[torpid tundra]

That flew over my head 😂 I'm screwed if I'm Learning this

[solar shard]

well its not that more difficult then the former sqf scripts. its class based which is hard for me but I see the advantages. My issue is, the whole syntax is foreign for me especially when editing scripts created by other

I see a lot of folks in here who dont struggle with that like I do

[worthy glade]

HA, then there's me, green as can be

[torpid tundra]

I hardly used sqf in arma 3 I just built my missions using 3den enhanced as R3vo managed to integrate most into the editor

And made really really good missions

[quasi jay]

What ID do you mean specifically ?

[worthy glade]

i made okay missions in ofp copying other people's scripts. i think people still make videos playing my 'ctf corridor' back when i was +walkingdead+ Kick

[torpid tundra]

What about the flux capacitor integration module for ZF43 nodes? Do they tie in with the yankeedoodle lane attachment components 🤨 = new editor

[worthy glade]

just go ahead and program a turboencabulator from scratch, that'll help you make a mission

[torpid tundra]

Ah yes thats it! I am able to link the core prefablicated enhancements from this so I can dribble some more

Gonna go play Arma 3 editor 🤤😂

[worthy glade]

just make a new prefab from scratch, no big deal

[torpid tundra]

I'm not even gonna attempt to bud I don't get this editor in the slightest compared with the user friendly arma 3 one which I have spend 3k hours in and I didnt have to read any guides to learn that because it was self explanatory

[solar shard]

I have duplicated ex0 aiSpawnComponent and the coopTriggerSpawner. The way I understand the trigger, I can add a default component. Which would be now my dubbed version entSpawnComponent (since its meant to spawn an entity).

But: I cannot find out the Id of the new entSpawnComponent to write it in the new trigger script.

And: just by dubbing the aiSpawnComponent and change its name and class inside doesnt make it a new SCR as I fear, since I cannot find it in the component to add it manually to the trigger. You see, i have no idea what im doing 😄

[solar shard]

well I love that I can now just drag a fireplace into the scene and it has a setting to enable or disable the lit. Not to speak of OFP's inflame true 😉

thats more then enough user friendliness for me

[torpid tundra]

In arma 3 there was fireplace and fireplace burning 😂

[solar shard]

Im very well aware of this ^^

[quasi jay]

Well, I have no idea what you are doing too. 😅
You are looking for a reference to your new component that you added to some entity?

[solar shard]

I think so. There is this trigger by ex0

SCR_BaseTriggerEntity : "{5BB84B3E6A0B46C5}Prefabs/MP/Triggers/CoopTrigger_Base.et" { ID "5966F2A96DE950B4" components { SCR_AISpawnerComponent "{5966F2A840D93A01}" { m_bUseTrigger 1 m_aWaypointsList { "WP1" "WP2" } } RplComponent "{5966F2A87A6B4E62}" { } } SphereRadius 10 ClassFilter "ChimeraCharacter" }

line 1 gets the id of the base trigger, as you told me via RMB.
Line 2 is an ID I dont know.
Line 4 is the ID of the SCR_AISpawnerComponent, which I dont know how to find out.

I dublicated the SCR_AiSpawnerComponent in the hope to create my own component. But whats its ID. And how to implement it, since it doesnt show up when adding a component to an prefab. its registered.

I will try to write it from scratch out of the editor instead of dublicating it.

[quasi jay]

I would suggest you to create modded class SCR_AiSpawnerComponent and overriding whatever you need.

That way you don’t even have to change the prefab

[solar shard]

but I still need the AiSpawnerComponent for other purposes 😄

[worthy glade]

Zeal can you figure out how to make a trigger play a custom song for me thanks

[solar shard]

haha. no way. other stuff to do right now 😄

[worthy glade]

xD

[solar shard]

and btw, instead of me, there are avid trigger folks here around

[unkempt parrot]

Does anyone know where I might find user created missions on my PC, as I’d like to host them on a dedicated server - if that’s allowed

[mental cove]

If the mission is on the workshop you just specify that in the server config files and it will go and download it

[quasi jay]

Try documents/MyGames/ArmaReforger/addons

[solar shard]

I appreciate your help. I do it now the own way without dubbing stuff. Just writing it by scratch to learn it. Can you lead me to the right direction in my user script: all I want is to create an specific entity at the position of the trigger. So something like getPos thisTrigger to speak.

[quasi jay]

Yeah, you will need to get ResourceName of the prefab you want to spawn. Then Load the Resource from that given ResourceName and then spawn it using GetGame().SpawnEntityPrefab()
Create new EntitySpawnParams, set their TransformType to World and as transorm use the tranform of you entity (GetOwner)

[worthy glade]

Holy are you speaking spanish

[sullen aspen]

Mission making is hard

[crisp rain]

Maybe in the beginning, just need to keep pushing through and youll start getting the hang of it. ex0 has 2 sample projects plus you have the tutorial and Capture & Hold mod to use as references for learning. It'll get easier over time with more documentation as well but at this stage it'll take some elbow grease.

[west karma]

That link is old this is the new one:
https://github.com/Herbiie/ArmAReforgerMissionMakingGuide/wiki/1)--ArmA-Reforger-Mission-Making-%7C-Getting-Started

[hot sandal]

Anyone knows how to lock vehicles yet? I have found disabling the SCR_CarControllerComponent will make it so that you can't start the engine but the vehicle itself is still fully accessible.

[sullen aspen]

I got the ai part down. But the Task thing boggles my mind. In the samplecoop mission the S is blue and then when i add it it's red.
Then you also need some inits scripts to make the task sync work. And that is a bit to far for me right now. For now i will try again next week.

I did think the inheritance is pretty cool. The example maps are also intresting. I would like the readme to be a bit more explaining what does what and best practice.

[sullen aspen]

What happens if you make the vehicle static?

[solar shard]

I will die dumb and lonely

but I love how you try to make me learn 😄

[hot sandal]

No effect.

[worthy glade]

The everon life people figured out vehicle keys and locking, but the vast majority of modders seem intent on not sharing anything

[proud sorrel]

Yeah, I couldn't parse like 10% of that lol

[iron hollow]

i saw some LockComponent

[hot sandal]

From jumping to the script definition I gathered it is more for which game master can edit it.

[quasi jay]

I am not at my pc the whole day, so I cannot really help you much more. 😅 Although I would like to

[solar shard]

As said, I dont expect your help. Its your weekend. I just dont wanna die so damn dump. Its frustrating not to understand the simples basics 😄

ok, so I have the ressourcename of the thing I want create: {5A2220DD0C16958B}Prefabs/MP/Spawning/SpawnPoint_US.et

now I need two things. a function to CREATE this ressource at a position. And a function to GET the position of the current trigger. That cant be that hard. Just thinking loud.

[west karma]

Damn dump?

[hot sandal]

Disabling the ActionsManager seems to remove most actions (get-in etc.) but leaves open weapon slots and cargo.

[worthy glade]

ActionsManager eh

[hot sandal]

I'm assuming the Life stuff uses custom scripting, I was just curious.

[worthy glade]

I wonder if that's part of the car prefab

[mental cove]

Would anyone know why a custom task isnt appearing in the objectives list, my move task works fine but not my custom task

they appear on the map fine, just not in the list on the left

[barren heart]

I think the list cares about these entries in the task manager seen here. Might be worth starting there.

[solar shard]

are they in the right order, added as in the task manager?

[barren heart]

could also just not be assigned to your faction unlike the move ones for some reason

[mental cove]

Yeah the tasks work, appear on the map and can be completed. I think biscuits might be on the right track with the TextsManager since those attributes are empty for me

[exotic reef]

looks like SCR_VehicleSpawnProtectionComponent.IsProtected() is responsible for vehicle locking. i'm not sure how to override components though

[hot sandal]

Could break the prefab, create an inherited class and exchange that component, I suppose.

[mental cove]

somehow i have managed to inverse my problem, only my custom tasks appear in the objective list and default move ones do not.

progress of a kind I suppose

[crimson summit]

I was 95% done with my scenario and then the editor crashed. Now I cant find my world. Has someone else had this problem?

[heavy phoenix]

I need to read this thread. Imma make some weird stuff....

[crimson summit]

Ok nevermind I'm stupid. I launched a different project

[barren heart]

Sooo if you decide to make a custom trigger for a trigger task. Make sure you add a hierarchy component so it can actually reach the child entity. 300 breakpoints latter......

[long oyster]

Heyaa, Crashes the server fully 2 minutes in.

[slow thicket]

Which scenario and are you 100% sure its this mod?

[long oyster]

It's the only mod loaded,
St Phillipe crashes the fastest,
LeMoule can go for 8-13 minutes before it happens.

[slow thicket]

Interesting. I'm having no issues loading it locally and I know there was a server for St Phillipe running before without issues but its completely possible its the mod. Have you tried hosting a vanilla server yet?

[long oyster]

Vanilla runs fine, I have 2 servers up.

[slow thicket]

Okay, I'll see if I can figure out what it is. I'm not sure if it could have to do with the AI.

Thank you for letting me know

[long oyster]

I'll see if i cna get a full log here shortly

[slow thicket]

That would be awesome. Feel free to dm me if necessary.

[hardy prawn]

Does anyone know how to launch the CinematicEntity sequence?

[slow thicket]

Just thought of something, was it failing as soon as you downloaded it or did you update it. I heard someone had an issue after updating and reinstalling fixed it.

[long oyster]

You can get into the mission, but after 2-3 minutes on St Phillipe the server will just hard crash without log.

[long oyster]

wait its not even crashing nvm its like reloading the mission

[slow thicket]

Really weird. Okay I'm going to try to host a server and test it.

[vestal sky]

Does anyone know how to lock an AI soldier in a sentry turret? I've managed to make him mount it at start but if he sees a target he directly gets out

[proud sorrel]

Has anyone had luck attaching an entitity to another prefab, like a vehicle? Looking to try to make a mobile respawn

[mental cove]

Anybody know how to make tasks work in multiplayer, when joining a server running my mission they dont appear, playing it locally they do still show up. And when going into game master on the dedi server they also show up, so maybe something to do with that?

[proud sorrel]

I know capture and hold has an RTO radio respawn, but I don't know how it works

[long oyster]

Don't even know what settings I changed, but its not crashing now

[slow thicket]

Lol great to hear. If you do figure out what it was or have more issues let me know.

[zinc wharf]

@sullen talon Any advice for searching the terrain for flat/empty areas. Something like BIS_fnc_findSafePos from Arma 3. If you could point me to any particular functions or components in the engine that are doing something similar?

[long oyster]

https://i.imgur.com/YIZBjGG.png

[proud sorrel]

Anyone know where to get the mod ID after you publish your mods?

[proud sorrel]

Nevermind, found it in search.

Is there a tutorial on publishing missions yet? I realize I missed a ton of information (i.e. the /mission folder)

[mental cove]

is there a way to copy a component from one object to another, I have tried right clicking and copying group properties but pasting them doesn't work so is there a way to just move a whole component

also right clicking a disabled object seems to crash the world editor

[long oyster]

nvm sometimes it will crash randomly at beginning, and sometimes it doesnt

[sullen talon]

Not really, you would have to make your own I am afraid - altho this is not my domain, perhaps someone other will know

[zinc wharf]

Found some useful functions

I can knock something up

[austere cobalt]

[unique minnow]

how do you change the display name of a faction? for example under "ui info" for USSR on the "FactionManager_Editor.et" prefab I can see its listed as "#AR-Faction_USSR" which im guessing is a reference to a file or variable or something that contains the string that is displayed in game? i may be totally wrong, but basically my question is how would I go about making my own faction, or editing the base ones. thanks

[mental ferry]

anybody get the "Script:Virtual Machine Exception occurred! Check log for more info" Error?

I check the log and its talking about phonebooths and shit. I did nothing with phonebooths lol

[barren heart]

Maybe its suggesting you phone for help 😄

[mental ferry]

I dont know what its suggesting

[mental cove]

so I found another weird dedicated server bug, placed vehicles have all animation disabled on their turrets

[proud sorrel]

I noticed that when I tried to use the Humvee with the turret. Have you tried dynamically spawning it?

[sullen talon]

If a string begins with "#" it is usually a localized string key which refers to the string stored in the string table (.st files) - seealso "String Editor"

[worthy glade]

how does one dynamically spawn things

[unique minnow]

thankyou

[sullen talon]

I think the method is called SpawnEntityTemplate or similar?

[unique minnow]

would you happen to be able to shed some light on my other question to, regarding how I could iterate through the towns on a terrain? I know the logic I would like to implement, but I'm unsure of how to go about it.

[proud sorrel]

Whoa, you're still up @sullen talon ? o_o

[sullen talon]

Yeah, but I'm going to bed 😄

[proud sorrel]

Dang, was going to start rapid firing questions lol

[sullen talon]

Hmm, I am not sure if there is anything that would identify villages, I'd go about placing an entity in each of them and then collecting these entities somewhere

[unique minnow]

okay, thanks so much for your time

[proud sorrel]

Okay, I'm starting the recording for the Official ™️ UselessFodder Arma Reforger Mission Making Tutorial

[hollow siren]

look forward to it!

[signal cloak]

How do you package a gamemodeocmponent into a prefab?

[icy jacinth]

Once you have it set up the way you like just drag into your resource browser and it will make a prefab

[signal cloak]

Do I need to remake the prefab upon changes?

[icy jacinth]

Not sure, I haven't played around with them too much yet

[mental cove]

hitting apply to prefab in the bottom right should change the prefab in the folder

[heavy phoenix]

This is so much like unity, it's insane.

[karmic forge]

I am wanting to implement a custom game mode, how do I go about creating a prefab like GameMode_Base.et, but with my game mode as the script instead?

[crisp rain]

https://i.imgur.com/arR1aL8.png

this is the base game mode, just components for various actions. If you're going from scratch you'd want to take a look at these and the logic to make sure you cover bases. could probably just make a prefab and then start making your own components to tie into it.

This is the 'Plain' game mode so it just has these basic components, there are deathmatch and team deathmatch game modes which probably just have more components attached than this plain one

[karmic forge]

Yeah I'm wanting to use that as a base class and overwrite some methods. It's creating a prefab from / for my script that I don't know how to do

[crisp rain]

Check pins for creating a prefab, probably a few pins down in the list

[karmic forge]

Thanks!

[wheat valve]

is there a way to have triggers reset after a certain or random amount of time?

[crisp rain]

I can take a look tomorrow when I get some free time

[solar shard]

Ok I achieved a lot of stuff lately in my NightOps test thing. I will write a tutorial about certain aspects the next days. Especially about AI mounting turrets, adding addActions to win a mission (e.g. capturing a objective) or losing conditions. Works all fine.

But with two things I struggle. How to use spawnEntityTemplate to create a prefab dynamically at a IEntity trigger position?! @sullen talon you mentioned that but I cannot find any reference to that.
And how to iterate a loop in a script to somehow change the position of a entity periodically?

Simple stuff like that will kill my whole Sunday. LETS MOD 😂

[keen phoenix]

The fun of arma modding!

Is the in-game workshop down for anybody else? Haven't been able to access it for hours now

[solar shard]

Yeah and I love to make progress. Especially after the very first 24hours. But it’s crazy to struggle a whole day about that simple stuff we did since OFP 20 years ago so east.

[keen phoenix]

Yeah right? It's like learning a new language to me completely, I like to think I was a pretty good mission maker for arma 2 & 3 but I only ever touched the surface of scripts, this is definitely fun

[solar shard]

That’s me. Absolutely. But it’s great what we achieved last days with the support of the Bohemia guys here.

[keen phoenix]

I couldn't figure out how neutralize tasks find the unit to be neutralized, I'm looking into components wondering if there's a manager I'm missing, had to download somebody elses example mission to see that the task sets itself to the unit you place it on, seems so simple now haha, I need to get out of the old arma engine mindset

[solar shard]

And I remember good the days when the OFP demo came out and we had no 2d editor - nothing. And yet, we made missions for the demo just with notepad guessing coordinates and so on.

[keen phoenix]

haha that's crazy, I only got into it all when arma 2 came out, I remember my first day trying to tediously write out "this addWeapon "" and "this addmagazine", 20 times just to do custom loadouts for me and my mates, thinking I was making the next big campaign

good fun, very excited for this game because of how much it offers without killing my computer

[magic oasis]

Morning all...

[distant moon]

Good Morning dude

[magic oasis]

I'm looking through this SampleCoop template mission trying to figure out tasks. There is a SCR_EliminateTask but I cant find it anywhere to add, any idea what I am mmissing?

ohhhh, its a custom prefab....

[wheat valve]

has anyone figured out how to make a landmine? like a trigger that can use an RPG7 explosion.

[median oar]

Does any one know how to add the selectable(ingame) scenario to the mod? i have now a TDM mode and i just want to be able to start it xD i can maybe find it here from above : https://github.com/Herbiie/ArmAReforgerMissionMakingGuide/wiki/3)--ArmA-Reforger-Mission-Making-%7C-Finishing-The-Mission#publishing-your-scenario

[magic glen]

Hi all ! I need some help to publish my first test mission :
I follow this tutorial : https://github.com/Herbiie/ArmAReforgerMissionMakingGuide/wiki/
I have trouble at the last step to bundle my mission, I got this on the console log :

RESOURCES (E): Failed to load metafile of mission config image: 
DEFAULT   (E): Cannot copy image: 
RESOURCES (E): Creating bundle failed

Can someone help me please ?

[keen phoenix]

I found this happened when I didn't have images set, I believe you need the .edds image

[keen phoenix]

I wish! I'll let you know if I find any cause

[magic glen]

In the publish window ?

Because I set one

Ivan Buchta (@IvanBuchta)

@G4nDalf_EG We want the full-featured 3D Editor as much as the community, but it's a complex task which will take time. :) #ArmaReforger's Game Master is the necessary step to develop a new in-game editor, scenarios can be made in #EnfusionEngine Workbench too.

Twitter · May 21, 2022, 10:20 AM

[keen phoenix]

It has to be in a certain resolution, could that be the issue?

[magic glen]

Following to the tutorial, I set it at 576x324 for the loading screen and I take the same image. I tryed both png and jpg : same issue

[keen phoenix]

Hm I'm not sure then mate, sorry

Just to clarify, before you publish. The CoopUS.conf .edds photo should be in that resolution

But yeah if you followed the tutorial I'm not sure

[magic glen]

yes I imported it form the png and it converted it in edds

[solar shard]

They have to be in the mod folder. Not in downloads

[magic glen]

@keen phoenix I fixed it by delete all pictures and reimport it, delete the picture in my mission folder and copy it again and rename it in preview.jpg (like default in the publish window)

[magic glen]

Yep, it was, I thing I missed something but it's work now, Thx ! 🙂

[timid chasm]

https://github.com/Herbiie/ArmAReforgerMissionMakingGuide/wiki/3)--ArmA-Reforger-Mission-Making-%7C-Finishing-The-Mission

[median oar]

Ah fuck it still doesent appear as a scenario only as mod. Does some know what could happen?

[median oar]

Thanks that fixed to problem for me as well 😄

[pliant rock]

I hope they make stuff like this more flexible in the future

[brisk notch]

hello everyone, I'm having issues on turning on the lanterns in my mission, am I missing some xxxmanager object?
I just added an entity called LanternMilitary_US
[solved]
had to set properly the starting status in the lantern entity
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1i7s8IhEgCypr8yiauZ_GgNuoijxZtODCqu-11dvEjog/edit?usp=sharing

[median oar]

Is there any default prefabs to let groups respawn?

[iron hollow]

really wish the snap to ground move tool didn't put things on top of trees

[magic oasis]

Is anyone able to jump on voice with me and hold my hand through making a simple destroy a vehicle task? I kinda get all the components but am really struggling to stitch it all together.

[magic oasis]

so i got the guy to enter the static but he doesn't feel like shoot me.. any idea why that could be?

[solar shard]

The basic AI stuff like perception manager is added?

[magic oasis]

It is, yes

ahhhhh. hang on.....

was lacking SCR_AIWorld but that also has no effect

[solar shard]

And other groups are attacking you?

So faction manager is setup

[magic oasis]

yeah, just tested that and they are

[solar shard]

Then I have no clue but adjusting the compartment settings till it works 😉

[magic oasis]

i put an unarmed single character on there....

[solar shard]

This could be issue.

It’s recommended to only use groups via base_spawn. Either create one with only one member or several and give them a defense waypoint near the turret. Either way, when the compartment component is setup correctly, one will use the turret

[magic oasis]

Thanks, i will keep trying

[unique minnow]

the spawn radius on the spawnpoints does not seem to make me spawn anywhere other than on the base point still?

[barren heart]

@solar shard Is this the sort of thing you were after, made a generic component for spawning prefabs of triggers https://streamable.com/z8ra2e

[solar shard]

while you are right I already solved it with the support of Joe Malley. In my current NightOps version, there are several bonus objectives which allows you to unlock (spawn) new US_spawn points. But thank you. This looks awesome.

[solar shard]

you can always download my sourcecode and copy stuff or use it for tutorial purposes:

https://github.com/Zealous666/AR_NightOps1985

the current code include stuff like:

• tasks for bonus and main objectives
• trigger to spawn enemies dynamically
• enemies on patrol, arming vehicles & bunker turrets
• trigger to spawn more spawn points on the fly
• trigger to win the mission by capture of the truck via AddAction
• trigger to loose the mission when truck gets destroyed
• daytime and weather setting
• loadout & respawn system
• mobile respawn attached to an vehicle

[barren heart]

Wow you've got a lot going on in there all ready, I might have to take a look later on.

[distant moon]

Is just amazing to see the community in action .

[pliant rock]

yes

[left lava]

How to End tasks in OnTriggerEmpty() ?

[magic oasis]

Can you transfer prefabs between projects?

[unique minnow]

Does anyone know why even if you increase spawn radius it always spawns you exactly on the spawnpoint?

[magic oasis]

Does that function only work if there is someone else on the point. That’s how I read it but I am probably wrong.

[unique minnow]

i dont see anything like that

[magic oasis]

Maybe I dreamt it. Sure I read the tooltip or something. I’m AFK will double check later.

[slow thicket]

Okay Im dumb how do I change the initial weather? I know I need to use the time and weather manager but after that im lost.

[magic oasis]

Just do what I did and smash the sliders until something works. Coolest thing is that it takes effect in real time before you even load the mission.

[pliant rock]

yeah, just try some things out in both components

[magic oasis]

Had a lot of fun watching the AI on patrol at night. Really like how only the squad lead has his light on. Not sure if this is intend but cool nonetheless

[slow thicket]

Which sliders actually effect the weather? Time works fine but when I change the initial state for the weather its always clear as soon as I load in

[solar shard]

Do you have by any chance still the other manager of the Eden.et enabled?

[slow thicket]

Possibly... How do I disable it

[solar shard]

open in in its default layer and in "unsorted" you can untick the "enabled" box as you can do with a lot of elements. Then lock the default layer and pray that it takes some till it will magically reset itself.

[slow thicket]

Lol okay thank you!

Still I cant get the damn clouds to stay, am I suppose to be editing anywhere other than "Initial State"

[zenith void]

im following herbii guide but the trigger script throw an erro any idea why > Function "ScriptedEntityFilterForQuery" is marked as override, but there is no function with this name in the base class > in the paste bin its line 4, 7 in the script tool

[exotic reef]

i've uploaded a small mission called Farm Assault you guys can try out. took 2 days for 5 mins of gameplay lol

[barren heart]

Ahh nice these soldiers seem to know the way to the farm 😛

[exotic reef]

you have to extend SCR_BaseTriggerEntity. post your code

[exotic reef]

yeah they even know how to open doors, sometimes. but going upstairs is too much for them

[zenith void]

u mean the radius its at 800 and post you code i dont understand that reference..

[exotic reef]

no i mean copy paste your script so we can see what the problem is

[zenith void]

https://pastebin.com/mJqhNfCw

[exotic reef]

the first line is missing, it should say something like 'class myTrigger : SCR_BaseTriggerEntity'

[zenith void]

already in the tool

i think that line is automatically put in

[barren heart]

@exotic reef Well I don't seem to be able to complete your mission, not down to any bugs I just apparently suck and keep dying 😄

[exotic reef]

if you hang back the friendlies should clear them out. there are 1 or 2 enemies that can randomly spawn in houses though. once you kill all enemies the mission will end

[brisk notch]

hello, I'm facing a weird situation, with timeandweather manager, when the mission starts, the time of the day is correct but... the clock (and the time of the day) is not changing, it is locked at the starting time, any suggestion?

[cyan yoke]

set a time multiplier

[iron hollow]

did you disable the default manager included in eden

[barren heart]

Yeah I did that and completed it now. Rambo I am not.

[brisk notch]

nope, thx, I'll do it immediately

[random heart]

hey guys, I'd like to delete an object from a prefab, do you know a way to do it ?
Obviously I tried deleting it but an error message appears saying I can't
I can't move the object out of the prefab, and hiding it only works in the world tool, once the scenario launched it appears to players

[barren heart]

You can right click the prefab entity in the left pane and break prefab instance if im understanding you right. If you want to permanently change the prefab you can right click it in resource browser and edit prefab.

[random heart]

you are a life saver, thanks a lot

(and if some1 has the same problem, it did work : right click on the prefab in the left panel list and "break prefab")

[brisk notch]

[solved] thx Cuel, there was a conflict with the timeandweather manager of Eden

[magic oasis]

Worth checking the log. I had similar and it literally told me what the problem was.

[brisk notch]

sorry to bother you, I'm facing another issue with AI reactions, not sure if I need to setup AI Skills or something similar anywhere in a config file.
Here it is my situation:
I'm using waypoint type "patrol" for a group of AI (rifle team) these units are respecting the waypoint and when they ear a rifle shot they are reacting properly going to the source of the rifle shot. At this point unfortunately looks like they are not able to see the opponent, they go very close to the enemy before starting to answer to the enemy fire
Any suggestion?
do I need to setup a starting alert level of the AI?

[random heart]

is it at night ?

[brisk notch]

during the daybrake

[magic oasis]

"Create entity @"ENTITY:2305843009213693970" ('GameEntity','Assets/Weapons/Tripods/6T5/Tripod_6T5.xob') at <5030.547363 28.683001 11955.031250>

I get this far when trying to get a guy from group on PKM

Any ideas?

[solar shard]

at what point do you get this? you use the compartmentManager for that?

