May, 1966. US Navy SEALs and South Vietnamese LDNN Commandos are tasked with clearing out Vietcong guerillas along an important trade route in the Rung Sat Special Zone (RSSZ). Time to get your hands dirty.
FEATURES
- A single player scenario designed to match the quality of the S.O.G. Prairie Fire co-op campaign!
- Over a dozen detailed random sites, random patrols, ambient civilians, 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 deadly bamboo stronghold to an enemy-occupied cave!
- Virtual arsenal supported, AI revive script, limited High Command, and other features to tip the odds in your favor!
- Dynamic Simulation and Show/Hide used for optimized CPU-friendly performance!
- No additional addons required besides the S.O.G. Prairie Fire CDLC (rare for my scenarios)!
AUTHOR'S NOTES
- This is my fourth release for the S.O.G. Prairie Fire CDLC and the first since the jaw-dropping update that added US Navy SEAL and UDT units and equipment.
- Although I have a lot of learning to do, this scenario is inspired and informed by both historical and fictional sources related to UDT, primarily SEALs: UDT/SEAL Operations in Vietnam by T.L. Bosiljevac, as well as sources from Osprey Publishing and generally following historical discussion threads on the SOG PF Discord.
- This is a work of fiction, any resemblance to real people, units, or events is purely coincidental.
- The author and this mission is not affiliated with Savage Game Design.
- This is a beta release, some bugs may exist. Also, it's Arma, so there are bound to be things that will affect your playthrough. Reloading the mission can solve some issues. Please let me know if you run into any game-breaking bugs.
- NOT RESPONSIBLE for any game-breaking bugs or issues playing with any addons in addition to the required ones listed here and I can't be held responsible if things don't work because of another modder's addon.
- I'm interested to hear about your playthrough! If you enjoyed playing, please leave a comment, give a thumbs-up, or add it to your faves!

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!

2. Yup, using global variants will keep you COOP/MP-compatible and won't impact the SP experience (depending on use case, of course).
3. No reason to keep them.
4. Objects hidden by module or script should not be overridden by Dynamic Sim, ever. However, if you unhide something, it will then fall under the Dynamic Sim's rules, so that's a possible point of conflict.
Major nostalgia, I almost want to reinstall A2 so I can play through your fantastic Lions of Kandahar again.
Good luck, have fun!
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.

2 hours ago, Harzach said:Heya @h34dup!
Modules are always less robust than scripted solutions. Maybe take a look at getMissionLayerEntities? You can use enableSimulation/hideObject commands in conjunction with it to do exactly what you want. You just need to set up your Eden layers correctly.Lost track of you from the A2 days, I'll be checking out your new missions for sure!
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.

Bravo Team is ordered to eliminate a high-value target in Iran from across the Afghan border.
FEATURES
- SP or COOP play for up to 6 players, an unofficial fan rendition of the Paramount show, SEAL TEAM (S2E15) packed with details straight from the episode, "You Only Die Once"!
- Insertion by USMC-piloted Osprey with AH escort, with a Marine QRF on standby should the situation deteriorate - and you know it will at some point!
- Virtual armory-enabled supply crate at the LZ, allowing you to run custom addons and use whatever weapons/gear you want!
- AI revive script (by pierremgi) available at the supply crate at the LZ, to give you and your team a fighting chance at survival!
- Custom set-pieces, including concealed sniper hide and village marketplace inspired by the episode!
- A showcase of the strengths (and weaknesses) of Arma 3's powerful (but flawed) Show/Hide Object Modifiers - optimal performance at a cost: no autosave or reverts!
AUTHOR'S NOTES
- MOST IMPORTANTLY, this is an unofficial fan-made scenario, it is not affiliated with the TV Show, Paramount, or CBS in any way.
- Please use at your own risk and be patient if you encounter bugs, I cannot fix everything. Also, it's Arma, so there are bound to be things that will affect your playthrough. Reloading the mission is the best way to solve some known issues. Please let me know if you run into any game-breaking bugs.
- Sulllen Skies - Lythium, while not required to run the mission, is highly recommended to nail the right mood.
- NOT RESPONSIBLE for any game-breaking bugs or issues playing with any addons in addition to the required ones listed here (including ACE), I designed the mission to support Virtual Armory, but I can't be held responsible if things don't work because of another modder's addon.
- I'm interested to hear about your playthrough! If you enjoyed playing, please leave a comment, give a thumbs-up, or add it to your faves!
KNOWN ISSUES
- When using the spotting scope, some targets do not initially seem to be recognized as spotted - follow the hints, you should be able to spot the target successfully by hitting LMB while zoomed in with the spotting scope or binoculars. The scenario will advance when you successfully spot the target.

