Alex150201 894 Posted February 6, 2016 Hello everyone, on the BIS wiki I found this command: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/unlockAchievement I can't get it to work though for obvious reasons. Who can tell me more about it? ^_^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ineptaphid 6413 Posted February 6, 2016 Huh...interesting.Never saw that before-seems like something a player would not be able to use...maybe it's just for Devs and was added to the wiki accidentally? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex150201 894 Posted February 6, 2016 It can't have been added on the wiki accidentally, BIS added it but they don't give us information on how to use the command to unlock the achievements. Maybe someone knows the classnames for the achivements and wants to give them away? If so write them here! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex150201 894 Posted February 6, 2016 That's not cheat, that's knowledge. ^^^^^^My man^^^^^^ plus I have most of the achievements, there are some I can't get because I don't have the dlcs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
austin_medic 109 Posted February 6, 2016 I think that only existed back when they were GOING to have the achievements be config based (check the config viewer for cfgAchievements, theres a couple of them in there). Then that got moved over to engine side and the commands were left over bits that probably do nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then that got moved over to engine side and the commands were left over bits that probably do nothing. I am going to check over there for anything left behind. Feel bad for anyone who cares about achievements I don't see why you feel bad. I am personally an achievement hunter in games. It's my decision to go after achievements. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ranwer135 308 Posted February 7, 2016 Well obviously they don't want everyone to be like unlocking all the achievements in under 5 minutes, waving 'Hey guys, I finished the game in under an hour! Piece of cake'. I guess this is the other reason BIS wanted ArmA 3 to be on Steam (no offense for Origin users :P ), because it gives players a goal to complete something during their time in Arma.

I will agree with you bud, I am an achivement hunter in games and I try to get all the achievements I can when i play a game but unfortunately some achievements in arma 3 have to do with the DLCs which I don't own.

fn_Quiksilver 1633 Posted February 7, 2016 Most platforms require achievements. IE game devs cant put a game on Sony PS4 without achievements, same with Steam/etc. BIS was probably required by Steam to put the achievements in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TedHo 53 Posted February 9, 2016 It would be interesting if the command still works for existing CfgAchievements entries. Being able to define custom achievements would be cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moricky 210 Posted February 10, 2016 This is an obsolete command used in experimental Arma 2 Xbox 360 version. It doesn't work in Arma 3, unlocking Steam Achievements is handled directly in the engine. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
