Hey guys! As the title says I'm having problems with Eden Editor and Arma general interface. I DON'T KNOW why this happens randomly, the mods that I use are the same but this problem "manifests" on his own. Basically if I search for an item for example the texts that I'll get as results are all blue and not white as always. I wanted to ask if anyone knows why. Someone told me that it should be "global interface colour" but again, its all set to default, I changed nothing. I'd like to attach a picture but the forum does not allow, idk why , let me know if you see it : https://ibb.co/4jMgBTH Thanks to anyone willing to help..

Hello everyone! This is my first post on here so apologies if something's amiss with my delivery. I am using the following line in a unit's init who I want to activate a trigger upon the player walking up to them, scrolling through the action menu, and selecting "Start Briefing": this addaction ["Start Briefing",{Trigger_Con = true; publicVariable "Trigger_Con";}]; I am then activating the trigger with this line in the condition: Trigger_Con; It would seem things were going well at first, the player walked up to the unit and the briefing started after selecting the action in the menu, activating some code I put in the trigger's activation field, however, I ran into some limitations: 1. The distance at which I can activate the briefing by looking at the unit is ridiculous. (I assume it is 50m.) 2. The menu item "Start Briefing" by looking at the unit still remains after I use it, which I do not want. I have looked at the syntax for the addaction, but I find it confusing and can not get the result I want experimenting with that information. Much thanks if anyone can assist me with either problem.

I'm working on a making a custom map and I really want to make some tunnels for vehicles to drive through and make water cave systems, does anyone know how to do this?

Ok, here's an example: if an AI enemy kills my AI squad unit (friend), it will not end the mission. But if I purposely kill my friend AI unit (Friendly Fire), that will end the mission. I wanted to know if you could do things like that in scripting. I'm so sorry if I'm too bad to point things out. My mother tongue is not English. Please bear with me.

Hello, how can I make an AI die when the trigger is activated? Example: I want my AI to die in a specific situation in case they are still alive.😊

Hello guys, inspired by the great MarkXIII and with a new audio engine around the corner here we go with ~ ArmA 3 Sound Modding 101 ~ What? A place to ask questions (no matter how stupid you think they are) related to the creation and implementation of audio into Arma 3. Be precise, if you have RPT problems, post the RPTs into code boxes so they don't take away half of the site space. Creation -> audio engeneering, sound waves. Implementation -> configs & tools, programming. Valid questions: I have a sound X, how do I put it into the game? how does the whole wav <-> wss/ogg system work? I want the pitch of my engine sound to change, how do I do that? my audio sounds like Y but I want it to sound like X, how do I do that? Not valid questions: when will bohemia release X? is mod X compatible with mod Y? sound-system related questions (my headphones don't work in 5.1 mode) Why? There is no central ArmA 3 sound modding thread. We are all spread around Skype, Discord and PMs, this should serve a central meeting point. Game audio is very closely connected to technical stuff so this should be good for people who can create audio but have problems with implementing it into the game. Good for newcomers: open PBOs and edit current sounds add their own sounds to the game create certain sounds for the game create their own workflow Who? Anyone who wants to help out should help. We already have experienced Arma-Audio advanced users here such as Audiocustoms, TheMaster303, Myself, Laxeman and LordJarhead (probably more that I forget, please PM me their names) all being active community members and having their own areas of expertiese who can surely help. Content I will start producing educational content. Also YOU guys are the content. Ask away. Text Bohemia Wiki - Sound Page, learn about audio configuration Custom script to make the AI fire in full auto, full weapon speed at player position View sound controllers (For the first time in ArmA!)

Hey guys, So everything is running great in the editor and is running during the in-game play test, When I upload and send it over to the workshop to host the terrain becomes invisible. additionally building just float at the bottom of the map vs the points placed on the terrain. I went to rebuild my terrain I get the error " RESOURCES (W): Non standard build technique used" Thank you for any assistance, Snow.

