enfusion_scenario

[odd meadow]

😂😂 I thought it would be easier having them all as a one time install. But makes sense why it’s bad.

The thing is I am using the scenarios faction manager to set entity catalogs. Is this bad? It’s so I can use weapons and vehicles from different mods in the scenario.

Is there a better way? Like having the scenario so it runs on default, and then editing the entity catalogs with a second mod?

[chrome rampart]

game mode has nothing to with entity catalogs.

[odd meadow]

I am more confused now, I mean the scenario itself, i edited the faction manager in the scenario

[chrome rampart]

ok thats fine you can edit the FM.

[odd meadow]

So remove all mods that I am not using?

[chrome rampart]

1. Make your scenario without mods and fully test.
2. Make another mod with all the dependencies you want and temporarily add it to your scenario and TEST.
3. Any dependencies that can be served by the server shouldn't be part of any mod or scenario. IE Server Admin Tools, Admin Messages, Scenario Reload Menu.

The vast majority of mods can be put on the server and they will work from there.

[odd meadow]

Legend! I will test it and let you know, but I think I added all mangers for conflict correctly. Most likely is a mod issue

[chrome rampart]

Did you use the "Game Mode Setup" plugin?

[odd meadow]

Not to being with, but I used it after and it verified they are all correct, no warnings or anything

[chrome rampart]

ok

good.

[odd meadow]

So 51% chance it’s a mod?

[chrome rampart]

No, I'd go 50/50.

at this point.

[odd meadow]

😂😂 I respect it

[chrome rampart]

Pro-tip from a non-professional...
NUMBER ONE TIP of ALL TIME

• Build your scenario's WITHOUT mods first!

CAN WE GET THIS PINNED! I've only said it like hundred times, but being discord it goes away to the nether reaches.
🤣

[odd meadow]

😂😂 I got too excited man I know it’s good practice 😂

[pale socket]

10/10 can confirm this lol

[pale socket]

i have made a full scenario, all aspects work EXCEPT the ai, when i test in enfusion through the play button they spawn in and shoot and everything but when i upload to the workshop and test it on my server they dont show up

[severe hollow]

Have you tested without mods?

[pale socket]

yes

are these the right prefabs?

its a conflict mode

[severe hollow]

I don't really work with conflict mode much but that seems about right.

Did you check the AI flags on the config file?

if you don't check those boxes you won't get any AI

[pale socket]

that might be it,i was following a video before that turned them off and i did without thinking

nah still didnt fix it

whats the ai limit threshold does that need to be turned up

[summer nimbus]

How would one disable team balance being turned on by default?

In a conflict scenario that is

[willow hawk]

hi guys, how to disable rank in conflict , especially in arsenal boxes

all options in workbench seem to not work proprely

i don't want to install an external mod for this

rank system bring an arcade feels in the game and i d'on't want this on my server

thanks in advance for your replies

[wild trellis]

I'm not aware of any option outside of modding it. Maybe in gm, but you would likely have to manually go in and set it each match.

[chrome rampart]

This might be too much, but what about disabling the "XPHandler" component in the game mode? This will stop the popup notice on experience.

[wild trellis]

Wouldn't that require a mod?

[chrome rampart]

I'm assuming he is creating or editing a scenario (all options in workbench). Of course we know what assume means...

LOL

But if not, yes he needs a mod at that point.

[wild trellis]

Good point, if in workbench already I believe that is simply in the entity catalog configs. However it depends on what scenario is being edited and how they did it if it's not a vanilla one.

[severe hollow]

I usually assume that people posting here are using Workbench to develop their own scenarios, but I guess the "#enfusion_scenario" tag could be interpreted in other ways

[silk sigil]

you can make some mod like this link to add weapons in entity catalog. So the mission itself can be vanilla-based. Only add those mod used for mission making in your core mod (e.g. the vehicles you placed in the map.)https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/6532C7FB73FF6B5F-IPCArsenalBasic

and the vehicle/helis can directly add in the server config without being a dependency, since they have their own config override

[willow hawk]

thank you. I'm going to try this. And yes, i prefer develop my own mod . I already have too much mods on my server.

[hollow mist]

I just posted a play test it's called Ash and Trash Reforged. Use the radio you spawn next to to request task you want to do

[hollow vector]

Pls help me all, scenario gramps

[gritty prairie]

ok so didnt go so well. Im assuming im supposed to be a Helo pilot and use the radio to create a Task "Pickup Troops" - but there was no helo outside, just couple crewmen with their pistols waving about. Also i couldnt End the mission and go to Main Menu -had to Alt/Tab out of the game to exit

[silk sigil]

hey guys, any mod to show friendly ai groups in the map?

[severe hollow]

Is it possible to display end-of-match statistics like shots fired, enemies killed, and similar data on the game over screen?

[lean scroll]

yes. i dont personally know how, though.

[hollow snow]

SCR_DebriefingScreenComponent -Play around with this one from within your Gamemode and of course load up a World Eden/Arland to Check it out the layout how its done

[hollow vector]

All pls help me

@wild trellis I use your scripts, but what is wrong, please help! Because of this spam my server fps drops from 120 to 20

[grand mauve]

Hi guys! Do I need to script to get playable units keep gear after death / respawn(?), or is it possible to param this trough the SCR_LoadoutManager? Basic Conflict mission, but with some weapon mods in the Arsenal.

[wild trellis]

Sorry I have no idea what you've done to get those errors, and I don't have the time to walk you through everything you're trying to do.

[severe hollow]

Alright thanks I'll play with it!

[severe hollow]

alright it works! thanks!

[severe hollow]

is it possible to change the size of the markers using SlotMarker?

[chrome rampart]

scale maybe? Either on the prefab, or the .layout.

[small ingot]

been trying for hours and hours on how to do this, thank you!

[safe zinc]

No problem at all

[onyx mango]

is there a component or setting in the spawnercomponent that I can set to where a faction will only ever be able to spawn at one of the two spawners related to that faction? I am building a US vs CAN conflict scenario and you can spawn at either the US or CAN HQ spawner randomly, and I set the faction affiliation component to US and USSR respectively (USSR is my custom CAN faction).

[onyx mango]

I set the factionaffiliation components to US and USSR respectively, for each of the HQs, but the US is still able to spawn at the CAN HQ (USSR faction affiliation). Is there a way to edit this?

[visual canyon]

Where do i set this image? I thought it was in the mission header, but no dice

[chrome rampart]

Is this a locally hosted dedicated server on your network?

[visual canyon]

dedicated remote

on our own hardware

[chrome rampart]

ok. I am seeing the same thing. And from what I can tell the image is presented. I have a dedicated server hosted on my network but I don't see the image. Others who host my scenario the image shows.

[visual canyon]

Interesting

port issue maybe?

I have our server locked down

[chrome rampart]

IDK at this point. I never chased it down since I am only running a test server. But yea locality issue for sure.

[visual canyon]

wild

thanks for the insight

[chrome rampart]

Something changed after 1.3 update. It use to display for me as well.

[chrome rampart]

whats your server name I can check it.

[visual canyon]

[NA] VKNG | Valhalla

we are going to playtest tomorrow

[chrome rampart]

So the image doesn't show for me.

[visual canyon]

yeah

would have to have someone else run the scenario i guess to see

[chrome rampart]

Yea. It is set in the mission header .conf file.

[visual canyon]

There right?

[chrome rampart]

yeppers.

[gritty prairie]

Are you still working on this? I saw it was updated but had same results. Can you just explain the jist of it? You see old school single player missions had Mission notes/Objectives written down as well as map markers letting you know what you gotta do where you gotta go. This one i dont see much except a "get Troops" after I use Walkie talkie to a transfer Troops channel

[hollow mist]

Host a local server it's meant to be played like that,it will fix the escape issue. you have to recruit the ai by joining a group as the leader then you can recruit them like normal. Spawn a heli using the heli pads the supplies are disabled so there all free. The task spawn but you have to hit cancel to refresh them after doing them once this is a bug I'm working on rn. I'm will update the description next time I get free time been busy this weekend

[hollow mist]

Looking into getting a way point to make it easier. But after starting a task look on your map for location with transport the ai can be buggy if the randomized enemy actually spawn you have to clear them all out before friendly ai get in. The transport task is a simple pick up and drop off while the cas is a destroy and clear area task

[gritty prairie]

ahh ok thanks for your info i do appreciate it. i guess this basically answers my original question about tradition SP mission - in which everything is set before hand, you dont need to run it on server, all entities are already spawned with all kinds of waypoints and triggers that activate depending on what you do. Again i appreciate your effort but pretty sure not what im looking for ie old school OFP/Arma1/2/3 missions. Looks like it just isnt possible in reforger - have to wait for arma 4 suppose

[carmine lotus]

Anyone know what could cause this issue?

In the workbench, the scenario Loads and launches just fine but when loading into it, or attempting to i should say, on the actual game, The screen just shows the black loading screen.

[chrome rampart]

The only time I see the black screen is when there are 2 game modes in the same world but that is in workbench as well not just the game. So... have you edited the game mode? OR does the scenario have mods attached? AND what does the console log say? Any errors?

[carmine lotus]

Yea there's only 1 game mode in the world. But it works in the work bench soo 🤷🏽

The scenario does have mods attached, I modified the Seize and Secure Game mode from Ironbeard to be compatible with RHS & WCS.

as far as the Console log, shows error messages in reference to

BACKEND (E): [RestApi] ID:[100] TYPE:[EBREQ_WORKSHOP_GetAsset] Error Code:400 - Bad Request, apiCode="ResourceNotFoundError"

But no errors which cause the world to not be created. Actually says that it successfully created the game

[chrome rampart]

That could be it. Servers have to talk to the workshop.

[carmine lotus]

Could it be that I was testing on my own computer and not running the mission on a dedicated server?

[chrome rampart]

If the black screen appearing on the server only, yes this is related to the workshop.

[carmine lotus]

Ok, So to continue troubleshooting, Try loading the mission on the Dedi Server, and then connecting as a client

[severe hollow]

any idea what type of spawn point I can place in Campaign mode (other than a MilitaryBase...) because SpawnPoint_US doesn't work even using SF components, but when I go into game master I can place a spawnpoint and that one shows up no problem

[severe hollow]

How do I enable spawning on trucks?

[void sparrow]

I'm trying to understand how the Elimination scenario was created. How did they add user actions to the handheld radio?

[void sparrow]

Okay so they create a new radio prefab, and add some more additional actions to the ActionManagerComponent. Though how do these trigger other stuff? I don't see any action that can be added to SCR_ScenarioFrameworkRadioBaseUserAction. Only conditions and audio.

[silk sigil]

Any Ideas to show AI groups on the map?

[severe hollow]

https://youtu.be/GV3ZLYmoloY?si=tKTdfHGZZcXFrUhi

[severe hollow]

No idea, but there was a mod called high command or something similar that showed AI groups on the map. Not sure if it's still on the workshop. Might be worth checking out to reverse engineer what it's doing to show the AI

[severe hollow]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/615F07D39925670F-BattleGen-HighCommand actually this is the mod I'm talking about. It was updated yesterday so I guess it still works!

[silk sigil]

thank you. I'll check it and try to find a method.

[void sparrow]

Okay so I should be able to find usages of SCR_ScenarioFrameworkActionOnUserActionEvent that references the radio actions, somewhere. I can't find it. Is there some way to search for script usages? EDIT: nvm, found them under insertion slots

[severe hollow]

any idea why this is happening?

[visual canyon]

Anyone had issues placing conflict bases on ground with tunnels under the ground?

They will not render when i do that

i cant place compositions down in zeus either -- probably a gogland bug

[wild trellis]

it's going to be on the surface no matter what afaik. Even if the surface is technically underground. Only thing I can think of trying is there's a flag somewhere for relative to Y you could enable. If that doesnt work, youre probably out of luck.

[visual canyon]

Thanks @wild trellis

[warm crow]

As anyone made a mission where one faction spawned at a single location, while the other faction spawned at random locations?

I can set up the random spawn locations for a single playable faction, just unsure how to enable a second playable faction with a singular spawn location.

[severe hollow]

Is it possible to add a suicide penalty in Scenario Framework?

[severe hollow]

What game mode?

[warm crow]

SF

[severe hollow]

How is it that you can set up random spawn locations for a faction but not a single spawn location for another faction? Since a single location is much simpler than random multiple or maybe I'm misunderstanding lol

[warm crow]

Disclaimer: Only tested in the workbench.

With one faction, there is no faction selection screen, so it spawns me in at one of the random spawn points. However, when I add a spawn for another faction, I need to use the selection screen, then all the random spawn points are visible.

[severe hollow]

First you need to change the spawn logic

To menu spawn logic (or something like that) I think the setting is under GameModeSF component

And then you need to make the other faction playable from the faction manager

[warm crow]

Yeah, I changed it to that and both factions were playable

[severe hollow]

As long as you are assigning the correct spawn point prefab there should not be any problems

As in Spawn point US and spawn point USSR (for example)

[warm crow]

How would you prevent the spawn points from being visible after you select a faction? As an example, the US would spawn at random spawn points (not visible/selectable) and the USSR would spawn at one selectable spawn point?

[severe hollow]

You would put all of the US spawn points under a single layer and set that layer to Random One on the spawn children

[warm crow]

That makes sense.

[severe hollow]

That way you get a random spawn point for US but it would. be visible though

[warm crow]

I want to avoid it being visible, but will work on that problem later (if possible)

[severe hollow]

Not sure if by editing the spawn point prefab you can remove the map marker

Probably yes

[warm crow]

I will take a look. Thanks 👍

[severe hollow]

Sure!

If I recall correctly there's probably a check box to make it visible. I'll have to take a look tomorrow but let me know if you figure it out!

[warm crow]

I probably won't get time till the weekend, but will let you know.

[silk sigil]

could any one remind me where to change the transmit range?

[severe hollow]

anyone knows if termination status affect only AI or everything inside the layer?

[severe hollow]

you mean radio range in a militarybase?

[silk sigil]

the antenna, I find it just now

[severe hollow]

it's under the radio component in the military base prefab right?

[stuck hill]

Hello, I have a question: is it recommended to avoid using the Game Mode Setup plugin when creating a PvP scenario with capture points? Or should we first use the plugin and then modify it afterward?
I'm worried about getting stuck later on, especially with spawning radios on players' backs, mobile HQs, etc.
Can you help me with this topic and explain the proper steps to create a well-functioning scenario?

[severe hollow]

What's causing map markers to look just like plain squares ?

[keen vessel]

The conflict bases automatically snap to terrain, which the tunnels are not. So despite the placement being on top, the actual base is below the tunnels on the actual terrain entity. You can disable the snap-to-terrain in the editor on one of the components, but you have to do the same for the objects that belong to it.

[keen vessel]

Is there an obvious fix for the black loading screen when using SCR_BaseGameMode?

[chrome rampart]

Try not using the gamemode base. Use gamemode plain.

[steel field]

Anyone able to point me in the right direction to find the GUIDs (or folder) for the "Razor Wire" prefabs?

I see the barbed wire ones in there but those are not the same as the razor wire you can build in the building mode

[keen vessel]

I'm trying to setup a GM based mode that has the US faction playable by default, with a fixed spawn on the map. This is working, except when you join the faction it does not automatically create a group, I have to create the group manually then I can spawn. Any ideas on how I can fix that?

[chrome rampart]

Build mode and Editor Mode components start with E_. Looking for a .conf file for build entities. I don't know off the top of my head.

[steel field]

I eventually chased it down. It’s called “barbed tape”…which is unique lol

[celest delta]

trying to load someones custom project into enfusion and it says "missing addon dependencies" when i try to open it in arma tools ... I do have all the dependencies (they are in their respective mod folders within "addons") But how do i link them to this project so i can proceed?

[timid dagger]

hello I'm getting this error and i have been trying for days to figure it out
Virtual Machine Exception

Reason: SCR_WorkshopItem: Item is present but LatestRevision is null!

Runtime mode

[quiet plover]

Morning! Quick AI question, I have built essentially a tweaked version of vanilla conflict Arland, which contains all original base points and ambient FIA patrols. I'd like to get some extra USSR patrols added in:

I'm currently adding an ambient patrol spawnpoint (USSR), plus some ai patrol waypoints within the same layer and grouped within the main spawnpoint - this is set up to mirror the default FIA patrols, as I know these work.

That said, whenever I test the game my USSR patrols don't do anything - the fire team will spawn in, and either idle or display "following orders" whilst just standing still.

Any ideas on how I can fix this please?

[chrome rampart]

Is this your workshop item or someone else's?
What is the workshop item you are referring too?
What is the version of the workshop item currently on the workshop?
Is this happening while uploading to workshop?

[timid dagger]

this is happening while playing, I'm running about 60 mods on the server. I suspect it has to do with Woodbury Map.

I'm going to go through and test each mod with the map after work until i find the culprit, but im almost certian its woodbury

[chrome rampart]

That sounds like an excellent plan of action.

[timid dagger]

I did do that last week (ive been trying to get woodbury working for two weeks now on a server)

and i got somewhere, but ive only delayed that error it seems

now im at 5 minute of server up time before it throws that error

before it was instant

ive tried with just the map mod and nada

same bs

im guessing its an error with the actual map

if anyone is curious the addon is called "wrecked_woodbury"

there are no woodbury servers so I don't think anyone has actually gotten the map working on multiplayer

[chrome rampart]

So this is what I am seeing after the .170 update.

Nothing has changed on my scenario as far as PS5 is concerned. I'm updating all my workshop items to see if that fixes it. the server.json is setup for PC and XBox only. DAMN Playstation! LOL J/K.

[timid dagger]

you should read reforger_servers channel

only thing working right now is disabling cross platform and only listing PC in the supported platforms list if youre running a modded server

its pretty broken

[chrome rampart]

Workaround...

[light nymph]

you think this mean psn mods or no cross play like dayz

or they just fucked up

[chrome rampart]

latter. Corrected now

[timid dagger]

ok guys, i have some more insight on why woodbury isn't running. need some help

I'm getting this, and its causing the player to crash on woodbury. every single scenario, blank scenarios, custom conflicts, vanilla conflict, game master, etc. I've tried just the map and a spawn point. nothing.

im guessing it has to do with the alice vest first aid item

but i have no idea how or why that is crashing the game, also tons of these on client side log

12:36:21.763 RESOURCES (W): Maximum number (32) of simultaneous clutter models reached!

which are just spamming the logs

so i think this map is broken and i can't seem to contact the original map maker, and I can't duplicate it to remove the problematic items

@heady lichen any insight?

[chrome rampart]

Let me look at it. I'll test with SF

Pretty sweet map..... new scenario in-bound!

[timid dagger]

Amazing map

The size and structure layout is wonderful

[chrome rampart]

In workbench it functions. He has some weird stuff with directory structure and boundaries.

[timid dagger]

I'll load spin it up when I'm home from work and maybe you can check it out

It seems to be a client side error

In workbench it functions great

Such a cool map though, so much potential

[austere lily]

Setup a conflict scenario and the main bases have no radio connection. What am I missing?

I put in radiomanager and its still not working.

nvm im fuckin stupid

[timid dagger]

haha what was it

coverage> is source?

[austere lily]

I'LL NEVER TELL

[austere lily]

Yeah

[timid dagger]

do you use encryption keys?

[surreal parcel]

Hey! Apologies if this is the wrong channel

Im editing the prefab for an arsenal (I dont intend to keep it as a shelf, just for testing) but try as I may when placing the editable prefab in game mode, the surplus boxes and bushes still show

You can see Ive removed them from the prefabs as shown in the preview images, but they still persist! Are they referenced/called upon from somewhere other than the standard prefab hierarchy?

[timid dagger]

I think i found the problem, but i'm not sure what the problem is in side the problem haha

[surreal parcel]

Nevermind, think ive found it! SCR_EditorLinkComponent - hidden away!

[timid dagger]

i wish i could delete this from the map. everything i or another player on my server gets kicked from a woodbury match, this is the problem

[heady lichen]

Just pushed an update removing the firstaid pouch

[timid dagger]

I love you

This map is really awesome

[heady lichen]

Thanks, You should check out my new Vietnam map Vin Drin Dop

[timid dagger]

I will make it a point too

[timid dagger]

also i found one more bug on woodbury, at Terrain Block Location [42, 6]

"maximum number of simultaneous clutter models reached

17:32:59.472 RESOURCES (W): Discarded collection 'Configs/Clutter/Collections/c_collection_Pebbles_02.conf', no configs were used out of 1!

Approx. terrain block location [42, 6], offending model: 'Assets/Clutter/Vegetation/Grass/Seaweed/c_seaweed_01.xob'

there are a few entities in that terrain block that write to the log constantly

I'll DM you @heady lichen there are a few other useable item conflicts that are throwing disconnects. simple fix

[wicked summit]

So I’m making a conflict scenario with SCR_GameMode_campaign. I’m trying to garrison a building my set up is area -> layer -> character. I want the character to have dynamic despawn so I enable it in my area’s components and set the radius but it’s not working. Any one have any tips?

[timid dagger]

hey @heady lichen i found the rest of the problematic entities. delete the following items, Canteen_US_01 , Helmet_PASGT_01_item, Binoculars_M22, there are a few instances of canteens, the stack on the target range that those belong to. the helmet and bino's should be next to each other removing all those will remedy the MP crashes

[severe hollow]

I think you have to add game mode SF components to your game mode if you want to work with dynamic despawn

also the correct way is Area/Layer/Slot

[indigo marlin]

Any particular reasons a ShowPopupNotification action works just fine but if I replace it with a showlayout in the same spot it doesn't show the layout?

[chrome rampart]

Screen shot your action please

[chrome rampart]

Works for me

[indigo marlin]

Tried multiple layouts to make sure it wasnt that file

[chrome rampart]

which .layout are you using?

[indigo marlin]

Was going to try it on layer and slot next but still curious why it won't work like this, just to know. It's on area now.

[indigo marlin]

I tried a few random ones

[chrome rampart]

I have mine on a slot

[indigo marlin]

Ok i'll test that

[chrome rampart]

The popup layout must show exactly what you want to display.

[indigo marlin]

The popup ones work.

Just not the ShowLayout one

[chrome rampart]

What does the MissionPopup_GrowOps.layout show when you open it?

[indigo marlin]

I have had it working before. I think I might have to make an activation layer and do it that way...but not sure why it doesn't work just like the showpopupUI

[chrome rampart]

This works great. I like it.

I have it on the slot. I couldn't get it to work on the area or layer. Some actions require a slot

I also switched out the RichTextFrame with textframe

The fadeIn, fadeOut, and timer doesn't seem to work right now.

[surreal parcel]

When working with the Sample Faction, does anybody know where these GM Faction Names and their associated flag icons are referenced? Cant find it to change it anywhere!

[chrome rampart]

It comes from one of the .conf files. Either for the faction or entity catalog. @surreal parcel

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

[wicked summit]

So this seemed to work. Thank you. Im now having an issue where the AI is static they dont move or detect me as a threat. I have my object to spawn set to Character_FIA_Rifleman in my slot.et. any thoughts?

[severe hollow]

Most likely a navmesh problem. You have to set all three navmeshes that belong to the map you are using

it's under the SCR_AiWorld manager

[wicked summit]

They are set I have other ambient patrols that are able to walk around go in/out of buildings.

Do I need to set a waypoint?

