Am i just moving the triangles ?
little raptor
each point in positionAndAltitudeArray corresponds to a terrain vertex
little raptor
Am i just moving the triangles ?
triangle vertices
pastel pier
vertices are not the same as vectors?
still forum
a vertex is a point
a triangle is made up of 3 points
the terrain surface is made up of triangles
setTerrainHeight sets the height of points
little raptor
I'll upload a picture to the wiki that better explains how the terrain is formed
pastel pier
It sets the 3 points of 1 triangle or just one point of that triangle?
little raptor
1
when you move 1 vertex you affect 6 triangles tho
because each vertex is shared by 6 adjacent triangles

I have the Dll in @myAddon folder. how do i get that path?
little raptor
the question is why do you want the path to the DLL?
path to DLL has nothing to do with path to files inside a PBO
still forum
if you have filePatching on, then @myAddon might just work
if not, fileExists is for checkin ingame files, not files on your disk.
proven charm
trying to get around arma holding up the DLLs
still forum
I don't think you can
But you are using C# anyway, so there is generally no need to unload/reload the DLL, you can just live-edit
proven charm
well I was thinking of copying the DLLs with different names
@still forum live edit doesn't work, i tried
it says the changes were applied but they are not
still forum
make a dll that gets you the new name of the new dll's
pastel pier
The deform mod does a lot to make terrain transformation fun.

im using fileexists check to find the latest copied dll π

You are trying to do that and failing, as far as I can see

it works to a point

thx leo
I put the DLL in arma root folder and they can be found from there... so my script seems to work π
open fractal
forgot to thank you for this, worked well
proven charm
not sure but I think I need the DLL to exist in addon folder inorder for arma to be able use it in the main folder
its so with .sqf files and filepatching as well
still forum
That is because sqf and filepatching use Arma's filesystem.
But DLL's don't at all

no eh

has anyone got any smart ideas for not using an oneachframe

any better than a waituntil?

either it doesnt matter which i do so long as its optimised
it'll be running as long as the ir laser is turned on

what are you trying to do?

what are you trying to do?
detect when ai is looking at player
...so that i can then make the player blind if the AI's laser is on
little raptor
the simplest way is just checking their targetKnowledge
coarse dragon
i get no errors. and nothing happens
little raptor
ai is looking at player
i can then make the player blind if the AI's laser is on
what does it have to do with AI looking?

for that you need to do line intersection

sullen sigil
how do i use that to get the ai's ir laser
little raptor
I already showed you
sullen sigil
this is literally a meme idea to make the ai blind me when they shine an ir laser at me
little raptor
just do _unit modelToWorldWorld (_unit selectionPosition "proxy:\a3\characters_f\proxies\weapon.001")
onEachFrame {
_laserPos = AI modelToWorldWorld (AI selectionPosition "proxy:\a3\characters_f\proxies\weapon.001");
_eyePos = eyePos player;
_weaponDir = AI weaponDirection "";
_laserDist = _laserPos vectorDistance _eyePos;
_faceSize = 0.1;
if (_laserPos vectorFromTo _eyePos vectorCos _weaponDir >= cos (_faceSize atan2 _laserDist)) then {
//blind player
}
}
something like that
little raptor
yes
sullen sigil
thought so
i suppose i could do forEach camanbase or something and add a missioneh to them?
that way it'd work for the player too..?
little raptor
that'd be too expensive but yeah
also that code doesn't check the line intersection
you need to check that too
so that you're not blinded thru a wall
little raptor
you just need to check a line intersection between _laserPos and _aimPos
and ignore player and AI
lineIntersects works fine here, since you only need the "VIEW" LOD
sullen sigil
does that check for the laser on or not? dont think it is?
little raptor
set them to combat

ah
_objects = nearestObjects [player, ["CAManBase"], 50];

i dont think im adding it properly to all the ai am i
winter rose
why not add ONE event that deals ALL the AI?
winter rose
you are adding one mission EH for every object
*buzz* wrong
add one mission EH that does the calculations
sullen sigil
i add the mission eh to each unit not object
i think
i also dont know how to fiddle with the ai calculations from one EH because i am stupid and have never touched anything other than the player
winter rose
you don't add a mission EH to a unit
you add a mission EH to the mission
one for each unit
sullen sigil

i understand now

this however does not solve my issue of having no idea how i would do that
sullen sigil

how about you just try the original code for testing?
changing it to work with all units is easy
sullen sigil
oh
i promise im not a dog
cool it says eyes go zoom now
now time to erm
check ir laser is on and the intersect stuff
then bother with putting it on each ai

you just need to check a line intersection between _laserPos and _aimPos
did you mean _eyePos here instead of _aimPos?

