I cannot get dynamic simulation to work at all, even in a basic test scenario. In this scenario, I have: ensured dynamic sim is turned on at a scenario level set all unit category types to the minimum of 50m activation created an enemy squad about 1km from the player unit turned dynamic sim on for this squad at a squad level checked that it has been activated on the squad by using dynamicSimulationEnabled But I can till see the enemy squad on the horizon. Surely this shouldn't happen? I am not sure if I have missed something obvious or if it is broken. Anyone any ideas? The only thing that seems odd to me is that dynamicSimulationEnabled returns true for the enemy squad itself but false for individual units. I understand that dynamic sim works at a squad level but surely it should also return true for individual units within that squad?

I need expert help from the Arma dev experts here to understand a fundamental behavior difference between hosted/editor and dedi-MP. * Nutshell: ObjectX (not a vehicle, has no brain) was placed in the editor at Position 1. The sole player in the mission starts near Position 1 but is teleported *very far* away (>10km) to Position 999. The player takes action that tells the server to perform a REMOTEEXEC target=0 SETPOSASL command on ObjectX to move it 100m to Position 2. * Expectation: ObjectX should be at Position 2 on both the server and the client. * Actuality: In hosted/editor runs ObjectX is at Position 2 on both the server and the client even when the player is at Position 999, but on dedi-MP ObjectX is at Position 2 only on the server but remains at Position 1 on the client, regardless of what the mission scripting does with information age commands ON THE CLIENT (setTargetAge, Reveal, disabling dynamicsimulation). I've confirmed in dedi-MP that ObjectX on the server has moved to Position 2 by executing a 'localize' command to dump a getpos ObjectX to the server .rpt file. I've confirmed using Debug Console on the client that ObjectX on the client remains at Position 1. * Confusion: Even with the dynamic simulation system disabled entirely this still happens. Since the player is at Position 999 very far away, information age issues are expected, but they should be controlled by setTargetAge and Reveal commands. * My guess: Maybe dedicated servers are by default configured to override a mission's control over information age? I don't see a setting in dedi server .cfg that could change that. What the frakkin frak is going on??? <<edited 5/31: ObjectX has dynamic simulation DISabled, by the way. But I suspect the game is applying dynamic simulation anyway at long distances>> <<edited 5/31, pt2: To be clear, when the player is near ObjectX, sending the command to the server to have the server move ObjectX via that remoteexec call works just fine. But when the player is very far from ObjectX that's when that same process simply does not move ObjectX on the client. (even with dynamic simulation disabled for that object and disabled via enableDynamicSimulationSystem false, even after setting "prop" setDynamicSimulationDistance 60000;. (Also, as an aside, the reason this is an issue is because I'm trying to attach a camera object to ObjectX to use from afar, sort of like a UAV but not a UAV.)>> <<edited 6/2, pt3: Is it possible that static objects are *always* treated on dedicated server similarly to dynamically simulated objects, but separately from the dynamicSimulation system? (I could see it being like that, since normally static objects are always just that, static.) If that's true, it could explain everything I'm seeing. If so, any idea if there's a workaround aside from making a descendant class as a mod and altering whatever property(ies) cause this? <<edited 6/2, pt 4: I'm going to have to conclude that on dedicated server, dynamic simulation is always enabled beyond a certain distance, regardless of mission settings. Dealing with that will require some radical re-thinking of my approach, but I do have some ideas. Admins, you can retire/delete this post if you like.>>

Hello there to Everyone , i'm trying to create a dynamic Simulation scrpt , but to be honest , i don't know really if the current is working or not ! I 'm not also sure about dynamicSimulationSystem generally , because i haven't seen this working on another script either ! My try below for everyone : - deleted any help will be much appreciated ! Thank you very much !!! _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ the solution :

As from topic, I was thinking that they are almost the same but, after a little bit of testing, it seems they work in pretty different ways: - Dynamic simulation stops the simulation of units at a given distance from the player without despawning them, leaving them "freezed" until the distance with the player doesn't fall under the give threshold; - The Simulation management module doesn't only stops simulation, but it seems to despawn units until the player reduces the distance to the given threshold; when this happens units respawn exactly where they was, in the same position, and the simulation restarts normally. I'm not sure but it seems that, to enable this behaviour, you don't need to flag the same voice in the unit attributes that enables the dynamic simulation. Am I correct? I've also noticed peculiar interaction between those two features: if Dynamic simulation threshold is smaller than the Simulation manager module, it seems that - since units should spawn when simulation is stopped, they cannot spawn anymore; in the opposite situation, simulation starts even if they are not spawned and, when this happens, they have already moved (similarly to ALive VI system) but (although I'm not sure) without interacting with other units, spawned or not. Any suggestions or corrections? Thanks!

Is some ways ,better then checking all objects with loop, to execute somethng when dynamic simulation waking up unit ?

Hi! I tried using Dynamic Simulation to increase framerate in my mission, but surprisingly it doesn't work. The units which have DS enabled don't "wake up" at all. The simulation does not start, therefore I have quite a big problem. If I disable DS for a unit, the simulation goes normally, same for global disabling of DS - all units behave as they should. I'm using 3den Enhanced, but don't think that's what's causing this situation, since I've read that it works normally with 3E. Any ideas where the issue lies?
