There are two Advanced Composition modules, one is in Spawn category - which spawns your compositions and the second one is in Development Tools, where you can edit Advanced Compositions.

Ahhh,

I see it now. Figured it was something obvious I wasn't seeing.

Currently, when editing vehicle loadouts in Zeus with the Dynamic Loadout system, it lacks the button to select whether the gunner or the pilot gets the weapons. The lack of a toggle for this breaks a lot of the attack helis which have both a pilot and a gunner, since the pilot gets all the weapons.

Any chance of making the NVG's configurable by detected NVG class items? AKA so we can equip say RHS Russian NVGS on AI. 

[D. Patterson 14]

When I place an "Execute Code Module" does that module have any "this" parameters such as location?  

Can I do something like this

"C_Offroad_01_F" createVehicle position this;

where it would place an offroad where I clicked on the screen with the module?

Suggestion: Integrate TPW Furniture into a "Furnish Building" Module that acts like other building modules (Such as destroy building or lock doors). You click somewhere on the map, choose range or nearest building, hit enter and the building is furnished.

This is a known issue and has been already fixed in the development branch of Achilles.

It has parameters, check the GitHub wiki for more information.

Please do create an issue on GitHub if you want to see this feature implemented.

In my opinion, this is really unnecessary but if you really want it, please do create an issue on GitHub.

Well I tried my hand at it, seems to work.

Hello and thank you for your work on this amazing mod. 

I have two questions and hope the community here can help.

 

1. I run a dedicated server with exile and a ton of other mods and scripts and need help merging my cfgremoteexec classes with the ones provided here: https://github.com/ArmaAchilles/AresModAchillesExpansion/blob/(0.1.0)/%40AresModAchillesExpansion/keys/cfgRemoteExec.hpp

 

(Edit for better clarity) this is how I have currently configured my cfgremoteexec section including the above mentioned classes, however things like locking/unlocking vehicles don't function properly in Zeus.

Problem is that the mods I currently run the below mode/jip settings for Functions and Commands, where as Achilles needs mode/jip both 1 for both Functions and Commands. 

 

So how can I have the syntax to get both Achilles to work properly and not break all my existing mods?

Also, all my existing class definitions include a { AllowedTargets=2; }; after class name, but nothing similar provided with the above link - is that correct?

     

      PS: I am not sure but I assume I need to run Achilles at the -servermod parameter on my server not -mod -- correct?

class Functions
    {
        mode = 1; 
        jip = 0; ....
and 
class Commands 
    {
        mode=0; 
        jip=0;...

 

2. I would like to limit the vehicles and units available from all the mods to just a select grouping of my design. I understand Achilles supports similar functionality but I am not sure where to find it and how to configure it. Any pointers would be most welcome!

 

Thank you in advance!

Came up with something ,what if a russian helicopter tactic could be employed in Arma-to make a helicopter Loiter by setting a "360*" nose-pointed at a target while performing a circle that we can decide how far out the helo flies?   Not the same as S&D or regular Loiter .

[EddieX 4]

I decided to post this here too as i commented on steam workshop page of the mod too:

 

" 

Last night i observed the following on the updated Achilles:

• Sometimes the AI seems to start "rave"-party with the vehicle lights when the lights are forced on in Achiles, and the AI decided to stop the engine (unit was forced to "CARELESS"). 

 

• Sometimes the teleport selection (multiple players inside one vehicle. ticked the include vehicles) causes the vehicle to become posessed by bad omens, and even if players get out but the vehicle still keeps teleporting around (kinda like it is selecting the centerpoints by all the players who were inside the vehicle? Have to play more around to find reliable way to reproduce.)    --> Video: https://youtu.be/vhTGci_XM6w 

 

Still this mod helps a lot! :)

I'd greatly appreciate if you would create a Pull Request and implement it yourself, as a learning experience as well. But if you do not feel comfortable at least link this Pastebin file in the GitHub issue page of your issue.

I honestly cannot answer this comment, as I didn't make this and you should ask Kex. Also, never used the CfgRemoteExec so I have no idea. Searching the Biki could provide some answers though, faster than Kex will probably come online.

In my view, this would be quite challenging to implement. It could be done, the movement of the helicopter but to make the helicopter AI actually engage targets would be most likely over the boundaries of Arma 3 AI.

A way to force light-bar on by setting is desired,I think.Prefered by hotkey,and also outside of placed cars with it ,by Menu item,thanks.

You can enable the lightbar using the Garage attribute button.

Any way to be able to fly any addon mods aircraft used as CAS in MCC ?  It would be great to be able to play as all available planes one could use from mods.....!   It would be great if I can designate a person as a pilot in advance and have them automatically teleported as a pilot and replace the pilot of the plane with a Playable one.Possible ,add a IR-strobe to mark the target intended. 

Some way to place Vehicle in Vehicle throug Modules would be nice,if legal without the DLC.

Some way to incorporate the Dynamic Loadout in a module for Advanced Helo CAS.

To be able to use the Point in ACE 3 with ability to make rings diffirent colours to mark friendly/enemy position.

To be able to turn any vehicle/Air into UGV/UBL.

 

Composition Units.

Make my own special compositions of units,give it a name and make it show up in zeus interface.Give Fireteams and Groups their own names.Make names have a Sign oand tadpole,visable to Team Leaders only in MP.

Be able to make some enemies be invisable on the map,by order of type.Then make them visable again.

 

Set altitude for enemy air units via slider from 5m-500m.Make them not use radar.
