This thread is really old, but I thought maybe someone comes across it and tries to find a solution: The issue is caused by "colum_vertical_pond.pbo". By only deleting "test_pond_base.p3d" the issue is gone without deleting any other pond files. I haven't noticed any issues with that and that .p3d file is not referenced inside the config.bin. Deleting it solved the line issue I was facing too.

I had the same issue. Did you try deleting the .paa file? This worked for me as mine was corrupted.

I'd like to have a TV where the UAV feed is being displayed (just a normal camera that follows the UAV). I've used the script from this thread: https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/176856-live-feedpicture-in-picture-of-an-area-from-a-fixed-location/ However, I'd like to have the following things and I can't get it working: - The camera should be about 1 unit below the UAV (Z axis). - The vertical position (forward/backward tilt) should be applied to the camera aswell (I guess it needs vectors). - If the drone dies, the TV should show a custom .paa file (I know how to set the texture, but I don't know how I should use while and an if/else I'm also not quite sure if the code down below is ok like it is or if there's a better way to do it. And does somebody know if the pip screen will draw performance when it's not in sight? Would it decrease fps during the whole mission? Any help would be greatly appreciated ^_^ EDIT: And does somebody know how to use "camUseNVG" or "setCamUseTi" inside an sqf? _screen = "Land_FlatTV_01_F" createvehicle getposatl player; _screen setObjectTexture [0, "#(argb,512,512,1)r2t(piprendertg,1)"]; _pipcam = "camera" camCreate [0,0,0]; _pipcam cameraEffect ["Internal", "Back", "piprendertg"]; _pipcam camSetFov 0.4; while {alive Drone} do { _campos = getpos Drone; _pipcam setDir (getDir Drone); _pipcam setpos _campos; };

Thank you very much! After 6 hours of scripting I found out that attachTo also works with cameras which is awesome! :)

I'd need a little help with a script. After _time is 0 it should execute: _bomb = "R_60mm_HE" createVehicle (getPos XYZ); XYZ setDamage 1; I have this script called with a value of 60 seconds: private "_time"; _time = _this select 0; while {_time > 0} do { _time = _time - 1; hintSilent format["Time left: \n %1", [((_time)/60)+.01,"HH:MM"] call BIS_fnc_timetostring]; sleep 1; }; I know this is a pretty basic question but I've been trying to do this for an hour and I cannot seem to get it working. Thanks in advance! :)

Well, it worked just fine. Sorry for the late answer. You helped me out a lot! :) But still @MKD3 how to add hints without a loop (especially the countdown)?

I finally decided to try to create my own face in ArmA 3, but not just any face, but my own face. I've already found the original template and edited a little bit. Eyes, ears and the front face are no problem at all, but the side is. I'd need to somehow create a 3D model of my head and get it to 2D. When capturing my cheek, I get some serious colour issues and problems with the angle. I have enough skills to edit a little, but not to correct the roundness of my face. Any ideas on how I could do it? BTW I'm using Gimp. Moreover, is there another face.jpg with your skin colour or arms and so on like in A2? I could only find the face including eyes, ears and mouth.

Ok, so the thing you're searching for is 360 face or panorama face. It doesn't work very well with the iPhone or any similar automatic panorama apps, but it works with stitching. Maybe I can do this or I'll hire someone. At least I know how to do this ;) Gesendet von meinem A0001 mit Tapatalk

That's definitely a negative. After applying my custom face, it looked awesome. Only the body colour remained the same and was very dark. I think the problem is the unnatural colour and mine is perfectly normal. So mine works and I will definitely use it. However, I had to blur a lot of texture to get a good face and I'd like not to blur it, which is the reason why this thread exists. Gesendet von meinem A0001 mit Tapatalk

I'd like to have a vehicle service station for the Greyhawk drone (rearm, refuel, repair) and I tried to use the Service Station script by Blitz. However, if you are a UAV operator you don't seem to be in the vehicle and the coniditons aren't met. I need to adress every single controlled drone and add an addAction menu to it, but I have no clue for doing this for every drone. I definitely have to replace "vehicle player", but with what? Thanks in advance!

So the thing with "if (!isNil "SkipIntro") exitWith {};" is that I have the same short freeze as before. The ArmA 2 script with all options explained is awesome, that's what I was searching for. However, I have one more question. I'm trying to ungroup all playable units for the mission, but as I want a nice and clean lobby, I have to group them in the mission.sqm. I could just place the code in the init.sqf without checking if multiplayer etc., but I want it to only be activated in multiplayer and not in singleplayer. I have this: if (isMultiplayer) then { _group=createGroup West; [player] join _group; }; However, if I join as OPFOR unit, I still get killed by BLUFOR. Works without "isMultiplayer" on a dedi server. And I don't want to use "isDedicated".

