So, I'm currently working on a mission with a fixed object to access the arsenal (ACE). This arsenal however should only be accessible to the pilots role to deliever logistics. Unfortunately there are some players in the group that won't listen to strict rules, saying that no one shall go there and access the arsenal. So I was wondering if there is a way or a script to either: a) Kill any player (except of the pilots and the zeus), force them to respawn, when they step into a trigger area or b) show only the zeus via a hint that Player1 has entered the trigger area to which the zeus can react himself. I'd prefer the killing method however. If someone has an idea I'd be happy to know and hear about it. THX

So I’m new to coding in general and thought I’d try out scripting in arma 3, I have written code but it does not do as intended. And I don’t even know if I’m using the right commands, I’m done trying to rack my brain scouring BI script command list and random YouTube videos if anyone know how to achieve this please post it here or reference me to where I can get help. so here’s what I want to do: 1. Give variable name in Eden editor. 2. Get variable name given in Eden editor for reference in script as a “class”. 3. Use variable name “class” to run a specific script. plot example: Object (unit) variable name given in editor = Assault //in script code to get the variable name of “This” unit. code to check if the variable name is equal to a specific class name. code that executes another code if the check returns true. if you have any insight on how to achieve this or even close to it please reply

My brother and I are attempting to use GTXgaming as a server host and although we got it to run once with mods, it crashed. He ran it last night and is saying - "The assets used set off exploding all at once then I guess Helios took off somehow with no pilots so stuff it normally shouldn’t" Seeing that there are some lines of warning that some things don't exist. Is this something to do with whether we have it on the server side or client side? Any help is appreciated, Thank you for your time

Sooo.... I'm currently working on a mission, using the Mi-24G by RHS. The only problem me and other players of my clan encountered were that the helicopter has no missile warning system. Or at least it has one which doesn't work. Over the HUD is like a picture of the helicopter with lamps surrounding it. A lamp would light up at the clock direction a missile would be coming from. Unfortunately not even the vanilla Spike launchers manage do get this thing working. So I was wondering if there might me some sort of script which allows me to have a working missile warning system. Even if its on one of the side MFDs. Thanks in advance!

Good Day fellow Gamers, My name is Super Jerome and at some point I was heavy into modding Exile mod. A few years back I made a guide to help players with setting up and modding their server. It was mainly geared toward hosted servers and changing your pbo files. It appears that the original link that I used all those years back is now no longer available. Recently I have been receiving request to view the guide although I have no idea where people are finding the old link from. In any case below is a link for a guide on various different facets of setting up and changing a ARMA 3 Exile server. I'm currently digging up all of my old content and will list more useful things in the future. The guide is a bit dated, however, still very useful. Exile Server Owners Guide

Hello, there are many ways to create an IED script but many things involve public or external variables, triggers and many stuff that makes it complex. This is a simple script that you also can use as function for multiple objects and triggers the IED automatically with just one script line inside the object you'd like to blow up. Does this work in multiplayer? Yes, it works in MultiPlayer and SinglePlayer How does this script work? As soon as AI or a player walks near it, it just explodes, leaving scripted debriefs and craters based on explosion intensity. Parameters It accept 3 parameters: - currentObject → it is the object in the editor that you trigger to explode; - iedIntensity → It used 3 level of intensity (how big is the blast), obviously you can put 1, 2 or 3. - isCar → boolean value (true, false) if is a car, if true keeps wreck of the vehicle. How do I call the script? Just open the object you'd like to have an IED and put the following line: [this, 1, true] execVM "iedBlast.sqf"; iedBlast.sqf //Uncomment following if used as function //params["_currentObject","_iedIntensity","_isCar"]; //Uncomment following if used as script _currentObject = _this select 0; _iedIntensity = _this select 1; _isCar = _this select 2; _positionCrater = getPosATL(_currentObject); _debriesCount = 0; _exploded = false; while { !_exploded } do { //Check if players are around { if((_x distance _currentObject) < 5) then { _exploded = true; }; } forEach allUnits; if(_exploded) then { switch(_iedIntensity) do { case 1: { _bombType = "M_Titan_AT" createVehicle (getPos _currentObject); soilCrater = "Land_ShellCrater_01_F" createVehicle ([0,0,0]); _debriesCount = 3; }; case 2: { _bombType = "Bo_Mk82" createVehicle (getPos _currentObject); soilCrater = "Land_ShellCrater_02_small_F" createVehicle ([0,0,0]); _debriesCount = 10; }; case 3: { _bombType = "IEDLandBig_Remote_Ammo" createVehicle (getPos _currentObject); soilCrater = "Land_ShellCrater_02_large_F" createVehicle ([0,0,0]); _debriesCount = 15; }; }; soilCrater setPos _positionCrater; //---Keep Car Wreck--- if(!_isCar) then { deletevehicle _currentObject; } else { _currentObject setDammage 1; }; //---Spawning debries--- //Land_ShellCrater_02_debris_F for "_i" from 1 to _debriesCount do { _distance = [2, _debriesCount] call BIS_fnc_randomInt; _direction = [0,359] call BIS_fnc_randomInt; _randomPos = [_positionCrater, _distance, _direction] call BIS_fnc_relPos; "Land_ShellCrater_02_debris_F" createVehicle _randomPos; }; }; };

