[cyan dust]

Yeah, but it returns only one classname. And crew consists of several units, right?

[warm hedge]

Incorrect

Crew (Driver, Gunner, Commander) shares them

[cyan dust]

So its always the same unit just in quantity of 1/2/3 ?

[meager granite]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/createVehicleCrew has info on which seats get AIs in them

[old radish]

hideObjectGlobal is the one i use, and with a trigger you would probably only want to use remoteexec (useful if you need to execute on a specific side) if the trigger is evaluated only on server (the tick box)

{_x enableSimulationGlobal true; _x hideObjectGlobal false} forEach (allUnits inAreaArray trig1);

[shut gate]

ahh, so if a trigger is activated that has fadeSound in it, I shouldn't have to remoteExec that to affect every player, right?

what would be the situations to use a server-evaluated trigger?

[shut gate]

ty for this example btw

[old radish]

i think that does need to be global if the sound is being sent global (any way that executes on ppls machines if they got the sound playing on their end basically)

[shut gate]

the sound in this case is just a vehicle they're in

[old radish]

was your issue that it basically executed the sound so many times it overlapped and got loud?

[shut gate]

yeah

[old radish]

if so, evaluate only on server but use remoteExec and specify (or dont) who will hear it by deciding the targets.

it will only do the sound playing once and on the server when the trigger activates the dialogue, but since its broadcast to those players they will all hear it.

[meager granite]

Asking for help again

Question ^

Ticket to have engine check that: https://feedback.bistudio.com/T171270

Unless there is reliable scripted formula to be had

[cyan dust]

Tried that, yeah, that seems to work on all vehicles, thank you

[willow hound]

Try setting things up like this in initPlayerLocal.sqf:

...
private _quarry = selectRandom _competitors;
player setVariable ["DAE_Quarry", _quarry, true];
...
player addEventHandler ["Killed", {
  params ["", "_killer", "_instigator"];
  //ACE stuff here if needed ...
  if ((_killer getVariable ["DAE_Quarry", objNull]) == player) then {
    //_killer killed their quarry.
  } else {
    //_killer killed someone else.
  };
}];
```The EH is added to the player, but it is only added on their own machine, so you do need remote execution in that last if-statement.

[old radish]

Oo, perhaps.

Im confused though, surely this would make everyone on the civ side return that they are quarry and not just the randomly selected person?

If it works though, would i also be able to determine if a player was hunting you with this?

perhaps like a huntingYou array on each player that adds or removes units based on who is hunting you or is dead

surely its not player setVariable it has to be _quarry setvariable right?

[still forum]

try again on monday

[meager granite]

[willow hound]

Every object has its own varspace. _obj setVariable ["Varname", _value, true] adds a variable (Varname) with the value _value to the varspace of _obj. Because the last element in the array is true, the variable and its value are also broadcast to other machines in multiplayer.
Every player runs initPlayerLocal.sqf when joining, so every player unit gets a DAE_Quarry variable in the varspace of the unit. Thus, we can use A getVariable ["DAE_Quarry", objNull] (on any machine) to check which unit player A is hunting.

[old radish]

ahh ok ok so its to declare the variable my b, and i didnt notice _quarry in the value section it makes sense to me now

[old radish]

could i use variables to denote all players who are currently targeting you and check if they have that variable in the killed event handler? Or would that have to be an empty array on each player that appends the hunters somehow

[wind hedge]

does anyone know how to recreate this via scripting:

I need to make vanilla based ghosts 👻

[winter rose]

have you tried setObjectTexture?

[little raptor]

• setObjectMaterial

[wind hedge]

Yeah but I can't get the right combination. I tried a glass material and looked quite ghostly but would became fully invisible when they had the sky behind them

[warm hedge]

"a3\characters_f_bootcamp\Data\VR_Soldier_F.rvmat"

[winter rose]

(and what makes you think that's not the case in this picture?)

[little raptor]

you can create materials yourself

you don't need a mod for that

you can place them in mission folder

[wind hedge]

Exactly what I need!

[little raptor]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/RVMAT_basics

they're just configs

tho for more advanced stuff you might need a mod. not sure

[wind hedge]

Thanks, I will try that... I believe the guy who did the screenshot did it with materials already in the game, will try those first: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=292025962

[warm hedge]

They are not used anymore but the material is still there

[little raptor]

you can just try addonFiles and find all .rvmat files

then try them one by one 😬

[warm hedge]

No need to

[little raptor]

but those in screenshot are not VR soldier mats

as far as I see

[warm hedge]

Don't you remember the old VR soldiers?

[little raptor]

no

I mean it depends how old you're talking about 😅
I started playing A3 around end of 2015

[warm hedge]

Like... 2014? 🤔

https://youtu.be/ESoQNAVUTug?t=57
As you can see in the BG

[wind hedge]

Those are no longer in the game? And they are uniforms?

[warm hedge]

You've already reacted to the post

[little raptor]

try the material POLPOX said first

[pulsar bluff]

does this also work on props/objects/vehicles?

[little raptor]

it might work

[warm hedge]

It does

[little raptor]

it does work then 😅

[pulsar bluff]

how well does it work on vehicles?

and other props

[warm hedge]

Pretty much the same with VR soldiers

[kindred zephyr]

is there a way to know if a sound is done playing?
Say3D and PlaySound3D doesn't seem to handle sound durations, or is this something that i would have to evaluate on my side with time durations?

Asking since sounds overlapping are incredibly loud sometimes

[meager granite]

Yeah, it was a bit hard to read sometimes, but gave Arma 3 unique look

[warm hedge]

say3D does

[little raptor]

you can check the sound object with say3D I think

I guess it deletes automatically when done?

[warm hedge]

It should

No idea if deleted EH will fire or not tho

[kindred zephyr]

thanks, have to check then

[wind hedge]

The material looks good, but it looks rather like a hologram but I can't seem to find those old VR uniforms: https://i.ibb.co/QmD5c0D/material-Ghosts1.jpg

[meager granite]

Old VR uniforms aren't there anymore

Which sucks to be honest, I think p3d is still there

[kindred zephyr]

arent the old vr uniforms the ones that look like velcro?

I remember using those classnames recently, arent they just hidden from the arsenal?

[wind hedge]

There were the old ones: https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/48730002193830675/B5DC2397B1C1D3FF591517D90A6A425C5D897494/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

[snow viper]

@warm hedge @sick gazelle i'm trying to replace the names visible on the map with different ones. It seems like deleting and re-adding custom ones is the only way, correct?

[sick gazelle]

It's likely the easiest way.

[still forum]

No. Create, then modify

Read the wiki page text on the createLocation page

[sick gazelle]

Isn't there a syntax for one of them to hide the config ones?

[still forum]

Yes

[sick gazelle]

So get references to the config ones.
Hide them.
Create new ones.
???
Profit.

[still forum]

No need to hide

Just create and set name

[snow viper]

so you use the createLocation to overwrite existing data, or ?

[still forum]

Yes

And then you can set the name

[hallow mortar]

As described here https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/createLocation, the alt syntax lets you make config locations partially editable.

[still forum]

_loc = createLocation old name
_loc setText "Chernogorsk"

[grand stratus]

Does anyone know if the use of an extension can be made to be used exclusively on the server?

The wiki says that all clients must have it installed to use in a mission file, but when using the command it doesn't throw any errors when I 'misspell' the extension for example. It seems like there may not be any 'check' to see if a client has the relavant extensions used within the sqf code before joining a server/blocking them from doing so if they don't.

I am curious if there is a way around this via only having the 'isServer' part of the code ever call the 'callExtension' in the first place.

I do not have a dedicated server to test this out on, and am curious if anyone else has dabbled in it.

[meager granite]

Addons can differ between server and clients

Even between clients

Just have your extension addon only on server

There is also -serverMod= so addon is not listed for clients

[still forum]

There are warnings thrown to RPT on incorrect name or not found

isServer check would work just fine

[snow viper]

trying this while Chernarus is loaded doesn't seem to work

does it have to be changed before the map is loaded?

[meager granite]

Example 3 has example how to do it

[tepid hornet]

Does anyone have a example mission with acedefaultloadout set up, want players to be able to load a public kit up (save time for newcomers) when they join, and for those kits to always be available . I had it set up in the past but someone did it for me and I have no idea for the life of me how to set it up, tried following the instructions on ace framework but clearly did it wrong as there was no public loadouts

[sullen sigil]

edit unit loadout in 3den and then navigate to default loadouts part and save loadout like any other

[tepid hornet]

There’s a better method, of the loadout permanently in the arsenal, trying to make it so I don’t have to be on there and make it public all the time, I want it accessible at all times

[sullen sigil]

i literally just told you that method

[tepid hornet]

Ah maybe I misunderstood mate

You free in an hour to explain?

@sullen sigil

[sullen sigil]

no i already explained

[tepid hornet]

Not very well, maybe you should avoid trying to answer peoples questions if that’s the help you offer

Can someone else try explain it who’s actually willing to be of assistance instead of being a stuck up child, TIA

[sullen sigil]

i just told you precisely how you use the feature -- this isn't even a scripting question 🤷

[tepid hornet]

I have no idea where this public loadout section is, my qeustion was about the ace framework and one of their scripts, do me a favour and stop replying because your not helping

[sullen sigil]

edit unit loadout in 3den and then navigate to default loadouts part and save loadout like any other

quite clearly also written on the ace wiki

[tepid hornet]

Well I don’t understand it, obviously, hence my I’m seeking more thorough help and why I’ve posted in the wrong channel,and your not willing to provide it, so I’ll carry on seeking help until someone has the time to talk me through it, someone will help eventually if your not willing to talk me through it

[sullen sigil]

it is literally a button right next to the public loadouts tab you think they should be in

[tepid hornet]

I know what button your talking about, I have no idea how that makes the loadout available in my mission every time the mission starts up

[willow hound]

You could probably use an array if needed, yes.

[tepid hornet]

I’m not trying to argue with you, simply trying to explain that I don’t understand, repeating the same sentence, or rewording the same sentence is not helping me

[sullen sigil]

this is year 2 level reading comprehension

[tepid hornet]

What are you talking about year to, this is to do with arma, not basic English, just stop replying if your gonna start with insults

[sullen sigil]

read the damn docs

[tepid hornet]

I did, just stop because we have established your not being helpful

[sullen sigil]

right, so what is the issue aside from "i dont understand"

[tepid hornet]

When I make a loadout and save it, I know how simple it is to then make it public, but I’m not understanding the steps after that, to make that loadout, available 24/7, even after a server restart, partly because I’m working a 9/5 and can’t really give it my all, Hence why I asked if you were free later

[sullen sigil]

save to default loadouts

players access from default loadouts

do it in 3den and its available so long as its on the same mission

[tepid hornet]

Ok so I need to always save them to that mission file, every time I make a new mission, I should repeat the process in editor? Am I getting that right?

[sullen sigil]

yes

[tepid hornet]

All it took was a bit of patience, thank you

[manic kettle]

[shut gate]

@old radish TY for your help earlier. Thankfully most of what I have works rn after applying what you said 🙂

[old radish]

no problem

[old radish]

so it would be like, in the initPlayerLocal sqf something like this right?

player setVariable ["huntingArray",[""]];

and

_quarry getVariable "huntingArray";
huntingArray append player;

[fleet sand]

Ty very much.

[willow hound]

Probably more along the lines of player setVariable ["DAE_HuntingArray", [_unit1, _unit2, ...], true] and _somePlayer getVariable ["DAE_HuntingArray, []], but I can only guess as long as I don't know more about the code context.