[magic oasis]

sorry, should have been more clear. This is in the log when I start the gmae in the viewer

it might be unrelated though

never mind. I get it with no group or waypoint so must not be the issue

[slow thicket]

Having the same issue with one of my scenarios, let me know if you figure out what is causing it

[brisk notch]

you too during daybreak?

[slow thicket]

Mine is at sunset

[brisk notch]

which latitude and longitude are you using? I have the feeling that the geo coordinates could be in some way connected

[slow thicket]

LAT: -7.105 LONG: 75.737

[random heart]

could one of you run the same test at midday ? I saw some parameters in the editor how lightening impact how IA "see"

it may be bugged

[slow thicket]

Yeah I increased the time and it improved

[vestal sky]

I've gotten this before but managed to get the guy in the PKM by placing a defend waypoint by it. It's just a warning and I couldn't see what exactly causes it.

[magic oasis]

Ok. Thanks. Does it take some time? For me the guys just stand about doing nothing. No one gets on the gun. 🤷‍♂️

[vestal sky]

Takes 1-2 seconds to move to it but should happen instantly basically

Can they enter it if you use the gamemaster commands?

I had problems with this yesterday and was a bit tricky to get it to work

[maiden lodge]

About prefab, how can I edit an prefab ?

I made an duplication of an existing prefab but I can't find how to edit it (remove elements for example)

[brisk notch]

looks like the sun (and the visibility) for the AI is not the same the players have, maybe it is a different timezone or latitude/longitude

[magic oasis]

Did you have to change anything in the compartmentManager?

[vestal sky]

No, I only placed down a defend waypoint over the sentry, added the waypoint to the groups static waypoints and poof it worked

[random heart]

you edit the parameters for the time being to disabled the impact of lightning on AIs

[exotic reef]

right click on it in the hierarchy and "Break"

[maiden lodge]

Oh okay and how I recompose it ?

[exotic reef]

make your changes then click & drag the instance into your resource browser. it will be saved as a new prefab

[maiden lodge]

Thank you ! (That's not very intuitive)

[magic oasis]

Can anyone point me to a guide or info on making a simple move/destroy task?

[brisk notch]

nope, unless it was accidental

meanwhile I tried to manage the parameters of the TimeAndWeatherManagerEntity and now is working way better
here the screenshot
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1exXAYxvslrYpdyFVIlFo01NkKIwILXPCud9wsF3TVBA/
still need to figure out which one of the changes is impactfull and which is not

[karmic forge]

Any examples for spawning? I want to respawn the player in a radius around a spawn point. Can't get the spawn radius setting to do anything, and can't seem to change the player's spawn point either

[rotund glade]

Sorry for asking, I could not find it in search. How can we change the speed of AI patrols? I cannot find anything in waypoints or group behaviour. I dont need patrols running all the time

[brisk notch]

maybe I'm wrong but the player spawn in the center of the area, just in case there is already somebody in the center the spawn radius is applied

[exotic reef]

if you use patrol waypoints they will walk

[rotund glade]

Ah..... so "move waypoint but just different move" as they say in the description..... Very intuitive. Thank you for the help. Much obliged.

[brisk notch]

sorry everyone but I'm really confused about how to test the mission in MP,
is there a way to run the mission on my pc and give access to remote players?
My mission is already in the workshop of course

[crisp rain]

Started a series for people brand new to making missions, going into co op in the next video and then future videos will focus on adding specific features. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BM7stNyaNk

[night jewel]

Heyo i have a question xD i managed to make my own Waypoints, however the Image which im loading from the ImageSet like in the Tutorial has some problems

i'm accessing the Image like this:

Waypoint.LoadImageFromSet(0, BuildingIconImageset, "USSR_Base_Main_Select");

The Variable BuildingIconImageSet looks like this:

[Attribute("{F7E8D4834A3AFF2F}UI/Imagesets/Conflict/conflict-icons-bw.imageset")] //ArmaReforger/UI/Imagesets/Conflict/conflict-icons-bw.imageset
protected ResourceName BuildingIconImageset;

Does someone have any idea why this is happening? 😄

[crisp rain]

Haven't tinkered with loading images but that waypoint is better than the north star

[brisk notch]

where I can find the scenarioID of my edited mission?

[crisp rain]

#reforger_servers message

[night jewel]

i think i will leave it like this for now, it serves the purpose 😄

I don't want to spend too much time on it right now xD I'm going on with other things

[crisp rain]

Not a bad plan at all! Definitely serving its purpose out there :D

[narrow path]

Has anyone figured out the ability to place probabilty of vehicles or items yet? is that not implemented atm

[sullen talon]

Don't forget to .SetImage(0);

[night jewel]

hm doesnt help :/

Waypoint.SetOpacity(0);
Waypoint.LoadImageFromSet(0, BuildingIconImageset, "USSR_Base_Main_Select", true);
Waypoint.SetImage(0);

In the comments of the ImageWidget class it says, that calling this function is switching to another Image, if its loaded

So i guess the error happens on loading the Image from the ImageSet

[night jewel]

Yes as I thought, the LoadImageFromSet method returns false when it tries to load the image

[manic cloak]

Where can I find the SzenarionID of my custom world?

[crisp rain]

#reforger_servers message

[night jewel]

Holy shit, I got it xD
I have changed the variable "BuildingIconImageset" as follows:

From:

[Attribute({DCEAF860DE9F72DF}UI/Imagesets/Conflict/InfoImageSet.imageset]
protected ResourceName BuildingIconImageset

To:

protected ResourceName BuildingIconImageset = "{DCEAF860DE9F72DF}UI/Imagesets/Conflict/InfoImageSet.imageset";

I dont know what the Attribute Makro does, but somehow I can't access the ImageSet that way.
But anyway, it works now and I can finally go to sleep satisfied xD

[crisp rain]

Nice man, thanks for sharing the solution :D

[vast oar]

is there a mod for having loadout slots, so you choose a slot like 'squad leader' and get a specific loadout, but nobody else can take that slot because youve taken it already?

because the loadout system in the game by default is just choose 1 out of 5 and anyone can also choose the same, like you can have 8 machine gunners in your squad

[crisp rain]

You'd have to look at the workshop to see if there is a mod for that

then you'd need to find a server running that mod

[carmine swan]

You could create yourself some kind of custom manager that inherits from the LoadoutManager or even just a custom component to stick on the loadout manager that keeps track of how many each type of loadout has been selected. I don't know for certain, but I have to imagine there's some kind of event that gets fired that you could hook into when a loadout is selected.

If there is, you just increment a counter value every time someone selects a loadout and decrement it when someone changes their loadout or disconnects (aka deregisters). Anyway, that's how I'd do it. Mind you, I haven't actually tested that but it doesn't seem like it would be too difficult to do.

Might play around with that kind of idea.

[iron hollow]

can i replace the root in a prefab? got a custom game mode but moving over all the attached components felt like a lot of work

[willow inlet]

You can also inherit and specialize SCR_BasePlayerLoadout

[austere cobalt]

Is there some tutorial or example how this event stuff works?
Can you hook into events on a global lvl so for example can some nonrelated component that is placed alone for itself listen to player killed events?

[willow inlet]

Spawn character prefab, find EventManager on it - check events which are raised. You can hook on those from kind of anywhere.
Or - if its local player only GetPlayerController

[carmine swan]

I don't know of any tutorials going over events in arma specifically (yet), but events and event listeners are a software development topic not specific to just arma so you can look up the overall concept of how they work and look into how they have it implemented in Reforger.

[real elbow]

trying to troubleshoot a scenario causing replication errors when trying to join it via dedicated server. Could this be caused by too many prefabs being placed?

can't join the server succesfully - can host the scenario/mission on local and via scenario's from primary game menu

[carmine swan]

is there a specific error you're getting that can provide some more context?

[real elbow]

yeah - one moment

getting loads of these: 15:46:47:842 RPL (E): IReplication::JIPError: Inconsistent item table on Slave connection. Item is missing or different item was loaded in its place. (item=0x40043FD2 layout=UniversalInventoryStorageComponent)
15:46:47:842 RPL (E): Expected:
15:46:47:842 RPL (E): cpp_layout=_RplComponent_Layout

[austere cobalt]

I get the concept. You throw an event and add listeners which react to that but there are million ways how this could be implemented and work.
But if they are really available from anywhere it would be great can't wait to test it out tomorrow.

[carmine swan]

Does this scenario load okay in the reforger tools or do you get errors there too? it seems like the wrong component is on an object or something? it's expecting one thing, getting another. If you get the same error when playing in tools, you will need to track down what component it actually wants and put that on whatever item is throwing that error.

that's just what i gather from that error message haha i could be wrong and the devs might have some better insight

[real elbow]

no errors when playing in tools or launching via scenarios lol

[carmine swan]

weird

[real elbow]

just the glass component one

that i think exists in the default world

[carmine swan]

devs might have a better idea, then. Ihaven't done anything with dedicated servers yet so pretty limited knowledge there

[real elbow]

before i go down a troubleshooting rabbit hole... anyone have issues with placing "large" amounts of prefabs?

like- building 2-3 new military bases worth of assets

[carmine swan]

I mean, events typically are available from anywhere. You're just creating a listener that is waiting for a specific event and when it's fired you do stuff. Typically, you should be able to get the instance of whatever object fired the event and do stuff with it. But yeah it will take some experimentation. I have yet to do that myself so right now it's just conceptual based on general game dev concepts 😛

[narrow path]

kind of a weird question, my pc is way above specs for the game and everything else in the workbench works well for me, but the script editor is super unresponsive, has anyone else ran in to this issue and fixed it or anyone know any causes?

[radiant summit]

@solar shard playing latest version. Lighthouse objective seems to auto complete. Showed before I killed anyone in the area. Got in BTR while New Spawnpoint text showed, it said Completed APC, not New Spawnpoint continuously pops up. Been going for a few minutes now

Ok, it stop once I unlocked a new Spawnpoint. One thing I’d note for these, is may not trigger them being unlockable if there’s enemy presence? It’s the radio uplink one. This one completed correctly though.

Still at the radio uplink. Seems like the dynamic spawning is placing them just a few meters away. Unless there was a nearby patrol…

[radiant summit]

Ok. Killed all enemies guarding, no victory. Destroyed the truck, defeat screen.

EDIT: ah I see it’s been changed to capture the truck, not destroy.

[narrow path]

what am i doing wrong with the below code causing it to end the mission with defeat/FIA has won the game, When im trying to get it to say Victory/FIA has won the game.

override void OnActivate(IEntity ent) { SCR_BaseGameMode gameMode = SCR_BaseGameMode.Cast(GetGame().GetGameMode()); // Get the game mode for the end script Faction faction = GetGame().GetFactionManager().GetFactionByKey("FIA"); // Get the winning faction Key int fiaIndex = GetGame().GetFactionManager().GetFactionIndex(faction); // Get the winning faction key's index gameMode.EndGameMode(SCR_GameModeEndData.CreateSimple(SCR_GameModeEndData.ENDREASON_EDITOR_FACTION_VICTORY, 1, fiaIndex)); // End the mission! };

[crisp rain]

is this all of the script or is there more?

[solar shard]

Hey appreciate your play testing and feedback. Yeah I noticed yesterday night that the tasks auto complete when playing the map online while everything is alright when playing out of the editor. That said, you will have a hard time if you don’t know the final task: (capture, not destroy anymore). The system in the background is setup that way that the mission fails when you destroy the truck and wins, when you capture it via userAction.

The BTR dynamic spawn point is disabled right now due to a critical bug.

The others at lighthouse & radio should work normal but also need adjusting regarding enemy presence. Buggy too it seems. It should complete (und unlock once all enemies are dead) but I feel I have to rework that too.

I will setup the tasks again from scratch since right now it has become a hell of bugs and I noticed that the weather system also resets itself still! (It should start in the evening and getting dark very quick, but most time it’s just noon) Will bug fix as much as I can tonight since I really want to finish it and continue to make a bigger one on main island. Plan to make 4-5 coop missions in the mod as a MP campaign but right now it lacks on vehicles to fulfil all my plans which will be a homage to Cold War crisis. To be honest, testing all this stuff on a dedicated server is another challenge

[atomic tree]

Is it possilble to delete buildings and other map objects in a mission/mod? Currently I only know how to add those things but not how to delete/hide the original stuff.
If I try deleting buildings then I get the message
"You are about to delete entities also from inactive layer(s).
Do you still want to proceed?"
If I proceed then the changes are not persistent. How can I solve this?

[thin ermine]

fairly sure you can't remove from the original map

[strange raven]

I know how to change weapon to the model, but i cant customise the weaponry. ( i could find the weaponry itself but i don’t know how to put it on models)

Do you guys know how to put it on….?

[lean scroll]

But removing or at least hiding by script should be possible? But idk which method would delete/hide it.

[modern elm]

i have seen you can move it, may be you can move it benealth the surface or someplace away?

[thin ermine]

I suspect there'll be a 'hide objects' like in arma 3

[left lava]

How to add waypoint to SCR_AiGroupSpawner ?

[narrow path]

That's it as far as I can tell

[iron hollow]

can't see any such script in the core files, it's from a mod?

[left lava]

AISpawnerGroup in scripts/Gamelib/Genrated/AI/AISpawnerGroup.c

[vestal sky]

I think there's a disable value or smth. I've seen nightops use it to remove a trigger once it's been triggered

It's in like the main flags for objects along with a few other such as "static" or "editor"

[solar shard]

hmpf, having a lot of crashes lately. That said since yesteray, in the editor. Am I the only one?

