so me and my friends set up a story line and everything is almost perfectly set but I've run into a slight problem.... we made a unit yada yada, i played online to see if our patch was showing and it was, everything looks perfect shows up on the shoulder and on planes cars ect. but when i run the mission i created it seems the patch doesn't show up at all. it still shows the unit tag above my player name so if someone knows a fix to this it would be much appreciated. (running the mission in multiplayer on a lan based server)

Hello everyone! Sorry if I post a duplicated topic, but I still need a help. I have a problem that I couldn't find a solution to. On my dedicated server I need to handle players when they connect to a lobby, but unfortunately the onPlayerConnected event doesn't satisfy my needs. The problem is the onPlayerConnected and its stackable version only appear when a mission is started and it's doesn't work when there is the lobby or a briefing time. I would like you guys to give me some possible solutions, I just need to call a script when a player connects to the server in any time. Thanks in advance!

Hello forum, Recently I made a mission that involves a linear campaign with 6 different timelines. In it you switch between ai characters after a certain trigger is activated. (Screenshots from Tier 1 Stories: Afghanistan) Link to Mission The problem i've ran into is that switching characters works in singleplayer by utilizing a trigger with "selectPlayer" in its init. But when on multiplayer/coop it no longer works. Does anyone know a workaround or have any ideas? The goal is to make this scenario coop. Thank you for your time.

Script Example (which I use in my mission): [ Truck, "<t color='#58D68D'>Enganchar UH60</t>", "\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\holdAction_loaddevice_ca.paa", "\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\holdAction_loaddevice_ca.paa", "(_this distance _target < 3) && (Truck_Bar distance Heli_1 < 10)", "(_Caller distance _target < 3) && (Truck_Bar distance Heli_1 < 10)", {}, {}, { null = ["Scripts\Interacciones\Remolcador\Soltar_Heli_1.sqf","BIS_fnc_execVM",false,false] spawn BIS_fnc_MP; [Truck,_actionId] call BIS_fnc_holdActionRemove; }, {}, [], 5, 6, true, false ] remoteExec ["BIS_fnc_holdActionAdd", 0, Truck]; ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I put this Script in my Init.sqf file, one appears every time a player joins my dedicated server. Is there a way to fix that? the problem is where do I put my script? or is it a typical Arma 3 problem?

I've got this line of script on several waypoints- [_soldier1, _soldier7] allowGetIn false; _veh setUnloadInCombat [false, false]; and it works until they activate a hold waypoint, even thought that waypoint has the script line on it, the squad leader still orders everyone to get in and the heli lands to pick them up. I cant figure it out, the pilot isnt even in the squad, but the gunner is and the pilot responds to the getin orders by landing. The hold waypoint is linked to radio trigger, and the one after is a load, when I do want them to get in, synced to the pilots own load waypoint. But all further waypoints get screwed because the squad has already loaded. I read that "unassign vehicle" can prevent them boarding prematurely, but I have not figured out how to write this command properly, or where to put it. could someone write an unassignvehicle script for me? helicopters' variable name is "wendy". any help greatly appreciated

Hello everyone. Hope you are all doing fine in these hard times. Just finished the first draft of a small collection of scripts that allow someone to create a PvE, PvP or PvEvP sector control mission and wanted to share here in case someone may benefit from it. I am not sure this is the right place to post, but I thought that since this is not a mission (no map is included here, just a collection of script and accompanying files) the missions channels wouldn't be the right place. And as this is just a collection of scripts I thought that this place would be more appropriate. It is quite straight forward and easy to set up the mission and many aspects are controlled with parameters. It is SP and MP compatible, but for SP gameplay one must set the parameter value in the description.ext file. There is (unfinished but adequate) documentation included and some of the functions implemented, although (unfortunately) pretty much undocumented as of yet, they are quite short and easy to follow (in my opinion) and one could easily tweak them to use them outside of the context I use them here. The collection is held on GitLab and you can find it here. If you would like to avoid clicking on links but still interested in laying an eye on the scripts feel free to ask for a Google Drive link or I could send them to you in any way you would prefer. Take care, stay safe and... ArmA a lot!

