Is there a way to create map markers that are only visible to a specific faction? The map marker functions do not seem to have any parameters to specify the faction or unit to show the marker to. I remember in game that markers would show up for others depending on what chat channel you are on (side,command,vehicle,global,etc...), is there a way to replicate this behavior via sqf?

I am writing a prisoner rescue mission and have a problem where my disarmed prisoner (player) can still use ACE's knockdown. I need a way to either disable ACE's knockdown for a specific player and be able to enable it again, or somehow detect a knockdown event and punish the player somehow. Right now my prisoner can knockdown guards without consequence which is kind of problematic.

Does anybody know what version of the linux server will work with the current up to date stable client?

Segmentation fault So I am just trying to get a basic server running and add stuff to it from there, but I can't seem to even get the bare bones server up. I am doing all this as root to avoid permission problems, once I have it working I would like to run this as a non-root user.

So for some reason when I try to put down buildings as commander, they show up as completely green models but when I left click to place them nothing shows up. I.e. the building is not placed but the money is subtracted, am I doing something wrong?

I have an object class that extends Notebook, what property of this class affects the fact that it sits in the inventory in the slots that hold things like earplugs for ACE. My problem is that it seems that this item is unique and I can have more than 1 of it in my inventory at a time. Is there a property I can add or remove from this class so that I can carry more than 1 of it in my inventory?

The OP is right, the server browsers for this game are horrible. The six updater is the best one by far in my opinion, but it has a horrible UI, designed by a programmer so no surprise there. I am convinced if it was easier to install mods and join servers this game would thrive so much more, there is a lot of lost potential here.

It's a shame that BI is taking this stance. Especially since they claim linux support for the game. At least give us some transparency so we can make proper decisions. I just wasted a few days of my time trying to setup a linux server with the stable and alpha releases without success.

Is it currently impossible to setup a linux server that supports an up to date client? I am in the process of setting one up right now, am I wasting my time?

I don't understand why a windows dedicated server would take priority over a linux one to be honest. It is without a shadow of a doubt the far superior server environment as far as bang for your buck goes. As previous posters have mentioned, it does more with less. I guess it all depends on what market BI is trying to woo. If they want to take a bigger bite out of BF3's market (disclaimer:I am an ex-BF3 player) they cannot afford to ignore the things that loyal fans really want.

Specifically, how do you publish your addon to the six-updater so that people can just add your addon to their presets and download and use it automagically?

Thanks for the answers gentlemen.

I am working on a system to buy weapons as well currently, the DM Real Tournament 2 mission looks interesting.

Hi, I am having a problem testing some return values. This is for a multiplayer mission, I am trying to test if a local variable is set via: _name = _this select 0 { if (isPlayer _x) then { _marker = _x getVariable _name; if (isNull _marker) then { _marker = createMarkerLocal..... } }; } foreach playableUnits; When I run this code with some diag_log statements to see what _marker actually is it shows up as <null> in the logs, but isNull does not evaluate to true somehow. Am I misunderstanding something here, does <null> not really mean null? Thank you.

isNil "_marker" seems to have been the answer, thanks for playing everyone.

Tested isNil as well and it does not work either.

MSO does something similar to this, if you want to dig through their code.

Thank you, this makes sense. ---------- Post added at 16:01 ---------- Previous post was at 14:23 ---------- Is there an event you can bind to so that when players that join the game after the local marker was created can also have the code run that creates the marker?

Hello, Today is my 3rd day of learning about sqf, and I am trying to understand how to extend an object. I want to extend the Land_Barrel_sand and basically make it transportable via ACE's cargo module. My config.cpp: class CfgVehicles { class Land_Barrel_sand; class Land_Barrel_transport : Land_Barrel_sand { ACE_canBeCargo = 1; }; }; I am trying to spawn the barrel via this line in my init.sqf: _barrel = "Land_Barrel_transport" createVehicle(getMarkerPos "barrel_spawn"); And here is the line that I see in the rpt file that is causing concern: Cannot create non-ai vehicle Land_Barrel_transport, Can someone educate me as to the error of my ways?

Where can one find this ALLINONE config, I was unable to google it on dev-heaven.

I think I am making a big mistake here. I am editing the mission via sqf scripts in the saved folder and that is where I had the config.cpp. But lightning just struck me and I realized that the config.cpp is meant for addons and belongs into the @addonname folder which then has to be loaded by the game first. Can I just create an @addon_name folder and place a config.cpp in it' date=' or does it have to be turned into a binary first? ---------- Post added at 11:43 ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 ---------- Thank you sir, I just learned something new. If I wanted to see all of the classes and their configurations would I have to decompile a config.bin somewhere?

I will do that, can a moderator delete this thread please? Thank you.

So if I understand this correctly, would I basically have to extend the object I want to load (if it is not loadable already) and add the ACE_canBeLoad, ACE_canBeCargo, etc... properties to the extended object? In this case a barrel filled with sand. Thank you.

Hi guys, I am fairly new to scripting in ArmA2, this is going to be one of my first real scripts. I am trying to figure out how to load an item, such as a barrel into a vehicle, kind of like MSO does it. In this specific instance I would like to be able to load a barrel into a truck, let the player transport it to a different area and be able to unload it again. I saw some posts that referenced addAction, but most of them seemed to delete the object as soon as the action is performed and not really track it anymore. Also, this mission I am building will require ACE, is there an ACE-specific way to doing this, ala ace interaction? Thank you.
