I have been able to achieve most of what I wanted. What I'm working on now: I still haven't been able to disable the "Side Objectives". How can I remove the side objectives from the random objective pool, but still be able to create a side objective from the "AdminMode" Menu whenever I choose. - (Don't know if that will make sense). If that is not possible in the way I explained it, how do I get rid of the side objectives altogether? What I want to look into next: Which are the files that control the amount of enemy that spawn when an objective is created? Which are the files that control the amount of enemy that spawn for reinforcements? Would it be possible to add a task marker (carrot that gets checked off when a task is complete) for each individual objective? for example individually for the suitcase/intel, the kill commander, rescue hostage, destroy device, etc. These are things I haven't gotten around to, but will appreciate anything you can explain to advance my understanding and exploration of the mission. Thanks.

Everything works properly as it is. It seems initServer.sqf will be the new init.sqf with the bulk of the code. I just thought some of the code could be spread out across the different init files. I didn't want to move anything around. I don't really understand the following. if (isServer or isDedicated) then <<< Does that mean everything under that goes in initServer.sqf? and if so, do I have to add if (isServer or isDedicated) then at the top of the initServer.sqf? waitUntil {!isNull player && isPlayer player}; <<< Don't know if (!(isNull player)) then <<< Don't know if (!isServer && isNull player) then <<< Don't know {waitUntil {!isNull player};

Somewhat related question: I inherited a mission over a year ago where it only contains an init.sqf file with a customscript.sqf to run other scripts. I would like to update that to the new standard of init.sqf - initserver.sqf - initplayerlocal.sqf. Is there a place/section on the forums or a site to post code where other users can check/review it?

This is the script you need to add: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=18967 https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/139848-getset-loadout-saves-and-loads-pretty-much-everything/

Hello. I have enjoyed your Enemy Assault mission for a very long time - Thank You! I want to make a "Lite" version of this. I want to remove extra features such as any mod options, weather options, vehicles, respawn, etc. - anything that doesn't have to do with enemy units and task creation. I want to add to my personal missions mainly the created tasks/units (No Side Missions) at the randomly generated AOs. What are the files/scripts associated with that part of the mission and what markers/game logics etc. need to be present in the editor? Thank you for any information you may provide.

It works fine when I remove it. createVehicleCrew uh80_alpha BIS_grpAlphaUH80 = group this uh80_alpha animateDoor ["door_L",1]; uh80_alpha animateDoor ["door_R",1]; uh80_alpha setObjectTexture [0,'images\bomsf_woodland.paa']; uh80_alpha setObjectTexture [1,'images\bomsf_woodland.paa']; clearItemCargoGlobal uh80_alpha; clearWeaponCargoGlobal uh80_alpha; clearMagazineCargoGlobal uh80_alpha; clearBackpackCargoGlobal uh80_alpha;

I've been messing around with the vanilla vehicle respawn module but I just get an empty chopper to spawn. I'm still very uncertain of how to achieve this. Any help from anyone will be greatly appreciated.

