Hey guys, The Question is if it is possible to get a list of objects shown in vehicles radar? The reason is that I am working on some little FSM scripts to enhance A.I. shooting from vehicles. Until now I have a zu-39 tigris with this "Tigris Flak Conversion Script". The vanilla ai begins to shoot only if the directly attacking plane (a10) has passed the tigris. My FSM script enhanced that behavior and now tigris begins to shoot if A-10 is about 1.000 m away. Maybe I can optimize it some more. Why I need that radar objects? I want the tigris to target and shoot the A-10 only if it appears on the radar of tigris.

This used to work (last time I used it was a couple of months ago) but now it doesn't: _unit action [ "DropWeapon", ("GroundWeaponHolder" createVehicle (position _unit)), (primaryWeapon _unit) ]; _unit will perform the action/drop weapon anim, but the weapon remains in his hands. Obviously, I could just use removeWeapon, but this is more for the aesthetics of it as the player is likely to have eyes on _unit. Has this broken/changed or anything since Eden? edit: Scratch that, I must have changed some things that I forgot about. It used to be a handgun hat was dropped, not primary, so I'll probably just go back to that. But what would stop this working with primary weapons?

Using the 'drop cargo' waypoint, an AI helicopter carrying a vehicle takes a very long time to descend and release its cargo, even in very open fields. It will slow down, approach the landing site, then suddenly veer off at speed, circle the area a few times, and try again. This can repeat for many times before the cargo is finally dropped. I'm using version: 1.56.134627, on the main branch, Windows 10. Here is a link to an example mission: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByElbgVZoI3SYVJmWEF2RnpqNlU/view?usp=sharing (The Hurons carrying the Hunters demonstrate this behaviour. The Slammer is being dropped using some code.)

If you set a group of Assault boats to move to a waypoint, it works fine.... UNLESS their behaviour is set to 'careless'. If it's set to careless, they either move very very slowly, or not at all. This is on Windows 10, 64-bit, latest version of normal-branch Arma (Eden-update), as of 19/02/2016.

Hello i am newbie to scripting and arma3 editing and i can't find an answer to this: I spawn a group of AI infantry and a truck (will be 2 IFVs when i get it to work) then set the waypoint so the AI infantry group board the truck. I had no success yet. The AI infantry group move then stand still near the truck and do nothing. I would be glad if anyone can tell me what i am doing wrong. This is the code for the truck: And this is the code for the infantry group:

I make missions for my small group of friends. We have this one guy who really likes flying helos, so I made a mission where he can fly around and give us CAS, then refuel/restock ammo and stuff. The thing is.. Every single enemy on the whole map turn their gun upward and fire at the helo, making it impossible to stay in the air for more than a couple of minutes. And it also lags the shit out of the server. So I was thinking.. Is it possible to make the enemy AI stop firing at the helo but not take away all the realism? Like, they only fire at the helo if it is, say 50 meter away? Or worst case, just fire at the pilot if he exits the helo? Anyone care to help? Im no scripting expert, I mostly just use pretty basic scripting.

Hi all, earlier somebody asked about a "Firing Drill" for AI to shoot at a target/area. I also noticed several other people over time have asked about this and got little response. I've created this simple to use script to allow the above, it could also be used to make ambient shots at a target or for a cinematic if you needed something specific. WHAT YOU NEED - A game logic named "nofireobject" - A named Target to shoot at -WH_Firing_Drill.sqf http://puu.sh/mUJyf/a02e876d1a.txt (Also below in spoiler) HOW TO USE // Place into INIT field of unit you want to use the script with.null = [this,TARGETNAME,timebetweentriggerpull,#OFBULLETSTOSHOOT,waittimeafterallroundsfired]; EXAMPLES:null = [this,TARG1,0.5,6,15] execVM "WH_Firing_drill.sqf";-- Unit fires at TARG1 every 0.5 seconds, unit fires 6 shots and waits 15 seconds to repeat after the 6 shots were fired.null = [this,TARG2,3,2,6] execVM "WH_Firing_drill.sqf";-- Unit fires at TARG2 every 0.3 seconds, unit fires 2 shots and waits 6 seconds to repeat after the 2 shots were fired.null = [this,TARG1,2.5,30,10] execVM "WH_Firing_drill.sqf";-- Unit fires at TARG1 every 2.5 seconds, unit fires 30 shots and waits 10 seconds to repeat after the 30 shots were fired. TO DO:- Allow complete end of script, so unit no longer shoots at targets. - Ability to choose what weapon type to shoot instead of just what is currently held. [iE Missiles or Miniguns in a Pawnee] [Or a mixture?] ISSUES: - After firing loop, AI looks around for other threats

I started muddying the water in dev branch ai discussion thread and it was getting confusing. So this thread is for General Ai discussion on any branch. As KeyCat requested please post -Build # -AI settings -relevant AI mods active I just want to thank Greenfist for the continued mission development. It has been extremely fun using it to test the various aspects of the AI. The long term goal would be to help narrow down some desired changes to AI through testing. In any case... These two videos display some of the differences we are talking about... So the main thing I'm looking at now is trying to take the two scenarios and narrow down what i modified ages ago in the settings and then get that working. I would love to see the first video reaction for a silenced shot and say a slightly less "uber human" reaction to non silenced shots. ======================================================================== This Video uses a modified AceAi .pbo ======================================================================== This Video uses default vanilla Arma.

Werthles' Headless Module (now v2.0!) Fully configurable module to give headless clients control of editor/script/Zeus AI. -->TUTORIAL VIDEO - CLICK HERE<-- Albert is the name of my headless client...

Edit your mission, adding a WH Setup Module, found under "Headless Modules". Configure the parameters as appropriate for your mission. Add an "Ignore" module if required. Add playable, uniquely named, headless clients. Save your mission as a multiplayer mission. Set up your server and headless clients Play your mission! Players, HCs and the server need to run the WHM mod in order to play. Part 3 of this guide is how I set up dedicated servers and headless clients: Werthles Headless Kit Guide http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=459917508 Setup Module Parameters: Headless clients to be used Repeating checks for spawned AI Time to wait between repeats 3D debug mode for all or just admins Balance the number of AI units on each HC, and rebalance when uneven Delay between module activation and HC setup starting Time between each HC transfer, to aid stability Initial setup report Phrases the module should ignore when checking AI for the HC (can be whole/part unit names/group names/unit type/synced module name) If certain units need to remain controlled by (local to) the server, simply sync these units to an ignore module. Compatibility When combining with mods that require setup time, try increasing the WHM startup delay or activate the module on a trigger, so WHM setup starts afterwards. ALiVE Compatibility ALiVE Profiles: Attach "WH Setup Module" to a radio trigger (or similar solution), then activate once in game (else profiles do not load or save correctly). ALiVE Support Modules: Give the group a distinct callsign, then add this to the list of units to ignore within the "WH Setup Module".Please let me know if you find an issue with this and any mods. I will list any issues found here. I would like to make this compatible with as many mods as possible! Headless Client Tips: Headless Clients must be set as playable and have a unique name. HCs cannot connect to client internet multiplayer servers, only local servers or dedicated servers. This is because IPs cannot be whitelisted with these servers. HCs can only connect to servers which are passworded. WHM will change the locality of the AI being transferred to HCs. This can interfere with some scripts. If it does, you can use the "Ignore" module to stop WHM from giving the HC control of individual groups.

I'm making a mission about Polish police where you need to chase criminals. I've placed Surrender Module so after some time of chasing, criminals stopping their cars, getting out them and surrendering. That's a perfect moment for mission to end. How to make a trigger that activates by their surrendering? Thanks!