Hey, I have seen this tutorial by Jerry Hopper Arma Reforger Cinematic Timeline howto . He is saving the whole map into the modfolder to make Eden editable, but in my version the "Save world as" button is greyed out. Does anyone know a workaround? It would be just awesome to get the possibility to delete objects and changing the terrain for so many mod ideas. I don't know why BI is restricting that. Same with the texture files. Modded weapons, cars and everything else could look like it would fit perfectly in the game. Have a nice day Mittens

I'll keep it short and sweet, I want an m79 pirate gun like in pic but with a few differences, single weapon mod and I'm wondering if there is A. anyone willing to do this B. how much would it cost to have done?

TypeSqf Editor 1.08 by Engima Overview The TypeSqf Editor is a script editor for Arma 3. The most important features are: Syntax Highlighting Syntax Checking Auto Completion Folding Object Oriented Scripting (SQX Syntax) CPack Service (like nuGets in Visual Studio) Description The TypeSqf editor is a developer's tool for scripting in Arma 3. Besides using it to write SQF code with syntax highlighting and auto completion, it analyzes your syntax in real time, alerting you if something is erroneous or suspicious. Object Oriented Scripting The editor comes with an optional extended functionality for SQF syntax, called SQX. In a convenient way, and with as many similarities to SQF as possible, SQX enables object oriented scripting (classes) and adds type handling. Classes may contain a constructor, fields, properties and methods. It works because the .sqx files are compiled into corresponding .sqf files before executed by Arma 3. The CPack Service The CPack Service is a service for sharing content with other script editors as well as to organize your own code. In short a CPack is a content bundle (a .zip file) that you upload and label with a name and a version number. Then they are very easy for anyone to download and include in any mission. Download Download at Official TypeSqf Site. Installation / Usage 1. Open the zip file and run the installer. 2. Run TypeSqf from the start menu. (See the video "Getting started with the TypeSqf editor" below.) Code Code is shared at Github: https://github.com/XEngima/Apps-TypeSqfEdit Media: Getting started with the TypeSqf editor. Creating and using an SQX Crowd class in Arma 3 using the TypeSqf Editor.

Dynamic Animal/Game Spawn Script This script will continuously spawn animals that can be hunted (and butchered with the ravage mod and the mods "Survival systems" module active) in proximity of the player. Showcase Video: (This is just showing the basic functions with speed up despawn times and reduced spawn/despawn distances FYI) Functions of the script: - spawn loop for animals - random number and type of animals - can be butchered (using the ravage mod and a knife) - despawn once player moves away - customizable code How to create, use and Install the script: Step 1 - init.sqf 1. Open notepad. 2. Copy this code -------> [] execVM "animalspawner.sqf"; 3. Paste the code into your notepad doc. 4. Save the notepad document with this name -----> init.sqf 5. Move the init.sqf to your mission folder. =================================== Note - if you already have an init.sqf then just add the code from 2 to it. Step 2 - "animalspawner.sqf" 1. Open notepad. 2. Copy this code ------> from the spoiler below 3. Paste the code below into your notepad doc. 4. Save the notepad document with this name ------> animalspawner.sqf 5. Move the animalspawner.sqf to your mission folder. ========================================= animalspawner.sqf code: Script Dependencies: No dependencies. However, the Ravage mod and the mods "Survival systems" module is required to butcher the animals and process their meat. You can find all about the Ravage mod here: LINK Setting up the Script in the editor: 1. Find the Ravage section in your Editors "Systems" tab. 2. Place the module "Survival systems" Note: you need a "Gutting Knife" (from the Ravage mod) to butcher the animals 5. Place your player and start your mission. Using the script without Ravage mod: - the script runs without the Ravage mod active, no changes needed Credit: the basic template for the spawner came from a fellow ravager, however I can not trace back the specific post anymore. so shout out to all the friendly scripters from the ravage comunity for all their input;)!

