How to command AI - Arma 3 [Voice + C2 + AI-mods]
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 มี.ค. 2016
- Some general information regarding AI squad commanding in Arma 3. This video should give a broad understanding of it.
I have been researching how to play with AI for a little while now since I came across the C2 Command & Control mod. Since I could only find videos about each of the different aspects of how i like to play, I decided to fill that void with this video. It should be a good stepping stone if you want to play missions in the same fashon as I do with voice and mods.
Special thanks to LoneConspirator for all the discussions about AI, MCC4 and ALiVE. Also for building the awesome missions where we get to test it all. Check out his channel here:

I THOUGHT ABOUT THIS FOR A VERY LONG TIME BUT NEVER THOUGHT IT EXISTED, I'M SO HAPPY
This is by far one of the best and most informative video's I've ever seen on this game, or any for that matter. Fantastic work. Subscribed!
Wow! Thanks man!
Only 7 minutes in, but wow. Very professional and well done. Learning a lot too.
+Tatsu06 Glad to hear that. Thanks!
Got into arma 3 recently as I love everything military, seeing this video is great as I have loved to work with so and muck around, thank you.
glad that it's still useful, mate!
@woofer Fantastic video on a very important Arma 3 topic. I feel we are about to enter the Golden Age of Arma 3 and this progress on AI is one of the first steps. Again, great video!
+Taylor Brown Thanks, man! And I agree. A3 is maturing now on both the official side and the community side.
Great video and thank you for the mentioning of all these great mods I checked out. I don't think Voice Command is gonna be for me though looking through the comments and seeing the troubles I think its easier to probably just stick with C2! Of which I found thanks to your mention here. I just got ASR AI3 I freakin hate the Default AI because they can pretty much no scope you from across the map and they lay down in the grass and wont get back up so you get shot just looking for them.
This was exactly the video I was looking for! Awesome!!!
dude... this was a great watch! thank you
+Mad Cheese No, thank you! ;)
Amazing video! Can't wait to try this out.
Thanks man! Hope you get some fun out of that stuff too!
1 person felt intimidated by your use of big words
10/10 would watch again
forums.bistudio.com/topic/190793-advanced-ai-command/
just a simple little mod I use for AI movement, certainly not the best but just another option c:
Excellent video - I just got bCombat to work on my server with a persistent CO-OP campaign - and it's absolutely brilliant, especially when combined with some UPSMON scripts. Highly recommend it. I also use Articulate and C2 on that server as well, and they make playing SP or with few human players and lots of AI actually fun again, as well as adding to immersion.
+Da Wei Oh! I thought bCombat was single player only, but I seem to be misinformed on that. Now I wanna check that out, so thanks for the info! And I agree on the thing about few human players with lots of AI making SP interesting.
It is singleplayer only officially - but I created a server key that allows it to be used on your own servers in MP. Check out TazMods on Steam / add me: AlmightyTaz - and I'll give you the server key. Can be a little heavy on performance but if you have a good i7 it'll be fine.
Da Wei Gotcha, that explains alot.
Really like your videos you know what you are talking about
Thank you for the great video but I am having a issue understanding one thing.
I downloaded articulate and c2, Is there anyway to use articulate with the 3d hud from c2 or what do I need to do, really lost on this.
Any help would be really appreciated.
I wish there were a video like this for every modable game. It's a quick, easy frame of reference for how to fix one of the biggest problems with ARMA, the braindead AI.
Really good video. It's old now since I've seen it. But I'm certain there are other AI mods. Ive been looking at LAMBS.
Thanks! Within the group of players that I play with nowadays, we use LAMBS. It's been working pretty well, but I don't have any mission making experience with it so I haven't done any of the actual testing this time around.
@@woofer_808 I've only just got back into mission making. I used to do a few back in the Operation Flashpoint days. I've now been looking into using voice commands, but I'm finding that I have issues with my Windows setup. I've installed both 'Articulate' and 'Voice Attack'. Both both claim that I don't have speech recognition. So it's my next challenge to sort out. Interestingly, I have 'Spotter' installed for my racing sim games, and the voice control for that works.
