@Guerillasmurf
If the open fire command doesn't work then I do not know how to force the gunner to fire.
Guerillasmurf 17 Oct @ 12:04pm 
@Asaayu
In a tank crew I can get the gunner to target a enemy tank but not open fire.
Do You know how?

Hi.
Thank you for this mod.
Does it work with vehicles like controlling a tank unit?
Basti0n 16 Oct @ 9:53am 
nvm i tested it and i have to say, probably one of the best mods out there this is amazing. its so good in fact i feel like this should be in the base game, makes commanding sooooooo much easier thank youuu
Basti0n 16 Oct @ 2:28am 
i know its probably a silly question but antistasi changes alot of ai behavior and commands and this would be the perfect addition to it
Basti0n 16 Oct @ 2:10am 
so can I still use the manual commands along with this mod. Im doing antistasi and would like to use some of their custom bot commands while also using this for simple commands.

The mod uses the built-in land command, so there most likely isn't any way to fix the issue other then using your workaround sadly.

Hi, your mod has become a staple in my arma experience I cannot play without it, thank you for that, Is there any way I can make helicopters land when I tell them to land with SOG prairie Fire Slicks ? They don't seem to obey, they simply hover and get fired on , I did find a workaround which is to order them to turn the engine off but they won't land in a specific safe spot or if they do its very far away from the position I told them to land (which was the position they were hovering on when I would tell them to "land" with the mike)

Sorry for the long comment, is there any way I can workaround this issue other than turning off engines ?

Then once those steps are all done you can start Arma 3 with the mod and CBA enabled, making sure to disable battle-eye in-case it blocks the mod from loading. Then you should be able to start a mission in the editor and use the options in the pause menu to test the speech recognition and open the speech training and sound settings if you need them.

First you'll need to make sure you have a compatible language installed, as an example "English (United Kingdom)". You can see what languages you have installed by searching "Language Settings" in your start menu. If you don't have either English United States, or English United Kingdom installed then you'll need to click "Add a language" and install either one. Once installed you'll want to make sure you have the voice recognition section for that language installed as well. In your list of installed languages, click the three dots on the right and click language options, and under speech recognition make sure you have basic speech recognition installed, you can also installed the enhanced speech recognition, but I don't actually know what it does/add. Once that's installed you may need to restart you computer for them to be fully setup.
