fn_Quiksilver

if a full head of not-grey hair, and a good nights sleep, sound like nice things to you, then yea dont. a different story if we could edit the underlying code, but when the studio refuses to fix even basic bugs or spend a few days taking care of the critical issues, then i would call it being a sucker, to attempt to layer a fix ontop of a broken foundation that we’re not allowed to touch.

Updated to 1.0.8 "Hotfix 3" Addressing bugs, issues and smoothing out rough edges - [ADDED] Medical drone boxes & Medical drones now revive incapacitated players if within 5m (consumes the box/drone). - [ADDED] Documentation for creating base speed-limited areas and base vehicle-restricted area. - [TWEAKED] Friendly respawning UAVs can now be placed in 3D Editor. - [TWEAKED] Overhaul of friendly UAV operator script. - [TWEAKED] Attempt to reduce chance of enemy CAS nose-diving after spawn. - [TWEAKED] AI building usage will check to see if structure is hidden/invisible before trying to use it. - [TWEAKED] Desert mortar pit composition. - [TWEAKED] Some enemy at Escort Vehicle side mission now have AA shoulder launchers. - [TWEAKED] Should be at least 1-2 vehicles in AO even if AO doesnt have enough road segments (Classic & Sector Control). - [TWEAKED] New AI vehicle selection logic enabled for Sector Control mode. - [FIXED] Group Management system was not updating changes properly. - [FIXED] Pilot would sometimes teleport to ocean when ejecting from plane. - [FIXED] Incapacitation overlay would stay on screen after death. - [FIXED] Decorative submarine had incorrect "featureType". - [FIXED] Crew HUD missing icons. - [FIXED] Medical UAVs can add respawn tickets to FOB. - [FIXED] GPS jammer task icon would not clean up if Jammer was deleted instead of destroyed. - [FIXED] Text error in admin/curator "cycle mission" option. - [FIXED] Small error in AI recycler. - [FIXED] Hidden a partially submerged terrain structure on Malden. - [FIXED] UGV Stompers (unarmed) now correctly spawn with Stretchers & logistics system even when created with Zeus. - [FIXED] Falcon UAV drone would sometimes spawn damaged and partially tipped over on Aircraft Carrier.

i dont know, its just how ive always done it ... put the person on the ground, setcaptive true, and then false once they're back up setcaptive just adds them to "sideFriendly" which is friendly to all factions setUnconscious should do that automatically (no need for setCaptive) unless they changed something ... in that case im happy i didnt bother to remove the setcaptive stuff

did incapacitated units lose their "setcaptive" state? also what revive/incapacitation system? I still execute "setCaptive", no troubles here. I think the ACE3 team moved over to using "setUnitTrait ["camouflageCoef",..." instead of setcaptive.

Partially submerged building on Malden gives AI a hard time located here

Non-TI variants wouldnt make much sense, as the helmet model has IR and thermal imaging lenses all over it. I agree the helmet is OP, but the solution is to remove it from the scenario.

Just a note regarding the artillery commands. The magazine/muzzle string is case-sensitive, must match exactly the string that is in config.

There is no built in teleport,sorry. There should be a few good scripts/mods out there for it that you could add with a flagpole or something

Already accidentally unloaded as incapacitated 3 times now in just a few minutes. This was expected, and reported 3 times over the past 9 weeks, to bury the "Unload Incapacitated" option on the scroll wheel to lower priority than the default actions. Its a 2 minute fix to change the priority number to a negative number. 1. Inactive 2. Incompentent 3. Indolent which one?

Welcome back Xeno! you inspired many over the years and its great to see you around

Updated to 1.0.8 Hotfix Addressing Tanks DLC game & mode-related bugs - [ADDED] Documentation file for Arsenal + Gear Restrictions. - [TWEAKED] Arsenal system. - [TWEAKED] Gear Restrictions system. - [TWEAKED] 3D HUD icons better integration with Teams + Commanding. - [TWEAKED] 2D map font reverted from TahomaB to RobotoCondensed - [TWEAKED] Enemy less likely to spawn T140K at low server population. - [TWEAKED] Removed AT Offroad from easter egg vehicle spawning, as it was spawning underground (BIS has not configured it for simple object yet). - [TWEAKED] Datalink system. (Nyx Recon should be more effective). - [TWEAKED] Ambient hostility tweaks. - [TWEAKED] AA Battery hulls made slightly less durable. - [TWEAKED] Min FPS threshold to ambient hostility module. - [TWEAKED] Ambient Hostility enabled only when Mission type is "Sector Control" or "Classic". - [TWEAKED] Sector control sites are spawning too close to map structures. - [FIXED] Recycled AI were invincible. - [FIXED] Ambient hostility should avoid some areas (base, fob, AO, side mission). - [FIXED] Some vehicle-related user interactions were not working (arma game change). - [FIXED] Removed debug line from reinforcement vehicle spawn script. - [FIXED] Commander could give orders to unrecruited recruitable AI at base. - [FIXED] Small internal bug with AI recycler. - [FIXED] Incorrect failure message in Kavala mission. - [FIXED] small AI-related Script error. - [FIXED] Player killed while in ambulance causes medical revive glitches. - [FIXED] Vehicle Service & slat armor can be applied from any distance. - [FIXED] Commander could control drones owned by UAV operator. - [FIXED] Enemy indirect fire (mortars,arty) was adversely affected by Dynamic Simulation system.

with no speed increase its just not worth it, ill stick with select

a method i like to use is not to delete entire groups, but to trim them, so perhaps they have 5-6 units instead of 8. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/allPlayers heres an example: default number of units trimmed number of units and a block of code to achieve something like that could look like this: // init.sqf if (isServer) then { _maxplayers = 10; _playerCount = count allPlayers; _multiplier = _playerCount / _maxplayers; // example: _multiplier = 4 / 10; private _grp = grpnull; private _grpcount = -1; private _newcount = -1; { if ((side _x) in [EAST]) then { _grp = _x; _grpcount = count (units _grp); _newcount = round (_grpcount * _multiplier); while {((count (units _grp)) > _newcount)} do { deleteVehicle ((units _grp) select ((count (units _grp)) - 1)); }; }; } forEach allGroups; };

just re #6, no unit/player is ever without a group in arma. just means they are 'SQ Leader' of their own group.

why report this now, why not 6 weeks ago?

New assets still do not have simple object configurations. spawning as simple object = muzzle flash, bis clan tag, and spawning with incorrect Z-axis offset, and (in case of offroad AT), default offroad camo

Preparing a hotfix for the weekend to address patch-related issues

#meToo

There is a bug causing invincible AI, in version 1.0.7 Im unable to edit (out of town), to self-fix: 1. locate the file “code\functions\fn_spawnGroup.sqf” 2. locate the line “_unit enableSimulationGlobal true;” 3. insert a line below it: ”_unit allowDamage true;”

_static = createVehicle ['B_HMG_01_high_F',[0,0,0],[],0,'NONE']; _static setDir (getDir player); _static setPosASL (player modelToWorldWorld [0,1,0]); manipulate the [X,Y,Z] numbers [0,1,0] to get an idea of how it works

modeltoworld [0,1,0]

can further simplify the code: ((crew _gun) isequalto [])

remember we’re talking about a patch coming in a few days. sorting the Unload Incapacitated action to lower priority is a 2-minute task and should be feasible, if Devs are around

Unload Incapacitated is still sorting to the top of the Action Menu. Please bury it down the bottom with low priority, it shouldn't be up at the top for accidental pressing.
