not really

#

i remember trying it like 17 years ago

#

now that was alpha

tough abyss Sep 18, 2016, 8:36 PM

#

ok, let me rephrase

#

VR is in its alpha shoes right now, compared to the matrix 😛

blissful wind Sep 18, 2016, 8:36 PM

tough abyss Sep 18, 2016, 8:36 PM

#

the biggest problem with motion(keyboard/mouse/joy) is that the inner ear does not compute when you in the physical word is stationary but your eyes are telling you otherwise

#

my bad, sorry

#

i just get excited about the future 😃

blissful wind Sep 18, 2016, 8:42 PM

#

yea man same here, im testing this mission so gaps in my replies FYI

tough abyss Sep 18, 2016, 8:43 PM

#

well... ill end the discussion... as adenteh said, this is the scripting channel 😃

blissful wind Sep 18, 2016, 8:44 PM

blissful wind Sep 18, 2016, 8:58 PM

#

ok now its not working again scratches head so is anyone familiar with Vehicle Respawn module expression to set new vehicle name. Any idears?

blissful wind Sep 18, 2016, 9:19 PM

#

why arent editor placed vehicle names persistent.. idk

shut prairie Sep 18, 2016, 9:25 PM

#

@blissful wind It's bohemia your talking about...

blissful wind Sep 18, 2016, 9:37 PM

#

@shut prairie whats wrong with BI?

blissful wind Sep 18, 2016, 9:54 PM

#

anyways...i could swear this expression was working not long ago

halcyon crypt Sep 18, 2016, 9:55 PM

#

what are you trying to do exactly?

#

according to https://www.reddit.com/r/armadev/comments/2t9im5/multiplayer_vehicle_respawn_module_expression/ the expression only runs server side

blissful wind Sep 18, 2016, 9:59 PM

#

like i said, the new vehicle that spawns then do so with the name i chose or with the old vehicle name

#

_this select 0 setVehicleVarName "" - not working

#

and

#

_this select 0 setVehicleVar.... (vehicleVarName (_this select 1))

#

not working

halcyon crypt Sep 18, 2016, 10:01 PM

#

setVehicleVarName only has local effects, you'll need to run it on all clients

#

and since (apparently) the expression only runs server side you'll have to use remoteExec or something similar

blissful wind Sep 18, 2016, 10:03 PM

#

hm... seems more complicated than needs to be, thanks for the lights i ll try it again

halcyon crypt Sep 18, 2016, 10:03 PM

#

are you testing in the editor or on a server?

blissful wind Sep 18, 2016, 10:03 PM

#

LAN

halcyon crypt Sep 18, 2016, 10:04 PM

#

sooo you started arma3server.exe?

blissful wind Sep 18, 2016, 10:04 PM

#

its just me

halcyon crypt Sep 18, 2016, 10:04 PM

#

did you start a server with arma3server.exe or TADST or whatever or did you start it from the editor?

blissful wind Sep 18, 2016, 10:05 PM

#

created a LAn , lauched my mission

#

but yea the module i have to edit in the edtor

halcyon crypt Sep 18, 2016, 10:07 PM

#

I guess you're hosting with A3 > MP > host lan then

blissful wind Sep 18, 2016, 10:07 PM

#

thats what i said yes

halcyon crypt Sep 18, 2016, 10:07 PM

#

in that case the host is the server AND client

blissful wind Sep 18, 2016, 10:08 PM

#

yup

halcyon crypt Sep 18, 2016, 10:08 PM

#

that's weird, it should work in that case

#

until someone else joins the server

blissful wind Sep 18, 2016, 10:08 PM

#

it worked somehow

#

then stopped working

#

and now hasnt been working at all

#

"my code doesn´t work i dunno why, my code works i dunno why"

#

old joke

halcyon crypt Sep 18, 2016, 10:10 PM

#

you start with vehicle1, it dies and it spawns vehicle2 and then you want to reset it to vehicle1. Correct?

blissful wind Sep 18, 2016, 10:12 PM

#

vehicle1 name is mynameis1, so when vehicle1 dies and vehicle2 respawns, grab and/or change vehicle1 name and set it has vehicle2 name

