having a few problems spawning these realistically if anyone can help. I've got fairly decent spawning locations with SHKpos and the main building I spawn I make sure the vector is up e.g. ["Land_d_Stone_HouseSmall_V1_F",[-2.48828,13.3594,2.09808e-005],0,1,0,[],"","this setVectorUp [0,0,1];",true,false], But its things like sandbags that all go a bit tits up. Any way to refine it? Cheers.

This is one of the closet and most recent threads I can relating to my problem. Apologies if this is rude! Is there a way to add a 'buffer' when looking for objects. e.g I don't want the _pos2 to get anything within 1k of the player but everthing else up to 17k away _pos2 = nearestLocations [getPos player,["nameCity","nameVillage"],17000];

Stick this in the init of your player. player addaction ["eyeon", "eye.sqf"]; player addaction ["eyeoff", "EYE_run = false;"]; Save a file in your mission folder called eye.sqf then put this lot in it. /* EYE 1.0 Author: Zapat Shows all units on map in a relatively system friendly way. Dot: infantry Rectangle: ground vehicles Triangle: air vehicles Blue: west Red: east Green: Independent Black: civilian OR damaged in movement thus left vehicle Orange: player Yellow: player's team */ //you can turn on and off the EYE by the following Global Variable EYE_run = true; player sideChat "EYE is running"; EYE_targets_obj = []; EYE_markers_str = []; //data handler [] spawn { while {EYE_run} do { sleep 2; EYE_targets_obj = position player nearEntities [["LandVehicle","Air","CAManBase"], 20000]; EYE_targets_str = []; { EYE_targets_str set [count EYE_targets_str, format["%1",_x]]; }foreach EYE_targets_obj; _deleted = EYE_markers_str - EYE_targets_str; { deleteMarker _x; EYE_markers_str = EYE_markers_str - [_x]; }foreach _deleted; }; player sideChat "EYE thread 1 finished" ; }; //visualiser [] spawn { while {EYE_run} do { sleep 0.1; { if (!isNull _x) then { _marker = format["%1",_x]; //create marker if (getMarkerType _marker == "") then { _m = createMarker[_marker,position _x]; _m setMarkerShape "ICON"; if (_x isKindof "CAManBase") then {_m setMarkerType "hd_dot";}; if (_x isKindof "LandVehicle") then {_m setMarkerType "mil_box";}; if (_x isKindof "Air") then {_m setMarkerType "mil_triangle";}; if (side _x == east) then {_m setMarkerColor "ColorOPFOR";}; if (side _x == west) then {_m setMarkerColor "ColorBLUFOR";}; if (side _x == Independent) then {_m setMarkerColor "ColorIndependent";}; //if (side _x == Civilian) then {_m setMarkerColor "ColorCivilian";}; if (_x in units group player) then {_m setMarkerColor "ColorYellow";}; if (_x == player) then {_m setMarkerColor "ColorOrange";}; EYE_markers_str set [count EYE_markers_str, _marker]; } //update marker else { _marker setMarkerPos position _x; if (getMarkerColor _marker != "ColorBlack" && (!alive _x || !canMove _x) ) then {_marker setMarkerColor "ColorBlack"}; }; }; }foreach EYE_targets_obj; }; { deleteMarker _x; }foreach EYE_markers_str; player sideChat "EYE thread 2 finished" ; };

Hmm. Wonder what I'm missing. I tried your example above off a radio trigger and can't get it working with the default attack for love nor money. [west, ["getinpoloCar"],["Monter dans le Tout-terrain", "Monter dans le Tout-terrain", "Monter dans le Tout-terrain"], [poloCar, true], "ASSIGNED", 1, true, "Attack", true] call BIS_fnc_taskCreate; Description.ext author = magicpanda; onLoadName = SPAWN COMPOSITIONS TEST; class Header { gameType = SP; minPlayers = 1; maxPlayers = 1; }; class CfgTaskEnhancements { enable = 1; //0: disable new task features (default), 1: enable new task features & add new task markers and task widgets into the map 3d = 1; //0: do not use new 3D markers (default), 1: replace task waypoints with new 3D markers 3dDrawDist = 10000; //3d marker draw distance (default: 2000) share = 1; //0: do not count assigned players (default), 1: count how many players have the task assigned propagate = 1; //0: do not propagate (default), 1: propagate shared tasks to subordinates }; class CfgTaskTypes { class Attack { icon = \A3\UI_F_MP_Mark\Data\Tasks\Types\Attack_ca.paa; icon3D = \A3\UI_F_MP_Mark\Data\Tasks\Types3D\Attack_ca.paa; }; class Defend { icon = \A3\UI_F_MP_Mark\Data\Tasks\Types\Defend_ca.paa; icon3D = \A3\UI_F_MP_Mark\Data\Tasks\Types3D\Defend_ca.paa; }; };

Is this currently working on live or only on dev branch?

Can anyone help? Im trying to get a array of markers or objects into the mapping line and create task lines but im banging my head against my monitor for the last hour or so. Edit, cracked it. _pos = ["rb1", "rb2", "rb3"]; _startPos = _pos call BIS_fnc_selectRandom; [west, "task2", ["Destroy the ammo caches", "Destroy Cache", "Destroy Cache"], (getMarkerPos _startPos), true] spawn BIS_fnc_taskCreate; _myComp = [ ["Land_WoodenBox_F",[5.31836,8.34668,7.62939e-006],251.002,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["Land_d_House_Small_02_V1_F",[-8.42969,7.22559,-0.002882],8.9999,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["Land_WoodenCart_F",[13.1436,2.69531,-0.00475502],0.00676493,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["Land_Sacks_heap_F",[12.877,4.68848,3.05176e-005],64.0005,1,0,[],"","",true,false] ] ; 0 = [(getMarkerPos _startPos), 190, _myComp] call BIS_fnc_ObjectsMapper;

Which script are you using?

Cheers Grumpy and all, worked perfectly. Liking event handlers!

I'm trying to set up a kind of Evac APC for basic squad manangement in a sandbox type environment. Basically the player tells the Unit in thier group to get into the back of a crewed APC and after a few secs they are deleted from the player group and from the mission altogether. The key is keeping the APC intact and only deleting units from my group. There is a reinforcement script at work so I dont think I can just name all my units. I've got a shonky version kind of working via a trigger placed over a crewed APC with activation "any group member present". on Act evac = createGroup west; [thislist select 0] join evac; sleep 1; { deleteVehicle _x; } forEach units evac; or something like this thislist select 0 setVehicleVarName evac; deleteVehicle evac However it goes tits up when you order more than one squad member near or into the APC or doesn't work at all. I'm pretty sure there is a better way to do this but googling all sorts of things has brought up nothing. Also, is there a way to run scripts on AI units in my team selected with the Function Keys or on AI units in a team? e.g. Team Yellow.

Is this what you mean? Place an empty object > intel > secret file In the init put if (isServer) then { this setVariable ["RscAttributeDiaryRecord_texture","a3\structures_f_epc\Items\Documents\Data\document_secret_01_co.paa", true]; [this,"RscAttributeDiaryRecord",["Top Secret Docs","These Docs outline the enemies defenses",""]] call bis_fnc_setServerVariable; this setVariable ["recipients", west, true]; [this,"init"] spawn bis_fnc_initIntelObject; }; Now go pick it up.

Cheers! Problem is you lose the APC crew as well which are used for area defence.

Cheers chaps, I know my way around the editor well but my scripting knowledge is limited hence trying odd things :) This is all a bit lost on me. Will have a proper look later. APCNAME addEventHandler ["GetIn",{ _delete = _this spawn { params ["","","_unit"]; sleep 5; deletevehicle _unit; }; }];

I dug this old script out from Arma 2 and updated a little to work with Arma 3 (show independents as green). I've come to a bit of a road block. I'm trying to work out how to turn it on and off in via radio trigger command. for example in a 30 second burst. Any help greatly appreciated. Bonus points for adding civilian markers instead of just black for everything dead or civ, my failed attempt is commented out :) My On Act: doesn't work nul = execVM "eye.sqf"; sleep 30; EYE_run = false; Here is the script. /* EYE 1.0 Author: Zapat Shows all units on map in a relatively system friendly way. Dot: infantry Rectangle: ground vehicles Triangle: air vehicles Blue: west Red: east Green: Independent Black: civilian OR damaged in movement thus left vehicle Orange: player Yellow: player's team */ //you can turn on and off the EYE by the following Global Variable EYE_run = true; player sideChat "EYE is running"; EYE_targets_obj = []; EYE_markers_str = []; //data handler [] spawn { while {EYE_run} do { sleep 2; EYE_targets_obj = position player nearEntities [["LandVehicle","Air","CAManBase"], 20000]; EYE_targets_str = []; { EYE_targets_str set [count EYE_targets_str, format["%1",_x]]; }foreach EYE_targets_obj; _deleted = EYE_markers_str - EYE_targets_str; { deleteMarker _x; EYE_markers_str = EYE_markers_str - [_x]; }foreach _deleted; }; player sideChat "EYE thread 1 finished" ; }; //visualiser [] spawn { while {EYE_run} do { sleep 0.1; { if (!isNull _x) then { _marker = format["%1",_x]; //create marker if (getMarkerType _marker == "") then { _m = createMarker[_marker,position _x]; _m setMarkerShape "ICON"; if (_x isKindof "CAManBase") then {_m setMarkerType "hd_dot";}; if (_x isKindof "LandVehicle") then {_m setMarkerType "mil_box";}; if (_x isKindof "Air") then {_m setMarkerType "mil_triangle";}; if (side _x == east) then {_m setMarkerColor "ColorOPFOR";}; if (side _x == west) then {_m setMarkerColor "ColorBLUFOR";}; if (side _x == Independent) then {_m setMarkerColor "ColorIndependent";}; //if (side _x == Civilian) then {_m setMarkerColor "ColorCivilian";}; if (_x in units group player) then {_m setMarkerColor "ColorYellow";}; if (_x == player) then {_m setMarkerColor "ColorOrange";}; EYE_markers_str set [count EYE_markers_str, _marker]; } //update marker else { _marker setMarkerPos position _x; if (getMarkerColor _marker != "ColorBlack" && (!alive _x || !canMove _x) ) then {_marker setMarkerColor "ColorBlack"}; }; }; }foreach EYE_targets_obj; }; { deleteMarker _x; }foreach EYE_markers_str; player sideChat "EYE thread 2 finished" ; };

Edit: Nvm, not what you were after.

Really nice pack :) Is there anything similar to cursorTarget I can use for a drop spot for Paras or the Reinforce chopper? cursorTarget works great but only allows for targeting objects like buildings. If I point my cursor at a nice open field cursorTarget doesn't kick in

Get an odd error doing that. http://i.imgur.com/p5etets.png Tried a NATO basic arms box and aCargobox object. Have to bear with me, not played Arma in a year so I'm rusty and was never that good in the first place :) this execVM "myCrateLoadout.sqf" didnt work so I used null = [this] execVM "ammobox.sqf"; which seemed to run the script but throw up the error.

Amazing! Just one more thing. How do you translate this into an .sqf to use with execVM? I want to make a complete NATO Arsenal which is quite a lot to stick in an init box. Nothing I've tried after an hour has worked

I've got a very basic ejector seat script working while BI sort their stuff out. I so often get killed on Eject. This is safe. Hoping someone with better scripting knowledge than my beginner shite can tidy it up, make it work better for all jets perhaps? :) Make a jet call it jet1. in the init this addAction ["<t color='#FF6600'>EJECT</t>", "ejector.sqf", "", 0, false, false, "", "player IN jet1"]; ejector.sqf - This will fling you upwards at 50 metres per second and with a bit of forward momentum in the direction of travel. player setPos [ getPos vehicle player select 0, getPos vehicle player select 1, (getPos vehicle player select 2) +5]; player setvelocity [80 * (sin (getdir vehicle player)), 80 * (cos (getdir vehicle player)),50];

Not sure if this will work in MP but... Stick down a game logic (under units) Call it Bob. In the init of Bob. Bob Action ["lightOn", carnamehere]

Does the task destination work 100% when you script them?

Edit Beaten to it :) Need an AND in there. triggeractivated trig1 && !(unit1 in car1) or triggeractivated trig1 AND !(unit1 in car1)

Yeah! Sign me up, the missions are already in progress :)