It has been a while since I last tried to make this work; Are there any new solutions or ways to make this happen? Here's a Recap: "I am hoping someone can help me or guide me in the right direction with changing the weather on a dedicated server. I get the following to work in the editor and when I host on my PC, but not on the dedicated server." "I get this to work on NON DEDICATED SERVERS. I'm basically looking for a function that will allow instant weather change; Or any weather change for that matter.." "Plain and simple, I don't know how to script the weather changes. I am open to any alternatives. What I attempted to do was to modify what worked for TIME CHANGE to suit WEATHER CHANGE. It worked out great, but not on the dedicated server." --- This is what calls the TIME CHANGE function (Button Press). class btnD1: mop_RscButton { idc = 1671; action = "closeDialog 0;[[],'teg_fnc_morningMsg',true,true] call BIS_fnc_MP;"; text = "Dawn (5AM)"; //--- ToDo: Localize; x = 0.1945; y = 0.0900; w = 0.190; h = 0.045; tooltip = "Change to Morning"; //--- ToDo: Localize; }; --- This is the TIME CHANGE function. teg_fnc_morningMsg = { private ["_text","_1","_msg"]; _text = "<t size='1'>" + "Morning" + "<br />" + "<t size='1.5'>" + "Mission Time Change" + "</t>" + "<br />" + "<img size='4' image='images\a3_bombadge2.paa'/>" + "</t>"; _1 =[_text,0.01,0.01,10,-1,0,90]spawn bis_fnc_dynamicText; _date = date; _date set [3,05]; //--- new hour (18) _date set [4,05]; //--- new minute (35) cuttext ["","black out"]; 1 fadesound 0; sleep 1; [[[_date], { setDate (_this select 0) }], "BIS_fnc_spawn"] call BIS_fnc_MP;; 2 fadesound 1; sleep 2; cuttext ["","black in"]; }; --- This is what calls the WEATHER CHANGE function (Button Press). class btnD10: mop_RscButton { idc = 1680; action = "closeDialog 0;[[],'teg_fnc_rain',true,true] call BIS_fnc_MP;"; text = "Rain"; //--- ToDo: Localize; x = 0.1945; y = 0.2700; w = 0.190; h = 0.045; tooltip = "Change Weather to Rain"; //--- ToDo: Localize; }; --- This is the WEATHER CHANGE function. teg_fnc_rain = { private ["_text","_1","_msg"]; _text = "<t size='1'>" + "Rain" + "<br />" + "<t size='1.5'>" + "Mission Weather Change" + "</t>" + "<br />" + "<img size='4' image='images\a3_bombadge2.paa'/>" + "</t>"; _1 =[_text,0.01,0.01,10,-1,0,90]spawn bis_fnc_dynamicText; cuttext ["","black out"]; 1 fadesound 0; sleep 1; skipTime -24; 0 setOvercast 1; 0 setRain 1; 0 setFog 1; skipTime 24; sleep 1; simulWeatherSync; 2 fadesound 1; sleep 2; cuttext ["","black in"]; }; --- Resources/Links: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setOvercast https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/overcast https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setRain https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/rain https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setFog https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/fog https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/simulWeatherSync https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_spawn https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_MP --- Please excuse the length of the post.

Hello. How can I turn all of the following information from buttons to a list box or drop list? Here's an example of how it is currently set up: --- bfv_gui_main.hpp

Can you explain a bit further with an example of how to implement that or point me in the direction of where I can get a better understanding?

_wscore = server_1 getVariable ["westscore","westscore not ready"]; Seemed to work (Got rid of the message), but then on the next load up the _escore variable got the same error. So I repeated the "fix". _escore = server_1 getVariable ["eastscore","eastscore not ready"]; On the the next load up _talive got the error, so it seems like it is just moving down the list. What can I add to the _talive line and what does "eastscore not ready" do?

I couldn't get this to work at all for me. I did notice a few errors i.e. it says to press Alt when it should be Ctrl. The information doesn't seem consistent. Its probably me. Are there any other documentation/tutorials on how to make listboxes?

How can I make the AI toss the rope when I get to my destination? Is there a command or action I can script? This is a piece of our LZ/Insertion script. is there something like uh80_alpha action ['autoHover', uh80_alpha]; Example: uh80_alpha land "GET OUT"; uh80_alpha action ['autoHover', uh80_alpha]; uh80_alpha animateDoor ["door_L",1]; uh80_alpha animateDoor ["door_R",1]; sleep 20; uh80_alpha action ['Toss Rope', uh80_alpha]; // <<< Is something like this possible? [["AirborneCommand",["Airborne Command", "Alpha - Greenlight - Good To Go"]], "BIS_fnc_showNotification", true, false] spawn BIS_fnc_MP; sleep 1; };