[old radish]

thanks a lot for your help so far, the previous code you gave me appears to be working at a glance (me testing with a second client, and with another AI to act as "innocent" player)

[old radish]

private _quarry = selectRandom _competitors;
player setVariable ["DAE_Quarry", _quarry, true];
_quarry setVariable ["DAE_HuntingArray", player, true];

displayHunter = _quarry getVariable "DAE_HuntingArray";
hint name displayHunter;

Returns my name, atleast in singleplayer if i put this setVariable ["DAE_HuntingArray", [], true]; in the ai units

this will probably not act like a string adding more values to the huntingarray though will it? it will just be replaced... If so thats a problem because multiple people can hunt you

[fleet sand]

Hi guys so i have this code https://pastebin.com/R1sTvCM5 so far. how can i make it so that the hole map shows on the breafing table ?

[willow hound]

That's right, to append values to DAE_HuntingArray you need to do something like this:

private _huntingArray = _quarry getVariable ["DAE_HuntingArray", []]; //Get the current array.
_huntingArray pushBack player; //Add a new element to the array.
_quarry setVariable ["DAE_HuntingArray", _huntingArray, true]; //Broadcast the updated array.

[old radish]

yes exactly that should work, and then in the killed event handler i add another if statement like this right

   "You killed your hunter." remoteExec ["hint",_instigator];
 };```

[tepid vigil]

What kind of things (that don't raise errors) could lead to a scalar NaN value

[little raptor]

using a command that returns a scalar with invalid ranges

e.g. log -1, sqrt -1, acos 2

[tepid vigil]

I don't think any of the commands I am using have invalid ranges, here's the statement

// _dist is a valid number
// _cPos and _pos are both arrays
// SPEEDOFSOUND is a macro with a value of 343
time + ((_dist + (_cPos vectorDistance _pos)) / SPEEDOFSOUND)

[little raptor]

oh wait do you mean it says "scalar NaN" when you str it?

if so it's due to passing nils to those commands

[little raptor]

one of those vars is nil then

[tepid vigil]

It's in a variable that I am viewing through advanced developer tools, don't know if watched expressions have str applied to them

[little raptor]

I meant stringifying it in general

[granite sky]

Is it always returning NaN or just in some cases?

[tepid vigil]

Always. Currently going through the whole call stack to see what's making those variables nil

[broken forge]

I'm having some trouble getting a forEach to work with an array. The forEach will use the last vehicle (i.e. quadbike) class in the array but not both vehicle classes in the array.
Here's what I have for the code:

_unlocks = profileNamespace getVariable ["SOG_Garage_Unlocks", [[],[],[],[],[],[]]];
_cars = _unlocks select 0;

missionNamespace setVariable ["BIS_fnc_garage_data", [
  {[
    getText (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _x >> "model"),
    [
      (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _x)
    ]
  ]} forEach _cars,
  [],
  [],
  [],
  [],
  []
]];

This is what the profileNamespace variable has stored in it: SOG_Garage_Unlocks:```sqf
[["B_VKN_tahoe_UNM_PMC_01","B_Quadbike_01_F"],[],[],[],[],[]]

[grand stratus]

What is your expected output?

[little raptor]

forEach returns the last iteration's value

I guess you need apply

[broken forge]

The expected output would be populating the virtual garage list box for BIS_fnc_garage_data with the profileNamespace variable data

[little raptor]

it should be cars apply {[(configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _x), getText (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _x >> "model")]}

actually you can't store configs anyway

why are you storing configs?

[broken forge]

I'm trying to work with the BIS_fnc_garage and to set the BIS_fnc_garage_data it needs both the model and config of each vehicle you want to add.

It's a pain in the rear end, it seems in order to get BIS_fnc_garge to work with custom BIS_fnc_garage_data you have to use BIS_fnc_addScriptedEventHandler

[little raptor]

you can just store the type of the vehicle

and get the config using what you already did

and you don't need to store the model either

since you can get that one from config

[broken forge]

I don't think I'm storing the config or the model, just the classname in the profileNamespace and then using the classname from the profileNamespace for the script

[little raptor]

you are

configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _x
returns a config

or the model
I mean the model path ofc. you can't store "models" anyway

[broken forge]

the BIS_fnc_garage wiki show that I need to do that for BIS_fnc_garage_data I'm a bit confused, also the wiki states that the function is part of the Broken Functions group

[little raptor]

oh right I thought both were profileNamespace

_arr = [];
{
  _arr append [getText (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _x >> "model"), [configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _x]];
} forEach _cars;
missionNamespace setVariable ["BIS_fnc_garage_data", [_arr, [], [], [], [], []]]

[broken forge]

I'll give that a try, thanks

The list box in the virtual garage still has all the vehicles, but when I embed what you sent me with the script I'm working with everything works:```sqf
player addAction ["Open Garage", {
_pos = player getPos [10, getDir player];

BIS_fnc_garage_center = createVehicle ["Land_HelipadEmpty_F", _pos, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];

[missionNamespace, "garageOpened", {
params ["_display", "_toggleSpace"];
private ["_arr", "_unlocks", "_cars", "_armor", "_helis", "_planes", "_naval", "_static", "_defaultClass"];

_arr = [];
_unlocks = profileNamespace getVariable ["SOG_Garage_Unlocks", [[],[],[],[],[],[]]];

_cars = _unlocks select 0;
_armor = _unlocks select 1;
_helis = _unlocks select 2;
_planes = _unlocks select 3;
_naval = _unlocks select 4;
_static = _unlocks select 5;

_defaultClass = _cars select 1;

{
  _arr append [getText (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _x >> "model"), [configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _x]];
} forEach _cars;

missionNamespace setVariable ["BIS_fnc_garage_data", [
  _arr,
  [],
  [],
  [],
  [],
  []
]];

{
  lbClear (_display displayCtrl (960 + _forEachIndex));
} forEach BIS_fnc_garage_data;
    
BIS_fnc_garage_centerType = getText (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _defaultClass >> "model");

["ListAdd", [_display]] call BIS_fnc_garage;

}] call BIS_fnc_addScriptedEventHandler;

["Open", true] call BIS_fnc_garage;
}];

[willow hound]

Use in to check if a value is in an array. I think you also need to change the condition, I'm pretty sure it should be _instigator in (_killed getVariable ["DAE_HuntingArray", []]).

I'm not sure if you're aware of this, so I'll point it out: With the current setup, player A runs initPlayerLocal.sqf when joining, thus adding a Killed EH to unit A (only on their own client, because it is initPlayerLocal.sqf). Similarly, player B also runs initPlayerLocal.sqf when joining, thus adding a Killed EH to unit B (also only on their own client). However, you never add a Killed EH to unit B on A's client and you never add a Killed EH to unit A on B's client.
Therefore, if player A kills player B, the Killed EH on B's client fires. However, there is no Killed EH on A's client that could fire when B is killed.

[little raptor]

I don't follow. is this correct now?

[broken forge]

Yes, I just posted the source code for anyone to use and edit if they'd like to, thanks again for the help

[wind hedge]

You don't get an error: "Error undefined variable in expression: "bis_fnc_garage_centerType"?

[broken forge]

@wind hedge Correct because I've setup a default class in my profileNamespace variable array. You'll have to make sure you do the same, otherwise you'll get the error.
Here's what my profileNamespace variable looks like: SOG_Garage_Unlocks:```sqf
[["B_VKN_tahoe_UNM_PMC_01","B_Quadbike_01_F"],[],[],[],[],[]]

[wind hedge]

Made a version that works without profileNameSpace: ```sqf
BIS_fn_garageAddAction = {
defaultGarageClass = "C_Quadbike_01_F";
BIS_fnc_garage_centerType = getText (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> defaultGarageClass >> "model");
player addAction ["Open Garage", {
_pos = player getPos [10, getDir player];
BIS_fnc_garage_center = createVehicle ["Land_HelipadEmpty_F", _pos, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
[missionNamespace, "garageOpened", {
params ["_display", "_toggleSpace"];

        private _cars     = ["C_Quadbike_01_F"];
        private _armor     = [];
        private _helis     = [];
        private _naval     = [];
        private _static = [];
        
        private _carsModelsArray     = [];
        private _armorModelsArray     = [];
        private _helisModelsArray     = [];
        private _navalModelsArray     = [];
        private _staticModelsArray     = [];

        if (count _cars > 0) then {defaultGarageClass = _cars select 0;};
        BIS_fnc_garage_centerType = getText (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> defaultGarageClass >> "model");

        {
            _carsModelsArray append [getText (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _x >> "model"), [configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _x]];
        } forEach _cars;

        missionNamespace setVariable ["BIS_fnc_garage_data", [
          _carsModelsArray,
          [],
          [],
          [],
          [],

        ]];
        {

    }] call BIS_fnc_addScriptedEventHandler;

    ["Open", true] call BIS_fnc_garage;
}];

}; ```

[broken forge]

@wind hedge Looks good to me, you can create a forEach loop for each of the other arrays like you did with the _cars / _carsModelsArray and replace the empty arrays in setVariable part of the script with the correct array names. (i.e. _armorModelsArray, _helisModelsArray and etc.)

[wind hedge]

The only issue is that the UI is missing a label for me... On the bottom right... I guess it would normally say "TRY" or something?

[broken forge]

Same here, lol, not sure how to fix that, but it makes you the driver of the selected vehicle, I've also noticed a small filled in blank box top left corner of the UI as well, not sure what it's for either.

[wind hedge]

Does anyone know if there is a way to get the vehicle out of the garage? So we can apply a custom texture for example _vehicle setObjectTexture ""; etc

[meager granite]

Current vehicle that garage shows?

[wind hedge]

That would work too... So that the custom texture is shown there and not only after closing the UI

[meager granite]

_center = _class createVehicleLocal _centerPos;

missionnamespace setvariable ["BIS_fnc_arsenal_center",_center];

[broken forge]

@wind hedge when you select close the vehicle should be in front of you, at least that's what my variation of the script does

[wind hedge]

Yeah I know, what I want is to apply a custom texture to the vehicle when the player closes the garage...

[meager granite]

    case "Exit": {
        with missionnamespace do {
            BIS_fnc_garage_center = BIS_fnc_arsenal_center;

Should be saved in BIS_fnc_garage_center

        with missionnamespace do {
            [missionnamespace,"garageClosed",[displaynull,uinamespace getvariable ["BIS_fnc_arsenal_toggleSpace",false]]] call bis_fnc_callscriptedeventhandler;
        };
```also calls this scripted EH

