Hi all, Looking at making a Cold War scenario, but similar in style to the opening of BF1 in a kind of 'you are not expected to survive' kind of deal, is there a way to fade to black and give a message on screen when a player dies? This is for MP if it makes a difference. Thanks!

▶ What do you do on Vigor? I'm a Jr. Scripter working on creating / prototyping game mechanics and player interfaces. ▶ What is your contribution to the Vigor Team? I do my best to always be learning something new, both at work and in my personal life.. Whether it be the Czech language or an aspect of the Unreal Editor. For me, a day’s success is measured in the lessons learned. And from a technical perspective, my contributions are probably most visible in the Reward & Crate screens displaying cloud data to the player. ▶ What do you like about Vigor? I like the mentality of high risk, the high reward associated with the airdrop. I personally enjoy games that create this feeling of hypersensitivity and suspense that emotionally capture the player in a way that's unique or commonly connected with games like F.E.A.R. ▶ What do you want to see in Vigor? I hope to see more easter eggs. While there's already quite a few, I still feel there's room for more. It would be nice to hide some cleverly scripted actor within a level just to see how long it takes for the community to notice. 🙂 ▶ What do you do when you are not making Vigor? When I'm not working I do my best to stay creative and busy; that being said I try and balance my time among friends, goals & personal projects. ▶ Did game dev change your view on games and how? I think whenever your passion becomes your career, your mentality changes a bit. I thoroughly enjoy game-dev, but it certainly changes the way you experience games. I find myself far more analytical and taking longer to progress through the game as I’ve become overly detail-oriented. ▶ Your favorite games and why? I feel compelled to mention the Arma franchise, as I owe my career and love for game-dev to it. But growing up my favorite games were Banjo And Kazooie, Delta Force Black Hawk Down, and Stronghold Crusader. Unfortunately after joining Bohemia, I find myself playing games less in my free time. Hopefully, in the near future, I’ll be able to catch up on some of the recent releases. ▶ What's your favorite music, movie, show, book and why? This question has no short answer for me. But I love media that leaves the audience thinking. For example shows like Black Mirror, Maniac, or books like To Kill A Mockingbird. In regards to music, I was raised a metalhead, and spend a lot of time listening to thrash bands such as Kreator, Municipal Waste, DRI, & Testament. ▶ Is there something that you want to say to our community? Just that it's amazing to create content and receive feedback, so join the community discord and forum. ▶ You are an Outlander; humanity has fallen. What would you do? In reality, I think I’d find a nice shelter and only queue for encounters when I need essential resources. 🙂 Bonus Question (From Martin ) ▶ How do you enjoy living in Europe? What is the biggest difference for you? I absolutely love living in Europe. It seems every major European city is perfect for getting lost in for a weekend or so. Here in the Czech Republic, there are almost monthly festivities to keep yourself busy. It's a great place to live, I certainly recommend it to all my friends in the states considering careers abroad. After being here for a year it's rather hard to remember what the biggest difference was? The one that's reoccurring, and most frustrating in the summer, is that there is no ‘free’ water in Czech restaurants. You explicitly have to order it, in the states it's just always there. It's a terribly small thing but seems to be a reoccurring nuisance. Other then the one “pet peeve” I can't think of anything terribly different. Im sure theres a lot that I'm overlooking, but after a while, the Czech / European lifestyle just seems normal. 🙂

Hello there, I have been trying to delete an ammo crate with sqf if its inventory is empty (the one I'm using is "Box_NATO_Wps_F"). But I can't seem to figure it out. Any and all help is appreciated thanks :). I have tried things such as using getWeaponCargo and counting it to see if I can check if the array is empty but it always stays at 2 even if there is nothing inside the box.

