I was wondering if it was possible to create a script where, once a player goes down, their unconscious position could be marked on the map for all playable units to see. Scouring the internet I found a script where the positions would be revealed to the medics on the map findDisplay 12 displayCtrl 51 ctrlAddEventHandler ["Draw",{ if ([player] call ace_medical_fnc_isMedic) then { { if (_x getVariable ["ACE_unconcious",false]) then { _this select 0 drawIcon ['\A3\ui_f\data\igui\cfg\actions\heal_ca.paa',[1,0,0,1],position _x,24,24,0,name _x,1,0.03,'TahomaB','right'] }; false } count allPlayers }; }] So, to make modify it a bit further would it be possible to edit it like so to make the positions be visible to all playable units? findDisplay 12 displayCtrl 51 ctrlAddEventHandler ["Draw",{ if (player) then { { if (_x getVariable ["ACE_unconcious",false]) then { _this select 0 drawIcon ['\A3\ui_f\data\igui\cfg\actions\heal_ca.paa',[1,0,0,1],position _x,24,24,0,name _x,1,0.03,'TahomaB','right'] }; false } count allPlayers }; }]

Is anyone aware of how one disables the loot dropped by the AI or at least blacklists the default ravage items found on a corpse (eg: tin can, documents, notepad) stuff. Can it be done via the ravage modules or would i need to create like a loot blacklist system? Thanks in advance!

In the mission that I am building I am trying to create a small squad of super-soldiers to go up against my players. I have done a mission like this before in vanilla by just adding this addEventHandler ["HandleDamage",{damage (_this select 0)+((_this select 2)/15)}]; into the init fields of the units in question and it has worked well enough in the past with the AI taking a lot more damage than normal before going down. This time around though I am using ACE and the above script just doesn't seem to work at all. I am fairly sure this might be down to how ACE handles damages but I am not versed enough in scripting to know how to modify (or even re-write) the script so it will play nicely with ACE. I am also aware that in the ACE medical setting I can tinker around with how much damage players and AI can take before going unconscious but that seems to apply a global effect when I only want to apply this to a selection of units. Anyone have any ideas or experience trying to do something similar with ACE?

In a multiplayer survival mission I have going, I am trying to prevent my re-spawning players from simply walking up to their own bodies and looting their weapons and ammo -but- I don't want to disable looting altogether because I need them to be able to loot the enemy (OPFOR/Indep) during the course of the mission. So I tried this in an antiloot.sqf: and called it via the init.sqf....but it didn't seem to work. I'm not the best with using scripts so if someone knows what I am doing wrong or has an alternative code for preventing friendly looting i'd be delighted with any help I can get. Cheers

Is there some documentation regarding the procedure of firing the AGM-65K? I've just been flying the A-10C and the AG IIR has me stumped as it doesnt respond to laser guidance. Does the weapon require a GPS guidance?

I have setup a Mobile HQ where a trigger spawned vehicle can be interacted with via addAction and be set as an infantry spawn point. However, doing so seems to create a respawn marker on the map: Example . Is there any way to remove this from the map or make it invisible? For context, I am calling in a BIS_fnc_addRespawnPosition via a script from an addAction that looks like this: params ["_target", "_caller", "_id", "_args"]; [ side _caller, _target, "MHQ" ] call BIS_fnc_addRespawnPosition; [(_this select 0) removeaction (_this select 2)]; I don't have a clue as to how to proceed from here in hiding that respawn marker. Any help would be amazing, ty!!!

Of course! All this time and it was the brackets that stumped me 😅Thanks for the help

The idea here is that on picking up a toolkit I want a named trigger deleted. I have tried debugging via hints to see if I can get a trigger to activate by picking up a toolkit that would be placed in a player's backpack via "ToolKit" in backpackItems player; but the hint doesn't fire. Anyone know how I could get this to work? Thanks

Heya, this is an awesome script! I do want to check though that the features say but you also point out that ACE is needed for medical pain integration. I take it that this means the script wont work if I run ACE without the medical module? Just a very quick test showed that some functionality is lost (checking exposure) with the loss of the medical menu but I thought I would check with you anyway. Thanks again!

