Another method for any weapon: primaryWeapon player != ""

LMAO, nice Grumpy.

Sorry not working on this at all at the moment. The scripting and ideas are there for the community to use.

Have you tried addweaponcargoglobal?

I placed a paratrooper with init line this addrating -3000 and the open parachute action is not there. Seems like a bug to me. I went into the debug console and put in player action ["openparachute"] and it worked fine. Adding the action yourself seems like the only workaround. ---------- Post added at 11:13 ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 ---------- if ([url="https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/animationState"]animationState[/url] player == "youranimationhere") then {your code here};

Once you have the objects you want its easy to copy/paste them around the map. Makes it really easy to setup a FOB or camp just about anywhere. Keep in mind that you cannot change the name or the init line in the editor. If you double click on the object then hit okay it will sometime default back to a helicopter or a bunker. You would have to edit the name and init line from the mission.sqm file. Thats been my experience with it anyways.

Awesome thank you, should make things easier.

I wouldn't use a helipad since helicopters prefer landing on them. Instead use an object/mine/chemlight and name it dude. Save the mission. Go under your mission.sqm file and find dude. Delete out the chemlight class name and replace it with the tower class name. Save the file. Go back to your mission and hit load, do not hit save. You will now have a square with a question mark inside of it. You can copy/ paste as many towers as you want to.

Tried your addon looks like you have it all figured out.

Download BI Tools if you want to open the .fsm

Have you opened up the mission folder for the mission yet? Look under the livefeed.fsm BIS_Laser = "LaserTargetW" createVehicle [0,0,0]; BIS_Laser attachTo [bIS_SPG_02,[0.75,-3.50,0.90]];

Some of you might find this useful. This will detect whether or not smoke or an IR strobe is nearby then give you its position. At some point I will add flares. If it doesnt detect either it defaults to the players position. It uses Ruebes randomcirclepositions which can be found in the first post. If anybody knows how to do this better or cleaner Im all ears. _signalArray = []; _smoke = position player nearObjects ["SmokeShell", 50]; _strobe = position player nearObjects ["B_IRstrobe", 50]; _signalArray = _signalArray + _smoke; _signalArray = _signalArray + _strobe; private ["_signal","_signalPos"]; if (count _signalArray > 0) then { _signal = _signalArray select 0; _signalPos = position _signal; } else { _signalPos = position player; }; _safePos = []; _range = 35; _maxGrad = 0.1; while {((count _safePos) == 0)} do { _safePos = [ ["position", _signalPos], ["number", 1], ["objDistance", 9], ["range", [0, _range]], ["maxGradient", _maxGrad] ] call RUBE_fnc_randomCirclePositions; _range = _range * 1.25; _maxGrad = _maxGrad + 0.01; }; private "_extractPos"; _extractPos = createVehicle ["Land_HelipadSquare_F", (_safePos select 0), [], 0, "NONE"]; ---------- Post added at 09:32 ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 ---------- Here is the updated script that checks for smoke or an IR strobe.

I guess I didnt answer your question though, add your weapons into the weapon array and it will only show the display if those weapons are in the array. _victim = _this select 0; _killer = _this select 1; _weaponArray = ["arifle_MXM_Hamr_pointer_F","arifle_MX_SW_pointer_F"]; _weapon = currentWeapon _killer; if (_weapon in _weaponArray) then { createDialog "showWeapon_gui"; (uiNamespace getVariable 'showWeapon_gui') displayCtrl 1200 ctrlSetText getText (configFile >> "cfgWeapons" >> _weapon >> "picture"); };

Hopefully this will get you in the right direction: description.ext #include "defines.hpp" #include <showWeapon.hpp> Dialog showWeapon.hpp //////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // GUI EDITOR OUTPUT START (by cobra4v320, v1.063, #Johike) //////////////////////////////////////////////////////// class showWeapon_gui { idd = -1; onLoad = "uiNamespace setVariable ['showWeapon_gui', _this select 0]"; class controls { class Killed_frame: RscFrame { idc = -1; x = 0.405125 * safezoneW + safezoneX; y = 0.379 * safezoneH + safezoneY; w = 0.190781 * safezoneW; h = 0.209 * safezoneH; }; class killed_pic: RscPicture { idc = 1200; x = 0.405125 * safezoneW + safezoneX; y = 0.379 * safezoneH + safezoneY; w = 0.18975 * safezoneW; h = 0.2068 * safezoneH; }; }; }; //////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // GUI EDITOR OUTPUT END //////////////////////////////////////////////////////// unitKilled.sqf _victim = _this select 0; _killer = _this select 1; _weapon = currentWeapon _killer; createDialog "showWeapon_gui"; (uiNamespace getVariable 'showWeapon_gui') displayCtrl 1200 ctrlSetText getText (configFile >> "cfgWeapons" >> _weapon >> "picture"); Place this into your enemy unit init line: this addEventHandler ["Killed", {[_this select 0, _this select 1] execVM "unitKilled.sqf"}]; When that unit is killed a picture of the rifle will pop up in the center of the screen. Hope this helps!!! You can also add the name of the killer or the rifle name in there as well.

That makes sense and it would be easier and cleaner than a trigger.

That looks really good beerkan, downloading now.

The eventhandler is a good idea but what if you use smoke for cover during the mission? I guess you could add the eventhandler once the mission reaches a certain point.

Something like this then should work. Radio Trigger Cond: this && ((count ((markerpos "extractMrk") nearObjects ["smokeshell", 50])) > 0) On Act: _null = [] execVM "extractPos.sqf" extractPos.sqf _smokeArray = []; _smokeArray = (position player) nearObjects ["SmokeShell",50]; _smoke = _smokearray select 0; _smokePos = position _smoke; _extractPos = createVehicle ["Land_HelipadEmpty_F", _smokePos, [], 0, "NONE"]; Then you would need to create a waypoint to the _extractPos.

Thats what I figured, thanks for the link to the feedback tracker.

I'm trying to remove/hide several cargo containers on the map. I have tried all the usual methods of hiding static objects. I'm guessing at this point that you cannot remove/hide the static land_cargo containers off from the map. Inside of a Logic: (position this nearestObject "Land_Cargo20_military_green_F") hideObject true; If I use the editor and place the cargo container myself the code above works fine.

I have made an extraction example that does this here: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?174429-Extraction-Example What you are trying to do wont work in a trigger.

Goblin is working on a much better version of the HALO jump. Its looking really good.

That sqs script doesnt work in Arma 3. If you want a basic HALO give the soldier a parachute then setPos the soldier. HALOED = TRUE; openMap true; if (backpack player != "b_parachute") then {player addbackpack "b_parachute"}; onMapSingleClick "player setPos [_pos select 0, _pos select 1, 2000]; hint 'Don''t forget to open your chute!'; HALOED = FALSE; "; waitUntil {!HALOED}; onMapSingleClick ""; openMap false;