#

so that assigned evenhadlers to vehicle1 work ok with vehicle2

halcyon crypt Sep 18, 2016, 10:14 PM

#

yeah I don't think that's going to work, it's probably better to reasign the EHs

blissful wind Sep 18, 2016, 10:14 PM

#

i swear i did this already a lot of times and sometimes it works and sometimes doesnt and i cant really remember exactly how to hack it all the time

halcyon crypt Sep 18, 2016, 10:14 PM

#

it's a bad idea

blissful wind Sep 18, 2016, 10:14 PM

#

it did work

#

lol

#

why

#

its the simplest

#

by far

#

or it should be

halcyon crypt Sep 18, 2016, 10:15 PM

#

because vehicle1 is already taken by the engine when you want to reasign vehicle2 to vehicle1

blissful wind Sep 18, 2016, 10:16 PM

#

huh?

#

execept vechile1 doesnt exist anymore

halcyon crypt Sep 18, 2016, 10:17 PM

#

yeah nvm.. misunderstood the vehicleVarName thing.. it's not an actual variable.. 😄

blissful wind Sep 18, 2016, 10:17 PM

#

yea its a grab

halcyon crypt Sep 18, 2016, 10:18 PM

#

well, no clue then. 👍

#

thanks for your input anyways

if I am making a dialog and I want it to show a players profile face is there a way to do that?

dusk sage Sep 18, 2016, 10:44 PM

#

I can't see a way without using a camera on the player

#

Or a camera on an AI with the same face

#

Unless there is some pictures somewhere in the files..

limber wing Sep 18, 2016, 10:56 PM

#

if i use a camera on the player would I be able to make it like a transparent backround and just purely show the unit?

native hemlock Sep 18, 2016, 11:00 PM

#

There is probably a way since you are shown a preview of what the character looks like when you are editing your profile.

limber wing Sep 18, 2016, 11:06 PM

#

that is exactly what I want lol

blissful wind Sep 18, 2016, 11:10 PM

#

@halcyon crypt and now its working and i didnt even change anything, just went through it again

vapid frigate Sep 19, 2016, 2:45 AM

#

I don't think you could use a camera with a transparent background, but you could make a flat background

#

hm, could it be, that drawIcon3D has a prob with Images inside the mission?

native hemlock Sep 19, 2016, 2:58 PM

#

It definitely is possible, perhaps try one of the methods mentioned here http://killzonekid.com/arma-scripting-tutorials-mission-root/

jade abyss Sep 19, 2016, 3:01 PM

#

drawIcon3D ["\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\RscIngameUI\RscUnitInfo\SI_candeploy_stand_ca.paa", [0.1,0.8,0.1,_Transp], (_Unit modelToWorld [0, 0, 2.25]), 1, 1, 0, _Name, 2, _FontSize, "RobotoCondensed", "center", false];

works.

Copying the same file to: MissionFile\imgs

drawIcon3D ["imgs\SI_candeploy_stand_ca.paa", [0.1,0.8,0.1,_Transp], (_Unit modelToWorld [0, 0, 2.25]), 1, 1, 0, _Name, 2, _FontSize, "RobotoCondensed", "center", false];

Does not work.

#

BUT the file is beeing loaded by Interfaces/Displays

#

Just read what you wrote Penny... -.-

hasty pond Sep 19, 2016, 3:09 PM

#

Object attached to players are still causing me a head ache because they are colliding with other players in MP and killing them. Tried to disable simulation of those objects, but attachTo forces simulation. Any new ideas?

dusk sage Sep 19, 2016, 3:10 PM

#

setmass

#

Either that or disableCollisionWith, which is a pain in the ass

#

Just use setMass with an incredibly low mass, and the killing should stop

hasty pond Sep 19, 2016, 3:13 PM

#

I'll try setting the mass to something as small as possible and see if this still happens. Thanks!

#

Works like a charm in SP, have to check in MP to make sure

I just tried those MISSION_ROOT tricks from KK mentioned by Pw above, works, very cool

little eagle Sep 19, 2016, 8:09 PM

oh wow. People found a use case for parsingNamespace after all. I guess I lost my bet

meager granite Sep 19, 2016, 8:28 PM

#

What is it?

little eagle Sep 19, 2016, 8:42 PM

#

EDIT6: So far, this is my favourite. MISSION_ROOT can be defined in description.ext. missionConfigFile just doesn’t work this early, but __FILE__ does!

