I'm having a weird issue on dedicated Server(no such issue on local server): When I put an AI soldier of my squad in the driver's seat, after a few seconds, I can't move my viewport, but the game isn't frozen properly. I can get out of the car, issue commands, open map and all that. I wouldn't mind too much as all is back to normal when I get out of the car, BUT unfortunately the AI won't drive on move command, given on map, or viewport at a whatever I am forever frozen to look at. However, there's always one unit in the squad that SORT of works: If i let him drive without being in the car, give him at least one waypoint, then hop in and continue giving him instructions so he's never "ready" all's well. When he's ready, again viewport freezes and I have to get out. If I add more units to the squad, the "drivable" unit changes... Also, when I put any of the other units in the car, it freezes up... There's nothing in the serverlog and I so would love my AI to drive me around. Any ideas what might be causing this? I don't have any mods installed besides CBA3 and AIS, but I never had this issue before...

good idea, I will do that when I find the time... Is there any way to create a more verbose log output?

yeah I guess I just did. For some reason, the doc was missing in my folder and I forgot there was one. I re-downloaded and all's there.

@Psychobastard: Love this revive system! I'm currently testing a persistent map with this and have run into a few issues: when a player disconnects when bleeding out, upon reconnect they will be able to walk again even though the damage is saved. I realize this isn't a fault of your system but was hoping for advice on how to restore the bleedout upon reconnect. Which function would I need to call and how to do this? Also, not sure if you are aware of this, but when a player is in a car that gets blown up and is thrown out of the vehicle in the process, they are able to walk *slowly* while bleeding out... Thanks!

To check for Toolkit see here: I'd start with the basic: 1. start your person off with toolkit 2. check if the condition from thread above returns true 3. create a quad at cursortarget if condition is true then you could add an action to players that has the toolkit check as a condition... add an animation, maybe a broken down bike and that turns into a working bike after a certain time...

I'm spawning in a vehicle that will appear as an airdrop using BIS_fnc_curatorobjectedited. It seems to work without any issues, vehicle spawn, chute is deployed and it lands on the ground unharmed. However, sometimes - seems random - the vehicle is not drivable, i.e. fuel + health are at maximum, the vehicle can be entered, mounted gun works, wheels move left/right, but the engine won't start. if started manually through menu it is turned off right away. I had a more basic initial _spawnPos, and thought maybe that was causing the issue. After finding the below, it wasn't fixed... Hope you can give me a pointer what else to look for. _spawnPos = ([0,0,0] getPos [300,random 360]) vectorAdd [0,0,900 + (random 200)]; _veh = _vehType createVehicle _spawnPos; _veh setPosASL _posNew; [objnull, _veh] call BIS_fnc_curatorobjectedited; ---- EDIT: the old, shoot the car or bump it with another one didn't work, it takes damage but no change in behavior

@t-800aThanks for making this cool generator, I've only played a couple of objectives, still waiting on my new car I was promised though, hehe. Anyway, I've run into one major issue: For some reason, none of the mission specific actions are added to me when I play with my friends. However, when I am the only one in the mission, it all works without any apparent issues. This is all on dedicated server using the Altis flavor, no admin rights to any of the players. From what I can tell, the arsenal, repair station and downloading intel doesn't work when I play with others. as a quick fix, I just put an arsenal box down, but that doesn't have the mission restrictions... Also, I noticed there are no lights in the base, making a spawn in at night time rather onerous. I put some in, if you are interested?

right, I couldn't leave well enough alone. there must be something wrong in your initial setup, because your line works without any issues on my end. Or were you just having issues in MP/dedicated? Because that would have been fixed by remoteExec like so: [_this, {_this addAction ["Open Virtual Arsenal", {["Open",true] spawn BIS_fnc_arsenal}];} ] remoteExecCall ["call",0,true]; Glad it's working for you now in any case!

should have done this before, the test mission I used: arsenal crate drop mission, no mods needed

You should get an error using 'this' in the crate init, both on dedicated and local... seems to me like there's something amiss on your end. Are you sure you updated the mission on the dedicated?

