I'm making a mission where there are 6 missions to do but I only want players to do 3 missions maximum The way I intend to do it is like so: - Every mission has an object "attached" to them - Once the players complete a mission, the attached object gets moved in the trigger - The trigger counts how many objects there are in itself and if the amount is equal to 3.. It gets activated How do I count how many objects are in the trigger and (optionally) how do I detect that a mission has been completed and activates a separate trigger? Thanks a lot ❤️ Edit 1: I found and edited a code, it works but only with units instead of objects but it's better than nothing: (count (thislist select {alive _x })) isequalto 3

So i take a screenshot in Arma 3 and i need to know coordinates (x,y) of every corner of screenshot. Are there any command to return at least coordinate of one corner?

Hello, how do I eject all players from my vehicle (Helicopter) but me, just like in King of the Hill. I know that player action ["getOut", vehicle player; ejects me. But I want it in a forEach loop or something else (depends on what is better) that eject all players but me from the Vehicle. What do I have to put in my forEach loop? Greetings.

Hi. I'm relatively new to modding Arma 3 and using C++, and I would like to know how to add a script to an existing code block. To illustrate this I will provide an example of what I have already done and what I would like to add. What I have already done: class CfgPatches { class insignia_addon { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredAddons[] = {}; version = "1.0.0"; author[] = {author}; authorUrl = "url"; }; }; class CfgUnitInsignia { class patch1 { displayName = "name"; author = "author"; texture = "texture"; textureVehicle = ""; }; class patch2 { displayName = "name"; author = "author"; texture = "texture"; textureVehicle = ""; }; class patch3 { displayName = "name"; author = "author"; texture = "texture"; textureVehicle = ""; }; class patch4 { displayName = "name"; author = "author"; texture = "texture"; textureVehicle = ""; }; class patch5 { displayName = "name"; author = "author"; texture = "texture"; textureVehicle = ""; }; class patch6 { displayName = "name"; author = "author"; texture = "texture"; textureVehicle = ""; }; }; What I would like to add is the following code I found on Arma Dev reddit, which is seven years old. I don't know if it works so if someone could tell me if it still does that would be very appreciated. Here it is: class CfgPatches { class Markers { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion=1.00; }; }; class CfgMarkers { class flag1 { name="name"; icon="texture"; color[]={1,1,1,1}; size=32; shadow = 0; scope = 2; markerClass = "Flags"; }; class flag2 { name="name"; icon="texture"; color[]={1,1,1,1}; size=32; shadow = 0; scope = 2; markerClass = "Flags"; }; }; I do not know where to go from where I currently am or where to insert the code. I do not know how to make a separate code block in C++ for the flags. If anyone could help me, I would really appreciate it!

I am looking to see if there is a way using a script that allows a player that has a Tool-Kit in their inventory to deploy a bike. I'm not very experienced with scripting or anything so i don't know if this is even possible.

Hey, sorry, I'm pretty new to designing missions, so I'm not great at scripting. I'd like to make it so that, on a multiplayer server, with 5-20 players, it randomly picks one or two. The idea would be that it would flash a message on their screen, and theirs only, so that no one who is NOT picked would know about it. Does anyone know what code I should fuck with to do this? I already know how to make it output messages via Hints, I just need to know how to make it randomly pick that one or two players to do it to, without anyone else (including the host, if possible) knowing who was picked.

Is there a way to edit Bohemia Interactives default game modes? For example, I wanted to make a Multiplayer Advance and Secure scenario and the already implemented game mode "Warlords" covers a lot of the needed mechanics. The problem is there's a lot of extra mechanics and UI that I don't really need in the scenario and the modules don't give me enough control. I have tried using light mods like MCC but I wanna keep the mission as light as possible even if it means more work on my end. If any one can just give me A TLDR, point me in the right direction, or even tell me if whether or not what I want to do is possible that would save me a lot of time. Thanks.

Hello! So a bit of backstory, so you know the scroll wheel arsenal that has a restricted option where only "x" amount of items can be in the crate, cargo, etc. until it is used up, similar to how Antistasi has it in their mod? My question is that is there a way I could apply the restricted arsenal concept to an ACE Interaction arsenal or is that impossible? Thanks!

