Very useful Arma 3 code for mods and missions.

by

A code sample that creates a weapon box with some ammo. Just change the class names to add a weapon of your choice to this box.

class cfgVehicles
{
	class Thing;
	class ThingX;
	class ReammoBox;
	class Strategic;
	class EAST_Box_Base;
	class NATO_Box_Base;
	class Railgun_Transport_Box: EAST_Box_Base
	{
		scope = 2;
		vehicleClass = "Ammo";
		displayName = "Railgun Box";
		editorPreview = "\A3\EditorPreviews_F\Data\CfgVehicles\Box_East_Wps_F.jpg";
		model = "\A3\weapons_F\AmmoBoxes\WpnsBox_F";
		hiddenSelections[] = {"Camo_Signs","Camo"};
		hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"A3\Weapons_F\Ammoboxes\data\AmmoBox_signs_OPFOR_CA.paa","A3\Weapons_F\Ammoboxes\data\AmmoBox_OPFOR_CO.paa"};
		icon = "iconCrateWpns";
		transportMaxWeapons = 4;
		transportMaxMagazines = 48;
		class TransportMagazines
		{
			class _xx_10Rnd_Railgun_Mag
			{
				magazine = "10Rnd_Railgun_Mag";
				count = 24;
			};
		};
		class TransportWeapons
		{
			class _xx_srifle_DMR_02_F
			{
				weapon = "srifle_DMR_02_F";
				count = 4;
			};
		};
	};
};

This code when put in the init of an object 500m up will light up an entire base. Very good for dark night-time missions, if you wish the base to be visible.

light = "#lightpoint" createVehicle getPos this;
light setLightBrightness 26.0;
light setLightAmbient [3.0, 2.0, 3.0];
light setLightColor [0.0, 1.0, 0.0];
light lightAttachObject [this, [0,0,0]];

Play some music when a player joins the server, then greet them with some information. Put this code into the initPlayerLocal.sqf file.

3 fademusic 0.5;
//--- Play random music
_track = ["AmbientTrack01a_F_Tacops","AmbientTrack01b_F_Tacops","AmbientTrack02a_F_Tacops","AmbientTrack02b_F_Tacops","AmbientTrack03a_F_Tacops","AmbientTrack03b_F_Tacops","AmbientTrack04a_F_Tacops","AmbientTrack04b_F_Tacops","EventTrack01a_F_Tacops","Wasteland","Fallout","Defcon","MAD","SkyNet","Track08_Night_ambient","Track07_ActionDark","EventTrack01_F_Orange","ambienttrack01_f_exp","ambienttrack01a_f_exp","ambienttrack01b_f_exp","ambienttrack02_f_exp","ambienttrack02a_f_exp","ambienttrack02b_f_exp","ambienttrack02c_f_exp","ambienttrack02d_f_exp","leadtrack01_f_exp","leadtrack01a_f_exp","leadtrack01b_f_exp","leadtrack01c_f_exp","leadtrack02_f_exp","leadtrack03_f_exp","leadtrack04_f_exp"] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;
 
//--- Play memory music
playmusic _track;
 
addmusiceventhandler [
	"MusicStop", {
		[player call BIS_fnc_locationDescription, str(date select 1) + "." + str(date select 2) + "." + str(date select 0), str(groupId (group player))] spawn BIS_fnc_infoText;
 
		[WEST,"HQ"] sideChat format ["Hello %1, welcome to the server. You are in group: %2. You are playing: %3 on %4.", name player, str(groupId (group player)),str productVersion, str(worldName)];
	}
];

How to disable the load and save buttons on the arsenal. Put this code into the initPlayerLocal.sqf file.

[ missionNamespace, "arsenalOpened", {
    disableSerialization;
    _display = _this select 0;
    {
        ( _display displayCtrl _x ) ctrlSetText "Disabled";
        ( _display displayCtrl _x ) ctrlSetTextColor [ 1, 0, 0, 0.5 ];
        ( _display displayCtrl _x ) ctrlRemoveAllEventHandlers "buttonclick";
    }forEach [ 44146, 44147 ];
} ] call BIS_fnc_addScriptedEventHandler;

Spawn an interesting decoration in your base.

_posnew10 = getpos can9;
_sol4 = createSimpleObject ["a3\air_f_beta\Heli_Transport_02\Main_Rotor_center_F.p3d", _posnew10];
_sol4 setPos [_posnew10 select 0, _posnew10 select 1, 0.4];

Spawn a Mohawk helicopter wreck.

//spawn AW101 Merlin wreck.
_posnew4 = getpos junk9;
_sol5 = createSimpleObject ["a3\air_f_beta\Heli_Transport_02\Heli_Transport_02_wreck_F.p3d", _posnew4];
_sol5 setPos [_posnew4 select 0, _posnew4 select 1, 0.9];

Some nice code to greet the player when they join the server. This code prints information about the player`s weapon when they join the server. As well as other stuff. This is quite nice.

// Prepare variables.
 
private ["_pname","_picture","_color"];
 
// Customize hint colors.
_color = "#FFCC33";
_pname = name player;
 
// Grab image of players primary weapon. 
_picture = getText (configFile >> "cfgWeapons" >> primaryWeapon player >> "picture");
_gun = getText (configFile >> "cfgWeapons" >> primaryWeapon player >> "displayName");
_gunInfo = getText (configFile >> "cfgWeapons" >> primaryWeapon player >> "descriptionShort");
 
hint parseText format["
	Welcome soldier! <br/> <t size='1.0' color='#668CFF'>%1</t> <br/>
	Operation Silent Spring.<br/>
	Your fight has begun.<br/>
	Get your gear ready and get into battle.!<br/>
	You currently have a: %2.<br/>
	%5.<br/>
	<t color='%4'><img size='4' image='%3'/></t>",
	_pname, _gun, _picture, _color, _gunInfo
];

This code placed in the initServer.sqf file will create a custom location in your base.

_location = createLocation [ "NameLocal" , [28305.7,25753.9,0.000669479], 100, 100];
_location setText "CSAT FOB.";

Very useful to personalize the base. This allows CSAT FOB to be a respawn location.

Spawn a machine gun and one guy to man it.

// Spawning a MG guy near tower.
 
_randPos3 = [_randPos2, 1, 60, 3, 0, 20, 0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos;
 
_mg = createVehicle ["O_HMG_01_high_F", _randPos3, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
 
_mgguy = [_randPos3, EAST, ["O_Soldier_F"],[],[],[],[],[],232] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;
 
((units _mgguy) select 0) moveInGunner _mg;