I'm currently experimenting and reading a lot about the "init.sqf" and wanted to execute an intro script on mission load, but not for JIP. This resulted in having the script being called on mission start and for JIP. If this I say "isDedicated" shouldn't it be only executed by the server once and not for JIP? if (isDedicated) then { [ markerPos "CAMERA", // Target position (replace MARKERNAME) "BLABLA", // SITREP text 200, // m altitude 100, // m radius 40, // 0 degrees viewing angle 1, // Clockwise movement [ // add Icon at player's position ["\a3\ui_f\data\map\markers\nato\b_recon.paa", _colorWest, markerPos "", 1, 1, 0, 0], // add Icon at enemy/target position; ["\a3\ui_f\data\map\markers\nato\o_inf.paa", _colorEast, markerPos "", 1, 1, 0, 0] ] ] spawn BIS_fnc_establishingShot; }; Also this resulted in the same as above, but only "else" so "SECOND THING" was executed on mission start and JIP. if (isDedicated) then { FIRST THING } else { SECOND THING }; What am I doing wrong? :/

I know exactly what they are, but I've seen some weird behaviour. I'm now not quite sure if I might have put an "!" in front of it, which would explain why I saw the script executed locally when "isDedicated" was used. I've checked it now again and it works like it should (isDedicated now doesn't execute locally). I guess this mistake started my confusion. Thanks anyway, it works with "initPlayerLocal.sqf" thanks to ArmA 3's new sqf options ;)

So with "initPlayerLocal.sqf" it actually works only for the first time and then you spawn, it freezes half a second and you don't see any camera script or intro at all. Not completely perfect, but the best solution I've found yet and moreover it's working. So if I have "if (isXYZ)" it only checks if it should execute, is that correct? So if I say "if (isDedicated)" then it seems to execute locally and globally if it is a dedicated server. I'm always reading that it should only run on the server and NOT locally. EDIT: Did they change that in ArmA 3 after introducing the new sqfs like initPlayerLocal and so on?

Tried that now too. My sqf looks like this (still no effect for any player). EDIT: Will try initPlayerLocal.sqf. initPlayerServer.sqf if (_this select 1) exitWith {}; [ markerPos "CAMERA", // Target position (replace MARKERNAME) "BLABLA", // SITREP text 200, // m altitude 100, // m radius 40, // 0 degrees viewing angle 1, // Clockwise movement [ // add Icon at player's position ["\a3\ui_f\data\map\markers\nato\b_recon.paa", _colorWest, markerPos "", 1, 1, 0, 0], // add Icon at enemy/target position; ["\a3\ui_f\data\map\markers\nato\o_inf.paa", _colorEast, markerPos "", 1, 1, 0, 0] ] ] spawn BIS_fnc_establishingShot;

@JShock: Already tried that and it did nothing for any player :S

I've been searching for 30 minutes now and nothing seems to work in ArmA 3: I want a bar gate trigger to activate only when a player in a vehicle is present. So no AI and of course it should be multiplayer compatible. I know how to do this by using all names of the playable units, but that's very inconvenient! Thanks in advance!

Thanks! That did the trick. By using BLUFOR and "({_x isKindOf "Car"} count thisList) > 0 || ({_x isKindOf "Tank"} count thisList) > 0" together, it is now only opening when BLUFOR vehicles are nearby. With this I can place some BLUFOR guards without firing the trigger. Nice!

This trigger should fire if any player in any vehicle is in the condition area. The thing you have posted only works for one single vehicle.

PUBLIC1001 German ArmA Community First of all, we are only looking for German speaking people. However, we're happy to welcome even non-native speakers as long as we can communicate ;) Founded in 2012 Public1001 is a German ArmA community originated from several players who wanted a real ArmA experience. We are currently playing ArmA 2 as well as ArmA 3 with a bunch of mods to make it more realistic. We love tactical gameplay and strategy in order to accomplish all mission tasks without a single incident. We have to offer: - a game server running ArmA 2 & ArmA 3 (including TeamSpeak) - more than 15 members plus some "trainees" in our community - a new mission every single week (Friday or Saturday evening) developed by our mission makers - a lot of standard mods and even customised ones for a realistic gameplay We are looking for: - people interested in tactical gameplay, - willing to play a mission every single week, - interested mainly in COOP, but also PvP, - showing respect and proper behaviour, - to make ArmA a military simulation and not Call of Duty. Requirements: - ArmA 2 and/or ArmA 3 - 16 years of age or older (no exceptions!) - fluent in German - good internet connection (you'd have to download at least 10 GB of mods) If you are interested visit: http://public1001.de or TeamSpeak 3 (public1001.de) and contact "Macusercom", "CH33T3R" or "Benn5001".

