Getting the errors when groups die?

At the start of a mission. Doing some testing on our template. When hosting a multiplayer server, these are logged in the RPT file. There is some INS_Revive errors too. I added to your GitHub.

Found an issue with the AIC command_radio not spawning on top of the USS Freedom using the marker.

Duda, how can we fix this?

Hey Duda, I've noticed this mod only works when you play as Bluefor. I've played against bluefor and have been able to control the enemy bluefor units and not mine (Opfor). Is this something you know about? Anyone else having this issue? Thanks

Rockapes · August 24, 2015

Anyone know if Duda is still working on this? Does it still work as I'm having trouble getting the mod to work on 1.70

Edit- My apologies I found on Steampage about middle mouse button, now everything works... awesome...Love this mod Duda

What was the fix?? I love this mod? Old made missions still work when I call them up. But any new made missions since last patch....I cannot control other units in map mode now. No matter what key I push (or mouse) it won't select any of the options for other AI units. What is the fix? Much appreciated.

tmp95 · September 22, 2013

Odd since last update. This works on it's own. But no longer works if I used a long time used HOUSE PATROL script. If I use older used saved missions (with same patrol script) it works. But any new created missions in which this patrol script is used. This won't work. It won't allow me to give any orders to friendly AI units (though they all show up in map mode). This patrol script is below (sorry, not attaced to this one). I can't seem to find a conflict but certainly is one with latest update and these two together.

/*===========================================================================================
Random House Patrol Script v2.2 for Arma 3
by Tophe of Östgöta Ops [OOPS]

Contact & bugreport: BIS forums

=============================================================================================
HOW TO USE:
Place unit close to a house and put this in the init field:
guard = [this] execVM "HousePatrol.sqf"

OPTIONAL SETTINGS:

guard = [this, MODE, STAND TIME, EXCLUDED POS, STARTING POS, DEBUG] execVM "HousePatrol.sqf"

* BEHAVIOUR - set unit behaviour.
guard = [this,"COMBAT"] execVM "HousePatrol.sqf"

Options: CARELESS, SAFE, AWARE, COMBAT, STEALTH
Default: SAFE

* STAND TIME - Set maximum amount of seconds the unit will wait before moving to next waypoint.
guard = [this,"SAFE",50] execVM "HousePatrol.sqf"

Options: Any value in seconds. 0 = continuous patrol.
Default: 30

* EXCLUDED POSITIONS - exclude certain building positions from patrol route.
guard = [this,"SAFE",30, [5,4]] execVM "HousePatrol.sqf"

Options: Array of building positions
Default: [] (no excluded positions)

* STARTING POS - Some building positions doesn't work well will the setPos command.
Here you may add a custom starting pos. Negative number means starting pos will be randomized.
guard = [this,"SAFE",30, [5,4], 2] execVM "HousePatrol.sqf"

Options: Any available building position
Default: -1 (random)

* STANCE - Tell the unit what stance to use.
To keep the unit from going prone you can set this to MIDDLE or UP.
AUTO will be the standard behaviour and unit will crawl around in combat mode.
HIGH is the default mode. This is like AUTO but prone position is excluded.

Options: UP, DOWN, MIDDLE, AUTO, HIGH
Default: HIGH

* DEBUG - Use markers and chatlog for mission design debugging.
guard = [this,"SAFE",30, [], -1, true] execVM "HousePatrol.sqf"

Options: true/false
Default: false

Middle mouse button ( selecting orders etc ) got everything working for me, but you can change it in the settings / controls / command (from memory ). As for not working on new missions I cant help you there as every new mission I create it works fine, although the AI themselves sometimes don't like following orders but don't think its related to AIC.

Hey Duda,

I know your not fully working on this mod at the moment but I was wondering based on the information on first page, using init.sqf can we add a menu option, posible to change / manage group stances?

Thanks

Yes, here's how the speed menu item is added and implemented. You can modify this and drop it into your init.sqf file.

AIC_fnc_addCommandMenuAction params are documented here:

https://github.com/sethduda/AIC/blob/master/AICommand/functions/commandMenu/fn_addCommandMenuAction.sqf

AIC_fnc_setGroupSpeedActionHandler = {
	params ["_menuParams","_actionParams"];
	_menuParams params ["_groupControlId"];
	private ["_group"];
	_group = AIC_fnc_getGroupControlGroup(_groupControlId);
	_actionParams params ["_speed","_label"];
	[_group,_speed] remoteExec ["setSpeedMode", leader _group]; 
	hint ("Speed set to " + _label);
};	
		
