made an EH that activates if player fires a shot. all groups around player that are atleast 200 meters away will converge around the player based on relative dir. the rest of the groups will carry on with their patrol fired1 = true; while {true} do { sleep 5; if (fired1) then {hint "hi"; player setvariable ["MyFiringEH",99]; fired1 = false; eventHandlerID2 = player addEventHandler ["fired", { hint "shot"; [] spawn{ _wp0 = ""; {if (side _x isEqualTo EAST && (((units _x) select 0) distance player) < 200 ) then {_dir = ((units _x) select 0) getRelDir player; _start = position player; _dist = 20; _pos = [(_start select 0) + cos _dir * _dist, (_start select 1) - sin _dir * _dist, 0]; {deleteWaypoint _x} foreach waypoints _x; sleep 0.3; if ((count (waypoints _x)) < 1) then{ _wp0 = _x addwaypoint [_pos,5]; _wp0 setwaypointtype "Move"; _x setBehaviour "combat"; };}; } foreach allgroups; };player removeAllEventHandlers "fired"; fired1 = true;}]; }; }; had to edit it, since it created waypoints == to the amount of all groups counted I don't know if "move" is better for this? fired1 = true; while {true} do { sleep 5; if (fired1) then {hint "hi"; player setvariable ["MyFiringEH",99]; fired1 = false; eventHandlerID2 = player addEventHandler ["fired", { hint "shot"; [] spawn{ _wp0 = ""; {if (side _x isEqualTo EAST && (((units _x) select 0) distance player) < 200 ) then {_dir = ((units _x) select 0) getRelDir player; _start = position player; _dist = 20; _pos = [(_start select 0) + cos _dir * _dist, (_start select 1) - sin _dir * _dist, 0]; //{deleteWaypoint _x} foreach waypoints _x; sleep 0.3; //if ((count (waypoints _x)) <= 1) then{ /*_wp0 = _x addwaypoint [_pos,5]; _wp0 setwaypointtype "Move";*/ _x move _pos; _x setBehaviour "combat";}; } foreach allgroups; };player removeAllEventHandlers "fired"; fired1 = true;}]; }; };

i would like to create a function that gets all hill locations and randomly selects a range of locations that are 2000 meters apart. could someone help me with this? really appreciate it. _nearbyLocations = nearestLocations [position player, ["hills"], 25000]; select a random range of 1 to 4 locations that are at least > 2000 meters apart return the value

i want a way of randomly selecting 4 hills that are 2000 meters apart. the way I'm doing it now is, manually putting down objects on the map and randomly selecting a hill in a 2000 meter radius. instead of having to place objects down as a reference, i would rather have a function find random hill at least 2000 meters apart

generic error in expression |#|sleep 2; error missing ; if (!(count _nearLoc ==0)) then {hint "Array contains things"}; else |#|{hint "array is empty";}; what I'm trying to do is, if the player is 100 from nearest location - spawn ai 10% chance ever 5 second. _myGroup = group player; _RanNum = ""; _position = getPos player; _nearLoc = nearestLocations [position player, ["NameCity","FlatAreaCity"], 100]; hint format ["city %1",_nearloc]; sleep 2; while {true} do { _RanNum = floor random 10; if (!(count _nearLoc ==0)) then {hint "Array contains things"}; else {hint "array is empty";}; if (_RanNum = 0) then {_tempSoldier = _myGroup createUnit [ "B_Protagonist_VR_F", _position, [], 0, "NONE" ];}; sleep 5; }; may of answered one of my questions if (!(count _nearLoc ==0)) then {hint "Array contains things"}; else |#|{hint "array is empty";}; ";"is ending the statement too soon? another question though. if i generate a random number and i want a condition to be true if the randomly gen number is 0 - would if (_ranNum = 0) work for that purpose? finished script script to randomly spawn infantry or motorized units around the player if atleast 500 meters away from cities or airports

not the best coding skills but I'm trying. spawns radio tower when near hills and creates objective. spawns roadblock when near roads. spawns troop patrols when away from any location _spwmgrp = compile preprocessfilelinenumbers "scripts\fn_spwngrp.sqf";

Maybe dynamic simulation is stewing it up Dynamic Simulation is a feature that extends the possibilities to define and control object simulation. It's goal is to allow designer to increase number of objects and AI units that can be present in the mission without destroying game performance. This is achieved by selectively simulating only what is needed. Features Affects both SP and MP scenarios. Can be selectively applied to entities and groups. Easy to setup. Silent background operation; no lag spikes or fps drops. Limitations No line of sight detection; designer needs to make sure player cannot see transition between enabled/disabled states. No support for moving entities; entities will stop moving when disabled. No backward compatibility with other older systems like are the scripted Sites or FPS Manager

when looking at your updateArsenal it requires a whitelist? ""WEST"" and fn_createlist adds gear by side, I don't see how it would add all gear [AirHQ1, "Arsenal", [ WEST, blacklist1 ], false ] call LARs_fnc_updateArsenal; fn_createlist case ( typeName sideUnknown ) : { //Add sides gear to the list _newList = _newList + ( LARs_sideGear select ( _x call BIS_fnc_sideID )); }; look here. no weapon item accessories in allgear lasers scopes bipods copytoclipboard srt Lars_allGear LARs_sideGear does though anyways. That "if _whitelist true" I wrote above works for what I need. Only thing I ran into was sidegear doesn't find addon mod weapons. So what I did was "_whitelist = _oldwhite + blacklist1" blacklist1 has all weapons including modded

omg it works!!! I made this at work and thought- naa this isn't the way you do it. ah i feel so good. type it like this [AirHQ1, "Arsenal", [ true, blacklist1 ], false ] call LARs_fnc_updateArsenal;

