Vehicle respawn loop - multiple vehicles instead of one
WPK-ArmedVeteran posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
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. -
Find out vehicle weapon/magazine classnames
WurschtBanane posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
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. -
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.

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!

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 :(

Spawning & De-Spawning AI Units into a Vehicle via a script
Sokoloft posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hello, In the mission I am currently working on I need the ability to spawn pre-defined units via their string name, to a vehicle defined by either it's editor given variable name, or it's string name. Preferably the vehicles variable name. Then, I'm going to call the script via a trigger that is triggered via the Radio menu. As well as if it is possible, I'd like to then have another script that does the opposite, and de-spawns them, and will be called the same way via a trigger, and they will be On-Off options. Oh and yes, text via side to say that it has been toggled on or off! Any info is much appreciated, as I don't even know were to start. PS: As well as could you explain how to do the same for objects if there is a difference? I could put this information to good use to put the USS Nimitz On station and Off station. -
Update 19August2016: Ready to prep for an initial release. I've tested the vehicle in the Editor and Virtual Garage. It has come along nicely: Suspension is working. Lights are great. Shadows look nice. LODs transition really well. 8 randomized colors. There are some minor adjustments needed: Instruments aren't aligned to actual value, especially the speedo. No firegeom LOD. Using a stock Driver animation, so hands and feet are a little off. Could benefit from a little more texture detail. I'd like to eventually implement a few more extra details - like door animations and whatnot. No passenger positions in truck bed, yet. Apart from the few known issues it's good for an initial release if people want to start playing with it, so what's my next step to release it? I know it's not protected, so what files do I need to create, and how do I do that? Any help, guidance, encouragement is much appreciated! Update 20July2016: Most major issues are reasonably resolved, although things are far from perfect. Currently, the movement and animations of the vehicle are more refined - not at all to a match with real life performance, but at least giving a better illusion that this is a functional vehicle. The textures are getting better - more detailed and less texelized (patches of 4 pixels blocking together after optimizing). The lights function well, and I dare say the exterior lights look far better than the vanilla vehicles' lights (except where there is over-exposure on the grille from the two headlights merging). The suspension and steering could be better, but they function well. I need to tighten the turn radius of the whole LM002, but also lessen the turn angle of the individual steer wheels. For suspension there are a few things that I'd really love to accomplish... The named selections for all the suspension functions are named correctly, and the tire sizes match so that the tires are not floating/sinking. I've assigned certain suspension pieces such that there *sort of* an appearance of working parts, but really they are just flexing and stretching - something that rigid mechanical parts don't usually do. If you're focused on the game and not looking too hard, it'll be fine for peripheral animation. Should there ever be a raised suspension version of this vehicle (or any other vehicle), then this method would be far more noticeable. I still wonder if there is another way... Here is the same initial YouTube video going over the old problems, most of which have been resolved: LM002 WIP Meanwhile, here's a preview pic in-game:

Since my last question regarding HUD visibility in land vehicles got positive answer I decided to give it a go and laid down a basic HUD config and tried it out. With a little trial and error I got it to show up and got it set up so that it is on the helmet and not on a screen. After the initial success I noticed that out of the 3 men crew only 2 see the HUD. The driver and the commander see it, but the gunner does not. For starters I thought this to be a gunner issue (which it still might be) but just now I realized that the commander is a gunner too and the HUD is visible when on that seat. And now im asking here if anyone has an idea what could cause the gunner to lose the HUD, but the driver and commander (another gunner) sees it. Both the gunner and the commander have pretty much the same config, except for weapons and primaryObserver and primaryGunner attributes. --UPDATE-- When I wrote the last sentence about the differences I realized I had not tried switching the primaryGunner attribute around. The "commander" is both primary observer and primary gunner due to the seat being the commander seat and it having missile weapons that require proxies to show up (show only on primary gunner) and it seems that the HUD also is tied to the primaryGunner position. Issue kinda solved itself, except if someone knows how to get HUD to show for other than primaryGunner and driver views. This might lead to losing the commander seat altogether, but that might be the simplest solution and something I have been considering for the particular vehicle.