So I'm creating a multiplayer PVP game mode on an Oil Rig I built. The issue is that I'm using two scripts created from two different people and I need to combine them to do what I want. There is a bomb that must be defused and laptops that you must download data from in order to retrieve the defusal code from ONE of the laptops. I have four laptops. The players must download data off of all the laptops in order to find the single defusal code on one of the laptops. The main issue is that when a player clicks the ## Download Data ## addAction, it begins the "downloadData.sqf" process, which is fine, but the bomb defusal script also has an addAction to obtain the defusal code on the same laptops, which leads to one of the laptops randomly chosen to have TWO actions, the ## Download Data ## action and the bomb defusal code action. I want the player to first have to ## Download Data ## before recieving the defusal code, instead of having the ## Download Data ## do nothing and the defusal code just being a second addAction. First Script is the Download Data script. As follows: "downloadData.sqf" *// T8L_var_fileSize = 25687; // Filesize ... smaller files will take shorter time to download! // These create the text for the pop up download bar after the player clicks the addAction ## Download Data ##. T8L_var_TLine01 = "Download aborted"; // download aborted T8L_var_TLine02 = "Download in progress"; // download already in progress by someone else T8L_var_TLine03 = "Download started"; // download started T8L_var_TLine04 = "Download finished"; // download finished T8L_var_TLine05 = "## Download Data ##"; // line for the addaction T8L_var_TLine06 = "Connecting ..."; T8L_var_TLine07 = "Connected:"; T8L_var_DialogAbort = false; T8L_var_DialogSucce = false; //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// T8L_fnc_abortActionLaptop = { if ( T8L_var_DialogSucce ) then { T8L_var_DialogAbort = false; T8L_var_DialogSucce = false; } else { cutText [ T8L_var_TLine01, "PLAIN" ]; T8L_var_DialogAbort = true; T8L_var_DialogSucce = false; }; }; T8L_fnc_addActionLaptop = //This adds the ## Download Data ## action and text to all the laptops { { if !( _x getVariable [ "T8L_pvar_dataDownloaded", false ] ) then { _x addAction [ T8L_var_TLine05, { call T8L_fnc_ActionLaptop; [] execVM "downloadANIM.sqf"; }, [], 10, false, false]; }; } forEach _this; }; T8L_fnc_removeActionLaptop = // This removes the action from the laptops after they have been used sequentially by the player { _laptop = _this select 0; _id = _this select 1; _laptop removeAction _id; }; T8L_fnc_ActionLaptop = // This creates the actual data download process using a pop out download UI so that the player can visually see the download occur in real time { private [ "_laptop", "_caller", "_id"]; _laptop = _this select 0; _caller = _this select 1; _id = _this select 2; if ( _laptop getVariable [ "T8L_pvar_inUse", false ] ) exitWith { cutText [ T8L_var_TLine02, "PLAIN" ]; }; if ( _laptop getVariable [ "T8L_pvar_dataDownloaded", false ] ) exitWith { cutText [ T8L_var_TLine04, "PLAIN" ]; }; cutText [ T8L_var_TLine03, "PLAIN" ]; _laptop setVariable [ "T8L_pvar_inUse", true, true ]; [ _laptop, _id ] spawn { private [ "_laptop", "_id", "_newFile", "_dlRate", "_percent" ]; _laptop = _this select 0; _id = _this select 1; _newFile = 0; T8L_var_DialogAbort = false; T8L_var_DialogSucce = false; createDialog "T8L_DataDownloadDialog"; sleep 0.5; ctrlSetText [ 8001, T8L_var_TLine06 ]; sleep 0.5; ctrlSetText [ 8001, T8L_var_TLine07 ]; ctrlSetText [ 8003, format [ "%1 kb", T8L_var_FileSize ] ]; ctrlSetText [ 8004, format [ "%1 kb", _newFile ] ]; while { !T8L_var_DialogAbort } do { _dlRate = 200 + random 80; _newFile = _newFile + _dlRate; if ( _newFile > T8L_var_FileSize ) then { _dlRate = 0; _newFile = T8L_var_FileSize; ctrlSetText [ 8001, T8L_var_TLine04 ]; cutText [ T8L_var_TLine04, "PLAIN" ]; T8L_var_DialogAbort = true; T8L_var_DialogSucce = true; _laptop setVariable [ "T8L_pvar_dataDownloaded", true, true ]; [ [ _laptop, _id ], "T8L_fnc_removeActionLaptop", true, true ] spawn BIS_fnc_MP; [] execVM "codeAction.sqf"; // Here is where I'm having issues. Both these execVM codes I have added as an attempt to combine the bomb defusal script with the Data Download script in an attempt to make the Data Download script "spit out" the defusal codes. [] execVM "codeRemove.sqf"; // I added a "codeRemove" script because the problem is that every time the player downloads, it executes the addAction in the bomb defusal script, leading to multiple copies of the defusal codes. }; // percentage part by cuel! ctrlSetText [ 8002, format [ "%1 kb/t", _dlRate ] ]; _percent = ( _newFile / T8L_var_FileSize ); _percent = toArray str _percent; { _percent set [_x,-1] } forEach [ 0, 1 ]; _percent = _percent - [-1]; _percent resize 2; _percent = toString _percent; ctrlSetText [ 8004, format [ "%1 kb (%2%3)", _newFile, (if ( T8L_var_DialogAbort ) then { 100 } else { _percent }), "%" ]]; // This creates a percentage increase in the Data Download script to simulate files being downloaded over time. sleep 0.25; }; T8L_var_DialogAbort = false; _laptop setVariable [ "T8L_pvar_inUse", false, true ]; }; }; T8L_var_INITDONE = true; The second script is the Bomb Defusal script (many parts to this script) which creates a bomb timer and defusal UI that allows you to cut wires and press buttons on a keypad. The Bomb defusal script generates a randomized code and wire color to defuse the bomb, and this random defusal code is then put on a random laptop. One of the four random laptops I have in my mission: BOMB DEFUSAL SCRIPT: "codeInput.sqf* //" CODEINPUT = []; CODE = [(round(random 9)), (round(random 9)), (round(random 9)), (round(random 9)), (round(random 9)), (round(random 9))]; //6 digit code can be more or less WIRE = ["BLUE", "WHITE", "YELLOW", "GREEN"] call bis_fnc_selectRandom; // This creates the randomized defusal code. DEFUSED = false; // The defused = false and armed = false is to prevent the bomb from immediately going into one of the two states as this is tied to the endMission tasks. ARMED = false; codeHolder = [laptop1,laptop2,laptop3,laptop4] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom; // This creates an array that randomizes the selection of which laptop will receive the defuse code. codeHolder addAction [("<t color='#E61616'>" + ("The Code") + "</t>"),"DEFUSE\searchAction.sqf","side (group player) == west",1,true,true,"","(_target distance _this) < 3"]; // This creates the addAction command that allows the player to see the code. When they click it it executes the "searchAction.sqf": "searchAction.sqf" *// _host = _this select 0; _caller = _this select 1; _id = _this select 2; _host removeAction _id; _caller playMove "AmovPercMstpSrasWrflDnon_AinvPercMstpSrasWrflDnon_Putdown"; // This just makes the player do an animation when they pick up the code from the laptop. cutText [format ["Code: %1\n Wire: %2", CODE, WIRE], "PLAIN DOWN"]; // I'm guessing this communicates with the functions .hpp scripts and somehow generates the code. "caseBomb.sqf" *// caseBomb addAction [("<t color='#E61616'>" + ("Defuse the Bomb") + "</t>"),"defuseAction.sqf","",1,true,true,"","(_target distance _this)< 5, side (group player) == west"]; // This creates the addAction command on the Bomb Case which brings up the keypad to defuse the bomb. The bomb detonates if the player inputs the wrong code or the timer runs out. So the main issue I'm having is that I want there to be an addAction after the Download finishes. but the problem is that when I try to put the addAction where the download finishes, it spawns a new action every time the player downloads even if its on the wrong laptop that doesn't have the code. It's because the defusal code addAction is firing every time the download finishes but I only want it to fire once. Anybody got any ideas for adding like a limit or something to the addAction, so that the defusal code can only go out once?

