Arma 3 server

Figured i might pick the brains of some of the arma boffins.

Basically, me and a few freinds are running an arma 3 campaign, and the idea is to be semi-serious, so we have a gentlemans agreement that we can only use the ace menu to spawn in vehicles/equipment at certain locations/times.

However, we have one member who's version of serious when assaulting a town is to spawn himself in a .50 sniper with explosive rounds, then a grenade launcher for the main assault, then finish up by pulling an f35 out of his pocket and flying around randomly.

Now sadly it appears berating him for this isn't working so well, so i was wondering if it was possible to limit his/our ability to do this. For example having a whitelist of who and who isnt allowed to magically make things appear out of thin air, or limiting everyone's ability with server commands (so we can spawn our starting loadouts then de-activate).

Of course not being massively knowledgable about arma modding i havent the foggiest, so any help would be appreciated.

I would just get rid of him tbh.

Check out armaholic for some scripts to run on the server.

I had made one to blacklist weapons, which basically turned the screen black until you dropped it via inventory.

But I am sure that it can be done easier these days..

He must be using loskeys or something like it to do that

If you set-up a dedicated server you can use keys to only allow certain mods, if he loads anything else
he will get auto kicked

Or just get rid of the tool

it's the ace mod we're using to spawn stuff in, it's necessary to use it to get our starting loadout/change loadout at the FOB but this guy is taking it too far.

we'd need to retain the ability to spawn stuff in but we'd need to limit it to either specific locations, specific times, or specific people.

Plenty of admin tools that will allow you to do that.. as I said head over to armaholic or the arma forums and there will be something there for you..

Make sure he has no access to the server files and you can make people admins via the init file I’m sure, been a couple of years since I dabbled in any arma stuff.
