Looking through the tutorial, do we need to export the agents to SQF even if it is a single-player scenario? Still trying to figure out how it works, so I have no clue if this is a borderline dumbass question or not.

I feel like this could be useful for warlords, but I'm not sure how to apply this to freshly spawned units.

Getting error:

'_unit = _this |3 |select 0;_passedParameters = (_this sele...'
Error select: ype Object, expected Array,String,Config entry

"'1 |#|Objects simulated error generic error in expression"
Error now fixed

Hey I'm having an issue when i'm trying to export the agents to SQF, I get the error "'1 |#|Objects simulated error generic error in expression"

Any idea what this means?

This makes me so sad since I just wrote a script yesterday to replace Ambient AI with Agents prior to me seeing this mod, either way Top Tier Stuff

Thank you for the quick response & fix!)

Removed it, thanks for the info. It should auto-update when you re-launch Arma.

While I find this mod deviously clever it does have some hat limited utility in my case since agents do not execute FSM and have no ability to fight. Still for scenery and spawing large numbers of civilians this could be amazing

you and me both Rolf, no idea whats going on around here.

What is this? It looks like some sort of magic. I do not understand, what is an agent? I feel like I don't belong here, clearly I'm too much of a pleb to use this, but I'm curious.

Sounds awesome anyway if you get a chance could you post a short video as a demonstration?

I approve

@M9A3

thank you!

does it roll with 3eden enhanced ?

“so right now it doesn't create a dependency? i can just use this for my mission and the players + server don't need this mod right?”

That's correct, because all you'd be doing is adding a script to your mission's init.
The script in this case is whatever your export of the agents is.
"Tools > 3DEN Agency > Export Agents to SQF (Agents Only)."

Here is an example of what I mean,
but there are other ways you could achieve the same effect:

Hope this helps

Excellent utility.

Ah i understand, still an very useful mod. Used it on AI around some safe zones for animations and it worked perfectly and i definitely noticed an FPS improvement.

“So agents can’t be used as combatants?”

The short answer is no, they won’t attack enemies.

They can potentially be used as combatants, but you will have to script their actions manually. Commands like fire & forceWeaponFire will still work on agents. The functions BIS_fnc_unitCapture & BIS_fnc_unitPlay should also work.

Ex:
ai1 Fire currentMuzzle ai1;

ai1 forceWeaponFire [currentMuzzle ai1, (selectRandom (getArray (configFile >> "CfgWeapons" >> currentWeapon ai1 >> "modes")))];

So agents can't be used as combatants?

Now big missions wont lag as much
