Hello! First | The basic premise of what I am attempting to do is two-fold. A) respawn existing vehicles (of different types - i.e. some jets, some helicopters, some ground vehicles), with the same custom pylons - for the jets/helis - set by the pylon/dynamic loadout editor in 3den. This part works fine thus far (see below). And B) apply unlimited ammo on a delay (i.e. it takes 45 seconds for the ammo to restore) to both the original vehicle and its respawned clone. The main trouble I am having is getting unlimited ammo to work with the new, respawned vehicles. Second | A code dump and summary of what is where: The code below is my unlimited ammo expression in the existing F/A-181 (and other vehicles). Ideally, the missiles & bombs refresh on a delay, hence the {sleep 45} segment. This part works perfectly for my purposes. this addEventHandler ["Fired",{[_this select 0,getNumber (configFile/"CfgAmmo"/(_this select 4)/"explosive")] spawn {if (_this select 1==1) then {sleep 45};_this select 0 setVehicleAmmo 1}}]; This code is present in the expression of a Game Logic and synced to all relevant air vehicles. It works perfectly for my purposes; no errors and functions as intended. [this] call { if (!isServer) exitWith {}; params ["_thisObject"]; _vehs = synchronizedObjects _thisObject; _initScript = { params ["_vehicle", ["_pylons", "none"]]; if (typeName _pylons == typeName []) then { private _pylonPaths = (configProperties [configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> typeOf _vehicle >> "Components" >> "TransportPylonsComponent" >> "Pylons", "isClass _x"]) apply { getArray (_x >> "turret") }; { _vehicle removeWeaponGlobal getText (configFile >> "CfgMagazines" >> _x >> "pylonWeapon") } forEach getPylonMagazines _vehicle; { _vehicle setPylonLoadout [_forEachIndex + 1, _x, true, _pylonPaths select _forEachIndex] } forEach _pylons; }; }; { [_x] call _initScript; } forEach _vehs; [_vehs, _initScript] spawn { params ["_vehs", "_initScript"]; sleep 1; _respawnlist = []; { _respawnlist = _respawnlist + [[_x, position _x, [vectorDir _x, vectorUp _x], getPylonMagazines _x]] } forEach _vehs; while { true } do { sleep 1; { _veh = _x # 0; _respawnpos = _x # 1; _playerdistance = 200; { if (_veh distance _x < _playerdistance) then { _playerdistance = _veh distance _x }; } forEach allPlayers; if (!alive _veh || (_veh distance _respawnpos > 20 && _playerdistance > 20)) then { _vehType = typeOf _veh; [_veh, _respawnlist] spawn { params ["_veh", "_respawnlist"]; deleteVehicleCrew _veh; _veh lock true; _inSpawn = false; waitUntil { sleep 0.5; _inSpawn = false; { _respawnpos = _x # 1; if ((_veh distance _respawnpos) < 30) exitWith { _inSpawn = true; }; } forEach _respawnlist; _inSpawn || ((speed _veh == 0) && (isTouchingGround _veh)); }; if (!_inSpawn) then { sleep 30 }; deleteVehicle _veh; }; sleep 10; _newveh = _vehType createVehicle _respawnpos; _newveh setPos _respawnpos; _newveh setVectorDirAndUp (_x # 2);[_newveh, _x # 3] call _initScript; _respawnlist set [_forEachIndex, [_newveh, _respawnpos, _x # 2, _x # 3]]; }; } forEach _respawnlist; }; }; }; This is the current code present in the "System Specific - Vehicle Respawn" Module expression (not its Init). It does not work at all. params ["_newVeh", "_oldVeh"]; [_newVeh addEventHandler ["Fired", { [_newVeh select 0, getNumber (configFile/"CfgAmmo"/(_newVeh select 4)/"explosive")] spawn { if (_newVeh select 1 >= 0) then { sleep 5 }; _newVeh select 0 setVehicleAmmo 1 } }]] call BIS_fnc_initVehicle; The Vehicle Respawn Module: It throws the no errors upon mission launch and no errors upon vehicle respawn. My friends and I suspect it is not even executing properly. Here are a few screencaps of the 3den editor of the scene in question if it helps you: // Overview of the whole airfield. The Vehicle Respawn Module on the Right by the center of the airfiled is exlusively linked to ground vehicles. It respawns the vehicles fine but without the unlimited ammo. // The test F/A-181. // The Game Logic. // My two primary test subjects (Left is experimental; Right is the control). As you can see, the left F/A-181 is the primary test subject for the Vehicle Respawn Module, as it is synced to both the Vehicle Respawn and the Game Logic. The right F/A-181 (and all other air vehicles) is synced only to the Game Logic. Both jets initially spawn with the proper pylons/dynamic loadouts and unlimited ammo, as expected vis-a-vis the 3den editor settings. Both jets respawn with the proper pylons/dynamic loadouts. Neither jet respawns with unlimited ammo, currently. I feel close to solving this, but I am blind to what I am missing/adding unnecessarily. I have tried numerous other variations with even less luck. I am sure there is some redundancy between the Vehicle Respawn Module and the game logic, and I would appreciate any simplifications there. However, that is a secondary concern. Thanks for reading this far! Hopefully, you can help me and anyone else who wants to do this.

