Sorry to bring this thread back to life however I am trying to use Belbo's function and whilst it seems to initially work, when I switch to the commander seat of a tank, the panels are back alive again. This is also true for the Gunner so I believe this is only disabled for the driver. I am using the method of calling [this,false] call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "fn_enableInfoPanel.sqf"; in the init line of the tank, and fn_enableInfoPanel is set up identical to the GitHub code. Is there a way to run this on the Commander position of the tank? The desired result I am trying to achieve is to remove calling the mini-map/gps on a tank from all seat positions to simulate pre GPS era warfare. Thanks.

I originally posted in 2016.. 6 years later I still love and use this script. Just wanted to say THANK YOU for the work over the years!👍

Thanks for the replies. Steam, arma3 launcher, arma3 and ts3 are all set to run as administrator. Arma3 files have been verified Still black screen on load, no change after 20 mins. No issues with antivirus that i am aware of. using windows anti-virus, toggled off, same issue. Toby eye tracking, i have... turned this off, same issue. edit 2 - there is a service for toby still running, this has now been stopped, outcome is it does load.... thank you for the assistance. do you happen to know why there may be a conflict there? @brainslush

Hi there, I am having a problem with ACRE2, causing ArmA to stall/crash into a black screen, whilst loading from the ArmA launcher. TS3 v3.3.2 ACRE2 v2.7.1 CBA_A3 v3.12.2 Both TS3 and ArmA loading in Administrator Mode, with the only mods running - CBA_A3, Acre2. ArmA3 running 64 bit. When Acre is not loaded, ArmA launches absolutely fine. Here is where the RPT writes to, when the black screen occurs. It's the black screen you get when ArmA launches, it seems to get stuck with at the below line: 21:20:02 CallExtension loaded: acre (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\!Workshop\@ACRE2\acre_x64.dll) [2.7.1.1016] To try to resolve the issue, I have -removed all traces of Acre, from all steam caches and local files. -re installed Acre via steam - still not working. -removed all files again -manually installed Acre from another members instance of Acre - still not launching. -removed all files again, reinstalled via Steam as well as re-installing TS3 plugin - still not working -removed all configs and arma profiles - still not working. Have not tried to reinstall ArmA yet, was wondering if there may have been anyone else with this issue, and a fix for this without reinstalling ArmA. Please can you very kindly, assist me with finding a solution to get ArmA to launch with Acre2 thank you.

Hi, is there anyway you can release this version with the Revive and Stabilize features with the overlay as a Rsc and not as a Dialogue? This current version is fantastic as it allows for medevac stations, and allows players to stabilize the wounded, however whilst reviving/stabilizing, the injured the medic cant use any controls as it is in a dialogue. As a group we don't use any other communication apart from VON. Can you kindly check this out please?

I keep getting, for some reason, a D3d error and arma3 closes down. from my RPT file 20:45:05 DX11 error : Device removed: : DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED 20:45:05 DX11 - device removed - reason: DXGI_ERROR_DRIVER_INTERNAL_ERROR ErrorMessage: D3D Error - DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED followed by Exception code: 0000DEAD at 09231F28 graphics: D3D11, Device: AMD Radeon R9 200 Series and Mods: A3;curator;kart;heli;mark;expansion;dlcbundle Extensions: Distribution: 0 Version 1.68.141205 Fault time: 2017/04/22 20:45:42 Fault address: 09231F28 00:09231F28 Unknown module Prev. code bytes: E8 27 B2 00 00 48 8D 4C 24 20 FF 15 C8 A7 05 00 Fault code bytes: 48 8B 8C 24 C0 00 00 00 48 33 CC E8 98 7A 00 00 any ideas?

hello I have been using the BIS function BIS_fnc_findSafePos to locate a random point from a position, which is great as it finds me a position within the search area specified, that is not in water however, I am using it to find a position to move an area marker down which is 300 x 300. the area of this marker will, at some point overlap some areas of the coast/sea. _positions = [selection1, A, B, 0, 0, 0, 0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos; I am trying to ensure that the marker area, will never be over the sea, as this will be used as a paradrop area. Any ideas?

I have safeguarded this with the black list of "marker". Marker coveres an area of sea. basically a beach Lz is created > it then selects a predefined inland position which will always be on land > it then kicks in the above for a paradrop position. Would you agree this would work with what i have? Is the version you posted worth me using? (not trying to be rude, I am asking from a very naive point of view) thank you

solved I was using getPos player as a default, which doesnt work as it is a command. fixed by using _default = [0,0,0]; now _dps will look for a position _wps will check this position if water is found within this position, it returns _default if _wps isequal to _default (which means if it found water) then it stops the loop private ["_loop","_dps","_wps","_default"]; _loop = 1; _default = [0,0,0]; while {_loop > 0} do { _dps = [activezone,1750,1750,0,0,0,0,["marker"],[_default,_default]] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos; // will find a random pos 1750 from my active zone, will avoid looking at the area of marker. sleep 0.5; _wps = [_dps,300,300,0,2,0,0,[],[_default,_default]] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos; // will return _default if this does NOT find water sleep 1; if (_wps isequalto _default) // checks if _wps isequalto _default then { hint "no water"; _loop = _loop -1; // stops the loop when condition is met sleep 1; "markerpara" setmarkerpos _wps; // places a marker at _Wps found location "markerpara2" setmarkerpos _dps; // places a marker at _DPS found location } else { hint "water"; sleep 1; "markerpara" setmarkerpos _wps; // places a marker at _Wps found location "markerpara2" setmarkerpos _dps; // places a marker at _DPS found location }; sleep 1; };

im having a problem with my IF condition. In theory, _DPS will find a position, _WPS checks this position 300x300 if there is water. if NO water is found, bis_fnc_findsafepos, will use the default which is defined as my players pos (as a test) then _WPS should equal player pos (which i have named zone as a test at the start of the fnc) if there is NO water. however, looking at how the markers move, it keeps looping, even when it find positions that dont have water. any ideas where i am going wrong? private ["_fncactive","_dps","_wps","_test"]; _fncactive = 0; zone = getpos player; while {_fncactive < 1} do { _dps = [activezone,1750,1750,0,0,0,0,["marker"],[getPos player, getPos player]] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos; // will find a random pos 1750 from active zone, will avoid marker. sleep 0.1; _wps = [_dps,300,300,0,2,0,0,[],[getPos player, getPos player]] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos; // will return player pos if this does not find water sleep 1; if (_wps isequalto zone) // in theory if _wps does NOT find water, _WPS should default to getplayerpos then { hint "no water"; _fncactive = _fncactive +1; // stops the loop sleep 1; "markerpara2" setmarkerpos _dps; "markerpara" setmarkerpos _wps; } else { hint "water"; sleep 1; "markerpara" setmarkerpos _wps; "markerpara2" setmarkerpos _dps; };

this will ask if water is at a position, which is good. is there anyway to apply this to an area though?

okay, i might be going about this the wrong way, but im struggling for an IF condition for a loop in a function private ["_fncactive","_dps","_wps"]; _fncactive = 0; zone = getpos player; while {_fncactive < 1} do { _dps = [position,750,750,0,0,0,0,[],[getPos player, getPos player]] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos; _wps = [_Dps,300,300,0,2,0,0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos; if ( condition ) then { hint "no water"; _fncactive +1; } else { hint "water"; }; };

actually... thats a great shout there. didnt think about flipping it. tunnel vision! will post up if i get somewhere. thanks Sarogahtyp

Yup. It is set to 0. The single point is indeed not in water But when i move the marker to that point, the area of the marker can still be in water. Is there a way to direct the area of the marker away from water? Ive thought about the black list option too but im struggling to find the right expression/commands to help with it.

these both worked great! one problem.... and i didnt know this, VA has a hot keybind of CTRL+R to randomize loadouts. even with save/load/random disabled, players can still find a way of getting something they shouldnt have ... any ideas? by the way your override_VA_templates worked great! EDIT found this... :D

....doh.. called the _handle too soon convoy\convoyInit.sqf

Hi, where would you execute this? I am using a script which defines what equipment will be available in the arsenal that runs when the client uses the ammo box. Would this be where this gets executed or does this only need to be executed once? Thanks

Hi there, I am trying to add an addAction to a group spawned in with BIS_fnc_spawnGroup. Ideally to the team "leader O_G_Soldier_TL_F". Below is the part of the script I am using to call in the groups _group5 = ["O_G_Soldier_TL_F","O_G_medic_F","O_G_Soldier_GL_F","O_G_Soldier_AR_F","O_G_Soldier_F"]; private ["_pos"]; _pos = _this select 0; //----------------------------------- spawns small group private ["_grp", "_pos"]; _pos = markerPos "enemy_spawnsmall_mrk_1"; // the marker it spawns on _grp = [_pos, EAST, _group5] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup; // spawns the group [_grp, _pos, 50] call BIS_fnc_taskPatrol; // sets the group to patrol I have had a look through various threads regarding addActions however I am struggling to find a method in which I can find the "O_G_Soldier_TL_F" after the group i spawned and add an addaction to it. Any ideas? Thank you

its working :) thank you very much! would say this thread is solved!

(leader _grp) addAction ["myaction", {[] execVM myaction.sqf;(_this select 0) removeAction (_this select 2);}]; (leader _grp) addAction ["myaction", {[] execVM "myaction.sqf";(_this select 0) removeAction (_this select 2);}]; it seems to be working with myaction.sqf in "", am i missing a ; somewhere too?

getting an error. rpt file shows 11:27:11 Error in expression <dAction ["myaction", {[] execVM myaction.sqf (_this select 0) removeAction (_thi> 11:27:11 Error position: <.sqf (_this select 0) removeAction (_thi> 11:27:11 Error Missing ; private ["_grp", "_pos"]; _pos = markerPos "enemy_spawnsmall_mrk_5"; _grp = [_pos, EAST, _group5] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup; [_grp, _pos, 50] call BIS_fnc_taskPatrol; (leader _grp) addAction ["myaction", {[] execVM myaction.sqf;(_this select 0) removeAction (_this select 2);}];

thanks all, i have used the following to give the leaders an addAction private ["_grp", "_pos"]; _pos = markerPos "enemy_spawnsmall_mrk_4"; _grp = [_pos, EAST, _group5] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup; [_grp, _pos, 50] call BIS_fnc_taskPatrol; (leader _grp) addAction ["myaction", "myaction.sqf"]; private ["_grp", "_pos"]; _pos = markerPos "enemy_spawnsmall_mrk_5"; _grp = [_pos, EAST, _group5] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup; [_grp, _pos, 50] call BIS_fnc_taskPatrol; (leader _grp) addAction ["myaction", "myaction.sqf"]; when adding the addAction to multiple groups, if the addAction was called on one of the groups, how would i remvoe the addaction only from the group that it was from? for example if group one had an addaction search for intel, i would want that called once, and then removed from that groups leader but not the rest? thank you
