I had no idea you could do that. I'm going to add this to my mission when I wake up. Also your English is good, so don't sweat it. It'd be pretty neat if you could have dynamic missions appear on the whiteboard, sort of like bounty contracts, where any player could view and accept them.
Salutations Thanks for the tutorial, but I do have a question. Is there a way to zoom it out a bit when you're in the strategic map? Using it in Cam Lao Nam makes it zoom in more than I'd like.
I replied to the same question before, so I'll just copy paste it here, it's a bit weird, but I hope it could help you ^^': I thought that there was a more easier way to do, but that's how I managed it! ^^': 1. Download and put these two scripts into your mission directory: pastebin.com/qXvkAmgj (Modified version of "BIS_fnc_moduleStrategicMapOpen") pastebin.com/3aJCySjk (Modified version of "BIS_fnc_openStrategicMap", which is used by the function above) I just added an extra parameter for the map scale and changed the value of how far you can zoom out: Default: 0 - 1, Now: 0 - 3. You can change these values by looking into the "openStrategicMap.sqf" file 2. In your mission you can execute the script by running: [modulename, zoomlevel] execVM "moduleStrategicMapModule.sqf"; For example: [openMapModule, 2] execVM "moduleStrategicMapModule.sqf"; In this case the strategic map should zoom further out. I hope I could help you! If anything's not working, just tell me and I'll try my best! ^^
@@Mixuray Thank you, appreciate it. And sorry for havin you repeat - it seems when I was on mobile I skimmed over the comment with the answer on it already! Lmfao
I've added the two scripts into my Mission Directory as per instruction as: OpenStrategicMap.sqf and openStrategicMapModule.sqf - but I am slightly confused on the second part of the instruction. I'm not quite proficient with scripting and the like, but am learning tho! To explain: I'm in the 3den Editor and testing out my scenario. Hitting ESC I put the --- [openMapModule, 2] execVM "moduleStrategicMapModule.sqf"; --- code in the debug console and hit localexec. What comes up is: Script moduleStrategicMapModule.sqf not found. Is there a place I should be inputting this rather than through the debug menu? Continuing, I assumed this must be a typo - so I change the "moduleStrategicMapModule.sqf" to "openStrategicMapModule.sqf" and instead, on the bottom, I get: No "strategic Map" module connected to "Open strategic Map" module (). But of course, I followed the video to the letter and I do have an Open Strat Map Module and Strat Map Module itself. Both connected.
Do you know how to use that mission marker "on activation" to trigger off a create task module? I want players to be able to select which task they get assigned from this map if possible.
You can try this: 1. In the "On Activation" Field of the Mission module you type something like "CreateTheTask = true;". 2. Put a simple trigger on the ground and sync it with the task module. 3. Type in the "Condition" field of the trigger "CreateTheTask == true;" Now if you click on the mission marker on the strategic map and click on "Proceed" it should create the task. I hope this could help you! ^^
Great tutorial. Do you know if there is a way to use markers on the map instead of the mission modules? I know that one of the map modules has a markers field. I want to simply show players points on the strategic map without giving them the option to teleport there. Thanks!
Hey there! So you want to use normal map markers to give players information about certain places on the strategic map? As far as I know that's not possible. sorry. :/ You can add map markers on your map and they'll be visible on the normal- and the strategic map. Marker texts will be hidden on the strategic map for some reason. The "Markers" field in the "Strategic Map" module allows you to make certain markers to be only visible on the strategic map and not on the regular map. Should you have more questions just hit me up on Discord

That was a custom syntax highlighting and auto completion plugin for Notepad++ that I downloaded from Armaholic. Now that Armaholic doesn't exist anymore, I don't know if you can still get it somewhere. I personally switched to Visual Studio Code where you can also get a nice plugin for SQF highlighting and auto completion.
This was fantastic! Amazing depth added to missions, thank you so much for this! :)
Thanks for your positive feedback, glad I could help you! ^^
Bruh, thank you very much! Love u for this tutorial
No problem! I'm glad I could help! ^^

What program are you using to change the SQF documents?
In this video I was using Notepad++ with the SQF addon but I've switched to Visual Studio Code with a SQF extension ^^
Do you know how to use that mission marker "on activation" to trigger off a create task module? I want players to be able to select which task they get assigned from this map if possible.
You can try this:
1. In the "On Activation" Field of the Mission module you type something like "CreateTheTask = true;".

How did you create that crossroad marker in your map? Great video btw.
Thank you! ^^
That marker is an ORBAT symbol, here's the Wiki page for it: community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_ORBAT_Viewer
Hope that helps ^^

How did you make that all BIS functions in notepad++ showed up?

yeah, sadly that armaholic got closed
You got my Subscription 😀👍
Thank you! :D
one of the worst tutorials I've seen. No notepad No loud music No windows Xp
Just kidding Great tutorial :)
Thanks! Now I know what I can do better in my next video! :D
