eden scenario - cant switch driver to gunner in tank??
BobMiFly posted a topic in ARMA 3 - QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Returning Noob here, Just trying Arma 3 again after a year of absence. I play in singleplayer Eden Editor Scenario mode. A couple of years ago I created a Red v Blue urban combat setup on Altis with a helo, tanks, infantry, an enemy base and that big chain-gun-toting landing craft, etc. I'm running Arma 3 with a few of the most popular mods: ACE3 and CUP vehicles, weapons, etc. And with "place vehicles with crew" checked YES. Slowly remembering how to get back into the game.... I started the scenario and found that I couldn't get into some of the armored vehicles. I was able to get into a tank but I couldn't move from driver to gunner. When I clicked on the mouse wheel the switch seats menu appeared, but rotating the wheel did not move the cursor off the "exit vehicle" at the top of the menu. It just made the display slightly zoom in and out a bit. I cant remember how to do this.... So next i started moving as an infantry soldier, and at some point got hit. I tried to administer first aid but I could only get the inventory screen to show up and no way to administer first aid.... I watched a few videos but all just say....click on the mouse wheel and rotate to what you want to do...but none of that works. Probably missing a most basic setting or procedure to enable both of these things. What I really need is to talk on the phone with an Arma 3 pro for about 10 minutes while i sit at my machine with the scenario running....but that is probably not an option...... Any suggestions are appreciated! -
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.

If I've created a vehicle capable of carrying a squad/team (Ghost Hawk, Marid, etc.), and the player character is one of the vehicle crew, how do I command the mounted AI squad to dismount at a location I've driven/flown to? Do I have to do this with a waypoint and drop them at a pre-defined spot, or is there a way I can drop them off at any location on the map depending on the requirements of a developing situation? Thanks in advance.

Help with respawn asset script - INIT
reddford posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hi everyone, this is my issue. Im trying to force the game to display a specific asset on respawn . This is the export code from the virtual garage : _veh = createVehicle ["amf_pvp_01_mag_DA_f",position player,[],0,"NONE"]; [ _veh, ["DA",1], ["showeod",1,"turretshieldhide",1,"showCamonetHull",1] ] call BIS_fnc_initVehicle; So basically, i call my vehicle p1 and write this on the init of the vanilla respawn module : this setVehicleVarName "p1"; [p1,["showeod",1,"turretshieldhide",1,"showCamonetHull",1]]call BIS_fnc_initVehicle; BUT ... did nothing, the vehicle respawn with basic camo texture, no error message on preview during the script exec. BTW there is a mod than a user sent me but it dont work. If you saw an error on my script pls explain to me because i dont understand .. -
Friends, I come to you again, great sages of Arma 3 codes to perhaps solve my current problem... This problem is as follows, I want a static object in my scenario to be destroyed if it takes any instance of damage. The object in question is "Land_PortableServer_01_olive_F". In the init field I tried to put a code that works perfectly on the units: this addEventHandler ["HandleDamage",{ _this spawn { if (_this select 2 > 0) then { _this select 0 setDamage 1; }; }}]; As I said, in units this code works. If I shoot the unit in the foot that has this code in its init, it will be immediate death. But as in the current case the code is in a static object, it doesn't work. I've already tried shooting all the bullets from my gun on this portable server, hand grenades, RPG, tank artillery... nothing happens xD I did a test to see if it is possible for this object to be destroyed by activating a trigger with the code: hard setDamage 1; Oh, the name of the object is "hard" by the way, because of hardware. And another trigger with the condition: !alive hard; Upon activation: hint "It worked"; And it worked... my test. But I wanted this object to be destroyed if it was hit by something, like the code there that works with the units as I explained. If that were possible, I could create a bad ending for the sci-fi mission I'm creating. Thank you in advance for your time!

