I am using the addaction menu to add quick on the fly troop management and vehicle assignment scripts. I have the troop management down solid. Units can come in and out of my group, and in and out of my high command module with the flick of the mouse wheel. However, the same cannot be said completely about assigning the vehicles. I got the assign part down, though I currently am not assigning drivers (yet). The problem is that when I choose to unassign one of my highcommand subordinates from their vehicle with my script, that vehicle is no longer eligible for reassignment or unassignment. My addaction for that car/tank/truck is just gone. Reactivating the script doesn't work. I can, however, reassign the group to another vehicle, however, if I unassign them, the same happens once again, vehicle is no longer eligible for reassignment. Just a note here, these groups were added under player with the "player hcSetGroup [group];". I do have a synced HCcommand module to my player, and a synced subordinate command module to the hc module on the map. addhcvehicle = { player addaction ["Assign to Squad 1", {mygrp1 addVehicle cursorTarget},nil,1,false,true,"",format ['(!(isnull cursortarget) && (alive cursortarget) && ({ alive _x } count units mygrp1 > 0) && ((side cursorTarget) == side player) && (locked cursortarget < 2) && !(cursorTarget isKindof "Man"))'],15,false]; }; null = []spawn addhcvehicle; removehcvehicle = { player addaction ["Remove from Squad 1", {mygrp1 leaveVehicle cursorTarget},nil,1,false,true,"",format ['(!(isnull cursortarget) && (alive cursortarget) && ({ alive _x } count units mygrp1 > 0) && (locked cursortarget < 2) && ({if (assignedVehicle _x == cursortarget) exitwith {true}}forEach units mygrp1))'],15,false]; }; null = []spawn removehcvehicle; -
How to get Military Symbols to display Group Names
fernandolvferreira posted a topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
Sorry if this has been answered already, but I couldn't find it anywhere... I placed the Military Symbols module and put this in its init: setGroupIconsVisible [true,false]; So now I can see the symbols for groups in the map. Now I would like for it to show the group's ID next to the symbol. Example. I have two groups of Cobra's flying around. I'd like it to show "Phantom 1" and "Phantom 2" next to its respective symbols. I imagine it has something to do with SetGroupId, but I can't find any parameter in the module in order for it to display it. I'd appreciate any help. Thank! -
I'm preparing to create a mission with multiple objectives including a recruit/rescue portion, and I was simply going to port over a pow rescue script that I originally used in an A2 mission I had previously created however it no longer works. I have looked, however to no avail to find a set of scripts which will meet some of the criteria necessary to work with the mission I'm creating. Some of the criteria I would like to meet for using a given script include - Remove recruit/rescue addaction on creation (surprisingly none of the methods I've encountered I've found do this) - Script activated enableai "move" command from any location in the mission area for the subject once they are recruited (subject has a random chance to spawn in multiple locations) - AI must behave no differently than another squad member once inducted, also targetable by opfor ai This aspect of the mission entails investigating various suspected locations of the individual requiring rescue, with each location having its marker removed upon investigation (this part already works). I'm going to keep fiddling around and try to make it work, but if anyone has any tips or insight, I'd be appreciative of the help. -
So I have a mission where I'm bluefor, naturally Independent is friendly and opfor enemy, how do I make a trigger where when I make an indifor hostage into my group, the indifor forces instantly become my enemy?

So I realized the other day that every individual soldier is counted as a group in the eden editor. This presents a problem for me especially when trying to create scenarios with manned bases. I did a test and placed down a ton of soldiers in the 2D editor and imported it to Eden only to have it denied because of the group limit. Has anyone else noticed this? Besides that i'm loving eden editor by the way

Simple Question how do I spawn a group at a certain height using BIS_fnc_spawnGroup at a marker? This is what I have (with the group actually defined) _group1 = [(getMarkerPos "marker1"), EAST, (configfile >> so on and so forth until we get the group)] Call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup; I would like to spawn them at 5 meters height. Thank you

How do I group tasks in the new Eden Editor? Thanks you very much. edit: [RESOLVED] Anyone with a similar doubt, since I am not clearly sure how it works nor is it very visible; I've found the solution and this works for me. I click on the task, hold control and drag it to the other I want it to be affecting; then I also sync it. Grouping it doesn't seem to be visible, but syncing is. Do not know which one of these is causing it to work, but incase you have a similar doubt feel free to count that in. Thanks you.

Connecting a created group to high command
fisheadaustin posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
just like the title says i need to link a created group to a high command subordinate module so i can gain control of them after creation. how i have this setup the player group clears a town, trigger goes off that creates a new group of soldiers using the BIC call function. but thats all i got, it needs to be that after they are created the group is then linked to the HCS subordinate module that way i gain control of that group. ive tried using the synchronizeObjectsAdd function, however to my dismay the group doesnt have a name... and if they do i cannot find it to place that in the correct order to allow this to happen. also i cannot give the unit a name do to the way they are created apparently. Here's what i have in the trigger activation :[position player, WEST, configfile >> "CfgGroups" >> "West" >> "OPTRE_UNSC" >> "Infantry_Marine" >> "OPTRE_Groups_UNSC_Squad_Marine"] call BIS_fnc_spawngroup; Alpha_2_2 synchronizeObjectsAdd [HCS]; right now i figure as im looking at the high command menu that this group is alpha 2_2, (there are numerous reasons for thinking this) but it all boils down to that i cannot link the group leader to the actual HCS module because i cannot go in and edit his "name" to do so. and i have no idea how to issue him one. -
Need help with custom units creation.
boombastic posted a topic in ARMA 3 - ADDONS - CONFIGS & SCRIPTING
Hi all, I just want to make my custom units based on exported loadouts from Virtual Arsenal, that will be always accessible via mission editor or third party addons, nothing special, just my custom group under NATO or CSAT factions. If i get it right, the only way to do it - to make addon. But i have no skills and knowledge to make such addon by myself, so i need little help from the community. I try to do this by myself, and found this links: http://pastebin.com/9zUxVn07# http://pastebin.com/wtCnGxTR ... so i see that it have only few rows of code, but don't know how to use it :( What kind of file i need to create .bin, .cfg, .cpp, .sqf ? Does it accept pasted data from virtual arsenal e.t.c. Maybe somebody can help me and show some working example of such addon with only one or two units that have virtual arsenal loadout ? And i will continue to add my units to it. Thanks for any help.