There are a lot of resources on how to make a trigger activate a support module, but how do you make a support module activate a trigger? I've been scouring the net and even trying chatGPT for an answer but I'm coming up empty. I'm trying to trigger an event when my player calls in an airstrike. Specifically, I'm try to keep my CAS plane from taking off from TeTeT's Nimitz mod aircraft carrier before the air strike is called in. There are a lot of other applications that I would like to use this for as well. Is there anything I can put in the trigger's condition field to activate it when the support module gets activated? Something like "supportModuleActivated"? I'm at a complete loss. 😩

Hello everyone, I've been playing arma for about 11 years now and I've seen some pretty cool AI mods, however, I've noticed a lot of the really well functioning mods and scripts that were an absolute asset in ARMA 2 haven't been succesfully ported over to ARMA 3 and I wanted to remedy that. With that said, I wanted to create an AI medevac module that takes seriously wounded troops off of the battlefield and back to a pre-determined base/ area. For revival or death (50/50 percentage based on location of damage and severity). I know it can be done since there were a few good ones for arma 2 (especially the 9 line medevac module) any advice and or tips for me as I undergo this? Anyone want to partner up? Thank you all in advance for the comment's, suggestions, berations etc...

Hi, I need help with curator add editing area module. What I want is to be able to change editing area during mission via radio trigger or attachTo to some object (or some other way I don't know about 🙂). I tried to attach it to the arsenal object but it doesn't change position with it, it just stay where it was placed in the editor. I also tried to delete the module and spawn it to the new position via radio trigger. "myCurator" is the variable name of Game Master module. myCurator removeCuratorEditingArea 1; myCurator addCuratorEditingArea [ 1, (position player), 40 ]; It doesn't work. Any help is appreciated.

Hi, I'm working in a multiplayer mission were the server needs a custom module. I wrote the module in a small addon and everything works well. The module is used only by the server but clients cannot connect without the small addon with module info. I don't like that players need to get an addon just for this small bite of information (131 kb). Is there a way to make clients get module definition from the server when they download the mission? I hope I've been clear enought. Thank you

Wildfire! This mod adds scripted fire spreading from foliage to foliage, and optionally buildings. Fires do damage, and are affected by wind direction, speed and rain. Fires can be started via module or script, and all fires can be extinguished in an emergency. The performance FPS wise is better than you'd expect, but less than perfect. FEATURES: - Spreadable wildfire - Compatible with any modded map - Eden/Zeus modules - Takes rain, wind direction and wind strength into account - Damages AI and players - ACE Medical Compatible (no compats needed) - CBA Settings for behaviour and performance - Optionally burn buildings - Emergency extinguish module - Multiplayer compatible - Serverside calculations Get it here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2645823531 Please submit any contributions, bug reports, stringtable translations, or feature requests to this projects Github: https://github.com/Seb105/Arma-Wildfire

