Question about configuring Modules

[arthur666 10]

Sorry for such a basic question but, I want to configure the ACM a little. Where do i put the scripting to change patrol types etc?

Example: Physicaly, where would I type this : [bIS_ACM, 100, 500] call BIS_ACM_setSpawnDistanceFunc; ?

Not 100% sure but I don't think it matters where you place that line of code as long as it executes before the module executes. So maybe try the init file?

I'll try that when I get home. And I assume you can just put one after another, but does it matter what order they're in? I'm still trying to wrap my head around this coding stuff.

Sorry I really haven't toyed with the modules that much yet, just know the artillery one fairly well. As for editing/changing their values I have no idea, I don't even know what that line of code you typed does lol. My reasoning is just I assume that if you want a module to execute in a certain way, you gotta define that way before it initializes. A lot of things you can't change when they're already running.

Have a read of this thread: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=73393&highlight=acm

It is all in there - you can basically copy and paste the whole section from the examples provided into an init.sqf and just alter the numbers to your liking.

Was just looking around and found this short script... I might've been totally wrong haha. This script waits until the ACM is initialized before changing it. Hope this is more helpful than I am lol.

init.sqf , Thanks yall. That's just the info I needed!

My sniper behind enemy lines mission is much better now. We had eliminated our target, making our way back to the LZ after fending off a few random patrols. Ambushed by a random patrol of insurgents, I was wounded, my spotter saved my ass. We made it back, only to find a large squad in the area. Picked off their sniper and MGs, boarded the chopper under heavy fire. Made it out alive. ACM is great! Really made my mission.

Sounds cool, glad it worked out, I'll have to give it a try. I recently put my first one - Gatekeeper - up there also :)
