just setPos(whatever) on the unit is enough in my experience ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

#

Is the helicopter locked? moveOut respects lock state so try unlocking it first if it is locked

coarse dragon
#

it isnt locked

#

its modded helo tho and modded squad, if that would matter

#

the pilot isnt part of the squad either

little raptor
#

what is _ship?

#

also you're not supposed to throw out the whole crew ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

#

only passengers

coarse dragon
#

the name of the helo its single crewed

little raptor
#

if you're putting that in a waypoint then it's not defined

coarse dragon
#

even he doesnt moveOut

little raptor
#

like I said your var is wrong

#

if you're putting that in a move waypoint, try this:

{ moveOut _x } forEach crew vehicle this;
coarse dragon
#

how would i do that for the passengers?

little raptor
# 
{ moveOut (_x#0) } forEach fullCrew [vehicle this, "cargo"];
coarse dragon
#

that works

# 
{ unassignVehicle _x } forEach fullcrew [vehiclenNme this, "catgo"];

how wrong is that

little raptor
#

vehiclenNme is not a command

stable dune
#

"catgo"

little raptor
#

and that ^

#

also as I wrote for fullcrew each unit is accessible via _x#0, not _x

winter rose
#

๐Ÿˆโžก๏ธ

coarse dragon
# 
{ unassignVehicle (_x#0) } forEach fullcrew [this, "cargo"];

like that?

winter rose
#

NO!

winter rose
south swan
#

well, unassigning should prevent a unit from trying to follow the heli and get back inside, isn't it?

coarse dragon
#

thats what i was thinking

little raptor
coarse dragon
#

doesnt do anyhting ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

little raptor
#

what did you expect it to do?

coarse dragon
#

stop the group from trying to mount the heli

little raptor
#

what is the full code?

coarse dragon
#

{ unassignVehicle _x } forEach fullcrew [vehicle this, "cargo"];

little raptor
#

why do you keep writing _x?

coarse dragon
#

{ unassignVehicle (_x#0) } forEach fullcrew [vehicle this, "cargo"];

#

wrong code

stable dune
coarse dragon
#

grp leaveVehicle vehicle this;

#

that works

#

i done that on my own ๐Ÿ™‚

stable dune
#

Yeah, that was posting

{
_x leaveVehicle vehicle this;
} forEach [group1, group2,...]
coarse dragon
# 
{ moveOut (_x#0) } forEach fullCrew [vehicle this, "cargo"];
grp leaveVehicle vehicle this;
ship flyInHeightASL [30,30,30];

all that into the pilots move waypoint

Hello, I wanted to ask how I can convert the script below to where instead of it executing based on the group leader (xy1), it executes based on the groups variable name instead. Basically the issue is once the group leader (xy1) dies and respawns, the code stops looping (since when the unit(xy1) respawns, he isn't the leader anymore). I want it to where the code loops based on the group's variable name instead if it's possible. Thanks!

[] spawn {while {true} do {sleep 2; {_x setFace "MYCUSTOMFACE";} forEach (units (group xy1)); };};

Hey, I wrote some scripts in my debug console days ago.
I would like to retrieve it, do you know where this cache is stored on my pc?
I cant retrieve it in game because I wrote too many cmd after
(I use CBA for extended console btw)

little raptor
#

and with CBA console you retrieve it via the previous/next code or whatever buttons
if it's not there, it's gone

How to pass _sleeptimeGuitar correctly out of switch scope?

little raptor
# 
private "_sleeptimeGuitar"; // or private _sleeptimeGuitar = defaultValue;
switch(..) do {
  case (...): {_sleeptimeGuitar = _value};
  ...
};

or

_sleeptimeGuitar = switch(..) do {
  case (...): {_value};
  ...
};
#

right now your switch doesn't handle all possible cases, so I recommend the private _sleeptimeGuitar = defaultValue; approach

good morning, I had a little sleep in between. and yes, to the waypoint where you want them to leave the vehicle. If it doesn't work, you should change this vehicle to the variable name of your vehicle

#

How could I go about checking the intersection of garbage with object and making sure the area is clear as well as aligning objects to the terrain normal?

meager granite
tough abyss
#

And to spawn an object then calculate it's relative offset in parallel to the other object?

meager granite
#

With a combination of these, depending on what you need

tough abyss
#

Basically a trash spawner that checks roads and other positions to make cities more "war zone like"

#

Barricades made of garbage etc.

Would vector addition be suitable?

meager granite
tough abyss
#

I thought the negative of the vector is the invert of it's positive? Is that not what vectorDiff is?

#

Could vectorAdd not be used as well?

meager granite
#

vectorDiff is just substraction, if that's what you meant by relative offset

meager granite
tough abyss
#

When I say that I mean if I spawn an object say 180* on a road I need to calculate the position offset from that position.

#

Directly parallel to it.

#

Both are colinear.

Hi there,

Could someone help me on the creation of an ACE function (script + config) which will allow to rebuild the objects of mappings which fall following a collision.
The principle would be simple, menu ace on the object in question (a wall, a barrier,...) and there there would be a "rebuilt" option, we go on it and the object goes back to its place as on the base mapping of the mission.sqm.

Thanks in advance !

Hello everyone!
Can i ask for a little help with a script? I created this one some time ago and it is supposed to give players a chance to spawn a plane, lock/unlock it and when flying alert them about terrain proximity to avoid collision. And it all works fine. But if the player manages to crash the plane anyways, i would like to minimise the load on the server and therefore stop the running script once the plane is destroyed (i think i have this in the script as well) and i would also like to delete objects that got created with the plane (spheres). So is there a way to get them deleted, once the plane is destroyed? Some kind of event handler or something? Thank you.

        { deleteVehicle _x } forEach _deleteArr;
}];
#

your alive check will fail when the vehicle is deleted, ending your script

Hi, the nearestObjects function can return bots, but not real player, right?

limber panther

# 
_vehicle addEventHandler ["Deleted", {
    params ["_unit"];
    { deleteVehicle _x } forEach attachedObjects _unit;
}];
#

the contingency here is the code isn't going to run if the handler is installed locally and the player disconnects before the vehicle is deleted

limber panther
little raptor
limber panther
compact maple
open fractal
# limber panther can you explain more in detail please?

your addAction script functions locally, so the script is running on the machine of the player who spawned the vehicle. When the player disconnects, though, the event handler will cease to exist unless you install it on the server instead

#

which you can just write a function to do that, it'll just make it slightly more complicated than slapping the event handler in the script

#

or maybe just remoteExec addEventHandler

limber panther
#

fair enough, but my primary aim is to get that deleted when the plane is destroyed, because for a destroyed vehicle it is unnecessary to have them, later after some time the garbage collector takes care of the wreck and deletes it, there is no zeus intervention

open fractal
#

I don't know how kosher installing event handlers via remoteExec is but here goes

