Curator Presets Mod

This is an addon for Arma 3 that provides script presets in Zeus (aka Curator) mode in the Modules screen. This mod is very simple but very useful now that Zeus (aka Curator) has been released to Stable. I needed a way to run scripts on objects but not have to give debug console access both in the mission and to users in general. As a result I came up with this mod to help provide some extra utility to Zeus. It's still very basic and needs a ton of work but I wanted to throw it out here for you guys to consume and try out.

Module Features

Core

  • Air Flight - Allows setting of flight height and speed for flying vehicles
  • Artillery - Calls for artillery fire from the unit using coordinates, ammo type, and round count
  • Damage Component - Damages the unit's component based on the component selected and the damage slider
  • Spawn Garrison - Spawns a garrison of units at the given location based on some config params (use with caution!)
  • Vehicle Disembark - Calls the passengers, crew, or all units in the vehicle to disembark

System

  • CPM Config - Basic config dialog for the mod
  • Task Force Radio - Basic config for the TFR voip addon. Support for other voip methods and more TFR options will come later
  • Virtual Ammobox System - Loads the Virtual Ammobox System onto the unit/object

Unit

  • Unit Action - Runs an action on the unit
  • Unit Animation - Plays an animation on the unit
  • Unit Chat - Sends a text chat message through the unit
  • Unit Recruitable - Adds an action to the unit that allows players to recruit into their own group
  • Unit Skills - Sets the precise skills for the unit
  • Unit Surrender - Calls the unit to surrender
  • Unit Teleport - Teleports the unit to the given coordinates

Non-Module Features

  • Waypoint Handler - Ctrl+Shift+RMB - Custom waypoint dialog to setup non-standard waypoints
  • Waypoint Type 'Land' - Fleeing is disabled and vehicle will land and shut down
  • Waypoint Type 'Land - Get In' - Fleeing is disabled and vehicle will come to a hover a few meters off of the ground
  • Waypoint Type 'Search Buildings' - Unit/Group will search through all positions in the building nearest to the waypoint when placed. Groups will divide up the task as evenly as possible and will spread out to cover all building positions.
  • Custom Module Category - Modules are now located within a custom category labeled "Curator Presets" in the Create side bar. This was a huge pain in the rear to get working and is still buggy but it's a step in the right direction

Notes

  • Spawn Garrison is limited to 150 units and 25 groups. Once at the unit limit no more will spawn. Once at the group limit all future units will be added to the last group.
  • Unit Animation is not yet complete and as such will not do anything yet.
  • Search Buildings is buggy. Please let me know of any suggestions you have or bugs you find.

Known Issues

  • Units will not always obey when Unit Action is called on them (seems to be limited to specific action types but maybe a locality issue)
  • Clicking on custom sub-categories for modules will put a non-functioning module object on the cursor. Just right-click it away to continue
