I am learning mission making and strugling with setting params for medical settings. I got vanilla system, and ACE3 basic/advanced medical system. I want to choose one of these at start of mission. How to set up / use this param to set medical system in mission? I got so far this: description.ext class Params { class MedicalSystem { title = "Medical System"; texts[] = {"Vanilla", "A.C.E. 3 - Basic","A.C.E. 3 - Advanced"}; values[] = {0, 1, 2}; default = 0; file = "scripts/medical_system.sqf"; }; }; medical_system.sqf _medicalSystem = "MedicalSystem" call BIS_fnc_getParamValue;

Hi, I am struggling with ejecting all units from vehicle. This is what I got: _cargo = assignedCargo _vehicle; _commander = assignedCommander _vehicle; _driver = assignedDriver _vehicle; _gunner = assignedGunner _vehicle; _crew = _cargo + _commander + _driver + _gunner; { _x action ["EJECT", _vehicle]; // _x action ["GETOUT", _vehicle]; } forEach _crew; Also problem is, when there is no gunner, it gives me empty object to add to _crew array. I want to have units in _crew array to kick them out.

How to create selected operation area in COOP mission as in this picture ?

I have event handler on unit _unit addEventHandler ["killed", "[_this select 0, _this select 1] execVM 'script.sqf'"]; Then in script.sqf params ["_victim", "_killer"]; // get killer weapon when unit died _killerWeapon = currentWeapon _killer; /* IDEA for grenade _weapon = weaponState _killer; if (_weapon select 0 == "Throw") then { _killerWeapon = _weapon select 3; } else { _killerWeapon = _weapon select 0; }; */ _weaponName = (configFile >> "cfgWeapons" >> _killerWeapon); _weaponName = format["%1",getText(_weaponName >> "displayName")]; switch (true) do { case (_victim == _killer) : { //suicide }; case (vehicle _killer == _killer) : { //run over with car }; default { //killed by weapon }; }; How to check if killing weapon was grenade / grenade from launcher / mine ? Probably different way to check for bullet / explosion death?

When I create marker on map it will spawn enemy on random position on marker when player approach marker. I added configurate distance in script. Problem is, that my trigger condition is not working. Enemy is created no matter what distance I am from marker. enemy.sqf /* AUTHOR: MikeSK 701st [S.O.G.] NAME: enemy.sqf VERSION: 0.5 DESCRIPTION: Spawn enemy on marker when player approach.

I have list, where I filter objects. _list = nearestObjects [_vehicle, ["Car", "Tank", "Ship"], 10]; I want to have in list all "car", "tank", "ship", "submarines", "ammo boxes", "container box", "static weapon" and possible mod classes. How to specify filter for those I named?

@Larrow Thank you for this knowledge. This is more usefull to me, than actual answer. So by searching in config viewer I come up with this list _list = nearestObjects [_vehicle, ["StaticWeapon","Car","Ship","Cargo_base_F", "ReammoBox_F"], 10]; Question: I found that (small red light) that I use for helipads have superclass "Ship". How can I exclude this from filter ? PortableHelipadLight_01_Red_F

I changed ACE3 settings by defining it in descrtiption.ext. How can I sync medical facility or medical vehicle by script? I don't want to use modules. Can this be done?

How can I use ace_settings_class to synchronize object with module? Example: how to synchronize medical system with building (hospital) as ACE3 medical building? or how to synchronize medical system with vehicle (medavac) as ACE3 medical vehicle ?

Can you post some example of "change textures using hidden selections" for reference ?

I have functions myFunction1 = { //do stuff here }; myFunction2 = { //do stuff here }; myFunctionDefault = { //do stuff here }; then I have switch switch(_param) do { case "one": { _function = myFunction1; }; case "two": { _function = myFunction1; }; default { _function = myFunctionDefault; }; }; then I want to do call {[_par1, _par2] call _function}; But it get me error, that _function is undefined variable. How to call function via variable?

Hi, when I add vehicle from addon to mission I want to check if player is starting mission with that addon. If not, use car from vanilla Arma. I am looking for way to identify check if used class (unit, vehicle, object) is available in mission. Looking to check if addon is enabled (e.g. if class is found ) in mission. Want to prevent this

@dna_uk I need to call this _function multiple times. This will work, but then I must copy/paste this code and that is "duplicity of code" for me. Thank you, I now know more :)

@d3limit3r thank you, that helped. @jshock Yes, that is good approach, but not in my favour. Anyway another approach to consider. My problem was that _function was out of scope. So defining it at start helped.

hello, I crated simple script to load custom gear for units. It works for init, but not after respawn. USAGE: Add this line to init of unit: null = [this, "role"] execVM "loadout.sqf"; Problem is, that I want to load loadout after respawn with same role. _unit addEventHandler ["respawn","[_this select 0, _this select 1] execVM 'loadout.sqf'"]; But _this select 1 will not select current role. So I tried to workaround this by getVariable / setVariable but with no luck. How to add second parameter (role) to addEventHandler?

it is modification of my script, I want to reduce init line of player by reducing this addeventhandler ["respawn","_this execVM 'loadout1.sqf'"]; also want to have just one sqf file with all custom gears

Can this be used for primary weapon too?

nice, I will look into it