About Us: (Semi-Serious, US EST, Multi-Era, Main Operation Attendance Encouraged) We are Trident Defense and Research OUR OPERATION TYPES: Ops range from HVT, Search and Destroy, to high tension Stealth Insertion and data retrieval. The era's we operate in constantly change and can range from time periods in WW2 to futuristic depending on what the unit votes. Branches: OPSCOM: Callsign "MERLIN" is high command (ZEUS) UNIT COMMANDER : Eagle GROUND COMBAT ELEMENT: Callsign "SCYTHE" is our backbone and the primary boots on the ground within the unit, their tasking can range from infiltration to full on assaults. Our ground forces are led by Team Leaders and NCO's, these positions grant people the ability to team lead and overall instruct what goes on with the ground forces during operations. As an operator your kit is based mostly on your choice aside from era restrictions. If you want to run an MG one day and a rifle another, you can. The only restrictions are medical roles since verification of skill in that field is required. SPECIALISTS: Callsign "OUTCAST" is our recon force, their primary goal is to join in on ops early to gain intel and take photos of key enemy installations and post it to our battle information channel. (ATTENDANCE IS REQUIRED) SUPPORT ELEMENT: Anything that isn’t boots on ground or close to it. Support can be considered as our Armored elements, Air power or Logistics, Support, and Artillery. If you value the use of vehicles over small arms, this is the branch for you. Both elements work in tandem together during operations. AS STATED THERE ARE TWO ELEMENTS IN OUR SUPPORT SECTION: - AIR/ARMOR/UAV: Callsign “SABER” is our multipurpose support group that handles both Planes and Tanks. CAS, CASEVAC, Airstrikes, UAV support, etc. Anything that needs a crew is under their domain. - LOGISTICS AND SUPPORT: Callsign “WARHAMMER” are combat engineers and artillery men that can be sent out to build and construct FOBS, fortify key positions, resupply the ground combat element, or destroy targets with their fire support.

REQ: Age requirement of at least fifteen or older, and can speak English. This is a US East server. Side operations are optional, but Main operation attendance is encouraged. A working microphone, joining our discord,teamspeak 3, and modlist is required. RULES Be respectful of the other individuals in the server (Jokes are Jokes but do not openly harass staff or other members with malicious intent) If you have an issue let someone know, do not send unwanted private messages to people on the same level as you with an issue. Bring it up with someone in Operations for it to be solved. We are here to have fun, things are light outside of ops but in ops try to keep yourself focused on the op and with it at the center. Don't take items or weapons that do not exist in the era we are in (IE don't use WW2 gear in a future op) Contribute to what is done in ops, don't just lone wolf or specifically go out of your way to use equipment that will screw over a team instead of finding stuff that'll work with everyone else. Application process Just join the discord (https://discord.gg/JdbHsmetfp) and speak to one of our recruiters to get rolled and slotted. Currently in need of experienced or aspiring zeuses.