So, i'm having this issue where my mission won't load, it will load up the slot selection screen but after it is loaded, it will show the "splash" screen that shows the onLoadImage and just before the map, it will throw us back to the Slot selection screen. This mission is not much more complex than what me and a friend of mine usually do. The mission is a little bit complex but not efficiently scripted, so i thought "scripts are the issue here" but no, turns out scripts work fine, tested the mission on my computer running as a server and it worked fine, no error whatsoever, me and my friend tried playing it with no issues, but when we tried it on a small dedicated server we rented, it didn't work, so i took a look at the .rpt files, well i found that there's something i've never faced before: 20:54:59 Client: Nonnetwork object d8640140. 20:54:59 Client: Nonnetwork object d865e0c0. 20:54:59 Client: Nonnetwork object d8684180. 20:54:59 Client: Nonnetwork object d86ba140. It keeps repeating after each reset and from an extensive search on the forums, i've found absolutely nothing that helps me so far: Removed Zeus and Game Master added the description.ext Have no headless client on the server nor do i call it at any given time Does anyone has an idea as to why this happens? The mods i used: CBA_A3 Ace CUP Terrains - Core Island Panthera RHS USAF RHS AFRF RHS GREF Ace Compat for each one Last month we played a whole campaign on these mods with no issue. Link to the RPT Thanks to anyone who might help.

Hey guys, at the moment i am working on an idea to implement a working weapon smithing solution which i was looking forward for a long time. Recently the function "addWeaponWithAttachmentsCargo" was implemented and finally i saw my chance to create the script. Above you can see the existing iteration for this workbench. At the moment you can open the dialog and attach all the compatible items to the players weapon. In the following link you can see an existing multiplayer mission, where the system was implemented: https://github.com/LukasMarschall/Arma3BattleRoyale/tree/master/IslandThunder.Malden/dialogues Looking forward to see your opinion and feedback. Cheers, Luke

Hello, I've been thinking about a possible MOD for Arma 3 that could really produce some butt-clenching, heart pounding, gameplay moments. It's heavily inspired on the Battle Royale mod which is dying out sadly, and there's some MMO elements in them too. Anyways, I've made a small presentation that explains the idea better: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1LYfntb3MyRWQUp3Eyju9cyEopTPzSF_dRzpS99TxcvE/edit?usp=sharing I'm no developer, my goal with this post is to just 'test the water' and see if there is some interest in a game mod like this. Secondly if someone can enlighten me on how much work creating a minimal viable prototype of this MOD would take, or point me in the general direction of someone that can help me get this going, that would also be greatly appreciated. Thank you! best regards

Hi, i got the following drawIcon3D script that shows the players names above their heads: onEachFrame { _units = nearestObjects[(visiblePosition player),["Man"], 17]; _units = _units; { _color = switch (playerSide) do { case (EAST): {[1,0,0,1]}; case (WEST): {[0,0,1,1]}; case (independent): {[0,1,0,1]}; case default {[2.55,0.55,0,10]}; }; if (side _x isEqualto playerSide) then { if (!(lineIntersects [getPos player, getPos _x, player, _x]) && alive _x) then { drawIcon3D [ "", _color, [visiblePosition _x select 0,visiblePosition _x select 1, (visiblePosition _x select 2) +((_x ModelToWorld (_x selectionPosition "player")) select 2)+ 1.83], 45, -2, -1, name _x, 2, 0.035, "Puristamedium", "center" ]; }; }; }forEach _units; }; the problem: this shows also the names thought objects where i cant see the player normaly... how can i fix this? also it would be nice if my enime is in a car i would see his name above the car (not works now). Thx for your answer's 😄

