Haha dude. Probably too close to home for you tracking poachers in your home land!

Hey Robin! What map are you on? Note that only fuel barrels can be set to be burners, and also only barrels some distance from mission start position. This was to prevent player exploding barrels in bases where mission starts. I need to know what map or what mission you are in.

@@johnnyboy8657 Hey. johnny. I'm working on an exclusively single player campaign. Homemade missions created in the editor. Doesn't work on any map from S.O.G. DLC. Even with Spearhead1944 the fire thrower doesn't catch fire or explode like in your videos too. 5 minutes later......🤔 aaaah, now I get it. only from a certain distance!! OK, cool, thanks for the tip. GREAT! please continue with your mod! absolute hammer. - is it possible to activate it via trigger? This would be extremely helpful for missions in which you start directly in enemy territory. Possibly compatible with ACE and settings via module in the future and and and🤣 best wishes, Michael

Thanks dude. I don't want to invest time in Reforger until their tools are more mature and ARMA 4 is ready. It's a big learning curve I don't have time for yet. Thanks for the kind words though.

Yes there is. Put this line in your init.sqf: missionNameSpace setVariable ["jboy_teamJoinsLater",true]; If you publish your mission, ping me so I can check it out! Thanks.

@johnnyboy8657 That's great, thank you very much. If I ever publish it, I would be happy to do so. Thanks again. Greetings, Michael

I don't use zues, so don't know. This is for player commanded squad AI, so my mod would work only while player commands AI.

@ yeah, i play your mod almost everyday on single player with the cheat menu haha .. been playing it with force recon soo i was wondering how it would work if i zapped in us forces since by default they are all German.. ill definitely play with it and ill let you know if it does👍🏽

@@ImZrho Cool. Great to hear your using the mod. Let me know how it goes.

@ played it for hours yesterday and can confirm that it works.. so if anyone is wanting to play as US 85 for example just load in simple single player cheat menu , load Zeus and select your team , had zero issues doing it with sog Ai ..

@ Good news. Thanks for reporting.

Thanks dude. Yes, there is a CBA parameter to toggle that on or off called "Enable Prairie Fire NPC chatter for West side"

@johnnyboy8657 Man really appreciate the response, I tried but the vanilla radio beep doesn't showed up 😐, mistake might come from my side tho

@ Maybe I misunderstood. Are you asking about the Prairie Fire DLC specific chatter on West side where guys complain etc. while not in combat, and while in combat shout Vietnam specific stuff like "Bring the M60 up here!" and "You gonna die VC!"? But now I think you are talking about the vanilla ARMA statements and replies your AI make like "Copy that", "Moving", etc. not having the radio beep? I removed the radio beep because they didn't have personal squad radios in the Vietnam era, so hearing the beep wasn't realistic.

@@johnnyboy8657 aaah that make sense. I mostly played your mod combined with any modern setting mod so that's why I want to bring the vanilla radio beep. It was so lit, just miss a bit "thing" to make it perfect to me. Still, your mod is great Man, really help solo player like me. Thanks for the replies Man ! That's a very kind of you :)

@@akwankusala966 Thanks man, glad you enjoy it. I'll consider adding logic to retain the radio beep if scenario set in modern times.

Sorry dude, you need the Prairie Fire DLC. For the price of a pizza you get countless hours of entertainment. Its worth it to me.

@@johnnyboy8657 nah your good bro! Im kinda skeptical buying this dlc as some say its not "Solo Friendly" but with your mod it might be good to try it idk

@@commissargab6181 Totally up to you man. But this mod does make their campaign missions solo friendly. And there are quite a few good steam workshop missions. And you can use this mod while playing vanilla and other dlc missions. Regardless, thanks for the interest, and have a great 2025!

Haha dude, leave it enabled and you will eventually find out (if playing a Nam mission with Nickel Steel mod loaded). :)

Thanks! I think that is a standard ARMA difficulty setting. My mod does not do that.

@@johnnyboy8657 Thanks a lot, also one more thing. When i select "move there" from the command circle, i cant see any arrow to point direction. Should i do some tweaks to see it ?

@@augy5986 You only see arrows if you are pointing at an object like a fence or log where you want the team to move to positions parallel to an object. For most "move there" commands (where you don't see arrows) team will move 100M in the direction you are looking when command given.

The T key will show you an equivalent key menu, so yes.

@johnnyboy8657 I mean the menu and it's functions itself, hehe

You need to own the Prairie Fire DLC and have it loaded.

@ I owned it when load both DLC :SOG + 1944 ; use another mod with recommend by you but tab function can't use but the AI now work better. Anyway SOG AI work so well with DLC SOG, it help me got great experience with Prire Fire DLC when singleplayer

Not currently, except if playing Western Sahara you can dismiss an AI and later order him to rejoin. I've recently considered adding the Dismiss AI for all scenarios in the beginning of mission, that way you could spawn a large team (say 11 man Team Raleigh), and then dismiss 5 of them so you can run a selected smaller team. Is this what you are thinking?

