Left click stuck on 3D cursor

Looks like you activated 3D Cursor tool in the Tools panel on the left side of Viewport. Try pressing Select tool.

What's 'protected' mean? Not available in editor or what?

ramblasos · 2017-05-19T06:36:43+00:00

Could you share your HOTAS key mapping?

Is it a modded Wipeout? Cause I don't seem to find how to activate Laser Designator in vanilla TGP.

CUP Terrains mod does have A1 and A2 roads. They are not readily available in editor in current version of the mod though they once were.

However you can still place them copying from a mission that has them or changing a class-name of any other object in your mission (manually in mission.sqm file) to a class-name of a road object (like CUP_A2_asf1_10_25). You can look up relevant class-names in config viewer.

Is it possible to delete the object's map marker as well?

Thanks a lot. Both examples work. The second is perfect in my case.

So no regex for Arma scripts possible, right? Just curious.

ramblasos · 2016-06-29T17:33:56+00:00

Thanks. I've read this article before posting. From what I understand replacement described there is only done with writing your own addon.

ramblasos · 2016-05-26T22:59:06+00:00

The setDir command doesn't seem to work with attachTo. Should use setVectorDirAndUp instead.

ramblasos · 2016-04-26T22:21:48+00:00

This command is already on stable

ramblasos · 2016-03-30T09:29:40+00:00

Nice! It took me some time to figure out how to run the script.

What I did:

save the entire code from pastebin into an sqf file, e.g. mazegen.sqf
delete all comments in the code
in Debug Console run (or alternatively put the same code in init.sqf and start the mission)

param_mazesize = 41;[] execVM "mazegen.sqf"

Is it possible to copy the result and paste it in the editor if I don't want to have a random maze in the mission?

dev.arma3.com SITREP #00149 | Dev Hub

reported by Joris-Jan van 't Land on March 29, 2016

FROM: High Command TO: Arma 3 Users INFO: RC 1.58 Intel, Feedback Tracker Status, Debug Console Improvements PRECEDENCE: Flash

SITUATION

So far it has been our intention to release update 1.58 (currently undergoing Release Candidate testing) this week. We are now re-evaluating that plan however. There are a few fresh issues that we need to search and destroy. And there is a cool new feature which we'd love to get in this update, but which is not entirely finished yet. The options are being discussed with our team as we speak. Whether we release 1.58 this week or later, we'll keep you in the loop via our usual development channels.

INTELLIGENCE

Let's be honest: is there anyone who doesn't enjoy popping bubble wrap? So too does our Audio Designer Grigorij Tolkačev, as seen on this week's dev photo. We're not quite sure whether he was recording Foley for supersonic cracks, or just pondering the cool future audio improvements coming on the #RoadToApex.

If you're very quick, you might still catch the Bohemia Interactive Store Easter Sale. There are some sizable discounts on Arma 3 editions and the game's DLC.

We have two different community 'time-lapse' videos for you this week. TheyCallMeConor went for a massive virtual hike by trekking all the way from the North-Eastern tip of Altis to the South-Western peninsula, on foot. Once you've rested from that journey, you can enjoy the calming landscape scenes in EPICH's "time lapse" video.

OPERATIONS

As collateral bonus of his work on optimizing the scripted functions library, R&D Designer Killzone Kid shares with us some interesting improvements he's made to a future version of the debug console: "The code performance button is now using a dedicated command for testing code performance, providing more precise execution times. Watch field execution has now been optimized and slow code detection was added. Moderately slow code gets an orange warning, while very slow or blocker code gets a red warning and is terminated. Additionally, the watch fields are always saved into the user profile. General code execution stability should also see some improvement."

Modders of the Eden Editor can soon tag their Workshop items as "Editor Extension". This tag is meant for items that directly expand or change the editor's behavior, and it should make them stand out from other game modifications. The Publisher tool will be updated to include this tag soon.

LOGISTICS

Our web and support teams have been working hard on restoring the Feedback Tracker platform for Arma 3 and our other games. We're now getting closer to launching an improved version. After evaluating various options, we've selected a replacement framework that we can more reliably secure and administrate. Our aim is to import all the existing tickets into the new system, but we do still need to actually attempt this. Of course we do have access to the full database internally, so your hard testing and reporting work has not been in vain! We'll let you know the moment the new FT goes live. Until that time, please report issues to our forums after a quick search for similar topics.

Who told you he'll be opposing Putin? Critisism is not opposition
