Anyone know if there is a crying animation? I've been searching through the anim viewer, but there is so much to look through, and I have yet to find it. I decided if anyone knew, I would save myself the time and come to them first. Anyone?

Wana explain instead of just claiming I am missing something?

Ah, I didnt know they've done it that many times... makes me wonder now.... :)

While that is true, I am not going to assume they will release it on PC... given their comments about it: Apparently they dont see PC as an appropriate business opportunity. I could be wrong, and they might be doing this as a shock factor... but due to my pessimistic nature, I will assume it's console only, but I would LOVE to be wrong! ;)

Wait, am I missing something? Why did we come out of the gate hating this? I totally understand there is a lack of information, or really anything to show for it in general, but are we all really jumping on the hate ship and setting sail so soon? I feel like I missed something, and if so, please let me know... otherwise, that was a little harsh. A lot of successful game companies started with a modding background... no reason to discount this yet, right?

So sad there is no PC version (yet?)..... SO SAD.

Hey guys- Recently I was turned on to this game called "Insurgency." Some of you might have heard about it from it's old mod state, but this is the actual game they made around it, and my God is it awesome. The best way I can describe it is a faster paced ArmA. It's like ArmA without the pre-firefight tactics. But once you are in a game... oh man, if you dont have tactics and teamwork, you're screwed. Which is prolly one of the coolest things about it for me. It goes against every modern days FPS "feature." Instead of taking 1/2 a mag to kill 1 guy, it takes 1 - 4 bullets, following all basic human anatomy. Ex - 1 to the head, 1 - 2 center mass, and 3 - 4 below the belt. Not to mention, I've seen a lot of requests for this on this forum for ArmA... and this game has it... that feature is... 3D SCOPES! That's right, Red Orchestra style scopes! :D Oh yeah - They already released the SDK, so all you modders and map makers can get to work! :) Oh yeah x2 - It's on Steam now. http://store.steampowered.com/app/222880/?snr=1_7_15__13 I'm just gonna post the trailer now... I have expressed my opinion, and could go on for days about it... but I recommend it to everyone who wants an FPS focused on REALISM.

Yup, I am 100% sure of that. :)

Ah, sorry, didn't see the other post, though I will mirror this video that I found on that post, as it has an interview with the developer who explains a lot of the new features (from the mod) without a wall of text. Also, please note that this video is VERY old. The changes from this video are huge, so I will post a second video with a more up to date commentary as well for those of you who are interested, but want to know what it's like in its current state: Finally, the last link is a very recent interview with the developer (same one from TotalBiscut's interview) and it should give you the most recent information regarding the current state, and direction of the game: For those of you not wanting to trug through all that to find the answer to the question: "What are the differences from mod to game?" Here you go: "We got a little bit away from the "restrictive" nature of the game in the way the squad system works, which was a deliberate design choice. We've spent a lot of time improving weapon feedback, which we felt was "okay" at best with the mod in comparison to the game. We also focused a little bit more on cooperative vs. AI which is something that was never even touched with the mod. This was decided because we've seen a growing trend in multiplayer games towards cooperative and we want to be a part of that."

My newest Machinima was a doozy. Inspired by the recent N. Korean "conflicts"

Need: As many voice actors who want to break into ArmA videos as I can get. I am not looking for a specific amount, just because I will CONSTANTLY be needing more or less. So pretty much, anyone who wants to work in ArmA videos. Not convinced? Here is what some of my final products in the past have looked like: Based on those samples, if you would like to voice act in many shorts, and a feature film later on, please get in contact with me via Skype at: "JetsMachinimas" Thanks for your interest!

