I spent the last two weeks making a Mission, ive probably spent well over a hundred Hours making it. Today i was about 99% done. When i wanted to test my recent changes (I Built a Trench and wanted to see if the player can go through it without issues) i pressed "Play in Multiplayer" like you would normally, however instead of the over 100 playable Units that i placed down, only the one that i specifically placed down to test showed up in the Role assignment. I went back into the editor and discovered that Literally EVERYTHING except that last playable Unit that i placed down was gone. If you press "Play" the Mission will autosave and therfore overwrite itself. Is there a way to recover the older Version of the "mission.sqm" ? Im willing to try just about anything at this point as recreating a mission with over 100 Playable Units that all have indevidual Loadouts, all the custom Vehicles and especially all the scripted Triggers will be a Pain to recreate and honestly my motivation to do so is also gone after this ordeal. (sorry for any spelling mistakes, english is not my native languidge.) Please Help 😕

Mission fail when everyone is dead + respawn tickets?
4K.Scar posted a topic in ARMA 3 - QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
I made a mission, it has those 2 options enabled. But mission ends when respawn tickets reach 0, even though players are still alive. How do I make it so it only ends after tickets reach 0 AND everyone is dead? Edit: I realize this is the wrong place to ask this so I'll make another thread -

Editor help: Anyway to have a squadleader place an outpost like HLL for a coop mission?
PapaStalin1 posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Making a mission for a few of the lads. Anyone have a script or a way to have a squadleader place an outpost for other players to spawn at like in Hell Let Loose or Squad? currently we are using triggers with setMarkerPos, but we'd love to use an actual point that can be added and removed. Hope this isn't too complex, cheers in advance -
[fixed] Mission working on my system but not on the dedicated server

basically I get kicked back into the default Zeus mission after its done "receiving mission files". I don't notice any errors when I open the mission in the editor or on the local host.

when load and resume game objectives stops working.
J.Larsson posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
so I have followed these tutorials and it worked very good. https://youtu.be/lnRs_MEqwSs however…. When I save the game, and leave and re join, chose “Resume” to start were I left. All objectives stops working, me or AI can no longer capture objectives. Any one has a clue what is going on? technically the game is capture points style of game, and there is a lot of areas to capture. (the whole map has objectives) Note I am awful with scripts so I try to avoid it as much I can. and I am still very new to Editor in arma. -
Hello, I'm working on a few spin off mission from the East Wind Campaign and in order to recreate the first mission I created a similar ORBAT view. My only problem is that I cannot load the TF Aegis Helmet into the ORBAT Viewer. The file I am using is the original .paa file extracted from the img folder of the main campaign, and in the Text2View Editor it can be viewed properly. In the following Code example you can see that under "texture" i've added the .paa file which is in the same folder as the mission.sqm file. Furthermore the insignia "Aegis_background.paa" works perfectly fine ... class CfgOrbat { class TFAegis { id = 1; idType = 0; side = "West"; size = "Size1"; type = "HQ"; insignia = "Aegis_background.paa"; colorInsignia[] = {0,0,1,1}; commander = "MacKinnon"; commanderRank = "Colonel"; text = "Task Force Aegis"; textShort = "TF Aegis"; texture = "Aegis_icon.paa"; color[] = {0,1,1,1}; description = "A US-led joint NATO-AAF peacekeeping force stationed on Stratis, with a strictly limited mandate and combat capacity."; }; };