[severe hollow]

All characters and group come with a defend waypoint as a default so I don't think that's the issue here

wait are you using SlotAI or just Slot?

[wicked summit]

Slot.et

[severe hollow]

Maybe that's the problem. for AI use the SlotAI prefab

[wicked summit]

Copy going to test now thanks

Okay that appeared to be the issue. So thank you. Now my next problem is Im trying to disable their movement by adding the component SCR_AIConfigComponent to the SlotAI.et. I believe this config is a mod for the CRX A.I. However the component doesn't appear to work. Any tips?

Disregard I believe I found a way by creating a custom defend waypoint set to a radius of .5. Doesn't have as much detail as CRX but it works. Thanks for your help @severe hollow spent probably 10 hours trying to figure out dynamic despawn. You made my day!

[severe hollow]

Yes that's how I do it too when I want them to stand still in a spot I have a custom defend waypoint set to 1 or something haha. No problem man glad I could help!

[surreal parcel]

I thought so, but cant find it anywhere! Its likely im just being blind! Ill have another look, thanks for confirming 🙂

[wicked summit]

So using the custom defend waypoint they appear to stay in position until the firefight starts is this normal?

[severe hollow]

Yes unless you set the waypoint priority higher. Try something like 2000

[heady lichen]

Pushing update now, I removed the listed entities.

[timid dagger]

Dude you are the man, I appreciate you! Also sorry for spamming you I didn't mean to be pushy

You're map is incredibly fun, and I think a lot of people are going to enjoy 128 player scenarios on it, also the dam is absolutely bonkers for battles

I'll keep you posted if I find anything else

Also it's all four canteens, idk if I was clear about that

Thanks again!

[heady lichen]

Happy to help, please let me know anything I can do to help get operational 128 going. Think a Red Dawn type scenario would be easy to throw together with vanilla assets and a few mods. Removed all 4 canteens

[timid dagger]

That's a great idea

[small ingot]

I just watched blackhearts tutorials on triggers. I am having a specific problem where the countdown timer and message is not showing up. I have this setup in the SlotPlayerTrigger, as it is in the video. I got the vehicle to spawn after 10 seconds. the problem is the ui timer and message are not showing up.

[severe hollow]

did you check the "show notification" box?

[small ingot]

Yes

[severe hollow]

I've just tried and it's working for me. can you share a screenshot of your settings?

[lucid sand]

How do i put non Prefab scripts into a Scenario, this is probably dumb to ask but.

It wont let me edit the default layer, and just putting the Scripts into my Project folder does nothing

[severe hollow]

Try #enfusion_scripting

[timid dagger]

just confirmed map is fixed! five hour session no crashes!

[indigo marlin]

Awesome thanks. Got sidetracked earlier.

[severe hollow]

any idea why hints show up in world editor but not on my server? the weird thing is that yesterday it was working fine. I've already tested without any mods and it's still the same. it's super weird

upon further testing it seems like Hints don't work at all on servers. They work fine on single player in the exact same scenario

[violet obsidian]

I'm trying to set up a team deathmatch but after adding a factions manager, loadout manager, gamemode and two spawns, the game tells me there are no spawns available when I pick a faction and group. How do I fix this?

[grand arch]

I have added quite a lot of the CRX settings to the SlotAI very bottom below the vanilla A.I. settings like formation and skill.
So you should be able to utilize them directly from there.
No need to add something.

[chrome rampart]

submit a feedback ticket please.

[timid dagger]

Hints work on my server

[chrome rampart]

seems hit and miss. I can get them to work in MilOps 1 Everon. But apply the same to MilOps 1 Arland they don't work.

[timid dagger]

im running instances on woodbury, bergamo, and north carolina and they all had hints working last night i remeber seeing them when i did my post work check ins haha (log into each server check them, etc)

[indigo marlin]

I believe there is a hint manager component that should be on the game mode entity you can check for.

[severe hollow]

Alright so at least is not only me

[severe hollow]

Yeah the thing is they were working fine before

[indigo marlin]

Ah yeah. Maybe from that update yesterday or the day before whenever it was

[severe hollow]

Game hasn't been updated between when hints worked and when they stopped working tho which is what I find weird. Also they do work offline it's only online that they don't work (for me at least) and they absolutely work on the workbench. I will try again today

[indigo marlin]

There was a game update yesterday morning if you don't know

[severe hollow]

the last update was May 7th, no? and it was working that same night after the update. but who knows maybe that's it.

[indigo marlin]

Ah yeah ok

[white spade]

Is there a good video on Editing an existing scenario and publishing it to the workshop in order to run it on my server? Looking to modify a scenario but start with something like the RBR version of a WCS scenario.

[timid dagger]

I did notice there are floating objects on the south western air field, such as the ATC fending and hand rails, so running a floaters plugin might remedy that, obviously doesn't effect playability, but thought I'd give you a headsup. everything else so far so good homie

[wicked summit]

anyone know a good video or tutorial for placing crewed vehicles?

[heady lichen]

Pushing update now. I think I got”em all. Thanks again for the feedback!

[timid dagger]

hell yeah

[timid dagger]

I think these are the only floaters left

[heady lichen]

Thanks, I had a layer hidden lol Fix out now

[timid dagger]

based

[severe hollow]

Hints are working again... but does anyone actually know why they broke in the first place? It’s frustrating to build features around systems that can suddenly stop working for no apparent reason.

[earnest rover]

As someone who is familiar with arma 3s mission editor where should I start? I want to make coop missions/ small scale pvp scenarios

[severe hollow]

@chrome rampart hey man do you know if there's a way to restrict weapons to players depending on their role/class?

[chrome rampart]

My advice...

1. Forget everything you know about Arma 3, and mission editor.
2. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Resource_Manager
3. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:World_Editor
4. https://youtu.be/Zji4Jlfg7lQ?si=2oiFxmtpQ6mgExvs

[chrome rampart]

IDK. Of course never really thought about it so haven't ever dug into it. I don't recall seeing a mechanics for it.

[severe hollow]

Thanks

[warm crow]

This should help you https://youtu.be/PaNXRI_r7uE

[warm crow]

Blackheart Six has a video on ai vehicle patrols, I can't remember which one it is though. But it should help you out. https://youtube.com/@blackheart_six?si=1HqCO4W7bwFAlFwO

[wicked summit]

Ill check that out thanks! Your videos have helped me a ton as well!

[warm crow]

As [MilOps] Creator mentioned above, forget what you know about mission making from A3. Coming from A3 myself, it took me 50hrs in the workbench before I could run my first OP. Think going from Eden to a developer tool which is pretty darn powerful.

AR is broken up into 3 default modes for mission making, Conflict (A CTI style mission, basically placing modules down on the map), GM (Game Master aka Zeus) and Scenario Framework (making custom OPS).

Anything Scenario framework related, check out https://youtube.com/@blackheart_six?si=LQGcXN9W4Qz_LkfF. This is where I started. Man is the grandfather of SF knowledge lol.

For conflict, I have a few videos of which one has been linked above. Conflict is probably a good point to start and gain some fundamentals. This video shows how Configs link together, which you need to know. https://youtu.be/eT2HaRM4MJY

[lucid sand]

I’ve been needing a good video on Exactly this lmao

[lucid sand]

But still having an issue where for whatever reason anytime i spawn in theres no HUD at all

[chrome rampart]

This is where I started. Man is the grandfather of SF knowledge lol.
Watch it now... LOL!

Although I am getting ready to retire. 50 working days left. @warm crow

[timid dagger]

I cannot for the life of me get my basecharacters to spawn with a shovel or a map on my conflict server. I've edited the RHS character prefabs, everything loads except the map the etool, i've tried all etool variants and all map variants but nothing. anyone have this issue? im using RHS prefabs as my base

[warm crow]

Is the HUD turned off in your options?

[warm crow]

Grandfather of knowledge is a sign of respect 🙂

Oh man, 50 days, that must be exciting. Hopefully you have plans other than Arma 😅

[warm crow]

Try placing them into a different piece of clothing/gear. Maybe there isn't enough space 🤔

[timid dagger]

that was exactly my problem

thank you

i appreciate the info

[warm crow]

Looks like you solved it first, nice work 👍

[timid dagger]

I have one other question, in my conflict scenario I can't seem to (or rather I don't know how to) set the points circled in red as selectable objectives for my AirPort HQit defaults to points across the map

ohh maybe it's linear?

but then if i spawn the other base isee this

[timid dagger]

disregard, i figured it out apologies

[lucid sand]

No, its just the scenario for some reason

I run other scenarios just fine but

and for some reason when it gets put into server the spawns arent working, but they work in SP and Testing

[warm crow]

That's strange

[eternal bronze]

can any one help me? After placing ambientpatrolspawns all of the ai spawn at once taking up the budget and they dont seem to despawn when i leave the area. im using the gm gamemode.

[chrome rampart]

dynamic despawn is part of the scenario framework game mode not the game master game mode.

[eternal bronze]

thank you do i need to add it as a component or is it already in there with scenerio framework?

nvm found it

[chrome rampart]

https://youtu.be/U-7RsaKR0qY?si=XxOgkSATZ7nrDMll

[eternal bronze]

i made new project and now im just gonna use the SF gamemode but i still cant get them to despawn even with dynamic despawn activated. they all spawn at once and stick around no matter the distance.

[chrome rampart]

did you check the box in the gamemodeSFmanager component?

[eternal bronze]

yeah i did but wait do i need to use the area and slot system?

with ambientpatrolspawn

[chrome rampart]

ambientpatrolspawn is not part of the SF.

only prefabs in the scenario framework folder are.

[severe hollow]

So a few points to clarify:

Ambient Patrols are always pre-spawned. You can see their markers from any distance, and they count toward the AI budget, but they don’t render or become active until you're within view distance (which likely depends on the server's view distance settings).

If you want true dynamic despawn behavior, you need to enable it in the GameModeSF. That means using the correct Scenario Framework structure: Area, Layer, and Slot. The dynamic despawn setting must be applied to the Area (not the Layer or the Slot)

Set your desired despawn range on the Area and use a SlotAI to place your AI. With this setup, the AI will only spawn when a player enters the Area.

[severe hollow]

I'm having an issue where a trigger that is supposed to activate on a 60 min timer activates as soon as I die. anyone knows why this happens?

[earnest rover]

Thank you @chrome rampart and @warm crow

[chrome rampart]

Post the Object properties of the plugin

[severe hollow]

It's supposed to end the mission after 60 minutes, but instead it ends immediately when I die.

[chrome rampart]

Try putting the End Mission on the Finished Actions @severe hollow

[severe hollow]

Alright thanks I'll test

[severe hollow]

It no longer activates the trigger upon death, but it restarts it, so it goes back to 60 min 🤔

[chrome rampart]

that's correct because you only have 1 player.

When you die and respawn its starts over. If you have 2 players and one dies, the counter would keep counting

Test this by setting the trigger to any character, and place a character in the world of the same faction as the player.

[severe hollow]

Alright will do!

Hey man do you know how to remove the "New task available" pop up without disabling the Layout?

[chrome rampart]

set opacity to 0.

[severe hollow]

Thanks the problem is that makes all of the notifications disappear and I would like to make some appear and some don't. I guess that is not currently possible.

Did the hint thing got fixed for you?

I'm still having trouble with that

[chrome rampart]

I have looked yet.

[severe hollow]

Alright

[chrome rampart]

So when does the "New Task Available" appear? You may be in the wrong .layout.

[wicked summit]

Do you guys recommend using ambient patrols for conflict mode or do you recommend using Area->Layer-> Slot?

[chrome rampart]

ambient patrols.

[severe hollow]

Yeah I guess that's not the one. I'm actually referring to the one that lets you know if a task was completed or failed. I thought they were the same one

[chrome rampart]

Area/Layer/Slot is for scenario framework game mode.

