[Change something in Zeus]

How to change that icon of group above icon of unit in Zeus? For example in BLUFOR, the icon or something is blue, and I would like to place a logo. I know about squad.xml but I would like to put custom logo regardless of whether it is player or AI. I believe it is possible by a script but how?

I just tested. Does not work.

It might just not work. But add it anywhere on init.sqf. Excluded from your code (outside scope { }).

 

So I did. Does not work. I don't understand why the group is automatically deleted when it is killed.

Try adding this outside the scope of your other script. On init.sqf

addMissionEventHandler ["GroupCreated", {
	params ["_group"];
	_group deleteGroupWhenEmpty false;
}];

 

Can you show where your code should be in my code? I tried it a couple of times and it doesn't work.

Why haven't I received an answer yet? I hope they don't hold anything against me.

It seems.hHow to save the results, especially after the battle? I would like that to always show the results once the whole group is killed. The same thing is also with individual vehicles

[How to count dead soldiers in the groups?]

This code works perfectly if only a couple of soldiers in one group are killed. But when an entire group is killed, the code doesn't work. Like as if that group had never been spawned. I'm trying to figure out where the problem is. I guess I might get an answer.

This is your answer:

just delete those while do loops. its not needed in your case and it should be the issue for your 2nd radio trigger not working!

 

It works. Thanks!

It does indeed work. In fact, 

 

This, however:

 

is new information.

 

So perhaps you should explain exactly how you want this to go.

 

All I want to know is simple, I would like to see the results of dead soldiers and destroyed vehicles after a battle but which I would activate myself, i.e. to see statistics whenever I want. I would also like to see the current number of living soldiers and vehicles.

I have four triggers, every via radio (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta). 

 

First trigger:

_count = {side _x == east} count allunits;  
hintSilent format ["Alive CSAT Units: %1", _count];

 

Second trigger:

0 = [] spawn { while {true} do { sleep 0.1; _csatScore = {getNumber (configfile >> "CfgVehicles" >> typeOf _x >> "side") == 0} count allDeadMen; hintSilent format ["Dead CSAT Units: %1", _csatScore]; }; };

 

Third trigger:

_count = {side _x == resistance} count allunits;  
hintSilent format ["Alive AAF Units: %1", _count];

 

Fourth trigger:

0 = [] spawn { while {true} do { sleep 0.1; _aafScore = {getNumber (configfile >> "CfgVehicles" >> typeOf _x >> "side") == 2} count allDeadMen; hintSilent format ["Dead AAF Units: %1", _aafScore]; }; };

Are you perhaps trying to do something like this?

Custom Debriefing Page

 

That's something I'm actually looking for. Men, vehicles, vessels, aircraft, on every side. I'm currently testing this your, I'm playing with mod Arma Commander, the trigger is synced with the main module of the mod. But after the mission, this briefing is not shown.

[Counting dead units]

Does not work. It shows the result nicely but when I activate another radio, it doesn't work anymore. I have four triggers.

[Counting dead units]

After trying for weeks with my scripting and googling everything to find some answers, I am still without success. The script should be small and simple, I knew scripting isn’t easy but I can’t believe this hurts so much. I'm trying to make a script that will count all the dead units and destroyed vehicles of one side and put it in the trigger and activate it via radio.

 

_count = {side _x == resistance} count allunits;  
hintSilent format ["Alive AAF Units: %1", _count];  // Count all alive units of Resistance side, it works fine.

 

0 = [] spawn {while {true} do {sleep 0.1;} 
_aafScore = {getNumber (configfile >> "CfgVehicles" >> typeOf _x >> "side") == 2} count allDeadMen; 
hintSilent format ["Dead AAF Units: %1", _aafScore]}; // Count all dead units but it works not fine.

[Random start position for unit in marker]

Works this with a group. I gave you a trophy.

 

Earlier I tested with a turret and a vehicle, every works with that code in the first posts. Only I would like the group to be together with the turret, not just one AI, I usually set up several more AI in the same group. To protect the turret or to replace staff if they die. I realized that any AI that is located in a turret or vehicle, spawns normally but an AI that is outside of a turret or vehicle has to run a long way to find its leader.

 

I'm definitely still learning to scripting. Your codes can help me. I visit community.bistudio.com/wiki often to learn. Of course, I’m going to look at the other links they left here.

[Random start position for unit in marker]

How do that with a group, not just one AI? Along with some turret, for example: HMG?

[Random start position for unit in marker]

Does not work. If I manually turn the soldier in the desired direction, it spawn in that direction.

 

I am always wishful to learn scripting.

[Random start position for unit in marker]

It works. I bow to you. 

 

I have a question: how to implant direction to this code? Random or selected?

[Random start position for unit in marker]

How to make a unit (or more units) start at a random position within a marker? I have a simple code for random select markers, but I don't have for radius, direction.

 

this setpos (getMarkerPos (selectRandom ["marker1", "marker2"]));

 

This code I put in a unit init. I don't like sqf.

 

I am trying: this setpos getMarkerPos ["marker1", "marker2"] getPos [random(40), random(360). random(40) is radius. But doesn't works.

[How to count dead soldiers in the groups?]

I managed to split this script into three parts or three hints individually.

Into where, and how? This is the problem. No one knows where you've added _entity, but if you have only added it in the EntityKilled EH, then all _entity is doing is defining the killer. Which is what myself and Pierre have explained.

How can I divide this script into three parts? Each side with its own hint? The hint doesn’t load whole because it’s too long, especially after a big battle.

[How to count dead soldiers in the groups?]

Hey, I don't want to argue. I wrote everything clearly here what I want in the game. So it's not clear to me what's not clear to you, lol. I asked something so if you don’t want to help, then you don’t have to.

I put _entity in this script to recognize the vehicles when they spawn.

the second param of this MEH refers to the killer. So your.... _entity.

As usual, I'm not sure to understand your approach.

 

Really? I speak English, not Chinese! I feel like I'm talking to an alien.

The MEH I gave you is just fine. What you have to do, (not me), is to treat your groups and manage your trigger hints. I gave you an example, but, as usual, there are extra inputs. It's endless... (til I decide it's over as far as I'm concerned).

 

As usual you avoid answering my questions directly.

[How to count dead soldiers in the groups?]

Probably because you are spawning these groups (spawned vehicles) after the trigger activation and before the trigger deactivation. I don't know what is your condition for spawning some vehicles. So, you can split the loop (i wrote) into two spawned loops, one for treating the groups, another one for trigger activation/hint/trigger deactivation.

Try to do that yourself. It's a good exercise.

 

 

I think I have already solved this by incorporating _entity among the params. Now this looks like this: params ["_unit", "_entity"];

 

Which is the event among the addMissionEventHandler that helps count all living units? Can you help me?

[How to count dead soldiers in the groups?]

I have tested that with the vehicles. Scripts work when it comes to only vehicles that are already located in a terrain but do not recognize those that have spawned.

[How to count dead soldiers in the groups?]

It works, thanks! I'll get back later when I test that with the vehicles.

 

If I’m not asking too much, can you embed a script about all living units in this existing script?
