I meant me as the player, i figure it out though, i just used a prop that has a ladder and a flat surface

@1peppaspear03 Are you placing them in the editor or Zeus. There is little to no "ground" for the AI to navigate through as the entire rig is made of building assets. The is no way for the AI to Path around the rig.

I don't know what's up with this game but i just can't get characters to walk up the stairs, they're stuck in the swimming animation no matter how high or low the oil rig is, looks cool though, wish the game didnt have dog shit controls

@Reznov, Thanks, please show any screenshots or videos you might have. Love seeing the rig in use.

Love your rig been planning a few operations involving it.

@Silos

Thank you! ;)

@Sebi, That's brilliant! Love the style you went for!

@Silos

Wonderful composition! Just used it in one of our operations and is also included in a video (last scene). If you're interested, here's the Youtube link:

@FLParzival you need to disable vertical mode and surface snapping. There is guide here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2278190892

Hey all, how do you get the composition to all line up? All the individual pieces are all over the place for me.

@convader no worries, use it as you see fit. There was a user in comments called "Dad" who had added some scripts to have the lighting turn off from the control tower. If you have any video or images of the mission running, please pop a link in here so I can see what you do. I'm really interested in seeing how people use it. OTHER than fake ukraine/russian camera footage that is....

Excellent Composition, amazing attention to detail. I have used this asset and redesigned the platform for my new OPTRE scenario. Do I have your permission to release it as a separate composition, providing I reference you for your amazing work?

@Riggers-98 You will find it in the Eden editor under under "Industrial" and "Steam subscribed content" in the assets tab.

where do you find this in the mission editor

@TrichomeCharlie I have never managed to get spawning working on the rig myself. Snapping only works the terrain so will always spawn in the water. You could download the mission file mod instead of the composition and manually create a mission with spawned units?

This looks great so far, thanks for putting in the time. Question - is there anyways to make the respawn point be ON the deck vs 170 ft and in a parachute? I tried messing with the "170" but cant get me anything that respawns ON deck. Also tried snapping the respawn to the deck and no dice.... Then I spawn in the water. Anyway around this?

its like rust

Thanks man! brilliant video!

Hi, I just made a mission with your fantastic Oil Rig composition :)
https://youtu.be/eLDg14mmKOQ

Because the rig effectively "floats" in water areas you do not want surface snapping or vertical mode enabled. You can turn these off in Eden but not in Zeus as far I'm aware. Hence placing it in Zeus would not work well.

Is it physically impossible to place this in Zeus mode, works fine in Eden I was just wanting to place it down in a antistasi round of mine and a friend to roleplay some or do a cool side mission.

I am having an issue where it has a black hole, some people see the full rig and others are missing 1/4 of it, do you know what would be causing this by chance?

Shall do mister currently waiting approval from server owner

Use it wherever you wish but let me know as i'd love to see it in a life server

Can this mod be used on a arma life server ?

wait so do i actually have to load up a map (example:stratis) and then look for it in the assets tab? because I dont see any industrial tab or steam subscribed contents tab in-game

You will find it in the Eden editor under under "Industrial" and "Steam subscribed content" in the assets tab.

Cant seem to find the rig even though I subbed to it

Love the video! Thanks Gundam

Awesome rig, perfect for an Enclave Base! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQo7ji3VV6Y&t=2s

For sure!

Thanks for asking. Glad you sorted it and you like the composition. If you do run an op with it or have any videos/photos. I would love to see them. Please link me. Cheers mate

Appreciate you investigating the issue! Turns out the reason was because I placed the rig outside of the map boundaries. Love the Composition!

I’m sorry man im unable to replicate the issue myself. I put a rig down on altis a blufor dude and a few enemy AI down and they didn’t see me until I showed myself. Are you certain they are shooting at you? I have some default green units on the rig so perhaps they are shooting at them?

As soon as I step aboard on the stairs at the bottom of the platform AI from around the entire rig open fire and try to shoot me. So they tend to see me through most of the whole platform. Love the Composition just not sure if I can use it unfortunately. Don't think its the AI cause I'm not utilising any AI enhancements.

Can you be more specific around which parts they are seeing you through?

Having issues with AI detecting and trying to shoot me through the rig, any solutions?

Ok I haven’t looked yet. I thought you could climb up the red ladders and get on. I’ll have a look.

I believe he's talking about the spiral stair cases along the fuel silos on the legs.

Theres a chances that for some reason Arma won't register you as on the small concerete platform and thus allows you to swim through the prop.

vehicles (boats) have proper collisions, just the player collision is random.

the bottom most platforms are under water, the stairway has about 1-2 steps under water. sometimes it works, other times it does not and makes the player pass through.

Can I check the height you had the composition in the water? I will double check this myself.

1) went to the structure by boat but there's no player collision to stand over something to use the stairs.
2) respawn points over players make them spawn in the sea, they can only respawn on vehicles.

That’s great dad. Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll definitely look at extending the comp to include those ideas. I’m busy with work at the moment but the ideas are great.

If you'd like to watch an AAR replay of the mission, you can do so using our AAR viewer tool here.
We played the mission I spoke of tonight. Funny enough, OPFOR managed to take BLUFORs heli and fly off with the hostages... which BLUFOR was mean't to rescue haha.

Oh also!
Because sometime people may wish to use this in a mission with divers, the base of the legs at sea level for the rig, under the final prop, you can see through it and even swim up and into it by mistake.
What I did to solve this was simply take the small silo above it and extend this down to the sea bed. It looks good and stops the problem above. Maybe add a comment to the legs saying something like "Copy and paste these legs down to your desired depth"

Incase you didn't notice also, very center of the platform, on the underside of the concrete slabs, sea side, there's a tiny hole where they don't join. Might be worth sticking a pipe going down from it into the sea for the added look?

It's fairly simple to do pal.
I recommend if you get maybe 20 mins at the most, go into your comp, give all objects that are lights a variable, then place a power box object somewhere and either through a hold action in its options or via an interaction through it's init, tell it to run a line of code that deletes some of the lights, while I recommend it disables simulation on the light house prop as deleting that is pretty darn obvious to people when a whole building goes.

Very basic .sqf knowledge needed, if basically any.

dad… that’s genius. I would love to see a video of any ops you have on it. I love seeing what people use it for. Thanks for the comment!

Used this comp from Armaholic about a week before it closed.
It's been used in a full fledged mission with framework and such for our community.

I added a feature in which is a hold action is completed on a power box on the oil rig, it deletes/disables simulation on all lights on the rig and thus simulates cutting the power.
Purpose for this is that I made a hostage rescue on it, and the defenders (TVT/PVP mission) had the choice of doing so just to aid in making it dynamic.

All in all a great comp that everyone should check out if not use!

Starch, you subscribe to the composition you like, then in the Eden editor you need to be in the group/compositions menu, (it doesn’t appear under the single units tab) I think you can press F2 to get to it. You need to click on the white triad symbol on the far right and then you will see a “steam subscribed content” section. All your subscribed compositions will be listed there. Video tutorial here: https://youtu.be/B9VTRjqZDTk also make sure you read the guide linked in previous comments about placing things like the oil rig with with vertical mode and surface snapping switched off.
