How do I remove Player Position?

[milansubzero]

Hey,

 

A few players on my server wanted me to remove Cross-hairs and Player positions on the map, I had tried to do this however I couldn't manage to do it successfully.

 

So can anyone tell me the correct method of doing this?

 

Thanks,

Milan

Hello,

 

Change your mission difficulty to Veteran or Mercenary in your config.cfg file

[nedfox]

Mercenary also disables 3rd person.

 

If you don't want that :

 

Goto SC\Users\<PROFILENAME_FROM_SERVER.CMD>

 

In there is a file called <PROFILENAME_FROM_SERVER.CMD>.Arma3Profile

Open in notepad

 

Add :  WeaponCursor=0;

In the {Veteran}  part.

 

So like :

 

class veteran
{
  class Flags
  {
   Armor=0;
   FriendlyTag=1;
   EnemyTag=0;
   MineTag=0;
   HUD=1;
   HUDWp=1;
   HUDWpPerm=1;
   HUDGroupInfo=1;
   AutoSpot=0;
   WeaponCursor=0;
   ClockIndicator=1;
   3rdPersonView=1;
   UltraAI=0;
   CameraShake=0;
   DeathMessages=1;
   NetStats=1;
   VonID=1;
   ExtendetInfoType=0;
  };
  skillFriendly=1;
  skillEnemy=1;
  precisionFriendly=1;
  precisionEnemy=1;
};

 

Safe file. Restart Server.

 

So in combination with Veteran (and 3rd person) is still disables your weapon cursor.

1 more happy admin.. Sorted him via PM's, was a typo in the config.cfg file.

Sorry to necro but quick question.  Is there a way to report a player's positions on the map if, and only if, they have a GPS equipped?

Hello,

 

Change your mission difficulty to Veteran or Mercenary in your config.cfg file

 

where exactly is config.cfg ?

 

edit ; I got it I was looking for config.cfg.and this is  arma3/config/user/arma3/arma3.ArmA3Profile . That's right ?  There I turn off the player marker and crosshair ?

[tomasz73]

I changed to 0 in arma3/config/user/arma3/arma3.ArmA3Profile . But the crosshair can be seen all the time

can someone tell me how to change and where exactly to look for

[tomasz73]

I do not have Config.cfg in arma3 / config. but  server.cfg.and there changed on veteran


// MISSIONS CYCLE
class Missions {
class ARMA3 {
template = epoch.Chernarus;
difficulty = "Veteran";
};
};

after tem changed little in arma3/config/usersarma3/arma3.ArmA3Profile 


class Veteran
{
class Flags
{
Armor=0;
FriendlyTag=1;
EnemyTag=0;
HUD=1;
HUDPerm=1;
HUDWp=1;
HUDWpPerm=1;
WeaponCursor=0;
AutoAim=0;
AutoGuideAT=0;
3rdPersonView=1;
ClockIndicator=1;
Map=0;
Tracers=1;
AutoSpot=0;
UltraAI=0;
DeathMessages=1;
NetStats=1;
VonID=1;
};
skillFriendly=0.74999999;
skillEnemy=0.74999999;
precisionFriendly=0.75;
precisionEnemy=0.75;
};

but it still has crosshair . I do not know where to change

Shut down the server, before You edit the files.

Make sure You edit the right ***.arma3profile file.

[tomasz73]

thanks 

KiloSwiss

. Now it works. previously I was doing only restarting the server. And now I stopped the server and then I  changed the files.

[KiloSwiss]

You're welcome.

 

My friendly advice: Always do it this way.

Some files can be edited/replaced, but some files (including most config files) are "locked" as long as the server runs.

 

I always used a FTP client to download the files I want to edit.

Then edited them on my PC and uploaded those files back to the server during server restarts (do a manual shutdown, upload, start).

i guess this is solved, so a joke is in order here:

 

to remove a player postion:

diag_log "Removing a player position ...";

_pos = position player;
{_pos deleteAt 0}forEach _pos;
_pos = nil;

diag_log "player position removed ...";

:lol:

[KiloSwiss]

_pos = position player;

{_pos set [_forEachIndex, nil]}forEach _pos;
//OR
_pos deleteRange [0, (count _pos -1)];

//OR PROBABLY JUST
_pos resize 0;

btw.

If you set _pos to nil, this makes all previous operations obsolete.

Have fun :)