}
and plz stop writing blabla == true/false
sullen sigil
i was thinking exitWith wouldnt work in that case because it was still within the if statement for some reason
little raptor
when you want something to be true you just write it as is
and when you want something to be false you just put a ! behind it
sullen sigil
force of habit from poor computer science teachers
...and poor me for not breaking the habit
ok yeah that does work now thanks heh
so then its just erm
blinding them
and then adding to all units right
little raptor
another check I forgot was checking if player is looking at the laser
you don't want to blind a player when the back of his head is facing the laser
sullen sigil
thats fine just take players orientation from 180 and see if that equals the AI's..?
christ, maths...
little raptor
_laserPos vectorFromTo _eyePos vectorCos getCameraViewDirection player < -0.25
vectors also works π

Identify a specific case where you're taking more damage than expected, and dismantle it.

That doesn't seem to be covered in your cases, so have you actually checked that it returns nil?

Oh yeah, the UGV example... In the first place I don't really know why it does work π
hallow mortar
Some animations like turrets and wheels are engine-controlled and can't be modified on non-simple vehicles - the UGV is an exception.
For turrets and only for turrets you can use lockCameraTo. You'll need to create a dummy AI gunner to make it work.
rough summit
I know about dummy AI, but im try create system for land vehicles, which defend them against AGM. In my opinion tanks turret must turn to missile and launch smoke screen.
hallow mortar
lockCameraTo also works on players. I assumed you were using an empty vehicle, in which case you would need to give it a gunner, but if you've got a player in the seat that also works.

This only runs once
So ofc it never recognizes units that are created after

Anyone here familiar with R3F Logistics script? Or acutally the R3F Enchanced Logistics?
I've customized it and everything is working just fine. I am only unable to implement ''B. Creation credits management'' (from R3F documentation) which states:
You can interact on the credits of a specific creation factory. It can make an interaction with your mission progress (e.g. when an objective is done, money is sent to the factory as a recompense). The amount of credits is associated to a specific factory and is global to every players. The following script to be executed on the server side (or only one client) adds 15 000 credits to the creation factory named "my_factory" :
private ["_credits"];
// Get the current credits of my_factory
_credits = my_factory getVariable "R3F_LOG_CF_credits";
// Add 15 000 to the value
_credits = _credits + 15000;
// Set the new credits
my_factory setVariable ["R3F_LOG_CF_credits", _credits, true];```
I don't want 15000 credits to be added, I want _credits that are associated to my_factory to be set at 1000 every time my_factory enters the trigger area. My_factory is a HEMMT truck.
I've created a **credit_refill_1000.sqf** and adjusted it to:
```sqf
private ["_credits"];
// Define credits
_credits = 1000
// Set the new credits
my_factory setVariable ["R3F_LOG_CF_credits", _credits, true];```
I've placed a trigger:ο»Ώο»Ώ
Type: None
Activation: Any Player
Activation Type: Present
Repeatable: Yes
Server Only: Yes
Condition: this && credits < 1000
On Activation: _thisList execVM "credits_refill.sqf";
And it was suggested to me to adjust the** credit_refill_1000.sqf** to:
```sqf
params ["_vehicles"];
if (my_factory in _vehicles) then {
_credits = 1000;
my_factory setVariable ["R3F_LOG_CF_credits", _credits, true];
};```Couldn't get it to work...Does anyone see what am I doing wrong?
proven charm
Because the whole thing is `str`ed
why? π€
little raptor
Beacuse it sends a string to the extension
proven charm
but how do you send strings then?
little raptor
You just have to parse them by the extension I guess...
proven charm
hmm
little raptor
Or try texting them
proven charm
another thing I noticed was that \\ become \\\\
little raptor
Yes. \ has to be escaped
proven charm
I kinda understand that....
I solved it by using / instead
maybe string getting str'ed is a bug?
little raptor
First try texting as I said
still forum
because args can be multiple data types, that all get converted to string
proven charm
alright
copper raven
but how do you send strings then?
just substring 1, cnt-2 in the extension, you're using C# so str[1..^1] will do

