Since the most recent update, I am having issues with my controls. I immediately swapped my controller scheme back to legacy. Everything seems to be working except for my ADS. When I pull my left trigger, I will aim down sights- however when I release my left trigger, my character is stuck aiming down sights. Only way I have found to lower my weapon is by clicking left stick (which lowers the weapon to my waist-not ideal in a firefight) or by sprinting or jumping. It’s very annoying and I would love some help

Intention and some context: I'm making a mission where the players (Multiplayer) need to open a door using a "Dual key lock" Mechanism (like those nuclear launch mechanisms where two keys must be turned at the same time to launch). I believe the best way to go about this is two Holdactions on two separate terminals (KeyReader_North / KeyReader_South in this instance) each activating a variable (VarNorth / VarSouth) and a trigger to check if they're both active at the same time. I've also tried putting a small delay after the Holdaction activates its variable before it turns it back off and resets. [ KeyReader_North, "Scan Card", "a3\ui_f\data\igui\cfg\actions\obsolete\ui_action_arrow_up_ca.paa", "a3\ui_f\data\igui\cfg\actions\obsolete\ui_action_arrow_up_ca.paa", "_this distance _target < 3", "'Wallet_ID' in ((vestItems _caller) + (uniformItems _caller) + (backpackItems _caller))", //Checks if the player has a "Keycard" {}, {}, {_this call Gut_fnc_NorthKey;}, //calls the function to confirm the other variable is activated or to reset the action {}, [], 1, 1000, true, false ] remoteExec ["BIS_fnc_holdActionAdd", 0, KeyReader_North]; [ KeyReader_South, "Scan Card", "a3\ui_f\data\igui\cfg\actions\obsolete\ui_action_arrow_up_ca.paa", "a3\ui_f\data\igui\cfg\actions\obsolete\ui_action_arrow_up_ca.paa", "_this distance _target < 3", "'Wallet_ID' in ((vestItems _caller) + (uniformItems _caller) + (backpackItems _caller))", {}, {}, {_this call Gut_fnc_SouthKey;}, {}, [], 1, 1000, true, false ] remoteExec ["BIS_fnc_holdActionAdd", 0, KeyReader_South]; Gut_fnc_SouthKey = { //Im not exactly sure if im using functions correctly, kinda my first time trying them out VarSouth = true; Sleep 5; if(VarNorth == true) exitWith {true}; VarSouth = False; [ KeyReader_South, "Scan Card", "a3\ui_f\data\igui\cfg\actions\obsolete\ui_action_arrow_up_ca.paa", "a3\ui_f\data\igui\cfg\actions\obsolete\ui_action_arrow_up_ca.paa", "_this distance _target < 3", "'Wallet_ID' in ((vestItems _caller) + (uniformItems _caller) + (backpackItems _caller))", {}, {}, {_this call Gut_fnc_SouthKey;}, {}, [], 1, 1000, true, false ] remoteExec ["BIS_fnc_holdActionAdd", 0, KeyReader_South]; }; Gut_fnc_NorthKey = { VarNorth = true; Sleep 5; if(VarSouth == true) exitWith {true}; VarNorth = False; [ KeyReader_North, "Scan Card", "a3\ui_f\data\igui\cfg\actions\obsolete\ui_action_arrow_up_ca.paa", "a3\ui_f\data\igui\cfg\actions\obsolete\ui_action_arrow_up_ca.paa", "_this distance _target < 3", "'Wallet_ID' in ((vestItems _caller) + (uniformItems _caller) + (backpackItems _caller))", {}, {}, {_this call Gut_fnc_NorthKey;}, {}, [], 1, 1000, true, false ] remoteExec ["BIS_fnc_holdActionAdd", 0, KeyReader_North]; }; The problem I cant figure why, but the holdactions work as intended separately but I cant get them to activate simultaneously. I activate one, then turn to activate the other and see the holdaction icon but I cannot actually activate it until the function runs its course.

Hello gents, I have recently started getting into arma 3 mission making and was wondering how I can make a trigger trigger another trigger (jeez what a sentence). I am aware that you should be able to do it via variables by giving Trigger1 (the first trigger) lets say _TriggerGo = 1 and then putting _TriggerGo = 1 into the condition for trigger2 (the second trigger). Yet I must have done something wrong. Do have to put the variable somewhere into the mission files, maybe the init.sqf? I only really know Python so I am still trying to figure out how to work with .SQF files. Thanks for the help in advance.

Hey, I need help, i have textured my own granit uniform and need help putting it into my cqc server. Tried to make a custom arsenal but cant seem to get it right. Can anyone help me?

A safe zone where you can't shoot or throw grenades. When the player leaves the zone, he can shoot and throw grenades. If the player died and slept in the area of this zone, he again can not shoot in it until he leaves it. If the player left the zone and came back, he can not shoot in its territory.

Hello guys, so i've found this script (its working perfectly), but now i want to make it with planes, the question is in the section "HeliDown" / "HeliWheelsBrake", what command can i use to make this script working with planes (for example nose up and nose down) Note: for IsKindOf "helicopter" -> plane ? Thx team :)) if (isDedicated) exitWith {}; ["HelicopterTaxing", "onEachFrame"] call BIS_fnc_removeStackedEventHandler; ["HelicopterTaxing", "onEachFrame", { params ["_Object"]; if ( (vehicle player != player) and (vehicle player isKindOf "helicopter") and { (isTouchingGround (vehicle player)) and isEngineOn (vehicle player) and (driver (vehicle player) == player) and (isLightOn (vehicle player)) } ) then { private _vehicle = vehicle player; private _speed = 0; if (cameraOn == _vehicle and cameraView == "INTERNAL") then { _text = format ["<t size='1.5' color='#E3FF00'>Taxiing is </t><t size='1.5' color='#00B011'>ENABLED</t> <br/><t size='1.5' color='#E3FF00'> <t size='1.5' color='#E3FF00'>Press </t></t><t size='1.5' color='#007CE9'>%1<t size='1.5' color='#E3FF00'><t size='1.5' color='#E3FF00'> to go forward</t><br/> <t size='1.5' color='#E3FF00'>Press </t><t size='1.5' color='#007CE9'>%2<t size='1.5' color='#E3FF00'><t size='1.5' color='#E3FF00'> to reverse</t><br/> </t> ", (actionKeysImages ["HeliDown",10]), (actionKeysImages ["HeliWheelsBrake",10])]; titleText [_text, "PLAIN DOWN", 0.05, true, true]; }; if ((abs(speed (vehicle player)) < +10) and (1 in [(inputAction "HeliDown"),(inputAction "HeliWheelsBrake")])) then { _input = "None"; if ((inputAction "HeliDown") > 0.5) then {_input = "Forward"}; if ((inputAction "HeliWheelsBrake") > 0.5) then {_input = "Backward"}; switch (_input) do { case "Forward": {_speed = +1.5; if (speed _vehicle < 1) then {_vehicle setVelocityModelSpace [0, 1, 0]}}; case "Backward": {_speed = -1; if (speed _vehicle > -1) then {_vehicle setVelocityModelSpace [0, -1, 0]}}; default {_speed = 0}; }; _speed = ((getmass _vehicle)* _speed / ((abs speed _vehicle) + 1) ); _vehicle addForce [(_vehicle) vectorModelToWorld [0,_speed,-100],[0,-2,-1]]; }; }; }] call BIS_fnc_addStackedEventHandler; player addEventHandler ["GetInMan", { params ["_unit", "_role", "_vehicle", "_turret"]; if (_vehicle isKindOf "helicopter" and driver _vehicle == player) then { systemChat "Turn on your lights to enable taxiing"; }; }];

Hi, I'm looking for someone willing to help me in implementing a weapon to ARMA 3. I have the model, textures and sounds ready, alas I don't possess the skill of actually modding the weapon in to the game. Much appreciated. -JK-

Hello whenever I try to join a server on arma reforger my internet gets disconnected after I press join. My connection is fine on other games. This issue occurred once before but fixed itself somehow but now it's back. Anyone habe any ideas?

