Welcome, Happy New Year!

[@Taxpayer_416]

This should be cool to try out. Thanks for all the videos and Happy New Year!

[@Gunter_Severloh]

Ya man, its a different idea on the premise of a crash, lots of things you can do with it, Happy New Year!

i know its not related to the video but do you have any idea on how to make AI "remember" waypoints since i have this Helicopter that almost always gets shot down but theres a vehicle respawn point with "createVehicleCrew (_this select 0);" in it and the AI is always someone else and dont know the original waypoints any tips and help would be appreciated

[@Gunter_Severloh]

You can use the code from this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3rZmHmOpJWdldk create your own script like i did there, group can be the heli's name, then give it waypoints, spawn the heli and he'll follow the waypoints in the script you set, waypoints will be actual markers instead of waypoints, they'll work regardless. Another option is to use my HAS script or module depending on what your trying to accomplish.

[@deqnq1705]

Where can i obtain this module because i dont know if the script will work since i have never seen it try and spawn vehicles or AI which are ordered to enter vehicles then do CAS, Land and take off again @@Gunter_Severloh i also forgot to mention that my scenario is supposed to be a endless AI war which is why they respawn

[@Gunter_Severloh]

@@deqnq1705 This is HAS aka Hermes Airlift Services but this is for the player to call a heli for cas, supply drop, to pick you up, drop you off and other things related steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1610601744 If your mission is for the AI heli to spawn then HAS isn't going to work as its designed for the player to call Ai. The script in the video is the best bet, as you can set an area trigger for them to spawn, if not then ask on BI forums in the mission editing and scripting section maybe someone there can better help you with what your looking to do.

[@deqnq1705]

i will try it, sounds like it might work and is better than having clueless AI idle at helipad spawn @@Gunter_Severloh

If i want those miniComposition (or at least one item)face a direcction(vector,azimuth), work some of this commands?: _vecDir = vectorDir itemReference; itemToFace = vectorDir itemReference;

[@Gunter_Severloh]

All i did was face the heli and units in the direction they would be moved too, you shouldn't need any command to make them face a certain way. Unless im misunderstanding your question.

@@Gunter_Severloh Imagine that you have a gate that must be placed at a random entrance and at each one must fit to make sense.

[@Gunter_Severloh]

@@dlg2515 What are you trying to do exactly because other then what i showed in the video, i've never done anything else to make something randomly to be placed a certain way so not much i can help you with in terms of configuration of which direction, or angle something should be sitting at based on what you want to have. All my videos are what i have done in the game over the years and know how to do, anything beyond that depends, so i'm still not entirely clear as to what your trying to have done, so just tell me what are you trying to do in your mission otherwise cant really help you.

[@dlg2515]

@@Gunter_Severloh Ok, take care man.

[@Gunter_Severloh]

@@dlg2515 You should ask on BI forums in the mission editing and scripting section, pierremgi or some others may know how to help you with what your trying to do. forums.bohemia.net/forums/forum/154-arma-3-mission-editing-scripting/

HELLO FRIEND, I'M A FAN OF YOUR WORK WITH ARMA3 EDITOR AND I USE YOUR Script TIPS A LOT... I WOULD LIKE ONE DAY IF YOU COULD MAKE A VIDEO ON HOW TO SAVE MISSION PROGRESSION, THAT IS, SAVE IT SO YOU DON'T LOSE ANYTHING THAT WAS DONE IF THE SERVER NEEDS TO RESTART THANKS IF HELPED...

[@Gunter_Severloh]

Hey man thanks! Saving mission progression is a tricky subject, theres alot of variables that go into making it work, for a server you would want a database, another option is to set the server for persistence in the server.cfg this will keep the server on the same mission til you shut down the server or restart it. Outside of that idk anything about how to save mission progression itself, i have videos on saving your loadout ect,. but for a mission itself like tasks completed and not completed, remaining enemies, ect,. that would take some time to research, get working, test, and then if i knew how to do it then present in a way that is simple so you could easily understand it and apply it yourself. Its an interesting subject no doubt but again i've never in all my years in arma been in a mission where i had used it in my own, or was in a mission that used it, maybe i have but dont recall maybe Liberation or Domination had it but nothing i created myself so idk. Not something i can just conjure up and make a video on, for me i have to plan and prepare for such subjects as i watch my own videos and also use them as a reference for my own missions and to help others. I'll add it to my list of subjects and look into it, and if i find information on an efficient way to do it, i probably wont be able to demonstrate it, maybe through mp lan, but if i get it figured out and working then i'll do a video, so thanks for the idea. Why the caps?

[@AvidExpert]