Hello, I am looking for a few people to join my community Derbyshire RP Altis Life, I have little experience with Arma 3 editing however I am willing to work alongside any potential candidates and learn how to do things myself also.

I'm currently editing my trainings mission with some spawning and admin management stuff and i noticed a new error that pops up when the mission is started. params["_player"]; if (!(isNull (findDisplay 999))) exitWith { closeDisplay 2; }; createDialog "adminMenu"; The code is from my openMenu function and the above mentioned error is thrown at line 3. Can't really tell where the issue lies, i already tried to remove the semicolon at "closeDisplay 2" but the result is the same!

Should the Arma 3 Steam Workshop be curated? I ask this because for year upon year now addon authors have been fighting against those people who choose re-upload content to the Steam Workshop without permission nor license to do so. Those users could instead create a Collection on Steam, a collection creates a list of published items, a list that is then available on Steam for anyone to subscribe to and the mods within that list will be downloaded by Steam onto their computers. Instead they choose to re-upload content when they have no legal rights to do so. The community up to now has been working together to fight against these breaches of IP rights, license and permission by reporting offenders to the appropriate authors, who will then file DMCA take-down notices on the uploaders. Following on from this happening en-mass the community collaborated to create the Workshop Crawler, which offers many authors a relatively quick way to search the Arma 3 Workshop for their own content and flag up any items which match their own, these are re-uploads. For those in the know, and those with the ability to read, by submitting content for publication onto the Steam Workshop you are signing a license agreement with Valve that states you have read, understand and agree with the Steam Workshop license and that you have full license and IP/Author rights on the content you are submitting to the Steam Workshop for publication on to their platform. By these people submitting content they do not own nor have license or permission to they are immediately breaking the license they are signing. Steam offers a report function on every item, where you can submit a DMCA take-down notice. For all intents and purposes they have done their part in providing a means for authors to report IP theft and file DMCA complaints on content hosted on their platform. (I'm not going to go into the technicalities of the actions that happen after filing a DMCA report as that would be quite lengthy and not the purpose of this thread.) After a DMCA claim is validated and the item is removed from Steam, they do not punish nor block these accounts from being able to submit content. (If they have some internal flagging system then the existence of it is down to pure speculation, Valve do not make public how they handle the Workshop or accounts with DMCA strikes against them.) Up until now anyone can at any time, provided they have the Arma 3 game on their Steam account, upload any content to the Steam Workshop. This is a good thing in principle because it gives everyone the freedom to publish their own content. The downside to this is that anyone is also free to publish content which they have no rights nor permissions to and are not the authors of that content. This is where the old honesty-based system that the Arma community relied on prior to Steam integration breaks down - because there is no way to prevent these users from re-uploading any content what so ever. If those users have items removed from the Workshop due to a valid DMCA claim, they are free to re-upload that content again, and they can just rinse and repeat this cycle if they wish to do so. If the Arma 3 Steam Workshop was a Curated Workshop, each item submitted for publication would need to be reviewed pending submission, those items would then be reviewed by the game developer/curation team and with a clean bill of health they would be published on the Steam Workshop. Similarly, if they were deemed to not have a clean bill of health they would not be published and the author notified of any reasons why. By curating the Workshop you would immediately close the door on people re-uploading content they do not have license or rights to, as well as having the ability to prevent the publishing of items which contain any IP from other titles. Bohemia publicly state that they openly support content creators, modding and the community that surrounds them. They could show that community support by actively Curating the Workshop, a service which would give those authors back the time they are currently having to spend on protecting their IP, instead they could get back to creating more free content for the community! You already have a trusted community moderation team on these forums, their scope could be extended to include the curation of the Workshop or extended to assist any curation team you create. Fix this problem before it gets even worse, when DayZ gets a Steam Workshop this problem will only become exacerbated.