@copper raven
str """" -> """"""""""
yeah but that's your problem if you pass a string like that already π
what i sent would give you the string you passed to the callExtension, before the extra stringifying, so if you passed """", you'd get "\"\"" back

does attaching a vehicle with collisions disabled to the player bring them back or something? having a hard time working out this bug where my player gets injured/dies due to colliding with helper objects even though allowdamage is false
little raptor
yeah it's really annoying...
I gotta make a ticket about that
but don't know how to reproduce...
sullen sigil
is the functionality for that broken then
because its very occasionally causing my player to look like hes just hung himself when using the ascension cable π
little raptor
?
anyway idk what you mean by "bring them back"
sullen sigil
like
re-enable collisions
when you attach it to the player
oh you were talking about the previous thing there i got confused
little raptor
re-enable collisions
afaik no
sullen sigil
its super weird because collisions seem to be returning when they shouldnt be
winter rose
I gotta make a ticket about that
but don't know how to reproduce...
there are the bees, and the flowersβ¦
little raptor

I know for a fact that it's related to setVelocity (or any other velocity command)
sullen sigil
I know for a fact that it's related to setVelocity (or any other velocity comman...
that'll be why
little raptor
but how it gets triggered idk
sullen sigil
using setvelocitytransformation
the weirdest part is i literally do not have damage enabled on the player
im attaching a pole (with no collisions) to the player and then setvelocitytransform on the player
the pole remains afterwards as is intended but the player can occasionally get killed or very badly damaged by what i can only assume is colliding with the pole
unless ropes have the ability to harm the player which afaik they do not
little raptor
the weirdest part is i literally do not have damage enabled on the player
via allowDamage right?
little raptor
If you can find a way to reproduce it, report it on the feedback tracker
sullen sigil
trying to do that without any of my extra fluffy bits will be impossible for me as im too stupid
it took long enough to get the velocitytransform working as it was
little raptor
is damage always disabled?
or do you only disabled it during the fast-roping or whatever it was
sullen sigil
always disabled until you hit the floor again
i can retry without disabling damage entirely in a mo
...its even happening without the changes i made that started it happening now
wtf
ok easy way its happening when the setvelocitytransform takes me through any surface too
as i assume playertouchingground fires then or something but i dont know how to detect when the transform is finished
open fractal
bistudio maintenance page scared the heck outta me
I was about to check, did the EntityCreated handler get added in 2.10?

doesn't happen for me
are you sure damage is disabled?
sullen sigil
as i assume playertouchingground fires then or something but i dont know how to ...
thats what im saying here as damage is enabled again when the player touches the floor
but player was taking damage before coming into collision with anything beforehand
im going to retry with checking the interval for the transform is > 1 and player istouchingground
copper raven
you try to pass `""""` but you receive `""""""""""` in the extension
i literally thought that """" should give "\"" (so str this again, in the extension i was expecting "\"\"\"" but instead "\"\"\"\""), but it doesn't you're right i mean that's technically wrong, because in SQF we "escape" " by typing it twice instead of \
sullen sigil
Okay so
I can't manage to reproduce when it was happening before but I'm unsure if the isTouchingGround checks for the ground actually having collisions or not as it's possible if not it could be thinking the pole is the floor?
however using waitUntil {isTouchingGround player and _interval > 1}; has rectified the issue before i made the change that increased the frequency of it
going to readd the change and see now
little raptor
I can't manage to reproduce when it was happening before but I'm unsure if the i...
do you use Enhanced Movement or a similar mod?
little raptor
then that's why isTouchingGround is triggering
sullen sigil
yuppppppp
is there a way to filter out the classname of whatever EM uses for triggering isTouchingGround or nah
little raptor
you can use lineIntersectsSurfaces with ROADWAY LOD
and ignore the babe_helper object (check the actual name in the mod)
sullen sigil
i'll try that once the wiki comes back up so im not pestering everybody again π
little raptor
you can use the COMREF
little raptor