["GROUP","Half Speed",["Set Group Speed"],AIC_fnc_setGroupSpeedActionHandler,["LIMITED", "Half Speed"]] call AIC_fnc_addCommandMenuAction;
["GROUP","Full Speed (In Formation)",["Set Group Speed"],AIC_fnc_setGroupSpeedActionHandler,["NORMAL", "Full Speed (In Formation)"]] call AIC_fnc_addCommandMenuAction;
["GROUP","Full (No Formation)",["Set Group Speed"],AIC_fnc_setGroupSpeedActionHandler,["FULL", "Full (No Formation)"]] call AIC_fnc_addCommandMenuAction;

You can see how all of the action menus are implemented here:

Thanks Duda,

I don't know much bout scripting but I think I tried all that correctly and couldn't get it to work, this is what I put in my init.sqf

AIC_fnc_setGroupStanceActionHandler = {
   params ["_menuParams","_actionParams"];
   _menuParams params ["_groupControlId"];
   private ["_group"];
   _group = AIC_fnc_getGroupControlGroup(_groupControlId);
   _actionParams params ["_stance","_label"];
   [_group,_stance] remoteExec ["setUnitPos", leader _group];
   hint ("Stance set to " + _label);
};

["GROUP","Stand",["Set Group Stance"],AIC_fnc_setGroupStanceActionHandler,["UP", "Stand"]] call AIC_fnc_addCommandMenuAction;
["GROUP","Crouch",["Set Group Stance"],AIC_fnc_setGroupStanceActionHandler,["MIDDLE", "Crouch"]] call AIC_fnc_addCommandMenuAction;
["GROUP","Prone",["Set Group Stance"],AIC_fnc_setGroupStanceActionHandler,["DOWN", "Prone"]] call AIC_fnc_addCommandMenuAction;
["GROUP","Auto",["Set Group Stance"],AIC_fnc_setGroupStanceActionHandler,["AUTO", "Auto"]] call AIC_fnc_addCommandMenuAction;

Do you get the action added to the command menu, but it has no effect when you select it? Or, does it not even show up in the command menu?

Don't even get a menu option....So I have the info correct I guess..

I haven't PBO'd the test mission just testing from editor, not sure if that makes a difference

Well, your use of setUnitPos won't work (since it need to be executed for each unit). However, not sure why you wouldn't even see the menu item. You sure it's actually executing your code? Try running your code from the debug window after you're already in-game.

I cant get the menu option even by using debug console..I'm guessing there's probably no point anyways now as I couldn't find anything to change group stance, all seems to be related to as you said individual units..

Getting setUnitPos to work isn't too hard - this should do it:

[[_group, _stance], {
params ["_group", "_stance"];
{ _x setUnitPos _stance } forEach units _group;
}] remoteExec ["spawn", groupOwner _group];

Just gotta figure out why your menu isn't updating.

Wow, that's awesome, works like a treat. I am not gonna pretend I understand half of it but it works like a dream. Thanks very much Duda. Appreciate all the help, and again love all your mods. My son especially loves your ATS mod

tmp95 · September 22, 2013

Since 1.70 Update. This fantastic mod only works if I place a limited # of enemy on the map. Once I place a certain amount (say 30 + enemy) I can no longer control my BluFor groups. I can click on them, the issue order pop up appears but once I click on set waypoints (or set formation) it goes right away and wont issue orders. Works fine with only a limited number of enemies placed. But once I hit a threshold my BluFor units are unable to take orders. ??

john111 · June 28, 2010

If we could make the guy inside not to land and get out,whenever we issue squad command ,we could make them stay inside and kick-out sideways and set speed and altitude,we could get a awesome tool for helicopter pilots to direct movie-style missions.!

Combat Formations System has what I`m after-but I would need the pilot to stay inside if all aircraft.

Soo hope to get that into this mod-and preferably get this to work well with C2 Command and Control mod aswell.

Thank you for all you`re effort and time doing this.

What do you mean by "If we could make the guy inside not to land and get out,whenever we issue squad command"?

Which command are you issuing?

john111 · June 28, 2010

I`m trying to get the helicopter pilot to position himself where I tell him and then follow me at a set speed (that I need to be at walking speed) or set that speed very accuratly and force him to remain in helo and be able to position him side to me or even -if possible-form Wedge and be able to set one helo slightly above and to the side of the first one.

If possible -add all Formations to make them "connected" 2 and 2 and 4 and 4.As a menu item,"Fly wingman formation" or such.

If possible also add a "Shoot my target" and "Other target" order.

It would be neat,now when ai-pilots don`t fear taking fire-to force a "Stay in place at all cost"-order was possible.Then add a script that makes anyone inside a set distance be teleported inside helo,as a CESAR-helicopter.

This is what I want-but he lands and get out.And I can`t issue that kind of precise commands that I need ,want this way more than setting up a Static weapon Feature or Arty commands and such,thank you for you`re effort on this mod.
