Recently I encountered such a problem that the name of the mission in the scenario menu is displayed incorrectly, although everything returns to normal when it starts up. I suppose that it happened after some Arma 3 update. Can anyone check if it's only me who has this problem. Here are mission files: http://rgho.st/8XW7GVqbf Some screenshots:

A week or so ago I saw my key bindings reset. I was a bit annoyed but it had happened before so I just re-did them and carried on. However, I have just now gone into the editor and seen that none of the missions under my user profile are shown. I have checked the launcher, and I am definitely loading the "Lawman" profile, of which there is only one. I have also checked the Arma 3 - Other profiles / Lawman / missions folder to confirm my mission files are still there, which they are. Not sure what to do from here on. I tried saving a new mission file to see where it ended up, and It appears to have been placed in the following directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\Missions Have BIS changed something so mission files are no longer local to profile? Cheers, Law

Hello, so I've created my fairly long mission in the Eden Editor and everything worked fine until the point where I wanted the player to load 2 Marshalls in 2 Blackfishes it for the purpose of my mission can't matter in which the blackfish the marshalls are. I've already tried a few things like this: (Marshall1 in Blackfish1 OR Marshall1 in Blackfish2) AND (Marshall2 in Blackfish2 OR Marshall2 in Blackfish1) That evidently didn't work hence this post. I also because of the tests I made found out that marshalls aren't actually inside the blackfishes. I did my own research but either I couldn't understand it or it didn't fit my needs. Hopefully somebody here can help me with this. Thank you in advance.

I'm new to ARMA 3 editor. I'm trying to make a D-Day like scenario. when i give way points (beach) to the boats to move to the way point and get out from the boat some boats do the work right but some boats turns backs and runs like hell. I checked with in combat and out of combat, this only happens in combat.I tweaked the fleeing coefficient to 0 too but they get bitchup every time.....I made then Open fire and careless too maxed out courage and command btw.....Any ideas to fix this.....sry for the bad english... :P :P :P

Good guys, I would like you to help me with this script: It turns out that I made this script with the purpose that when a unit is eliminated depending on the side it is, it does an action, but I do not know what it would be doing wrong. this script if it worked as it wanted in dedicated server: FAM_DeadCivilianCount = 0; publicVariable "FAM_DeadCivilianCount"; { if (side _x == Civilian && _x iskindof "Man") then { _x addEventHandler ["killed", { ["Civil", ["Han Matado un Civil. Penzalización -2 Puntos!"]] remoteExecCall ["BIS_fnc_showNotification"]; FAM_DeadCivilianCount = FAM_DeadCivilianCount + 2; publicvariable "FAM_DeadCivilianCount"; }]; }; } foreach allunits; But when I combine it in this way for the other side: FAM_DeadCivilianCount = 0; FAM_DeadPlayerCount = 0; FAM_DeadPEnemyCount = 0; publicVariable "FAM_DeadCivilianCount"; publicVariable "FAM_DeadPlayerCount"; publicVariable "FAM_DeadPEnemyCount"; { if (side _x == Civilian && _x iskindof "Man") then { _x addEventHandler ["killed", { ["Civil", ["Han Matado un Civil. Penzalización -2 Puntos!"]] remoteExecCall ["BIS_fnc_showNotification"]; FAM_DeadCivilianCount = FAM_DeadCivilianCount + 2; publicvariable "FAM_DeadCivilianCount"; }]; } else { if (side player == WEST && player iskindof "Man") then { player addEventHandler ["killed", { ["JugadorDead", ["Miembro de equipo Muerto. Penzalización -1 Puntos!"]] remoteExecCall ["BIS_fnc_showNotification"]; FAM_DeadPlayerCount = FAM_DeadPlayerCount + 1; publicvariable "FAM_DeadPlayerCount"; }]; }; } else { if (side _x == EAST && _x iskindof "Man") then { if (FAM_DeadPEnemyCount == 20) then { publicVariable "FAM_DeadPEnemyCount"; objetivoTareaTres = objetivoTareaTres + 2; publicVariable "objetivoTareaTres"; ["tareaTres", ["20 Enemigos Muertos. Reciben 2 Puntos!"]] remoteExecCall ["BIS_fnc_showNotification"]; //hint str cash; }; _x addEventHandler ["killed", { ["JugadorDead", ["Miembro de equipo Muerto. Penzalización -1 Puntos!"]] remoteExecCall ["BIS_fnc_showNotification"]; FAM_DeadPEnemyCount = FAM_DeadPEnemyCount + 1; publicVariable "FAM_DeadPEnemyCount"; }]; }; }; } foreach allunits; It throws me an error and I would like to know how they help me in Server to work correctly. thanks and regards.

