=== Spawning player group AI members after persistent save ===
 +
 +
If you use the ALiVE saving feature one 'issue' is that AI members in the player's group do not get saved or restored.  If they are editor-placed units then they will spawn at their original editor start location instead of wherever the player is.  To work around this do the following:
 +
 +
Place the following code at the bottom of your mission's init.sqf file:
 +
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
 +
waituntil {(player getvariable ["alive_sys_player_playerloaded",false])};
 +
sleep 2;
 +
{
 +
if !(isPlayer _x) then {
 +
if !(_x getVariable ["Persistent_Teleport", false]) then {
 +
_x setPos (getPos player);
 +
_x setVariable ["Persistent_Teleport", true, true];
 +
sleep .5;
 +
};
 +
};
 +
} forEach units group player;

=== Captured Units and ALiVE ===
 +
 +
This will prevent captured prisoners from de-spawning in a trigger area and lower their hostility every 60 minutes (de-spawning bit only works for ACE handcuffs, to use a different system it would have to be replaced)
 +
 +
paste code in init.sqf and replace `prison_marker_or_trigger_name` with the name of a marker or trigger with a size overlapping the area

=== Finding if a particular profiled unit is alive ===
 +
 +
"Any way I can detect whether he is alive when he is profiled but not actually spawned?"
 +
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
 +
sb_fnc_profileExists = {
 +
    private _profileID = _this;
 +
 +
    private _profile = [ALiVE_sysProfile,"getProfile", _profileID] call ALiVE_fnc_hashGet;
 +
 +
    !(isnil "_profile")
 +
};
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 +
You can determine the profileID using many ways. If you create the profile directly using one of our functions listed on the wiki then it will return either the profileID or the profile hash which can be used to grab the ID. You can also use our ALiVE_fnc_getNearProfiles directly on the man's position and give it a small radius so it only finds the desired profile.
 +
If you have the unit object after the unit has been profiled already, you can grab the ID of the profile he belongs to using:
 +
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
 +
private _unitObject = ...;
 +
private _profileID = _unitObject getvariable ["profileID", ""];

Detect Virtual Units (Profiles) in a Trigger Area

Will be true if there are virtualized AI groups of side EAST (string) within 50 mtrs of the triggers position EAST

((count ([getposATL thisTrigger, 50, ["EAST","entity"]] call ALIVE_fnc_getNearProfiles)) > 0);

Will be true if there are virtualized vehicles of side EAST (string) within 500 mtrs of trigger position EAST

((count ([getposATL thisTrigger, 500, ["EAST","vehicle"]] call ALIVE_fnc_getNearProfiles)) > 0);

Example: Place this line of code in the condition field of an end mission (f.e. lose) trigger, optionally with timeout. It will fire when there are virtualized groups in the selected area (for a certain amount of time). It doesnt matter if they are spawned or not.


Profiling all non profiled units on the map

You can trigger the profiler to profile all non profiled units (handy for MCC and Zeus or scripts that spawn units during gameplay). This function needs to be called on the server locality after a short pause to enable ALiVE to finish initialising: 

if (isServer) then {
    [] spawn {
        while {true} do {
            sleep 60;
            [] call ALiVE_fnc_createProfilesFromUnitsRuntime;
        };
    };
};


Adding Custom Inits to Spawned Units

The following is one method for adding custom scripts to every spawned unit or object of that class, for example running a script that adds custom gear to a class of units. This will work for units spawned with MP/MCP, the Profiles system and any other spawning method such as Zeus.

HEALTH WARNING: you will need to know the basics of scripting to setup the gear script so it only applies to AI (and not players) or specific factions. Place the following in description.ext and create my_code.sqf with whatever code you want to add to the spawned units. Also be aware that anything added to player units will duplicate if player persistence is on, so it's better to use regular methods for players (or include isPlayer check in your script). 


class Extended_Init_EventHandlers {
 class Man {
  init = "_this call (compile preprocessFileLineNumbers 'my_script.sqf')";
 };
};