Thanks, I might try and do it via a script. Ideally though looking to execute it via a trigger and "ToolKit" in _items as part of the trigger condition doesn't work to activate the hint.

Hey all, I found this bit of code from the forums pulled from the Eastwinds campaign used to make a designated street lamp flicker. The scrip works as intended for a single street lamp as defined by the script but I am having a heck of a time trying to adapt the code to have the same effect on multiple street lights. // Script Adapted from BIS 'EAST WIND' Campaign // Define #define ON 0 #define OFF 0.97 #define LIGHT "light_1_hitpoint" #define DUMMY "BIS_effectDummy" #define DESTROYED "BIS_lightDestroyed" #define SAMPLE "electricity_loop" #define HELIPAD "Land_HelipadEmpty_F" // Parameters private ["_position", "_type", "_timing", "_delay", "_condition"]; _position = [nearestObject getMarkerPos "Lamp_A"] call BIS_fnc_param; _type = [_this, 1, "Land_LampShabby_F", [""]] call BIS_fnc_param; _timing = [_this, 2, [0.25, 0.50], [[]]] call BIS_fnc_param; _delay = [_this, 3, [1, 2], [[]]] call BIS_fnc_param; _condition = [_this, 4, { true }, [{}]] call BIS_fnc_param; // Find Related Objects private "_object"; _object = nearestObject [_position, _type]; // Make Sure Object Found if (isNull _object) exitWith { ["Object at position (%1), of type (%2) not found", _position, _type] call BIS_fnc_error; }; // Light Starts Off _object setHit [LIGHT, OFF]; //Hit Event Handler _object addEventhandler ["Hit", { (_this select 0) setvariable [DESTROYED, true]; }]; // Effect private "_setState"; _setState = { private ["_object", "_on"]; _object = [_this, 0, objNull, [objNull]] call BIS_fnc_param; _on = [_this, 1, true, [true]] call BIS_fnc_param; // The Dummy Object private "_dummy"; _dummy = objNull; // Has the Dummy Object Been Created? if (isNil { _object getVariable DUMMY }) then { // Create Dummy Object private "_dummy"; _dummy = createVehicle [HELIPAD, position _object, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"]; // Attach to Light Object _dummy attachTo [_object, [0,0,2]]; // Store _object setVariable [DUMMY, _dummy]; } else { _dummy = _object getVariable DUMMY; }; // Effect On Or Off if (_on) then { // Play Effect _dummy setDamage 0; _dummy say3D SAMPLE; _object setHit [LIGHT, ON]; } else { // Destroy Effect _dummy setDamage 1; _object setHit [LIGHT, OFF]; }; }; // Flag private "_lightOn"; _lightOn = false; // Main Loop while _condition do { // Exit If Destroyed if (!isNil { _object getvariable DESTROYED }) exitWith { // Light Off _object setHit [LIGHT, OFF]; // Log ["Light object (%1) was destroyed", _object] call BIS_fnc_log; }; // Blinking Loop for "_i" from 0 to 5 do { // Set State if (_lightOn) then { [_object, false] call _setState; _lightOn = false; } else { [_object, true] call _setState; _lightOn = true; }; // Timing sleep (_timing call BIS_fnc_randomNum); }; // Sleep sleep (_delay call BIS_fnc_randomNum); }; // Does It Exist? if (!isNil { _object getVariable DUMMY }) then { // The Dummy private "_dummy"; _dummy = _object getVariable DUMMY; // Detach And Delete detach _dummy; deleteVehicle _dummy; }; // Return true; The way the script is written, it seems the lamp needs to be defined via a marker. In order to effect multiple lamps I tried defining multiple markers via an array _lamps = [Lamp_A, Lamp_B, Lamp_C] and tried calling the position via the array but that doesn't seem to work. The only way ive gotten it to work is to run multiple versions of the script, each defining a different marker but that is terribly inefficient and is probably not great on the network load. Anyone have any ideas how this script could be tidied up to effect multiple lamps?

Thank you so much. Will just insert it to initPlayerLocal and see how it goes. 😀 Thanks again!