hi, Unfortunately, one can take a sector by helicopter. in my Spawn Trigger (init) i have set: this && ({_x isKindOf "LAND"} count thisList)>0 && isServer; does not work with the sector modules :/ Does anyone have a solution for me? thank you.

I am working on the argo editor and made a map but don't know how to put the normal game modes like link and respawn.

Hello, I'm looking to creating a short stealth co-op mission where a group must attempt to quietly enter a base, assassinate 3 HVTs and steal intelligence. Except I'm also trying to get a stealth trigger working, where once BLUFOR has been detected by Independent, the maintain stealth task should fail and create an evacuate task, however I can't get the Stealth trigger to work at all as I could be shot to hell by Syndikat soldiers and the task wouldn't appear. Went as far as to cover the whole playing area with a large rectangular trigger area, but it still doesn't work. Anyone knows of any way around it?

Hello. I am 25 years old. I created a discord server for ARMA 3. Discussions about coop missions, scripts and mission making. I looking only for adequate people and over 18 years. I also looking for people who made adequate coop missions and know a little bit about arma mission making in general. Who have some basics about arma 3 scripting. Please no newbies, who started play ARMA 3 few days ago. Expectations of this server: - Find people who have played ARMA series and operation flashpoint for many years. Newbies who have played long time in ARMA 3 are too welcome - Find people who want learn scripting. The goal is: If the user ask some question about how to do this and that - another users will not give him a ready solution. They will give him tips so that he thinks himself how to do it Expected users: - Mission Makers (Low scripting knowledge) - Modders - Scripters (Mission makers with high scripting knowledge) - Advanced players Thank you for your attention https://discord.gg/GRcKfyY

Hello first of all. I want to make a Scenario in which a plane starts from the deck of the Aircraft carrier and I want the deck crew member to make the animation which is shown in the Jets DLC campaign/ showcase when the player presses the spacebar to start the takeoff procedure. So it's timed correctly with the Jet taking off and the end of the animation. This, of course, should only be done by the Crewmember who is standing next to the Jet taking off. Since I have no Idea how to script or program I'd like to ask a kind helper to make me a script which makes that above possible but compatible with a 2 player scenario which I'm trying to make. I know this is a lot to ask for but I'm hoping for someone that would be able to help. Thanks!

