorial I'm following is telling me I should have 2 NavmeshWorldComponents green, and 1 greyed out.
However, I have all 3 green. Should I concern myself with this?

[severe hollow]

wut? you should have all three properly set up otherwise the AI won't work.

[terse blade]

Right I know, it's an old tutorial

[severe hollow]

Yeah i wouldn't follow old tutorials, this thing changes fundamental things every update lol

[terse blade]

It's from before AI could drive or fly it says. So I assume it's something to do with that. I know I'm supposed to assign two of their Navmesh Files to "CTI_Campaign_Eden"? I assume those are the two "NavmeshWorld" ones, not "ChimeraNavmeshWorld"?

And fair, is there a more up to date resource you know of?

[severe hollow]

That would make sense i guess. one of the navmeshes is for Vehicles.

The other two are for Soldiers and Lowres

[severe hollow]

It depends. what are you trying to achieve?

[terse blade]

Like, a relatively persistent, dedicated capture game mode for my unit

[severe hollow]

(AI can't fly yet btw)

[terse blade]

All good

I just want something similar to conflict. But I only want one base to generate supplies, and I want all the points to automatically have their given facilities(hospitals, mechanics, etc.)
Eventually I'd also like to find a way to emulate AI pushback, and have them take back points

[severe hollow]

Maybe try this video playlist from Sven Martin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8Jap1ntUUg&list=PLJH5r5udPLjlAEIfJARuXYoOJIX1p6CUB

he goes in depth about how to create a conflict scenario.

I am currently working on precisely that, how to make AI pushback. But I'm working with a different game mode than Conflict. I'm using Scenario Framework. It's not super easy but I'm still learning.

Gramps has a mod called "PVERemixed2.0" something like that, and he managed to make it so AI tries to capure bases on conflict PVE mode so might want to take a look at that as well

[terse blade]

Yeah, that would be amazing.
Coming from Arma 3, as much lame and dumb compromise as we've already had to take, the way we can save missions is amazing, using this dynamic mission as a canvas to Game Master ops onto, and save, wow

so, finally taking the time to learn to make it myself

[gaunt acorn]

@indigo marlin I'm not sure how much of an idiot i am...I may have found the AI issue, however I'm not sure what fixed it. So apparently in gamemaster you have to hit PLAY!!! I never did GM, always did scenarios.l The only thing I changed was my navmesh generator LOWRES box keeps giving me 315 but soldier and bt is 671. I changed my lowres generator numbers to match soldier and btr at 671, saved it, tested, then realized i had to hit play. not sure, but it worked this time.

[indigo marlin]

Interesting good info thanks.

[severe hollow]

How do i spawn as USAF (from Status Quo)? I only see two different spawnpoint prefabs but when I want to spawn there are no spawnpoints available

[somber trellis]

How can I add workshop mods to my scenario? I want to make an scenario y world editor and I dont know how to do it in a custom map and how to use props from other mods

[pure saddle]

Is it possible in Scenario Frameworks to place down a structure [the outline] "ready to be built", but waiting on the Supplies?

[chrome rampart]

Last time I tried this spawning a slot.et it didn't work. I don't know if you can drop it straight into the world.

[chrome rampart]

Workbench > Options > Dependencies

or

Create a new scenario and add them right at the start.

or

Directly edit the addon.gproj file.

[indigo marlin]

You should name your youtube channel LayerSlotTask haha

[somber trellis]

But when I create a new project and I set the dependencies it doesnt work I dont know why

[chrome rampart]

How are you setting them?

[somber trellis]

Now it is working, thanks

[chrome rampart]

LOL

Cool

[somber trellis]

Yesterday I tried in the same way at first but I couldnt seem the folders of the mods, dont know why

[chrome rampart]

Add them to the project launcher, yes?

[somber trellis]

I have also added yesterday

Maybe I was tired and I had a little mistake

Can I destroy in someway things from the map like houses or trees?

[chrome rampart]

From what I found is any object with a _dst in its name is destructible. IE. ammoCrate.et and ammoCrate_dst.et.

With v1.3, destructible environments are expanding to buildings, trees, and more.

If you aren't already, I recommend you work in v1.3 at this point. It has to be close to release.

[pure saddle]

Thanks, any idea what it is even called in the prefabs?

[chrome rampart]

Begins with FRB (Free Roam Building)

[pure saddle]

Thanks, was more looking for the Radio Relay, but it doesn't seem to be in there anyway.

I just tried spawning them straight into the World though, and the Perimeter of Stakes shows in Game, but no function to build. [I only see the Stakes in Edit Mode as well].

[chrome rampart]

Did you setup the gamemode to campaign building?

https://youtu.be/uagROsiOlgE

[terse blade]

so, making my conflict scenario, there's 4 factions. 3 labeled SCR_CampaignFaction, and one just labeled SCR_Faction. What is the difference? Is the last one not taking part in the local fight? Like civilian faction or something?

Also, I have tried to place my HQ on top of a modded aircraft carrier model. However, it only makes the HQ in the water. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Do I need to specify in the config stuff somewhere what y to spawn it on? I remember having tons of trouble with this in Arma 3, but idk where to begin with this editor

[indigo marlin]

what layer is the carrier on

Very likely a layer issue

[chrome rampart]

LHD Adelaide worked pretty well for me when I used. But yea it's the mod issue and solid surfaces. I cheat an put a concrete pier under the deck surface. May find something else that works.

[terse blade]

ty haha, I was just wondering what item to hide in the floor

[chrome rampart]

Override the carrier prefab, and nest the object in the prefab so it stays at the same height as the carrier.

[terse blade]

you think it has to be a floor? I tried to place a wall, as it would hide easier in the floor, but it had no effect.

[chrome rampart]

horizontal surface. Road, Pier, dirt. Something like that. Piers work good because they provide a solid surface designed to sit in water. Lots of other things happening so not an optimal solution to do. Out of the box thinking.

I always hated having this really cool LHD but you couldn't use it as a base of ops because you couldn't spawn on it.

I really don't see why if BI is going to make islands for worlds then give us a ship to deploy from. That would be the most realistic, reasonable start point in an operation.

[severe hollow]

Is it possible to send a message only to the player who activates a trigger, rather than broadcasting it to all players?

I'm trying to create a basic containment zone using triggers but I'm unsure how to implement it. I want to set up two triggers:

When a player leaves the first trigger, they receive a private message like "You should not be going this way."

If they proceed past the second trigger, they should die.

This effect should apply only to the triggering player and remain invisible to others. Is this achievable?

[hollow snow]

search the resource browser for restrictionzone or something like that,one would use it for deathmatch or cap n hold scenarios i would imagine gives 5 sec warning before player death see if u can play around and use that

[severe hollow]

I'll try to see if I find it. Thanks!

[brisk mortar]

Hello, I have a problem adjusting the radio range when I place an antenna, the range is always too high even if I set the transmitting range to 1. Do you have a solution please?

[chrome rampart]

Did you Override or Duplicate ConflictMilitaryBase? and edit prefab. Try that. Or whatever that relay transceiver attached to.

[severe hollow]

is there anyway to hide a layer in the workbench? i can turn off the little eye icon but it doesn't seem to do anything. what i want is to hide everything in that layer or area so that I can see better other things i'm placing in the same spot

[hollow snow]

uncheck enabled.- object properties down the bottom ,u dont wanna lose it or delete it but mabye activate it later right?cos ur working in same physical position/ area in the gameworld

[severe hollow]

Thanks I'll try!

[lean scroll]

Hey man, I watched this vid and my entity build browser is now empty. I built most of my mod (scenario Framework) before trying this so I probably left a part out, but figured I'd ask.
At one point I was trying to put other objects in the build mode, not just basic conflict stuff, but something borked. Now no matter if I started over with your instructions, nothing shows up.