Hello! I have problems with drawing icons (default solder icons for all units) in onDraw event handler. Some of the icons are rendered, some are not. Some rendered icons can disappear after moving or zooming map. My dialog: Map onDrawMap script: Seems like I'm make some stupid mistake, but I can't figure out what exactly. 🤔 In-game dialog after creation: After map moving upper: Top-left squad with broken rendering P.S. Scripts and dialog code is shortened for ease of understanding

Hello! I have been working on a mission for a while now, where the players have to take a big town. To do so there are multiple goals and my plan was to provide the players with little rewards for completing certain tasks. One of the rewards was supposed to be a new artillery provider (helicopter or artillery) but i cannot make it work. The mission always starts out with the player group already having access to all the support. Is there any way of setting up a trigger or something that will cause new support units to become available? Thanks in advance!

I am attempting to animate a deck crew man with the "Acts_JetsMarshallingStraight_loop" animation. I am using the BIS_fnc_ambientAnim function. I place the following in the unit init field [deckhand, "Acts_JetsMarshallingStraight_loop","ASIS"] call BIS_fnc_ambientAnim; No issues with getting him to do the animations at mission start. However I would like to have the unit conduct the animation only when a helicopter is inbound and the distance from deck crew to helo1 is <50 meters. I also would want the deck crew to terminate the animation once the helo has landed (isTouchingGround). Here is what I currently have placed in a trigger "On Activation" field: [deckhand, "Acts_JetsMarshallingStraight_loop","ASIS"] call BIS_fnc_ambientAnim; waituntil {{isTouchingGround helo1}; this call BIS_fnc_ambientAnim__terminate}; The same trigger's "Condition" field has this: deckhand distance helo1 < 50; Unfortunately I am receiving an error when the trigger is activated and the deckhand does nothing. I am quite sure that I have designed the script wrong, but I can not seem to find my error. Thank You

(On Dedicated Server Setup) Hello, I'm working on a script that spawns in specific AI units in specific locations upon activation of a trigger. This is for performance purposes but also because I want to be able to disable the AI in certain situations. In order to set the unit in exactly the position I want them to be in, I'd like to use the Eden editor. Next I have a few options on how I can spawn them in. I'm not sure how each will tax the server resources and I'd like to use the option that is the most efficient to avoid latency and hardware slog. 1) I've thought about creating each unit individually via script and pass xyz coordinates for placement. I imagine this will be slow, taxing, and may not even be possible from what I've read about the z variable in position. 2) I can place an object like a "can" where I want them to spawn, turn the can invisible and then replace the cans with my units when the trigger is tripped. 3) I can place my units in a group name, set the units for simulation false and hidden in the init and run a script that activates and shows them upon trigger. I'm leaning towards option 3, but what is the resource cost of having a hidden deactivated AI preloaded in place? Should I expect it to be similar to having them entirely loaded and activated? Should I instead use one of the first options? I'm open to other suggestions as well, but would like to get a feel for how taxing a hidden object and a shown object are on the server. I'd also like to know where I can learn more about activating objects visibility, collision, ect so I'd you have a link of be very grateful.

Hello, I tried to search the forum for something like this but can't find anything that really answers my question, this may belong in the mission scripting section but I don't know what I don't know so sorry if it does. I know how to spawn ai units using a trigger script, and even how to set their positions using waypoints and get/set POS, and how to change their alertness and guarding behavior. But Id like to add enemy AI bases that will be subject to additional scripts later on. I want to be able to place my units where I want them through the Eden editor, but set them to only spawn if a trigger and condition is met. For example, lets say we have Airbase 1 and 2. Both have encounters designed within them, but the player must clear airbase 1 before units at airbase 2 can be triggered to spawn. I'm not so worried about the condition variable, it should be simple enough to pass a Bool when airbase 1 is "captured" that airbase 2 reads, I can figure that out as I go. More importantly, I need the ability to place units in a 3 dimensional space and trigger them to spawn in those exact locations. As far as I know the marker system only works in 2D and while you can pass an elevation variable its not what I'd call accurate when dealing with buildings of different size. The ability to simply create an enemy base with AI in the editor, export it as a module or something and then give it a trigger to spawn would be best for server performance and future adaptation. My best guess: Naming AI and groups, setting some kind of object in their place like an ammo magazine, then on trigger activation replacing the appropriate magazine with the appropriate unit class? But I feel like there is a better way to do this. Very new to this, so I'm sorry if I'm missing something super basic and obvious, I've only been learning simple mission scripting up to this point and have a little bit C++, JS, python knowledge.

Hey Mates, I know it's kinda weird Question but, have anyone tested to Open a Scenario by trigger, or playing (Launching) a mission throughout activating a trigger....Please Help Immediately.