//description.ext
__EXEC (MISSION_ROOT = __FILE__ select [0, count __FILE__ - 15])

//from any script
_root = parsingNamespace getVariable "MISSION_ROOT";

I've been looking around but not finding anything but is there a code to make AI wonder around.

vapid frigate Sep 20, 2016, 2:42 AM

#

you can setup waypoints with SQF or use commands like moveTo/doMove

tough abyss Sep 20, 2016, 2:58 AM

#

Alright thanks

vale hull Sep 20, 2016, 5:07 AM

#

if you pass in a radius to the create waypoint command it will generate a random waypoint with in that radius

#

_group addWaypoint [position _unit,_radius];

#

call that however many times for the amount of waypoints you want in that radius

#

for [{_i=0},{(_i < _wpcount)},{_i = _i + 1}] do {
_group addWaypoint [position _unit,_radius];
};

#

if you make the last waypoint a CYCLE they will continue around for ever

#

@tough abyss

tough abyss Sep 20, 2016, 5:22 AM

#

Position being the X & Y axis?

#

How would the code look like for a single AI http://i.imgur.com/LyfW4kl.jpg @vale hull

vapid frigate Sep 20, 2016, 5:38 AM

#

for [{_i=0},{(_i < 10)},{_i = _i + 1}] do {
(group this) addWaypoint [position this,500];
};

#

position _unit < gets the position of a unit

tough abyss Sep 20, 2016, 5:41 AM

#

Ok so my test AI runs instead of walks. Any code to slow them down?

vapid frigate Sep 20, 2016, 5:41 AM

#

you know you can place these waypoints with the editor?

#

and things like speed

#

but to do it with script you can use these inside that for loop

#

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Category:Command_Group:_Waypoints

#

setwaypointcombatmode and setwaypointspeed in particular

tough abyss Sep 20, 2016, 5:43 AM

#

I've done set waypoints but I am aiming for random to throw off my group running different operations.

vapid frigate Sep 20, 2016, 5:44 AM

#

you'll probably want to add a 'cycle' waypoint at the end too

vale hull Sep 20, 2016, 5:44 AM

#

wp1 setWaypointBehaviour "SAFE";  
wp1 setWaypointSpeed "LIMITED";
for [{_i=0},{(_i < 10)},{_i = _i + 1}] do { 
     (group this) addWaypoint [position this,50]; 
};
wp2 = (group this) addWaypoint [waypointposition wp1,0];
wp2 setWaypointType "CYCLE";```

And judging by my spelling I should go to bed lol

vale hull Sep 20, 2016, 5:46 AM

Vehicles - due to technical limitations, the unconscious state in vehicles is not supported. Players die immediately

just for Arma ? lol

#

whast the problem with z ? the multiply ?

or grab the result of the z multiplication and then subtract it

Is player modelToWorld [0,10,0] not enough?

Wouldn't it be better to use lineIntersectSurface? if smth < 5m -> DoYouStuff

#

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

lineIntersectsSurfaces

#

Or lemme ask this: What are you trying to achieve?

blissful wind Sep 20, 2016, 2:26 PM

#

wouldnt that only work if the player is looking straight ahead?

#

i mean if you dont use the z value

#

bah, not looking, i mean the barrel, you know

jade abyss Sep 20, 2016, 2:33 PM

little eagle Sep 20, 2016, 3:02 PM

#

in VR or is that related to a slope again?

#

_p0 = AGLToASL (player modelToWorldVisual (player selectionPosition 'righthand'));

#

and then convert back via ASLToAGL before using drawIcon3D

#

weaponDirection is ASL (or rather, not modified by terrain)

#

And if you scale that with vectorMultiply

#

you obviously don't account for the bend reference system that is AGL

#

When in doubt, convert everything to ASL..

