i would like to second the issue that this script seams to cause frame issues on larger player counts, i would like to know if anyone finds a fix

@ALIAScartoons Heya. Just an update on the use of this on a dedicated server. This is what the server log says during the massive fps drops:

23:05:14 Tried to create group while group limit is reached on side Game Logic
23:05:14 Tried to create group while group limit is reached on side Game Logic
23:05:14 Tried to create group while group limit is reached on side Game Logic
23:05:14 Tried to create group while group limit is reached on side Game Logic

Probably about 30 entries repeating that same error. Might help you get it working lawlessly on dedicated for big groups.

I love this script. Played with it on our server last night. 20 players. Unfortunately it causes a huge FPS drop (unplayable). This drop also happened with only 4 players on a test mission but I thought that was a server trigger problem. I assumed wrong. Luckily it was at the end of the mission so we only lost 10 minutes. It would be nice to know why this happens to try and understand and fix it.

hi where is this demo mission located once downloaded? i cant seem to find it in any of my mission folders

any way to remove the stun effect so players can actually move still once attacked? Or is my game just having problems, because when i get attacked my character just starts walking and i cant run anymore.

You can implement a roaming strigoi anomaliy for missions with ravage sandbox )) ?

sounds like a stuka

Hi ALIAScartoons,I use this script in my server,as someone said before, this script caused a very significant reduction in the number of frames,can you fix it?Thank you for all your efforts!

Can this be made into a mod, not just a scenario?

@ALIAScartoons I'm having an issue after the entity spawns, there is a sound error causing no audio to come from the entity and instead of being invisible he appears as a pure black AI w/ the effect surrounding him. Any help is appreciated!

Hello, i have a problem. Trying to implement it on a public server via trigger. When spawning, everyrhing is okay, but when strigoi starts moving, it spawns tonns of invisible HeliPads and it starts to lag really hard. I don't see this problem, while testing it in Eden it's just a VR object moving. Is it fixable? Or can i somehow block that HeliPad spawning

Love your stuff, but im getting an error when approaching strigoi on my exile server, it says sound not found, but he is still visible with no audio, any ideas?

@ALIAScartoons
mhmm realized changing time could be a problem with the mission
is there not a way to spawn him via admin console or something?

@Fedezx
The script is checking for sunOrMoon.

@ALIAScartoons I'm looking for a way to activate the script on command and I'm running out of time, so I though I could just set the mission a minute before the nighttime trigger to make it spawn
but I need to know what does the script consider nightime, could you specify?

TheKillian shared a video featuring Strigoi among other things, thanks man!

That didnt work either, its all good.

Cheers

You also need to comment/remove this line [_list_unit_range_casp] call fnc_strig_drain; in strigoi.sqf

@Aliascartoon: I tested removing the fatigue from the strigoi.sqf as mentioned below, however it didnt work.

I tried //[[_strigoi],"AL_strigoi\fatigue_p.sqf"] remoteExec ["execVM",0,true];

@Ser Jorah of House Friendzone
What you need is to run this script on your unit: strigoi_sfx.sqf
See how i've done it.

Alias, I have looked at strigoi.sqf lines 25-55 and still cannot understand how you made the Strigoi entity have a glossy/transparent appearance with the warping particle effect. I am sorry for my incompetence, can you help me?

I am trying to apply the same visual effects onto a character.
(I will include your Strigoi mod as part of the credits)

@chief/spartan
:) Good to know, thanks mate! I didn't have time to play around with Livonia yet

This script blends perfectly with Livonia's (current) ambient noises, as well as said map's vast forests.

Здравствуйте а как можно приобрести Ваш скрипт Строгой для острова ?

@Valr. TPM
In strigoi.sqf look for line below and comment or remove
[[_strigoi],"AL_strigoi\fatigue_p.sqf"] remoteExec ["execVM",0,true];

Hello, is it possible to stop the fatigue kicking in when being attacked by the Strigoi?

line 6 where? what file? take a screen shot

so i just set it up again and it hasnt worked, i tried to execute the code in the escape menu whilst in game, it told me there was an error on line 6

@Nefarious Bins
Check out these tutorials for more info

im unsure whether i have the sound definitions, i assume so as i copied all the files and double checked that, and no i do not use ace, knowing me i've made a stupid mistake somewhere, sorry to be bothersome :D

@Nefarious Bins
Do you have sounds and sound definitions under your mission? Do you use ACE?

demo works fine but i get no error message, as soon as i copy over the files to a different mission it just doesnt appear

@Nefarious Bins
Do you get any errors? The demo mission works for you?

hey, might just be me being dumb but i installed the script on a quick test mission on altis, copied and pasted it without modifying it at all and Strigoi doesnt seem to appear at all, i watched the videos and tried my best to copy them so i could get it running but all to no avail, any ideas? im totally stuck :/

@Phoenix01
See strigoi.sqf where i first create and set atributes for Strigoi from line 25 to line 55 and related functions in function.hpp

Hello ALIAS!

I love this mod!
I am trying to figure out how to set a unit to appear just like your Strigoi to popup on players.
Your Strigoi has a glossy/transparent appearance with a 'warping' particle effect, I am trying to create a unit in a mission that appears just like it (for jump scares and story exposition). What parameters do I set the unit texture and particle effects?

Thank you!!
(PS: I absolutely love all of your scripts, I'll be including you and your mods in the credits :) )

@RangerOfTheOrder
I think that's the approach for ACE medical system. Thank you for sharing!
When i have time i will do some tests myself.

I think I figured it out
I replaced
player setDamage ((getdammage player) + damage_strig);
in the tgt_attk.sqf with
_selection = selectRandom ["body","head","hand_r","hand_l","leg_r","leg_l"];

[player, 0.2, _selection, "stab"] call ace_medical_fnc_addDamageToUnit;

@RangerOfTheOrder
Not yet, not me from me anyways, tho some people migth've done the adaptation already. I will ask and let you know.

Is there an ACE compatible version in the works? I want to use this to scare the pants of my milsim group in a mission I'm planning! :D

These are super cool! Good Job!
