Hell-o Alias, how would I delete the sparky object assuming players have found a way to kill or stop it? Thanks so much for your creative scripts.

@Recaldy
You can get rid of the error in sparky looking for the line containing that object and comment, i don't think is critical or important far as i remember.
AS for the rest of the scripts try them in vanilla and see if they work.
Also you can have a look on this list to see if you can find something you might wanna use as mod or modules, check out Drongo's workshop too, he converted some of my anomalies in mods as well

Yup, I'm getting the same pop up in full vanilla. Checked the other DEMOs and it all seems good. Guess Ace No medical (or maybe armor plate system) breaks some stuff. I wanna use all your scripts but some either don't hurt me (Farty, Swarm) or doesn't track me (Screamer I think and Flamer.). Steamer works, Farmer works, Sparky works, Strigoi works, Twins I think works. (Reposted to fix typos, idk if the steam notifications removes the deleted posts or not, sorry.)

@Recaldy
Do you have that issue with the demo mission too?
The texture or whatever i used is vanilla they must've changed something or is just a wrong path to it.Is not a critical error tho, the script should work, isn't it?

I THINK this is from Sparky...don't think I've seen it with Strigoi and this is my first time using Sparky. I get a "Cannot load texture p:/ca/data_f/proxies/muzzle_flash/data/muzzleflash_rifle_set01_front_ca.paa." message. Love the anomaly btw, shame I'm just now using it.

For anyone interested, i've managed to set up a way for direct downloading.
Files are provide in zip format.
https://aliascartoons.com/

From what i've heard the link below can be used to download the pbo files from steam
{LINK REMOVED}https://steamworkshopdownloader.io

@ALIAScartoons
I use it for all of your scripts & other ones on the workshop
I got all your anomaly scripts in a folder to use for my horror missions ^^
Currently editing one for tomorrow actually

@EllmansWorld

Hope it works. Never tested it.

Need to download ALIAS's Scripts? Just use Workshop downloader:

@PRONIX
Once you subscribe the demo mission which contains the script is downloaded on your computer, you only need to find the download folder which is pretty standard unless you customized its destination.
Check these for more info, especially the last video
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLod_PhpAOFQjeeWATteU73zqL69ShN5Df

Is it possible to create an additional source for downloading your scripts?

Can you tell me?I subscribe to your mod, but it is not downloaded from the steam workshop?This is a pity, since Armagolik was killed and your scripts are no longer available to the community.How can I fix my problem?

@Firmament
Is not hard to script it, just takes a bit of time to do it and test it.
Far as i can remember this anomaly is not killable so you would need to delete the object itself, i don't recall how the script was done to be more specific

Any way to remove it once it got spawned on the map? A simple script command would suffice (I'm not asking for special effects when killing the anomaly and all that)! Also, protective gear is pretty much useless as long as it doesn't allow multiple items to do the job. I'm asking this in the most friendly way: is it so hard to script multiple protection gear when you know how the base script is meant to work?

Fantastic anomaly, by the way - possibly my favourite one in Arma 3.

A quick bypass I found would be, in the init.sqf [] spawn {sleep 60; null = ["plasma_anom","B_AssaultPack_blk",true] execvm "AL_spark\al_sparky.sqf";}. As well as going into the AL_Sparky>Orb_move.sqf and increasing the distance a player has to be within it.

@Maximus
Sounds like it needs some fixing, i will keep this in mind for the next updated

Yeah, if I get within 2000 meters and the anomaly was spawned before I enter its activation range it start to move up and down and not randomly. However If I spawn the anomaly whenever im within 2000 meters it works normally.

@Maximus
I don't remember exactly if is the case but most anomalies are made to activate when players are in range, could be the case with Sparky. If you get closer it starts moving?

After testing it out Ive found out the situation thats breaks it, if the anomaly is spawned in at the mission start then a player enters the 2000 meters the anomaly goes up and down. However if you were to spawn the anomaly in when the play is within 2000 meters the anomaly works perfectly fine. Dont know if this helps.

