Well, i've been working on a script that uses real US warning alarms for ArmA 3. The only problem is that I can't seem to get the "IncomingMissile" event handler to work at all. Im currently using "player addEventHandler ["IncomingMissile", {hint "blah"}];" in the mission's init.sqf. When the player is fired at by enemy AA RPG's nothing happens. Can someone please tell me what I have to do to get this event handler to work? :L

I've been having these issues before the last ArmA patch, so that's something else.

Could you please send your version to me also? I play with a group of ~60 people and it would be nice to be able to use these without sound issues.

Get in sound and bus engine are ear-rapingly loud. Civilian units/uniforms are completely broken and appear invisible or just crash arma.

Is anyone else having issues with the secondary movement mode, moving multiple objects at the same time, and rotating an object around a user-defined axis? For all 3 of these functions, I have issues where the object will move far away. If I try to move multiple objects, they scatter about a 1km away and spread out from each other in random directions. EDIT - seems to be an issue with certain objects that breaks the functions for all objects.

[sOLVED] Does ANYONE on this planet understand how to use "map drawLine [position1, position2, color]"? Looks simple right? Well it seems to be one of the biggest unsolved mysteries among the ArmA scripting community. >_< The closest thing I got to an actual working example was for VBS2: http://resources.bisimulations.com/wiki/drawLine I've had no success getting this command to work. Everywhere I've looked people are asking the same questions, but no real answers. Please, can someone explain to us once and for all how to use the drawLine command? [sOLVED] (findDisplay 12 displayCtrl 51) ctrlAddEventHandler ["Draw", " (_this select 0) drawLine [[0,0,0],getPos player,[0,0,1,1]]; " ];

_rank = rank player; [player,call { if (_rank == "PRIVATE") exitWith {"CfgUnitInsignia classname"}; if (_rank == "CORPORAL") exitWith {"CfgUnitInsignia classname"}; // ... etc }] BIS_fnc_setUnitInsignia

I would assume making the gunner turn out would be the best way of achieving this, although I don't know how to do so.

player enableSimulation false; This will freeze all animations on the player, although that may be a bit overkill for what you want to do.

I found a temporary fix. I didn't test it on the custom ship, but it works with regular objects. In "attachToWithMovement.sqf" find (ctrl+f) (line 53) _attachThis setVelocity [ _vel select 0, _vel select 1, (_vel select 2) + STICK ]; and replace it with: _attachThis setVelocity [ 0, 0, (_vel select 2) + STICK ]; This seems to prevent the player from sliding after moving.

Where can I find the list of marker names for ArmA 3, because when I try to use _marker1 = createMarker ["Marker1", position player]; _marker1 setMarkerShape "ICON"; "Marker1" setMarkerType "Dot"; it gets an cfgmarkers error. Can anyone help me out? :L

I already have a quickfix script if your interested. http://puu.sh/8wKNY.png http://puu.sh/8wKOz.png

You guys should really set the map size in the cfgWorlds class so certain scripts will be able to work. Also, I have a working fix for the street lights if you guys are interested. It automatically replaces the old ArmA 2 lamps with the ArmA 3 equivalents in an efficient manner. http://puu.sh/9r1y0/20fce76396.png http://puu.sh/9r1yq/48673bfc07.png

If you want 5 rounds in a magazine, then yes...

The addaction command is local to the client it runs on, meaning the script that adds the action to what you want has to be running on everyone's computer or they wont have it. http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addAction Either put the addAction code in init.sqf, or have your "exec.sqf" executed by a trigger/unit initialization field. ex: execVM "exec.sqf" You can then use the "condition" parameter of addAction to show/hide based on true/false.

If you want to save a single date, use a specific variable for it: timeStamp = date; sleep 1; hint str timeStamp; if you want to save multiple times and be able to add onto it, create an array: if (isNil "timeStamps") then { timeStamps = []; }; timeStamps set [count timeStamps,date]; sleep 1; hint format ["Timestamps: %1\nFirst timestamp: %2\nCurrent timestamp: %3",timeStamps,timeStamps select 0,timeStamps select (count timeStamps - 1)];

If you want it to be really simple: init.sqf: sleep random 1; if (isNil "traitor") then { traitor = player; hint "This is a message that is private to the traitor."; };

init.sqf: clientCode = nil; "clientCode" addPublicVariableEventHandler {call (_this select 1)}; trigger activation: clientCode = compile format ["hint '%1 has called for support'",player]; publicVariable "clientCode"; This was just off the top of my head (and will only work in multiplayer), so I can't confirm that 100%. This may help you if that doesn't work. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?172867-Simplest-to-broadcast-a-message-globally

Depending on how compatible 404 Wasteland was made, it should be able to use ACE weapons and vehicles without any editing. If anything, you would just have to add modules for ACE features.

The coords of Stratis and Altis in ArmA 3 actually make them in spitting distance of each other. Last time I checked you could fly East from Stratis for about 4 minutes and you would "be" in Altis technically. They won't connect the two maps because they would have to decrease the detail of the overall map due to the limitations currently in place. If anything they will have a campaign setup so that once you are close enough to the other map, it go through a loading screen and place you in the correct position on the other map. I've already managed to do this in ArmA 3 Beta.

The only way to can change config parameters is to make a mod/modify your game pbo's, which would mean your mission would no longer be compatible with the rest of the ArmA 3 community. You may be able to change some parameters if you create a description.ext in your mission folder, but last time I checked what you could do was very limited.

I don't seem to understand what the problem is, but you and the creator could add me on steam and talk to me about it. http://steamcommunity.com/id/luftwaffle4/

If you want it to only tow cars: while {alive car1} do { if ((car1 distance _vehicle) < 5) then { if (_vehicle isKindOf "Car") then { _vehicle attachTo [car1,[0,-1,2]]; removeAction 11; hint "car attached"; }; }; };
