I'm new to Arma 3 modding and i want to start by making a helicopter based on UH-80 ghost hawk, more precisely - some sort of stealth SH-60B Sea Hawk. To do so, i need original UH-80 3d model so i can modify it. I tried searching for it but i couldn't find anything. I've heard about Arma 2 Sample Models and thought there is something similar for Arma 3 somewhere on forums, but i didn't find anything. I downloaded Arma 3 Samples from steam library but there was no UH-80 3d model. Of course i only want to make this mod and i'm not going to violate licenses and agreements by decompiling game files or using the model anywhere else, but i really want to make this mod. Is there any way i can get the UH-80 3d model?

My mate has had an ongoing issue for over a year with "The cloud file provider is not running." showing up on his screen whenever he tries to launch his game from the launcher, he has no mods and had the same issue with DayZ. He has OneDrive disabled which seems to be the problem for most by looking at the steam community and reddit although hes only disabled it recently after finding out it was an issue (and unneeded) 😂. We've seen some replies saying that its much easier just to reset your pc than to delete OneDrive entirely and obviously we'd rather not have to do this. Any help is good, just really want to get into the game! https://drive.google.com/file/d/16eD7HyXL0jXHzRBvsq3cRCuRmjqPBJ6s/view?usp=sharing

After launching arma 3 through the launcher it get stuck on the loading screen (splash screen) and stays there, I uninstalled every mod and reinstalled the game with no luck, I need help fixing it

Closed for business on the 22nd of October 2023 Armaverse Nordic is hosting a 24/7 WW2 Warlords server with team vs team missions The missions are built on Arma 3's Warlords game mode and use HoverGuy's Simple Shops framework (GitHub, BIS forum thread) to provide players the freedom of choice regarding gear, vehicles etc. while still at the same time somewhat restricting the access to top-tier assets. Warlords game mode offers Sector Control / CTI hybrid style gameplay. This game mode unleashes the ultimate all-out combined arms warfare Note about the overall gameplay: the server is forcing Veteran difficulty, so 3rd person mode will not be available.

Hello everyone, I want to ask if anyone on here knows how to make a "persistance" for a campaign. I explain : My goal is to make the campaign more immersive through 3 things, from end of a mission to the next : Keep the gear (weapon, uniform etc...) Keep the health If a member of the squad / a character is dead he won't show to the next mission During my research it seems some Arma 3 campaigns had some of this by scouting missions, for the gear, and that members of your squad who died are remplaced in the next mission. If someone may had a clue I'll be gratefull. Thanks for reading, Retyan

hello all, new to the forums and A3 mission generating. currently working on a D-Day landing Zeus OP for my group and I'm having issues. When I launch the initial gameplay test from the editor directly everything works as I designed, the German AI forces starting engaging the US landing craft from a range of approximately +/-500m (from mg bunkers to about 150m from water edge). the problem arises when I push the mission pbo to my dedicated server on Host Havoc the AI don't engage unless fired upon or zeus'd right in front of each other. I've tried messing with the AI defenders settings as well as trying to adjust the server settings but nothing is working. what could I be doing wrong or what is causing the difference in gameplay between the 2 types of hosting? thanks!

Hello everyone, For a long while now, I have struggled with trying to manage the maximum number of inventory space on players as a mission maker. Despite my best efforts, players still find ways when I am Zeus to either pick a container where they can have like 40 mags, or loot one later on in some way. I am wondering if there is a way that by scripting, limit the number of magazines all players in a session can pick up. For instance, if you set a limit of 10 magazines, either by stating which mag class names or just having all Cfg ammo you will not be able to add any more and get something like a message saying "I can't carry any more ammo. This is getting too heavy." regardless if you have more inventory space or not. Tips or thoughts appreciated 🙂

Hi ! I want to know if it is possible to import mods from another game (Call to Arms) to arma 3 ? Edit 3D models, configs, animations and templates and make it for Arma 3.

So, I have owned ArmA 3 for a while, (a bit more or less than a year, I sorta forgot...) but I haven't really played it much. I would like to play on a multiplayer server. The only issue is, I can't find any servers that are suitable for beginners like myself. Can anyone of you guys please direct me to some good beginner servers?

I'm part of a UKSF unit leading Induction and Recruitment while also helping with training. We're strictly 18+ so very mature group of people from all over the world. Our average age would currently be 24+ At present we have 30+ members, and that number is growing, so we all get to know each other very well. As a unit we have been operating for 4 years now and we are not stopping any time soon, so all very seasoned Arma 3 veterans. At present we are exclusive to Arma 3, no plans to move to Reforger. We are ambitious though, so we plan on transitioning to Arma 4 when that becomes available. We focus on mil-sim realism and team play with a huge emphasis on the team play and coordination. We have training at 1900hrs BST every Wednesday, with optional workshops throughout the week. And operations at 1900hrs BST every Sunday During the downtime we have a lot of other events for other games going on throughout the week. such as DayZ, HOI4 and much more. Current mods include the best that comes to Arma 3 such as: RHS, CUP, ACE, KAT Medical, 3CB and much more, with all mods being optimized for our equipment available to us at any given operation and training session.