Hello! Now, I am kind of new to the "running arma 3 server" scene but have ran certain servers before. The Arma 3 Life scene for awhile was stagnant and there was too much of a variety to choose from and the variety honestly had little to no development that actually improved the experience in game. I have been a member of life servers for over 4 years now, being on many different communities and experiencing a lot of good, bad, and frustrating times. This is why I am trying to bring back Arma 3 life to it's former glory, in 2019 it's hard to think of a good FREE server to play on besides Altis Life and maybe City Life. But I don't want Altis, or Lakeside as the map. I want a fresh brand new map built from the ground up. A place where people can experience for the first time and explore many different locations. I want fresh mods customized to bring the best roleplay experience to the community. Custom building, possibly, and custom scripts. Now, a few things are is that I NEED HELP. Specifically with development, scripting, and hosting the server. If anyone is willing to help me with these things please shoot me an email -- jaylenryan@icloud.com A few specific questions that I have are.... 1. What host should I use to run the server if my connection isn't the best (because college internet). 2. How do I script mods into my server, add mods, and set up TFR so we can have a better VOIP in game. 3. Website creation has never been my strong suit, so how should I go about that? 4. How do I create a custom map, from the ground up? Thank you again for taking the time to read this, and again, if you'd like to contact me either reply here or shoot me an email -- jaylenryan@icloud.com Have a great day!

Greetings everyone, could you help me pls with that build. I'm a rookie in Arma 3 Editing. I'm just want to do dynamic AI take off from STRATIS AirBase and after take off they moved to Trigger who delete them, and repeat this every time in Scenario. Could you steer me in the right way to build this. Thanks. What i did. First: MultiPlayer ModuleRespawnVehicle_F - connect to My Vehicle names FBH - AI unit get in - MovePoint to Trigger {deleteVehicleCrew _x} forEach crew; deleteVehicle FBH;}, and they don't respawn, bacause Trigger delete them forever. And i'cant find any replacement to this function for my build. And second : i dont know how to respawn units. Please treat with understanding.

Some video capture using Firewill's F-14D and Mikey74's CarCom Script (2nd video has bug shown on Tomcat "gear down in flight" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kMdmiIygEU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfqLU5B5dFI Has anyone seen this or know of any fixes? UPDATED: By ACTUALLY SEARCHING for the answer, I found (stumbled across) a snippet of aircraft actions in response to a post in 2011, by the great kylania. on activation trigger anyUnit action ["LandGearUp", plane]; at end of deck. Gear up. So, in brief it's fixed.... I think.I mean it works all of the time. Thank you! Mods please lock post as solved

Hello Everyone, I'm new to the arma modding community so bare with me. Using the Eden editor and scripts using ASL i was successful in creating a HitTracker, it works perfectly withing the mission that i created on and if i copy and paste the scripts it work on any mission i create or download. But continuously coping and paste is a hassle so i was trying to make the scripts into a mod. This is where i ran into a problem, i learned how to make the .pbo and the Kay, but the config.cpp i doubt is correct(Because i only initialize one script). My question to the community is can you initialize more the one script in a mod, and if you can how do i do so? (My code is on my work computer so i cant post it, but its wrong anyway.) If anyone can post a template of how to initialize the scripts i think i can figure it out from there.

Hello, someone knows how a trigger can be activated just when a sound ends? For example when a trigger starts a sound, i want when it ends, another trigger should be activated. I would be so grateful, thanks

Hello! I have been trying to make a wheelchair (Yes a wheelchair!) go faster (It currently goes about 12-14 km/h) I would like it to go 200 km/h. I can´t figure it out my self, I have tested to use "limitSpeed" and "setVelocity" but the problem is that I am not really so good at scripting so I would like to get some help to get it the script to work. Thanks!