Issues with AI driver vehicle control
The Zoteboat posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hey there, I am looking for a simple way to stop the player (in the gunner's position) from giving orders to an AI driver when pressing the WASD keys (the good old "forward", "left" etc.) I have created a simple convoy mission, everything works fine (the vehicles follow each other, stay where they are meant to stay, stop at the correct place etc.), but pressing one of the aforementioned keys immediately switches the control of the vehicle to the player in the gunner position, the AI driver completely stops following the vehicle in front and the whole mission is thrown off. I have tried googling it but the solutions either did not work (like giving the AI a higher rank than the player) or were completely incomprehensible for a newbie like me. Unfortunately, just not pressing the WASD keys is not a solution as I play with people who think it is hilarious to always ram other vehicles like it's top gear. Any help would be appreciated. TL;DR : need help stopping the player in the gunner position from commandeering a vehicle driven by an AI -
Make specific AI units disembark from vehicles through waypoints
The Zoteboat posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hello again, As I continue with my recreation of the MW2 Humvee run, I am faced with another challenge. In the current setup, AI units board the desired vehicle, in which an AI driver is already waiting for them, the convoy then moves to a location designated by a MOVE waypoint, where I wish for the combat units only to disembark. Simply linking the desired units to a GET OUT waypoint yields no results, as they refuse to leave the vehicle. I have followed a tutorial from YT on how to make AI units move, get out and back in, but unfortunately this only works for the entire crew of the vehicle. It would be extremely practical for the solution to be achieved through waypoints, as I still very much struggle with scripting lol. If any more information is necessary I shall be happy to provide it. Thanks in advance -
So I put this code in the initialization field of a trigger: private _posATL = player modelToWorld [0,10,0]; private _ps1 = "#particlesource" createVehicleLocal _posATL; _ps1 setParticleParams [ "\A3\Data_F\ParticleEffects\Pstone\Pstone", "", "SpaceObject", 1, 10, [0, 0, 30], [0, 0, -2], 1, 10, 1, 0.2, [2, 2], [[1, 1, 1 ,1]], [0, 1], 1, 0, "", "", _ps1]; _ps1 setParticleRandom [0, [10, 10, 0], [0.25, 0.25, 0], 0, 1.5, [0, 0, 0, 0], 0, 0]; _ps1 setDropInterval 0.04; And the particle effect works. I got this code from the BI website at this link https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Particles_Tutorial that talks about particles: More specifically, it's rock shower code. But here's the problem: I can't delete the effect, either the rock shower or any other effect. When the trigger activates, the effect starts, but I don't know how to stop it. I already tried deleting the trigger, and using the example that says on the site mentioned above deleteVehicle _ps1; But nothing.. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Well... when Im testing my missions in multiplayer mode, some times some things strange happens: A lightning strikes the ground with a bang and several dlcs icons scatter around it. I've also seen an event where a cloud of flyers falls from the sky. What is this???? I didn't do anything for this to happen! :l This is very annoying because in addition to the lag that this causes, immersion is also greatly impaired. Note: I have the dlcs.

Hello, I have been trying to get this script working for the past day. I got a vehicle to only move to the next way point when a trigger has been activated. In this case when BLUFOR is inside a trigger zone for at least two minutes. However, I want them to land wait for all players to get into the vehicle until moving to the next way point. However, doing it the same way I did the original movement it only lands then take right back off regardless of the passengers being inside. In this case the helicopter is called "heli1" and the player(s) are called "player1" "player2" etc. I have also tried using the get out and get in command however, they get out but not back in. Here is the code player1 in heli1 && player2 in heli1; Is there a way for the game to get a list of all active players instead of limiting how many I can have. And how can I fix the problem of the helicopter either leaving us or not moving at all. Thanks in advance. Trey G

I spent the last two weeks making a Mission, ive probably spent well over a hundred Hours making it. Today i was about 99% done. When i wanted to test my recent changes (I Built a Trench and wanted to see if the player can go through it without issues) i pressed "Play in Multiplayer" like you would normally, however instead of the over 100 playable Units that i placed down, only the one that i specifically placed down to test showed up in the Role assignment. I went back into the editor and discovered that Literally EVERYTHING except that last playable Unit that i placed down was gone. If you press "Play" the Mission will autosave and therfore overwrite itself. Is there a way to recover the older Version of the "mission.sqm" ? Im willing to try just about anything at this point as recreating a mission with over 100 Playable Units that all have indevidual Loadouts, all the custom Vehicles and especially all the scripted Triggers will be a Pain to recreate and honestly my motivation to do so is also gone after this ordeal. (sorry for any spelling mistakes, english is not my native languidge.) Please Help 😕

You know that round timer that appears when you revive an ally, repair a vehicle or defuse a bomb? How do I add it to any item I want, and trigger a trigger when the timer circle completes? And if possible, how can I change the time to my liking, like 30 seconds or 60 seconds?

