hi guys, im trying to attach an Eventhandler to a plane, so when it is destroyed, all usermade actions get removed. The script is run by an action. Here is the script: am i missing something?

Edit: The error is gone, but it's still not shooting.

I figured out the fix for it! And I'm not gonna tell you because this took a week to figure out! lol no, but seriously, I decided to replace the DAC Configs inside the addon folder itself, and for whatever reason, that got rid of literally all the errors.

I'm working on a mission that doesn't have re-spawns and designed for quick firefights. My intention is to design a mission for a dedicated server with the following: If all Blufor (players) are killed, failure If time runs out, failure If all Opfor units are killed, victory Notify all players (even dead) when there is one player remaining Notify all players (even dead) when there is one enemy remaining have the same number of units and type of unit on the enemy side, i.e. 1 autorifleman blufor and 1 autorifleman opfor (shown in the initServer.sqf is already working) My experience with multiplayer scripting is limited and I'm struggling to understand why it works in local hosted multiplayer (as the host alone) but not on dedicated servers, issues include: After starting the operation using the action (see flowgraph) the LastMan.sqf will start running immediately, even with 2 blufor players Server, after starting the operation using the action, will stop updating unit positions and AI will not react. All players except yourself are running in place, coupled with sudden spikes in framerate loss when initially activated and unable to kill enemies. Enemies don't react to being shot or standing directly in front of them even. this problem isn't present on the locally hosted Possibly an issue of the server ending the mission locally but not for clients (just a guess)? Mission must still be working enough to continue the countdown timer, mission fails properly when timer reaches zero Maybe I should be getting rid of triggers entirely? But it always seemed like they synced across multiplayer better Using the trigger and (count Thislist < 2) is that when all remaining players enter one vehicle, it counts as one unit and starts the trigger Tried using setting the triggers to server only and using Bis_fnc_MP but led to the mission immediately ending upon starting the operation action Code Flowgraph Mission Source https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B85GbOCq33caWlhHNW1KcENzV00/view?usp=sharing Thanks for the help on this issue

Hello, I had recently tried tasking myself with adding the 20 MM statics to the back of vehicles. I've already tried attachTo and disabling the collision between the two. But, I'm still not all that impressed with the result because I still can't switch seats from the static. And I've already tried adding an action to move the player into the gunner seat. I was thinking, is there any other real good way to get this to work? Thanks in advance.

So, I've been trying to script some waypoints for some teams... The problem is, I'm trying to script a condition into the waypoint, so the unit will only move after the condition has been fulfilled... The units should only move after a unit called TriggerAttack is dead, so I though "EASY!, (!alive TriggerAttack) should do the trick..." This is what I scripted: _wp = _group_east_3 addWaypoint[[3920.5579, 4488.0127, 0], 0, 1]; [_group_east_3, 1] setWaypointBehaviour "UNCHANGED"; [_group_east_3, 1] setWaypointCombatMode "NO CHANGE"; [_group_east_3, 1] setWaypointCompletionRadius 0; [_group_east_3, 1] setWaypointFormation "NO CHANGE"; [_group_east_3, 1] setWaypointSpeed "UNCHANGED"; [_group_east_3, 1] setWaypointStatements[""!alive triggerAttack;"", ""]; Now... As some of you guys might know, it didn't work... This is what I'm getting in the .RPT file: Please... Help me... I'm going nuts and my wife is threatening to divorce me if I don't finish this thing and go to bed... Thanks a lot!

I have a question regarding Multiplayer scripting. I'm building a mission for multiplayer with some very basic scripts (example) But even those simple scripts seem not to work smoothly. Most of the time it's someone not seeing the script effect or running the script later than others. I tried for example to fly my players in with precaptured (unitcapture) helicopters. But when calling those with triggers (and nul = execVM "script.sqf") players said they arrived at different times, which led the to the conclusion that they all locally executed the execVM with a slight delay between each player. However when I executed the execVM with the Zeus-Ares Module "Execute Code Module" and picked "global" as the running Mode everything worked fine. The question is how can I achive that "global execute Mode" for my scripts without having to execute through Ares but being activated and executed by trigger.

How could I drop a bomb where my cursor is at (coordinates), with or without people being nearby?