@Eogos: a quick test revealed that you need to use '_this' when declaring the box init for the supply module. do you have scripting errors on? the lines above work fine from scripts and object inits on my dedicated, one of the few things I've never had issues with ;) Mind you I haven't tried the supply module on dedicated, but the lines above definitely work... besides the _crate which needs to be replaced accordingly... I'll fix it in my previous post it definitely works with the support module on dedicated, just gave it a quick testrun, here my 'crate init' for the supply drop support provider: ["AmmoboxInit",[_this,true]] spawn BIS_fnc_arsenal; _this allowdamage false; _this disableai "anim";

I haven't use that module before, BUT if you can put something in the boxes init, just use what I said, replacing _YOURAMMOBOX with 'this' (no underscore here!)

@Eogos I use this in my scripts: ["AmmoboxInit",[_YOURAMMOBOX,true]] spawn BIS_fnc_arsenal; _YOURAMMOBOX allowdamage false; _YOURAMMOBOX disableai "anim"; where '_YOURAMMOBOX' would be the variable pointing to your box/vehicle/whatever lines 2 + 3 are optional obviously... that way an 'Arsenal' option is automatically added to the box, works in SP/MP and on dedicated

Hi, I'm having a slight issue with my respawn setup. Specifically, the respawn of playable characters that are AI at the moment of death. For some reason, they respawn on the exact location where they died, instead of at the respawn module - it works correctly on listening server. There is one respawn module placed on the map called 'respawn_west' and in the description.ext, I use this: // Respawn type, see the table below respawn = 3; // Delay in seconds before playable unit respawns. respawnDelay = 10; // Respawn templates from CfgRespawnTemplates. You can combine any number of them together. respawnTemplates[] = {"Revive","MenuPosition","Spectator"}; // 0 to disable the score table (it can still be opened manually by pressing 'P' key). respawnDialog = 0; // When 1, the score table contains score of all playable units as opposed to players only. aikills = 1; respawnOnStart = -1; I hope there's a fix for this, as it's really annoying to have AI basically take over the map, dying 20+ times in the process.. As a temporary fix, is there a way to turn off respawn for playable characters that are currently AI controlled? or have a 'onRespawn' script for those?

Hi, I was wondering if somebody else is having similar issues with the coop missions like I am or if you can point me in the right direction to fix this... After restart, i.e. after playing Apex missions for the first time it's the worst, or most erratic. Here a few of the symptoms: - When cutscenes are skipped with space, the screen stays all black, respawning in pause menu doesn't do anything. The only way to continue playing is disconnect and reconnect to server - sometimes cutscenes are interrupted early and the deploy screen appears - the first mission always starts with black screen, no cutscene shown at all. you can move(can hear yourself move), shoot and open your inventory, but the screen stays black. The only way to play it is to respawn or reconnect. This is independent of how many times it's been played since server restart. - after all missions have been played, SOMETIMES still blackscreen after cutscenes, curable with reconnect and SOMETIMES respawn. - when the deploy screen shows, it shows correctly that there are 3 respawn tickets available, but when respawning for the first time, it's set to unlimited and stays that way (this is always like this as far as I can tell) - using #vote restart doesn't restart the current mission, but start the next one, or finishes the run This is all on Linux dedicated, not sure if that's part of the issue. However, I haven't had any issues like this with missions downloaded from the workshop or created by myself. Here a snapshot of error messages on the server, mind you the error messages don't seem to change when doing starting the missions, while behavior does! 12:37:22 WARNING: Function 'name' - 80178a00# 142825: lamphalogen_f.p3d has no unit 12:37:22 -

Hi, I was wondering if there's a way to have a script running on the server, independent of the mission currently playing? For example, I found a very convenient earplug script and I'd like to have that available for all missions without having to edit them. I suppose, it could be packaged into a mod, but I was hoping for a less involved solution - I haven't been able to find anything. Thanks!

good to know. are you talking about in the actual script file? that's how you define a function though? I don't see where else I used anything like that ok, so in my example I wouldn't have to worry, as the cfg frameworks takes care of the pre-processing, right? Do i need to add the tag somewhere in the config as well? @barbolani: the initServer.sqf would be the obvious choice for editing the mission, but I'm trying to activate things mission independently.