@@johnk5165 Both Articulate and VoiceAttack usually need to be run as Administrator. So that's a good place to start at least. Otherwise there could be something with windows speech recognition in case your spotter program is using some other voice recognition system. Everything that's used for Arma is dependent on windows speech as far as I know.
@@woofer_808 I got it working last night. Now I'm in Australia so my voice pack was automatically defaulted to the Australian pack. I then decided to download the US voice pack and it worked! Must of been something wrong with Australian voice pack. Time to learn how to use it! Thanks.
Thank you so much for the excelent video! Best I've seen about arma moding so far. But you desperately need to get rid of the uptalk!
Bought voice attack yesterday , purely for Arma 3 apex. IT IS AMAZING. It's like playing a completely different game. Now, just the thought of doing a mission via keyboard seems insane.
I couldn't agree more! I'm working on a voiceattack profile myself. I'm gonna put it up along with a video tonight hopefully, if that sounds at all interesting.
That would be cool, I could only find one profile after a search and as luck would have it it works brilliantly after a tiny little bit of tweaking, which was ridiculously easy to do. Arma is finally the game I have always wanted it to be.
Hey woofer could you please advise me on something, I downloaded C2 on steam after watching your video and I can't find the 'included user manual' anywhere. The only things I know how to do are things you've explained in your video. It's driving me crazy.
If you got C2 off of the Steam Workshop, there should be a hidden folder called !Workshop in your Arma directory. In there you should find a shortcut (or virtual folder) named @C2 - Command & Control (VX.X.X). That's where my manual seem is nowerdays. At the time of the video, BIS didn't have the same file structure for Workshop content as they do currently. Mine is called "C2 Manual 1_4_6.pdf".
Got it, thanks man. Are you still working on a voice attack profile? I would love to use it, especially if it incorporates commands for C2.
Very nice video.. informative and professional. This should have a couple of zeros on the end of your view count :)
I will watch again, for sure, as I'm very tempted to get into voice commands with AI.
What would be awesome... would be another video, that walks the viewer through the end-to-end process of setting up a bank of commands for A3/C2. Just thought I'd throw that one in there mate :)
Keep up the good work!
+Tac-Mush - ARMA 3 Thank you very much! Glad to hear you liked it. I’m honing the process for each video now. Hopefully it won’t be too time consuming to make these soon.
Which leads me to ask what you would mean with “setting up a bank of commands for A3/C2”? In regards of making specific voice commands for C2? Or simply on how to use C2 in Arma? The reason for this more general approach to the whole subject was hoping that it empowers a viewer to seek out their own setup. I’m also keen to have instructional videos I make fill a void, which is why I didn’t go for something that would overlap mad_cheese’s own or other voice videos too much.
I suppose I could make something that is more step-by-step on getting to my exact setup and technique for playing. I’m in this for the actual editing after all.
Nicely done Woofer! High quality stuff here, almost though I was watching a Dyslexi video :) Bravo my friend! You and I need to run a Co-op mission together and lead a couple of squads into combat :)
+Lone Conspirator We sure do!
@woofer awsome vid very pro made u got a new sub
TheNukeGaming thanks for the kind words man
Still a killer video bro ❤
That is super appreciated buddy! I can't wait to get back to this stuff.
7 minutes in, internet is dying. But Im loving it so far. I'll have to watch the rest later. but can I get your recommendation for the best AI mod in your opinion for SP? Both for Friendly and Enemy units.
+Kothen HR I have had the best consistent experience with ASR_AI3 for both friendly and enemy units. There are some specific features in there that work well with my playstyle. Also, the scenarios I have played with that mod seldom broke completely because of AI doing something not anticipated by the mission creator. Remember to check the ASR_AI3 Bohemia forum page for installation instructions. There are some quirks since Arma 3 version 1.54.
Thank you for the reply! AI is a huge thing for me since I am a 90% SP player
I recently (post-Apex) compared vanilla AI, ASR 9.30, and Pooter's ASR 9.30 edit by raptoer. raptoer's edit uses the same asr pbo filename, so I created a separate mod folder for his version, and put his ASR version in that folder. Then I make sure to only load either Robalo's normal ASR, or raptoer's Pooter ASR. Both ASR versions use the same settings file, so I use the raptoer settings files (he has a few additional variables for seeking cover in the asr_ai3_settings.sqf file in userconfig folder) as my only set of userconfig files.