_moni=_this select 0; _good=false; _max=true; { if(_x==0) or (_x==1) or (_x==2) or (_x==3) or (_x==4) or (_x==5) or (_x==6) or (_x==7) or (_x==8) or (_x==9) then { } else { _max=false; }; }forEach _moni; if(_max)then { _good=true; } else { _good=false; }; if(_good)then { if (!isNil "life_no_injection") then { life_no_injection = true; }; life_cash = life_cash + _moni; if (!isNil "life_no_injection") then { life_no_injection = false; }; Hint format ["$%1 has been added to your inventory", (_moni)]; } else { Hint format ["%1 is not valid", (_moni)]; }; Calling the code with this: //assume ctrlText 13 is valid (it is I tested it, the sqf calls the value perfectly fine class myClass: RscButton { idc = 1; action = "_nil=[ctrlText 13]ExecVM ""money.sqf"""; text = "OK"; //--- ToDo: Localize; x = 0.402031 * safezoneW + safezoneX; y = 0.214017 * safezoneH + safezoneY; w = 0.04125 * safezoneW; h = 0.0549967 * safezoneH; colorBackground[] = {-1,-1,-1,0.3}; }; It has to be a simple mistake, I know c++ a form of this works (string is an array of chars) but idk if it is valid for arma 3.

Hello, guys. I´ve created a tow truck and as you can see im trying to tow the vehicle in the same position i retrieve using this code. private["_coche","_posicion","_veh"]; _veh = vehicle player; _coche = nearestObject [_veh,"C_Offroad_02_unarmed_F"]; _posicion = getPos _coche; _coche attachTo [_veh, _posicion]; And it works but the car dissapear and i think it goes to the world coordinates... I´ve tested this too: private["_coche","_posicion","_veh"]; _veh = vehicle player; _coche = nearestObject [_veh,"C_Offroad_02_unarmed_F"]; _posicion = _veh worldToModel (getpos _coche); _coche attachTo [_veh, _posicion]; But the car inserts under the tow truck bad as you can see here: What i want to know if is there any method of getting the CURRENT position of the car, and attach it to the same position? I know if i try the second script i posted and doing a +1 on Y axis i can put it correctly but i have to do that for every car i create, so i want to know if theres a global way of doing the same.

As of currently i am wondering how to place down single weapons in the arma 2 AO editor, i looked up a guide on youtube, and it did not work. the weapon im attempting to place is a makarov, yet when i type in the code the video is asking me to type, it doesnt work, if anyone knows a solution to this please let me know alongside where i can go to find other weapons and ammo. The map im working on is a attack where you are a civilian who is frantically searching for weapons to defend themselves against enemys who are attacking their neighborhoods

Hey! Quick question. I'm trying to set up a mission that uses ALICE 2 to spawn civs and traffic, but I don't want the player to be able to hitch a free ride off of them, as all the vehicles spawned are unlocked. How can I change this so they're all locked at spawn? Thanks!

Hi! I've been around since OFP, playing online since 2010 at Hotshots. I very much enjoyed Benny's CTI, I enjoy exploring the vast and beautiful Arma worlds and I'm a vet, thus I'd like to combine these aspects onto a semi-serious CTI immersion for single players (just due to lack of my MP scripting experience, but if the interested person is more into that...) Over the last year, I have tried several different approaches and community AI scripts to create a decent SP CTI. The concept is solid, the core element has been written and tested, so now its about putting some horsepower onto the road. If you - are a CTI enthusiast - like to develop a dynamic SP experience for Arma 3 - are not into survival/zombie/life, preferably also with mil background - have at least beginner coding skills - can spare some hours a week to contribute Feel free to ask and respond in this thread, contact me by PM or by Skype (look for ZeroG, am using the same avatar). Best regards, ZeroG

Hello everybody. I've been having some trouble with Waypoint condition blocks. I would rather actually say that im having trouble scripting to test if a variable is set to a certain integer. My problem lies as such: Waypoint 1 Condition Block : See if _Variable = 1 If it is, Go to Waypoint 2. So pretty much I put a trigger to set _Variable = 1, and when the group reaches the waypoint with the condition they do not move at all to the next waypoint. How can I script a block to check if a variable is set to a certain integer. Thank you in advanced.

