Im working on a mission using Ryans Zombies & Demons, and im sure you can guess what type of mission it is lol Im using the Proving Grounds map from CUP Terrains 1.3 and am spawning in 6 playable units at different locations on the map and ungrouped (well, not it a squad). What i am trying to accomplish is: When players get to below 10 meters from another player = Check is both are in a squad, if not create one and place both units in, or if one is a member of a squad then place the other unit into his squad. Sounds crazy when i type it out but hopefully you get my meaning... Im just unsure how to go about this... forEach / distance / join / createGroup / etc etc.... Any info regarding this would be greatly appreciated and placed into my pastebin once completed :) Kind regards Rory

I suspect perhaps it may be due to network configuration, but I cannot be certain. Steps to this point, server configuration, using FASTER, my command line: -port=2302 "-config=C:\Users\myuser\Documents\Arma 3 Server\Servers\_8fb3a5354b93452e92cfcbf8ada25c2c\server_config.cfg" "-cfg=C:\Users\myuser\Documents\Arma 3 Server\Servers\_8fb3a5354b93452e92cfcbf8ada25c2c\server_basic.cfg" "-profiles=C:\Users\myuser\Documents\Arma 3 Server\Servers\_2d07a1c66cd445a79fb23f407280177f" -name=_2d07a1c66cd445a79fb23f407280177f "-mod=@HMCS_Addon;@CBA_A3;@ace;@RHSAFRF;@RHSUSAF;@RHSGREF;@RHSSAF;@3CB_Factions;@ACE_Compat__RHS_AFRF;@ACE_Compat__RHS_USAF;@ACE_Compat__RHS_GREF;@ACE_Compat__RHS_SAF;@ACE_Pharmacy;@CUP_Terrains__Core;@CUP_Terrains__Maps;@G_O_S_Al_Rayak;@Isla_Duala;@FIR_AWS_AirWeaponSystem_;@FIREWILL_Aviation_Pack_Complete_;@Project__Future_Vertical_Lift;@Project_Lightning__F_35B_Armaverse_Version;@Project__FVL_Ace3_Compatibility;@Zeus_Enhanced;@Zeus_Enhanced__ACE3_Compatibility;@ACRE2;" "-serverMod=@Advanced_Towing;@Advanced_Sling_Loading;@Advanced_Urban_Rappelling;" -enableHT -netlog -cpuCount=2 If I can find the options, I will attach client and server logs. After couple of rounds travailing with FASTER to hon the config, I was finally able to start the server itself. Server itself seems to start okay, console seems good, logs do not indicate any errors. I was even able to offer couple of headless client connections; neither here nor there for purposes of this post however. I can discover the server, in either LAN, or in the INTERNET choices, although I have to filter localhost, which tells me that perhaps network configuration, routers and such, need to be dialed in. Do not see my server in any keyword or other filtering criteria searches otherwise. Client gets immediately rejected upon attempting to JOIN, indicating the first mod in the server mods, with errors such as: 13:12:07 Data required by server could not be found: UK3CB_Factions\addons\UK3CB_Factions_AAF\ I am running behind two routers. ISP -> ASUS RT-AC86U (A) -> ASUS RT-AC66U (B) -> workstation (server box) (C) I have UDP port range 2302:2306 port forwarding through both routers, A -> B, and B -> C. Edit: oh, yes, the FASTER server is starting with UPNP enabled, not exactly certain that matters with port forwarding in the picture, but did that anyway. I can say from at least a similar TeamSpeak configuration, that this networking configuration does "work", I connect through the B WAN IP, this seems to work fine. As you can see from the command like, perhaps I am bumping up against some mod count issues, not sure there is anything specific in the configuration that I can do to accommodate a higher number of mods. As an aside, it is also curious that the LAN enumerates something like 8-9 different instances. One theory is that these are one per NIC that are available on my machine, from WiFi (disabled) to hardwired, 1/4 currently in use, to couple of virtual ones for VMs, etc. I am also considering that perhaps two or three of the mods could be dropped, as interesting thought experiments, if it were possible. Assuming it is a constraint on number of mods. I can hop on the ARMA discord real quick if anyone is available and could review a screen share with me to further adjust the configuration. Maybe it is the mods, dunno, *shrug*. Not really sure what to look into next. Cheers, best regards, and thanks so much... Michael

