My current method of reading and translating mission.sqm isn't the most ideal. It runs well but I should really redesign it to be more logical and structurally digestible.

Instead of using setVehicleInit I should really just have the code run after the unit is created. This allows the program to be useful for A3 and A2.

Remember to replace "this" with the unit variable name.

The code structure to support it is already there, I just need to add in the code to extract and transfer values. Values to support:

• position
• placement (placement radius)
• expCond
• expActiv
• type
• timeoutMin
• timeoutMid
• timeoutMax
• combatMode
• combat (behavior)
• speed
• formation
• completionRadius
• showWP

Now that I've got the basic program done in python it would be nice to avoid the whole "packaging the interpreter" spiel by re-writing this in another language.

Would cut down on file size and remove some hassle from compiling.

C++ is a possibility.

Mentioned it on IRC but AI spawned on HC or on server from the script all have their waypoints turned into guard waypoints. With the current generated .sqf it doesn't specify the waypoint type (setWaypointType) after each addWaypoint. Would it be possible to add it? Taking most CBB missions into account, move makes up the vast majority of missions.

This would also be a good way to verify whether guard is now just the default waypoint / if there's a way around the problem or if it's a bigger problem with the creating/recreating waypoints that needs to be reported.

Here's a copy of OP British plus the folder I used to HC if you want to test it yourself https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14592975/arma3/op_british_smc.rar

They appear to always face north after spawning, even though they have 'setPos ...' being called with what appear to be the correct values from the original mission/editor. Not sure what's up with this. Maybe they aren't initialized or something?

It looks like objects get shifted to avoid collisions - this messes up things like sandbags. Consider using "CAN_COLLIDE" instead of "FORM" for those objects to allow them to be placed in the same spot as originally pulled from.

To repro:

1. Create a mission with two overlapping sandbags (that is, with their ends touching and overlapping slightly so they appear to be one object).
2. Run script on mission
3. Run generated SQF code to re-create original objects. They appear in different locations than originally placed.

• Empty vehicles
• Markers
• Triggers

Empty vehicles should be similar to the groups, should look into turning some of my existing code into a function for that.

I had a simple mission setup with some units patrolling around some cars blocking the road. When exported into SQF from the mission it looks like their waypoints are added above the ground (visible when I add those units to Zeus). I don't think it's breaking behaviour for this simple test, but it might affect other waypoint types.

My guess is it's an ATL/ASL issue...

• Note: this was converted from A3. The differences shouldn't really matter here though.

It would be good if it ignored units set to playable as well as any placed game logic.

• When replacing magic variable "this" from init fields, all occurrences are replaced. If the string appears within a string or variable name this can result in unwanted replacements.
• Init fields could have whitespace at the end, which could create bad sqf.
• Numerical config values can use format 1e+010, these aren't currently recognised