@severe hollow Yea IDK I thought is was all in TaskNewElement

[wicked summit]

Copy, also is there a way to delete prefabs (ie. hescos/connex box’s) from the original map in my sub scene? I am using the Khunar province map.

[severe hollow]

Task new element handles the mission markers, but the notifications are handled by PopupUI.Layout

[chrome rampart]

No, not without copying the entire world and pasting into an empty world.

@severe hollow OH thats right I was think something else.

sorry

Yea unless there is a specific .layout for that text it is generic.

[severe hollow]

Yeah no worries. thanks!

[wicked summit]

Is there a way to increase ai budget for ambient patrols? Also is it recommended to increase if there is a way or could it mess with performance?

[severe hollow]

As far as I know, game budgets in Arma Reforger aren't very accurate and don't reflect real performance if you're using decent hardware. They seem primarily designed with consoles in mind, especially the Series S.

I don't know how to disable the budget system through Workbench, but there are mods that do it, like Bacon's "Disable Game Master Budgets."

Also, placing a lot of ambient AI will likely push the budget over 100%, but that doesn't mean all of it is active or consuming resources. Distant AI is usually pre-spawned but not simulated, so no physics or active processing until players get close.

[wicked summit]

Is it necessary to have a Control HQ for OPFOR in conflict mode? If so is there a way I can make the cp tent for my control point invisible?

[wicked summit]

Im using the taliban mod as well and I have a ton of error messages pertaining to target storage are these something to worry about? Also its giving me error codes about a lot of modded vehicles and their GUID is this something to worry about? When I test its fine and im still able to spawn vehicles.

[eternal bronze]

i got the the groups to spawn and despawn with the area layer slotai. Does layertaskdefend make them defend in an area and can i adjust parameters ?

[eternal bronze]

ok so i just dragged an aiwaypointdefend into the slot and it seems to be working

[severe hollow]

Yes but layer task defend is a task not a waypoint. It's also a complex task to set up

[eternal bronze]

gotcha lol im just using way point its working solid. my other concern is im doing a pretty big project, ai spawns all over a large map. im just wondering if another update comes out am i gonna have to comeback and do all of this again?

[severe hollow]

Not likely, unless they change fundamental systems. Which can happen but i'd say you're safe. Just be very organized with your layers and folders to maintain clarity and modularity in case you need to change anything in the future

And make backups regulary!!!! nothing worse than suddenly losing all progress because some random shit lol

[chrome rampart]

Yep. That is a pit fall of using mods. And something I highly recommend you don't do at this point. And the reason is this, if you are using a custom map and there is a major or even a minor update that breaks that world then your scenario is broken. And/or the world builder isn't doing any updates. The workshop is full of mods that haven't been updated because the owner has moved on.

And if you look at the road map of what is coming... power grid. That will most likely break worlds because they will change all the electrical prefabs.

I am not doing any released scenarios on any custom worlds until Arma 4 and enfusion engine is stable. The engine is not done yet.

[chrome rampart]

I think if you override EditorManager.et you can increase the budgets there.

[eternal bronze]

i couldnt stop myself if i wanted to lol but i think itll be fine for a while atleast, arma 4 is a long way off and im just placing ai. The guy that made the map im using seems to be updating it relatively often.

[chrome rampart]

Sounded like were doing a "big project".

[eternal bronze]

yessir i want long journeys and i dont wanna play dayz lol

[eternal bronze]

is it bad to have multiple ai groups under one layer?

[eternal bronze]

ambientpatrolspawn error code when switching spawn logic from auto to menu so i can use the respawn menu. But i dont have any ambientpatrolspawns in my world i dont understand. it respawns fine with auto logic.

do you have any videos on setting up the respawn menu. i watched your video for auto respawns.

[severe hollow]

Share the error

[void sparrow]

How can I detect a mortar projectile within a trigger area? I'm trying to create a mission where the player will operate a mortar based on coordinates given. Rather than require the player to kill AI that they can't see anyway, I just want them to hit within a general area to complete the task.

EDIT: In the tutorial they seem to do it by saving the distance between the shell and target every frame (see SCR_TutorialStageMortars_SecondTarget.c). When the shell disappears they interpret it as splash, and then use the last saved distance to determine either success or failure. I'm gonna try to see if I can perhaps do it with a OnDelete callback, instead of every frame.

EDIT 2: OnDelete seems to work. Gonna write my own mortar observation extension to Scenario Framework.

[severe hollow]

Did you make any modifications to a group prefab?

[wicked summit]

Not sure which channel to put this into but do you guys recommend using nitrado to run a server? If location matters in choosing this I am Southeastern US.

[severe hollow]

I recommend Bacon's servers

Nitrado is okay but kinda limited in some aspects

Bacon's on the other hand are basically designed with Reforger in mind

[wild trellis]

Nitrado I would avoid. There are a few mods that you won't be able to configure if you use them. They are cheap, yes, but they are literally the worst imho.

[wicked summit]

Is that officerbacon.org?

[severe hollow]

I don't think so but not sure. Send him a message he's here on discord. @gritty vortex

[wicked summit]

Private message or on here?

[severe hollow]

private message

[stuck hill]

plz..... help me

[chrome rampart]

Problem solved.

[wicked summit]

Im trying to add dependencies to my scenario I can't find the addons through the folders can I just put the GUID and it will add them?

[chrome rampart]

1. You have to add them to the project launcher first.
2. Then add them via options in the resource manager software

or

2. Add them by editing the addon.gproj

[wicked summit]

Thank you! Is it also recommended to add all addons to MyGames/ArmaReforgerWorkbench/addons?

[chrome rampart]

Up to you. Doesn't matter.

[wicked summit]

Awesome thanks.

[severe hollow]

Anyone know why the Debriefing Screen Component shows inaccurate stats? I can kill 100 AI and it’ll only report 6 kills...numbers are completely off.

[severe hollow]

Any idea what needs to be modified to allow full vehicle repairs without requiring proximity to a maintenance point?

[quiet plover]

Is it possible to make an ai group respawn?

[severe hollow]

what game mode are you using

[quiet plover]

I believe it's set up as conflict

I've workedout how to do the spawns and waypoints but can't find much on respawning stuff

[severe hollow]

I think ambient AI can respawn after a set amount of time after being killed

other type of AI can't respawn

[quiet plover]

Ahh yeah I have seen the option - Whenever I add an ambient AI spawn, they never seem to spawn in? Do I need to delete the already exsisting FIA ones first / up the limit?

[severe hollow]

Ambient AI only spawns when players are nearby

[quiet plover]

Yeah I have used GM to move my character nearer and they still dont spawn in I'm finding

[severe hollow]

have you tried without mods?

[quiet plover]

yep

all vanilla

[severe hollow]

how are you placing it in the world?

[quiet plover]

just dragging it from resource browser

[severe hollow]

have you enabled the AI flags in the config file?

[quiet plover]

yeah 😦

[severe hollow]

No idea then

lol

[quiet plover]

I'm stumped on it!!

I may just create a copy and then mess with it until it works 😦

[severe hollow]

is this new when trying to add a slot to a vehicle? don't remember seeing this before

[eternal bronze]

no modifications were made to any groups i even tested it on an empty everon world and had the same error
SCR_AmbientPatrolSystem'
Function: 'Get'
im either grabbing groups from the wrong place or i am missing a component or something.

[severe hollow]

I get the error too it's annoying and don't know how to properly fix it. I've asked around and no one seems to know. There's a workaround thouh... just place one ambient patrol and you won't get the error anymore

[eternal bronze]

really?

dope

thats all i needed to know thank you.

[severe hollow]

No problem. try and let me know if it worked!

[eternal bronze]

will do

i was at this all night XD tryna get this to work.. awesome works flawlessly now. didnt wanna throw it up on my server without a respawn menu.

[surreal parcel]

Does anybody have experience with troubleshooting this error? Not sure where to begin!

Seems I can join my scenario when localhosted, but when attempting to join on a dedicated server this error is thrown up

[chrome rampart]

Try and remove from the json

    "bindAddress": "",
    "bindPort": 0,
    "publicAddress": "",
    "publicPort": 0,

from the server. @surreal parcel

[trim furnace]

You could do it before but 1.3 bugged it out, looks like its fixed now

[eternal bronze]

@chrome rampart hey do you have any videos on creating a custom group? i was looking couldnt find any. I know how to customize a faction but i want to make a civilian group that i can throw in slotai if possible.

[chrome rampart]

I just duplicate a group, the edit by adding or removing what I what.

[surreal parcel]

Hey @chrome rampart thanks for the suggestion - Im afraid it doesnt seem to have worked on this occasion.

The server allows me in without issue using the same modset but on a different scenario - So would stand to reason the issue is with something in the scenario rather than the server config.

Just not sure where to begin attempting to identify what could be causing it! 😦

[chrome rampart]

Good troubleshooting.

[surreal parcel]

Thanks! Its a bit of a minefield 😂

Id like to get a better understanding of what Replication errors actually refer to, but cant seem to find any documentation on it anywhere. Perhaps I'm overlooking a BI Wiki entry on it somewhere? 🤔

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki?title=Arma_Reforger:Multiplayer_Scripting

This seems to be the best resource, but nothing specific about troubleshooting Rpl errors

[chrome rampart]

@surreal parcel Yea I think a good wiki on error msgs and what they mean would go along way. We get these cryptic msg's. Check the console and just repeats what is on the screen. Makes troubleshooting and solving problems a little tough. I was getting the exact same message as you but reason = 3, and removing the IP addressing solved. That's why I suggested that. They should be able and maybe they will when everything is complete with the engine come up with an error guide.

[distant basalt]

Modded server? A mod / the scenario you're using isn't properly set up for multiplayer / dedicated server

[stuck hill]

Hello everyone,

I hope someone will reply this time, as I'm sure many of you know the answer—I see this feature on almost every server.

I'd like to set up a safe zone in both of my mobile bases where players cannot shoot their weapons or use explosives. I want to make sure no damage can be dealt to teammates while inside these mobile bases.

Is there a way to disable weapon and explosive usage in specific areas like this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

[distant basalt]

Look up Zelik's Zones mod

I'm not sure if it provides weapon lock out of the box but it gives you a safezone prefab that prevents character damage which would be a starting point for you

[stuck hill]

"Thanks for your reply, I'll go check it out :)"

Let me know if you want to make it more formal or detailed.

[quiet plover]

Hello, this was an easy fix! Just recreated the scenario from scratch, prayed a little, and my patrols are now mysteriously spawning in 🙂

Now, how do I get them to follow waypoints 😄 I can see the waypoints and add them, but the AI won't follow them! I know you can select and assign waypoints for standard groups, no idea how this works (or if its even possible) for the ambient patrols.

Long story short I am trying to make a "wave" of attackers that respawns every xyz minutes....

[wild trellis]

Just look at how they are used in conflict game mode in the world editor. For your waves, look at how they set up the patrols for supply depots.

[quiet plover]

Hi Gramps! Yeah I have done this, I think - loaded up a conflict world and looked at the ambient FIA patrols. I can see the spawn for the patrol, and the nested waypoints, but no sign of those waypoints being assigned to that group...

I did copy and paste one of these ambient patrols + the waypoints directly into my scenario (also on conflict mode). AI spawn in, but do not follow the waypoints and instead just hang around where they spawned (in GM it does say they're following orders though, if that means anything at all)

[wild trellis]

That could be a navmesh issue then. Simply adding waypoints as children of the spawnpoint assigns them to the group that is spawned. I would also check your logs for related error messages.

