Isn't that actually better ? Also, I would like to know if zCurator always points to the Zeus Module placed on map.

Hi

Only recently started messing around with Zeus again and this looks very useful. I'm a coding idiot and don't seem to get any of the suggested methods to work?

For example R3vo's above - should that code be in the init.sqf for the mission?

Thanks for any step by step idiot guidance!

put it into an sqf file and put following line into the init.sqf

[] execVM "YOURSCRIPTNAME.sqf";

Yea, I was trying to figure out why you would do condition checks for every side, if you were going to do the same thing for every side anyhow, but I was merely making the sleep work, not trying to understand others' logic :p.

Do we need to change "zCurator" to our Zeus Module's name? Or does this refer to the Game Curator?...... I'm a little confused?

I changed my Zeus Game Master Module to "zCurator" and that seemed to work when i play locally but i need to get it to work on a server so I'm going to re-upload the mission to my test server and see if it now works.

Thing is.... the mission on the server spawns more AI enemies every time an objective is created, so i'm not sure if it will show them up in Zeus too but i guess that is why we test.........

Well I didn't name my module zCurator the last time it used that script, and I'm pretty sure it worked.

That's actually the purpose of this script. It will add all newly spawned units to Zeus.

Are you using the "Zeus" Gamemaster or the "Gameplay Mode" Gamemaster? I'm just trying to confirm what zCurator is referring to......

That's actually the purpose of this script. It will add all newly spawned units to Zeus.

Then this should be exactly what i'm looking for :-D

For those interested, here's the same code as above, but without the BBCode mess. 

if (!isServer) exitWith{};

0 = [] spawn
{
  while {(count allCurators) > 0} do 
  {
	sleep 30;
	{zCurator addCuratorEditableObjects [[_x],true]} forEach vehicles;
	{zCurator addCuratorEditableObjects [[_x],true]} forEach (allMissionObjects "Man");
	{zCurator addCuratorEditableObjects [[_x],true]} forEach allUnits;
  };  
};

🤦‍♂️

  

zCurator addCuratorEditableObjects [vehicles,true];

Your variant creates a seperate network message for each vehicle. Which will kill networking bandwidth and probably cause some desyncs.

The command already takes an array of objects. Just pass it an array of objects...