[iron hollow]

ah that's why i didn't find it. if you're just looking to spawn a group and give it a waypoint you might be better off spawning a prefab group so you get it configured properly
did you get it to spawn the group with members?

[left lava]

The goal is to make finite group waves, the prefabs do not allow it right ?

[iron hollow]

you can spawn as many prefabs as you want

i made a infinite ai spawner with waypoints by just modifying the spawner in the sample-coop mission to respawn once the group was killed

[solar shard]

Just a heads up to that.
The current NIGHTOPS version has a lot of bugs lately which I didn’t find. Doing it just again from scratch with more streamlined solutions and some new features like custom Loadouts etc

[austere cobalt]

How do you keep track of the AI (alive or dead)? via trigger? I have my whole mission in a big SCR_ChimeraCharacter trigger which periodically iterates over an array of AIs and respawns then when dead. But this seems to me super hacky.

[iron hollow]

m_group.GetOnEmpty().Insert(OnSpawnedGroupEmpty);

for that one i just respawn once the group is empty

[barren heart]

Just reading the patch notes "Fixed: AI sometimes don't see players in very dark area, even from upclose".

[vestal sky]

Had an AI 2m in front of me at midnight and he didn't see me

[iron hollow]

did you try now with the latest patch? it came out like in the last hour

[barren heart]

Had about 30 blufor and opfor makes friends in the castle, the very illuminated castle at that 😛

[unkempt parrot]

Has anyone figured out how to host a workshop mission on a dedicated server?

Seems like the days of PBO's are over

[torpid mural]

I do. What's your issue?

[sullen talon]

Downloaded mod has ServerData.json which contain all the necessary information, the rest is documented on Biki

[amber tinsel]

Couldn't find much yet, so I made a tutorial for custom missions based on what I figured out so far.
(just now, after recording, found out about the coop sample, so I guess I'll do an updated one soon :p)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyGeke4kDck

[fathom merlin]

Hey, quick question. I'm trying to play a Team Death match mode on my custom world but have a variety of issues.

A) I dragged an obscene amount of managers and prefabs for testing so I'm not sure why what I have works

B) When G is pressed, or on random, I get the following error

Class:      'SCR_VONController'
Function: 'InitEntries'
Stack trace:
scripts/Game/VON/SCR_VONController.c:353 Function InitEntries
scripts/Game/UI/HUD/QuickMenu/SCR_QuickMenu_BaseDisplay.c:171 Function OnOpen
scripts/Game/UI/HUD/QuickMenu/SCR_QuickMenu_BaseDisplay.c:346 Function OnMenuOpen```

C) Sometimes a helmet of USSR soldier is visible in FP mode.


__

What steps do I need to take to successfully set up the world to my required game mode?

Have a bit of a mix at the moment

tried removing all the stuff and copying only prefabs from Reforger maps, still didn't work properly

[winter grove]

When GenericWorldPP_Default prefab shows up in my resource browser, my workbench crashes. Curiously, this happens in new projects I make but does not happen in an older project I have.

[narrow path]

you doing pvp or coop?

[fathom merlin]

pvp

[narrow path]

are you using the capture and hold as dependency?

[fathom merlin]

I'm not, I originally thought you could make this simply a TDM. Can I still add the dependency?

[narrow path]

idk about adding a dependency after making the project i assume u could, but idk how maybe Ex0 knows more. there is a TDM game mode prebuilt in the game files and using GM_Eden does have alot of the managers that are required already placed in the map. could help

[fathom merlin]

wondering I can add the dependency here

actually, seems like I can open the project with additional addons, let's see if that works

right click

[narrow path]

okay then yeah do it that way

[fathom merlin]

maybe not lol

[narrow path]

I have no idea, like i said i haven't messed around with adding dependencies after the project has begun out of habbit from previous arma games.

[fathom merlin]

tried to add it as dependency and it just destroyed my project 😄

[narrow path]

welcome to arma always make backups

are u able to remove the dependency you added?

[solar shard]

Just noticed that the game crashes after several seconds once the camera is in the town of Etui on the northern island (NightOps mission). Since the last update. Maybe a memory leak.

[fathom merlin]

I'm now unable to open any project in workbench. If I try...INIT : Workbench startup

ENGINE       : Creating engine.

[narrow path]

tf it cant add reforger files to the project? did u accidently remove it or core as dependency?

[fathom merlin]

no, just added an extra dependency in one project, then tried to open it again and now all projects can't open

[narrow path]

try going in to #reforger_troubleshooting the BI memebers tend to keep an eye on that channel they may be able to help.

[barren heart]

I had that error yesterday after changing the project name, it was giving that error plus other odd stuff. Deleted profile folder and all sorts before eventually restarting PC then it was just fine 🤷‍♂️

[fathom merlin]

I have removed addon folder with the original project. validated files. Gonna try to restart PC for the second time now

still nothing

[hazy raven]

Hello everybody, i have a issue, i made a mission with the herbiie's Tutorial, at the end i don't have anything in my scenarios ingame. can you help me ?

[narrow path]

are u using the placeholder images

[solar shard]

Sticky posts tried?

[hazy raven]

I think so

[narrow path]

yeah using any other image other than the ones u have rn and it should work

[hazy raven]

so i change the images and everything gonna work ?

[narrow path]

]should do

[hazy raven]

Ok thanks i give it a try.

[solar shard]

Really, check the stickies. Your fault is just one possible several with that issue. It’s all explained there several times.

There are some things which can go wrong with the missionHeader we all went through

[halcyon patrol]

Is the enfusion workbench tool designed and intended for mission making or are you guys just working with what you've got

[hazy raven]

@solar shard I will sorry for the inconvenience, i will check the sticky messages.

[narrow path]

u can make missing in it

[solar shard]

All fine. Was just a hint.

[solar shard]

The mission workbench is intended to do everything including total conversions. So yes, you can totally can make missions with that. Maybe someday a simple mission editor will come too once the game has made more progress but right now, that’s what we got (and it’s awesome thanks to endless possibilities€

[hazy raven]

@halcyon patrol Making simple PVE PVP mission, is not so difficult, the ui is counter intuitive but like Zeal says the possibilities and opportunity are huge !

[vast oar]

is there a sample coop mission by BI in the workshop?

ah theres one on github, not ingame

[solar shard]

Yes. coopSample. It’s in the sticky too.

[vast oar]

is there a solution to assigning only 1 loadout per spawn

[solar shard]

And, not by BI but with more stuff in it, mine for example. The NightOps mission from the sticky. And several awesome tutorials from folks of this place are there too.

[solar shard]

You mean to limit them?

[vast oar]

i mean theres 8 slots in a Squad, i want only 1 to be a SL, 1 to be Medic, 1 to be AR, 1 AAR, 1 Grenadier, etc

something like that

[solar shard]

Not so sure. Read the question several times here but don’t know the answer.

[mental cove]

There might be a better way, but you could make a class that inherits from loadout manager and modify or add some functions that remove loadouts when a player joins

[narrow path]

You could just make a group and set it as playable, and then figure out how to eneable player to slot in to the group

[fathom merlin]

@narrow path was able to resolve the issues

and implement capture and hold

only issue I still have now is that my US characters keep getting killed on spawn. Not sure if that's due to there being some sort of zone that you can't leave?

[mental cove]

Anyone figured out the end screens yet, I have an endscreen defined in the SCR_GameOverManagerComponent, but I keep getting an error when trying to use it.

[fathom merlin]

my US characters just die on spawn lol. Doesn't matter if it's a player or not

https://i.gyazo.com/61958a480f45d70bcaded91dc9872541.mp4

[steady nimbus]

How can I set sequential tasks for a coop mission? Like, Move to A, Move to B, Kill C, Extract at D, then set it to one faction and customize the task description.

[sullen talon]

You would have to create them with your script one by one, on completion, I think. There is a completion callback though! @quasi jay ?

[sullen talon]

Are you talking about C&H specifically?

[sullen talon]

There is a "SpawnArea" that kills enemy units in 10 seconds

[steady nimbus]

well, that's unfortunate

[fathom merlin]

I'm using C&H game mode. Where is that defined? Is it the Penalty time?

it's odd, because the AI was spawned away from that area

[sullen talon]

It's an entity in the world SCR_SpawnArea, I believe

[fathom merlin]

thank you, that worked. It was caused by "Penalty Time" in here

[solar shard]

Just on the phone right now but what is NEUTRAL? Like a Mission tie? Thinking about faction keys.

[fathom merlin]

with CH mode, I see there is a config for each mission type. I've created mine, where can I apply this?

[mental cove]

its just an alias for an int, like EDITOR_NEUTRAL is 1000, but I figured my issue out, I was using GameOverBase.layout instead of EndScreen_Default.layout. In the content layout attribute

[small narwhal]

Does anyone know How to work SCR_ScoringSystemComponent?
I tested TeamDeathmatch prefab and I killed AI soldger but the score is not counted up.
Do I need to place the another something prefab or component?

[sullen talon]

It should appear in the 'Scenario' menu automatically.

[fathom merlin]

where can I open this menu?

[sullen talon]

But penalty time is tied to the SpawnArea

[fathom merlin]

yeah.. much appreciate the advice <3, seems like it's a combination of issues.. there is an issue with the defined mission area. as US I keep getting "you are behind enemy lines return to your objective" and I still keep getting killed. Just going through CH default maps to see where that is defined

[sullen talon]

That is the SCR_SpawnArea doing that!

[fathom merlin]

I was smooth brained, activated draw debug and now I see what the issue is

sorry

[crisp rain]

No need to apologize, we are all here to learn :)

[west karma]

Do any of the examples have a way of doing "slot screen" type groups with set roles and loadouts? Or something close to?

[hazy raven]

@west karma You are the best ! You make a perfect tutorial ! Huge thanks !

[west karma]

I just typed up what other people said to do haha the peeps here like @solar shard @exotic reef @sullen talon are the ones who worked things out

[hazy raven]

@solar shard I find the issue for my mission, i forgot the (s) in missions.... I am sooo dumb !

[crisp rain]

@hazy raven A few people following my tutorial reached out and had the same problem. Its semi common so dont beat yourself up :P

[crisp rain]

Do you have an image example of what you're referring to?

[west karma]

I mean like ArmA 3's slot screen?

https://i.imgur.com/FPdQw2R.png

[crisp rain]

Ahh

I haven't come across anything similar yet

I think the loadout from capture and hold would probably be the closest, would have to see how it works and then build up something new.

Groups and limited loadouts

OR groups, spawn everyone as unarmed and then have squad equipment boxes

[solar shard]

And I just did what ex0 and the others here explained to me! All credits to the folks!

[crisp rain]

I have something similar on my list herbiie so if I get to it before someone has a solution ill let ya know what I find

[vast oar]

i followed sneaky's guide and made a mission, i can sorta make missions now. still need to figure how to create limited loadouts so there can only be like 1 machinegun and 1 grenadier per team

i dont like squad equipment boxes. i hate people spending 15 minutes RP dressing up at the start of an op, what a waste of everyone's time

in A3 we create templates in advance with all the correct slots and loadouts and outfits, you just pick your slot and ready to go

[west karma]

Speaking of @exotic reef :
https://github.com/Herbiie/ArmAReforgerMissionMakingGuide/issues/1

Was IsAlive defined in SCR_BaseTrigger or was it defined in the building trigger type I was using before?

If the latter could someone go in and grab the code for IsAlive from the Compaign_BuildingTrigger so I can add it to this script for the tutorial - I'm back on barracks atm so have no access

[west karma]

100% agree but if the choice is that or nothing then idk. There will be a way to do limited loadouts though because this is reforger, maybe in the RespawnMenu or the LoadoutManager

[solar shard]

Yeah, virtual arsenal always feels like a cheat room.I’m a fan of either respawn Loadouts which already is implanted or persistent inventories.

[vast oar]

our thing looks like this https://i.imgur.com/pybHarP.png and when you die and if its not a one-life op, then you just respawn with the same loadout (fresh). makes it fast and whoever is leading an op can see what he got and he lacks, rearrange people before they fuck off to play dress up

guess we'll have to wait for actual programmers or BI to help figure this out.. it definitely requires a UI element where you see a list of this sort and ability to click in and out of roles, etc

[west karma]

I suspect the way it will be is somehow finding out what loadout everyone in the group has so you join the group and select the SL loadout and boom you're SL

[crisp rain]

herbiie ill check if the script validates on my end in a minute here

[west karma]

Maybe add to the tag manager something to display your loadout with it

[west karma]

Cheers bbz

[solar shard]

Well avid coders are providing more and more GUI stuff in #enfusion_scripting and folks like @sullen talon are here not just to support us but also to study what we need the most I guess.

Early access is just a week. We have to patient and creative.

[west karma]

Indeed!

[crisp rain]

I posted on the github issue

[ruby basin]

Hey, does anyone know how I can remove the soviet faction from the conflict gamemode and only have it as PVE?

[ruby basin]

I found it

[solar shard]

For the search: faction manager -> isPlayable

[ruby basin]

Thanks, also another question is game master included in conflict or do I need to add it?