I'm guessing you're not using everon

[distant basalt]

The Ambient patrols mostly use the hierarchy waypoints which automatically assigns the waypoints to the group when you make the waypoint a child of the AIGroup

[quiet plover]

Wait, so, I need the Heirarchy ones?!?!?!? Preparing to kick myself upon response

[distant basalt]

Yeah the waypoints suffixed with Hierarchy should auto assign to their parent AI group

I haven't looked much deeper into AI waypoints yet and am not sure how the rest of them get assigned, but that Conflict setup with hierarchy waypoints as children of the AIGroup works for me

[quiet plover]

....I'll give this a shot after work - I'm guessing it'll just be in order of numbers? I.e. patrol1, then patrol2, then patrol3, and so on? (Forgot the actual name of the waypoints but you get the idea)

[distant basalt]

Yeah I think they're activated based on their order in WB though I haven't tested that, it might just select a random one

[quiet plover]

Hmmm well I will report back with my findings tonight! Thank you for your help 🙂

[wicked summit]

Hey everyone, so I’m having an issue with any ai spawning at my OPFOR CP Tent on the left side of the picture. To the right is the BLUFOR HQ. I was wondering if the HQ is the reason they’re not spawning because it’s too close? If that is the reason is there a fix?

[distant basalt]

Yeah IIRC vanilla Conflict logic won't assign HQs that are too close together. If you search the military base classes for "distance" the check should come up

[wicked summit]

So search the ConflictMilitaryBase.et components? or one of the manager components?

[quiet plover]

I return, the ai are still just standing there 😦

[wicked summit]

Can you move objects in a modded map?

[timid dagger]

i believe there is a way

but you basically have to copy the map to a new mod essentially

create a sub world, copy everything over, edit save.

or contact the map maker to pitch changes

I have a question though for everyone, has anyone had issues with any assetts from "AssetsbyHeine" I am using the container boats but they don't seem to be solid? like props fall through the decks, and you can shoot through them

oh i think i figured it out

rigidbody

i guess another question is can i scale objects

to make them bigger

like static props

scale

right sorry for train of thought

[eternal bronze]

does anyone know if its ok to have 20 or more world layers or is it better to organize by area? wondering if it matters at all performance wise.

[severe hollow]

It's up to you. It doesn't have an effect on performance as far as I know.

[indigo marlin]

I have plenty of layers. I found it better to use folders and then layers inside the folders.

[wicked summit]

Can anyone tell me how to spawn vehicles with troops operating them? Cant find any videos.

[chrome rampart]

Let us know if you find a solution that works. I've tried 6 ways to Sunday. Can't get it to work.

[wicked summit]

So do you typically just set a get In waypoint?

[severe hollow]

That's how I do it.

If I just want armed vehicles defending certain areas I just spawn the vehicle and a sentry team (which are 2 characters) and change the default defend waypoint for a get in nearest. They will automatically get in

[wicked summit]

Do they typically stay in the vehicle once they are engaged?

[severe hollow]

If you use this method yes they usually stay in the vehicle.

[wicked summit]

Awesome thanks will definitely try this out

[severe hollow]

Bacon recently released a Robot mod and you can spawn vehicles (his own models) that come with AI inside. Might be scripted? I'll check out his mod in the workbench to see what I can learn

[gritty vortex]

I scripted a component that automatically spawns crew always imitating what it would do when you press B in game master

[chrome rampart]

https://youtu.be/XMXBafTKoxg

[wicked summit]

Do you use Area -> Layer -> slot for this?

and in slot put the vehicle?

[severe hollow]

Yes. I put both the AI and the vehicle inside a layer so I can just duplicate it and fill a place with manned vehicles.

I change the default spawn waypoint from defend to GetInNearest

They will just stay there inside the vechile and will attack any enemies using the vehicle guns if it has any

[wicked summit]

Okay awesome

[severe hollow]

and they will move a bit, but not too much. they can move back and forth 50m or maybe a bit more

I mean, the vehicle will move. if that makes sense

lol

[severe hollow]

This is great

[wicked summit]

Worked great thank you!

[wicked summit]

Do you need to have a Control HQ for OPFOR on Conflict Game Mode? At first it was fine but for some reason now its becoming a spawn point from time to time, but if I unmark it as an HQ I can't spawn at my main base.

Also I disabled the spawnpoints at the Control HQ but it still pops up as a spawnpoint.

[severe hollow]

Yes there needs to be 1 HQ for each faction even if it's PVE.

I'd recommend you to watch this youtube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1S22Yw_fsw

[wicked summit]

Ya I watched all of them they are great. Must be something on my side I'll have to look through the components.

[silk sigil]

how can we change the AI name tag show distance? and any idea on showing AI groups on map?

[slim pond]

Are there any tutorials out there for making an AAS scenario? I'm so lost

[distant basalt]

In Conflict each participating faction needs to have a HQ otherwise they will not be able to capture anything, since to control Conflict bases they need to be connected to your HQ radio network. I'm not sure what you mean by if you unmark it as HQ you can't spawn at your main base - the HQ is the faction's main base which is why it becomes a spawn point, if you have two separate bases it sounds like you need to delete/unmark the current HQ one and make your main base a HQ

[distant basalt]

Look up "Conflict RAAS System" mod by Sir.Ironbeard

[slim pond]

Thank you! It looks like the WCS core whitelist method is going to work for what I wanted.

[pale socket]

am i missing something, some maps i can make a conflict scenario for and Gamemaster works on but the map i made doesnt let me use game master for some reason?

[warm crow]

Any news on this? Would like to be able to rearm/repair vehicles in SF from helipad.

[severe hollow]

You can manually add the components to SF

[eternal bronze]

is there no way to use the FIA arsenal using factionmanager_USxUSSR ?

[severe hollow]

apparently not. is there a reason in particular why you are using FactiongManager_USxUSSR?

[distant basalt]

Arsenal items are read from the entity catalog associated with the faction that arsenal is assigned to, if your faction manager doesn't have FIA then it won't be able to look up FIA entity catalogs

[eternal bronze]

its just the one i went with is there a better one?

[severe hollow]

FactionManager Editor has all of the factions

[eternal bronze]

are the ranks already set up and everything?

[severe hollow]

That... I don't really know. I don't usually do conflict modes so I've never checked.

[eternal bronze]

not doing conflict just ops ai spawn everywhere but i want access to all the arsenals.

[severe hollow]

Try FactionManager_Editor see if that works for you

[eternal bronze]

will do thank you

[eternal bronze]

i couldnt stop myself lol

this is gonna be so fun to fight in but so sad to loose in an update XD

[alpine sinew]

can someone help me with the arma reforger tool bc i watched every video i can and still cant fidn out whats happing to me

Every time I save the world editor and reload into it to make sure everything's saved nothing is there and when trying to save it to its own folder it does the same thing

[wicked summit]

Im doing a middle eastern scenario and was wondering how to change the names of the AI to fit the region if possible.

[digital creek]

It's in the faction manager / faction config

[wicked summit]

Is it under Callsigns?

[digital creek]

Faction > Identify of Soldiers > Social Identity > Names Config

[wicked summit]

got it thanks!

[wicked summit]

Anyone know any videos about changing the voices of the AI? I want them to speak Arabic.

[pale socket]

try asking in #enfusion_ai or #enfusion_audio

[wicked summit]

So I'm still having this issue where my OPFOR control HQ and my BLUFOR HQ keep swapping as the initial spawn point when joining the scenario. Is this common or is there a way where every time you start the scenario it only shows the BLUFOR HQ and doesn't switch back and forth between the two?

[warm crow]

Thanks. I will take a look

[severe hollow]

This isn’t normal behavior. As long as one HQ is assigned to the US and the other to the USSR, only the correct HQ should be available to each faction.

[wicked summit]

Ya I double checked my faction affiliations and they all appear to be set.

Does the control point need to be within/connected to a certain area or CP of something else or can I have it anywhere on the map?

[severe hollow]

well at least one control point needs to be within reach of the HQ radio signal otherwise you won't be able to capture anything, but not sure if it has anything to do with your issue. Like I said before I don't really do much conflict modes so let's hope someone with more experience chimes in

[violet obsidian]

Hi, I'm trying to get my custom units in a custom faction playable in game master mode. I've managed to get the soldiers to be placed using the faction and modded filter. But when I place them they don't seem to have a faction and won't attack eachother. I have made faction configs, added the factions to the faction manager. Added the characters to the faction configs. I have no clue what to do now. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

[silk sigil]

try set their faction static. Set HQ1 and HQ2 US and HQ3 USSR. Then the blue player will only get HQ1/HQ2 as their MOB.

[wicked summit]

How do I set it to static?

[wicked summit]

Do I disable SCR_FactionAffiliationComponent?

[silk sigil]

no. just set US and USSR inside.

[wicked summit]

Ya I did that its still doing it.

[silk sigil]

that is very strange🐸

[wicked summit]

Ya I've messed with all the components doesn't seem to change anything I am using FIA not sure if that could be a factor. But just wanted to see if anyone knew.

[silk sigil]

nope. FIA is not calculated in HQ select.

so even you are making a PVE conflict scenario, You still need a "USSR" HQ and it will not be selected by blue if you set the faction static.

you can put the USSR HQ on sea.

[wicked summit]

I'm confused sorry. Do I need to make a USSR HQ even though Im using FIA? Right now I have USSR as Non-Playable.

[silk sigil]

Yeah. When making PVE conflict, you need to place at least 1 USSR HQ (set unplayable) and 1 US HQ. Then you can put FIA ambient patrols in other locations for counter attack and defending. FIA can not be playable in current version I think.

[wicked summit]

I uploaded my world to workshop but when I load in I cant go into game master. Any tips?

Also my ambient patrols dont appear to spawn in.

[silk sigil]

workshop link?

[silk sigil]

ambient patrol has spawn distance. Default is near 1km

[wicked summit]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/65474763821720D8-506KhunarPvETEST1

Where do I change that setting for the ambient patrols?

[silk sigil]

its component

[silk sigil]

if you wanna use GM, you may need to load the scenario in a server instead of the game

for PVE scenario, I think Gramps PVE mod can always be a good start point

[wicked summit]

Gotcha thanks! For the ambient patrols Im not seeing anything related to distance. I see AI limit threshold and respawn period.

All my slotai spawn

[silk sigil]

it is write in scripts. Slot is different since it is SF things and has its own dynamic despawn settings.

You maybe also add Gramps PVE mod as dependency as other conflict PVE author dose

He has some really nice modifications to the ambient patrol and campaign game mode.

[wicked summit]

I am within 1km shouldnt they spawn?

[silk sigil]

if things go right, then yes.

[wicked summit]

I downloaded gramps AILimitFix mod and made it a dependency then republished but they still dont seem to spawn in.

Do I need to change my AI Limits under SCR_AIWorld?

[silk sigil]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/61B514B96692C049-ConflictPVERemixedVanilla2.0

you can find tutorials in his mod

[wicked summit]

So do I add that to my scenario or just open it to look at it to see how to do it?

[timid dagger]

I am curious about this as well, as it lists his conflict scenario as a dependency

[alpine sinew]

can someone help me with the arma reforger tool bc i watched every video i can and still cant fidn out whats happing to me. Every time I save the world editor and reload into it to make sure everything's saved nothing is there and when trying to save it to its own folder it does the same thing

[wild trellis]

the changes in that mod are already included in my scenario mod so theres no need to run it if using my scenario.

[wicked summit]

So im trying to run my own scenario with the taliban as FIA. I downloaded your AILimitFix because my ambient patrols don’t spawn in once I start my scenario in game and I figured it was due to ai limit. But I added it and it didn’t change anything is there something else I need to do?

[faint dove]

How do I replace a faction in an existing map/scenario with a modded one like from RHS Status Quo?

I'm using the Frontline gamemode and want to replace the Soviets with modern Russians

[severe hollow]

you can use Modern Rus mod or similar to do that

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/629543EC64631D3D-ModernRUS

[faint dove]

Ooh okay

I'll try this

Is there also a US?

[severe hollow]

I'll check, not sure if there is one that uses RHS outfits.
Thanks for trying Frontline btw!