[unborn pendant]

Check if you don't have EditorModeBuilding entity in the world. If so, delete it.

[lean scroll]

No I do not.

[chrome rampart]

You should be able to delete or disable all overriden, duplicated, or added components and restore back prior to trying this.

Did you add both components to the gamemode?

[lean scroll]

Yes I followed your vid and added the two componenets. At this point I'll just start from scratch and report back if i get the issue again. Otherwise we're all guessing(except MilOps). Thanks.

[chrome rampart]

I'm not guessing anything. It works as demonstrated in the video.

[lean scroll]

ok

[summer nimbus]

How would I disable supply generation at HQ in Conflict?

[lean scroll]

should be in object properties and resource component. There is a line about generation.

[summer nimbus]

I assume this? I just don't wanna break something on accident lol

Would I just delete it?

[lean scroll]

No i would set it the multiplier to 0. see if that works.

[summer nimbus]

Sounds good, I'll try that out

[summer nimbus]

didn't seem to work unfortunately

[terse blade]

I'm guessing it's not good that my LoadoutManager_Base_2 is greyed out? Any common reasons why it is? It doesn't seem like it's functioning.

[lean scroll]

could try getting rid of generators like you suggested.

[lean scroll]

is it disabled?

[terse blade]

not that I can see

[lean scroll]

looks like mine is greyed out as well. Doesnt seem to effect anything so far in my project.

[terse blade]

okay good to hear. Then my respawns are scuffed for some other reason.
Figured that had nothing to do with it, just trynna figure stuff out though. God I miss A3 editor

[lean scroll]

Check respawn components in Gamemode

I never modded in A3 but feels like a ton of people are fumbling around, veteran and newbie.

[terse blade]

ngl, I think I mostly just miss being allowed to commission this stuff. The new ui to learn, plus no commissions, leaves my unit waiting around for a good while to get back into ops. Just a shame.

But I'm learning. Slowly. Gonna have something playable soon. Then it's just doing that over the whole map.

[lean scroll]

Nice man. Good luck. Hopefully people will have more answers for you.

[terse blade]

so, if I'm using scenario framework, how difficult would it be for me to drag in the systems necessary for a supply network from conflict for instance?

[lean scroll]

Unless you want to go super custom, i'd start with the conflict game mode template in workbench. Even then you can pretty much adjust all points.

[terse blade]

alright, so I was thinking that. I do want a pretty customized conflict, I don't really want the military tents to be there or anything, just the capture points and maybe radio control if I can link it to triggers or something? I'll try a project with that.

[lean scroll]

There's a lot of youtube vids about that since it's the main gametype. If you go into workbench and do plugins>gamemode you can choose conflict and see what it's all about. Would be way easier than trying to build from ground up and copying stuff over.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsCWu77Bw9o

[chrome rampart]

The reason it is grayed out is because it has not been named.

[somber trellis]

In world edititor can I modify the terrain of a map like Everon, I haven seen in dead Everon mod, craters and some reamins of a crashed helicopters that apparently modify the terrain to it

[severe hollow]

When I use triggers to spawn AI, my game experiences slight stuttering. However, this doesn't happen when AI spawns via the Dynamic Despawn trigger. What could be causing this?

[severe hollow]

How can I set a specific weather for my scenario in the workbench?

[indigo marlin]

Anybody know where to set the playablegroup prefab i want to use ?

[void marlin]

You could override the original weather system and chop and change what you like.

Although I didn't get it to work 100%.

I removed the clear preset and made it only cloudy/overcast/Rainy.

And tried to make the weather change every 4 hours this didn't work.

If you need more info or a step by step guide let me know I will help you.

There is a few ways you can change weather.

[glass niche]

I haven't been able to figure out how to change the date. I don't think anyone actually knows 😛

time and weather manager seems buggy

[void marlin]

Dynamic spawning uses a sleep between each member of the squad that is being spawned this helps with FPS.

I assume the script you are using is trying to spawn in all at once hence the fps drops/stuttering

[severe hollow]

is there a way to set up similar to dynamic spawning?

[void marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/i-know-shea-brennan-sam-elliott-1883-im-aware-gif-24226001

[severe hollow]

Thanks I'll try that!

[void marlin]

I can change month and day date but not year date, for ever stuck in 1989

[glass niche]

I can see where you're meant to change that stuff, but since it's in the base layer then it's locked. Options are greyed out.

[void marlin]

You may even need to override the base weather in the terrain this is locked unfortunately, same as the above comment on weather

[void marlin]

Yes you are correct.

I had to override that prefab but year date never changes

[glass niche]

I did some searching before and somebody asks about that every couple of weeks, haven't found an answer.

[void marlin]

I asked a few months ago...

I was thinking maybe there is a date cap setting we are not seeing or maybe it is just locked for that terrain. 🤔

We can change year date in GM but not in workbench.

[void marlin]

Sorry Bro, I'm a complete novice in scripting, I dont know, maybe ask in the scripting section.

[severe hollow]

no worries i have no scripting knowledge at all lol

[severe hollow]

Where is the weather system?

I can't find it

[void marlin]

Search for Timeandweather in the hierarchy search in world editor.

I will send screenshots. I am having one massive thunderstorm here so I switched off the PC.

[severe hollow]

Oh okay found it but it's locked as you said

[void marlin]

Override that prefab in the main workbench window and change the settings you want, you may need to override or duplicate the weather base system that is being called by the TimeandWeather prefab.

Sorry of I'm not making sense.

Unfortunately this will change all terrains using that prefab. 😕

[glass niche]

In this case here, the time and weather manager is a unique "instance" with some overriden values already so overriding the basic prefab has no effect.

[chrome rampart]

Deep dive...
https://community.bistudio.com/wikidata/external-data/arma-reforger/ArmaReforgerScriptAPIPublic/interfaceTimeAndWeatherManagerEntity.html

[void marlin]

Override that entity to your mod folder and then you can change those settings

[glass niche]

Doesn't the entity instance overrides then revert it back to 1989 in the mission?

[indigo marlin]

I think you probably want to duplicate it instead of override it so it will change

And you will need persistence also if you wanted to save for more than one game session

[void marlin]

Yes it does unfortunately as you can see I'm on 2017 but always goes back to 1989.

[glass niche]

really I'm just trying to control the moon phase. If there's no way to set the date then I'll have to look into modding the actual moon config or whatever 😩

[void marlin]

You can change month and day dates in your gamemode entity or your mission header.

Do you know if the moonphases are true to real world ?

[indigo marlin]

Have you tried duplicating the prefab instead of overriding it?

[glass niche]

well the issue is there's already a prefab on the map. but it's locked as part of the base layer.

[indigo marlin]

Oh yeah can't use those Maps really

There's one guy on here that says he's going to be releasing his map with a raw version also with none of that crap on it. But most of the guys leave it in there because they're just making it for their own mod

[misty imp]

is there a simple way to set a factions vehicles, armoury and etc to include all

[chrome rampart]

For example, to put all the USSR weapons in the US Arsenal...

1. Override the InventoryEntityCatalog_US.conf
2. Open both USSR and US catalogs
3. In the USSR one, right click and copy the Multi Lists (ie Weapons, Ammuntions, etc)
4. In the US one, right click and paste the multi list into the same.

[severe hollow]

Is there a way to make AI groups respawn after being killed using the Scenario Framework? The only method I've found so far is setting a restore layer to a default trigger, but that doesn't work for what I need.

I want to set up AI that moves and attacks my base in "waves." I know I can configure respawns to happen at set time intervals, but that's not ideal. Instead, I want the next wave to spawn only after the previous wave has been completely eliminated—this would help conserve resources significantly. However, I haven't been able to find a way to achieve this. Any ideas?

