And after a little light reading, it seems that I will need to find a tangent at each chosen point, which will be perpendicular to the correct azimuth of the relative wall section. Enough for one night.

Tried it the way you are doing it, vehicle this fire "Bomb_Leaflets"; works fine, no parentheses required.

Oh, I missed that. thislist select 0 fire "Bomb_Leaflets"; hint "leaflets should have dropped..."; "This" isn't passed to OnAct, so it is meaningless. "Vehicle this" as well. *edit* - And I should probably go to sleep. I'm talking about triggers, you are using the waypoint as an activator.

It's counter-intuitive, but use addMagazine before addWeapon as shown in the wiki page you linked: myDrone addMagazine "1Rnd_Leaflets_West_F"; myDrone addWeapon "Bomb_Leaflets"; This is a general rule, not leaflet-specific.

This is definitely strange. I was able to get turrets to do exactly this back in A2, but now in A3 I can't seem to get setFormDir to work with turrets at all.

Just to clarify, you are saying that when the gunner fires a weapon, it changes the countermeasure mode?

I wouldn't be surprised if ACE or RHS were breaking the module somehow. It works fine in vanilla*, so you should determine which mod is the culprit then file a ticket with the appropriate mod team. *virtual supports will only fire on the point you were targeting when you made the call, you can't update target pos while rounds are in the air *EDIT* ACE definitely breaks this. Not sure if they have a workaround or specific ACE function to replace it. ACE has always been marginally compatible with AI.

Arma allows you to do those things, and lots more. Therein lies the problem for most new players - Arma is a sandbox, not a title with clearly defined built-in game modes. Is there a certain type of gameplay that you're interested in? Something you've seen on YouTube/Twitch/etc.?

Heck, who wouldn't want to fly to Norway and play Arma and bbq some animals and shoot guns and drink beer? Looks like a great group.

It can be found under Things (CUP) > Electronics as "TV Studio"

Providing an example of one of your missions would expedite the troubleshooting process.

Maybe I'm misreading you, but the Wildlands map is actually quite large. The frame is apparently 24km x 24km, with the playable area at about 20km x 20km. It's a beautiful terrain with boatloads of detail, too bad the gameplay doesn't measure up.

As far as Arma 3's controls are concerned, Push To Talk and Voice Over Net are essentially the same thing in that they both activate whichever voice channel you have selected (GROUP/SIDE/DIRECT/etc.) The difference: PTT is a momentary command (push key to talk, then release when finished talking) VON is is a latching/toggle command (push and release key to talk, push and release again when finished talking)

Blue Waffle Attack Force, the name/owner of the server, "@bwaf" being the name of a mod pack you need to load in order to join. What the mod pack contains or where you can find it appears to be some sort of secret, as I can't find it on the BWAF site, Steam, or anywhere else. You probably need to join their Discord.

It's written for Arma 2. As such, there are things about it that preclude it from executing within Arma 3 in a meaningful way. "Unknowncheats" isn't a great place to source well-written code.

/facepalm I grabbed both snippets then pasted the incorrect one. I'll see myself out...

Pierremgi edited his post to remove the server check from his code. *bad info redacted*

"Vanilla" means no mods, period. Scripts in your mission file are irrelevant. ARES is only required by the server and any players who have access to ZEUS. The same must also run CBA. Enhanced Movement is client-only, so it does not need to run on the server. With that out of the way... Signature verification is how a server admin controls what mods a client may/must use on the server. If you aren't verifying signatures, anyone can join your server with any mod loaded, including mods they have specifically created for the purpose of cheating/causing general mayhem. A public, non-passworded, non-BE server that doesn't verify signatures is a scriptkiddie's wet dream. You should read up on server.cfg. Follow all of the relevant links on that page, particularly anything related to server security. Of course, read up on Addon Signatures as well.

Not quite sure what you are getting at with "maintain compatibility" and "...if they use mods..."? Are you not verifying v2 signatures? That's an open invitation for anyone to do anything they want on your server, BattlEye or not.

That "service" is you hosting a local/listen server on your client PC. The environment is different than that of a dedicated server. A dedicated server is a completely separate PC box (or at the least a separate process running on your client PC). The server, be it your local/listen server or a dedicated server, is always the source of the mission file. Steam is simply a hub through which clients can find servers. Steam is not hosting anything in either case.

You can upload mission files/campaigns/mods to the Steam Workshop, but I'm not aware of any free Arma 3 game servers available anywhere. If you want a server for you and your friends (or anyone else) to join and play on, you can either host a local/listen server via the Arma 3 launcher or in-game multiplayer server browser, or you can rent a dedicated server from any of the many game server services out there*. I have a feeling that the former is what you are actually referring to. *You can, of course, also keep a dedicated server box of your own or host a dedicated server from the same box you run your client on, though this will obviously be extremely demanding of your PC if you have many other clients connecting. You will also want to ensure your internet service will be able to support the traffic. Keep in mind that not all missions are designed to run in all environments.

I think you are confusing local host/listen server to some sort of service BI is(n't) providing.

I should also thank you for waking me up to params. So much easier!

Yeah, it just seemed out of place/unnecessary. Wasn't sure if it would actually cause a problem.