This is an example my_script.sqf thanks to SpyderBlack723 on the BI Forums: 

private "_this";
_this = _this select 0;
 
if ((side _this == west) and (!isPlayer _this)) then {
  removeallweapons _this;
  removeGoggles _this;removeHeadgear _this;removeVest _this;removeUniform _this;removeAllAssignedItems _this;removeBackpack _this;
  _this addHeadgear 'Helmet_ACU';_this addUniform 'Uniform_ACU';_this addVest 'Vest_ACU';_this addBackPack 'ACU_Backpack';
 { _this addItemToBackpack"rhs_mag_30Rnd_556x45_M855A1_Stanag"; } forEach [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17,18, 19, 20, 21];
 { _this addItemToBackpack "rhs_mag_m67"; } forEach [1, 2, 3, 4];
 { _this addItemToBackpack "SmokeShell"; } forEach [1, 2, 3, 4];
 { _this addItem "FirstAidKit"; } forEach [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
 _this addweapon 'rhs_m4_grip_acog';_this addPrimaryWeaponItem 'rhsusf_acc_ACOG';_this linkItem "ItemMap";
};


Profile Counter

Great for debugging your missions. Counts all profiles for all sides. 

if (isServer) then {
	_profilesBySide = [ALiVE_profileHandler,"profilesBySide"] call ALIVE_fnc_hashGet;
	_profilesBySide = _profilesBySide select 2;
 
	systemchat format ["Profile Count OPFOR - %1", count (_profilesBySide select 0)];
	systemchat format ["Profile Count BLUFOR - %1", count (_profilesBySide select 1)];
	systemchat format ["Profile Count INDEPENDANT - %1", count (_profilesBySide select 2)];
};


Spawning player group AI members after persistent save

If you use the ALiVE saving feature one 'issue' is that AI members in the player's group do not get saved or restored. If they are editor-placed units then they will spawn at their original editor start location instead of wherever the player is. To work around this do the following:

Place the following code at the bottom of your mission's init.sqf file: 

waituntil {(player getvariable ["alive_sys_player_playerloaded",false])};
sleep 2;
{
	if !(isPlayer _x) then {
		if !(_x getVariable ["Persistent_Teleport", false]) then {
			_x setPos (getPos player);
			_x setVariable ["Persistent_Teleport", true, true];
			sleep .5;
		};
	};
} forEach units group player;

OPCOM

Add a Custom OPCOM Objective

This will register a position as an objective to all OPCOMs in the current mission. 

Parameters:
 
select 0: _id (String);
select 1: _position (Array);
select 2: _size (Integer);
select 3: _type (String of "MIL" or "CIV");
select 4: _priority (Integer);
 
Code:
 
if (isServer) then {{[_x,"addObjective", ["OPCOM_custom_1", [25657.2,22175.8,0.00129318], 100, "MIL", 200] ] call ALiVE_fnc_OPCOM; } foreach OPCOM_INSTANCES};

Example: Place these lines of code (without the comments) in the on activation field of a "detected by..."-trigger (500mtrs radius). As the trigger fires your base will be registered to all OPCOMs, who will then send troops there (either to attack or defend). You can use these in combination with triggers and tasks. For example if you are detected by a trigger within a certain radius of your base, your base will be registered to OPCOM! OPCOMs will send their troops there and if you don't manage to defend your base the mission will fail.

This little gem comes from Cameroon on the BI Forum. It enables you to set a custom objective on the fly for one side only. The first parameter is an array that is passed straight to ALiVE_fnc_OPCOM - set it as you would when calling addObjective. The second argument is an array of strings for the factions that should get the objective.

It's worth noting that the OPCOM may not immediately notice the new objective and of course it's still prioritized so there might not be any units to send. Also, if you have a marker with the same name as the first argument ("opfoComRetake_obj"), ALIVE will take it over. It is recommended that you do not use a marker name same as the objective name.

Example:[["opforComRetake_obj", getMarkerPos "opforComRetake", 200,"MIL"],["EAST"]] call cjb_addObjectiveToSides; 

cjb_addObjectiveToSides = {
	private["_objectiveParams","_factions","_faction","_opcom","_opcomSide"];
	_objectiveParams = _this select 0;
	_factions = _this select 1;
	{
		_opcom = _x;
		{
			_faction = _x;
			_opcomSide = [_opcom,"side",""] call ALiVE_fnc_HashGet;
 
			if( _opcomSide == _faction) then {
				[_opcom, "addObjective", _objectiveParams] call ALiVE_fnc_OPCOM;
			};
		} forEach _factions;
	} forEach OPCOM_INSTANCES;
};

Assign a Custom Group & Vehicle to OPCOM

[your_editor_unit, your_editor_vehicle] spawn ALiVE_fnc_createProfileVehicleAssignment

Can either have an object or a hash passed to it. Note that if OPCOM already has enough groups it may take some time until it uses the newly assigned groups.

