Just a little snippet that you can put in the init-field of a unit in oder to spawn a dog in its place. The dog is actually attached to the unit and the unit is made invisible. Therefor you can simply play, command or remotecontrol the unit in order to move the dog. Action menu (or the button to hold your breath) allows you to bark. If you go prone without moving, the dog will sit. if (isServer) then { 0 = [this,"Fin_random_F"] spawn { params ["_guy","_class","_act"]; private ["_dog"]; _dog = createAgent [_class, getPos _guy, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"]; _dog setVariable ["BIS_fnc_animalBehaviour_disable", true]; _dog attachTo [_guy,[0,0,0]]; _guy hideObjectGlobal true; [_guy,["Bark", { params["_me","_you","_id","_d"]; _d playMoveNow "Dog_Idle_Bark"; _me setVariable["bark",true,true]; sleep 1.5; playSound3D [format["A3\Sounds_F\ambient\animals\dog%1.wss", ceil random 3], _me, false, getPosASL _me, 40, 1, 10]; sleep 2; _me setVariable["bark",false,true]; }, _dog, 0, false, true, "holdBreath", "_target isEqualTo _this", 0, false, ""]] remoteExec ["addAction", 0]; while {alive _guy && alive _dog} do { if (speed _guy > 10) then { _dog playMoveNow "Dog_Sprint"; } else { if (speed _guy > 6) then { _dog playMoveNow "Dog_Run"; } else { if ((speed _guy > 2) || (speed _guy < -2)) then { _dog playMoveNow "Dog_Walk"; } else { if !(_guy getVariable ["bark",false]) then { if ((stance _guy) == "STAND") then { _dog playMoveNow "Dog_Stop"; } else { if ((stance _guy) == "PRONE") then { _dog playMoveNow "Dog_Sit"; } else { _dog playMoveNow "Dog_Idle_Stop"; }; }; }; }; }; }; sleep 0.05; }; deleteVehicle _guy; }; }; Note that this is not meant to feel like playing as a dog, it is just a tool for gamemasters to have some easily controllable dogs that they can use.

I was wondering if there is a way to create custom loadouts for AI in Eden, group them into squads and then use them in Zeus? I was trying to do this with Copy and Paste in zeus but the AI reverted to their original loadouts.

Hi there, I am having an issue with zeus, where vehicles won't respawn at all. And which still happens after a fresh install of Arma 3 with no mods and removing all profiles :( Any help would be greatly appreciated Many thanks

So I'm trying to change the draw distance in my custom Zeus server. The in game configure menu doesn't allow me to change the actual server settings, I've heard there is a module or script or something that allows you to but I can't find it after 15 minutes of googling. Is this just not a feature or am I just missing this?

Dabbling with the respawn loadout module. Dropped it in while playing mission, selected some of my loadouts, asked my guinea pigs to respawn and see if the loadouts I shared were available and they were. After selecting one of the kits I shared, when they respawned they just had some random kit. It's worth noting that we are using mods such as ACE and RHS. Is there something else I have to add to the mission structure to allow the loadouts to actually transfer (aside from the name of my shared loadouts being available in their list)? Running on rented dedicated server. Zeus Respawn Loadouts Saved loadout can be given to players as respawn loadouts by Zeus. Works only in scenarios with MenuInventory (CHECK) respawn template enabled. Save your loadout CHECK Play a scenario as Zeus CHECK Place Modules > Respawn > Loadouts CHECK Select side tab CHECK Expand Arsenal category CHECK Select the saved loadout. CHECK After confirming, players of the given side will be able to respawn with your loadout. NOPE!

Just want to put this out there in case anyone else is experiencing this. I've been using Zeus on the multiplayer server I play on with no issues for a few months and ever since the Laws of War update I can't use the map without my game crashing while using it. I can open the map and change camera positions once, beyond that any time I open the map it crashes my game instantly and references a memory issue. I have no problems operating Zeus as long as I don't use the map, but slipping up means restarting the game. Anyone else dealing with this?

