Hello, I primarily do scripting and map work but recently wanted to try to make a vehicle. I have a vehicle in game and working, only problem is the vehicle will only go 42 km/h on all maps except the VR map. I know that it has something to do with the ground material but i'm not sure what to change since this is not my area. I tried to look up the problem but found a bunch of unrelated problems. Thanks for any help I can get. EDIT: I'm a idiot I knew that terrainCoef would change its interaction with the ground but for some reason I didn't think to edit it.

Edit: Nvm close this please. i just fixed the dedicated server issue (forgot to do an isDedicated check) so now putting the script in the vehicle init isn't required. Hey guys, i've been away from the ArmA scene for a while but it's all coming back pretty quick. I feel like ArmA is lying to me; in the init of a vehicle i have the following: nul = [this] execVM "scripts\mhq\respawnmhq.sqf"; and the first two lines of respawnmhq.sqf are: _mhqveh = _this select 0; _vehiclepos = getPos _mhqveh; So then when i launch the mission to test in the editor it has the gall to say respawnmhq.sqf has an: "Error getpos: Type Array, expected Object,Location". Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is no damn array in there right? [this] is an array with a single item from what i know but it's in the vehicle init not the script, _mhqveh is defined as the 'this' from within the array so is that causing it to think _mhqveh is an array? If so is there another way to execVM that script from the vehicle init? I'm doing this to avoid putting this script in the Init.sqf because really it doesn't need to go in there and if i do that it activates twice on dedicated servers but that's another issue entirely (which I'm pretending doesn't happen).

hello how are you guys i tried to convert skech up to p3d but i failed and come objective http://prntscr.com/eyxhid that car i need to convert it to vehicle in arma 3 how can i do this thx for help your sincelry ys2

Hello everyone. I am trying to make a Multiplayer mission where people have to get teleported into a vehicle. I got a Blackfish called "unit1" flying, and I want every player in the server to be teleported into that vehicle. I have tried many different command but nothing seems to work. I thought "moveInCargo" should work, but that only works on local units, not remote units. Things that I tried: {_x action ["getInCargo", unit1]} foreach allPlayers Player1 moveInCargo [unit1, 1]; Player2 moveInCargo [unit1, 2]; Player3 moveInCargo [unit1, 3]; Player4 moveInCargo [unit1, 4]; Player5 moveInCargo [unit1, 5]; Player6 moveInCargo [unit1, 6]; Whatever I try, only me (The host) gets teleported into the vehicle. Other players don't. Does someone know how to make this work?

I'm trying to get a vehicle that has three objects attached to it to respawn with the objects attached to it. In this case its a UGV Stomper that has an ammo crate and two fuel pods attached with the attachto command. I have the drone synced to a vehicle spawn point and it respawns correctly. The objects that are attached do NOT respawn at all even after syncing them to the vehicle respawn point. So, how do I get those objects to respawn and reattach themselves to the drone after the drone is destroyed and respawns?

class textureSources { class LOGISTIC { displayName="LOGISTIC"; author="BSherb"; textures[]= { "LogisticChinook\skins\Heli_Transport_03_VSS.paa", "LogisticChinook\skins\Heli_Transport2_03_VSS.paa", "LogisticChinook\skins\Heli_Transport3_03_VSS_Glass.paa" }; factions[]= { "BLU_F" }; }; }; So, in this case, I'm trying to replace the glass with a specific texture I have devised. However, nothing changes at all. Not even a different texture that I didn't mean to change. Instead, it seems to ignore the glass and only do the regular exterior of the Huron. Am I putting my textures in the wrong order, am I missing something crucial that prevents certain changes? (If there is a specific order things need to be in where can I find said order?)

Version: 1.1 Description: This addon adds a retextured A3 Vanilla Offroader. It also comes with some extra Customizations like the Police Beacons, Afghan Police Siren and an Roll Dumper at the rear. Model is made by Bohemia Interactive, only the exterior texture, the siren and config is mine. Download: Steam Workshop: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=692870391 Armaholic: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=31265 Feel free to post your Feedback and further ideas for this mod!

