Hey @HazJ - The issue isnt with the while loop or the if checks. Those are all working fine, while I'm sure yes there are "better" ways of doing it. My questions is how can I replace the giant blocks of scripts in the if statemetns with calls to external scripts in an efficient manner for server resources.

Hey @187Killa - If you mean the messages where the AI yell out "Enemy 500 meters front" etc, you need to adjust the difficulty settings of the server its running on. You can find it in the BIS Wiki for Diffuclty Settings. Its the setting called Auto Report. If that doesn't work, I have added in the init field of all BLUFOR units (if your playable units are on the BLUFOR side) the following code: this setSpeaker "NoVoice"; And last resort would be to just disable the group channel via the description.ext file. Here is the BIS Wiki for Description.ext Hope that helps!

So I'm an idiot and after triple checking everything... it looks as though I had mistyped the name of the groups that the spawnGroup function was calling. Thus is why at random 1/3 of the times it called a group that was actually working. Pasting the updated script in case anybody wants to use it. It works wonderfully! =) _i = 1; while { _i < 21 } do { // hint "DEBUG - LOOP IS RUNNING"; // SELECTS A RANDOM LOCATION TO SPAWN AI FROM MARKERS PLACED ON MAP _spawnloc = ["spawn_1", "spawn_2", "spawn_3", "spawn_4", "spawn_5", "spawn_6", "spawn_7", "spawn_8", "spawn_9", "spawn_10", "spawn_11", "spawn_12", "spawn_13", "spawn_14", "spawn_15", "spawn_16", "spawn_17", "spawn_18", "spawn_19", "spawn_20", "spawn_21", "spawn_22", "spawn_23", "spawn_24", "spawn_25", "spawn_26", "spawn_27", "spawn_28"] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom; // SELECTS A GROUP TO SPAWN - FOUND USING CfgGroups _group = ["rhsgref_group_national_infantry_patrol", "rhsgref_group_national_infantry_squad", "rhsgref_group_national_infantry_squad_2"] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom; // SPAWNS THE GROUP NAMED _aiGRP _aiGRP = [getMarkerPos _spawnloc, INDEPENDENT, (configfile >> "CfgGroups" >> "Indep" >> "rhsgref_faction_nationalist" >> "rhsgref_group_national_infantry" >> _group)] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup; // CREATE WAYPOINT AND ATTRIBUTES _waypoint0 = _aiGRP addWaypoint [getMarkerPos "ai_move",0]; _waypoint0 setWaypointType "MOVE"; _waypoint0 setWaypointFormation "STAG COLUMN"; _waypoint0 setWaypointSpeed "FULL"; _waypoint0 setWaypointBehaviour "AWARE"; hint "AI SPAWNED"; // ON LOOP # 1, 11, 14, 17 - SPAWN A VEHICLE AS WELL if ( _i == 1 || _i == 11 || _i == 14 || _i == 17) then { // SAME AS ABOVE JUST USING VEHICLE SET MARKERS _vehiclespawnloc = ["vehspawn_1", "vehspawn_2"] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom; _vehspawngroup = ["rhsgref_group_national_infantry_patrol", "rhsgref_group_national_infantry_squad", "rhsgref_group_national_infantry_squad_2"] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom; // IF STATEMENT MAKING SURE THE DROP OFF WAYPOINT IS ON CORRECT SIDE (NORTH OR SOUTH) ACCORDING TO SPAWN LOCATION if (_vehiclespawnloc == "vehspawn_1") then { vehDrop = "vehdropoff_1"; } else { vehDrop = "vehdropoff_2"; }; // SPAWNS VEHICLE IN AND SETS ITS DIRECTION _veh = "I_C_Van_02_transport_F" createVehicle getMarkerPos _vehiclespawnloc; createVehicleCrew _veh; _dirVeh = markerDir _vehiclespawnloc; _veh setDir _dirVeh; // SETS GROUP OF THE DRIVER _vehgrp = group driver _veh; // SPAWNS IN GROUP TO JOIN THE VEHICLE ASSAULT _aiVehGroup = [getMarkerPos _vehiclespawnloc, INDEPENDENT, (configfile >> "CfgGroups" >> "Indep" >> "rhsgref_faction_nationalist" >> "rhsgref_group_national_infantry" >> _vehspawngroup)] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup; // MOVES SPAWNED UNITS INTO VEHICLE {_x moveInCargo _veh} forEach units _aiVehGroup; _vehgrouparray = units _aiVehGroup; _vehgrouparray join _vehgrp; // CREATE WAYPOINT AND ATTRIBUTES _waypoint0 = _vehgrp addWaypoint [getMarkerPos vehDrop, 0]; _waypoint0 setWaypointType "TR UNLOAD"; _waypoint0 setWaypointFormation "FILE"; _waypoint0 setWaypointSpeed "NORMAL"; _waypoint0 setWaypointBehaviour "AWARE"; _waypoint0 = _vehgrp addWaypoint [getMarkerPos vehDrop, 0]; _waypoint0 setWaypointType "GETOUT"; _waypoint0 setWaypointFormation "FILE"; _waypoint0 setWaypointSpeed "NORMAL"; _waypoint0 setWaypointBehaviour "AWARE"; _waypoint1 = _vehgrp addWaypoint [getMarkerPos "ai_move",0]; _waypoint1 setWaypointType "MOVE"; _waypoint1 setWaypointFormation "FILE"; _waypoint1 setWaypointSpeed "NORMAL"; _waypoint1 setWaypointBehaviour "AWARE"; }; sleep 50; //--- delay between rounds _i = _i + 1; };

Hello all! So in an attempt to keep this short, I've got a while loop that is running which (is supposed to) spawn a group of AI and then have them run to a marker known as "ai_move". Everything works great. The AI spawn in the first go and will run to the marker, however in every consecutive loop, nothing happens. My suspect is that it has to do with the naming of the groups (i.e. I am using the BIS func to spawn group), thus not allowing it keep spawning in a group when the name already exists? I have encountered this same problem before and would love any and all help from someone who has experience with this / knows what the problem is! All the code is commented and marked for use by anyone of course if they need! Additionally, the vehicle group that spawns, the driver will get out of the car and move to next way point, however the soldiers inside do not. I suspect it's due to the 2nd soldier group spawned not joining the driver group thus following his waypoint? Thank you in advance for anyone who helps! _i = 1; while { _i < 21 } do { // hint "DEBUG - LOOP IS RUNNING"; // SELECTS A RANDOM LOCATION TO SPAWN AI FROM MARKERS PLACED ON MAP _spawnloc = ["spawn_1", "spawn_2", "spawn_3", "spawn_4", "spawn_5", "spawn_6", "spawn_7", "spawn_8", "spawn_9", "spawn_10", "spawn_11", "spawn_12", "spawn_13", "spawn_14", "spawn_15", "spawn_16", "spawn_17", "spawn_18", "spawn_19", "spawn_20", "spawn_21", "spawn_22", "spawn_23", "spawn_24", "spawn_25", "spawn_26", "spawn_27", "spawn_28"] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom; // SELECTS A GROUP TO SPAWN - FOUND USING CfgGroups _group = ["rhsgref_group_national_infantry_patrol", "rhsgref_group_national_infantry_squad1", "rhsgref_group_national_infantry_squad2"] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom; // SPAWNS THE GROUP NAMED _aiGRP _aiGRP = [getMarkerPos _spawnloc, INDEPENDENT, (configfile >> "CfgGroups" >> "Indep" >> "rhsgref_faction_nationalist" >> "rhsgref_group_national_infantry" >> _group)] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup; // CREATE WAYPOINT AND ATTRIBUTES _waypoint0 = _aiGRP addWaypoint [getMarkerPos "ai_move",0]; _waypoint0 setWaypointType "MOVE"; _waypoint0 setWaypointFormation "STAG COLUMN"; _waypoint0 setWaypointSpeed "FULL"; _waypoint0 setWaypointBehaviour "AWARE"; // ON LOOP # 1, 11, 14, 17 - SPAWN A VEHICLE AS WELL if ( _i == 1 || _i == 11 || _i == 14 || _i == 17) then { // SAME AS ABOVE JUST USING VEHICLE SET MARKERS _vehiclespawnloc = ["vehspawn_1", "vehspawn_2"] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom; _vehspawngroup = ["rhsgref_group_national_infantry_patrol", "rhsgref_group_national_infantry_squad1", "rhsgref_group_national_infantry_squad2"] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom; // IF STATEMENT MAKING SURE THE DROP OFF WAYPOINT IS ON CORRECT SIDE (NORTH OR SOUTH) ACCORDING TO SPAWN LOCATION if (_vehiclespawnloc == "vehspawn_1") then { vehDrop = "vehdropoff_1"; } else { vehDrop = "vehdropoff_2"; }; // SPAWNS VEHICLE IN AND SETS ITS DIRECTION _veh = "I_C_Van_02_transport_F" createVehicle getMarkerPos _vehiclespawnloc; createVehicleCrew _veh; _dirVeh = markerDir _vehiclespawnloc; _veh setDir _dirVeh; // SETS GROUP OF THE DRIVER _vehgrp = group driver _veh; // SPAWNS IN GROUP TO JOIN THE VEHICLE ASSAULT _aiVehGroup = [getMarkerPos _vehiclespawnloc, INDEPENDENT, (configfile >> "CfgGroups" >> "Indep" >> "rhsgref_faction_nationalist" >> "rhsgref_group_national_infantry" >> _vehspawngroup)] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup; // MOVES SPAWNED UNITS INTO VEHICLE {_x moveInCargo _veh} forEach units _aiVehGroup; // SPAWNED UNITS JOIN THE DRIVERS GROUP _aiVehGroup join _vehgrp; // CREATE WAYPOINT AND ATTRIBUTES _waypoint0 = _vehgrp addWaypoint [getMarkerPos vehDrop, 0]; _waypoint0 setWaypointType "UNLOAD"; _waypoint0 setWaypointFormation "FILE"; _waypoint0 setWaypointSpeed "NORMAL"; _waypoint0 setWaypointBehaviour "AWARE"; _waypoint1 = _vehgrp addWaypoint [getMarkerPos "ai_move",0]; _waypoint1 setWaypointType "MOVE"; _waypoint1 setWaypointFormation "FILE"; _waypoint1 setWaypointSpeed "NORMAL"; _waypoint1 setWaypointBehaviour "AWARE"; hint "Vehicle Spawn worked"; }; sleep 50; //--- delay between rounds _i = _i + 1; };