BUG: Trigger owner for grouped unit in missions outside the editor
domcho posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Triggers that have a trigger owner with activation "Whole Group"/"Group Leader"/"Any Group Member" don't work properly outside the editor. Try this: Place a group consisting of 3 or more units. Set the 2nd highest ranking unit to be the player (you'll have to kill the squad leader and take command). Create 3 triggers and set the group leader to be the trigger owner. First trigger: Trigger name: Trig1 Activation: Whole Group, Present On activation: player sideChat "Trig1 - Whole Group"; Second trigger: Trigger name: Trig2 Activation: Group Leader, Present On activation: player sideChat "Trig2 - Group Leader"; Third trigger: Trigger name: Trig3 Activation Any Group Member, Present On Activation: player sideChat "Trig3 - Any Group Member"; Start the mission, kill the group leader, when you take command move into the trigger zones. The triggers will work properly even though the trigger owner is dead. Trigger ownership transferred from dead unit to another squad member properly. Now go back in the editor, export the mission to Singleplayer, open it from there and try the same thing again - the triggers will not fire. Trigger ownership did not transfer at all. You can further test this using the triggerAttachedVehicle command. Give the group leader a variable name. For example "a1". Place 4 triggers. You can make them repeatable if you want. First trigger: Trigger text: trig1 owner Activation: Radio Alpha On activation: hint (str (triggerAttachedVehicle trig1)); Second trigger: Trigger text: trig2 owner Activation: Radio Bravo On activation: hint (str (triggerAttachedVehicle trig2)); Third trigger: Trigger text: trig3 owner Activation: Radio Charlie On activation: hint (str (triggerAttachedVehicle trig3)); Fourth trigger: Trigger text: trig4 owner Activation: Radio Delta On activation: hint (str (triggerAttachedVehicle trig4)); Also create another trigger, name it trig4, set the trigger owner to the group leader and set activation to "Owner Only". When you test this in the editor, only trig4 should show you the name of the unit - a1. The other 3 triggers should display <NULL-object>. Export the mission to Singleplayer (restart ArmA 3 before doing that if the mission is loaded into memory or it will not be overwritten properly, i.e. the .pbo file won't be deleted / overwritten). Now when you (re)start the mission in singleplayer, run the radio triggers - all of them will show a1 as the owner of the triggers. Even if the unit is dead it will still show a1 and the triggers won't work. This is also the case for multiplayer exported missions. -
FIXED: First I stripped back a few larger & unnecessary mods & verified the game files through Steam. With Game Logic in mind, I investigated the timings of the errors to what I was doing and deduced: Turns out I had 4 certain persistent scripts running using Game Logic Modules when they didn't need to be. I also had scripts running which made map markers of 'locations' appear and disappear on arrival & when the location is cleared (ect ect) on a Repeatable basis, meaning the engine was attempting to create the already deleted & already created map markers over and over again when leaving and re-entering the vicinity. I've migrated the functions described above to pre-existing triggers (which now delete themselves after use) & almost instantly the issue is gone, no error in RPT logs anymore. I assume it was the map markers causing the issue predominantly and the scenario has gone from gradual degradation right back to 40-60fps with everything still present and working as it should. I also added a task cleanup system where when all of a 'locations' tasks have been finished, the Create Task Modules are deleted upon the final trigger, along with the trigger itself constantly freeing memory. Still a long way to go correcting all mission triggers & Task Modules with this technique but immediately the difference is day & night with only a fraction done so... result. Thanks for the assistance with this all. Also, if you'd like to test the next available version early September, message me over on Reddit ( proj_drk ) where I'll be sharing any news about this scenario. - I am almost finished creating a single player open world operation & in the last few sessions I have been getting the error... 'Tried to create group when group limit reached side Game Logic' The error doesn't specify the script(s) which are causing it. It will trigger after around 25 minutes of gameplay & will continue to do so a dozen times within a second every 45-70 seconds, each time dropping FPS more & more until it becomes unplayable. I am aware that it is perhaps tied to a certain script repeatedly trying to spawn a group. Anyone else had to deal with this / find a fix? I am willing and able to dig deep into the scripts to find & fix or even fully remove the error but right now, I'm not too sure where to start apart from group spawns. I am also open to the idea a script which will perhaps 'kill' this looping error when it first starts if at all possible? -
keyframe Keyframe Animation on Dedicated
SirBassi posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hi together, Last weeks I learned a lot about localisations, using them etc. with the help of the Forum here. And 90% percent of my planned Mission is tested and works but on one finally point I get absolute in struggle. I wanna use at the very end of the mission following part: - cinemaborder fade in - keyframe animation makes a cameraride around the players - cinemborder fade out - mission endscreen But the Keyframe animation seems to be my personal "endboss" in this way. First of All: On SP and MP it works but all tries to execute on Dedicated was totally failures. And I think it is a Localisation Problem again. I am not sure because of missing Infos in BI Wiki if this Module is Local Arg and Local Exc but I expect. I tried to remoteexecute the BI Fnc direct, I tried to remoteexecute execVM the BI fnc in a separate Script, I tried to to start the BI fnc with a trigger and executed the Trigger by Script (Trigger were mostly used in Tutorials I watched), I tried different settings inside Timeline Modul to play with and without loop and also start paused and not paused, I tried to execute before the BI init fnc. And now I am just clueless. This is such a very cute Feature of Animation and I hope some of you have a idea for me. BI Wiki: Keyframe Animation: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Key_Frame_Animation BI Wiki: BIS_fnc_timeline_play: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_timeline_play BI Wiki: BIS_fnc_timeline_init: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_timeline_init Code Outro (last Testbuild, changed very often: Code Timeline (not needed to outsource in annother Script I think): Thanks for your support. -
mission Struggle with Land_Billboard_F and BIS_fnc_playVideo
SirBassi posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hi Community, I plan to play a small highlight video for our Battlegroup at the end of an ingame campaign. This also works wonderfully on the Dedicated. As a screen, I chose the Land_Billboard_F, which works so far and is perfect for about 15 people viewing at the same time. But every time the video starts, the standard Texture with path "a3\structures_f\civ\infoboards\data\billboard_metal_co.paa" is loaded with a metal and cracked effect, which makes the quality of the display very poor. I have now tried to set a white .paa in the texture field of the object editor, but this is also replaced when the video is starting. And the setting of foreground and background colors in white or black by BIS_fnc_playVideo does not come into play either. How do I get rid of the switch to the standard .paa when starting the video? Do I have to set or change configs there? I haven't gotten into that part yet. I am very grateful for every tip and help. Part of the belonging Script: -