[_vehicle, ["Killed", { { deleteVehicle _x } forEach attachedObjects (_this#0)}]] remoteExec ["addEventHandler", 2];
#

this will tell the server to delete the attached objects along with the vehicle

#

hypothetically

limber panther
#

allright but this deletes those objects when the vehicle is deleted, am i right?

open fractal
#

yeah this doesnt delete the vehicle just deletes the attached objects whenever the engine tags it for deletion

#

i don't know how that works on the engine's side so you may need to test deleting it on the server vs from the client

limber panther
#

ok but that's not what i need ๐Ÿ˜… i need to delete those objects when the plane is destroyed, not deleted

open fractal

#

attachedObjects is the better method

little raptor
#

There's no need to attach anything

#

Just use modelToWorldWorld

#

You're attaching them to get some positions, but you can get them directly without costing the game 100x more performance

limber panther
little raptor
#

Well now you know a good way

#

modelToWorldWorld

limber panther
#

i'll have a look

little raptor
#

attachTo ruins the performance

#

For everyone

limber panther
little raptor
# 
if (terrainIntersectASL [_plane modelToWorldWorld [0, 1000, 0], _plane modelToWorldWorld [0, 2000, 0]]) then {
#

Here's an example

#

No need for spheres or attachTo

limber panther
little raptor
#

Yes

#

And ofc better client and server FPS

limber panther
#

allright, i'll see what i can do, thank you @little raptor and @open fractal

open fractal
#

createVehicle is a pretty costly method anyway

#

yw, I suggest leopard's approach

ionic talon

#

the //init line would be run at mission start and the //activation would be the script in the ace configuration

Thanks, i'll try it !
There is no config to add ?

no I just don't know how to do that, you need to consult ace documentation

# little raptor the code is right there

Fair enough. Well I have been using another custom unitcapture code then, which includes animations, like walk, running, shooting, side stepping etc. I thought it was vanilla.

little raptor
#

nope

#

anyway if you want it to play custom animations for you you have to edit it and change the playMove/playMoveNow/switchMove lines

merry stone

Not sure how you can say nope, when I have used it and recorded the above video plus others. Playing back my recorded infantry data.

Presumably "nope" as in "nope, it's not vanilla"

I might have to have a deeper look into the unitCapture script I use then. Thanks.

Strange looking issue... I have a config function which I am fairly certain is correct, and the code is there waiting to be compiled. But in the runtime, I am finding MY_fnc_module_preInit = {}. By contrast, apparently the postInit is being found, compiled, and executes as expected.

class module {
class module_preInit { preInit = 1; };
class module_postInit { postInit = 1; };
};

I am finding the postInit reflected in the logs. But I see nothing for preInit, which is consistent with {} but I do not know why it is not being compiled.

little raptor
#

unless you get an error saying file blabla was not found

dreamy kestrel
#

it's possible... I will scan for closing syntax. thanks...

otherwise not finding any errors in the log indicating anything else

Anyone know if there is a way to check ingame which bi-keys are being used?

#

I am asking because I'd like to stop people from copying my whole mod and present it as their own

#

btw I do not mind people taking individual functions and other stuff they find usefull

#

but copying all of it is kinda shitty

little raptor
somber radish
#

without giving creds

little raptor
somber radish
#

I know.. they have

#

I don't think you understand the question (since ur sweating)

#

I'll try to refrase it

little raptor
#

?

little raptor
somber radish
#

I know

little raptor
#

anyway what I don't understand is let's say you can get "which bi-keys are being used"

#

what are you trying to do with it?

somber radish
#

Check the name and compare it to the name of my Keys

#

If it is not the same, then do something

little raptor
#

but if they resign it the key is different

somber radish
#

Exactly

#

So I'll be able to deactivate the mod ingame, or give a link to the original

little raptor
#

you can't do that in the game. you can use an extension though

#

but they can easily remove the extension blobdoggoshruggoogly

somber radish
#

YEah

#

Hmm, maybe get a list of mod-names?

little raptor
#

whatever way I think of they can get around it

#

but if they copy your mod exactly and at most just modify the keys there are ways to detect it

#

if you can obfuscate your mod things are easier

somber radish
little raptor
#

afaik mikero's tools does have an obfuscator tool

#

apart from that idk

#

you can search on google

somber radish

Ait, perfect

#

thnx!

tough abyss
#

Obfuscation doesn't always work. Especially if they are a motivated thief.

little raptor
#

well yeah. I said things are easier

#

because at least those petty thieves can't steal it anymore. but a pro one can still steal your mod

tough abyss
#

Trying to stop copying is pretty much impossible I mean even KoTH got leaked...

#

Write your code well, make it look perfect, then you know they'll never be capable of understanding it only ripping it. I make those sorts of comments in my code.

#

There isn't a whole lot "clever" unlike C++ that can be obfuscated.

#

The international obfuscated C code competition can give you an idea about how clever you can get with C and C++

#

Most of the obfuscation you do with ArmA 3 code is replacing variables with arcane and obtuse naming.

little raptor
#

you can go further than that

#

e.g. you can "encrypt" your code

tough abyss
#

Like remapping commands to preprocessor directives?

little raptor
#

and decrypt it when you compile it meowsweats

#

at least they can't read the raw function anymore...

tough abyss
#

Isn't there a cost in that action?

little raptor
#

yes
slower loading time

tough abyss
#

SQF is slow enough as it is....

#

I've always wondered why is the SQF scripting engine limited to single thread?

#

Being able to offload jobs to separate cores would be nice would it not?

little raptor
#

well for one thing the scripting engine is pretty much the same as it was 20 years ago

#

when CPUs were single threaded

tough abyss
#

Is there not a way to give other cores jobs?

little raptor
#

no

tough abyss
#

I think I tinkered with that idea, using HC's to offload processing.

#

It did work surprisingly to some extent. Instead of just using it for AI processing.

#

Still was unfortunately subject to the issue of the main-thread getting bogged down and the entire performance tanking.

#

But it was possible to send a job to the HC tell it to do something then send the result back to the server.

little raptor
#

well if you have enough resources to launch multiple game instances that is one way

#

but if you want true multithreading you can use intercept

#

tho calling sqf commands should still take place in the main thread

tough abyss
#

I still also tossed around the idea of water droplets from roofs it's doable just need to find the edge of roof spawn "drips" then on the ground spawn splashes, doesn't have to do repeated collision checks then.

#

Some what believable, but cheaty.

#

Also when you say encryption we talking stream ciphers? or block ciphers?

