No. Just leave the server and come back.

AI cant even drive yet, give it another few months.

I have found another way, this blocks the pilot seat in Ghosthawk but allows the CoPilot seat, and blocks the "Take Controls" action. But it also stops ground vehicles. How can I restrict it to air vehicles? inGameUISetEventHandler ["Action", " if (!((_this select 0) getVariable ['disableGetIn',false]) && (_this select 3) in ['GetInDriver','GetInPilot','GetInGunner','GetInCommander','TakeVehicleControl','UnlockVehicleControl']) then { true } "]; It does allow the use of the Miniguns in the helicopter though. So nearly there. This is a finished version. I did not realize that _this select 0 was the vehicle. inGameUISetEventHandler ["Action", " if (!((_this select 0) getVariable ['disableGetIn',false]) && ((_this select 0) isKindOf 'Air') && (_this select 3) in ['GetInDriver','GetInPilot','GetInGunner','GetInCommander','TakeVehicleControl','UnlockVehicleControl']) then { true } "]; This works just fine. You can get in ground vehicles and not helis as a non-pilot. Now it is finished.

Try this.

Running this in PreInit is instant, this is a better approach. class KER { tag = "KER"; class functions { file = "functions"; class replace{ PreInit = 1; }; class teim{}; class icons{}; class welcome{}; }; }; Set up the CfgFunctions like this and put the code in the replace() function. {{hideObject _x} count nearestTerrainObjects [_x,["TREE","SMALL TREE","BUSH","HIDE"],30] } forEach (([worldSize/2,worldSize/2] nearRoads (worldSize/1.4)) select {getRoadInfo _x#1 < 7}) Then the code will run extremely fast before the main mission loads. Even this is very fast. {{hideObject _x} count nearestTerrainObjects [_x,["TREE","SMALL TREE","BUSH","HIDE"],90] } forEach (([worldSize/2,worldSize/2] nearRoads (worldSize/1.4)) select {getRoadInfo _x#1 < 7})

I am using this example to print procedural text on a billboard, but how do I print text from a variable in the middle of the text? It would be convenient to print the player`s name or something? #(rgb,1024,512,3)text(0,0,"rhs_digital_font", 0.1, "#302c64", "#302cff", "Hello and welcome\nto the server.") This would be much more useful this way.

Here is a good solution though, this will block all non-pilots from Pilot and Copilot seats. player addEventhandler ["GetInMan", { params ["_unit", "", "_vehicle"]; if (_vehicle isKindOf "Air" && { !(_vehicle isKindOf "ParachuteBase") && { !((vehicle _unit getCargoIndex _unit)>=0) && { !((toUpper typeOf _unit find toUpper "Pilot") > -1)} } }) then { _unit moveOut _vehicle; }; }]; player addEventhandler ["SeatSwitchedMan", { params ["_unit", "", "_vehicle"]; if (_vehicle isKindOf "Air" && { !(_vehicle isKindOf "ParachuteBase") && { !((vehicle _unit getCargoIndex _unit)>=0) && { !((toUpper typeOf _unit find toUpper "Pilot") > -1)} } }) then { _unit moveOut _vehicle; }; }];

I am working on this event handler to block non-pilots from helis, but this will block players from getting in the passenger spot, and it blocks the scroll menu options when using a drone. inGameUISetEventHandler ["Action", " if (((toUpper typeOf player find toUpper 'Pilot') < 2) && (_this # 0 iskindof 'helicopter') || (_this # 0 iskindof 'plane') && (_this select 3) in ['GetInDriver','GetInPilot','GetInGunner','GetInCommander','GetInCargo']) then { true } else {false}; "]; Am I missing something simple? Player can still get in a ground vehicle, but not helis.

This is a modern updated version. [missionNamespace,"OnGameInterrupt", { _this spawn { params ["_display"]; _display displayCtrl 2 ctrlShow false; _display displayCtrl 103 ctrlShow false; _display displayCtrl 115099 ctrlShow false; _display displayCtrl 523 ctrlShow false; _display displayCtrl 104 ctrlSetText "Quit current mission..."; _display displayCtrl 2 ctrlSetBackgroundColor [0.7, 0.3, 0.9, 1]; _display displayCtrl 1005 ctrlSetText format ["CO80 Afghan ops. %1 : Arma 3 v%2.%3!", "1.80", (productVersion select 2), (productVersion select 3)]; _display displayCtrl 120 ctrlSetText "Enemy insurgents have invaded Afghanistan. Destroy their assets and remove all enemies. This must be carried out in a humanitarian way, minimising damage to civilian assets."; _display displayCtrl 6455 ctrlShow true; _display displayCtrl 6455 ctrlSetText format ["%1", profileName]; }; }] call BIS_fnc_addScriptedEventHandler; This works properly on a dedicated server.