[wind hedge]

Thanks! That might do it!

[wind hedge]

This is an example of the custom textures I want the garage to add on exit:

https://i.imgur.com/5sII1lL.png

[meager granite]

Well, this it your vehicle

Check it on garageClosed SEH

[wind hedge]

Thanks! This is as far I as got: ```sqf

going to test it now

is there a command to force the UI to close without adding the car?

[meager granite]

closeDisplay

[wind hedge]

thanks! Instead of deleting the near vehicles I am just going to force the UI to close if there is already a vehicle there, with a systemchat "Move your vehicle!"

Worked like a charm! Thank you guys!

[fleet sand]

Quick question if i do something like:

this setPylonLoadout [1, "PylonRack_19Rnd_Rocket_Skyfire",true];
this setPylonLoadout [2, "PylonRack_19Rnd_Rocket_Skyfire",true];
```  In side composition will the pylon be set on the server even if is setPylonLoadout 🇱 🇪  ?

[meager granite]

What is side composition?

[fleet sand]

sorry in Init of a object or a vehicle in this case. In Init of a humming bird.

[meager granite]

It should be fine

If you do setPylonLoadout on a remote vehicle it just reverts on next update

You can also add if(local this) then {} check, but you also need to check turret locality (in case players occupy driver and gunner in lobby)

[meager granite]

Why you can't create Logic with createVehicle but can with createVehicleLocal? 🤔

[warm hedge]

Good question 🤔

IIRC you can createAgent it

[meager granite]

Yes it works with createAgent too

[wanton swallow]

Why serverCommand can to not work?
Trying to do #kick on the server side

serverCommand "#kick Predator";

serverCommandAvailable "#kick"; == TRUE
serverCommandExecutable "#kick"; == FALSE

[meager granite]

Wasn't serverCommand only for dedicated servers or something?

IIRC serverCommandAvailable means a client can login with #login and chat execute the command.

[wanton swallow]

I'm trying on dedic

[meager granite]

Oh, you also must call it with the password

[wanton swallow]

Is it reason?

serverCommand can be executed only from User Interface Event Handlers, and this command also checks if that's the case.

[meager granite]

Hmm, perhaps. Sorry for misleading info, I only used it with dedicated server and I remember it being pain in the ass.

As for dedicated server, it worked for me when I did it with alt syntax with the password

serverCommandPassword in server.cfg

[wanton swallow]

Thank you it works with password.

Is there a script i could use to allow players, to do a scroll wheel, and spawn enemies, that are garrisoned in an area. Or at certain locations

Trying to make a MOUT town with AI that can be spawned in via computer, as well as CQB shoot houses that do the same.

[real tartan]

I am trying to define 2 arrays. And then extend/join them so I don't need to write arrays for each class. What should be the syntax to joining arrays in description.ext ? ( look at list array )

// description.ext
letters[] = {"a", "b", "c"};
numbers[] = {0, 1, 2};

class Random
{
    list[] = letters + numbers;
};

[meager granite]

// description.ext
letters[] = {"a", "b", "c"};
numbers[] = {0, 1, 2};

class Random
{
    list[] = {"letters", "numbers"};
};

private _random_list = [];
{
    _random_list append getArray(missionConfigFile >> _x);
} forEach getArray(missionConfigFile >> "Random" >> "list");

--- OR ---

// description.ext
#define MY_LETTERS "a", "b", "c"
#define MY_NUMBERS 0, 1, 2
letters[] = {MY_LETTERS};
numbers[] = {MY_NUMBERS};

class Random
{
    list[] = {MY_LETTERS, MY_NUMBERS};
};

[sharp grotto]

I think remotexec is better, used it extensively with the ExileMod and never had any problem.
For case 2 you would need a "watchdog loop" constantly waiting for variable changes if i understood your idea right.

hmhm didn't know that one
interesting question then

can't find it on the biwiki

ah yea but "This command is deprecated since the introduction of remoteExec and remoteExecCall."

[sullen sigil]

Can just use scripted ehs or cba ehs

[hallow mortar]

Why would that be substantially better than an ordinary remoteExec?

[sullen sigil]

it isnt necessarily, was just pointing out that option 2 is still viable

[hallow mortar]

It was already possible, the command is superseded by remoteExec but not actually removed (backwards compatibility/fringe use cases). There's just no point.

[pulsar bluff]

just use remoteexec

I have a AC-47 spooky gunship circling/loitering around a waypoint, left turn, so the MGs aim downward. I try to tell it to fire at some empty trucks with doSuppressiveFire position, but nothing happens. Code is sqf pos = getPosASL truck; (crew spooky) doSuppressiveFire pos; Any ideas what's wrong with this approach?

truck is an empty SOG PF Creators DLC truck, Spooky is the AC-47 Gunship from Unsung Redux

[sullen sigil]

are they all in the same group

[tepid vigil]

So, right now I am validating all of these variables using params but I am still getting Scalar NaN

[meager granite]

Scalar NaN means one of your Number operations has nil involved

[tepid vigil]

How can that be if every variable is validated by params

[meager granite]

diag_log ["_dist", _dist];
diag_log ["_cPos ", _pos];
diag_log ["_pos", _pos];
diag_log ["SPEEDOFSOUND", SPEEDOFSOUND];

[meager granite]

Something else is nil then

Basically diag_log the hell out of it

Each variable each step

[tepid vigil]

Looks like the constant isn't being defined. ArmaScriptCompiler probably isn't doing includes properly but doesn't throw errors

[halcyon beacon]

I've been having an issue with BIS_fnc_spawnGroup on my dedicated server. Everytime I spawn the ai they freeze and do not listen to commands

the script is simple, I have a trigger set to server only and when activated it fires this

  
[_grp1, 1000, nil, nil, getmarkerPos "hunt_1"] spawn lambs_wp_fnc_taskRush;
_grp1 setVariable ["acex_headless_blacklist", true];```

even stripping it down to bare bones
grp1 = [getMarkerPos "spawn_1", east, ["UK3CB_ION_O_Desert_SL", "UK3CB_ION_O_Desert_TL", "UK3CB_ION_O_Desert_MD", "UK3CB_ION_O_Desert_AA", "UK3CB_ION_O_Desert_AA_ASST", "UK3CB_ION_O_Desert_RIF_2", "UK3CB_ION_O_Desert_AR", "UK3CB_ION_O_Desert_RIF_1"],0] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;
it still doesnt allow me to command the units with zeus

they just wiggle lol

[little raptor]

are you sure it's not because you spawn them somewhere that they can't path find?

[halcyon beacon]

possibly, its just a small ditch, ill place the marker on an open road

the strange thing is it works perfectly fine in lan mp, its just on my dedicated server

[little raptor]

can Zeus even command remote targets?

[little raptor]

where do you run this code?

[halcyon beacon]

Ill be totally honest I dont know

[hushed tendon]

Working on a project and I'm trying to make all units of the same arma base faction hostile to each other but the units within their patrol group be friendly. I'm using addRating to make them hostile to each other and I'm thinking to make the group members friendly to each other is to use a local script that runs only for each unit in the group where it sets the others addRating to a friendly number. Kinda failing at the local part tho or my thinking is wrong :/

[halcyon beacon]

just in the trigger

ive also tried using exec vm and having an sqf

[little raptor]

neither of those matter

[getMarkerPos "spawn_1", east, ["UK3CB_ION_O_Desert_SL", "UK3CB_ION_O_Desert_TL", "UK3CB_ION_O_Desert_MD", "UK3CB_ION_O_Desert_AA", "UK3CB_ION_O_Desert_AA_ASST", "UK3CB_ION_O_Desert_RIF_2", "UK3CB_ION_O_Desert_AR", "UK3CB_ION_O_Desert_RIF_1"],0] remoteExec ["BIS_fnc_spawnGroup", zeusPlayer]

try with that. change zeusPlayer to the variable name of the, well, zeus player

[halcyon beacon]

whats the purpose of zeus player?

[little raptor]

variable name of whoever is the zeus

[halcyon beacon]

ahh, yeah might as well try

[queen kettle]

Are you working with AI units? If so, then these are local to the server (i.e. whatever computer the mission is hosted on) so only it's settings will have an effect I think.

[halcyon beacon]

the goal is to have them on their own waypoint so I dont have to gm

they just dont listen to it, they freeze up. I moved the marker and ill change the code and variable

[meager granite]

Engine limitation unfortunately. Maybe you can make all non-player group units as renegade (negative rating), but units in other groups will still shoot each other inside group.

[hushed tendon]

Yeah cause I already have 4 factions in the project and want to make each group like their own faction in a way but kinda sucks how you are limited to only 4 factions

[meager granite]

Well, you can set each faction into each side

Though having civilian as enemy prevents you from interacting with empty vehicles because they're civilian side 🤡

[hushed tendon]

Have done that and these guys I'm referencing are their own faction but thought it would be better if they all were their own factions within their patrol groups

[hushed tendon]

wait that's a thing?

that might screw some stuff up...

[meager granite]

Yeah, if you make civilians enemy, you can no longer get into empty vehicles or access their inventories

Because Arma

[hushed tendon]

If only we could call up a developer and have them implement a command to create factions...

[meager granite]

Wait, did this change at some point?

Just tested, making civilian enemy no longer prevents you from interacting with empty vehicles, they still report their side as civilian though

I'm 100% certain it was like this even in Arma 3 at some point

Well I guess you can put your 4 factions into 4 sides then\

[hushed tendon]

huh well I guess that works out

[meager granite]

blufor, opfor, independent, civilian

[hushed tendon]

yeah but still would be nice if the groups could be hostile to each other. But then again the chances they will run into each other are slim so I guess it don't really matter

[halcyon beacon]

@little raptor thank you, I didnt know I could remoteexec that function

i should be able to reword it to fit my needs

thank you again

[little raptor]

you can remoteExec any function

but did it work?

[halcyon beacon]

yeah

I do have one question

[little raptor]

well...?

[halcyon beacon]

using remoteExec ["BIS_fnc_spawnGroup", zeusPlayer] does that run on the client or on the server?

[little raptor]

client

[hallow mortar]

It runs it wherever whichever unit is referenced in zeusPlayer is local

[halcyon beacon]

okay, could I simply remove zeusplayer and have it run on the server?

Ill test it quickly

[little raptor]

removing it makes it run everywhere

[halcyon beacon]

ahh

[little raptor]

and you were running it on the server already (your trigger was server-only)

[halcyon beacon]

okay

fuck it I tank the preformance

[hallow mortar]

Wasn't running it server-only exactly what was causing the previous problem?

[halcyon beacon]

gotcha

that does make sense

[little raptor]

actually it doesn't
why shouldn't it work on the server?

[hallow mortar]

And running it everywhere will cause as many groups to spawn as there are connected machines

[halcyon beacon]

lol, I couldnt answer

I could use a headless client instead of running it on my machine

[little raptor]

is it a linux server?

[halcyon beacon]

I think so

yes it is

[hallow mortar]

Granted I was only skimming the previous discussion, but I thought it was that it did "work", but Zeus couldn't give them orders because not local

Which also doesn't make a ton of sense, I've been Zeus giving orders to server-spawned units before

but that seemed to be the conclusion

[halcyon beacon]

the units were just flat out frozen after spawning until I used lepoards code

[little raptor]

well it created them but they didn't follow any orders (not even server-only ones)

[halcyon beacon]

yeah

[little raptor]

yeah which is why I said it makes no sense

[little raptor]

probably related to this

[halcyon beacon]

most likely

fuck it

[little raptor]

what is the version of Arma on the linux server?

[hallow mortar]

I also operate on a Linux server, and I've had no issues spawning groups with fnc_spawnGroup and giving them LAMBS tasks 🤔

[halcyon beacon]

let me see

[fleet sand]

Hi guys i have a question is there a way to lock side turrets of a ghosthawk. or at least disable them from fireing ?

[hallow mortar]

lockTurret

You can also take away all their ammo if you need the seat space

[fleet sand]

Will that disable them from fireing even if the player is all ready in a gunner seat ?

[hallow mortar]

No, it only locks it, which means to prevent units from getting in or out of it

[fleet sand]

Yea well i need a way to disable fireing of a gunner seats with out takeing ammo and readding it.

[hallow mortar]

There isn't one

You have to either lock the seat, or remove its ammo. There is no "safety switch" command.
Removing and readding ammo is very easy.

Well, I suppose you could also remove the weapon, but that's an either/or with removing the ammo

[fleet sand]

The problem with readding ammo i have is how to save how mutch is fired after the gun was locked.

Also i am planing to make this as a composition to play on Public Zeus.

[halcyon beacon]

@little raptor is the game version in a specific file?

or would it just be in the server console on start up?

[little raptor]

give debug console access to the zeus player then run productVersion using server exec

game version is also mentioned in the rpt

[halcyon beacon]

["Arma 3","Arma3",212,150301,"Stable",true,"Linux","x64"]

[little raptor]

try updating to the latest profiling

[halcyon beacon]

Im guessing thats the latest update

[hallow mortar]

Being a composition shouldn't matter (for this, anyway).
As a starter, try removing the weapon. I'm not sure if it removes the relevant magazines as well; if not, you're all good, the previous mags will still be there.
If it does, you'll have to use currentMagazineDetail to get the ammo count, which isn't fun but is possible.

[little raptor]

no it's the latest stable update

not profiling

[halcyon beacon]

gotcha

[little raptor]

#perf_prof_branch message

there is a path finding fix too but it's related to amphibious vehicles

[sullen sigil]

should x86 dlls be suffixed with _x86 as with 64 bit?

[little raptor]

no

[sullen sigil]

what's used for 32 bit dll then?

[little raptor]

nothing

[sullen sigil]

oh

[little raptor]

its usual name

[sullen sigil]

what

im confused

[little raptor]

I mean no suffix or anything myExt.dll

[sullen sigil]

mydll.dll
mydll_x64.dll
mydll would get used on an x86 machine?

[little raptor]

yes

[sullen sigil]

as well as x32 machine?

[little raptor]

there's no x32 machine

[hallow mortar]

32-bit is x86

[sullen sigil]

oh, right.

[hallow mortar]

It has no suffix because back in the day, there was only 32-bit. 64-bit was added later.

[sullen sigil]

Yeah, I'd figured -- just thought 86 bit was a thing for some reason lmao

will probably need a hand in a mo then once i've figured out the issue here as a3 is complaining of x64 dll being x86

written in c# using visual studio

have got unmanagedexports and dllexport installed too

[halcyon beacon]

@little raptor to be crystal clear, id upload the new server exe and change my launch params to use that one insead, and thats it?

[sullen sigil]

despite building with this

[fleet sand]

Ty i manage to get it to work here is the code. Now the question i have will this work on multiplayer do i need to remoteExec addaction if its compostion ?:

this addAction ["<t size='1.5'>Lock Left Turret</t>",{
    params ["_target","_caller","_id"];
    private _actMenu = (_target actionParams _id) select 0;
    if(_actMenu isEqualTo "<t size='1.5'>Lock Left Turret</t>") then {
        _actMenu = "<t size='1.5'>Unlock Left Turret</t>";
        _target  removeWeaponTurret ["LMG_Minigun_Transport",[1]];
    }else {
        _actMenu = "<t size='1.5'>Lock Left Turret</t>";
        _target addWeaponTurret ["LMG_Minigun_Transport", [1]];
    };
    _target setUserActionText [_id,_actMenu];
},
nil,0.2,true,true,"","_this == currentPilot vehicle _target",50,false,"",""];

[hallow mortar]

Yes, init code for a Zeus-deployed composition is only executed on the machine that placed it

[fleet sand]

Now i am confused a bit i made composition with setPylonLoadout witch is 🇱 🇪 that dosent need to remoteExec. but addAction witch is also 🇱 🇪 needs to be remoteExecuted ?

[meager granite]

If you execute setPylonLoadout where vehicle\turret is local, game will update weapons\magazines state to other clients by itself soon after

addActions are fully scripted, engine doesn't broadcast them anywhere, so you have to do it yourself

Also

_actMenu isEqualTo "<t size='1.5'>Lock Left Turret</t>"
```![notlikemeowcry](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/724201124369793068.webp?size=128 "notlikemeowcry")

[fleet sand]

I know but how i would make it better ?

[meager granite]

If your lock state means deleted weapon, check if you have that weapon

Also if that turret is occupied by remote player, remove\add weapon turret won't work

[thorn saffron]

Anybody here familiar with ACRE scripting.
I'm looking for a way to set the voice volume to max loudness via script, but I'm having trouble finding the bit that is responsible for the voice volume.