@SimZor @das attorney: Thanks to the both of you, I got it working! Awesome, this will be a gamechanger and will take away the pain of editing/saving/syncing missions to server. For now, I just have that earplug script working, but this is perfect! I was wondering, is there a preferred approach to do this, or one that performs better for complicated things(CfgFunctions vs preProc)? Also, I'm not sure how to implement the latter, could you give me a for instance? I know about preProc in scripts, would that just be that? Also, I'd appreciate it, if one of you could take a peek at what I did and let me know if there's something redundant/wrong. I wasn't sure about the CfgFunctions part and basically just copied and altered it a bit... is there a need to have all these subclasses? Also, I'd like to make sure again, the script isn't mine and I don't intend to publish it in this state... folder layout: @cap_earplug -mod.cpp -addons - cap_earplug.pbo - cap_earplug - config.cpp - functions -earplug.sqf anyway, here the files: config.cpp: earplug.sqf: if (!isServer) exitWith {}; CAP_earplug_install = { // Prevent earplug from installing twice if(!isNil "cap_earplug_init") exitWith {}; cap_earplug_init = true; diag_log "earplug loading"; CAP_earplug_player_action = { sepa = ["<t color='#ffff33'>Put on ear plugs</t>",{ _u = _this select 1; _i = _this select 2; if (soundVolume == 1) then { 1 fadeSound 0.3; _u setUserActionText [_i,"<t color='#ffff33'>Take off ear plugs</t>"] } else { 1 fadeSound 1; _u setUserActionText [_i,"<t color='#ffff33'>Put on ear plugs</t>"] } },[],-90,false,true,"","_target == vehicle player"]; _this addAction sepa; _this addEventHandler ["Respawn",{ 1 fadeSound 1; (_this select 0) addAction sepa; }]; /* params ["_player"]; _player addAction ["Rappel Self", { [player, vehicle player] call AR_Rappel_From_Heli_Action; }, nil, 0, false, true, "", "[player, vehicle player] call AR_Rappel_From_Heli_Action_Check"]; _player addAction ["Rappel AI Units", { { if(!isPlayer _x) then { sleep 1; [_x, vehicle _x] call AR_Rappel_From_Heli_Action; }; } forEach (units player); }, nil, 0, false, true, "", "[player] call AR_Rappel_AI_Units_From_Heli_Action_Check"]; _player addAction ["Detach Rappel Device", { [player] call AR_Rappel_Detach_Action; }, nil, 0, false, true, "", "[player] call AR_Rappel_Detach_Action_Check"]; _player addEventHandler ["Respawn", { player setVariable ["AR_Actions_Loaded",false]; }]; */ }; if(!isDedicated) then { [] spawn { while {true} do { if(!isNull player && isPlayer player) then { if!(player getVariable ["cap_earplug_action_loaded",false] ) then { player call CAP_earplug_player_action; player setVariable ["cap_earplug_action_loaded",true]; }; }; sleep 5; }; }; }; }; publicVariable "CAP_earplug_install"; [] call CAP_earplug_install; // Install earplug on all clients (plus JIP) // remoteExecCall ["CAP_earplug_install", -2,true];

since it's a mod, it'd have to be packed as a pbo, right? sorry if I'm being a bit daft, but never done a mod for arma, only recently started scripting... right, so to give you a for instance, I'd like this script to be loaded for every player, no matter what the mission is. It's an earplug script I nicked off a mission I downloaded from steam workshop.. sepa = ["<t color='#ffff33'>Put on ear plugs</t>",{ _u = _this select 1; _i = _this select 2; if (soundVolume == 1) then { 1 fadeSound 0.3; _u setUserActionText [_i,"<t color='#ffff33'>Take off ear plugs</t>"] } else { 1 fadeSound 1; _u setUserActionText [_i,"<t color='#ffff33'>Put on ear plugs</t>"] } },[],-90,false,true,"","_target == vehicle player"]; _this addAction sepa; _this addEventHandler ["Respawn",{ 1 fadeSound 1; (_this select 0) addAction sepa; }]; there's other scripts that I'd probably like to add, but for now I'd like to test it with this one. Regarding the repacking, I wasn't so much trying to repack Duda's mod with the above, but just testing if the pbo packing tool worked, and it the packaged pbo was missing most of the files for some reason. I haven't really found a good source for explaining the modding basics. I'll probably just have to wrap my head around it. Thanks for letting me know that Duda probably won't mind a PM. I'll play around a bit more first and then do that very likely when stuck.