guys, i tried to find help in exile mod forums but people there dont seem to be as much active as you guys are here. Im posting here to find some help cuz im stuck with this problem for more than a week. here it is: So guys, ive made a custom loot generator for DMS boxes. it runs great on arma 3 editor, but after a weak trying to make it generate loot for DMS boxes i gave up and came here. The thing is, i saw on DMS's fn_fillCrate.sqf script that i can create a custom function and make it spawn the loot for me. But the comments from Defent were not very clear, where should i put my script for dms to read? should i declare it in DMS's config.cpp like its vanila functions? how should i parse the function name in the _crate_loot_values1 variable? a string? is there a pattern for me to create my custom file for my function? Any captain out there to help me with this? I REALLY NEED HELP! ive made the hard part to program how i want the loot to be generated, i know how should i return my function to DMS's accepted pattern. I just dont know where should i put my function, and how DMS is expecting me to call it. DMS's instructions: For example, _weapons could simply be a number, in which case the given number of weapons are selected from "DMS_boxWeapons", or an array as [_wepCount,_weps], where _wepCount is the number of weapons, and _weps is an array of weapons from which the guns are randomly selected. OR: [ _customLootFunctionParams, _customLootFunction ] In this case, "_customLootFunctionParams" is passed to "_customLootFunction", and the custom loot function must return the loot in the form: [ [ weapon1, weapon2, [weapon_that_appears_twice,2], ... weaponN ], [ item1, item2, [item_that_appears_5_times,5], ... itemN ], [ backpack1, backpack2, [backpack_that_appears_3_times,3], ... backpackN ] ] this DMS instructions are located in a3_dms/scripts/fn_fillCrate.sqf ive tried to insert my function like the vanilla functions of DMS in the folder "/scripts" but i got no success, the missions wont spawn 😕 DMS error log says the mission spawned successfully with no errors (but it didnt) thank you guys!

Hey Guys! I would need your help regarding a piece of script that I'm trying to write. I try to simulate the player returning several items to an AI in order to complete a task. The intended behavior of this script is: _Check for a specific numbers of Items in the player's inventory ex.: 5 x firstAidkit, 1 x ToolBox, 5 x AntiRad etc, etc... _Remove the items that have been requested to complete the task _Set the task RECOVER ITEM to SUCCEEDED _Remove the "Give Item" action (quest_22) _Save the game _Add an Item to giftbox2 This is what I came out with : _questitems1 = [["FirstAidKit",5],["rvg_antiRad",5,6],["rvg_money",1000,1],["rvg_canisterFuel",1,20],["rvg_toolkit",1,3],["rvg_purificationTablets",5,6]]; if (_questitems1 in magazines player) then { player removeMagazine _questitems1; } else { if (_questitems1 in (backpackItems player)) then { player removeItemFromBackpack _questitems1; } else { if (_questitems1 in (vestItems player)) then { player removeItemFromVest _questitems1; } else { if (_questitems1 in (uniformItems player)) then { player removeItemFromUniform _questitems1; } else { if (_questitems1 in weapons player) then { player removeWeaponGlobal _questitems1; } else { player removeItem _questitems1; }; }; }; }; }; ["RECOVER ITEM", "SUCCEEDED",true] spawn BIS_fnc_taskSetState; quest2 removeAction quest_22; sleep 3; saveGame; quest2 addAction ["Talk to Theo",{cutText ["<t size='2'>Thanks for blablabla.</t>","PLAIN", -1, true, true],nil,1,true, true,"","true",3,false}]; giftbox2 addItemCargo ["Item_B_UavTerminal", 1]; I'm missing something in my nested statements as I tried to get it work with a unique item at first and it doesn't work. I'm not sure about the use of multi-dimensional array here but I don't see/know other ways to set differrent item with different quantities under one array. Some of the relevant pages I've checked out so far: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Array#Multi-dimensional_arrays https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Control_Structures https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/145490-check-player-for-a-item/ http://killzonekid.com/arma-scripting-tutorials-arrays-part-1/ I've been looking at it for too long now so I could use a fresh pair of eyes. Thank you. UPDATE: The solution to my problem. { if ((_x select 0) in magazines player) then {for "_i" from 1 to (_x select 1) do { player removeMagazine (_x select 0)}; } else { if ((_x select 0) in items player) then {for "_i" from 1 to (_x select 1) do { player removeItem (_x select 0)}; } else { if ((_x select 0) in backpackItems player) then { for "_i" from 1 to (_x select 1) do { player removeItemFromBackpack (_x select 0)}; } else { if ((_x select 0) in vestItems player) then { for "_i" from 1 to (_x select 1) do { player removeItemFromVest (_x select 0)}; } else { if ((_x select 0) in uniformItems player) then {for "_i" from 1 to (_x select 1) do { player removeItemFromUniform (_x select 0)}; } else { if ((_x select 0) in weapons player) then {for "_i" from 1 to (_x select 1) do { player removeWeaponGlobal (_x select 0)}; }; }; }; }; }; }; }foreach [["FirstAidKit",5],["rvg_antiRad",5],["rvg_money",1000],["rvg_canisterFuel",1],["rvg_toolkit",1],["rvg_purificationTablets",5]]; Enjoy!