[jovial snow]

How do I setup game master on my map

[wild moth]

Make a subsean if your world then in the plugins do game mode setup for game master and follow the instructions

[jovial snow]

Thanks

[misty imp]

i figured it would be aomething like this thanks

[indigo marlin]

Anybody here know why I would be gettting these messages on a faction setup from scratch? I have all of the entity catalogs setup and the main faction conf setup referencing them but it still says they don't exist..

SCRIPT (W): 'SCR_Faction' trying to get entity list of type 'GROUP' but there is no catalog with that type for faction 'Survivor'
SCRIPT (W): 'SCR_Faction' trying to get entity list of type 'CHARACTER' but there is no catalog with that type for faction 'Survivor'
SCRIPT (W): 'SCR_Faction' trying to get entity list of type 'VEHICLE' but there is no catalog with that type for faction 'Survivor'
SCRIPT (W): 'SCR_Faction' trying to get entity list of type 'WEAPONS_TRIPOD' but there is no catalog with that type for faction 'Survivor'

[chrome rampart]

So you created the entity catalogs from scratch?

[indigo marlin]

I duplicated US entity catalogs and renamed them and set them up

Everything else I duplicated base prefabs not US prefabs

and duplicated US.config for my survivor faction

[chrome rampart]

ok

[chrome rampart]

I would go back through the Faction Creation Wiki and check you've completed everything. I know when I created my mortar carrier mod (Not advertising), I had to go through the wiki a couple of times. I missed some steps that were linked out from the original page.

[indigo marlin]

Cool yeah I imagine it's just one or 2 little things somewhere.

[chrome rampart]

yea they are good but they jump around a lot too.

[indigo marlin]

I didn't override or duplicate opfor or blufor maybe something to do with that. Going back through it now ty

[terse blade]

I've set up a basic conflict gamemode, got all my managers laid out and everything, but I for the life of me cannot get spawns to function.
Every time I test the map it just tells me no spawns are available, and my base won't show on map. I've tried turning back so many changes, I am back to the defaults basically.
I have an absolutely default gamemodecampaign manager, and the only changes I've made to the ConflictMilitaryBase is checking "Can Be HQ", making "Is Source" for CoverageRadioComponent, and marking faction affiliation as US. Is there something I need to do that I'm missing? I have tried doing this from a brand new map with no success.
I was able to get a spawn there by manually changing the bases respawn to US earlier, but I still had no tent. I could hear the tent, but I could walk through where it should have spawned, and could see no tent.

[chrome rampart]

Did you review this? Might help. Maybe something in here. IDK.

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

Unfortunately, I don't know much about this game mode to help.

[terse blade]

Ty. Btw, as much as scenario framework intimidated me haha, your videos were amazing. Just wanted to say thanks for the resource, may end up having to go back to it.

[chrome rampart]

I find scenario framework MUCH more robust then this crappy campaign gamemode. J/K! Its a JOKE!

Seriously depends on what you are trying to do. PvP, campaign. PvE, Scenario Framework.

I may have to dabble in it just to educate myself in it's ways.

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:General_Game_Mode_Setup
YAW

[terse blade]

yeah, with the limitations of editing their prefabs for bases and such, I keep feeling like starting with SF again. I just miss the A3 editor, I keep making a million little mistakes in this, and I feel as though I'm progressing backwards a lot of the time. As I discover how to do one thing, I forget about another that I have to do for setup. So when I restart, I end up breaking systems I previously had working.

[chrome rampart]

I have 8000 hours in A3. I don't miss it. Enfusion workbench works great. There are no limitations to editing prefabs that I have found. None. So what's the problem?

[terse blade]

idk honestly haha, I tried duplicating and making my own conflict military bases for a while, didn't go quite how I wanted. So I tried to just edit a little about the main prefab, just change settings in a few components, now I can't get respawns to work. And I had them working fine before I tried to dupe it. Really not sure what I did at this point. I think I'm gonna have to try to start from a fresh map a second time. Where I'll probably try SF again.
And yeah, the depth of the enfusion workbench is amazing. But in my position, the increase in the learning curve is a massive hit to user friendliness, and all I really need is to make one scenario map.

[indigo marlin]

Do you think me replacing us and ussr in this file is ok instead of adding to them? And do you know if the number next to it needs to be plugged in anywhere else or match up?

[chrome rampart]

True. I started on zero second. It does take time to get used to. I was lost and thankfully to those youtubers who put out those first videos, it got me going in the right direction. You will too.

If you are going to do a PvE mission then yes go with SF. It's built for that. The wiki has come a long ways, and it's getting better every update. My next challenge is getting into scripting. I was just getting SQF down, and they HAD to release arma reforger! Bastards!

[severe hollow]

Hey @chrome rampart Do you think it's possible to set up a trigger that activates when an AI group is eliminated, causing them to respawn? I saw the setup you shared for ending the mission when a player dies and thought I could adapt it for AI, but I'm unsure how to go about it.

Instead of using "Player" for activation presence, I tried selecting "Specific_Prefab_Name" and assigning the AI group I want to respawn, but that didn’t seem to work.

For activation conditions, I set it to "Restore Layer to Default," hoping it would make the entire AI group respawn once they were all dead, but I couldn’t get it to work.

Do you think this is possible? If so, I might keep experimenting.

[chrome rampart]

IDK. I'll play around with it.

[severe hollow]

Alright I got it to almost work using "Any Player" for the activation presence. The problem is they all respawn (it restores the layer to default) when I kill just one of them instead of the whole group.

[indigo marlin]

@chrome rampart do you happen to know where to change the dominant hand for a weapon to left hand?

[bold sleet]

Ah there we go. I assumed the “done reading” message was the acceptance message when I first joined, some servers are like that.

[chrome rampart]

That would most likely be in character modelling. So you have to model the character with the weapon in his left hand. Unless the animations and models are already present in game.

[terse blade]

So this sounds silly to ask, but how do I edit the entities that the slots spawn?
While editing a conflict military base, I have components to edit for the spawnpoints and such. How can I edit those when they're just "Object[s] To Spawn" in my slot? Do I need to dupe/override and edit the object first or something?

[chrome rampart]

Not sure this is possible. Because destroyed is different from death. So you need to figure out if there is a health setting you can check, then execute an action if it is met.
If AI blood level is 0, then delete entity.

[indigo marlin]

Okay yeah I was thinking it might be in the animation.

[chrome rampart]

A slot is used to spawn a prefab. So you need to override or duplicate the prefab, edit to your liking. The add to "Object to Spawn".

Once you override or duplicate a prefab, right click on it, and "Edit Prefab"

[terse blade]

oof okay, thank you. That's what I figured.
And will I get in trouble for duping/overriding the wrong systems? I know there's like, publishing right issues with other mods, but I should just be using base game stuff for the most part.

[severe hollow]

Thanks i'll keep digging

[chrome rampart]

Absolutely. You have to think about how that item is used and referenced. Also how many times you are going to use it. One or Many.

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

I override almost all my compositions, vehicles, characters.

when I need to edit.

As for editing game items, it's pretty much open. As long as you don't monetize it, or take an asset BI created, then claim it as yours. Common sense stuff. They gave us the tools to do it. So I do it.

If your have trouble sleeping, this is a good read.
https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news/workshop-licenses-and-ip-faq

[wild trellis]

Do SCR_AmbientPatrolSpawnPoints not work in SF? Those have a respawn feature like you are wanting already.

[severe hollow]

apparently they don't work in SF

I'm sure there's a way—I just wish it were as simple as dragging and dropping like in campaign mode, lol. I'll have to experiment with multiple triggers, but I’m confident I’ll get it working eventually.

[chrome rampart]

why don't you add the component to the gamemode?

[severe hollow]

I tried but got a script error

[chrome rampart]

They are used in CombatOps - Eden

[wild trellis]

maybe the AmbientPatrolSystem needs to be added somewhere?