Hi there, It's quite annoying when someone else has used the gunner seat of a Heli, offsetting its position, and you later decide to Manual Fire from the pilot's seat and have a misaligned gun. I've been putting a lot of effort into setting up a script that can deal with this via a User Action, however I'm getting a few errors. A few of them are about missing " ) ", " ] ", " ; " (though I have done my best to never leave these out, including using a bracket checker plugin), or invalid variables (which is probably because it's checking a variable before it's set). To summarise, when a player pilot is in an armed Heli, they shall get a user action to centre the turret. This will have either the current AI or a temporary, invisible AI in the gunner seat target a spawned marker in front of the vehicle (if a player is in the seat it won't affect them). I currently have five six files in relation to this. EDIT: Below has been updated to the latest working script - If you get errors make sure there's no invisible characters using Word It requires CBA mission.Malden\init.sqf mission.Malden\description.ext mission.Malden\functions\functions.hpp mission.Malden\functions\fn_centreTurret.hpp mission.Malden\functions\fn_allowCentreTurret.sqf mission.Malden\functions\fn_turretDir.sqf Currently, unit spawning, marker generation and AI watching are working as intended, however the user action does not appear and if i set off turretdir.sqf manually ( [] execVM "turretdir.sqf"; ) it errors. EDIT: All working as intended. I'm not as proficient at SQF scripting as I'd like to be, so I've probably made some very obvious mistakes. Any help setting this up correctly and optimising would be appreciated. I will keep trying in the meantime.

Hi All, First time on these forums. I've created a unoptimized script that clears roads of obstacles to make it easier for AI to navigate past the clutter. It works to clear the roads but takes so damn long to execute. Any ideas here? Basically, the script works by looking for all roads within a radius then obtains all the nearest objects on that road and hides them. //0 = [player,1000,10] execvm "clearroad.sqf"; //here's what to put in the init.sqf //item 1 is the object that will be the center e.g. player //item 2 is the radius where all the roads that will be impacted e.g. 1000m around the player //item 3 is the area of the road that will be cleared e.g. 10 meters of road to be cleared _pos = _this select 0; _radius = _this select 1; _radius2 = _this select 2; _roadList= getpos _pos nearroads _radius; _notobjects = []; _i = 1; _arraycount = count _roadList; while {_i < _arraycount} do { _arr = nearestObjects [getpos (_roadList select _i), [], _radius2]; _arr2 = nearestterrainObjects [getpos (_roadList select _i), [], _radius2]; _notobjects = _notobjects + _arr + _arr2; _i = _i + 1; }; {hideobject _x} foreach _notobjects; kind regards, Lemon

Gentlemen, I finally got around to turn a script collection into a addon, ready to be uploaded to steam. I however need to provide the user with a ingame/eden editor module interface so the user can adjust the settings of the script/addon before i can release the addon in order to make it customizable. E.g. disable feature 1 from spawning, increasing the amount of times feature 2 spawns, define classnames for an array and so on. I have unsuccessfully tried to wrap my head around this wiki: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Modules I get the example from the wiki above to work in Eden Editor, however, I get quite lost when trying to adapt this example or create a new module from scratch for my addon. What do I want to do: Let the addon user define variables in Eden Editor that will then be executed accordingly in the features of my addon according to these settings. I want to have a "module - mask" per feature that lets the user change or set variables that have so far been defined and altered in a settings.sqf. (see below spoiler) As an example for the feature that spawns Banditcamps: the below variables need to pass on as true, false or representing a number, so once a feature is executed, it can access these variables with the desired values. Ideally i am looking for a template with a few options to enter a number, and a few options for true/false and one or two to enter a string (classnames, or marker names for arrays). Any help, insights or link to alternative guides is greatly appreciated!=) cheers Vd

Hi, all Does anyone have a copy of these scripts, both by General Barron, they'd be happy to share? The latest version of the custom formation script is 1.5 - I am unsure what the latest version of the squad rush script is. Thank you!

