I have rental dedi arma 3 server and i have INIDBI2 for save system on it. Right now there is a save game button in the game screen, but i want to get it on the pause menu save game button, the button is grey now. Button i have right now is scripted like this: "initplayerlocal.sqf" Player addAction ["<t color=`#38BAFF`>Save Game</t>", {[] call UN_savedata;}]; How can i script it in the onpause menu "save game" button? I find this link, but i don`t get it work

I've been tinkering with values of a mod that my Milsim unit uses. With all the mods we have somewhere along the pipeline has overly increased and made more realistic A.I. in which they also have more health but the weapons we use our simulated extremely well. The problem is the mod we use for our mortar damage range just isn't realistic and a direct impact may kill a single person on a group of 20 with no armor on. I wrote a script similar to what I'm doing here but with RHS and updated the weapon damage values just by using CfgPatches and I'm trying to do the exact same thing here but they named their ammo with a "( )" in it. Which upon compiling the addon doesn't allow it to continue as it returns an error along the lines of [line 13 expected = received "("] does anyone know a workaround or how to get this to work properly? TL:DR - Can't update damage of an ammo type because the class name has a symbol in it that the addon builder assumes is apart of the code rather than just being apart of the name. VZ99 CfgAmmo.hpp My CfgPatches in a separate addon I'm creating giving me the error. (Only editing the HE and HE_Multi ammo) As far as I can determine the issue is that the class name having ( ) is the issue but I can't edit the original addon CfgAmmo due to their licensing. If anyone knows a solution I'm open to anything.

Hi, I want to remove this GPS cross from the map which is showing while the player is in an aircraft. I want a map which is finally a map and not a GPS device named map.. How can I achieve that? In-game options? Script? Mod? Thanks

Hey all, back here with a question. I am looking for a way to get access to some variables which have the same name with an increasing numerical suffix. I tried to do something like this but to no avail // Trying to get access to objects named (in the editor) obj0, obj1, obj2, obj3, etc. private _maxIdx = 4; // I get this from somewhere else but I define it here for completeness // Increase an index for[{private _i = _0}, {_i < _maxIdx}, {_i = _i + 1}] do { // Create the name of the variable private _var = "obj" + (str _i); // Parse the name of the variable as a string _var = call (compile _var); // Get the object variable // Get the position of the object _secPos set[_i, getPosATL _var]; // Get the position of the object placed in the sector // Delete the object placed at the sector objective deleteVehicle _var; }; This doesn't seem to work. The only evidence I have (haven't done the testing myself unfortunately) is that the objects (obj0, obj1, obj2, etc.) are not deleted in the editor. Any ideas or insights are most welcome :).

Hello, community. Here is what I want to achieve: - I want to combine 3 different animations into one; - the player should be able to play these 3 animations sequentially; QUESTION 1: Should these animations be united as one and used all together in one script or QUESTION 2: Perhaps they could be used individually with a “wait until” command between them, so the script “should wait” until the first one is completed in order to perform the second one and when it is over, the third one will be played as well. ANIMATIONS: 1. The player waking up being wounded and then stands up after X seconds. 2. The player then looks around like in another script we already well know where he can set up a camp, sleep and then wake up in X hours. 3. The player then moves along an invisible way with his weapon in his right hand like in a cinematic intro. I have reworked this last animation’s content making it stop functioning when: player distance obj1 <X. This means I need to stop all these animations, when they are completed, with this part above, used in a trigger’s “On Activation” field. Animations: Nr. 1 - should be put in player’s init field: [this, "PRONE_INJURED"] call BIS_fnc_ambientAnim; 0 = this spawn {waitUntil {time > 10}; _this call BIS_fnc_ambientAnim__terminate; _this switchMove "AinjPpneMstpSnonWnonDnon_rolltofront";_this playMove "AmovPknlMstpSnonWnonDnon"}; Nr. 2 - should be activated by: player addAction ["<t color=""#F8FF24"">" +format["Set Up Camp"],"Camp_Script\spawn.sqf"]; Here you can find the files for this script: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=28555 Nr. 3 - in a trigger or in playerinit.sqf: player disableAI "move";_nul = [] spawn {player switchMove "Acts_PercMwlkSlowWrflDf2";player disableAI "ANIM";waitUntil{(player distance target1) < 8};player switchMove "";}; [1, 60,true,true] call BIS_fnc_cinemaBorder; - target1 one is the object that the player needs to reach and when he does, the animation stops working. So, friends, how can we combine these 3 animations into one? Thank you in advance! Happy scripting and cheers!