init.sqf won't work when starting in helicopter seat
SupremeTDM posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hello, I am trying to start my mission with an init.sqf that is a black screen with text that then fades out. This works fine if I put my player on the ground and click play but when started in a helicopter seat, the init.sqf doesn't work. How would I use this and start in the helicopter seat? Thanks in advance, I'm somewhat new to all this so I'm assuming it's something small I'm just overlooking. my init.sqf - titleCut ["", "BLACK FADED", 999]; [] Spawn { titleText ["This line here should take you about five seconds to read.","PLAIN DOWN"]; titleFadeOut 7; sleep 5; titleText ["This line should take five seconds as well, if you read slowly.","PLAIN"]; titleFadeOut 7; sleep 5; titleText ["This line however is important. It should take you ten seconds to read it. That's how much time you have to read this line completely.","PLAIN DOWN"]; titleFadeOut 12; sleep 10; titleText ["You don't have as much time with this line, but it is still quite lengthy and ever so informative.","PLAIN"]; titleFadeOut 9; sleep 7; titleText ["But this line.\n\nThis line will make you pause. This line will give you time to...\n\nthink.","PLAIN"]; titleFadeOut 12; sleep 10; // Info text [str ("Not so far away..."), str("Not so long ago..."), str(date select 1) + "." + str(date select 2) + "." + str(date select 0)] spawn BIS_fnc_infoText; sleep 3; "dynamicBlur" ppEffectEnable true; "dynamicBlur" ppEffectAdjust [6]; "dynamicBlur" ppEffectCommit 0; "dynamicBlur" ppEffectAdjust [0.0]; "dynamicBlur" ppEffectCommit 5; titleCut ["", "BLACK IN", 5]; }; -
warlords [SOLVED] WARLORDS mission loading doesn't work
Bombardyn posted a topic in ARMA 3 - EDEN EDITOR
Hello, I recently made my own Warlords scenario in Eden editor and everything worked fine, until I ran on a serious problem. After playing the scenario on a server I made and making some progress on the map, I saved the game and quit. The next day I loaded the saved game, still on the server I made, and then a problem occurred. I couldn't open the Warlords buying menu and the voting system stopped working. It seems like after I load the saved game, the Warlords Init just stops working / deactivates. I tried to change the soldier I was playing with but it didn't fix anything. Can anyone tell me how to fix that please? PS. I think it might be fixed by writing a code that tells the init to activate after the game is loaded, but I don't know how to do that (I cannot write scripts) and I'm not sure if it will work anyway. -

Getting variable from Eden editor for script use
Dnote Gaming posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
So I’m new to coding in general and thought I’d try out scripting in arma 3, I have written code but it does not do as intended. And I don’t even know if I’m using the right commands, I’m done trying to rack my brain scouring BI script command list and random YouTube videos if anyone know how to achieve this please post it here or reference me to where I can get help. so here’s what I want to do: 1. Give variable name in Eden editor. 2. Get variable name given in Eden editor for reference in script as a “class”. 3. Use variable name “class” to run a specific script. plot example: Object (unit) variable name given in editor = Assault //in script code to get the variable name of “This” unit. code to check if the variable name is equal to a specific class name. code that executes another code if the check returns true. if you have any insight on how to achieve this or even close to it please reply -
How to use commands on group of units/objects? For example, I created group of units Alpha 1-5 and set his name "kafegr". Now I can add attribute for all units of this group, for example, hideObject this; But how to use commands on this group outside attributes of this group? I tried to type in trigger following command: hideObject kafegr; but it don't work, so please help me, what I need to type in trigger to hide all units of this group when some player activates this trigger? And second question: how to add boolean? I tried to type: boolean boolk=false; in initialization block, but it don't work. Sorry for my bad english.

I have 10 units. Their variable names are: s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, s6, s7, s8, s9, s10. I want to make all of them be in just one name. How do I set this variable?

Well, how can I make a trigger be activated when a whole group is dead? I found this in another topic with the same question but it didn't work for me : {alive _x} count units (groupname) == 0 tks in advance!

well, i'm trying to create a ww2 scenery with parachute jump. And for that I'm using the IFA3_LIB mod. The C-47s from there have the normal sitting position and also the standing up position which is when you are about to jump. I wanted to make the player not have to worry about clicking anything when jumping, so I got this script so that the jump could be done alone: Now an important detail, this script works perfectly when the plane's crew is seated (in game they appear as: crew) But before the jump takes place/the above script runs, I put in another script that makes the entire crew that was seated to stand up, and therefore be in the standing up position. In this case, when the plane reaches the trigger with the jump script, everyone standing inside the plane is still inside the plane... :l I believe maybe that's why: since when they are standing they are apparently no longer considered "crew". But I don't know, I don't know much about scripts, I was wondering if there is another variety to use in forEach other than "crew" that works for this case... An example of all units jumping out of the plane except the pilot would work but I don't know how to do it. Challenge launched! xD Thanks in advance guys!

Can you remove Grass Cutters after using them?

I have just created a pretty large airbase, I started placing grass cutters and it's lowering frames by 5-10, can I remove these and still keep the grass removed? Thanks. -
Well... I'm creating a mission using ACRE2 but I didn't let the characters have any radio at the beginning. So I edited their equipment and none of them have any radio. But when I test, everybody has an AN/PRC-343 in inventory. They automatically start with it. Is there a way to disable this automatic appearance of radio in the inventory? Tks in advance guys!