[meager granite]

this addAction ["<t size='1.5'>Lock Left Turret</t>",{
    params ["_target","_caller","_id"];
    [_target, ["LMG_Minigun_Transport",[1]]] remoteExecCall ["removeWeaponTurret", 0];
},
nil,0.2,true,true,"","_this == currentPilot vehicle _target && ('LMG_Minigun_Transport' in (_target weaponsTurret [1]))",50,false,"",""];

this addAction ["<t size='1.5'>Unlock Left Turret</t>",{
    params ["_target","_caller","_id"];
    [_target, ["LMG_Minigun_Transport",[1]]] remoteExecCall ["addWeaponTurret", 0];
},
nil,0.2,true,true,"","_this == currentPilot vehicle _target && !('LMG_Minigun_Transport' in (_target weaponsTurret [1]))",50,false,"",""];

Sure you can modify existing action, but it would be much cleaner to have two that show with opposite conditions

[fleet sand]

The problem with that is i allready have 4 actions 2 for animateing the doors and 2 for turrets. if i add 2 actions for each of the action then that would be 8 actions witch can be a lot of action in scroll wheele

[hallow mortar]

They have a condition so they don't all show at the same time

The actions to unlock are only visible when the guns are locked, and vice versa

[fleet sand]

oh yea

[tough abyss]

I really wish that imlemented the JVM in arma3

[fleet sand]

Last Question how would i applay this with doors animateDoor what would be check to see if the door is allready open ?

this addAction ["<t size='1.2'>Open Left Door</t>",{
    params ["_target","_caller","_id"];
    _target animateDoor ["Door_L", 1];
},
nil,0.2,true,true,"","_this == currentPilot vehicle _target",50,false,"",""];

[meager granite]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/animationPhase

Use this command in condition to return animation state

[little raptor]

you can just replace them. also they're not exes

[little raptor]

you should probably check the platform target

[little raptor]

I haven't used .NET 6 for a while tho

[sullen sigil]

tried it with it as any cpu as well, no dice

[little raptor]

you can try with .NET framework too

I haven't had problems with that one.

I have yet to try .NET 6 with Arma

[sullen sigil]

wdym by that?

[little raptor]

.NET 6 and stuff are ".NET Core" stuff meant for cross platform dev. windows specific is .NET Framework (tho it's much older)

[sullen sigil]

It's targeting .net 6 for specific version of windows

[little raptor]

like I said I haven't used .NET 6 in a while so...

try with .NET framework 4.7.x first to see if it even works with that

[sullen sigil]

iirc what I'm trying to use isn't supported in 4.7

https://github.com/SpicyBagpipes/KJW_ExtensionTesting_VoiceToText/blob/bba25f838c336d92e2259837dcd903292a5ad923/KJW_ExtensionTesting_VoiceToText/Extension.cs#L58

Even this callback doesn't do anything 😅

[little raptor]

well just build something empty to see if it works at all

[little raptor]

not found

probably private

[sullen sigil]

oh mb

there, made public

[halcyon beacon]

@little raptor I figured it out

[little raptor]

what doesn't work in 4.7?

[halcyon beacon]

its some mod Im using

I have to go through and figure out which one it is 🙂

[sullen sigil]

voice recognition system

have to use deprecated version with much worse accuracy

[little raptor]

am I blind?

I don't see anything in that code

[little raptor]

Lambs...?

[halcyon beacon]

no not lambs

I loading vanilla with lambs and 3den zen to test

and cba etc

[sullen sigil]

oh, wrong cs file mb -- worker.cs contains it but still no callback from main

[halcyon beacon]

only basic basic stuff its all working properly

no remote exec needed

just a trigger set to server only

[little raptor]

well just try without that stuff with .NET 4.7 to see if it even works

that extension.cs file can compile fine (if you remove Worker)

[sullen sigil]

rgr i'll try a wiki example or something in 4.7

[little raptor]

but I suspect the problem is the RGiesecke stuff

iirc I had problems with that too
and used a different thing instead

[sullen sigil]

thats dllexport, copied from wiki

Oh, what'd you do instead?

[little raptor]

don't remember
let me search

[little raptor]

this:
https://github.com/3F/DllExport

[sullen sigil]

Ah, thanks -- I'll give that a try in a while and see how it goes, will post in #community_wiki to get the example updated if so

[little raptor]

lol that also uses RGiesecke

maybe not that?

[tough abyss]

I want to make a more flexible radio system with diffrent antennas and radios, handheld and base units it would of been possible with the JVM dont think its possible with SQF is it?

[little raptor]

I don't really remember

[sullen sigil]

Yeah I copied the example lol

hence saying example may need updating 😅

[little raptor]

no I mean that library

[little raptor]

this

[sullen sigil]

Oh right

[little raptor]

also uses RGiesecke

[sullen sigil]

if it's nothing glaringly obvious in my code I'll assume it's exporting and troubleshoot using wiki example then

as callextension on my dll is returning ""

[little raptor]

didn't your dll even print error?

[little raptor]

this?

[sullen sigil]

nope

if it doesnt give me an x86 from x64 error it gives no errors

script or rpt

[little raptor]

well does it still give that error or not?

[sullen sigil]

nope

[sullen sigil]

not when building like this

without the platform target it gives it

[little raptor]

then what's the problem?

[sullen sigil]

no the other way around

[sullen sigil]

nothing happens

[little raptor]

then it's the dllexport's problem

[sullen sigil]

roger -- is there any way of me rectifying that on .NET 6.0?

or is it likely a versioning error

[little raptor]

well all I know is that .NET core can be problematic

I'd personally start with .NET framework 4.7 first

I know 3.5 worked too

but that's way too old

[sullen sigil]

Yeah this doesn't date back to 4.7

wait I'm building for .net but recognizer is for winrt

i am a whole lot of confused

[tender fossil]

I got it working, you need to use .NET Framework 4.8 (if needed, otherwise just use newer .NET versions)

[sullen sigil]

You should just be using the build dropdown option right?

[tender fossil]

What editor are you using? I just used the nuget package in Visual Studio and made sure that it's up-to-date

And yeah

Clean first and then rebuild just to make extra sure haha

[sullen sigil]

visual studio yeah

I'll try again after a clean and rebuild then -- should be closing the gui it opens right?

[halcyon beacon]

@little raptor @hallow mortar for the frozen ai with fnc_spawnGroup it was the mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2073987581&searchtext=advanced fucking with everything

[tender fossil]

Here's example of my code: ```csharp
using RGiesecke.DllExport;

public class YourClass
{
[DllExport("_RVExtension@12", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Winapi)]

    public static void RvExtension(StringBuilder output, int outputSize, [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)] string args)

But just as an example

[tender fossil]

We've had the same issue actually, can confirm it's caused by this mod 😄

Funny coincidence

[sullen sigil]

are you building separate dlls? I'm using wiki example with #if WIN64 and so on

wait ignore that

stupid questoin

[halcyon beacon]

I didnt realize ace has its own rappel 🙂

fun times

[tender fossil]

(This just because Arma 2: OA is 32-bit)

[sullen sigil]

Yeah I'd forgotten 😅

Odd that I'm doing the same thing in that case -- I'll try clean and rebuild and then try remove the if statements and see what that does

[tender fossil]

IIRC I had some issue with finding the correct calling convention but got it to work eventually

[sullen sigil]

should just be "yourdll" callextension "functionstringthing" right

[tender fossil]

About like that yeah, AFAIK the BIKI page is correct

[little raptor]

yes. like I said it doesn't work with .NET core properly

[little raptor]

well the mod is old so...

[tender fossil]

Ah, that's true actually, I was using .NET Core in the same project but in different app so I didn't recall it correctly

[sullen sigil]

so just ignore dllexport's gui?

[tender fossil]

What GUI? Can you take a screenshot?

I've just used the code/project dependency via nuget

[sullen sigil]

this thing

[tender fossil]

I guess you're not using nuget then or there has been some misunderstanding

[sullen sigil]

I install it via nuget and that appears

[tender fossil]

Can you share a link to the version you've installed via nuget?

[sullen sigil]

https://www.nuget.org/packages/DllExport/1.7.4?_src=template

[tender fossil]

I'm using this one, but I have no idea whether it works in Arma 3 though. But it should be the correct one I think

[sullen sigil]

I've got that installed as well 😅

...that could be causing problems

[tender fossil]

Most likely yes

[sullen sigil]

that however causes problems with dllexport now being not found

oh nvm uninstalled the wrong one ffs

[tender fossil]

I'm not aware of any reason why the interface would have changed (because it's only passing strings back and forth after all) so my guess is that it should work in Arma 3 too, you just need to add the RVExtension entry points stuff differently in Arma 3 vs. Arma 2

[sullen sigil]

wiki has been quite confusing with which to use but i think it should be the other one with this version of .NET

[tender fossil]

What version are you using right now?

6.0

targeting specific windows version

[tender fossil]

Ah, then I don't know since I'm moving to Arma 3 only now 😅

[sullen sigil]

i think i do need to be using that gui but i now cant get it to open again

[tender fossil]

Oh boy

[sullen sigil]

biki is confusing me too because it says dllexport but links to unmanagedexports

but then the sources takes you out to dllexport

[cyan kayak]

@tough abyss check out ACRE: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=19324 or TFAR: http://radio.task-force.ru/en/

[sullen sigil]

yeah copy pasting biki example is giving same result on .net 6.0 -- but can't build on net48 targetframework

[simple mantle]

hey ! im trying to make a player marker script on altis life to only show the player , its executed in initplayerlocal but its showing the marker for everyone else too

i have no ideia what im doing and why is not working

[digital hollow]

If you use a non ...Local marker command, the marker is made global. So if it's supposed to be a local marker, only use the local versions of marker commands on it.

[simple mantle]

ok

thanks for the help

[simple mantle]

createMarkerLocal [_marker, player]; its the one used , and according to the wiki its supposed to only show the marker on the machine who created it

do you think i may be executing this on the wrong init file ?

[digital hollow]

that part is fine. when you change something on the marker, like setMarkerColor (non-local), it makes the marker global. see yellow box here https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/createMarkerLocal

[simple mantle]

ohh got it

thanks again

[grim pasture]

hi, I got a file containing this

{
    #include "spawnAI\factionConfigs\vanilla\CfgGroupsNATO.cpp"
    #include "spawnAI\factionConfigs\vanilla\CfgGroupsCSAT.cpp"
    #include "spawnAI\factionConfigs\vanilla\CfgGroupsAAF.cpp"
};```it's being loaded after mission start and I want to exchange the files being included based on mission parameters
so if my parameter "IndepFaction" is 1 instead of the default 0 I would want to have this result
```class CfgGroups
{
    #include "spawnAI\factionConfigs\vanilla\CfgGroupsNATO.cpp"
    #include "spawnAI\factionConfigs\vanilla\CfgGroupsCSAT.cpp"
    #include "spawnAI\factionConfigs\vanilla\CfgGroupsLDF.cpp"
};```with a file for LDF instead of AAF
how can I do this or would some workaround be more appropriate?

[little raptor]

I doubt you can do that since afaik mission parameters are loaded from config too, so config is already parsed
yeah they are:
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Description.ext#Mission_Parameters

[grim pasture]

I didn't include this file in the description or any init files hoping to avoid that
but I guess if that is the case I'll just do something else
already got a workaround in mind but I would've preferred a solution like this
thanks anyway

[little raptor]

then how would it be loaded if it's not being loaded by description.ext?

[grim pasture]

with loadConfig
works perfectly fine so far

[little raptor]

oh right. you just pass the configs to some function then?

[grim pasture]

yup

[little raptor]

well then there is a solution

use __EVAL

[grim pasture]

I'll look into it, thanks

[simple mantle]

but for example SetmarkerText i culd no find a local version of it

SetmarkerTextLocal

[winter rose]

yep

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setMarkerTextLocal

[simple mantle]

im dumb

my bad

[little raptor]

tho __EVAL would complicate things. why not just create 2 versions of this file?

since you don't care how many configs you have anyway

even if there are more classes than that you can just #include those parts:

// file1.cpp
#include "otherCommonStuff.hpp"
#include "aafStuffBlabla.hpp"

and similarly one for LDF

[grim pasture]

I intend to add a lot more different files so I only wanted to load what is necessary and I also want the other included files to be changeable by parameters so making different files for every possibly combination would be very inconvenient
I'm trying to make it work with EVAL (to no success so far)
if it really doesn't work I'll try something else
I'm converting the configs into hashmaps anyway so instead of changing the root config file I'll just load the individual files and insert them in the hashmap

[little raptor]

well yeah if you don't need configs why use configs?!

I thought you wanted to pass it to some BIS function or something

if it's your own function there's no need

[grim pasture]

that is a fair point
ig I just got tunnel vision since I started using configs and ran into more and more problems with them
never got the idea to just use something else tbh

[sullen sigil]

r.e previous issue; currently no dll exports for .NET 6.0 as far as I can find

Think UnmanagedCallersOnly may be what I'm looking for but unsure

[little raptor]

I'm not really familiar with .NET but isn't it possible to compile 2 different dlls with different .NET versions and use some .NET interface to interact between the two?

[sullen sigil]

I'm not really familiar with .NET either, this is a learning exercise to me

UnmanagedCallersOnly doesn't work for BI function I don't think

not bi functino

the arma dll specific bits

[little raptor]

well why not ask this on stackoverflow or something?

[sullen sigil]

because that tends to lead to poor suggestions and even worse results from my experience

[little raptor]

ask chat GPT 😛

or new bing

[sullen sigil]

💀

[little raptor]

that's not what I said to ask...but if it can't tell that one right then meh

[sullen sigil]

I can't even get the dll to work in .NET 4.8 afaik

I'll retry but was having issues

[little raptor]

what was the issue?

[sullen sigil]

same as before, nothing happening with no rpt error

[little raptor]

let me try it myself in a minute

[sullen sigil]

introduced in .NET 5.0 but unsure if it's compatible with RVExtensionRegisterCallback bits

Ah no, forgot -- it didn't build with this error

with targetframework of net48

[little raptor]

well did you try that one with .NET 6?

[sullen sigil]

yes, unmanagedexports doesn't support .NET 6.0 so does nothing

Just tested BIKI example w/ callback yet again in .NET 6.0 and same issue, added callback mission eh too and it also returned nothing

[fair drum]

For those C#'ers out there. Can I keep using VSC or do I really need to get VS instead?

[wintry yoke]

Would anyone mind helping me modify a template for Antistasi? I'm trying to incorporate modded uniforms into the game for only the player, but I can't seem to get the AI to keep their hands off of them

[little raptor]

VS is better

VSC is only good for Python and JS

[sullen sigil]

aha. i have progress, it crashes arma 🙂

using https://www.nuget.org/packages/UnmanagedExports.Repack.Upgrade/1.2.1?_src=template

Exception code: E0434352 at 2E6DCD29 but no other useful info produced in rpt

[little raptor]

well I just tried the example on wiki and it works

[sullen sigil]

which .net version?

[little raptor]

4.7

I'll try 6 too

[sullen sigil]

yes please as i think im going insane

[sullen sigil]

package reference changes from 4.7 to 6 iirc which is why i used this one

[cobalt path]

question, I used

profileNamespace setVariable ["stalkov_01_8", (getUnitLoadout player)]; 
saveProfileNamespace;

to save everyones loadout. Does this save permanently? As in can I load people loadouts like a week later?

[sullen sigil]

so long as theyre on the same profile

[cobalt path]

where does it save specifically? Can I find the file?

nvm its profilenamespace I will look up bohemia forum

[sullen sigil]

profileNamespace getVariable ["stalkov_01_8",[]]

[little raptor]

with .NET 6?

[sullen sigil]

yep

[sullen sigil]

& this nuget

[little raptor]

yeah mine crashed too

might be related to callback

[sullen sigil]

callback is required for what I'm doing but I'll try w/o callback

[little raptor]

no still crashes 🥲

[sullen sigil]

ffs, tried googling the error but couldn't find anything useful

[little raptor]

the error means nothing

[sullen sigil]

thats the gist i got

and just to confirm i crash without callback too

[little raptor]

meh just try building multiple assemblies targeting different .NET versions then

use 4.7 as starting point for Arma

6 for your stuff

[sullen sigil]

I'd assume that's just calling the 6.0 dll from a 4.7 dll in arma?

[little raptor]

can't you have both in one dll?

if not just build separate one

[sullen sigil]

uh
if you can its beyond my knowledge

[little raptor]

you just reference an assembly that targets a different .NET version I guess

[sullen sigil]

oh, you mean separate thingies in the same solution?

idk what they're called

[little raptor]

yeah separate projects

[sullen sigil]

yeah those

I can try that I suppose 😅

but I need callback here which could probably cause issues, no?

[little raptor]

no

[sullen sigil]

i presume its as simple as something.soomething.callback and im just oblivious to it

[little raptor]

wut?

callback is just in the 4.7 assembly

same as before

[sullen sigil]

yeah but how would i use that callback from the 6.0 assembly lol

[little raptor]

you just reference the assembly

[sullen sigil]

i think im overcomplicating this then 😅

[little raptor]

just make a normal C# function in your 4.7 assembly which calls the callback. use this function in the v6 assembly and call it

[sullen sigil]

Then I can do that vice versa -- call in 4.7 to 6.0 assembly?

[little raptor]

the callback is defined in the 4.7 one.

[sullen sigil]

oh ive misread what you said yeah

[little raptor]

tho not sure if this creates a circular reference and if so can .NET support it?
because the 4.7 one refs the 6 and 6 refs the 4.7

[sullen sigil]

6.0 function called in 4.7, 6.0 function does callback

🤷 will find out

Mind sending your csproj for 4.7? Can't figure it out

This bit always confuses me

[sullen marsh]

Extensions m8

[little raptor]

which bit?

[sullen sigil]

the TargetFramework part -- was using net48 before but that was throwing up errors

[little raptor]

use this

when it shows that window, check Enable or whatever it was called

then apply

[sullen sigil]

unmanagedexports still works with net 4.8, couldn't figure out how to use dllexport

[sullen sigil]

this means nothing to me 😅

[little raptor]

yeah that one is trash just use what I said

[little raptor]

just check Installed

then Apply

[sullen sigil]

Then it's just build tab and regular steps?

[little raptor]

yeah

also don't forget to define WIN64

once you're done it defines the DllExportAttribute in your namespace

[sullen sigil]

yeah have been doing that -- trying to figure out how on earth you use this gui atm as had renamed the projects

[little raptor]

if you have renamed the namespace you can just use notepad++ and batch rename all old namespace names

I actually had to do this with the .NET 6 one

I just lazily copied the same stuff from 4.7 and was getting errors with names 😅

[sullen sigil]

It complains of not being able to load the csproj file and the browse just opens file explorer 😂

[little raptor]

just remake stuff then
sometimes it's easier

[sullen sigil]

the 6.0 one I can access fine but that's not the one I need to access

DllExport command still throws error after hitting installed and apply

I'll just remake this solution from scratch, probably easier

[quiet gazelle]

is there a shorter way of checking if two numbers are more or less the same than this:

(_a + 0.001 > _b && _a - 0.001 < _b)```

[sullen sigil]

(_a - _b) > yournumber?

[quiet gazelle]

needs an abs

like this(abs (_a - _b)) < 0.001

[sullen sigil]

same difference

[quiet gazelle]

works for me in being nicer to type

thanks

[little raptor]

no

[little raptor]

this

[sullen sigil]

yes

am i supposed to ignore the dllexport errors leopard

[little raptor]

let's say _a < _b, then what?

it becomes negative

[sullen sigil]

i meant yes in agreement to this

[little raptor]

so always true

[little raptor]

no. what errors?

[sullen sigil]

checked installed then pressed apply from here 🤷

