Hey! I've been trying to make a mission where you do some navy seal shit and surface from the water to take down two guards on a pier. Problem is, the gun won't fire unless you aim almost straight into the air. Does anyone know any way to fix this in the mission file without having to modify the game? The SDAR is an option that I've played around with but I'd prefer an HK.

Hello mates, I hope this is the right place to come to, cause I'm about to get chronical headaches from trying to solve this problem by myself. The last couple of days I'm spending some of my time overhaulin' a version of DUWS (Dynamic Universal War System), and most of the time everything worked like a charm. But right now I'm not able to find a solution for this problem I've ran into. To make my issue more clear, I'd like to be a little bit more specific, so maybe my helping hand is able to fully understand. In DUWS - I guess many of you know this mission - you are able to buy vehicles, units, squads etc. Since I'm reworking some parts of DUWS Unofficial from scratch - esspecially the units, vehicles and squads -, the one who made it in the first place delivered a very nice template for the things I wanted to do. The unofficial version of DUWS has build in mod support, like for RHS Escalation, etc. I have expanded this, by adding in support for some other mods like "Global Mobilization", "BWMod" and "FFAA" . You can play it vanilla, or with those mods. If you have the mods, you can buy the units and vehicles of those factions, if not, a little hint will pop up, telling you that the mod is missing - this is done by checking if the requested unit is available in the first place. Here is a little insight of how it looks for requested foot soldiers: The same goes for vehicles, of course... BUT... here comes my problem: I'm not able to get it to work for requested mod squads - like a fireteam, or a tank platoon. I mean I'm able to get the mod squads working of course, I can buy them and they are fully functional, but I want the game to check if this squad is available in the first place. Otherwise you will pay credits for nothing if the needed mod isn't installed. And since I'm planning to release this version someday, I really want to get this fixed and implemented. And here is a little insight of how it is defined for squads: (Original, only changed the squad and the faction) It's really driving me crazy. I'm no professional programmer, sure, I've learned and catched many things by myself, and I already tried to solve it by myself, but after many failed attempts I can't think of anything else then asking for help, cause I'm running out of ideas. If some mighty coding paladin would be so kind to point me in the right direction, or even take this template above me and make it functioning, I'd really, really appreciate it. I just want it to work like it works for units and vehicles, and I'm sure this is possible. But I can't figure it out. Well, enough said. Have a nice day folks, hope to hear from you! Regards, MajorBlunderbuss.

Hello, I have been directed to the forums here for this type of help. I need the developers to allow me another try on the Dayz free trial since I got it exactly at the time when the Xbox servers were down on the 4th of September, so I never got to try it and now i DON'T know if to get it or not. My gamertag on Xbox is IIIErosionIII, please allow me another free trial, it is not fair that i didn't get to play the game at all. BTW - Xbox directed me here, they could not do anything themselves, so I'm really expecting you to help me on this.

Hey people, I am having some issues with the GUI message function with a script I am making, I have the script below and I was wondering if you can help me correct the issue. It gives me the error "Generic error in expression" params["_target","_question"]; _question = ["You have been offered a job with the EMS Department do you accept?"] spawn BIS_fnc_guiMessage; waitUntil {!isNil "_question"}; if (_question) then { ["Status", "You have accepted the job offer to work at the EMS Department.", "amber"] call APX_fnc_show; ems = true; } else { ["Status", "You declined to work in the EMS Department", "amber"] call APX_fnc_show; ems = false; };

I'm looking for a way to stop a specific vehicle from being able to be blown up. I want the hull and engine to be invincible, so that the vehicle won't explode when hit, but the wheels should still be vulnerable so that it can still be disabled, just not destroyed/blown up. I'm looking for this to be achieved within the vehicles init field, or via an external script. The reason I want this to be possible is because I don't want a simple vehicle respawn in my mission like I have now. I want to punish players for getting a vehicle blown up, making them have to airlift the damaged vehicle back to base where it can be repaired (I don't need help with the airlift or repairs I've got that covered, just need help on making the vehicles hull and engine invulnerable.) Are there any scripts out there which can help me a achieve this? I was looking into the "SetHit" functionality etc but I am a total noob when it comes to scripting. To be completely honest with you I'd love for someone to figure this out for me as I really don't have a lot of time to dedicate to testing and playing about with things myself

I just ordered a PC strictly for arma 3, because i have played arma 2 dry on an old laptop (over a few thousand hours), but it seemed much easier to get dlc on arma 2, just one bundle and i had it all. Im wondering if theres also any kind of bundle like that for arma 3, all available dlc at once, because i cant seem to find anything like that. Anyone can tell me whats the best to buy via steam or any other worthy site? Thanks :)

My computer Freezes or restarts after 1min-1hr of playtime in Arma 3 using no Mods. I play on HostileTakeover.co -King Of The Hill - US #2 - Infantry. I'm not sure if it does it only for this server or not, but I have hosted a server using port forwarding and was able to play for +2hrs without crashing with my friends.