I'll try to be as simple as possible. Without having to completely remodel the chinook from in game, I'd like to be able to add another variant that is re-skinned as a new vehicle (or at least acts like a separate vehicle, and not a skin added through the mission file). I've managed to get all of the .paa files edited to my liking, as well as a basemod that currently houses my communities content. However, I have no clue how to implement the new skins into the mod so that Arma 3 will recognize said files, and create a new vehicle within Zeus/3den. So, clarification recap: Just a vehicle skin addition On a separate vehicle with a new name

Hey everyone, I was wondering if someone could help me develop a script that would allow blufor units to only be able to enter Blufor vehicles as well as Opfor only being able to enter Opfor vehicles. I would need an array to be specific to what vehicles I would allow units to enter. I do not want the unit to be killed, just kicked out of the vehicle. Thanks, Kdubyadog556

So your typical Arma3 tank, apc has some predefined stuff in it for infantry. A couple of rifles, some ammo, smoke grenades etc. You can customize it. What you want in cargo depends on your mission and I realize this is the case in real life, so there is no ultimate cargo or maybe even typical cargo. I am still curious though, about what real missions take on in their vehicles. There are probably some guidelines, even if its only the financial cost of extra things you want to take, or the physical capacity or weight and size that play a role. - For instance, in many Arma missions, there are some spare rifles stowed in vehicles. Is this realistic? Is this standard? are rifles considered cheap or expensive? - I usually chuck some extra ammo and grenades in the vehicles if the mission allows that. How is that in real missions? Is it normal to have 20 extra mags on a patrol vehicle? or a 100? Are grenades important to have lots of extras? What kind of formula's are used to calculate vehicle cargo supplies? Who decides? If you have a squad on a vehicle, would you want to double the load they have on their bodies with the cargo? multiply it by a factor of days on mission and expected ammo use? Does anyone ever take a bow and arrow on a mission in the cargo? (this is the most important question) I know that real-life military personnel regularly enlightens the Arma community on issues of realism, so I would be very happy if some could give pointers to take into account for creating Arma missions, or even just an interesting comparison between the game and RL.

Hi everybody, I'm trying to spawn a vehicle with crew via script and add one or more waypoionts to it. eerything works fine if the spawnd unit is an infantry group. But if the group contains a vehicle it dosen't work. After searching the net for a solution I found dozends of topics bout it. But they all didn't help me with my problem. Here is the script I use: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- if(!isServer)exitWith{}; G001 = createGroup east; _veh = createVehicle ["CUP_O_BMP_HQ_RU",getMarkerPos "X1",[],0,"NONE"]; [ _veh, [ ["CUP_O_RU_Soldier_VDV_EMR","driver"] ] ] call BIS_fnc_initVehicleCrew; WP001 = G001 addWaypoint [getMarkerPos "X1a", 0]; WP001 setWaypointType "MOVE"; WP001 setWaypointSpeed "LIMITED"; WP001 setWaypointBehaviour "SAFE"; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The vehicle spawns after I have activated the script, but the unit doesen't care about the waypoint. I'm pretty shure I have forgotten something, but I really don't know what. Maybe one of you can help me with that. Thanks for helping me Greetz Joa

Hi all. I'm a total noob to Arma scripting (or scripting at all). I've read some tutorials, but still, nothing better than expirience. But, back to the point. I've been creating a MULTIPLAYER mission with Mobile HQ. I've done some testing with my friends, and generally most of things work, but there's this one issue I can't solve. Here's the code of the script I'm going to reference (the file name is mhq1.sqf and it is executed by execVM in init.sqf): MHQ1 is obviously a name of a marker I have set. mhq1 is the variable, name of object - SUV I have spawned in the editor. mhq1SpawnMarker is another marker I've put down in the base. The marker moving works fine. Now, when I am alone on the server and destroy the MHQ only one MHQ respawns. But then, when a friend of mine joins and we do the same, 2 of them spawn. If another friend join there are 3 vehicles spawning and so on. I've tried multiple variations of this code, including using remoteExec function, but no luck. I can't understand what's the issue, why this isn't working. I am aware that I could use a ready script from the net, but I'd like to learn scripting the way I'm doing it now instead of using other's work. Anyway, thans in advance for helping me out.

