ArmA: Armed Assault: Bug or Feature

Bug of Feature?

Introduction

At times it might not be quite clear whether certain features or behaviours are bugs, planned features, engine limitations, or just false expectations due to confusing documention.

For those cases, this list has been created.

If you come across features where one of the above criteria might apply, put it here first, and then, once it has been determined to be a true bug, it will then be moved to the official bug list.

Control Issues

• Unable to turn after trying to mount (and failed) a vehicle. Only the head is turning like ALT key was pressed. [1.03.5116 demo] -Armaaa
• Unable to get off roofs. video [1.03.5116 demo] -Armaaa
• Unable to move when binocular is the selected "weapon". [1.03.5116 demo] -Armaaa
• The player moves slower without any weapons. [1.03.5116 demo] -Armaaa

Editing & Scripting

• exit doesn't terminate an SQF script. [1.02] --Kronzky 00:17, 16 January 2007 (CET)
• countEnemy only counts units that are already known to the inquiring unit. [1.02] --Kronzky 00:17, 16 January 2007 (CET)

Does not seem true to me. It counts all enemy units in the list. It depends on how do you get the list, though.--Suma 13:04, 31 January 2007 (CET)

I've started a discussion regarding this on the countEnemy talk page. Perhaps we can figure it out there. --Kronzky 16:34, 31 January 2007 (CET)

• setFriend will not make anybody an enemy, even if the value is set to zero. [1.02] --Kronzky 20:57, 16 January 2007 (CET)
• surfaceType will always return either "#GRASSSOUTH", "#GRASSGENERAL", or "#SANDGENERAL" even inside buildings or in water. --Kronzky 04:26, 31 January 2007 (CET)

Mission Issues