For example: 

_customVehicleAssignments = [[leader1,vehicle1]];
{
  _leader = _x select 0;
  _vehicle = _x select 1;
  _group = group _leader;
  [_group, _vehicle, true] call ALIVE_fnc_vehicleAssignGroup;
} forEach _customVehicleAssignments;
};


Jump To The Action!

ALiVE_fnc_JoinNearestGroup will select the most important objective that is currently being attacked/defended by your forces and join you to an AI group that is on an assault or defend mission. This will send you directly into the action! Execute the function locally on any player client. Possible params are "attacking" or "defending". 

[player,"attacking"] call ALiVE_fnc_OPCOMjoinNearestGroup

ALiVE_fnc_OPCOMJoinObjective will display all objectives that are currently being attacked/defended, lets you select the objective of choice and HALO drops your group to an AI group that is currently ordered to assault/defend this objective! Execute the function locally on any player client. Possible params are "attacking" or "defending". 

[player,"attacking"] call ALiVE_fnc_OPCOMjoinObjective

Example: put in the Init field of a unit or object in editor 

this addAction ["Select Assault Mission",{[_this select 1,"attacking"] call ALiVE_fnc_OPCOMJoinObjective},[],1,false,true,"","true"];

Compositions

Add Custom Roadblock to Civ placement

1.0 Release includes the ability to add custom roadblocks. Define your custom roadblocks at init on the server: 

ALIVE_compositions_roadblocks = ["YOUR_ROADBLOCK_CLASS1","YOUR_ROADBLOCK_CLASS2",etc];

Spawning a Custom Composition via Script

Use the following function: 


Function: ALIVE_fnc_spawnRandomPopulatedComposition
 
Description:
Spawn a composition
Spawns a random populated composition
 
Parameters:
Position - Array
Type - String - Civilian, Military, Guerrilla
Category - String
    Civilian Categories - airports, checkpointsbarricades, construction, constructionSupplies, communications, fuel, general, heliports, industrial, marine, mining_oil, power, rail, settlements
    Guerrilla Categories - camps, checkpointsbarricades, constructionsupplies, commnunications, fieldhq, fort, fuel, hq, marine, medical, outposts, power, supports
    Military Categories - airports, camps, checkpointsbarricades, constructionsupplies, communications, crashsites, fieldhq, fort, fuel, heliports, hq, marine, medical, outposts, power, supports, supplies
Faction - String (OPTIONAL)
Size - String (Large, Medium, Small, ANY)
Infantry groups - Integer (OPTIONAL)
Mot Groups - Integer (OPTIONAL)
Mech Groups - Integer (OPTIONAL)
Armoured Groups - Integer (OPTIONAL)
SpecOps Groups - Integer (OPTIONAL)
 
Returns: None
 
Examples:
 
// spawn a small fortification composition with 2 OPF_F groups
_result = [_position, "Military", "Fort", "OPF_F", "Small", 2] call ALIVE_fnc_spawnRandomPopulatedComposition;

Modules

Wait for Player Persistence to Initialise

Will wait until the persistent data of a player has been loaded (place in init.sqf f.e.)

waituntil {(player getvariable ["alive_sys_player_playerloaded",false])};

Example: Use this in init.sqf if you have a player-depended scripts and use "player persistence";

Pausing Modules

Use the following code on the server to pause and un pause modules completely. Pausing sys_profile will stop all simulation of profiles, and prevent spawning / despawning. Pausing OPCOM will stop OPCOM from issuing orders and running battlefield analysis. Pausing civ_population will stop all civilian AI commands and prevent spawning / despawning.