#

CBA_fnc_kill = {
    params ["_unit", "_killer"];

    private _projectile = "B_556x45_Ball" createVehicleLocal [0,0,0];

    _projectile setShotParents [_killer, _killer];

speed: Boolean or Number - When true animation is instant. Since Arma 3 v1.65.138459 Number > 0 is treated as config speed value multiplier

#

" Since Arma 3 v1.65.138459 Number"

blazing zodiac Sep 21, 2016, 9:34 AM

#

I knew you weren't able to alter speeds before, but instant was always possible

#

well not always

#

but you know what I mean

little eagle Sep 21, 2016, 9:34 AM

#

how?

blazing zodiac Sep 21, 2016, 9:34 AM

#

by setting it to true, the code shown in that video has been functional for at least 6 months

little eagle Sep 21, 2016, 9:35 AM

#

the third parameter is not in 1.62

blazing zodiac Sep 21, 2016, 9:35 AM

#

_target animate[_anim, 1, true];

#

yes it is

#

try it now if you don't believe me

#

that's the code I used for it at least 6 months ago

little eagle Sep 21, 2016, 9:35 AM

#

I'm on dev atm

blazing zodiac Sep 21, 2016, 9:35 AM

#

ah gotcha

#

it is functional though and has been for quite a while

little eagle Sep 21, 2016, 9:36 AM

#

Never heard of the thrid parameter prior to 1.64 : /
did they lie to me?

blazing zodiac Sep 21, 2016, 9:36 AM

#

dunno, it was a neccessity for the breaching system though as you could imagine.

#

Having the door slowly open just defeated the purpose entirely

little eagle Sep 21, 2016, 9:36 AM

#

instant: Bool - true: animated instantly and without sound, false: normal animation (since Arma 3 v1.47)

#

ohh

#

1.46. I must've missed it back then

#

wiki history ftw

blazing zodiac Sep 21, 2016, 9:37 AM

#

Probably why when I tried to find a decent breaching system none existing a while back

#

around 1.50

little eagle Sep 21, 2016, 9:37 AM

#

yeah

blazing zodiac Sep 21, 2016, 9:38 AM

#

That's why I wrote that one

#

It's not perfect but it's pretty solid for my uses

#

I reallllly wish we could remove/blow hte doors off though

#

That would be incredible

#

Or better yet get a destroyed door model

little eagle Sep 21, 2016, 9:39 AM

#

they'd have to redo all the house models. not gonna happen

blazing zodiac Sep 21, 2016, 9:39 AM

#

Yea I know, unfortunately.

#

I know in DayZ they changed how the doors themselves worked entirely so hopefully something will be doable there.

#

But who the fuck knows how enScript is gonna turn out

little eagle Sep 21, 2016, 9:41 AM

#

I don't think another script language helps when the engine and the models don't support it

blazing zodiac Sep 21, 2016, 9:42 AM

#

If I understood them correctly they redid them in the engine a while back

#

Around a year ago

#

To allow for locking and them being their own objects and not just part of the buildings

#

In DayZ that is of course

little eagle Sep 21, 2016, 9:43 AM

#

locking is cute when you can vault right through the doors

blazing zodiac Sep 21, 2016, 9:43 AM

#

Lol right, I haven't actually tried it in DayZ but I'm sure the same issues apply there.

little eagle Sep 21, 2016, 9:44 AM

#

idk dayz. too few ifv and tanks there

blazing zodiac Sep 21, 2016, 9:45 AM

#

Yea, I enjoy playing it every now and then but it's definitely limited without all the extras from ArmA even once the mod tools are available. I've mainly been watching progress on the engine itself since they've claimed they'll be using it for ArmA 4, but even with that who knows if that'll play out.

#

I will say I am enjoying the renderer though, getting 150fps on full servers in cities with maxed settings(minus AA) is certainly a nice change of pace.

#

But only time will tell how the engine pans out and if we get it for ArmA 4 and I can't even imagine how far out ArmA 4 would be either way.

little eagle Sep 21, 2016, 9:53 AM

#

Is onRespawnMenu being executed in uiNamespace a bug or intended?

tough abyss Sep 21, 2016, 11:21 AM

#

Would there be a way to script some kind of answering machine? For example a player types !rules, and a script will answer using any chat channel or even a hint to display text?

blissful wind Sep 21, 2016, 1:03 PM

Does anybody have something ready - or can point me in the direction - regarding a musicplayer/script/trigger when player(s) are in certain verhicles? i.e player(s) enter a halicopter and a tune plays. I've seen alot or radioplayer or menubound/triggerd play scripts, but haven't really found that one thing...

ah awesome, thanks @blissful wind

script that check if player has entered a vehicle and playSound?