So guys here is the problem, i might be taking your time for something very stupid like syntax error or something like this, since im new to scripting in Arma. But the problem is: I have a EXIlLE server, and i use a very customized DMS mission system. In most cases, its great standard config variables give me what i need to make what i want. But since im trying to do some kind of RPG in exile, i need more things that depends on players lucky. In most cases Im developing very simple systems that spawn everything with some kind of probability, like vehicles and, missions and other stuff. Now im trying to do this in the loot of DMS missions and im looking to this code for like, 2 days! ive already read all the arma wiki documentation to check, double-check, triple-check, infinite-check my logic and syntax and i cant find the error. every time that i start the sever with my script it wont spawn ANY mission. even ZCP stop spawning. im using in this case "sniper camp" mission: here is my code for dynamic loot (not using selectRandomWeighted at the moment for testing proposes): _weaponCountSG = round (random 4); if (_weaponCountSG == 0) then {_weaponCountSG = 1}; _weaponsSG = ["srifle_DMR_01_F","srifle_EBR_F","srifle_DMR_07_blk_F","srifle_DMR_07_hex_F","srifle_DMR_07_ghex_F","Exile_Weapon_DMR","Exile_Weapon_SVD","Exile_Weapon_SVDCamo","Exile_Weapon_CZ550"]; _spawnWeaponsSG = []; _spawnMagSG = []; _spawnListSG = []; for [{_sgW = 1}, {_sgW <= _weaponCountSG}, {_sgW = _sgW + 1}] do { _selectedWeaponSG = selectRandom _weaponsSG; _spawnWeaponsSG = _spawnWeaponsSG + _selectedWeaponSG; _magCountSG = round (random 3); if (_magCountSG == 0) then {_magCountSG = 1}; { _selectedMagSG = getArray (configFile >> "CfgWeapons" >> _selectedWeaponSG >> "magazines"); for "_sgM" from 1 to _magCountSG do { spawnMagSG = _spawnMagSG + _selectedMagSG; }; }forEach _spawnWeaponsSG; //other syntax that ive tried to do the same stuff /*for [{_sgM = 1}, {_sgM <= _magCountSG}, {_sgM = _sgM + 1}] do { private _selectedMagSG = getArray (configFile >> "CfgWeapons" >> _selectedWeaponSG >> "magazines");

Hello! I am trying to set the mission difficulty for a singleplayer scenario, I've seen how people do it for dedicated servers but it doesn't seem to work for a singleplayer scenario. The parameters I am trying to change are the HUD elements and reduced player damage. The showHUD command does not encompass all of the desired settings, I tried :( Any help would be much appreciated, thank you!

Long time reader of forums first time poster. This has been driving me up a wall for a while, I'm trying to figure out how to use "addMissionEventHandler ["eachFrame", {" properly when scripting for multiplayer missions. As it stands right now I'm using the following bit of code to make an empty prop object (big1) move smoothly through the air during the outro to the mission. addMissionEventHandler ["eachFrame", { big1 setVelocityTransformation [getPosASLVisual big1, getPosASLVisual big1 vectorAdd [0,10,0],[0,10,0],[0,10,0],vectorDirVisual big1, vectorDirVisual big1, vectorUpVisual big1, vectorUpVisual big1, 0.1]}]; Its works great in single player, and in multiplayer the host sees the object moving during cut-scene, but client players just see a stationary object. The code is executed in outro.sqf which is executed when the final task trigger is activated. I've tried using "if (hasInterface) then {..." in attempt to get it to run client-side, but that doesn't seem to be the answer. How can I get all clients to see this? Or, If I'm barking up the wrong tree and there's a better way of doing this any help or hints would be greatly appreciated.

