Continuing exploring trigger functionality and there is some good news. You can now create local instance of a trigger using optional 3rd param – true or nothing will create global trigger as before, false will make trigger exist only on PC it is created, which is pretty useful in multiplayer in particular.
In case of problems, please check the Bohemia Interactive support F.A.Q., Arma 3 F.A.Q. Or BattlEye F.A.Q. You can help us to further improve the game by posting your feedback on the Feedback Tracker. DATA: Fixed: The 'Hbarrier5F' barrier was missing a texture in one of its LODs. This is the first of a series of short videos detailing various trigger conditions/activation that come in handy when working in the Arma 3 mission editor.
(Use Ctrl + F to search for keywords)
Use speed as a condition
To use the speed of a unit as a condition, use this code in the ‘Condition’ field of a trigger: speed car1 > 55; You could add a hint on activation to read “You are speeding!”
Hold at waypoint until trigger is activated
To make a unit or group hold at a waypoint, click ‘Synchronize’ and drag from the unit’s waypoint to the trigger.
This group activates trigger
To make a specific group be the one to activate a trigger, click ‘Groups’ and drag a line from the activating group to the trigger. Go back to the trigger menu and change to ‘Entire Group’, ‘Group Member’, or ‘Group Leader’ to declare who from the group activates it. Crestron xpanel for mac download.
How much does unit know about this?
Every unit knows between 0% and 100% about every other unit. To utilize this, you can check how much a unit knows about another. This is useful for creating intruder alarms and such. Used as a ‘Condition’, this code will determine if Nick knows at least 50% of the information about Bob. Nick knowsabout Bob >2; (use number between 0 and 4 for knowledge level).
Is unit dead?
To check to see if a unit or object is dead, insert this code into the ‘Condition’ field: !alive Bob; The ! basically says NOT, so NOTalive Bob. This may be omitted to ask if bob is alive.
Check if engine is on
Used as a condition, this code is typed into waypoints or triggers: isEngineOn car1;To check if engine is off, type !isEngineOn car1
Is unit present inside trigger radius?
Editor: Conditions | The ARMA 2 & 3 Editor
To see if a specific unit is inside a trigger, type this code into the triggers ‘Condition’ field: Bob in thislist;For multiple units use:(Bob in thislist) && (Nick in thislist); or use (Bob in thislist) or (Nick in thislist);
Is unit a human player?
To see if a unit is a human player type this as a ‘Condition’: isplayer Bob;
What is the damage level of a unit?
To check the damage level of a unit, type this into any ‘Condition’ field: getdammage Bob >0.7; This will trip the trigger if Bob’s damage is greater than 70%. It has a value from 0 to 1.
Is unit in this vehicle?
Midas gen crack serial codes. To check to see if a unit is in a specific vehicle, use this code as a ‘Condition’: Bob in car1;
Check number of units in vehicle
To make a trigger fire when a certain number of units enter car1, use this code as a trigger ‘Condition’: count crew car1 10;or use count crew car1 >2;
Distance between two objects/units
This code should be used as a condition. It will compare the distance between two objects and trip the trigger if it equals true. Bob distance Nick < 10; So, if Bob is within 10 meters of Nick, the trigger will trip. An = may be substituted for the < to trip when Bob’s distance to Nick is equal to 10 meters.
Check the damage level of unit/object
To compare the damage level of anything, use this code in a ‘Condition’ field: getdammage Bob >0.7;In this code, 0.7 is equal to 70% damage. If Bob is over 70% injured, the trigger will trip.
To use the time of day as a condition, use this code in a ‘Condition’ field: daytime >=12;12 is 12 hours past 0000 hrs or noon. 16 would be 1600hrs or 4pm.
I’ve been walking for twenty minutes since the mission started, my MX assault rifle swaying in front of me, the Mediterranean sunset over my shoulder, when I spot the enemy about 800 meters away on a hilltop outpost. I crouch next to a bush and command a couple of my NATO squaddies to flank left behind some rocks so they can get a better angle on the enemy. We have to take this point so the area around Camp Rogaine will be secured. One… Two… Pop! Pop! Pop! The sound of small arms fire stutters out from a group of nearby trees. I can hear excited Farsi chatter from the enemy soldiers. We’ve been spotted by a patrol! A firefight breaks out between the Iranians and my team pinned behind the rocks. I slide into a prone position and take careful aim on a target while they’re shooting at my flanking fire team. If I can just pick off a few of these guys, my men can move up to that abandoned shack for some cover so we can call in some support from the Israeli Merkava tanks. That’s when a Greek transport helicopter crashes into the hillside killing everyone. Welcome to Arma III.
After the jump, can a combat toolbox be fun?
Arma III is the latest combined arms combat sandbox from Bohemia Interactive. Unlike a Call of Duty or a Battlefield, Arma is less about action and traditional game concepts than a portrayal of what it’s like to be an infantryman in a combat zone. It’s unpredictable, sometimes boring, sometimes tense, and always prone to SNAFU. It doesn’t mind making you walk cross-country for thirty minutes before an enemy sniper pops your noggin from a kilometer away. Arma laughs at your ideas of balanced encounters and lets a ground attack jet hammer your squad of infantry. Bohemia has been doing this kind of thing since Operation Flashpoint and the experience — when it works correctly — is like nothing else on the market.
It’s the “when it works correctly” part that gets in the way. Arma III tries to model combined arms warfare on about 300 square kilometers of we-promise-it’s-not-Greek-islands while giving players the freedom to use any of the tools at their disposal. That’s combat with small arms, trucks, tracks, weapon emplacements, a jet (more on that later), helicopters, drones, and even scuba simulated between the forces of NATO, the we-promise-it’s-not-Greek AAF, and the enemy CSAT, which is sort of like G.I. Joe’s COBRA except less believable. Things are bound to break, and they often do in Arma III. Soldiers can get locked into place and refuse to move. Tanks can get stuck on scenery. Sometimes a mission will completely glitch out and you’ll be left wondering what to do next. The fortunes of war!
Bohemia Interactive focused on improving the basic experience from previous Arma games and it shows. The running and gunning is smoother. It’s not snap aiming like Call of Duty, but the infantry experience is much better. Shooting your weapon won’t feel like you’re pulling a trigger in Tresspasser, arms waving lazily. The infantry animations are better. Soldiers move more like people and less like reject animatronics from Tomorrowland. You’ll still see prone soldiers pivoting on their bellies like they have greased belt buckles, but walking and running no longer look ridiculous. Bohemia added a bunch of stances to the infantry, so you can go prone, roll, sit up, lean forward, left or right, crouch, etc. They each have their uses, and switching between them looks almost natural. I’m still finding new stances to adopt while in a firefight.
Which brings me to the interface. It’s still awful. In Arma games instead of having a context-sensitive use key that changes dynamically, you have an action menu that you can pop up with the middle mouse button to give a number of options depending on what you’re near. While facing a building, the action menu could let you open the door, or change from your rifle to your sidearm, or reload, or whatever else the scenario maker intended. Guess how often you’ll accidentally choose the wrong thing in the heat of combat? Always. You’ll need to get into that infantry fighting vehicle right now, but you’ll instead slowly swap your rifle out with your pistol because fuck you. Bohemia seems unduly proud of the action menu and refuses to change it. The user interface in Arma has always been a daunting jumble of key combinations even without the action menu shenanigans. Want to look through your rifle scope? Click the right mouse button. No. Click it. Don’t hold it. That makes your view zoom in and you’ll hold your breath. Oh, damn. Did you control-click earlier? Yup. That swapped your scope to the little red dot sight on top. Right click to get back to the regular view. Now you can control-click to move the view you’ll bring up from the dot sight to the scope. Yes, I know there’s no way for you to know what view you’ll bring up before you right click. The fortunes of war! Got it? Whew! Now right click. Oops…
Speaking of fumbles, the game does not come with a campaign. Bohemia promises to release three campaign episodes as free DLC, but for now the game only has 15 separate scenario missions. These showcase missions focus on one aspect of the Arma experience like infantry or support and task the players with using the given equipment to complete the assigned task. Each can be played in about an hour unless things go wrong. The armor mission broke spectacularly for me. My tank platoon just decided to stop fighting and I wound up sweeping through the enemy held town with my one tank until the mission success screen popped up. The showcase missions break easily and just aren’t that good anyway. One mission has the player acting as a lone saboteur at night to distract enemy forces. It’s meant to show off the nifty new lighting engine, but Bohemia neglected to notice that the mission is boring and dumb. Three of the showcase scenarios aren’t even what I’d call missions since they consist of the player walking around a firing range and looking at equipment.
