First post in this forum, my name is Dimitrius and I am from the TacticalGamer community.

I recently began utilizing ALiVE and am quite impressed with it's ease of use. While admitting I am still in the learning phase, I am curious if it is possible to set more acute roadblocks. For example, if I set a civilian or military object and set roadblocks to all, I cannot accidentally control where they will be placed. I understand that they will be placed randomly within the TOAR I designate, but am wondering if I can place a marker or use some other method to control their placement more accurately.

I see there are many optional modules I can utilize and I am still learning, but if anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd be grateful.

Love this mod, look forward to using it in my missions.

Thank you in advance if you have the time to answer my question.

Is there any reason why you couldn't just place them in the editor if you wanted them to be that accurate?

That would be my first instinct, but then I'm terrible at this :P

You can set couple of game modes using ALiVE.

• Asymmetrical Warfare
• Invasion vs Occupy
• Invasion vs Invasion

Which one we are talking about?

Forgive my misunderstanding of your question. I do not know the difference between those terms, or their context.

I am attempting to make a COOP mission where we are BLUFOR and OPFOR are our aggressors. I have figured out how to use the CQB module for the towns and urban areas, but am attempting to find a more accurate way to place road blocks instead of just selecting "ALL" in a military or civilian objective and hoping for the best.

I can place them statically, but I wondered if there was a way to use Alive to place them instead.

Thank you.

Herosandvillians, thank you for your assistance, but I must be doing something wrong. I have placed a ALIVE required module and then Military Placement Custom Objective Module as you have said and set it to roadblock from the compositions dropdown. I placed the custom module on a road and when I spawned in it didn't appear.

Thank you for your suggestion, I must be missing something here.

Any additional advice is welcomed.

Again why reinvent the wheel? If you know where they're going to be why not place them in the editor? You could even make a custom composition to make it faster.

I'm not trying to be a dick here, I'm just curious as why you would try and use ALiVE for something that could be done easier in the 3DEN editor?
Maybe I'm just tired, it's been a long day learning the joys of setting up a server.

JD_Wang I am not as skilled at mission design as you seem to be. My questions are simply to see if I can place a roadblock using the ALiVE Framework. It may not make sense to you, but that is my goal. I do not yet know what a custom composition is and would be grateful if you could explain it to me or give me an example.

I see several ways I can create roadblocks from scratch, but am just trying to figure out it the module had an easy way to do it.

I am sorry if that somehow offends you.

Thanks SypderBlack, trying right now.

SpyderBlack, that worked, it seems I was forgetting to place Virtual AI System as I am still getting a feel for all of the required vs optional modules.

Thank you for your patience and willingness to help me.

We are using ALiVE at TacticalGamer on some of our missions and so far are quite impressed with how streamlined mission making can be using these tools.

If I have any more questions about static roadblocks, I will place them here.

Thank you again

Friendly Regards,

Also, go cubs.
