Need help to respawn with gear
Christopher Lauritsen posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hey guys, I'm having problems with respawning my players with the gear I choose. I'm using the 'edit gear' option in the Eden editor, but when people die, they spawn with the original loadout for the chosen solider (rifleman, marksman, lmg etc). I've been trying all day, and a ton of different scripts, but I can't get anything to work out for me. Im pretty green to the whole mission creating, so any help who be appreciated. -
CustomAttributes without Eden-Editor?
Arkensor posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hey guys, Does someone know if there is a way to use CustomAttributes that you can edit in the eden editor with just the description.ext or so? I want to use the attributes for some different maps and can not edit all the maps for that, and i can not always use eden editor for it. So i search for a scripting way to get them active. To be precise i want to use the revive feature in all its power without the eden editor based map. Something like this in the description.ext does not work. Not all attributes are listed as desctiption.ext values in the BIKI ReviveRequiredTrait = 0; This is the code from the eden mission.sqm class Attribute1 { property="ReviveRequiredTrait"; expression="false"; class Value { class data { class type { type[]= { "SCALAR" }; }; value=0; }; }; }; Some attributes are withing the description.ext, but not all the required ones, you would need to control the revive feature. If anyone has an idea about this, that would be great. Regards Arkensor -
I'm trying to make an intro to a mission where it shows a group in a Prowler (light strike vehicle from Apex) driving by a group and opening fire on them as the car passes. The only problem is they aren't opening fire from within the vehicle. I had to put a script in place to prevent them from leaving the vehicle at the first sign of an enemy, and now they aren't firing when i keep them in. I tried setting them to invincible,and parking them nearby, and I notice they're throwing grenades, and targeting opponents, but never firing. Should I use a script to get them to fire non-stop, or is there a way around this?

I have a quick question about items for the new Apex expansion. My question is, If I make say, a custom bunker in Zeus on Tanoa, save it, and then try and load that into a mission on altis, will players who don't have the Apex expansion be able to see and use these items?

End game spectator mode NOT working in multiplayer even though it should. Help!
Valor Vanquisher posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hello all, first post! :D :D I need help with the "End Game" spectator that was added in a few patches ago, I got it to work on some missions I made about two months ago but now it just doesn't work at all when it should. As you can see here in this screenshot it is set work but when a player dies they basically see this endlessly I am running the game vanilla no mods so it cant be that. I did many google searches and forum searches but I literally came up with NOTHING on this issue and made a post myself to /r/Armadev but got no answers so far. This is especially weird because it worked fine before by just checking that 1 "Spectator" box...what gives? It should also be noted that I tried turning it on manually in description.ext but that didn't work either. Can someone help me with this problem please? It would be much appreciated. -
For the purpose of a multiplayer mission, I want to play as a NATO unit with access to Zeus. Normally when you access the supports tab on the Zeus screen as a unit of a specific side, you are unable to use the planes of enemy factions for air support. I understand why this is in place, but is there any way to avoid it?