Hey Pierre, Thanks for the reply! Does the following look about right? I didnt get any errors when in the editor but haven't as of yet tested it in MP. findDisplay 12 displayCtrl 51 ctrlAddEventHandler ["Draw",{ { if (_x getVariable ["ACE_unconcious",false]) then { _this select 0 drawIcon ['\A3\ui_f\data\igui\cfg\actions\heal_ca.paa',[1,0,0,1],position _x,24,24,0,name _x,1,0.03,'TahomaB','right'] }; false } count allPlayers }]; Also if I may ask, for a dedicated server would this be better off in an init.sqf or initPlayerLocal.sqf? Thanks again for the help!

Sorry for the bump. Would still love any help as I haven't been able to get it to work.

I've recently setup a dedicated server and installed Ace on to the mission. Problem is even logged on as admin I cannot seem to make the server override the client settings. So I figured the next option is to force the override via the cba_setting.sqf but I don't exactly know what to put in that file. I took a look in CBA setting github page, do I just enter 'On Server 2 Force: Server > All' into the sqf?

Thanks for the reply but this is for a workshop mission (Antistasi). I could probably unpbo the file and do it that way maybe but I was hoping there was a more straightforward way via the CBA setting to just override the clients. I'll look into importing setting though, thanks

Hello all, I have been having this problem on and off throughout my time playing vanilla and modded ARMA in the two game-modes that I predominantly play (I&A and Zeus). However, after ARMA shifted to the x64 platform I stopped having random CTDs when playing vanilla but the problem for modded gameplay still exists - noticeably, the problem ONLY ever arises when I am in an air vehicle. I could be on the server for 3 hrs as infantry, in a ground vehicle and I will experience no issues whatsoever in my modded server (or any public server for that matter), but If I spend anywhere between 10 - 30 minutes in a Ghosthawk/Kajman/A64D/Mi8/Blackfish/Y32 (basically any vanilla or modded helicopter or VTOL) I will CTD. The error I get on the server is the generic Steam Authenticaton Failure. This problem is a sort of carry-over from my previous thread 3 months ago with the only difference been that it a different gamemode (Antistasi 1.8.0) been played on a dedicated server at home (the server is hosted on a different PC) and I am the only client affected. None of my friends have experienced this issue on the server as they primarily don't fly any air vehicles but as I occasionally do provide transport/CAS, I am always subjected to this issue. -------------------SYSTEM SPECS---------------------------------- Win10 i7-8700K CPU 16GB RAM (x2 8Gb @ 2133) 1080Ti Graphics card ---------------Arma 3 Steam Startup Parameters---------------- -malloc=system -----------------------MODS----------------------------------------- CBA_A3 RHSUSAF RHSAFREF RHSGREF ShackTac User Interface Taskforce Arrowhead Radio (beta) Blastcore - Phoenix Unofficial Phoenix Upload JSRS Soundmod JSRS Soundmod - AFREF Soundpack JSRS Soundmod - GREF Soundpack JSRS Soundmod - USAF Soundpack JSRS Soundmod - Reloading Sounds ------------------------Attached RPT(s)--------------------- https://justpaste.it/50t4x https://justpaste.it/3zngh https://justpaste.it/6vrs1 https://justpaste.it/4pdtg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ It has to be said that while the issue mentioned in the previous thread was resolved by removing the JSRS mod, I wanted to check if the RPT files show any errors related to that mod that could be triggering the CTD this time around -or- if there is any clue as to what might be causing this issue altogether. It is also worth nothing that when we first started playing, the server mods only consisted from CBA_A3 to Taskforce Radio (the last 2 mods were added 2 weeks ago) and I did not experience any CTDs when playing with those original mods; that said during that initial period I was not in the cockpit long enough to trigger the CTD as it usually takes AT LEAST ~ 10-15 minutes before I get struck by one. Anyhelp or insight would greatly be appreciated. Thanks again.