Hi. I am spawning a jet via trigger by using this: _vehicleObject = "B_Plane_CAS_01_F" createVehicle (getMarkerPos "marker_spawn_A10");, but its always pointing towards 180. I want it to look towards 270 or so... you get it. Can anyone help me please? I know this is pretty basic and there is a thread covering this somewhere probably... couldnt find it though.

Hello all. I'm trying to set up a simple Zeus template mission using the Nimitz as a base. I'm having issues with player and vehicle respawn. Player Respawn: I'm using the respawn module and have set the following parameters. My problem is players respawn under the carrier at ocean level. If I sync the players to the respawn module, they respawn where they die despite having the "respawn on custom position" selected. I've also tried setting an invisible heli pad as a respawn point but to no avail. What am I doing wrong? Vehicle Respawn: Vehicles respawn on their original position as they are supposed to however they start with their engine on as if I spawned them in the air even thought they are empty. Settings and screencap of the problem below. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. :)

Hi, i want to find out vehicle weapon/magazine classnames in order to be able to change the armament of them. As far as i remember there was some kind of command for that, but i am not sure... And no, i cant use the wiki because i am talking about modded content.

Looking for someone who would be able to make a textures for my vehicle from mod that im currently working on. I can provide you with the UV maps. I cannot offer any money but i can write you as a co-author of the mod. If someone is interested contact me here in the coments or write me a private message.

Hello! I've scoured the animation sources for each of the vehicles that had some sort of door opening or closing mechanism. so i decided to add actions to them I'm not perfect at this, and I don't know if I should've done this differently. Hopefully however, this may be cool to someone else animateVehicles.sqf some of the condition fields broke on some vehicles, so for some vehicles there may be all the actions listed all at once. if someone could help me out with that, that'd be cool. Thanks.

Hi all, I'm frequently scripting around BI modules overriding. I scripted some "multiple bombs" + "napalm" CAS for thus who knows MGI tactical pack addon. Today, I'd like to share a little script if you would like to drop a car (any vehicle) instead of a crate. Place a BI support module (virtual drop). It should work also with a real support. Not tested. Name it. Don't forget the BI support requester, sync modules as usual. In the BI module, write all vehicle types you want (helicopter classes existing in your cfgVehicles); In my example, as I'm fond of UNSUNG: ["uns_ach47_m200","uns_ch47_m60_army"] and this remark: the APEX V44 Blackfish ("B_T_VTOL_01_armed_F") is a plane but you can use it for faster drop! add what you want in the crate init, for example, I like to signal the crate with smoke/flare and add virtual arsenal on it: [_this,{ _this addAction ["<t color='#ffff11'>Arsenal</t>", {["Open",true] spawn BIS_fnc_arsenal},nil,10,false,true,"", ""]} ] remoteExec ["call"]; _flare = if (sunOrMoon <0.5) then [{"F_20mm_Yellow"},{"smokeShellYellow"}]; _fumi = _flare createvehicle getPosATL _this; _fumi attachTo [_this,[0,0,-2]]; Remark: this code is for standard drop of a crate, but will be overridden with vehicle code. add a simple calling code in the Vehicle init of the module (here vehicle is the helicopter, not the parcel!): _this spawn MGI_fnc_dropVeh with the following remark: I use to compile sqf in init.sqf: MGI_fnc_dropVeh = compileFinal preprocessFileLineNumbers "MGI_fnc_dropVeh.sqf"; (You can also directly execVM it, writing _this execVM "MGI_fnc_dropVeh.sqf" in vehicle init of the module). Now, the sqf code: MGI_fnc_dropVeh.sqf: Last version 03rd/08/18 _veh = _this; if !(_veh isKindOf "uns_ach47_m200") exitWith {}; comment "choose the helicopter class you want for car drop, the other ones will drop simple crates."; _home = getpos _this; _grpVeh = group _veh; sleep 3; _currentwpt = [_grpVeh, currentWaypoint _grpVeh]; _currentwptPos = waypointPosition _currentwpt; _currentwptdesc = waypointDescription _currentwpt; deleteWaypoint _currentwpt; _wpt = _grpVeh addWaypoint [_currentwptPos,0]; _wpt setWaypointDescription _currentwptdesc; _wpt setWaypointStatements ["TRUE", " if (isServer) then { [this, this getVariable 'BIS_SUPP_supportRunCoords', 'B_Parachute_02_F', 'B_MRAP_01_hmg_f', this getVariable 'BIS_SUPP_selectedModule'] spawn { _pilot = _this select 0; _wpPos = _this select 1; _chuteType = _this select 2; _crateType = _this select 3; _crateCode = compile ""[_this,{_this addAction ['Arsenal',{['Open',true] spawn BIS_fnc_arsenal},nil,10,false,true,'', '']}] remoteExec ['call']; _flare = if (sunOrMoon <0.5) then [{'F_20mm_Yellow'},{'smokeShellYellow'}]; _fumi = _flare createvehicle getPosATL _this; _fumi attachTo [_this,[0,0,-2]]""; comment 'optional remove the _crateCode line if you dont want an arsenal'; _oldDist = _pilot distance _wpPos; while {_oldDist >= _pilot distance _wpPos} do { _oldDist = _pilot distance _wpPos; sleep 0.1 }; _pilot setVariable ['BIS_SUPP_supporting', FALSE]; _chute = createVehicle [_chuteType, [100, 100, 200], [], 0, 'FLY']; _chute setPos [position _pilot select 0, position _pilot select 1, (position _pilot select 2) - 50]; _crate = createVehicle [_crateType, position _chute, [], 0, 'NONE']; vehicle _pilot setVariable ['MGI_crate',_crate,true]; _crate call _crateCode; comment 'to be removed also, if the _crateCode line is removed above.'; _crate attachTo [_chute, [0, 0, 0]]; waitUntil {position _crate select 2 < 3 || isNull _chute}; detach _crate; _chute setVelocity [0,5,0]; vehicle _pilot setVariable ['MGI_crate',nil,true]; }; }; "]; _grpVeh setCurrentWaypoint _wpt; _wp2 = _grpVeh addWaypoint [_home, 0]; _wp2 setWaypointType "Move"; _wp2 setWaypointBehaviour "SAFE"; _wp2 setWaypointStatements ["TRUE", "vehicle this land 'LAND'"]; _veh land "none"; waitUntil {!isnil {_veh getVariable "MGI_crate"}}; sleep 60; {deleteVehicle _x} forEach crew _veh; deleteVehicle _veh; Hope you'll have fun with that. An adapted version is now included in the MGI advanced Modules addon.