November, 1968. RT Raleigh is tasked with observing a suspected new branch on the Ho Chi Minh Trail and raiding an enemy rest station and supply dump. Go in quiet, go out loud.
FEATURES
- A challenging single player scenario designed to match the quality of the S.O.G. Prairie Fire co-op campaign!
- CAS and Helicopter Transport support modules!
- Virtual armory-enabled S-4 Logistics!
- SP-compatible AI revive script!
- Multiple approaches to completing the mission, rewards for operating like a real MACV SOG Recon Team!
- 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!

If they agree, then it should be a good laugh, since we've a 4-man squad, quite international (1 Brit, 1 Dutch, 1 Anglo-Swiss, 1 Anglo-French) but lack regular combat experience.
Rather like the Jedburgh teams!
I'll do my best to ensure that we video our efforts. Failing that, I'll provide an AAR.
Good luck getting them to accept the mods list - might be helpful to test this scenario with a smaller group to ensure there aren't any bugs. I'd hate to hear everyone loaded up but then there was some random bug with the scenario. For example, there is a script for SP that makes whatever unit the player is switched to become the group leader. I'm happy to join and test, play, or troubleshoot if there's a good time.

DOWNLOAD (v0.5 beta):
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2400461751
Lead your team of rangers to conduct a “butcher and bolt” raid on a small enemy-held airstrip. Your mission is to infiltrate Norway via amphibious landing and make your way inland to rendezvous with a contact from the Norwegian resistance (Milorg), who will provide details on the location of your primary targets: a German special airplane, and an anti-aircraft defense site. Your squad is tasked with infiltrating the airfield, assaulting the enemy, destroying all primary targets, and pursuing any secondary objectives, before exfiltrating to the extraction point back along the Norwegian coast.
FEATURES
- SP or COOPERATIVE play in the spirit of H&D2 and the Commandos series, loosely inspired by real raids conducted by the 29th Ranger Battalion (Wikipedia link), with the training and support of the British No. 4 Commando
- An engaging night op (with visibility sans NODs!) a nice balance of challenge and satisfaction, akin to the types of classic Arma 3 scenarios we all fondly remember, with a hint of those night stalking vibes from the Contact DLC!
- Hand-placed props transform a small air strip into a formidable German-held strongpoint, which reacts realistically to any detected threats!
- Multiple approaches to accomplishing your mission, and optional objectives for added challenges and unlockable support - including mortar and fighter plane support!
AUTHOR'S NOTES
- Guess I was just kidding about my previous release being my last for a while. I wanted to make use of some of the compositions I've had lying around for a while. Originally set in Tobruk, I ported the air strip to Northern Fronts and switched up the climate completely.
- This is a work of fiction, any resemblance to real people or events is purely coincidental. It was inspired by raids conducted by the American 29th Ranger Battalion between February and April of 1943. Volunteers from the 29th Infantry Division, these men trained with the British Commandos, mostly No. 4 Commando, and participated in raids on German installations in Norway before being disbanded in October of 1943. The techniques pioneered by these brave soldiers continue to inform the tactics of special operations units across the globe. This mission takes place later in 1943 than it might actually have happened, solely because of the restrictive lighting of the game engine at night. Additionally, the scale of this raid is reduced to remain friendly to your CPU.
- This is a beta release, some bugs may exist. Also, it's Arma, so there are bound to be things that will affect your playthrough.
- The add-on list may be long, but I assure you they are worth it!
- Warning: this scenario contains some imagery that is historically-accurate to the period being portrayed. By no means does the inclusion or representation of imagery from this period reflect or represent the views of the author.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2364019577
