I've just started getting into Zeus and Eden Editor to make missions and stuff. I can't find out anywhere how to make templates and then put them on the server to play them, or at least make templates on the server so I can save it for later or reuse it. Please reply with an answer as to how I can save/load templates on to servers to set up Zeus missions easier. As well as how to make a template in singleplayer, then load it on the server. Thanks.

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?

I wanted to work on a mission I'm doing and as I tried to open said mission the error on the title popped up, I dont know how to fix it. can anyone help? this is the SQM: https://pastebin.com/XXNMk4XY thank you in advance

Hi everyone, I am stuck on somethan. I'm making a mission in a pre defined area where a player can spawn ai via a addAction. My issue right now is, the player can spawn the mission over and over. That by itself will cause a lot of problems. Others might have a better idea on how to go about this but I thought it would be a good idea before the script spawns the mission it would check to see if there are any OPFOR Units Alive within the marker or a trigger area if there is the mission will not spawn, if there is'nt then the mission will spawn. I don't know how to successfully make a check for opfor units (not players, just AI). Any help would be very much appreciated thank you.

So I have been looking for a new mission for my dedicated server for me and some buddies to play with the RHS Escalation Mission. Loved the similar missions in Arma 2 OA but, Since it is no longer updated, and I have no scripting knowledge, I had a few questions? First would be, All I want is to update the units to the new ones RHS has added, change the map, and the teams, I have a wish to try out the RHS Serb forces, but as this is something not originally created with the mod, I have no Idea what to do? Would this be simple or very complex? Is there a stand-alone tool like ADAM that I could use? At this point, I would even compensate(if that is allowed, or donate) if someone could just edit the mission for me. Just for private use. Any thoughts? :\ Thanks, WZ

Hello everyone. I made a no-mod-mission for ArmA 3 in the Eden editor and then wanted to add mods, so I saved it as a separate File. Unfortunately, later, the modded version overwrote the unmodded version, so is there a way I can remove the mod requirement and get back parts of the original file? Thank you already.

Ok I started this topic because there was no any official pinned topic for Tac-Ops DLC. First thanks BIS for this great contents which is my most favorite official DLC so far although those who are not following this game since Operation FlashPoint left some negative comments and reviews very unfairly. But me myself ask you to bring more contents like this and I will be the first one who pre-purchase it! Ok here are my feedbacks, reports and opinions about this DLC: Beyond Hope No Reprieve: Mission was well designed with no bugs, but it would be great to play as other roles too. I noticed my team as "Chimera" wasn't labeled correctly in it's properties, it was mentioned as Bravo: http://www.mediafire.com/view/0u1rne5yys475ym/1.jpg "Stepping stone" seems had no this minor issue though. Avenging Furies: I enjoyed all missions introduced in this DLC but this mission is my favorite one. Playing as Sniper was great, I chose an MAR-10 which is a Marksman DLC and here I should thank BI for letting players who don't have this DLC to play it with no restrictions or ads. but this rifle only had 2 magazine in ammo box, maybe you want to increase it a little more so player can use it during whole op, and last counterattack was a hell of fight! In this mission I also tried to give a visit to recon unit "Sparrowhawk" who was overwatching Syrta town, but as you see in this shot, no one was there, it would be more sensible to put a real one there. http://www.mediafire.com/view/c5sxu3hehlvg2xi/2.jpg I also tried mission with mechanized units. An optional task asked me to give a help to our assaulting forces seize town of Galati, but as you see in pic, there were no enemy or friendly units there! I received message to get back on right flank and I did it, but this optional task seems was broken as no one was in the town. http://www.mediafire.com/view/vqk6i96upr6c893/3.jpg Stepping Stone Fait Accompli: Playing as special forces was fun but our enemies were just a bunch of rookies, we killed them all in that area with not getting even one hit, but those forces guarding last mortar were a little more tough. Playing as infantry was very hard at last objective where we must seize that field hospital, but I forgot to call Delta team maybe because of this I finished it so hard. When I found my team in that so bad situation, I called Delta, there were some gunshots from their position then they asked to retreat but nothing changed or got easier for us. Note that our Marshal APC also flipped and almost flied because of bad physics which seems needs more fixes hope BI do it once for all. Disintegration Point: When I played as special forces and controlled UAV to stop enemy armors, I found that our Tanks almost destroyed all enemy armors, there were nothing left for me except an APC inside town which will wipe out all our infantries if you play as infantry but our tanks won't intervene in this situation where they are really needed, also our tanks seems never get damaged. when I reached AO sky with UAV I noticed enemy tanks hit one of friendly tanks for more than 2 shots but it was still in shape! So it would be great if friendly tanks give some hand when player is in bad situation due to enemy APC firepower inside town, and making our tanks destructible so player will do his best to stop enemy armors from advancing. Oh I loved how developers cared about details, when I reached that civilian house where was a firing position of 3 CSAT soldiers, one of them dragged himself there. http://www.mediafire.com/view/jd14uxaaj8k66te/4.jpg And this laptop... BI tried to make us cry for remembering nostalgic OFP, this laptop was being used for game settings in that era http://www.mediafire.com/view/r93akcu0svnlk97/5.jpg Steel Pegasus Breaking Through: When AAF were about to assault on our position in point "superior" they called for mortar first, BI used real mortars for this instead of fake scripts, and this is the exactly what ARMA is capable of, yes please continue same this way BI. http://www.mediafire.com/view/yz3b2atjvo04glc/6.jpg Final Strike: Same minor issue about team label that I mentioned for Beyond Hope is here: http://www.mediafire.com/view/9bemybx77ah3ewu/7.jpg And thanks again to BIS for bringing this long time waited wish for ArmA veterans, please don't hesitate to create such contents again as many ask for it and those who really don't like, they are free to not buy, simple it is, isn't?