─────── Structure ─────── Motivation Introduction Features Benchmarks Installation Usage Final words Changelog Requirements Download Screenshots ─────── Motivation ─────── Hello there, first I want to talk about why I made this - well there is a pretty simple reason. As a developer and as server owner you always need logs. You need logs to write debug messages, you need logs to make statistics for your squad, you need logs to be able to have a look on who did what when. Logs are awesome, and without them it would take much longer to find an error or to find out who shot who first, or how many players were on your server today. Let us have a look on the game log itself, the rpt log. It provides errors, if you have got some, and gives some debug information about startup and shutdown of the game. However since there are some errors in the game that write a nice little message every 1-2 seconds into the log-file, the rpt gets larger and larger ... and now find the one line you need. Imagine, you are a server owner, and you want to keep track on who connected when on your squad server for you and some friends. Why ? Well you like it to stalk other people, or wanted to play NSA simulator 2016. You could log who connected, with which player-ID and so on ... but where do these logs go? Well I always had to log into the rpt file. Often I search for one line which is between 1000 of other lines. That does not only take time, but it might also happen, that you do not find the line, even if you go through everything 10 times. That is where I had the idea, well ... why not create an extension where you decide where logs are placed, in which format, how they are named, if they should have got a time stamp, if this time stamp should be in 12 or 24 hour format etc. I wanted a simple extension where you setup a config, and then just call a function with content, and maybe optional a name which is used for separation. Simple but fast, with options, so that you can get logs from ArmA just the way you want it. I already made a extension called Arma3Log a while ago but I was new into extension writing, and you could have seen that ... it was slow and not very useful... but I wanted to do better and here we are. ─────── Introduction ─────── A3log is a lightweight logging extension for ArmA III, which allows it's users to write customized log-files with a very high performance. It is very easy to use, and does not require and advanced skills for the setup, or the usage. The log-files are adjustable in nearly every way, you could come up with in case of writing log-files. Even when dealing with a high amount of data, the server will not be slowed down and there is no data loss. As it is still in development, there will be improvements to the speed and the amount of features / settings. ─────── Features ─────── Timestamp inside the logfile Timestamp (Date) within the filename Extend the filename with the minute of creation Changeable timestamp format 12/24H clock Custom directory to place the logs (Full-/Relative path) Choose the name of the file Choose the file-extension Define a unlimited amount of custom log categories Separate each log category as one folder Define path and name of the configuration ini ─────── Benchmarks ─────── 1000 lines with 100 characters each: 0.052 seconds - diag_log 0.0159998 seconds - A3log (with all features enabled at v1.1) Extreme example: 100.000 lines with 100 charaters each: 55,895 seconds - diag_log 15,2 seconds - A3log (with all features enabled at v1.1) Note: The test conditions for the benchmarks were reset for every run. The value in seconds is the middle value of 10 test runs. The time indicates how long it took for ArmA to process the input and output of the extension, so how long the server was under heavy load to send the content to the extension. ─────── Installation ─────── Download the latest version (See download section for that) Extract the @A3Log folder and place it in your server directory Go into the @A3Log folder and make sure the the A3Log.dll is not blocked Edit the A3Log.ini file to fit your personal need -> Save the file Edit your startup file and add @A3Log to your -serverMod / -mod parameter Optional: To specify from where the config should be loaded you can define startup a paramter for the arma3server executable with "-A3Log=Configurations/Mylogs.ini" (Only paths in your arma3server directory are allowed so in this case you would have a folder called Configurations inside of your serversetup and in that you have the config file called Mylogs.ini) - This feature is WIP Remove the A3Log_examples.pbo inside @A3Log/addons, once it worked for you and you got example log files Done ─────── Usage ─────── The A3Log.pbo provides you with the A3Log function, which you can call from anywhere. In addiotion to that there is a serverside PublicVariableEventHandler (sendlogfile) to catch incoming log entries, which may be send via publicVariableServer So an example for serverside use would be: ["I am Superman!"] call A3Log; This one has no category defined, so it goes into the catch all log (See A3Log.ini for this) --- ["I am Batman!","ExampleLog"] call A3Log; This one goes into the ExampleLog.log, or what ever you called it. An example for sending a log from a client / headless client would be: sendlogfile = ["I am Batman!","ExampleLog"]; publicVariableServer "sendlogfile"; You might need to whitelist this in the publicvariable.txt from Battleye with !="sendlogfile" --- Or if you prefer remoteExec ["I am Batman!","ExampleLog"] remoteExecCall ["A3Log", 2]; //2 = send to server only and call is much faster Note: You would need to whitelist A3Log as a function that can only be executed on the server. --- So to describe the usage in general: The function A3Log (Serverside) handles the input and sends it to the A3Log extension. <Paramter> call A3Log; --- <Paramter> is an array [], which you can send up to 2 paramters in. [<text>,<category (This second one is optional)>] call A3Log; Attention! - If you want to rewrite the function that sends the log message to the extension, you need to include the information separator byte, which can be used in ArmA like this: <bla bla text> + toString[31] + <your-cool-category> //This all is from variable type string --- You can use this extension as client mod too, just make sure to disable Battleye, as the dll would get blocked by BE otherwise. ─────── Final words ─────── I will provide some additional usage examples and code snippets inside the A3Log_examples.pbo in the future. This is not a drag and drop everything will be logged for every mission you use addon. You still need to invest some time into the configuration and your setup, what you want to log. Since there are many versions of missions, which all differ in their code like an eventhandler for being killed or something, I can not provide code that fits with just a simple copy and paste. How ever I offer everybody to send me a request on these forums or via arkensor@gmail.com so that I can help him with either the setup or write some lines of code from him. I will expand this extension with my own ideas, and requests you guys might have, and it would be great to have some feedback on this. At this point I would like to thank Killzone_Kid, for making a great documentation and tutorials about extensions, which made me start with extension making for arma3. And thanks to my teammate Maurice for helping me with some magic c++ code! If you want to support me and my work, you can send me a donation via paypal.