The missions are 8v8 objective based PvP missions but of course if you can only field 7 men on the day then we'll make sure to match you with a squad of the same numbers. This is something we'll all discuss on the day before we kick off the event. We will have an official Twitch Stream broadcasting the event but you are of course welcome to stream it to your followers too. There will be 20 observer slots available per mission for those teams on standby to observe others. Make sure to follow our VKNPMC Twitter for regular updates. EQUIPMENT There will be no crazy sights or equipment here. You will be armed with an AR and the basics. This event is to test your individual skill as players but more importantly how efficient you are as a fighting unit. HOW TO SIGN UP 1) Contact me directly (add me and message me) 2) Reach us on steam via our tournament page and join the group Steam Tournament Page 4) Contact one of our members via our WEBSITE MAPS You are welcome to practice / strategize before the tournament on all of the maps that will be played. Here is the link to all the tournament maps on the workshop: HERE Looking forward to seeing you all on the battlefield! VIKING OUT.

Seems to have gotten me stuck after an hour or so of searching. 1) Array of 10 unit names 2) Use Bis_fnc_selectRandom from them to choose one random of them. 3) *ISSUE* I want to create a new array of the remaining 9 units (minus the one that was random). // Array of all possible locations (items are pens for placement reasons) _potentialLoc = [bomb1,bomb2,bomb3,bomb4,bomb5,bomb6,bomb7,bomb8,bomb9,bomb10]; // selects randomized location for bomb _bombRandom = _potentialLoc call BIS_fnc_selectRandom; // gets position of randomly selected bomb _bombLoc = getPosATL _bombRandom; //Creates the bomb box and then the detonante script bombActual = createVehicle ["CUP_ammobednaX", _bombLoc, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"]; _disarmBomb = [bombActual] execVM "detonate.sqf"; // Create new array of remaining false bomb locations // HERE IS MY ISSUE _fakeBombLoc = _potentialLoc - _bombRandom; sleep 3; hint str _fakeBombLoc; // [1,2,3] When attempting to print it out, I still get the full list of 10 bomb locations despite. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Figured out the issue. Previous code: _fakeBombLoc = _potentialLoc - _bombRandom; Fixed code: _fakeBombLoc = _potentialLoc - [_bombRandom];

Has anybody found a solution to this? Seems quite odd that a fix for this hasnt been found,

Sure thing! Toss me an invite and we can discuss. I'll remove from the workshop then since you are nearly done.

