@PatPgtips Hey thanks very much for taking the time to reply. I see that you have to edit the pbo for these settings to stick on restart right ? Is there a way to tone down the AI ? I have set them to cadet so that should be the way to go right ?

Loving this mission and been a few years since I have played. Not sure how to make wartorn "stick" though restarts though. It says look in the readme.txt but can see nothing ?

First of all. Best every AI map. Period ! I do have a minor problem though. I hope someone can help me here, it's a bit of an odd one. For some reason server membership will not turn on. Is this saved in the vars file ? I have tried starting the server and toggling it from off to on with no effect. Edit: I have just noticed that is says if I have a session with it disabled it will stay disabled. Is there anyway to turn it back on ?

Hey all, Can someone please share the information on how to remove the stock campaign missions from the vote menu ? I assume I can just delete them from the \Addons directory but that will mean that I have to eliminate them every update ... correct ? Is there a better way to get rid of them and still allow players to vote for the maps ?

Really stuck here. I have no idea what I am doing. All I am trying to do is pass the player who is using the script back to the server and output the result to systemchat. Here is what I have got. init.sqf "packet" addPublicVariableEventHandler { _playerUID = _this select 1; systemChat format["Player Server %1", _playerUID]; }; _myaction = player addAction ["Call Hint", "addaction.sqf"]; addaction.sqf packet = [player, getPlayerUID player]; publicVariableServer "packet"; systemChat format["Player Client %1",packet]; I was expecting that when the eventhandler was triggered it would spit out the playerUID. But ... computer says no.

I have 2 copies of A3 Supporters edition but can't install apex. The checkbox in DLC is ticked. (Arma3 Propertys/DLC) But state is showing "Not installed" ??

Thank you ! Question though. How did you find these ? LocationArea_F SideBLUFOR_F etc.

Would love to see this answered too.

Normally when I code I start a dedicated server and run on that with -showerrors on the startup line. Is there a way to show errors in the editor for scripts you call ? Say in init.sqf for example ?

I am trying to see if an object exists and return true if it does not. Once I have blown up the turbine it should return true. Here is what I have ... The position is an array. _result = { isNull nearestObject [_position, "Land_wpp_Turbine_V1_F"];}; This should return true if there is no Land_wpp_Turbine_V1_F within 50m of the position correct ?

Yup... tried without the height position. Still the same. The radius was in the first example. _array = nearestObjects [[9935.46,7890.57,122.289], ["Land_wpp_Turbine_V1_F"], 50]; Your interest is appreciated ! More testing. It's probably something really simple !! ---------- Post added at 04:55 ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 ---------- I am an idiot. Wrong classname. Land_wpp_Turbine_V2_F is the NON camo version NOT V1..... Going blind.

Thank you for replying and for the tips. Particularly I understand the need to not put it in a waituntil but it should still work right ? Even if it is a waste of cpu/engine power ? The example you gave not work though. I am just tying this in the editor with only that code so it's not a sleep issue. The position is accurate (Altis) because I just tried this. _markerstr = createMarker ["Wind Turbine",[9935.46,7890.57]]; _markerstr setMarkerShape "ICON"; _markerstr setMarkerType "mil_end_noShadow"; waitUntil { _array = nearestObjects [[9935.46,7890.57,122.289], ["Land_wpp_Turbine_V1_F"], 50]; if (count _array == 0) then { hint "array is empty" }; }; hint "Destroyed." It is returning "array is empty" which indicates that this particular turbine is not in the array. FYI there are 2 types of turbine classes .. this is the "non" camo variant (ie: correct class) .. so I am a little puzzled. Looking in the editor the height is 122m so that is correct too. edit: I just tried this. _array = nearestObjects [player, [], 50] It did not return empty. Perhaps it's the class ? Strange.

Thanks for looking at this KK.. much appreciated. I have now learnt about alive. ---------- Post added at 03:26 ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 ---------- I have put the detection line in a waitUntil to see if I can detect when the event occurs. Still can't get it to detect for some reason. Tried the following. _result = true; waitUntil { _result = (!alive nearestObject [[9935.46,7890.57,122.289], "Land_wpp_Turbine_V1_F"]); }; hint "Destroyed." thinking it might be scope. I tried. result = true; waitUntil { result = (!alive nearestObject [[9935.46,7890.57,122.289], "Land_wpp_Turbine_V1_F"]); }; hint "Destroyed." Make it simple. waitUntil { !alive nearestObject [[9935.46,7890.57,122.289], "Land_wpp_Turbine_V1_F"] }; hint "Destroyed." All show the hint. My code knowledge is limiting me and, I am still kind of stuck here unfortunately. I see on other threads that people use triggers. Is that the only way I can do it ?

Thanks for the update ! ... much appreciated.

I don't believe you have to. From the file.

Do you have -showerrors on in your connecting client ?

Thanks for the addon it's very nicely done ! Unfortunately since the 1.44 update this is now causing script errors.

There is no server key on armaholics. The link is there but you can't download it. Has someone got it ? I have given armaholics a prod.

Hi all, I am trying to exclude the repair kit from being picked up. This is the code. It complains there is a bracket missing but I can't see where. It worked fine before I added. case (_id "Repair Kit"): {}; #include "define.sqf" private ["_id", "_item", "_type", "_takeable"]; _id = _this; _item = _id call mf_inventory_get; _type = _item select OBJECT; _takeable = objNull; { private ["_objectPos", "_playerPos", "_lineOfSightBroken"]; // Check to see if the player can see the object with "lineIntersectsWith" _objectPos = visiblePositionASL _x; // Make the point of intersection a little higher to prevent any ground clipping issues _objectPos set [2, (_objectPos select 2) + 0.2]; _playerPos = eyePos player; _lineOfSightBroken = lineIntersects [_playerPos, _objectPos, player, _x]; switch (true) do { case (_lineOfSightBroken): {}; case (_id "Repair Kit"): {}; case (_id call mf_inventory_is_full): {}; case (_x getVariable ["mf_item_id", ""] != _id): {}; default {_takeable = _x}; }; } forEach (nearestObjects [player, [_type], MF_INVENTORY_TAKE_DISTANCE]); _takeable;

I am guessing not. But would like a definitive answer. Is it possible to add cargo to shipping containers ?

Thanks Das. I want to fill a container with vehicles though... not ammo ? Sorry for the confusion about the wrong forum. Oops.

Ahhh.... Yes I plan on doing it via scripting. So I would find the existing .p3d model and change that ? I am not making an addon I just want it to work in a normal mission ?

Thanks guys ... I am still slightly confused by your answers. @Das What is iirc ? and CE's ? @BadHabitz I have no idea what you mean ?

It's not my code .. but I am pretty sure it's a string. If it is a string and the capitalization is correct then it 'should' return true or false, correct ?

Thanks, I was not aware of isEqualTo.... what a great improvent. It did fix the bracket problem ! It still does not work though. the line. case (_id "Repair Kit"): {}; My understanding of the code is that that line should execute if the player is looking at a repair kit (this is the _id) then, because the code block is empty the return should be objNull and if its objNull the code that this function is passed to will not let me pickup the kit. The problem is .. I can still pickup the repair kit.