Pause and unpause the profile system 

["ALIVE_SYS_PROFILE"] call ALiVE_fnc_pauseModule;
 
["ALIVE_SYS_PROFILE"] call ALiVE_fnc_unPauseModule;

Pause and unpause a whole lot of modules 

["ALIVE_SYS_PROFILE","ALIVE_MIL_OPCOM","ALIVE_AMB_CIV_POPULATION","ALIVE_MIL_LOGISTICS","ALIVE_SYS_AISKILL"] call ALiVE_fnc_pauseModule;
 
["ALIVE_SYS_PROFILE","ALIVE_MIL_OPCOM","ALIVE_AMB_CIV_POPULATION","ALIVE_MIL_LOGISTICS","ALIVE_SYS_AISKILL"] call ALiVE_fnc_unPauseModule;


This is an example script from dixon13 on our forums for automatically pausing OPCOM when players disconnect using initServer.sqf (see BI Community Wiki for further details on using init event scripts) 

["someId", "onPlayerConnected", {
	if (({isPlayer _x} count playableUnits) > 0 || OPCOM_TOGGLE) then { ["ALIVE_MIL_OPCOM"] call ALiVE_fnc_unPauseModule; OPCOM_TOGGLE = false; };
}] call BIS_fnc_addStackedEventHandler;
 
["someId", "onPlayerDisconnected", {
	if ( ({isPlayer _x} count playableUnits) == 0 ) then { ["ALIVE_MIL_OPCOM"] call ALiVE_fnc_pauseModule; OPCOM_TOGGLE = true; };
}] call BIS_fnc_addStackedEventHandler;

Adjust Logistics Force Pool

Military Logistics and the Player Resupply module both work from the Global Force Pool to establish the allowed reinforcement levels for a faction. You can adjust this value on the fly in your own missions to add or remove from the global force pool. If running on a dedicated server, this must be performed on the server side only. 

if(isServer) then {
 
	// example: get the global force pool count for the BLU_F faction
        _currentBLUFORForcepool = [ALIVE_globalForcePool,"BLU_F"] call ALIVE_fnc_hashGet;
 
        // example: alter the current BLU_F force pool
        [ALIVE_globalForcePool,"BLU_F",20] call ALIVE_fnc_hashSet;
 
};

Adjust Force Size post init

Specify side (side== xxxx) and number of each group/profile type. Fire the code via script, trigger etc and the OPCOM will now have force cap set to those values and bring in "replacements" to get up to strength. 

{
    private _side = [_x, "side", ""] call ALIVE_fnc_hashGet;
 
    if (_side == "WEST") then {
        [
            _x,
            "startForceStrength",
            [
                0, // Infantry
                0, // Motorized
                0, // Mechanized
                0, // Armored
                0, // Artillery
                0, // AAA
                0, // Air
                0  // Sea
            ]
        ] call ALIVE_fnc_hashSet;
    };
} forEach OPCOM_INSTANCES;

Add Custom Variables to ALiVE Database

0.9.8 Release includes the ability to save and retrieve custom values to the ALiVE database using the following funcs: 

["key", _value] call ALiVE_fnc_setData
_value = ["key"] call ALiVE_fnc_getData

Adding CAS units post-init

[_type, _settings] call ALiVE_fnc_combatSupportAdd;
 
_type     - The type of combat support, can be "CAS", "TRANSPORT" or "ARTY"
_settings - Array of settings

Removing CAS units post-init

[_side,_type,_callsign] call ALiVE_fnc_combatSupportRemove;

Example: 

["WEST","CAS","EAGLE ONE"] call ALiVE_fnc_combatSupportRemove;
 
["WEST","TRANSPORT","VICTOR 1"] Call ALiVE_fnc_combatSupportRemove;

Third Party Scripts

Disable VCOM_AI

Globally disable VCOM_AI for Air units including Combat Support and Logistics. Put the following in init.sqf 

[{{Driver _x setvariable ["NOAI",true];} foreach (vehicles select {_x isKindOf 'air'});}, 1, []] call CBA_fnc_addPerFrameHandler;

Since VCOM 3.0 you may have to use this instead (in the units init field): 

(group this) setVariable ["Vcm_Disable",true];

Other

Snippets taken from ALiVE forum posts

Note that these are not guaranteed to work and may be outdated.


