To keep the marker visible you need to have "showmarker" as UPS hides the marker, that is why it disappears but it is still there just invisible. I presume they spawn @ 0,0,0 but then move to the marker ? or do they stay at 0,0,0 ?

I would try moving the marker to the next task and not deleting it , it looks like they spawn and the marker is not there , so they spawn 0,0,0 or add a sleep after you recreate the marker before you spawn to see if that helps.

Haveing an issue with Respawning Vehicles :- nul=[this,"strelka","init:","respawn:",10] execVM "scripts\upsmon.sqf" It respawns but the guys never get back in the Vehicles they set off on foot ? Any idea how to get them bck into the vehicles ? Ta

Thanks , I changed this but i still spawn miles away no hear anything, then for some reason I am unable to move the HQ ?

Hi Mikie Boy, I have seen your suicide Bombers script page 2 i think , but is there a way instead of placing units to auto creat them on the fly i.e once 1 is dead it will spawn another in a new location ? As i do not want to preplace them. Ta

I have made a few changes to Insurgency mission we play and now I would like to port it to another map from Takistan , it all works appart from the base spawns miles off the map , how can I change the distance on the Base spawn ? could not locate where it does that Thanks

Would there be a way to also capture how many lives are left like the MSO does so when they re join they get the number of ,oives again untill reset or after 24 hours etc..?

All works like a charm You are a Top Man !!!!!

Sorry that was a typo the unlock is false :) This is a MP mission and I have a keypad that I am using to lock and unlcok things with a keypad and password they get during the mission and it unlock a few vehicles etc.. So any way I can do this with an addaction ? ahh i see what you mean sorry brain failure ill try that now ignore above !!

Has anyone managed to get this working with the MSO (NOMAD) - i have it mostly working appart from the number of Lives it allways resets it back to the orginal amout, it saved the players kit position etc.. Anyone managed to do this?

Not sure if it is me but when we defuse IED's we get a message about Updating location on Factory but we get nothing else I thought we would get a marker set on the map of approx location ? Should I ?

DOH servers are all empty :(

Also need Linux 1.62 patch Server all empty as eveyone has updated ETA ?

Guys anyone know if there is a Linux 1.62 Patch so i can update our Dedi server ?

OK I have a dedi server on Linux , how do i patch it ? Is there a patch for Linux on the way ?

Anyone having Issues after installing this patch , my game will not load anymore even without anymods on :( Any suggestions or is it a full reinstall ? solved REMOVED SOUND.DLL working again now

A quick question I am using the ShackTac Fireteam HUD (STHUD) and noticed that when the leader dies i.e in a car or watrer we all lose the HUD could it be the Colum_revive_Death_LeaveGroup= true; Is there an issue if i chan ge it to False ? not sure what it does would it still show the killed corps in the group as well ?

I would like to just use the scania trucks is that possible as i am trying to put together a pack for my clan, and update our server but do not need all the other stuff to reduce the size of files, can you advise what pbo's I would need, if it is possible or are they all linked ? Thanks - great work BTW !

I have been playing a MP game now for the last week but the man who gives us the Mission has gone walkabout must have forgot to put him on hold, and I really do not want to restart the whole game as we have built a base etc... so is there a console out there that can run a function so i can get my side missions? I just need to call the following [] call ps_addmission Is there a console type of thing that i can run as an addon just to call this ? thanks

Not sure why but I set it to 48 hours , and after that time i.e i left it 3 days and went back into the server (i still had 8 lives left) It goes in fine but within about 45sec I get ACE Spectating mode - even thoi i have disabled it.

I have given my UPSMON a loadout off different color Grenades , but when they throw smoke they are white all the time ? Is it coded into UPSMON to only throw White ?

Thanks works a treat !

I am creating a group as below but how can I change the smoke so they all carry a random Smoke color ? _blockers = [getPos _roadpos, EAST, (configFile >> "CfgGroups" >> "EAST" >> "INS" >> "Infantry" >> "INS_InfSquad")] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup; Thanks

Total understand and agree, but my players know only AI have white smoke so they all take different colour smoke , if they see white smoke they Put rounds into any white smoke as they know it is from AI , hence I wanted to change things for a mission i.e surprise them to keep them on their toes. So is there any way?

Is there a way to get them to throw a different colour smoke from the start, as they always throw white smoke