"specific" lag when boarding disembarking vehicles
pierremgi posted a topic in ARMA 3 - TROUBLESHOOTING
Hi, I didn't find similar topic. Since 1.60, I experience severe lag (black screen, FPS drop to 0), lasting 5 to 10 seconds, each time I embark or disembark a vehicle. This happens during some public MP missions like Greuh Liberation ones . First I thought it was a bad scripted HALO jump, but finally it happens on any vehicle. This server seems to me the most impacted but there are some others with this kind of lags. Anyone else experienced that? -
AI Units sometimes refuse to follow waypoints. Help please!
boriz posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Edit: I've did some editing to the mission and it seems like the issue does not happen as much as it did before, or at least it occurs much less frequently. There is still a problem with helicopters not working at all, but that is being handled by a different script, so I am probably gonna open another thread with focus just on that. Hello! I am having a problem with AI in Arma 3. It's simple, I want to spawn an enemy vehicle with AI in it and then send it on a death mission where it gets almost surely destroyed by players' heavy fire. However, oftentimes (at ~25% chance) the unit just sits still after its spawn and does nothing at all. So, this is my (almost) whole code. The important part is marked between ↓↓↓↓↓ and ↑↑↑↑↑: _group = createGroup east; _type = _usableUnits select floor random count _usableUnits; if (_type isKindOf "Car") then { _unit = objNull; if (_type == "B_G_Offroad_01_armed_F") then{ _unit = [_spawnLocation, random 360, _type, resistance] call bis_fnc_spawnvehicle; }else{ _unit = [_spawnLocation, random 360, _type, EAST] call bis_fnc_spawnvehicle; }; (_unit select 0) setdamage enemySpawnDamage; driver (_unit select 0) spawn scr_killWhenOnFoot; gunner (_unit select 0) spawn scr_killWhenOnFoot; _unit join _group; (_unit select 0) spawn scr_noFuelWhenCarIsStatis; AIunits = AIunits + (_unit select 1); // ↓↓↓↓↓ _wp = _group addWaypoint [posTarget, 0]; [_group, 1] setWaypointType "HOLD"; _group setCombatMode "YELLOW"; _group setBehaviour "CARELESS"; _group allowFleeing 0; driver (_unit select 0) spawn { while {alive _this} do { _startPos = Position _this; sleep 10; _currentPos = Position _this; if ( (_startPos distance _currentPos) < 1 ) then { _this DoMove posTarget; }; }; }; // ↑↑↑↑↑ }; This code is a part of a larger script which spawns a vehicle, fills it with AI units and then sends it to position posTarget through a waypoint. The last part is the problem. The unit sometimes refuses to move, even if its path is not obstructed at all. I've tried to fix this by telling the unit to DoMove every 10 seconds if its detected to be still, but it still doesn't fix the problem. Does anyone else have similar problem? Do you know how to fix this, or work around this issue? -
Using UAV in vehicle gunner's seat causes AI behaviour to take over
colonelmolerat posted a topic in ARMA 3 - TROUBLESHOOTING
If you are in the gunner's seat of a vehicle, and you connect to a UAV, AI behaviour will take over - ie, while you are piloting the UAV, your character will use the vehicle gun to engage any nearby enemies. This can really give away your position if you're trying to be sneaky! -
Hello there, im new here and i wanted to ask what ways there are to add police light bars to vehicles. I know there is that hidepolice 1,0 stuff. I tried that but yea just works for the offroad and doesnt look that nice to be honest. Thats why i wanted to add police lights to old arma 2 vehicles which i have retextured. This is how they look atm http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/548682046894741237/78F1BEFC860618782D8D282B0C64DD4BD5013005/ (this is how i wanted them to look like https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/94/Police_car_from_Afghanistan.JPG ) Btw: if you want give me some feedback on those and maybe what to do even better since these are my first skins ever. Anyways. I want to add some sort of lightbars to them but google doesnt give me anything usefull.. All i need is like a tutorial on adding lightbars to vehicles and maybe how to make them actually work (light flashing and sound) Youtube doesnt show me anythin usefull aswell. Everybody is just showing off but nobody explanes.. If you guys could help me that would be amazing :) sorri for brad english im from england im not :D anyways have a nice day! Edit: why are the links not working? They did for me before i put them in here..

Forcing Tank / Vehicle to remain static how?
instagoat posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hello guuuys, I have a question. Especially with the most recent AI overhauls, AI tends to like to move around a lot. This is problematic, especially when making defensive missions where the AI are placed in prepared, covered positions. Instead of remaining in them and using the meticulously planned ambush position to best effect, they instead leave the position and start racing around (and are shot up much more quickly as a result). Waypoint type does not seem to matter, they leave the position once they spot an enemy no matter what. The type of vehicle also does not matter. Independent cover selection by the AI is extremely bad for vehicles in defense, so I am looking for a workaround for this. Any Ideas? I have thought about using disableAI, but that is something I'd rather not use because once taking hits, I want the AI to move. As waypoints don't seem to work, and I do not know how to script, I am out of Ideas myself. Any help is appreciated. Cheers Instagoat -
[SOLVED] Get objects from vehicles radar
sarogahtyp posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hey guys, The Question is if it is possible to get a list of objects shown in vehicles radar? The reason is that I am working on some little FSM scripts to enhance A.I. shooting from vehicles. Until now I have a zu-39 tigris with this "Tigris Flak Conversion Script". The vanilla ai begins to shoot only if the directly attacking plane (a10) has passed the tigris. My FSM script enhanced that behavior and now tigris begins to shoot if A-10 is about 1.000 m away. Maybe I can optimize it some more. Why I need that radar objects? I want the tigris to target and shoot the A-10 only if it appears on the radar of tigris. -
Above all, I really loved its design, I liked its reminiscence to the Interstellar´s Ranger, the textures and the level of detail it has so far and all, but to me there´s one thing that still bothers: the wings. Why does it have such small wings for a planet like Mars with almost no atmospheric density at all? Judging it for its landing gear, it is designed to land horizontally but it would fall like a brick if you try to fly that ship with those wings. Or was it designed for landing/taking off vertically on/from Mars and then for reentry on Earth? I think an Ascent Vehicle does not need any aerodynamic surfaces at all for a planet like Mars and because most probably it would be used to just reach low orbit and dock to an already orbiting ship or station. Aesthetics aside, I think that it would have been more appropriate for that goal a ship similar to "The Martian" MAV. Overall I think its design, although being awesome, doesn´t make much sense.

