But until then you guys are free to send me a PM with a list of what modules you have down, screenshots of those settings, screenshots of the general setup in the editor and your general intent of the mission to see if I can get you going

Speaking on my behalf only, you concentrate on getting what you need done mate. I wont bother your inbox.

As a side note, I'm thinking about doing "video documentation", well more of a "how to" usage series on this, since I'm too busy/lazy whatever to really write out documentation. I'll let you know what I decide.

That sounds a really good idea imo!

Here's what i've got active and its not working. Now i have tried all kinds of combinations with synced modules and synced units to modules and all kinds of crazy combinations to search for something that might work but no combination did work. I also had tries when i had items separated by commas written down in the gasmask module since it dosent have to be a gasmask that protects you. But that didnt work either. Here are screenshots of my modules and the player rifleman who's testing the gas. And in the box is his gasmask.

@Sill2  Dont you have to have the mopp level set to something for gear to negate the contamination effects?

Spoiler

Bottom option 

 

[Sill2 1]

Yes i tried having it at diffrent levels. It didnt make a diffrence.

[jshock 513]

Got busy yesterday and didn't have time to put together the example, sorry!

 

@Sill2 first problem I see (which I gather from the first picture) is you have two Mask Settings modules, you should only need one. Go ahead and change the MOPP level of the area to level one. Put the classname of your mask in one of the three options (M50, Two-eyed, Open) in the Mask Settings module (I recommend two-eyed since you're using the S10). Though you do have the overaly disabled, so I guess it won't really matter. The other thing to double check is that the mask actually inherits from and is classfied as "goggles" and not headgear, otherwise you would need to change the option that says "Head/Goggles: Use Goggles as Mask" to "Use Headgear as Mask". And just to be complete, you do know that you have to be a minimum of 100 meters away before your detector starts detecting (cold zone radius) and 50 meters away before damage is applied when you don't have the required gear (hot zone radius). In your case since you are using the module position and not a synced object the "object zone radius" doesn't do anything. You can of course change those values at will.

 

If none of that works, I'm not particularly sure what the problem could be. So put down a debug module, enable it, start your mission get your mask on and go into the area. Once you're there take off your mask for a few seconds then put it back on. Back out to the editor and send me your RPT file (found in: C:\Users\YourFancyUsernameHere\AppData\Local\Arma 3).

 

 

EDIT: Make sure the mask classname has no quotations, just the classname by itself. (i.e. not "My_mask" but My_mask)

Issue resolved, was using the display name of the mask, not the classname. Simple and easy fix .

Just wanted to bring to your attention that the "Hazard area" does NOT affect AI. I cant get the contamination to kill AI or affect them at all. 

[Heinrich Kramer 172]

pretty sure that's deliberate as AI tends to act strange when it get's damaged without finding an enemy

 

they'd just lie down and die because it is primarily programmed to react to enemy fire, not gas

I know that and I will be pushing that feature at some point in the near future.

No, not yet, the feature list on the OP is the closest I've got to a guide atm. I've been meaning to put a video or something similar together on basic usage of all the modules but I've been a bit busy the past couple days and wanted to get this hotfix out there first.

[Tiberius_161 41]

Im really looking forward to use this mod :)

[loopdk 92]

Is it only SP?

 

When i am in editor all is working fine but when i upload mission file for dideket server it dont work

[jshock 513]

It should work MP...or at least it did. Check your PMs.

Well, myself and a friend are currently having issues with downloading it off of the workshop...not entirely sure what the problem is. It says that my mod is updated and it tries to download but then it cancels itself and tries again 5 minutes later, but never updates....anyone had a similar issue like this before?

 

Seems like a general workshop issue atm.

 

It's all fixed now :D.