Hello! First | The basic premise of what I am attempting to do is two-fold. A) respawn existing vehicles (of different types - i.e. some jets, some helicopters, some ground vehicles), with the same custom pylons - for the jets/helis - set by the pylon/dynamic loadout editor in 3den. This part works fine thus far (see below). And B) apply unlimited ammo on a delay (i.e. it takes 45 seconds for the ammo to restore) to both the original vehicle and its respawned clone. The main trouble I am having is getting unlimited ammo to work with the new, respawned vehicles. Second | A code dump and summary of what is where: The code below is my unlimited ammo expression in the existing F/A-181 (and other vehicles). Ideally, the missiles & bombs refresh on a delay, hence the {sleep 45} segment. This part works perfectly for my purposes. this addEventHandler ["Fired",{[_this select 0,getNumber (configFile/"CfgAmmo"/(_this select 4)/"explosive")] spawn {if (_this select 1==1) then {sleep 45};_this select 0 setVehicleAmmo 1}}]; This code is present in the expression of a Game Logic and synced to all relevant air vehicles. It works perfectly for my purposes; no errors and functions as intended. [this] call { if (!isServer) exitWith {}; params ["_thisObject"]; _vehs = synchronizedObjects _thisObject; _initScript = { params ["_vehicle", ["_pylons", "none"]]; if (typeName _pylons == typeName []) then { private _pylonPaths = (configProperties [configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> typeOf _vehicle >> "Components" >> "TransportPylonsComponent" >> "Pylons", "isClass _x"]) apply { getArray (_x >> "turret") }; { _vehicle removeWeaponGlobal getText (configFile >> "CfgMagazines" >> _x >> "pylonWeapon") } forEach getPylonMagazines _vehicle; { _vehicle setPylonLoadout [_forEachIndex + 1, _x, true, _pylonPaths select _forEachIndex] } forEach _pylons; }; }; { [_x] call _initScript; } forEach _vehs; [_vehs, _initScript] spawn { params ["_vehs", "_initScript"]; sleep 1; _respawnlist = []; { _respawnlist = _respawnlist + [[_x, position _x, [vectorDir _x, vectorUp _x], getPylonMagazines _x]] } forEach _vehs; while { true } do { sleep 1; { _veh = _x # 0; _respawnpos = _x # 1; _playerdistance = 200; { if (_veh distance _x < _playerdistance) then { _playerdistance = _veh distance _x }; } forEach allPlayers; if (!alive _veh || (_veh distance _respawnpos > 20 && _playerdistance > 20)) then { _vehType = typeOf _veh; [_veh, _respawnlist] spawn { params ["_veh", "_respawnlist"]; deleteVehicleCrew _veh; _veh lock true; _inSpawn = false; waitUntil { sleep 0.5; _inSpawn = false; { _respawnpos = _x # 1; if ((_veh distance _respawnpos) < 30) exitWith { _inSpawn = true; }; } forEach _respawnlist; _inSpawn || ((speed _veh == 0) && (isTouchingGround _veh)); }; if (!_inSpawn) then { sleep 30 }; deleteVehicle _veh; }; sleep 10; _newveh = _vehType createVehicle _respawnpos; _newveh setPos _respawnpos; _newveh setVectorDirAndUp (_x # 2);[_newveh, _x # 3] call _initScript; _respawnlist set [_forEachIndex, [_newveh, _respawnpos, _x # 2, _x # 3]]; }; } forEach _respawnlist; }; }; }; This is the current code present in the "System Specific - Vehicle Respawn" Module expression (not its Init). It does not work at all. params ["_newVeh", "_oldVeh"]; [_newVeh addEventHandler ["Fired", { [_newVeh select 0, getNumber (configFile/"CfgAmmo"/(_newVeh select 4)/"explosive")] spawn { if (_newVeh select 1 >= 0) then { sleep 5 }; _newVeh select 0 setVehicleAmmo 1 } }]] call BIS_fnc_initVehicle; The Vehicle Respawn Module: It throws the no errors upon mission launch and no errors upon vehicle respawn. My friends and I suspect it is not even executing properly. Here are a few screencaps of the 3den editor of the scene in question if it helps you: // Overview of the whole airfield. The Vehicle Respawn Module on the Right by the center of the airfiled is exlusively linked to ground vehicles. It respawns the vehicles fine but without the unlimited ammo. // The test F/A-181. // The Game Logic. // My two primary test subjects (Left is experimental; Right is the control). As you can see, the left F/A-181 is the primary test subject for the Vehicle Respawn Module, as it is synced to both the Vehicle Respawn and the Game Logic. The right F/A-181 (and all other air vehicles) is synced only to the Game Logic. Both jets initially spawn with the proper pylons/dynamic loadouts and unlimited ammo, as expected vis-a-vis the 3den editor settings. Both jets respawn with the proper pylons/dynamic loadouts. Neither jet respawns with unlimited ammo, currently. I feel close to solving this, but I am blind to what I am missing/adding unnecessarily. I have tried numerous other variations with even less luck. I am sure there is some redundancy between the Vehicle Respawn Module and the game logic, and I would appreciate any simplifications there. However, that is a secondary concern. Thanks for reading this far! Hopefully, you can help me and anyone else who wants to do this.

