Hello, in one of my missions I use kk's script for having the camera view of the drone on a screen, but I have a little problem. I want the see the drone UI in the screen, I know is not the same camera that the one from the drone, but is this possible? Script used: http://killzonekid.com/arma-scripting-tutorials-uav-r2t-and-pip/ Thanks a lot, Cheers.

I finished my design with the controlgroups. But now i have a new problem and i dont get it fixed. I have 3 buttons (RscButton) that represent a menu. When i click on the button, a controlgroup appears. Thats working fine. My problem is that the active button blinks from black to white. So i set period = 0. Thats also working but now my button has no "active color". I just want that the selected button has white as background and black as textcolor. The otherones have white as textcolor and black as background. Thats basicly all i want but i dont get this working. And the color shouldnt change as long as i press a nonmenu button. When i click on an other menubutton then the background gets black again and text white.

In first: Settings - Controls - Interface Layout We have several tools for aircraft... false-Horizon, altimeter, speedometer... If altimeter and speedometer we can see at vehicle-health panel, the horizon we wont. But i still need to control on both dificulty level by pilot tools as mount in the helicopter (like a Littlebird or Kaiman). On Kayman without RMB zoom i dont see false-Horizon att all - all number is white rectangulars. === In second: We use ALT key for toogle freelook and double ALT for switch freelook. In switched freelook pressing alt by some reason backs the camera at middle. It makes some problems when driving Helicopter. I think IN FREELOOK MODE key ALT must GIVE CONTROLS AND HOLD CAMERA IN CURRENT POSITION without backing it to center. That allows use freelook for correct heli landing position when sitting down and correct it with mouse when holding ALT key in freelook mode. Sorry, i want to see bottom and use mouse to land helicopter. === In third: We have option "vehicle freelook" that not correctly working with freelook key. When vehicle freelook is activated - we cannot use both key for again use mouse to control helicopter - it used for freelook only even if key ALT is pressed. I think it's a bug. === In fourth: Key V is using for stepping over obstacle. Do BIS can add the check for that function - is obstacle here? That dancing when you accidentally press V making both actions inactive for 2 seconds, means a lot of time in PVP. That function allows sometimes stepping through walls, through high fence, or come into texture. Need a check like function "Stand weapon" - key wont work if we havent nearby wall or flat surface. Still here - if we not have small fence - function is inactive. === Fiveth: Swim keys we can remove from game. Use camera an classic W-S-A-D. I think need to add swim-control with depending from carrying weight. So slow swim speed for both missions even if haven't inventory at all. Very slow. Water missions is always bored for make it in future.

Hi all, i try to work on some Dialogs for my new Multiplayer Mission. I watched a tutorial Video and just did the same as the guy in the video.

if(!_handle) then {hint "Dialog couldnt be found!"}; So i tried to execute the bluforVehicsOpenDialog.sqf by a trigger and by an addActionCommand on some environment, and it seems to work with both options. I dont get the hint that the dialog couldnt be found and in the game, the Cursor is shown like in the gui in the tutorial, but i cannot see the GUI Elements. So can someone help me, i looked over the whole script and googled it up but i cant find anything what has gone wrong. Also i compared everything to what the guy did in the youtube video and i cant find anything wrong... Here is the youtube Video: Hope that someone can help me. KingEldarion

I have a good idea for what I want to achieve with an Arma 3 mod, but I have only just started trying to figure out how to achieve it. What I want is to alter the control scheme for ease of use and to be more familiar to FPS players. BIS's controls leave a lot of room for improvement, here's how I would do it: Interact/Use [MB3]: Context sensitive. Interacts with a world object. Will open standard style menu if multiple options exist (example: choose which vehicle seat to enter). -The goal here is to reduce the number of actions tied to this one control. Only the context sensitive ones remain. 1 [1] : If in menu, selects option 1. Else, equip primary weapon. 2 [2] : If in menu, selects option 2. Else, equip secondary weapon. 3 [3] : If in menu, selects option 3. Else, equip launcher. 4 [4] : If in menu, selects option 4. Else, change grenade 5 [5] : If in menu, selects option 5. Else, opens explosive menu (scroll to choose which to drop or to touch off bombs) -Here we have a standard FPS style weapon choice setup while retaining the ability to navigate Arma menus. Explosive options safely removed from main Arma 3 menu key. Zoom In/Menu Up [MWheelUp] : If in menu, navigates up. Else, increases zoom level if the option exists. Zoom Out/Menu Down [MWheelDown] : If in menu, navigates down. Else, decreases zoom level if the option exists. -No longer need separate control to adjust zoom levels in vehicles and scopes. Mouse wheel for this is very intuitive. Will also switch between reflex sights and scope if that type of sight is equipped. CTRL + MWheelUp or MWheelDown will adjust zeroing if applicable. Up [space] : If prone, move to crouch stance. If crouched, move to standing stance. If standing, then execute step over action. -Replicates the function of the typical FPS jump key. Does this all look possible to do? Any suggestions on what files I will need to edit for this or links to relevant tutorials would be appreciated.
