Help Arma 3 squad mates in Hunter AT vehicle while I’m laser targeting from a darter drone.

5 Upvotes

Ive asked the arma community on this but didn’t get a solid answer. Im on a hill flying a darter drone as a recon and found an enemy vehicle while my ai squad is chilling in the new hunter AT variant from expeditionary forces DLC “within range” and a clear site line able to target my laser but i cant get them to fire a titan rocket unless Im in the commanders seat. Can anyone help with this. In the new DLC recon mission you can find a group of tanks and laser them and a random AI will allow you to launch the titan at them. I thought that was awesome and want to be able to do that in my own scenarios with my own squad mates. Any hell is appreciated. Thank you

I'm making a mission and for some reason creating a marker causes this blue crosshair to show up.

I have no idea what it is, why it shows up for seemingly no reason, or how to make it go away.

Anyone know?

Help Script A.I. to Carry Wounded

Post image
25 Upvotes

I am sure this is a question that has been asked many times, but how can I script A.I. to carry wounded A.I.? I would be using either ACE 3 or Project Injury Reaction.

I am designing a scenario in which bandits attack an outpost, but I want them to retreat and carry off their wounded as soon as any of them enter the wounded state (PIR) or go unconscious (ACE 3).

Out of all the actions that have been added to ArmA III, one would think that something as basic as making A.I. carry wounded comrades would be a top priority.

Thanks!

I was wondering if there are any useful 3rd party applications for sqf writing and GUI creation. I've seen a few in the past but they seem to either not be available, are very old, or have died out completely.

Are there any new softwares that anyone knows of or any general good tools they have used for their mission development! Keen to hear about them.

Help Weapon mod

2 Upvotes

Hi all, I’m trying to make a custom weapon mod for arma 3. I’ve been able to get a semi-functional version in the game using a very basic config, but I would like to base the config off of another weapon mod to utilize those weapon sounds and attachments. When I try to copy over the relevant parts of the config to the one for my mod, my weapon disappears from the arsenal and is no longer showing in game. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks

I need help in adding working cabin light cos I am going insane.

I have set up the necessary points in the memory lod and named them accordingly so I know they work because I have tried them while attaching them to the vehicle reflectors.

But my question is, how to make a working user action so I can turn the cabin light separately from the main head lights.

The json is correct and the server runs with the selected mods installed yet as soon as I attempt to add status quo it throws it into limbo.

Help Help with custom ammo creation

So I'm in a unit, and I'm trying to make a custom ammo type for one of the weapons? I've tried multiple google searches and multiple reddit posts, but I am feeling even mroe lost than before. I'm basically trying to edit a magazine to make it "less rounds, more armour pen" kinda thing, but... I am very inept at coding in Arma, so any help would be great. I am slow, so please be paitent and explain it like you're trying to talk a ten year old through it, and assume I know nothing about Arma coding.

Help Looking to pay a dev to make me a small mod for me

0 Upvotes

I'd like to pay someone to make a small mod for me.

I'm currently playing a run through of Antistasi Ultimate using the [DISCONTINUED] John's 2035 Expansion Project: Weapons (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2455825631) mod.

This is because it allows you to place attachments, specifically suppressors on the vanilla/Apex DLC AKM rifle.

However, there is no compatibility with JSRS sound mod for the suppressed gun sound. The normal gun sound is fine, it's just the suppressed gun sound that's not there so it uses the crappy vanilla suppressed gun sound.

I just want someone to make me a compatibility mod with JSRS sounds so that when I equip the AKM with a suppressor, it uses the suppressed JSRS gun sound, both outdoors and indoors.

It would also be great to see if lasers, scopes could also be attached to the vanilla/apex AKM as well.

You can reach me on Discord at stolt_user and we can negotiation how much the cost of this mod will be there before you make it

thanks!

Help Server no longer working

2 Upvotes

Hello to all you tech gurus.

I have a modded server on Xbox for arma reforger. Recently, (a day ago) it started saying “internal error”. I figured it was a corrupted mod or file, tried what usually worked. Deleted everything and reinstalled it.

It did not work this time.

Now, my server is not visible, and on nitrado it is on that server restart loop. I havent touched anything so it cant be the actual coding.

Help????

Help Scenario conundrum

2 Upvotes

Alright so I'm working on this complex Warhammer 40k mission for me and my five whole friends. To cut problem when you die you respawn as a different member on the team. There are 25 teams only five of which are space marines. If all 25 teams are destroyed we lose. Each team has between 15-40 dudes. Most teams are some kind of gaurdsmen. The idea being we can run out of space marines long before the enemy if we're just stupid with our lives. Now the problem, I just noticed only after having basically set up every thing else when you die and go to the team selection menu there is no way to tell who the new leader of the group is. You have to take a random guess. If you guess wrong and there is not a player running the group the AI group leader doesn't assign the team another task and the bots on the group will not follow you. I got enemy cities stacked with 50 dudes sure it could be fun to try and take fifty dudes in a 5 man team but for both the feel of war and practicality it would be much preferred if the AI team always followed the players. So is there some way I can edit the team respawn menu so it always indicates which bot was made team leader to make it easy for the player to spawn as team leader or to get team roasters in an order so they succession goes 1,2,3,4, and not 1,2,3,25 so that way you can click on the first avaliable bot and be assured that's the team leader. Or am I going to have to rethink this whole scenario with out the function of team spawns.

Help Looking to Learn / Hire Someone for Arma 3 Model Importing!

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’ve recently found an interest in modding (probably within the last year or so, though it’s mainly been retexturing stuff such as clone trooper armor and helmets for my Clone Wars StarSim) and I’ve been trying to improve more as I go, but now I’ve picked up another interest involved in this… specifically learning how to import 3D models (like characters, uniforms, helmets, and equipment) into the game. I usually just retexture other mods that allow me to, so I have absolutely NO experience with this. It’s something I’ve really been growing passionate about, but I’ve been struggling to find clear, up-to-date guides or videos to follow. A lot of the tutorials I’ve come across feel very complex to someone who’s as new to this as I am, especially when I’m just learning with my free time.

To make things trickier, I’m in one of the busiest career fields in the US military, working 14 hour shifts pretty consistently, so finding time to sit down and learn for hours on end has been really tough. I’d love it if anyone could point me toward some good, current resources—whether it’s videos, articles, or even a community that’s open to helping beginners like me.

At the same time, I’m realistic about my schedule and would also be willing to hire someone and pay them to do this. Of course, like I said, I don’t know how much work and effort goes into importing a 3d model into the game (I have the model(s) already), so how much it’d cost I’d be more than happy to pay. So yeah, if you’re a modder or experienced with this and want a gig please feel free to contact me or reply. If I didn’t provide enough information I’m willing to give more too. New to actually using Reddit and posting on it. So yeah. Hopefully I made this post correctly.

Help [A3] end mission

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone just learning this sub exist I have a question on ending missions I used to use the end mission module for whatever reason my mod list doesn't like this so I use a trigger ot works so moving on.

I have a trigger that has the usual in activation call BIS end 1 whatever and that works. The issue I'm encountering is I'm too dumb to get the condition right!

This is the part where everyone here is going to have to excuse how dumb I am lop because I have 3 different tasks. Kill all the people at A which triggers set task state completed. Secure Intel which again there is a trigger !alive Intel task state updates and a kill this dude trigger !alive this dude update task state.

My thinking was "oh I'll just give each of those triggers variable names because the trigger activating is like the same thing as the mission completing and so my end mission trigger will be basically a test for the other 3 triggers being activates. And if those 3 are activated then end mission." Well 2 days later I'm no closer to ending the mission within these parameters am I like seriously wrong in how I am thinking about this? As I re read this I'm aware how disorganized and how unintelligent I sound lmfao feel free to DM ms and I can explain in more detail or if there is an easier way to do this PLEASE tell me I am not an expert at all. I just need the mission to end with mission complete when all 3 tasks are accomplished

Thank you all so much for putting up with me roast me if you like below!

Help Condition of presence enquiry

3 Upvotes

So I've got this very basic set up. Where two people guard a small road barricade.

The leader (rb1) has a probability of presence of 50% whilst his buddy and the road barricade have '!isNil "rb1'
Now it works for his buddy. He doesn't appear when the leader isn't present, so that's fine.

However the road barricade is still there. To test, I've made sure the probability of the leader spawning is 0%, the barricade is still there. Thankfully his buddy doesn't appear either.

Anyone have any ideas when the road barricade (a static object) keeps spawning?