Hi, I'm encountering a really weird issue when trying to make a modified version of a pre-existing weapon. TLDR; fire mode is broken (trying to change puts the weapon on my back, and no white bars indicating which mode), infinite ammo, and the OPTRE ammo counter breaks. This is a video with the weapon in question. class twelfth_MA37K: OPTRE_MA37K { author = "Waylen"; scope = 2; scopeArsenal = 2; canShootInWater = 1; mass = 30; displayName = "[12th] MA37K Carbine"; baseWeapon = "twelfth_MA37K"; magazines[] = COMMON_MA5C_MAGAZINES; class WeaponSlotsInfo: WeaponSlotsInfo { mass = 30; class MuzzleSlot: MuzzleSlot { compatibleitems[] = { "OPTRE_MA37KSuppressor" }; }; class CowsSlot: CowsSlot {}; class PointerSlot: PointerSlot { compatibleitems[] = COMMON_SIGHTS; }; class UnderBarrelSlot: UnderBarrelSlot { compatibleitems[] = {}; }; }; }; I've had reports as well that apparently this exact same issue is appearing on other weapons as well, but I've personally not experienced it on my game. FWIW, COMMON_SIGHTS and COMMON_MA5C_MAGAZINES are essentially just long arrays of magazines/sights defined like such; #define SOME_MACRO { "some class name", "bla bla" } Found solution; https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1262214879759302766/1304281870665777254/image.png?ex=672f7b66&is=672e29e6&hm=b583caefd823c01e6bf49a73cae755b7d20c8da7d62c90948b9c192bab97fd18& The circled classes need to not be in CfgWeapons.

Hello, I have just started modding Arma 3 & I can't for the life of me figure this out. So what I want to do is have a part of my model hidable like the backpacks in vanilla AAF wheeled APC AFV-4 Gorgon. I have made an animation & animation source and gotten them to work by using animateSource command in debug console but I don't know why I cant press the checkbox in virtual garage. Images and files provided below. - VehicleCfg.hpp class AnimationSources: AnimationSources { class HideWireCutter { displayName = "hide wire cutter"; author = "Feeniks"; source = "user"; animPeriod = 0.001; initPhase = 0; mass = 50; } }; - Model.cfg class Animations { class hide_wire_cutter { type = "hide"; source = "HideWireCutter"; selection = "cable_saw"; minValue = 0.0; maxValue = 1.0; hidevalue = 1.0; }; }; - in game (nothing happens when pressing "hide wire cutter") - Video link where animation working using debug console https://youtu.be/WQ-5U0goMT0 Edit: Solution was naming the animation class the same as animation source class. I'm dumb 😂

Hello, I'm new to this forum but not new to ofp or arma assault.... I started with ofp cold war crisis then moved up to Arma assault which I did manage to play it on a dedicated server along time ago, kind of ended the game play in 2009. Well life went on and here I am again with both ofp and Arma 2 ultimate sim along with arrowhead staring at me from my computer shelf....needless to say fast-forward to now I'm not tech savvy at all. I'm hoping I could get help with reinstalling Arma 2 on a new system that has windows 11 installed on it only. From my understanding now it's pretty easy to install off of steam I hear now a days, which later on I will upgrade to Arma 3.

I installed some mods famous , but some of them are 0B in the steam properties.. why?

In game I do not have a name over my head, and depending on the server nothing at all so I get mistaken as an enemy a decent amount of time. My steam account that im playing on doesnt have a name at all so I understand why i am having this issue, but i have changed my name on my steam account to reflect actually having some characters above my player in game and its still stuck as if i have no name at all. I have also logged into my Bohemia account thinking that could also maybe have something to do with it or could potentially change my name in game but hasn't worked. I just thought about the fact i may need to change something in the files but I dont even know where to start so i come here to ask the real pros. Is there any sort of fix to this at all?

