Bad_Dad 4 Posted January 28 @Vdauphin really appreciate your help.... i was able to make 3 new side missions after you lead me to the right files Destroy IED factory - you have to blow up a cache that is surrounded by APmines Destroy the mortar camp - you have to destroy the mortar tubes and the mortar cache Destroy the AA camp - you have to destroy the AA gun and weapon cache @bodybaq i can share the files if you want them ... just so you are aware these side missions have mod requirements for JBAD and CUP terrains core cause i used assets from them to make the compositions 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keIIy 60 Posted February 6 Hello, I am trying to figure out a way to have the Spectator mode be activated when you die and you are entirely out of tickets, but have the simple respawn countdown be activated when you do have tickets. This way, the players that are dead and can't respawn can see what is going on and don't have to leave the mission when they have no tickets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am not sure how to proceed. EDIT: Using ace_specator instead of Spectator in respawn templates negates the camera being stuck, and spectator works as it should. However, now you use the spectator camera anytime you die, when I just want it to be when you're out of tickets. Having the spectator mode before being out of tickets gives respawning players an unfair advantage since they can see all the enemies and immediately go back and begin fighting them.

By default you can only spectate your side: https://github.com/Vdauphin/HeartsAndMinds/blob/master/%3DBTC%3Dco%4030_Hearts_and_Minds.Altis/define_mod.sqf#L12-L19 14 hours ago, keIIy said: However, now you use the spectator camera anytime you die, when I just want it to be when you're out of tickets.

Check the wiki: https://ace3.acemod.org/wiki/framework/spectator-framework There are some function to enable disable on the fly, also only show your side etc 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keIIy 60 Posted February 8 I managed to add a few ACE Virtual Spectator slots and this fixes our issue. Players who are killed have the respawn counter, then when we run out of tickets, they back out to the lobby and choose a spectator slot so they can watch what happens instead of being forced to wait or get off for the night. Thanks for your help. On another note, is there any chance of ACE mines or explosives, such as anti tank mines and UXO bomblets from cluster munitions, saving with persistence? That is the only thing I have noticed doesn't save and it would really be awesome if they did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