Hello, OOP macro File : https://github.com/code34/oop.h Today i wanna share with you my gui editor. This is the link https://github.com/minipopov/GuiEditor Why new editor? -Based on layer with ctrlGroup -You could use your own style control directly from mission -You could export HPP (with EVH link for oop user) -You could export OOP file which is load on createDialog and delete variable on closeDialog -OOP file will contain all functions associate with your dialog. You could set from editor a name for each control which is the name of variable inside class and add init function Press F1 in mission you will see all shortcut. Let's talk about other thing. In initPlayerLocal.sqf you could set OOP_GuiEditor_ListControl which is an array of control avaible. You could remove all, add yours. The only thing that you have to do for add your control is to fill the file styles/customStyle.hpp with your style. Let's create together a new simple dialog. I named it shop with idd 8600. I create a simple dialog with 1 layer. Inside my layer i would create 1 LB which i named "itemList" and 2 button btnClose, btnOK. On my LB i check in event "Init" "OnLBSelChanged". Screenshot:http://prntscr.com/i2r1zj Let's look hpp file generated: Have a look for people who doesn't use OOP. All Event call static function to OOP class that you don't have. You need to change the call AND remove onLoad/unLoad event on display. Hpp contain string to reimport later your dialog Now let's generate oop class First there is standard function Init that it executed at openning your display. For ours BUTTONS We have 2 buttons on our hpp, so 2 functions btnAction_btnOK and btnAction_btnClose. They are call on click For Listbox We have Init function that you could call like this ["static",["onLBSelChanged_itemList", _whateveryouwant] call oo_shop. You could passed to the function anything you wan't and do your job... We have this function cause we check Init There is onLBSelChanged_itemList that is called on selected element on LB. EVH functions are auto fill. Now in-game how to use that? Just by using createDialog "shop", this gonna call our constructor function and get/set all controls, exec standard init. How to delete all vars & clear memory? closeDialog 0; Gonna set all variable to nil and clear memory Hope that i don't let but inside my code ^^. We're on beta version but, it's seems work well

I'm looking for a way to stop a specific vehicle from being able to be blown up. I want the hull and engine to be invincible, so that the vehicle won't explode when hit, but the wheels should still be vulnerable so that it can still be disabled, just not destroyed/blown up. I'm looking for this to be achieved within the vehicles init field, or via an external script. The reason I want this to be possible is because I don't want a simple vehicle respawn in my mission like I have now. I want to punish players for getting a vehicle blown up, making them have to airlift the damaged vehicle back to base where it can be repaired (I don't need help with the airlift or repairs I've got that covered, just need help on making the vehicles hull and engine invulnerable.) Are there any scripts out there which can help me a achieve this? I was looking into the "SetHit" functionality etc but I am a total noob when it comes to scripting. To be completely honest with you I'd love for someone to figure this out for me as I really don't have a lot of time to dedicate to testing and playing about with things myself

The fences that surround the Tanoa International Airport; I am able to edit them the way I see fit. The problem I am having is making them have no damage. I have put in the init; this addeventhandler [this allowdamage false]; this allowdamage false; this enableSimulation false; etc. I have put it in the Init ;|; Init+Object Init ;|; Init+Global Object Init ;|; Init+Object Init+Global Object Init ;|; Object Init ;|; Global Object Init ;|; Object Init+Global Object Init. I have tried the Enable Damage tab/checkbox and it seems to only work for doors. If you guys have anything for me on how to make the Terrain Objects not have any damage through the "EDIT TERRAIN OBJECTS," I would be grateful!

I've searched and haven't found anything on Google. So I apologize if there's something out there. I am creating a campaign on stratis where one task is to capture the air base. After it's captured, I'd like the campaign to automatically load the base up the way I set. So it becomes a friendly base. I would like the same thing to happen when I capture other camps and bases. How can I do this?

Hello everyone, and thank you for taking the time. I have now spent quite a lot of time going through the forums and have a lot of experience with mission making and server management myself, however I have a query to anyone who might know more than me on this particular matter. Running a dedicated server and i am trying to make respawning work on the server in a particular behavior; Been looking for the following: - Respawn inside a particular vehicle on dedicated server, not on the ground. - Respawn countdown/timer. - Something like a spectator camera when you are waiting for the countdown/timer (watching a black screen or a map screen is not that fun, more fun to watch other players you play with in the same team/side). I have been trying to tackle this forever, but the respawn system in the editor seem to only work with respawning on the ground not in a vehicle. It works in the editor, but when I run it in the dedicated server everything glitches and blows up, and the respawn vehicle falls deep below the map you can't interact with it only as zeus. I understand a dedicated server needs external files such as a Description file for this. Does anyone know any scripts or how I can make this work? Cheers. --------------- EDIT: I managed to set up a file called OnPlayerRespawn with the following code and it works: player assignAsCargo heli1; player moveInCargo heli1; However, I can't figure out how to make a respawn timer for it or make a spectator camera for the code. Right now the second a player die they instantly respawn inside the vehicle. Any suggestions? --------------- EDIT 2: After hearing I can syncronize the respawn module simply with an empty vehicle, I am having a persistent issue that I have not managed to solve as of yet on my own. But the respawn window is empty, it says disabled and I get no options to choose from. An error that says at the bottom left too. https://i.gyazo.com/f6de357a48cb5f545a12ca521ca4bc01.png