Hey! I've been trying to make a IED script that uses a triggerman instead of the commonly found pressure plate. So far it's early in "development" but eventually I'm aiming for it to become dynamic and able to spawn random death traps all over the chosen map. The problem I've encountered and need help with is that my local variable doesn't work in a trigger. // Pick a spawnpoint _spawnPoint = selectRandom [ "spawn_garage", "spawn_hotel", "spawn_hotel_2", "spawn_shop", "spawn_office", "spawn_binocular", "spawn_suicide", "spawn_minaret", "spawn_wall" ]; // Spawn IED man _bomberGroup = createGroup [East, True]; _bomber = _bomberGroup createUnit ["LOP_AM_OPF_Infantry_Engineer", getMarkerPos _spawnPoint, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"]; _bomberGroup setBehaviour "careless"; //removeAllWeapons _bomber; _bomber setCaptive true; _bomber disableAI "MOVE"; _bomber setUnitPos "UP"; _bomber_weapon = currentWeapon _bomber; // Custom scripts depending on which spawnpoint is chosen switch (_spawnPoint) do { case "spawn_garage": { hint "GARAGE"; _bomber setPos [getPos _bomber select 0, getPos _bomber select 1, 4.040]; }; case "spawn_hotel": { hint "HOTEL"; _bomber setPos [getPos _bomber select 0, getPos _bomber select 1, 3.798]; }; case "spawn_shop": { hint "SHOP"; _bomber setPos [getPos _bomber select 0, getPos _bomber select 1, 4.292]; }; case "spawn_office": { hint "OFFICE"; _bomber setPos [getPos _bomber select 0, getPos _bomber select 1, 5.787]; }; case "spawn_binocular": { hint "BINOCULAR"; _bomber setPos [getPos _bomber select 0, getPos _bomber select 1, 3.403]; }; case "spawn_suicide": { hint "SUICIDE"; }; case "spawn_minaret": { hint "MINARET"; _bomber setPos [getPos _bomber select 0, getPos _bomber select 1, 19.424]; }; case "spawn_hotel_2": { hint "HOTEL_2"; }; case "spawn_wall": { hint "WALL"; }; default { hint "ERROR!

[{ ["_bomber", "3000", "IED_L", "0", "Cellphone"]; true }] call ace_explosives_fnc_addDetonateHandler; */ Basically, if you can understand my mess, I have two issues 1: the "_trgr_bomber_1" doesn't know what "_bomber" is so it can't make him pickup a gun and activate standard AI combat. 2: AI still throw grenades at me like 17th century grenadiers even though they're set to "CARELESS". Any help would be greatly appreciated and I'm pretty sure it's an easy fix for anyone who's actually a coder.

I'm creating a script that makes the door of the vehicle open when someone tries to get in. inGameUISetEventHandler [ "Action", " if ((_this select 3) == 'GetOut') then { [] spawn { _player = player; _target = (vehicle player); _target animate ['Door_1_1', 1]; uiSleep 1; _player action ['GetOut', _target]; uiSleep 1; _target animate ['Door_1_1', 0]; }; true; }; if ((_this select 3) == 'GetInDriver') then { [] spawn { _player = player; _target = cursorObject; _target animate ['Door_1_1', 1]; uiSleep 1; _player action ['GetInDriver', _target]; uiSleep 1; (vehicle player) animate ['Door_1_1', 0]; }; true; }; " ]; While GetInDriver action is working as intended (the door opens, player gets in, the door closes), GetOut action, more specifically: _player action ['GetOut', _target]; Ignores uiSleep and plays just as the action is pressed. I'm struggling to understand why this is happening. I'd be glad if someone helped me out. Thanks.

Before i start explaining my issue, I DO HAVE MODS INSTALLED. Modlist will be attached to the post. So on to my issue, when i try to host a server with my milsim unit, everyone can connect and pick their roles and begin loading in. Right after they get to about 80% done with the loading they start to hear game sounds, and they can even walk around while the loading screen is stuck on their monitor. Does anyone know why this is, or if any mods are incompatible in some way? Thanks in advance.

