For example, you can hide and de-simulate everything in a specified layer with: { _x hideObjectGlobal true; _x enableSimulationGlobal false; } forEach ((getMissionLayerEntities "YOUR LAYER NAME HERE") select 0); To show and simulate, you just change the boolean values above.

I did something like this many years ago. You organize your random sites (props and units together is likely easiest) into layers, give each layer name a number (eg. Layer_RandomSite_1), then generate a random number set from 1 to however many sites you have and selecting the number of sites you want to make visible (eg. if it's 3 sites of 6, select the first 3 values of that random number sequence), then you can use enableSim and hideObject to selectively show or hide the corresponding layers.

A 5-man SASR patrol is inserted into the fortified May Tao mountains to gather intel ahead of a full-scale operation by 6RAR/NZ. Put your mastery of jungle warfare to the test. FEATURES A single player (co-op friendly up to 5 players) scenario designed to match the quality of the S.O.G. Prairie Fire co-op campaign! Over a dozen detailed random sites, random patrols, VC tunnels, and more random elements for higher replayability - you will not experience everything this scenario has to offer in a single, or even two playthroughs! Thousands of hand-placed props and set pieces you can only experience in this scenario for maximum immersion - from a thrilling helicopter insertion sequence to a dangerous emergency extraction! Range of day/night play scenarios supported at your patrol's "laager" (the SASR equivalent of the SOG remain overnight site or RON), creep around at night or patrol by day! Compatible with SOG AI (recommended for even deeper single player immersion), or optional AI revive script and player always leads scripts! Dynamic Simulation and Show/Hide used for optimized CPU-friendly performance! AUTHOR'S NOTES This is my fifth release for the S.O.G. Prairie Fire CDLC and the first since the jaw-dropping 1.2 update that added ANZAC and SASR units and equipment (among a host of others). This scenario was created in collaboration with Johnnyboy, author of the excellent SOG AI addon that offers an improved experience for single player. INTENDED FOR SINGLEPLAYER, should work in co-op for up to 5, NOT INTENDED FOR PUBLIC SERVER Although I have a lot of learning to do, elements in this scenario are inspired and informed by historical sources related to the ANZACs and SASR/NZSAS in Vietnam, including books, film/documentary, internet articles, and historical insights graciously provided by members of the SOG PF discord's history channel.

KNOWN ISSUES The intro sequence featuring helicopter insertion is not entirely stable - most frequent issues are either the helicopter rotates to obstruct your shot (for SP, just switch units), and the helicopter takes fire, pulls up and flys over the insertion LZ and takes a long time to insert. Sorry about these issues, try restarting or just be patient as the helicopter should eventually insert your patrol. There are sometimes issues where the units will speak in an American or other accent and it breaks immersion - sorry about this as well, but it's due to the artful but different way Australian/NZ accents are included in the CDLC. Some issues with switching units while in the laager and the action not carrying over - the actions are always removed when the full team exits the immediate area of the laager and the group leader (or switchable unit you have selected in running the player always group leader script) will get the action. Can't figure out how to complete the primary objectives - read the damn briefing and refer to the attachments included in the briefing for more details!

Hi there, this looks like a really useful set of scripts and the website documentation and tools make it super easy to customize. However, I cannot get Ambient Combat to work - nothing is happening. I have installed the script correctly - I seem to be able to get ambient explosions to run in some form as I can see slow-movers flying around, and I am seeing errors referencing code inside the ambient combat script when I intentionally cause an error in the parameters (eg. adding a unit name as the first parameter for Ambient Combat, which doesn't work that way). Even when using the default, no units will spawn, even after 30-120 seconds. I've tried running it from the inits of units in game, in triggers, and in the equivalent of my init.sqf, on Altis with just the scripts, the description.ext and a player, etc.

I just ran a quick test and it worked! The takeaway: Show/Hide Object Modifier module is unreliable and as of this post can not be trusted to work. Organizing entities into Layers is key. You can then use getMissionLayerEntities in combination with hideObject and enableSimulation to essentially perform the same function using script, which is more stable. For example: // To Globally Hide a Layer containing only Props { _x hideObjectGlobal true; } forEach ((getMissionLayerEntities "Layer Name") select 0); // To Globally Hide/Disable Simulation for a Layer containing Units { _x hideObjectGlobal true; _x enableSimulationGlobal false; } forEach ((getMissionLayerEntities "Layer Name") select 0); Shouts to Harzach for helping me figure this out, I will of course credit you in the next update. Thank you!