If i wanted to make a script that requires a satchel to be placed on a radio tower to destroy it, what would be a method i could use? Basically im trying to make it so players cant just shoot it with CAS or Artillery. someone has to physically walk up and place a satchel on the tower to blow it up.

If anyone has played the arma 3 campaign 'resist' you know exactly what im talking about. For the rest ill quickly explain. In arma 3 resist you have a sequence in a mission in which you can choose to go a distance by foot over open ground or move to a certain location and enter an 'underground' sewer. The sewer obviously isnt underground because arma doesnt really allow that kind of stuff, instead it is a prebuilt structure, just like a house, but from the inside it feels like its underground. The way it works is a addaction command which teleports you in and out of the sewer and changes time of day at the same time so it seems like its underground. The sewer is built very well and the immersion is immense. Now to my question: Does anybody have prebuilt and/or expanded sewer from Resist? If not, does anybody have a different prebuilt sewer? And in any case, does anybody know the scripts that could be helpful to add a teleport and fadeout/fadein and time change for the object init? Reason is im trying to build a mission for the unit and id like to do something that hasnt been done a million times before. Maybe even @Kydoimos? I know you started building a whole sewer section and I was wondering if you ever finished it/have the started construction somewhere still. The new Composition feature would be amazing for this. Because yours looked realistic and i cant seem to find the right objects to recreate it.

In a multiplayer survival mission I have going, I am trying to prevent my re-spawning players from simply walking up to their own bodies and looting their weapons and ammo -but- I don't want to disable looting altogether because I need them to be able to loot the enemy (OPFOR/Indep) during the course of the mission. So I tried this in an antiloot.sqf: and called it via the init.sqf....but it didn't seem to work. I'm not the best with using scripts so if someone knows what I am doing wrong or has an alternative code for preventing friendly looting i'd be delighted with any help I can get. Cheers

Guten Tag, Ok, so i have tried getting this to work since five hours or so but basically I'm trying to set up the following scenario : I got a perfect Loop with the executioner animations for a executioner and animations for someone that is about to be executed. So far so good, the player however has a chance of interrupting the execution by shooting the executioner. After the player does so however, the .sqf with the animations for both still plays out. I tried playing around with a terminate handler to prevent that from happening but to no avail. Any ideas how to stop the animations from happening midway through the script? Cheers.

