Another way of doing it (but would recommend the above method for a small list of objects). This method is best with scripts to return a list of objects in a trigger _trigger = someTrigger; _allObjects = [list of objects]; _objectsInTrigger = []; { if ([_trigger,_x] call BIS_fnc_inTrigger) then { _objectsInTrigger pushBack _x; }; } forEach _allObjects; // return _objectsInTrigger; (Un-tested) Hope this is helpful

I'm currently trying to get my head around a problem in the FSM editor. For me, the shortcut keys do not seem to be working! I have the FSM editor installed with the Arma 3 Tools Steam Package, and this is installed on my C:/ drive. To open the editor, I first run the tools package as an Administrator, then run the FSM Editor as an Administrator. With the FSM open I try to use the shortcut keys (e.g. F2 to create a new state, F3 to link the states) but the keys do not seem to be registered when pressed. I am now at a loss as to why this is happening. I verified the tools package multiple times, so I do not believe it was an issue with the download. Does anyone else have this problem, or is there a way to fix this? If you wish to view logs, dumps or system specs please ask :) Kinds Regards, Bull Update: There is also a ticket on the feedback tracker (http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=25920)

Looks really good

First thing is to make sure your picture is in a resultion that is x2 (i.e. 512x512, 256x128 ...) You are looking for this attribute in the definition class: colorPicture[] = {1,1,1,1}; Make sure the RGBA value (this bit in the curly brackets) is set to white. Hope this helps, Bull

What is needed: - A full copy of the definition classes and the dialog class. - A full outlook of the script file that is being call/executed.

For others who may have the same problem, here is some information about scheduled and unscheduled environments: Call Spawn You can check if the script is in a scheduled enviroment by using the canSuspend command. Hope this helps, Bull

Make sure your images are in .paa format and have a resolution that is in the ^2 scale (e.g. 256x256, 512x1024). This is best practise. Also it would be worth looking at the createDiaryRecord command. It has all the necessary info on the rages and atributes to use

You can only have one at a time. The best way to go about structuring dialogs with lots of controls is with multiple ControlGroups (which are basically containers for controls). The only way I have managed to get two dialogs to be layered (where the bottom layer is inactive) is to create them using the following code: _nul = createDialog "RscDialog1"; ([] call BIS_fnc_displayMission) createDisplay "RscDialog2"; This will create a dialog "RscDialog1" and then another dialog "RscDialog2" on top of the first. Hope this helps, Bull

There lies your problem

Is your image resolution in the ^2 scale i.e. 256x256 or 1024x512 etc. Also where are you calling this command, is it in the Initialization field of the unit/object?

I myself find that COBOL is very good at handling these sorts of functions. I have also recently been learning the ancient art of RPG and would love to help you write a mission in OS/400 with the QSQFLE syntax parser

The Task Type only works with the Config values in CfgTaskTypes, the documentation does (or used to) state that you can define your own. However, last time I checked the function file the lookup for MissionConfigFile was not there. Hopefully this will be extended in the future. Here are some values to use: "Attack","Defend","Move","1"..."9","A"...."Z". Hope this answers your question, Bull

DLC pack for Tanoa confirmed? APEX Anthems DLC? https://www.youtube.com/embed/NsmK-FMS1qY

Nice that you have all that evidence to back up the statement you just made. BIS are one of the very few developers that listen to their community and provide the very best of services to them. After all, they are an independent studio so it is in their best interests to keep the community on their side. I'd be extremely surprised if BIS would release a development update then stop people from downloading it, so for me it is a Steam licencing issue (from past experiences with games like IL-2 Sturmovik - that had the same problem). Anyways, looks fantastic from what I've seen and heard so far. Can't wait to try this DEVELOPMENT release!

You cannot create ranks in the config.cpp file or in the mission description.ext. However, you can override the names and rank texture attributes of the existing ranks with a modification. If you want to create ranks I suggest you do the following: config.cpp CfgRanksCustom { class RankPrivate { rankPriority = 0; rankName = "Private"; rankNameShort = "Pvt."; rankTexture = "private.paa"; }; }; script.sqf _unit setVariable ["RankCustom","Private"]; Sorry to bring bad news, Bull

If you were able to get the weapon containers e.g. "GroundWeaponHolder" after the unit died you could always apply a Take eventhandler to that container an run code that prevents a player taking items from that container

Event handler is definitely the most robust way of doing this (and probably best practice!) What I would do is assign an mp killed event handler to all Ai units and then when the unit is killed generate an array of weapons they are carrying and a list of weapon holders around them. You can then remove these from the invetory and world respectively. AlThough these commands have global execution I would advise you to run the command on the server or the instance of which is the owner to the Ai unit you wish to handle If you would like some code ill be happy to provide you with it

Good to see that some cross-engine tech that should be more better is making its way into arma 3. First the occluders, then the lighting configuration, now some more visual optimization tech!

Simplest way is to use the BIS module Countdown. You define the countdown time and synchronize the module to a trigger. When the trigger activates, the module will initialize and start the countdown. You can also define an end of scenario screen using CfgDebriefings or pick from one of the predefined ones

_nul = [] call _oncapturedStarted this will call the function

sliderSetRange is a scripting command for use on UI controls with the type ST_SLIDER (or equivalent). There (currently) is not a way to force the scrollbar to a certain position/range. The only commands are the following: ctrlAutoScrollDelay ctrlAutoScrollRewind ctrlAutoScrollSpeed ctrlSetAutoScrollDelay ctrlSetAutoScrollRewind ctrlSetAutoScrollSpeed Hope that helps, Bull

Has anyone been able to retrieve the text that is displayed in a RscHTML control? My code so far: disableSerialization; // creates control _display = [] call BIS_fnc_displayMission; _control = _display ctrlCreate ["RscHTML",666]; _control ctrlSetPosition [0.1,0.1,0.5,0.5]; _control ctrlSetBackgroundColor [0,0,0,0.5]; _control ctrlCommit 0; _control htmlLoad "http://www.bistudio.com/newsfeed/arma3_news.php?build=main&language=English"; waitUntil {ctrlHTMLLoaded _control}; _text = ctrlText _control; hint _text; The above code returns an empty string.

Ability to toggle UI scaling on/off. With the current version (1.59.135679) the UI seems to be scaled too high for the selected option