Custom Faction not appearing in Zeus (Appears in Editor) Alive ORBAT
steam-76561198021708946 posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hello, As the title implies, I've made my first custom faction using Alive ORBAT and everything seemed fine, worked, and appeared in Editor and when I zeused it locally on my PC for trying. But when I uploaded it on the server it didn't appear when I wanted to use it in Zeus (Yes I installed the mod correctly on the server) The GameMaster Module also has enabled all the Unofficial addons. I used this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vC9eLS7fCWQ&t=1660s&ab_channel=WarIsHell Can somebody please help explain why? Thank you 😞 -
So i am really missing an ingame mission editor, like eden was. The workbench, by all means, is way too complex just for mission creating. "Game Master" would be a start, but it's not possible to have multiple save games. If it WOULD have multiple save games, you could at least use it like a sort of editor, which would be a start or a quick fix. Without a mission editor, it's not arma for me and probably for a lot of other people. this was the pinnacle of sandbox and the reason why i spent so much hours in arma 1, arma 2 and arma 3. Please bohemia, add a a mission editor or make it at least possible to have multiple saves in the "Game Master" mode.

eventhandler Trying to make enemies play sound when they die
civiciam posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
I get it to work when I change "_killed say3D [_sound,10000,1];" to _killer instead. Then my player says those reactions when the enemy dies. But I want it to be coming from "_killed". I get no errors when doing so but there is NO SOUND at all. This is the code I'm running in my death_sounds.sqf. I would be so happy to get this working! { if (side _x == east) then { _x addEventHandler ["Killed", { _killer = _this select 1; _killed = _this select 0; if ( _killer in (units (group player)) ) then { _sounds = ["death1","death2","death3","death4"]; _sound = _sounds select (floor(random(count _sounds))); _killed say3D [_sound,10000,1]; }; } ]; }; } foreach allUnits; EDIT: I tried stripping the code trying to make it work but no success. No errors but also no sound: { if (side _x == east) then { _x addEventHandler ["Killed", { _downed = _this select 0; _sounds = ["death1","death2","death3","death4"]; _sound = _sounds select (floor(random(count _sounds))); _downed say3D [_sound,10000,1]; } ]; }; } foreach allUnits; -
G'day, I made a mission, it required a large mod that my friend didn't have (Project OPFOR, "po_factions_me"), in my confident ignorance I went and deleted all entries of said mod in the missions.sqm without debinarizing it, after doing so, I now get the error "line 0: '.raP:' ' encountered instead of' =" when trying to open the mission in the editor. I downloaded DeRap due to a suggestion, when I used the tool on the mission.sqm, it said something along the lines of: "deRap: unknown entry:" (I can check again if the exact wording of the error is actually important) Anyone have any ideas? it's a beloved mission me and my friend play very, very often. Here is the mission.sqm: https://pastebin.com/70ECMNgy Thank you so much. -
How to get BIS_fnc_ambientAnim to work in multiplayer?
Mxela posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hello, i am struggling with animations in multiplayer, I am aware of methods using switchMove alternatively but as far as I know they do not have the animations i want. I am trying to make a unit sit in a chair, the issue i have is in SP everything works, in MP everything works but when I play MP with another person connected to the server the unit will spawn in the ground, or spawn in a completely different location, I tried to delay the animation, making it so the animation is called in the init.sqf at a later point, which worked initially but after testing again today was no longer working, and the units were back in the ground. I tried many different methods of calling the animation such as: if (isServer) then { [[UNIT_NAME, "SIT1", "ASIS"], BIS_fnc_ambientAnim] remoteExec ["call"]; }; if (local this) then {[UNIT_NAME, "SIT1", "ASIS"] call BIS_fnc_ambientAnim}; [UNIT_NAME,"SIT2"] call BIS_fnc_ambientAnim; The most annoying thing is debugging, it's super inconsistent, sometimes it just magically works sometimes it doesn't, and i can't test unless i have another person join the server, as it all works normally if i play the mission in MP alone. I would really appreciate any help, I'm quite lost and don't know what to try, I just want a consistent way to get animations to work, not change the units position and preferably keeping it vanilla not using any mods. -

