GBL Advanced Interaction

[glowbal 13]

Hello glowbal, I would like to know if it is possible to restrict use to specific players?

By the way great work. I play a bit with it and love it. It would be nice if the command stop to be define by probability of authority. More authority more chance to the civilian to stop, and it case it did stop only move when release by player. IT would be nice to have in addition to stop, order like get down and disperse.

To disable for a specific AI unit:

this setVariable ["gbl_disable_interaction", true];

This only disables the interaction with a unit.

I will see if I can include a possibility to disable AIM for only a specific player. Additional orders are on the list, but low priority. Certainly a nice feature for in the future.

----

I haven't forgotten about the hotfix needed for the respawn error. There are a few other things I also have to implement as soon as possible as well, some feature requests from my community that are needed for a campaign we are going to play etc. Hopefully I will be able to push out an update before next weekend.

Sorry for the delay.

Sorry this may be a stupid question is this compatible with ACE?

Off course it is.

One of few in-compatibilities i can think of is the "Handcuff Person" (and related animations) of ACE version.

If you want this 'specific' interaction to be done via A.I.M. make sure to remove any possible "ACE_KeyCuffs" being present on player's unit..and add the related A.I.M. one's..

(sorry i don't know the exact className)

[glowbal 13]

ACE Handcuffs are compatible. Just make sure you don't use the ACE handcuff option (through ACE interaction menu).

Everything is (should) be fully ACE compatible.

I m convinced having ACE_KeyCuffs on your inventory as result you have the "(ACE)Handcuff person" action

on ACE interaction menu.

I did test a month ago and it complicates things while by "mistake" you 'll use "both worlds" for the same person.

thank you! :D

Hmm, I looked at the readmes included but how exactly is someone a "suspect" the arrest options aren't selectable?

"The arrest options only appear if the person has been arrested. These options let you move, release, hold or load (into vehicle) a suspect." :confused:

I think you must first have in your inventory the suggested AIM mod item "Handcuffs" -then Arrest action will be appear

Do you have a sample mission so that we can try this mod? If so please supply a link

We got the mod to work with the help of my clan mates like Kempco and a few others. We are currently testing it out on our Second server "Vanilla Server" which we aim to add to our custom missions if all goes well.

Welcome to check it out more details on our website.

I really love this addon, Glowbal, a more advanced interaction with the civillians was always needed... one question tho, is it possible to bind the action/button which is needed to enable the arrest command etc. to another button?

I get conflicts with my ACE Interaction key, I know, it's changeable but I'm used to it since about 2 years so... well yeah, is it possible? :P

Thanks again for the addon, dude, and merry christmas!

It will be possible in the next update, which is currently being tested.

Hello. I have a problem with the biometric scanner in multiplayer.

In the show scripts errors it appears:

'..., "_person", "_chance"];
_target = this |#|select 0;
_caller = this select 1;
_p...'
error select: object type, expected vector, config entry
file gbl_advancedinteraction\scripts\interaction\ID\biometric_scanner.sqf,
line 6

Thanks

I too really like te addon and working on multiplayer mission for our unit. I notice the script you made work on civilians wondering can this be used on the enemy as well after they have surrendered and become POW.

[glowbal 13]

Release is unfortunally not when I had hoped. But progress has been made! For the time being, a small update;

This is the Field Rations Module, of which I had shown a few concept videos a while ago. It currently is in testing phase and is far from finished. I have decided to include this in AIM, but it will be optional! You can turn it on or off as you wish, independantly from the other modules.

Main while, I have overhauled a lot of parts in AIM and am still working on some structural changes to make expansion on features easier (and make it easier to fix things!). This also resulted into some nice changes/improvements. More on this all later!

Oh, I will mention, I have taken most of your requests/suggestions and implemented those in the next version.

Just a little bug report here:

1. It appears as though you can interact with dead/unconcious units but not talk to them.

2. After giving a civilian a weapon, I could not interact with other units. I would attempt to move, put down, etc. other units but nothing would happen.

3. When players respawn, they're camelbaks are emptied and cannot be refilled.

4. The option to order civilians to exit vehicles no longer appears, and the order to stop command does not seem to work.

These bugs were encountered during a short mission using ACE Wounds, Respawn with same gear, and ASR AI. I will test it without ASR AI and share my results.

I hope this helps, Glowbal.

P.S. An option to configure which sides can be controlled via AIM would be a nice feature for 0.9.

Is there a way to low down the consuption of water and food in the Rations Module?

The water and food runs out too quickly, even if you stand still or inside a vehicle.

Thanks!

Hello, the Camelback, drink and Eat icons , Also my binded (Left Windows key) button stops working and I can no longer ARREST, no RED text at all, disappears after I get killed and REVERT back. Did you know this?

[ohally 26]

Hey love the addon!

curious as to whether there is a "setvariable" function for how quickly you get hungry, seems to be fast and frequent.

thanks again, great addon.

Not yet. I am preparing a new update currently, it will be implemented in that version, among other requests.

Also my binded (Left Windows key) button stops working and I can no longer ARREST, no RED text at all,

I noticed something like this once in my testing as well recently, though it hadn't been reported by any of my testers. I shall look into it.

[Max255 59]

As far as I know ACE only uses the right windows key and the application key, just to the left of it. Note though that left windows key is for the action to appear, as in: scroll wheel + hold down left windows key. Shows the arrest action, for example. Or look at a car driving towards you whilst doing that.

Some people do not have R.Win key and have to set it to L.Win.

Dunno if this has beed suggested, but maybe if the addon detects ACE running it would put all the actions in ACE Interaction menu under GBL submenu?

Declutters the menu and if by any chance you're running ACE menu on same key as GBL (L.Win) it would solve the issue with not being able to use any GBL actions...

[glowbal 13]

L.w. key is no longer set. Instead you need to assign a key yourself. Details are in the documentation.