Good day to you soldiers! I am after a team of people to aid me in programme/scripting, altering, map creation and passing around ideas to create a new game mode for Arma III multiplayer. When playing Arma III multiplayer, you never take into consideration the limits of what factions can provide in real life, so I have came up with an idea for a full scale war between CSAT and NATO fighting over Altis with AAF forces stuck in the middle, though rather than the normal game modes on Arma III, I wish to put together a new game mode concentrating on a more strategic approach with a hierarchy on each side, and a currency system which can increase and decrease depending on your logistics teams collecting resources, and if you were to cause collateral damage. The war if won by logistics, not by brute force. I envisage a server of approx. 150/180 players, (60 each for NATO & CSAT and 30 [maybe 60] for AAF) on the server at one time, (BIG MATCH) and as it will be a tournament it will last over a few - six hour days from 1600 to 2359 GMT with a list of rules and requirements, and to negate the risk of non-committed players entering the tournament the server will be locked and only accessible to vetted (kinda) players. Each team will consist of a hierarchy system having one Officer in Command (OC) and his four Commanding Officers (CO's), each CO will be responsible for a quarter of the forces and split between logistics, ground offence, air offence and defence. These 5 will need to keep in constant communication to place orders with logistics, set up defences around FOBs and place minefields, call in airstrikes, and advance the line. Hierarchy & Team layout Officer in Command Confirms/denies orders and procurement of resources, the naysayer of the faction. Only person to speak to the 'Umpire' Logistics Officer Normally have ~11 people under his command (inc. officer, Sgt, 2xCpls, 7x soldiers) Responsible for placing orders of manpower, vehicles, equipment, base equipment etc Collecting resources from around Altis Defence Officer Normally have ~9 people under his command (inc. officer, Sgt, 2xCpls, 5x soldiers) Responsible for installing base defences and setting up FOBs Places down minefields [must keep track of all mines placed and sent to OC] Ground offence Officer Normally have ~38 people under his command (inc. 2xOfficers, 6xSgt,4Cpls,23xSoldiers, 3xCrew Responsible for pushing and disrupting enemy operations Air Offence Officer Normally have ~4 personnel (Officer and 3xPilots) Resources and research There are two types of resources, energy which can be acquired from the wind and solar farms around Altis, and oil that is found at all the petrol/gas stations, each resource returned to your carrier, base or FOBs will be counted by at the end of the game, these will be 'sold' granting additional money for the next day, as well as the bonus expenses, you will also gain favour from your investors which in turn increases the amount they will offer at the beginning of each day. Research can be found at 3 different labs(each have 5x documents), 4 airfields and 4 disused military bases (each have the possibility of having 1x documents) which once returned to the carrier or base can be used to climb the tech tree to have the option of more advanced kit, weapons and vehicles. These are less prominent then large cargo containers and oil drums, the documents will be hidden somewhere in plain sight in structures (much like DAYZ loot). All resources and research will spawn every hour, unless not already taken from marked locations (meaning they will not accumulate if not collected) Logistics With the money gained from resources and investors, the OC and CO's must come up with an order form consisting of how many personnel, weapons, vehicles, defences, etc in which I have done a little research and found the real life equivalent of in game items and their costs, no where near accurate (and this is where I need opinions from a team of people) but still looks like it would make you think when sending in your F-181 which costs ~£72,000,000 and a pilot which costs ~£10,000,000 (over 82% of the investors money alone) into a risky, SAM infested, area, or would it be better to send two squads and 2 APCs which would be approx. £6,500,000. AGAIN numbers aren't 100% accurate but it makes you think twice from a logistical stand point. Everything is priced from 5.56 rounds, a spec ops member with his sniper, to the M5 Scorcher and each individual missile. It will be difficult to overlook every piece of logistics but there will be people out there (including myself) to play a more logistical role in helping the team win by accumulating money and spending it in the right places, as a team. This is just the tip of the iceberg on what I have done so far, so if there is someone out there who would be willing to help out with the scripting especially but other help is most welcome then please let me know, if you wish to know more on this 'project' then let me know and I can show you many many Excel sheets and PowerPoints.

WHAT IS SQX? SQX is a script language that is used to create scripts and missions in Arma 3. SQX is very similar to SQF, but it has support for object oriented scripting. PHILOSOPHY SQX extends the SQF language primarily by adding control structures that allow for object oriented scripting. As such, plain SQF is allowed, but it also introduces support to organize the code into classes and inheritances. SQX also introduces a small toolbox of some optionally available new commands and keywords that may be helpful (such as the "return" statement). The SQX language reference explains all the ways that SQX differs from SQF. One could say that SQX is for SQF what TypeScript is for Javascript. FEATURES OF SQX True object orientation (objects and inheritence, virtuals and overrides) Type handling and customizable types (classes, interfaces, enums) Three different kinds of class members (fields, methods, properties) Three different kinds of accessors (private, protected, public) Support for statics (methods and properties) Syntax close to SQF Some new convenient commands (like "is", "as", "return" etc.) Compiler synchronizes line numbers between SQX and SQF to support runtime error handling SQX class objects can be broadcasted between machines Complete reference documentation (at www.typesqf.com). WHAT CAN YOU DO? You can structure your code in an object oriented way, creating your own types and actions using classes, interfaces and enums. Well, these are just the tools. What you really can achieve is great structured code, easy to read, easy to write and easy to understand. It extends the boundaries of what code is possible to overview and control. WHAT IS OBJECT ORIENTATION? If you are a developer, you already know, and the reference documentation and general SQF resources should be enough. I you are not familiar with it then start with this Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-oriented_programming. HOW TO GET STARTED? Download the TypeSqf Editor from www.typesqf.com. Create a new mission. In Eden Editor in Arma 3, create a new mission and insert at least one playable unit. In TypeSqf, select "Open mission" and select the newly created mission.sqm. Install the CPack TypeSqf.MissionTemplate.Mp.Standard. In TypeSqf, open the CPack Console in the Tools menu. Write "Install TypeSqf.MissionTemplate.Mp.Standard" and press ENTER. The mission template (written in SQX) is now installed into your mission. Compile and build the project and play the default template mission. Compile the mission in TypeSqf by using "Compile project" on the Build menu. Play the simple default mission. MEDIA The following video shows when I use SQX to create and use a Crowd object: HOW DOES IT WORK? A class instance variable (instantiated with the new keyword) is under the hood an SQF variable of type Array. The class instance's fields and properties are saved as array items in an order kept track of by the SQX compiler. Methods compiles into global functions, with the instance variable (the class array) sent in as the first parameter. This is of course all abstracted by the compiler and not visible to the developer. All SQX is written into .sqx files, and all .sqx files are then compiled into .sqx.sqf counterparts enabling them to be read and interpreted by Arma 3. SOME IMPORTANT NOTES A language limitation: Due to limitations in SQF arrays it is not possible to instantiate two classes that reference each other. I.e. a parent class can have children, but these children cannot contain references back to its parent. The solution is simply to avoid these kinds of structures, and if you still do it you will get a runtime error. An editor limitation: The TypeSqf editor does not have complete autocompletion regarding SQX, but it helps with the most common stuff. E.g. it only suggests one level of chained properties and methods, and it suggests variable names by searching the whole file instead of the actual programming scope context. If you are an advanced developer, please remember that the SQX language does handle most of expected code structures, which is more than the editor will suggest. THE TYPESQF EDITOR Note that this forum is for the SQX Language, which is closely related to, but also separated from, the TypeSqf Editor. Please only post questions and comments regarding the SQX Language here. Questions and comments about the TypeSqf editor goes into the TypeSqf forum. VERSION HISTORY Version 1.07 -SQX: Support for multiline strings (thanks Josef!). Version 1.06 -SQX: Fixed: Analyze of multiple class inheritence levels sometimes resulted in faulty error messages.