[severe hollow]

hm not sure how. they don't really work at least not with Area/Layer/Slot. Maybe I do need to add an AmbientPatrolSystem as Gramps suggested. I'll check it out. thanks!

I added this one. Didn't give me script error but the AI doesn't spawn yet

[wild trellis]

it might be as simple as registering the patrol via script when added? RegisterPatrol(patrol)

[severe hollow]

i have no idea how to do any scripting lol

[wild trellis]

this is in the OnInit of the AmbientPatrolSystem: ```c
// No need to run updates unless some patrols are actually registered
if (m_aPatrols.IsEmpty())
Enable(false);

[severe hollow]

so basically click the plus sign on "SCRIPT" select OnInIt and paste that there?

[wild trellis]

i think it automatically registers patrols if they are children of a CampaignMilitaryBaseComponent?

[indigo marlin]

No. That is a function within a script. Not a script.

[severe hollow]

then i'm lost haha. i'll take a look at combat ops eden to see how they handle it maybe I can get some insight

[indigo marlin]

Yeah I'm following this for when I get home I am having issues where my AI don't react or move even when shot. And I think it might have something to do with this because I'm using my own game mode prefab and scenario framework

[chrome rampart]

I just played from camera position and they work. It creates a battle between USSR and FIA.

[indigo marlin]

Might be something in the player controller or the game mode probably the game mode

[severe hollow]

You mean within combat ops or you were able to replicate it?

[wild trellis]

im guessing you might be missing either perception component or a navmesh?

[indigo marlin]

Thanks but I already checked both of those. Perception is working I checked the debug menu and it shows them scanning all around. Nav mesh I've baked like three times now and put it in the slost on the Scr AI manager

They don't even shoot back when shot at.

But I built them all from base character up so they don't have all the components that a US character or whatever would have by default

One thing I realized is that my faction configuration files are not inherited from us.config or ussr.config they are just from a base class. Not sure if that would cause any issues

[wild trellis]

there are settings in faction manager to determine friendly factions, maybe they consider everyone friendly?

[indigo marlin]

I meant not inherited from Opfor.config of blufof.config

I didn't add any friendly factions on them. There's nowhere to set enemies though LOL just friend

As far as I know so far at least

Yeah it very well might be something with that I will look into that part more

My other thought was maybe something with the task system because I haven't got that set up properly yet.

Do they need a default task to defend themselves or something I don't know

Anyway yeah thanks I'll dig into it more when I'm home

[chrome rampart]

within combat ops.

[severe hollow]

Okay. I looked through the components and didn't see anything different from what I have. i noticed they don't use area/layer/slot for ambientAI in combat ops if I recall correctly. They were also on Dynamic Despawn i think.

[chrome rampart]

the ambient component is not part of the scenario framework. Only components found in the scenarioframework folder are used by SF.

[indigo marlin]

Does that mean it can't be used with it or it just isn't there by default

Or we don't know

[severe hollow]

Not sure if I'm missing something but the ambientAI in combat ops seems to be regular AI set to Dynamic Despawn and not true ambient AI. there are some ambient AI prefabs in there but they are only waypoints as far as can see?

[chrome rampart]

It can be used. That said, some components that are not part of the scenario framework may require components added to the gamemode to work. For example the depots require building mode components.

[chrome rampart]

May need a higher authority (BI) to weigh in here about these ambient patrol spawn points and their use.

[severe hollow]

do they ever hang around this place?

[indigo marlin]

They are in certain channels like the specific role they have. One in terrain channel, one in animation channel, one in scripting channel i think

One in blender tools channel

[severe hollow]

Got it. Looks like we’ll have to figure it out on our own, lol. I’ll keep experimenting and see what I come up with.

[indigo marlin]

Ok I think you were right. I don't see the navmesh in debug mode unless I click "Stream tile in" on the debug menu

Ok I disabled navmesh streaming and the navmesh showed up but ai still don't react. Ruled something out at least.

[indigo marlin]

Debug says 10 ai are active

[chrome rampart]

Yea, They monitor this channel and if they have time they will respond if they feel they need to.

[indigo marlin]

I think I need to setup this component

I am the smartest man alive!

I also changed this to rifle since they have a rifle.

They are moving now. Haven't shot back yet though.

[indigo marlin]

They avoid vehicles also now.

[severe hollow]

Any idea what this error is? happens when I try to request a vehicle using the vehicle maintenance depot. I have everything set up the right way according a blackheart_six video as far as I can tell

[severe hollow]

I've followed all the steps again on a fresh world and the error keeps showing up. I can ignore it and everything works but just wondering what this is all about lol

[chrome rampart]

Check the campaign building manager component.

[indigo marlin]

Ok my AI weren't reacting because I just had them dragged into the scene. Now I've set them up with area layer slot to spawn per the SF framework setup guide and they are functioning properly.

rtfm moment

Now if i could just figure out why my mission headers won't read. Recreated it like 5 times and still getting this when I start server

[severe hollow]

Did you change all the original images?

[indigo marlin]

Yep I did but thanks anyway!

[chrome rampart]

screen shot?

[indigo marlin]

No screenshot in there yet I don't think. I'll try.

Oh nevermind that's in the publish area I don't have one. And I'm thinking you were asking for a screenshot now lol

Publishing now to test

1.3 Update just dropped

[terse blade]

If anybody knows how to enable the deploy menu in SF, would appreciate being pointed in the right direction.

[chrome rampart]

Change the class of the spawn logic

[terse blade]

awe dang, okay thank you.

[indigo marlin]

Alright got my AI shooting at each other now just need to get them to shoot at me.

Still getting this error, but gotta head out for the day pretty soon.

Scenario loads in fine though without server.

[chrome rampart]

That I believe is a sequencing error. It looks for the mission header, then continues to load, and then finds it. If it loads good and no issues, disregard.

[indigo marlin]

It continued and downloaded the mods, and then gives this.

Oh sht

thats the wrong scenario ID, in the midst of everything I missed it. Changing now

Still not working but it got further and gave this error that it also gives when I play in the actual game. a 1.3 thing I need to fix

Oh thats everon life component. I removed it need to remove a reference I guess.

You might want to ask in #enfusion_scripting

[unborn pendant]

Today is a very special day for us.
We are venturing into the waters of the Enfusion engine for the first time and releasing our very first project for Arma Reforger. However… Those of you who count yourselves among the veterans who remember the release of Arma 3 already know what this is about.

Project Rookie is the first remake in the 22-year history of Sarge Studio. It is both a test and proof that even within the Enfusion engine and the Arma Reforger environment, it is possible to create single-player scenarios based on atmosphere and storytelling.

For those of you hearing about it for the first time, know that it is a short narrative experience, not unlike a brief student film. You will enjoy it best alone, in the evening, in a dark room.

The Sarge Studio team wishes you an enjoyable experience.

[bitter verge]

@wild trellis ANY idea why my second base now shows up like this when unused since your update

[severe hollow]

hey @chrome rampart any idea why all compositions I try to place using the construction truck appear red so I can't place them? using SF

[wild trellis]

No idea. Is this just with my mods enabled? If not, see if it still happens with only my scenario (and linear mod) enabled.

I've not even had time to start my own servers back up just yet either.

[chrome rampart]

after the update? I haven't seen that yet.

works for me. Turns red for invalid position.

[severe hollow]

Yeah but in my case it's only red. Doesn't let me place anything anywhere 🤔

I am spawning the truck via the vehicle depot so I assume the set up is right?

[chrome rampart]

Try creating a new scenario, open the world editor and open the BI GM scenario and try it in there.

[chrome rampart]

Does your game mode look like this?

Just tested spawn a const. truck from the vehicle depot and building with it. No prob.
Mods enabled?

