Hello, I am fairly new to the arma 3 editing world and was wondering how to change your squad or group mid-game. Such as moving from group Alpha squad to bravo squad mid-game. Now, when I hit U, it will bring up the Ai management page and allow me to take over another AI. But I wish to move my current character to another squad, not take over an AI unit. I wish to add this feature so that when I play with friends, they can leave their squad/unit and join mine. Instead of me restarting the scenario. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Hi, Yesterday I tried to publish my mission to workshop but I couldn't do that because my space "bar" was red. It says that I need more space, but even if I delete 10 old missions and gain more MB free, space requirement gets higher so bar is still red.. I'm playing arma for a while now (1500 hours +) and I never saw anything like that anywhere.. if you know solution, please help me

nodebb NodeBB Mission/Event Attendance & Slotting Plugins
nomisum posted a topic in ARMA 3 - COMMUNITY MADE UTILITIES
Hi Guys, Just want to quickly highlight two interconnected plugins we are developing for nodeBB. Both plugins are meant to feel native in nodeBB style. Disclaimer Although work is still in progress we already put them into daily use. We cant offer descriptions how to install nodeBB or the plugins themselves though. If you want to use this software, keep in mind we are still actively developing and some functions are customized for our own needs. If you happen to be a dev this wont be a big problem for you. Feel free to join our discord if you are stuck (best ask for Fusselwurm) : https://discord.gg/ZDqp45q Plugin Attendance Allows users to self manage their attendance and displays overall attendance and own attendance in event list as well as in particular event. Plugin Slotting Allows users to self manage slotting for a mission in a beautiful ORBAT like structure. Creation in backend is managed via XML input. Features scales well across devices (responsive) nodeBB group restrictions possible for single slots/sections nodeBB Notifications if someone slots/attends in a followed topic kick from slot for admins drag & drop users from/into slots for admins display all NATO symbols available in ARMA3 display fireteam, squad, platoon and company hierarchy easy implementation of custom callsigns, slotnames and shortcodes Screens http://imgur.com/a/2aRoX How to create a slotting list (german only so far) https://wiki.gruppe-adler.de/index.php?title=Slotting-Plugin Source Code https://github.com/gruppe-adler/nodebb-plugin-attendance https://github.com/gruppe-adler/nodebb-plugin-arma3-slotting/ (Yes, we dont mind if you want to to fix our bugs or want to contribute in any way) -
[Tool] SQUAD CONTROL - Manage multiple squads at once
kenoxite posted a topic in OFP : MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
SQUAD CONTROL (SQCTL) The goal of this tool is to provide mission makers an easy to use, easy to implement, way to control more than one squad or group at once. While this tool allows you to control an unlimited amount of squads (up to the hardcoded max of 63 groups per side) it’s mainly focused on scales from fireteam to platoon size. Anything beyond that can easily become a management nightmare, even with all the tools provided. I wouldn’t suggest going beyond company level, but it’s obviously up to you. Features Manage several groups at once, from fireteam level to company and above Keep track of the health status, current orders and position of all the squads under your control Issue orders to individual squads or to the groups they belong to Transfer units between any of the squads under your control Create new groups and assign squads to existing ones Rename your groups or squads to be easily identifiable The location of enemy squads will be broadcasted among each side Squads will move and follow the player in formation DOWNLOAD v1.0: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?lu7473dgt6ddc97 Includes the template, a demo mission where you control a platoon and another one where you control several fireteams in a USMC squad (this one requires WW4). Requires USMC Symbols v1.2: - ftp://ftp.ofpr.info/ofpd/unofaddons2/USMCsymbols12.zip - http://www.ofpec.com/addons_depot/index.php?action=details&id=69 Installation Merge the template mission into yours Copy all the files and folders in the template mission (except mission.sqm) to your mission’s directory Edit the SQCTL_settings.sqf file you copied, if appropriate. Advanced: Instructions To put a squad under the player's control you'll have to add it first, using something like this: [<this group>,<nameOfTheSquad>,[<groupItBelongsTo>,<nameOfTheGroup>]] exec "SQCTL\addSq.sqs" So, if you want to add a squad to group number one you'd do something like this: [group this,"",[1]] exec "SQCTL\addSq.sqs" To add a squad to group number two you'd write: [group this,"",[2]] exec "SQCTL\addSq.sqs" etc If you'd like to name the squad you'd do something like this: [group this,"1st SQUAD",[1]] exec "SQCTL\addSq.sqs" And if you'd like to also name the first group you'd do: [group this,"1st SQUAD",[1,"1st PLATOON"]] exec "SQCTL\addSq.sqs" If you don't provide a name the squads and groups will be named automatically ("SQUAD <x>" and "GROUP<x>" respectively). To name groups you only have to provide the name in one of the squads. It doesn't matter if it's the first or the last. To issue an order to a squad or group: Click on the “ORDER†button to issue orders to the selected squad or group Select the order you want to issue from the combo box. Using the arrow buttons move the map where you want the squad or group to execute the order Click the “ISSUE†button Expanded instructions: Known Issues Sometimes an error will occur when issuing a follow or any order that requires a formation if the squads or group is already in one. This might occasionally stop the new formation script, forcing the player to repeat the order. This will be fixed in a future version. Notes This version isn’t MP compatible. This feature will be included in a future release. I’ve considered allowing the queue of several orders per group, but I finally discarded it. The goal of this tool is to provide a simple way to manage several squads at once, through simple orders. For other uses you should probably use something more feature-packed, such as the Command Engine or Drongo’s Toolkit. This tool makes extensive use of the forceMap and mapAnim commands. I always wanted to figure out their potential and decided this was a good project to try them out. While it has the big disadvantage of having to navigate by clicking buttons and not dragging with the mouse it allows me to forget about the headache inducing and easy to break onmapsingleclick. So far I like this, but if you think it's a nuance feel free to say so.
