This is a simple script I've put together using an array containing markes. This script creates a suitcase randomly on one of the markers, but I doesn't work for now: _locs= ["infoloc1","infoloc2","infoloc3","infoloc4","infoloc5"]; // Random location script _suitcase= "Land_Suitcase_F" createVehicle getMarkerPos select floor(random count _locs); The error stated by -showScriptError is a missing ; between select and floor. Can someone help me on this one?

I'll try this one then. Didn't think about using functions, I always forget to make my life easier.

You put it in the initialization field of the unit for example. Select the guy you don't want to move and in the box named INITIALIZATION in the editor you write that.

Walkable vehicles would mean to me that a dream has just come true. I think that would require some intense scripting, but since ARMA III will certainly provide scripting community with better tools and function maybe someone will take care of this nice feature. There will be a lot of bugs to deal with and desync problems of course, but with a bit of time , work and luck all should be fixed I guess. Especially a moving and walkable C130 (or a generic transport plane) would be perfect as it would save from plenty of scripted stuff just to make a realistic HALO jump. Let's see what BIS and community will do in the future.

I have to confess I felt a little bit bad when I first learned that the setting of ARMA III would have been Greek islands... Then I saw how they rendered them and had a party in my pants of course. Still I would really like to see something like Cherno on ARMA III in the future. It would give me a great feeling but would also help immersion in my opinion. However the modding community probably isn't just sitting around drinking beer. Once they have all the tools they need I belive that we will see old and new maps beign released like hell.

Try adding in the .sqf eastGP execVM "nameofscript.sqf" If it does not work then give a try to {[_x] execVM "nameofscript.sqf";} forEach units eastGP

If you don't want to do what Messiah suggested, you can also select a unit, press CTRL and C together on your keyboard and then press CTRL and V. Doing this you will copy and paste a unit which will be automatically unsynched to the others. It helps but remember that it makes a perfect copy of the unit you selected first.

In the trigger on Act, put this: {deleteVehicle _x;}forEach crew heli;deleteVehicle heli; By doing this you will take care of the helicopter but first you will remove the crew.

Fine, however when you feel ready maybe you should test with the event handler also so you can compare. I suggest you that because with the respawn event handler you can also use this simple code to have the unit respawn with the same gear: _unit = _this select 0; _weapons = weapons _unit; _magazines = magazines _unit; waituntil {alive player}; _unit = player; removeallweapons _unit; {_unit addmagazine _x} foreach _magazines; {_unit addweapon _x} foreach _weapons;

Have you tried using a "respawned" event handler? It should be the smoothest way.

Yes, you're right about setTexture, but setObjectexture should work on units aswell. I remember there was a police script for Operation Arrowhead which was addon free and simply retextured PMC soldiers.

Not sure about this but if you make a .paa format retextured image of the soldier's UV map then you could use the setTexture command.

Hi, I'm making a MP mission where my main goal is to randomize several stuff. As part of that, there will be some villages occupied by Takistani guerrilas which will be friends or hostile towards the players' faction (West) at random. I already know how to randomize the thing. I do know how to make a whole faction hostile to another using the setFriend command or how to make a single soldier hostile by grouping him to an invisible enemy officer. But I'm out of ideas on how to achieve what I'm trying to make. My idea is to create a trigger on the village area and run the script for every guerrila present. But what could be a simple and generic way to make several guerrilas group hostile to West without making the whole faction hostile?

I'm out of ideas, maybe you have placed them on a peak or a mountain and they walk because of the inclination?

Hi all, basically I wanted to play a little bit around with arrays ( a part of scripting I just started to learn). I wrote this very simple code: _convoglio = ["mas_ita_veh_LR_cd","mas_ita_veh_LR_medv"]; _puntadilancia= _convoglio select 1; waitUntil {vialibera=true}; _puntadilancia getMarkerPos "asd"; if (!alive _puntadilancia) then { hint "Hanno distrutto il convoglio!"; }; "Convoglio" is Italian for convoy and "Puntadilancia" in the Italian militaries is the name given to the first vehicle in the convoy. However this code doesn't work: the problem, as stated by -showScriptErrors, is that there is a "missing ;" before "getMarkerPos". Something is certainly wrong in the syntax, but I still didn't figure out what. Thanks in advice for the help.

I'm feeling stupid, didn't notice that. Thanks!

I guess it took you centuries to make that, but it was worth it, it's a nice job, something I've never seen in ARMA so far :) Reminds me of Skyrim :) That could be used in a thousand of different ways...I'm thinking of Close Quarter Combat training but could be a nice feature of an infiltration mission. Excellent job!

Yup, but he wants all the guys in his maps, AI included, to have unlimited or almost unlimited reloads. Your code does the trick if we suppose that they all have the same weapon. Am I wrong?

You can, but as far as I know that would require you to delcare in the script which weapon you are talking about. Since you want unlimited ammos for everyone, you would need quite an advanced script I guess. This is a code I found on the forums using the Search function which gives unlimited reloads to the player: _ammo = createTrigger["EmptyDetector",getPos player]; _ammo setTriggerStatements["needReload player == 1", "reload player; player setVehicleAmmo 1", ""]; It might sound strange, but at present I don't have any idea on how setting this to work for everyone.

You can simply create a trigger which covers the whole area of operation. Set activation to anyone. The "All" in script language could be translated as follows: {_x addeventhandler ["fired", {(_this select 0) setvehicleammo 1}]} forEach thisList; .
