Looking for help with my Unsung Sector Control mission

[Looking for help with my Unsung Sector Control mission]

I need help fixing (7, currently) fairly easy issues with my mission I'm working on. Workflow is mostly using my private Gitlab (Issues, ToDos) and Dash as a preferred (but not mandatory, you can use whatever IDE you want) editor.

It requires Unsung mod, which can be found here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=943001311

Mission already contains of scripts (both community i.e. EOS, ATM Airdrop, CHVD and couple of my own ones) and I think the completion drifts somewhere around 70%, although it's already playable and we're having so much fun playing it. 

There are plans to publish the mission on Steam's workshop and port it over to other maps, since currently it's created on Rung Sat island.

 

What I need from you:

* Basic ability to work under source control (git)

* Ability to write SQF scripts

* Discord installed on your PC for communication

 

What I can offer:

* Private gitlab server for code/version collaboration

* Admin rights for testing the mission on my private dedicated server

* Fame and glory in mission's credits ;) 

* Testing and playing the actual mission

 

 

Best way to get in touch with me is to add me on Discord: Darjusz#3775

Looking forward for collaboration.

Exactly. It all dwells down to how much advanced (and flexible) you want to have your mission. Personally, I'm a huge fan of reusability, so I'd take the database approach. Also, my job is related to databases so it's kinda my profession deviation :)

@crewt you are absolutely right that this might be a little bit of an overkill for a single mission. However, the database approach allows you to continue the mission even after server randomly crashes/restarts. 

 

@polishmartyr I don't know about any frameworks because I haven't yet dug up the subject deep enough, but writing your own one will definitely increase your coding skills which might pay back in the future

Check extDB3. It will solve your issue however you'll need to write some custom scripting and database understanding to handle mission progress saving and loading.

[[SOLVED] How to detect if player has killed enemy]

In the functions folder there is a file called setSkill.sqf and right down on line 13 it adds an event handler to spawned units for his kill counter script, I hooked into this and changed some code.

 

Have you had to provide any additional parameter to the addHandler in the setSkill.sqf for the script to know which player shot the bad guy (which player add the 250 cash to)?

I'm trying to hook up Arma's rank system and somehow count numbers of kills for each player and use setRank at different number of kills to promote players.

[Dash - SQF Editor]

@nevada_scout Thank you for your excellent work on the editor. Any updates on when you anticipate releasing updates?

[ARMA 3 Crashes to Desktop on Server Join !!! HELP!!!!!]

Have you tried removing the game entirely and redownloading it back?

[disable voice (VON) in lobby]

According to Biki you can disable the VoN in your server.cfg.

[Set hotkeys for scroll menu options?]

I think it all hinges on finding a proper function to call. Then only thing to do would be to bind that key to that function. However, I might be totally wrong on this

[Error "'author/' is not a value"]

Problem exists on my side as well. How I can determine which mod is causing that error to show? I probably might be able to fix the files myself but I don't know where to start.