Guys I have this hold action set up to revive downed team mates. My issues are: 1) How can I reduce the completion time if the caller is a medic? 2) Can I cancel the holdAction with a hint if the caller has no FirstAidKits? (I want the hold action to show even if the caller does not have the firsAidKit, I just want the hold action to exit with a hint, would if ((({""FirstAidKit"" == _x} count (items _caller))<1)) exitWith {hint "You need a firstAidKit";} work inside the conditionProgress field? Thank you!

I have got a script that works by calling it like this: guard = [op1] execVM "HousePatrol.sqf"; is there a way to call this script for multiple units at the same time so as not to write: guard = [op2] execVM "HousePatrol.sqf"; guard = [op3] execVM "HousePatrol.sqf"; ...

Hi, I'm new to scripting so forgive me for what I'm asking. I'm trying to make a training mission for my clan. I need to randomly place four flags inside a given area defined by a marker, and these four flags have some constraints in terms of the position in which they can be placed. Here's a bit of the code: traguardo setPos ([["white"], []] call BIS_fnc_randomPos); blueflag setPos ([[[getPos traguardo, 4500]], [[getPos traguardo, 2500], "water"], _this inArea "white"] call BIS_fnc_randomPos); where "white" is the name of the above-stated marker. When I run the code, it returns me the error: |#|_this inArea "white" Error undefined variable in the expression: _this don't know why though. Thank you greatly for your help.

Dear follow Arma addicts, can anyone point me towards a performance conscious script for: 1) Replacing all the non tracer ammunition from both player and ai with tracer ammunition, both at their weapons and inventories. 2) I believe tracer ammunition effects only happens when the magazine is almost empty. Is there any way to make every round have (or simulate) tracer effects? Basically I want to simulate old school battlefield games (BF2, BF3) were all rounds have tracer like effects that help players identify the origin and location that fire is coming from. (I need to up the feedback and gameplay friendliness of my mission while compromising some realism). Thank you in advanced!

I am practicing building a CQB training ground. I would like to add some features. the present situation 1. Made me create a task. 2. AI will be summoned at the marker point when the trigger is executed. 3. Removing AI will complete the task. I'm going to do a mission like this. Recreate the task in the game and then go back to I want to make it possible for me to complete it again. In short, it's a rotation system. It's hard to get out of the game and log back in. I was troubled by a nuisance.

I'm working on this event for a mission of mine where a ghost hawk flies into the AO, the player, and their squad board said ghost hawk, and the ghost hawk takes them out of the AO. I decided it would be best to use CaptureUnit for this, as the AI piloting can be unreliable at best. And because I wasn't sure how else to have it so that the player and squad would have a limited amount of time to board the helicopter, I decided I'd break the UnitCapture into two parts: Part one flying into the AO and landing, and Part two taking off and RTB. Part one works fine up until the moment the UnitPlay finishes, at that point the helicopter flies back up into the air and then lands again. And once the player and ai are in the helicopter it does lift off the ground, but then it just hovers, but it's giving me no indication that the script has any errors (and I'm very confident that it doesn't myself). Is there something I can do to fix this? Or should I go about getting the helicopter to pick up the player some other way?