How can I make the garrison bots stay inside the buildings even when Blufor is detected? I want to HAVE TO search house to house to clear an area. fillHouse.sqf nulfh1 = [curmrkr,2,false,2,[5,0],100,[0.3,0.5,0.3,0.4,0.3,0.9,0.9,0.6,1,0.3],opforgrp,"opforgrp = group this;",nil,opformrkr] execVM "bpad\LV\fillHouse.sqf"; What is the proper "target" set up for the following on a dedicated server? I want them to seek and destroy the human players. heliParadrop.sqf nulhp1 = [opformrkr,2,true,false,1500,"random",true,100,150,8,0.5,50,false,false,false,true,player,true,0.8,opforgrp,"opforgrp = group this;",nil,false] execVM "bPad\LV\heliParadrop.sqf"; reinforcementChopper.sqf nulre1 = [opformrkr,true,2,4,false,true,player,"random",1500,true,true,8,0.8,[false,false,false,false],opforgrp,"opforgrp = group this;",nil,false] execVM "bPad\LV\reinforcementChopper.sqf";

I see what you've done with the "Find Garage", could this be turned into something involving IEDs and the road? Just an idea.

How come setMarkerBrush "Border" is not allowed in ARMA3? Or is there an alternative way of setting that up? I'd like to use it for this. _mrkrcao = createMarker [caomrkr, targetpos]; caomrkr setMarkerShape "ELLIPSE"; caomrkr setMarkerColor "ColorGrey"; caomrkr setMarkerSize [trigao,trigao]; caomrkr setMarkerType "Empty"; caomrkr setMarkerText "Combat Area"; Resources/Links: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setMarkerBrush

Confirmed it does work. I was basically looking for the info on what the name for the border marker was, I saw it said only for ARMA2. I should've just tried it. Thanks.

We have an in game tablet that allows us to click buttons to spawn vehicles. The following works properly as far as spawning the vehicle for everyone but the addactions (Get On Skid) only appear to the person that spawned the vehicle. What do I have to do? private ["_caller"]; _caller = _this select 0; titleText ["Open Map and Click on MH9 Vehicle Spawn location.", "PLAIN"]; ["mk_wst_mh9", "onMapSingleClick", { titleText ["", "PLAIN"]; _tpos = _pos; mrkrnum = server_1 getVariable "mrkrcnt"; mrkrnum = mrkrnum + 1; mrkrname = format["MH9_%1", mrkrnum]; vehname = format["BFMH9_%1", mrkrnum]; _mrkr = createMarker [mrkrname, _tpos]; mrkrname setMarkerShape "ICON"; mrkrname setMarkerColor "Color4_FD_F"; mrkrname setMarkerSize [1, 1]; mrkrname setMarkerType "mil_dot"; mrkrname setMarkerText mrkrname; server_1 setVariable ["mrkrcnt",mrkrnum,true]; vehname = "B_Heli_Light_01_F" createVehicle getMarkerPos mrkrname; vehname addAction["Get on Skid Left Front", "player moveInCargo [vehname, 4]"]; vehname addAction["Get on Skid Left Back", "player moveInCargo [vehname, 3]"]; vehname addAction["Get on Skid Right Front", "player moveInCargo [vehname, 2]"]; vehname addAction["Get on Skid Right Back", "player moveInCargo [vehname, 5]"]; ["mk_wst_mh9", "onMapSingleClick"] call BIS_fnc_removeStackedEventHandler; bfvehlist = bfvehlist + [[vehname, mrkrname]]; publicVariable "bfvehlist"; true; }] call BIS_fnc_addStackedEventHandler;

@DreadedEntity - Thanks it worked, but I guess the way we are spawning the vehicles is causing other issues. @JShock - The scripter of our mission was a very methodical individual, that's just how he did things.

Thanks for the replies in the "Random Weather Script" thread. I tried the following: action = "closeDialog 0;[] spawn teg_fnc_rain;"; Instead of: action = "closeDialog 0;[[],'teg_fnc_rain',true,true] call BIS_fnc_MP;"; And it made a little bit of progress; The weather did change while playing on the dedicated server but only for the person who is pressing the button (calling the function). Each player did successfully change the weather on THEIR machine while playing on the dedicated server. --- The next question is: In the random weather script this is how it is set up. execVM "randomWeather2.sqf"; in our init.sqf it looks like this: [] spawn compile PP "bPad\mop\mission_time.sqf"; Note: The weather change functions are in the same .sqf as the time change functions. Should I make the weather change functions in their own .sqf file? So it looks something like this - "execVM "mission_weather.sqf"; Will that do anything?
