If I understand you correctly, you want to spawn @ 0,0,0 position on the map? Just put an empty marker there, and spawn your hq unit.

Tested in Stratis, then copied to Livonia, and it worked.

I am proud to announce the release of Asymmetric Warfare 3.0! I have revamped the original 2.1, and created a dedicated server for testing. I have 5 tasks built, and with feedback am ready to ramp up many more. I would like to get 10 to 15 randomized tasks before releasing on steam. Please feel free to join the server, and provide feedback to me. It is difficult to fully test without multiple players on a REAL dedicated server. Please provide feedback in this thread. I don't know MP optimization, but am learning. It is difficult, especially the supply room task at night. If you have ever served in the military, pulled into a bivouac site in the pitch black, you know that feeling of trying to find the TOC. This is NOT released on steam yet. I need to test server stuff before sending to steam. I want this to be MP/COOP. Server Name: Asymmetric Warfare Group Server IP: 172.93.97.18 Port: 2302

It's true..... things do get better with age. Classic game! Thanks so much for updating. Motivating me to setup a dedicated server and opening the unit back up. If we could just get Roy.....

the hint resides in the file "LV_fnc_follow.sqf, line 103. You could remove the text between the quotes. or REM out the line with //

Have you tried to spawn the zone in a non-repeatable trigger?

I know this is an old post, and I don't know if the OP is active, but worth a shot...… has anyone found a way to put an infantry unit in the cargo positions of a boat? It works great for a vehicle, but not a boat. I haven't tried helo's or planes yet.

Greetings and Salutations! Situation: I am setting up a supply room for one of my missions. I have several shelves with multiple items on them. I.E. One shelf has a bipod, silencer, and flashlight. I have this code in a script, with a game logic on the map named "R3S3". R3S3 equal "rack 3, shelf 3". R3S3 = "groundWeaponHolder" createVehicle getpos RACK_3; R3S3 addItemCargo ["muzzle_snds_M",1]; R3S3 addItemCargo ["bipod_01_F_blk",1]; R3S3 addItemCargo ["acc_flashlight",1]; R3S3 setPos [getPos RACK_3 select 0,getPos RACK_3 select 1,1.847]; R3S3 setdir random 360; R3S3 setDamage 1; R3S3 addAction ["Take Flashlight (Scroll for more items)","player addItem 'acc_flashlight';",nil,6,true,false,"","true",-1,false,"",""]; R3S3 addAction ["Take Bipod","player addItem 'bipod_01_F_Blk';",nil,6,true,false,"","true",-1,false,"",""]; R3S3 addAction ["Take Silencer","player addItem 'muzzle_snds_M';",nil,6,true,false,"","true",-1,false,"",""]; It works great, and as intended at this point. What I would like to do is replace the 3 individual "addAction" items with a single menu item, and then a sub-menu with the 3 items to select from. Example: "Select Item" ->add Flashlight ->add Bipod ->add Silencer I found "setUserActionText" as a possible solution. But looks like it is for displaying additional information. I've seen examples of the command used as a switch for earplugs. I can't get each individual addAction to work in the sub-menu. I can display them. So I don't know if it possible. Question: Can you use "setUserActionText" to create sub-menus in the action menu for an "addAction" item? Syntax: object setUserActionText [actionIndex, textMenu, textWindowBackground, textWindowForeground] Any input or thoughts would be appreciated. I believe I need to wrap "setUserActionText" in the "addAction". I've tried several iterations but not working. I'll keep plugging away.

.kju thanks, …...but the one zone in the WATER, is the problem! 🙂 I'll restate the issue. When you place a marker on the water, and try to spawn a boat unit there, it spawns on the coast, not the marker. I've edited the T8 file for one unit, one container. I edited the mission for only one marker, "marker_1", and placed it over the water. The mission is shared here. I appreciate all the help.