Captured Units and ALiVE

This will prevent captured prisoners from de-spawning in a trigger area and lower their hostility every 60 minutes (de-spawning bit only works for ACE handcuffs, to use a different system it would have to be replaced)

paste code in init.sqf and replace `prison_marker_or_trigger_name` with the name of a marker or trigger with a size overlapping the area 

if (isServer) then {
    ["ace_captiveStatusChanged", {
        params ["_unit", "_state", "_reason"];
 
        if ((getPos _unit) inArea prison_marker_or_trigger_name) then {
            _unit setVariable ["detained", true, true];
        };
    }] call CBA_fnc_addEventHandler;
 
    [{
        [getPos prison_marker_or_trigger_name, [side player], -10] call ALIVE_fnc_updateSectorHostility;
    }, 3600, []] call CBA_fnc_addPerFrameHandler;
};

Detecting ALiVE Events

Possible Usage: Reward system for players


Example 1: 


SAV_fnc_taskSucceeded = {
    params ["_logic", "_operation", "_args"];
 
    switch (_operation) do {
        case "handleEvent": {
            // do your reward stuff here
            // task data is in _args
        };
    };
};
 
private _listener = [nil, "create"] call ALIVE_fnc_baseClass;
_listener setVariable ["class", SAV_fnc_taskSucceeded];
 
private _listenerID = [ALIVE_eventLog, "addListener", [_listener, ["TASK_SUCCEEDED"]]] call ALIVE_fnc_eventLog;


Example 2:


In init.sqf 

_listener = [nil,"create"] call ALiVE_fnc_baseClass;
_listener setVariable ["class","somefunction"];
 
_listenerID = [ALiVE_eventLog,"addListener",[_listener, ["OPCOM_CAPTURE"]]] call ALIVE_fnc_eventLog;

Inside a function: 

params ["_logic","_operation","_args"];
 
switch (_operation) do {
    case "handleEvent": {
        _event = _args;
        _id = [_event, "id"] call ALIVE_fnc_hashGet;
        _data = [_event, "data"] call ALIVE_fnc_hashGet;
 
        _data params ["_side","_objective"]; // not sure if _objective is an ID or actual objective hash/array
 
        if (_side == "WEST") then { // or whatever side as a string
            private _objectiveID = [_objective,"id"] call ALiVE_fnc_hashGet;
            private _objectivePos = [_objective,"center"] call ALiVE_fnc_hashGet;
 
            // do magic here
        };
    };
};

CBA Eventhandlers

Possible Usage - Adding CBA event handlers to spawned units

http://alivemod.com/forum/3582-cba-eventhandlers-not-triggered/0#p24240 


if !(hasInterface or isServer) then {
	["All", "Hit", {_this call alive_fnc_handleHit;}] call CBA_fnc_addClassEventHandler;
	["All", "Killed", {_this call alive_fnc_handleKill;}] call CBA_fnc_addClassEventHandler;
} else {
	["CAManBase", "Fired", {_this call alive_fnc_handleFired;}] call CBA_fnc_addClassEventHandler;
	["CAManBase", "Respawn", {_this call alive_fnc_handleRespawn;}] call CBA_fnc_addClassEventHandler;
};


Finding if a particular profiled unit is alive

"Any way I can detect whether he is alive when he is profiled but not actually spawned?" 

sb_fnc_profileExists = {
    private _profileID = _this;
 
    private _profile = [ALiVE_sysProfile,"getProfile", _profileID] call ALiVE_fnc_hashGet;
 
    !(isnil "_profile")
};

You can determine the profileID using many ways. If you create the profile directly using one of our functions listed on the wiki then it will return either the profileID or the profile hash which can be used to grab the ID. You can also use our ALiVE_fnc_getNearProfiles directly on the man's position and give it a small radius so it only finds the desired profile. If you have the unit object after the unit has been profiled already, you can grab the ID of the profile he belongs to using: 

private _unitObject = ...;
private _profileID = _unitObject getvariable ["profileID", ""];

Persist ACEX Fortify Objects

In initServer.sqf (or wherever you choose to execute server-only code): 

["acex_fortify_objectPlaced", {
    [ALiVE_SYS_LOGISTICS, "updateObject", [(_this select 2)]] call ALIVE_fnc_logistics;
    }] call CBA_fnc_addEventHandler;
 
["acex_fortify_objectDeleted", {
    [ALiVE_SYS_LOGISTICS, "removeObject", [(_this select 2)]] call ALIVE_fnc_logistics;
    }] call CBA_fnc_addEventHandler;

If you choose to make this event handler client side, be sure to make it only be triggered by the user that moved the object.