Disclaimer** I do not post on forums often so I apologize if this is in the wrong spot. I have looked everywhere for something that will spawn missions automatically, like the missions spawn in most exile servers randomly. I have looked into MCC and I really love the mission setups, unfortunately there is no way (to my knowledge) to script this, it has to be done in person while in the gamel. I am looking for this to happen automatically while you are in the game. Any ideas?

Hi! I'm Ezcoo, founder of Task Force Northern Wind. Task Force Northern Wind is intended to be a small group of developers specialized in developing multiplayer gamemodes and the required content for them in agile manner in Arma 3. The group name and logo describe the group's vision: just like the icy-cold northern wind hitting you in the face when you step out of the door in Nordics, our goal is to create immersive experiences that make players concretely feel, whether it's excitement, fear or passion. The group will be shaped by its members, which means that every member – including you – has a good chance to affect the direction we'll be taking in our future projects. I decided to found the group because I've been in the Arma modding (mostly mission editing) scene for years, but haven't accomplished much. I started as a complete noob back in 2012, having no idea of anything, but got constantly better at my niché, game design, with the right mixture of inspiration and perspiration. I consider myself pretty skilled in it nowadays. I've been part of several ambitious projects that didn't take off for some reasons: either they turned out to be too large projects for the team or – most importantly – the chosen development method was suboptimal considering the ambitiousness of the projects. Regarding the latter reason, it took me a while to understand why I was failing to deliver despite of having the honor to work with such amazing teams of developers I actually was working with. Eventually I figured it out. The reason is that I'm strongly the type of developer that utilizes agile methods with very short feedback loop and iteration interval. I've been working with and in teams that have had developers from all around the world, which lead to a single iteration lasting for a day or even several days, which, in turn, lead to difficulties in managing and designing the project on my part. That's why I decided to found Task Force Northern Wind – a developer group deploying a set of practices that utilize agile development and tight cooperation between developers, ultimately leading to better results. Task Force Northern Wind is looking for you, if you're able and willing to take part in development of multiplayer gamemodes during European noons, meaning approximately the time between 09:00 and 19:00 GMT. We're seeking people with a friendly and cooperative mindset; in addition, while tolerance to the consistently present bad humor is not required, it just will make your life a lot easier! If you're a scripter/programmer, we'd love to hear from you if: you master full stack development from database setup and integration to user interfaces in Arma, especially considering the multiplayer environment; OR you master some of the skills required in multiplayer mission development and you're available to work with other developers when they need you approximately during the above-mentioned time window. If you have other skills that you think we might be interested in, make sure to contact me on Steam or join our Discord and poke us! See you on the battlefield!

Hi I'm new to mission editing, but I wish to learn. I want to set a sniper to stay hidden and quiet, until comes in his view the designated VIP to kill together in a group of enemies, *kill him only*, then runs away unharmed. Other enemies must survive. I did try a lot of failed attempts using enable/disableAI, etc. but I have to give up: the sniper always attack other enemies before and after the VIP kill. Thank you.

