So I got a problem with my server. I'm renting through Host Havoc and we are trying to set up an Antistasi server. When I put the Antistasi pbo file into the mpmissions and type in that I want to run it, it doesnt work. So we tryed something else and went to the Antistasi server and tryed doing some copy and paste fun...... Well we got the game to run the base Antistasi but vehicles don't spawn now and when you go to buy vehicles it doesn't work? With that being said we haven't added the RHS mods yet not sure if Antistasi needs it or not? Lastly does anyone know a better server renting site that is easier to use than host havoc? Thanks all who respond

I need help with a few basic things. First, I have a set of 6 AI marksmen set to spawn in a Pawnee helicopter that is controlled by me. I want them to get out of the helicopter one by one at certain zones. For example: AI#1 would get dropped off on top of a hill, AI#2 would get dropped off at the bottom of a crane, etc. I also want to be able to pick up different AI at a few of those drop off locations. This missions purpose is to help with landing and taking off at different locations with a live crew. Next, I need to put writing on a few signs as distance markers. I also have a couple rules, tips and challenges I want written out on a blackboard or sign as well. I looked at a few forums but they were pretty outdated and I was hoping to find the answer here. Almost done, I was playing a scenario that had a laptop at the spawn area that allowed the player to reset the dead AI and markings on the targets. I'd appreciate it if someone could point in the right direction with how to get that done. And lastly, I downloaded another scenario that tracks a bullets path and where it hits a target and I was wondering if that were possible to do somewhat simply. If not I am willing to learn it from a video or whoever can help me. If you'd be willing to get into closer contact so we can speed up the process I'd really appreciate it. I've been working on a few projects and these are the things I've been putting off the most so I hope someone can help me. :) Thanks for the read and have a great day!

My buddy recently got arma 3, and started playing the exile mode with me. The first day he got it, it was working fine. The following days to come he is only able to play for 5-10 minutes before being kicked. No error messages come up, only thing that shows up while ingame is "Exile Dixie Normous has been kicked" And it does this for every server he joins Things tried: Reinstalling arma 3 Reinstaling a3 launcher Reinstalling Exile Reinstalling Hvp Reinstalling battleeye Making a new profile Verifying integrity Reinstalling several mods Please help. Also, i had him pull his RTP knowing some people want that to look at http://pasted.co/617872f2

Hello There! I've been playing with the Object Builder for a while and had the great idea to make my own car :) (why... couldn't just mind my own business?) I've followed a tutorial on yt (probably you will all know the guy with the delorean) and all went smooth up until I realize that in game the wheels do not spin nor turn. The base 3d model came from the darkweb on sketchup, I've cleaned it a bit in C4D and exported with baked texture in paa to Obnoxius Builder. Side note I'm having issues with trasparency and texture but will fix next time around, this is just a test to know how to process, you will see even the memory points are not really aligned... I'll upload a zip with all the files: -The main P3D (can be opened in Obsure Builder) -Texture (not useful but hey!) -2 CFGs (one from the base testvehicle in arma, one from a car I copied somewhere long time ago, both adapted to work with the car) -Model.cfg (I think here is where the devil is) I've tried multiple ways, naming, weights and bones with no luck, if someone can explain me how cfgs work, at what they point i the LODs, if bones are needed I would be really graceful, I'm not the guy who wants the answer cooked but can be really stubborn to understand things. You can contact me ofc here but also on Steam, Skype, Teamspeak, Discord even Whatsapp. Thanks in advance! I would really like to import this car as is my daily driver and I'm attached to her :P FIxed :D Dont know how to close

Like the title says when driver turnsout im getting a black screen in first person? Why am I getting this ?

I am trying to make a static object that blinks, it's basically a shape with a high emissive rvmat assign and another shape that is behind the high emissive shape that only has a simple texture. My goal is to hide and unhide every X seconds/frame the high emissive shape in other to make a blinking "light". My p3d is composed by one resolution lod, with 2 named selections that are light_base (non emissive surface) and light (high emissive surface); and another geometry lod with mass and components set The model itself works, only the hide and unhide part is missing. model.cfg config.cpp

Making this skidoo and have it all working but having and issue with the model sitting around 1 1/2 meters off the ground after adding arma3 default ATV wheels to have it move. Had a look online and couldn't find anything that could help me with this issue. Here's a picture of the issue: https://imgur.com/a/KOvMTwq Any help or suggestions would be great ! Cheers

I'm trying to get the class name of a weapon that I currently have and copying it to my clipboard or in the extended debug console.