[solar shard]

thats another gamemode afaik. altough you can use it while testing maps out of the editor which is very useful to observe your scripts, AIs or triggers once you have changed the default "esc" binding in the workbench settings -> world editor

maybe you can add the corresponding component to your own gamemode. dont know

[ruby basin]

Thanks again, Ill take a look at it

[barren heart]

@solar shard Big thanks for making me realise I can rebind exit play mode.

[solar shard]

lol

[crisp rain]

Are you talking about using Esc to access game master?

[solar shard]

my moment of glory between all this Pros here 😄

[crisp rain]

Also these food usernames and I haven't eaten lunch yet D:

[barren heart]

😄

[solar shard]

sort of. I use ESC SHIFT to leave game testing. So I can use ESC to reach GM

[crisp rain]

You can use Y(hold) to access it in game

[magic oasis]

I use Esc all the time to back out of inventory etc. I totally need to rebind that in Enfusion

[crisp rain]

I did a couple of times and left the editor but that punishment helped my brain understand to just use TAB

[solar shard]

yeah but, was @magic oasis said, there or enough reasons to rebind it 😄

[crisp rain]

oh yeah probably other reasons to do it

I should rebind mine to shift+esc while im thinking of it

[steady nimbus]

@crisp rain I'm following your tutorial on YouTube, I'm just starting with this editor and I'm having problems with my game mode as Plain, Greenfor is always neutral/unresponsive and when I put single units instead of groups they're always static no matter the faction. Any ideas?

[crisp rain]

If you place a single unit (not from a group) you need to go into the components and check the 'enable ai' box. That's why I just use groups and then alter them as I see fit

[steady nimbus]

Perfect, thank you, what about green as a neutral unresponsive faction? Same process?

[west karma]

@crisp rain Thanks for that, I am glad it wasn't me haha

Though I should really have clocked that, didn't need to be at my PC for it haha

[crisp rain]

Umm. As for green being neutral im not positive because I actually haven't placed them. , I am done with work in ~1hr and I can check and get back to you after some troubleshooting

@west karma It's fine, you said you don't really code so it would have been hard to notice what was going wrong with that script he posted + the error messages. Essentially he was going to starbucks to order a pizza (using a function that didn't exist in the class he inherited from)

[magic oasis]

That could be the key to unlocking my problem with using a single dude on a static.

[west karma]

Ikr should've followed the guide! Has pictures and everything 😛

I don't code at all. Literally the only code I know is SQF from ArmA 3. Tempted to look into c# or c++ basics, whichever it is enfusion is based on

[crisp rain]

c# is really close, I do plan to make a beginner series on EnScript but itll be a couple weeks before its all together.

@magic oasis hope it fixes your problem :D

[solar shard]

this. thats me!

[west karma]

I really wish there was local hosting so I could play with a small group without needing to have a dedicated server

[solar shard]

true true

[crisp rain]

Probably something to come in the future, it was really nice in arma3 just 2 minutes you could throw up a mission from your pc

[west karma]

Ye

Has anyone tried setting groups to be playable? Seen that button but not touched it

[steady nimbus]

I appreciate that

[narrow path]

Why cant i see my mission in my scenarios list, ive done what the pin says got it in a diffirent folder not using placeholder images not sure what im missing?

[crisp rain]

Is the folder within your addon called 'Mission' or 'Missions'?

[narrow path]

missions

[crisp rain]

Did you copy your addon into a new folder that was used in the launch params? If so make sure you copied the latest version of your mission

[narrow path]

yeah before i started making a mission, i saw people having issues with the original place that it saved to, so I move the default to C:\Mission\MeauxCapture . So it will be the latest version

then in launch params i have this -addonsDir "C:\Mission" -addons MeauxCapture

[crisp rain]

The most common problems seem to be using 'Mission' instead of 'Missions' within their addon, config problem (not changing from default .edds for example). Other than that it's hard to go through everything. I suggest trying to make a new project with bare minimum (just base world and sub scene) then setup your config and try to get that to show up in your scenarios list

[mental cove]

So im still having a problem with getting tasks to work on a dedicated server, they show up just fine in single player and in the editor. They are also completable on the server so im suspecting this is a UI thing, has anybody had something similar?

[steady nimbus]

I'm still trying to figure out how to make it work in the editor lol

[mental cove]

perhaps related, though the icons are still visible when playing

[nocturne mist]

What is a EnvironmentProbeEntity?

[magic oasis]

my gunners now gun. thanks 🙂

[digital knot]

I might have missed the tip if anyone already asked, but is there a way to test a scenario in multiplayer without publishing it on the Workshop ?

It seems the dedicated server can only load mods from the workshop, contrary to the Reforger client

But for now, player-hosted game are not a thing, yet

[crisp rain]

You can use the 'PeerTool' within the editor

@steady nimbus I am going to take a look now at your problem, give me a few. @magic oasis glad to hear it!

[digital knot]

Game > Play game > Localhost + PeerTool ?

is that supposed to allow friends to join me ? Because it seems I can't even find a valid server on localhost, default port

might have something to do with Defender though

[crisp rain]

No it opens up a new window for each client so you can tab between them

[digital knot]

I'm afraid I don't understand

oooooh might need to install the dedicated server tool

that's why nothing happens

[fervent fractal]

Is it possible to recreate missions like Antistasi, Liberation, H&M... in this new engine?

[steady nimbus]

Thanks, I noticed that when you choose SCR_FactionManager, the only one that comes with all 3 factions is the one already included on GameMode_Editor_Full
All the other have US and Russia or no factions

[left lava]

Yeah i think

[crisp rain]

@steady nimbus ---mayyyybe---- let me test something in a fresh mission

[magic oasis]

Anyone feel like giving me a lesson on creating a simple move task? I feel like im smashing my head against a wall 😦

[crisp rain]

Like setting a waypoint in the editor for AI to move to when the game starts?

[magic oasis]

No, i got that OK. I'm struggling with creating any kind of task. Starting with a simple move task. Been trying to dissect the sample coop mission but I just can't et it to work

[crisp rain]

@steady nimbus ok just stick with the FactionManager_Editor for now, it looks like the FFA and USxUSSR managers don't like each other :P they're both essentially telling the game 'there is 1 faction' and the other is saying 'no there are 2' leading to an ocean spawn if you're blue/red

[west karma]

Can probably merge the scripts from the two or somesuch

[crisp rain]

FactionManager_Editor is a prefab with all 3 factions, so you could use that or just make your own prefab with all 3 factions listed in the object properties.

[digital knot]

prefabs are actually awesome. Even if I can't get to understand how most of them work, I can feel the complexity one can reach by using these

[magic oasis]

OK, i got move tasks working. Though I feel like i just chucked poo at the wall until something stuck!

[crisp rain]

It's very nice, you just build something and go 'well I might use this again so I can save all of these custom settings/orientation' and just drag it into the project as needed

razorclam nice job! That's how it works, we just keep slinging until it sticks :P

[magic oasis]

oh snap!! so i jst drag the instance to the resource browser to create a prefab!!

[crisp rain]

:)

[barren lava]

Has anyone figured out how to get AI to use vehicles? The GetIn waypoint works just fine, but they immediately leave the vehicle to complete their other waypoints.

[crisp rain]

Easy as 1, 2, 3 to create a prefab #enfusion_scenario message

@barren lava AI haven't taken their drivers ed course yet

[barren lava]

lol, well that's a shame.

[magic oasis]

well.. making my own prefab of a camp fire grouped with a burning particle effect and then putting it in a folder call compositions was my Enfusion peak!.......... Until i found out the camp fire comes with a action to light it..... oh well.... on to the next one.....

[steady nimbus]

hahha yeah I was stuck there all day, I'm using _editorfull for now, just need practice now

[crisp rain]

Nice, well glad its solved so you can move on to something else now :D

[steady nimbus]

learning curve here is insanely slow lmao

[crisp rain]

We all have different learning curves but the good thing is we also have plenty of time. There is no deadline or rush!

[barren heart]

Hmm if you don't use spawn immediately on groups and instead call SpawnUnits() say via a trigger.
Each time its called it adds whatever units were set for the group to the group, again and again.

Could be useful to someone, say if you wanted to increase AI group size based how many players were in the trigger defending?

Whereas for me I just have way too many generals on the beach now 😐

[narrow path]

How do i get my server to load my cuztom mission? I have bundled it but everytime i try and launch it it says game destroyed and closes the cmd, with no error log outputted.

[crisp rain]

id check #reforger_servers

[narrow path]

Yeah i asked in there some dude said increease log level then he dipped out and no one else has responded -_-

Like this is what i dont get, when you bundle a mission it converts most in to json and its supposed to create a serverdata.json and manifest json files but for my mission it does not but when downloading and opening the nightops mission it does. Like wtf is going on

[kind prairie]

wish they kept the old mission making editor

[pale cedar]

@barren heart Have you uploaded your mission file? I really would love a working example of a number of the things you did in your mission.

[barren heart]

@pale cedar I haven't yet, can do though if you'd like. I'm just about to finish removing some parts that were giving null errors in the editor.
I got a little prefab mad in places, they got nested, it got angry. After that you should be able to have an error free look 🙂

[pale cedar]

Cool, I liked your mission, and I'm interested in creating singleplayer mission, since the game could really use some.

Could you ping me if you upload the mission, thanks.

[barren heart]

Yeah will do, spoiler alert I wanted it to be two player coop but some of the code I wrote gave me a few worries about how well it would function.
So its probably best you wanna make SP at least until I work out how I'm gonna test multiplayer stuff. 😛

[pale cedar]

Well, I guess if turned out as a happy accident

[barren heart]

@pale cedar Right here is the current version I'm about to hit publish on. There is still an error if you go down into the prefab folder. Apparently it just doesn't like AI groups in prefabs so just hit ignore.
https://github.com/Biscuits101/ATG

[crisp rain]

Nice dude, ill give it a try tonight :D

[proud sorrel]

Okay, after teasing it a ton, The COMPLETE Guide to Making Custom Missions in Arma Reforger IS OUT!

I put 12 hours planning, recording, & editing, this video will show everything you need to know to make and publish a custom coop mission

I hope it helps! If it did, drop a 👍 to help spread to more folks so we can get some more AWESOME missions on the workshop!

https://youtu.be/WNL_oFhlmLU

[pale cedar]

@barren heart Thanks man. 👍

[lean scroll]

@west karma been trying to follow your guide, works perfect until you tell us to copy the endgamemode user script over

zero success with trying to figure out how to get those scripts to work

[crisp rain]

@lean scroll You're copying the script in and the game doesn't end? What specifically is the problem you're experiencing?

[lean scroll]

no the workbench wont even validate

[crisp rain]

Can you paste your script in here, use 3 of these ` before and after to format the code

[lean scroll]

i am actually watching your video now sneaky

so ill come back to it once im finished

hang on ill post the script in his documentation

https://pastebin.com/mJqhNfCw

[crisp rain]

gotcha, you can skip to the 'game end logic' timestamp as thats exactly where I start adding the script

Just want to make sure you didn't repeat this mistake, a few people put the wrong trigger in on accident https://github.com/Herbiie/ArmAReforgerMissionMakingGuide/issues/1

[lean scroll]

ah you know what this is it

[crisp rain]

No worries, I posted a solution at the bottom of that post or you can just follow the video to verify the right trigger and you'll be all set!

[lean scroll]

yeah validates fine now, thanks sneaky! your video is awesome too thanks for all the hard work

[crisp rain]

Hey you're welcome, glad we could solve the problem. and thank you :)

[crisp rain]

@barren heart Mission complete Only feedback so far would be to spread out the enemies down by the beach area a little bit, there were so many wandering the road together lol.

[barren heart]

You're not wrong, they even cause each other traffic jams lol. I'll take a look tomorrow, I think I'd just discovered the cycle waypoint in that area and was just happy to see them moving around at the time 😛

[crisp rain]

Overall great starting point!

[dense wagon]

For SCR_CaptureArea, has anyone figured out how to link it to a polyline?

[slate garnet]

Has anybody figured out the equivalent to triggerActivated?

[proud sorrel]

I was looking for this earlier, too. I think the base triggers don't actually track whether they've been activated.

[slate garnet]

Yeah, I can't seem to find any resources on it. Which is a shame, wanted to endMission when all conditions were met. Nothing that can't be solved with clever design though.

[proud sorrel]

I think you would have to define a new object type with that as an object variable

(Sorry if bad terminology. C# isn't my thing)

[slate garnet]

s'alright, it's really not mine either.

[solar shard]

Welcome to my wild world. Rebuilding the mission from scratch since two days again and again thanks to null pointers all the time and MP issues with the “Coop framework”.

One thing I can’t figure out and I’m hearing from others too, when using @sullen talon coop framework based on the Eden.et world, the tasks won’t work after restarting the editor. If you move / replace then it works till next restart.

 GUI       (E): ImageWidget::LoadImageFromSet can't load ImageSet 'UI/Imagesets/Tasks/Task_Icons.imageset'```

That won’t happen if you build your own world. It has to conflict with the eden.et as the “weather manager” does too btw. That’s why in coopSample everything works flawless I guess. Only work-around is to place a “baseTaskManager” as @mental cove figured out. That way it works in SP but not MP at all.

[sullen talon]

TaskManager must be above Tasks in terms of layers, ideally move all sorts of managers to the too (layers can help)

[solar shard]

I’m aware of that. You pointed us to that. That didn’t solve it but brings up another thought. Is this the same with the other layers and issues e.g. the weather manager of Eden.et conflicting with our own?
Should be the sub-world (Eden.et) BELOW our own custom layers?