#

@somber radish There is there this.

somber radish
little raptor
#

they can still decrypt it easily tho ๐Ÿ˜…

#

because you still write the key in your own mod... meowsweats

little raptor
tough abyss
#

Is SQF actually compiled to bytecode?

#

Like for example C# or Java?

little raptor

it is compiled to bytecode, yes

but unlike C# and Java the "runtime" doesn't use JIT compiler to give native machine code

I'm not even sure if the behaviour of the group is used for anything. Maybe new units joining the group or something like that. IME some things depend on unit behaviour (eg combat stance) and others depend on group leader behaviour (like navigation choices).

I did try setting weird combos like units -> combat and group -> careless, with no apparent effects for the group behaviour.

I am looking for a way to same people loadout close to the end of the mission, and load it during the beginning of the next one. (looter campaign)
i saw someone post codes like this online:

profileNamespace setVariable ["my_loadout_key", (getUnitLoadout player)];
saveProfileNamespace;

and

_playerLoadout = profileNamespace getVariable ["my_loadout_key", []];
if ((count _playerLoadout) > 0) then {
    player setUnitLoadout _playerLoadout;
};

But I am not sure where to put this etc

#

Okay so I tested this code, and it works in zeus in "execute code", however my question, where does this code "store" players loadouts

hallow mortar

It is stored in the player's profileNamespace as a variable called my_loadout_key.

yeah use loadFile if you need to, remember that you can only loadFile in the mission directory or it will not load

winter briar

so loadfile only works if the path is on the mission right?

#

if its on a servermod it doesnt

simple trout
#

It might* work if its a mod

#

just remember the path prefix

#

on the machine the code is executed on. You execute it on server - it gets stored on server. You execute it on client - it gets executed on that client. You execute that on all clients - every client saves the value in his save file

What if an AI is flying the helicopter? Would it still refuel it?

hallow mortar
#

Yes

simple trout
#

check if it's strings

kind cedar
#

[_vehicle, 1] remoteExec ["setFuel", _vehicle];

How would this be if this name of the Helicopter is "Transport1_1.... sorry still confusing to me lol

simple trout
#

replace _vehicle

hallow mortar
#

Just replace _vehicle with Transport1_1

kind cedar
#

Okay thats what I figured but didn't know for sure

granite sky
#

It's in an EH, so the vehicle gets passed in as a local parameter anyway.

kind cedar
#

[Transport1_1, 1] remoteExec ["setFuel", Transport1_1];

Like this?

simple trout
#

wait is "Transport1_1" a string or the object?

kind cedar
#

Its an object

#

A helicopter

simple trout
#

that works then

kind cedar
#

Okay sweet

#

Let me try this out

hallow mortar
kind cedar
#

Ohhh okay so not in the init of the object

simple trout
#

if Transport1_1 is global it's fine

open fractal
# 
private _strArray = [];
for "_i" from 0 to 100 do {
    private _length = 1044;
    private _segment = _yourLongString select [(_length * _i), _length];
    if (_segment == "") exitWith {};
    _strArray pushBack _segment;
};
{ diag_log _x } forEach _strArray;

@winter briar I think this will work

granite sky
#

Changing it from _vehicle -> Transport1_1 will work but it's unnecessary and makes your code harder to change later.

simple trout
# 
Transport1_1 addEventHandler ["Fuel", {
    params ["_vehicle", "_hasFuel"];
  if !(_hasFuel) then {[_vehicle, 1] remoteExec ["setFuel", _vehicle];};
}];
kind cedar
#

ISnt any object placed global?

simple trout
#

if it has a variable name, yes

kind cedar
simple trout
#

no

#

only on the helicopter you assigned

granite sky
#

Inside the EH, _vehicle is whatever vehicle the EH was attached to.

hallow mortar
#

You're only adding the event handler to Transport1_1. This means the EH only triggers for Transport1_1's fuel state, and when it triggers, it only passes the object it was attached to as _vehicle. No other vehicles.

kind cedar
#

Okay, now if I put a variable name on the helicopter it is now global, do I have to change the _vehicle in the EH or nah?

simple trout
#

use that

#

code

kind cedar
#

Okay, but also another question.... where do I place an event handler on Eden Editor.. xD

#

I cant find it

simple trout
#

under init

winter briar
hallow mortar
#

The code creates the event handler. You can place the code in the object's init or in the mission init (init.sqf or the init field in the mission attributes)

kind cedar
#

Okay.. well earlier you guys said it'll work to the vehicle its attached to, does this mean I put it in the vehicles init?

simple trout
#

...

kind cedar
#

Sorry..

hallow mortar
#

Look at the code. Where it says Transport1_1 addEventHandler ... is where it determines which object it's attached to.

kind cedar
#

I see, now if I leave it at "_vehicle" instead of Transport 1_1, do I just copy and paste it into other vehicle init's to apply to those to?

simple trout
#

leave it

#

just copy and paste

#

if want it to work on other vehicles

#

change Transport1_1 to _this

hallow mortar
#

If you want to use it in object inits like that, change the Transport1_1 at the very beginning to this, and leave every other _vehicle as _vehicle

kind cedar
#

So I could just do this:

    params ["_vehicle", "_hasFuel"];
  if !(_hasFuel) then {[_vehicle, 1] remoteExec ["setFuel", _vehicle];};
}]; ```

and copy and paste onto the vehicles I want it to apply to
simple trout
# 

this addEventHandler ["Fuel", {
    params ["_vehicle", "_hasFuel"];
  if !(_hasFuel) then {[_vehicle, 1] remoteExec ["setFuel", _vehicle];};
}];
#

yes

hallow mortar
#

this not _this for Editor inits

kind cedar
#

Whats the difference from this and _this?

hallow mortar
#

this is a global variable and _this is a local variable. It's...complicated.

simple trout
#

now you're confusing him

kind cedar
#

Ahhh well that was a dumbed down version that made me understand somewhat

#

lmao

#

Thank you guys

simple trout
#

In Object's "Init" line: The object to which the init line belongs

hallow mortar
#

You don't have to worry about what the difference is at the moment (though you should learn at some point), but it is important to use the right one, because the wrong one won't work.

kind cedar
#

Just to verify....... There HAS to be a variable name on the vehicle in order for it to be Global

simple trout
#

okay, if you place the code in the vehicles init box, don't worry about global stuff

#

just use "this"

hallow mortar
#

There has to be a vehicle named Transport1_1 in order for Transport1_1 to be a global variable that you can refer to anywhere. I'm not sure why that was brought up to be completely honest, it didn't seem like it was going to be a problem in this case.

kind cedar
#

So if I leave the variable name blank, and use this code:

    params ["_vehicle", "_hasFuel"];
  if !(_hasFuel) then {[_vehicle, 1] remoteExec ["setFuel", _vehicle];};
}]; ```

Then it wont be an issue for AI and other players using the vehicle?
simple trout
#

yes

kind cedar
#

Okay sweet, thanks guys!

simple trout
#

good luck

kind cedar
#

Wait a min

#

Just out of curiosity that'll make it easier in the long run if its possible..

