Arma 3 Camera

Curator is a technical name for Arma 3 Zeus game master system. Every involved scripting command, event handler or class name contains the name. The reason for it is to have a generic name which can be passed from project to project without any associations.

DESCRIPTION Hello fellow Arma 3 snappers!Today I'm going to show you my entire creative process from start to finish when I take ArmA 3 screenshots for ei. Smoothly conduct the changes that were assigned to a camera within the given time. If the time is set to zero, the changes are done immediately. For camPrepareXXX commands use camCommitPrepared. Syntax Syntax: camera camCommit time Parameters: camera: Object - object of type 'camera' time: Number - time in seconds during which the changes shall. The Enhanced Combat Helmet is a ballistic-resistant helmet used by both NATO forces and in limited numbers with CTRG operatives in ArmA 3. 1 Overview 2 Camouflage 3 Trivia 4 Gallery 5 See also Fitted with several rail-mounted accessories and a headset, the Enhanced Combat Helmet is an 'upgraded' model of the basic Combat Helmet worn by NATO infantrymen. It weighs a 'mass' of 50 units and is. Whenever I go into splendid camera from the mission editor's 'preview' option the focus slider doesn't do anything. The entire scene stays in focus regardless of where the slider is. I recall being able to use it previously, just this time it's not working. I've tried relaunching and different missions. EDIT: Resolved thanks to /u/sayge.

Setup

The central piece of every curator is Game Master module, otherwise referred to as Curator Logic. It stores every setting, like editing areas, available objects or their costs.

You can find the module in Modules (F7) > Zeus > Game Master

In module arguments, can set the curator unit (either specific unit, player with given UID or server admin) and that's all you need to add game master to your mission. Without any further settings, all objects will be available for free and whole map will be editable.

There can be multiple modules present in a mission, each with its own settings. As a result, you can have for example two competing curators, or a group of allied curators, each with different abilities.

In every examples on this page, we'll call the module myCurator.

Detailed module descriptions are available in the game after clicking on SHOW INFO button while editing a module.
Function descriptions can be accessed in game using Functions Viewer.
All curator related scripting commands can be found in the Curator command group.

Costs

Mission designer can assign cost to every object curator can interact with. The cost is applied when performing actions like placing, editing or deleting. It affects curator's resources - points - which are in range from 0 (no points) to 1 (full points; can't be larger than this value). The cost can be both negative and positive, so some actions can actually add points (e.g., deleting). Points can be adjusted by addCuratorPoints and returned using curatorPoints, or you can use Manage Resources module.

Points visualized in the curator interface

Costs for each entity type are calculated differently:

Object costs are defined in the event handler.
Modules are perceived as normal objects and are also defined in the handler.
Waypoint costs are set by setCuratorWaypointCost command.
Markers are always free.

Assigning

Manual

You can assign individual cost for every object in the game using CuratorObjectRegistered event handler. It's executed when player enters curator interface, so individual values cannot be changed on the fly. However, you can still tweak costs using action coefficients and available objects by unlocking addons.

Arguments passed into the handler are:

curator: Object
input: Array of Strings - all CfgVehicles classes

Expected returned value is an Array of Arrays of the same size as the input array, with each item belonging to a class with the same array index. Missing or incorrect values will be replaced by default [true,0,0].

Input: [string1, string2, string3, .. classN]
Output: [array1, array2, array3, .. arrayN]

Example:

Input (3 classes): ['B_Soldier_F', 'B_MRAP_01_F', 'ModuleLightning_F']
Output (3 arrays with settings): [[true,0.1], [true,0.5,0.6], [false,0,0]]

Every item in the array is in the following format:

show: Boolean - true to let the object appear in the CREATE list, false to hide it (costs will still be accepted if an object of the type is already present in the mission and made editable)
cost: Number - cost of the object
costWithCrew (Optional): Number - cost of the object with crew in it (affects only vehicles). When undefined, normal cost is used.

Example of the whole event handler:

Alternatively, you can set cost of specific objects by BIS_fnc_curatorObjectRegistered, with crew costs calculated automatically based on vehicle cost + cost of all crew members.

When the function is executed multiple times, results are combined together.
- Example:
  - Show value of an object has to be true in all instances (e.g., one false will hide the object)
  - Cost values are multiplied together (e.g., one 0 will set the cost to 0)

Using Cost Tables

Cost table preview

There's a scripted function which will export all objects from specified addons into spreadsheet format, where you can define individual costs and see additional data, like how many objects can be build at one or how long will it take to 'recharge' points until the object is available. The table also automatically calculates costs of vehicles with crew and of whole groups. As such, it is invaluable tool for balancing curator missions.

Steps how to create the table:

Call BIS_fnc_exportCuratorCostTable to generate the table based on given addons into clipboard
Example:[['A3_Characters_F_BLUFOR','A3_Soft_F_MRAP_01'],'ods'] spawn bis_fnc_exportCuratorCostTable;
Run OpenOffice Calc (or Microsoft Excel; use 'xls' as a second param when calling the functions, as both programs are using different formula formatting)
Paste the generated text into the spreadsheet

Now when the table is generated, you can assign specific costs to each objects and watch how it affects vehicles and groups involving the object./

Class names in the second column leads to Arma 3 Assets page with further details, like weapons or magazines the object can carry.
Display names in the third column are links directly to object preview images.

When finished, export the result into the game by following these steps:

Arma 3 Camera

Scroll down to 'Export' field
Copy all cells between // Generated by bis_fnc_exportCuratorCostTable and the document end.
Example:// Generated by BIS_fnc_exportCuratorCostTable// [['A3_Characters_F_BLUFOR','A3_Soft_F_MRAP_01'],'ods'] call BIS_fnc_exportCuratorCostTable;_BLUFOR_A3_Characters_F_BLUFOR = ['B_Soldier_GL_F',1,'B_soldier_AR_F',1,'B_Soldier_TL_F',1,'B_soldier_LAT_F',1,,0];_BLUFOR_A3_Soft_F_MRAP_01 = ['B_MRAP_01_F',3,,0];_BLUFOR = _BLUFOR_A3_Characters_F_BLUFOR + _BLUFOR_A3_Soft_F_MRAP_01 + [];
Import the result in the game again using BIS_fnc_curatorObjectRegisteredTable
Example:

Action Coefficients

Once you assigned cost to every object, you can now use it for every action curator can perform.

Texting shorthand for older folks talking. If some object, for example BLUFOR soldier 'B_Soldier_F' from the previous example, will have assigned cost 0.1, cost for placing will be:
