i still cant understand where to search for a tree-list of this classes ! thats probably the key problem!

Editor > Tools > Config Viewer.

 

Objects/vehicles/units are in "CfgVehicles"

Mines are in "CfgAmmo"

[Custom Animation for mission]

You'll have to create an addon containing the custom animation data.

[help on bubble script 2.0]

For example, a way to get the class of every single available object in the game:

_allObjectClasses = ("getNumber (_x >> 'scope') == 2" configClasses (configFile >> "CfgVehicles")) apply {configName _x};

The string is used to filter more thoroughly. To get a list of all civilian cars in the game:

_allCivilianCarClasses = ("
	(getNumber (_x >> 'scope') == 2)			// 0:private, 1:protected, 2:public
	and {(getNumber (_x >> 'side') == 3)			// 0:east, 1:west, 2:indep, 3:civ
	and {(getText (_x >> 'vehicleClass') == 'Car')}}	// 'Car', 'Armored', 'Ship', 'Air', etc...
" configClasses (configFile >> "CfgVehicles")) apply {configName _x};

The config values you can filter for can be found here, or in the in-game config viewer.

the problem still needing an answer is how randomize units in efficient way, so it can randomly spawn every possible military unit/vehicle of its faction...

 

The most efficient way is to define an array of classnames, but is not dynamic.

Instead you could pull a bunch of classnames from the "CfgVehicles" config using the configProperties/configClasses commands in which you filter for scope, vehicle type and side/faction. This should only be done once, at the start of the script.

 

You should also remember not to spawn a new script for every single vehicle.

It's much better in my opinion to have one script that handles every vehicle, with sleeps in it to prevent performance decreases.

here is the actual code i wish to make simpler:

This is run on the server right?

What is the context this script would be used in?

Do you know why the script uses "playableUnits" instead of "allPlayers"?

 

There is some massive potential for optimization in this script, but as they say: premature optimization is the root of all evil.

You'll have to find a balance between optimization and readability.

 

Doing something like:

playerSarray = [];
{playerSarray = playerSarray + [_x];playerSarray = playerSarray + [20] } foreach playableUnits;

Is very inefficient and won't actually work since it creates a blacklist array with the wrong format.

Rather do:

_posBlacklist = playableUnits apply {[_x,20]};
_posRandom = [randomplayerpos,5,25,5,0,0.3,0,_posBlacklist] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos

I'll look into the rest of the script tomorrow

Obviously I can't fix AI not walking over composite objects such as the carrier.

In the Malden NATO mission (which is the only one with a carrier), you can always purchase AI at one of the other bases instead.

[Vehicle interaction menu with repair button]

In my opinion, the easiest way to make this is to add an addAction to the player which checks whether your cursorTarget is a vehicle and that it's not too far away etc.

 

Look into the setUserActionText command on how to change the action button into an icon.

This is the repair icon: "\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\Actions\repair_ca.paa".

 

If you need a specific help, link your code.

[how do I find nearest vehicle then assign as cargo for that vehicle]

nearestObjects takes class names or config parents.

There are no vehicles with a  "sarheli0"/"sarheli1"/"sarheli2" classname, nearestObjects won't find anything.

_nObj will therefore be an empty array, and _veh will be undefined.

 

Use something like:

_nObj = nearestObjects [casPos,["Helicopter"],100];

 

If you want to find the nearest vehicle from sarheli0/sarheli1/sarheli2 do:

 

_helis = [sarheli0,sarheli1,sarheli2];
_helisSorted = [_helis,[],{casPos distance _x}] call BIS_fnc_sortBy;
_veh = _helisSorted select 0;

Got a juicy update for you guys!

Files uploaded to steam and to the dropbox link in the original post.

• Added: Rudimentary ACE support (Not all ACE setting combinations have been tested for mission-breaking bugs).
  • No need for editing the mission, just enable ACE.
  • Mission-side healing scripts disabled in favor of ACE medical.
  • ACE items are automatically added to arsenal
  • ACE logistics (rearm, refuel, repair) force-disabled in favor of mission-side servicing.
  • ACE pylons force-disabled

• Added: Lobby parameter for saving non-purchased equipment (disabled by default).

• Added: Approximate map marker during mortar strike on base.

• Fixed: Conflict between steam mission name and verifying script (Steam-version was not hostable on dedi).

CUP and RHS versions coming *soon*.

[How to hide multiple objects with one addAction]

Harzach's suggestion works. If you want each rock to have its own addAction, do the following:

 

_listRocks = [rock1,rock2,rock3,rock4];

{
	_x addAction ["Move Rock",{hideObject (_this select 0);}];
} forEach _listRocks;

You can look up the commands on the scripting commands wiki if you don't understand some of them.