Using a Trigger on Eden Editor as a refuel point, so when ANY vehicle, helicopter, boat etc. enter that space for the trigger, then the trigger will activate and refuel the object to full, how would this be done?

simple trout
#

at this point just place down a refuel vehicle

#

you automatic start refueling near them

kind cedar
#

Yeah but how close does the AI have to land to this refuel vehicle

open fractal
#

set a server-only trigger to pull the vehicle from thisList, set it to _vehicle, and execute the above code

#

minus the event handler ofc

kind cedar
#

Okay.. how would I write out the trigger pulling from thislist lmao

#

Do I just put thisList

open fractal
#

no

#

thisList is an array

kind cedar
#

Scripting is another language isnt it

open fractal
#

quite literally

kind cedar
#

Well I apologize, would you be able to write out that script for the trigger quick for me... xD

open fractal
#

not sure exactly how it would work (I don't use many triggers), but you can try ```sqf
_vehicle = vehicle (thisList#0);

#

that may* get the vehicle of the first element in the list

kind cedar
#

See I can read through all the descriptions and such on that website but what im struggling with is the correct way of writing it all out

#

Alright well I believe im just going to do infinite fuel.. xD

simple trout
#

Don't worry about that, sqf is..... well special

kind cedar
#

Yeah I can tell...

#

Really... confusing

simple trout
#

Just wait until you need/want a gui

open fractal
#

i fear gui

#

most stuff though the documentation is very nice

simple trout
#

You'd have better luck using Intercept and dll inject imgui

#

if you want REASONABLE gui stuff

kind cedar
#

At what point will it refuel the helicopter? when its empty or?

#

Im just asking because im watching the fuel go down in percent, see when it'll refuel it

granite sky
#

When it's empty. If you want to keep it continually topped up then you'd need a spawn loop.

kind cedar
#

Okay so when it does go empty and refuels it, will this require the heli to start up its engine again during flight if this were to happen?

granite sky
#

I don't know. You could test by setting fuel low.

kind cedar
#

True true

granite sky
#

I'd use the spawn loop tbh. Don't trust what mods would do when fuel runs out, and the remoteExec isn't instant.

kind cedar
#

Also another question for scripting..

Arma has an issue when you have an AI land the heli they wont turn off the engine, the fix I found for this is putting this in the init:

Transport1_1 land "land";```

But the heli will not lift off and continue to the next LZ until a player/ai gets in it.

I have this Heli flying an endless loop to an LZ and back to an outpost, while waiting 180 seconds on each landed to lift off again, but it wont lift off until someone gets in it, so when it goes and drops off at the LZ it wont leave the LZ until I or an ai jumps in and jumps back out after the 180 seconds is done and the next waypoint generates.
granite sky
#

Unless you want 100 helis with infinite fuel it's not much of an overhead :P

kind cedar
#

Nah just 1 heli needs the infinite fuel and maybe a handful more later on if I want

granite sky
#

wiki doesn't even document doStop _vehicle :P

#

you could try using doFollow after the timeout.

#

that's the usual behaviour-resume command.

kind cedar
#

Yeah idk, some guy off youtube do that script lmao and it worked so i've stuck with it xD

#

Well good news is the Heli did not stop the engine

#

It refueled and the heli did not act up when the fuel ran out in mid flight

#

And let me try the doFollow one quick

#

Another thing i've been curious about lmao is it possible to set a speed limit on specific waypoints? Like restrict top speed, Reason why I ask is to create a easier landing for ai pilots because they go top speed towards a landing waypoint even if I put a waypoint before the landing one it doesn't help.

kind cedar
#

I cant give the waypoint a specific name

granite sky
#

I don't know. Test what works in the editor + zeus + debug console first.

#

You're already outside the very limited boundaries of the wiki. AI code takes a lot of experimentation.

#

but logically if doStop vehicle works than doFollow vehicle also works.

#

(so it probably doesn't)

#

I would guess that it's just passing through to the pilot/driver.

kind cedar
#

Well im messing around with it, but doFollow only works if your going to follow another unit or person, BUT doMove is what im attempting to use, testing it out now

wind hedge
#

Any idea of why this isn't working:

# 
_enemyInRadius = {[allGroups] findIf {alive leader _x && ((side _x getFriend (WEST)) < 0.6) && (side _x != CIVILIAN) && ((leader _x distance2d (getPosWorld Player)) < 300)} isEqualTo -1}; ```
kind cedar
#

How would I get this to work for my heli... because it keeps saying error.

# 
_gas = fuel heli;
heli setFuel 0;
sleep 0.01;
heli setFuel _gas;```
#

Trying to empty fuel when it lands so it'll turn off

ocean folio
#

where is the error happening? also why are you sleeping for 0.01 of a second?

#

@kind cedar

kind cedar
#

Oh idk I copied and pasted it but now its:

_gas = fuel heli;
heli setFuel 0;```

It's not giving an error message anymore, but the heli is not empty either
ocean folio
#

what is heli

kind cedar
#

I also have this in a waypoint init

ocean folio
#

if I had to guess, heli is the issue

kind cedar
#

So it should look like this?

_gas = fuel Transport1_1;
Transport1_1 setFuel 0;```
ocean folio
#

well, not necessarily

#

where are you getting Transport1_1 from?

kind cedar
#

Thats the variable name for the heli

ocean folio
#

is this an sqf you are executing?

little raptor
kind cedar
#

It says it at the bottom

hallow mortar
#

If Transport1_1 is the helo you want to affect, then yes, replace heli with that. If there's nothing in the mission with the variable name heli, the game has no idea what you mean by that.

#

You can't just use arbitrary names and expect the game to understand if you haven't defined them

kind cedar
#

Makes sense

# 
_gas = fuel Transport1_1;
Transport1_1 setFuel 0;```

Placed this in the Init of a "Land" waypoint, and the Heli [Transport 1_1] is still full on fuel, what am I doing wrong?
ocean folio
#

might be private "_gas"; I've never seen it with quotes, not sure if that will cause it to break

little raptor
#

no it's fine

#

what's the problem here again?

ocean folio
#

let me test it before I speak lol

hallow mortar
#

It's functionally fine but sort of pointless, you're saving the existing fuel state and then not doing anything with it

kind cedar
#

Let me explain what im trying to do..