I have been searching for a solution to this for a few days, and finally decided to make a post. Is there a way to remove specific default actions from an object through scripting in ACE3? Or even disable to interact with a specific object at all? I would like to remove the ability to remove wheels and repair from a set of vehicles. Sorry if this is not the exact location to post this, but the ACE wiki does not seem to have anything on this, and I couldn't find an answer online.

I'm looking to see if it is possible to lock stand-alone doors so that only certain player IDs can open them. And if so, can it be done through a script in the mission folder so that IDs can be added without having to open the mission file in Arma every time I'd like to change the list?

Hi everyone, Need help with this script. I create a marker who spawn on tanks placed in Zeus on the map call T1, T2 etc... This marker could be dynamic. I mean its move with the tanks and show on the map, with a bliking effect only when the player will be at a defined distance. So I try this, but the marker don't move with the tank. I try to use setPos getPos player, to attach markers to tanks but nothing. The Marker will be create correctly, could see on the map, but didn't move with de tank... _tank = ["T1", "T2", "T3", "T4", "T5"]; while {((!alive _tank) && (player distance _tank < 1000))} do { (_marker1 = createMarker ["mark1", _tank]; _marker1 setMarkerShape "Ellypse"; _marker1 setMarkersize [500, 500]; _marker1 setMarkerColor "ColorRed"; mark1 attachTo [_tank]; ["mark1", 3, 50] spawn BIS_fnc_blinkMarker; }; Somebody could help me?

Hello everyone and happy new year! I wish you all the best! I am working on a mission where the player takes part in an invasion on an island and must disembark wtih his squad on the beach. There will be some locals and civilians around and I need to make them run away in fear and afraid of the invaders, when the soldiers are spotted by the civilians. So this should be used as a condition. But I know there are some commands that work for the entire class or type, just like the markers. I use such a script that hides all the markers on the start of the mission and makes them visible when a condition is met. It works for all of them, so I need a script that would include all of the local civilians walking around the island. I intend to add a voice file and a text with their screams of fear or something like that inside the trigger, if this script works from a trigger and it will be repeatable. So, would you help me with this? I'd even appreciate a single script that works with one civilian only and simply add it to every one of them I place in the editor. Thank you in advance! 🙂

I've just begun modding in Arma 3, after someone approached me and asked me to help him with modding in a beret that didn't exist anywhere on the workshop yet, I did everything as he asked me to and followed closely Arma 3's limitations (10k triangles at most, no smooth shading, all triangles, taken from https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Modding_Characters). I used Blender to model the beret and managed to export it into a P3D file, then I exported its texture in a PAA file, then I created its icon and saved it as a PAA file, too. The problems began with the config file. I used a tutorial for a steel tube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxiwU94zwjg&) first, and actually spawned it in the game, it appeared in my inventory, but it didn't exist once I dropped it onto the ground, I thought that's just because I didn't add a line to the config, I don't think it's important so I ignored it Then I found an actual config file for a headgear (from https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Characters_And_Gear_Encoding_Guide#Headgear_configuration) and I thought if I just changed up some things it'd work good enough. After I was done modifying that config file and got the mod working the game wouldn't let me spawn the beret in. I didn't get any debug messages, nothing. The beret just wouldn't spawn in my inventory, as if it didn't exist in the first place. Now I know this is a long post, but I feel like I needed explained my whole "adventure", so that maybe someone gets an idea of what the problem might be. Here's the mod file if you want to check it out https://github.com/Kalimedes/Mod