[severe hollow]

Eh it USED to look like that. Now checking it doesn't. it looks empty. but the SCR_CompBuild thing I saved on a folder was from a different scenario that I am using as a dependency and just overrid it

I have fixed it but I am about to test.

thank you

Note to self: apparently I have to do this process everytime I create a new scenario I thought I could just use the file from a different scenario by overriding it

[chrome rampart]

Yes you have to drag it from the gamemodeCampaign to a unlocked folder then to gamemodeSF. Yes because it needs to register it.

[severe hollow]

Got it. that explains it. I was able to use the vehicle depot without issue that's what threw me off. All good now. thank you!!!

[pure saddle]

Good to hear more people interested in Single Player Content. As much as I enjoy the Multiplayer side of it, I do enjoy my Single Player stories.

It is what kind of pushed me to try and get into this stuff. I know absolutely nothing about it, never watched any Video's on it previously, or knew how things were really done, so I started dabbling.

So far been doing it for a Month, and this is part of what I am doing. Audio is pretty terrible, as is the "script" lol, pretty lame, but I'm enjoying learning all this stuff and creating a functioning scene.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gY3iDHQkHjk

Anyone know how to get past this? Since update.

[distant basalt]

The mod version you're using probably isn't compatible with 1.3, try removing whatever "HCA"/"RadUI" mod is adding that script or updating it if there's a new version

[pure saddle]

HCA is a Mod required for vPad, so it's not really something "placed" in the world. Trying to open unticking the Mod also still provides the same issue.

How would I permanently remove the Mod? I can't get into anything except the Workbench.

[distant basalt]

Ah if it's a dependency of another mod all you can really do is wait for an update, or add your own overrides to fix it

I think I ran into problems when I tried using the vPad mod in 1.2 as well, kinda seems that mod is in a pretty WIP state so personally I'm just gonna wait for it to mature a bit before trying it again

[pure saddle]

I created a New World and closed that, re-enabled my Scenario with required Mods and left vPad out, and this time it worked, so not sure if creating a fresh World did anything, or it just needed a few tries, but it seems to be working now.

Yeah I may do the same, I barely use the Hand held Map so yeah a bit pointless if it's still WIP.

Thanks for the help =]

[bitter verge]

it doesn't need to be a mod scripts will do the same

[distant basalt]

I do eventually really want a tablet/smartphone in my mod though so when I get around to looking into it more if the author hasn't released any updates / there aren't any good alternatives by then I might look into making a sub-mod of vPad with overrides to fix any issues running it in 1.3

[void marlin]

I'm constantly getting this error after 1.3 update when I'm trying to open my scenario in workbench

Exception: Access violation. Illegal read by 0x7ff6f45289e0 at 0x4c8

is there an explanation to what is wrong ?

[pure saddle]

Yeah I'm still having issues with mine also, similar errors. I've even tried backing it up and deleting most of what I did, and I still get the errors and crashes after 2 seconds of loading

[nova onyx]

They are used in Conflict

[chrome rampart]

Yethe! Long time No Hear! Thank you Sir.

[nova onyx]

[chrome rampart]

I was wondering about that. I only saw the cinematic action.

TY

More to follow... Activation Conditions are giving me issues.

[chrome rampart]

Ahhhhh yes. If this is what I think it is.

Fixed: Civilians are disrupting Dominance Trigger calculations

[nova onyx]

Yes, it is 🙂

And you can configure it per trigger to blacklist specific faction from these calculations in case you would need it 😅

[pure saddle]

I take it they have changed a lot on AI Driving? That seems to be the issue with constant crashing I boiled my problems down to.

[chrome rampart]

Lower the speed of the vehicle. If using SF, use an action. If not, edit the prefab.

[chrome rampart]

Ok. I'll have to check that out when I get back. Thanks for addressing this.

[chrome rampart]

Perfect!

Pro-tip from a non-professional...
There was an issue in which if civilians were in the triggerdominance radius, and were friendly to USSR, you had to kill the civilians to finish the clear task. So now just check the "Ignore Faction Keys" and enter the faction to ignore.

[pure saddle]

No I mean my Game is crashing as soon as an AI is getting into the drivers seat. Not that the AI keep crashing lol.

[hollow snow]

i had a similar thing, is that with UAZ? any uaz crashed me on AI entering that vic only all other vics were fine tried various groups factions was uaz only for me,i saw there was a fix related to rear door entry...

[indigo marlin]

I was just obeying order

[pure saddle]

Yes it does seem to be 100% crash with the UAZ, and 50/50 with other Vehicles for me. This issue started for me after 1.3, had no issues prior.

What do you mean a fix with rear door entry?

[severe hollow]

Is it possible to have an objective that moves, allowing players to see its position update in real time on the map?

[glass niche]

try using Set Entity Position action. I think it's the same mechanism that moves the SlotPick objective marker. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Scenario_Framework?useskin=darkvector#Set_Entity_Position

[severe hollow]

thanks i'll take a look!

[golden forge]

Same here. I used the UAZ as my base prefab. As soon as an AI gets dropped in the game crashes with nothing relevant in the logs. If anyone identifies a fix, please let us know

[pure saddle]

Still no luck for a solution with me. It seems the AI 100% will work with a armed M10 25, and a Maxi Ambulance, but every other Vehicle results in a crash.

Standard Armed M10 25 and Maxi will work, MERDC version will also crash.

[void marlin]

How do I switch on the music radio from mission start? I want to make FIA base that is more lively with radio playing in the background.

[round token]

I made an conflict scenario where i moved some points and removed 3 points but my server wont start with it

Is there a way to disable respawn for players already in a match but still enable it for players joining the server?

[oblique hawk]

How can I find the scenario id for use in dedicated service config? ^ I think I'm having a similar issue to above btw

[severe hollow]

Did you change the thumbail picture and the other images in the config file settings?

[round token]

no is it necessary?

[severe hollow]

yes the server won't start if you don't-

so i'd start there.

[round token]

i will try it thanks

[hollow snow]

ingame/on server you could just disable respawn from logging in as admin/gm

[severe hollow]

Thanks that would work, kinda. but still would be nice to know if this is something that can be done in the workbench so that it's a feature even if I am not playing the scenario

[hollow snow]

im sure it would be possible yeah,you got a hardcore one-life scenario in mind eh? id be interested in that👍

[severe hollow]

Haha, yeah! I'm aiming to make it so downed players stay down until a teammate revives them. But healing a downed teammate should always be a priority—otherwise, it just wouldn't be fun lol

[round token]

i changed it and i have the same error

[hollow snow]

again on the fly from within gm u can play around with global blood regeneration rate from there just an option before u find a perm way around it hey best of luck👍

[hollow snow]

what about ur cross platform setting do u have playstation no mod support checked server side?

[severe hollow]

Hey @chrome rampart I was trying out your Military Operations scenario and it's really nice! I have one question: Do you have a tutorial for setting up a custom loading screen like you? looks great!

[wild moth]

I think its this one https://youtu.be/-moulDjJkDY?si=NDAlcreliVZs03EM

[severe hollow]

Alright thank you so much

[severe hollow]

is there any way to make some vehicles locked for players in the workbench? for example, I want to add tanks to my scenario, but I don't want players using them by stealing them from AI.

[indigo marlin]

Is there any debug gizmo or way to visualize the radius on things like this?

[silk sigil]

can different Ai groups or repeat spe AI groups share the layer of waypoints?

[severe hollow]

Yes.

[silk sigil]

nice. I will add some continuing AI flows

[severe hollow]

Nice! Can you elaborate on this? Sounds interesting

[round token]

What do u mean Boy that

[chrome quiver]

Does anyone have a scenario ID that changes the points on Everon, like removing St. Philippe base or adjusting purple points? Or perhaps a way to increase the number of capture points needed to win? If you have this scenario ID, please share. Any guidance is appreciated.

