BIS_fnc_objectVar is suppossed to give me back a string name for a object. That it requires a "entity" object and does not support "projectile" objects is not obvious, especially as that kind of differentiation doesn't seem to exist in sqf, at least to my knowledge.

But i'm not trying adding the "local" event to the object myself, i'm just calling BIS_fnc_objectVar, and inside Arma3 code (/temp/bin/A3/Functions_F/Objects/fn_objectVar.sqf..., line 53) its attempted to add the event.

Works fine for me now.

Attached the compressed mdmp and bidmp of one of the crashes.

I thought that players would work as a kind of virtual camera on server side in this case, but that clears it up.

I don't understand how this applies to my case.

As noted also with T170145, having non simulated groups being returned also would be useful, so maybe only exclude them with additional optional parameter?

That command would be really useful to save alot of time, even outside perframe execution. If you have a good amount of units/groups around a certain place, it takes a good chunk of time.

No, it happens not anymore since i started T159875, as around this time the behaviour seemed to have changed, which i noticed because my workarounds for this issue which worked well for some time suddenly did not work properly anymore.

From my POV it can be closed.

I did some more testing on a new dedicated server installation on a different system and could reproduce the issue there with just vanilla Arma3.

You still have to filter them out yourself in SQF, which is relatively slow. You're only thinking of those non vehicle objects, but your filter will still be in effect for actual targets too.
If the EH trigger is pre-filtered you don't have to do anything. The EH will only trigger for actual targets.

I'll add a filter that only units/vehicles get detected... though vehicles is hard 😓 as houses are also vehicles.

Scripted? These are not scripted handlers. addEventHandler is what you want.

As yesterdays development branch changelog says "Added: Group Event Handlers" i assume its suppossed to work already with this version.

From my point of view it would be enough, especially as the followup code usually has to be executed where unit and its group is local anyway.

Agreed, that would be very helpful and save alot of checks.

I have tried the test mission from LSValmont and can reproduce the mentioned issue.

Interesting that you mention AI moving around impacting this issue.

If that is the intended behaviour then there is a different bug, which is that it does not always work and i will try to create a simple test case to reproduce it.

The mod author has looked into the issue and he used older UI pictures, that apparently are not available with Arma3 2.0.0 anymore. Will be replaced in the next version of the mod.

My bad, never had any issues so far with this detail of SQF.

Tried out this option during our weekend games and it fixed the issue.

This problem still exist in MP on a dedicated server.

Works fine for me so far.

I have run into the same situation recently. Seems a problem with all backpacks. When placed in editor they fall just through until they land on ground. Also happens outside of buildings when they for example placed on a desk, they always land on the ground ingame.

Regular props like the laptop etc. cannot be put into the inventory of the player, the Chemical Detectors without functionality can. I can put them on the ground in the editor and pick them up later in the game. So it seems natural that if you can put a object into the players inventory, you can also select it from the arsenal, for example as a "misc item".

Tried out devbranch and it now shows the full pathname again.