I have a Minefield use'ing the A3 mine Module, but I have now idea to make a trigger fire when all the mines are deactivated. I know it needs to be something like this... if allMines are Active then don't activate... or something like that. My scripting is still very rough so I am just lost on where to start to get that to where I want it.

Question So, I was wondering if it was possible to potentially make a custom text Heads Up Display that looks kind of like the Antistasi HUD. The Antistasi HUD includes things like Covertness, Balance of money, Following, etc... I was wondering how I would be able to do something like this with minimal effort involved. Possible Solutions I've tried using the titleText in order to display a variable from my "Variables.sqf" file, however; this isn't a good idea because I use the titleText for dialogue between the player and AI characters. <Variables.sqf> balance = 1200; <buildingtutorial.sqf> params ["_object", "_caller", "_actionId", "_args"]; _jeep = _args param [0]; _transporttruck = _args param [1]; ["TASK1", "SUCCEEDED"] call BIS_fnc_taskSetState; titleText[format["<t color='#00FF00'>Commander Petros</t>: Welcome to the new camp, newbie."], "PLAIN DOWN", -1, true, true]; sleep 5; titleText[format["<t color='#00FF00'>Commander Petros</t>: Go over to that workbench over there and build the vehicle depot, then come back to me and I'll purchase some vehicles for it."], "PLAIN DOWN", -1, true, true]; titleFadeOut 7; _object removeAction _actionId; _object addAction ["Buy Vehicles", "buyVehicle.sqf", [_jeep, _transporttruck]]; exit; I haven't actually found anything useful regarding a custom GUI or HUD in ArmA 3 quite yet so this would be really helpful. Thanks in advance for potential solution/help in the comments.

Good afternoon, I am trying to find information regarding the automatic navigation of the config file. So far I have been doing it 'by hand' by specifying the values in a list of Strings, for example: STWG_PossibleEASTGroups=[ [configfile >> "CfgGroups" >> "East" >> "rhs_faction_vdv" >> "rhs_group_rus_vdv_mi24" >> "rhs_group_rus_vdv_mi24_squad_mg_sniper",0], [configfile >> "CfgGroups" >> "East" >> "rhs_faction_vdv" >> "rhs_group_rus_vdv_mi8" >> "rhs_group_rus_vdv_mi8_squad",0], ... "C_Heli_Light_01_civil_F", "C_IDAP_Heli_Transport_02_F", ... ]; These values are taken from the editor and pasted into the list. I am wondering if it were possible to navigate the config file and obtain those values directly from the script. Thanks in advance.
