Need-To-Know

Cheers alky_lee, Not sure how I missed that - guess I wont be splitting the atom anytime soon. Lol

My apologies in advance as I am sure this is covered somewhere but I have not found it w/ Google, Forum search or support docs. Prob right in front of me. How do I create an area (like around my airport) that excludes TPW effects. Potentially disruptive effects like traffic, animals, civis. I love them everywhere else. 🙂 Thanks in advance!

Goblin GREAT STUFF!!! Many thanks! I remember in Arma 2 (I think it was 2) there was an EOD mod. You could use a speaker to warn the crowd to disperse (like in a town) when something was detected. You could also search people, randomly find intel - then arrest, call a helo for extraction. Kind like http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=16289 There was also that EOD dog: Anyhoo - not trying to add to your work/fun load. Just see you as someone who might be good at recreating that sort of depth.

Thanks - In testing this is what I have found works good: Create myself and a pilot. In the Pilots init paste: (driver this) setBehaviour "Careless"; (driver this) setCombatMode "Blue"; So far so good. Still not perfect but works better. Thanks for the suggestions.

Thanks for the suggestions I will give them a try. For the pilot not to react - Seems the solution I found in the past took several lines in the units init. I had even created a mission file with just the pilot to keep up with it. But lost the drive when it crashed. For flight height - In Arma2 or 1 someone created a way you could real time order the helicopter pilot to change altitude from high low. It helped when inserting troops to stay low and masked from SAMs. Or get to a location faster by staying high - out of small arms fire.

I used to have a script for making a squad mate AI Helo pilot not react to enemy forces and just fly where I click on the map. Lost it now. Also wishing for a way to order different flight or hove altitudes if that ever gets released. Someone did it in Arma 2 if memory serves me correctly.

That is great to hear. Would love the AI pilot to hover low enough for me and my AI team (if I could order them to) to deploy via ropes.

WOW- BWMOD was always my fav in the "old" days. Nothing like German Engineering! Always the best. Thanks! BTW - If you are like me and do not speak German - You can us Google to translate the PDF. This is the upload a PDF link for translation: https://translate.google.com/?tr=f&hl=en

I have the new CBA and the newest Lifter - In single player on a mission I created there is no lag. :)

Turn the Lights Out - on the Stomper MOD.....nuff said. OH and how about a camouflaged sniper weapon.

So I added the empty world parameter to my startup but had the same result. Next replaced the files with the the last version from the link you provided and the "lag" went away. Thanks for the mod and great support.

I believe they are in your default inventory (if you have the mod installed correctly). In game - Just hit the "I" button for inventory and drag them to you glasses slot.

Just an FYI from my experience. (same as ImCrazy) The lag happens on the main Arma screen. Like say when I exit the editor and want to shut down the game. Before I can use the Exit button (to fully exit Arma) the screen appears frozen. No background video, no sound, mouse cursor moves but nothing in the main menu is selectable for a minute or two. In game it works fine no "lag". Going to see if I have an older version of Lifter and see if it goes away. Non dev. version.

Wow!!! :) Worked like a charm. Genius!! Program is allot deeper than I thought before.

This makes mission building so much more fun!! Maybe for the next change - or maybe not possible - ability to add a silencer to the Vermin SMG. It always wants to slot it to the pistol. No big deal, I just add it to my vest and manually put it on when mission starts. Big thanks! Easiest mod for Arma to install and use- great UI - and also my vote for the very best!
