I still uses upsmon in some of my missions, as far as i know, it still works fine. I have no trouble or errors in my missions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
avibird 1 36 Posted February 26, 2018 Just want back to some old missions and attempted to use UPMONS can't get it to work now. Did the last update break the script? Could anyone confirm or deny if it still works with Arma3. Thanks Avibird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
avibird 1 36 Posted March 3, 2018 Could anyone confirm or deny that upmons is now broken for Arma 3. I have multiple missions that seems to be broken now and I can't get my demo of this script to run now!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pokertour 30 Posted March 8, 2018 still working for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
avibird 1 36 Posted March 8, 2018 @pokertour do you know what version you're using ? I have multiple versions that are not working and I even redownload it from armaholic still not working. I've used this script for years so know how to implement it. Could you give me a simple demo Mission with the script version you have on your PC. I have a dozen missions that I can't get to work now because of the script not working for me. Avibird Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pokertour 30 Posted March 10, 2018 @avibird 1 i use the last one 6.0.9.5 there it is : https://drive.google.com/open?id=15RyGDSdP5GOQYIdsT4YtKGHBvpgBUcMs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
avibird 1 36 Posted April 28, 2018 @pokertour by the way thank you for the link a little late response from me lol. I am still having issues with the script it works but a very long delay before the units start with the waypoints within the UPmons zones via markers. It was never like this before. I don't know with all the updates if something needs to be correct it so the units will move at the start of the mission we are talking about a few minutes here before the groups get activated. Also In the demon you link above there is a additional folder/file called Filename: fn_fasttravel.sqf Author: Kellojo Description: Fast Travel main function - Part of the ETG script collection /* Filename: fn_fasttravel.sqf Author: Kellojo Description: Fast Travel main function - Part of the ETG script collection */ _mode = [_this, 0, 0, [0]] call BIS_fnc_param;

Has anyone have this issue with the waypoints in the upmons zones being very delayed following the start of the mission. I have a lot of old missions that use upmons that I am attempting to update but have this issue now. Avibird Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jandrews 116 Posted April 28, 2018 at one time this was a great AI mod. Not too sure about it now. You may want to consider using other patrol scripts if this has not / will not be updated. I use a combo of different AI scripts to do what i need. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
avibird 1 36 Posted April 28, 2018 @jandrews Yes I know I use a bunch of different ones as well. Here are my top ten not in any Particular order they are all good for different things and mission designs. 1.UPMONS by Monsada 2. Urban Patrol Script by Kronzky 3. Ultra Simple Patrol Script by JW Custom 4. Jebus by DreadPirate 5. AI spawn script 6.Enemy Occupation System by BangaBob 7. Dynamic-AI-Creator [DAC] I Don't think this works anymore 8. SLP_spawn created by Nomad 9. mauk_spawn by Murklor (editor spawn by trigger waypoints) very similar to JEBUS by very simple 10.Mission Template Stand Alone GAIA - Make missions FAST by using MCC GAIA engine By spirit6 What do you use ? The issue is I don't want to have to editor over a dozen missions that have UPMONS in it. IT still works but over 2 minutes until the groups gets its first waypoints then all good.

avibird 1 36 Posted April 28, 2018 The good news after all the Arma3 updates the script still works. The bad new there was a proximately 2 minute delay before units will initiate any waypoints within the UPMONS zones. This is not a mission killer but air units and armor could be somewhat problematic in a initiation delay for some Mission designs. There are a few error messages I'm receiving perhaps that is the culprit. It's probably over my head but I am going to give it a shot ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
avibird 1 36 Posted May 9, 2018 I would like to hear from anyone who still using the script. There is a significant delay with script initiation approximately 2 minutes before anyway points will be generated at mission start. Infantry units work good with all the bells and whistles that the script had AI units use smoke to cover their tracks. End of infantry units will Garrison buildings infantry Patrol units work as they should. Most armor unts will not work. Armor units with only two crew members will. Mechanized units the crew will abandoned the vehicle and moving to formation with the rest of the group when contact is made. Could anyone else confirm or deny this. I know there are new Patrol scripts out there but I would like to keep my old missions intact. Avibird Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mirek 166 Posted April 23, 2020 Is this script still working? i tried to use it but iam getting: ...grp"]; _unit = _this select 0 _grp = |#|group _unit; _Leader = leader (_grp); i...' Error group: Type Group, expected object file c:\xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\scripts\UPSMON\COMMON\Group\fnc\UPSMON_SetLeaderGrp.sqf..., line 16 And the markers on map do not disappear, and the units dont do what i would expect them to do.

Mirek 166 Posted April 26, 2020 Ok the script still works somehow , but it gives an error and takes about a minute after the mission init, to initialize the script. I think iam going to try GAIA for my next mission instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jgaz-uk 132 Posted April 30, 2021 the only problem I'm getting with the last version of UPSMON_6095 is with spawning units; it always says divisor error line 48 of the upsmon_pos_fnc_isinellipse.sqf something about Error Zero divisor, Anyone know of a fix? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jgaz-uk 132 Posted February 11, 2022 Sadly UPSmon now seems very buggy these days. For me it does not seem to work with ACE & often even without ACE, if you use some of the extended options in a mission, then the units just stand in place & dont move at all. Pity whoever first made this has sopped maintaining it Does GAIA work OK Mirek? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