[faint dove]

Awesome, thanks! The mods that add it to the vanila US arsenal are okay, but the default loadout is usually the cold war outfits

ANd no problem! My friend and I are really enjoying it, it's really well made.

[eternal bronze]

is there a way to set up empty supply caches?

[gritty vortex]

When you guys test your missions on everon how do you make it load faster? I can make and eat dinner in the time it takes it to recompile scripts

[severe hollow]

The answer is I try to avoid doing scenarios on Everon, my potato PC takes three business days to load it up

[gritty vortex]

Fair

[fleet dune]

Is there any way to make the AI ​​spawn on a user-defined building? For example, I'm currently building a bunker system that's accessible via teleport, but the AI ​​keeps falling through every floor. Is there any way to get around this?

[distant basalt]

everon itself loads within like 5-10sec for me, what makes starting testing take forever is spawning AI will usually tank FPS for a good 30-60sec depending on hardware and how many AI you spawn, so I usually set AI limit in SCR_AIWorld to something low like 128-256

[gritty vortex]

I could just disable some layers but everon is not layered

[distant basalt]

I haven't found any way to prevent it directly, it seems AI in general get snapped to terrain when they spawn whether via GM mode or ambient patrols. Work-around I've been going with is to just move all of the AI spawns away from non-terrain meshes, and give them a waypoint to move on top of whatever mesh I want them positioned on, this works ok, currently I have a few AI recon squads defending a few rooftops across the map

if they still fall through the floor when they try to go to the waypoint you place on your building then it might be a collision or navmesh issue with the building

this issue is most apparent if you try spawning AI in the upper areas of Montfort castle, they'll spawn stuck on the flat terrain underneath the "cliff" meshes the castle is built on

[chrome rampart]

IMHO... For user-defined buildings, if you mean buildings added to the original world, have you tried to add it to the navmesh? If the building is not added to the navmesh then the AI doesn't know it exists.

Using SF I don't have an issue spawning AI on top of buildings. And there is a check box to "Ignore Orient Children to Terrain". Considering SF pulls most of it's catagories from regular entities/scripts etc. I would look at this for a possible solution.
@fleet dune

[distant basalt]

Pasha was the one trying to spawn stuff on custom buildings, I thought I'd just share a work around for what seems like a similar or the same issue I had with AI spawning inside vanilla non-terrain meshes

[chrome rampart]

Yea sorry wrong reply. He is right above.

[eternal bronze]

can i not use dynamic despawn with slotdestroy and slotkill without the icon dissapearing from the map due to the despawns proximity? i just want the ai to despawn not the mission marker.

[severe hollow]

put the AI on an different Area?

[eternal bronze]

elaborate?

lol

i tried just activating dynamic despawn on just the slot but the prefabs wont even appear that way.

[severe hollow]

If you only want AI to be affected by Dynamic Despawn, place them inside a separate Area where Dynamic Despawn is enabled. Keep your tasks and other gameplay elements in a different Area where Dynamic Despawn is turned off.

That, or check "Exclude from Dynamic Despawn" on everything except the AI but that is more work and unnecessary.

[severe hollow]

Dynamic Despawn only works on Area level, not Layer or Slot as far as I know

[severe hollow]

meaning... If you enable Dynamic Despawn on the Area, everything under it will be affected by it (Layers and Slots) Unless excluded from DD. But that's not the same for Layers and Slots. you can't activate DD on a Layer only expecting only the layer to be affected by DD. kinda confusing but I hope I explained myself clearly

[eternal bronze]

your saying slide the slotdestroy into a different area layer with dynamic turned on?

[severe hollow]

Yeah.. something like this

is also better for keeping everything organized

and of course under the AI world layer you need an AREA for every place in the world where you want the AI spawn dynamically

[eternal bronze]

yes i know this

i understand that part pretty well now lol but ive been organizing by map location which has resulted in to many world layers lol.

[severe hollow]

Well you could also do this if you don't wanna add more world layers. the important thing is to keep elements separated by AREAS if you want to use Dynamic Despawn

[eternal bronze]

like what im wanting to know is how in a slotdestroy or slotkill how to get prefab contained to despawn when im away but not the map marker itself. im wanting to save budget im trying to avoid leaving them in.

[severe hollow]

What happens if you check excluded from dynamic despawn on the slot?

[eternal bronze]

ahh i see

so the map marker will be excluded thank you.

you are very helpful.

[severe hollow]

no, sorry, not the slot, the layertask I meant. but not sure if it will work since the slot is a children of that layer

[eternal bronze]

yeah yeah i got that

[severe hollow]

but try and let me know how it went

[eternal bronze]

your good

[severe hollow]

if nothing works you can always add a custom map marker on that location

it won't be the same but at least players will know where to go

[eternal bronze]

is the standard just to leave them in?

[severe hollow]

Well yeah i mean it's not like you have to dynamically spawn all of the AI in the map. some AI can be in the world is not a problem. as long as it's not a lot of AI at once I don't see an issue

[eternal bronze]

yeah i get what your saying im doing all of takistan in some areas more than one spawn radius meets and the budget gets pretty high.

[severe hollow]

Use Dynamic Spawn whenever you can. if you can't use it on a SlotTask I don't think it's a huge issue just to leave them in

[eternal bronze]

using it for all of the ai and vehicles i assumed itd be the same for the layertasks but a few percent wont hurt i suppose.

i was tryna share the workshop link but it wont let me. im calling it takistan ops lol

layers are getting crazy

I just feel like its easier to recover divided down like this. but i could be very wrong lol ive already broken the world once and had to copy and paste my layers and i lost all the area layer renaming i had done, thats why im doing it this way.

[chrome rampart]

Pro-tip from a non-professional...

why don't you just copy the world layers from windows file explorer? You won't lose any naming that way.

And if you put any manager in it's own layer you can edit directly in an editor.

[chrome rampart]

That is incorrect. You can use Dynamic Spawn/Despawn on layers. Just not slots.

[severe hollow]

thanks for the correction

[timid dagger]

Hey guys, how do I edit forest generators? I've duplicated the .et files but I still cannot edit them.

[warm crow]

I am not home at the moment, so I can't check. Where do I turn off the squad leader markers for on the map?.

[eternal bronze]

good to know to know appreciate it.

[chrome rampart]

MapMarkerSquadLeader.layout

[warm crow]

Thanks

[eternal bronze]

any videos on slotcleararea? or does anyone know how to adjust the radius?

nvm found it

[wicked summit]

Does anyone know if you’re able to change the vehicles that spawn in with ConflictMilitaryBase.et?

[distant basalt]

I believe they will be based on the Starting Vehicles defined near the bottom of the owning faction's config in SCR_CampaignFactionManager

[eternal bronze]

is it the same with slotcleararea you have to leave them in? The dynamic despawn triggers objective complete when you leave the area even though you havent killed them. If so i guess i could leave one in somewhere.

[severe hollow]

Yeah there needs to be enemies inside the area otherwise it will complete the task

[eternal bronze]

how do you make them not move from a position aiwaypoint_wait?

[severe hollow]

If you are using dynamic despawn I recommend you leave at least 2 AI. When you leave one sometimes something happens and he dies and the mission autocompletes

[eternal bronze]

gotcha

[severe hollow]

Override the wapoint move prefab and set the complete radius to 1 or similar

if you want them to just stay still

[eternal bronze]

awesome thank you.

[severe hollow]

also set the priority to a high number so they will not stop following the order. and of course only use this waypoint with the one or two AIs not all of them

Actually in this case don't override the prebab, just duplicate it and name it something else

"Waypoint_Don'tMove" or something

[eternal bronze]

lol what would be considered a high number?

i put it at 1000.

[severe hollow]

yeah that's fine. For example the waypoint "forced move" is just a move waypoint modified with priority set to 2000

[eternal bronze]

for some reason placing the no despawn ai in the slotcleararea bubble is causing the marker to dissapear from the map.

[faint dove]

Looks like this mod is pretty straightforward and just overwrites the original faction characters.

I might do the same thing with the US.

[grand arch]

I'm trying to rebuild a custom CTI Campaign using all the vanilla stuff.
Somehow it feels like i'm still missing something...
All the menu stuff works and i can play however i'm not sure if the tasks need any additional stuff like triggers?
Here is what i have so far:

Does it even work with pre-placed A.I. or do i have to use the Ambient stuff to spawn them?

[grand arch]

Nevermind its working...

[distant basalt]

Yeah if you started by duplicating one of the existing Conflict worlds it should have all the managers etc needed for everything to work

and any AI prefabs should work, the ambient patrols are just really easy to set up for some group type randomization and using the heirarchy waypoints

oh and the other thing ambientpatrols makes easy is performance, it automatically handles only activating AI when players are close enough to be relevant and not spawning over AI limit, if you have a world filled with directly placed AIs they might all get activated/simulated at once

[grand arch]

Thank you. 👍
Yeah i was somehow expecting to get xp for each enemy kill but i had to kill some ( 10+ ) to get xp.
That's why i thought i may missed something. 🙂

[small ingot]

Sorry for late replay, here are the settings. I have played around with a bunch of settings and have not been able to get the timer and notification in the upper left corner to show up. The pop up notification works though. I have the area and layer setup how blackheart has it in his OnActiviation video.

[uncut socket]

Hey anyone knows what could be problem with my scenario, using WCS_Core to whitelist bases, radio range is set to 10k from scr_coverageradiocomponent and base has been whitelisted, but cant cap it. It shows on map as cappable but nothing happens when you try to cap it

[eternal bronze]

still cant get keep the cleararea from dissappearing. anytime i put a non despawning ai in the area the map marker dissappears in game.

[eternal bronze]

you have any videos on slotcleararea?

[heady vortex]

Hi, I wanted to repeat the cinematics from the video with the APC, I did everything one-on-one as in the video, but when I click the preview, the APC starts but does not go anywhere, can anyone tell me what the problem is?

[void sparrow]

How can I make an AI visible at ~1km? I tried the DisableLOD AI action, but as I understand this only affects behavior.

[hollow snow]

Tell the plugin which faction. No harm in setting an asset faction key from obj props but that plugin needs more info from you

[warm void]

I have the same problem with my custom map, can someone tell me whats wrong? Thanks in advance

[chrome rampart]

Whats the problem?

[chrome rampart]

You have to enter the faction in the plugin, "Activated by this faction" or it could be a bug.

What faction is the player playing?

[chrome rampart]

You have to put faction in activated by this faction.

[hollow snow]

So you have Layertask so treat is as a layer in itself its in the name and this layertask is NOT in an area with DD just an area think of its own or as a container where u will place that layertask anywhere in the gameworld at any graphical location doesnt matter.place one opposing Ai using a slotai just one placed in that layertask so it does not complete on its own now u have a clear area with one Ai all your other Ai are gonna come from a DD area that you will place at the same location in the gameworld and so play around with the plugin here its a dominance trigger(set your area radius) so think about that too when players activate that DD area you have placed around your layertask clear area to simulate more opposing Ai to clear that area

[chrome rampart]

Pro-tip from a non-professional...
You must put the faction that will activate the plugin, regardless of what faction the player is.

This is something folks don't get, a layer task is a layer. And a slotanything is still a slot. SlotMarker can be manipulated to be a slot trigger if you do it right. As long as you follow Area > Layer > Slot basic hierarchy structure.

