Zeus Helmet Cam Viewer

Script/Module/Composition
Combat monitoring utility for game masters.

This is a Zeus utility that lets game masters monitor their players while they create. The helmet cam viewer also gives the Zeus insight into the experience on the other side of the curtain.

This scripted composition uses the initialization field of an invisible helipad object to invoke some magic SQF code that gives the Zeus the ability to see from the perspective of all units on the battlefield (players & AI). The GUI is simple, just click the checkbox to show the live picture-in-picture helmet camera feed. Click the arrows below the viewer to switch between feeds of different units.

Known side-effect: When you enable the viewer, it will inadvertently increase the Zeus camera field of vision. In my testing, all attempts to override the FOV change failed. I haven’t been able to pinpoint the technical reason for this occurrence, but I suspect it is related to either a limitation of or interference from the Zeus camera and the PIP render system.

The script is available on GitHub[github.com].

This is a scripted composition, designed to be placed by a game master in the Zeus game mode. After downloading this composition, it will automatically be accessible in-game (since it’s not a mod, it won’t show up as one in the Arma 3 launcher – it will be in the compositions tab of empty groups in the zeus interface). The scripts attached to this composition will only work if the server allows it with the zeus composition script level security parameter in its description.ext file.[community.bistudio.com] Here is a guide for server owners.

Set the value to 2 to allow custom attributes and all scripts.

The server list below consists of the distinct official public Zeus servers which have level 2, and therefore allow scripted compositions.