Hi all, Here is a new module in MGI Advanced Module addon, for spawning any groups you want, any time... (done) This module allows: - to spawn any group, even customized, on any side, - spawning on multiple possible areas (triggers) - with a wide randomized choice or a very specific group. You can place several modules on the map, each of them have their own parameters; 1. Choose the side (applies to all groups spawned from a module, no matter the initial vanilla side). So civilian units can be aggressors. 2. decide if you want to spawn: * at total random (so the groups are picked in cfgGroups, but for the side you chose (normal limitation) * at randomized or specific faction(s) . They must exist in cfgGroups (not all factions from cfgFactionClasses are available for groups). All factions (cfgGroups) are available so not depending, here, on the final side * You can filter these first possibilities by the type(s) of groups. For example, "infantry" and/or "motorized" and/or "armored"... But, these types must exist in the cfgGroups. * you can choose to spawn a specific group (from cfgGroups).. or even an array of units, vehicles... or even an edited group (with all customized textures, pylons, loadouts...) * linked group(s) on module, customized or not, will be candidates for spawning. That's fine for spawning not existing groups such as air or sea patrols. 3. Choose the attitude: behavior, combat mode, formation... 4. choose the repeat sequence (limitation and delay) 5. decide on what condition groups module can spawn (not only at start, but any time!) 6. decide for a simple task (or not). Chase players, enemies, defend... 7. run a code for each group (useful for specific task) MODULE(S) IN 3DEN - Position/ area of the module(s) if no synced trigger area. Direction of the module, in 3den, is the direction of the group (if no synced trigger area) SYNCED TRIGGER AREA(S) - The position, area and direction of the module doesn't matter any more. The group(s) are spawning at randomized positions in randomized trigger area(s), with the direction of the trigger area. SYNCED UNIT(S) - In 3den, you can place (customized or not) group(s) with the module(s). No matter if you synced one (leader or not) or several units of a group, with the module. The group will be candidate for spawning. PARAMETERS SIDE - Definitely the side of your group(s) for this module. No matter the choice you did (edited group, chosen faction(s), or type(s) of group or group(s)..) What ever you spawn we belong to this side. --> But, if you let the module at full random (no synced group, no, faction, no type, no group), in this case, the randomized group is picked among the native possibility from cfgGroups. So, if you just select a side (say EAST), you'll spawn randomized groups(s) from OPFOR. HOW MANY GROUPS - The number of group(s) to be spawned at each occurrence. Randomization will depend on the possibility of what you want to spawn, so your choice) Min 1 max 12 (limited for performance saving when spawning heavy customized groups. Feel free to add other modules) NOTE: The modules works with edited groups or existing configs/classes of groups in cfgGroups (see config viewer from console). So, scripted groups have always the architecture: configFile >> "cfgGroups" >> "side" >> "faction"* >> "type of group" >> "group" ... then units/vehicles for each group Example: side like "Indep" , faction like "IND_E_F", type like "infantry", group like "I_E_InfSquad" FACTION(S)* - If empty, no filter about them. If filled without any more details (type(s), group(s) ) all available factions in cfgGroups can be used to spawn any child type, then any child group. But ⚠️ all current faction names can't work. Some existing factions in cfgFactionClasses are not present in cfgGroups. For example: "CIV_IDAP_F" (IDAP civilian faction has no group) or even "OPF_V_F" (Arma Viper) can't work in the architecture of cfgGroups. (for Viper, the only group defined in: configfile >> "CfgGroups" >> "East" >> "OPF_F" >> "SpecOps" >> "OI_ViperTeam" exits. So at faction level, there is nothing to do). You can fill the parameter with a working class like: "OPF_F" , or the config (configfile >> "CfgGroups" >> "East" >> "OPF_F"), or an array of these possibilities. Not case sensitive. TYPE(S) - if more a filter about what you want to spawn. That should be simple as "infantry" or " motorized or mechanized" or "armored". That doesn't. Even in Arma vanilla, you can find exotic classes as "motorized_MTP". Any dev has his own mind to sort the groups by