Enemy AI Options For Stealth-Gameplay? Zeus
saddle posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hello everyone, and thank you for taking the time. I am an experienced Arma Zeus and like the title of this topic says, I am looking at options when it comes to the enemy AI in order to generate as seamless of a stealth gameplay as possible for players. Been looking around a whole lot and not managed to find any answers so far, any tip or input is very appreciated! On it's own, the game is hardly an ideal game for stealth gameplay? It can be very sensitive and fidgety in how AI works and scripts too. So the idea is that I regulate all of this manually as the Zeus for the players. Even making the AI a bit dumbed down, to give the players a sneaky chance to pick people off. How I currently do it is that I turn the enemy faction into an ally for the duration of stealthing, that way the AI will not do anything strange or go alert, until I choose to .. which I switch the AI back into hostile relation again. All of that works perfectly - but when players kill the 'friendly' ai, they lose standing and become eventually renegades and traitors. So players will have issues getting into vehicles ect with some traitors on the squad, and eventually the AI even if friendly in relation will still open up on the player that ends up becoming renegades. How I have tried to resolve this is; to increase all players standing and rating constantly throughout the operation, but eventually this will not work out or be viable. I have also set all players to max rank of Colonel. If there was such a function like making all AI on one side, currently spawned in, not engage or go alert until I press a button or so that would been good but I doubt this exists? Anyone have any ideas or pointers for how to run manually controlled stealth gameplay like this as Zeus? Or other work arounds or options? It is far too much work to manually press pockets of spawned units, and run an init line on all of them everywhere, and then run an init line to activate them again ect. Things are happening too fast for that. -
Enemy AI eye awareness marker
black_hawk_mw2_87 posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hello, my fellow community friends! I have a very "strange" and at the same time interesting idea, having seen it in various FPS games. As you all know, in some games, during a stealth mission, the main character must stay in cover and undetected by the enemy... for at least as long as possible in order to complete a secret task or avoid being captured, being behind enemy lines. A little example is Battlefield 1, where the player was behind the German lines and had to stay hidden for the enemy for as long as possible and then, when detected, fight his way back to the friendlies. I was wondering if such a eye awareness (spotting) system can be somehow created, using all the information and possible commands, scripts and "magics" that exist among the community, no matter if they are vanilla ones or BIS'. For example: when an enemy is spotting the player or his teammates, the knowledge begins to arise a little, and a marker, like in those games I mentioned, starts to appear, changing also its color from white to red. By "knowledge" I mean "X knowsAbout player >..." And this would vary from 0 to the highest possible number, may be 4 in this case. So, we'd need a complex script, including all possible variants up to this highest number, which are checked one by one, and when they start to grow, this action would respond or represent the marker value and visibility on the screen, which means it also should get bigger and more red with the time. And, of course, if the player is no longer being spotted by enemy AIs, it should start to dissapear, using the same method backwards. Another command, reveal, also may come in handy, if it is possible to use it as well, or to combine both. I know it sounds complicated, but if such a marker is not possible to be displayed, how about any other kind of indicator, like an alarm, or anything else. A possible marker to use is the already existing one, by using the "use" button for marking something on the map, where a yellow marker with a sounds appears at the marked direction. So, do you think now that my idea sounds crazy... or it's a perfect new option to use in missions... 😉 -
Make enemy know where player is
captainflash55 posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hello. I am very new to coding. I need a code/script to make enemies know where all the player location are and follow them (they do it automatically anyway?) Basically i need to make the AI know the location of all player and hunt them down, even if they where spawned in via script or already ingame. preferably in a loop maybe? so they get updated, i donno every 30 seconds? or more. Im very new and bad at coding, i tried reading up on it. but i failed. i tried google it, but to be real, i dont really know what to look for. Thanks. This is the last part of my mission to get it fully functional. -
It's very sad you simplified the game with marks, but now it can be cunfuse in hard situations and sometimes it hinders... And real gameplay sittuation (2:20):

Kicking opfor from blufor vehicles and vica-versa
KdubyaDOG556 posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hey everyone, I was wondering if someone could help me develop a script that would allow blufor units to only be able to enter Blufor vehicles as well as Opfor only being able to enter Opfor vehicles. I would need an array to be specific to what vehicles I would allow units to enter. I do not want the unit to be killed, just kicked out of the vehicle. Thanks, Kdubyadog556 -
findNearestEnemy : some weird changes since Apex
pierremgi posted a topic in ARMA 3 - TROUBLESHOOTING
Hi, It seems to me, BI changed the behavior of the findNearestenemy command. I use to display this "nearest enemy" (of player) by an icon using this command. What i remarked since Apex or 1.58 (not sure), is that the nearest enemy is no more the nearest one. Explanation: If player knows about ground unit and planes, the "nearest enemy" is quickly marked on plane, even if this asset is flying away more than 2Km and ground units fire at you. Same for tank, armored vehicle, in a lower priority than plane. Same for emptied vehicle. If crew dismount and fly, the "nearest enemy" remains for a while the emptied car, even if dangerous units are closer than it. If you are civilian, "nearest enemy" is an OPFOR, even if it has no intention to open fire at you... So, please, could you make that findNearestEnemy recovers this former behavior and hits the geographically nearest unit/asset able and motivated to kill the unit which is parameterized? I don't dislike the idea to have some classification by asset dangerousness, but this aim fails most of the time with the context (plane flying away, emptied car,..). Just focus on distance and "canfire" could be great. Thanks- 1 reply