[little raptor]

those errors prevent you from building

[little raptor]

are you using DllExport in your namespace?

[sullen sigil]

uh
how am i supposed to?

[little raptor]

the Gisecke thing doesn't work anymore

[little raptor]

either namespace myNamespace or using myNamespace; at the top

[sullen sigil]

not entirely sure what you mean as the gui just means 0 to me

[little raptor]

open the GUI and show it to me again

it creates a bat file in your solution folder

just click it

DllExport.bat

[sullen sigil]

DllTesting is the bit that will be in 4.8

[little raptor]

this should be correct then

are the errors still there?

[sullen sigil]

I've restarted VS already with the errors remaining

[little raptor]

well try with using DllTesting; at top

[sullen sigil]

Yeah, that's how it always was

errors persist and is unused

[little raptor]

I said using not namespace

[little raptor]

did you select the DllTesting.csproj here?

[sullen sigil]

yes

in the bit beneath the filter by project path right?

[little raptor]

yeah

[sullen sigil]

yep

[little raptor]

this one says you don't even have your own namespace tho?

[sullen sigil]

que

not sure what that means

[little raptor]

me either. run the DllExport bat again

[sullen sigil]

with it formatted like that?

[little raptor]

yes

[sullen sigil]

pressed apply again for good measure, no difference

[little raptor]

wait why have you put the solution and project in the same dir?

[sullen sigil]

i havent

oh it was looking at an old one -- whoops, will apply again

[little raptor]

maybe try with 1 project at a time first

[sullen sigil]

i had the same issue before when doing this

aha, restarting has worked

cool beans, shouldn't need dllexport for the .NET 6.0 version right?

[little raptor]

no

[sullen sigil]

perfect, sorted then. now it's just a matter of figuring out wtf to do which shouldnt be too hard

famous last words

[little raptor]

for now just try your extension without the worker stuff

[sullen sigil]

that is probably a good idea

[little raptor]

make sure the callback and everything works

then add stuff

[sullen sigil]

Still getting the invalid nullable value

[little raptor]

wat?

[sullen sigil]

caused by not overriding language version but then get issue with globalusings too, ffs

[little raptor]

wat?

[little raptor]

that's just from global usings

[sullen sigil]

That's with langVersion 10.0 in the .csproj, without that it gives me this:

[sullen sigil]

Yeah except I don't touch http or anything

[little raptor]

yeah those are in .NET core I think

well anyway...
so you get that error from referencing the Worker assembly?

[sullen sigil]

Nope, literally just building it

[little raptor]

building what?

[sullen sigil]

either the solution of dlltesting assembly

[little raptor]

just start with a fresh project

like I said first

start with wiki sample

[sullen sigil]

i did

i'll start again again

[little raptor]

then what's that worker in there?

[sullen sigil]

literally just this

[little raptor]

also why are you even getting that error?

are you copying your csproj?

[sullen sigil]

i haven't a clue, trying to target .net 4.8 without specifying language version so automatically goes to older one

[little raptor]

4.8 doesn't even support C#10

[sullen sigil]

that would probably be why its throwing the other error but i get later errors after build attempt saying it needs 10

[little raptor]

well don't use global usings

[sullen sigil]

it's auto generated

[little raptor]

that one needs C# 10

just start with a .net framework project first

nothing else

not even another empty project

build that

test it

if it works then do other stuff

[sullen sigil]

so wpf app?

im so confused

[little raptor]

console

[sullen sigil]

do dlls not need to be made as a class library

i have the stuff working in a console app already

im just in the "process" of putting it to dll

[little raptor]

change it yourself

[sullen sigil]

Oh right its to target 4.7.2 gotchu

[sullen sigil]

yeah got that

copy pasted the wiki example back in there w/ namespace now and will do dllexport then build

ffs dllexport wont work now i hate this

[little raptor]

wdym?

what doesn't work?

[sullen sigil]

doing the exact same thing as before, it's just closing without loading the relevant bits and still getting dllexport not found errors

have manually reselected the sln file like 3 times too

[quiet gazelle]

is sqf _array = keys (_array createHashMapFromArray []); better or worse than ```sqf
_array2 = [];
{_array2 pushBackUnique _x;} foreach _array;
_array = _array2;

[little raptor]

close VS first

then run the bat

[little raptor]

how big is _array?

well the second is worse that's for sure

but you can also try arrayIntersect

[sullen sigil]

you are a wizard

[quiet gazelle]

roughly 10 to 100 elements i guess

[sullen sigil]

never mind

[quiet gazelle]

yep thats the solution i actually want

thanks

[little raptor]

check which namespace you saved it to

[sullen sigil]

ah, the wrong one is appearing

full gui

[little raptor]

your namespace is incorrect

don't you even see?

[sullen sigil]

i see its incorrect on the gui but theres no drop down option for DllTesting

[sullen sigil]

omfg you can type into it

[little raptor]

Just type it yourself. or just use whatever it gave you

[sullen sigil]

fucking hell

who'd have thought you could type into a drop down box

thats worked fine now

now the only problem is visual studio is skipping building the project

ffs

this is like wack-a-mole with issues

[little raptor]

wut?

just rebuild

[sullen sigil]

it skips it regardless of which i click

[little raptor]

does it have a target file?

[sullen sigil]

should do but just to make sure how do i check in this version

well i flicked some option unrelated and its built now 🤷

finally

only took an entire day

[little raptor]

now try adding the rest

[sullen sigil]

Its half past midnight here and have got in-laws coming tomorrow so will probably call it quits here tonight while I'm ahead

should just be a matter of adapting my previous code to get called from here anyways -- which it already was, just in the same project

just a matter of making it work across project

thanks for all the help leopard, been super useful 🙂

[cyan kayak]

believe so yes

if you give it a unit (or list of untis) as a target, it will run on the machine on which that unit(s) is local

[burnt nymph]

does arma 3 framework provide a way to monitor which players have connected to my arma 3 server and how long they have been connected / active. I want to integrate this into a webApp for my server.does arma 3 provide Api for that?

[sullen sigil]

get players local time and send to webapp from your server

[quiet geyser]

Is there any kind of simple-ish way to increase the fuel consumption rate for a vehicle as a multiplier/percentage?

Alternatively, a way to reduce the maximum fuel capacity

[meager granite]

    myfuelusagemultiplier = 10;
    myfueleh = addMissionEventHandler ["EachFrame", {
        private _vehicle = vehicle player;
        if(local _vehicle) then {
            private _old_fuel = _vehicle getVariable "old_fuel";
            if(!isNil"_old_fuel") then {
                private _fuel_delta = _old_fuel - fuel _vehicle;
                if(_fuel_delta > 0) then {
                    private _new_fuel = _old_fuel - _fuel_delta * myfuelusagemultiplier;
                    _vehicle setFuel _new_fuel;
                };
            };
        };
        _vehicle setVariable ["old_fuel", fuel _vehicle];
    }]

Will only work on current player's vehicle

Otherwise have some array with vehicles and forEach through it instead of vehicle player

you can also get multiplier off the vehicle _vehicle getVariable ["fuel_multiplier", 1]

so you can have different ones per vehicle

[drifting sky]

Can anybody tell me how to write a script that correctly gets the parent class of a weapon's fire mode? I'm trying to modify CUP weapons to adjust the way AI use them, but I keep running into issues where modes I try to modify appear to be inherited incorrectly. So I presume the script I wrote to find their parents must not be correct.

[tough abyss]

hmm okay, i was thinking making a system even more modular but i doubt arma would allow that

[meager granite]

post your script here

[sleek galleon]

Hi, Maybe some people around here could help us elucidate a bug we've got recently on our zeus private server.

This script, for some reason i'm not nearly qualified enough to apprehend, F's up the respawn system :

while {true} do {
this say3D ["musicname",30];
0 spawn {
sleep 1450;
};
};

We started placing one on a civilian weeping on a tomb to add a sound effect, and then decided to create a working radio with it in our base for the players to enjoy between missions (Also, some voice acted easter eggs and references to the players actions, because why not)

The first thing we noticed is that it makes a very noticeable FPS drop when you actually manage to go near the 3D sound.

The second is that the respawn functionality is F'd up, half the people just spawn on the "dev platform" (A platform outside of the map with the playable units and a couple of things) instead of being given the usual spawn point selection.
As the zeus, i've been a victim of that and when i'm there, I cannot enter the Zeus interface nor the ACE menu, and I'm unable to respawn thru the escape menu. Also, weirdly enough, the "save" button above "respawn" is overlapped with a "skip" button that doesn't do anything when clicked.

I've tracked down the issue to the latest mission file of our campaign, wich is precisely the one where we started using this script. Needless to say, if I remove the script from the unit/item's init, the game runs perfectly fine.

Any ideas anyone ? I'm starting to grow bald with all the hair pulling this error triggers in me 🤣

Our description.ext (nothing fancy)

[granite sky]

I don't really understand. The script is obviously going to jam both the game and the scheduler?

[sleek galleon]

Sorry for my lack of knowledge, what's a scheduler, and what do you mean by jam ?

[granite sky]

There's no limit on how often that loop is running.

So it's just spamming say3d and spawning the tiny sleep as fast as it can.

[sleek galleon]

Yeah, the idea was to have it play all the songs & voice files, then go back to the start and so on

[sleek galleon]

What would be a better approach for this script ?

[granite sky]

Maybe:

this spawn {
  while {true} do {
    _this say3D ["musicname",30]; 
    sleep 1450;
  }; 
};

[shut reef]

removeWeaponTurret seems to be executed in the editor if you put it in an init field.