thanks guys :) good to know. awesome, thanks a million! This'll be very useful. On that note, I've had an issue packing pbo files and was wondering if I'm using the wrong tool. In the arma tools on steam there's and addon builder but when I use that to pack the folder of advanced rappeling after extracting it, most of the original content is missing after extracting again. I've seen pbo manager, is that still the go-to tool? I was wondering, because it hasn't been updated in a few years on armaholic.

ok, but I was looking for another solution as every client needs that mod installed, correct? or are there server mods that don't need to exist on client? If I understand that correctly, all that would do is hide the functionality to the client, but the mission would still need to be altered so the function is loaded on the client? Let me try explaining my problem again: I'd like to create a script that only exists on the server, but is executed every time a mission is loaded without having to edit the mission files, or any need to act for clients connecting. Basically an init/playerinit that is run regardless of mission files or client setup.

this works a treat! awesome, thanks!

Hi, is there a way to force a submersible to stay above water, or travel at a given depth. Sort of an equivalent to flyInHeight for helis and planes?

Hi, I've run into an issue with kbTell: The dialog runs without any issues on local MP and SP, but as soon as the mission is on dedicated server, the "subtitles" rush through while the audio plays normally, i.e. the the main function calling the kbTell script file is started from init like so: if (isDedicated || isServer) then { // start mission manager in unscheduled mode: 0 spawn { {call CAP_fnc_startMission} call CBA_fnc_directCall; }; }; the call to kbTell script file: [{alive sub1}, { // start radiocheck [{execVM "chat\RadioCheck.sqf";},[],30] call CBA_fnc_waitAndExecute; }] call CBA_fnc_waitUntilAndExecute; and the kbTell script file: I added the waitUntils because I thought it may fix it, but it didn't help; it was working fine on SP and local MP without the waitUntils N0_3Z9D KbAddTopic ["RadioCheck","chat\RadioCheck.bikb","",""]; N0_A19H KbAddTopic ["RadioCheck","chat\RadioCheck.bikb","",""]; N0_X212 KbAddTopic ["RadioCheck","chat\RadioCheck.bikb","",""]; N0_35SG KbAddTopic ["RadioCheck","chat\RadioCheck.bikb","",""]; N0_JK6C KbAddTopic ["RadioCheck","chat\RadioCheck.bikb","",""]; N0_A19H KbAddTopic ["RadioCheck","chat\RadioCheck.bikb","",""]; N0_X212 KbAddTopic ["RadioCheck","chat\RadioCheck.bikb","",""]; N0_35SG KbAddTopic ["RadioCheck","chat\RadioCheck.bikb","",""]; N0_JK6C KbAddTopic ["RadioCheck","chat\RadioCheck.bikb","",""]; N0_3Z9D KbTell [N0_3Z9D,"RadioCheck","1N0_3Z9D",["",{},"",[]],"SIDE"]; waitUntil { N0_3Z9D kbWasSaid [N0_3Z9D, "RadioCheck", "1N0_3Z9D", 5] }; N0_A19H KbTell [N0_A19H,"RadioCheck","2N0_A19H",["",{},"",[]],"SIDE"]; waitUntil { N0_A19H kbWasSaid [N0_A19H, "RadioCheck", "2N0_A19H", 5] }; N0_X212 KbTell [N0_X212,"RadioCheck","3N0_X212",["",{},"",[]],"SIDE"]; waitUntil { N0_X212 kbWasSaid [N0_X212, "RadioCheck", "3N0_X212", 3] }; N0_35SG KbTell [N0_35SG,"RadioCheck","4N0_35SG",["",{},"",[]],"SIDE"]; waitUntil { N0_35SG kbWasSaid [N0_35SG, "RadioCheck", "4N0_35SG", 3] }; N0_JK6C KbTell [N0_JK6C,"RadioCheck","5N0_JK6C",["",{},"",[]],"SIDE"]; waitUntil { N0_JK6C kbWasSaid [N0_JK6C, "RadioCheck", "5N0_JK6C", 3] }; N0_3Z9D KbTell [N0_3Z9D,"RadioCheck","6N0_3Z9D",["",{},"",[]],"SIDE"]; waitUntil { N0_3Z9D kbWasSaid [N0_3Z9D, "RadioCheck", "6N0_3Z9D", 3] }; N0_3Z9D KbTell [N0_3Z9D,"RadioCheck","7N0_3Z9D",["",{},"",[]],"SIDE"]; waitUntil { N0_3Z9D kbWasSaid [N0_3Z9D, "RadioCheck", "7N0_3Z9D", 3] }; N0_A19H KbTell [N0_A19H,"RadioCheck","8N0_A19H",["",{},"",[]],"SIDE"]; waitUntil { N0_A19H kbWasSaid [N0_A19H, "RadioCheck", "8N0_A19H", 3] }; N0_X212 KbTell [N0_X212,"RadioCheck","9N0_X212",["",{},"",[]],"SIDE"]; waitUntil { N0_X212 kbWasSaid [N0_X212, "RadioCheck", "9N0_X212", 3] }; N0_35SG KbTell [N0_35SG,"RadioCheck","10N0_35SG",["",{},"",[]],"SIDE"]; waitUntil { N0_35SG kbWasSaid [N0_35SG, "RadioCheck", "10N0_35SG", 3] }; N0_JK6C KbTell [N0_JK6C,"RadioCheck","11N0_JK6C",["",{},"",[]],"SIDE"]; waitUntil { N0_JK6C kbWasSaid [N0_JK6C, "RadioCheck", "11N0_JK6C", 3] }; N0_3Z9D KbTell [N0_3Z9D,"RadioCheck","12N0_3Z9D",["",{},"",[]],"SIDE"]; waitUntil { N0_3Z9D KbWasSaid [N0_3Z9D,"RadioCheck","12N0_3Z9D",3]; }; radioDone=true On the server log I'm getting this error, even though the sounds are all playing without any issues one at a time in the correct order. 10:43:18 Cannot load sound 'chat\radiocheck\7n0_3z9d.ogg' 10:43:18 chat\radiocheck\7n0_3z9d.ogg: sSize 0 Hopefully you can point me in the right direction, I don't know how it can play the sound without being able to load the sound file ;)