[chrome rampart]

OH! LOL! Ok. I'll look at that. I don't think I've seen that. I used lot's a AI mounted patrols.

[chrome rampart]

https://youtu.be/DCV49_ZqaJk?si=4mwleW9j_GMHVnPo

You might be able to manipulate this. Maybe use on player spawn or lock the vehicle and make it something no player can have in their inventory.

[silk sigil]

progress hardly. The respawn guys always lose their waypoints. I will try some script method later.

[hollow snow]

Each Ai single or Ai group has to have their own cycle waypoint then all WPcycles can point towards that same layer of waypoints

[hollow snow]

Ok i may have found a solution by process of elimination for me anyway.(Its not the show stopper cycleWp in the same layer something else).So for me it was only the UAZ469base.et which i had Overridden in the last game build.I deleted the slotai and slot vic for my patrol redone both the getin and cycle waypoints reloaded game scripts and restarted application as a good habit to do and i have it working all good mounted pkm patrol all good does not crash when Ai attempt to enter vehicle i hope this helps others just something to try as other people had various vehicles causing that crash

[lean scroll]

What does "Vic" mean?

[chrome rampart]

It could be related to base uaz. I've tried overriding base entities and had problems. So I stopped to use non-base. Baseloadouts are ok, just not base.

Vic = vehicle

[lean scroll]

thanks

[chrome rampart]

Vic = Victor = vehicle

[severe hollow]

Thanks I'll check it out!

I remember watching a video where someone explained how to create a "map selector" screen that appears after the end mission screen, but I can't seem to find it now. Is it possible to replicate this using SF?

[frank island]

How to let players change FOV in game, is it locked in my scenario

[pure saddle]

Is there anyway to reset all the Vehicle Files?

[pure saddle]

Even starting a new World I still get crashes when AI enter Vehicles

[daring quest]

How could I make it so when a player leaves a trigger area it'll restore a layer but only if no other players are also in that trigger area?

[severe hollow]

I think that's how it normally works though?

[daring quest]

I was testing with another player, when they left and I was in it, it still reset the layer

[severe hollow]

alright then no idea i'm sure other people with more knowledge will chime in

[glass niche]

Try this checkbox here.

[severe hollow]

Hey @chrome rampart I set up a defend task using earlier evaluation and it completed as soon as it started. I assumed this was fixed? or did I do something wrong?
edit: actually I'm failing the task instead of completing it lol. Not sure why. But it happens immediately after the countdown timer starts.

[frank island]

How to let players change FOV in game, is it locked in my scenario

[silk sigil]

TY. I find that if they share a defend wp not a cycle one, the first group complete the wp will make all groups stop actually.

[chrome rampart]

Using gamemodeSF?

[chrome rampart]

I think you have to set minimum players needed percentage to 1.0. That would be 100% players left???? I'm not sure how that is applied to the "entity left action".

[chrome rampart]

I have to look at it. I haven't built a defend lately.

[marsh lantern]

What gamemode is going to be best suited for more of a open world freeroam server?

I already have a running pve server. But looking to make something more based on exploration/freeroam based with Ai where players can build stuff

[cobalt coral]

So i just uploaded my Map (Alpiner Wald - WIP) and when i try to join it on my nitrado server it says on the multiplayerlist: TODO:scenarioName. IDK what i did wrong here pls help me!

[chrome rampart]

This is the defend task from my scenario framework tutorial. I just tested it again. Seems to work as expected.

The AI are outside the defend trigger, early completion is checked, and it does not complete when I am the only in the trigger area.

[chrome rampart]

gamemodeFFA

[cobalt coral]

What can i do bout it?

[chrome rampart]

did you build in a GM Scenario to the world?

[cobalt coral]

yeah

[chrome rampart]

Did you setup the config.json correctly with the scenario ID?

[marsh lantern]

where does one find that gamemode? not heard of it

[chrome rampart]

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

[chrome rampart]

Your missing the scenario in the mod. Something is wrong.

[marsh lantern]

cheerz man 🙂

[cobalt coral]

how do i get a navmesh

[indigo marlin]

Hey, is there anyone here who is familiar with creating a custom scenario for Vanilla or Crossplay on PS5?

[chrome rampart]

PS5 allows mods now?

[round token]

No, but there are servers with custom scenarios where the bases on Everon are placed differently

[severe hollow]

Thanks! Apparently all I had different was the fact that I had an area inside an area and that was messing with the feature somehow. Apparently it works now but I'll do some more testing so thank you!!!

So we can have layers inside layers inside layers but not the same with areas?

[chrome rampart]

No, you cannot nest Areas in anything.
Area > Layer > Slot
Area > Layer > Layer > Slot

Area must be set to "On_Init" activation AFAIK.

[stuck hill]

Hello, I'd like to know if this is the right place to ask how to change the city names of a faction and also the ranks. I change everything, save it, but when I launch the game, it goes back to the original settings. Can someone help me?

[severe hollow]

That's why my Task Clear was giving me the error where the task icon appeared at the bottom left of the map lol. The task worked fine, but now I've removed the area inside the area and now there are no more errors.

[chrome rampart]

IDK conflict side of things but I believe to change that information you need to override the .conf .

[severe hollow]

Can I use dynamic despawn on a layer but not the area though?

I tried it earlier today and didn't seem to work

But then again maybe I didn't set it up correctly

[chrome rampart]

Haven't played around with DD on layers yet. I think you have to check it on the area.

to use it in the layer.

[severe hollow]

I'm going through all this issues because I want to have everything in a single layer in the hierarchy lol. That way is easier to copy and past on other maps without having to change between maps constantly

[chrome rampart]

Oh no. You can put it in a single "World Layer" called default. But a single SF layer?

[severe hollow]

No that's what I meant, a world layer. Haha

[chrome rampart]

Yea you can do that.

BI does it.

[severe hollow]

The only problem is with dynamic despawn. Since I cant nest areas inside areas and I can't set layers to DD it's annoying. I'll guess I'll just use another world layer for my DD stuff.

[chrome rampart]

I've got nothing in my DD world layer for my tutorials. I can look at that.

[severe hollow]

That'd be cool if it helps you to make content but if it's annoying don't worry I appreciate your help you've given here. 🍻

[chrome rampart]

NP. I have to cover it.

[chrome rampart]

Try this. Set the range to zero on the Area. And the setup the layer with the radius and turn it on. I just tested it. It worked

[severe hollow]

Huh. I'll try when I get home! Thank you!!

[eternal kelp]

How can I make it so admins on my conflict server are always max rank?

[chrome rampart]

Try this?

[eternal kelp]

I have not, wasn't aware this was even a thing. Only seen Bacons admin stuff

Appreciate it

Hello everyone, since the 1.3 update, my server has been broken, so I decided to wait a few days and update all my mods.

My server has about 100 mods.

The problem is that when I launch it, at the very end it crashes and won't start. At the beginning of the logs, they say that loading all the mods failed, but they don't specify any specific errors or tell me which mods are "broken."

So I don't understand how my server is crashing and if it's a mod that's causing the problem, or even know which one.

Does anyone have any ideas, please?

[severe hollow]

You will have to test each mod individually to see which ones are broken. Or you can just check out the mod's update date on the workshop. If it was updated in the last few days it probably works. If not, it probably doesn't.

[wet tide]

I just removed all mods from the server, and I just launched it with only "Bacon Loadout Editor, Bacon Weather and Disable Game Master Budgets" and even with only these three mods, the server does not launch.

[severe hollow]

Can you share the error logs when you tried with those three? Also make sure you try with no mods at all

[wet tide]

Ahh, it's probably because of the modified scenario ID, do you know where I can find the basic ones?