ACC EqKreator v10.2 - Making equipment scripts was never so easy
GieNkoV posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hello! I'm proud to release public version of my equipment script creator - ACC EqKreator v10.2! Now ACE3 compatible! Q&A: Q: Why you created your own equipment script creator and why it is called EqKreator? A: I have got annoyed by other software/scripts functionality where you was forced to use some kind of program (LEA) or search for many items classnames and write them inside already created scripts (F3). I am not saying that these things are bad, I just wanted to create something that would suit my needs. And that is full JIP compatibility - COOP oriented - Lightweight - Easy to use script. It is called EqKreator because it creates ready to use equipment scripts for you! ;) Q: Is it based on some other mission? It looks similar to VTS by L etranger? A: Yes it is edited version of VTS v4.0 by L etranger. I have just deleted all playable slots and left GM one, and added my equipment generator script into it, also, I have added Virtual Arsenal into it. Q: Why just don't use Virtual Ammobox or add Virtual Arsenal to my mission? A: Well... you can do that, but in our community we sometimes play missions that last over 4 hours and we don't want to waste time so everyone get's equipped from scratch from VAmmobox or VArsenal or other kind of Virtual something. Also, I am mission maker and I just hate that way of assigning gear. It is me that decides what player will get. Not that player :P. That is also why EK was created. Q: There are many other scripts like this one, why should I use yours? A: Let me write down some pros of this script: It gives gear to each unit before briefing screen It is JIP friendly, you will not see this script adding gear again like other equipment scripts sometimes do You can create many equipment scripts very fast and even save them inside VArsenal or VTS Shop for further usage/editing You can see how much your unit weigh with all gear you added (using AGM or CSE) You can see unit, all gear on it and even test it :) You can assign gear to selected equipment slot (backpack, vest, fatigues) Did I mentioned that it's blazing fast and easy to use? Compatible with ACRE2/TFAR/Vanilla (in terms of removing radio IDs - everyone will get unique radio ID) Creates equipment script for vehicles too Instructions: Installing script to mission folder Installing and running EqKreator v10 mission Making equipment for units Making equipment for vehicles You may also want to look at my ACC DAC_Toolbox script if you use DAC v3 and are a mission maker! ;) Download v10.2: Dropbox link Armaholic link (not updated yet) Changelog: v10.2 Hotfixed vehicle/crate assign gear scriptv10.1 Fixed vehicle/crate assign gear script (isServer check) Styllistic updates v10 Simplified whole script Script converted to function - uses call now instead of execVM (using execVM in unit init line is highly not advised!) Added ability to assign callsigns for BFT markers from ACE3 New: immediately after assigning uniform/vest/backpack clear it from any equipment that could be added from uniform/vest/backpack default config items - no more additional unwanted items Let me know here if there are any other questions regarding this script! Licensed under APL-SA. v10.2 09-05-2016 mb GieNkoV for Arma Coop Corps community. Thanks Letranger for his VTS v4.0!!! -
Hello. I was searching for answer to this question, but couldn't find anything that can really help me. I am not so good with scripting that's why some tutorials I found were really complicated for me. So my question is, how to add custom unit in the game editor ? I created 7 characters all with custom uniforms and weapons but I would like to have them as a unit in editor so I don't have to copy/paste them every single time I start with new mission. I have them saved in notepad files. I hope you understand what I want. I am sure this was asked before so don't go hard on me for asking it again, please. You can post links to some tutorials, any help will be appreciated. :)

Hi, I'm trying to make a mission using the 3D editor based around defending a few camps. I'm trying to make it so a new task pops up after an enemy unit (zombies in this case) enter a 500M trigger, as well as playing an alarm. The trigger works fine and is reusable (cools down, replays etc). However, for the tasks, I'm not sure how to get it to 'disappear' and come back when more enemy units enter the trigger again. For example: I have the task to say what direction the enemy is coming from (It's a large camp, using NWAF on Cherno), so it'll pop up 'Defend South East Barricade'. That comes up fine when the trigger is activated by a hostile. Only thing I'm stuck on is making the task itself repeatable so it pops up again as if it never activated in the first place. I'm not bothered about the task showing up as 'successful', I just want it to pop up on the screen so the player knows where to go. Thanks in advance

Hi, on our server we are very pleased when playing at "random mission generators" Of course, first something did create these missions in editor and write script file for this. Is there a way to create something like this. -- i create unit groups and give him names like _mission1, _mission2, _mission3 -- i make the HQ at main base -- i the HQ making the computer that haves trigger to incoming players and add button "Get the mission" -- after that randomizer creates random mission at previosly defined locations _location_mission1 and generates random unit group -- add mission objective to map -- make checks for getting new mission its imposble and add item "pass mission" for script bugs i know its possible when use script file and program code. its there a way to create this with EDEN only? == 2. its there a way to append arsenal / garage to both item and how to do this in EDEN? i think - "where the player comes trigger and trying to use mousewheel - they have command arsenal / garage" and arsenal have ALL items including voices, watermarks, heads.