I'm looking for a way to stop a specific vehicle from being able to be blown up. I want the hull and engine to be invincible, so that the vehicle won't explode when hit, but the wheels should still be vulnerable so that it can still be disabled, just not destroyed/blown up. I'm looking for this to be achieved within the vehicles init field, or via an external script. The reason I want this to be possible is because I don't want a simple vehicle respawn in my mission like I have now. I want to punish players for getting a vehicle blown up, making them have to airlift the damaged vehicle back to base where it can be repaired (I don't need help with the airlift or repairs I've got that covered, just need help on making the vehicles hull and engine invulnerable.) Are there any scripts out there which can help me a achieve this? I was looking into the "SetHit" functionality etc but I am a total noob when it comes to scripting. To be completely honest with you I'd love for someone to figure this out for me as I really don't have a lot of time to dedicate to testing and playing about with things myself

So I have a problem with my helis/planes that whenever someone goes unconscious/is dead in one or one explodes you can't respawn and you either need the zeus to delete you or someone else pull you out of the vehicle. I have made this script so far but it doesn't seem to properly work. { if ( _X getVariable ["ACE_isUnconscious", false]) or (!alive _x) then {moveOut _x} } foreach crew _vehicle This seems to simply move the unconscious guy out of the vehicle even if he is the only one unconscious there. How would I make it so anyone who is unconscious gets moved out of the thing only when everyone else in the vehicle is also unconscious? Thank you in advance

{if (! (["a3_", _x] call BIS_fnc_inString)) then {diag_log format ["%1: MODS! : %2", player, _x];} } forEach activatedAddons; I am trying to run activatedAddons for players through initPlayerLocal.sqf and log it to a dedicated server's .rpt log. However, I've hit a few walls. Most significant of which is, I believe I need the activateAddons function to run on each client but the diag_log to push to the server. I want a record of all addons players join with. The server will not use signed key validation, however I want to keep an eye the mods players choose to bring in. ArmA scripting is quite different from languages I'm used to and I'm quite confused.

I have an issue with a health bar HUD I have made. The texture changes based on the variable and the first time a texture is loaded the HUD flickers. Once each texture has been called it no longer flickers, assuming it is now in memory. _health = round ((1 - (damage player)) * 100); ((uiNamespace getVariable "Health_Status") displayCtrl 91997) ctrlSetStructuredText parseText format ["<img valign='middle' size='0.5' image='\Health_Status\data\health_%1.paa'/>", _health]; The texture files are 128x128 .paa converted from .png using ImageToPAA. Is it possible to preload these textures? I know you can preloadTitleRsc but the texture paths are loaded by the script and not the RscTitles class. Any help please? 🙃

anyone know how to setup a weather system in a new world?

I'm making a tank and I have a problem, I have an animation of hiding an armor element when a hitpoint is destroyed (like ERA), it hides and works correctly, but I want to make an unhide animation after the first animation of hiding after receiving damage is triggered, so that the "visually burnt" version of the top is revealed, I made a model of "burnt armor" but I can't get it to reveal after the 1st animation is triggered, how can I do this? My model.cfg part of animation: class BKL1 { type="hide"; hideValue=0.99999; minValue=0; maxValue=1; minPhase=0; maxPhase=1; source="BKL1"; sourceAddress=0; selection="BKL1"; }; class BKL1_Broken { type="hide"; hideValue=0; minValue=0; maxValue=1; minPhase=0; maxPhase=1; source="BKL1_Broken"; sourceAddress=0; selection="BKL1_Broken"; }; class BKR1 { type="hide"; hideValue=0.99999; minValue=0; maxValue=1; minPhase=0; maxPhase=1; source="BKR1"; sourceAddress=0; selection="BKR1"; }; class BKR1_Broken { type="hide"; hideValue=0; minValue=0; maxValue=1; minPhase=0; maxPhase=1; source="BKR1_Broken"; sourceAddress=0; selection="BKR1_Broken"; }; My animationsources part in config.cpp: class BKL1 { source = "Hit"; hitpoint = "BKL1"; raw = 1;}; class BKR1 { source = "Hit"; hitpoint = "BKR1"; raw = 1;}; class BKR1_Broken { source = "Hit"; hitpoint = "BKR1"; raw = 1;}; class BKL1_Broken { source = "Hit"; hitpoint = "BKL1"; raw = 1;}; So how i can make "Unhide", animation correcly, to make it work?

