cpt.ghost 104 Posted March 5, 2020 1 hour ago, nkenny said: @cpt.ghost Glad you like it. I am guessing you are running an op with a considerable number of armoured elements? The AI will respond with much improved sense of self-preservation. 1. The only instance which triggers a change in behaviour to STEALTH mode is when the AI is fleeing. Fleeing is a vanilla behaviour which is enhanced by the mod to have the AI view buildings and bushes as valid places to stop. One way to mitigate this behaviour, if you want better control of the AI, is to set allowFleeing to 0. It is admittedly an imperfect implementation on our end as it can be difficult to get fleeing units to unflee. 2. While I have seen units disembarking early, from time to time, this is much mitigated with the latest version. Units becoming stuck is however new. Is this on some custom terrain? What orders/waypoints are the units under? 3. This I have not seen. I see you are playing with a long list of modded content. Can you verify that this works without the mod loaded? 4. As per (1). Come to think of it, we should add a setting for the Fleeing too. -k thanks for response! 1/2 - i actually have fleeing,information share,squad leader maneuvers disabled, as for the mission i made a quick OP to test the AI actions, map is altis/kavala placed 5 motorized NATO units + 6 mechanized nato units too ( 300m away from hospital ) while the enemy is CSAT holding the city center the other NATO units i placed is 7 fireteams which comes from church side of the kavala i gave them CQB waypoints ( 90% died ) the mechanized units moves towards the hospital - unload - then LAMBS CQB waypoint inside the city center 3- will try on vanilla and report 4- i though that too you could implement some kind of script which ends ( FORCEFULLY ) the hide/stealth mode after checking of a threat within 500-600m away this is better i think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nkenny 1051 Posted March 5, 2020 @cpt.ghost I have added it to our to-look-at list. Quick fix is to write <group> allowFleeing 0; in the relevant units inits. In fact the function should already have a max distance. But as mentioned, it is difficult -- if not impossible -- to unflee units by script once they've started. -k 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Melody_Mike 130 Posted March 5, 2020 @nkenny Hello sir! Need to first of all say: thank you for spending your free time making this, and then answering all these support questions. I followed your suggestion on using standalone scripts from your GitHub to enable building searching:https://github.com/nk3nny/taskRush-Creep-Hunt-for-Arma3 However, after copying, executing the script function with the following syntax has no effect: null = [someUnit, 500] execVM "fn_taskCQB.sqf"; Where the target group was named "SomeUnit" and placed between buildings. I also tried preprocessing the file beforehand. I looked at the Github, and see on line 24: _building = _building select {count (_x getVariable ["LAMBS_CQB_cleared_" + str (side _group),[0,0]]) > 0}; -That the script refers to special variables not declared anywhere else in the file. So it seems it isn't an independent script. Before I go down a rabbit hole, I want to ask: is it realistic to unpack the mod and run the necessary scripts independently in a mission? Or does it require the mod framework/configs? Thanks! -MeM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nkenny 1051 Posted March 5, 2020 @Melody_Mike I'll answer here, but if it still fails to work please redirect to this thread. 🙂The script works for me on Altis. I have however updated on the gitHub to 0.28b. Just a little bit of cleanup on my end. Script seems to run quite well when execVM'ed. It is worth noting that the script sorts for only internal positions within buildings. The variable you are asking about is defined in line 55. You can edit this line to alter if only indoor sites are selected. Which map are you running this on? It may be one without defined building positions and paths.. Especially older Arma1 content ported into CUP or similar has this problem. Oh, and I'm happy to help. hehe There is no need to unpack the mod. Just check the gitHub. It isn't difficult, but will require some familiarity with arma scripting and modding. The modded version is both more advanced and performance friendly, but if used will require you to comply with the license. -k Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mandaloin 33 Posted March 15, 2020 Hey there! Enjoying the mod but I've run into a bit of a frustration. My group took contact, eliminated it, and moved on. Afterwards 2 of the units in my group would periodically show "Stop" as their current command. It only lasted momentarily and that appeared to be them checking the rear every now and then. That's cool, but then when I issued them a move command, that same periodic "Stop" command would pop up, which caused them to lose the "Move" command I just gave them and returned to formation.

nkenny 1051 Posted March 15, 2020 @mandaloin It may be the reaction state interfering with your commands. You can enable or disable a number of player group features (to create more dependable units) in the CBA mod settings. It is also possible to configure a key to hot-toggle the LAMBS mod for your own group-- so if you need them moving, just toggle it and do your thing 🙂 -k Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Many of the core component scripts and waypoints have been updated, rewritten or enhanced. Which feeds into the biggest new addition: the new MODULE system. The module system adds an easy way to use and configure the enhanced AI waypoints and scripts available in the mod. The modules integrate seamlessly to both ZEUS and 3DEN. This system supersedes and enhances the original waypoints in many ways. We've also added a new TaskCamp module. This script makes the group appear safe and dismissed and is perfect for camps or having troops just sitting around. Units set to taskCamp will occasionally garrison buildings and man static weapons. If the group is large enough a small patrol will check the Discord Got questions, suggestions or other feedback? Come hang with the cool kids on our Discord.

TesACC 39 Posted March 19, 2020 Question- is there any way to run this, or even just a part of it, as a script? Reason- Community doesn't want to add new mods that overhaul everything for a single mission Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

galzohar 31 Posted March 22, 2020 Did anyone hack something to make ALIVE use the new waypoints? Otherwise I'll try pull something off myself, but was hoping someone would have beaten me to it. Currently from a quick test it looks great but unfortunately AI don't get in buildings before combat, only once they spot an enemy (and in my tests only to hunt me inside a building, but I didn't test much yet). They do seem a bit aggressive though for getting into your building, which makes them a bit predictable. Do they also try in some cases to get a firing position into the building from the outside rather than charge in to make them less predictable? Also, what happens to taskGarrison if the unit gets killed/deleted before it reaches its target? There seems to be no null checking? Would this fail or somehow work? Also maybe a timeout would be appropriate (for example if unit might loop, or get into contact, or get a different order by some other script)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mjolnir66 48 Posted April 6, 2020 Would it be possible to change the radio ranges so that you can take them all the way down to say, 50m? I don't want to completely disable information sharing as it can break missions, but I also don't want groups stood next to a firefight ignoring it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nkenny 1051 Posted April 6, 2020 @mjolnir66 Actually ran into the same issue the other day when I wanted to do a low tech mission. Will expand the range these things can be toggled in the CBA setting in future versions. 🙂 Until then you can either manually update your CBA_settings.sqf file. Google it if you are not familiar. Or change the variable directly. In either cases the variables are: lambs_danger_radio_shout = <number>; lambs_danger_radio_GUER = <number>; lambs_danger_radio_EAST = <number>; lambs_danger_radio_WEST = <number>; Come to think of it you could do a pretty cool mission so when you destroy a radio antenna (or similar) you equally destroy the enemies ability to use radio. -k 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drdetroit 77 Posted April 6, 2020 @nkennyThanks for your most excellent work with the Lambs projects; much appreciated!! Everything seems to work well and bumps up the quality and efficiency working with my AI squad. One question; how can I set the hotkey to turn on/off Lambs for my AI? A few posts above you mention this...however, I didn't see anything in the options inside Arma. I'd like to turn it off until needed for CQB. Thanks again and good day!
