Hi all, is it possible to show a content of a variable in the briefing? The mission.sqm is executed before the briefing is shown. So in the mission a variable could be declared :-) Or by the way: Is there a way to communicate variables between description.ext and a script? Thanks, Hunter

Hello, Ive played ArmA and OPF since release and if I only compare these both games I found following main balancing problems: - choppers fly too slow and have only a small armor, so it is very easy to destroy a chopper by plane tank or noobly easy by AA. No tactics needed for shot down a chopper by an AA. - tanks have the same problem, but not so strongly. The mission designer can only use M136 and RPG, not Javelin. Tank fights are very boring because a tank is down with 1 or sometimes 2 shot. You can destroy a T72 with 2 PRGs... I do not need a new OFP, but why should someone use a tank or a chopper? The answer is: You got killed... mainly in a chopper... @BIS: Please raise the choppers armor points to a value that nobody could destroy a chopper with one AA. For example: The big Mi17 shall be eat one AA without problems. Please raise the tanks armor points to 150 - 300%. No heavy tank shall be destroyed by an other with one shot. For example: Give the M1 armor points to get down by 3 T72 shots. Give the T72 armor points to get down by 2 M1 shots. But pleeease PRIO 1: Turn off each engine if no player oder ai is inside it. A multiplayer game is unplayable if only 10 players get out of their jeeps and these eniges are running. It makes my crazy if I hear each running engine. ... and do not switch off aiming targets for light tanks like 1.07beta. Sorry for my english :-) German [uMPC]Hunter

Hello BIS, please PRIO1 turn off each engine if no player oder AI is inside it. A multiplayer game is unplayable if only 10 players get out of their jeeps and these eniges are running. It makes my crazy if I hear each running engine from everywhere. And do not switch off aiming targets for light tanks like 1.07beta. German [uMPC]Hunter PS: Im wondering about many bugfixes for minor bugs. But what about the major problems like verifySignature??? Please do not forget the multiplayer mode!

Teamkill detection is very easy if you use event handlers: Have a look into in of the following missions: My official ESL missions The design is simple: Check if a object was hit or killed. If the killer was a player and inside the base then broadcast the players object via publicVariable. Of course the script can changed to detect a TK always. This missions have many functions. But you can find the TK code detection in files contains "*EH*". This will be executed by the server. The punishment is executed on each client and coded in "ClientMiscSlow.sqf". Base raping could be detected fine, too. But not if a vehicle was moved and no player is inside it. TK by a driven vehicle cannot be detected fine. A workaround is if the killer is nobody search a vehicle around 3-10m and punish the driver. But this could lead to punish an innocent player! The last issue is not included in these ESL missions. Hunter PS: @MaddogX: Im very intrested for kick a player from the server, but I cannot find a command for this. Could you please help me?

@Frans: you can configure this btw: My system (AMD 3200- 64bit, 1GB RAM) runs fine with up to 64civilians and 10 busses in all towns of west sahrani. Without debugging infos for me (deactivating all hints and sidechat infos) 256 are possible. Debugging is very strange. You get all the infos the civilians will do :-) Hunter

I think the command "vehicles" do not return ai soldiers.

Hi togehter, Im working on a fully populating script for the western half isle of sahrani. If its working 100% I will use it for the whole isle sahrani. It is very configurable at the moment. You can set: - maximum numbers of towns - maximum numbers of civilians - maximum numbers of busses - maximum numbers of cars The busses have their own defined or random routes. They are using the bus stops. Civis are able to use all the things and much more In the final version there will be only two triggers who starts the scripts. Actually I need town markers for spawning the civis. Beta testing and final configuration is in progress. Release will be soon!!! Hunter PS: This scripts will be included in a new style of mission by Chillmasta

Hello, this C&H mappack is from cHiLLmAstA. DOWNLOAD [uMPC]Hunter Have fun with it.

@snakebyte85: In this first revision of my template isn't a parachute script The old OFP script used in the C&H mission from Chillmasta dont need a lift into arma ;-) In my opionion this feature is not needed - but if one mapper use it - ok. [uMPC]Hunter

I've placed a gamelogic with the arma mission editor and give them the name "Host". If you do this you can use following construct to set e.g. a variable only for the host: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">? (local host) : Example = 1 try this: - ?(local Host) : command => command runs only on a dedicated server machine - ?(!local Host) : command => command is running on a client if you started the mission on a dedicated server machine => command is running on your pc if you started a MP mission on your pc Hunter PS: I've seen not usedd AI logics too.

Hello all, I'm working on a template C&H mission. It could be used for creating a new mission in MP games. Following things are my scopes: - optimized scripts for Armed Assault, like implementing JoinInProgress - fully configurable scripts - clearly arranged scripts with comments - new designed and optimized scoring :-) - making a template for all creators of C&H MP missions - I have no patience for searching a location ;-) - including following modi: Flag Taken, Sector Control Note: The mission is only for an dedicaded server! Its working, but it should not played. The locations will be very small because of debugging. Use it for creating your own maps or studying the scripts. The current status is a beta version with mostly all the things you need for a MP mission. Not yet included are vehicles and their functions like respawning. After bugfixing and including the vehicle scripts I will release a final version here and of course on umpc. Regards, [uMPC]Hunter *EDIT* Buglist after testing in MP 6v6 15Min: - After respawn sometimes the weapon will be switched (should be fixed) - GameEnd is up to 1 Minute later. (should be fixed)

Hello all, I found following editor bug: - FlagCarrier used in e.g. Hold Hill cannot set correcty in the script editor. It must be edit manually in a text editor. Hunter

np yes im using an logic like Host Hunter

In many tests we've found out how onplayerconnected works fine. onplayerconnected is called by the host if a player joined the game. Therefor you can use PublicVariable commands in this script to broadcast some imortant variables to all players. Im using following code succesfully: in init.sqs: - executing a playerconnect script for host only!: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">? (local host) : onplayerconnected "[] exec ""PlayerConnected.sqs"" "; in PlayerConnected.sqs: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">Publicvariable "A"; ... Publicvariable "Z"; exit; For some action use global triggers if someone is joining. For example: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">Publicvariable "WestHasFlag"; trigger: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">WestHasFlag==true => hint "West has taken the flag"; set flag color... So all new players know who is the owner of your objects :-) regards [uMPC]Hunter

in my opinion a spawn compile command can't compile the preproccesed code immediadly because the script is not compiled yet Maybe you need to prepocces first, save the content in a variable and call it later.

Hello, We Need help from BIS Â We are trying to port some OFP missions especially league maps (ESL, BL) into Arma. We have problems with following commands: setPos: Was used to load/unload an ammo crate in a truck or chopper for being the respawn. Setpos works fine on local machines but not on our hosted dedicated server. Not in a host script, not in a client script... setposASL: for testing as a workaround for setPos - failed setVehiclePosition: for testing as a workaround for setPos - failed publicVariable: We have problems with sending a local client variable from a player to the dedicated server. Other problem is set a variable, bradcast it from a hosts script and use it in a players script dont work e.g. for showing points. onplayer(dis)connect: In which case (script, host, client, ...) works this? This kinds of information are not given in the Wiki. :-( And at least I think all scripts for OFP works only fine if no players are joining in game. Is there a porting guide available? regards [uMPC]Hunter

@HappyG: How do you reposition the truck? Tested on a dedicated server?? On a dedicated server it seems setpos works only for players. regards [uMPC]Hunter