Thanks a lot for answering the above and sharing your wisdom! Good luck getting any of my old campaigns running. I was able to get a few scenarios running using Merge, but sadly, due to issues with the Reshmaan province addon, you can only play shreds. I am currently working on a spiritual nod to Task Force 42 with a UKSF long range motorized patrol type of mission set in Syria which makes use of dynamic sim with fair amounts of units that are placed reasonably spaced apart (~500m), I have removed Show/Hide for now, and plan to add spawned units.

Thank you for the reply! I fell back into editing a little while ago. Hope you enjoy some of my A3 creations! I organize all entities in EDEN into layers, so converting to script could work without having to replace all units with spawn points and waypoint game logics. I might give this a try. A couple questions, in case you happen to know it might save me some time: It seems like deleteVehicle is preferred for hiding things when they are no longer needed? hideObject and enableSimulation false is good for CPU management of things you want to keep using, but I shouldn't use these when I can just delete it? Using a hide module synced to a trigger was easier for my lazy ass than naming groups and writing deleteVehicle scripts. Guess it's just not a reliable enough way to do it. Should I use enableSimulationGlobal if the same scenario is intended for both singleplayer (primarily) and coop-6 instead of enableSimulation? I'll test it myself, but I assume I should delete the Hide modules? Or would the essentially redundant commands passed thru the modules make it more stable? A fellow editor friend suggested it might be conflicting with Dynamic Simulation, but I do not use that on the mission in question I just released. Are you aware of any issues with Dynamic Simulation and showObject / enableSimulation?

Giving this a gentle bump, as I have continued searching through old threads, trying solutions suggested there, such as making the triggers synced to the show/hide modules "Server Only" to no avail. Has anyone else experienced this or seen a solution? Might try PM'ing a few of the scripting sages out of the blue if not.

I recently learned about the Show/Hide Object Modifier module and put it to use in a couple of my recent releases. Primarily, I saw it as a way to optimize CPU performance while having a lot of unit activity and scenes for effects (helos flying over, masses of enemy appearing without having to manually spawn w/ script and game logic, etc.). I didn't have any noticeable issues with it in my SOG PF scenario, Unexpected Guests, but for some reason, in other applications, such as my most recent scenario, SEAL TEAM HVT Elimination, it's showing some rather odd behavior. You can play and test it yourself, or see in the Steam workshop page a player reporting this w/ a screenshot. It seems to happen always when reverting from an autosave, it also happens when creating a manual save and reverting: multiple different layers that are synced to their own Hide modules with no trigger (so, hidden at mission start) and synced with triggers to Show (with various conditions, all do not show) do not show after a player has reverted, or, layers that should be hidden are showing after a revert. For example, I have a guard standing on the roof the player needs to spot from a sniper hide. Both the guard and the sniper hide are hidden using separate Hide modules. If playing from a reverted save, when the player arrives and the sniper hide and the guard are supposed to appear, they simply do not. If the player does not revert to a prior save, and they make it to this point, the sniper hide, the guard, etc. will all show up correctly. If the player saves after they successfully see the sniper hide and guard, then revert, all shown layers will still be visible. However, other layers that are still hidden (eg. a QRF that shows 30-90 seconds when the player is detected by OPFOR, players must board the evac Osprey for the mission to end), will not show in the case of the revert. Another example, in my current project (which will rely primarily on Dynamic Simulation and spawning, rather than Show/Hide for CPU, using Show/Hide only for set pieces), the player's insertion has 4 helos, each are, of course, visible at mission start, and when the insertion is complete the helos withdraw over some mountains and hit a hide trigger. When I revert, the helos show back up, hovering just off the border over the waypoint that leads them into the hide trigger. I know I can just deleteVehicle etc. to get rid of these, and I will likely do that instead as the helos are not needed after insertion. I've done a little hunting on my own but haven't seen this issue reported specifically. Can anyone help me figure out what's going on and if I can fix this without needing to re-do everything from scratch.

Dynamically-spawned enemies for optimized CPU-friendly performance! No additional addons required besides the S.O.G. Prairie Fire DLC (rare for my scenarios)! AUTHOR'S NOTES I have been messing with MACV SOG scenarios for years using UNSUNG, but never got around to releasing one. When S.O.G. Prairie Fire was released, it was like a dream come true. And though the lack of single player content included with the DLC was a bit of a let-down, the awesome quality of all these assets meant I'd just have to make the SOG scenarios I've always wanted to play myself (which is half the fun for me). While play testing, I was often challenged and occasionally frustrated trying to keep my entire RT of AI units undetected and alive from start to finish. Rest assured, it is possible (especially now that I've added healing). The closer you run the mission using similar tactics to the real unit, the better your chances of succeeding. Riding out of a hot PZ back to FOB1 after completing the mission was one of the best Arma moments I've had in years, I hope you enjoy it too...if you can make it that far!