how big of a filesize is it ;-;
little raptor
idk 2-3 MBs iirc
sullen sigil
oh bruh
little raptor
11 MB
little raptor
I said lineIntersects
sullen sigil
...because it doesnt start with intersect
how astonishing would it be if i could use my brain
so i'd want erm
if lineIntersectsSurfaces[playerPosASL, (playerPosASL vectorDiff [0,0,2]), babe_helper, objNull, true, 1, "GEOM"] then {dostuff right
or am i misunderstanding this
little raptor
lineIntersectsSurfaces returns array
and I said ROADWAY LOD
not GEOM
and you must set the second LOD to NONE
sullen sigil
oh bruh yeah
do i not want it to just fire if it returns anything..?
seeing as its just looking for roadway lods or
sullen sigil
its complaining babe_helper is not an object..?
little raptor
I said find it in the mod
sullen sigil
do i not use the classname of the object im ignoring..?
sullen sigil
i have and it says object but im confused so
wait no
hang on
i can use nearestObject [player, "babe_helper"]; π
no i cant apparently
how on earth am i supposed to get the object
_emhelpers = nearestObject [player, "babe_helper"];
waitUntil {count (lineIntersectsSurfaces[(getPosASL player), ((getPosASL player)vectorDiff[0,0,2]), _emhelpers, objNull, true, 1, "ROADWAY", "NONE"]) > 0};```
this is what im using so far but _emhelpers isnt defined properly and is returning `<NULL-object>`

is the action there?
sage falcon
Let me check the new rpt
copper raven
just check if the action is there, it should be now
you were executing the arma's default init file whatever it is, because you didn't have one in your mission directory
sage falcon
Weird
Probably didnt save it correctly when eden was still running multiplayer
Says its checking if player is null
No answer thougg
copper raven
it's not supposed to show you that in the same line, scroll down
sage falcon
Its 1

remove all the debug stuff, literally this code should work

in case it doesn't stick to this one
i don't know about the null stuff in the player init, it's cursed
and next time make sure you have the script in the correct directory
copper raven
kay, so use the latter
sage falcon
neither codes work
copper raven
sage falcon
can i send you screenshots in DM, its not allowing me to send them here
but on the video you dont have it linked to a trigger
that must be where the issue lays then for me
copper raven
you must be within the trigger area for it to show
that's what your condition is atleast
sage falcon
i am
winter rose
I vote that you didn't set your trigger conditions properly then
sage falcon
on the trigger itself?
i just chanegd the variable name to see if it worked with a new one
so dont be alarmed by that
got told earlier to leave the conditions here empty as its in the initplayer
copper raven
conditions shouldn't matter, just tested with a trigger area, works aswell
copper raven
i just chanegd the variable name to see if it worked with a new one
winter rose
grrr
hallow mortar
Don't you need a this in the condition field to make it evaluate based on the conditions set above?
copper raven
shouldn't matter anyway, his code is just checking if the player is in area of that trigger
sage falcon
> i just chanegd the variable name to see if it worked with a new one
also simplified the name a bit lol
but i changed them in both the scripts and variables
copper raven
copyToClipboard str [loadFile getMissionPath "initPlayerLocal.sqf", entranceteleporter];
in debug console, and ctrl v https://sqfbin.com/
sage falcon
doesnt find initPlayerLocal.sqf
wtf
the paths are literally the same im lookign at it in windows explorer
sage falcon
no output
copper raven
yes because it's in your clipboard
open sqfbin and paste it, then send the link here