clear tendon Sep 21, 2016, 2:44 PM

Yes, and preferably also stops it when player(s) are no more in said vehicle(s).

blissful wind Sep 21, 2016, 2:44 PM

vehicle created in editor or script ?

clear tendon Sep 21, 2016, 2:44 PM

name your vehicle, add an eventhandler and bam 😛

But, does that play locally or for everybody

blissful wind Sep 21, 2016, 2:46 PM

thats not the issue

clear tendon Sep 21, 2016, 2:47 PM

how would I go about making a custom loading screen? Sort of like the way that Exile does it where the whole screen is taken up by an image.

tough abyss Sep 21, 2016, 4:13 PM

#

I'm fairly certain that's an addon deal.

#

Not 100% sure though, since I've never seen it done in vanilla arma 3.

limber wing Sep 21, 2016, 4:28 PM

I'm almost positive you need an addon to do it, just no clue how :/

tough abyss Sep 21, 2016, 7:46 PM

Evening all, how do I get a function to execute or change the state of something in another scope, e.g. with an interaction which sets a procedurally generated task. I tried outputting the task name as a string into the closure of the function

{[toString[_demoTask], "SUCCEEDED",true] spawn BIS_fnc_taskSetState;},

#

However it still has the scope problem, is there a way to do a callback in ArmA 3?

little eagle Sep 21, 2016, 7:47 PM

#

pass _demoTask as argument in addAction

#

there is a parameter for that

#

whatever you pass will be _this select 3 in the statement scope

tough abyss Sep 21, 2016, 7:49 PM

#

Hmm tried this an it is complaining about type {[_this select 3, "SUCCEEDED",true] spawn BIS_fnc_taskSetState;},

#

Gonna try _this select 3[0]

little eagle Sep 21, 2016, 7:51 PM

#

_this select 3[0] does not look like SQF

tough abyss Sep 21, 2016, 7:52 PM

#

Hmm that doesn't work either

little eagle Sep 21, 2016, 7:52 PM

#

what does it complain about exactly?

tough abyss Sep 21, 2016, 7:52 PM

#

That select 3 is an array and not a string

little eagle Sep 21, 2016, 7:52 PM

#

full addAction code?

tough abyss Sep 21, 2016, 7:53 PM

#

http://pastebin.com/H1Y9wST2

#

I am guessing I need to access the first element in that array as I am only passing one argument, not sure what the syntax for a 2d array is though :/

#

Would be nice if Arma had hashmaps 😃

little eagle Sep 21, 2016, 8:00 PM

#

yeah, you passed an array containing your variable

#

_this select 3 select 0

tough abyss Sep 21, 2016, 8:04 PM

#

Thanks @little eagle , it is working beautfully now. Mind if I credit you in my Mod?

little eagle Sep 21, 2016, 8:09 PM

#

But I haven't done anything yet.

tough abyss Sep 21, 2016, 8:11 PM

Yes, you have helped me greatly in writing these functions 😃

Anyone have any recommendations on a good intro script for a mission?

#

What do you mean 'intro script'

#

As in a way to start the mission with cinematic feel. I am experimenting with fnc_type_text etc

#

Oh. Here's a script I use in my missions.

#

http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=30731

#

I have done some very neat things with it.

#

wow thats cool thanks!

#

You're welcome.

#

Slightly off topic but have you made any campaigns? I am trying to figure out how to get my missions to work in side a campaign folder.

#

Is this the best way to check if an object is a vehicle or not?

_this isKindOf "Tank";

limber wing Sep 21, 2016, 8:57 PM

vague hull Sep 21, 2016, 9:21 PM

is there a way to have structuredtext showing an image in the back and a text overlaying it?

blazing zodiac Sep 21, 2016, 9:27 PM

2 seperate controls maybe over each other? @vague hull

vague hull Sep 21, 2016, 9:27 PM

#

Trying to avoid that :S

blazing zodiac Sep 21, 2016, 9:28 PM

#

I don't think you can since the image path is the text field for images

#

I may be wrong though

vague hull Sep 21, 2016, 9:30 PM

#

I am trying to make something like the mpinterrupt menu

#

And its really stressy handling always two controls when only the button is what I care about

little eagle Sep 21, 2016, 9:32 PM

#

one control, one texture

vague hull Sep 21, 2016, 9:35 PM

#

yeah.. but I need to move both just like when the optionsbutton is clicked

little eagle Sep 22, 2016, 5:34 AM

#

maybe put them into a third control? A controls group? You can move that and both child controls will move, yet you can give each individual a different texture

steep matrix Sep 22, 2016, 9:56 AM

what was the magic sqf cmd combo to filter specific weapons from the config space - say all launchers?

