Thanks, no more explodings armored :)

Hi, i need some help. I use the lattest ARMA 3 dev build. I try : _WAG_POS01 = [getmarkerpos _WAG_MARKER01,[100,250],random 360,0,[1,250],Armored] call SHK_pos; and : _WAG_POS01 = [getmarkerpos _WAG_MARKER01,[100,250],random 360,0,[1,250],(typeof Armored)] call SHK_pos; Result : Error Undefined variable in expression: armored I have the same problem if i use heli and car, APC, MRAP. Any idea?

Thank you Zenophon, I will study your advice, study your changes and, I hope, learn a lot. Thanks again.

Hi. I am currently working on a infantry mission. On start, it should create or choose a random weather, choose a random marker to spawn objects, units, trigger and players.

Sometimes, players stay in pre-setpos position, sometimes, the entire Scripts\OPFOR\fwd_OPFOR.sqf is not working, but the objectives one is launched and the end trigger is activated after the sleep delay. I think it's a bad synchronisation between host and players, but i'm lost. Do you have any solutions or idea to optimize this or to make it functionnal on a dedicated server? Do you know how i can use the startLoadingScreen / endLoadingScreen with my init.sqf on a dedicated server? Thank you. (Oh, i forget. Thank you Farooqaaa, Shuko, Kronzky and spunFIN. Your scripts are awesome.)