[wicked summit]

So I was using the taliban mod to make my FIA faction which it did automatically. The mod has now been banned on workshop. So I’m wondering if I remove the mod as a dependency will that automatically revert my FIA faction to its original characters? Also will it keep all of the stuff I’ve placed for the FIA? (ambient patrols, slotai, etc)

[hollow snow]

#general_chat_arma message You may have some cleaning up to do best of luck👍🏻

[distant basalt]

If you're using ambient patrols, you'll need to override SCR_AmbientPatrolComponent

If you open the class you'll see some constant properties you can override to change the range they spawn/despawn at

[distant basalt]

Yes Enfusion seems to usually handle removing pure override dependencies pretty well. If you didn't have any overrides or custom stuff specific to the mod in question then removing dependency should just revert everything it touched cleanly

[void sparrow]

I know they are spawned since I can see the effects of them shooting (their default waypoint is to suppress a building). They just aren't being rendered at distance.

[severe hollow]

You can increase the view distance directly from your server config other than that I don't know how to to it in the workbench. There's a mod called 25,000km view distance or similar you could use it or check it out in the workbench to see how it works.

[void sparrow]

I can increase view distance, but that doesn't help with the characters. It seems their max render distance is around 1.2km after a bit of testing. For my scenario I was wanted the player to spot them at 2km. (The 1km I wrote earlier was wrong).

[severe hollow]

Alright gotcha

[wicked summit]

So I removed the taliban mod dependency from my workbench project and reuploaded the scenario to the workshop but it still has the taliban mod as a dependency on the workshop? Any tips?

[severe hollow]

Huh? How did you remove it?

[wicked summit]

Went into my workbench options and removed it from my dependency list.

[chrome rampart]

any other mods require it?
Open the addon.gproj for your scenario and check there.

[wicked summit]

No, its also not adding the new mods I made as dependencies.

[severe hollow]

Just to be sure... You restarted the workbench after removing and adding the mods?

[wicked summit]

yes

[severe hollow]

The only reason I can think of for new dependencies not showing is that they require other dependencies to work. But not sure about why removing a mod still makes it show up in workbench. Maybe another mod has it as dependency?

Do as @chrome rampart recommended and open the gproj file in the windows folder of your project. You can see which dependencies you have there just take note of the taliban mod GUID so you can check

[void sparrow]

How can I make AI doing animation waypoint ignore everything else? He keeps cancelling animation and reacting to incoming shots. I've tried "Priority Level"=2000 and "Perception Factor"=0 but didn't work. Also tried a custom AI action that calls AIAgent.DeactivateAI(), but then he doesn't even do animation.

[severe hollow]

You should ask in #enfusion_ai

[chrome rampart]

If you are using scenario framework, try using a slot.et instead of a slotAI.et.

[void sparrow]

How can I make a slot.et character play animation?

[chrome rampart]

IDK. Try to add animation via onInit. @void sparrow
It may be bridge to far unless you script something. There are limitations what you can do and not do. Animations I think are different from reactions. Reactions are behaviors.

[wicked summit]

For control HQs in conflict scenario does it matter if they are set to FIA or USSR? My control FIA HQ continues to pop up on my spawn screen as an HQ instead of my BLUFOR HQ when you start the scenario. When it does work and the BLUFOR HQ is the original spawnpoint my Control HQ will sometimes be FIA or USSR. I have all my faction keys set.

@chrome rampart Hey mate, I sent you a DM

[small ingot]

Just did that, the countdown timer UI still does not show up. I am thinking it may be something with the game mode.

[small ingot]

^^

I have to player trigger setup to spawn a vehicle in after 5 seconds. This part of it works. It is jut strange that the timer UI does not show up at all. I have the notifications manger component in my game mode as well.

[past scroll]

I must have missed something, I removed the relay tent and I can still see it and build it. Should replace it with another object?

[chrome rampart]

you have to override the entity. Right click, override. Then "edit the prefab" on the overridden prefab. That one is locked.

[chrome rampart]

what game mode are you using?

[past scroll]

Mode conflict

[chrome rampart]

Yea. Scenario framework components work with gamemodeSF.

[small ingot]

Overthrow. So, it has its own notifications system, but I added the vanilla one to the game mode and the notification sender component as well.

[chrome rampart]

Why is homer answering for you. Guys I am fucking old. DON'T DO THAT! LOL! J/K

@small ingot All bets off then on why it doesn't work. Once you throw in the Overthrow mod.
It works with gamemodeSF as stated above.

[small ingot]

Copy. I’ll prob have to look into the custom plugins, maybe write a script. Thanks for the help tho. Everything else worked like a charm.

[thorny swift]

Newbie here... I've created a project with a subscene of Everon and added GameMode_Base1, FactionManager_FFA, SpawnPoint_FFA, and LoadoutManager_FFA. Everything works well in game however, when I click 'Quit to main menu' then Confirm, nothing happens. Have I missconfigured something or missing something?

[chrome rampart]

So you've published to the workshop, correct? What is the name of the mod?

Or

Are you in Enfusion Resource Manager software, playing the scenario from there?

[thorny swift]

Published to the workshop under G15 Island

[chrome rampart]

ok. Let me look at it.

[thorny swift]

It's a test mod

Thanks

[chrome rampart]

ok, I can confirm the issue. I get the same thing. I've never seen that before. Sooooooo where to start...

Go to the console log. And find where you join the scenario.

17:58:48.152 NETWORK      : ### Creating player: PlayerId=1, Name=Blackheart_Six

Review down from there and find any errors...

[thorny swift]

Ok I will do that, as soon as I can get Enfusion Workshop working again. Thanks again @chrome rampart

[chrome rampart]

LOL! Ok. I noticed in your post above you said you use gamemode_base. that is a no no if you did.

GameMode_Plain.et should be used.

[thorny swift]

That will probably be the issue lol

[chrome rampart]

maybe.

[slim pond]

Hey guys. Have an AAS scenario running on a server and just realized the command truck allows players to capture bases past the current objective. I have all the bases whitelisted to each other. How can I disable the mcu from allowing extended captures but keep it as a mobile spawn unit only? Thanks

[gritty vortex]

Is that an official/vanilla scenario? If not then better asking the dudes that made it

[carmine lotus]

Making a Conflict Scenario but re-working the RHS Conflict scenario... Anyone know why Im getting "Faction Currently has no spawn points" and how to correct that?

[median sinew]

im trying to edit a map and make a conflict scenario, i used the plugin to create the scenario. how do i add Game Master to the game?

[magic ledge]

I don't have the code at hand but search for spawn within their mod, it should have two which you can override and modify

[marsh fog]

anyone knows how to change the supply storage capacity of structures/vehicles?

[narrow latch]

im having trouble getting any AI to follow any waypoints using scenario framework?

followed a video tutorial almost 1:1 and no dice

[chrome rampart]

Can you put the Area/Layer/Slots in one world layer and zip it up, paste it here? I don't need the entire scenario just the portions of the patrol?

[narrow latch]

Im thinking my issue is having not correctly doing something with the nav mesh?

I just tested by going into play mode, game master and giving a objective to some AI

just stand still

[chrome rampart]

Normally if the navmesh is missing they all start walking towards 0,0,0 point in the world.

[narrow latch]

they do start moving if something triggers them

[chrome rampart]

That is behavior not navmesh

[narrow latch]

hmm so the navmesh file slot in the component was missing, I put in the arland navmesh, they still don't move

atm im not testing waypoints just if I can get them to move with gm

[chrome rampart]

You have to put 3 .nmn files in the navmesh

One for soldiers, Vehicles, and Low Res

[narrow latch]

[chrome rampart]

I take it they are working now? Curious what video did you watch?

[narrow latch]

oh the videos I was watching were just waypoint stuff, didn't even mention the nav mesh stuff

[chrome rampart]

Blackheart Six?

[narrow latch]

uuuh, I did get to him but I just started with the scenario framework stuff on the wiki which didn't mention the navmesh stuff

[chrome rampart]

ok, I'm Blackheart_Six.

[narrow latch]

[chrome rampart]

The navmesh is under the prerequisites I believe but I might redo the waypoint videos

[narrow latch]

yeah, I suck at learning anything lol, I kinda just go at stuff until I run into a problem, google that problem, but since my issue actually had nothing to do with setting up way points correctly or not, I didn't think it was a nav mesh issue until I tried giving objectives to AI using game master

[chrome rampart]

The AI should move to the waypoint regardless of GM.

If you have everything setup correctly, IE AIWorld, Area/Layer and slots, waypoints they should start moving right away.

[narrow latch]

yeah, but my nav mesh shit wasn't set up at all which is why the AI wasn't moving whether it was game master or way points

yeah just tested with waypoints again, it all works

thank ye

is there a way to copy and paste things without it leaving the layer i've put it in?

this is awesome everything now works as intended

[chrome rampart]

You can Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V any entity. You can copy and paste the world layers from the windows file explorer as well. And if you copying between 2 like world, copy and paste same position.

[narrow latch]

now I just need to figure out how to get a deliverable intel item to spawn on an AI

can only get it to spawn in the world

[chrome rampart]

You mean add intel folder to the AI inventory?

Use an action.

[narrow latch]

yeah, I can get a intel folder to spawn onto an AI, but I dunno how to add it to one that's spawned through "SlotAI"

[chrome rampart]

Use an action.

[narrow latch]

how would I go about creating an action that starts on scenario initiation?

[chrome rampart]

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLACt0Y23f-93-CqGDtYfM-CEukac-bnVl&si=Co9-g4zX3jk2tUqk

[narrow latch]

oh I see a OnInit category on the slot ai

I got my intel prefab to spawn on the guy

now I gotta figure out how to tie that to the deliver task

oh wait, I can skip a whole step if I can make it an objective to steal an vehicle

alright I can't tie the deliver objective to a vehicle , but I can probably hide that behind tricking the player

[chrome rampart]

So you can't use a vehicle on the slotPick.et?

[narrow latch]

I can, but it can't be delivered I dont think

[severe hollow]

But also you can't really "pick" a vechile no?

[narrow latch]

it'll spawn a vehicle

but the deliver expects an inventory item I think

new problem now, I can't figure out sequential tasks

I assume something here does it D=

but the wiki mentions a logic counter and now im even more confused

figured it out, im dumb

[narrow latch]

alright so I have several problems

with the current set up, I start the game and just spawn, there's no loadout selection

also arsenal boxes won't give me anything and require supplies? and I dunno how to turn the supply features off

[chrome rampart]

turn off required resources in the root gamemode.

[narrow latch]

whats the root game mode component?

oh I see something called disabled resource types

that did it

[chrome rampart]

Change the class spawn logic to menuspawn.

[narrow latch]

I see that, not seeing the option to change it though D=

[chrome rampart]

right click and select change class

[narrow latch]

do you have video's in a sequential order that make sense for learning from scratch? Im probably doing it the dumb way by skipping straight into just things I wanna do

[chrome rampart]

I would start here first for the very basics.
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Scenario_Framework_Setup_Tutorial

[narrow latch]

das where I started

[chrome rampart]

Then move to here.
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Scenario_Framework
Prereqs and basics

[narrow latch]

I also moved to that, and das where I got stuck

[chrome rampart]

Between that and this channel you should be able to get through most things you want to do. It's just a matter learning what is possible and planning. There is no 1,2,3, etc.

https://youtube.com/@blackheart_six?si=-aBomIBIKe3fzc53

There are lots of youtube channels covering a wide range of topics. Of course the bootcamp videos should be considered the gold standard.

I would stay away from content that is more than year old or too old for the current version. Lots of that exists.

https://youtube.com/@tpmtactical?si=2BgRhMgIy0HFh-2U

Another good resource.

[narrow latch]

[steel field]

If I wanted to place a static sized shape on the map, would I need to do that on a topo layer? Like imagine a circle that has a defined size on the map. I found that the player markers always want to resize/scale as you zoom in/out.

[chrome rampart]

It really depends on what the object is your are to placing. So is the image made into a prefab? Or is it just part of an imageset. I haven't explored this yet. I want to place area markers like Arma 3 but that mechanism doesn't exist yet in the resource manager to do it easily.

[steel field]

I don't have much experience with Arma 3, so not sure on the reference point there but it sounds like it could be similar. Not looking to place anything crazy, just a square or circle that is static on the map.