Hey guys !
I have a little issue with a Cutrsc
I want to show the hours, so is use ctrlcreate and bis_fnc_timetostring
My text is like ''bliking'' and i dont know how can i solved that
sage falcon
i saved it all
10 million times
spammed the button
even reloaded the mission file
copper raven
well in the screenshot you didn't so, try again
winter rose
with a bit of "luck"you are modifying a different mission directory
copper raven
i don't even know anymore π
sage falcon
winter rose
yep, still "any"
sage falcon
i can send the mission folder if you want lol
winter rose
that would solve it
sage falcon
winter rose
I'm after a long day of wiki update, pissed by scammers, pissed by a lame coop game with a friend, I should go to sleep but nooo, my brain finds this way more interesting π
winter rose
["[] spawn {
waitUntil { sleep .1; !isNull player; };
[player, ""Enter the bunker"",
""A3\Ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\HoldActions\holdAction_connect_ca.paa"",
""A3\Ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\HoldActions\holdAction_connect_ca.paa"",
""_target inArea entranceteleporter"",""true"",{},{},{player setPosATL (getposATL entrancereceiver)},{}, [],0.5,0,true,false] call BIS_fnc_holdActionAdd;
};",entranceteleporter]
it works fine for me
winter rose
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
sage falcon
whats the code?
copper raven
literally what you sent?
sage falcon
mine didnt have the entranceteleporter on the end
copper raven
class Item2813
{
dataType="Trigger";
position[]={24860.248,23.971052,21064.727};
class Attributes
{
name="entranceteleporter";
condition="";
sizeA=2;
sizeB=2;
sizeC=2;
repeatable=1;
activationBy="ANYPLAYER";
};
id=5631;
type="EmptyDetector";
atlOffset=-0.0059986115;
};
the trigger is also in the sqm, i have no clue what's wrong
winter rose
wrong mission directoryyy
sage falcon
what you mean?
winter rose
that you are maybe editing loading whatever the wrong mission
copper raven
rename your mission to something else, and open that (rename the folder)
sage falcon
renamed the folder, loaded the mission. but the teleporter still not wrking
copper raven
still any?
sage falcon
copper raven
well atleast it's defined now, the issue now is that you have respawn on start, so the action does not persist on the player
sage falcon
no i have an actual respawn for multiplayer which does work a
copper raven
did i say it doesn't work?
sage falcon
oh i thought u meant instant spawn like it does if u dont have spawn
copper raven
[] spawn {
waitUntil { sleep .1; !isNull player; };
player addEventHandler ["Respawn", {
params ["_unit"];
[_unit, "Enter the bunker",
"A3\Ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\HoldActions\holdAction_connect_ca.paa",
"A3\Ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\HoldActions\holdAction_connect_ca.paa",
"_target inArea tp_trigentrance","true",{},{},{player setPosATL (getposATL tp_pointentrance)},{}, [],0.5,0,true,false] call BIS_fnc_holdActionAdd;
}];
};
so if i put that in the sqf file it should work?
copper raven
yes
sage falcon
lets put that to the test
copper raven
well + the trigger name
sage falcon
ohye i need to change that one
copper raven
ohye i need to change that one
fixed the missing ]
copper raven
i just tested it in mp and it worked, the exact same mission
hallow mortar
If you have any mods loaded, try it without them
copper raven
oh yeah well, i did have to remove all of them from mission.sqm so i can play it might be an issue aswell
sage falcon
well ill tell you this
it works
damn
well, thank you guys for all the helpπ
now i can start building the actual mission
copper raven
i don't think you should add more objects to it π
sage falcon
lmfao
winter rose
be sure to make the most of them "simple objects"
sage falcon
yeah i have to go over all that stuff i just copied it from a template
winter rose
(and "local only" too)
that will save the server as well as the perfs
sage falcon
alright thanks for the tip

