Help with this code
fn_Quiksilver replied to peacefull Nation's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
in deciding whether to offer help in a thread i usually look to see whether the person has spent at least a few hours trying to solve the issue themselves first, and not just using this place as a shortcut. -

what do you need to know? some of us are walking biki's :) -

i been working with waypoints and AI for years and never noticed. probably would be better to be consistent, but then i can imagine changing it causing some problems too ...
-
they are pretty cool, good for using on AI imo.

thanks!

cool, thanks team :) how did this issue get noticed? I first encountered the issue in early 2015, didnt think much of it and never reported it.

Using BIS' Sector UI
fn_Quiksilver replied to target_practice's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
it is not so simple no. i explored some options awhile ago and it is not something that is portable or easy to re-purpose. -
apologies for being snappy @h - , had had a stressful day ------------ @Grumpy Old Man professional development needs QA. there is no one looking out for AI development since 2012, these things will slip through the cracks. If you have submitted AI-related tickets to the feedback tracker you see 99% go unassigned, unreviewed, etc, even easy-to-resolve ones that would take 10 minutes to fix.

Tanks - tracked vehicles driving and handling
fn_Quiksilver replied to oukej's topic in ARMA 3 - DEVELOPMENT BRANCH
not really feasible to have machine learning in a sandbox game. machine learning is better with fixed variables like chess, pac-man, etc. and of course $$$ can help, billion dollar companies can do practical machine learning but we shouldnt expect that sort of thing from a small game studio. what we should expect though is basic AI procedures, such as effective convoy driving, AI infantry being able to use buildings effectively when in settlement areas, AI soldiers to walk along the side of the road instead of the middle ... stuff like this. but this is not the thread for that discussion :) -
"STOP" state no longer overwritten by doMove/commandMove/moveTo?

desk of arma AI programmer since 2011 -
you dont appreciate the condescending tone and i dont appreciate being corrected with false info ...

have you tested it or just glancing at the wiki? please dont "actually" someone until you have tested. repro for you // VR 0 spawn { comment "This helipad is close"; _helipad_1 = createVehicle ["Land_HelipadCircle_F",(player getRelPos [25,0]),[],0,"NONE"]; comment "This helipad is far"; _helipad_2 = createVehicle ["Land_HelipadSquare_F",(player getRelPos [75,0]),[],0,"NONE"]; comment "Helicopter spawns farther"; _heli = createVehicle ["B_Heli_Light_01_F",(player getRelPos [125,0]),[],0,"FLY"]; createVehicleCrew _heli; sleep 1; _heli land "LAND"; _heli landAt _helipad_1; }; chopper should land at circle pad, according to the command. let me know where it lands.

Another low-hanging fruit for a bored developer :) In response to some mission troubleshooting on the arma discord, the below will alleviate issues like this: https://feedback.bistudio.com/T126935 thank you

Armaholic, how did this pass under your radar?
fn_Quiksilver replied to haleks's topic in ARMA 3 - GENERAL
ostracizing works, no need to start slinging around bans. Steam Workshop and Armaholic also don't need to be hosting it, it is their platform. I would ask the mission maker whether he's learned his lesson from the response here. Likely he has and we can all go back to whatever we were doing before. -

Dynamic Simulation Feedback
fn_Quiksilver replied to warkonaut's topic in ARMA 3 - DEVELOPMENT BRANCH
here is a situation where it comes in useful. clients are all at one mission (georgetown), so AI at the other mission (east of base) are disabled. There are other ways to do this (virtualization like ALiVE), but DynSim disables these CPU calculations reasonably effectively.