For a MP server I'm trying to setup an area trigger where if entered by a vehicle, the trigger will empty the fuel tank. Now I know an easy way to do this is to name the vehicles and then add in to the trigger" vehiclename setfuel 0;" etc but I was wondering if there was an alternative way to remove fuel without having to name all the vehicles on the server? I've been trying various iterations of 'setfuel' like so, but none of them seem to work or do what I want. [_vehicle] remoteexec [setfuel 0, _vehicle]; If anyone can point me in the correct direction, that would be marvellous, thanks!

Hello everyone, i hope you can help me with my problem...... i try to rotate my Objects from a simple Script that when ever i press a button it rotate a little bit but if i just letting stay it without pressing anything the Object move back at it Start Position..... my Script when i roatiting it is in my keyhandler the folowing : case 18: { _Dir = getDir MoveObj ; _NewDir = _Dir + 0.3; MoveObj setDir _NewDir; };

Hey guys, what is the most efficient way to load your custom scripts during initialization? So far I've just been using [] execVm over and over and I can't help but feel there is a better way. Any better ways to list your scripts say as an "include" like in c++? I'm coming from a software developers point of view so throw what you got at me.

Hello! I am trying to loop some commands within an .SQF that includes IF ELSE statements. I need the script to loop while a certain variable is true so that the mission may later set the variable to false, disabling the script. Here is my current script: tester.sqf ____________________________________________________ _xxx3 = true; While {_xxx3 == true} do { sleep 1; if (istouchingground player) then { hint "You are on ground"; } else { hint "Game Detected you are in water, will reset position in 3 seconds"; sleep 3; if (istouchingground player) then { hint "Not in water anymore"; } else { player setpos [0,0,0]; hint "Position reset";};}; ______________________________________________________ After the player has been detected in the water (or not touching ground) I have the script run another check 3 seconds afterwards to ensure that the player is actually in water and not glitching out in air for a few seconds, as is common in Arma, so that is why I have included another IF-ELSE statement below. The "sleep 1" I included in the beginning is to help minimize the impact on performance, so that the script only runs every second instead of every frame. Running execvm "tester.sqf"; gives no error messages but the script does not run. I tried scouring the forums for a similar situation and somehow I haven't found anything. If anyone can help me out I would be very grateful, I've been stumped on this for a few days now. Thank you!!