I am trying to start Buldozer from Terrain builder, but i am getting the error as shown below: I already tried: This tutorial: Using arma3p Reinstalling Arma 3 Tools Restarting computer Following youtube videos Buldozer Configurator PMC Wiki arma3.exe instead of buldozer.exe Changing command-line args x64 version of buldozer I didn't try: Object Builder PS: Starting buldozer directly doesn't work as well, but starting arma3.exe directly in buldozer mode works, but arma3.exe gives the same error when i try to set it up on terrain builder, even copying the same arguments and the correct path.

Interesting problem I know. It probably is something quite simple but I can't figure it out. Now, I'm fairly new to scripting (about six months) so I'm not 100% sure what I should do. The basic premise is that the player has a UAV with an M136 launcher on it. The drone then fires that launcher. Got that part down. I've even got it so that the drone rearms when it goes back to "Home". Now, what I'd like to do is to have the players rearm it in the field. They can have a launcher on their back, bring the drone to them and then attach the launcher onto the drone. The drone has a new launcher and the player looses theirs. Here is the code that I have so far. I know that it must be very simple but any help is very much welcome in advance. For you're consideration, I'm using ACE, CBA, RHS (All four modules) and more quality of life mods. Nothing that would effect scripting in any way.

Heads config.cpp: class CfgPatches { class WWM_Heads { author = "BlackOps"; hideName = 0; units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 0.1; requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Characters_F","A3_Characters_F_beta","A3_Characters_F_epa","A3_Characters_F_epb","A3_Characters_F_epc","A3_Characters_F_exp"}; }; }; class CfgFaces { class Default { class Custom; }; class Man_A3: Default { class Default; class AsianHead_A3_01; class Custom { material = "WWM_Heads\data\Custom.rvmat"; }; class WWMHead_KOR_A3: AsianHead_A3_01 { author = "BlackOps"; displayname = "KOR Special Forces"; identityTypes[] = {"Head_Asian"}; head = "AsianHead_A3"; texture = "WWM_Heads\data\KOR_co.paa"; material = "WWM_Heads\data\KOR.rvmat"; materialWounded1 = "A3\Characters_F\Heads\Data\m_Asian_03_injury.rvmat"; materialWounded2 = "A3\Characters_F\Heads\Data\m_Asian_03_injury.rvmat"; }; }; }; Now on my custom unit I'm using: class KOR_Special_Unit: B_soldier_F { author = "BlackOps"; _generalMacro = "B_soldier_F"; scope = 2; displayName = "KOR Special Forces"; identityTypes[] = {"WWMHead_KOR_A3"}; genericNames = "AsianMen"; faction = "KOR_Faction"; model = "\A3\characters_f_beta\INDEP\ia_soldier_01.p3d"; //Default NATO uniformClass = "WWM_U_B_PCUHsW9"; hiddenSelections[] = {"Camo","Insignia"}; hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {}; hiddenSelectionsMaterials[] = {}; weapons[] = {"Throw","Put"}; respawnWeapons[] = {"Throw","Put"}; magazines[] = {"HandGrenade","HandGrenade","SmokeShell","SmokeShellGreen","Chemlight_green","Chemlight_green"}; respawnMagazines[] = {"HandGrenade","HandGrenade","SmokeShell","SmokeShellGreen","Chemlight_green","Chemlight_green"}; linkedItems[] = {"ItemMap","ItemCompass","ItemWatch","ItemRadio"}; respawnLinkedItems[] = {"ItemMap","ItemCompass","ItemWatch","ItemRadio"}; }; So the issue is identityTypes[] = {"WWMHead_KOR_A3"}; is wrong and giving me a random face instead. Also does anyone know of the Asain default voices to add to: identityTypes. If not Ill have to look in the config Any help would be amazing ! cheers

