Post what you did with that "other line". Something like this? <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> _allowedItems = ["ACE_Bandage"]; Â _allowedItems = ["ACE_Morphine"]; It should be: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_allowedItems = ["ACE_Bandage","ACE_Morphine"];

1) By giving those global variables the prefix/tag "Kerry_", I'm making sure that I'm using a variable name, which is not already used by some other addon or mod. This simply avoids overlaps, that would cause errors or break some functionality. 2) Both edit: updated the script above - removes dead or non-existent units from the array Kerry_watchedUnits now - fixed a typo - list of allowed items is a local variable now

go to your mission folder, and create a empty text file in there. Rename it to "scriptofdeath.sqf" (w/o the quotes). Copy-paste this code in there <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">private["_items","_allowedItems","_x"]; if(isServer) then {     if(isnil "Kerry_scriptOfDeath") then {         Kerry_scriptofDeath = true;         Kerry_watchedUnits = [(_this select 0)];         _allowedItems = [];  // here you can add class names of items that are allowed                   // example:   _allowedItems = ["30Rnd_556x45_Stanag"];         while { (count Kerry_watchedUnits) > 0 } do {             {                 if(isNull _x || (!alive _x)) then {                     Kerry_watchedUnits = Kerry_watchedUnits - [_x];                 } else {                     _items = ((magazines _x) + (weapons _x)) - _allowedItems;                     if(count _items > 0) then {                         _x setdamage 1;                         Kerry_watchedUnits = Kerry_watchedUnits - [_x];                     };                 };             } forEach Kerry_watchedUnits;             sleep 5;         };         Kerry_scriptofDeath = nil;     } else {         Kerry_watchedUnits = Kerry_watchedUnits + [_this select 0];     }; }; true In the mission editor, copy-paste this line <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">tmp  = [this] execVM "scriptofdeath.sqf" into the Initialisation text field of each unit that shall not carry anything.

the entry "GUER" from array in the last the line as well. Check my post above, I edited it for your needs and shortened it a bit

At mission start init a counter variable for each side and the kills limit: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">counterWest = 0; counterEast = 0; civDeathLimit = 4; Then give each each civilian a killed eventhandler: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">this addeventhandler ["killed", {_this execVM "civkilled.sqf";}]; civkilled.sqf: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">private["_killer","_currVal"]; _killer = _this select 1; _currVal = 0; if(side _killer == west || side _killer == east) then {     _currVal = call (compile format["counter%1 = counter%1 + 1; counter%1", side _killer]);     if(_currVal == civDeathLimit) then {         [side _killer] execVM "armCivilians.sqf";         // remove the following 2 lines if you want the civs to be able to go mad at more than one faction         // an alternative to setting all counters higher than the limit, is to remove the "killed"-ehs from the remaining civ units.         counterWest = 5;         counterEast = 5;     }; }; In the script 'armCivilians.sqf' you can go on now on your own, with arming them and telling them to attack the new enemys ( the value (_this select 0) holds the side that reached the limit). The command 'setFriend' doesn't seem to have any effects on the civilian side, but you can order a civ unit to attack a single target with the command 'doFire'.

Will the group leader be in the same hmmwv as well? Then assign/movein him as driver

You can use a firewall to block the used ports on all IPs, except the one you want it to run on. Then you have to set up the servers to use different ports of course ( -port= option). ArmA ports (all UDP): port (default: 2302) incoming & outgoing port+1  incoming  (server-query, gamespy) port+3  incoming & outgoing  (VoN)

In the class 'f15c_mod_mesh' the property type is set up wrong. It expects a integer, not a string (currently: "VAir"). Changing it's value to 2, will fix it.

That's just a sidenote on performance, the shorter the list the less cpu time is required to check all entries. And the trigger runs this count check every cycle. As destroyed aircrafts (or null-object after it has been deleted) can't fly higher than 12m, is not necessary to check them. Shouldn't matter in most cases, only if your mission will run for hours and destroyed choppers respawn (and added to the array o.c.), and trigger is set on 'repeatedly'

Set up a global array, to which you add all the aircrafts that you want to observe. Trigger condition: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">({ (getPos _x) select 2 > 12} count AircraftsToWatch ) > 0 'AircraftsToWatch' is that array. From time to time clean up the array from destroyed aircrafts, in order to keep the list short.

