They used color correction PP Effect. Might find it later if you want

Use say3D or playSound3D, you can specify max distance at which the sound can be heard.

[Civilian Death Notification]

GVAR(confirmedKills) = 0;

addMissionEventHandler ["EntityKilled", {
    params ["_unit"];

    if !(_unit isKindOf "CAManBase") exitWith {};
    private _side = side (group _unit);

    if (_side isEqualTo civilian) then {
      GVAR(confirmedKills) = GVAR(confirmedKills) + 1;
    };
  }];

In my case GVAR(confirmedKills) expands to Krzyc_confirmedKills, so it's possible to use it somewhere else.

[Can you remove Grass Cutters after using them?]

You might try to create just models of cutters. They will work, and there should be little to no impact on performance. Something like this:

private _cutter = createSimpleObject ["a3\structures_f\system\cluttercutter_medium_f.p3d", _targetPos, false];

 

[NoPop Targets]

Great job, anyway

nopop = true;

is enough most of the time.

[Light local (around object/area) dust/fog script?]

Maybe something based on diwakoo ambient fog script?

[How to write a script for hideObject on dozens of units?]

As i understand, you have preplaced them in editor? If so, i would add them to layer, and list them with "getMissionLayerEntities".

Export layer data to rpt. Copy to data_map.  Spawn with replaceObjects.sqf

[adding an action to an object]

Sorry for "pirating" this post and taking advantage of your knowledge... I have more or less about 20 holdActions/addActions in one of my WIP mission (SP/Tanoa); should I be worried and convert them to the "trigger-solution" you suggested?

Thank you.

Arma Wiki:

If action is added to an object (and not to player) condition will only get evaluated IF player is closer than ~50m to the object surface AND is looking at the object.

So doing it trigger way is needless.

Use function viewer in editor

[Multiplayer Animated briefing]

Ok, the problem is that the functions that are used to move the markers are argument global and effects global. And as far as I read in the wiki (the local markers page) it says this:

 

"Local markers have own set of local commands "xxmarkerxxLocal" to work with. If you use global marker command on a local marker, the local marker will become global marker."

 

my question is: Is BIS_fnc_cancelMarker (an example of the multiple functions) considered a global marker command? Does it change the local markers to global? If yes, how can I make it to stay in local (the markers)? Is it something related to remoteExec a solution?

 

My next idea was to use something similar in the movements of markers: 

 

["nato1",(getMarkerPos "avance1"),4] remoteExec ["call BIS_fnc_moveMarker", -2, JIP];

 

But idk if it is gonna work. Anyway, thank you all for the help.

I would open BIS_fnc_cancelMarker in function viewer and make my own version, that make use of local commands.

[Multiplayer Animated briefing]

You are right. Make sure you create all the markers beforhand locally and then adjust the functions to use local marker commands. For efficiency if you want global marker update, you want to do all local changes first and have only the last change be global. Otherwise every change generates a network traffic with the full marker info.

Well, no. I want to use this in the normal editor. Isn't there a way of doing it without contact?

I don't think it's possible to do that scripted way 

[Turning off sights?]

Working perfectly fine for me. You started your game with contact loaded yup?

Not sure. I only checked mission file.

They are not turning sights off. Just replacing with:
