Alright, I pushed a minor update to fix and prevent some things.

  • All chernarus maps will now use a single grid file and a single groups file to prevent confusion between various chernarus maps.
  • Commented out incompatible features till I can make them compatible with epoch.
  • Replaced arma 3 helicopter to use the epoch version for heli crashes.

Some things I am still working on:

  • Replacing basic arma 3 weapons/items/vests/uniforms with epoch versions.
  • The best method for UPSMON scripts.
  • Base guards to work with the epoch base objects.

Nice! Welcome Dango & thanks for bringing this over, I have many fond memories of this AI system from Dayz Epoch.

So far I can confirm that bandit kills are no longer reducing Karma so that is a huge step in the right direction. Thanks for pointing this out @Grahame

Essentially, yes it is. The code block for the supported maps is a bit old but for the most part the guide works the same.  Just no longer using the try/catch method for custom error handling. You need to create a mission, save it, add the sarge files and turn on all the debug options. Then save and reload the editor mission. Preview the mission and open the map. You will see the grid and then you adjust it in the files and keep reloading till it is where you want it.

Oh I see! The mission.sqm part was what was confusing me really. Imma give this a shot and see how it turns out on Bornholm! :)

I went ahead and pushed a very minor update 2.2.8 that now runs the UPSMON scripts from the mission PBO. This will no doubt increase the mission PBO size but will significantly increase the performance of the AI all around. I finally have some free time and I expect to push out another update with some much needed changes either today or tomorrow.

After hours of testing I have released 2.3.0. There was a major overhaul of the code placement and variables regarding loadout arrays. Changes are as follows:

- [Fix] Fixed a bug causing friendly AI to have head wraps.
- [New] AI women have been added to the spawn function.
- [Change] AI Skills decreased to 10% multiplied by a maximum of 2 bringing the highest possible skill level to 20%.
- [Change] AI loadout variable names were changed to a more uniform template to simplify the customization process.
- [Change] Major changes to code blocks and variables were done to make customizing more intuitive for server owners.
- [Change] AI are tied to nuisance, rewarding players an +10 points for bandit kills and -20 points for friendly kills.

Known Issues
    - Error Undefined variable in expression: upsmon_guer_total

@Sneer That building script has given errors before but usually for a reason. Perhaps that unit died while the script was unfinished. Does it spam or is it spread out?

As for the HC it does not require a special name to my knowledge but I notice the HC for this Epoch was somewhat...complicated. It looks for any entity with the string HC in the name. It uses the function 

isEqualTo

instead of a definitive operator. Are you having issues with it?

I think its working, I'm just not sure its working that's all. Also that error happens when in town, not sure if any town or always in town. and its not spamming though if there were a lot of connected clients in town I suppose it would spam.

I had some debug info on it previously but I removed it since it was basically working, spawned on the HC, or not, spawned on the server. So either way I was not worried about it flat out not spawning but perhaps it would be better to add that back in. I have a small loop script that will say the number of entities local to the HC. I will add it to the repo tonight after work. Basically it makes the system chat talk in the HC window. As for that error, I hang out in towns usually but I do not get that error or at least not enough to notice it. Maybe there is some incompatibility somewhere. What map are you using?

Had a bit of trouble last night with my server so I was unable to finish testing. I noticed that the module giving the error is FORTIFY. Are you spawning any static units that are using FORTIFY? If so you may be able to go to them in game and see if they are there and if they are doing anything like protecting a building.

Okay. The dynamic spawns do not use FORTIFY to my knowledge but I could have changed something along the way. The two mods shouldn't be able to see each other and cause issues but I guess anything is possible. I plan to setup a few static spawns with FORTIFY and see if I can figure out what is happening. In the meantime you could disable the A3EAI and see if you still see that error. I always recommend not to use Sarge with other AI systems to avoid conflict but really it should be fine.

Well, @Sneer I cannot seem to reproduce this for the life of me idk why. I have seen it before so I know it is not just a random bug. As far as I ever found out it is caused when the loop no longer has an AI object to run for. Generally from the unit being deleted if players are not close enough, if that unit dies or something else that causes the unit to 'disappear'. Look over the grps file in the map configs and be sure you have no static spawn using the FORTIFY module for UPSMON.

@natoed yeah this mod is like my hobby so it will continue till I am over scripting arma lol. If you have any suggestions I would be happy to hear them.
