Whats wrong with this ACM setup!?

[gopherman 10]

This is what I have in my init.sqf for two ACM's sync'd with players one and two (as part of a co-op)

The ranges are there for testing purposes with a setcaptive 1 unit for observation.

BIS_ACM_1 never works.

[Egosa-U 10]

So you got one ACM-Module and thats called "BIS_ACM" right?

You should name one BIS_ACM1 and the other BIS_ACM2.

[gopherman 10]

Cheers Egosa, but thats what I have done, including in the code I've pasted...

Danke!

[KillSh0t 10]

BIS_ACM_1, 90, 100] call BIS_ACM1_setSpawnDistanceFunc;

take the 1 out after ACM in that line, your telling it to call BIS_ACM1 which doesnt exist, i dont think

Oh and IO dont think you can spawn at 5, 20...I think the minimum is 400!

Seriously doubt anyone is reading this thread anymore but just thought id help!

[gopherman 10]

You can have them spawn right on top of you. BIS_ACM_1 does exist; thats the name of the second ACM module for the code to refer to.

Still does not bloody work. F%"&ing f*$£!

[sbsmac 0]

Just ran it through squint and it immediately picked up the extra underscore after the square brackets in line 23. Not sure that's your problem but it would be sensible to get rid of it.

BIS_ACM_! is the module name....

Im talking about BIS_ACM1 you have in that line...

look at the line again, first U call BIS_ACM_1 which is fine but then you tell it to call BIS_ACM1 which does not exist.

The 1st line calls the module, the second line, the line im talking about calls the script.

the 1 at the end of it is telling it to call for BIS_ACM1 which does not exist.

Whatever, after hours of testing I know this one works!

Ahh right, sorry I did not realise you were pointing out an inconsistancy in my code there.

Should also say, I can get a single ACM to work, its when I try and put a second in, the second never seems to work unless I put it in without any tweaks in the init.sqf

As soon as I do that, it does not work.

EDIT:

Looking at the code (with changed names for ease)

[1.0, ACM1] call BIS_ACM_setIntensityFunc;

or

[1.0, ACM1] call AMC1_setIntensityFunc;

..?

gopherman,

In regards to naming, you can name the ACM Module anything you want, the function will stay the same, thus:

[BIS_ACM_1, 900, 1200] call BIS_ACM_setSpawnDistanceFunc;

[BIS_ACM_2, 900, 1200] call BIS_ACM_setSpawnDistanceFunc;

[BIS_ACM_3, 900, 1200] call BIS_ACM_setSpawnDistanceFunc;

And, whatever name you use for the module needs to match the name/s you use in the init file (or visa versa). If you name the ACM Module in the editor, ACM1, then 'it' would be:

[ACM1, 900, 1200] call BIS_ACM_setSpawnDistanceFunc;

Yes, in case you missed that, which I do not think you did, the module would have to be named to make a custom spawn setup.

EDIT:

Just to be completely clear, it is the same for all the lines...

[1.0, BIS_ACM_1] call BIS_ACM_setIntensityFunc;

etc.

what Cyop said!

Sorry I couldnt get it as clear as they did lol!

I'm learning as I go along and the ACM can add SO much to even a dead map.

anywhoz, hope this all helps!

[KillSh0t 10]

This one works great...

I put a Blufor and attached an ACM

Same with Opfor and Independent....wait about two minutes and viola....war at its finest!

KillSh0t,

I am assuming you know that only one ACM can be synced to only one unit/group. With that in mind, the factions will not be spawned in the same area for combat. If one or more unit/group is not within that 500m radius of an opposing unit/group/faction, there will, for the most part be no war. Thus...

... synced to 3 different unit/groups.

HINT: With multiple ACMs, it would prob be better to not have one of them named BIS_ACM. That way, for the sake of ease, you could use 'Find/Replace' for renaming/adding/subtracting ACMs in the init, and you would not have to worry about the function part of the script.

[KillSh0t 10]

I have it synched to 3 different units...

after two minutes all 3 factions spawn and the fight begins.

First ACM is named BIS_ACM

Then ACM1

Then ACM2

I was also playing around with spawning different groups...I.E

"US_sniperteam" "TK_sniperteam" etc....

Placed em about 50/100m out from each unit in some mountains around takistan...loads of fun as sniper teams just pop up randomly.

The only down side is that when one of the units the ACM is synched to dies the ACM eventualy cleans up and ends...

Is there a way of synching the ACM to a game logic/objext or something similar that wont die?

I have tried the game logic but it doesnt seem to work....maybe I might not be doing something right?

[gopherman 10]

Awesome, working fine now. Many many thanks for the assistance guys!.

In the above ACM script from a couple of posts above, there is an unnecessary line. (I am surprised no readers caught it.) It should be...

[/code]

Another good reason why it is useful to use find replace, instead of copy and past, or type editing. BTW, that line would not keep that ACM script from working.