Hiya! Despite my rank on this forum, I am actually pretty well acquainted with the Arma Editor (Can't say my script skills are too good though ) as I have been playing since about late 2014. Anyways, I am trying to recreate the Original Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad in a more modern setting. Is it possible to create a sort of trigger that when you, for example, talk to an NPC, a line of dialogue appears? I am more so looking for a Mount and Blade effect w/o actual voice acting and just reading blurbs of dialogue. For the first section of dialogue, I wish for the player to interact with a UN Colonel. The Colonel will be leaning on his desk or whatever and I would have the player approach and have a section stating "Speak" and I am incoporating dialogue from the actual book. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hello, I can join a all free missioned server ! This message will remain (waiting for the host to choose a mission) please help me !! and

I'm currently tring to set up a mission where a player activates an action witch activates a trigger that spawns units in a group. I have done the addAction and it looks like this: this addAction ["Spawn INF", {(_this select 0) setVariable ["GERinf", 2, true];}]; and the condition of the trigger: ((InfTrigGER getVariable ["GERinf", 0]) == 2) But i have trouble with spawning the units. So far i have done this: _group105=createGroup west; _unit2=_group105 createUnit ["fow_s_ger_heer_rifleman", getMarkerPos "GERinfspawn", [], 4, "FORM"]; I'm trying not to use an outside script and basicly only do it from the ingame init. If someone can help that would be awesome :)

Hello everyone, I started editing and scripting on Arma since March / April. After some creations of missions, I felt the need to build a framework to regain my developer habits. So far we had taken over the framework f3 that we had adapted. For the time being, we are reviewing the whole system. I would like to solicit you because I want to take a good habit and do a good job and can be, in a future that I hope close, make the community benefit from a flexible framework, powerful, easy to use even for beginners. We also have a rather nice reference project to play. Currently in French but we will translate it later. This implementation creates a battle zone where 300 units compete in real time. However, if you do not have a powerful machine, I advise you to go through a server. This should please you. Just before you provide the links, I warn you that the code is under development and that it still takes time to make it all mature. So I ask the community to follow the development, in order to provide advice. I also ask you to kindly test the reference mission. Of course, if you are interested by the subject ;-) Framework implementation https://github.com/RedBelette/TGV_MissionFramework_Template Wiki https://github.com/RedBelette/TGV_MissionFramework_Template/wiki (update required) Reference implementation https://github.com/RedBelette/RED_co9_op_anger_of_the_west.Kunduz (Youtube video = Milsim Live from beta5) Another reference implementation https://github.com/RedBelette/RED_co9_virgin_territory.kobbvatn (Youtube video = Cutscene) Client / Server Timer Demo https://github.com/RedBelette/RED_EX_TIMER.VR PS: No license, made what you want about the code, it's gift ;-) Bonus: An interteam was made with 45 players on the Kunduz map. More than 400 units were created from the mission. This proves me that the TGV framework is rather stable;) Here is a video summary made by the team 126RIM. Update This project is canceled and will no longer be updated. In fact, it is completely reworked in an addon named "Red Framework". Much more convenient for updates. A Beta version is available here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1226877632 A technical demo here : http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1230760053 We need a lot of Beta Tester. Are you interested ? Regards, RedBelette

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1229944898 I decided to create a series with each mission focusing on one specific type of soldier/task, this one entry is EOD. I used the AAF to give it a more modern day feel while keeping it vanilla. Used Tanoa to give it a vietnam flavor. Steam description: Step into the shoes of a soldier in an EOD unit during operations on Tanoa. The AAF have been engaged with Syndikat and remnants of the former dictatorship's loyalist army for the last 8 months. The guerrillas have access to large pre-overthrow stockpiles of anti-tank and anti-personell mines as well as improved explosive devices. Because of this our EOD unit has been kept busy during the occupation. During today's operation we will be escorting a tank platoon along a main supply route and clearing any minefields using our mine clearing rockets from the bobcat. We have multiple infantry units currently executing various missions and raids accross the island so be prepared to get tasked away to help them clear any explosives they encounter. Vanilla mission, only requires Apex. (Although from the latest update all Arma 3 users now have Apex assets so you may be able to play it, just with the expansion purchase advert in the corner.) (Mine Clearing Rocket script by John Harvey https://github.com/john681611/detcord.VR/releases ) Let me know of any bugs or issues and feel free to give me feedback for suggestions for this mission or how I can better accomplish things for future missions.

