It's kind of stupid to have the gun smoothly move back to the original position after firing 20 shots full auto imo. I do however think it's kind of a strong kick from the 6.5mm gun. It's almost as if the soldier you're playing as has no ability to hold the gun down whatsoever but I like that because it makes it so you can't just sit there firing full auto and have to make an effort to control your fire as you would in real life.

My first mission (Only about 1/3 the way done) video of a WIP

Thank you very much. I've ready only a little of this and I'm already understanding it a lot better. -

Yeah those are the tutorials I've used to learn all the tools and stuff, but I find it's very hard to learn scripting off his tutorials as he really doesn't have any on scripting. I'm very new to coding so I've got almost no experience with it. I've got to figure out arrays fully before I can really move on and be more creative. I also need to figure out how in the hell people make a script to respawn vehicles for example. Not that I want a script for it, but I see this guy on Armaholic who made one, and it has a custom array with custom variables etc. I reckon that's probably all rather advanced scripting but I learn pretty quickly so I think within a month (I've dedicated lots of time already to learning syntax etc.) I should be able to do some more complicated stuff. Nothing on the level of Domination or anything though. Any recommendations for learning arrays better, and variables etc? I've tried Murreys (I think that's the name of it), but it doesn't really explain what the array means in the code or anything. And doesn't give examples in more complex scripts which bind together the If-then statements, or the for statements etc. If you would like a test version when I put it up on Armaholic just PM me on the forums and I'll reply with the link. If you do play it, I'd recommend doing it with friends as bots can be frustrating, however, send me your feedback and any issues you find with it. Thanks for the help man, may I ask what saving=0 does? Also, if you're interested in testing the mission (I plan to put a test version of it which will end rather abruptly up on Armaholic soon) shoot me a PM, it's Co-op so if you want you can play it with your mates, there's 6 player slots in total (5 infantrymen, 1 transport pilot, but I may remove the transport pilot, not sure yet). If you do play it, I'd recommend doing it with friends as bots can be frustrating, however, send me your feedback and any issues you find with it. -

Sorry about the quality guys, I wasn't able to render in 720p or 1080p this time. Here's the mission, it's my first mission, and it's only about 1/3rd the way done. How does it look? -
Reserved Variable in expression? Noob at scripting
TheBoat replied to TheBoat's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Can you explain this particular bit of script please? I understand the _chopper, but am not sure what that specifically does, and I understand createVehicle ["B_AH9_F", getMarkerPos "Helispawn", - but after that I'm blanked. What does the , [], 0, "NONE"]; mean to the computer that's running the scripts? -

This ^. And there's no indication as to why they wouldn't roll out a stable version next week, so it's pretty likely. -
Reserved Variable in expression? Noob at scripting
TheBoat posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hey guys, I'm new to scripting and today I wanted to test myself by making a simple script that spawns a littlebird (AH9 version) when I walked into a trigger. Here's the scripts code spawn= getMarkerPos helispawn; createVehicle [b_AH9_F, helispawn]; When I was making it I looked up some of the commands such as getMarkerPos but "helispawn" is the name of the marker I want the helicopter to spawn at. Now, this is the init code on the trigger that goes off upon activation, but the problem is, I cannot even input it because it says "reserved variable in expression". So the first thing I want to know is, will this script work, and the second thing is, what's causing the reserved variable in expression when trying to type this into the "on act" field in my trigger? -
Thanks for providing that link. So excited now haha :). Thanks bud.

Wait so the "BIS_fnc...." hack is fixed and the patch is being rolled out next week? Do you mind if I ask you how you know this or ask you to site your sources for this info?

First, for the people who've seen this in the other thread, I'm sorry. I meant to make my own topic, but I accidently posted it in that thread. Anyways, lets continue. Okay guys, so I was talking with some server admins, and they said that the attacks are infectious and infect your client so that every server you join after that you infect. He's not hopping from server to server, you are, and it's coming with you. So to stop it, completely shut down your game everytime you jump into a server with it, then when you relaunch it just join a different server and hope it's not infected. Also, before leaving, alert everybody in the lobby they must completely restart their game if they want it to stop happening to them. To whoever started this sh*t - Those files probably have a perfectly valid reason, presumably it's so that when a hacker joins a server, and changes everybodies gear to a certain set of gear, they can kill all players and reset everybodies gear quickly. Now you abusing it does nothing. I understand you want that BIS sh*t gone, but why don't you come here and make a thread yourself rather than taking more time than you need to make a script that does your work for you? Not only that, but you could be ruining a hell of a lot of first impressions of this game, effectively killing the chances of community growth on a game you obviously love so dearly that you resort to doing this to fix something. You're not going about it the right way... Not at all are you going about it the right way. back to the people who actually matter - This is how you can slow it down guys, it won't be instantly, but if everybody knows this information, it will probably help to slow it down so that only the person who started it can do it. Sure there'll be other people who will be like "LOL KOOL BRUH THIS IS AWSUM LETS GO TRAWLLL LAWLAWLAWLAWL" but just ignore them... Good day. Also, Bohemia can you try and fix this ASAP please? -

To stop it all you have to do is everytime it happens, just completely restart your game. It infects your client so that you spread it to every server you join after that.
