Make AI shoot only after they got shot first ?

[GreenXp 8]

As the title is saying, I'm searching for a way to make indep be kind of neutral, if you don't fire they don't fire back. And no, the "Do Not Fire Unless Fired Upon" thing doesn't work, I mean, it does for like 5 seconds after they see me.

Also searching for a Holster script, I'm using the ravage mod which supposedly has one but it doesn't work, or it may interfere with other mods and that's why it doesn't work. (doesn't work on vanilla weapons either)

Hello there is in the Forum a script by Old Grampy ,

in which the enemy will not shoot if you hide your weapon.

If i find this i'll post this.

 

Here is also my holster script - mod :

 

[GreenXp 8]

I tried your script like 20 min, but the mission.sqf is binarized, and the one I use on the server isn't, and I can't find a way to combine them...

[GEORGE FLOROS GR 4207]

To be honest , i havent really understand anything !

 

What exacly you can't do?

- There is also the mod version.

[GreenXp 8]

Ok, I'm not very good at this stuff but here is some of my mission.sqm

Ok i got it now !

 

You don't need this at all.

You need to add only the files from the mission folder and copy the lines pf the init.sqf.

 

But why are you really editing the mission.sqm ?

 

 

 

[GreenXp 8]

Looks like I forgot how to install scripts, yep, it works without the mission.sqm, idk what I was thinking about, ty.

And I honestly forgot why exactly I keep the mission.sqm not binarized, but I know something went wrong in the past and it had to do with the mission.sqm and I couldn't edit it. So I just keep it like this, bc last time I had to start it all over again.

[GEORGE FLOROS GR 4207]

I remember in the old times before the 3D editor , editing the sqm but , i don't think that now is really needed.

[GreenXp 8]

So I found the script you told me about from Grumpy Old Man  

//initPlayerLocal.sqf
TAG_fnc_captiveCheck = {
	params ["_unit"];
	_unit setCaptive true;

	waitUntil {currentWeapon _unit != ""};

	_unit setCaptive false;
	{_x reveal [_unit,4]} forEach (_unit nearEntities 25);
};

player spawn TAG_fnc_captiveCheck;

Only problem is that it doesn't work if your weapon is holstered, it's like the weapon is equipped. What if instead of no gun, the gun is lowered if that's even a command for scripts, holstered would be the best but I think that needs a completely new script ?

[GEORGE FLOROS GR 4207]

try :

[GEORGE FLOROS GR 4207]

Maybe this is better for this occaution:

 

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Event_Handlers#FiredMan

[GreenXp 8]

The first one doesn't work, or I don't know how to make it work, and I'll try the second one tomorrow bc it looks too complicated to start it now. I'll tell you how it went after I finish it tomorrow.

Also, ty for your help so far.

One solution would be to have both sides set to captive (to make sure AI on player side won't engage indfor AI), also necessary to set indfor to hostile against the players side in the mission editor, which you most likely already have.

Then you can either handle the engagement to happen map wide or local within a certain radius of the firer:

//initPlayerLocal.sqf

player addEventHandler ["Fired",{
	params ["_unit", "_weapon", "_muzzle", "_mode", "_ammo", "_magazine", "_projectile", "_gunner"];
	units _unit apply {_x setCaptive false};
	if (time < _unit getVariable ["TAG_fnc_revealTimeout",-10]) exitWith {false};
	{
		_x reveal [_unit,4];
		_x setCaptive false
	} forEach (_unit nearEntities viewDistance);
	_unit setVariable ["TAG_fnc_revealTimeout",time + 10];//will only reveal the unit every 10 seconds when firing
}];

Make every indfor and player unit captive at mission start to make this work.

When a player fires, all player group members get captive state removed, and the firer will be revealed to everyone within view distance.

The reveal will only happen every 10 seconds for performance reasons, also in MP you might need to remoteExec the reveal.

 

You can make it a bit more sophisticated, take average reaction time into account and also consider speed of sound if wanted.

 

Cheers

So, they are prty much the same, but my problem is this: https://imgur.com/a/j2VhLqC

I'm blue coming from the side, gonna kill some enemies where red is to help green, then go in and "trade" with them, there is a trader inside that house. My problem is that if I shoot anywhere close to them they will shoot me.

My plan was to make a shop with indep inside, no matter what is going on outside they will not leave or shoot until fired upon, and once you shoot them they won't go back to being friendly. That's what I wanted to do, but as more I thing about it the more complicated it gets, so I may end up making them BluFor and make them invincible so you can't kill them and take their stuff for free.

This is something entirely different from what you were asking in the first post.

[GreenXp 8]

How is that different ? It's the same thing, they need to be neutral so they only shoot when fired upon...

I thought that from your OP you were trying to do something where you don't want your intended targets shooting at you until you fire at them, meaning you intended to fire at them. So yeah, @Grumpy Old Man is right in that regard as his solution will have anyone near become hostile when you fire.

 

You could use something along the lines of Grumpy's solution but instead of a "Fired" event handler on the player you could put a "Dammaged" event handler on the traders.

--scripting is already complicated enough as it is...you really don't want to mess things up even more by NOT providing CRYSTAL CLEAR info on what you try to achieve.

Other than that, a little humble courtesy to who's try to help ya, and you're set,bro.