This is a better version, it seems to work very well. private _cpbSoundList = [ "A3\Sounds_F\environment\ambient\battlefield\battlefield_explosions1.wss", "A3\Sounds_F\environment\ambient\battlefield\battlefield_explosions2.wss", "A3\Sounds_F\environment\ambient\battlefield\battlefield_explosions3.wss", "A3\Sounds_F\environment\ambient\battlefield\battlefield_explosions4.wss", "A3\Sounds_F\environment\ambient\battlefield\battlefield_explosions5.wss", "A3\Sounds_F\environment\ambient\battlefield\battlefield_firefight1.wss", "A3\Sounds_F\environment\ambient\battlefield\battlefield_firefight2.wss", "A3\Sounds_F\environment\ambient\battlefield\battlefield_firefight3.wss", "A3\Sounds_F\environment\ambient\battlefield\battlefield_firefight4.wss", "A3\Sounds_F\environment\ambient\battlefield\battlefield_heli1.wss", "A3\Sounds_F\environment\ambient\battlefield\battlefield_heli2.wss", "A3\Sounds_F\environment\ambient\battlefield\battlefield_heli3.wss", "A3\Sounds_F\environment\ambient\battlefield\battlefield_jet1.wss", "A3\Sounds_F\environment\ambient\battlefield\battlefield_jet2.wss", "A3\Sounds_F\environment\ambient\battlefield\battlefield_jet3.wss" ]; private _cpbTarget = player; private _cpbSoundObject = player; private _cpbMinDistance = 400; private _cpbMaxDistance = 900; private _cpbMedDistance = 600; while {true} do { _dir = round random 360; _dis = round random [_cpbMinDistance,_cpbMedDistance,_cpbMaxDistance]; private _cpbSoundPosition = _cpbTarget getRelPos [_dis, _dir]; playSound3D [_cpbSoundList call BIS_fnc_selectRandom, _cpbSoundObject, false, _cpbSoundPosition, 5, 1, 0]; sleep (random [30, 40, 60]); };

Do it like this. { _x hideObjectGlobal TRUE; } foreach (nearestTerrainObjects [[14620.6,16776.1,0],[],500] select {getModelInfo _x #0 in ["t_phoenixc1s_f.p3d","t_oleae1s_f.p3d","wreck_car_f.p3d","wreck_offroad2_f.p3d","junkpile_f.p3d","b_ficusc1s_f.p3d","garbagepallet_f.p3d","t_phoenixc3s_f.p3d","garbagebags_f.p3d","garbagewashingmachine_f.p3d","t_ficusb1s_f.p3d","t_ficusb2s_f.p3d"]}); This hides via the model name. This can hide anything and runs best in a preinit function. Run it like this. Setup the fn_replace function in CfgFunctions as shown below. class replace{ file = "functions\fn_replace.sqf"; preInit = 1; }; Then it will run in mission preinit and hide trees or junk, anything you wish to be hidden.

My game crashes when I try to use the South Asia terrain. It is too big, 400 sq KM is the max in Arma 3. Just play DCS if you want a Flight Sim. The RV 4 engine cannot really handle such huge maps.

No. Just play a proper VR game. This looks promising. Phantom: Covert Ops. Or just wait for Arma 4.

I have found a few old Arma files on an old HDD. I am uploading it to a Mega folder, I will then link it to see if there is anything useful there. I found things like the old Baghdad mod and Podagorsk. I even have the 0.42 version of the ADF Uncut mod. As well as the RDS Static weapons pack. Here is the link. I have uploaded quite a few old files. Might be a few gems in here. https://mega.nz/folder/IhJRmQzD#FpLgaqrldueA6bPM0ioWMg

You can spawn missing assets like this if you know the classname. create3DENEntity ["Object", "Land_Communication_anchor_F", screenToWorld [0.5,0.5]]; This works very well indeed. Then you can move it around and set properties like normal.