There are some scripts for vanilla arma that you can use to get an AAF Pawnee or something like that i wanted to try it with modded vehicles i use cup vehicles and there is a AH-1Z with AAF camo i wanted to put the camo on the Apache because they look kinda similiar and it might look good i tried alot of pathways but it didnt work it just makes the body of the vehicle invisible and thats it when you put a pawnee reskin on a slammer it just looks weird and it doesnt go invisible im just gonna dump in all the pathways i have and some pictures. this setObjectTextureGlobal [0,"A3\cup_airvehicles_ah1z.pbo\data\UI\aaf_ah1z_body_co.paa"]; this setObjectTextureGlobal [0,"A3\addons\cup_airvehicles_ah1z.pbo\data\UI\aaf_ah1z_body_co.paa"]; this setObjectTextureGlobal [0,"A3\@CUP Vehicles\addons\cup_airvehicles_ah1z.pbo\data\UI\aaf_ah1z_body_co.paa"]; this setObjectTextureGlobal [0,"A3\!Workshop\@CUP Vehicles\addons\cup_airvehicles_ah1z.pbo\data\UI\aaf_ah1z_body_co.paa"]; this setObjectTextureGlobal [0,"A3\!Workshop\@CUP_Vehicles\addons\cup_airvehicles_ah1z.pbo\data\UI\aaf_ah1z_body_co.paa"];

Hi everyone and happy new year! Introduction This is my first script in 2020. @Ori150418 posted a request about a marker searching system and this piqued my interest so I got to work. This script adds a searchable list with all markers to the right side of the map (see video below). Features Adds list with all markers Markers are searchable by their text Updates positions periodically Updates markers when opening the map Includes user made markers List is hideable Note: The performance might suffer in missions with a lot of markers. The example mission has a small test built into it which generates 100 markers randomly on the map. I'd appreciate feedback about the performance as I have a good enough system to not notice a difference. Usage Copy the file "fn_markersearch.sqf" to your mission directory Add the following line to your init.sqf/initPlayerLocal.sqf: ["init"] execVM "path\to\file\fn_markersearch.sqf" Video Downloads https://github.com/7erra/marker_search Have fun!

Hello guys: I am working, creating on the map Staszow, Poland 1944 a CTI. German army against Soviet forces. In each town there is a garrison of the red army that watches over it. When German forces attack that enclave. The Soviets ask for help on the radio and, within a few minutes, two IL2 planes appear. if (!isServer) exitWith {}; //_crew1A1 = []; //_airframe1 = []; //if (isServer) then { _crew1A1 = creategroup EAST; _airframe1 = [getMarkerPos "marker_1A1", 45, "sab_il2", _crew1A1] call BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle; _pos = getMarkerPos "marker_1A1"; _pos set[ 2, 150 ]; sleep 10; _airframe2 = [getMarkerPos "marker_1A1", 45, "sab_il2", _crew1A1] call BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle; _pos = getMarkerPos "marker_1A1"; _pos set[ 2, 150 ]; _wp1A1 = _crew1A1 addWaypoint [(getmarkerpos "WP_1A1"), 1]; _wp1A1 setWaypointType "MOVE"; _wp1A1 setWaypointSpeed "FULL"; _wp1A1 setWaypointBehaviour "AWARE"; _wp2A1 = _crew1A1 addWaypoint [(getmarkerpos "WP_2A1"), 2]; _wp2A1 setWaypointType "SAD"; _wp2A1 setWaypointSpeed "LIMITED"; _wp2A1 setWaypointBehaviour "COMBAT"; }; This is the little script that handles air strikes. I publish it in case anyone is interested. It's nothing otherworldly, I know, it's very simple, but it works. It fulfills its role. Three empty markers are used: 1.- marker_1A1 where the planes appear. 2.- WP_1A1 First waypoint (MOVE) 3.- WP_2A1 Second waypoint. Attack Point (SAD) It's very easy, but if someone wants the demo mission, I can send it to them. Happy new year, guys.

With this script you can generate bullet impacts at designated positions and on designated objects. Basically its like movie stunt squib sequences being fired. Demo Mission Download I've been on a roll lately, but this is probably the last release of 2019. I'm making up for the summer when I couldn't type (so scripting wasn't an option). But I start a new job in January, so I probably have to slow down on my favorite hobby... 😞 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!