types. The reason is probably the way you can find sorted groups in 3den's right panel. But, it's just impossible (or needs an updated list of hundreds of names) to filter groups easily. You have to do that job, if you want to do so, writing a config or a class or an array of that, for filtering the type(s). Not case sensitive but do not make typo's error! If wrong, there is no more filter. You can fill the parameter with a working class (not the config) like: "specops", or an array of these possibilities. SPECIFIC GROUP(S) - a step more for less randomization. You are at the group level. As factions, you can fill it with class (of group) or config or an array of these possibilities. Much more, you can add arrays of units/vehicles class(es). That's also a way to customize some groups, but one the contrary of synced edited ones, you'll not able to define appearance for vehicles or pylons payload at this moment. RADIUS AREA - radius of the module area, so the spawn area if no synced trigger areas. Useless if any trigger area synced. GROUP(S) DIRECTION - orientation of the module in 3den (shift mousse drag) . Do not write anything on field (it's a result, not an entry). Useless if any trigger area synced. GROUP(S) SKILL - As 3den, skill for whole group, with +/-10% randomized on each units. ENABLE DYNAMIC SIMULATION - As in 3den. See Biki for detailed explanation (recommended) CONDITION FIELD - checked every 2 seconds. So, much more convenient than a simple condition of presence at start! Feel free to do what you want but return a boolean. Examples: * spawning only at night : sunOrMoon < 0.5 * strengthening weakened side : INDEPENDENT countSide allGroups < 3 * waiting for more players : count allPlayers > 2 * even checking for 1000 m distance at least from any player: private _possAreas = _logic getVariable "possAreas"; (count allPlayers > 0 && allPlayers findIf {private _plyr = _x; _possAreas findIf {_plyr distance _x#0 < 1000} == -1} == -1) but that will not despawn or hide or disable the groups! See the dynamic simulation instead. REPEAT OCCURRENCE - the added times for re-spawning the same groups (not at the same place) . 0 means no more occurrence. -1 means infinite repeat. So if you want to spawn 3 times a group, set it to 2 (1 shot + 2 added) INTERVAL FOR REPEAT - A delay between 2 consecutive spawns , if the condition are met. If not, the spawn will wait for condition to be TRUE, then spawn, then wait for interval duration, then check for condition... min 30 sec max 2 hours. FORMATION OF THE GROUP - As usual. Sometimes this setting is reinitialized to default wedge. I didn't identify why. So check twice before OK button and save scenario. BEHAVIOR - (or behaviour, sorry) Same as usual COMBAT MODE - same as usual SPEED MODE - As usual. same little problem as formation. Check twice. INSIGNIA - I hope that works fine everywhere... CODE FOR GROUP - Blank of any code (without {}). Passes parameters are <group> <<leader>, <vehicles of the group> . For example, just write: params ["_grp","_lead","_vehs"]; private _wp = _grp addWaypoint [<aPosition>,0]; _wp setWaypointType "MOVE"; _lead forceFlagTexture "\A3\Data_F\Flags\Flag_red_CO.paa"; {_x setFuel 0.2} forEach _vehs No bracket, just like this. BASIC TASK - can be: * Do Nothing (the preferred one of dumb AIs) * Attack nearest known enemy. So the group will start after an enemy knowledge acquisition. Not before. I hope I managed air assets for chasing air assets... I can't imagine infantry running after a jet. * Chase nearest enemy. Same as above but the position of nearest enemy is known (for spawning attack waves for example) * Attack nearest Player (known enemy) . The group must acquire the detection of a hostile player. * Chase nearest player (enemy). The group will start the hunting on player's (updated) position. * Defend this area. some SAD waypoints in the area of the group(s). known difficulties - Mods like Unsung or CUP or RHS (all in fact) requires a sharp attention for the name of the factions/groups but also Types... of groups. You can't imagine hundreds of names for stupid things like "infantry" "armored" "mechanized" ... That should be normalized, but not! - Too many mods, even non used by mission, but just loaded on server (so ticked), will affect the randomization for nuts, and lead to unwanted results like Arma or CUP units during Unsung play. know bugs all corrected so far To do list: - respawn without delay on whole group death - add a filter for mods... A lot of work. Enjoy! All feedback welcome. [RELEASED]

