Do the spooks responsible after you use the module? I killed but they don’t respawn after and is it possible i have them appear if the player gets close or leaves the area?

I've never seen anything like that. What is the mission description?

Hello, we recently installed the mod on our dedicated server and noticed that when we spawn any spooks or even traps/anomalies, it creates a mission. Is it normal ? Or is there a way for a Zeus to use the spooks without having it creating missions ?

Assign the object this variable:

_object getVariable["dsaDetectable",TRUE,TRUE];

Anyway to have the anomaly detector to go off on AI or objects that are not in the mod?

твой шедевр.
с мутантами тоже не плохо.

Hey tried using the anomalies in zeus and eden and neither works

work ace medical?

so i m trying to get a small script to work in the cognitohazard script field, but anytime i do look at it, the game just throws an error, saying it couldnt find the script, while listing the whole script.
I also tried writing the script in the init field of another object and calling it, same issue.
Calling the script in my console works tho.
Any ideas?

Hello I have noticed a slight issue with this mod. I cant seem to play as one of the spooks even though I have set it to be a playable character in eden editor, I have the mission file on a server and it still refuses to allow the player scripts to work. Is there anyway to fix this issue?

What's the detector called? I tried all the ones I could find but they don't seem to detect anything properly.

The funny thing is, that i could zeus control the spooks, that are playable, before. I thought this was how its supposed to be.

Liru the Lance Corporal runs a Zeus youtube channel where he has repeatedly remoted in as a spook. Like the Abomination. I don't know how he does it, maybe his group have added extra code, if so maybe they could share it with you. I'm sure youre right about remoting spooks, I just wanted to point that out.

I just tested the spooks and they all work fine. Please test with no other mods loaded and post reproduction steps. It has never been possible to remote control spooks, players have to start the mission as a spook or the player control scripts won't start.

As for the zeus controlled spooks. For some reason this doesn't work anymore. I don't know if its because i added the detector script but i can only control their movement. Using ctrl-double click or the remote control module only m´lets me control their movement, using alt-double click doesn't do anything and just brings up the attributes. However it worked before the update so i don't know if i have to redo them. Since spawning them not from my composition list, controlling them does not work as well. I don't know what i'm doing wrong...

was working yesterday but today I try to use it and non of the spooks or anomalies functions work? their textures for the anomalies dont work but they do on the spooks. but neither do what they are suppose to. Like they arent loading. did the arma update break the mod?

Thanks for the report, it should be fixed now.

In the file `dsa\scripts\CognitoAffected.sqf`, on line 17, the function call for DSA_fnc_damage is missing a paramater, throwing errors for my players. Please fix and I love your mod!

nevermind, that shits hard, and im too dumb to figure it out lol i only got as far as being able to make the spook teleport but not a another npc

Cool, thanks was going crazy trying to figure out if I was dumb or if it just wasn't implemented lol would be cool though in future versions if possible? I know modding arma can be a little tricky especially making it do stuff it really wasnt intended to do, such as have a player character touch another player character and then make them teleport away... though I suppose I could code it in myself? Worth a shot. Great mod though!

Not exactly, here are the details:

PLAYABLE SPOOKS
Wendigos, Vampires, 411s, Snatchers and Rakes can be used as playable units. The commands are as follows:

Attack: FIRE
Grab/throw: THROW
Leap: LEAN RIGHT
Jump up: LEAN LEFT
Night vision: BINOCULARS
Hunt vision: NVGs
Howl: RELOAD

If spooks attempt to use a firearm, they will be instantly killed.

can the players use the special attacks? Such as the Snatchers ability to teleport players away?

The is a DSA module called Core, use that.

What would be a core module in this regard? A standard module or a DSA Module? Because from these I only used the "Enable detector" module. Thats it. From standard there are some "Hide/Show" modules, game master, respawn etc.

Are you using a Core module? If so, try deleting and replacing it, if not, try placing one.

Hello. I started building a custom Zeus mission before the update. After the update, nothing works. The spooks mentioned in the readme that can be accessed by zeus, I am unable to get into them. They don't attack the player and act like a civilian. Stand there and do nothing. Also the sound modules don't work anymore. Don't know if the update just destroyed a 3 months build or if i'm doing something wrong. Happy about any help.

What's the error?

Keep getting error messages with the cognito hazard.

Awesome explanation, thanks!

The old method uses setDammage. This bypasses some revive scripts and doesn't work properly with armour. The new method spawns a bullet and uses setVelocity, so the damage is inflicted in the same way as getting shot. The bullet type and velocity is very roughly based on the 1-100 scale set in the modules. Overall this means greater compatibility with mods and scripts.

@Drongo: What is this projectile-based damage you speak of?

Thanks for the update!

Small update:

CHANGELOG
v0.18
Added: Option for projectile-based damage
Fixed: Various issues

You'll have to do it by scripts in your mission folder.

This usually does the trick "if (isServer) then {[this, "AfricanHead_01"] remoteExec ["setFace", 0, this]};" but where should I put it to apply on spawned units? I have tried to put it in the init field of units synced with start module, but that didn't worked.

Try using setFace, but you'll have to wait a few seconds until the spook has initalized.

Is there a way to assign heads to spooks, like african, middle east, etc.? Having sinced units with the start module uses the equimpment, but ingores identities and heads.

The spook will move to the position of the closest enemy on the map (the target is not revealed to the spook, only the position). IT FOLLOWS can only be activated by syncing spooks to an [AI] It follows module. No special AI, basically it just makes it move to the closest enemy, even if it doesn't know about the enemy.

never mind, i checked the read me

Anomaly Detector is somehow listed as "premium content" from DLC - also can it perhaps be set up as a "works from inventory" item much like Webknight's head lamp?

It has a kind of zombie called "Crazies", but Webknight's Zombies and Demons and DevourerKing's Necroplage Mutants both contain better zombie units.

are there kind of Zombies in this Mod? Zombies and demons ist poorly dead.

Spawning by trigger is not supported I'm afraid. For spawning in a certain area, maybe try my Map Population mod.

Can I do somehow spawn in some one point, instead spawn around me ?

how start spawn by trigger ? When I put core module and startspawn ambient module, spawn starts auto, but I want to do it when I need it.

Sorry for the late replies. The readme has guides for how to set up the detector and silver ammo.

This works with DMP, I often use the two together in missions.

Can I run this and DMP at the same time?

Where is the command to activate the detector? Idk how to get it to work.

Is there a way to add new ammo types to the "DSA SpookKillers" class? I'm working on my unit's sub mod, and it was requested to make our own silver tipped ammos.

having issues with the detector, only 411 are seen on it using the module. the rest require a command to be seen via the detector.