Screenshots of what is happening: https://imgur.com/gallery/Cu1YUHX I cannot figure out how to get regular units to appear in the Respawn > Loadouts tab of the Zeus menu, on community maps. They appear just fine on Bohemia's default Zeus missions, but on any Zeus mission made by myself or the community the loadout screen stays blank. This is very annoying when wanting to play scenarios in Total Conversion mods, where I'd like my players to be able to respawn as various units from the mod's available roster. (Space Marines in There Is Only War, Stormtroopers in SW: Opposition, etc). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey, I'm new to this so please bear with me. I am looking for front view images of 2035 UN Peacekeepers (Canadian Army, woodland camouflage pattern with blue UN helmet covers and blue vests). I currently do not have any access whatsoever to Arma 3, and I'm trying to get a good visual reference for my writing project that features the lore of Arma 3. here's what I found originally, however they are only the back view and side view: https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/832512818119062953/5E7FE33B2D02C81A883B7BA1ACE39FDB7E63C94C/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false and https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/832512818119062328/61B9BA541F45BE1FAB2808AE829F04D96AB72CD3/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false Preferrably with a MX rifle (RCO hybrid optic mounted) thanks for working with me, I hope you all are doing well!

Old school Chernarus wasteland! We have reached the final stage of development. Now we need your help to stress test, find errors and most importnantly - make suggestions on the server. We re-launched last year aswell and the server population got up to 80 players in the evenings! This time we have made a lot of improvements so excpect us to last longer this time. 📷 The open beta test starts TONIGHT, September 19 at 5 PM CET or 18:00 MSK. The server itself launches later this month. More info on our Discord : https://discord.gg/xb5ejV2R Also check out our Steam group: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/tcfwasteland

Got a Vanilla Server Working great, but when I attempt to add mod files into the server and try to join through the launcher the server is reading it differently. (E.g. (The server has: CBA_A3 V1.23.4)( I Have: CBA_A3) ) I realise the issue is that the mods are different due to the file names, but how can I rectify this issue on the server.

The purpose of this thread is to discuss upcoming updates of Global Mobilization - Cold War Germany incoming to the Creator DLC RC Branch. Please stay subjective when posting in this thread as Vertexmacht will use this thread to look for feedback about their RC-Branch updates. Please keep in mind that actual reports of issues should still happen via our Feedback Tracker. Thank you.