@@johnnyboy8657 exactly what I thought thanks man You have no idea how much I appreciate you, its a completely different experience with this mod

Not currently, but I've been thinking about that a bit. So maybe in the future. My mod does cause melee to happen if enemy happens to be close enough.

Grazi!

Sorry, what command box? I don't understand the question.

Sorry dude its a SP mod, and too much work to make it work for MP.

That's the plan!

Thanks dude.

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you sir! I had to laugh when the timing of the vanilla repair animation worked out perfectly with the boot kick. It's my favorite part of this feature. :)

I hope to add a rearm script, as vanilla rearm is so stupid with you getting a million actions for every dead unit's weapon on the map no matter how far away it is. Maybe in a month or so.

@@johnnyboy8657 i dont know whats your plan for sog ai... but it would be a an awesome late christmas gift :)

Thanks for the suggestion. But that is unlikely as this is an infantry mod like you said.

Totally!

If you start missions commanding an AI squad and use this mod, then it should work.

did some more testing and got it to work I might've had something conflicting with SOG AI before

@@Dylan-of5cl It works for every DLC I own, but I don't own EF so I can't test it there. So not sure what the problem may be. Maybe I will by EF in the next month or so.

I wish, but that's not gonna happen.

It works on Rabbits. I may add goats and dogs later. Note these are animals my mod is spawning (chickens and rabbits), and not the ambient animals. So an ambient rabbit will not react. I may add code to replace ambient rabbits with my reactive ones though if I get around to it.

Thanks!

Probably will have some problems, as it's a single player mod. Some stuff will work, some won't.

Haha, thanks dude. Nocturnal chicken or rabbit?

Thanks dude.

thanks dude!

@@johnnyboy8657 btw do you use any other mods for arma 3? i.e: dynamiccamo? i've noticed you really blended in with the ground in terms of a.i visibility.

@@kittykenderson I use a few mods, but not camo related.

Thanks man. Great for immersion and suspense. They may or may not discover you depending on how accurate their randomized investigation move is.

@@johnnyboy8657 If they discover you then it's time to go cyclic.

Excellent question. No it won't. It suspends them for a moment with a disableAI MOVE on the team and lockWP true. If they discover you and go into combat mode then MOVE is re-enabled. If they don't discover you, the investigator returns to formation and Move is re-enabled and lockWP false so they continue on their merry way.

@@johnnyboy8657 ty

Haha. Rabbit is pretty cool too. He jumps, cries and boogies.

Yeah, but that was an earlier version of it. The clean version of those scripts can be found here: forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/289092-forced-ai-movement-via-scripted-waypoints/?tab=comments#comment-3533166

No, but that is a good idea. Will think on it.

@@johnnyboy8657 That would be a good reason to have a point man. Loving the update by the way - It is so damn immersive to use in the new mission. Final beta testing is ongoing - Release should be on Friday for you to enjoy over the weekend :-)

@@dunklik6089 Looking forward to PHM2!!!

Thanks dude, I appreciate it. I admit that I had to google 4 strength 4 stam though...lol.

@@johnnyboy8657 asjfalkfjlk;fjalgkj;l its a very old mmo reference i don't blame u

Right on, thanks Kman!

That is likely a bug. Before this last release I toyed with Stealth and Weapons Free as a toggle, and then decided I didn't like it, and changed it back to always be Stealth. It seems I missed something and it still says Weapons Free when it should not. Thanks for the report, I will fix it soon.

@johnnyboy8657 oh, so if I wish to toggle it off I have to use the vanilla AI menu to do two separate actions of combat or aware, then allow them to open fire? Seems like the toggle just makes more sense.

My original approach was Stealth On, and your team would not fire unless player fires, or your AI team perceives enemy knows about them and is about to fire on your team. This allowed your team to go prone and hopefully let near enemies pass without engaging. So you didn't need Weapons Free command, just fire your weapon if you want the fight. The toggle made sense as well, but I found some of my team go weapons hot (without firing yet) on their own sometimes, so I need to re-issue Stealth On again so they won't fire when I don't want them to. So with some AI ready to shoot and other still in Stealth, to put them all back to Stealth, I would have to toggle Weapons Free and then toggle Stealth On again (when I had toggle active). I thought that risked the whole team firing when I didn't want them to. So I'm back to Stealth On only, and player shooting to initiate weapons free. Sorry for long explanation!

@@6tuf85dyfu I just fixed the bug so the Stealth On option will never read Weapons Free. To toggle team to Weapons Free you either fire your weapon, or use the Weapons Free option on the SOG AI numeric menu (press T for that menu).

@@johnnyboy8657how do you turn stealth mode off