Hi AmrA 3 community. I am pretty new to this stuff and have to apologize in advance if I post this in the wrong place. I am trying to create a mission for my friends. I have completely fallen in love with mods, but as it seems these might cause somewhat of a problem for me. This is what I am trying to accomplish: 5 units from the Norwegian Units mod with customized loadout. ---------------- My first problem is that even though I configure something like this in the backpacks, going out of loadout editor and back in just completely changes everything: 5 x 5.56 ammo 10 tourniquet (ACE3) 5 Packing Bandages (ACE3) This gets changed to not new items, but more of the already chosen ones until it is full: 16 x 5.56 ammo 20 tourniquet (ACE3) 18 Packing Bandages (ACE3) This problem I was able to fix by saving a loadout with the Norwegian Units items I wanted, then loadout to a normal NATO unit. My unit is no longer a Norwegian Unit, but this doesn't really matter to me as I have the same gear. ---------------- My second and unresolved problem though is that random items seems to appear in my loadout even though it doesn't appear in loadout editor. If I remove all items in uniform, vest and backpack (loadout editor) this is what is left: Uniform2 x Rangefinder 10 x Basic Bandage (ACE3) 10 x Tourniquet (ACE3) 5 x Morphine (ACE3) Vest1 x Rangefinder Backpack1 x Rangefinder 6 x Morphine The uniform is full even though no items is added in loadout editor. How is it possible to remove these items? I have tried this in the units init: this removeItemFromUniform "Rangefinder"; this removeItemFromUniform "ACE_fieldDressing"; this removeItemFromUniform "ACE_tourniquet"; this removeItemFromUniform "ACE_morphine"; This leaves me with this in the uniform: 22x Basic Bandage 16 x Morphine So I'm back to square. The rangefinder and tourniquet dissapeared, but ArmA somehow just added more of the other items to still utilize 100% of the space in my uniform. ---------------- I am literally pulling my hair. How can I get rid of this issue. Please please someone help me out. I'm frustrated out of my mind. I am aware there is something called random "optional no randomisitation" in the "Norwegian Units" mod folder, however this doesn't fix my problem These are the mods I am using https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28809866/mods.html

I am relatively new to ArmA having only played ArmA 2 and Arma 3 Apex. I have always enjoyed making missions, but I have never done anything very complex with the editor. I would like to start scripting more in missions. If possible can anyone direct me to a place where I can learn how to script or teach me the basics.

I tried to create a zombie (Zombie & Demons mod). Looks like they work fine. But they doesn't move. The zombie can turn right or left, but he can't move. I read, that if you create unit with this command - he will have an animal logic. Is there a way to make him act like normal unit...? Command 'createUnit' is not an option, because of the limit. You can't create so much zombies like in dayz with that... Anyone knows maybe the solution...? :)

Hi All Im making a script for a milsim unit i play with, and the script i made causes infinite loading screens, so far i havent been able to uncover the issue. So i hope someone here on A3 forum is able to help. Here is the ammobox init: this addAction ["<t color='#FF7722'>Recruit</t>", "loadouts\Recruit.sqf"]; this addAction ["<t color='#FF7722'>Rifleman UCP</t>", "loadouts\RiflemanUCP.sqf"]; this addAction ["<t color='#FF7722'>Rifleman</t>", "loadouts\Rifleman.sqf"]; this addAction ["<t color='#FF7722'>Anti Tank</t>", "loadouts\AntiTank.sqf"]; this addAction ["<t color='#FF7722'>Combat Engineer</t>", "loadouts\CombatEngineer.sqf"]; this addAction ["<t color='#FF7722'>Combat Medic</t>", "loadouts\CombatMedic.sqf"]; this addAction ["<t color='#FF7722'>Fire Team Leader</t>", "loadouts\FireTeamLeader.sqf"]; this addAction ["<t color='#FF7722'>Squad Leader</t>", "loadouts\SquadLeader.sqf"]; this addAction ["<t color='#FF7722'>Platoon Leader / 2IC</t>", "loadouts\PlatoonLeader.sqf"]; this addAction ["<t color='#FF7722'>MG M249</t>", "loadouts\MGM249.sqf"]; this addAction ["<t color='#FF7722'>MG M240</t>", "loadouts\MGM240.sqf"]; this addAction ["<t color='#FF7722'>Marksman</t>", "loadouts\Marksman.sqf"]; this addAction ["<t color='#FF7722'>Flight Medic</t>", "loadouts\FlightMedic.sqf"]; this addAction ["<t color='#FF7722'>Heli Pilot</t>", "loadouts\Pilot.sqf"]; this addAction ["<t color='#FF7722'>Jet Pilot</t>", "loadouts\JetPilot.sqf"]; The pupose is to make a box will all loadouts preset so a new player just have to mousewheel select class then boom all the required equipment to survive an operation.

Hi everyone! I've faced a problem, when spawning a structure, consisting of 500+ objects, on demand. When it happens, one or another random object from this structure doesn't show itself physically (for every player, so it seems to be not a client-side problem). I'm wondering if there's a way to prespawn an objects in any virtual way and when they needed - just to enable them or clone into a real ones. The hideObject way isn't appropriate for this, because the hidden objects are still participating in server-side calculations. That's why i've decided to use deleteVehicle after this massive structure done it's job in scenario (it really saves a server FPS). I've tried to set for every such object "_obj enableSimulation false; _obj allowDamage false;" but it seems not to be helpful when this kind of complex structure (consisting of 500+ objects) are on the map in amount of 3 or more. I really appreciate any help, guys. Thanks!

Hey Guys, I am making a mission with a shooting range and vr targets (based of Feuerex advanced shooting range). The mission that I am making is meant to play alone but also with multiple people. The scripts that Feuerex has made are nice for 1 person. If multiple people put on the glasses, then will for every person that has a glass on spawn it own target(s). My idea to make this right is if the script has detected that the player has glasses on, that there will be an option available in game to use Radio Alpha to activate the target spawn script. The only problem is that I don't know if this is possible and what commands I have to use. This is because I just started scripting and I am still learning how everything works. I hope somebody can help me out. Regards Oetjel Feuerex mission edited for me: https://www.mediafire.com/?je5881tccczhwgw My mission using some of Feuerex his scripts: http://www.mediafire.com/file/dfse8b9iq24mks6/ShootingRangeAdvanced.Tanoa.rar

So I'm having an issue with setting a backpack skin onto my Altis Life server, before I continue I have posted on their forum as well but I can shake the feeling I'm a beggar when I post on there, I get the feeling the help is very, shall we say, limitied by choice, granted they are extremely helpful when they reply and I am very grateful for the help they provide but I kind of want to expand that help and not just confine it to the forum. Now to the issue. When I try and add the backpack skin in with the "if(backpackContainer player)" code my database throws a tanty and just gives me the 'request received from server.... validating' I've come to the conclusion that with the 'backpackContainer' part it's conflicting with the container sql code needed for housing storage. I'm fairly familiar with Arma coding but not that advanced to figure out a solution, so has anyone had this problem or doesn anyone know a solution the to problem, I'm at a loss as to fixing it. Thank you. (Please sir may I have some code?)

Greetings everyone, I am sorry if my question is not apropriated here but I have searched and I have not found that which I seek. Is there any plugin, mod or custom settings that improves Arma 3's ingame editor scripting capabilities (the code windows in init, triggers etc) ? It would be great if it was possible to make those text boxes behave more like a normal text editor, with line droping, bracket completion and other things. Does anyone know something of the sort? Cheers, Tansvanio

Greetings, I'm looking for some one to script me up a logistic script that does the following things. General description: 2 Ammo trucks spawn at timed intervals with certain kit in them. They then make there way to a destination on the map, and once they reach the point. They despawn and their supplies gets orginized and distrubted to nearby crates in the base.Followed by a notification that the base has been resupplied. If the convoy takes damage or casulties a new task comes up that request assistance and gives the last location of the convoy. If the players locate the convoy they may repair, recover, or call in a total loss. Regardless after 30mins the convoy despawns and the cycle continues. Features should include the following. Convoy AI interaction Convoy should have custom kit, and be on "careless" for most of the trip. If the vehicles are disabled, or tires pop. Units dismount and the task is fired off. If players repair the vehicles, the units re-mount and continue on If vehicles are destroyed or crew is killed the task fires off. Upon arrival of site and despawn, kit is distributed to the proper crates on the base. Convoy can be adjusted for auto-despawn to assure that glitches and other things are preventing it from being completed. Player Interaction Players can radio in three options based on condition of convoy if convoy is disabled but no casualties. Players can opt to repair vehicles. If convoy AI are dead but vehicles are intact, players can opt to recover supplies by driving trucks themselves. If convoy is destroyed, players automatically declare total loss. No matter what decision Convoy will reset after a certain time. If convoy trucks are player driven, they despawn the trucks. Other conditions/optional Supplies is kept track of, if maxed out convoys don't happen. linked to Alive reinforcements, adding to the overall groups supplies. Helicopter variant for sling loading vehicles for supplies. edit: I'm willing to pay for this work.

i want to gather a list of scripts to improve mission making and such. like a script to garrison AI into structures and to make them wander around on their own within an area a script so artillary will fire whenever a entity enters a set area and many more