I hope that tangled explanation makes some sense. Or just delete and replace your normal ASR mod files and userconfig files. I think it's worth it, b/c raptoer wrote an additional AI routine to find and use nearby objects for cover. It noticeably improves the AI's ability to take cover, even over normal ASR AI. However, units get scattered easily sometimes, so I've found that setting the asr_ai3_main_RESELECT_COVER_TIME variable to = 120 instead of 30 seemed to help improve squad cohesion.

Hey, I was just wondering if you would still be on this but, what do you use now? Because its been 4 years and I've just now started wanting to move away from vanilla AI because they are still challenged.
I'm still using C2 and voice to micromanage since I agree that vanilla AI are very hit and miss at the best of times.
As for AI behavior mods, BI just overhauled and added some commands which are potential game changers. So I'm currently waiting around to see what that brings. Check out Genesis92x's (vcom) most recent video and you'll get a good idea of what's coming.
thanks CIA Special Activity Division SOG - ARMA 3 - works the best for me ! the only one with real wepon supressor .
I got articulate, but im having a hard time finding out how to make it work. Do I just install it and then presto it works? or what :( please help
Do you use all those mods in the desc? Me and a friend are trying to play arma lately and the vanilla a.i is BEYOND stupid, so we are looking for things like this, thanks in advance :)
I use them to taste. Vcom AI when playing squad command with friendly AI. Then I switch between Vcom AI, ASR_AI3 and maybe FFIS when playing against AI at the moment. Current default is Vcom though.
Fallout3131 Personally I do not really find any of the ai mods useful because of the mods being buggy or ai units plain on deny orders. However the VCOM vehicle ai mod is nice, but the ASR ai is semi-good. As I had tested ASR ai in an unit I am in and found that the ai ignores orders to hold the position instead the ai unit moves up to assault enemy forces.
@Fallout3131 This is a perfectly valid and very good point. It should be said that if there is going to be any mucking about with AI mods, make sure not to expect magic out of what essentially are hobby projects trying to design for a black box system. That is why I hop between AI mods. I usually want something specific out of the game session. AI mods are pretty much a death sentence for community made scenarios for example. Probably isn't said often enough.
Is it possable to swap the selected language from lets say Swedish to english to be able to use Voice recognition programs when i play arma and swap back after or does it have to be installed in english mode.
You can switch between display languages without reinstalling windows. But there is a log out/login action needed between the two as far as I can remember. I would go for a quick restart, I guess. Please don't take my word for it and spend money before you know for sure though. Try the VoiceAttack.com's forums.
Not really related to your question, but you could try the "alternate speech engines for VoiceAttack" that can now be installed and used if that is an interesting way to go for you. Check out the following two links. The second lists available languages for it.
voiceattack.com/alternate.aspx
voiceattack.com/alternateengines.aspx
@woofer does the ASR_AI3 mod still work or is there a better AI mod now
I honestly haven't used that mod in a year or so now. But last I heard it at least works.
Arma 2 need this kind of mod
It's been 5 months since this video, so perhaps you've found it already. FHQ Combat Mode is a mod from Varanon and Alwarren (two veteran Arma modders and mission makers) that dis/enables combat mode for your AI team members. If you assign its command key to something unique, then you can set your GlovePIE voice command for it as well. e.g. voice command "retreat" could combine both disabling combat mode and a move to location command.

I haven't had a chance to test it yet. As soon as I get back from vacation I surely will though ^^
Great vid. Am a SP too and AI and control is a big deal. Do you use Voice Attack, and if so could you share your profile please? Also your custom ASR AI settings would be great. Would like you to do a vid about how you use C2 Command and ideas you have. Thanks once again for do these kind of videos :)
+Wilco Charlie Hey! I haven't really used Voice Attack other than for some very limited testing. I do own it, but at the moment I'm going for a setup in VAC. Regarding ASR_AI3 settings I don't really edit those too much but rather jump between AI mods. I play alot with MCC4 where I more or less let GAIA handle the AI.
Glad the video is appreciated. I really like editing so I probably will do a focused how-to video based on my own playstyle when I have it nailed down the way I like it. There so much going on right now that I probably won't know until after Apex has come out though.
is articulate client side meaning i could use it in MP without others needing it?