Getting variable from Eden editor for script use
Dnote Gaming posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
So I’m new to coding in general and thought I’d try out scripting in arma 3, I have written code but it does not do as intended. And I don’t even know if I’m using the right commands, I’m done trying to rack my brain scouring BI script command list and random YouTube videos if anyone know how to achieve this please post it here or reference me to where I can get help. so here’s what I want to do: 1. Give variable name in Eden editor. 2. Get variable name given in Eden editor for reference in script as a “class”. 3. Use variable name “class” to run a specific script. plot example: Object (unit) variable name given in editor = Assault //in script code to get the variable name of “This” unit. code to check if the variable name is equal to a specific class name. code that executes another code if the check returns true. if you have any insight on how to achieve this or even close to it please reply -
zeus/3den How to use Zeus exclusive features in 3Den Editor?
MikeScaletta posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hello, I hope this isn't too much of a stretch to ask but there's one thing bugging me. I have the Zeus Enhanced mod and I was wondering if there's any way to use systems made available by it in 3D Editor. What I mean by that is for example - I wanted to use the suppressing fire module provided by the Zeus Enhanced mod, connect it to a trigger and have units appear and fire as the module allows. Also some tools like "Tracers" are way way simpler to use as Zeus, with graphical interface instead of inputting certain weapon names and such. Has anyone encountered an issue like this? Is this mod conflict or a base game limitation? Is there a way or a workaround I could implement? I would be extremely grateful if anyone could be so kind to help me. -

Werthles' Headless Module (now v2.0!)

Edit your mission, adding a WH Setup Module, found under "Headless Modules". Configure the parameters as appropriate for your mission. Add an "Ignore" module if required. Add playable, uniquely named, headless clients. Save your mission as a multiplayer mission. Set up your server and headless clients Play your mission! Players, HCs and the server need to run the WHM mod in order to play. Part 3 of this guide is how I set up dedicated servers and headless clients: Werthles Headless Kit Guide http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=459917508 Setup Module Parameters: Headless clients to be used Repeating checks for spawned AI Time to wait between repeats 3D debug mode for all or just admins Balance the number of AI units on each HC, and rebalance when uneven Delay between module activation and HC setup starting Time between each HC transfer, to aid stability Initial setup report Phrases the module should ignore when checking AI for the HC (can be whole/part unit names/group names/unit type/synced module name) If certain units need to remain controlled by (local to) the server, simply sync these units to an ignore module. Compatibility When combining with mods that require setup time, try increasing the WHM startup delay or activate the module on a trigger, so WHM setup starts afterwards. ALiVE Compatibility ALiVE Profiles: Attach "WH Setup Module" to a radio trigger (or similar solution), then activate once in game (else profiles do not load or save correctly). ALiVE Support Modules: Give the group a distinct callsign, then add this to the list of units to ignore within the "WH Setup Module".Please let me know if you find an issue with this and any mods. I will list any issues found here. I would like to make this compatible with as many mods as possible! Headless Client Tips: Headless Clients must be set as playable and have a unique name. HCs cannot connect to client internet multiplayer servers, only local servers or dedicated servers. This is because IPs cannot be whitelisted with these servers. HCs can only connect to servers which are passworded. WHM will change the locality of the AI being transferred to HCs. This can interfere with some scripts. If it does, you can use the "Ignore" module to stop WHM from giving the HC control of individual groups. See: http://killzonekid.com/arma-scripting-tutorials-locality/ Links For Scripted Version: WHK Setup Guide (For scripted version) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15VK_kNOu6o Werthles Headless Kit http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=459317544 Werthles Headless Kit Guide http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=459917508 WHK Armaholic Download http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=28917 Please let me know if there are any problems/things that could be improved, and I'll get to work on it!

Very new to scripting and I'm figuring out how to count the amount of AI that has died at the end of a mission. If you have any answers or help it would be appreciated.
