Taylor1984 14 Posted April 4, 2018 Hi! In ACE3, does anyone know how to disable the wierd feature that AI units always are able to heal themselves when they get shot even though you remove their bandages, morphine etc? It says in ACE that medics will heal people in need but I don't understand how a medic would even have time to reach a AI unit Before the AI unit has healed itself? Is it really true that AI medics perform actions on other AI units? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theopolus 69 Posted April 15, 2018 Looking for help using ACE Arsenal I am encountering a problem that i usually find myself in - using others people much better work than mine own and not really understanding all of it.

Looking on the ACE wiki i found the name of the ACE Arsenal function and have used the following substitutions; // Add Arsenal to AmmoBox ["AmmoboxInit",[_supply, player, player, true]] call ace_arsenal_fnc_openBox; I have also tried several variations on this without success. What happens each time is the either i break the syntax and the script doesn't load at all (ie. "Depoly MHQ" action is not available on the vehicle in mission) or it simply calls Vanilla Arsenal - which i think is weird because i am asking it to call the ACE function. As i mentioned earlier on, my skill set here is lacking so i am turning tot he forums in the hopes that someone here can lend a hand. Thanks, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moon_chilD 200 Posted April 15, 2018 Well, generally speaking all you need is: [_supply, true] call ace_arsenal_fnc_initBox; (I guess "_supply" is the box?) I hope I don't misunderstand your question! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope I don't misunderstand your question! Thanks for the reply. I gave it a quick try and modified the original to look like this (i bolded the changed section for clarity but provided the whole section because i am wondering if there is something else in that section interfering with the call for ACE Arsenal); Spoiler // Add Arsenal to AmmoBox ["AmmoboxInit",[_supply, true]] call ace_arsenal_fnc_initBox; _cfgmagazines = configFile >> "cfgmagazines"; for "_i" from 0 to (count _cfgmagazines)-1 do { _magazine = _cfgmagazines select _i; if (isClass _magazine) then { _mCName = configName(_magazine); _mDName = getText(configFile >> "cfgmagazines" >> _mCName >> "displayName"); _mModel = getText(configFile >> "cfgmagazines" >> _mCName >> "model"); _mType = getNumber(configFile >> "cfgmagazines" >> _mCName >> "type"); _mscope = getNumber(configFile >> "cfgmagazines" >> _mCName >> "scope"); _mPic = getText(configFile >> "cfgmagazines" >> _mCName >> "picture"); _mDesc = getText(configFile >> "cfgmagazines" >> _mCName >> "Library" >> "libTextDesc"); if ((_mCName!="") && (_mDName!="") && (_mModel!="")) then { if !(_mDName in _namelist) then { _magazinesList = _magazinesList + [[_mCName,_mDName,_mPic,_mDesc]]; _namelist = _namelist + [_mDName]; }; }; }; [_supply, _magazinesList, true ] call BIS_fnc_addVirtualMagazineCargo; }; }; The end result is the the supply crate (_supply) is created as per normal and the action on it is the original "Arsenal" action - ie. when you select it, it calls BI Vanilla Arsenal. I find that really weird because the original "BIS_fnc_arsenal" function has been removed and replaced with "ace_arsenal_fnc_initBox". As well, i've searched the script and there is no other mention of the vanilla arsenal anyway in the script. Any thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moon_chilD 200 Posted April 15, 2018 Why don't you just add what I gave you? [_supply, true] call ace_arsenal_fnc_initBox; I mean, I'm not saying this HAS to work...but thats at least how I made my Eden Module for my unit working. Just replace what is bold in the hidden content with the script line I provided. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just replace what is bold in the hidden content with the script line I provided. Many thanks, i finally realized what you are were getting at and completely removed the "AmmoboxInit" part. Works like a charm. Final bit reads like this; // Add ACE Arsenal to AmmoBox [_supply, true] call ace_arsenal_fnc_initBox; I also had to remove all of the virtual magazine stuff (and all of the references to it) from the rest of the script to prevent the ersatz BI arsenal action or errors and stops. The end result of the full script follows in the spoiler section with the modified sections in red (at least, i hope the red shows up in the final post).