I want to make a big Sector Control mission in the editor and then export to Singleplayer to play. I put a lot of Sector Control Modules on the map in the editor, I set Spawn AI Modules for BLU and OPF and exported to Singleplayer, in the beginning everything worked as it should, AI spawns, moves, fights with each other and conquers Sector Controls by map, then after I clicked Save & Exit to continue this mission later. But after reloading the save game I noticed that me and the AI (BLU and OPF) can´t capture Sector Controls. Sector Controls do not change color, they remain gray. The modules seem to have stopped working after the reload and need to be reactivated via script? How can I reactivate this? I wish I could save this mission so I could easily reload and continue later. Not that I have to play the whole mission in one piece. This is very important to me! If anyone can help, I will be very grateful.

Hello, does anyone know how to create the Zeus modules for the Zeus of Arma 3 Vanilla. I knwo how to create the modules for EDEN, but I don't see nothing for Zeus Modules https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Modules Thx.

Hi Everyone, I'm looking for some help regarding a zeus module that I am creating. To give some background, the module (when placed) should prompt the user to use sliders to configure a radius and number of AI with which to garrison buildings within said defined radius. I think I'm running into an issue with execution locality, as this works perfectly in the editor. Expected behavior: User selects the module in zeus and places it somewhere on the map Dialog box appears to ask them to configure radius and number of AI User hits OK and it calls another function to start placing AI relative to the module location In singleplayer this works as above (I imagine this is due to the server and client both being local) In multiplayer, the function to create the dialog is executed on the server (evidenced by debug output to the console), but a dialog does not appear for Zeus My module is defined as follows: class xeen_module_base: Module_F { icon = "\xeen_modules\insignia.paa"; category = "xeen_modules"; isGlobal = 0; isTriggerActivated = 1; isDisposable = 1; is3DEN = 0; curatorCanAttach = 1; scope = 1; scopeCurator = 1; }; class xeen_moduleGarrison: xeen_module_base { displayName = "Garrison Area"; function = "xeen_fnc_garrisonModuleDialog"; functionPriority = 10; scope = 2; scopeCurator = 2; class Attributes: AttributesBase { class GarrisonSpread: Edit { property = "xeen_moduleGarrison_GarrisonSpread"; displayName = "Unit Spread (m)"; tooltip = "The distance of buildings to be garrisoned"; typeName = "NUMBER"; defaultValue = "50"; }; class MaxPerBuilding: Edit { property = "xeen_moduleGarrison_MaxPerBuilding"; displayName = "Max units per building"; tooltip = "Max units per building"; typeName = "NUMBER"; defaultValue = "5"; }; //class ModuleDescription: ModuleDescription{}; // Module description should be shown last }; #include "description.hpp" }; and it calls the following function: /* * Author: Xeenenta * Opens the dialog menu for the garrison module * * Arguments: * 0: Logic <LOGIC> * * Return Value: * None * * Example: * [_logic] call xeen_garrison_fnc_garrisonModuleDialog * * Public: No */ // Parameters params ["_logic"]; _logicLocation = getPos _logic; diag_log format ["Spawning display with logic %1", _logicLocation]; // Create display createDialog "garrisonModuleDialog"; _display = findDisplay 99; // Set Variable _display setVariable ["_logicLocation", _logicLocation]; diag_log "Finished spawning display"; and my dialog is defined here: class garrisonModuleDialog { idd = 99; access = 0; movingEnable = false; enableSimulation = false; class ControlsBackground { class IGUIBack_2200: IGUIBack { idc = 2200; x = 0; y = 0.4; w = 1; h = 0.6; }; class RscStructuredText_1100: RscStructuredText { idc = 1100; text = "AI per building:"; //--- ToDo: Localize; x = 0.025; y = 0.68; w = 0.17; h = 0.05; }; class RscStructuredText_1101: RscStructuredText { idc = 1101; text = "Garrison Radius:"; //--- ToDo: Localize; x = 0.025; y = 0.44; w = 0.17; h = 0.05; }; class RscStructuredText_1102: RscStructuredText { idc = 1102; text = "0"; //--- ToDo: Localize; x = 0.1625; y = 0.68; w = 0.06; h = 0.05; }; class RscStructuredText_1103: RscStructuredText { idc = 1103; text = "0m"; //--- ToDo: Localize; x = 0.2; y = 0.44; w = 0.06; h = 0.05; }; }; class Controls { class RscButtonMenuOK_2600: RscButtonMenuOK { idc = 1234; x = 0.875; y = 0.88; w = 0.1; h = 0.1; onButtonClick = "[(findDisplay 99) getVariable ['_logicLocation', objNull], sliderPosition 1901, sliderPosition 1900] call xeen_fnc_garrisonModuleInit; (findDisplay 99) closeDisplay 1;" }; class RscButtonMenuCancel_2700: RscButtonMenuCancel { x = 0.75; y = 0.88; w = 0.1; h = 0.1; }; class RscSlider_1900: RscSlider { idc = 1900; x = 0.025; y = 0.74; w = 0.95; h = 0.1; type = 43; arrowEmpty = "\A3\ui_f\data\gui\cfg\slider\arrowEmpty_ca.paa"; arrowFull = "\A3\ui_f\data\gui\cfg\slider\arrowFull_ca.paa"; border = "\A3\ui_f\data\gui\cfg\slider\border_ca.paa"; thumb = "\A3\ui_f\data\gui\cfg\slider\thumb_ca.paa"; color[] = {1,1,1,0.5}; coloractive[] = {1,1,1,1}; sliderPosition = 0; sliderRange[] = {0,10}; sliderStep = 1; lineSize = 1; onSliderPosChanged="((findDisplay 99) displayCtrl 1102) ctrlSetStructuredText parseText str(sliderPosition 1900)" }; class RscSlider_1901: RscSlider { idc = 1901; x = 0.025; y = 0.5; w = 0.95; h = 0.1; type = 43; arrowEmpty = "\A3\ui_f\data\gui\cfg\slider\arrowEmpty_ca.paa"; arrowFull = "\A3\ui_f\data\gui\cfg\slider\arrowFull_ca.paa"; border = "\A3\ui_f\data\gui\cfg\slider\border_ca.paa"; thumb = "\A3\ui_f\data\gui\cfg\slider\thumb_ca.paa"; color[] = {1,1,1,0.5}; coloractive[] = {1,1,1,1}; sliderPosition = 5; sliderRange[] = {0,100}; sliderStep = 10; lineSize = 1; onSliderPosChanged="((findDisplay 99) displayCtrl 1103) ctrlSetStructuredText parseText str(sliderPosition 1901)" }; }; class Objects { }; }; Any thoughts?