Hi, I'm having an issue with accessing a variable. I thought I had my head wrapped around how it's handled, but apparently not... I am using CBA_fnc_waitAndExecute to call the function FN_nimitzSpawnBoat and would like the return value - the boat that was spawned by the function to be set to beachAssaultSub6 while this: A: beachAssaultSub6 = ["B_SDV_01_F"] call FN_nimitzSpawnBoat; works without any issues, i.e. I can access beachAssaultSub6 in another function: B: [{call MBC_fnc_populateSub;},[beachAssaultSub6, subCrew1, subCrew2, subCrew3, subCrew4],20] call CBA_fnc_waitAndExecute; if I spawn the boat like so: C: [{beachAssaultSub6 = ["B_SDV_01_F"] call FN_nimitzSpawnBoat;},[],10] call CBA_fnc_waitAndExecute; and then make the same call B, the parameter beachAssaultSub6 is 'NULL-object' within MBC_fnc_populateSub, instead of pointing to the boat object... Now, if I use the following instead of B, it works again: D: [{alive beachAssaultSub6}, { [beachAssaultSub6, subCrew1, subCrew2, subCrew3, subCrew4] call MBC_fnc_populateSub; }] call CBA_fnc_waitUntilAndExecute; I do realize that using B is a little silly with the timed wait, but I was sort of testing CBA functions and came across this... Using C and B should still work as the boat has been spawned for quite some time - obvious in game, I do check the call to B with systemChat and the boat is sitting there for a good few seconds... I hope I'm making sense and would be grateful for your insight!