Yes, exactly. It's the same as pressing keys on your keyboard.
@@woofer_808 thanks, I think I'll give it a try later
Have you ever considered using the Get Tactical Interface? I find it complements C2 dramatically. It has similar functionality in terms of waypoint syncing and team selection, and it makes the game play sort of like Xcom or Jagged Alliance.
Well, I wasn't all that into it when I tried it way back when. I'm not much for RTS games in general and I felt I lost the first person core experience I like with Arma with that mod. But now that you mention it, it might be a good time to go back and revisit. I didn't have voice and C2 when that mod first came out either so the situation would be different now. Thanks for the tip!
Can you do a up to date video on voice attack 2021 bc i have a hard time trying to get voice attack to work with arma3 can you do a video from start to finish getting voice attack and binding the commands with arma3 i don't even know where to start lets just say i downloaded voice attack that is it i don't know what to do from there I'm lost no videos on youtube that shows you how to start right after download lets just say i have arma3 i have command & control and now i downloaded voice attack what should i do next? I'm lost lol help please thanks
hello i was wondering if articulate is still good to use with arma 3?
I haven't tried in a long time now, but from others i get the impression that it's still worth to at least try voice stuff with.
okay thanks for the reply, im gonna try it
I don't really like playing single player Arma 3 where I have to command a squad due to the AI being... well... less than stellar. But with a combination of some of these mods hopefully I'll perhaps get some enjoyment out of it. :)
+ThatMetalCoreBrony The mods help for sure, especially for turning off or on certain behaivour. But in my humble opinion I think it mostly comes down to finding that playstyle that don't rely too much on the AI making their own calls. >_<
But then, here's for hoping future updates will turn that around.
+woofer Guess I'll just have to get used to that. Will give me a good opportunity to work on my leadership skills, which I'm absolute shit at. Hopefully I'll finally get some enjoyment out of commanding squads. I think C2 will give me the most benefit when it comes to commanding. (Visual feedback looks like a godsend :P )
how do you get the display in the bottom left?
I don't follow exactly what display you mean. Are you thinking about the squad bar? If it's anything that is not generated by the game, It is probably just a video edit.
Man, great video. What about the latest update?
Thanks a lot! If by latest update you mean 1.68 for Arma, it is working well for me. If you are asking about updates to the voice profile, I don't have a video on the latest update, but there is a short changelog on the BI forum post for until 1.3.
Hi, sorry, I meant the latest Arma update. Is there anything in there that will make things easier for Voice commands in general?
ReSpawn Ah, gotcha. I only found some small stuff on pathfinding from what I can remember. Nothing major on the AI command side of things. Ginormous update nonetheless.
Sorry which Camera mod are you using or script?
It's gcam that is run on a different client from another computer. I am simply adding a playable cameraman to the missions and play in multiplayer. The camera is nudged around using a controller.
btw, Could you tell which mods you're using, if i wanted to use 'em w/o voice, i've seen the description and i confused sry.
P.S: I'm using, C2, ACE3, VCOM Ai, bCombat, ALiVe, ASR, Shacktac and CBA (ik Shactac isnt AI realted)
In this particular video I am using a bunch of different mods of course since the footage is taken from several different play sessions. Otherwise, nowerdays I'm mostly using VcomAI, C2, MCC4, FHQ CombatMode and then a slew of other content mods like CUP, RHS and so on. It all depends on what mission I'm on.
How do i have my men patrol with there weapons on safety or down
I think your best bet is to put them on safe. I'm not sure how to do a proper walking patrol, though.
what do you know about stealth ?
Not too much. It's generally not my playstyle with AI, but it is doable. Especially with the incremental improvements to the AI since 1.58. I have managed to sneak around Tanoa with AI in tow pretty successfully in pure testing thanks to that.
Have you looked at @WolfpackRealAI? Uses GL4, you can also use GL5.
+Wilco Charlie I haven't honestly. Does the Arma 2 mod work for Arma 3? Or is there actually a version of that for Arma 3?
There is a GL5 version for Arma 3. It doesn't get much airtime, and looks to not be supported any more, so you'll probably get a lot of rpt errors. When I briefly tried the core version, the AI seemed to do what they were supposed to do. Haven't thoroughly compared it since the recent pre-Apex and Apex updates.

