Arma 3 scripting tricks and samples for making missions.

Detect if a player has the APEX DLC.

if (395180 in getDLCs 1) then {
	(_this select 0) ctrlsettext '\a3\Ui_f\Data\Logos\arma3apex_white_ca.paa';
};

Remove all NVG goggles and weapons from enemies.

{ if (side _x == east) then {
	_x unassignItem "NVGoggles";
	_x removeItem "NVGoggles";
	removeallweapons _x;
};
} foreach allunits;

Spawn a nice sandbagged area with a few static guns emplaced within. This is good for spawning a defense area in an enemy controlled zone.

This code will spawn an ammo dump that players can find. A nice addition to any mission.

How to add an option to the player`s ACE3 interaction menu to enable them to get help with ace features, or to run any other code.

// Adding an action to Ace3 to get help with ace features.
 
myaction = ['Help dialog','Mission Help','',{null = [] spawn KER_fnc_help;},{true}] call ace_interact_menu_fnc_createAction;
[player, 1, ["ACE_SelfActions"], myaction] call ace_interact_menu_fnc_addActionToObject;

This is one very useful scripting sample, this would allow a player to run code that shows a help dialog, or anything you wish.

Put this code into the initServer.sqf file to make AAF forces enemies of BLUFOR.

Resistance setFriend [East, 1];
East setFriend [Resistance, 1];

Spawn some trees as simple objects in your mission.

//spawn coral in the editor.
_posnew14 = [11527.8,17800.4,0];
_sol15 = createSimpleObject ["a3\plants_f\Bush\bw_SetBig_Brains_F.p3d", _posnew14]; 
_sol15 setPos [_posnew14 select 0, _posnew14 select 1, 0.7];
 
// Spawn a tree.
_pos2 = [11642.7,17828.9,0]; 	//define a position, close to player
_tree2 = createSimpleObject ["a3\plants_f\Tree\t_BroussonetiaP1s_F.p3d", _pos2];
_tree2 setPos [_pos2 select 0, _pos2 select 1,7];	//trees spawn below ground, so we move it up by 8 m
 
// Spawn a tree.
_pos3 = [11638.9,17782.6,-3.05176e-005]; 	//define a position, close to player
_tree2 = createSimpleObject ["a3\plants_f\Tree\t_FraxinusAV2s_F.p3d", _pos3];
_tree2 setPos [_pos3 select 0, _pos3 select 1,7];	//trees spawn below ground, so we move it up by 8 m
 
_pos = [12168.7,17343.1,0]; 	//define a position, close to player
_tree = createSimpleObject ["a3\plants_f\Tree\t_QuercusIR2s_F.p3d", _pos]; 
_tree setPos [_pos select 0, _pos select 1,19];	//trees spawn below ground, so we move it up by 8 m