Hello guys. I've basically created an account to ask for your help as I really don't have any idea what's going on. I'm currently doing a little experiment with some scripts I found on the Steam workshop. I created my mission and created an init.sqf file for testing purposes (of course, inside the mission I created). After that and several tests, I decided to stop and continue today. Nevertheless, for some reason, when I loaded the mission I was welcomed with an error message saying: "Script C:\Users\USUARIO\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\[Sgt]%20Zeonn\missions\DiosDelClimaTEST.Altis\init.sqf not found". My first thought was to make sure my init.sqf was actually a sqf file just in case Windows messed up with my stuff. But it didn't, it is an sqf file and everything is exactly how it was yesterday, after checking the RPT files I saw this: 20:45:49 Invalid path (only relative paths supported): 'C:\Users\USUARIO\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\[Sgt]%20Zeonn\missions\DiosDelClimaTEST.Altis\init.sqf' 20:45:49 Warning Message: Script C:\Users\USUARIO\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\[Sgt]%20Zeonn\missions\DiosDelClimaTEST.Altis\init.sqf not found 20:45:49 ScriptVM file C:\Users\USUARIO\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\[Sgt]%20Zeonn\missions\DiosDelClimaTEST.Altis\init.sqf cannot be opened! It doesn't make any sense because the file path is correct, and file extension is correct (I did the full extension thing, save the file on Notepad++ and with Visual Studio to be double sure). I was about to give up when I loaded another mission, imagine my surprise when I saw the exact same error message, it's happening in all my missions. Even the older ones (like Liberation). However, I discovered that if I export the mission using the editor option (the one that saves it in the steam folder Arma3/missions as a PBO), and loaded using the Scenario option in the main menu, the init.sqf LOADS PERFECTLY, and everything runs as it's supposed to. I don't what's going on, and I have no idea how to solve it. I already tried creating a new profile, reloading the missions, verifying the game files, and everything. Would you guys help me on this? Forgot to mention: if I do an execVM "init.sqf" it also detects the file. Which makes even less sense.

moved to the right topic:

Hello folks I'm running into an odd issue I first noticed while trying to skip time as zeus 13:20:59 Error in expression <cAttributeSkiptime_; _fnc_scriptName = 'RscAttributeSkiptime';#line 1 "A3\ui_f_c> 13:20:59 Error position: <RscAttributeSkiptime';#line 1 "A3\ui_f_c> 13:20:59 Error Missing ; 13:20:59 Error in expression <cAttributeSkiptime_; _fnc_scriptName = 'RscAttributeSkiptime';#line 1 "A3\ui_f_c> 13:20:59 Error position: <RscAttributeSkiptime';#line 1 "A3\ui_f_c> 13:20:59 Error Missing ; I have a mission with a single player SL and a zeus module with #adminLogged as it's owner, I try to use the skipTime module and I see this error and I cannot figure out what I do to fix it, if anything... Any help is greatly appreciated! Not sure if related but using 3den enhanced and ZEN this issue seems to go away, maybe i got mixed up in what is default and what isn't?

I'm having a consistent issue in which playing any mode or scenario ( quicker in intensive multiplayer servers) where Arma 3 will freeze essentially locking me out of my computer, where I will then need to do a hard manual restart. I have so far monitored the temperature of my laptop before and after this issue occurs, and the cpu never gets above 60 degrees and the gpu 70 degrees. I mostly believe the problem is to do with enough RAM, I have 16gb (although with nothing open at desktop it says 6gb in use, which I'm unsure of why). I tried manually increasing virtual memory allocation (set initial paging file to 20gb, max 30gb) I have attached the most recent normal freeze rpt file. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1spyz0So799kkVCWX31ScgfugUMEf7XF7/view?usp=drive_link
