gc8 977 Posted May 12, 2020 Hi it's been reported that in my mission the AIs are shooting a flagpole... why is this happening, anyone knows? Flags never hurt nobody and it's created via createvehicle command so it shouldn't even have AI. code used: _flag = createVehicle ["FlagPole_F", _pos ,[], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"]; (setFlagTexture used to change flag texture) been going through my code that there isn't line that makes AI fire on the flagpole but haven't found anything like that thx! 1 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pierremgi 4887 Posted May 13, 2020 I will look for: - modded units with modded Fsms; - script with spawned laser target; - script with suppressive fire on position. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gc8 977 Posted May 21, 2020 Still having this issue in my mission. The AI actually fires ground and not the flag but point is there should not be a target for the AI to shoot and yet they fire. I tried to fix this by deleting every potential target so they would stop firing but to no avail. I tried many different clean up codes to get rid of the targets but even deleting everything except the shooters in my group they still continue to fire. And throw hand grenades too. All to same spot. The only clue I have is resistance guy marker on the map (where they shoot at), but I see no one there. Codes tried: Delete all men: _deleted = []; { _m = _x; if(side _m != west && _m distance player < 1000) then { _deleted pushback _x; deletevehicle _x; }; } foreach allunits; hint format["deleting! %1", _deleted]; delete all objects: _deleted = []; { _m = _x; if(side _m != west && _m distance player < 1000) then { _deleted pushback _x; diag_log format [">>>>>> %1 ", _x]; deletevehicle _m; }; } foreach (entities [[], [], true, true]); hint format["deleting! %1", _deleted]; But nothing helps. Any ideas what to try next? Note: nearTargets returns resistance target for my player but there's no resistance man near. Could this be the issue and perhaps a bug in arma? thx! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pierremgi 4887 Posted May 21, 2020 what about your mods? or a test mission to share perhaps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The mission I'm talking about has it's thread here I should probably update the download link to latest version but the bug is hard to reproduce so I don't know will that help (Steam download link should have same bug). I already got help in testing (thx to @kremator) but the bug is difficult to fix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnnyboy 3795 Posted May 21, 2020 In the console, try getting array of all objects near that position when you see it happen. Maybe some invisible object will be revealed to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kremator 1065 Posted May 21, 2020 We are pulling our hair out here .... it is soo random. A 'clean' version of the mission suddenly goes rogue - you have to catch the buggers firing aimlessly - it is mostly AA vehicles but I've caught foot mobiles shooting too.

gc8 977 Posted May 22, 2020 Tried again with script to stop the shooting. This is what I tried: _deleted = []; _units = (units (group player)); { _man = _x; if(!isPlayer _man) then { diag_log format["man %1 targets:",_man]; { _m = _x # 4; if(side _m != (side player)) then { _deleted pushback _m; diag_log format [">>>>>> %1 -- %2 -- %3 -- %4", _x]; deletevehicle _m; }; } foreach (_man nearTargets 100000); }; } foreach _units; hint format["deleting! %1", _deleted]; deletes all the targets but didn't help again there's resistance guy icon on map but no one alive there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy Old Man 3546 Posted May 22, 2020 Maybe they're firing at a game logic entity or some other hidden object other than the lasertarget? Other than disabling scripts/mods and enabling them one by one, there's not much to do if you want to get to the bottom of it. Also try putting the misbehaving units targetsQuery into the log via diag_log, might be worth a try. Cheers 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Again I see res soldier marker on the map and every one is shooting at it but there's nothing there visibile in game. Wish I even knew how to delete that thing would be progress tried: { if(side _x == resistance) then { deletevehicle _x; }; } foreach allunits; // And: { deleteVehicle _x } forEach allDead; to no avail Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gc8 977 Posted May 22, 2020 It seems there is resistance guy hidden somewhere and I have tried deleting it with a script but for some reason deletevehicle will not delete it Here's the code: _deleted = []; _units = (units (group