#

Heli comes in for landing, turns off, waits a set amount of time, then turns on and goes to next waypoint.

south swan
#

"blinking the fuel to 0 to force the engine off, then restoring it" seems to be he intent

ocean folio
#

oh, no need to save the fuel then really

#

unless you explicitly want to save the fuel state

kind cedar
#

No, I just want it to turn off and back on to continue the mission

#

How could I make this happen?

little raptor
#

waypoint?

kind cedar
#

Yeah

#

Land waypoint

hallow mortar
#

engineOn should do it

ocean folio
#

could you just use the timer on the waypoint?

hallow mortar
#

No need to worry about turning it on again later, the AI will automatically turn it on when they receive a new move order

kind cedar
#

So like this?

if (!isEngineOn Transport1_1) then { Transport1_1 engineOn false; };

ocean folio
#

Transport1_1 engineOn false;

#

all you need

kind cedar
#

Oh

ocean folio
#

no reason to check if its on

little raptor
# kind cedar Heli comes in for landing, turns off, waits a set amount of time, then turns on ...

I recommend doing it this way (it's not the best but easier for new comers)

  1. in the land waypoint's activation statement, add this:
[vehicle this] spawn {
  params ["_heli"];
  waitUntil {sleep 1; isTouchingGround _heli || !alive _heli};
  _heli engineOn false;
  sleep 20;
  dood_heliTakeOff = true;
  _heli engineOn true;
};
  1. place a fake move waypoint immediately after the land waypoint in the landing area. add this in its condition:
this && {!isNil "dood_heliTakeOff"}
#

it should make the heli wait 20s before taking off

kind cedar
#

I looked way to far into it lmao

#

Heres what I did to fix this

#

Set a waypoint for "Land" attached to the helipad, In the init I put "Transport1_1 engineOn false;" and then put move waypoint next to the land and put 180 seconds on the timer inputs, then put a move waypoint where it needed to go next.

This worked perfect lol

#

I didn't know I could've just put this "Transport1_1 engineOn false;", I was making it way more complicated

#

I asked earlier but anyone know a way to set a speedlimit on a specific waypoint? On the editor you can set a speedlimit on the heli itself but I would rather it slows down towards a landing, not slowed down the entire flight

hallow mortar
#

The waypoint's attributes should have a selector for speed mode

kind cedar
#

Oh wait do those speed modes apply to vehicle speed to?

#

I didn't even think about that

hallow mortar
#

Note that AI helicopters aren't exactly "high speed low drag" pilots and will tend to conduct extreme braking maneuvers to change speed, resulting in an altitude gain. It won't be as smooth as a player pilot properly controlling their speed and altitude.

kind cedar
#

Yeah, the ai pilots already gain high altitude on the land waypoint

Eh?
little raptor
#

are they even the same object?

#

it doesn't look like it

cerulean cloak
#

The right one is the modded one, left is base game. From what I can tell they are the same model

#

That's it in the default texture, they look the same to me

little raptor
#

are you applying all textures?

cerulean cloak
#

I'll double check, I thought it would just be one texture file for the whole vehicle

little raptor
#

objects have many textures

#

you could be applying it to the wrong part

cerulean cloak
#

Ok, so there does appear to be another texture file that goes with this. How do I change what part if gets applied to?

little raptor
#

just use the right hand object as a reference

# 
_textures = getObjectTextures rightObj;
{
  leftObj setObjectTexture [_forEachIndex, _x]
} forEach _textures

Thanks, got it sorted.

ocean folio
#

is there a way that I can convert a string into a side?

#

I suppose I could always just do it with a switch case

granite sky
#

Or hashmap, if you're doing it a lot. Is there a good reason why it's a string in the first place?

ocean folio
#

module param

#

from a combo box

little raptor
ocean folio
#

you can do that???

little raptor
#

if performance matters it's better to avoid that

#

yes but it's slow-ish

ocean folio
#

it will only happen once so, not really important

little raptor
#

tho probably faster than your "switch-case" meowsweats

ocean folio
#

๐Ÿ˜…

little raptor
#

e.g. this will fail: call compile "west or east"

#

the hashmap/array approach is safer for a module

ocean folio
#

though invalid options shouldnt be possible right?

little raptor
#

idk. do you give them a textbox or combo box?

ocean folio
#

combo box

little raptor
#

then it's fine

but I do see your point about it being unsafe in some cases

Hi, i'm trying to understand to this script, can someone explain this to me line by line please? Thank you. (This script is located in initPlayerLocal.sqf) ```sqf
#include "\a3\ui_f\hpp\definedikcodes.inc"
waitUntil {!isNull findDisplay 46};
if (findDisplay 46 getVariable ["MY_EH", -1] < 0) then {
private _EH = findDisplay 46 displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", {
params ["_disp", "_key", "_shift", "_ctrl", "_alt"];
if (_key == DIK_RCONTROL && {vehicle player != player}) then {
createDialog (["", "policevan1", "policevan2", "policevan3", "policequadbike1", "policequadbike2", "policebmw1", "policebmw2", "policeoffroad1", "policeoffroad2", "univrz", "univrz", "univrz", "coastguardboat1", "coastguardboat2", "coastguardboat3", "coastguardboat4", "zzsvan1", "zzsvan2", "zzsvan3", "idapvan1", "idapvan2", "policevb1", "policevb2", "zzsvb1", "zzsvb2", "zzsvb3", "zzsvb4"] select ([van, van2, van3, sir3, sir4, sir1, sir2, offroad, offroad3, offroad4, sir15, sir16, sir7, sir8, sir9, sir10, van4, van5, van6, van7, van8, sir5, sir6, sir11, sir12, sir13, sir14] find vehicle player) + 1)
};
false;
}];
findDisplay 46 setVariable ["MY_EH", _EH ];
};

The first line introduces a set of pre-defined codes for keyboard keys to the mission file.
Second line holds the script until the player sees the environment around him. I guess it basically waits until the player is fully loaded into the game.
And third line is a condition `if` something is true `then` do something. But here i'm getting lost about what does the condition check for.
granite sky
#

It's just preventing it from installing the EH more than once.

little raptor
granite sky
#

The include is just for DIK_RCONTROL.

#

The empty string and +1 in the select are there to ensure that if the player is in a vehicle that isn't in that list, it'll quietly do nothing.

limber panther
#

can you take it from the beginning please? you started somewhere in the middle, i would like to understand it so i know what happens in each line and what does it mean for all the following lines

limber panther

limber panther
little raptor
#

  private _EH = findDisplay 46 displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", { //adds a keyDown EH and saves the EH ID into _EH
    params ["_disp", "_key", "_shift", "_ctrl", "_alt"];
   if (_key == DIK_RCONTROL && {vehicle player != player}) then { //if right ctrl is pressed and player is in a vehicle

};
    false; // always return false at the end of keyDown EH
  }];
  findDisplay 46 setVariable ["MY_EH", _EH ]; // save a variable named MY_EH with a value of _EH into display#46. _EH is a number and it's always >= 0. this variable is checked in the if to prevent duplication
};
limber panther
#

thank you @little raptor so let my clarify it: ```sqf
if (findDisplay 46 getVariable ["MY_EH", -1] < 0) then {

little raptor
#

continues?

limber panther
#

like goes to the next line of the script

little raptor
#

it basically prevents duplicating the EH

limber panther
#

ok, and how exactly does the +1 inside the createdialog work?