[severe hollow]

Maybe this helps #enfusion_scenario message

[wet tide]

No, nothing to do with it, but the worst thing is that my modpack of 100 mods works perfectly in solo lol

[severe hollow]

Huh that's weird indeed. You can open the project in the workbench without issues? Have you uploaded the scenario again since the update? Any missing dependencies? Did you change the thumbnail images when exporting the scenario to the workshop?

[wet tide]

none of that

[dreamy flame]

I believe there is an issue with disable game master budgets at the minute, bacon is aware. Might see an error for something do with it in your logs but try disable it and see how you get on

[mossy mantle]

Hi guys! Hint who knows, can't install radio one, requires two people. How do I change it to one? Where do I look?

[eternal kelp]

These are basically entirely ace mods, is ace busted currently or am I just not doing something correctly? This is the log for a server I'm trying to host for my community.

[pure saddle]

Yeah GamemodeSF. Starting a new World and setting it up, I still get certain Vehicles crash the Game when AI enter the Drivers seat

[eternal kelp]

Do you know where to find the GM_Tools.conf that is referenced in the description? So far I've looked in the profile folder, and the addons folder both found under "My Games"

[severe hollow]

@chrome rampart hey man do you know why I'm getting this error?
It happens on a second Task Defend and it makes me fail the task even if I'm inside the area and no enemies have arrived there. It's weird because I have this task set exactly the same as the first one and the first one works well.

It seems this error occurs precisely when the second wave is supposed to spawn. As soon as the second wave spawns, I instantly fail the task and get this error. I'm not sure what's causing it. My setup for this is identical to my first defend task, which works perfectly.

I've also ensured the AI is properly snapped to the ground, but that hasn't resolved the issue. Any ideas?

[chrome rampart]

You would find the .conf file in the mod itself. Open it in workbench and search there.

[chrome rampart]

What scenario is this for?

[chrome rampart]

ANY time there is a major/minor update you have to test any mods you are running to ensure they work in SP,MP, and a dedicated host environment.

I haven't even touched one mod yet and won't for another couple weeks. I'm not playing "FInd the working mod" game anymore. It's a complete waste of time.

[chrome rampart]

I haven't seen this behavior yet. I normally use just USSR and CIV faction vehicles.

[chrome rampart]

Does the "Attackers" layer name match what is in the LayerTaskDefend entity?

[mossy mantle]

This is my scenario, only I can find where to change the value, before the update everything was fine

[chrome rampart]

The settings for the deployable radio are here for Radio_ANPRC77

[mossy mantle]

Thanks, I'll check it out today

[cold radish]

check for a duplicate of this component - delete what separately
If you haven't solved the AI crash problem on the vehicle driver

[severe hollow]

Yes it matches.

[wild trellis]

This is more about server hosting, but fyi, you need to list all dependencies needed in your mod list since the 1.3 update.

[eternal kelp]

I was able to fix it just by having the server redownload all mods, appreciate the response.

[eternal kelp]

Is there anyway to disable/quickly change the new rank requirements for items?

[severe hollow]

SCRIPT (E): Virtual Machine Exception

Reason: Can't delete instance (of class: 'SCR_ScenarioFrameworkSystem') with 1 references

Anyone knows what this is and how to fix it?

[balmy furnace]

Hello everyone,
I’ m would like to modify the conflict everon that we got with the game , put some more bases
I ve heard that we can change it and play on it with PlayStation as long as you stay with standard modification.
My question is where can I find the folder that I can modify
Somewhere on my server host?
How would it be named?
I m searching for hours now..
Thanks you all for you attention and help

[indigo marlin]

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

You have to make one there is a template at the bottom of that page

I'm not sure if that's what you were asking

But that is how you allow PlayStation clients to connect

[balmy furnace]

Thanks but not exactly
I would like to have the scenario files or folder of conflict everon
That way I can open it with enfusion add some capture point save it and upload it on my server.
It should be ok for PS5 …

[wet tide]

• Hello, I can no longer spawn entities, props, vehicles, or even units on my server.

I select them, "place them on the ground," but nothing, nothing spawns.

I use Bacon's mod to disable the budget limit.

Does anyone know anything about this problem?

Does anyone have a solution to my problem?

Thanks 🙂

• Also, can you confirm that since the update of Bacon Loadout Editor, all previously saved loadouts have been deleted?

[wet tide]

even after several searches, I can't find the problem 😦

[chrome rampart]

I would recommend you load a default scenario like GM or combat ops with no mods loaded, and test.

[wet tide]

I'm using the CTI Everon conflict scenario, normally it should work... I have no problems solo with the same modpack

I just tried the same scenario with the same mods, solo, no problems.

However, on my GM server, I can't place any units, vehicles, etc.

On my dev server, it's the same thing, same problems.

I wonder if it's the bacon budget disabler mod that's causing the problem, because in single player, the bacon mod doesn't work, which would explain why I'm not having any problems in single player.

[chrome rampart]

As I stated, use a vanilla scenario with no mods. Cut the problem in half. Eliminate the server side. Then go after the mods. Any time there is a major update you need to test every mod in SP, Local Host and Dedicated Server.

[wet tide]

I spent my day doing it, and my only remaining problem is this one.

[pure saddle]

Hi thanks, I am showing a Duplicate in the Vehicles I get a crash with. Stupid question though... how do I actually remove Components? I even tried Duplicating and Editing Prefab and it's still greyed out.

[cold radish]

Hmm... I'll be honest here, I don't really understand why can't delete it. It just worked out for me - I initially just duplicated the prefab of the car (in my case, the m998)

[pure saddle]

No worries, maybe it's a BI thing. It seems that every Component I manually Add can be deleted, but the Components the Gamemode setup produced are all locked.

Either way I'm pretty sure you may have the solution of why certain Vehicles are crashing, it's just a matter of finding out how to Delete lol.

[lean scroll]

Noticed the same thing yesterday. Wonder if it's something in the update or....

[wet tide]

[chrome rampart]

can you post a list of vehicles you see this with?
Try "Un-enable" it.
And did you override and edit the "Base" entity by chance?

[severe hollow]

ENTITY : SpawnEntityPrefab @"{30ED11AA4F0D41E5}Prefabs/Groups/OPFOR/Group_USSR_FireGroup.et"
ENTITY : Create entity @"ENTITY:4611686018427403910" ('SCR_AIGroup') at <3085.540039 96.899002 4346.577148> @"{30ED11AA4F0D41E5}Prefabs/Groups/OPFOR/Group_USSR_FireGroup.et"
AI (E): No AIWorld is present in the map. Move handlers won't be created.

Why do i get this in the logs? AIWorld is present in the world I've set it up correctly

[gritty vortex]

maybe you have aiworld prefab in the resource browser

[severe hollow]

Anyone knows why doors are all messed up on building prefabs? they open very weirdly.

[void marlin]

I noticed that AI will get stuck at some doors when they had no issue previously before 1.3

Also BI changed the one Shed to no back doors but still have the door action available on a non door (if that makes sense) and it is giving an error in the logs.

What do you mean by weirdly?

[severe hollow]

They open from the middle of the actual frame if that makes sense. basically blocking the entrance

I'll try to get a pic

That's how it looks lol

[void marlin]

I haven't noticed this but then I haven't been in game alot.

I will check quick.

[severe hollow]

Thanks! this is happening with the military Barracks prefabs, but haven't tested other buildings. I'll do that

alternatively I tried to duplicate the prefab and edit it to remove all doors, but when I save the changes and close it all doors are back

I'm also getting this in the logs: ENTITY (E): Door action not set for @"ENTITY:1055760" ('GenericEntity') at <9417.439453 45.156071 1688.795044>
16:20:34.765 ENTITY : Create entity @"ENTITY:1104305" ('StaticModelEntity') at <8831.291016 95.934265 2673.487061>

not sure if it's related but I assume so

[void marlin]

My barracks open fine.