Thanks but i have 2 problems first Lars_allgear array doesn't include any of the weapon accessories like scopes and lasers bipods. etc. could i just pull weapons from weapons cfg or LARs_sideGear from(fn_sidegear) and use that inplace of Lars_allgear from (fn_allgear) or is Lars_allgear a structured array for arsenal the other is; fn_updatearsenal creates a list by side again. would the below work for a workaround? fn_updateArsenal.sqf line 18 _lists params[ [ "_whiteList", [ [], "", sideUnknown, true ] ], [ "_blackList", [] ] ]; _oldWhite = _box getVariable [ format[ "LARs_arsenal_%1_data", _arsenalName ], [] ]; if !( _whiteList isEqualType [] ) then { _whiteList = if ( _whiteList isEqualType true ) then { if ( _whiteList ) then { LARs_sideGear; }else{ if !( _whiteList isEqualType [] ) then { _whiteList = _oldWhite + [ _whitelist ]; }else{ _whiteList = _oldWhite + _whitelist; }; }; }; };

If TRUE the marker will act as a normal EOS zone if the player leaves the bastion zone. If *FALSE then bastion zone will turn red on the map but will not contain any units.

I made an eventhandler that deletes a few array elements for blacklist1, and updates arsenal to reflect that if (count blacklist1 > 0) then{ _tower addEventHandler ["Killed", {[blacklist1 deleterange [0,7]; AirHQ1, "Arsenal", [ west, blacklist1 ], _targets ] call LARs_fnc_updateArsenal; [ ammos, "Arsenal", [ west, blacklist1 ], _targets ] call LARs_fnc_updateArsenal;[ ammoCrate_1, "Arsenal", [ west, blacklist1 ], _targets ] call LARs_fnc_updateArsenal;}];}; you can also populate blacklist using //A blacklist that removes all secondary weapons and all weapon/respawn/special backpacks _allWeaponTypes = ["Shotgun","MissileLauncher","Launcher","RocketLauncher","SniperRifle","MachineGun","AssaultRifle","Rifle","SubmachineGun","HandGun"]; // Other types (if you like them to include): GrenadeLauncher,Launcher,MissileLauncher,Mortar,RocketLauncher //Full List: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_itemType -> section Weapon _allBannedWeapons=[]; //add banned weapons (eg M107_epoch), make shure to use the base version of the weapon //Main Script blacklist1 = []; _wpList = (configFile >> "cfgWeapons") call BIS_fnc_getCfgSubClasses; { if (getnumber (configFile >> "cfgWeapons" >> _x >> "scope") == 2) then { _itemType = _x call bis_fnc_itemType; if (((_itemType select 0) == "Weapon") && ((_itemType select 1) in _allWeaponTypes)) then { _baseName = _x call BIS_fnc_baseWeapon; if (!(_baseName in blacklist1) && !(_baseName in _allBannedWeapons)) then { blacklist1 = blacklist1 + [_baseName]; }; }; }; } foreach _wpList; reverse blacklist1; if !( isServer ) exitWith {}; _ammoBox1 = _this; //[ box, [ white, black ], targets, name, condition ] JIPID = [ _ammoBox1, [west, "blacklist1"], 0, "Arsenal", { true } ] call LARs_fnc_blacklistArsenal; JIPID = [ ammoCrate_1, [west, "blacklist1"], 0, "Arsenal", { true } ] call LARs_fnc_blacklistArsenal; JIPID = [ AIRHQ1, [west, "blacklist1"], 0, "Arsenal", { true } ] call LARs_fnc_blacklistArsenal; I Have a question though. what if I wanted to forgo the whitelist? I heard Larrow say type true in the whitelist but I get "error type bool expected array, side, string JIPID = [ AIRHQ1, [true, "blacklist1"], 0, "Arsenal", { true } ] call LARs_fnc_blacklistArsenal;

the ai knows about a vehicle, it relentlessly tries to dive bomb in a vtol. anyway to make pilot careless mode and gunners aware? _crew = creategroup west; _locPos = player getPos [1500,random (360)]; //veh = createVehicle ["B_T_vtol_01_armed_F", position player, [], 1500, "FLY"]; veh = [_locPos, 0, "B_T_vtol_01_armed_F", _crew] call bis_fnc_spawnVehicle; //createVehicleCrew veh; //sleep 1; //_crew = group ((crew _vehicle) select 0) //_crew = veh select 2; _wp=veh select 2 addWaypoint [position player, 0]; _wp setWaypointType "loiter"; _wp setWaypointLoiterType "Circle_L"; _wp setWaypointLoiterRadius 500; veh select 0 flyInHeight 500; {veh select 2 reveal _x} forEach allUnits; https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/924795891776256085/8ED84B790EE0EE65BFE89FCF57807825E9B6A3A4/ vtol should be loitering 500 meters yet he seems to like to dive the tank

can the pilot be careless and the rest of the crew aware? maybe giving separate groups would do this? i will try it

just copy the script into a sqf file and run it null=execvm "blah.sqf";

made a small script that turns on and off triggers when player isn't near since I use about 100 of them [] spawn { while {true} do { list1 = player nearObjects ["EmptyDetector", 500]; if (count (list1) > 0) then { { _x enableSimulation true; } forEach list1; }; sleep 5; }; }; [] spawn { while {true} do { waituntil {sleep 5;(count (list1) == 0)}; _alltriggers = allMissionObjects "EmptyDetector"; { _x enableSimulation false; } forEach _alltriggers; }; };

this script will wait for player to be 601 meters away from cities befor checking to see if any hills near player, then spawn a base and delete the base once player is 700 meter away. alternatively if no hills nearby, it will spawn troops 300 meters in a 30 degree spread infront of the player.

i got away with one waitUntil {sleep 50;((player distance _grp1) > 500)};