To start off, I'm a massive fan of the Support framework - not enough missions make transport/logistics pilots really feel like they have a meaningful impact on the battlefield in my opinion, and I'm not a huge fan of the needless level of complexity involved with getting ALiVE working properly. However... Since we got the mission framework, it seems to have the hardcoded limitation that getting out of your chopper outside the base/leaving the base in any manner other than a helicopter results in a "returning to base, out of bounds" message. Now, I get that the mission is geared towards support objectives (they've specifically stated in the past it was designed this way so that when it was released alongside the Helicopters DLC, there would be a mission purely focusing on the logistics capabilities those new vehicles brought to the table) - it does it better than anything else. But the inability to have even a small player squad operating alongside a larger, busier air wing kind of sucks, especially when its due to a single option that could be as easily turned off as a single attribute in one of the modules. Is there any chance of getting in contact with Bohemia and seeing if they'd make this change? Alternatively, if people know a way around this limitation please let me know so I can implement it.

I created simple mission which contains simple elevator module for mission makers. The plan was to use empty elevator shaft inside Altis hotel building and recreate fully working elevator cabin and doors. I set followings targets Elevator should operate as close as possible to standard real elevators. Internal and external doors. Supported in multiplayer. Make it possible to walk inside cabin during movement. All kind of equipment should be transportable with elevator on the floor. Originally I wanted to make two separated independent cabins. Nevertheless it would brought several problems like increased number of objects, less space inside cabin and door wings do not have enough space to hide completely when two wings are considered as can be seen in following image. That mean 4 wings for internal and 4 wings for external doors would be required for each cabin. For this reason I have chosen simplification to one large cabin occupying whole shaft. And one internal sliding door and one external sliding door at each floor. In the next step I built cabin and doors from standard ArmA 3 objects. Number of object was kept low as possible in order to reduce HW load. Next phase was scripting stage. Multiple problems emerged. Originally was cabin pars held together using command attachto. Each component was attached to one root component, the floor. This root component was then moved between floors with small steps using setpost command. As the root component moved relatively smoothly the rest of the components was jumping and its refresh rate was roughly 0.5 s. Reason for his problem is hidden inside function attachto which has lower refresh rate for certain object types. This problem was solved by custom made function that simply set position to all components relatively to the root floor component in each floor step of the movement. Another problem happens when player try to walk on the elevator floor during movement. It is impossible and player is breezed. Solution I was able to found is following command player setvelocity [0,0,-0.4]; This command push player to the floor so there is contact between foots and the floor. Every time cabin move it is necessary to perform this command to provide player ability to move. Another problem emerged when scripts was tested at server. Cabin position was controlled server side only as setpos function has global effect. Object position refresh rate between server and client is very low, roughly 5 seconds. This problem makes elevator cabin at standard speed jump by 2 metres steps which basically leave player behind in the empty shaft. Solution for this problem is to build cabin completely locally at each client using createVehicleLocal and synchronise cabin position with server. Server control cabin position and broadcast frequently one value to the clients. This value represent current cabin altitude in the shaft. This helped increase refresh rate significantly. Cabin position was however still twitchy as server broadcast rate for variables is not high. For this reason another additional value is broadcasted from server which represent current elevator velocity. Velocity value is used at clients to interpolate movement between two received cabin positions. Another problem is transport of equipment especially dropped items inside cabin just freeze at the place where are laid and completely ignore cabin movement. The reason is that dropped is object type GroundWeaponHolder, this object does not simulate object physics so it has to be replaced with object type WeaponHolderSimulated. Thus server side script search constantly for GroundWeaponHolder objects inside the elevator cabin using command