All-In-One AI Command Menu A "WW AI Menu" Patch By Leopard20 & WindWalking This thread is no longer updated! For the latest release, check here Hello everyone. As you know, the WW AI Menu was one of the first and best AI mods released in the early days of ARMA 3 release. It addressed a lot of issues and shortcomings with the vanilla ARMA commanding system, and packed a lot of handy features including: - Infantry commands such as healing, garrisoning & clearing building, rearming, .... - Vehicle commands such as engine on and off, horn and eject with parachute. - Waypoint system with the ability to assign multiple waypoints to your squad members. - Weapon accessories (silencers, flashlights, ...) - Unsticking units. and .... Read more about the mod: https://forums.bistudio.com/forums/topic/153621-ww-aimenu-complimentary-commands/ Unfortunately, when Windwalking left the community some of the features ended up broken, and due to the community rule forbidding people from taking over and/or changing an author's work without their permission, nobody has stepped up to bring this mod back to life. Until now. I decided to bring this mod back to life in a way that respects the community rule and the author's work. Namely, "patching" the original mod by adding features and fixing broken ones. As a result, you will need the original mod installed for my mod to work. You can activate the menu by pressing Y .If you use the "Y" key for Zeus or anything else you can either change the keybinding for those features (I personally use "Ctrl+Y" for Zeus) or change the keybinding for the menu by navigating to: "OPTIONS > CONTROLS > CONFIGURE ADDONS > (dropdown menu) All-In-One Command Menu". I've also included a userconfig file where you can add support for your mods (if they are not supported already). Currently you can add support for: Resupply vehicles, AT soldiers (used in the rearming script) and the Handgun suppressors. Note that you might need to enable "file patching" for the config file to work (either add the -filepatching commandline or enable it in the launcher parameters). This mod is compatible with other commanding mods (such as C2). Although I don't recommend using both for issuing the same command at the same time (e.g when you use C2 to order your units to mount a vehicle, don't use the same command in this mod, as it may cause conflicts and unforeseen consequences) I also recommend this mod as it makes issuing regular and frequent commands a lot easier: (you may need to change the default keys used by the mod, keys 1, 2, 3 , 4, as these keys are used for switching weapons) Advanced Command System (ACS) All features were tested using the vanilla ARMA vehicles/weapons (including all DLCs up to the time of release), and work as intended. However some features (the most important of which being weapon accessories) may not work in other mods (such as RHS or CUP). Edit: As of version 0.50 Beta most features should work with other mods without issues. If they don't please post your feedback in this thread. Here's a quick overview of what is changed: Unchanged: Fixed/Modified/Removed: Added: Screenshots: Notes: Special thanks to: - @Windwalking for his awesome mod. - @Muzzleflash for helping me with showing objects on the map and also teaching me a lot about scripting. He's one of the best guys on this forum. - @mad_cheese for allowing me to use the "Bounding Box" function used in his legendary mod, C2. - and everyone else who kindly answered all my questions on the forum. Disclaimer: I can't guarantee this mod is completely harmless. Please back up your ARMA 3 directory located in the "Documents" folder (C:\Users\YOUR_PC_NAME\Documents\) prior to using this mod (especially the file *.vars.Arma3Profile and the "saved" folder because they are the only files that may be affected). Multiplayer support is in alpha state and not fully tested yet. Dear Moderators, The current release still uses the scripts from the original version. Also, to avoid some conflicts, I had to rename the global variables. If you think this mod is still not in compliance with forum rules please let me know to come up with a solution (you can PM me or post it here). By installing this patch, the original mod will be disabled (If you want me to leave it enabled please leave a feedback and I'll re-enable it).

It's because some users reported they had trouble setting up WW AI Menu (mostly because of FilePatching used in WW AI Menu, which complicated things), so I decided not to make it necessary to have this mod. A couple of such reports:

I have made a Zeus Mission. Now i want to have a script/eventhandler that automatically changes the owner of EVERY AI unit i spawn to Headlessclient, which i called HC. I am doing this for performance reasons. I have been looking, but i havent found anything, except for this https://gitlab.gruppe-w.de/Missionsbau/W-Zeus/tree/master/Zeus/components/headless ... but i have no idea how to implement it.

After the Orange DLC i have been getting crashes while playing with Zeus when i delete units. Happened to the 3 other people from my group who usually use Zeus ingame. Is there anything i can do?

Hello everyone, Apologies if this has been asked already or if there is a super simple solution that I am just incapable of finding. I am writing with a question concerning the Zeus ability to hear voices of other players. As Zeus I am able to set radio frequency that the team is using and hear them talk, which is obviously fine. However, in order to hear them talk to each other via the normal local chat with the help of TFAR, I have to teleport near them as invisible. That is understandable, but is there any way for me to hear their local chat without the need to teleport right next to them? That is problematic since in the midst of action one does not always have time to teleport, and furthermore, as an HQ I often chat to team leaders on a long range radio which may then be heard by the players that I have teleported next to. I have noticed that Luetin does have this ability as seen in this video: but I never wrapped my head around how to make that work. That would be an immense help when Zeusing. Thanks for any help, Adam

Apoligies, this is more of a MCC related question than Zeus, but I figured this was the best place for it. I'm using Zeus along with MCC4 to create some re-playable SP content but Im running into a bit of an issue. After entering preview mode and making my mission and changes within Zeus, then saving via MCC (export sqm data, replace sqm data in mission file) everything works BUT.. the units/events are not starting from where they were originally placed, instead they are starting from wherever they were when I saved the sqm data, which is obviously not ideal. I've watched some Youtube videos and done some reading (to learn what I know to this point) but Im not seeing any mention of this problem or how to address it. So I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong. Any ideas?

