Hello and welcome,

dialog box pops up and say “it’s not a wreck”.

Because it is not a wreck. This vehicle isn't fully destroyed. Get the Adv. Engineer slot and use ACE interaction directly on the vehicle and select Full repair (https://ace3mod.com/wiki/feature/repair.html).

 

Cheers

[Viper_Legion 1]

The vehicle was definitely destroyed, has the red map marker and all. Does the Vic need to be next to the red box? Or the green flag map marker?

The object found is not a wreck: /core/fnc/log/repair_wreck.sqf#L34

Near the flag (http://vdauphin.github.io/HeartsAndMinds/InGame-documentation#respawn)

 

I think you have an other object around the green flag closer than your vehicle wreck.

You could take a look to the array returned by in debug console:

nearestObjects [btc_create_object_point, ["LandVehicle", "Air", "Ship"], 10]

 

[Viper_Legion 1]

So I have the logi point and red box completely separated from the rest of the base (300m away). Tow a wreck to it and still say it’s not a wreck. And the debug console says btc_helo_1 is closest. I’m confused.

 

 

edit: maybe just figured it out, I’m really stupid

So the objects is not a wreck, damage is not equal to 1 (/core/fnc/log/repair_wreck.sqf#L34)

Also, btc_helo_1 is the Chinook which is the only exception, it will respawn after 30 seconds (#2-add-respawn-to-vehicle-or-boat), so you don't have to repair the wreck, just wait 30s

 

[Viper_Legion 1]

okay, well I don't understand how it cant be a wreck, a map markers was created saying its a wreck and it did a full ace cook off. I had previously had the Chinook sitting on the btc_create_object_point, so i fixed that. I took a short video (less than a minute) showing the issues. Im sorry, but im having difficulty understanding, even though the solution is probably really simple.
 

 

[Vdauphin 298]

The nearestObjects doesn't return btc_helo_1 in your video ...

[Viper_Legion 1]

yea this is after i moved it, its returning vehicle 2 which is the blown up one. i didnt realize until a second ago that was the create object helo pad haha

 

[Vdauphin 298]

You need to find what is the first element in the returned array. This is an object in the radius of 10m around the btc_create_object_point

You could use Zeus and use the ACE add editable object to find the object

[Viper_Legion 1]

The first element in the array was something from box loader. (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1199318917). Which was causing conflict, removed it and the re spawn works perfectly. Thank you for your help! Love your work!

How to save structures place by Zeus or ACEX Fortify tool to H&M database system?

This is already handle (https://github.com/Vdauphin/HeartsAndMinds/blob/master/%3DBTC%3Dco%4030_Hearts_and_Minds.Altis/core/fnc/eh/CuratorObjectPlaced.sqf#L29-L30)

ACEX Fortify tool to H&M database system?

 

Not for now, I think you could use the event documented here (https://ace3mod.com/wiki/frameworkx/fortify-framework.html#21-listenable)

Something like this in https://github.com/Vdauphin/HeartsAndMinds/blob/master/%3DBTC%3Dco%4030_Hearts_and_Minds.Altis/core/init_server.sqf

["acex_fortify_objectPlaced", {
	params ["_player", "_side", "_objectPlaced"];

	[_objectPlaced] call btc_fnc_log_CuratorObjectPlaced_s;
}] call CBA_fnc_addEventHandler;

may it works

Hi!

some people reported me that, some times, Contact DLC is required to play the mission. Of course, they have not bought it so the cannot play. The curious thing is that this issue is solved by closing arma 3 and launch it again, but this does not solve the issue permanently. 

Also, I've noticed that the mission is not using the player's default face.

 

Any ideas why this could be happening?

 

Thanks!!

Never notice this. May be you edited the mission.sqm with the Contact DLC launched ? Then a dependency has been created

Or may be when you start the dedicated server with Contact DLC ?

Also, I don't own the Contact DLC

I don't have this issue I think, I saw some player with their own face

Hello,

Here is where EMP are handle : /core/fnc/spect

Good luck!

[Easy D 1]

Hey All, I am attempting to get a Hearts and Minds Vietnam mission up and running on my server - Is anyone able to explain what vdauphin means on this page http://vdauphin.github.io/HeartsAndMinds/faction_player "Migrate all playable slot to the desired side in /mission.sqm." I am not trying to change the west or east aspect of the players just attempting have everyone spawn with nam era uniform / vehicles and get any gear they need out of the ace crate. I went in via eden editor and gave everyone a loadout with an unsung bdu /changed over the pre-existing vehicles but when spawning for real it seems it still kits them out with full NATO weapons / gear. I am working off of the latest =BTC=co@30_Hearts_and_Minds.Altis.pbo.zip I copied down and changed to .DaKrong so other than the map everything is still default for my .pbo. Thanks in advance.

Hearts and Minds use a auto loadout system depend on trait, medical level (if fracture is allowed, split is added and so on), color and hour of the day (by night you have dark skin, in Tanoa you have green skin during the day). So at any time a player join, he has the loadout fitting the day or medical setting of the server. You can disable it directly here: /core/def/param.hpp#L314-L318

 

You can change skin of player here: /define_mod.sqf#L42-L58 to fit your need

[PTV-Jobo 820]

Heya Vdauphin,

 

My community is experiencing a major issue with H&M ever since ACE3 updated. The self interaction menu in H&M is looking like this:

 

And what happens is when you use the self interaction menu, everyone ends up suffering a massive amount of lag. I went from 40fps to 2fps instantly the moment I used the self interaction menu, but only when playing H&M. We are running a Linux server, so I am not sure if this is a reason for it or not. But wanted to just let you know, especially to also see if anyone else is or has experienced something like this and maybe track down a fix.