@Wyqer - I've gone ahead and created the port over to Al Rayak a few days ago. More than welcome to steal from me and add it to your workshop / github. Just a note: 1) I manually placed some ACE modules down for my specific squad play style, but you can remove those and then it will be back to the orginial setup. 2) I've added a few of the MRAPs to the vehicle menu 3) Added a few more objects to the building menu. I've also been planning to port to more terrains, so if you have any in mind, happy to help! Feel free to add me on Steam to discuss more.

Solved the warning message to the player issue by utilizing the same method as Larrow mentioned above. Thanks so much for this guys! Hope I can return the favor to the community

@Larrow - Awesome! It works like a charm. Thanks so much for this. Really appreciate the explanation as well as I am still learning. @killzone_kid - That is a plan of mine. I also managed to do that when this whole thing was targeting one VIP player. If he steps out of the trigger area, it would spawn some text informing him. And then a second trigger that checked if the VIP was not in the area, would wait 15 seconds (if the criteria still matched) and then would kill them. Any ideas on how best to achieve this? Also with the idea that it would take effect for all of the players. They are on IND team and can make them any group via "this group alpha;" if need be for example.

@R0adki11 & @Dachi - Saw you guys do some PvP TvT type games. Wanted to see if you are interested in the squad vs squad tournament we got going.

@michael poole - We have another tournament coming up. Check the details above. Let me know if you and your squad are interested this time around! =)

@.kju Sounds good! Just so I can keep track. What is your steam name and the clan name? Also add me on steam! http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197961489650/

Sure @.kju! Currently the missions are one life per, no respawn. 8v8 objective based missions. Once player's die, they go into spectate mode. Weapons are the basic ARs (Spars, AKs, etc) with minimal scoped (ACO Dots). Each mission has its own objective. Some are destroy truck, hostage rescue, escape area, VIP etc. etc. You're welcome to download and check out he maps before the tournament as well. Let me know if you and your squad are interested as we are limited to 8 teams.

*bump - Time changed to 18:00 CET

I've found that this happens sometimes when the AI are not all grouped to the leader. So they will jump out and then immediately jump back in. Meaning that the driver is Alpha 1-1 and the passengers are Alpha 1-2. Hope this helps!

The missions are 8v8 objective based PvP missions but of course if you can only field 7 men on the day then we'll make sure to match you with a squad of the same numbers. This is something we'll all discuss on the day before we kick off the event. We will also be streaming the event but you are of course free to stream it to your followers too. 7th of January 12:00 GMT noon start time See you there! P.S. - There will be no crazy sights or equipment here either. You will be armed with an AR and the basics. This event is to test your individual skill as players but more importantly how efficient you are as a fighting unit.

Hey everyone, I've tried I think 30 variations of how to achieve this with no luck at all! Any help would be appreciated! Goal: Display one line of text for one group of players (p = group this;) and another line of text to another group of players (j = group this;) once the trigger activates all of which are BLUFOR side. Trigger: Once unit (journalist) leaves certain area, ON ACTIVATION = null=[]execVM "journalist.sqf"; journalist.sqf (Attempt 1) {titleText ["You must stay close to the compound! Get back there or you will forfeit!", "PLAIN", 2]; } forEach units j; {titleText ["The journalist has gone too far from the compound! Get him back there or you will forfeit!", "PLAIN", 2]; } forEach units p; This not only does not display the different text per group, but also will show up for any players who are playing as independent. journalist.sqf (Attempt 2) if (group player == j) then { titleText ["You must stay close to the compound! Get back there or you will forfeit!", "PLAIN", 2]; }; if (group player == p) then { titleText ["The journalist has gone too far from the compound! Get him back there or you will forfeit!", "PLAIN", 2]; }; Same issues here arise. Same text for all units including those on independent side. journalist.sqf (Attempt 3) switch (side) do { case west: { titleText ["You must stay close to the compound! Get back there or you will forfeit!", "PLAIN", 2]; }; case resistance: { null }; }; I've even said Ill display one generic message to only BLUFOR units, but still Independent see the text as well. Please help!

Hey jshok! I appreciate the help, but no go Im afraid. No users see anything with that method. I'm even willing to settle for just one generic message for BLUFOR but it seems that IND sees the message regardless of what I do.