allMissionObjects "GroundWeaponHolder"; and replace them. Even thou WeaponHolderSimulated performs object physics simulation, it ceases to be simulated when engine detect that object is in stable position in order to reduce HW load. This make WeaponHolderSimulated objects to ignore elevator floor when cabin move. Solution is to frequently check whether WeaponHolderSimulated objects has zero velocity. If cabin is on the move and WeaponHolderSimulated object inside cabin has velocity it is nudged using command setvelocity [0,0, ElvtrCurrentSpeed]; This way is object speed synchronised with cabin speed. Another problem are small vehicles like robots. Their physics simulation also ceases when game engine detect stable position. This problem is solved similarly as pervious problem with dropped equipment using command setvelocity. Only problem is that it has to be performed at computer where robot is local (usually person who control the robot). For this reason server uses CBA_fnc_globalExecute function to make sure the command is performed at each computer. Elevator internal and external doors are synchronised same way as whole elevator vertical position using broadcasted variable. For user interaction ace interaction menu was used as more visually appealing counterpart to standard ArmA 3. Server side manager receive user inputs and control movement of the elevator to simulate real elevator behaviour. This experimental module proven that it is possible to simulate heavy machinery and its interaction with players and vehicles even in multiplayer.

Hey BIS Forums, Can anyone explain how SpawnAI unit costs are actually calculated? I'm working on a mission using the SpawnAI modules. The SpawnAI modules have a manpower cap of 50 by default and I'd like to tweak it to spawn more/less units of different types (infantry, armor etc). According to the MP Support Guidelines on the BIS Wiki... a rifleman costs about 0.5 an AA/AT soldier about 6 a MRAP about 6 an APC about 12 a tank about 27 The page says the values are calculated using the cost and threat values defined in the unit's config. I admit I'm not great at math, but I just don't see how they came up with 0.5 as an answer using those two values. Example 1 - a standard NATO rifleman ("B_Soldier_F") and open up his entry in the config viewer: cost = 100000; threat[] = {0.8,0.1,0.1}; Example 2 - NATO AT Missile Specialist ("B_soldier_AT_F"): cost = 130000; threat[] = {0.8,0.8,0.3}; According to the guidelines these units should cost 0.5 and 6 respectively. Clearly I'm missing something, so can anyone tell me how unit costs are actually calculated? Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, My Real World Weather mod has been out-of-date for quite sometime. So I finally got around to updating it to use a new API provider. Now it uses https://www.weatherstack.com instead of the previous, Wunderground. Also I've never made a release thread for the mod, so I figured I might as well do one now after the update. Anyways here it is. Cheers! WORKSHOP DOWNLOAD https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=879970502 Summary: Integration of a real-time weather API into arma 3. Grabs Real forecast data from an official reliable Weather Provider. Uses terrains Real World Counter-part Predicts future forecasts based on actual weather statistics. Option to sync time with location. Adds extra Immersion and Feel 3den Editor Extension (highly customizable module). Real-time weather Debug console. 32 and 64 bit support Auto config option included Keep in mind, This is a weather prediction system and it may not be entirely accurate at times. (Just like real life weather forecasts). The system does what it can with the data it's provided and makes calculations based on those. NOTES: 1. This mod runs on the server side, but is required by clients due to the newly created module. 2. Set Clouds on "Ultra" in video settings for best effects 3. You do need your own API key. You can get one for free at https://www.weatherstack.com Help/Questions: Where is the module? The module is located in the games editor ("Systems" >> "[HZ] Real-World Weather" >> "Real World Weather") Can I search for my own Weather Stats anywhere in the world?: Yes!, This System allows for dynamic search query's all over the world. With your own key simply enter the Country and City you want weather from. Everything is available to you in a easy to use Module If you are having issues getting data from the places you want, follow the steps below. Can I search using (Lat, Long) co-ords? Yes, If you have your own key. Replace Country with the latitude. Replace City with the longitude. What is a API key and do I need one? Yes, This mod does require you to own a API Key!. In short, API keys are unique id's which allow access to the Specific data services like Google, Weatherstack etc and are needed to prevent abuse and overload of the systems. Free API keys are usually limited to (x) amount of calls per hour or per day.