So currently I have not found many ways with my small knowledge of SQF/arma natives or finding anyway online thats been demonstrated- But I'd like assistance in creating a script. Currently I am using SOG Prairie Fire Exectutor/Random Site modules to place caches that are all removeable via addAction for a search and destroy type mission- With each cache being randomly spawned via module. All of this works and I wish to to map markers to said caches that do spawn, as the Random Site module chooses several different locations. I would like only for (in this instance EAST or OPFOR) to have markers on said objects that are the caches. What method could I use for this? A snippet in initPlayerLocal? Can someone help create a mockup of what that would be? Id like: Markers to be visible for OPFOR only in mission MOST methods for one side markers Ive seen show ALL the markers in the briefing regardless Dont know how to actualize this. In initPlayerLocal? In seperate SQF script? Have them tied to editor placed objects. In this case, the object name/type in the screenshot: Multiple objects that are names cache_(letter)(number) ex. cache_a1 Any help is appreciated. I dont really know where to start code wise.

I have constantly checked and put the skill to maximum and made it so the enemy only has a 20mm. Location of target: Dents de midi Location of enemy: 200m south of Chapoi ~400m above ground The issue is whenever I press 'Play Scenario', the plane just starts firing countermeasures instead of firing at its designated target. and then quickly either crashes into my CIWS or flies off, turns around and crashes into the side of the mountain. I have made it so both the plane and CIWS doesn't take any damage but just fight and target each other for the whole time so I can make a cinematic. Here is the used code for the targeting: (Context: Target is 't6') null = this spawn {_this dotarget t6; sleep 0.5; while {alive t6 and alive _this} do {sleep 4; gl action ["useweapon",vehicle _this,_this,0]; }};

Hi there, you did a great job on the Mac port. I use it on an M1 MacBook Air. It's very smooth. I can't find the files and folders for my missions and scenarios I'm working on in the editor. Where are the folders? I can export the missions to the missions folder. But then of course I can't edit them anymore. Any ideas? The "show scenario folder" option in the editor doesn't do anything either. Therefore it's not possible to add scripts to the missions... hmmpff

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!

Hi, I'm trying to make a mission like in Arma 3 Campaign "Stepping Stone", where player have the option to starting poin on map, during the briefing stage. Here's the thing I want to do: https://gyazo.com/f8b7ea5f2126f1300fa5a00bc4505eb6

Hi: I'm creating a WWII-themed mission based on the map @IwoJimaV2 and the mod IFA3, facing up the fow_uscm faction agains fow_ija. I had previously created 2 different missions of the spanish FFAA Mod vs the CUP Russians, using the guide of the wiki (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_MP_Warlords) with no trouble at all, even with custom asset lists, but this time I'm getting several errors that are preventing me from leaving enabled AI slots and buying troops. This mission, however, has some oddities: ·I've chosen as REDFOR the fow_usmc faction (which is coded as independent (greens), but I don't think that's the problem, as I tested changing them for genuine redfor factions, and the fow_ija (BLUFOR)was already in that faction. ·I haven't left any neutral Warlord Sector. All of the island is controled by BLUFOR, except for REDFOR Base (a beachhead). ·There are double REDFOR (american) slots than BLUFOR (japanesse). Japan players are expected to reinforce/help the AI to create a more interesting game, not to push like in a regular Warlords game. ·There are a lot of BLUFOR ambush groups, and random minefields (the System) covering some routes. I don't think this configuration is causing any problems, but the point is I don't even know what else to do, so I'll copy the broken_script alerts I get while opening my game in multiplayer: (I got this logs from ~:\Users\~~\AppData\Local\Arma 3\Arma3_x64_2020-10-13_22-26-51.rpt) This"paragraph" creates a loop that repeats several times. If I let AI playable teammates enabled, I algo get this error: All of my sectors (the 2 bases and 4 sectors) are properly configured and synced ingame. But with AI enabled, they don't even show up. If I disable them, I can play (but the 1st error keeps me from buying troops) Finally, I'm showing you my CfgWLRequisitionPresets. It should allow me already to buy a few fow_ija infantrymen but not even the Infantry category shows up. I'n my file there's also the parameters codeblock, also copied from the wiki, and that (at least) works properly when testing from multiplayer. Well, I think I have more or less explained my problem, and contributed most of the relevant information (just ask me if I should provide more complete logs, the mission files or whatever xD) In case any of my enabled mods is messing up, I'm also sharing my modlist. Most are WWII Assets, along with their dependencies, the Iwo Jima Map, and 3 movement-enhancement mods. I will deeply appreciate any clues about what I could do. This battle wasn't (afaik) represented in any Arma Scenario and I'd like to bring to fruition this project. Regards.