#

_allLaunchers = '(configName _x) isKindOf ["Launcher",configFile/"CfgWeapons"]' configClasses (configFile/"CfgWeapons");

_allLaunchers = '(configName _x) isKindOf ["Launcher", configFile >> "CfgWeapons"]' configClasses (configFile >> "CfgWeapons");

Can anybody help me with this? I've set respawndelay to 10 seconds. Player respawn_west is a marker, and set in the mission; when people join the game, or die, they see the black screen /w a timer but cant join. Apparently under the timer theres an invisible button, but i cant for the love of god find anything to make it visivle

#

if i dont add that people instant respawn to the respawn_west marker...

blissful wind Sep 22, 2016, 1:41 PM

#

@clear tendon I want to help you but its a bit confusing what you´re saying, can we get a screenshot maybe?

clear tendon Sep 22, 2016, 1:44 PM

#

@blissful wind would need to do that at home in a few hours, but do you know the coundown timer you see when you die - if set?

blissful wind Sep 22, 2016, 1:45 PM

#

@clear tendon sure man, its confusing you say people join but then cant join

clear tendon Sep 22, 2016, 1:45 PM

#

ah, let me rephrase

#

people can connect, they join in the game, wait to respawn, the countdown timer shows --:--:-- but nothing happens, untill you look for a button, that's about 1-2 below that counter... which you cant see.. 😂 @blissful wind

blissful wind Sep 22, 2016, 1:48 PM

#

areyou using the respawn templates MenuPosition or MenuInventory ?

clear tendon Sep 22, 2016, 1:49 PM

#

None set, read it default if not, correct?

blissful wind Sep 22, 2016, 1:49 PM

#

so they should respawn instantly after the timer

clear tendon Sep 22, 2016, 1:49 PM

#

Yes, they should... but dont untill you hit that button they cant see

blissful wind Sep 22, 2016, 1:50 PM

#

the timer shows like at the bottom of the screen.. there isnt much space for anything else

tough abyss Sep 22, 2016, 1:51 PM

@little eagle to use playSound3D with this sound \a3\Sounds_F\environment\ambient\quakes\earthquake1 i need to add some extension? The sound is in that list: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_SoundFiles.

blissful wind Sep 22, 2016, 1:52 PM

#

@clear tendon a screenshot would help, so when you can...

tough abyss Sep 22, 2016, 1:52 PM

#

Here https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/playSound3D it says it need a extension, but the sound list give many sounds path with no extension.

#

I tried \a3\Sounds_F\environment\ambient\quakes\earthquake1 and don't noticed any sound.

austere granite Sep 22, 2016, 1:53 PM

add .wss 😉

tough abyss Sep 22, 2016, 1:54 PM

@austere granite thankyou, i will try.

wss = Wendell Sound Sample

clear tendon Sep 22, 2016, 1:57 PM

#

@blissful wind i will

little eagle Sep 22, 2016, 3:23 PM

#

@tough abyss I think no extension means that it falls back to .wss

#

what is important is that you either do or do not use the leading slash in the path

#

I can't remember which, but one way means "search mission folder" while the other means "search addons folder"

Did the update to str escaping happen in 1.64?

tough abyss Sep 22, 2016, 4:07 PM

#

Yeah its in changelog, should be easy to test out

little eagle Sep 22, 2016, 4:08 PM

#

let's see what this breaks

steep matrix Sep 22, 2016, 4:10 PM

#

any suggestions how to visualize and output info best about damage event for vehicle test mission?

little eagle Sep 22, 2016, 4:11 PM

#

health bars. if you mean for every hitpoint, then multiple health bars

#

and they should change from green to red

#

it's simple and effective I think

steep matrix Sep 22, 2016, 4:13 PM

#

well how useful is that? like to get the damage state of the target vehicle is useful, however besides that i would think one wants more specific info

little eagle Sep 22, 2016, 4:13 PM

#

what else is there?