Hi all, So I have a building (a military cargo house) in my MP mission that I have locked by putting the following into the init field: building1 setVariable ['bis_disabled_Door_1',1,true] I also have a "key" that will unlock the door to said building with: key addAction ["Pickup Key", {deleteVehicle key; building1 setVariable ['bis_disabled_Door_1',0,true];}]; Everything works fine, however, I worry that the animation of a locked door alone might not be enough to inform any players without the key...that they should be looking for said key. In essence, I want to add a hint/system chat to appear whenever a player without the key takes the "Open door" addAction: hint "The door is locked. A key is required!"; The problem is, I don't know how to add that hint into the setup I currently have. Simply adding the hint into the init field of the building causes the hint to fire when the mission launches (which is not ideal) and I am not well versed in scripting to be able to figure this one out by myself. So if anyone can help me work out this problem -or- suggest an alternative method where I can lock and unlock a building door with the suggested hint integrated within, I would be so so grateful. Thanks again!

@stburr91 Well, I'll be...that is actually what I was after! It looks a breeze to implement even without the Vop objects (I was just going to re-purpose the ACE vehicle keys anyway). Thanks my dude!

Cheers thanks, I think I see what needs to be done now. Thanks for the advice.

@wogz187 Hey thanks for the link, having taken a look at GOM's post I am not entirely sure how I can best adapt it for my needs. From GOM's post: Unless I am misunderstanding something (again, I am not very good at this) but it looks like the script is: a) checking if a player is the owner of the building b) adds the "unlock door" option to the scroll menu if the player is the owner of the building -else- it fires the systemchat with "This door is locked!"; If that's correct, then, so far so good! However, I am not building a big mission, I am just trying to keep access to a single building restricted until a player interacts with it after collecting a key. In which case, how exactly do I adapt GOM's script to reflect that via this "ownership" method? Would something like this work: mission initialises with target building locked -> player picks up the key (eg: a notebook) -> this sets the player as the owner of the building? GOM mentions: _building = cursorObject; _owner = player; //this sets the player as owner and locks all doors and adds all respective actions _init = [_building,_owner] call GOM_fnc_initBuildingDoors; As someone struggling with scripting...how do you run this script mid-mission? Can't this be done via triggers? I am a bit puzzled still, sorry!

So basically I am trying to setup a trigger based sound loop for an upcoming multiplayer mission. I have converted my audio file from mp3 to .ogg and have placed it in a 'sounds' folder within the Arma 3 mission folder. I have also setup the 'description.ext' file with the following script: class CfgSounds { sounds[] = {}; class ambient1 { name = "ambient1"; sound[] = {"\sounds\ambient1.ogg", 15, 1}; titles[] = {}; }; }; Within the trigger, which is set to trigger on the presence of BLUFOR in the trigger area I have the following in the init field: nul = [thisTrigger] spawn {while {true} do {(_this select 0) say3D "spooky1"; sleep 150;};}; As far as I can tell, this does seem to get the job done when testing in the editor..but I have a few issues. 1) I don't know if this only executes locally and so would go unnoticed by other players? Would it be better to initialise the trigger as: [thisTrigger, ["ambient1", 15, 1]] remoteExec ["say3d", 0, true]; to get everyone else to hear the sound as well? and 2) When testing the sound, it seems to originate from the centre of the trigger as opposed to uniformly within the area of the trigger, as in, the sound gets louder when you approach where the centre of the trigger zone would be and fades away as you proceed further away from it. In my particular case though I want the sound to be at a consistent level throughout the trigger area and cant seem to tweak that in the coding. Does anyone have any advice on the matter? Edit: I should add I am running ACE and don't know if that is/would effect anything.

So I entered the code as is into the trigger activation and I get this error (https://imgur.com/DIB1mV6)..it says I am missing a ";" Edit: Nvm, the PlaySound "ambient1" needed the ";" at the end. All sorted, thanks for the help!

Cheers, I'll try the updated one in the editor now. One last thing, if I may, I assume that this would all be identical if it was a music track instead..only changing cfgsound to cfgmusic and in the trigger changing playSound with playMusic. Just wanted to check there wasn't any extra steps with the latter. Thanks again for the help! 👍

Thank you, that is pretty much what I have been after!