Hi, I have a problem and it is that in this code: switch (_this select 0) do { case "number": { mi_InputText = mi_InputText + format["%1", _this select 1]; ctrlSetText[1000, mi_InputText]; }; case "restar": { mi_InputText = mi_InputText + format["-","%1", _this select 1]; ctrlSetText[1000, mi_InputText]; }; case "clear": { mi_InputText = ""; ctrlSetText[1000, mi_ClearText]; }; case "playerlist": { lbClear 1612; {_dato=lbAdd [1612,name _x];} foreach allPlayers; lbSetCurSel [1612, 0]; }; case "enter": { mi_OutputText = mi_InputText; playername = lbAdd [1612, 1]; hint format["has ingresado %1", mi_OutputText]; [playername, (parseNumber mi_OutputText)] call HALs_money_fnc_addFunds; closeDialog 0; mi_InputText = ""; }; }; I am trying to get the players name as a variable(playername)and as if it were a unit but it gives me an error saying that the variable I give it is a string, does anyone know how to fix it? To contextualize a bit, this variable is taken from a dropdown where the players that are connected are generated.

Hello, I am trying to apply special states to a vehicle with a trigger, due to the states being reset to their defaults upon the respawning of a vehicle. Specifically, the Forbid Disembarking state from 3den Enhanced: Forbid Disembarking Description: Crew stays in vehicle even though the vehicle is disabled. Property: ENH_allowCrewInImmobile DefaultValue: false Is there a way to apply this state to any vehicle that enters the affected area of a trigger? I would like it to apply to any vehicle that passes through the trigger regardless of having a variable name. -OR- I am also using a module from MGI Advanced Modules to allow for the vehicles to respawn with the crew members and keep their waypoints. The problem I face is seen when a member of the vehicle bails out and maintains his move, move, cycle waypoints. Then, the vehicle explodes later and respawns. Sometimes, the vehicle will respawn and will not move from its starting position since the waypoints are stuck to the crew member who left earlier. That being said, if there is a way to give orders to units that enter a trigger zone that would be a good workaround. Thanks.

Example how you add location, into spectator locations tab. This is location in map Altis, under water.

I have not found any useful for that. You may include that parameter in your scripting but it doesn't do anything.

Sil's Simple Random Weather Script "A very simple approach to generating random weather patterns in Arma 3." by Sil Carmikas Version: 1.0 Final setRandomWeather.sqf Description: This is a bit of a mashup using manage_weather.sqf files from the original Liberation 0.924 mission from [GREUH]zBug and [GREUH]McKeewa. The below code will execute within the mission to add random weather pattern generation making use of the newer selectRandom command (Arma 3 Version: 1.56) This does not offer parameter selection for servers, the only customization that can be done is within the SQF file. This is a very basic script I am working with to learn scripting for Arma 3. Anyone is welcome to use this as they see fit. Instructions: Instructions: 1) Place anywhere you see fit, preferably in the root directory of your mission. 2) In your init.sqf, make sure to type in the following: [] spawn compileFinal proprocessFileLineNumbers "setRandomWeather.sqf"; 3) Save your init.sqf, load Arma 3, load the mission and test using setTimeMultiplier. You can decrease the "sleep 900;" command to observe the random changes more frequently for debugging and testing. Download: https://www.mediafire.com/?8mapw7zpwiwspc5 Here is the code below: if (!isServer) exitWith {}; _setRandom = [0,0.1,0.15,0.2,0.25,0.3,0.35,0.4,0.45,0.5,0.55,0.6,0.65,0.7,0.75,0.8,0.85,0.9,0.95,1.0]; // Initial Weather skipTime -24; 0 setOvercast selectRandom _setRandom; // Initial Weather Set Values: 0 = Sunny, clear skies 1 = Stormy, complete overcast skipTime 24; sleep 0.1; // Keep this at or above 0.1, or else simulWeatherSync command will not work properly. simulWeatherSync; // This command will sync the selected weather pattern to appear as it should right away instead of having to wait. // Random Weather while { true } do { 300 setOvercast selectRandom _setRandom; // selectRandom is the new engine solution to BIS_fnc_selectRandom. This will select a random weather pattern from the array in variable _setRandom. Values: 0 = Sunny, clear skies 1 = Stormy, complete overcast. sleep 0.1; }; sleep 900; // Rests for 15 minutes real-life time before selecting new weather pattern. For 24 hour day cycles (1 in-game second = 1 real life second) or whichever you prefer, you will want to update this to make sure weather shifts as appropriate. Changelog: v. 1.0 Final: -Made a variable for the values for the Initial Weather and Random Weather sections = _setRandom -Made both setRain and setFog options available now. Refer to the setRandomWeather.sqf file for instructions on how to add for FPS control. v. 0.3 Beta: -Made setRain entries optional. The script will now automatically select the appropriate rain amounts without any restriction. If you want the restriction still for FPS purposes, then use the "If Then" statements provided in the script comments within the SQF file itself. -Added more options to the setOvercast arrays. This gives an increased range of options for selectRandom to be able to use. v. 0.2 Beta: -Removed setFog entry from Initial Weather section -Changed setFog settings in Random Weather to the following ----> 0 setFog [0, 0, 0]. This update ensures that the fog level is zeroed out, it's intent being to help with FPS issues. -Added selectRandom command to Initial Weather settings to make a more randomized starting weather pattern. Please feel free to do with it as you wish and how you see fit. Tweak it, mod it, break it, anything. I am open to constructive feedback. If there is a better way to do this, please share. I'd like to get as much info available out there for others learning to script as well too for this same type of thing.

I have some boxes (Weapon's Cache) scattered across my map. They can be "retrieved" by any BLUFOR player (BLUFOR player has to use the hold action), which removes the box, adds CuratorPoints to all BLUFOR Curators and removes the question mark from the map (where the box is located). They can also be "destroyed" by any Independent unit (Independent player and AI has to use the hold action), which removes the box and removes the question mark from the map (stopping the BLUFOR Curators from gaining CuratorPoints). I currently have this in the init of all the boxes scattered across the map. When used by any player, the trigger just removes the question mark from the map and nothing else. I think I need to use remoteExec for the deleteVehicle part and the addCuratorPoints, but I do not know how to use that function. Please help!

Hello there. Arma 3 Preset Generator is an open source web app that allows you to create, share, customize and download launcher presets based on a list of steam workshop IDs provided via URL. You can find the source on github (github.com/a-sync/arma3pregen) and continuously deployed instances at arma3pregen.cloudno.de and arma3pregen.devs.space. (check below for usage examples) Features preset sharing made effortless 💚 optional mods can be customized on a simple UI on the fly outputs standard Arma 3 Launcher preset files remembers previously selected optional mods URL format All the preset information (preset name, mods/collections, DLCs, optional flags) is stored in the app URL's query string component. Additional information is loaded through various steam APIs but the steam workshop is considered the single source of truth. Preset Name Custom preset name / file name can be appended to the URL after `?`. Only alphanumeric characters + `_` is allowed. If the preset name is set, the ID list must be separated with `=`. ID list Comma `,` separated list of IDs evaluated from left to right in order. Appended to the URL after `?` or `=`. Mods inherit the optional flag from collections but the last state in order affecting a mod takes precendece when rendering the UI. (see example C4G RHS KotH) This means that you can override the optional flags of certain items in collections to extend or restrict them. In other words it allows you to mix and combine existing collections and mods to customize the required and optional mods in any way you like. The selected optional mods are remembered client side in relation to the preset name. You should also take advantage of the workshop collection feature and create permanent links with workshop IDs pointing to the currently used required and optional collections. (see examples FNF and FNF WW2) Optional mods Append or prepend a `*` to flag an ID optional. Workshop IDs (collection, mod) Only numbers and the optional `*` prefix/suffix is allowed. DLC IDs Items starting with `!` are added to the preset as DLC/CDLC AppIDs. Only numbers and the optional `*` prefix/suffix is allowed. Local mod IDs Items starting with `@` are added to the preset as local mods. Only alphanumeric characters + `_` and the optional `*` prefix/suffix is allowed.

Hello, I am looking for an experienced developer (or two) that are willing to help my life role-play server expand and grow to something much more unique. The server/community currently uses/has: Lakeside heavily modded Custom mission file with plenty to do Some bugs, not majorly game-breaking 55 players all-time peak 20-40 players average but we have the money to spend on advertising once the server is more unique Approval for Bohemia monetization We're looking for someone who has advanced knowledge in developing scripts (not just configuring) and is familiar with MySQL (not a requirement). I really hope I'm not breaking any rules by posting this but from what I read on the forum guidelines, it seems alright. Just to be safe, I won't be posting any links/mentioning the community name. Please contact me if you're interested, I will look forward to working with you.