HI It's been a while since I've been on here...anyway I need help for 5 seconds, searched but no answer. I need to figure out how to silence a vehicle until a trigger activates allowing it to make sound again. Thanks.

The VhC is the new system responsible for the customization of vehicles, either, defined or randomized. It consists of a set of config properties and classes and a set of functions. It has been introduced in order to replace the old system which consisted in a set of scripts. [vehicle player, ["blu",1], ["AddBenches", 0, "AddTread", 0, "AddHoldingFrame", 1, "AddTread_Short", 1]] call BIS_fnc_initVehicle; More information available here: http://dev.arma3.com/post/oprep-vehicle-customization Usage for designers Mission designers will find what they need with the following examples, which cover most of the cases of use of the system. In addition, an example mission has been published in dev branch of Arma 3 Tools. Parameters: 0: vehicle to customize 1: Variant (textures) BOOL - true to restore default texture source ; false to skip texture source change VOID - Nil to skip the texture source change ARRAY - Array of texture sources with their given probability: ["textureSource1", 0.5, "textureSource2", 0.5] STRING - Variant class name(from the configFile >> cfgVehicles or from the missionConfigfile >> cfgVehicleTemplate) SCALAR - index of the texture source (same as the old system) 2: Animations BOOL - true to restore init phase of every animation sources VOID - Nil to skip change of the animation sources ARRAY - Array of animation sources and probability: ["AnimationSource1", 0.5, "animationSource2", 0.5] STRING - Variant class name(from the configFile >> cfgVehicles or from the missionConfigfile >> cfgVehicleTemplate) Examples: Do nothing because default VAR texture and VAR animation are "false" result = [this] call bis_fnc_initVehicle; Restore default texture and animation sources (reset) result = [this, true, true] call bis_fnc_initVehicle; Randomize everything according to the config file result = [this, "", []] call bis_fnc_initVehicle; //<-- Prefered result = [this, "", ""] call bis_fnc_initVehicle; Skip everything result = [this, nil, nil] call bis_fnc_initVehicle; //<-- Prefered result = [this, false, false] call bis_fnc_initVehicle; Apply the given texture and ignore the animations Priority is given to [missionConfigFile, "CfgVehicleTemplates"] result = [this, "TemplateName", nil] call bis_fnc_initVehicle; random weighted on the given texture sources and their probability, then randomize the animation sources according to the config file result = [this, ["MyTextureSource1", 0.5, "MyTextureSource2", 0.6], []] call bis_fnc_initVehicle; MyAnimationSource1 phase has a 50% chance to be set to 1 and MyAnimationSource2 has a 70% chance to be set to 1 result = [this, nil, ["MyAnimationSource1", 0.5, "MyAnimationSource2", 0.7]] call bis_fnc_initVehicle; MyAnimationSource1 phase will be 1 whereas MyAnimationSource2 will be set to 0 result = [this, nil, ["MyAnimationSource1", 1, "MyAnimationSource2", 0]] call bis_fnc_initVehicle; Change animation sources with a given template result = [this, nil, "MyTemplate"] call bis_fnc_initVehicle; Usage for Modders On the other hand, in addition to the documentation (still wip), modders will find examples of implementation in the samples (car and boat) of Arma 3 Tools (dev branch only for now) As per usual, issues, feedback and suggestions are very much welcome :cool: This feature is still actively developed, meaning it will be adjusted and extended during the upcoming weeks. To be 'extended'...

In order to fix http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=11899 we wanted to make some changes to how switching seats is currently handled and how it is restricted in MP. Because this is a change to a behavior which has been around for some while we'd like to ask you first for your opinion and also ideas about possible risks of such change. E.g. we are aware of several game modes which are using vehicle buying mechanics which could be affected in some way. Our initial intention was to allow for switching to any seat for any player as long as that seat is free or occupied by the AI. But... let me ask you a question first. What behavior would you expect? To be able to switch only to empty seats? Or also to those occupied by an AI? What if this AI i subordinate of someone else and he or she doesn't want you to steal his/her subordinate's position? Or should players always take priority? Would that break or be risky to any of the currently used mechanics? Would you expect yourself to be able to switch to any seat you can get in from the outside? Or not being able to switch seats at all unless you're also the effective commander of the vehicle? Thank you for your feedback!

Hello, how can I extract ingame map to .png file ? Is it possible to use PBO editor or similar software for this purpose? I found this resource dayzero.xam.nu/podagorsk (can`t attach link), this is ingame map for podagorsk. I think men who create this don`t did screenshots from game and don`t collect it in photoshop. I believe that there is an easier way to extract ingame map in img file. Thank you for your attention!