Thanks for the input on that, mate!
How to install this voice command mod
Can you share a copy of the C2 manual please?
Not gonna lie, it's pretty hard to find these days. But one of the links in the forum worked www.dropbox.com/s/grki1yllcb1y4y6/@C2.zip?dl=0&file_subpath=%2F%40C2
What is the key we use to show commands?
By default it's the tilde key (~). The one left of 1-key on the number row.
@@woofer_808 thank you .
CAN YOU TELL ME HOW TO MOVE WHENE CAMERA IS CHANGE ?
GHOST LOGAN I'm not a hundred percent sure what you mean, but the camera that is following me around is the gcam mod.
but i see you move when camera change
in 7:30
So I'm assuming that you need to buy the voice programs. Doesn't seem worth it to drop keyboard. Id rather take some more time and have to read than to buy something. That's just me though.
(Plus, I have an online unit on A3 in which we simulate realistic infantry missions, so I don't really need it, I was just looking for a *Free* voice ai controller for my spare time when the guys are not on)
It's a preference thing, for sure. For myself I found that it added to the experience so much that I went from using Articulate (which is free) to pay to use VAC. I'm on the ten dollar VoiceAttack now. Other than that, GlovePIE should be free, but I don't know how well that and Articulate hold up after Apex came out.
VanguardOfFlame if you don't play single player of course you don't need a voice control. Playing campaign without voice is just stupid
If anyone is watching this video as of 2020 the best combination for AI mods are lambs_danger.fsm and related mods combined with Vcom Ai
Why the sights looks soo far? 3:00
Probably that I double-tapped numpad minus. It could also be that I leaned back with my trackIR
yes plz do tutorial
these mods are literally the ONLY way to play this game fluidly in singleplayer. It takes way too much time commanding a squad with stock arma.
How do I get them in a acar
If you first get in the car, you can select the AI and say "get in". It's also on the action menu when you select the squad members.
If you want to get them to board a car that you haven't boarded yourself, then select the AI before pressing four or saying "vehicle menu". After that you can use your scroll wheel to navigate through the action menu.
how to install this mod plz
I'm pretty sure the video gives pointers of where to look.
"open fire" and "fire at will" are two completely different commands.
Yeah I agree. It's weird in Arma how "Open fire" for some reason is used to cancel the "Hold fire" command given to AI. Kind of makes it a "Fire at will" command. The Arma command "Fire" is more of an "Open fire" command as far as I can see since it order the AI to fire their weapon.
@@woofer_808 The "Fire" command differs from the "Open Fire" command in that it doesn't completely overwrite the "Hold Fire" command but instead orders the selected AI unit that he must fire on his assigned target (target explicitly assigned by the group leader) until said target is destroyed but he must not open fire on any other target (e.i. once his assigned target is destroyed, he will automatically return back to "Hold Fire" without firing at anyone else). A good example of when this command is useful is in a situation where there are multiple enemy units spotted in a wide area but you only want to destroy a particular enemy unit quickly while trying to maintain stealth. With this command, you can quickly destroy a 2 man patrol or high threat vehicle without risking your AI subordinates automatically switching their fire onto other enemy units in their line of sight as soon as their assigned target has been destroyed. The command is also useful in ordering an AI subordinate to fire at and destroy an empty vehicle which the AI don't recognise as hostile.
@@woofer_808 TLDR: "Open Fire" can be translated to "You are now free to fire at any enemy you wish", while "Fire" can be translated to "I'm ordering you to fire at this explicitly assigned enemy target but you are not free to fire at anyone else".
@@sillyslapper92 This "until said target is destroyed but he must not open fire on any other target" was a good point. Thanks for clarifying.
i want c2 only plz tell me how and i will be thnx for you
Google "arma 3 workshop c2", then click the button Subscribe. Wait while steam downloads it for you. Then you'll find it under the button "mods" to the right in the arma 3 launcher. Tick the box next to C2 Command & Control and start the game.
hello great vid, could we have an updated video with the latest ai and voice mods ?
Hi, I enjoyed your video. The C2 GUI seems cool as well.
