jonesy_d 3 Posted September 13, 2018 Hello Everyone; Well, first off let me say I am sorry for leaving Arma 3 for awhile..but I am back.. Now what I need since I am still relatively new to Arma 3 and also very novice at scripting but trying my best.. What I need is a end of round message..I followed a tutorial of team vs team..capturing a sector and the tickets had bled out so one side loses..so I need a Message to display saying the score and winning team.. Also I would like a script that takes down a flag then raises the team in that sector flag to rise..as is captures the sector.. Many many thanks... Jonesy.D Novice in the making...

jonesy_d 3 Posted September 13, 2018 Maybe I should clarify a bit more..I want the mission to display the debriefing message at the end of the round between the two teams(Squads)...would like to know where and how to place this script in the appropriate file..or description.ext file..???

HazJ 1289 Posted September 13, 2018 It goes in description.ext file (the CfgDebriefing). Can't say where your end mission func is. You will need some show some more code, etc... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonesy_d 3 Posted September 13, 2018 Okay her is my description.ext info..as you see I have a long way to go in order to learn a lot here..but given time I will get it..more and more onLoadName = "Team Competition"; // The mission name in the loading screen author = "Jonesy.D"; // Authors name below Mission name. loadScreen= "header.jpg"; // Loading screen image shown in main menu 2:1 Ratio .jpg/.paa only onLoadMission = "Squad 5 Vs 5"; // Loading screen blurb shown below the loading screen image. //=========================================================== briefingName = "Squad 5 vs 5"; // Mission name displayed in the mission selection menu. overviewPicture = "header.jpg"; // Overview picture shown in main menu when mission is selected overviewText = "5 Team Squad Vs 5 Team Squad"; // Overview text shown when mission is selected in the main menu, this area is big so allows for more text then the loading screen subtitle overviewPictureLocked = "thumbnail.paa"; // Overview picture shown in main menu when mission is selected overviewTextLocked = "Squad Vs Squad"; // Same as above but only shows if the player is unable to play the mission due to it being locked. e.g Not unlocked the correct keys. //=========================================================== /* This is a multi-line comment. respawn = "BASE"; //This is the respawn type that you want to use in your mission check https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Description.ext#respawn for more info. respawnTemplates[] = {"MenuPosition","MenuInventory"}; // Respawn templates for when player respawns check https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Respawn#Respawn_Templates for more info. respawndelay = 5; //Time in seconds between the player dying and the time the player respawns. */ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HazJ 1289 Posted September 13, 2018 First off. Your respawn won't run as it is commented out (inside multi comment). Add the CfgDebriefing code in description.ext file (at end, though doesn't really matter where). I usually have header stuff then respawn, #include, CfgFunctions, CfgSounds, etc. So on, so fourth. What variable is used for each side's tickets? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wow, that explanation went over my head..lol..could you show an example of how you would setup #include CfgFuntions CfgSounds here is the modified description file now..is this okay??? onLoadName = "Team Competition"; // The mission name in the loading screen author = "Jonesy.D"; // Authors name below Mission name. loadScreen= "header.jpg"; // Loading screen image shown in main menu 2:1 Ratio .jpg/.paa only onLoadMission = "Squad 5 Vs 5"; // Loading screen blurb shown below the loading screen image. //=========================================================== briefingName = "Squad 5 vs 5"; // Mission name displayed in the mission selection menu. overviewPicture = "header.jpg"; // Overview picture shown in main menu when mission is selected overviewText = "5 Team Squad Vs 5 Team Squad"; // Overview text shown when mission is selected in the main menu, this area is big so allows for more text then the loading screen subtitle overviewPictureLocked = "thumbnail.paa"; // Overview picture shown in main menu when mission is selected overviewTextLocked = "Squad Vs Squad"; // Same as above but only shows if the player is unable to play the mission due to it being locked. e.g Not unlocked the correct keys. //=========================================================== respawn = "BASE"; //This is the respawn type that you want to use in your mission check https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Description.ext#respawn for more info. respawnTemplates[] = {"MenuPosition","MenuInventory"}; // Respawn templates for when player respawns check https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Respawn#Respawn_Templates for more info. respawndelay = 5; //Time in seconds between the player dying and the time the player respawns. class CfgDebriefing { class disconnected { title = "Disconnected"; subtitle = ""; description = ""; picture = ""; pictureBackground = ""; pictureColor[] = {1, 1, 1, 1}; }; }; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonesy_d 3 Posted September 13, 2018 Okay the respawn now works..thanks didn't notice that before.. the endMission didn't show up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HazJ 1289 Posted September 13, 2018 What? You need to read what I said then read the Wiki. It won't magically work for you. I also asked you to show some more code that handles tickets + ending. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HazJ 1289 Posted September 14, 2018 It won't end until you change the boolean variable to true. missionEnded = true; // OR missionEnded = "ended"; // depends on which you are using in condition I suggest you use the boolean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HazJ 1289 Posted September 14, 2018 It is like you don't read what I say. Just note that I will only try to help for so long. 1 hour ago, HazJ said: Change condition: ... tickets code ... && !missionEnded // OR ... tickets code ... && !(missionStatus isEqualTo "inProgress") // you had spaces before The don't set the variable boolean to true in the condition. That wouldn't make any sense. You can have another trigger and use the condition like: [blufor, nil] call BIS_fnc_respawnTickets >= 100 // blufor is same as west, feel free to change 100 or whatever you want // >= greater than or equal to What I would do is: // initServer.sqf waitUntil {[blufor, nil] call BIS_fnc_respawnTickets >= 100}; "missionEnded" call BIS_fnc_endMissionServer; No need for missionEnded variable now. No need for forceEnd or BIS_fnc_endMissionServer in the trigger. If you do it the initServer way. Also, I am not having a go at you. Just try to read a bit more. I pretty much wrote the exact condition for you and answer. You would of got it if you tried a few times at least. I'm always down to help people but when people don't help themselves / try.

jonesy_d 3 Posted September 14, 2018 In one of the triggers I have this..

I assumed it is for the ending. Create initServer.sqf in root folder. If not one already.