#

i see that there is an empty "" on the beginning

little raptor
#

if vehicle doesn't exist in the array find returns -1

#

but you want the script to still work

#

but select needs >= 0 indices

#

so you just shift it by 1

#

and add an empty value at the beginning of the other array (which is like you've shifted the elements down, i.e + 1)

#

you could also use param instead of select and there would be no need for shifting:

_arr1 param [_arr2 find _value, ""];
limber panther
#

ah ok so the +1 is responsible for "not doing anything" if player sits in an unlisted vehicle but also prevents the script from resulting into error?

little raptor
#

yes

#

instead of thinking it that way try to understand how the mapping mechanism is working

limber panther
# little raptor instead of thinking it that way try to understand how the mapping mechanism is w...

i made this script (with a help) a long time ago and now i would like to create something new that uses these features so i would like to understand how i did it so that i can create something new from gained skills, with this script it's easier for me to understand it because i know what it actually does in the game, i just need to know how/why it's happening so that i can create something new out of this

#

by the way this script does work only if the player is blufor side, other sides are not able to use this, i assume that condition checking for player side is elsewhere and not here, am i right?

little raptor
#

yes

limber panther
#

oh and by the way @little raptor , your idea to replace those spherical signs with just a script yesterday was genius, i used it and it works! i like it much more that way ๐Ÿ™‚

#

To make my script universal i need to just replace the create dialog with something else - that way anyone pressing right ctrl while sitting in any car can trigger any action, is that correct?

#include "\a3\ui_f\hpp\definedikcodes.inc" // this header has DIK_RCONTROL, which is just a number
waitUntil {!isNull findDisplay 46}; // wait for mission display to initialize
if (findDisplay 46 getVariable ["MY_EH", -1] < 0) then { // check if MY_EH, a variable, has been added to display#46 (if not added, use the default value of -1, which is < 0, which tells the if to go ahead and add it)
  private _EH = findDisplay 46 displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", { //adds a keyDown EH and saves the EH ID into _EH
    params ["_disp", "_key", "_shift", "_ctrl", "_alt"];
   if (_key == DIK_RCONTROL && {vehicle player != player}) then { //if right ctrl is pressed and player is in a vehicle
  ***any code that is supposed to be executed after pressing the button goes here***
};
    false; // always return false at the end of keyDown EH
  }];
  findDisplay 46 setVariable ["MY_EH", _EH ]; // save a variable named MY_EH with a value of _EH into display#46. _EH is a number and it's always >= 0. this variable is checked in the if to prevent duplication
};
little raptor
#

yes

limber panther
#

nice nice, and if i would like to keep the old script + add a new one like this, for the second one i have to rename MY_EH to for example MY_EH1 and _EH to _EH1 is that correct?

little raptor
#

_EH is a private variable. it doesn't matter what you name it

It seems that ROADWAY LOD only works if specified in LOD1 but not LOD2 in lineIntersectsSurfaces ๐Ÿค”

So... if I add a "fired" event handler to a vehicle that's driven by players, and the command is run on the server, it should add it correctly right?
Since addEventHandler takes a global argument per wiki.
But wiki also says "local effect"... i'm unsure what that means in this case. Does the handler only get added on the server, even if the target vehicle is remote? Will it still fire on the server for a remote client controlled vehicle?
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addEventHandler

"Fired" EH apparently takes global argument (which arguments are these?) but has the following special message:

Special multiplayer behaviour: When added to a remote unit or vehicle, this EH will only fire if said entity is within range of the camera. That range is determined by the fired ammo's highest visibleFire and audibleFire config value. In case of units, muzzle attachment coefficients are applied too.
Does this matter if the EH is only triggering on the server?
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Event_Handlers#Fired

meager granite
#

If I remember it corrently:
Server: It fires everywhere, both listen and dedi
Client: Only fires if entity with EH is close to camera

#

If I remember correctly its also different depending on fired projectile type

#

If its fast stuff like bullets, then only close to camera, if its slow stuff like missiles, then everywhere

#

"Fired" EH apparently takes global argument (which arguments are these?)
Means that entity you're attaching EH to can be of any locality, local or remote, thus argument is global

#

Some EHs fire only if entity is local to your client, this one fires regardless of locality but with some BUTs

inner swallow
#

okay

#

So idea is to attach it to a player controlled artillery piece, and run a script when the gun/rocket artillery is fired

#

addEventHandler gets run from the server

#

actually no i'm also attaching it to a AI controlled artillery unit

meager granite
#

You should be fine then, if I remember it right server fires it everywhere

inner swallow
#

But will the clients also fire it?

meager granite
#

This camera distance thing only applies when you add EH on clients to remote entities

#

Only if you add the EH there as well

inner swallow
#

By that, do you mean, if i run addEventHandler on the client machine?

meager granite
#

Yes

#

addMPEventHandler adds the EH everywhere, addEventHandler only where you executed the code

inner swallow
#

Great, thanks a lot!

#

pretty sure wiki said that too

#

only a single LOD is checked for intersection. LOD2 will only be checked if LOD1 is unavailable.

meager granite
#

So it does two ray casts, first for LOD1 and then LOD2, and if there are any matches for LOD1, command returns and no check for LOD2 is done at all?

meager granite
#

Seems so, expected it to return first closest collision of either LOD, gonna adjust for this then

unique sundial
meager granite
#

"VIEW", "ROADWAY" => intersects with the ground
"ROADWAY", "VIEW" => intersects with sidewalk above the ground

unique sundial
meager granite
#

sidewalk ignored if "ROADWAY" is LOD2

little raptor
#

you wrote that yourself

unique sundial
#

if it finds intersection in lod1 lod2 is not checked

#

lod 2 only looked up if lod1 comes out empty handed

unique sundial
little raptor
#

I already did

little raptor
unique sundial
#

so?

little raptor
#

so it's exactly the same as what I said

#

LOD2 will only be checked if LOD1 is unavailable.
LOD2 is always ignored if LOD1 exists
they mean the exact same thing

unique sundial
#

you said if lod1 exists. it can exist alright but if it has no intersection lod2 will be checked

I just paraphrased what wiki said blobdoggoshruggoogly

#

On a similar note, is there an eventhandler for everytime an AI unit speaks? When they're doing callouts and such

little raptor
#

It depends where you execute it

#

Yes

#

If it's dedicated then player is objNull

#

idk what exactly you mean, but anyway, you should remoteExec the code

#

If it's being done at init you can use initPlayerLocal.sqf. no need for remoteExec

#

Spawnfile?

