You could have ammo boxes scattered around the map. Each box has a single magazine filled to 10%. Place them well apart.

I create a hint by way of a trigger. The hint always appears in the top right of the screen. How can I place the hint at the top-middle of the screen?

titleText is what I was looking for thank you! Now to study all the paramaters 😋😋

To update the location of the player: Name the friendly unit blue1 name the enemy unit red1. Place a third man on the map, on a flat road, in an out of the way place. Name him green1 Set up some waypoints including a cycle waypoint so that green1 runs up the road 50 meters, turns around and runs back again 50 meters, turns around and runs up again 50 meters for ever and ever in a never ending loop. Set up a trigger in the middle of his route. When he enters the trigger, it activates. When he leaves the trigger it deactivates. You now type some script in two fields of the trigger, the activation field and the deactivation field; red1 move getPos blue1; red1 setCombatMode "RED"; ==================================================== The result is that whenever blue1 moves, red1 will always know his location and will constantly come looking for him. .

Give each unit a name. Then name them within the trigger and only the named units will be deleted.

Presume you will search 50 buildings. Place 50 dots along one edge of the map. Make them the smallest possible size being 1 x 1 Make them black. (Nobody will notice them.) Name each dot - dot01, dot02, .........dot49, dot50 Place a trigger over each of the 50 buildings. That of course makes 50 triggers. Set each trigger so they will fire only once. Name yourself blue1 In trigger number 1 you write: dot01 setpos getpos blue1 ///This makes one dot appear over house 1 Then write another line to increase the size of the dot to a good size Then write another line to change the colour of the dot to say, red. Write code in each of the other 49 triggers. So, you enter a trigger, the trigger fires and a dot is placed over the house. As you search house after house dots will appear over each house and remain where they have appeared. . .

Yes that was just an example. Instead of hand grenade smoke find the class name of mortar smoke or artillery smoke and use that.

Yes, you can simulate the explosion of anything in the game. Everything from hand grenades to massive rockets all from triggers. We moved house and I lost my notes! Search through Arma 2 posts. After you find the command you need to find the class name of the item.

I place myself on the map and arrange it so I start at one of 30 places at random. I place 2 enemy soldiers on the map. They are named red1 and red2 　 I want the 2 enemy soldiers to start the mission about 200 meters to my north. When the mission starts a script runs and places the 2 soldiers 200 meters to my north as planned. 　 However I want red2 to appear sometimes and not other times. I means I never know how many enemy there are. So, in the init of red2 I set it so that he appears only 50% of the time Now, from time to time red2 is deleted. It means the script above stops with an error message: "object red2 does not exist" or words to that effect. 　 In the meantime if I wish to delete red2 in a script, I can use: deletevehicle red2 So, I am looking for a command along the lines of: deletevehicle red 2 and do so at random. What is the command for this? .

Thank you to enigma. This is what I was looking for. I wrote it like this: if (random 100 < 50) then {deleteVehicle red2 }; // Giving a chance of 50% of being deleted

I could do this easily in Arma 2 I could do this easily in Arma 3 Then there was a major update to the editor so I don't know how to do it any more I named a file Red Widget One And it came out as: Red%20Widget%20One.Altis Using underscores I changed it to: Red_Widget_One.Altis Now, how do I get rid of the name of the island? .

Another option. Create some enemies and place them at an out of the way place. Create a trigger. When the trigger fires, have the trigger transport some or all of the soldiers into the trigger area. And arrange it so that they appear at random locations within that trigger area. .

Use opforce soldiers and give them AAF uniforms!

I have been trying to do this for about 6 years. My ultimate goal was to have mortars fire so that the rounds would land randomly. I started with an AI rifleman firing at a practice target. I tried many things. The usual result is that he would fire at the target till it was "killed". He would never again at a pop up target nor could I make him fire at a second target.

Search this forum for "camera controls" no results found. In the Eden editor: - I can move the camera left and right. - I can look up and look down. - I can move the camera forward - When the camera reaches high ground it bumps into the high ground and stops. How can I move the camera up and down? . . . ( The controls called "Development" or "Bulldozer" don't seem to do anything) .

There is a vehicle named Strider. By default it comes in AAF colour scheme. In the virtual arsenal there is an option to select another colour scheme - Blueforce. How can I place a Strider on the map with a Blueforce colour scheme?

Arma was originally intended as a first person shooter. I am a wargamer so I would love it if high command worked in the way it ought. Many wargamers would be attracted to the game.

synch the trigger with the vehicle. Then that vehicle is the only thing that can activate the trigger

You can change the size of the marker so that it is so small it becomes invisible.

I have the answer. Firstly start any mission and note the time. Now add a trigger with the command skiptime 1; Start the mission, check the time, walk into the trigger and check the time again. The time has skipped forward one hour ============================================================================================ To solve my issue above: Set the scenario time to 18:00 hours Quite often when a mission starts a script runs. If that is the case then at the top of your script type skiptime (random 1); Start the mission and the time will be anywhere from 18:00 hours to 19:00 hours at random. (The goal is to have a slightly different start time every time we play the mission. It means the light is different). .

We all know that we can set the time in a scenario. 1. How do we set the time using a script? 2. Now that we have set the time using a script, how do we set the time at random between 18:00 and 19:00 ? . .

Create one trigger that detects that the man is inside the trigger area. Create a second trigger that covers the whole map. This trigger detects that the man is injured. Create a third trigger that detects the first two triggers have fired. Voila! .

Study the trigger screen. Within the trigger screen you can set the amount of time: Once the trigger conditions are met you can set the delay so the trigger only fires 5 seconds or 5 minuted or whater time after. .

Its partly because the infantry are so small they are difficult to detect. I have tested this problem and you can too. There is a trigger activation: Detected by Opforce If the trigger never activates it means they cannot detect the troops. To force the attack you need to name the aircraft and name each soldier and instruct the jet to attack the soldiers
