Description
Overview:
This is an emission script I made for a STALKER themed mission. In STALKER, an emission is a devastating release of excess noosphere energy from the centre of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, which will kill/zombify anything not sheltered from it when it passes over. This script will allow you to recreate this event in Arma 3, by having an emission sweep over the map in the direction of your choice. Map and equipment in the preview screenshots are from the ArmSTALKER mod.

This is the mod version, a script version[github.com] is also available if you want to reduce dependencies or hide it from your players in your mission file.

If you'd like to test the script for yourself, you can try out the demo mission.

Features:
  • Configurable settings so you can use the script how you like
  • Emissions can be triggered on demand via script or Zeus
  • AI can be affected by the emission
  • Zombies from Ryan's Zombies and Ravage are immune to the emission
  • Designed for multiplayer and tested on dedicated server
  • Compatible with ACE
  • Useable from Zeus via Zeus Enhanced
  • Editor modules to simplify usage (Mod version only!)

ZEN Modules:
  • Change Settings
  • Start Emission
  • Start Random Emissions

Editor Modules:
  • Emission Settings
  • Start Emission
  • Start Random Emissions

The script and how to use it is described in more detail on the GitHub page.

To shelter yourself from the emission, you must have a structure or vehicle considered to be shelter above your head within 30m. By default, objects considered shelter are anything that inherits from the classes 'Building', 'Car', 'Tank', 'Air' or 'Ship'. These classes can be adjusted in the settings if desired.



Notes:
Be careful if using lethal emissions for AI, killing large amounts of AI at once can be incredibly heavy on performance.

@Viceroy Not with this mod, I wanted to add these features at some point but I lost interest in working on it and didn't know how to get the AI to do this without potentially breaking things
Viceroy 9 Jun @ 4:07am 
Really awesome man. Is there a way to make the emission zombify the AI? And to force the AI to seek shelter?

@Dahl The lightning bolt options will cause the storm to strike the vehicle with lightning when the emission wave touches the vehicle which will instantly destroy the vehicle and kill the crew. The engine on option means that it will only do the lightning bolt if the vehicle engine is turned on, so if the player or AI stops the engine during the storm they won't be destroyed

Amazing mod, one question, I'm looking through the mod options and I saw two selections that use the term "bolt" in relation to vehicles, specifically when it comes to the engine being on for grounded vehicles and aircraft. I just wanted to know what exactly this means, cause my interpretation is that the AI controlled vehicle/aircraft attempts to leave the area, and becomes disabled, killing the crew if they can't escape.

@Nyxborne It depends on the map size, bigger maps you would need faster speed and smaller maps slower speed
AI seeking shelter could probably be added but there are two main reasons I didn't do this:
- I'm not very good at getting AI to do what I want
- It might break lots of other scripted behaviour or make AI do unintended things and I don't want to have to deal with fixing that

Also, you below that there is no behavior that makes AI seek cover from the Emission. Is there a way that can be added? It's kind of unrealistic that friendly and enemy AI just stand around.

How fast should I make the Emission Speed if I want it to hit 1 minute after the alarms sound?

@RectalAssassin There is no behaviour in this mod that makes AI seek cover

when i played this mod in antistasi like 8 months ago, the AI used to run for cover during emissions, but now they do not. is there a setting to change or is it something antistasi side?

Will the AI ever try to flee from the emission? Playing Antistasi and I don't wanna have to move them back and forth.