Ok so here's what's up. I spend several hours making a scenario/mission. After a week or so I decide to change some things. I go inside the editor but I forget I have this one completely irrelevant mod active in my modlist. Now everyone needs to have this mod in order to play my mission. And my question is. Is there any file inside the mission folder that contains all the mod requirements for the mission that I can modify?

So I've been experimenting in the editor, trying to make "standoff" armor for APCs, make big ridiculous armored gun trucks, things like that. Basically the kind of makeshift DIY stuff we see in Iraq and Syria. Naturally, I'm using the attachTo and setVectorDirAndUp commands in each objects init field for this. This is an EXTREMELY time consuming and tedious process, as I have to fiddle around with the X,Y,Z coordinates of every piece and then hit "play scenario" just to test the placement of each piece and then end it, make guestimates, rinse, wash, repeat. Is there an easier way to do this? Like maybe some mod or addon or something that lets me just sync the object to the vehicle and then move it around with the mouse? Or maybe see my X/Y/Z coordinate adjustments in real-time in the editor, as opposed to having to start the scenario each time to see the placement? I've got some really cool ideas, but my god is this a pain in the ass lol. Here's some stuff I'm messing around with/WIP:

I have a container that contains an optic, a banana (from ACE), a chemlight and a grenade. It has the following line inside init. hint str getItemcargo box1; I want it to return every object that's inside but it only returns these 2: Why is this happening?

OVERVIEW CompoT is a toolset designed for mission/addon makers to place and manipulate objects. CompoT is integrated directly into Eden mission editor, allowing you to place most ArmA 3 buildings and objects seamlessly, while normal mission making. To play mission made using CompoT, players do not need to have addon installed, everything is stored in mission.sqm and/or ct_projects.sqf. Addon is needed only for mission making process. CompoT have powerful GUI tools to utilize objects added by other addons, as example it is natively compatible with CUP objects, which is 3500 additional objects. CompoT`s cornerstone is randomization. With CompoT, mission/addon makers are able to significantly increase replayability and overall variability of their missions, by adding certain level of battle field randomization. CompoT is aiming to support as much of community tools and utilities as it possibly can. If you like to have CompoT`s functionality in your own project/addon/what-ever-you-are-doing, please don’t hesitate to contact me, I will be happy to help integrate CompoT in your project. CompoT is open source, it is found on GitHub, feel free to fork and/or pull request. Stable branch v0.2 github Dev branch github (latest updates and issues ^_^) KEY FEATURES Solid connection to Eden Editor Powerful object browser tool, with searching. Can be used to place objects from any mod or addon. Does not need mod to be installed for playing mission. Can be used virtually in any kind of missions, including persistent MP missions like DayZ.

Ok, I got this stealth mission I'm starting out and it's gonna have the @akp_spotlight mod, so I what to know is what a simple small line to slap into the "init" to turn on the spotlight. & what do I need to do to make the static slowly traverse left and right in search pattern in the dark like they're suppose too?

