    I just recently updated my JBAD and all of a sudden I can't open most buildings doors?? I used the older version from I think 2016 or 2017 for years with no trouble. Just tonight while updating I cannot now open most doors on Kunduz map (non CUP) and another Lyitum (sp) map.  Solutions? THANKS!

    Since 1.70 Update.  This fantastic mod only works if I place a limited # of enemy on the map. Once I place a certain amount (say 30 + enemy) I can no longer control my BluFor groups. I can click on them, the issue order pop up appears but once I click on set waypoints (or set formation) it goes right away and wont issue orders.  Works fine with only a limited number of enemies placed. But once I hit a threshold my BluFor units are unable to take orders. ??

     Random House Patrol Script v2.2 for Arma 3
     by Tophe of Östgöta Ops [OOPS]
     Contact & bugreport: BIS forums
    =============================================================================================
    HOW TO USE:
    Place unit close to a house and put this in the init field: 
    guard = [this] execVM "HousePatrol.sqf"

    OPTIONAL SETTINGS:
    guard = [this, MODE, STAND TIME, EXCLUDED POS, STARTING POS, DEBUG] execVM "HousePatrol.sqf"
    * BEHAVIOUR - set unit behaviour.
     guard = [this,"COMBAT"] execVM "HousePatrol.sqf"
     
     Options: CARELESS, SAFE, AWARE, COMBAT, STEALTH
     Default: SAFE
    * STAND TIME - Set maximum amount of seconds the unit will wait before moving to next waypoint.
     guard = [this,"SAFE",50] execVM "HousePatrol.sqf"
      
     Options: Any value in seconds. 0 = continuous patrol.
     Default: 30
    * EXCLUDED POSITIONS - exclude certain building positions from patrol route.
     guard = [this,"SAFE",30, [5,4]] execVM "HousePatrol.sqf"
     
     Options: Array of building positions
     Default: [] (no excluded positions)
     
    * STARTING POS - Some building positions doesn't work well will the setPos command.
     Here you may add a custom starting pos. Negative number means starting pos will be randomized.
     guard = [this,"SAFE",30, [5,4], 2] execVM "HousePatrol.sqf"
     Options: Any available building position
     Default: -1 (random)
    * STANCE - Tell the unit what stance to use.
     To keep the unit from going prone you can set this to MIDDLE or UP.
     AUTO will be the standard behaviour and unit will crawl around in combat mode.
     HIGH is the default mode. This is like AUTO but prone position is excluded.
     
     Options: UP, DOWN, MIDDLE, AUTO, HIGH
     Default: HIGH
     
    * DEBUG - Use markers and chatlog for mission design debugging.
     guard = [this,"SAFE",30, [], -1, true] execVM "HousePatrol.sqf"  
     
     Options: true/false
     Default: false

    Odd since last update. This works on it's own. But no longer works if I used a long time used HOUSE PATROL script.   If I use older used saved missions (with same patrol script) it works.  But any new created missions in which this patrol script is used. This won't work. It won't allow me to give any orders to friendly AI units (though they all show up in map mode).    This patrol script is below (sorry, not attaced to this one).   I can't seem to find a conflict but certainly is one with latest update and these two together.

    Anyone know if Duda is still working on this? Does it still work as I'm having trouble getting the mod to work on 1.70 

     

     

    Edit- My apologies I found on Steampage about middle mouse button, now everything works... awesome...Love this mod Duda

     

     

    What was the fix??  I love this mod? Old made missions still work when I call them up. But any new made missions since last patch....I cannot control other units in map mode now.  No matter what key I push  (or mouse) it won't select any of the options for other AI units.   What is the fix?  Much appreciated.

    I use to use the random start option. By placing several markerts and then linking them to an AI.  He would then begin at any of those locations randomly.  However, I can't get that to work since last few updates.  I have an AI man.  I place 3 markers on map. I then click my AI guy and say set to random marker (linking each three places back to him. From marker to him).  Yet when game starts he is just on the map where placed. Not in any of those locations.  On occasion he will go to one them. But on most he is just on the map where placed??

    Wrong, they don't make updates to cater for the addon makers, the addon makers work around BIS updates.

    The product is VERY usable, the addons YOU chose to use, make them unusable, not the product.

    It's down to addon makers to keep their products up to date with the platform updates.

     

    Perhaps..... But I'd bet dollars to doughnuts without the modding community A2 or A3 would not ever have happened. It is the modding community that made BIS what it became. And for those of us who work 50+ hours weekly we are greatly appreciative to those very talented modders (like Massi) and all the work they do. Nor do we have the time to learn modding of particular subsets within the game.  We also have dozens and dozens of hours into mission building which use said "mods".  So once they are broken it isn't that easy to just say, well it is still useable, just don't use those.  As a point of fact, sure, ....but as a paying customer looking for an experience he wants, not exactly.  

     

    Here's hoping Massi desires for A3 come back to him when he gets time.

    Further playtesting.  The flashbangs still work and only work for the first person you spawn into the game as. But even within that player. FB work about 8 out of 10 times. 2 of them will go off as duds?   Love this mod. Definitely hope the mod creator can fix it back up.