Hello Arma 3 community, ive been back to arma 3 lately since its fun when its heavily modified. so from reading and watching stuff on how to get better performance for arma 3, ive managed to get my game running smooth and looking good. there´s only one problem left, and that is bullets! to be more precise i can barely see bullets landing/hitting something and even with tracers i cant really see bullets flying. im wondering if there´s any fixes in settings or maybe over mods for this problems. also, whats your experience with bullets? greetz weedo

Hi, I am writing this topic to find some help about a Strange problem that I have since approximately 5 months I used to run a private server between me and my friends to have fun but now I can't … I run the server like Always but none of my friends can see my server… So I am searching why I can't make a server anymore like before. I let you some screens to show you how I was Always hosting my server. Thanks for your help, Dr.Jeff.

Hello, i am looking for how i can make an item full healer a player by interacting with it, ie: when our team members get med evac'd they can go to a tent, with a defibrillator, scroll and get the option to fully heal, allowing them to be ready for combat again.

Alright, so here's my issue. Im using Eden Editor to try and make a Player controlled, zeus based mission. 1st portion of my time was spent making the Home Base that I will run my ops out of. Got everything set up for the most part and then tried to do a multiplayer play test Everything worked great for the most part, respawning was fine etc But then we tried to get into a vehicle together to leave the home base, for some reason We can't get into the vehicle at the same time It was an empty vehicle and we were on the same team. I googled this issue and didn't find much of substance till I came across about Player Ratings It stated that If a user team kills, or kills civilians that they wont be counted as being in the "Same team" anymore. Thus not letting them get into vehicles with their other BLUFOR members It makes sense, But is there anyway to bypass this or get rid of player rating entirely I dont want to have missions that are unable to be completed because of "Accidental" team killing Thank you for your time!

Hello, I've looked through all the topics in the forum and I haven't founded what I wanted. I'm trying to make a Vest and Helmet mod basically for a unit I'm in. I retextured some of VSM Vests and Helmets, Military Gear Pack vests and 75th Rangers Helmets. I'm just trying to get a Idea on what I need to do to make them a separate standalone mod. and have them in-game as there own class/mod I tried making a config, but it always didn't work. So if someone could help me get started with this that would be great. I'm stumped The configs I tried were all out of date too so there were a shit load of errors. Couldn't find a up-to-date one

Hi there. So, i'm trying to create a loop for a .ogv that would just play non-stop. I can manage to create the loop for the script to run when the video ends playing, but the problem is that the BIS_fnc_playVideo will actually make the "texture" go black for a few ms before it starts playing again (i guess it reloads the "texture"). I wanna know if there's a way to just reset it to the first frame or something like that so the "black texture" would not appear. And yes i can just create a fade effect in the start and in the end of the video but that would limit what i can do.

As title states, however, it's for a friend. I'm trying to help a friend join a dedicated server on which I'm playing. (Not my server however, myself and two others can join this server for reference) I'm wondering what are the best steps to take to troubleshoot this issue? He attempts to join game directly through Steam, and gets server not responding. I gave him the server IP address to connect directly, and it does nothing. The server doesn't appear in the list when any of us are on. Hopefully somebody has been through this exact situation that can help but any answer may be useful! Thank you in advance.

Yes one problem solved and now on to another... Go to host a multiplayer game, change it from LAN to Internet, put my password in, change to 4 players, and check UnPn (or whatever it is) and then click "Host server" ... Nothing.. Game freezes to where you have to Clt Alt Del out of the game. There is not issue with a LAN game, but really want the Internet to work. I do not have port fowarding setup as never needed it before. Haven't been able to play an Internet MP game since.. yep, the 64bit update (same as other post).... I marked all Arma 3 files Allow on the firewall... Do I really need to setup up port fowarding for Arma and Steam?? Thank you !!!!

Hey guys, I have a question... I was experimenting with fighter jets (Black Wasp, Shirka, etc.) playing the different available scenarios, mods, and some editor experimentation. In videos I've seen it was mentioned that upon locking onto a moving target (with the radar turned on) a Target Lead Indicator should appear to show where the pilot needs to aim to hit the target. But every time I tried doing so I can't seem to see the TLI. I've tried approaching at different angles and speeds, tried different planes, but so far I've yet to understand how it is supposed to work. I do see the large circle with the dot in its center, and I thought that was supposed to lead the target, but when whenever I see it, it always seems to be trailing slightly behind the target... Any tips, ideas, or even a link to a more comprehensive guide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

