Exile Pianosa has just gone live, once again thank you Don for this brilliant map! I will be sure to report any/all map bugs found/reported to me directly to you to help progress and finish this beauty. (http://www.exilemod.com/topic/1508-eu-vexitynet-exile-pianosa/) If interested.

I have placed some AI units which act as shops as you can see below; Now, when I sprint into them.. They seem to move around, through walls sometimes they even rocket themselves into the middle of nowhere. As soon as I open the server I can see the odd retard abusing this and I just want to avoid it happening as the 'shop' will be unacceptable until the next restart. I am using this code in the initialization; this disableAI "MOVE"; Is there anything I can do to make them walk-through, or solid on the spot? Thanks guys!

I'll be sure to go through this, just lost 10 hours + worth of mapping so I am taking a break. You the man Ranwer!

My personal view on this, if somebody cannot download a mod file and drag it into their arma folder I do not want them playing on my servers. I always see fox helping everywhere on his forums/site, I would much rather support Armaholic which has been a dedicated source for years now over steam.

I never, I will try this now. If it fails to work I think I will take your advice using cash desks to make it look as sound as can be if that fails a rule will be made and I will just have to hold faith in my players.

No no, you know more than me and I appreciate your help. Such a simple issue, yet so hard to solve. To anybody whom may stumble across this thread I am simply looking to stop people from sprinting into an NPC (causing it to move from its original position) either by making it static (like a rock) or turning off its collision (so people can walk through the unit). Thanks.

Still did not make a difference. I do not understand why this; 'disableCollisionWith works on the editor but does not work when its on a live server?

Does not work locally either, could it be this 'CAManBase'? The units used in the mod are all on Independent. Your first suggestion 'disableCollisionWith' worked perfectly, but that was local only. The only other thing I can think of is blocking the AI in witch sandbags or something similar, just looks messy.

Done exactly as you said, everything has loaded fine (no errors in the server RPT) however I cannot walk through the unit. I am almost certain I have set it up correctly. Trigger: Unit: .sqf: shopkeeper = (_this select 0); _dude = nearestObjects [shopkeeper, ["CAManBase"], 5]; { shopkeeper disableCollisionWith _x } forEach _dude; - Just noticed I never gave the trigger a name, retrying now.

Ah, I get you! Top right corner name not the actual class name of the placed unit. Trying now, once again your help is highly appreciated!

Ok, having an issue here hopefully this information can point out where I am going wrong. retard_buster.sqf _dude = nearestObjects [Exile_Trader_WasteDump, ["CAManBase"], 5]; { Exile_Trader_WasteDump disableCollisionWith _x } forEach _dude; Trigger: Unit I am trying to disable collisions: RPT Error: 7:32:19 Error in expression <ard_buster.sqf" _dude = nearestObjects [Exile_Trader_WasteDump, ["CAManBase"], 5> 7:32:19 Error position: <Exile_Trader_WasteDump, ["CAManBase"], 5> 7:32:19 Error Undefined variable in expression: exile_trader_wastedump

And if I have more than 1 AI unit? Would I do this; _dude = nearestObjects [Exile_Unit_Shopkeeper, ["CAManBase"], 5]; { Exile_Unit_Shopkeeper,Exile_Unit_Shopkeeper1,Exile_Unit_Shopkeeper2,Exile_Unit_Shopkeeper3 disableCollisionWith _x } forEach _dude; Or do I need to make a new .sqf file for each AI unit?

Thank you Ranwer, once again! On the editor it worked fine, I was able to no-clip into the shop dude however when I tried it on my server the collision was back default. The unit I am placing is called 'Exile_Unit_Player'. This is the code I use in the initialization box; this disableAI "MOVE"; this disableCollisionWith player; By rocketing, I never meant physically shooting a rocket as damage is disable in the trade markers. I mean when you sprint into the AI shop, sometimes the unit flys like 50m.

Thanks for the help, I later discovered you were right. I originally thought I had to add the addon values but thats done by itself in the edtior which is a lot easier... I recieved some great help from pillow, my pbo extractor was somehow depbo'ing the file with half its contents missing. He sent me in the way of eliteness, got it installed and walked me through it. This issue is solved, thank you all very much.

Hello, I am in the process of porting the map Southern Sahrani on the exile mod. I am using AiA (AllInArmaTerrainPack) mission pbo. Now, the Exile mod is originally on the map Altis. I managed to get it onto most maps in the AiA pack some being Zargabad and Chernarus. When I come to load Southern Sahrani the script does not finish loading, it gets stuck somewhere which is why I suspect I am editing the mission.sqm wrong. If you need any more information provided below, please let me know, thanks. Chernarus Launch RPT (Successful): http://pastebin.com/922AWhnp Southern Sahrani RPT (Failed): http://pastebin.com/Adku0qXC Chernarus mission.sqm: http://pastebin.com/8dbe98yg Southern Sahrani mission.sqm: http://pastebin.com/11dCwcBt I feel like I am missing mod files in the addons[] sections however I do not know which ones. All help is appreciated!

Brilliant map jon! Do you have or know where I can find the btc_afghan_objects.pbo key file?

Cheers for the guidance, will give this a look now. For some reason, it is 'common' practice to edit straight from the mission.sqm, so that is what I had been doing. I guess I was told wrong.

Solved, thanks for the help.

I never built the mission in the editor, therefore how else am I supposed to load the default mission.sqm into the editor? Its common 'practice' and its what 9/10 people have been doing to port/change values. Secondly, it has nothing to do with my PC at all. This is being ran on a linux dedi to start with, secondly its something to do with the addons. I either need to add to the addons or take some things away, I have absolutely no idea where the f*ck you get these mod names/file names or what ever they are... I can load multiple maps fine, just typical the one I want to use doesn't want to load. Either way this is posted in the wrong section, so ill be remaking it.

Is this linked to the I44 project by any chance?

Dope, cannot wait for this.. UK MAP HYPE!

It is a very well done map.