Hey all! Jetliner here. Recently, I've created and posted two Machinimas on here, and gotten great feedback from them. If you have yet to see them, or need proof that this will be worth your time, check them out here: Now, it seems the only person I had helping me before is just flat out not helping anymore. Unfortunately, for the newest video, it requires some pretty advanced stuff, stuff AI cant do. So I call on you. Who would like to help with my current, and most likely future ArmA Machinimas!? You? GREAT! Please get in contact with me via Skype: "JetsMachinimas" (Made specifically for this reason) Add that user, and we will be in touch! Thanks all for your help, and I look forward to getting some awesome players! :D

Hey everyone- For 8 years, I have played OFP, ArmA, and ArmA 2, and I've never been disappointed once. However, I have never in my whole time playing been in a firefight that was truly considered a firefight. Tons of my engagements feel like short skirmishes. I have tried countless AI improvements, and still, one faction is able to finish off the other in less than 10 to 20mins. Maybe it's my shitty mission building, but I have recently really craved something new where I am fighting for a while. Not where I have pockets of time to advance on the enemy, and kill them. Time where both sides are considered pinned and in combat. You hear all these real stories about 1 - 12 hour firefights, and while I understand this is a game and we cant obviously make it 100% real, is there anyway to at least make my firefights more scary, and longer? I feel it really is just my crappy mission making, so what do you guys who have experienced do to make these firefights so amazing? Hopefully someone can answer me. ~Jet.

Anyone know if there are flag wrapped caskets in ArmA2, mod or default?

Yeah, I have that, and have been looking through it, but your suggestions gave me a whole new idea! :D Thanks a million!

Hey all- Not EXACTLY sure where this should be, but I think this is the closest. If this is wrong, please MOVE the topic to the right area. My question is, does anyone know how to make a realistic looking tackle scene? I dont know if there is a tackle animation, and I have yet to find it, but if there is, what is it? ORRR, is there something that looks like a tackle, and something that looks like the effects of a tackle? Pretty much, I need a tackle, and an handcuff scene for a new video. Possible? Or, how would you lovely people fake a tackle. It's gonna be recorded, so the film magic of camera placement can be worked with if the animations are "close enough." Thanks all!

Would the setvelocity make it a ragdoll?

"Pvt. Chris Gray" My second, (and prolly last) machinima for the week. These things take a lot of time and effort to make another one day after day. haha! Please enjoy!!

"Beast of America" Hope you guys like it. :)

Hey all- Just wanted to ask if this was possible, and if so, how? AI carrying a wounded solider on a stretcher to a helo. I doubt it's possible, so is it possible to get the AI to just stand there with the stretcher and the wounded solider on it? They dont have to be walking for this one. Finally, if neither of these are possible, can I place everything just exactly right using setPos and make it LOOK like they are holding it?

Hey guys- I am making a video, and I want to try to find the best looking US units with the most detail on their gear. Just want to know if anyone has any recommendations for the coolest looking units. They dont have the be Marine, Army, etc, just US based. :) Thanks for your help! ~Jet

Thanks both of you. Got it all working like a charm! :) I knew it had to do with conditions, but now I know you can do "This and" which is really nice. Anyway, thanks again.

This is most likely a very quick solution. How do I activate a certain trigger, only if Radio Alpha has been activated.

No, like. I activate radio alpha to spawn enemies, which will activate another trigger to check where all OpFor are gone. So I need Radio Alpha to activate the trigger that checks for OpFor, otherwise, it will automatically activate since they aren't spawned. It's kinda hard to explain but here is by best try. Trigger 1 is activated by Radio Alpha to spawn 10 OpFor. Trigger 1 also spawns trigger 2 which checks to see if all OpFor are dead. So I need a trigger, that triggers a trigger... ugh, this is hard. xD

...I dont even know if a solution has been found... but uh, here is your solution. groupName = [getMarkerPos "spawnPoint1", EAST, 1] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup; Here is how it works so that you can edit it to your liking: Things you can adjust, I have in red. groupName = [getMarkerPos "spawnPoint1", EAST, 1] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup; Here is what they mean: "spawnPoint1" is what ever the name of the marker is, where you want a unit to spawn. "EAST" is the faction they are. West = US Army, EAST = Russia, etc. "1" is the number that spawns on that marker. 1 = 1 unit. 10 = 10 units. They are dynamic, so they wont all be the same class either. Once you have it customized, throw it in the "OnAct" of a trigger, and when the trigger is activated, your group/unit will spawn on that marker you told them to. SOLVED. Enjoy. Now, if we aren't even on this subject anymore, I am sorry. There are so many walls of text I do not wish to read 4 pages worth of... so yeah.