Hi, is there any possible way to toggle the visibility layer for a specific module so it won't clutter every inch of my modified Malden map? There are some modules that just have a simple marker but no outer transparent boundaries and it would be great to hide this effect while in 3d editor. Thanks for any help

Hi all, Team switching is one of the weirdest feature in Arma. If you are playing in SP, with several switchable units, some behaviors can be lost. If you switch, you can loose all supports (BI standard support modules). Reproducible, Vanilla, 3den: Add units: player + playable ones Add an artillery (the support type doesn't matter, it's just an example) Add the artillery provider module add the requester module link the artillery to the provider module, the provider to the requester module, the requester module to all switchable (playable in 3den) units. Preview Starting as player (the player unit in 3den), gives you the artillery support. No problem. Starting "as character" from any other playable unit does the trick also. No problem. But, each time you press "U" (or whatever key for switching menu) and you choose another unit, the support menu disappear. NB 1: No matter the method used: editor or scripted links with BIS_fnc_addSupportLink, the supports are lost on team switching. Only the first unit played at start can call supports. NB 2: a little workaround, tested but not guaranteed: addMissionEventHandler ["teamSwitch", { BIS_requesterFSM = nil; [yourRequestModuleName] execVM "A3\modules_f\supports\init_requester.sqf"; }]; Now if you switch, the support works.... A remaining point I failed to correct: At your first support call after switching, a hint message will say: "provider not available". Which is wrong. The support works.

Has anyone managed to add custom weps (bombs/napalm) to the support module pool of weps etc?Been looking thru several modules/functions pbo's and havnt found anything that looks like that yet.

Hello, I have written a module for carpet bombing for Sabre's secret weapon and Unsung. Unfortunately it's quite hard to use as one needs to know the class name of the plane (easy to get in Eden though) and the bomb weapon classname (very hard to get, through config viewer). Now I want to ease the setup of this module via a custom entry in the tools menu of Eden where one can select a bomber and bomb type through browsing an additional config entry, CfgCarpet. Before setting up dialog and what not, I tried to alter the config of a script placed unsung carpet bomb module in the Eden debugger. When setting the 'bomb' variable this change is not reflected in the module, though in the debug script the new value is shown: e = create3DENEntity ["Logic", "uns_ModuleCarpet", screenToWorld [0.5, 0.5]]; systemChat str (allVariables e); systemChat str (e getVariable "bomb"); e setVariable ["bomb", "flip"]; systemChat str (e getVariable "bomb"); The last systemChat prints flip. But when I double click the uns_ModuleCarpet Eden entity I still see the old value. Any solution to this, I suspect that the setVariable doesn't work to well with Modules. Alternative approaches to the problem of configuring a module is also welcome! Cheers, TeTeT

I would like to allow players to cancel tasks. I know it can be done cause I have seen missions where tasks can be canceled. But my tasks, which is made by modules cannot be canceled by players, they simply dont get the option.