Lead your men to victory and take part in the liberation of France as an American OSS (Office of Strategic Services) operative during the legendary Operation Jedburgh. After months of training and preparation, your Jed Team made the drop into France the night of the D-Day invasion, establishing contact with local Maquis resistance in Orglandes, providing training, arranging supply drops, and serving as a vital link to SFHQ in London. Today, all that will be put to the test as we move to prepare the region for the rapidly advancing Allied 8th Army.
FEATURES
- A story-driven SP mission based on the real Operation Jedburgh (Wikipedia link[en.wikipedia.org]), offering the immersion of a campaign in a single three-chapter scenario!
- Play across a huge swath of the excellent Orglandes terrain, with thousands of hand-placed set pieces, including a unique Milice station, Panzergruppe encampment, and a completely re-worked "battle-scarred" town of Orglandes!
- NEW! Dynamically-spawned units optimized for performance, an improvement requested by players of my previous missions, ensuring a populated battlefield that is more CPU-friendly!
- Detailed units with the right gear for the theater, including the American O.S.S., British and French SAS, French Maquis/F.F.I. and Communist F.T.P., Vichy Milice, and German 352nd Division, 17th SS Panzergrenadiers, 5th Fallschirmjager, and more!
- Mission tasks are based on the real tactics of the OSS and the Simple Sabotage Field Manual, including ambush, sabotage, and rescue, with multiple approaches to accomplishing your mission, and optional objectives for added challenges and unlockable support!
AUTHOR'S NOTES
- I've been working on a mission based on Op Jedburgh for a while, originally set in the Crossroads: Bocage terrain, but decided to start over with a completely different narrative. This is the result, hope you enjoy what might be my last release for some time.
- This is a work of fiction, any resemblance to real people or events is purely coincidental. It was inspired by Robert Kohoe's account of his experience on Jed Team Frederick, as well as Operation Jedburgh: D-Day and America's First Shadow War by Colin Beavan. I referenced the War Report of the OSS, the Special Operations and Secret Intelligence Field Guides, Simple Sabotage, and other declassified documents.
- This is a beta release, some bugs may exist. Also, it's Arma, so there are bound to be things that will affect your playthrough.

Step into the boots of an American OSS (Office of Strategic Services) operative during the Tunisian Campaign of 1943. Experience combined arms fighting in WW2, as the British, American, and other Allied armies learned under fire how to work together on the battlefield. Your cover mission is to assist in the capture of an enemy-held village. Your true mission is to locate and secure a German secret weapon and kidnap a high-ranking enemy target. In order to complete your mission, you'll need to call on your skills in negotiation, reconnaissance, marksmanship, intuition, sabotage, and survival.
FEATURES:
* A story-driven SP mission offering 1-2 hours of playtime, in the spirit of the Medal of Honor series!
* Thousands of hand-placed set pieces, including a massive US Army command post, fortified hilltops, and more!
* Detailed units with the right gear and insignia for the theater, including the 9th Infantry Division, 5th Panzer Army, and 28th Maori Battalion!
* Optional objectives, multiple approaches to accomplishing your mission, hidden dialog and unlocks!
AUTHOR'S NOTES:
* This mission is the first to be released of a few SP scenarios I created, inspired by the exploits of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during WWII.
* This is a work of fiction, any resemblance to real people or events is purely coincidental. I take quite a few liberties with what units would realistically have been in the same battlespace (eg. the Maori Bn was nowhere near the Americans). I referenced the War Report of the OSS, the Special Operations and Secret Intelligence Field Guides, and other declassified documents.
* This is a beta release, some bugs may exist. Also, it's Arma, so there are bound to be things that will affect your playthrough.
* The add-on list may be long, but I assure you they are worth it!
* Warning: this scenario contains some imagery that is historically-accurate to the period being portrayed. By no means does the inclusion or representation of imagery from this period reflect or represent the views of the author.
