    Frame rate has dropped dramatically since update.  Also I noticed quite a few people where getting banned for signature time out issues.  Then I managed to get banned from my own server.  I run absolutely no mods.  Bog standard Arma.  Not sure if they are all connected but everything was fine prior to update :(

    stringtable.xml is the file included with the download. It needs to be placed in the main directory of the mission where init.sqf and /vas/ are located, without it you won't see text as that is the localization file. If you already have a pre-existing stringtable.xml that is not related to VAS then you'll have to merge the two together.

    Hi thanks for the reply. The file I downloaded from Armaholic didn't have a stringable. Xml file. But I managed to solve the problem by copying another stringable file from another mission using VAS.

    Alright, what you're going to do is plant three things. You (named unit1), a chopper (named helicopter1) and an invisible helipad.

    You're going to want to place a waypoint right on top of the chopper. Now, go place the trigger, and sync it to the waypoint. This will basically force the chopper to wait at that waypoint until it is activated via the trigger. You're going to want to place the

    second waypoint, the LAND waypoint, onto the invisible helipad. Inside that waypoint's activation field, put this down.

    dostop Helicopter;Helicopter land "get in"

    This forces the chopper to land, and keep it's engine running. Now, create a third waypoint for the chopper practically under the second, and in the condition field, put this down.

    ((!alive unit1) OR (unit1 in helicopter))

    This forces the chopper to identify whether or not you (unit1) is present in it, and if you have multiple troops boarding it, simply give them extra soldiers names and repeat that last code by putting AND (for example: ((!alive unit1) OR (unit1 in helicopter)) AND ((!alive unit2) OR (unit2 in helicopter)) ...

    Create the fourth waypoint where ever the chopper is going to go.

    EDIT: Oh, forgot :P if this is happening under enemy fire, set the chopper to careless at the first waypoint, that should do the trick.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Does anybody know how to make this work in the Eden editor.  This works fine for me in the 2d editor but when I try it in Eden (its my preferred type editor) I cannot get it to work.  I think the problem stems from the trigger in the Eden editor not having a switch option in it.  Ive tried many different ways and looked at many different videos but I cannot get it to work in Eden.  I really don't wanna use 2d unless I really have too.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Guys,

     

    Ive added the VAS system to a mission im creating as i think its the best of its type however i keep encountering a problem with certain buttons not displaying correctly.  Everything works as it should.  I can load and save my gear.  Its just annoying as i don't know how to solve this problem.  Very new to Arma editing and everything seems to take me hours what other people can do in a few minutes lol.

    Im trying to create a mission that involves killing a scientist (a Civillian) who is working for opfor.  Everytime we (blufor) come near and the scientist hears gunfire he runs away.  Is there away of keeping him in one place.  Hes located inside a building and ive even placed fences around him but he'll just walk through them like hes a ghost.  Ive also tried adding unit allowFleeing 0; in the Init of the scientist but no success.

    Hi guys. Ive been wanting to play Arma 3 for a long long time after watching countless videos on YouTube. I just want some options on whether I can actually play it with my machine. I believe it passes the minimum recommendations but after doing a lot of homework I realise my machine is probably a little old in the tooth.

    So here goes...

    AMD PHENOM II X2 555 3.20GHZ x 2

    320GB Hard drive

    4GB RAM

    Windows 7

    ATI RADEON HD 5450

    So come on guys. Ruin myour day lol. Can i actually play this game? I money is quite tight and I've only got about £100 to spend on any improvements.

    Many thanks

     

    Well pc arrived and as I thought Arma 3 ran like shite.  I was getting about 7 fps in multiplayer and with all the stuttering and freezes it was unplayable.  I do intend to get a better system when I can raise the cash but for now I spent £45 on a GeForce GT 730. Its not perfect but i can get 25 fps in multiplayer and while its hardly perfect i can play it without any freezes or glitches.  Im pleasantly surprised by what this cheap little card can do.  I can't however wait until I can buy a decent pc and run it on high specs.