Server Dependent, can be run with any mod ****This can only be played on the ts.warkin.info server as server-side is not released, please watch video**** /\ New Video /\ Server and mission Explained. SO I've been piecing together a mission using a lot of community content as well as a ton of my own script to get it all together. It features procedural map objective generation, efficient scripting and a powerful database. It does borrow from wasteland and CTI, but I looked for solutions everywhere. While not everything is perfect yet, it is very playable and will save your levels etc indefinitely. It's got a ton of scripts running server side while keeping the FPS high, so it's smart capable. It's got drop in / drop out saving that will enable you to play a few minutes at a time, but contribute to the big offensive. There is a full economy, and you can also level your AI. You have a choice of 12 persistent AI as you level up who you can recruit at ease and who are saved with my drop in feature, as well as vehicles etc. The mission is town focused, but every part of the map can be captured for income. Please try it out, and comment to steer it's development. The server keeps good frame rate in spite of producing many AI in individual cities. Custom loadouts are available not only to you, but to your ai with minimal effort. As an external influence I reference 'Jagged Alliance'. Lightning Warfare = "Warfare with a small unit, co-op focus" 1. Towns will be connected in territorial mode 2. Every town will have same items available for purchase 3. Each captured town unlocks extra units and gear in all towns. 4. Fast travel will be available between towns 5. Winning condition: Capture all towns. 6. Database deals with per session and infinite saving. 7. Procedural Map with fog of war 8. Player Economy 9. In depth squad management and persistence 10. You can recolor and uniforms, see photos below 11. Rearm and re-equip you or your squad members in minimal clicks. 12. Save and utilize custom load outs for player and squad. 13 In depth medical and support scripting, ai ability to save you when injured. Not a full list, but here are the major imports. - Improved FAR Revive medical simulation - Outlawed Mag Repack - R3F logistics - Building loot spawning - Rewritten Digital load out system - Rewritten Hunter Six ai system - Taw View distance - Seth Duda Advanced Towing & advanced sling load - Outlawed Mag Repack - Zod Take down - Rewritten inidb - Rewritten A3 Wasteland - Rewritten Squeeze Hex warfare Planned additions - Sniper, SOG centric mission support. High value targets : Personnel responsible for logistics, killing will inhibit reinforcement. FOO/FAC: Responsible for coordination of Air support; Killing will disable enemy air support for a time. GUI's - Simple yet powerful Manage your squad, customize your team (Player and AI level saved in DB) Procedural Strategic Map - works on any island and identifies objectives Deep player customization, and more to come Running IFA3

Hey I'm hosting this again on dedicated hardware. If there is interest I will leave it up and updated. The gear has been switched to the ARMA3 arsenal. Among other things you can equip your leveled AI with customized loadouts. Here is a video

I preordered the TacOps DLC and now that it has come out I am really enjoying it. However I am having trouble trying to play the Disintegration mission. Every time I try and launch it it instead plays the previous Fiat Acompli. Fiat Acompli shows that it has been completed and Disintegration point gives me an option to resume or revert - both instead launch Fiat Acompli from the beginning. If I play right through Fiat Acompli it will then continue into Disintegration point but if I save and leave for any reason, or if I try and replay it by launching from the campaign menu it goes back to the beginning of Fiat. I am not playing the developers build and my game is fully up to date. None of the other missions are giving me this problem. Thanks in Advance.

I think about reconnaissance pod and mechanics to use it in a coop mission. Is there any way for delivering a screenshot taken from the game (recce pod) to the same coop game session using setObjectTextureGlobal or similar method? EDIT: Allright, it seems to me that Arma3Net might be a solution with external SQL database connected to the said coop mission. Could someone confirm/deny the assumption that SQL DB can receive a screenshot taken by one of mission player and then serve as a source for Control Dialog or setObjectTextureGlobal command?

I've had this mission for a long time and I always go back to it to play it with friends. It requires mods (RHS U.S, Russia, and GREF) so that's what I've been using along with some others like CBA/enhanced movement/MCC/Personal Arsenal... etc. I loaded it up today with the same mods and none of the slots are showing up for some reason. In an attempt to fix, I took out the mods I added that broke it, but the mission STILL has no slots. After hours of trying to fix it I tried launching with only the 3 required mods and still no luck. I have no idea how to fix it or trouble shoot it because I know nothing about how the game works so I've resorted to asking others. Thanks for the help in advance. Mission I'm trying to load, notice it only requires 3 mods. Also on a side note this is a steam workshop mission that is located in Documents>Arma 3>Saved>steammpmission. I strongly believe that either a mod I have is breaking this, or a mod I don't have is causing it to break.

Hey Guys, First of all, Thank you for wasting time to read this issue, Im really appreciate your effort for trying to help me and to others. I am trying to create a template with a costume loadout, and I have encountered in issue. The loadout won't start, I have tried to fix it by myself, but I can't find the issue somewhy. I will Add to here the links for the Class define, Loadout Script, And RPT Log. (I know I can make it simple through EDEN. But I want to add some functions like Parameters to the Loadout.) RPT LogClass Define / Clients Loadout Script Thank You!