For some reason, sometimes the squad leader is on point while sometimes he is in the back corner. What controls this and can I change this? (mods don't affect it, this seems to happen whether I'm using mods or not)

I was wondering if its possible to create a certain dust effect for my model to use? If so how would I introduce the effect. ie leftDustEffect = "My_Custom_Effect"; rightDustEffect = "My_Custom_Effect";

Let me provide a little background about myself. I have logged approximately 150 hours in Arma 2 CO since late last year. I had the opportunity to play all the classic A2 mods: ACE, ASR, Celle, I44, and many more. However, recently I had been testing A3 and realized how much more it offers, in terms of modularity, editing, and simulation (though ACE should really consider adding advanced artillery, which was a great feature in ACE2). Anyways, I would love to learn the new and improved ACE3, and I was hoping someone with experience could help me out. As I said, I already understand how ACE2 works, so ACE3 shouldn’t be too hard of a transition.

_casSpawn = "B_RangeMaster_F" createUnit [_casPos, _casGroup]; So i have got the range master to spawn to the group civilian, I need to be able to use setDamage but i have nothing to assign the spawned range master to, there is no variable for the spawned ai, so I need your help to set damage and get a variable so I can also use other scripts on the spawned range master. felipe.

Hi, I've just started to get in the modding scene for Arma 3. I'm starting off with the basics like config modifications. And I've made a lot of progress so far. However, I've been working on a new type of ammo that is roughly equivalent to artillery in power. Due to this I was hoping to have the same visual and sound effects of the 230 mm Rockets from the M5 Sandstorm MLRS play when the new round i'm working on impacts a surface/target. But I'm at a bit of loss of how to go about implementing that. Any advice or suggestions would greatly appreciated, thank you!

Hey, I am using CBA on my mission, I am getting this error below. I have no idea why it is doing it I have established that it's not the Mods for the server its something to do with the server its self. As I broke the DB for the server yesterday and All the mods worked including CBA and TFAR so Im not sure why CBA is not working correctly for this. I have tried multiple versions of CBA and still no luck, I am honestly baffled, I have also reinstalled the server and still no luck If you require the RPT then let me to know but the error spawn from CBA is clearly the issue. I have tried to get this to work for about 3 days now. Error position: <allVariables cba_events_eventNamespaceJI> Error Generic error in expression File x\cba\addons\events\XEH_postInit.sqf, line 12 Error in expression <all CBA_fnc_localEvent; }; }; } forEach allVariables cba_events_eventNamespaceJI> That's all it gives you then spams the same error over and Over again.

All is working fine apart from when I place the uniform on the ground I'm getting this in-game error? How do I get those nice mothers folded clothes? Also where is the location of the folded clothes paa files? Here is a screen shot of the error: https://imgur.com/a/O8D2Hte Any help would be amazing ! Cheers

Um, hi there, I have a question regarding the editor. How do I make it so that a unit runs an animation until a player enters a trigger synced to the unit, because right now? I'm trying to get a unit to stand up and join your group after you enter the room, but the unit just joins the group but doesn't stand up. (I'm not sure if this is where I should post this)

Im new to modelling but I have a fair amount of experience with retexturing and arma tools. So what I need help with is I want to have a vanilla t-shirt model on the current project zenith pants. I have no idea how difficult that might be but if anyone would like to point me in the right direction or explain the process to me that would be much appreciated

I have played arma 3 for a bit, and have never encountered this problem before. Whenever i try to play on a server, i get kicked out of the game before being able to play as a character. The kick message does not tell me whats wrong and is kinda frustrating. I have tried uninstalling battleeye I have tried reinstalling arma 3 + verifying I have tried to remove all my mods and reinstalling them I also have turned the mods off whenever I tried joining a vanilla server I am out of ideas and would love to play some arma, any help would be appriciated The kick message is "You were kicked off the game" Here's my RPT pastebin: https://pastebin.com/NT3wCk2q

I'm wondering what is the best mission to create in zeus as this is my first time zeusin' in arma 3. Could anyone help me?