@Maximus
Thanks for the feedback!

Just tested the anomaly with a global exec, it works perfectly fine. Weird but for some reason the init.sqf execution doesnt completely work...

Hey, great anomaly mods. I have a quick question in reference to the AL_orb_move. Sparky doesnt seem to wander, just goes up and down. Any help would be appreciated.

@}{Отт@Бь)Ч
Sure, just don't charge people to use it/have access to it. Have fun!

Hello can I use your work

@CrimsonTemplar
not in current version, but will be possible in the next version... hopefully in the next few weeks

Is there a way to neutralize Sparky, like there is with Farty and the Strigoi (and technically the Twins)?

Found out after playing this in zeus with some friends that the effects and location of the script is client sided. Suggested for singleplayer, it works on multiplayer but feels a bit clunky !

That is beautiful dude!

@overwerk
It is, but you will have to ask around or do some digging, cuz i don't know of such mission, i would've made one if i had the time but i don't have any experience in making mission with Zues support, should't be hard but I simply don't have time to do the reading and testing, i would rather deal with my long todo list of scripts when i have time to spare

is there a way to get the PBO of an already existing workshop mission (for example, standard zeus, or zeus+mods modification)? i mostly zeus with people and i want to make SCP ops with zombies and shit using your amazing scripts

@overwerk
From Eden, save mission once you've done editing and setting up

how do i generate the PBO flile?

@overwerk
you need the script' files and folders under your mission folder and the sounds defined in description.ext, then you generate the pbo.

do i have to create a special mission file for it first? im new to this whole scripting thing so i have trouble understanding how i "prep" the script for use first

@overwerk
If you as Zeus have acces to debug console you can run the script from there

is there a wayto use those scripts with zeus?

These are so awesome for a horror mission of the military investigating investigating supernatural mysteries. ;O

I will release a video tutorial which will cover the basics, tho if you take a look at my older tutorials you will see how to use my scripts, the principle is the same most of the time

@Grimmy
The marker you place it from Eden and you put a name in its name field via RMB - properties or double click on it. That name you use to run the script.

@ALIAScartoons
I was able to do everything up to the point of using it as a parameter and executing it. As I said before, im pretty new at the whole script business. I was able to properly add it to the mission folder I am putting it in, and everything else seems to be in place in the proper manner. However, I do not know how to set a marker's parameter, nor how to execute it. Besides that I have everything together correctly, so all I really have to learn is how to execute it properly.

@Grimmy
You need the script' files and folders under your mission folder excepting mission.sqm
Place a marker on the map, use it as parameter for script and execute the script from init.sqf
Let me know if you need more info. Have fun!

So im kind of new at the whole adding script thing, so maybe you can answer a question for me. How exactly do I add these anomalies to the map? Is it just a copy paste of the script, or is there is a module or something similar? The tutorial doesn't really help me when it comes to finding out how to spawn these anomalies.

@ALIAScartoons
No buddy, I'm afraid that there is no damage on Exile at all. It does not depend on whether the player has protection or not. But I was able to turn on all your anomalies on Exile-mod ! But vehicles destroys only the worm, other anomalies do not affect the technique.

Good, as long as you have B_AssaultPack_blk as your backpack you don't take damage from anomaly

@ALIAScartoons this is from my INIT-file:
null = ["plasma_anom","B_AssaultPack_blk",true] execvm "AL_spark\al_sparky.sqf";

but there is no damage, even players are absolutely naked
dedicated server, EXILE-based

@Alec
What protective gear have you set up? The anomaly is harmful but not if you have the protective gear on you.

@ALIAScartoons
Cool as everything you do!
This anomaly without damage to the players? By default, it does not do any harm to anyone. Can you make it be dangerous?

@Tinbum Check out the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series for some inspiration. The anomolies are great for generally creepy apocalyptic vibes.

has anyone come up for a good use for these? I cant work out what to do with it other than freak my players out. You cant kill it or capture it and it does not chase you. any ideas?