I've never heard about that functionality. Is there documentation for that?
The command also has no notes on the wiki page

[sleek galleon]

I'll give it a try

[sleek galleon]

I don't understand the difference, but it do be workin' !

[molten tree]

Is there a way to hide the helicopter blades on a helicopter in multiplayer? I found some instructions using hideSelection, but it's not working. I'm using the correct part name that I retrieved using selectionNames.

[warm hedge]

For what purpose?

[molten tree]

In aircraft carriers (and in some destroyers) rotor blades are meant to be retractable to save space. I want to simulate that by hiding the rotors, until a player uses an Action added to it that 'reattaches' them.

[warm hedge]

Well, hideSelection, as BIKI told you, is only for Simple Objects

[molten tree]

Damn. 😕 So there's no other trick to do it? Other than ramming it into something and causing the blades to shear.

[granite sky]

well, you could just set the damage on the blades...

but that may not look how you want it to :P

Maybe if you attached a folded-blade object in the right place it'd look passable.

[molten tree]

Hmm...

[pulsar bluff]

@warm hedge is there any logic to applying "Destruct" materials to a vehicle?

i can read thru the >> 'mat' array but its not as simple as just doing { _v setobjectmaterialglobal [_foreachindex,_x] } foreach _mat

[warm hedge]

Nnnnnope, unfortunately

[opal zephyr]

Does anyone know how vanilla arma handles an explosive defuse? Like what takes place on the backend to inform the game that its defused. For context im trying to make my ied mod compatible with ALIVE's point system for ied defusal

[grand stratus]

Do bullets inherit the vehicles velocity it was shot out of?

[meager granite]

What are trying to do?

That "Damage" class defines which textures and materials change into which on 0.5 and iirc 1 damage

Or 0.9

[opal zephyr]

On this note, what does "ADDON" mean in sqf and is there a wiki page talking about it?

[pulsar bluff]

apply the “destruct” materials to a non-destroyed vehicle

i guess i could build a conversion table in editor by destroying the asset and checking object materials

[meager granite]

Ah, you mean knowing which selection should materials be applied to

I guess there is no way to know what material is original one 🤔

GIB

ENTITY selectionMaterials STRING
ENTITY selectionTextures STRING

[meager granite]

Wanted to suggest this for a long time:
https://feedback.bistudio.com/T171318

[little raptor]

Wdym by "inherit"?

If you mean whether it "affects" the velocity, yes

[little raptor]

There's no addon in SQF

[little raptor]

Afaik it converts them to an object

You can check what happens to it using nearestObjects [player, [], 10] before and after you defuse an explosive

As for making it compatible with ALIVE, you probably want to check your configs. Probably your inheritance is incorrect

[pulsar bluff]

what about getObjectMaterials <classname>

[meager granite]

Should be possible with command in Additional Information

Let us get any textures and materials by LOD selections

[pulsar bluff]

yea

[meager granite]

Now we need to nag KK or Dedmen until they implement it

Personally I have a need for a command to return default model textures and materials of hidden selections, right now I'm having to find them and define by hand for each class in my config, because there is no way to do it otherwise

[pulsar bluff]

yea i aint doing that lol

sandbox + dlc/mod support = helllll no

[meager granite]

Yep, not a reason solution for the issue

Just let us use whatever is in the engine already

[pulsar bluff]

its fine for tight outcome with pre defined list of assets

i will write a procedure to check at the start of mission whether current list of scope=2 assets are in the stored hashmap... if not, i will blow stuff up at [0,0,0] and read the change in object materials

so, first run with a new mod/dlc activated == will be a bit messy at [0,0,0] for a few minutes :d

[meager granite]

How can you read changed materials though?

[pulsar bluff]

i wonder if worth doing the same thing for texture selections

i dont know still just thinking about it

[meager granite]

lineIntersectsSurfaces?

[pulsar bluff]

havent done editor tests yet

[hearty fox]

Good morning,
I can't automate the opening of a portal despite the usual lines of code. an idea ?

the portal is:
Sniper entrée regiment

[warm hedge]

Uhh what?

You sure you're in the right place?

[hearty fox]

I think, yes

[warm hedge]

Then explain what it is?

[hearty fox]

the line of code does not open it

[warm hedge]

What line of code? What it supposed to do?

...Just in case, you're talking about Arma 3 right?

[hearty fox]

Yes Arma 3

[warm hedge]

Not Reforger? I've looked your log and you posted only in Reforger/Enfusion topics

[hearty fox]

nom animate ["Door_1_move",1]

[warm hedge]

Ah finally it starts to make sense

[hearty fox]

I put the trigger

But nothing

But with an other, it's ok

[warm hedge]

Are you sure:
You named whatever nom properly?
animate is the correct command to do?
Door_1_move is the animation for it?

[hearty fox]

sliding gates uses this line of code. but this one, impossible

[warm hedge]

I completely have no idea which object it is but try to use animationNames nom to fetch available animations

[warm hedge]

Won't help anyhow

[hearty fox]

Wait, i put it in screen

[warm hedge]

You put what in what?

[hearty fox]

Wait, I put a picture of the portal

[winter rose]

• use animationNames to get that object's animations list
• use one of these names to open it

that's a mod, so nothing is guaranteed.

@meager granite this is sorta working for my uses ... not sure if it will work for mods tho (naming conventions etc)

0 spawn {
    QS_array = [];
    private _cfgArray = "(
        (getNumber (_x >> 'scope') >= 2) &&
        (
            ((configName _x) isKindOf 'LandVehicle') ||
            ((configName _x) isKindOf 'Air') ||
            ((configName _x) isKindOf 'Ship') ||
            ((configName _x) isKindOf 'Reammobox_F')
        )
    )" configClasses (configFile >> "CfgVehicles");
    _cfgArray = _cfgArray apply {configName _x};
    private _mats = [];
    {
        _mats = getArray (configFile >> 'CfgVehicles' >> _x >> 'Damage' >> 'mat');
        _mats = _mats select {
            (['destruct',_x] call BIS_fnc_inString)
        };
        if (_mats isEqualTo []) then {
            _mats = getArray (configFile >> 'CfgVehicles' >> _x >> 'Damage' >> 'mat');
            _mats = _mats select {
                (['damage',_x] call BIS_fnc_inString)
            };        
        };
        QS_array pushBack [
            _x,
            _mats
        ];
        systemchat str _forEachIndex;
    } forEach _cfgArray;
    copyToClipboard str QS_array;
};```

[meager granite]

What's the use for these textures?

[pulsar bluff]

QS_array_hashmap = createHashmapFromArray QS_array;

_value = QS_array_hashmap get (typeOf cursorObject); 
systemchat str _value;
{ 
    cursorObject setObjectMaterialGlobal [_forEachIndex,_x]; 
} forEach _value;```

[meager granite]

I don't think order of materials in "Damage" >> "mat" matters

It can be in any order

not the same order as hidden selections

Plus that array includes non-hidden-selections materials too

[pulsar bluff]

is for vehicle wrecks ... preventing vehicle total destruction (clamping at 0.89 dmg) and instead forcing players to recover the asset

i mean the order does appear to matter

mat[] = {
    "A3\soft_f\MRAP_01\Data\MRAP_01_adds.rvmat",
    "A3\soft_f\MRAP_01\Data\MRAP_01_adds_damage.rvmat",
    "A3\soft_f\MRAP_01\Data\MRAP_01_adds_destruct.rvmat",
    "A3\soft_f\MRAP_01\Data\MRAP_01_base.rvmat",
    "A3\soft_f\MRAP_01\Data\MRAP_01_base_damage.rvmat",
    "A3\soft_f\MRAP_01\Data\MRAP_01_base_destruct.rvmat",
    "A3\soft_f\MRAP_01\Data\MRAP_01_int.rvmat",
    "A3\soft_f\MRAP_01\Data\MRAP_01_int_damage.rvmat",
    "A3\soft_f\MRAP_01\Data\MRAP_01_int_destruct.rvmat",
    "A3\Data_F\Glass_veh.rvmat",
    "A3\Data_F\Glass_veh_armored_damage.rvmat",
    "A3\Data_F\Glass_veh_armored_damage.rvmat",
    "A3\Data_F\Glass_veh_int.rvmat",
    "A3\Data_F\Glass_veh_armored_damage.rvmat",
    "A3\Data_F\Glass_veh_armored_damage.rvmat"
};```

base, + 1 = dmg, +2 = destruct

[meager granite]

No I mean the order in relation to setObjectMaterial indexes

[pulsar bluff]

no idea i am just tinkering

[meager granite]

If there was a way to get original object material for each selection, then you could've just searched through that array and index+2 would've been your destruction material for example

[pulsar bluff]

ideally yea

[meager granite]

Back in the day I always asked to vote for my tickets, now there is no voting anymore so sub to my tickets to show that they matter for you too: https://feedback.bistudio.com/T171318

[pulsar bluff]

already done

[hearty fox]

thank you guys, i find it

[hearty fox]

[drowsy geyser]

im trying to disable the inventory of corpses and it works, but is there also a way to hide the gear icon of the corpse?

[little raptor]

gear icon?

[drowsy geyser]

the icon which pops up when you look at the corpse

[warm hedge]

Doesn't lockInventory do?

[pulsar bluff]

he means the "Rearm" icon

and no there isnt

I think lockInventory was supposed to do it, but it doesnt block the rearm

[meager granite]

Arma moment

[little raptor]

it should be reported then

[winter rose]

and we will purgeban it

[warm hedge]

burgepan lockInventory 0 not being useful

[little raptor]

made a ticket

[pulsar bluff]

do we know if "allowFunctionsRecompile" works at all?

I tried years ago and didnt work ... would be handy for me at the moment

[meager granite]

I think it stops CfgFunctions initialization from doing compileFinal?

Not sure about other compileFinals

[golden fable]

Anyone know how to work Simplex Support Services mod? The scripting/coding on which player gets what assigned support is doing my head in...

I thought simply syncing each support module to certain players would work but my squad level RTO has access to all supports, including artillery meant for commanding officers.

I know there are instructions by the mod dev, but my dumb brain can't make heads or tails of it.

[little raptor]

yes

[sullen sigil]

third project that gets referenced by the main dll part and just puts it into the Worker project?

make it a triangular dependency instead 😄

ffs

[winter rose]

#arma3_tools please… I really can't see all this C#/C++ here

[sullen sigil]

its arma scripting i promise ok

[proven charm]

I wonder why this is sqf count (units civilian) != count (allunits select { side _x == civilian })

the left side count in my tests is 16 when the right side is 1
