ARMA Series (I, II, III) - It's like the 4th of July!

[notgeogzm]

well I had mine set to 8 by mistake and I'm not sure if there was any difference in performance

[NoDachi]

I like how I can run this game equally if not better than ArmA 2 at 1080p ultra.

I'll wait for the big island though.

[Kai-ryuu]

do you have to have a space in between the cpucount and the equals sign? like "-cpucount = 4" or -cpucount= 4"?

-cpucount=4

No spaces.

Looks like they haven't directly addressed the problems with multiplayer, though.

Set your launch properties to "-cpucount=number_of_cores_your_cpu_has".

I'll have another go at scripting sometime soon.

The last time I failed miserably at writing what I wanted to do.

I wanted to have Me and a soldier and two civilians standing around, and have the soldier shoot the other civilian as soon as I shoot the first one.

Could anyone explain how such a script should be done? I'd really appreciate it :)

Also I remember lots of terms I read up but couldn't understand a word.

_whoeverthefuck !isAlive

And then there was some init line that set the relationship between groups, uhnn. Let me see if I can find it.

Basically, make a trigger, make the condition so that it is triggered when the first civilian is killed

_Civ1 !isAlive

, on action it'll make the second one hostile and the AI will kill it

_Civ2 addRating -10000

I wonder if setVelocity works on ragdolls.

[HellSoldier]

_var is the notation for local variables in a single script. var (e.g. civ1 civ2) should be used instead.

I thought it was something exclusive to ArmA 3, but I've not gone too far into scripting besides some simple .sqs stuff way back.

You may want to consider relearning scripting as sqs is basically all but useful now that sqf exists.

Going to add to the OP some people to contact for scripting help.

[Taggart]

I am quite perplexed

my 6 player coop mission is almost ready, tasks are set up, patrols, triggers, and responding units are set, all the shit works

except one thing: the exfiltration task

I've tried syncing it to both the triggers for killing the targets and the task states for the tasks to complete, and in both cases, it is still created on mission start and not after the tasks are completed/targets destroyed (same thing basically)

how I fix this

[QUOTE=Swebonny;39887306]Holy shit that -cpucount= X boosted my FPS from like 20-25 to 60 in MP. Sick.[/QUOTE]

whats the cpucount for a i7 2600k

[MrDemonic]

[QUOTE=Fippe;39886056]yeah, exactly what I was talking about way too much ground friction
also, it seems to treat Ka60 as if it had skids instead of wheels[/QUOTE]

It would be cool if ARMA could determine what type of landing gear you had and what terrain you were landing on. Allowing a bit of "skidding" or rolling.

Example;

Skids doing a speedy landing on grass, dirt and so on = You can slide for a bit without flipping forward

Wheeled landing gear doing a speedy landing on grass, dirt and so on = Maybe not as far as skids.

Skids doing a speedy landing on concrete or other "hard" surfaces = You barely slide or you flip depending on the speed.

Wheeled landing gear doing a speedy landing concrete or other "hard" surfaces = You can roll for ages.

4, try it.

[Makol]

[QUOTE=Biscuit-Boy;39887219]It's missing parts, pieces are incorrectly scaled, lacks detail both in model and in texture (specifically lack of apparent depth). Basically it lacks the polish and finesse of the professionally produced Arma 3 models and textures, which I realize it shouldn't need to live up to.[/QUOTE]
If you followed the link the guy said they're a work in progress.

I was fairly close then, that's a motivator.

I've been doing stuff in Expression 2 lately as some sort of practice so later I can more easily acquaint myself with something like lua and then move on to other high level languages, but E2 doesn't really even come close to even resembling a real language and I've been slacking off.

It'd be better to learn using mission scripts, right?

name your civs and the other guy
drop a trigger, condition:

!alive civ1

on act:

yourGuy doTarget civ2; yourGuy doFire civ2;

addRating will also work, it basically switches the civs side to "ENEMY"
Remember this when killing civilians. As it'll sometimes cause your friendlies to shoot you (AI) or make them unable to enter your vehicle (players)

I hope BI has this in mind. They seen to be taking helis seriously, what with including the TKOH flight model and all. It would only make sense.