So im just trying to create a menu that uses a combo-list to pick and spawn vehicles, At the moment i use an addaction to open the menu but when i do i only see the RscListbox and the RscPicture, but it doesn't not show me my buttons or the frame. So my question is what have i done wrong in the code to stop the buttons from showing but other things show.? Dialog.hpp class Train_Menu_Dialog { idd = 9999; movingEnabled = false; class controls { //////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // GUI EDITOR OUTPUT START (by Luke, v1.063, #Hefeja) //////////////////////////////////////////////////////// class RscFrame_1800: RscFrame { idc = 1800; x = 12 * GUI_GRID_W + GUI_GRID_X; y = 3 * GUI_GRID_H + GUI_GRID_Y; w = 16 * GUI_GRID_W; h = 16 * GUI_GRID_H; }; class textbox: RscText { idc = 1000; text = "Pick Your Train"; //--- ToDo: Localize; x = 17 * GUI_GRID_W + GUI_GRID_X; y = 3 * GUI_GRID_H + GUI_GRID_Y; w = 6.5 * GUI_GRID_W; h = 1.5 * GUI_GRID_H; }; class spawnbut: RscButton { idc = 1600; text = "Spawn"; //--- ToDo: Localize; x = 24 * GUI_GRID_W + GUI_GRID_X; y = 16.5 * GUI_GRID_H + GUI_GRID_Y; w = 4 * GUI_GRID_W; h = 2.5 * GUI_GRID_H; }; class Exit: RscButton { idc = 1601; text = "Exit"; //--- ToDo: Localize; colorText[] = {0,0,0,0}; sizeEx = 0.02; style = 2; x = 12 * GUI_GRID_W + GUI_GRID_X; y = 16.5 * GUI_GRID_H + GUI_GRID_Y; w = 4 * GUI_GRID_W; h = 2.5 * GUI_GRID_H; action = "closeDialog 0"; }; class list: RscListbox { idc = 1500; text = "Pick Train"; //--- ToDo: Localize; x = 0.375; y = 0.18; w = 0.25; h = 0.22; }; class RscPicture_1200: RscPicture { idc = 1200; text = "#(argb,8,8,3)color(0,1,1,1)"; x = 0.375; y = 0.44; w = 0.25; h = 0.2; }; //////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // GUI EDITOR OUTPUT END //////////////////////////////////////////////////////// }; }; Addaction to create dialog with stuff in the list disableSerialization; _shopItems = ["Test","TEST1"]; createDialog "Train_Menu_Dialog"; waitUntil {!isNull(findDisplay 9999);}; _ctrl = (findDisplay 9999) displayCtrl 1500; { _ctrl lbAdd _x; } forEach _shopItems; Defines.hpp

So I got a problem with my server. I'm renting through Host Havoc and we are trying to set up an Antistasi server. When I put the Antistasi pbo file into the mpmissions and type in that I want to run it, it doesnt work. So we tryed something else and went to the Antistasi server and tryed doing some copy and paste fun...... Well we got the game to run the base Antistasi but vehicles don't spawn now and when you go to buy vehicles it doesn't work? With that being said we haven't added the RHS mods yet not sure if Antistasi needs it or not? Lastly does anyone know a better server renting site that is easier to use than host havoc? Thanks all who respond

I need help with a few basic things. First, I have a set of 6 AI marksmen set to spawn in a Pawnee helicopter that is controlled by me. I want them to get out of the helicopter one by one at certain zones. For example: AI#1 would get dropped off on top of a hill, AI#2 would get dropped off at the bottom of a crane, etc. I also want to be able to pick up different AI at a few of those drop off locations. This missions purpose is to help with landing and taking off at different locations with a live crew. Next, I need to put writing on a few signs as distance markers. I also have a couple rules, tips and challenges I want written out on a blackboard or sign as well. I looked at a few forums but they were pretty outdated and I was hoping to find the answer here. Almost done, I was playing a scenario that had a laptop at the spawn area that allowed the player to reset the dead AI and markings on the targets. I'd appreciate it if someone could point in the right direction with how to get that done. And lastly, I downloaded another scenario that tracks a bullets path and where it hits a target and I was wondering if that were possible to do somewhat simply. If not I am willing to learn it from a video or whoever can help me. If you'd be willing to get into closer contact so we can speed up the process I'd really appreciate it. I've been working on a few projects and these are the things I've been putting off the most so I hope someone can help me. :) Thanks for the read and have a great day!

My buddy recently got arma 3, and started playing the exile mode with me. The first day he got it, it was working fine. The following days to come he is only able to play for 5-10 minutes before being kicked. No error messages come up, only thing that shows up while ingame is "Exile Dixie Normous has been kicked" And it does this for every server he joins Things tried: Reinstalling arma 3 Reinstaling a3 launcher Reinstalling Exile Reinstalling Hvp Reinstalling battleeye Making a new profile Verifying integrity Reinstalling several mods Please help. Also, i had him pull his RTP knowing some people want that to look at http://pasted.co/617872f2