player)); { _man = _x; if(!isPlayer _man) then { diag_log format["man %1 targets:",_man]; { _m = _x # 4; if(side _m != (side player)) then { diag_log format [">>>>>> %1 -- %2 -- %3 -- %4", typeof _m, side _m, _x]; if( side _m == resistance ) then { _deleted pushback _m; deletevehicle _m; }; }; } foreach (_man nearTargets 30); }; } foreach _units; hint format["deleting! %1 %2", time, _deleted]; Like I said deletevehicle does nothing, every time I run this script the GUER guy is on the list Here's what the code prints (For one soldier) (I_C_Soldier_Para_2_F on top): 10:42:45 ">>>>>> I_C_Soldier_Para_2_F -- GUER -- [[4307.48,4366.82,1.35439],""I_C_Soldier_Para_2_F"",GUER,3.89211e+006,1fc0cbd77c0# 178140: i_c_soldier_para_2_f.p3d,0] -- " 10:42:45 ">>>>>> WeaponHolderSimulated -- CIV -- [[4316.19,4359.11,-0.107025],""WeaponHolderSimulated"",CIV,-999996,1fc114fb580# 231379: dummyweapon.p3d,0.0019468] -- " 10:42:45 ">>>>>> WeaponHolderSimulated -- CIV -- [[4314.1,4370.73,-0.106445],""WeaponHolderSimulated"",CIV,-999997,1fcc15f5600# 226760: dummyweapon.p3d,0.00331148] -- " 10:42:45 ">>>>>> WeaponHolderSimulated -- CIV -- [[4322.43,4354.46,0.137711],""WeaponHolderSimulated"",CIV,-999997,1fc9fce2080# 201083: dummyweapon.p3d,0.00163772] -- " 10:42:45 ">>>>>> WeaponHolderSimulated -- CIV -- [[4322.67,4351.38,0.135895],""WeaponHolderSimulated"",CIV,-999997,1fc9fce3580# 201082: dummyweapon.p3d,0.00161114] -- " 10:42:45 ">>>>>> WeaponHolderSimulated -- CIV -- [[4321.1,4372.67,0.133163],""WeaponHolderSimulated"",CIV,-999997,1fc09b0c100# 227582: dummyweapon.p3d,0.00590146] -- " 10:42:45 ">>>>>> WeaponHolderSimulated -- CIV -- [[4327.56,4352.65,0.138138],""WeaponHolderSimulated"",CIV,-999997,1fc3b369600# 227525: dummyweapon.p3d,0.00205998] -- " 10:42:45 ">>>>>> WeaponHolderSimulated -- CIV -- [[4327.04,4350.61,0.138123],""WeaponHolderSimulated"",CIV,-999997,1fc3b36ab00# 227524: dummyweapon.p3d,0.00188131] -- " 10:42:45 ">>>>>> Land_LampShabby_F -- CIV -- [[4335.52,4341.81,3.76347],""Land_LampShabby_F"",CIV,-100000,1fb76cc6b00# 48241: lampshabby_f.p3d,0] -- " 10:42:45 ">>>>>> Sign_Arrow_Green_F -- CIV -- [[4307.5,4366.76,1.3674],""Sign_Arrow_Green_F"",CIV,-100000,1fbe5a08100# 178162: sign_arrow_f.p3d,0] -- " 10:42:45 ">>>>>> Land_BagFence_Long_F -- CIV -- [[4312.43,4323.71,0.416122],""Land_BagFence_Long_F"",CIV,-100000,1fc2afda080# 196688: bagfence_long_f.p3d,0] -- " 10:42:45 ">>>>>> Land_BagFence_Corner_F -- CIV -- [[4313.4,4322.08,0.437973],""Land_BagFence_Corner_F"",CIV,-100000,1fbb5af2080# 196689: bagfence_corner_f.p3d,0] -- " 10:42:45 ">>>>>> Land_BagFence_Corner_F -- CIV -- [[4310.85,4324.95,0.438385],""Land_BagFence_Corner_F"",CIV,-100000,1fb96a59600# 196690: bagfence_corner_f.p3d,0] -- " 10:42:45 ">>>>>> Sign_Arrow_Blue_F -- CIV -- [[4327.35,4346.31,1.37471],""Sign_Arrow_Blue_F"",CIV,-100000,1fbd82e4b80# 226235: sign_arrow_f.p3d,0] -- " 10:42:45 ">>>>>> Sign_Arrow_Blue_F -- CIV -- [[4325.95,4349.66,1.37459],""Sign_Arrow_Blue_F"",CIV,-100000,1fcbf604100# 226238: sign_arrow_f.p3d,0] -- " 10:42:45 ">>>>>> Sign_Arrow_Blue_F -- CIV -- [[4324.28,4351.2,1.37471],""Sign_Arrow_Blue_F"",CIV,-100000,1fc49e8ab00# 226239: sign_arrow_f.p3d,0] -- " 10:42:45 ">>>>>> Sign_Arrow_Blue_F -- CIV -- [[4334.48,4370.52,1.37473],""Sign_Arrow_Blue_F"",CIV,-100000,1fbc19aa080# 226246: sign_arrow_f.p3d,0] -- " 10:42:45 ">>>>>> Sign_Arrow_Blue_F -- CIV -- [[4321.95,4356.3,1.37468],""Sign_Arrow_Blue_F"",CIV,-100000,1fb9d121600# 229859: sign_arrow_f.p3d,0] -- " 10:42:45 ">>>>>> Sign_Arrow_Blue_F -- CIV -- [[4318.82,4355.45,1.37459],""Sign_Arrow_Blue_F"",CIV,-100000,1fcc2536080# 229869: sign_arrow_f.p3d,0] -- " 10:42:45 ">>>>>> Sign_Arrow_Blue_F -- CIV -- [[4319.68,4355.83,1.37469],""Sign_Arrow_Blue_F"",CIV,-100000,1fc4bd55600# 229878: sign_arrow_f.p3d,0] -- " 10:42:45 ">>>>>> Sign_Arrow_Blue_F -- CIV -- [[4317.93,4353.27,1.3746],""Sign_Arrow_Blue_F"",CIV,-100000,1fc4b692080# 229898: sign_arrow_f.p3d,0] -- " 10:42:45 ">>>>>> Sign_Arrow_Blue_F -- CIV -- [[4318.71,4352.13,1.37471],""Sign_Arrow_Blue_F"",CIV,-100000,1fcc24d5600# 229910: sign_arrow_f.p3d,0] -- " Why is delete not working?

gc8 977 Posted May 22, 2020 Hey I think I found the reason for this buggy behavior It says this in deleteVehicle wiki: Do not use this command for deletion of dead crew members from a vehicle. Doing so may lead to all sorts of bugs and ghost objects left on the map. Instead use deleteVehicleCrew, which was designed with this functionality in mind That must be the reason. also explains why it was not possible to clear these ghost objects 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, i'm lost. no but there are vehicles and according to wiki I was deleting the vehicles crew wrong way and hence the ghost shooting.