What type of vehicle is it for? Tank / plane / infantry weapon ? Give it two launchers with different ammo. a) A dummy launcher and dummy ammo, which the player controls / fires (it's supposed to do nothing, just sit there and look beautiful) b) The real launcher with real ammo. But only the magazines are added to the vehicle, not the launcher. Then add a fired-eh to the vehicle. There check if the dummy launcher was fired. If yes, wait your desired delay, add the real launcher to the vehicle as well and switch to it from the dummy launcher. Then use the fire command to launch the real missile. Finally remove the real launcher again and switch back to the dummy one. Don't know if the lock on a vehicle of the dummy launcher remains for the real one.

First you need to define your soundfile in the mission, that's done in the file description.ext http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Description.ext#Sounds Then use the respective command to play it.

That yells for a UserAction. It does about the same as the scripting command 'addaction', but with a few more possibilites. Here's a example (2nd code box): http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Animations The class UserActions goes into your objects class, like this: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">class CfgVehicles {     class xyz;     class yourObject : xyz {         // bunch of properties         class UserActions {             // define your useractions here         };     }; };

The default equipment of a unit is defined in its config class.You can change it in the mission via scripting. Commands: removeallweapons , (remove/add)weapon , (remove/add)Magazine , ... Check Ofpec's comref or the Bistudio wiki for details and examples. This is definded in the config, property weaponSlots Basic abilities (medic / deactivating mines) are defined in the config of the unit. Advanced abilities, like the two you mentioned, are scripted within the mission.

Because of this behaviour and the code <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">player removeaction myaction; having some effect (it really removes the action), I'm sure the action was added to the player instead of to the radio.

Just a side note: Depending on the data type of the config entry you have to use different parse commands: getText / getNumber / getArray

OFPEC - ArmA CfgVehicles The building classes start somewhere around the center of that site

Computer science starts counting at 0, not at 1. Try the turret indexes 0 and 1, instead of 1 and 2.

You should try ECS. Website: ARMA: Enhanced Configuration System Topic on this forum: Link By default it's doing alot of changes too, but they are scripted only. No changes where are done to ArmA's original game config (except weapon sound replacements). It comes with 2 setting files (in the \@ECS\bin\ Â folder), which let you turn on/off or finetune every feature of ECS. Here's a table that explains each setting: Settings table (it's in the readme files too) The settings marked with M-IAIC / IAIC have to do with ECS controlling the AIs. The weapon sounds can be reverted by removing the file ecs_armory.pbo, to get back the ai radio messages remove the file ecs_quiet.pbo For compatibility with addons that use XEH, install the ECS Themis addon as well.

There's no command to set the turret direction directly, but you can put an AI gunner in the tank, and tell it to target something, then the AI will turn the turret for you.

It's the setting ECS_public10, set it to 'false' on the server to turn off the additional chat text messages. Changing it on the client machine is ineffective as the server overwrites the ecs_public settings of all clients, unless you're hosting a game on your local computer, In this file:    @ECS\bin\ECS_public.hpp change it to   ECS_public10[] = {false};

When the object (invisible H) has not been created because of the probability of presence, then you have two possibilities to check this case: In case you know the varibale name it should have (set in the mission editor in the field "name"): <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">?(isNil "variablename") : goto "exit" In case you only know a reference (_Object) that should point to this object: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">?(format["%1",_Object] == "scalar bool array string 0xe0ffffef") : goto "exit"

ArmA: Troubleshooting: error code 8876086c This is caused by third party content using textures with non 2^n (32,64,128,256,etc) dimensions. It may not effect all video cards. That's the reason why some peoples games crash. The error messages name the texture's resolution and size, some infos to track down the incorrect files.

You can do that in Oxygen2PE as well. 1) Open a any soldier/civilian model (from the sample models) 2) Make sure the window "Animations" is displayed 3) Right click in the Animations window, select "From Matrices", choose the .rtm file you want to edit 4) You'll see 3 keyframes listed (in this example; could be way more) in the Animation Window, double click the one of phase 1 or 2 and the animation, defined by the .rtm, will be applied to the model in the View window 5) Now edit the driver position like you would edit any other model (moving/rotating/...) 6) When you're done, save it by right-clicking in the Animations window, select "Export Matrices"

You need to edit the driver animations of those bikes. \wheeled3\TT650\DATA\ANIM\TT650_Driver.rtm \wheeled3\M1030\DATA\ANIM\M1030_Driver.rtm
