TFAR Static Handsets
TFAR Static Handsets
Turn placed props into TFAR-backed static radio stations with ACE interactions.
TFAR Static Handsets adds fixed-position communications to Arma 3 missions. Instead of every important radio living in a player’s inventory, mission makers can place believable radio points in bunkers, checkpoints, towers, command posts, vehicles, and field positions, then lock them to mission-defined settings.
What It Does
- Converts placed props into static TFAR radio stations through Eden attributes
- Adds ACE interactions to pick up and hang up the handset
- Supports long-range TFAR backends
- Allows optional TFAR speaker behavior, when somebody speaks on the frequency everyone around the radio can hear it
- Supports live Zeus configuration through a dedicated module
Mission Maker Features
- Encryption – Choose the radio’s TFAR code side
- Volume – Define backend radio volume
- Handset Point – Adjust where the handset cable originates
- Handset Range – Limit how far players can move before the handset auto-hangs up
- Idle Speakers – Let the radio act as a world speaker when idle
- Player Reconfiguration – Decide whether players can change radio settings or keep them locked to Eden/Zeus control
- Intercom-Like Mode – Optional phone-style use where the handset automatically always sends when picked up
Intercom-Like Mode
- Enabled by default for the intended experience
- Best used with TFAR Full Duplex enabled
- If Full Duplex is disabled in TFAR, phone-style behavior may be limited
Ideal Use Cases
- Command posts and tactical HQs
- Checkpoint and guard-post communications
- Airfield, tower, or vehicle bay radios
- FOB and bunker handset stations
- Scenario-specific fixed comms networks
Requirements
- CBA_A3
- ACE3
- Task Force Arrowhead Radio (TFAR)
Notes
- Configured through Eden and supported in Zeus
- Uses a hidden TFAR backend radio attached to the selected prop
- Designed to preserve mission intent with locked single-channel operation
- Built to make fixed-location communications a real gameplay element instead of a visual prop