I am the maker of the VAC Arma 2 and 3 profile hosted on their main site and I just updated my profile to v309 because of a few changes in game. Like the removal of the wait command and other fixes related to that. I thought I would check out if there were other videos out there and thats how I found yours.
If anyone are interested in checking it out. One can do so via my Steam Workshop VAC Training mission here:
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=179904963
Anyway, the main reason I am posting this comment is because of your remark regarding AutoDanger. Because back in A2 I found out that IF you give the "return to formation" order and before its done change the formation setting. Like from line to file. You some times break Autodanger and your AI starts to run to you instead. If you notice some of your AI suddenly re-react to a enemy again. You can do it again to get the same effect.
Obviously that is easier said than done in most voice profiles, but in mine I have several "sets" of commands that makes that process easier. In this case, aside from "return to formation" orders of course, I have a "mode order" called Return NOW. That does a simple set of commands that gives the same effect. So you can then just say:
Red Return NOW (some re-react), formation line and Red Return NOW.
Until all AI have broken contact with enemies. All while you continue to run away.
I also have other "mode" sets that work in conjunction with Return NOW. Them being:
---------------------------------------------------------------
Armor mode, simple order to get a prefix for a AI vehicle team.
Infantry mode, simple order to get a prefix for AI infantry or to reset them.
Contact (direction), a contact order that gets your AI down and watching the direction of the enemy. Since they are also told to stop. This decreases their engagement time because they are already not occupied with "moving".
Ambush (direction), a ambush order similar to contact, but tells the AI to also hold fire. This is because IF the AI is in stop AND hold fire. They will just inform the leader on what they see, instead of engaging and since stop is in effect. They will not be "thinking" about moving so when you then tells them to open fire they will instantly open fire.
---------------------------------------------------------------
A older A2 video showing breaking from contact. Here however the order is only used once, but it still gets the job done.
th-cam.com/video/9C-AvhQEufI/w-d-xo.html
Secondly, I see you tend to use single select and then select where you want them. While my profile is more fire team based. I have both select orders and instant move orders on the whole team, every fire team and unit 1 up to 12.
Example, Red move now or select red and then left click. Not sure whats fastest and it could be a bit taste wise, but what I see you do I would for example do via. (2man fire team)
Red move now, red watch north, red kneel down. (New position) Red move now, red watch south. etc....
My2cent of Tips and Tricks :D
+JojoTheSlayer Thanks alot! This is great stuff. Can't wait to get home and try this stuff out.
The reson by the way that I tend to use single select is that C2 requires you to hold ctrl while selecting single units. The mod doesen't support selection by color unless the C2 menus are used. Another reason to move to VAC (and your profile I might add) since I can add support for C2. I haven't posted any video yet with me using anything other than Articulate.
+woofer there is keybinds to select teamColors in C2 but for some strange reason they seem incompatible with at least Articulate.
I tried to rebind color team selection to for example CTRL+SHIFT+F1 so that you still only would have to hold control. It does not work.. I'm sure I can fix this somehow, but anyways, with VAC you can definitly find a keybind that works.
Btw what's up JoJo, I remember you from the good old Charlie Foxtrot /A3 Wargames days :)
Mad Cheese
Doing fine. Havent been with the CF/Wargames guys for ages, but I might have played with a few of them the few times I have taken part in Rolling Thunder. Other than that, even United Operation has gone rather silent. So I don't play Arma as much as I used to. Then again, Apex is coming out soon so who knows. :)
*****
Btw, Woofer, I can propose a solution to holding down the ctrl key. If that's whats needed for C2.
You can get the program called AutoHotKey (uses text files for simple keyboard scripts in .ahk format) and just make a toggle down key for the ctrl key. Basically you push that key and ctrl will be held down until you press ctrl once. Just make sure nothing else uses ctrl to avoid conflict and your script could be.
$p::
Send, {Lctrl down}
Return
Press p, left ctrl is pressed down, forever.
Until you actually press left ctrl once to release it. The $ sign is just a switch to avoid the script also sending P key press output. Its a very useful program for keyboard issues.
+Mad Cheese Yes, it is exactly right that it is Articulate that is the problem. I completely forgot that I have C2 team selection bound to macro keys on my keyboard that I rarely use. I agree that VAC is the way out of that problem.