Thankfully, Arma III features full Steam Workshop support and a robust in-game editor. There are over 2,000 user-made missions in the Steam Workshop. You can find everything from full recreations of Operation Flashpoint missions to mods that let you rally race around the island of Altis in sports cars. Previous Arma games have enjoyed a long and fruitful relationship with modders. The famous DayZ zombie survival mod came from Arma 2. It was so successful that Bohemia is spinning it off into its own standalone title. Currently, one of the most popular multiplayer mods for Arma III is Wasteland which pits wandering soldier nomads against one another. Using the editor can be as easy as plopping a few units down on the map, hitting preview, and fighting it out. If you want to create scenarios with actual objectives and sequences beyond a simple meeting engagement, be prepared to read and watch a lot of tutorials. Despite what Bohemia has done to make the editor more newbie-friendly, you’ll still need to learn scripting to do the most basic things like set up a task with success and failure conditions.
Unfortunately, the popularity of mods makes multiplayer a dicey affair. Jumping into random public games means you’ll never know what mods the server has running until you get in. You’ll rarely ever find any servers hosting the official multiplayer scenarios, which is a shame because they’re the strongest missions that ship with the game. That’s if you can even join the server and get a stable game going. Many people are having FPS issues in multiplayer that makes Arma III turn into PowerPoint.

Bohemia obviously loves and trusts their core fans because they’re letting them supply most of the content for Arma III. They’re even going to release assets from Arma II to modders so they can port them into Arma III in response to complaints that the game didn’t launch with enough content. This is good because the mostly made-up arms and armor in Arma III are unsatisfying. Bohemia started with a futuristic setting (at one point even releasing the above preview image of a railgun tank) but according to them, development shifted to a more conventional infantry experience. The game is still supposedly set in a future that has Iran invading Greece but you’d never know it unless you read the forums. Unfortunately, the change in direction and some legal troubles with Greece left Bohemia scrambling for development time, and it’s obvious. While it may be cheap to complain about Arma III shipping with fewer vehicles than Arma II, there’s a lot of cut and paste between the forces. Vehicle armament (and sometimes whole vehicles) are shared across the factions. Why does every vehicle with a grenade launcher have the same turret? Why does the anti-air emplacement look just like the man-portable AA launcher stuck on a tripod? Why does NATO and CSAT have the same old M109 artillery turret mounted on their self-propelled artillery platforms? Why is there only one jet model for everyone? What happened to the F-35 Lightning they showed off in early images?
When it clicks, the game is second-to-none which is why I’ll continue to play despite its many issues. With no campaign, spotty multiplayer, and poor canned scenarios, Arma III just isn’t a complete product at this time. If you got into previous Arma games for the military equipment porn then Arma III’s mish-mash of make-believe and cut & paste equipment make it easier to stick with Arma II’s dizzying list of modern real-world equipment. Only die-hard Arma fans who want to get in and mess with editing their own scenarios are going to get the most out of this software. Bohemia claims that they will add more content in future updates, but they seem content to let the community do the hard work of filling in gameplay for them. Think of Arma III more as an editor bundled with dedicated modders instead of an actual game.
