Arma 3 FSM introduction

[@TowelGamingHammer]

To any watching this video in the future, do not bother with the _tut folder step. Instead, save the mission when you open the editor, navigate to the mission folder that holds the sqm (Documents/Arma 3 or Arma 3 - Other Profiles depending, keep navigating until you get to the mission folder), plop the fsm in there, and then run it by the console without the _tut\ part. Something seems to have changed with where ARMA 3 looks for scripts. Great tutorial, I really hope you go back to these at some point, ARMA is a very unorthodox game to mod and these tutorials help a lot. EDIT: There's more issues with the tutorial with the current version of ARMA, for example don't use diag_tickTime since it ticks the amount of time since you LAUNCHED Arma 3. Use 'time' instead without quotes since that measures time since mission was started. Also don't use code blocks for the delay, use parenthesis, otherwise the condition won't evaluate.

Thanks for your feedback, Hammer. This video was not meant to be serious. I only uploaded it because literary nobody else had done it on entire youtube at a time, hoping someone else picks up from here and makes proper guide series.

Just wanted to start learning how to script with the fsm editor and it seems you read my mind. You just uploaded this video 4 days before I started searching haha.

Can't use FSM. The Arma says it couldn't find FSM script

Did you set the correct compile config? FsmAttributes -> Compile Config -> Path to correct cfg file.

9:10 FSMs have been around a long time; not wrong about that, REALLY clunky editor, but hey...