[Defining Configs in description.ext]

You cannot edit the configFile in description.ext as far as I'm aware, so you cannot give custom "init" eventhandlers or useractions to a vehicle config.

This only works through making an addon.

 

If you want to have an addAction that works without adding it to every spawned vehicle you have few options:

• Add it to the player.
• Use a mission eventhandler such as getInMan/InventoryOpened/... to give an addAction.
• Use a loop that checks all objects in the mission and adds the action when required.

Is there an MHQ that we could then TP directly to?

You can purchase a "construction truck", which you can use to place a permanent FOB. FOB's can be teleported to, and you can also purchase weapons, vehicles and AI here.

There is no MHQ as I feel that it might make the mission a bit too easy.

Is it difficult to port to other islands or get it to use mods like RHS etc ?

Not very difficult, I've also made some CUP and Unsung versions (not on workshop). The mission doesn't automatically utilize modded assets though, it must be edited for them to be used.

Problem on malden blue ... AI have REAL difficulty getting into the helo on the carrier :(

 

Sadly I cannot do anything about this. If you put the helicopter in the middle of this ship instead of near the side, they'll get in more easily

Has everything been tested to re-initialize properly after saving/resuming?

 

Saving should be disabled. While it works in single player, the mission is best played on a dedicated server in the same vein as Domination, Insurgency etc.

EvorA

Description

EvorA is a COOP CTI game mode derived from the “Evolution Red” type missions in ArmA 2. While this mission can be played in single player or from a local host, it is recommended to host EvorA from a dedicated server. The mission is incredibly optimized for both clients and servers after a long period of development, allowing most players to have an above-average performance.

The objective of the mission is to clear a number of heavily guarded objectives in sequence. A radio tower is present in each objective which must be destroyed to stop enemy reinforcements. Enemies become harder the further in the mission, so solid teamwork may be required to complete to complete the mission. Neutralizing enemies, destroying radio towers, and clearing objectives rewards points. These points can be used to unlock better equipment, purchase vehicles, and recruit AI. While you start off with only a few bases, you can build more using a special vehicle. You may also get the opportunity to capture airfields that allow you to deploy fixed-wing assets.

Depending on your skill and teamwork, EvorA takes about 8 hours to complete. Finishing or restarting the mission resets your progress. However, each session plays differently due to thorough randomization. There is no grinding, no leaderboards, and no databases in EvorA.

[List of all hidden texture inits]

Yes with a mod I meant.

 

I think the .p3d doesn't have the texture selections set up in model builder.

I can't verify or change this as it is binarized, and I don't think i can make a mod using edited binarized assets by BIS.

Here's an untextured helmet model not used in the game.

 

I've tried retexturing this helmet model, but it doesn't seem to allow it (other helmet works just fine).

That said, I'm pretty much a newbie at this.

 

Was anybody able to retexture this model?

Is it necessary to edit the .p3d file to get this to work (which I guess is not possible since it's binarized).

It's a windows 10 issue since the creators update. I've heard Overwatch has the same problem.

 

The game freezing when alt-tabbing is most common if you do it during a loading screen.

No, I didn't. I wasn't aware the classname had changed. Have any others changed, do you know?

No other classnames have changed. The reason the Marid's was changed is because its gunner seat has been removed and the RCWS given to the commander.

I spawned the Marid in script and then crewed it in script. Is that the same thing?

 

Did you use the classname of the new Marid?

"O_APC_Wheeled_02_rcws_v2_F"

Little error: the Nyx driver cam info panel shows only a black screen (camera is inside the vehicle geometry).

[Vehicle Interiors - Feedback]

Love the new interiors, especially the Varsuk with its messy cables. Makes it feel very real.

 

One little thing that bothers me a bit is the very low volume of the reloading of the cannon on all of the tanks in interior view. It sounds as if the loading happens in a tank on the opposite side of the battlefield.

 

I haven't been in an actual tank but I'd imagine reloading process makes a lot of mechanical noise.

Yes, the commander seat is in the right of the turret of the scorcher/sochor, while the gunner sits on the left. The only hatch is positioned on the left side though, so only the gunner should be able to turn out.

 

In the scorcher currently only the commander is able to turn out which opens the hatch above the gunner, and creates a camera floating above the vehicle, while the gunner cannot.

 

In the sochor currently both gunner and commander can turn out, with the gunner not opening the hatch.

[Simple trigger help]

addActions already spawn their code, so you are safe to use sleeps in there.

[Why dosent _caller work in MP?]

addAction code is run on the computer that triggers the action (the player's computer).

addScore only gives score to people when run on the (dedicated) server.

 

You will need to send the addScore command to be executed on the server. This can be done using remoteExecCall:

_caller = _this select 1;
_score = 10;
[_caller,_score] remoteExecCall ["addScore",2];

Where the "2" is the id of the server which is always 2.
