    GetIn EH not firing

    Sgt. Dennenboom replied to Lorenz94's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING

    Some helicopter pilot and co-pilot slots don't have eject capabilities. Instead of using: _unit action ["eject",_vehicle]; Use something that checks whether you're being booted from a heli: if (_vehicle isKindOf "helicopter") then {moveOut _unit;} else {_unit action ["eject",_vehicle];}; It's also possible to check whether the pilot is able to eject using the config (beware, jets DLC ejection seats count as not able to eject here): getNumber (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> typeOf _vehicle >> "driverCanEject") == 0;

    _greaterThan = {if (_randomNumber > 500) then {_case = 1};}; Never actually runs this code, so _case = {}, which breaks the switch as you compare it with numbers. Your code fixed: _randomNumber = 1000; _randomNumber = floor random _randomNumber; _case = {}; if (_randomNumber > 500) then {_case = 1}; if (_randomNumber <= 500) then {_case = 2}; _infoType = {}; switch (_case) do { case 1: {hint format ["%1",_case];}; case 2: {hint format ["%1",_case];}; }; sleep 5; hint "Script is Over"; Though Lucullus' script is cleaner.

    We've had turret and commander turret indicators on vanilla vehicles for quite a while now. Only the driver doesn't have it on most vanilla vehicles, but they function very nicely.

    Only make the UAV gunner Slot available

    Sgt. Dennenboom replied to Justin Bottenbruch's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING

    To lock driver seat: UAV1 lockDriver true; To lock gunner seat: UAV1 lockTurret [[0],true]; This prevents you from connecting to these positions.

    You use deleteAt, which shortens the array immidiatly. Since the count isn't updated each iteration, _i will eventually be larger than the actual size of the array (which gets smaller every iteration).

    You can record just one vehicle, and use that one result to playback 50 different vehicles with a delay. They will all behave in exactly the same way.

    Remove Markers in Local...

    Sgt. Dennenboom replied to TheHypnoo's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING

    You'll have to put the deleteMarker(Local) command in a loop if you want to delete an array of marker strings. So instead of: deleteMarkerLocal "marker_1"; You do: {deleteMarkerLocal _x;} forEach ["marker_1","marker_2","marker_3"];

    CfgAmmo - Need help with this

    Sgt. Dennenboom replied to Constable_'s topic in ARMA 3 - ADDONS - CONFIGS & SCRIPTING

    The error message says exactly what is wrong. class B_30mm_MP_Tracer_Green; class autocannon_30mm_CTWS: B_30mm_MP_Tracer_Green {}; class B_30mm_APFSDS_Tracer_Red; class autocannon_30mm_CTWS: B_30mm_APFSDS_Tracer_Red {}; You've got the "autocannon_30mm_CTWS" class defined twice. You'll need to define two versions of the 30mm_CTWS for the two parents.

    Once you get the hang of the language and its quirks, it won't give you gray hairs anymore. There's not many things more relaxing for me than scripting something to work exactly as you envisioned :D Ofcourse it's not everybody's cup of tea

    Check Distance

    Sgt. Dennenboom replied to Alpine_gremlin's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING

    So your script in an infinite loop could look something like this: _distance = 6.5; while {true} do { if (count (nearestObjects [player,["House","Building"],_distance]) > 0) then { systemChat format ["%1 is inside",name player]; }; sleep 0.1; }; There are also different ways of checking whether a player is inside a building. Killzone Kid made a nice and much more accurate check for whether the player is in a house on this wiki page: lineIntersectsSurfaces

    Make heli land under fire

    Sgt. Dennenboom replied to redivider's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING

    Did you try allowFleeing? Making helicopters land where you want them to is always a bit of a struggle...

    There is a nifty command to get all the objects being slingloaded by a vehicle: ropeAttachedObjects So in a trigger condition that detects you pickup up any kind of cargo: !isNull getSlingLoad heli1 And in a trigger condition that detects you pickup up cargo1 object: cargo1 == getSlingLoad heli1 You do want the enableRopeAttach to be put on the cargo object after it has been dropped where it needs to go, otherwise it can indeed by stolen again! So where you call your detach script add some extra stuff: heli1 setSlingLoad objNull; cargo1 allowRopeAttach false;

    [Help] Rolling Sleeves Script

    Sgt. Dennenboom replied to Crimson Mage's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING

    I'm not sure what you are trying to with the setVariable and toString stuff, it is not necesary if this is in a single script, and in your case doesn't work. I've simplified your script a bit. You should look into the forEach command in the wiki, it's very useful! _items = uniformItems player; player forceAddUniform "marpat1_CamoRS"; {player addItemToUniform _x;} forEach _items; I'm not a modder though, so I do not know how to make equipping the uniform automatically give you the action...

    Dynamic Vehicle Loadouts feedback

    Sgt. Dennenboom replied to granQ's topic in ARMA 3 - DEVELOPMENT BRANCH

    Does anybody have a fix for pylon weapons not being removed by setPylonLoadout when they are added to a non-expected turret? Pylon weapons in turrets which are not the main gunner cannot be gotten through the "weapons" command for manual removal. Pylon image can be gotten through vehicle config: getText (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> typeOf vehicle player >> "Components" >> "TransportPylonsComponent" >> "uiPicture")

    Jets DLC Official Feedback

    Sgt. Dennenboom replied to saul's topic in ARMA 3 - DLC

    The _velInitial variable is updated in the while loop so it doesn't need to be determined twice every iteration. I've copied BIS's function and improved it slightly, so all the variables are the same as theirs.

    General Discussion (dev branch)

    Sgt. Dennenboom replied to DnA's topic in ARMA 3 - DEVELOPMENT BRANCH

    This happens because the plane's "bis_launchState" variable keeps its value 1 (successfull launch) after launch, which means that on the next attach it doesn't wait for the hold button action to actually set this variable to 1. This variable needs to be set to nil or -1 after either detach or launch.