Just to close this out..... I found I like this option the best. I am using this to create a supply room with items on tables and shelves. This will give the text "Use scroll wheel to select item" when you look at the table. Then scroll and the "take item1", "take item2", etc. etc. will appear. Works well for when you have multiple items on one surface. I know it's not pretty, and optimized. But not bad for reading the biki's. 1. Place a table or shelf. 2. Name it "Table_1". 3. Place a game logic on top of the table. Get the z height. Use it for the select 1 position. 4. Replace the items in the code with what you want. Note there is a limit to what you can put. 3 items work best. Play with the setDir number. Or use setDir random 360; T1 = "groundWeaponHolder" createVehicle getpos TABLE_1; T1 addItemCargo ["ItemGPS",1]; T1 addItemCargo ["ItemMap",1]; T1 addItemCargo ["ItemRadio",1]; T1 addItemCargo ["ItemCompass",1]; T1 setPos [getPos TABLE_1 select 0,getPos TABLE_1 select 1,1.407]; T1 setdir 0; T1 setDamage 1; _GPS = T1 addAction ["Take GPS","player addItem 'ItemGPS';",nil,6,true,false,"","true",-1,false,"",""]; _map = T1 addAction ["Take Map","player addItem 'ItemMap';",nil,6,true,false,"","true",-1,false,"",""]; _radio = T1 addAction ["Take Radio","player addItem 'ItemRadio';",nil,6,true,false,"","true",-1,false,"",""]; _compass = T1 addAction ["Take Compass","player addItem 'ItemCompass';",nil,6,true,false,"","true",-1,false,"",""]; T1 setUserActionText [_gps,"Take GPS","Use Scroll Wheel<br/>to select item",""]; T1 setUserActionText [_map,"Take Map","Use Scroll Wheel<br/>to select item",""]; T1 setUserActionText [_compass,"Take Compass","Use Scroll Wheel<br/>to select item",""]; T1 setUserActionText [_radio,"Take Radio","Use Scroll Wheel<br/>to select item",""];

Thanks Larrow. Already there. 🙂 Looks like the solution.

This is the original code. It will spawn 2 units. One at marker_1, which is the boat unit. And one at marker_2 which is a infantryman. The boat unit spawns on the coast. The infantry unit spawns as expected. Simplest setup for T8.

Sure, give me a sec.

.kju Sorry , no luck. and I REALLY do appreciate the effort.

Hi .kju, Different error from before. Also different results at mission start. The units don't spawn at all. My setup is 2 markers - one over land, one over open water. Original code, both units spawn, the one over water spawns at the nearest coastal position. The over land spawns correctly.

Appreciate the help, .kju. Unfortunately, did not solve the issue. I tried several different ways also. And tried to use BIS_fnc_findSafePos to force it on the water. No luck. I am going to look for other solutions, like EOS, etc. I may revisit it. The reason I like this system is the built in tasks to patrol, attack, defend, etc. etc. It works pretty well. Once again thanks.

Good Day All, I know this script is a dead product but it works really great. I am trying to create a spawn position on the water at a designated area marker. Here is the error message. If you turn on debug, the units spawn, but they always spawn on the coast nearest the area marker. I've found the script it's calling out, and the line. I've tried to fix it, but I have limited knowledge writing code. But I love to learn, so I would like to walk through it, and see if I am close in my deductions. First the script..... Name: fn_createSpawnPos.sqf /* ======================================================================================================================= T8 Units Script Funktion: fn_createSpawnPos.sqf Author: T-800a E-Mail: t-800a@gmx.net ======================================================================================================================= */ #include <..\MACRO.hpp> private [ "_areaSize", "_areaSizeX", "_areaSizeY", "_wpPosFEP", "_loop", "_tmpAreaSize", "_markerPos" ]; private _marker = param [ 0, [0,0,0], [ "", []]]; if ( _marker isEqualTo [0,0,0] ) exitWith { if ( T8U_var_DEBUG ) then { [ "fn_createSpawnPos.sqf", "Can't create SpawnPos" ] spawn T8U_fnc_DebugLog; }; false }; if (( typeName _marker ) isEqualTo ( typeName "STR" )) then { if (( getMarkerPos _marker ) isEqualTo [0,0,0]) exitWith { if ( T8U_var_DEBUG ) then { [ "fn_createSpawnPos.sqf", "Can't create SpawnPos" ] spawn T8U_fnc_DebugLog; }; false }; _areaSizeX = ( getMarkerSize _marker ) select 0; _areaSizeY = ( getMarkerSize _marker ) select 1; _areaSize = if ((( _areaSizeX + _areaSizeY ) / 2 ) < 150 ) then { 50 } else {(( _areaSizeX + _areaSizeY ) / 2 ) / 3 }; _tmpAreaSize = _areaSize; _markerPos = getMarkerPos _marker; } else { _areaSizeX = 50; _areaSizeY = 50; _areaSize = 50; _tmpAreaSize = 50; _markerPos = _marker; }; _wpPosFEP = []; _loop = true; while { _loop } do { private [ "_spawnPos", "_roadObj", "_roadPos"]; _spawnPos = [ _markerPos, random _tmpAreaSize, random 360 ] call BIS_fnc_relPos; _roadObj = [ _spawnPos, 50 ] call BIS_fnc_nearestRoad; if ( isNull _roadObj ) then { _roadPos = _spawnPos; } else { _roadPos = getpos _roadObj; }; _wpPosFEP = _roadPos findEmptyPosition [ 1 , 50 , "Land_VR_Block_02_F" ]; // 20x20 block ... should be enough space for a Trooper if (( surfaceIsWater _roadPos OR (( count _wpPosFEP ) < 2 ) AND {( _wpPosFEP distance ( nearestObject _wpPosFEP )) < 10 })) then { _tmpAreaSize = _tmpAreaSize + 5; } else { _loop = false; }; }; if ( T8U_var_DEBUG ) then { [ "fn_createSpawnPos.sqf", "SpawnPos", _wpPosFEP ] spawn T8U_fnc_DebugLog; }; // Return _wpPosFEP the affected line is line 49 . if (( surfaceIsWater _roadPos OR (( count _wpPosFEP ) < 2 ) AND {( _wpPosFEP distance ( nearestObject _wpPosFEP )) < 10 })) then { _tmpAreaSize = _tmpAreaSize + 5; } else { _loop = false; }; The log report is calling out 2 items...... Error in expression and Error in position. With the error being 0 elements provided, 3 expected. I believe the first item needing correct is the "error in expression". If that is corrected then the "error in position" may correct itself. Are there ANY experienced coders on these forums, that may be able to fix this issue? (In my best foghorn leghorn voice, "That's joke son, you see, a joke!"). I'll keep plugging way.