A default or custom imageset could be used. It really doesn't matter to me what exactly it looks like so long as it stays at the same size. The attachment illustrates my problem where if I use a map marker, it will always do some level of scaling. I want to set an exclusion zone so that it always encompases the same area on the map visually, no matter the zoom level

[chrome rampart]

Not sure if anything will stay the same size when shown on a map. Even terrain objects like roads and buildings change size when zoomed in/out.

I guess they do scale but your circle gets bigger as you zoom out.

So I think it has to be added to the map to remain the same size but that is built into the world.

Someone did some crazy area markers in their scenario, trying to remember which one. Maybe someone here will remember it.

Just in Time has area markers I know that.

[steel field]

Thanks, let me take a look into that. But yea I'm really not trying to do anything too crazy. I might even be find just replicating the "pen/pencil" marker system which do stay the same size

[chrome rampart]

Nice. Have to look at that as well. I am going to start getting into imagesets and markers soon.

[steel field]

It was surprisingly easy to get the imageset/marker working. So you should be able to move pretty quickly on that. Unless you're trying to do what i'm doing lol....then it appears to be much harder than expected

[steel field]

Oh that marker in there seems to behave like I'm aiming for. May need to ask them for more details

[chrome rampart]

Yea I am sure they will help you out. Or reverse engineer it. IDK if any of it was scripted or not.

[severe hollow]

The few times I've seen this has been done using scripts, but who knows if it can be done any other way. I've given up on this. lol

[severe hollow]

What can be causing this? some AI are impossible to kill for some reason. This didn't happen before btw but now it's a constant thing.

[gritty vortex]

Was this in singleplayer?

[severe hollow]

No it was on dedicated server

[gritty vortex]

I dont see ping on the top right

But this is usually desync

Like, 99% of the time

That's not an excuse, this kind of desync is very bad, just saying what it is

[severe hollow]

Alright, I’ll check that next time. Just threw me off since it’s never happened before. I usually keep the ping and FPS interface turned off but I'll keep an eye on that. Thanks

[gritty vortex]

Check this #reforger_discussion message

You probably had lower ping than 200, but even with 50 ping you can easily miss a target on the serverside

[severe hollow]

Interesting. That might be it. The only thing that changed is you managed to kill the AI once it stopped moving, while I was landing multiple shots on a static target at one point and nothing happened. I was using your M110, which usually downs them in one hit. Really frustrating! but okay I'll keep an eye on the ping from now on

[gritty vortex]

You gotta sort of learn how to deal with the desync in this game recently

[steel field]

I'm all good with it being done via scripts, but even that is proving to be tricky to do.

[severe hollow]

Check out red star by Kexanone. He has some map overlays using scripts you might get an idea from there

[severe hollow]

The "Realism Overhaul Maps" mod does something to the scaling as well... might be work checking out!

[void sparrow]

Can something reset the DisableLOD option? I have an AI mortar man at some distance that is visible when he spawns. But if you look away he can disappear and not reappear again until enter gamemaster and fly the camera over to him. For testing I placed another AI next to him that also has disabled LOD, and he doesn't disappear. The difference between them is that the disappearing AI is firing a mortar, so I'm wondering if entering and exiting a vehicle might reset the option.

hmm. it does seem so. Just added a looping WaitAndExecute that reapplies DisableLOD every second, and now the AI no longer disappears.

[void sparrow]

Yeah okay the problem is SCR_AIStaticArtilleryBehavior.OnActionDeselected which calls agent.AllowMaxLOD without checking what the previous settings was.

EDIT: https://feedback.bistudio.com/T192054

[ancient adder]

I'm trying to add an "Exfil" task to my scenario - once I clear a previous objective, the new exfil task gets activated and can be completed, but it's not showing up in the list of Objectives to select, or showing on the map. Can't for the life of me figure out why - any ideas?

[chrome rampart]

What components are you using for the exfil task?

[ancient adder]

LayerTaskMove > TaskExfil > SlotExtraction

[chrome rampart]

Here is what I get. The only change I made was the Activated by this faction.

Now if you are in the trigger area when the task gets triggered you may not even see it populate the map. Put a wait and execute on what ever your using to trigger the exfil task and do like 5 or 10 seconds.

[ancient adder]

Nah my character is miles away

[chrome rampart]

ok

[ancient adder]

I'll just try moving the "middle" one from mine

You only have the Layer and the Slot there

[chrome rampart]

middle a layer?

[ancient adder]

LayerTaskMove > TaskExfil > SlotExtraction is how mine is set up

Can't paste a screenshot for some reason.

[chrome rampart]

What is TaskExfil? Layer?

[ancient adder]

I can't upload a screenshot unfortunately but the hierarchy is:

Area > Layer Task Move > Task Exfil > Slot Extraction

I'm just using prefabs from SF

Same hierarchy for a previous "Clear Area" task, which works fine and shows up correctly.

[chrome rampart]

Is dynamic despawn turned on for the Area?

[ancient adder]

No

But "exclude" is not checked either.

[chrome rampart]

doesn't have to be.

Here is my world layer. It can be added where the world areas in file explorer

It's for Eden world so may need repositioning

[ancient adder]

I must be missing something - setting it up in the same way that yours is, doesn't even trigger the task. It needs the "TaskExfil" and the "Slot" underneath the LayerTaskMove.

[chrome rampart]

I wouldn't change anything with what I sent, and just test it. It should be there.

Area should be "OnInit" activation.

[ancient adder]

How do I load your file?

[chrome rampart]

Download it. Unzip it. Copy it to the world layers folder of your scenario.

If you are using Eden world you are good to go. If not, edit the Area position and snap to ground

exit workbench and restart.... if you didn't after copying.

[ancient adder]

So all you did was add a "Layer Task Move" and a "Slot Extraction"? Did you change anything else?

[chrome rampart]

Area/LayerTaskMove/SlotExtraction.
Set the "Activated by This Faction" to US.

in the slotextraction plugin

see screen shots above

[ancient adder]

Thanks for the help - no idea what caused the issue, as I had tried it in various different configurations, including the way you did it. The "activated by" had no impact in this case, as it's just set to "player".

[severe hollow]

Is there a way to prevent a previously completed task from triggering a "mission failed" notification when its layer is reset to default?

[severe hollow]

Are hints still broken for anybody else?

[hollow snow]

No all good,just a thought try them hints on a wait and execute for few secs because early on couple things were like that needed a few secs as they were getting missed on instant actions

[hollow snow]

Thats a fair question ive only used restore layer to default on Ai in a D D area should players clear that area before a task potentially is being triggered pre-task in said area,can u set that task to activate only once?

[severe hollow]

Thanks I'll try. But Hint behavior has been very weird on my end for a couple of weeks now. They only start working when I open and close game master or when the mission resets.

[severe hollow]

The tasks are already set to "once," so it's expected they reactivate when the layer is restored to default. What I don't understand is why a "mission failed" prompt appear even when the task was already completed successfully and is no longer visible on the map.

[hollow snow]

is that task triggered or ONIT? but yeah safe to assume its a no go on that layerto default that has a task in it,Take it out make it easy on yourself

[severe hollow]

It's ON_INIT

Can't take it out the whole game mode I'm making it's based around the idea of restoring to default once it's completed so it can choose a different area of operations. Since I couldn't find a solution I just removed the pop up notifications entirely and replaced them with audio voice overs for the time being!

[severe hollow]

How do you actually do this?

[severe hollow]

Actually nvm. I figured it out!

[timid dagger]

navmesh is present, soundmap is presennt, topo map is present why am i getting this error

[chrome rampart]

Is that an error or a warning?

[timid dagger]

Won't let me publish

Even though all those are present

I've been pushing updates to this for months now

Reeeee

[surreal parcel]

Could somebody please let me know which components need to be added to a character prefab to give them a rifle that stays in their hands?

Working on ambient animations for some AI to make the world feel more alive - Seems to be the last thing im stuck on

[chrome rampart]

Source: https://community.bohemia.net/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Mod_Publishing_Process

[chrome rampart]

The primary wpn is added via CharacterWeaponSlotComponent

The weapon is not put in their hands on the character.

That is handle by an #enfusion_animation I believe.

[timid dagger]

I figured it out, wasn't related. Don't even want to say what it was I feel dumb hahahah. Thank you though appreciate you dudes

[warm crow]

Please share 🙂

Might help someone else lol

We all done something silly at some stage

[timid dagger]

My initial photo wasn't sized correctly

For some reason it didn't say in the log

Or rather console

[warm crow]

Always good to share what resolved your issue 🙂 Helps others out.

[surreal parcel]

Thanks mate, helpful as always 🙂

[severe hollow]

How can I change the name of a vehicle in the vehicle depot?

I'm trying with entity catalog but can't see any option for that

[median sinew]

how do I Place Spawn points for MOB's without them being on the map, or spawning unless utilized?

[severe hollow]

Can you elaborate a bit more?

[median sinew]

im trying to put down spawn points like the point above black lake or below the powerplant where MOB's can spawn, but there is no point assosiated with it.

[chrome rampart]

Override the vehicle and edit there.

[severe hollow]

I've done that but where is the option to edit the name? I couldn't find it. Appreciate the help!

ah wait I think I've found it

EditableVehicleComponent

I'll try changing it there see if it works. thank you!!!

[chrome rampart]

As we say here 'ass it'

[severe hollow]

It worked thank you!

[median sinew]

do you understand what im trying to do?

[severe hollow]

Not exactly, but it looks like you're working with the Conflict game mode, which I’m not too familiar with. Hopefully someone else with more experience can step in to help!

[median sinew]

ok thanks

[median sinew]

Next question, im trying to create/move some points on everon, does anyone know how to retain the functionality of the radio towers at entre deaux, and Regina?

[surreal parcel]

Guys, im so close to giving up my short lived Arma modding career here

I cant figure out for the life of me what causes 'Replication' - 'System Failure' errors

Please, does anybody know what actually causes this? Or how I can identify which entity/prefab is the problem - Theres no mention of it in the logs 😦

[severe hollow]

Just my two cents here I've got system failure when using the orange/yellow prefabs. you should only use the blue ones

[surreal parcel]

Thanks @severe hollow Im afraid thats not the issue on this occasion - Just wish anybody from BI would give us some feedback on what exactly causes these errors. If you search this Discord for 'System Failure' it comes up loads, but with no clear answer as to what causes it 😦

[severe hollow]

I agree there should be more information about these issues. Most of them are really ambiguous. Now that I think about it last time I had a "system failure" was because some how one of my mods was duplicated in my downloaded mods so maybe also check that out just in case

[warm crow]

Expand radio coverage area

[chrome rampart]

I suggest you provide as much detail as possible.
What are you try doing?
When does the error occur?
What other mods are you using?
What exactly is the replication error?
What are the steps to reproduce the error?

[surreal parcel]

Thanks for the feedback 🙂

It seems the error is related to an error message that comes up in the Workbench

This layer contains some indelible entities. You must move them into another layer first

Not sure how I can identify which entities its referring to - Has anybody got any experience with this?

Doesnt seem to be any BI information on 'indelible entities' and how they get created

[wicked summit]

Can someone help me with this? All I have left until I can upload.

I made my HQ starting supplies 5000 and this happened. I want there to be a good amount of supplies starting off is there a way around this?

[chrome rampart]

Talking about the supplies crates being all over the place? Just override composition and edit the position of them. All crates should appear in the editor.

[wicked summit]

Override which composition? Because when I am in the world editor I don't see the crates they only spawn once a player loads in.

[chrome rampart]

No Supply crates should show up in the world editor or when you edit prefab.

I think the issue is you are not using the proper supply crate. Those are portable containers.

The supplies crates should be

If you want to increase the supplies override HQ prefab and edit the values of the supplystack