Open Reforger vanilla in workbench and see if the doors are still messed up.

previously I said Shed but I meant Barn, that error is from Barn_E_03_closed, BI has made that "door" a non door object hence why it is giving an error, it was a Door in 1.2

prefab editing is confusing at first, you cant edit Prefabs that call on other Prefabs and except it to change since the original prefab is still being called. you will have to edit the Base or OVERRIDE the prefab and its children in order to edit it.

[severe hollow]

thank you not sure why this is happening. other prefabs' doors are also busted for some reason. I'll try in vanilla.

I'll also try to edit the base. thank you!

[void marlin]

Prefab editing can be frustrating, remember that children don't change in a parent prefab you will have to edit the child prefab aswell but if they are locked editing is limited.

[severe hollow]

Thanks for the help. How do I know which are parents and which are children? taking the military barracks for example.

Do I duplicate or override?

alright so I'm editing the Base prefab and there are no doors on it. so I assume it's pulling the doors from other prefabs that's what you mean?

so I have to go to where those doors are being pulled from and edit that?

[void marlin]

Correct !

Building have a furniture prefab and doors/windows which are separate.

What I do is duplicate the base building then copy the doors and windows in, then create my own furniture prefab.

But I would see what is causing your doors to be wonky in the first place as copying doors and windows will inherit the same issue.

Red Box is Main Prefab
Blue Box is Windows and Doors
Green is Furniture

Everything under the Red box and has a arrow in the Hierarchy window is being called up using another Prefab

[severe hollow]

How can I check what's causing my problems with the doors? because yeah I'm having a lot of unnecessary trouble lol I just want to use a building with doors that work correctly.

[void marlin]

Go into the Reforger Game remove all mods and open Eden GM and test if doors are wonky to see if the base game is ok
or
Open a new world with no mods in workbench to rule out base game.

if the base game is ok, then do a process and elimination to find out what mod is causing door to be wonky

or

find door Prefab and deducted what is causing the offset

I assume it is this door

[severe hollow]

I'll take a look. thanks!

[severe hollow]

Hey @chrome rampart do you know if we need to add any components to SF to be able to place functioning building prefabs? all the prefabs I place are broken. When I move them all the forniture stays behid and as mentioned earler all doors are broken too. it's driving me crazy lol

[chrome rampart]

Nope. Buildings work with the gamemode as is. So shouldn't need any components.

[severe hollow]

gotcha. thanks

[eternal kelp]

So whenever I use this, and use it to change my rank and then do something that would progress my rank it always makes me a renegade. Is this common, or an isolated issue?

[severe hollow]

Hi any ideas how to edit the background music? or how to add a custom background music that plays while in a match?

[chrome rampart]

IDK. That is not my mod. I would see if you can find the owner #1049297536617291827

[eternal kelp]

Are you aware of any other ways to make admins max rank?

[severe hollow]

How can I make it so a specific vehicle doesn't cost any supplies in the vehicle depot?

or alternatively, how do I make it so a vehicle respawn after a player takes it? basically I want to always have a vehicle available at MOB, so if a player takes it another one should respawn to replace it

by the way I've tried setting up a trigger with restore layer to defaul but that doesn't work for this lol. If I player is driving the car and the layer restores to default it kills the player

[severe hollow]

why is my endmission screen defeat showing "US Army has won!" if I am US army? lol

[dense rain]

Is there a way to create a trigger in Conflict scenario? Like if someone enters this area, an entity will spawn? I know this is dooable in SF, but wanted to ask if anyone knows a trick 🙂

Update: Nevermind, you can and I figured it out 🥳

[crisp rain]

won the battle, lost the war?

[severe hollow]

anyone knows what this is? I can't play on my server it gives me a replication Jip Error. Here are the logs:

: rpl::Pip::ProcessNetToGame
05:24:02.793 RPL (E): IReplication::JIPError: Terminating connection. (identity=0x00000002)
05:24:02.795 NETWORK (W): RplAuthBackend::OnFailure called (identity=0x00000002, group=1, reason=8)

[chrome rampart]

Try this...

[chrome rampart]

JIP errors are normally associated with a mod.

1. Remove all mods from server and player side, and test with default scenario. This will let you know the server is functioning.
2. Identify the offending mod by adding back one mod at a time. Start with your scenario. Hopefully it is vanilla and doesn't have mods built into it.

[gritty vortex]

From experience one common case is someone using orange prefabs in scenario instead of blue, or similar case of prefab not having rpl component but should. Maybe this helps.

[severe hollow]

Yes that fixed it! I had the same mod downloaded twice for some reason and that was causing the issue

[severe hollow]

It was not the case this time but yeah that has happened to me before

[gritty vortex]

Ahh bet

[severe hollow]

Thanks! but uh what am I looking at? do I have to add the SCR_VehicleSpawn component to SF?

[chrome rampart]

Disregard that. It doesn't function the same way.

It only works when the original is destroyed.

I thought there was a distance element to it.

[severe hollow]

Alright thanks no problem!

[chrome rampart]

Why don't you put a vehicle depot?

[severe hollow]

I planned to limit the well-armored vehicles to one per spawn while always keeping a standard Humvee available for transport. However, I'm not sure how to restrict what can be spawned at the vehicle depot, especially since some mods add vehicles to the US faction, and I’m not using them as dependencies.

Another idea I had was to set up a vehicle depot with supplies enabled, providing just enough resources to spawn a heavily armored vehicle while keeping the standard Humvee free. But I’m also unsure how to implement that.

[chrome rampart]

Vehicle depots are based on size, and trait of vehicle.
Small Depots are for Vehicle_Car traits
Medium Depots are for Vehicle_Truck and Vehicle_APC.
Large Depots are for Vehicle_Helicopters

Search VehicleService_US_Small, drop it in the world at your MOB. Play around with it.

If you set the CampaignBuildingBudget to none it makes vehicles 0 cost. At lease in WB. Haven't tested in DS, SP, or LH.

It will revert to props for some reason.

Might be able to make a custom trait IE StaffCar, and a custom depot to show only that trait.

[severe hollow]

I'll look into that. sounds exactly like what I need. thank you!

[severe hollow]

@chrome rampart is there a way to make a Task Clear involving civilians? apparently civilians count towards the required friendly forces presence to complete the task which is not good lol

[indigo marlin]

Do I need RPL components on area / layer / slots ?

[severe hollow]

sweet! thanks. I'll test it!

[terse blade]

In scenario framework, Faction Switched Objects don't change like, mid game do they? Basically, I'm asking if Faction Switched Objects rapidly spawn/despawn with faction affiliation changes?

[chrome rampart]

They only change if you direct them to change.

[eternal kelp]

Where would I go to disable a certain vehicle from being able to be spawned in a conflict scenario?

My assumption was the same place you'd go to disable things in the arsenal just in the vehicles tab, but I didn't see anything.

[terse blade]

What is the best way to direct them to change? I really just want player spawns and enemy AI spawns to appear/disappear with an area being captured.

[eternal kelp]

Disregard this, just realized I was being stupid

[chrome rampart]

That's allowed. LOL

[eternal kelp]

In similar fashion, where would I edit the rank at which you could spawn said vehicle?

If you're even aware

[chrome rampart]

hmmmm I think there is a few of places. Faction manager, Entity Catalog, and the vehicle itself.

[indigo marlin]

Just found your activation part 1 and 2 videos exactly what I was looking for @chrome rampart

[chrome rampart]

I think activation conditions is broken. I can't get them to work at all. Still mucking about with them.

[indigo marlin]

Ahh ok good to know. Yeah I haven't been able to get things to work except with OnInit so far

I asked on the scripting channel where 2 of the main devs hang out. See if they answer.

[indigo marlin]

I've got it trying to spawn using the activation layer like on your video

Log says cant spawn because using 2 activation types instead of 1
