Arma 3 Editing | Basic Mission Tasks & Triggers 

Glad you found it useful. If there are any specific things you want to know how to do, please just let me know and I'll do my best.

​​@@OnlineCombatBN do u know the command for a hostage ur trying save rather than the !alive command to kill them. Also very good video also most in depth tutorial I found so far for this game

Cheers mate. Glad it helped.

@@OnlineCombatBN Agreed, this helped SO MUCH. Thanks!! Could you do another one with more complex tasks in the future perhaps?

Yep I will do another shortly with more detailed stuff. What sort of tasks would you like to have a tutorial for?

Bill is a civilian, he won't shoot back. If you want Bill to shoot back, place him as OPFOR. I promise you he'll shoot back.

@@OnlineCombatBN hahaahhahaha

You're welcome

I'll get right onto that for you.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Fp1P_-hVCZQ.html Sorry for the delay. Here is the video on using radio triggers.

Yep, that's easy. In your trigger in the "Condition" section, you can have more than one variable (object name) to check on whether it's !alive or not. Example. You want a task to finish when you destroy two trucks. Name them truck1 and truck2. In Condition in the trigger put: !alive truck1 && !alive truck2; Now the task will not complete until truck1 and truck2 are destroyed. I hope that helps.

The triggers and task and state modules are required for each task. It is essentially how the workflow goes for making a mission with tasks. There are other ways to do it which are a little more complicated but in this video I wanted to keep it simple. The placement of the triggers is important if you are using them has activation triggers because they need to be placed where your players are going to move. The other triggers that are linked to the set task state modules don't have to be in any particular place. I have laid out the tasks and triggers in this video in a particular way to make it simple for people to understand. If you pay attention to the video and understand how the triggers work with the tasks you will understand that those triggers are required for the task to be a signed and completed. I didn't use more triggers than I needed to. The create task modules need to be placed where you want a marker for that task to appear visible for your players. You can of course choose to hide the markers for the tasks in the attributes of the task create module. But that will not allow your players to see whether task is. So if you want your players to be able to see where the task is with a marker to show them where they need to go to completed you need to place the create task module on the location they need to go to complete the tasks. I don't see why that's difficult to understand.

Yeah the editor is pretty good. You'll become addicted to mission making though, we warned!

You're welcome!

Is this what you mean? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f0KD2krn7O4.html

Sure, I'll whip up a quick video in a few days to show you how to do that. 😀

@@OnlineCombatBN Hey sounds great dude, Thanks!

Here ya go mate. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yrF2mWSD1Gg.html

Sure is, but before I show you how, is the chopper something that flies to you, as in scripted to do so or a static chopper already placed? The reason I ask if that there are different ways of achieving that based on what type of chopper use/placement you are using.

@Robert Donohue - over the next week I'll do a quick video to show you how it's done.

I'll do a video on how to do that shortly.

Thanks for the comments. There is scripting information on the Bohemia interactive site, but its not all that easy to follow and quite often doesn't have great examples. As for your question about buildings, yes you can. I did that one one of my other videos.

That's an easy one. I'll add it to the list of tutorials I need to get done.

I'll get into that soon.

I guess you're talking about a single player mission? I've never played any campaign missions in Arma.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f0KD2krn7O4.html

Yes you can use this for single player. And this is not zeus stuff, I don't do zeus missions.

Obviously it would take some trial and error but it would be possible?

Yep that can do done. I'll do a tutorial on it soon.

Are you using Achilles Mod or Zeus Enhanced? If not, you should. They will fix that issue.

i am using zeus enhanced, the custom objective will appear as a task but not as a waypoint or marker in the map for them to see where the obj is.

It should. Use Achilles mod and try that.

Yes I still respond. Ill do a quick tutorial for you on ending a mission when a group of vehicles is destroyed.

@@OnlineCombatBN Oh thank you very much then!

@Snepai ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QhIZ6tdaTr8.html - Hope that helps.

Yep, that's easy. I'll do a quick video soon to show you how. 😁