Now all i have to do is figure out how to limit loadout selections to the default ones written for the mission. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JD Wang 352 Posted April 16, 2018 So other than the chat commands listed in the wiki is there a way to add/remove budget for the fortify tool? Also am I right in assuming that budget is "side wide" and that you can't give individual players a specific budget? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loopdk 92 Posted April 17, 2018 Is this a ACe error ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Devastator_cm 434 Posted April 17, 2018 tha path shows ace, so I assume yes and maybe you can open a bug by their github Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Strike_NOR 898 Posted April 17, 2018 Just thought I'd follow up on the Ammo Cookoff thing. Warning: I have practically 0 experience with ArmA 3 scripting, and the following footage is not part of the ACE mod. It is my personal script made from scratch™, which only: Tests if the vehicle is a tank Creates a particle effect on vehicle position (with offset to match Slammer appearance) Plays a sound Sets vehicle fuel to 0 After 5 seconds sets damage to 1 I have borrowed the "cookoff_high_pressure.ogg" file from ACE mod (I believe HybridV is the author - he has been credited in the YT video description). It is simply a placeholder for now, and I am not publishing this anytime soon - not without the original authors approval. Let me know if that's allright or not. Now that's out of the way: Here's a first draft (only fire effect - smoke and sparks to be added later). !!!WARNING: SUDDEN LOUD AUDIO!!! - TURN VOLUME SLIDER DOWN!!! Let me know what you think! I will improve on this further, and may ultimately try to incorporate it into the standard ACE 3 cookoff addon. This way, we will see different kinds and variations of brewups (from turret ring, hatches, etc). Maybe also intensity. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks good however I doubt the flames would come out of the turret ring. I've heard most modern tanks have very strong rings to prevent stuff like this, plus from your video it looks as if the turret is just sitting on the hull and not connected (how else would the flames get out in such copious amounts) I'd suggest the usual roof hatches burn and barrel burn would be more acceptable than turret ring burn. Either way looks good though, I fuckin hate messing with particles. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either way looks good though, I fuckin hate messing with particles. Thanks for the feedback. It's definitely going to undergo some improvements and alterations. As for the turret ring, well that depends on vehicle design. Generally speaking, these tend to be well armored, and air/water sealed with large packings. However, as pressures and temperatures increase, things may get out of hand and leaks of flame will occur. I agree the current effect is probably overdone somewhat, but I disagree that it can't escape through the ring. As for roof hatches, the same applies. They are sealed and locked in place. Generally they won't just "pop off" 10 out of 10 times, but depending on tank design they may break during pressure buildup and vent through. As soon as a hatch gives away though, the pressure inside drops and the chance of subsequent explosion or hatch failures decrease. As for barrel burn, this is the most random phenomenon if you ask me. The barrel is normally sealed by the breech, and normally withstands extreme pressures from normal operation when firing shells. There is no reason for this to smoke, unless the breach is open or unlocked when the ammo inside the compartment cooks off. The popular video from youtube with (RPG-29 vs T-72) shows something interesting. At the same moment that the tank is hit, the gun fires a shot (either the heat charge hits and penetrates the breech, setting it off, or the gunner was startled and pulled the trigger). If the autoloader then proceeded to open the breech and eject the shell casing during cookoff, then this would explain why smoke came out the barrel. However, this must be considered a very rare condition. As far as I know, the most common way for a fully loaded MBT to "die" from ammo cookoff (if all hatches are sealed) is instantaneous detonation, where large parts of the tank is ripped open (or turret displaced). If there are open/unlocked hatches, then pressures won't reach as high and the tank will mostly burn out structurally intact (like the Syria video, where the gunner appears to open the hatch just in time to get out or, literally, get blown out). Some tanks feature separate stowage compartments with blowout panels to prevent failure though. Either way, this is just my first draft. I am going back to the drawing board to tweak the effects and add variations. I also plan to link it to the pressure intensity, to cause variations in fire intensity/size. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GordonWeedman 39 Posted April 18, 2018 @Strike_NOR It looks a bit off, and the sound is way too high pressure I'd say. Needs to flare up and down and have some pops in it. Here's a good reference if you haven't seen it yet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Needs to flare up and down and have some pops in it. Here's a good reference if you haven't seen it yet. Thanks for the feedback. I agree. This is only a few hours of work. Trust me, if there are ammo cookoffs on YT, I've seen them. I want to end up with a dynamic, emergent effect based on ammo contents, vehicle type and some random weighted chance of each variation. But nonetheless, thanks for the two cents :) It's going to take a while as I'm learning by doing. Will report back once I've tuned the values further :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