I've been using this script for some time by JohnO that I stumbled across in some forums and I made it a point to make his script even better! This is a good script to use to make any survival scenario better! As In my case I use this script with my Ravage releases. The Script: Changelog/ edit notes: v1.5 JohnO- Removed legacy fatigue settings and put new stamina settings in v2.0 MuRaZorWitchKING - added colorization of effects to make them more "appealing" v2.5 MuRaZorWitchKING - made script compatible with Ravage fireplaces that the player can place on ground v3.0 MuRaZorWitchKING - tweaked distances required to be from fireplaces/buildings for warmth v4.0 MuRaZorWitchKING - added in land vehicles being another form of covering for players to use for warmth so buildings and fires aren't relied upon Readme: In Order to use the script you need to have an init.sqf file that needs this script loaded into it in order for it to be used. In order for the script to work properly you ARE going to need the classnames of the list of clothing you are wanting to use for the player to get cold in. READ THIS: The classnames that you add into the script ARE THE COLD CLOTHING, everything listed will be a cold outfit, everything NOT listed will NOT be a cold outfit. THESE CLASSNAMES NEED TO BE FILLED OUT BY YOU: ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ //Civilian "", //Soldier "", //Guarilla "", ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Once you figure out the classname of the outfit for example "U_C_Journalist" then you will place the name inside the "" and you will separate each item with a comma as seen in the example. If you want a FULL release of the script (filled out with all the classnames) I will be happy to help, this is more of a very simple layout, and should be taken as such, this script is for YOU to customize to your scenario/map wants and needs. ///////VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE READ: Please take note this is NOT my script, this is just someone else's work that I have revamped for a re-release. If the original author of the script no longer wants this up, this post WILL be removed. I hope you all enjoy this, JohnO did an amazing job on the script and is the original Author of it, I just thought it deserved a little more tweaking and a re-release. :) PLEASE REMEMBER TO GIVE CREDITS TO ORIGINAL AUTHOR: JohnO Link to Author's Original release: https://www.exilemod.com/topic/7717-detrimental-weather-effects-script/ ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Update for Frigid water Settings The Script: Simply add this script into your init.sqf in order to use it :) //PLEASE READ: YOU ARE FREE TO EDIT THIS SCRIPT, CHANGE IT WHICH WAY YOU WANT, BUT I WOULD LIKE CREDITS PLEASE. @GEORGE FLOROS GR Also helped me correct my errors after typing this script, couldn't of done it without this guy! ////NOTES: Both of these scripts are compatible with one another and work greatly paired together. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Hypothermia Script / Severe Weather based off of JohnO's weather effects script: Simply put the script in your init.sqf for it to be initialized. Please Read: This script is based off the Detrimental weather effects script by JohnO, so similarities will exist, as I used Detrimental Weather effects as a template for this script. this script uses wetness as a buildable value that can build up to a deadly level and can leave you with Hypothermia... You will need shelter, fire, and of course you will need to stay out of rough weather... This script is only active is severe weather storms, if the weather isn't above a factor of 0.6 then this script will not be called... This script is for a severe weather system only, unless edited. All three scripts seem to work together, I cannot say this is for sure or certain, but in the playtime I have been using them I have seen them work... In order to get all three to work together you must edit out all the "_rainLevel" lines in the weather effects script... So both scripts aren't searching for "rain". ALL FOUR SCRIPTS COMBINED MAKE FOR AN EXTREMELY REACTIVE WORLD THAT IS TOUGH TO SURVIVE IN. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Simple "Cold Altitude" script:

Hi all: Maybe everyone have complained about AI aim is too accurate, but I got a opposite problem. It’s usually happened in my mission,AI has poor aim performance in mid range , like 2 squad shot each other I see them used more than 6 mags then may able to kill one of the enemy.....so I wonder is any scripts able to make it’s must be hit targets during the complex shot time(like among each 10 shots must contain one time shot able to on target) Then still any way able to let AI fire the weapon and also keep moving but not stand or lay down?(like AI move forward and firing in same time) Thanks for help.

As the title says, I'm needing help calling a script once the character touches the surface of water, I have tried calling in the script from a game logic module but when I attempt that on the intro of the mission the script is running and it begins and it bugs out, any help would be greatly appreciated. Not sure if it's as simple as // while {surfaceiswater (getPos Player)} do {execVM "Coldwaters.sqf";// or some type of call like that, but I keep getting errors in my expressions as I don't know the syntax very well, thanks! If it cannot be called by a Gamelogic module then I'll be needing help with inserting the call at the beginning of the script as well. :)
