Can we have a function in setup to turn off drones please?

[Badgerator]

I'm running a Panthera server and using custom AI, the balance between AI encounters would be perfect if I could just turn off drones. In the midst of a battle with AI having a drone turn up is just too much. The frequency of drones appearing even in vanilla is FAR TOO HIGH, please let us disable this feature.

Thanks

Arma 2 drones. Sweetness!

Moved to general discussion :)

If you run the other antihack it has the option to disable UAV's. You could also just write a script to do it so several ways to accomplish this.

Put this in your mission init.sqf and adjust it to how you want it

 

// Control the epoch ai limit per player
// 1. Epoch_Cloak_F = Cultist
// 2. GreatWhite_F = Great White Shark
// 3. Epoch_Sapper_F = Regular Sapper
// 4. Epoch_SapperB_F = Super Sapper (dark)
// 5. I_UAV_01_F = UAV (that spawns the AI)
// 6. PHANTOM = Invisible phantom 
// 7. B_Heli_Transport_01_F = Transport helicopter for the mission system

EPOCH_spawnLimits = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0];

You can also change some of the chances in "a3_epoch_server_settings\configs\loots.h"

 

If you look for "UAV" you can drop the spawn chances there.

EPOCH_spawnLimits = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0];

 

This is the only way to deactivate the "anti-camp" drones..

Some servers turned off drones and sapper and put roaming AI on instead.

 

I personally think that was a good decision for them to do that.. way more realistic.

I've used PBO Manager for years without issues.

Any idea what the parameters are for this? It'd be nice to turn UAVs down, but not off entirely, and I assume 0 = off.

Currently playing on MGT, and they've completely turned off the antagonists. The result is brilliant gameplay. It's much better without them in my opinion. However, I would like something that told of your presence in the world, a little like the zombies do in Dayz mod.

I think they are just boolean, ie. 1 on 0 off with nothing between.

It is the number of antagonists that can spawn per player, so EPOCH_spawnLimits = [0, 0, 0, 0, 5, 0, 0]; allows only UAVs but up to 5 can spawn on each player.

This is the default: EPOCH_spawnLimits = [1, 2, 2, 1, 2, 1, 1];
