Some very useful Arma 3 scripting samples to enhance your missions.

by

This script is very useful, this will show player names within 320m. This would be most useful for multiplayer missions.

see_player_locations_esp = addMissionEventHandler ['Draw3D', {
	{
		if (!isNull _x && (side _x) == west) then {
			if (vehicle _x != cameraOn) then {
				_name = format ["%1" + endl + "%2", name _x, str((configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> TypeOf _x >> "displayName") call BIS_fnc_GetCfgData)];
				_pos = (_x modelToWorld ((_x selectionPosition 'neck') vectorAdd [0,0,0.25]));
 
				if ((cameraOn distance _x) <= 320) then {
						_color = [0,0.27,0.84,1];
						if (side _x == opfor) then {
							_color = [0.9,0.11,0,1];
						};
						if (side _x == civilian) then {
							_color = [0.4, 0, 0.4, 1];
						};
						if (side _x == independent) then {
							_color = [0, 0.8, 0.2, 1];
						};
						if (side _x == west) then {
							_color = [0.2, 0.2, 0.9, 1];
						};
						drawIcon3D [getText (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> typeOf _x >> "icon"), _color, _pos, 0.6, 0.6, 180, (format ['%1 (%2m)', _name, (round(cameraOn distance _x))]), 1, 0.03, 'RobotoCondensedLight','center',true];
				};
			};
		};
	} foreach allUnits;
}];

This is a most useful feature to enable better identification of BLUFOR players.

This code sample in a trigger will be set off when the three tasks are complete.

{if ( [_x] call bis_fnc_taskExists ) then {
          [_x] call bis_fnc_taskCompleted      
} else {
	false;
};
} count ["task1","task2","task3"] == 3;

Add a nice blur fade in effect and the name of the mission appears when you start a single-player mission. Add this in the init.sqf file.

// --- Info text
if (time &lt; 10) then
{
	titleCut ["", "BLACK FADED", 999];
	[] Spawn {
		waitUntil{!(isNil "BIS_fnc_init")};
 
		// Info text
		[str("Op Silent Spring") , str(date select 1) + "." + str(date select 2) + "." + str(date select 0), str("Alpha Team 1")] spawn BIS_fnc_infoText;
 
		sleep 12;
		"dynamicBlur" ppEffectEnable true;
		"dynamicBlur" ppEffectAdjust [6];
		"dynamicBlur" ppEffectCommit 0;
		"dynamicBlur" ppEffectAdjust [0.0];
		"dynamicBlur" ppEffectCommit 7;
		titleCut ["", "BLACK IN", 5]
	};
};

Add a game logic named logic1 in the middle of your base, and then add this into your initServer.sqf. This will make all buildings and hangars around your base indestructible.

{ _x allowdamage false; } foreach (nearestTerrainObjects [logic1,["house"],1900]);

And this is another way to handle this. This will make all buildings in a radius around the marker “respawn_east” indestructible.

{
	_x allowdamage false;
} foreach (nearestTerrainObjects [getMarkerPos "respawn_east",["house"],900]);

Have a random loading splash screen for your Arma 3 mission. This is just like Invade and Annex Tanoa #1.

loadScreen = __EVAL(["\A3\Structures_F_Argo\Commercial\Billboards\Data\Advertisements\bill_action_co.paa","\A3\Structures_F_Argo\Commercial\Billboards\Data\Advertisements\bill_mars_co.paa","\A3\Structures_F_Argo\Commercial\Billboards\Data\Advertisements\bill_maskrtnik_co.paa","\A3\Structures_F_Argo\Commercial\Billboards\Data\Advertisements\bill_olives_co.paa","\A3\Structures_F_Argo\Commercial\Billboards\Data\Advertisements\bill_pate_co.paa","\A3\Structures_F_Argo\Commercial\Billboards\Data\Advertisements\bill_pills_co.paa","\A3\Structures_F_Argo\Commercial\Billboards\Data\Advertisements\bill_plane_co.paa","\A3\Structures_F_Argo\Commercial\Billboards\Data\Advertisements\bill_supermarket_co.paa","\A3\Structures_F_Argo\Commercial\Billboards\Data\Advertisements\bill_winery_co.paa"] select floor random 9);