@sullen talon thats my hirachy right now. TaskManager is above the tasks as you mean, right?

But should be the "EDEN" sub-world of eden.et BELOW my NightOps layers to prevent the weather daytime conflicts we all see here all the time? That would explain SO MUCH (and I would love you even more) 😄

[vast oar]

@proud sorrel is the video worth checking if already followed some other guide for example Sneaky's? based on the timestamps it seems to be covering the same topics

[magic oasis]

Id be interested to know why that needs to be like that?
@solar shard picking apart you mission has helped me a lot. 🙏

[sullen talon]

Do you by any chance have it duplicate? Eg. there could be one manager in some of the Eden layers

[solar shard]

That was my Intension. And to proof as soon as possible that PvE can be a thing in reforger. FUBAR reddit 😂

It will be a little 3-Mission-Campaign I will update from time to time. No so complex as my Arma 3 NightOps missions obviously but meant to be picked a part. Sourcecode on GitHub will be released too.

[solar shard]

There is the default one on the Eden.et where we created the sub-world from (as told in the C&H tutorial). We cannot remove or disable it since it keeps resetting itself after restart. That’s the thing we are struggling with.

We are discussing it here on a daily basis since all of us had this problem. But no long-term solution so far.

[sullen talon]

Check the components on the C&H game mode - there is one that sets the time and weather without the need of touching the entity. Not sure how I called it, probably something Time, Weather ish

[magic oasis]

I was looking at the script in the trigger to spawn the spawn points last night. I was like, oh shoot, I understand this! 😂

[solar shard]

I will look into that later and if it works, I will contact @west karma & all the other tutorial writer about that. Thank you.

[solar shard]

That credit goes mainly to @mental cove who just creates a universal, prefab-based one so we can use it on vehicles too and spawn points attached to vehicles. Will be in my next version.

[magic oasis]

How can I transfer a prefab to a new project?

[solar shard]

Custom one? There are in the corresponding folders

[magic oasis]

I tried to copy the file from the location to mine but I’m sure it didn’t work. Will check it out again.

[solar shard]

Or just copy my world into your one and jump between the worlds in editor. But that could cause other issues

[sullen talon]

Yeah, we used it in the official addon, so it should work and if you want to do some custom magic you can get inspired there

[lean scroll]

Is there any sort of mission brief/map objective/hints system?

[magic oasis]

I just take screenshots of everything then replicate it in my world. That’s basically how I’ve been learning.

[rotund glade]

N.B. Make sure you are using SCR_BaseTriggerEntity and not another entity such as BaseGametriggerEntity. SCR_BaseTriggerEntity has certain functions predefined that are used in the script. Using another entity type will not work.

[solar shard]

I will look into that, thank you! Right now I spend my lunch-break with a thing, Im messing since days. I tried to replicate your code of the uaz destroy logic, to finish tasks in other triggers or actions on my own, but having a hard time with it. Thas basically my code for example in a userAction, which for itself and to send the mission, works fine:

    override void PerformAction(IEntity pOwnerEntity, IEntity pUserEntity)
        {
        
        SCR_EditorTask task = SCR_EditorTask.Cast(pOwnerEntity.GetWorld().FindEntityByName("obj_primaryTsk_1"));
        GetTaskManager().FinishTask(task);
        
        
    
        SCR_PopUpNotification.GetInstance().PopupMsg("COM TRUCK CAPTURED");
        
        SCR_BaseGameMode gameMode = SCR_BaseGameMode.Cast(GetGame().GetGameMode()); // Get the game mode for the end script
        Faction faction = GetGame().GetFactionManager().GetFactionByKey("US"); // Get the winning faction Key
        int usIndex = GetGame().GetFactionManager().GetFactionIndex(faction); // Get the winning faction key's index
        gameMode.EndGameMode(SCR_GameModeEndData.CreateSimple(SCR_GameModeEndData.ENDREASON_EDITOR_FACTION_VICTORY, -1, usIndex)); // End the mission!
    }```

But thats, what crashes the game when actually doing it:

```NULL pointer to instance
Class:      'SCR_CaptureVehicle'
Function: 'FinishTask'
Stack trace:
Scripts/Game/Tasks/SCR_BaseTaskManager.c:709 Function FinishTask
Scripts/Game/Coop/SCR_Capture.c:9 Function PerformAction
Scripts/Game/Interactions/SCR_InteractionHandlerComponent.c:152 Function DoProcessInteraction
Scripts/Game/Interactions/SCR_InteractionHandlerComponent.c:509 Function OnPostFrame```

[vast oar]

theres lots of guides showing the same stuff - open eden.ent, create a sub-scene, add some logic to it, perception, AI, loadout, etc etc. seems rather pointless after you do it once... should just make it once and export, then use it as a base for all future missions 🤔

i mean it should maybe even exist built-in the workshop as a template because its always the same. the only time it will change is when a new map is added, so you load a different map

[solar shard]

That was the very first thing I did after setting all up. Dubbing the world as a template.

[vast oar]

nice did you find a convenient way to have it saved and reused as a template?

im thinking if i just save it, once i reload it it will continue from where i left it and overwrite the template-ness of it... i guess you just copy-paste the entire folder and back it up somewhere?

[random heart]

Could'nt you create a prefab with the said logic ?

[solar shard]

Exactly that. For example, in my NightOps mod, I have a world folder and in it folders for every mission. I just have a mission_0 with just a subbed world, all it’s layers and managers which I use for all missions.

I could store all managers in a prefab or as a child-node, but in my way all layers and comments are there too.

[vast oar]

if i download NightOps will i be able to load it in workbench and see this structure?

btw i played NightOps a few days ago, it was creating an endless amount of respawn points not sure if youre aware of this bug or maybe even already fixed it

[solar shard]

the 2 days old version is very buggy. Im redoing it from scratch right now. Maybe can upload it tonight. The respawn thing and the unstable task framework are the most urgent things I aim to fix.

but yes, you can download it from github and load it in the workbench. Its just not the perfect version right now as you already figured out.

https://github.com/Zealous666/AR_NightOps1985

[vast oar]

ive never opened an ongoing project need to figure it out. i mean i add the .gproj file to the workbench and load it, but it loads up empty as if i just loaded a completely brand new unnamed empty world 🤔

ok i think i got it. load the .gproj file and then doubleclick the .ent file in Worlds

weird though.. whats the point of loading the .gproj if you still have to go search for the files... shouldnt it just load you straight into where the project was saved?

[solar shard]

that would make C&H a dependency for that mod just cause of one module, or do I miss something here?

[lavish granite]

Is there a way to make a coop mission without the C&H module? More like old school one life only missions, slotting screen and all?

[solar shard]

ofcourse

[solar shard]

Do you mean by any chance that? That doesnt seem to be so detailed as the weather manager.

[sullen talon]

Yes, peek into it to see how it's implemented - it's fairly simple

[solar shard]

Well maybe I miss something but it looks to simple. I love the things I can setup detailed in the time weather manager

But I will give it a chance and find out how to configure a custom Id. Thanks 🙂

[sullen talon]

Check the API in the component

[solar shard]

Roger That

[solar shard]

If you wait around 24hours I can provide you are more stable and streamlined solution with the newest GitHub commit. @lavish granite and it’s without c&h

[vast oar]

im waiting. id love to see a well made template for mission making

mine is very very basic, basically it just has the mandatory components like sides, perception, ai, etc. really the most basic mandatory stuff that must be added into every mission

[solar shard]

Well it’s not as perfect and complex as the Arma 3 stuff we provide but thanks to ex0’s patience we are making progress 😂

[lavish granite]

Awesome, thanks!

[mental cove]

I just did this (Deleted a disabled baseTaskManager object and moved my custom task manager to a new layer) And now my mission enters an infinite loading screen when playing through the actual game and not in the editor

[rotund glade]

I'll just jump in the convo here. Basically you update the "NightOps" and we can nip the base features for a standard Co-Op, save it as a new prefab then?

Words came out a bit quickly there, but you might still know what I mean

[solar shard]

Yep that’s my Intension. I have put the basic coop stuff in my first misssion (which needs urgent bug fixes actually) like custom Loadouts, dynamic enemy spawn, additional Respawns on the fly or different task variants.

Will do 1-2 more missions with SLITLY more complex approaches. I upload it on GitHub on a regularly basis since last week.

But I’m no avid coder and no official game designer. So don’t expect too much.

[mental cove]

Ok so I fixed the infinite loading screen, (had a reference to a file i deleted), but still no tasks in mp

[rotund glade]

Nor am I. But after the ease in Eden in A3 I am struggling to get every asset needed into every mission, eeeevery time......
But yes... Cheers m8.

[solar shard]

@mental cove btw I noticed, when disabling a prefab not via its own "enabled" tickbox but via the "disabled" flag in GENERAL, most time editor crashes with the most prefabs if you want them edit later on.

[solar shard]

I isolted that scriptpart where time and weather is defined and wrote my own little one. Added as a component to my own coop gamemode, but nothing happens. Time is still the default one. Either cause my script never kicks in or while the daytimemanager from the eden.et (which we cannot get rid of) overwrites it I guess?

[ruby basin]

Does anyone know what causes this error

RESOURCES (E): Failed to load metafile of mission config image: 
DEFAULT   (E): Cannot copy image: 
RESOURCES (E): Creating bundle failed`
``` Trying to bundle my mod and keep giving me this error

[iron hollow]

did you try delaying the call a bit?

[solar shard]

talking to me? I would not know how to do it. Have no clue what Im doing here nor about the scripting language ^^

proud as fuck just to isolate the righ script part 😉

[pliant rock]

are you using .edds files that are not part of your mod? If yes, import images into your mod and use those

[solar shard]

images have to be in your project folder, have to correct format and size

[ruby basin]

I am yea, Ill give that a shot and see

[pliant rock]

ah, also the size is important, was a very crude one

[iron hollow]

yeah, might want to use PostInit aswell over EOnInit
GetGame().GetCallqueue().CallLater(<SomeMethod>, 1);

[pliant rock]

Size needs to be 576x234

[barren heart]

@solar shard I just tried the

        weatherManager.SetTimeOfTheDay(3.0, true); ```

Nothing, then I disabled my time and weather manager so only the default eden one exists and now it works

[solar shard]

wait two seconds.

1. where did you put those codelines in. At the end?

2. so you only have the default one from eden inside now it works? Thats exactly what I want to achieve since own placed ones conflicts the whole time with the default one we are forced to use

ah I think I get about point 1

you put it two times in at the currect getters

[barren heart]

2. yep looks like GetTimeAndWeatherManager() can grab the wrong manager
3. I just shoved them in my task assignment section for testing since I know it gets called reliably

[solar shard]

hmmm, didnt worked for me. I only have the default weather manager in the eden.et and this is my current code:

What do I miss here?

[ruby basin]

Thanks for the help @pliant rock and @solar shard, one last question is that how do I convert it into a edds, is there a tool in workbench or do I need to do in Photoshop?

[solar shard]

.edds are just renamed .tga actually. So photoshop is fine or just a png sending through a online tga converter is even enough

[barren heart]

@solar shard I dont see anything wrong with your code, unless your setting it to 3am then straight back to 6pm when the next section now works with the TimeAndWeatherManager now disabled. Maybe comment that bit out and recompile

[solar shard]

which part do you mean exactly, am I blind? where did you get that 3am?
tried several runs btw with different time. Its always those 09:10am from the eden default

[ruby basin]

So save as tga then just rename it to a edds?

Thanks again

[solar shard]

ah maybe cause of that "authority only part" if its not gamemod gm return...

[barren heart]

//weatherManager.SetTimeOfTheDay(timeOfTheDay, true);```
So I meant comment out the second bit as maybe you were expecting night and getting day if both were working.
But if its reading 9 in game then I guess neither are working.
Maybe try shoving the top line somewhere you know for sure runs or add a breakpoint to see if its being reached

@solar shard Is this how you test the time in game btw, its easier done in the day I take it lol.

[solar shard]

lol. I just open the gamemaster and read it from the display. But I did your variant too just to make sure.

[barren heart]

Ahh that is much easier haha

[solar shard]

Im still courious how you achieved that.

[barren heart]

@solar shard So this wont be too helpful but

    protected override void OnTaskUpdate(SCR_BaseTask task)
    {
        super.OnTaskUpdate(task);
        
        if (task.GetTaskState() == SCR_TaskState.FINISHED)
        {
            foreach (SCR_BaseTaskExecutor taskExecutor : m_aTaskExecutors)
            {
                AssignNextTask(taskExecutor);
            }
        }
    }```
```protected void AssignNextTask(SCR_BaseTaskExecutor taskExecutor)
    {
        foreach (SCR_BaseTask task : m_aInitialTasks)
        {
            if (!task)
                continue;

            if (task.GetTaskState() == SCR_TaskState.FINISHED)
                continue;
            
            // Setting the target faction invokes things so only do this when needed
            // IE due to completion of previous task and not a player joining the current task
            if (task.GetTargetFaction() != m_pTargetFaction)
                task.SetTargetFaction(m_pTargetFaction);
            
            // Assign the first task that is incomplete
            AssignTask(task, taskExecutor, false);
            
            // TESTING
            m_pTaskManagerUIComponent.ToggleCurrentTask(true);
            
            m_CurrentWaypoint = task;
            break;
        }
        
        TimeAndWeatherManagerEntity weatherManager = GetGame().GetTimeAndWeatherManager();
        weatherManager.SetTimeOfTheDay(3.0, true);
        
    }

[solar shard]

ah I see

[barren heart]

I just shoved it in here, its ultimately called from the TaskManagers OnTaskUpdate so maybe this is an server master/authority thing and you component is the local player authority

[solar shard]

I totally misunderstood you. right

[barren heart]

I still have a very poor understanding of authority stuff in reforger atm, need to work out local dedicated servers from the editor so I can begin to wrap my head around it

[solar shard]

in the end this is meant like isServer?!

[barren heart]

@solar shard yeah, if I understand you right.
and this is from the method were trying to call.

    Sets the current time of the day.
    Only issuable by the authority.
    Automatically broadcast to all clients.```

So there is evidence for it needing to be from the authority

[ruby basin]

So I made my images and save them as tga then renamed and now it's telling me Try reimporting the texture (.edds), but I can still open them in Photoshop as edds

[solar shard]

and did you do it? (right click on them in the workbench -> re-import

[ruby basin]

Now it just says Failed to load then the path, and re-import is greyed out

[solar shard]

hmpf. So I tried everything. You proved, its possible to do via trigger etc. But Im not able to follow @sullen talon hint and use the C&H script to make my own one. Everyday here, I feel a little bit more dumb 😛

@barren heart once again, thank you for your kind support!

[ruby basin]

I reimported them and even renamed them back to tga then imported them then renamed them in workbench and I still can't open them. That is what it's like in workshop, renaming them in there adds the .tga at the end and renaming them in the actual mod folder works but then they can't be read by workshop

[solar shard]

I really dont know then but using another method to get the TGA if its a compressed file format. And you checked the sizes?

[ruby basin]

8.10 MB (8,501,555 bytes) for the tga, then when I rename it it goes to 1.04 MB (1,101,020 bytes)

[solar shard]

I mean the scale / resolution

[ruby basin]

720x960 and 576x234 right?

[solar shard]

I have actually used on both, PNG and EDDS the 576x234 but I dont think that this is the issue. Sorry that I cant help

[ruby basin]

It's no problem, thanks for the help and insight anyway. Ill try and see what's going on and see if I can get it working

[solar shard]

@barren heart okay, final approach when trying to follow @sullen talon hint to use his C&H script:

            return;
        
        TimeAndWeatherManagerEntity weatherManager = GetGame().GetTimeAndWeatherManager();

        if (weatherId.IsEmpty())
            return;

        {
            Print("Cannot initialize weather: TimeAndWeatherManagerEntity not found!", LogLevel.WARNING);
            return;
        }

    }

            return;
        
        TimeAndWeatherManagerEntity weatherManager = GetGame().GetTimeAndWeatherManager();
        

        if (!weatherManager)
        {
            Print("Cannot initialize TimeOfTheDay: TimeAndWeatherManagerEntity not found!", LogLevel.WARNING);
            return;
        }
        
        weatherManager.SetTimeOfTheDay(timeOfTheDay, true);

    }

    //------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

            SetWeather(m_sCustomWeatherId);
        
        Print("Custom Weather Manager initialized");
    }
    
}```

Still not overwriting the default weather manager 😦

If we can get this thing to work I guess we are all happy not to struggle with the weather management conflicts

[barren heart]

Let me steal that component and have a stab at it brb

[ruby basin]

@solar shard Got it to work, just needed to make the png then import the png and it made the edds for me and then just had to right click and re-import

[crisp rain]

If you guys don't figure it out by the time I am done with work I can take a stab at the weather problem

[solar shard]

That would be awesome! Actually my break is over and I’m at work too again. 😉

[solar shard]

I just created that component and added it to my gamemode as it is part of the original gamemode in c&h with no own weather manager placed in the scene (just the default one from Eden.et)

[ruby basin]

I am editing the conflict gamemode to only have US enabled as playable but everytime I save and start the mission Soviets are marked as playable again, anyone have any ideas on why this is happening?

[main tangle]

Quick question, how did you open the Conflict mission in Enfusion? I've been trying to open CTI_Campaign_Eden.ent and it crashes the editor pretty consistently once it loads to around 80%.

[ruby basin]

File -> Load World -> ArmaReforger -> MP -> CTI_Campaign_Eden.ent, can't say that It does that for me, just having saving issues for my changes I am attempting to do

[main tangle]

Huh, that's basically what I was doing. I'll fiddle around with it some more but at least I know it should be possible to open that file now.

[sullen talon]

Core data are read only. Find the campaign faction manager - right click - override (in your addon) - set the value there.

[ruby basin]

Yea I know what you mean now ex0 thanks for the help

May sound dumb but I guessing from what you told me, I don't need the world stuff or do I?

[wraith elm]

I'm setting up a patrol of several waypoints for some AI, using a cycle waypoint to make sure they don't just stop when they get to the end. Is there a way to make them go back to the same waypoints in reverse order when they reach the last waypoint, or do I have to add the same waypoints in reverse to the list of waypoints to cycle?

[barren heart]

@solar shard Double and triple checking im not wasting anyones time but I think I've finally got it

And dont worry I took a long lunch break in the middle of banging my head off the wall 😛

[solar shard]

Lunch is important!

[proud sorrel]

It's pretty similar. I cover a lot of the nitty gritty details, so it might be worth putting on in the background while you work, but otherwise you're probably good to skip it

[barren heart]

@solar shard Here's the component, a small but very important section was missing. I understand components way better now though 😄

https://github.com/Biscuits101/ATG/blob/main/SPMissionTest/Scripts/Game/Components/SCR_ForceTimeAndWeatherComponent.c

You can add it to any type of game manager and set its params

[solar shard]

Will look into this tonight. You earn a cake already! 🍪

[barren heart]

or ```class Night_Class: SCR_BaseTriggerEntity
{
override void OnActivate(IEntity ent)
{
SCR_ForceTimeAndWeatherComponent.GetActiveComponent().SetTimeOfTheDay(3.0);
}

};```

Directly activate via triggers etc, issues might happen with the trigger method in multiplayer though not tested it.

[night jewel]

heyo, can someone tell me how to run my own mission on my dedicated server?

I have a server where steamcmd runs, but my mission/mod is missing the ServerData.json filei....

that's all I have:

[lean scroll]

did you bundle it in workbench?

[night jewel]

yeah

these are the bundle files:

[west karma]

Should give you an error and tell you what's not validating?

[crisp rain]

@west karma I helped him out and got it resolved, wrong trigger

[west karma]

But I put it in bold 😢

[night jewel]

@west karma btw I created the mission with your instructions on Github, but I can't find a way to get it to work on my server.

As a mod I can add it but that does not work unfortunately

[west karma]

I've not done any server work sorry

[night jewel]

😦

[west karma]

I haven't even actually tested my tutorial in MP... just assumed it worked

[crisp rain]

I'm working on a server tutorial, should be up by friday

[night jewel]

haha sad tho xD I can't test it either because my server doesn't recognize it as a mission xD

[lean scroll]

herbie i must have had an older version up

so not your fault man

you updated it i see that

thanks for the guide btw its a great resource

[solar shard]

works flawless and I see what you changed to my approach. Will be implemented in the coop gamemanager I provide with the nightops map for everyone

thank you very much for your support!

[sullen talon]

TimeAndWeather should replicate itself, but time and weather can only be set from the authority (for example the server).

[west karma]

Is there anything mission making side that you need to do to make it work on the server?

[barren heart]

@sullen talon Yeah I noticed it said "Sets the current time of the day. Only issuable by the authority. Automatically broadcast to all clients.".
Just not 100% yet what clients are going to run on various entities etc yet. I'm sure it'll make more sense when I test things on the server.

[solar shard]

Request: make the video about setting up your own dedicated server hosting your own custom mod 😂

[sullen talon]

It's dropped on clients automatically, as they don't own the trigger, so it shouldn't be a big deal

[solar shard]

Speaking of that. You commented the weather system used the same IDs as the manager. But can’t find there any IDs…

[proud sorrel]

Thatd the next one coming

[solar shard]

Yeah I studied that window. But what IDs? I’m blind 😂

[barren heart]

@solar shard try cloudy, rainy, clear and overcast I think

Oh and the rainy one has sound when done this way 😄

[solar shard]

iD == state ?

[solar shard]

Combined with the Rain prefab. Wohooo. Finally 🥳

[sullen talon]

I think it's these ones 🤔

[solar shard]

👍🏼😬

It’s your comment. So I’m just askin 😉

[narrow path]

is there anyway of importing layers to another world at all? Kinda like the merge mission function from A2/3

[solar shard]

You are right. I will add the words in to the comment of the script as long as buscuits trigger solution

[wraith elm]

Looks like the layers are saved as files in the same directory as the world, so I'd assume you can copy them from there? Or if it's an entirely separate project then you could locate the actual files in Explorer and copy them over from there.

[narrow path]

Yeah i think i tried that at one point but it then threw errors left and right but i was just figuring things out ima try that, if it doesnt work, then do the old copy > CTRL SHIFT V paste

[wraith elm]

Ah, okay. If you're looking to save time setting up basic game logic every time you make a new mission, maybe you could set up a prefab with all that stuff already made? I have very little experience with this so far, though, so I don't know enough about how things work to know if that'd be practical.

[narrow path]

yeah ive yet to mess around with creating custom prefabs yet

[lean scroll]

Just starting off mission making using @proud sorrel 's great vid. Is there an easy way to edit a spawn loadout - I'd like to add a custom combo of clothing / weapon

Appreciate it's a very noob question

Presume I need to create a new Loadout Resource?

[solar shard]

yeah thats easy. You find it in my nightops mission since yesterday with three custom loadouts.

But basically, just locatio those character_......et, copy the prefab and edit it

[austere cobalt]

Hi does anyone know how the ScoringSystemComponent works? It seems it does not work out of the box.

[solar shard]

you find the clothings in one component, the weapon slots have each an component for its own and then there is an inventory component where you can add ammo etc to specific pouches...

[slender gull]

Is it just me, but when i search "world" in resource browser at world editor, all enfusion tools crash.

Ok, its actually when ever GenericWorldPP_Default.et is trying to load thumbnail my editor crashes.

[narrow path]

yeah dont do that or save anything to a reado only file or try and delete lots of things at once these all crash the editor

[fossil crag]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Capture_%26_Hold_Setup
I followed every step in Capture & Hold wiki, and I got 0 B mod in the workshop without a mission. What is the problem?

[solar shard]

is it published? its pretty well explained and discussed here. Look at the pinned posts.

[crisp rain]

@fossil crag I have a video in #reforger_capturehold if you finished the wiki part of the tutorial you can skip to the end of my video to chapter "testing scenario without workshop"

[hazy raven]

@sullen talon @quasi jay Thank you for the Coop mission ! That really help me with my mission idea, but i have a question and a idea to propose. Why not make the CoopTriggerSpawner (SCR_BaseTriggerEntity) able to randomly spawn units in a predefined zone, with the possibility to chose how much units you want by choosing prefabs in ArmaReforger/Prefabs/Groups/(Blufor/Opfor/Indfor). This would make possible to spawn a lot of unit very quickly. I don't know how to script it but... I give you my idea.

[solar shard]

Just uploaded a new version with custom loadouts and some stability fixes. More to come thanks to ex0's feedback. Task system still needs a total rework, especially for MP.

[deep prairie]

how do i get gameid for coop mission i just make for a server?

[hazy raven]

Look your addon folder for the file Addon.gproj you will find everything in it.

[deep prairie]

this is what i get GUID 5970B9A395F16FA2

[hazy raven]

Yes i think is the thing you are looking for.

[deep prairie]

the id is the mod id but the game id is different

nvm i figure it out

[hazy raven]

Sorry

[deep prairie]

how to u set the mission time starts? and weather

[hazy raven]

You have to put a TimeandWeatherManager.et you can find that in Arma Reforger/Prefabs/World/Game.

[deep prairie]

[vernal shadow]

Are there any good tutorials out there on how to setup a custom faction? 🙂

[solar shard]

@proud sorrel I actually learned one thing in your Video 😎 Was suggesting all the time to folks to create TGAs and rename them to EDDS for the preview images. Had no clue that workbench does that for you by just draggin em in 😂

[lean scroll]

Hi all. I've laid down all the necessary components to disable automatic respawn. But at spawn, the menu doesn't appear - my character falls spawns in air and falls to the ground, and only then when he dies does the menu appear

first picture is cycle waypoint second is the group

is this how you should set it up to make them constantly cycle between those two waypoints?

[midnight olive]

Went to work on a mission I was prototyping last night, met with a nice Illegal read error today
At least WB itself and other worlds are loading correctly.

[vernal shadow]

I'd recommend just typing it in the cycle waypoint instead of both sinces the cycle activates the waypoints to save time.