Hi YXman, Just save the mission, and it will be saved to C:\Users\<user name>\Documents\Arma 3\Saved\steam You just need to de'PBO it.

New Release: AW: Attack Asymmetric Warfare: Area Defense A defensive task is a task conducted to defeat an enemy attack, gain time, economize forces, and develop conditions favorable for offensive or stability tasks (ADRP 3-0). An area defense capitalizes on the strength inherent in a closely integrated defensive organization on the ground. The conduct of an area defense facilitates the consolidation and reconstitution of forces in order to transition to a focus on another element of decisive action, such as stability. The commander may assign subordinate units the task of conducting an area defense as part of their mission. Subordinate echelons defend within their assigned areas of operations (AOs) as part of the larger-echelon’s operation. KEYS TO SUCCESS: 1. Maintain defensive positions. 2. Use appropriate formations. 3. Position squad members to maximize fires. 4. The patients of Job. Next Mission: Source: FM 3-90.1

New Release: AW: Attack Asymmetric Warfare: Attack An attack destroys or defeats enemy forces, seizes and secures terrain, or both. Attacks incorporate coordinated movement supported by direct and indirect fires. They may be decisive or shaping operations and hasty or deliberate, depending upon the time available for assessing the situation, planning, and preparing. However, based on METT-TC, the leader may decide to conduct an attack using only fires. An attack differs from a movement to contact because enemy main body dispositions are at least partially known, allowing the leader to achieve greater synchronization. This enables the massing effects of attacking forces combat power more effective in an attack than in a movement to contact. KEYS TO SUCCESS: 1. Time Management. 2. Maintain Lane Discipline. 3. Maintain Speed. 3. Maintain Fire Control. 4. Slow is Smooth, Smooth is Fast. Next Mission: Area Defense Source: FM 3-90.1

Hmmmmm, so how do we know this is the real Roy? Maybe ...... you are an AI Chat bot. 🤖 The only way to tell would be to finish PO4 and release it!

New Release: AW: Movement to Contact Asymmetric Warfare: Movement to Contact Movement to contact is an offensive task designed to develop the situation and establish or regain contact (ADRP 3-90). It also creates favorable conditions for subsequent tactical actions. The commander conducts a movement to contact when the enemy situation is vague or not specific enough to conduct an attack. Forces executing this task seek to make contact with the smallest friendly force feasible. A movement to contact may result in a meeting engagement. Once contact is made with an enemy force, the commander has five options: attack, defend, bypass, delay, or withdraw. Search and attack and cordon and search are subordinate tasks of movement to contact. Chapter 2 discusses movement to contact. FM 3-90-2 discusses the approach march.