I am new to mission creation and a scripting approach and my progress at learning has been good but looking to streamline what I am sure is a sub optimal process for loading new scripts and then testing those on live server. I am working on an A3Wastelands mission, now becoming increasingly customised it has grown from 6MB to sitting at about 10MB. I will explain my current workflow and welcome suggestions about changes to that to improve cycle time from new script developed to tested on server. Workflow Generate/modify new script - using Visual Studio Code - managing a local git repository to stage and commit all changes. I like the editor and combined with the git process is great to understand what you have changed, setting up for good rollback processes when it all goes skew. Some changes like syntax requires one set of brackets, edited in seconds. Clone from git folder on local computer to new local location, but without the git entries folder - they add to much to a folder size for next step. (5 seconds give or take) Generate local .pbo using .pbo manager to zip up the "gitless clone" copy of the mission. Compiling quick (10 seconds give or take) Using Filezilla connect to my.gameservers (that is the host provider I am using). Get new .pbo into correct mpmissions location on server, ensure configs line up and restart server. (with variable ADSL internet speed can be 1-5 minutes to upload). Restart server. (usually about 30-60 seconds to initialize server for login access from Arma launcher). Reconnect to server with local ARMA launcher and start game. (usually 2-5 minutes to upload new mission files, establish client session) Run server for period. Previous provider had a streaming log viewer functionality, new one doesnt, so using periodic log file (RPT) download, to then open log using GamutLogViewerProfessional. The line parsing, filtering in the log viewer is great, and fast, its just the continual download and lack of live streaming that has become annoying. Fast but repetitive. Most testing involves cycling sub missions quickly, fast timings for new missions spawning and quick expiry, god mode to poke the missions for responses required, and attempting to use diag_log to set log messages for error/logic/expected response flaws. (time consuming and rpt file entry problems currently) Based on responses observed in game or in logs, change code and return to step 1. Opportunities Things I know I dont know about, but had no luck finding answers yet - reference articles/sites would be fantastic. I think I might need to get RCON skills - but again a little unclear if that helps me more as an administrator vs a code tester. The admin stuff isnt a big deal at present. Live log streaming - seen evidence but dont have a solution in place for that at Gamerservers yet. .pbo generation - previous host had an inbuilt capability to compile the .pbo on the server reducing the upload traffic and time considerably, is the best way to look at installing a .pbo generator on the server myself for this? Is that a big deal to implement? git publish - seems more like publishing back to a public repository, wonder of i should be pushing to a local folder ie the one that wont have the .git folder, or could i git push to the server folder just the changes. No luck finding git answers to this myself yet. I do not use the debug console within the editor or the server when running - i think i am missing something about the debug console concept it appears lined up to force only very simple issues. Again lacking reference sources to learn more on that. For a complex mission with many scripts, are these something that can be tested in mission editor, or outside editor. I use editor for waypoints, additional buildings, manually generating mission routes that are then codified into sqfs., i dont test the sqfs in there yet, should I. Server memory consumption appears to be an issue as restart intervals increase. Previous server could run for 24 hours and stay under 2GB memory allocation, at 48 hours be under 150% and then by 72 hours crash due to over commit. Rather than double subscription settled for 24 hour restarts. New host does not have this easy monitoring indicator so i think i need an additional piece of software to monitor. suggestions? Anything else that I dont know, that I dont know about, sure there is heaps. Finally, anyone who has had the patience to get his far through this monologue, i appreciate your time so far. Even if you only have a suggestion for 1 item in workflow or a comment on an opportunity I welcome your input. I did 6 months of pascal, fortran, basic programming, but i refuse to say how long ago that was..... So suggest i write up a new C# routine, that feels well beyond where I am at now. Server management is new to me, but sort of getting the idea of the Arma approach to server side, client side management. Thanks

I am trying to update a older aircraft and one problem I am having is the ejection system, it is not working - when I eject from the aircraft, the ejection seat appears but hovers above the aircraft and nothing else happens. I have tried adding in this; I am not sure how to get it properly working, any help would be appreciated.

Voronoi diagram using Fortune's algorithm Here's a set of functions developed for my current project to generate Voronoi diagrams in SQF without the need for addons. What does it do? The code generates the edges of the Voronoi diagram from a given set of sites (positions). If you do not yet know what a Voronoi diagram is or what it's uses are check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voronoi_diagram. Example: Using the Altis towns as sites How do I use it? Installation: Download the example mission to get the code. Copy the voronoi folder to your mission. In your missions CfgFunctions class include "voronoi\cfgfunctions.ext" like so: class CfgFunctions { #include "voronoi\cfgfunctions.ext" }; Execution: The only included function you will need to call is VOR_fnc_getEdges: private _edges = [_sites, _width, _height] call VOR_fnc_getEdges; VOR_fnc_getEdges takes an array of sites (position2Ds), and width and height in meters for the area to scan. All sites must be inside the rectangle [0,0] and [width, height]. The function returns an array of edges that constitute the Voronoi diagram. Each edge is an array composed of: [ EDGE_START, - Start position EDGE_END, - End position EDGE_LEFT, - Site on the left EDGE_RIGHT, - Site on the right EDGE_NEIGHBOUR, - Internal usage EDGE_LINE_F, - f in the function for the edge's line: y = fx + g EDGE_LINE_G, - g in the function for the edge's line: y = fx + g EDGE_DIRECTION - 2-dimensional direction vector of the ray going from start to end, not normalized. ] Where do I get it? Link (voronoi_example.Altis.zip) Examples Known issues In some cases some edges may not find an intersection and only intersect with the bounding box. I haven't managed to isolate the issue yet but it seems to be a precision error in the intersection check. Suggestions are welcome. It's slow. For 50 sites a call in-mission takes about ~0.5 seconds which is very slow compared to good c++ code. Not entirely sure yet if it's because of my implementation or just SQF having a hard time with the complexity. In my in-mission testing 50 sites took about 0.5 seconds in an unscheduled environment and in scheduled took 1-2.5 seconds. During mission init the code is significantly faster, clocking in 150 sites in about 0.5 seconds. I can put this down partly to the way I handle data but not sure how much quicker I could make it. If anyone has the energy to dissect the code I'd love hear your input. Feedback Constructive feedback is always welcome. I've probably missed cases where the code will break. If you're reporting a bug please if possible also submit the following: The complete set of sites passed. Height and width passed.

Hello Community, As the title suggested my question is pretty short. Can you publish a custom made campaign (with chapters and stuff) on the Steam workshop? If that's possible I would be really glad to know how to do that. Thx!

So I'm not sure if this has been asked or what but from searching i haven't found it yet. So here is my question is it possible to add the animation/movement controls of a infantry and apply it to a vehicle like for instance; infantry gets into vehicle and said vehicle is basically a super sized infantry. The reason i ask is because i would like to add mechs/mech-type vehicles and i under stand the basics of coding from some other projects i have worked on for fun. I just kinda wonder/hoping that you would be able to apply the Infantry game controller to a vehicle profile so that it can have Armor/components that can be destroyed and repaired.

Hello guys! I have a mission, the author made a few cities to be captured. I want to add more cities to play longer. Here's an author's code for the cities: class Params { class FrontLine { title = "START"; texts[] = {"Sofia", "Delfinaki", "Ioaninna", "Paros"}; values[] = {3389, 5316, 5871, 9680}; default = 3389; }; }; And now i wonder - where did he get those id's? How can i find such ID for a city?

I've been stuck with a mission I can't finish without your guys help. I know some basic scripting but I don't want to spend days overcomplicating something if there is an easier solution. So here is the simple explanation of a script I'm going for: Let's say there are 10 blocks. Each are called block_1, block_2, etc. Now, after every 60 seconds the script will randomly select one (1) of the blocks and delete it. Then, this script will repeat after another 60 seconds by identifying the remaining nine (9) blocks and then selecting from one of those to delete. This process will continue until only 1 block remains. There is no probability needed, it just needs to remove one block repeatedly in the given time inputted until only one remains. I did find this script posted by Dreadedentity in my searches, but it's based on a probability of each object all at once. Then even if I add a loop to that script there are times where no objects are deleted. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hey Guys! I'm creating a mission and I want a task to be SUCCEEDED when a pop up target is shot. I've tried many things like trying to get the task to be succeeded when a gun is fired or when the target does down or comes up. Nothing has worked. I would appreciate any help! Thanks!

Hey guys, the title pretty much says it all. I have a pretty heavy amount on mission making under my belt and this is a question I have wondered for quite some time. On many of my missions I have a "recruiter" NPC that has addaction commands to recruit a variety of friendly infantry units to join the player squad. I'd love to have a way to set a "cost" for this function based on the players score (say 10 kills to recruit an AI squadmate). I am aware of the "Set Cost" module for zeus but I dont think that can be used in this way. I know that such things are possible with heavy scripting (thinking about the DUWS mods) , wondering if anyone has any semi straightforward solutions to this...

Hi there people, Is there a way to make a static artillery emplacement such as a mortar have an infinite range across an entire map via a script? I don't like using the virtual combat support modules as I like to hear/see the artillery being fired from a base camp far from the front lines. I've used the ALiVE mod and MCC forward observer artillery interface before however these both still require the artillery gun to be in range. I don't want to have to move Artillery vehicles across the map to get within range ya see. Thanks in advance, - Jack

Hello! I am offering free scenario creation for Arma 3 servers. I can do GUIs, scripting, lots of cool stuff like that. DM me on Discord: - https://discord.gg/cdWbxyv then DM Atomik#4432 Have a great day!