This ofcourse depends on if you have a group that have some more waypoints that you dont want/need under the cycle one.

Also. You dont have to type in the cycle waypoints name. 😄

[solar shard]

Do you have by any chance the hit reg manager in your world?
Check your console output if some managers can’t be loaded due already exists (mostly in the Eden.et)

[lean scroll]

Ok thanks - yes I do have it in the world

[solar shard]

Make a test without it. It conflicts if there is already one. Solved that issue for me.

[lean scroll]

Ok thanks buddy. I'll try that now. Also I just realised - I am trying to edit the prefab without copying it to my world/project. Didn't realise I have to copy it over in order to adjust / add to the prefab. Will try both now

[solar shard]

You surely should edit your own instance via “duplicate prefab to (…mod…)”

[lean scroll]

I hope i've not overwritten the default prefabs - or are they locked/protected

[lean scroll]

so basically what you are saying is theres no need to put in the cycle waypoints into any object properties?

just place the cycle waypoints down and select the waypoints?

[solar shard]

They are locked and usual workbench just crashes when you try to save a locked thing

[lean scroll]

Thanks Zeal

[solar shard]

But always make your own copy to keep your stuff clean

[lean scroll]

this server needs discord threads enabled.

im confused on this then, how does an AIgroup know they are to cycle?

if you dont call the cycle waypoint anywhere on object properties...

it seems to be working just fine so im not sure what the issue is

if its just best practice id like to know why just for my knowledge base

[vernal shadow]

You need to put the cycle waypoint's name into the groups Static Waypoints.

What you dont need is to put in the names of the patrol points in the groups Static Waypoints. Atleast i haven't done it and so far it has worked fine. 😄

[lean scroll]

gotcha okay that makes sense

i thought you meant you dont need to anywhere

[vernal shadow]

As long as the waypoint names are set in the cycle waypoint you should be good. It saves a lot of time.

[lean scroll]

oooh so the AIgroup ONLY need the cycle waypoint

[vernal shadow]

Yeah.

[lean scroll]

that makes sense and that does save time thank you

[magic oasis]

but does the cycle waypoint need to be at the end of the waypoints to cycle?

[lean scroll]

from what ive just been told, thats what were discussing

[magic oasis]

oh 🤦‍♂️

[lean scroll]

you just place the waypoints into the cycle waypoints properties

then tell the AIgroup to use the cycle waypoint

it should repeat on its own i think is what they are saying

someone correct me if i misunderstood

[barren heart]

Cycle waypoints should be
patrol7
patrol8

and static should be
patrolcycle1

and just make the cycle loop infinite with -1 or a set number of times.

[lean scroll]

thanks biscuits

[silent canopy]

what is the component that allows a plain game manager to have the ability to use Zeus, when Im debugging locally zeus is availiable but when on server it is not available even by vote

i think its editor in editor out?

[barren heart]

Not sure about the component but have you tried login in with admin? '#login password' or something like that

[silent canopy]

i think its related to the votingManagerComponent. If you look at a game mode that has that set up in voting that mode has 2 other templates active EDITOR_IN and EDITOR_OUT which has the threshold for amount of votes to allow a game master. I think thats it. it wouldnt need it running locally

[vernal shadow]

I'd recommend logging in as admin, i tried adding the editor_in / editor_out but it just seemed to kick the person after winning the vote.

Is there a way to change the name of the faction you are joining. I've been able to kinda change it but then it just tells me "No deployment points available!"

[magic oasis]

Guys, how can i delete a mission from the workshop?

[balmy imp]

Did you manage to solve this, I just get spawned into the ocean without menu loading and on attempt to respawn just a black screen with magazine ui, afaik its identical to several setups i have seen outside of the faction key being a new faction I have in my faction manager.

[halcyon patrol]

Thank you sir

[lean scroll]

Nope 😦 I had identical behaviour when I deleted the gamemodeplain (saved in my own project)

restarting from scratch now to see if there's any improvement

[silent canopy]

nice, thats helpful

[lean scroll]

Instead of the cycle waypoint syncing with other waypoints, can it be seen as a “container” for the other waypoints which loops?

[primal ridge]

Loadout_Action_SaveLoadout does not work ingame it does not show the option on the arsenal prefab is there some thing i misst?

[lunar latch]

I dont know how i can have such a hard time figuring this out but how do I just make a mission on the eden terain where i can run around. I dont want to use the Capture and hold sample. I simply want the map and a spawnpoint

[worthy glade]

you need herbiies tutorial

[lunar latch]

Thanks

[primal ridge]

thanks for the help kapa found it out myself after long intensive testing

[magic oasis]

Oh wow, you really need the task manager above the tasks!

another night wasted of debugging that I should have known the answer to

[brisk notch]

hello everyone, is there a way to invite friends to play a coop mission i made without running the map on a dedicated server?

[toxic geyser]

Did you have spawn on camera enabled?

[toxic geyser]

You need to have a faction-specific spawner, then in the game mode set it to 0 or 1 depending on how many factions

[ember cobalt]

currently not, https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Server_Hosting

[worthy glade]

is it documented somewhere what the AI behaviour is for the different waypoinys

waypoints^

[lean scroll]

Can you rename the Managers/Modes/GameObjects without any conflicts? I would like the hierarchy names to be smaller to fit my screen

[main tangle]

I am still unable to open the conflict mission in the editor. When I open the World Editor, press "Load World" and select CTI_Campaign_Eden.ent I only ever manage to load around 80-90% before I crash. Am I doing anything obviously wrong? Is there a crash log for the editor somewhere that I can take a look at?

[mighty axle]

does anyone know how to spawn a respawnable group of ai using the scr faction control trigger? (yes ik how to respawn ais and waypoints)

[keen torrent]

Hey everyone! Just started digging into the enfusion tools. I've gotten the basics of getting spawns setup and placing down Ai. I want to recreate the ARMA 2 style Insurgency game mode (clearing the red squares on the map where enemies have spawned). Does anyone know the best way to get started with this? I'm assuming I need to learn how to spawn Ai dynamically and then somehow have the squares show up on the player map, but I have no idea how to do either of those things.

Any direction would be greatly appreciated!

[lean scroll]

I'm going to attempt to figure out if I can create a custom group somehow

Help! I keep spawning into the water even though I have a respawn point and the managers!!!

Any solution?

SCRIPT (E): No spawn point could be picked, are there any present in the world?

I've added a RespawnMenuManager and disabled AutomaticRespawnManager, and it does show the menu, however I try to deploy to the respawn position and it does not do anything

Is this perhaps a bug?

This is additional logging when I try to use the menu:

Do i need scripts for tasks? Or am i good to go with prefabs?

[lean scroll]

yes I did - I'm an idiot lol

Took me 2 hours to realise it

[lean scroll]

Best to start really simple bud - a single objective mission to begin with. Then build from there

[solar shard]

You can use the coopSample for dynamic spawn. Or the NightOps map to look how you can implement them dynamically or with faction control triggers and tasks.

But what you want to achieve needs a little framework you should first draw as a concept.

[keen torrent]

This is what I have concepted and implemented so far.

Vehicle with respawn and arsenal attached to it - Implemented (Works perfectly!)
Dynamic spawns that trigger ~300m from objectives with patrol and defend waypoints - Implemented (Worked after some stupid mistakes)

I have the basic framework for all the spawning complete. Now I just need to figure out how to draw a shape on the player map and have it change color based on enemy presence.

The CoopSample was a HUGE help in setting up the dynamic spawns

[solar shard]

Ah. I did some early tests with markers of all sort. One is in my map. But wasn’t able to achieve something similar to the C&H mod. That’s actually the best place to look how it is done.

Would love to learn how you solved the vehicle Respawn system.

[keen torrent]

Will do! Thanks Zeal!

[lean scroll]

Is there a way to place map markers (that are visible on briefing and throughout the game). I.e an exfil marker

waiting for Hearts and Mind mission :/

Has anybody found a way to edit the name of the groups that the player can join? I would like to change the names from atlas red 1 etc. to something else

[deep prairie]

any idea how to stop player from instant death?

[slender gull]

Has anyone figured out how to make objectives?
Because I am looking at tutorial scene and WP markers dont hold any data expect their name.

[barren heart]

@slender gull Do you mean the little X markers from the tutorial mission, with distances etc?

[slender gull]

No, those are just gameobject with SCR_MapDescriptorComponents.

[slender gull]

Having these would be my goal.

[green hill]

looking for the same actually

[sand belfry]

Hey buddy, you need a spawn entity!! It is located in the prefabs folder, drag it into your world as you would with an object. Just set one up and you'll be good to go.

[slender gull]

Gosh...
It seems to be partially hardcoded.

[barren heart]

Ah ok I use them in my mission along with the popups that the player would normally hold J for.
And the distance waypoints. But the task aspect isn't MP safe yet so I wouldn't use my method. Need to work on it some more.

The coop sample is where I started though, essentially if you have an SCR_BaseTask, or realistically a specialised form of one, moveTask etc.
You have to set its faction to the faction that you want to be able to accept it.
You can force accept through taskExecutors by calling AssignTask in the manager and passing a task and a taskExecutor (player task controller thing).
Which you can manage a list of through OnPlayerRegistered/OnPlayerDisconnected events.

The tutorial was fairly difficult to track everything down. You can get what you want with less complicated means though I reckon than the tutorial uses.

[slender gull]

Thanks, Will test that out.
Really strange and annoying that they don't use their own layer system so it would be easy for learn from.

[mental cove]

The tasks are really complicated I have a framework for making tasks almost done, just need to get JIP bugs fixed and then I will send it to you if you want

[barren heart]

Well damn I was gonna be doing that today, that would be awesome 😄

[green hill]

@mental cove can i ask, what would a framework like that look like? I think I should be interested in that

[mental cove]

I have some custom task classes with their own support classes and stuff, a custom task manager that takes a list of strings as an argument. And a taskMarker class, you place the task marker class down fill out the stuff about it then put the name in the task manager and it creates one there at runtime

[slender gull]

How well does Arma handle depencies to others mods?
Most package managers are super neat and you can upgrade them independently.
And there's also obselete tags, etc.

[green hill]

that sounds sweet

[mental cove]

or you dont put the name in the taskManager and call a function to create one in code

[barren heart]

@slender gull I don't think its as neat yet, it seems to just have the GUID as a dependency and therefore no versioning. But I'm just basing that of the addon.gproj file

 ID "SPMissionTest"
 GUID "59692495D59B0AB6"
 TITLE "Assassinate General Makarov"
 Dependencies {
  "58D0FB3206B6F859"
 }```

[slender gull]

"no versioning"
As a software developer, Yiks!

[barren heart]

The servers seem to support versioning so its kinda odd to not see it in the dependencies, reckon it'll change.

[slender gull]

But still, Enforce seems to take big leaps from RV3.
This hierarchy shorting still drives me nuts.

[barren heart]

Oh god I hadn't noticed that yet. If you don't like that have you noticed this ?

[slender gull]

Sometimes, you just have to fire designers...

Does anyone know how to integrate vehicle spawning into my Scenario/World? I have found these "Vehicle Rapair Points" which apparantly have a chance to spawn a vehicle. But so far none spawned.

[slender gull]

Eh, How can I make my map targets larger?
I set scale everywhere to 5, but size stayed the same.

[grand dock]

how does one place map markers?

Create GenericEntity and add component SCR_MapDescriptorComponents
But as you can see from my screenshot, its not wanted outcome.
Thats how tutorial example made them.

Hi folks, what, where would be the best tutorial for me to follow to get started with coop mission design (Not a newbie to OFP/Arma mission editing scripting, but heyho that has now changed a lot)

i dont wanna start from a template, would rather start from scratch so i can understand what is going on better

[warm pawn]

There is a MapDescriptorDefaults.conf file linked in individual map configs which configures descriptor types, in your case you could add MDT_Target and configure it there, or configure it through script (MapDescriptorComponent & MapItem API)

Im not super sure if setting size from the component attribute works, but you have no quad selected so it might just be that the default red icon cant be scaled 🤔

[blazing quartz]

The camera stopped working in the world editor on the wasd keys. The camera only works with the mouse. Tell me how to turn it on.

It’s awesome for a simple Start an we all didn’t passed that point 😉

Never tried that out. Give me a shout when you tried it.

But I’m not sure there is a lobby system and on the other hand I don’t know how the Respawn works without Loadouts. Give it a shot!

But then again, its Bohemia.

At the moment, is there any way to limit the group size of a mission? i.e I have 3 loadout slots in my mission on the loadout selection screen.

[hollow fulcrum]

Would anyone know why possibly I'd be getting stuck on the Deployment screen while using the RespawnMenuHandler? After choosing a loadout and going to the deployment map, pressing deploy just clicks the button and nothing happens -- I turned off the AutomaticRespawnHandler so I could get the loadout menu.

[magic oasis]

Throw in the spawn timer module. 👍

Don’t ask me why. 😂

[hollow fulcrum]

Ahh thanks haha!

[lean scroll]

I already had one in lol

[magic oasis]

@solar shard do you think the script you used to add spawn points on a trigger would be a good place to start to spawn a new task on completion of another?

[solar shard]

not so sure. first for all, the script causes trouble. I just replaced it with a simpler method for the respawn points. But Im looking to see how you establish dynamic tasks. BTW @mental cove who makes a lot of great mechanics for this alreay, is creating a MP task framework since at least yesterday for countless hours. Dont know how he's making progress but I guess we can all profit from that.

[magic oasis]

Thanks. I need to dig into the task management stuff more.

[west karma]

Isn't it because without the timer it doesn't know how long respawn is?

[solar shard]

thats the one thing which isnt working in MP environment on my system right now. Still struggling with other things but thats the next thing on my to-do (or Joe Malley provides a great solution, which I assume)

[magic oasis]

I’m quite sure it was exactly the same in A3 🧐