Hey, so I've got a question regarding the setting up of multiplayer spawns *on* static ships in ARMA 3. No matter what I do, I am unable to successfully spawn onto a static ship, such as in the hangar bay of a destroyer, or on the flight deck of a carrier. Is there some secret Bohemian sorcery that I simply don't know that makes it work, because there's absolutely zero material out there on this matter and it's beginning to get frustrating.

I hope you are all well and thank you in advance for your help. Here's my problem: I'm currently making a composition on a vehicle, and I'd like to attach some specific weapons to the sides, which members could pick up as needed. Unfortunately, the weapons in question are addons that appear in the arsenal, but not in the editor. I've seen on the forum that there are ways to spawn an unlisted weapon, but these methods don't allow you to see the weapon before launching the mission. I need to see the weapon in order to place it correctly on the vehicle concerned. Do you know how I can do this?

How do I make the beginning of a mission a black screen with the mission name that then fades into the game. Im new and dont know where to start. all tutorials are 10 years old so i joined this forum. thankyou

Hello, I'm currently trying to write a script that creates a trigger via the radio Alpha channel and that can be activated by the player. The trigger statemesnts should set another unit (hunter1) into a combatmode Red and also have a line of sideChat from the player. Here is what I have so far _trig1 = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", [0,0,0]]; _trig1 setTriggerArea [0, 0, 0, false]; _trig1 setTriggerActivation ["ALPHA", "present", false]; _trig1 setTriggerText "Sniper Cover - Geronimo"; _trig1 setTriggerStatements [ "this", "hunter1 setcombatmode "RED"", "player sidechat "OPEN UP!" ]; }; I keep getting an error message saying I'm missing a "]" but I cant for the life of me figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Denzo

I had need of a way to make new decent looking defenses for anti-air and artillery sites on the fly. So I wrote a little tile layer, called it CPG, and realized someone else might find this useful so here we are. What does CPG do? It takes a predefined set of tiles and lays them in an organic-looking pattern according to the connection rules of the tiles. It provides functions for the mission maker to easily create and edit tilesets as well as spawn patterns made from those tilesets in both the 3DEN editor as well as during mission runtime. The TL;DR is it makes this happen: How does it work? Tilesets are defined in the editor and exported to memory and/or .sqf-file. Tiles come in a limited number of types related to how they may connect. Each type can have multiple variants of which 1 is randomly selected on generation of each tile. A funky hybrid of BFS and Wave Function Collapse algorithm generates a grid and places the tiles according to the connection rules. How do I use it? First see installation steps below. Once installed you can activate the generator by calling CPG_fnc_generate (See below spoiler for examples). The "generate" function differentiates between 3DEN and mission runtime and spawns the objects appropriately. Installation Download the demo mission: https://www.dropbox.com/s/b5gzyv4q3im0tcu/CPG_demo_v1_1.zip?dl=0 Copy the CPG folder to your mission. In your description.ext > CgFunctions class include the file "CPG\functions.ext" like so: class CfgFunctions { #include "CPG\functions.ext" }; Creating your own tileset Here's a quick guide how to create your own tilesets for the generator: If you do create your own tilesets and feel like sharing please post them to this thread. 🙂 Old releases: v1.0 - https://www.dropbox.com/s/e8p4n46cvp5acb4/CPG_demo_v1_0.zip?dl=0
