I mostly deal with Arma 3 and show you how to create / enhance your own missions using Arma3's powerful editor. In most of my videos you can find download links to example missions / script as well as mods I have created.

Loved playing this mod. It was years ago I first started, lots of fun was had! Coincidentally, many years later, I ran into the dev on an ARMA server and he instigates team killing, shoots at friendlies, abuses vote kick, changes friendly squads name to random insults, etc. I wroite it off as a new player or one-off, but a quick search of his name reveals a spotted history of this exact behavoir in other games as well. Real bummer to cross paths like that with someone who made something cool and worth while, only to find they are a rotten on the battlefield and at a personal level within ARMA itself.
I may be lucky :D how do I get this script to work on any Ai unit and Ai groups that move into a trigger zone ? this move (selectRandom ((nearestBuilding this) buildingPos -1));
I know this has been a few years since you made this video but I had a question regarding the Condition for taking off once every one is in on extraction. In Singleplayer mode you said ({alive _x;}) count switchableUnits) == ({_x in heli1;} count switchableUnits) but in Multiplayer mode you change that to playableUnits" Does that mean it changes to ({alive _x;}) count playableUnits) == ({_x in heli1;} count playableUnits) or just the first one ({alive _x;}) count playableUnits) == ({_x in heli1;} count switchableUnits)
im sure the video is very good for someone who understands what hes doing with the script, but I cant make heads or tails of what im doing to get the script wrong so non of my actions work in game, please list the script in the show more
One of the worst tuto i've ever watched ! The man go so fast, do and undo things, copy paste tones of codes everywhere, he barely explain shit. Thanksfully there is much more simple scripts gave by other youtuber mamking much more simple Tuto and don't take gamers who just want to make a nice mission for Graduate Developpers
Hey Mate, unsure if you still comment here but do need some help for the insertion. I've used this with multiplayer in mind and it has worked fine until it lands at the LZ. At which point its wheels barely skid the ground then immediately takes off, I tried to delay it in the way point so it didn't move for 10 seconds but that didn't work, do you have any advice? Much appreciated, thanks
Hi! I made the huge mistake of reinstalling Arma 3 and lost this mod in the process. Apparently after Armaholics death there in no download availabe anywhere? Your mod was apparently the only way to get arty function as a battery.
Yeah it's gone! I've not got this version either anymore either, sorry! I may at some future point release a reworked version I was working on, on steam.
Okay! I will be hopefully waiting. The ai artillery really needs to get closer to rl procedures and functioning as a battery would be one step closer to that. Your mod would be a blast eg. with pooks arty pack which has a counter arty radar. Getting a four gun battery to provide counter fire would devastate any enemy.
Sorry no the dropbox file has not been used in so long its been deleted by dropbox and armaholic is gone! I have no either, the best you can do is copy it off the video.
I am using this system (holding the take off with a variable) but I have had to resort to adding the action to the player instead of the helicopter as the way you've described in the video doesn't seem to work in multiplayer (the variable sync does thanks to using the publicVariable instruction, but the action on the helicopter menu does not). So my code is: uh80TakeOffActionId = player addAction ["Take off", uh80TakeOffSignal = true; publicVariable "uh80TakeOffSignal"; }]; Note I am using "player" instead of "this". I am saving the id so that I can remove the action once the helicopter has taken off. Could you please check out whether what you explained in the video works if you launch the mission in multiplayer mode? Thanks for your time and effort.
So just from looking at your code syntax is wrong for addaction it's missing a "{": player addAction ["Take off",{uh80TakeOffSignal = true; publicVariable "uh80TakeOffSignal"; }]; That might be why the code is not running though I'd be surpised if the addactions show up at all with that error. If this does not help send me your missing file I'll take a look over the weekend.
@@somethingsomethinggames9392 Sorry, I may not have expressed myself properly. The code showed is working (albeit I may have made some error when writting it here). But it's only working with "player addAction", not with "uh80 addAction". Nevertheless, I'll doublecheck the code in my mission, just in case :-)
@@somethingsomethinggames9392 Okay, so I found the issue. The code is the same, but I am executing it in the "On activation" field of a trigger, as getting inserted by helicopter is not the very first thing that happens in the mission. To be exact, my code is (in the "On activation" field of the trigger that activates when in proximity of the helicopter): uh80TakeOffActionId = player addAction [ "Take off", { uh80TakeOffSignal = true; publicVariable "uh80TakeOffSignal"; }]; So if I change the "player" into "uh80", which is the variable name of the helicopter, it also works, at least in single player mode. Not sure why it was not working when I last tested, probably my fault. I am now going to try in multiplayer mode when I have the chace and get back to you. Thanks!