Hallo! Wir sind der Public1001-ArmA-Clan, der sich vor allem auf ArmA 2 ACE spezialisiert hat und neue Mitglieder sucht. Wir sind ein aktiver Clan, der jede Woche am Freitag eine selbstgebaute Mission spielt und höchsten Wert auf Realismus legt ohne den Spielspaß zu vermindern. Wir bieten: - einen eigenen Speielserver - einen eigenen TeamSpeak-Server - viele freundliche Mitglieder - einen eigenen Modstarter (zur Installation unserer Mods) - und ein tolles ArmA-Spieleerlebnis! Zu den Missionen: Wie schon erwähnt spielen wir jeden Freitag am Abend eine ArmA 2-ACE-Mission, die von unseren Missionsbauern (wie ich einer bin) erstellt worden sind. Sie sind auf COOP ausgelegt. Das bedeutet wir spielen gegen KIs und alle Clan-Mitgliedern sind zusammen in einem Fire Team bzw. Squad. Auch Logistik (Helikopter, APC, etc.) ist bei Bedarf auch vorhanden. Hineinschnuppern ist auch erlaubt! Die Teilnahme an einer Mission ist nicht auf die Clan-Mitgliedschaft beschränkt! Gerne kann einfach so am Freitag einmal mitgespielt werden, wenn wir uns sicher sind, dass du mit ArmA 2 selbst umgehen kannst. Und das sollte nicht allzu schwer sein :) Und wenn du noch unerfahren bist: Wir kämpfen jeden Tag nicht nur mit Feinden, sondern auch darum, dass wir unseren Mitgliedern eine ordentliche Ausbildung geben. Wichtig ist hier der Umgang mit ACE und ACRE, den wir, wenn ihr damit noch nicht vertraut seid, auch gerne beibringen! Wenn du Interesse hast, dann schau mal bei http://public1001.de vorbei oder besuche unseren TS-Server: Public1001.de Wenn du Fragen hast, dann zögere nicht sie zu stellen!

Since I've updated my ArmA 2 OA to 1.63, I can't use the Arma2server.exe to join my own server. I'm using the server.exe as this server needs to run even when I'm disconnect. So using the ArmA 2 in-game option has no use for me. I can connect and it shows me that I'm connected, but it's stuck at "Wait for Host". It worked with GameSpy and the ports are open. It works fine on ArmA 3 after spending 1 hour to fix it. Log File: RPT Time Stamp:

That was the thing I was searching for. Thank you very, very much. You just helped me creating a useful MEDEVAC for our missions! Greetings from Austria! :)

Hey there! I want to make a script that people inside a MEDEVAC won't get hurt by enemy AIs. This should work with the setCaptive command, but I have some problems at the moment. I found a script for this, but I want to either use it for a certain vehicle names or that it automatically detects MEDEVACs (in ACE). I tried this one, but it doesn't seem to work. In this example I wanted to tell the script that the player should be inside the vehicle which HAS to be named "UH60". I guess I'm not the best in scripting oO The solution to enable this even for multiple vehicles for all classes if you have them (e.g. to have a MEDEVAC, that won't get shot) is here (thanks to XxAnimusxX!): (Just paste it into an .sqf file and activate it through the mission's init.sqf with: execVM "scripts\YOURFILENAME.sqf") captiveInVehicle = { (_this select 2) setCaptive ((_this select 2) in (_this select 0)); }; _vehicleTypes = ["UH60M_MEV_EP1", "M1133_MEV_EP1"]; { if ((typeOf _x) in _vehicleTypes ) then { { _x setCaptive true; } forEach crew _x; _x addEventHandler ["GetIn", "_this call captiveInVehicle;"]; _x addEventHandler ["GetOut", "_this call captiveInVehicle;"]; }; } forEach vehicles; For just one vehicle it's here: (Paste it into the vehicle's init in the mission editor) this addEventHandler ["GetIn", {(_this select 2) setCaptive true;}]; this addEventHandler ["GetOut", {(_this select 2) setCaptive false;}];

I'm sorry. The script that I had caused these weird problems. Your script is working fine. The AIs are attacking the chopper sometimes, but only if a friendly unit is in front of it :D Could you please tell me how to add classnames to your script, so that I can say e.g. isKindOf "UH60M_MEV_EP1" and "M1133_MEV_EP1"? (Thanks for also including the ID for the MEDEVAC Blackhawk though!) :)