How to get unlimited rockets for launchers and unlimited satchel charges
Randodom posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
So yeah I like testing weapons, but I've never figured out how to have unlimited rockets for launchers or unlimited satchels. I've tried to google this many times too, but always it just leads to a script that gives unlimited ammo for "bullet weapons" (and vehicles), so now i'll ask here how to do it :) Having to constantly rearm something that has heavy rockets so that even one fills a carryall isnt so fun when I'm trying to test them. -

Folder structured compositions - possible or not?
danny96 posted a topic in ARMA 3 - DEVELOPMENT BRANCH
Now that when we have the compositions in 3den that opens whole new level of editing I'm now wondering why we can't organise / layer our compositions into folders? Are you planning to do so or is it impossible to make because It will be on Steam Workshop where you will basically have to stick with the current predefined category system? Sorry for bloating forums with it, but feedback tracker is still down and I can't seem to find any other topic to post things like this.. Cheers. -
Editing - Stable flight F/A18 Super Hornet
dragonred posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hi, i found the F18 Super Hornet mod and i have created a mission with the eden editor with both versions of the fighter, the E and F version, the F version as you probably know is "tandem-seat". So i have the empty fighter, a Munition HEMTT vehicle and two pilots, one of them the player, there is a village in which there are several OPFOR units and i have set some waypoints for the plane. It works like this -First i get in the fighter as the pilot so i can use the Service menu and select which equipment i am going to use -Then after the fighter is rearmed, then i get in the gunner seat and tell the AI pilot to get in. -I have used a trigger linked to the AI and the first waypoint, so when he gets in, it goes to the first one and then the fighter takes off perfectly. The problem is, although i have set limited speed in several waypoints the plane goes too fast so i can bomb the objetives, and also it flies at 300M height, so the fighter gets hit, and also, it is not stable at all. I have tried with the flyInHeight script, but the speed is still too high and not stable. Does anyone know how to make it fly slower, higher and more stable? And also i would like to know how to make it land when it returns to the airport. Thanks and sorry for my poor english. -
Hi all, I was working on a mission using my standard mods I use and loving EDEN until I previewed the mission - everything in preview went fine and exited back to the editor. Now all EDEN does in 3D mode is freeze, I can access the units selection box on either side but the Graphical Interface of the Map just stays put. The little 3D tool in the bottom left hand corner (its the 3D line that looks like a 1/4 of box) moves and spins but the actual maps just stays frozen looking at what it was looking at when I launched the preview. I just tested it running the game naked with no mods and I didn't have this issue - any help would be great. Tommy

How do I change a unit's name while looking at them?
defiant493 posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
I know about setName, and setIdentity, but I'm wondering how one might be able to change the name of a character when you hover over them. They would say "Rifleman", or "Team Leader." I know that when you place the units under Men (Story) their names show up as their names are, but I'm wondering how I can get a character to have a name show up as well, so that instead of "Grenadier" or something, it shows "Cpl. Dunn" or something like that. -
Where do I find the ID button in the Eden Editor? It was there in the 2D editor but now I can't find it anywhere. How will I aquire the IDs for buildings?
-
I am currently trying the Editor after the release and have found most of the functionality ok. some issues when creating a mission is units set with a certain behaviour completely ignore what you have set and do whatever they wish. I have also tried setting waypoints and they start to follow then do whatever they wish. No opposing forces present to make them change behaviour. Can anyone offer any ideas I have watched some of the videos relating to object placement and suggesting items can be put onto tables and surfaces. Having tested with many different tables and surfaces this does not work.This has never worked and still does not work in Eden. Even using 3rd Party 3d editors such as ARES in zeus to save SQM the objects just fall to the ground and MCC is very hit and miss like the ARMA 2d Editor. Is this a known bug or can anything be done to aid with this issue.