Sorry not a project I do stuff for anymore, you'll have to ask on their discord or reddit. The hud replaces the helment with an on/off version of the helmet model so maybe one model is missing or it's be named wrongly for the spartan helmet.
hi my friend ... i change my hard drive and i lost your amazing mod..... and i notice that armaholic site is not working .... please is there a way to send me a copy of the big wilks combat support menu????? PLEASE ...Thanks in advance!!!!!!!
Just looked, apparently Armaholic is dead! Sad times. Erm you proably had one of the last copies of the verison in the video sorry! I started reworking this many years ago to make it easier to use.. and basically deleted alot of the code on my version then stoped. I can give you my latest version all it has though is; helicopter transport, resuply and admin menu. I'll upload it next time im on my computer if you want it.
@@somethingsomethinggames9392 yes please ....where you will upload it???? at work shop???? your mod give totally control of the helicopters ...especially at precision landings... giving to me the oportunity to create an operational carrier with heicopters... its sad that you didnt finish this amazing mod!!! i am waiting for your reply...thanks again!!!!
@@lefteristzanetis8220 drive.google.com/file/d/1QNKkzaD0NZP3DsBWxsSIVpqP6Bp7eKEM/view?usp=sharing There ya go, it's an editor version. Erm setup for transport/resuply is done via the "init" script for each. For example for the helicopter it's the file called: BW_CSM.Stratis\BW_CSM\GUIs\HeloTransport\Functions\fn_heloTransInit.sqf Any questions feel free to ask.
@@lefteristzanetis8220 No, just an editor version exists. Maybe I could do a module version for steam it's not that hard. But I'm very busy right now, it'll have to be later in the year.
No more need for a script guys! You now can literally spawn units in ANY vehicles by dragging them into the vehicle in the Eden editor 3D mode. And they will automatically position themselves inside the vehicle accordingly! Eden editor is truly beast! Love it!
i can now do america siding with russia against something dude u saved my life cus i always wanted to do a kinda thing when russia and murica are allies and they side against isis or some shit thank you
Wanna be more clear with your question? Multiple spawn points as in multiple units spawning at diffrent locations OR multiple posible spawn points for the units your spawning?
Yeah sorry dropbox deletes stuff if its not DL'd for sometime. I've been trying to rember where the EHD I backed this stuff upto is.. can't find it lol.. I'll let ya know if I find it.
Some of it, I made the Buildings, Map, UI, Scripts in this video. All the vehicles, weapons and everything else where made by other people on the optre team. I re did all the buildings abouta year or two ago.
I have died so many times, your jetpack seems to fly very well. It sounds like its toggling off and on to maintain a hover. Mine seems to just stay on/off which makes it very hard to not die from lol Is there anyway i can configure the jetpack to work like yours? Thank you!
mygroup = [getmarkerpos "mygroupstart", EAST, ["O_officer_F"],[],[],[],[],[],180] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup, this code is working but only with one single unit, do you know why? When i put more than one unit, it doesn´t work.
i have to go to another video because this was too choppy and the big mistake at 8:18 with the random added waypoint by the cycle was poorly explained and led to my whole waypoint and activation cycle F up. LITERALLY wasted 3 hrs trying to do tthis on a video and i'm really pissed off. fyi, not everybody is a expert at writing coding, so please break it down better and more simpler or slower for ppl just new to this game. it's not going to be me cause I'm going to another video commentary... CONFUSING AF at midpoint. thx
Broooo! So thats what the invisible helipad is for. Big thanks for that tip!!! I didn't even know that the helo's will try to search for the nearest helipad, with this method like you said you can get pin point accuracy on where you want it to land. Thank you again, this is going to vastly improve my missions.
my heli never leaves in extraction... and this is not first extraction possibility that is not working for me. I guess some of my mods are messing up variables or something.
