Hey, folks super stuck here maybe one of you Arma Dev Gods can help finish this off. PURPOSE OF CODE: I am trying to build a mini-map like in the game Squad. So you don't have to come out of the game to check your map. WHY: This would be extremely helpful to folks who are flying in jets so they don't crash when they come out of the game to check their map. I have most of the map working to include positioning. I just can't figure out how to create an open and close feature to call the map. I am not sure how to bind a key to open or close the map. There is also a map line marker error I can't figure out as well. So maybe someone with more skill can finish this out and share the code. THOUGHTS: This would have to work multiplayer for each faction player. Maybe triggered from onPlayerRespawn.sqf Credit Goes To Larrow for map code Any help highly appreciated ANT CODE BELOW: init.sqf fnc_updateMiniMap = { _map = _this select 0; _map ctrlMapAnimAdd [0, 0.05, player];

Way AWESOME MAN

Janez thanks for the suggestion...I was hoping to find someone to help with this Way beyond my current skill set. I will try the information you posted. Ant

That is way nice Pierre

Does anyone know of a trigger script that would turn off the player's current position marker on the map when they enter a certain area? The effect would be dictated by the radius of the trigger? The script would need to work in multiplayer. Been searching and have not found anything. Any help highly appreciated Ant

Thanks Stan still looking into it

Maybe changing the setmarker Alpha would be it though not sure if it can be done by trigger

Stan thanks for the response i have not added any additional tracking scripts and i know you can turn everything off in veteren mode... not what I am asking. I guess for clarity what i am asking is ....is it possible to remove the player map icons / markers when a player enters a specific area that has a trigger. I am not trying to take them out on the whole map only in a specific area that a trigger area represents when a player is in that area. Not sure if possible

The ones on the map that shows player location so blue force tracker i suppose. I am not trying to take them out on the whole map only in a specific area that a trigger area represents when a player is in that area .

Hey folks I am working on a script below and I am not a very skilled coder especially working with arrays and subtracting locations from an array. The main goal would be to have the script trigger a nuke blast in a set time limit with various blast radiuses in a loop. Ideally, I would like to drop a map marker on the location of the blast that is removed after a certain amount of time but just trying to get this working with what I got now. So here goes....At the end of the day, the script should select from a random location for the nuke blast defined by possible locations listed in the array named "nukeme" then remove whatever location it used from the array list so it does not trigger in the same place twice. The triggered nuke blast script should run every 3000 seconds in random locations. So I have a basic understanding of what it does or needs to do not sure if my syntax is correct or even in the ballpark. As always any help appreciated and I am in no way a skilled coder. Script below if ((!isServer) && (player != player)) then {waitUntil {player == player};}; while {true} do { _location = selectrandom possiblelocations; possiblelocations = [nukeme, nukeme1, nukeme2,nukeme3,nukeme4,nukeme5,nukeme6],-_location; /*to make sure one location is not used twice*/ [_location,nukeme,nukeme,nukeme1,nukeme2,nukeme3,nukeme4,nukeme5,nukeme6] execvm "Al_Nuke\alias_nuke.sqf"; place marker; sleep 3000+random 1000; }

Thanks Pierre I will ask him

Pierre thank you for the response would the code look like this? ..... Yes the ""nukeme"" are empty map markers named nukeme, nukeme1 etc... How would the blast size be defined? Will this code work on a dedicated server for multiplayer? 0 = [] spawn { possiblelocations = ["nukeme", "nukeme1", "nukeme2","nukeme3","nukeme4","nukeme5","nukeme6"]; while {true} do { private _location = possibleLocations deleteAt (floor random count possibleLocations); [_location,nukeme,nukeme,nukeme1,nukeme2,nukeme3,nukeme4,nukeme5,nukeme6] execvm "Al_Nuke\alias_nuke.sqf"; sleep 3000; }; };

You Guys are Awesome

Guys thanks for the response I am just not skilled enough to convert it into a function. Its a great script maybe someone can take lead here.

Jboy I am trying to incorporate this on a dedicated sever mission with various playable units from different teams Blufor, Opfor, & Independent ....PVP. Everything shows up though when a player walks up to a tree they can't climb up it. The prompt to climb the tree shows but the player does not climb the tree. Any ideas....Please help I would love to add this to our server. Great script bye the way.

Looking forward to the release of this...Congrats on the release Kenny

Hello Bohemia Community. I found this post on reddit and was wondering if the code shown below would raise the sea level of a map like Stratis. I wanted to try this for myself but I was not sure of where to place the code below....My goal would be to flood parts of Stratis map by script. Would the code go in the init file? Any help pointing me in the right direction would be highly appreciated. If you want to try it out, here is the code from the post below class CfgPatches{ `class BONESCRAP_Tides{` `author="BonesCrap";` `name="Arma 3 - Tides";` `url="`[`http://www.arma3.com`](http://www.arma3.com)`";` `requiredAddons[]=` `{` `"A3_Data_F",` `"A3_Map_Data",` `"A3_Map_Altis",` `"A3_Map_Stratis",` `"A3_Map_Tanoabuka",` `"A3_Map_Malden"` `};` `requiredVersion=0.1;` `units[]={};` `weapons[]={};` `};` }; class CfgWorlds { `class DefaultWorld {};` `class CAWorld: DefaultWorld {};` `class Stratis: CAWorld {` `class Sea {` `MaxTide=200;` `};` `};` `class Altis: CAWorld {` `class Sea {` `MaxTide=200;` `};` `};` `class Tanoa: CAWorld {` `class Sea {` `MaxTide=5;` `};` `};` `class Malden: CAWorld {` `class Sea {` `MaxTide=-200;` `};` `};` Ant

Does anyone know of a script for a an EMP grenade that is associated to the IR grenade that would take out a demining drone flying above? Any ideas or suggestions appreciated Ant.

H that did not work either its like the script doesnt run not sure if it should be triggered from the main mission init?

What i have now is that does not work ...when i try in multiplayer...not sure if it is triggered from the main mission init. emp.sqf _AOE = _this select 0; _Drones = nearestObjects [_AOE , ["B_UAV_01_F", "I_UAV_01_F","O_UAV_01_F"], 150]; _DamageOFF = 0.95; _DamageON = 0.00; _Vehicles = nearestObjects [(getpos _AOE), ["Car", "UAV"], 150]; _CountLights = count _Lights; (_Lights select 0) say3D "electricity_loop"; sleep (floor(random 3) +2); for "_i" from 0 to _CountLights do //this will run 1 extra time //replace 0 with 1 or _CountLights with (_CountLights - 1) { if (getDammage (_Lights select _i) < 0.90) then { (_Lights select _i) setDamage _DamageOFF; sleep 0.1; (_Lights select _i) setDamage _DamageON; sleep 0.1; (_Lights select _i) setDamage _DamageOFF; sleep 0.1; }; }; { if (isEngineOn _x) then {_x setHit ["motor", 1]} } foreach _Vehicles; main mission init.sqf player addEventHandler ["Fired", { if (_this select 5 == "B_IR_Grenade") then { _this spawn { _bullet = _this select 6; _newpos = getPosATL _bullet; while {(_newpos select 2) > .1} do { _newpos = getPos _bullet; sleep 0.1; }; [_bullet] execVM "addons\scripts\emp.sqf"; }; }; }]; Any Help Appreciated Ant