#

No. How'd it be different than just executing the code there?!

You should remoteExec it like I said

How to get positionWorld from position?

proven charm
#

position is a world pos

unique sundial
#

you cant

#

what do you need it for?

smoky rune
#

looks like nevermind, I found the solution

I have a position I found with findEmptyPosition
I want to spawn simple object there
BIS_fnc_createSimpleObject requires positionASL, so I want to convert it
looks like that AGLToASL does the job

unique sundial
#

ASL != PositionWorld

#

sometimes it could be the same but mostly not

hallow mortar
# proven charm position is a world pos

positionWorld doesn't mean "in world coordinate space" - it's specifically a special kind of ASL that's measured from the object's model coordinate centre rather than its bounding centre or land contact. It is in the world coordinate space but it's a specific kind of measurement, not just any world position

proven charm
#

and z is in world coord too in sense

hallow mortar
#

Yes, it is in world coordinate space as I said, but while "position is a world position" is true, that doesn't really have any bearing on converting it to positionWorld, because positionWorld refers to something more specific which position is not. It's like if someone asked how to convert positionAGL to positionASL and got "positionAGL is a world pos". True, but not very useful.

is there a better way of adding unique elements of one array to another than this:

#

Not that, I was thinking of something else

warm hedge
# 
_arrayB = _arrayB arrayIntersect _arrayB;
_arrayA append _arrayB;```?
#

I don't know if it is faster than your solution

quiet gazelle
#

it does look more beautiful tho

warm hedge
#

Not tested and not sure if it would do

quiet gazelle
#

except one of them needs to be _arrayA in the first line

hallow mortar
#

I don't think that's right, neither of the arrayIntersect syntaxes produce the same results as pushBackUnique

south swan
#

except if any element from _arrayB already present in _arrayA you still get double ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

warm hedge

_array = _array arrayIntersect _array is just a bit of magic to get rid of dupes. And yes, all 3 of those are the same array

If the arrays are large then it's faster to abuse hashmaps for the merge.

How to use SQF syntax highlighting in Discord

```sqf
// your code here
hint "good!";
```
โ†“

// your code here
hint "good!";
quiet gazelle
#

neat

warm hedge
#

Yup. Somehow Discord supports sqf syntax

south swan
#

it totally wouldn't ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ "Take arrayB, only leave in it the elements that are also present in arrayA, and then shove them into the back of arrayA again". ArrayA would have double the common elements, no new ones.

quiet gazelle
#

youre right

granite sky
#

You'd need to do that the other way around. append, then arrayIntersect.

quiet gazelle
#

yep

south swan
# 
_arrayB = _arrayB arrayIntersect _arrayB; //to get rid of in-B dupes
_arrayB = _arrayB - _arrayA; // to get rid of A-to-B dupes
_arrayA append _arrayB```
quiet gazelle
#

or something like this

_arrayA = ((_arrayA + _arrayB) arrayIntersect (_arrayA + _arrayB));
hallow mortar
granite sky
#

So how large are these arrays?

south swan
hallow mortar
#

Yes, and that's the expected result, since the original format we're trying to replace was pushBackUnique

quiet gazelle
south swan
#

uhm, no? The original form didn't change the original contents of _arrayA

hallow mortar
# 
_arrayA append _arrayB;
_arrayC = _arrayA arrayIntersect _arrayA;```
quiet gazelle
#

it didnt change the original contents of arrayB if anything

south swan
#

original form would preserve doubles that are already in _arrayA

quiet gazelle
#

oh right i see what you mean

south swan
#

[1,1,1,2,3] whatever [3,4,5,5,5] would produce [1,1,1,2,3,4,5]

granite sky
#

Reasonable assumption is that arrayA was already unique, but not stated.

#

Seems pretty odd to add unique elements to a non-unique array :P

quiet gazelle
#

i think arrayA is supposed to already be unique in my context

#

sorry for not stating that earlier

south swan
#

well, that's just me digging into unneeded details. NikkoJT's solution is the way then

granite sky
#

Also not clear whether order preservation matters, but I suspect not.

quiet gazelle
#

it does not

granite sky
#

For 10-50 then append + intersect is fine. If it's more like 100-1000 then the hashmap method is much quicker.

quiet gazelle
#

what's the hashmap method? i might need it later

granite sky
#

Turn both arrays into hashmaps as keys, merge them and convert back to array.

south swan
# 
_hashmap = createHashmap;
{_hashmap set [_x, ""];} forEach (_arrayA + _arrayB);
_arrayA = keys _hashmap;
```or something to this effect
granite sky
#

nah, you have to use the alternative createHashMapFromArray syntax, like _arrayA createHashMapFromArray []

#

Size of keys and size of values arrays do not need to be equal.
This is very useful :P

Because if in container have more than one of item, eh does multiple lines and adds in container multiple items.

Ah, that line

you can just setVariable a timeout on the player or container and check that before firing the systemchat.

is it possible

Can you repeat that with clarification? If you move only one banana from a 4-stack, it fires that Take EH four times and the container ends up with +3 bananas?

Yeah, after that there is 7 bananas in container

granite sky
#

Arma really is a special flower

hmm. You do remove the Take EH somewhere else, right?

otherwise every time you open the container it's gonna add another one.

I need to attach a laser to the barrel of a gun. As far as I'm aware, it's impossible to fetch the actual muzzle position, so here is the meat of my script.

_aimingLaserHandler = addMissionEventHandler ["Draw3D",
    {
        _firingUnit = _thisArgs select 0;
        private _offset = [0, 0.43, 0.1];
        private _wepDir = _firingUnit weaponDirection (currentWeapon _firingUnit);
        drawLaser [
            [_firingUnit, _offset] call OPAEX_fnc_GetCurrentWeaponPosition, //Starting position
            _wepDir, //Orientation of laser
            [1000, 0, 0], //RGB colour of the beam.  Also functions as emisivity, so they are not 0-1 ranged.
            [], //Impact dot colour, which when empty uses beam colour.
            5, //Dot size.
            5, //Beam thickness.
            -1, //Beam maximum length.
            false //Infared only bool.
        ];
    },
    [_firingUnit] //Arguments to pass to the handler.
];

As you can see from the images attached, it's not quite at the barrel due to the proxy being the center of the gun.

I saw a method of getting memorypoints etc from weapons awhile back - which should let you get the muzzle

basically you would create a simple object of the weapon somewhere - and use selectionPosition etc on it as per normal, save the offsets and delete it. then you can use the offsets with the units weapon proxy

Wish there was something like selectMaxIndex which would return index of a maximum value in the array

#

["a","b","c"] select selectMaxIndex [1,3,2] => "b"

#

or name it getMaxIndex

#

Anybody else sees this useful?

south swan
#

to go through linked data structures? Maybe

meager granite
#

Also though about form like this:
[["a", 1], ["b", 3], ["c", 2]] selectMax {_x select 1} => ["b", 3]
But I'd prefer first one as it should be much fast if you prepare your data as two parallel arrays.

#

Can be done with select CODE and apply CODE now, but I'm looking for performance

# 
_arr = [["a", 1], ["b", 3], ["c", 2]];
_max = selectMax (_arr apply {_x select 1});
_arr select {_x select 1 == _max} select 0;
#

When it could be

["a","b","c"] select selectMaxIndex [1,3,2]
```if you form two arrays in parallel
south swan
# 
_a = ["a", "b", "c"];
_b = [1, 3, 2];
_a select (_b find (selectMax _b))```is the currently available version, ya?
meager granite
#

Yeah, this will work for parallel arrays

# 
_arr = [["a", 1], ["b", 3], ["c", 2]];
_nums = _arr apply {_x select 1};
_arr select (_nums find selectMax _nums) select 0;
```for subarrays
little raptor
#

because you're not "selecting" anything

meager granite
#

Yeah, this name fits better

south swan
#

selectMax/findMax for value/index maybe?

#

although likely to create a confusion point

#

and then someone asks for parallelSort that takes an array of (parallel) arrays and index and sorts all of (parallel) arrays according to the indexed one :3

little raptor
#

I'd say just getMaxValue and getMaxIndex

meager granite
#

Speaking of returning array indexes, I always had a need for selectRandomWeightedIndex which would accept array of weights and return index of the weight that was chosen

#

In probably all my selectRandomWeighted usage cases I needed the index, not value so I had to create another array with indexes to supply to the command

I am currently attempting to make a helicopter fly to a specific point, paradrop a bunch of units and then return to its spawn position and delete itself with waypoints.
It does correctly fly to the first waypoint and paradrop its units, but then it only sometimes flies to the second waypoint (its spawn location).
Usually it just seems to hover in place around the first waypoint, sometimes it even lands.
How can I fix this?

I have already verified that the waypoints are actually set and in the right order with zeus.
This is my current code:

private _spawnPosition = selectRandom RI_var_waveSpawnAir;
private _heli = createVehicle ["O_Heli_Light_02_dynamicLoadout_F", _spawnPosition, [], 100, "FLY"];
_heli engineOn true;
_heli flyInHeight 200;

private _heliGroup = createVehicleCrew _heli;
_heliGroup setCombatMode "RED";
_heliGroup setBehaviour "CARELESS";

private _paradropGroup = createGroup [east, true];
for "_i" from 1 to 4 do {
    _paradropGroup createUnit ["O_soldier_PG_F", [0, 0, 0], [], 0, "NONE"];
};

{
    _x moveInCargo _heli;
} forEach (units _paradropGroup);

_heli setVariable ["RI_var_paradropGroup", _paradropGroup];
private _targetPos = (selectRandom RI_var_waveTransportAir) vectorAdd [0, 0, 200];

private _waypoint = _heliGroup addWaypoint [_targetPos, -1];
_waypoint setWaypointCompletionRadius 50;
_waypoint setWaypointStatements ["true", "{ moveOut _x; } forEach units ((vehicle this) getVariable ['RI_var_paradropGroup', grpNull]);"];

_waypoint = _heliGroup addWaypoint [_spawnPosition, -1];
_waypoint setWaypointCompletionRadius 50;
_waypoint setWaypointStatements ["true", "deleteVehicleCrew (vehicle this); deleteVehicle (vehicle this);"];
little raptor
#

also as far as I see your _spawnPosition is not ASL, and I guess the same goes for _targetPos

delicate lotus
#

Yep, its just a markerPos / a markerPos with a offset of 200 for the _targetPos.

#

Could that also influence the heli just randomly landing instead of proceeding to the next waypoint immediately?

little raptor
#

maybe

#

try them in ASL first

#

and remove setWaypointCompletionRadius

delicate lotus
#

How would I convert a markerPos (2D) to an ASL position?

little raptor
# 
_markerPos set [2, 200];
_markerPos = AGLtoASL _markerPos;
delicate lotus
#

would I have to clone / copy the array first before doing the set? Since other scripts might want to use the original markerPos?

little raptor
#

just copy the pos

#

tho if they're 2D it won't matter

#

you're just changing the Z

If I just convert the 2d pos to ASL with AGLtoASL without changing the z at all, it will be directly on the ground right?

#

I just tried it with the changes you suggested (ASL position, no usage of setWaypointCompletionRadius) and the helicopters still sometimes attempt to land near the first waypoint before actually moving to the second. Sometimes they even ignoring the second waypoint all together, as if the first waypoint is not completed correctly.

#

Could it be due to the usage of setWaypointStatements?

no

#

I just noticed that you never unassign the heli from the paratroopers' group

#

so they might be requesting a pickup

delicate lotus
#

oh, right

#

so moveInCargo auto assigns the vehicle?

little raptor
#

I guess

delicate lotus
#

oh... I think I know why.
moveOut says in its documentation: "AI unit gets back in - unless is under player command or combined with other sqf commands (orderGetIn false, allowGetIn false or leaveVehicle)". So it is probably requesting to be picked up again!

#

a combination of unassignVehicle, leaveVehicle and allowGetIn did the trick. Thanks a lot for the tip @little raptor.

btw everyone can update the highlight.js thing via pull request on their github, but it takes quite a long time till discord updates it

however the group event "waypointcomplete" does a pretty good job at that

#

@still forum with translation, localization. i am doing some implementation now, however im anticipating issues where the "localize" is executed on the server prior to message send over network

still forum
#

server has its own language, no you cannot select it in script

pulsar bluff
#

my guess is the client (unknown language speaker), will be getting the servers translation

#

so something like this would not give the desired result?

# 
(format ['%1',localize "STR_TAG_myText"]) remoteExec ['systemChat',-2];```
still forum
#

yes

pulsar bluff
#

what is the correct way to go about that sort of messaging

still forum
#

let the localize be done by script on client

pulsar bluff
#

giant case switch on client and send over a message key?

still forum
#

hashmap

pulsar bluff
#

hmm'

#

(format ['%1',localize "STR_TAG_myText"]) remoteExec ['systemChat',-2];
just turn that into a script function you can remoteExec, where you just pass in "STR_TAG_myText"

pulsar bluff

hmmmm