Hello at all who will read this at first, I am currently working on something called DCFDB a Dynamic campaign Framework for Arma 3. To keep things clear i will write some things about it. First of all there is no released Version right now so it is not avialble yet. The Target of it is to have a Dynamic Zeus Campaign with a saving function and other little extras for administrating the campaign. To achive this i am writting an Database in combination with extDB3. This Database should store the most if not all placable and doable things aswell as states. I started at some point to play Milsim Missions with Zeus and thought that it is somewhat sad that there is nothing really to safe the progress. Better said i am targeting a normal Arma 3 campaign as Zeus Campaign with the use of the Creativity from Community of Arma 3. Well with that said now i get to my problem: I am working right now to make it possible to use the Editor for the campaign that you aren't Limited to only Zeus. So i wanted to use the ID of the Mission.sqm to check if it is a Editor Object and later maybe call it by that or assign paralell a Id from the Database. The id of Item 59 ("I_Truck_02_box_F") would be the 409. Right now with the Knowledge i have i can get this variable by using: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/get3DENEntityID But this is limited to the Eden Editor right now. I ask myself is there a way to get this exact Value in the mission while the Object "I_Truck_02_box_F" is selected with as an example: cursorobject. I already thought of another sollution of this by first calling all placed objects and extracting the ID in the middle of following: 13b57c080# 1675124: truck_02_box_f.p3d by using _editorID = str _vehicle splitstring ": " select 1; this gives me the 1675124 of the whole thing. I thought this number would be my solution but then i got informed that those numbers can change because of terrain modification like one tree more or less. So i can't use that. Now is the Question is there any other solution to get this ID or something which is also unique and won't change? Just as information NetID changes. Another thing i tried is to include the MissionSQM in the description.ext and work the parts out: class MissionSQM { #include "mission.sqm" }; and call it through: getNumber (missionConfigFile >> "MissionSQM" >> "version"); [this is not the path just as information this is just an example] but there is another problem i can't order the ITEM Class to the object if there is variable itself which it does not need everytime. class Attributes { name="beta_4"; } Without the name Attribut i can't order it corectly to the unit. Position is a bad option since those can change. The funny thing is i can call the object mentioned before with this script so this is why i tried the splitstring Part: [0,0,0] nearestObject 1675124; So i am with my knowledge at the End and wanted to ask if someone knows a command for declaring an unique ID which won't change and are passed on from the Editor. I searched the Internet up and down asked question in the Arma 3 scripting Discord channel. I think also you were able once to read out the 1675124 id with a command but this was discontinued due to the terrain change problems. Now the editor objects get their own ids which was once wanted but this can't be used in the Mission. I am at the point where i don't know what to do now. Maybe some of you has some answers. Would be glad.

Hey folks, i m working on an alternative Version of Malden to make it fit better with the Ravage Mod ( More Trash, A lot more buildings, decoration and such stuff). Now im almost done with all the stuff, an now im searching for a way to Display all placed stuff at the InGame map. Do you know a easy way to do this? (ive done all the placing with Eden Editor) Can someone move this topic pls? Havent Seen that there is one for the Eden Editor also...

Hello! It's probably a very easy situation but I can't find any help so far. I want to apply the steps below between three locations (LA, LB, LC) Start (anywhere): Task 1- Go LA (On LA) - Success Task 2- Go LB (On LB) - Success Task 3- Go LA (On LA) - Success Task 4- Go LC (On LC) - Success I use trigger (Blufor Present) but I'm having problems. When I sync one trigger and set it to "Repeat", both Task 2 and Task 4 gets activated and when I activate again, Task 2 completes and starts again. When I use two different triggers, Task 4 is enabled when units reach LA for the first time. I need tasks to be activated and completed just like the steps I mentioned above. How can I do that?

Asked this already under "official missions", but non responses, so try it here... (keep expectations low). Is it possible to open the official missions in editor, so that I can adjust them, make them my own and save as user mission?

Hello, I am new with mission making although i played all ARMA series since OFP in 2001 (yes long time). I want to know what people do when they save their arma 3 scenarios from the editor. I have spent a lot of time making my missions so i want to know if there is a way to backup the missions somewhere and how people go about doing it? What is the process? Thanks.
