Remove Group leader indicator & Formation indicator

[anton264]

The group leader indicator will show when sitting in certain vehicles as well as the formation indicator. Should be able to turn it off.

I have messed around with the following commands

class CfgInGameUI {

class Cursor {
    select = "#(argb,1,1,1)color(0,0,0,0)";
    outArrow = "#(argb,1,1,1)color(0,0,0,0)";
    leader = "#(argb,1,1,1)color(0,0,0,0)";
    mission = "#(argb,1,1,1)color(0,0,0,0)";
};

};

But i need an adult to make it work in the game...

Which indicators are those exactly, can you provide a screenshot?

[kymckay]

This is technically a feature request and those belong in #414

However I'm leaving it open as (while I'm not entirely sure what you refer to) I feel it's a valid enhancement suggestion for the UI tweaks we make.

[anton264]

These always show up in airvehicles and some landvehicles

[kymckay]

Ah those, not a feature request 😉

[jonpas]

I intended to do that in #1857 which is waiting for new HUD commands, but I also wanted to start a discussion (which didn't get anywhere) about which elements should be disabled fully in the first place (many of those are not togglable even by scripting due to being hard-coded, those that can be done with settings should of course be).

[anton264]

If it's any help they are removed in the shacktack Group indicator mod so maybe take a look at how it's done there?

[commy2]

Wait. Can't these be removed by a difficulty setting already?

[anton264]

Even on the highest difficulty they show up in certain vehicles

[commy2]

In certain vehicles? I've never seen them in our sessions.

[anton264]

The picture was taken on elite with everything disabled. Try it in a helicopter for example

[commy2]

Nope. Difficulty setting is "Extended HUD info" and if I disable it, these things are gone.

[commy2]

difficultyEnabled "hud"
-> false

[commy2]

ACE changes it to be off by default already:
https://github.com/acemod/ACE3/blob/master/addons/difficulties/CfgDifficulties.hpp#L9

Are you sure it's not accidentally enabled in the server config?

[anton264]

i'm running it in the editor. Only mods are CBA and ACE. If i walk around as infantry it works as you say, but if i get into a helicopter the indicators show regardless of "extended hud" setting

[commy2]

Oh wow, you are right.
We probably never noticed them, because each vehicle is in it's own group.

Those things must die immediately.

I couldn't repro with 1.56 RC. Maybe BIS fixed it? @commy2, @hello12121212,can you confirm?

I tried with groups of Namers, Comanches and Little Birds on Elite Difficulty

[commy2]

This has indeed been fixed by BI.
