Her is the thread with my problem ! http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=179037

Are you getting any skript errors when you start it the first time ? Had the same problem with one of my scripts solution was just too wait for a function too get initialized Maybe this helps ! https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Functions_Library_(Arma_3)#Initialization_Order

Hey Deform I'm also very new too skripting but this should work without any isserver and such snippets. The hole FHQ TaskTracker is multiplayer an JIP ready so I think you don't have to worrie about that.

Hey Folks, i wrote a skript for a random patrol but now stuck on a expression that the game throws at me and i can't find my mistake :confused: the error if (((getPos leader _Pat)distance _posNew)< 35) then { if (_wait) then {> Error position: <_posNew)< 35) then { if (_wait) then {> Error Undefined variable in expression: _posnew File C:\Users\Sam.N.Raub\Documents\Arma 3\missions\JSP_JustSimplePatrol.Altis\JSP.sqf, line 212 Error in expression <; }; My problem is this error occurs just for the first run after i started arma 3 and run the skript the first time. The second time i run the skript the error is gone.For me it looks like i don't have defined the variable _posNew (is a array that have a position in it [x,y,z]) not right but i did it at the beginning of the skript. I hope someone can help. Im really at the beginning with scripting. When anybody see something that could be improved ... pleas gimmi a hint so i can learn somthing new.

The Task state must be set for every task on his one. For example you want to canceled a task and creat an new one on the run in the Mission you have too make a new one. ["Task1","canceled"] call FHQ_TT_setTaskState; sleep 4; //skript waits her so the notifications are not colliding // ------------------ CREAT A NEW TASK FOR WEST AND ASSIGNED IT ---------------------------- [ west, // Task for the west ["Task2", "Long description of the Task", "Name of the Task you see in the notification", "Waypoint Text", // Waypoint text getmarkerpos "Marker or Objekt Name", // Optional: Position or object in "" "assigned" // Optional: Initial state of the created Task ] ] call FHQ_TT_addTasks; So task1 is canceled and then task 2 is created and get assigned to the player. You can have this in a extra sqf and call it from a trigger or write it in the trigger "on activation" condition. What Varanon wrote works when you have defined the task in the briefing. But how i understand you, you don't want too see the task from the beginning in your task list. So you have too creat them on the run. Hope this helps ;)

Hey Tajin thx allot that fixes my prob. I thought the init.sqf would be faster then the init field of a unit. But hey new stuff learned - CHECK :D

Same problem her! Azroul stated he will fix this in the next update. A workaround for me was not to use "RANDOM" an let them start outside of the markerArea. But it could also happen when they reach any waypoint. So what too say - I love the skript but in this state its just broken ans useless. I search the code on my own but im a noob in skripting :confused: So we have to wait for azrouls fix ;)

For the land waypoint .... Maybe something like that ??? https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/landAt Just wild guessing !!!

setCaptive don't make you Friendly with other factions. When you are setCaptive true you are like not being on the map. For example a trigger that reacts on bluefor will not fire while you are a setCaptive ! But you can take damage when you get hit by a bullet or explosion. To enter good mode ;) unit1 allowDamage true; is the command you need. For the hint thing I can't help in not so far with the scripting knowledge ;)

Maybe this helps ? I think he can explain very well ;) http://killzonekid.com/arma-scripting-tutorials-basic-multiplayer-coding/ http://killzonekid.com/arma-scripting-tutorials-locality/

Thx azroul for the quick replay and your awesome work. Looking forward too this fix.

I think this skript is for Arma3 and your map (utes) is from Arma2. I don't think this skript works in Arma2 ! ---------- Post added at 21:56 ---------- Previous post was at 21:53 ---------- Nobody has the same problems with small markers ?

Hey I'm relatively new too this editing and have a noobisch question. I want a OR condition check in a waypoint. So I wrote this code line. ((Check1) OR (Check2)) My problem is it fires only If both checks are true ...... I don't get it. I thought this fires if one of thme are true ???

Ok then in the init! Thx again ! Sometimes it is complicated not losing track of all these init lines and triggers and units and and and ..... ;)

Haha thank you for that very quick replay - works ;) One more question - Is there any difference too do this in a game logic or in the init.sqf ?

Is there a minimum size for the area for the Patrol ? I have the problem that in a area with the size of 50x50 the group always get waypoints next to them. Walking 2 steps stop and getting next waypoint 2 steps away. Most of the time they just running around in one spot back an fourth. With a area greater 100x100 all works fine! Is this a known issue ??

No problem I have the work around ... And I know it's not me ;) Still love this tool !!!

Ok i could use setBehavior in the Units init. So it's not that important but i think with the Skript would be the nicer way

Hey im trying to use this skript for a mission but i don't get it ;) I want the patrol to be in the CARELESS mode at the start my init nul=[this,"area1","CARELESS"] execVM "scripts\upsmon.sqf"; but they start with aiming down the sight - im think in SAFE mode. The wiki is no help so ... what am i doing wrong ? Or is this a bug ?? Thx in advance for your help ;)

Haha i never set the respawnpoint. This is the default sport for it. Sorry will add this in the next update ;)

Hey, first of all thx for all the people who working on skripts addons and such stuff ! You are making Arma what it is. Operation Sweep Description: A COOP Mission for up to 4 Players. There are different tasks to accomplish like clear a spot or blow something up. The most Patrols are random and so every attempt is like a totally new Mission. I hope you will enjoy the playing like i enjoyed it to building this Mission. Features: COOP Gameplay for 4 Players Set Time of Day (Morning / Midday / Evening / Night) Randomness of the most Patrols in the Mission =BTC= Revive (Every Player can be revived 3 times. Firstaid Kit is needed) FHQ-TaskTracker UrbanPatrolSkript Installation: Extract the .pbo file to your ArmA3/MPMissions folder. Changelog: V1.40 =BTC= Revive V0.9 implemented – Needed update for the new Arma 3 Version Added the fancy ending from BIS V1.30 Added Parameter too the =BTC= Revive script so you can choose how many life’s you have. Added a new „Time of Day“ - Darknight – On some spots on the map I added Lights because ist sometimes f..... Dark ;) Fixed a bug who had drops a expression all the time. I’m getting better with this editor. v1.20 Added new Version of the =BTC= Revive Skript V 0.8 Changed the Patrol skript from UrbanPatrolSkript to SLP_Spawn Added a Overview Pic Little tweaks v1.10 All over better Performance Most Patrols are now Spawing while the mission and not in the beginning Changed some events Credits & Thanks: Thanks goes to my testers ;) And all Players they leave a Comment for me. It's my first mission so i need the Feedback !!!! DOWNLOAD V1.40 Download from Armaholic DOWNLOAD V1.50 File-Upload.net

He thanks for the Feedback. There are 2 units they begin fleeing when you attack the beach. If you kill them booth no alarm will trigger. So there is no area they have too leave to trigge the alarm. Maybe you haven't see them all ;) I hade once a ammobox inside the mission but I think it breaks the immersion of the game. I hate it when you start a mission and everybody standing 10 mins on the ammoboxes and searching for the equipment ;) so sorry I don't add this. I therefor added different units so you can choose a little bit. Also look in your inventory there is another aco !

I will Look into it !

Is steam loading something after you changed that option ?

Right Click arma 3 in your steam Library and there under properties you can Switch from dev Build to normal Build. My game was on dev build after changing that I got 0.56. Hope this helps