Having a problem - When using the Remote Control feature while I am Zeus - to take over the driver of a vehicle, I cannot turn the headlights off and on. In fact Remote Controlling any bot on the map and getting into the car, "L" does not - the headlights stay off (or on, if forced on). When I jump in as the Zeus unit himself, its fine. But those under his control cannot. Please fix this! Means a Zeus controlled unit cannot get into a vehicle at night and then turn the lights on!

Hi. I want to make a squad get out of a vehicle when a script is activated, and make them get back in when another one is activated. Is it possible to do without scripting, just with triggers init? The unload, load get out and get in waypoints dont seem to work... Btw the squad consists of players and AI. If that is not possible, can i make the passengers and cargo dudes eject? I googled a bit and found something that makes cargo eject but its a btr 80 which means that most people sit on top.

Hello, I'm trying to make animation for dead driver, but it doesn't works. I mean dead animation works when I use switchmove, but it doesn't switch when driver dies.. Here is my config: class CfgMovesBasic { class DefaultDie; class manActions { JPdriver= "JPdriver"; KIA_JPdriver="KIA_JPdriver"; }; }; class CfgMovesMaleSdr: CfgMovesBasic { skeletonName = "OFP2_ManSkeleton"; gestures = "CfgGesturesMale"; class states { class crew; class JPdriver: crew { file = "\Jetpack\data\anims\JPdriver.rtm"; interpolateTo[] = {"KIA_JPdriver",1}; die= "KIA_JPdriver"; }; class KIA_JPdriver: DefaultDie { file="\Jetpack\data\anims\KIA_JPdriver.rtm"; actions = "DeadActions"; speed = 0.5; looped = "false"; terminal = "true"; }; }; }; I know there is ejectdead, but I want driver to stay in vehicle. Also tried with die="KIA_JPdriver" and die = "DeadState", but both failed. Is it something with my animation that should be added or just Arma 3 fault? I've idea how to fix it with simple script, but I'd like to try something "clean" first if it is possible :(