cool little script to make ai units join you in-game: Place your player on the map Place as many AI units you desire Name each the AI unit a specific Variable Name. Example: AIsoldier_1, AIsoldier_2, AIsoldier_3, etc. The Variable Name should be unique and placed in each ai attribute (under Variable Name) Place a no space trigger under "Trigger: Expression" Condition: player distance AIsoldier_1 <2 On Activation: [AIsoldier_1] join player; You will have to walk up to the ai unit (within 2 meters according to this script) to have it join your squad.

Bought on steam a few days back, says its linked to steam as I logged in with my steam account. Every unit I try to join times out with an eventual an error occurred. Searching I see the same thing posted multiple times by multiple people with zero official fix or unofficial for that matter. Anyone got a clue?

Just today me and another two friends were trying to play the Apex campaing, I hosted the server and checked the UPnP box, and we could play normally, we completed the first mission no problems. After a while Steam servers went into maintenance (you know, Tuesday's maintenance), so they lost connection. I hosted the game again and one of my friends was able to join, but the other one wasn't, it's just him. When he joins, there are messages saying "connecting", then "connected" and finally it disconnects with no error. We tried restarting Steam, our PCs, changing profiles, joining while playing the mission, we also tried other game modes. I tried port forwarding and opened the following ports: 2302 2303 2304 2305 27000 27050 3478 4379 4380 2344 2345 8766 Found all of those around internet, some are from steam and others from battleye, all of them were correctly opened and I checked it using a software, also my friends can now join without using UPnP so it clearly works. I also made a ping to his IP and the packets are successfully received. After all of this, he still can't join. Have any ideas? I really want to play the campaing and other modes co-op. Note: I don't have any mods loaded, neither does him

Hello. Fairly new to Arma. Looking for a serious server, like a Milsim server or group to join. Would like to learn the game more and get involved. (Uk timezone.) Cheers Tom

Hello I have tried yo host a game of COMBAT PATROL but my friends can't see the game even on direct connexion. can you help me please

Hello, I'm looking to create an addaction on the players of dedicated servers which will allow them to join any AI's group that is within a certain radius of the player, lets say 50 meters. I've tried with a big mess of attaching triggers to the player units with the addaction activating a script of "[player] join {_x} foreach thislist". I thought that should work from what I've ready but no luck. I may be totally lost with this and any help is much appreciated :-)

A friend of mine, that usually host Arma III on his own private server, LAN parties recently joined Argo. We do enjoy the game, but not so much the toxicity in the public servers. So he decided to change his Arma III to Argo LAN private server. All the other guest were able to join no issues at all, but me. Most of the time I get a message about waiting for the host to select mission, even if other players are already in. Server host and other players can see my name loggin in and inmedatly loggin out. Would really appreciate any guidance how to solve this.

I'm preparing to create a mission with multiple objectives including a recruit/rescue portion, and I was simply going to port over a pow rescue script that I originally used in an A2 mission I had previously created however it no longer works. I have looked, however to no avail to find a set of scripts which will meet some of the criteria necessary to work with the mission I'm creating. Some of the criteria I would like to meet for using a given script include - Remove recruit/rescue addaction on creation (surprisingly none of the methods I've encountered I've found do this) - Script activated enableai "move" command from any location in the mission area for the subject once they are recruited (subject has a random chance to spawn in multiple locations) - AI must behave no differently than another squad member once inducted, also targetable by opfor ai This aspect of the mission entails investigating various suspected locations of the individual requiring rescue, with each location having its marker removed upon investigation (this part already works). I'm going to keep fiddling around and try to make it work, but if anyone has any tips or insight, I'd be appreciative of the help.

Why is there two bars in the loading screen in Arma 3 (one small and one long). Is one loading the world and the other the scenario files ? And why does they each have to fill twice ?
