It is still producing an error about the waituntil function. It is saying that the waituntil function is nill and it is expecting true or false. Screenshot of error message

I am attempting to animate a deck crew man with the "Acts_JetsMarshallingStraight_loop" animation. I am using the BIS_fnc_ambientAnim function. I place the following in the unit init field [deckhand, "Acts_JetsMarshallingStraight_loop","ASIS"] call BIS_fnc_ambientAnim; No issues with getting him to do the animations at mission start. However I would like to have the unit conduct the animation only when a helicopter is inbound and the distance from deck crew to helo1 is <50 meters. I also would want the deck crew to terminate the animation once the helo has landed (isTouchingGround). Here is what I currently have placed in a trigger "On Activation" field: [deckhand, "Acts_JetsMarshallingStraight_loop","ASIS"] call BIS_fnc_ambientAnim; waituntil {{isTouchingGround helo1}; this call BIS_fnc_ambientAnim__terminate}; The same trigger's "Condition" field has this: deckhand distance helo1 < 50; Unfortunately I am receiving an error when the trigger is activated and the deckhand does nothing. I am quite sure that I have designed the script wrong, but I can not seem to find my error. Thank You

Would you call this via an init line on player or via a trigger...or what do you suggest?

Thanks for the sight, now how could I do a loop? 😏

I am having problems running a if..then..else statement. I have placed these statements in the init line of the veh1. The statement below is what I currently am using. if ((player distance veh1) < 2) then {hint "Get in vehicle"} else {hint "Goto vehicle"}; I am successful in getting the else portion to work. "Goto Vehicle" appears on screen at mission start. But as I decrease my distance to the veh1 to the point I am leaning on the vehicle, the "Get in vehicle" statement doesn't activate. I have also tried the following: _dist = player distance veh1; if (_dist < 2) then {hint "Get in Vehicle"} else {hint "Goto vehicle"}; But again no luck. I am sure it is a simple error on my part, but I am struggling. TIA

this setVariable ["TAG_rotate",true]; What exactly does this do?

I am building ranges to use for sniper training and I am running into an issue. Well more like laziness, but I cant figure it out. I want to be able to place the targets down, manually adjust their heading (roughly facing the tower), but then at mission start I would like to run a script that adjusts their heading so that they all are facing the tower head on. This would result in better visibilty of the targets for the sniper. I noticed and played with the setDir command and was successfully with getting a single target to adjust heading (using the init. line on the target), but I have a different script that needs to be on the init. line for mission start. ANy help would be great, Thank You

@GEORGE FLOROS GR thanks for digging up that old post of mine. I thought I had done this before and was looking around on my computer to see if I had maybe saved it somewhere. Thanks again

WOW! Well it worked, however now I have no idea which ammo goes with what. Browsing through the listing it appears it is mostly listing ammo for Soldiers, I dont see any Artillery, Tank or Mortar ammo in there. Also is it possible to add the display name of the vehicle/object to help better Identify which ammo goes with what thing? Thank You

Yes Sir I have looked at that, however I wish to gather the information for mods as well

I am trying to work on a small project of gathering all of the Ammo classnames for each vehicle in my ARMA3 Library. Currently I am using the below code on the init field of my soldier, it works but it is time consuming switch back and forth between my text document and ARMA3. I was wondering if there is a quicker way to gather the information once I have placed all the vehicles I want to check in EDEN. Thank You this addAction["Check Ammo","_mags = magazinesAmmo cursorObject; copyToClipboard str _mags;"];

Just a heads up the processInitCommands command was disabled in ARMA 3 for security reasons. It says use remoteExec or BIS_fnc_MP instead. How exactly would you incorporate that into the script now? Thanks

Yeah I would be willing to check that out. Thank You

Hazj unfortunately that is not what I was looking. This particular thing was a single single that I pasted into each of the units/vehicles I wanted to keep an eye on in GPS. It was not an add-on. Thank you though

I am hoping the community can help me out. I recently found a script that places a map maker on units as they move around the map. In the script there was a section that displayed TypeOf the vehicle the marker was attached to. You also had the ability to customized (Color, Shape, etc) the marker that followed. I unfortunately deleted the file that I now I can not find it. Can anyone help me find that script or know of a way to do it. Thanks