The new Inventory sorting system is not the same like the sorting system of the script commands
Does someone know how to sort the arrays like the new system
I guess I need to convert the classnames to the display name and filter it by that
but then it will be diffrent depending on the language you use ?
@still forum any idea on this ?
(((getUnitLoadout player) select 4) select 1);
Inventory of the vest of the player
naive needle
params [["_container",0],["_unit",player]];
if(_container < 1 || _container > 3) exitWith {[]};
_container = _container + 2; // Make it support getUnitLoadout select
private _items = (((getUnitLoadout _unit) select _container) select 1);
_DisplayNameArray = [];
{
_ClassName = (_x select 0);
_configName = _ClassName call A3SClient_fnc_util_gear_getConfigNameByClassName;
_itemDisplayName = getText (configFile >> _configName >> _ClassName >> "displayName");
_DisplayNameArray pushBack [_itemDisplayName,_forEachIndex];
} forEach _items;
//Sort Array
_DisplayNameArray sort true;
_itemsNew = [];
{
_itemsNew pushBack (_items select (_x select 1));
} forEach _DisplayNameArray ;
_itemsNew
#define __filename "fn_util_gear_getConfigNameByClassName.sqf"
scriptName "fn_util_gear_getConfigNameByClassName";
private["_className","_configName"];
_className = _this;
_configName = "";
switch (true) do
{
case isClass(configFile >> "CfgMagazines" >> _className): { _configName = "CfgMagazines"; };
case isClass(configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _className): { _configName = "CfgVehicles"; };
case isClass(configFile >> "CfgAmmo" >> _className): { _configName = "CfgAmmo"; };
case isClass(configFile >> "CfgGlasses" >> _className): { _configName = "CfgGlasses"; };
default { _configName = "CfgWeapons"; };
};
_configName```I did a small fix for it
It first looks for the Display Name of each Item and then sorts it like the new Inventory Sorting System, it adds the Index to it so I can resample the Array with all needed Information such as Magazine Count.
It breaks if there is a weapon in the uniform , I will fix it later
Nvm it gets worst when there are other Uniforms , headgear in the inventory
TL;DR I have no idea how to sort this stuff like the new Inventory system
It probably breaks the rearm Magazin Script from ace as well

Can't seem to find a solution anywhere else, I'm attempting to run a bit of code every time a vehicle or player fires.
In initServer.sqf:
addMissionEventHandler ["EntityCreated", {
params ["_entity"];
[_entity] execVM "entity.sqf";
}];```
In ``entity.sqf``:
```sqf
params["_entity"];
_watch = (count (weapons _entity) > 0)||(isPlayer _entity);
//hint (str (typeOf _entity)) + (str _watch))
if(_watch){
_entity addEventHandler ["Fired", {
params ["_unit", "_weapon", "_muzzle", "_mode", "_ammo", "_magazine", "_projectile", "_gunner"];
hint str typeOf _projectile;
}];
}
The hint directly after watch prints out fine, but the hint inside the "Fired" event handler is never shown. What am I doing wrong here?
wicked roostBOT
glad fable
You missed `then`
Yes, realized, still doesn't seem to work
glad fable
Ah, thanks
warm hedge
Also do you mean hint (str (typeOf _entity)) + (str _watch)) does it fine?
glad fable
Yes
warm hedge
Are you sure the _watch is true in this context?
glad fable
Also tried a [str typeOf _projectile] remoteExec "hint"; to be sure
glad fable
Are you sure the `_watch` is *true* in this context?
Yes. At least that's what hint (str (typeOf _entity)) + (str _watch)) says. Have also tried with sqf _entity addEventHandler ["Fired", { params ["_unit", "_weapon", "_muzzle", "_mode", "_ammo", "_magazine", "_projectile", "_gunner"]; hint str typeOf _projectile; }];
outside the if to no avail
Ah, got it. Had naively assumed that the EntityCreated would be added before players were spawned. Should have checked the order of file executions. Testing it with a fresh vehicle or unit works.
warm hedge
Aha, that's the situation

Logic check;
If Im coding for multiplayer and want a radio trigger appear for one player and no one else, I can have the trigger formation code - with the 'is global' parameter set to false - remote-executed on just that player's system?
copper raven
you can do that yes
glad fable
Hm, any way to grab info from a config file to get projectile explosion radius? Tried using getVariable but it always complained of the error being type string and not namespace: "Sh_120mm_HE_tracer_red" getVariable "explosive";, for example.
