UPSMON Updated to ArmaIII

[GieNkoV 30]

Something is not working with FORTIFY command:

These are two screens of the same error (I suppose).

Can you try with this version:

This version is not finished !

Hi, has anyone ever had jets respawn successfully, the pilot always seems to spawn outside and can never seem to get back in.

Also is it possible to delay the respawn?

@Katipo666

Also is it possible to delay the respawn?

It will be added in the next version :)

I never use jets with UPSMON :o What did you mean by they spawn outside ?

[katipo66 94]

Awesome!

I never use jets with UPSMON :o What did you mean by they spawn outside ?

Well they take off no problem and head towards marker etc, but when they respawn the pilot is spawned outside the jet, and doesn't seem to know how to get back in.. also the Jet may spawn on a different angle than originally placed in the editor with so may end up in a tree or building etc :D

Is there a minimum size for the area for the Patrol ? I have the problem that in a area with the size of 50x50 the group always get waypoints next to them. Walking 2 steps stop and getting next waypoint 2 steps away. Most of the time they just running around in one spot back an fourth. With a area greater 100x100 all works fine! Is this a known issue ??

does UPSMON have a built in AI Skill?

does UPSMON have a built in AI Skill?

I use a script

Change this line to suit your UPSMON requirements. Just leave in "SPAWNED"

nul = [_leader,_patrolArea,"NOWAIT","RANDOM","SAFE","SPAWNED","DELETE:",300] execVM "scripts\upsmon.sqf";

Spawn_OFGrp1.sqf

if (!isServer) exitWith {};

[hellstorm77 2]

thank again Beerkan for your help

Another question how do i stop the AI from leaving the patrol zone

[cool=azroul13 14]

@hellstorm77

You can use "NOFOLLOW" parameter in UPSMON parameter:

[leader _grp,_patrolArea,"NOWAIT","RANDOM","SAFE","SPAWNED","DELETE:",300,"NOFOLLOW"] execVM "scripts\upsmon.sqf";

[jandrews 116]

Using the defense script, my AI units don't wait to see nato troops to move, in editor they move around and patrol at start, regards to the reinforcement script what works best to use this setup? anyone explain to me how to setup reinforcements, How I am doing it now is, place units, place script in unit for reinforcement, place trigger with KRONS to trigger, all in same zones as other units. does that sound correct? someone stated at one time that reinforcements need to be 700 meters or closer.

[hellstorm77 2]

this is what im using. but i get a random few AI moving out of the AO area to investigate

_spawngrp = [getMarkerPos "area0", EAST, (configfile >> "CfgGroups" >> "East" >> "OPF_F" >> "Infantry" >> "OIA_InfSquad")] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup; 
sleep 3;
[leader _spawngrp,"area0","NOWAIT","PATROL","SPAWNED","DELETE:",300,"MIN:",0,"MAX:",0] execVM "scripts\upsmon.sqf"; 

[cool=azroul13 14]

@Jandrews

I don't get your defense problem.

There's no link between zones, the unit will ask to the nearest unit to support them when they need it. I suggest you to check the manual in the info, it will explain most of the parameters.

@Hellstorm

Do you try with the "NOFOLLOW", like I wrote in my previous post ?

[hellstorm77 2]

oh i do have a group on ambush just outside of the AO maybe they are sending unit to support

[cool=azroul13 14]

But Have you try the "NOFOLLOW" parameter ? You didn't answer my question :p

[hellstorm77 2]

sorry i didnt read that part haha no i didnt but i will try it now

[jandrews 116]

@Jandrews

I don't get your defense problem.

Yea I don't either, not sure if its a conflict with other scripts, I use distance settings script, field repair, UPSMON, BTC mostly, fast ropes sometimes, But I use

nul=[this,"town","nomove","delete:",300] execVM "scripts\upsmon.sqf";

for all defense units,

they used to take static weapons and wait for nato present to move, now or at least for some time, they don't take static weapons , fortify does though and the defense units just start patrolling at start of mission in editor, not sure why, but I can post a mission for you later.

[cool=azroul13 14]

You must use "FORTIFY" instead of "NOMOVE".

[jandrews 116]

You must use "FORTIFY" instead of "NOMOVE".

Ok so for this

•Defensive squad samples:

1 nul=[this,"town","nomove"] execVM "scripts\upsmon.sqf";

2 nul=[this,"town","nomove","delete:",300] execVM "scripts\upsmon.sqf";

from

http://dev.withsix.com/projects/upsmon/wiki/UPSMONsqf

has that changed? if so fine, just was not sure. Has there been updated for nomove vs fortify? Sorry I have not kept up with all the replies

Lastly, I know I had asked before, but I have been trying to use this with Headless client trying this with A2MC SQM to SQF, someone told me to change some code once the mission is in sqf form. Is that still the only way to use UPSMON with headless client?

[cool=azroul13 14]

And this person told you which code need to be changed ?

[jandrews 116]

From another PM: its related to changing the mission sqm to sqf file for AIspawn.sqf to have HC take the AI. Its not really related to UPSMON as its related more to A2MC.

The reason why your script won't work because there are errors in it. Some of the old code from ARMA 2 won't allow it to work. Mainly setVehicleInit doesn't work at all in ARMA 3 plus it adds an extra semi colon

Also switch setMarkerShape and setMarkerType.

Basically these were the changes I need to make to allow HC to take the sqf file.

My original question was more related to IF anyone was able to use UPSMON with headless client without all the extra work with the NEW sqf file. I usually have 200+ AI units and using HC with an AI behavior script is my goal. I have not met this goal YET.

So,

((Lastly, I know I had asked before, but I have been trying to use this with Headless client trying this with A2MC SQM to SQF, someone told me to change some code once the mission is in sqf form. Is that still the only way to use UPSMON with headless client?))

was more related to an easier way to do this.

Are the defensive commands not working anymore? You had stated use FORTIFY in place of NOMOVE?

1 nul=[this,"town","nomove"] execVM "scripts\upsmon.sqf";

Again, thanks for your great work and time. this makes playing arma more fun!

[cool=azroul13 14]

Well, "FORTIFY" parameter works the same way as "NOMOVE" so I just remove this parameter.

Ok thanks for that update.

[barbolani 198]

Cool, what I'm seeing is still "RANDOMUP" does not take the top building positions. Not even a single unit goes higher than the first floor. Are you planning to change that? If not (no worries) I'll try to fix this up on my own (but to be honest, UPSMon is far away of my skills)

[cool=azroul13 14]

@barbolani

I will need more information because I just test the last UPSMON release on Armaholic and I see no problem. All my units takes the highest positions.