Editor : How to place units on the top floor of a building?
Agent_Orange posted a topic in ARMA 3 - PORTS
Hi all, I am new to the ARMA series and cannot work out how to add units to the top floor of a building. When looking at a building on the Editor map all I see is a big grey area with no details of the rooms inside or the floors that it has. So, when I add a static weapon it always is placed on the ground or ground floor when I actually want it to be placed on the top floor, overlooking something. Can someone please tell me or point me to a tutorial that shows how to add units to buildings that have more than one floor, say a Cargo Tower or Cargo Post for example and have those units show up on the top floor and not on at the base of the tower, on the ground where they are useless. Thanks for any assistane that can be provided. -
Can't find door with selectionPosition
kresjah posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Long story short, I'd like to get the position for the trigger of the airport entryway doors. The config files for the airport states the following: configfile >> "CfgVehicles" >> "Land_Airport_right_F" >> "UserActions" >> "OpenDoor_7" >> position = "Door_7_trigger"; So, I want to get the position of this door trigger. I've tried using selectionPosition but always get a [0, 0, 0] result (which means it didn't find the memory point). Am I doing something wrong here? Does anyone have a solution for this? This is the code I use to check for the position: * Player object's Init field player addAction ["<t color='#FFFF00'>DEBUG: </t><t>Show memory point 7 on Airport</t>", { execVM "getMemoryPointDoor.sqf"; }, nil, 9999, false, true, "", ""]; * getMemoryPointDoor.sqf private["_airport", "_memoryPoint"]; // Find nearest Airport object within a 100m radius of player _airport = (nearestObjects [player, ["Land_Airport_left_F", "Land_Airport_right_F"], 100]) select 0; if (isnil "_airport") exitwith { hint "No airport object found."; }; // Studying Land_Airport_*_F and its respective configs you'll find that the UserActions for the double sliding door entryways has trigger positions named Door_7_trigger and Door_8_trigger. // I'd assume these refer to memory points on the model? I can find no indication in the config viewer of these points being defined somewhere in the config class for the set pieces. // For this example, I've chosen to use Door_7_trigger. _memoryPoint = _airport selectionPosition ["Door_7_trigger"]; if (_memoryPoint isEqualTo [0, 0, 0]) exitwith { hint "Airport object found, but failed to retrieve memory point position."; }; hint format["Position of memory point: %1", _memoryPoint]; -

Scenarios play out differently in (shift) preview mode
Roach_ posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
So as you may know (I didn't until today), you can preview the whole scenario you're creating (briefing, etc) by holding down SHIFT and click 'preview', and, for some reason, they play out quite differently: First thing I noticed was that ambientAnim didn't play any animations on the units, instead, they were in a frozen state with their weapons pointed forwards. Basically, it was as if 'disableAI "ANIM"' had been executed instead. Quit the preview and tried again and from that point on, the function worked. I've noticed many other scenarios and campaigns from other people that suffered from frozen units as well. Then, on a smaller, less impacting way, in the init file I added a code to add the TF Aegis insignia to all west units. It worked, but somehow it removed the insignias from the player's group which I had previously added from each unit's init. So why's this? -
ARMA mission editor newbie with a few scripting questions
Agent_Orange posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hi all, I am a Linux user who is new to the ARMA franchise. I have been having a crack at putting together a simple, vanilla mission whilst waiting for the game to be updated from version 1.42 to 1.54 and am wondering if someone could help me sort out a few issues I have encountered during testing. 1. I found that 2 missiles from a chopper will take down a Military Cargo Tower. I can't have that and am wondering if there is a script to make a building indestructible? 2. Is it possible to restrict the use of artillery, so the Scorcher, Sandstorm and mortars are not available? 3. AA units that I have placed on the side of a mountain do not change weapon and fire when an enemy chopper flies past. Is there a script that forces them to use the AA missile launcher as their primary weapon AND actually fire it when an enemy air unit flies into range? 4. I have a speedboat on patrol and would like it to refuel/re-arm when the patrol is complete. I am having difficulty in getting the boat to manouver alongside the pier where I have a Taru fuel pod and 2 boxes of vehicle ammo stationed using the "move" waypoint. ( I could probably get it so that it works with more tweaking and previewing but am hoping that there is an easier way or some kind of "refuel" option). 5. Finally, could someone please tell me if the mission I am creating using version 1.42 is going to transfer successfully to version 1.54 when my version of the game is updated? Thanks for any assistance that can be provided.