I cannot see any official Servers being online anymore

I am currently playing on a CUP map in Chernarus. I made a scenario at an airfield and after completing it, I've decided to Save&Exit. However, a day after I wanted to come back to continue the scenario, everything was there on the map and usable, no errors. However in my "Create" tab in Zeus, I only had a few factions to chose from, compared to the first time I started the scenario I had all my mod factions. The only factions accessible now were the standard ArmA 3 factions, which I just don't really use or like that much anymore. And the factions from the mod I used when I played last, which was RHS: GREF. I could not access any other faction from any other mod. Basically I had CDF, ChDKZ and such from GREF, but that alongside "NATO" "NATO Pacific" and such from ArmA was it, I didn't have the USA factions, the British Armed Forces, Bundeswehr, nothing. Long story short, after resuming a scenario in the game, all the factions I didn't use no longer appear in my "Create" menu in Zeus. What can I do to resolve this? P.S. I have my Zeus set to "All Addons (Including unofficial ones)" and I do see all of them if I start the scenario from scratch, however if I resume the scenario after quiting and saving it, everything other then the stuff from the mods I used is gone. Thank you in advance!

There is a feature in Eden Editor where you can create a composition and save it as your own, rather its just objects or units themselves, even customize them and put them into their own category. But then has anyone ever thought about having those personally saved custom compositions be put into Zeus? Going into Zeus and spawning units you made with Arsenal Loadouts right away? It even has a perfect empty spot in the Zeus composition bar for such a feature! I wish there was some way into doing that but so far I'm having no luck. No modders that I know of has made anything similar and the potential for it can be amazing!

Hello All, Today I come to you as a dedicated Zeus player, moderator, admin and Zeus from official servers. Most of you may know me as simply Andrew, I am around on Arma on a daily basis. I come to you to ask for your help in restoring the official Zeus servers to there former glory by asking Bohemia Interactive to remove the nonsense respawn option added in the last update. Before I start, I want to acknowledge the positive side of the revive mode as yes, there are occasionally bonuses from it. It shows that there is a lot of flexibility for Arma and that the options are always there. For the odd mission here and there without respawns if all the settings are set to cruel times, it can partly work to generate a good mission. It has many options and provides players with an alternative to the main death system. Despite this however, I believe all the cons far out way the pros. Arma 3 is advertised as a military simulator, the most realistic one in the world in fact, yet last update with Malden they added the option for revive. Reviving does not exist in military combat. There is no first aid or medic kit that can deal with a fatal or even light bullet would enough for a soldier to continue in battle without issue. Never has a person taken a sniper bullet through the brain and been able to stand up and carry on fighting after first aid. So why do we have to endure this on Arma? I appreciate that Bohemia are trying to show off the possibilities of Arma and that server hosting is an option, but the official servers are meant to represent Arma and do we really want Arma represented in this manner to new players? Those of us who are unable to host a server due to costings or other technical restrictions have to use official servers, and as the main player base if we can come together I believe we can fix this problem. The other option told to us is that the admin can remove the option in parameters, or the Zeus can request the admin turn it off. This will just encourage people to vote out Zeus's and admins just to disable revive mode and in fact it is happening right now. A number of communities will join servers with the ultimatum of remove revive mode or lose admin/Zeus. We don't want to generate a toxic player base for a game that has such a positive and supportive community. Overall, we the community, have a job to make sure the Dev's know when they have made a mistake or that they have done things we don't like so they can understand the fans views even if nothing changes. Lets join up and see if we can help the Dev's realise how much better Zeus is without revive mode. Thank you for reading. Andrew/Bubbles

When the Malden update comes around, does BI have any plans to add a zeus mode to it as well for use in the Official servers and our own private servers?

Hi there, I have this: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=26339 which supports Zeus as a gamemaster. I was wondering how I can use unofficial mods in Zeus in multiplayer. Thanks a lot, Flames.

This has been happening a lot lately... Zeus works, then doesn't, then maybe it starts working again, and then stops working again. All in the same game session. Doesn't matter if I or my other admins are #adminlogged on our dedicated or if I am just dinkin' around on my own machine, locally. Ideas?