steep matrix Sep 22, 2016, 4:16 PM

#

like what components were damage in what order and how grave (in %) - same for crew, direct vs indirect, deflection event, impact angle, project speed and energy at impact

#

probably stats of affected components (from config and penetration material)

blissful wind Sep 22, 2016, 4:17 PM

#

for insurance purposes ofc 😛

little eagle Sep 22, 2016, 4:17 PM

#

probably stats of affected components (from config and penetration material)
pointless. the biggest impact comes from the denisity of the hitpoints in the hit-points LOD. No way to get that with scripting

dusk sage Sep 22, 2016, 4:21 PM

#

Yeh, the str update borked all the life servers @little eagle

tough abyss Sep 22, 2016, 4:33 PM

#

Won't take much for them to fix it, plus its a good change
Will allow to properly parse a str _array that contains user input, useful for sending info to extensions etc

#

Am kinda surprised it actually broke something to be honest. Be interesting to see the code it broke, unless you were manually parsing strings to escape quotes

little eagle Sep 22, 2016, 4:49 PM

#

of course it breaks stuff

#

you changed the behaviour of a low level command completely

#

that always breaks stuff

tough abyss Sep 22, 2016, 4:52 PM

#

That lowlevel engine function was broken to begin with ;)
Anyway lifeserver issue is an sqf function to parse a string, before it was sent to extension

little eagle Sep 22, 2016, 4:56 PM

#

was it broken though? or was a single "" inside a string meant to be a single escaped quote mark.

tough abyss Sep 22, 2016, 4:58 PM

#

Tonic had old sqf function to parse a string and replace " with ' before it send a raw sql query to extension to run.

cinder cloud Sep 22, 2016, 5:34 PM

they switched ammo count and mag count

cinder cloud Sep 22, 2016, 5:35 PM

#

👏

little eagle Sep 22, 2016, 5:35 PM

#

so now instead of 7 mags with 30 rounds it gives 30 mags

#

but not with 7 rounds

#

because apparently it ignores the ammo parameter if the mag count is > 1

For example, to place a vehicle near a road, along it, i get the road orientation with getDir _road.

What about https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/vectorDir ?

vectorDir

tough abyss Sep 22, 2016, 7:46 PM

@little eagle thankyou i will try that.

i can set the vehicle vector dir acordingly to the road vector dir.

tough abyss Sep 22, 2016, 8:04 PM

[0,1,0] is 0.

i want to place sandbags on the roads on the obvious position they should be, but can't

hmm

I will need to find the connected roads and make a vector from one to another.

what about calculating the direction to the nearest next road segment?

new question: how can i limit usuage of a synced module, by certain players? I.e i have 4 units (player1, 2, 3, 4) and those are allowed to use it, and not the rest...

tough abyss Sep 22, 2016, 9:04 PM

#

make a reserved slot script, name your player slots and use them in said script

#

could use UID, mine uses squadXML tags

clear tendon Sep 22, 2016, 9:06 PM

#

i've got four players: pilot_1, 2, 3, 4 --> only those should be allowede to use the module

tough abyss Sep 22, 2016, 9:30 PM

#

then you just restrict the player slots pilot_1,2,3,4 to player UIDs? Or do you want other players to get in the pilot slot too but not use the module

clear tendon Sep 22, 2016, 9:30 PM

Anybody who takes one of the pilot slots can use it, the rest cant

MyGlobalVar = any. @nocturne basalt

nocturne basalt Sep 23, 2016, 6:34 PM

I thought I had to tell the script that the variable is global

this means that its only local and only accesable inside the sqf script right?