+JojoTheSlayer Thank you for that. I'll try to sit down this weekend and really nail my voice setup down with the information you and mad cheese have given me.
You show a set of icons or graphics in the bottom left corner of your screen for your AI team - they have names, and can other status data for each member of your team, such as what type of soldier they are (machine gunner, rifleman, medic, etc.), and what color-based sub-team they are a part of.
When I create teams in editor, those graphics do not show for me. Is this a 3rd-party mod? When I do single-player campaigns, some of the mission make me a part of a team of I, and those show the icons in the bottom left.
Also, I see your player's icon has your actual name. That can't have happened randomly. Did you have to make some pre-set settings to have it do that? Just trying to figure out why my game doesn't have those icons at the bottom left corner of my screen.
Also, I cannot make sub-teams myself. I can be team leader for the whole team, and the AI units have the little octagonal icon and they move with me. I can use the keyboard menu your video above shows to move them and command them as an entire team. But I cannot break them down into sub-teams, like 2-man buddy teams. A "Red" team and a "Blue" team, for example. I would like to , so I command them independently of each other, even though we are all part of one big team. But I can select the units with the function keys, then select either [9] or the "`" key for team command menus, then select "Team" and highlight a color (1. is "Red" Team), but when I then hit "Enter", or select "1", nothing happens. When I select the units using the associated function keys, their little octagonal icons highlight showing that they were selected. But when I select the sub-team I want to assign them to, their icons become un-high-lighted and nothing happens. It's as if I de-selected them instead.
I can't figure it out......
my AI speaks Hungarian. a language I never used xD
i subscribed but he dosnot want to downlode
you might want to start the Arma launcher. there is a force download button somewhere in there. make sure you are logged in to the correct steam account on both steam an the web browser. sometimes it works better to subscribe within the steam application.
Am I the only one who can get HUD mode to work for shit? Every other mode works fine but not HUD mode.
I've started having mod clashes recently. For me I found out that Niipaas workshop mod stopped HUD mod from working. Check if C2 works properly with only CBA+C2 loaded. Other than that, I'm out of ideas. You could always try the bohemia forum C2 thread or the Discord.
without steam
are you not using Steam?
Sadly, without steam there isn't much to do, since most of these mods are from the workshop, I reccomend getting arma 3 in steam, it would be good to do it right now that the summer sale is here
25-minute video with no timestamps...nope.
Please, for the love of god, someone help me out.
This looks great and all, but for some reason, articulate won't understand me. Yes, my accent is thicker than Josef Stalin's mustache, but speech recognition will work resonably well. I can make word documents, but it will misunderstand me for words like "the article" instead of "this article". Minor things.
Also, if I open speech recognition and word, then read from the list of commands from the articulate wiki, atleast 95% of them will be correct.
github.com/Mpstark/articulate/wiki/Commands
And yes, I already ran "train speech recognition" or whatever it's called.
The only thing I can think of is if you aren't running Articulate as administrator which makes it is unable to inject commands to Arma. But you did say that it can't "understand you". Articulate should display spoken commands as text in the program window. If it does display the commands back to you, it is most certainly the run-as-admin thing.
I tryed that, I also uninstalled and installed it as admin. It registers one-nine, team and all but those were literally the only commands that it understood. Oh, and form echelon, which I didn't even know how to pronounce btw.
Oh, well that really stumped me then. I does sound like it should work. I can see why you are pulling your hair over it. :/
mine works for me quite well. This might not work for you or probably u'd already tried it, but what i did was, i made sure windows voice reg my commons arma commands, as most arma command has several varieties to them, so i just make sure i stick to only one common for each commands and that window voice reg got my most common ones correct. i check it via word pad by saying these command and make sure to correct them via "spell it" as windows voice reg rememmbers your correction. so when window voice reg got it right, i'll know my computer understands me. i'll switch to articulate and tweeks its setting till i get it right.
me sandman Like I said I looked at the list of commands, I read them, and Voice recognitin wrote them down perfectly. But CommandAI just won't work.
i would do it if the video wasnt 24 freaking minutes lol....
Isnt there an easy and quick way to explain it??? ill figure the rest myself. people are pretty dumb and need small talk (20 minutes of the total entire video).
Don't need the B.S
