bachbui47 0 Posted June 26 Hi Pierrmgi, I'm completely new to the game and I like playing SP scenarios only I like the ReArm module you made but I honestly dont know what to do to "turn it on" in game also, the Antistasi scenario has this auto rearm/loot button, does this conflict with your module? Edit: I found out how to activate it, and I also tried messing around with the code to make the AIs go find ammo when they have less than 60 rounds, so far I havent made it work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Komodo-1 5 Posted June 26 Hi Pierre, seems like the Heal and Revive gives some CUP units extra health/armor. Was testing it and found I need to empty almost half a clip as headshots at them to go into unconscious state:https://streamable.com/if6ezihttps://streamable.com/tg4nul Modlist:https://imgur.com/02FPgBZ Module settings:https://imgur.com/jqwUAFy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's the case for any AI you want to heal, just because I handle damages before the unit die. I'm not able to fix that at this moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

schulz 10 Posted June 28 Hey Pierre, is it possible to make a rearm-module for choppers or planes? When an AI aircraft is low on ammo or maybe fuel, they will return to base, land, rearm and go back to work? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When an AI aircraft is low on ammo or maybe fuel, they will return to base, land, rearm and go back to work? Nope Rearm module is made for AI infantry, with some conditions, main of them the ammo count in primary weapon. The idea was to see some AIs going to corpses, crates or abandoned weapons, reloading/taking another primary weapon, then continue the fight. For vehicles, it's something different. It's easy to script for rearming aircraft when low on ammo (without return to air base). A kind of infinite ammo or a replenishment when low. Only the second case is worth returning base. I tried something like that for UAV and it was such a disaster I had to let them in flight and play with simulation and visibility. Not sure I'll script for an extra module, just for the satisfaction to know an AI aircraft can return to base for refueling/rearming/repairing. Most of the time, you'll not see this action and it's resource demanding for poor immersion. Not saying some airports are rotten for safe AI landings (depending on maps, mods...). That said, I can help for a specific script for a scenario. No need for a module, so far. (compliant for vehicles, sides, bases, ammos,...) Spoiler Note : I created a spawn attack group which allows repeatable action (or even full script), under some custom conditions. No matter the fact it's the same vehicle or not, just spawning in due area, flying to do something, returning and/or deleted in due time/position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
schulz 10 Posted June 28 Thank you for your reply. I already guessed it would be too much effort for too little effect. and yeah some maps are not really airplane friendly 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Komodo-1 5 Posted July 4 Hi Pierre, i tried the Rearm module and for some reason the AI are not able to rearm. I have removed all ammo and put compatible ammo in a supply crate in front them (30 mags, FAKs, RPG ammo). They seem not to automatically rearm unless I tell them manually.

The fact is you need to wait for a low on ammo for primary weapon of the AIs (chosen in module of course). All other solution like no ammo (so the unit can't fire and act the event handler "fired"), or without primary weapon (for same reason) can't work. You need to make the unit fire (mandatory), reach a low on ammo for primary weapon (mandatory, there is no check of secondary or handgun weapon before that), be within a radius of a corpse / crate/ dropped weapon, filled with compatible mags, or another primary weapon (2nd choice).

avibird 1 154 Posted July 9 @Komodo-1 I don't want to hijack this thread. Pierremgi worked very hard on these modules that should have been incorporated in the vanilla game from Bohemia. With that said I have a unlimited ammo script that never lets a player or AI unit to have no ammo magazines for rifles pistols and launchers it works with most modified weapons as well. It will add one magazine or round when there is none left in the inventory. I play with a lot of AI under my command. It is a logistical nightmare to micromanage a lot of AI in a mission. If this is something that you can use I will certainly post the code block. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will add one magazine or round when there is none left in the inventory. Not so immersive and realistic. AIs or players don't have anything to do. If you need such infinite ammos, it's straight and simple: // in init.sqf (or even a trigger (NOT server only) set to TRUE as condition, without comments//): MGI_fn_infAmmo = compile " params ['_unit','_muzzle']; _unit setAmmo [_muzzle,(_unit ammo _muzzle) + 1]; "; // for edited units { _x addEventHandler ["FiredMan",{ params ["_unit","","_muzzle"]; [_unit,_muzzle] spawn MGI_fn_infAmmo }] } foreach allUnits; // for spawned units addMissionEventHandler ["entityCreated", { params ["_entity"]; if (_entity isKindOf "CAManBase") then { _entity addEventHandler ["FiredMan",{ params ["_unit", "", "_muzzle"]; [_unit,_muzzle] spawn MGI_fn_infAmmo }] }; }]; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
avibird 1 154 Posted July 11 Agree to disagree on this. Now if you are playing with only human players then no. no need for it but if you are playing with the majority of AI teammates then yes. I don't find it unrealistic because the AI is still lacking the ability to rearm itself or rearm in a safe manner. AI will run out in a middle of a field surrounded by enemy units to rearm at a ammo crate that got dropped. Nothing's worse when you're almost done with a 2-hour mission and a tank rolls up on your squad and nobody has any rounds left to deal with the tank. It is a pain in the ass to micromanage a large group of AI units in a dynamic mission. Just my view. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pierremgi 4817 Posted July 11 Yep! Difficult to satisfy everybody on every contexts. 8 minutes ago, avibird 1 said: AI will run out in a middle of a field surrounded by enemy units to rearm at a ammo crate that got dropped. Reaming or fleeing, that's the question. Doing nothing is the worst case, imho. Fleeing is something you can manage by setSkill command on "courage" , independently from the ability for reloading. Each time I use my module, AIs don't jump at once on a crate. I have a very little idea about all Vanilla FSMs involved on the way an AI manages targets, then prioritizes them, then chooses among its weapons. The way my module runs for possible rearming on corpses or else is not perfect, but not too bad (some priorities are done, like distance to magazines of course). Obviously, it's always frustrating when a unit is shot trying to pick something in a crate. No realistic? Well, if you consider, Vanilla arma with a poor order from player asking to rearm or take a weapon, in a big menu list, without any sort and any idea about the position of this possible rearming, there is a huge gap for improvements. 🤣 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
07 CC-6757 TALON 0 Posted July 11 Hey Pierre MGI. First off I love your mod.

Side note we have 60 player slots OK. Could you tell me more about what happens? Do you have a vanilla drop? Is this for all players or JIP only? (OK for player(s) who triggers and/or present, but not joining after the drop...) Which other mods are you using? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