_myvariable = _this select 0;

?

little eagle Sep 23, 2016, 6:43 PM

#

@nocturne basalt
If the variable begins with a leading underscore it's a local variable. And those are only available inside the script and only inside the scope they are defined and all child scopes.
If the variable begins with a letter from the alphabet, it will be a global variable and available in all scripts (but only in the current namespace they where defined).

tough abyss Sep 24, 2016, 12:00 AM

#

Default extension only logs on errors, debug extension logs erros & all inputs/outputs to extension

#

So if you are still getting database errors, it will be sqf error or you are looking at wrong logfile.
Regardless you should go to altis life for support.

shut prairie Sep 24, 2016, 12:03 AM

#

Uhm, problem with that

#

Idk what forums i should use

#

The one they recreated the original forums

#

or the one that's "official"

#

@tough abyss extdb_debug isn't posting logs

tough abyss Sep 24, 2016, 12:25 AM

#

Well you messed up, you just switch out the extDB2 dll with the debug one
Anyway i don't provide support for extDB2 anymore, i closed the repo months ago and rewrote the extension.
Plus i really don't wanna be spamming this channel with non sqf chat.

Issue is 99.9% going to SQF error or you didn't look at the correct logfile.

shut prairie Sep 24, 2016, 12:28 AM

#

uhm, there's no new error logfiles.

#

theres NONE.

#

but k

tough abyss Sep 24, 2016, 12:35 AM

#

If there is no log file then the extension didn't run at all.
1)Missing requirement (should be impossible since you had normal one running)
2)User Error
Anyway you really should go to altis forums/discord (say hello and wait for someone to give you access to the different channels) and just ask for help.
goodluck

#

_grenadierArray = ["SQL1"];
sleep 1;
_grenadeposition = getPos (_grenadierArray select 6);
hint str _grenadeposition;

#

"Error, Zero divsor" in Line 3

#

Is it because I'm selecting 6 from an array

#

nothing's returning for the 6.

#

ah, probably because i ripped it out of an eventhandler

#

What's the best way to sleep within an eventhandler?

#

hint str count _grenadierArray;

#

Because I know sleep doesn't work

#

[] spawn { ..all that code }; inside the event handler

#

if that event handler is gonna run a lot, that will be bad to do..

#

Ah, thanks. And it won't be, only about, uh, six times at the max.

#

ok. pass any variables into the new scope of the spawn, thru that empty [] array

#

{
if ((_this select 5) == "UGL_FlareCIR_F") then
{
[] spawn {
_grenadierArray = ["SQL1"];
sleep 1;
_grenadeposition = getPos (_grenadierArray select 6);
hint str _grenadeposition;
};
};
}];

#

Whups, I see where I bollocksd that up

#

if that unit is named sql1 in the editor like that, then you can refer to him as that: getPos sql1;

#

well, i want to get the position of the IR grenade he fired

#

oh gotcha

#

and i'm actually not quite sure where i messed up that code now

#

getPos (_this select 6); projectile: Object - Object of the projectile that was shot out

#

That doesn't work.

#

It doesn't take the local or global variable of 'this'.

#

Syntax highlighter doesn't highlight it like a variable either.

#

oh, cause you have to pass that whole _this into the spawn

#

_this spawn { all that };

#

it's a special instance of scope getting changed, dumping all your local variables I think

#

ahh!

#

eureka

#

that's actually still not highlighting the variable but i'll try it anyways

#

_this select 6

#

not this select 6?

#

yep

Oh. Hey. It worked

is it possible to animate certain effects?
for example these:

        class Exhausts {
            class Exhaust1 {
                position = "exhaust_l";
                direction = "exhaust_l_dir";
                effect = "ExhaustsEffectPlane";
            };
            class Exhaust2 {
                position = "exhaust_r";
                direction = "exhaust_r_dir";
                effect = "ExhaustsEffectPlane";
            };
        };

        class WingVortices {
            class WingTipLeft {
                effectName = "WingVortices";
                position = "body_vapour_L_E";
            };
            class WingTipRight {
                effectName = "WingVortices";
                position = "body_vapour_R_E";
            };
        };

the wingvorticies won't follow my wings when they fold back.... If it's not possible, can I hide them, and unhide another memoryPoint for the effect instead? or maybe switch to another memoryPoint when a certain animation is activated?

nocturne basalt Sep 24, 2016, 10:26 AM

@vapid frigate I did try to both add them in the same named selection as the wing that animates, and I did try to add the selection to the skeleton following the wing. It seems these types of effects won't animate like ordinary selections. Thats why I wondered if it's possible to use multiple points and maybe switch between them

vapid frigate Sep 24, 2016, 10:29 AM

#

@nocturne basalt I'm not sure sorry.. never done it, was just guessing. You might be able to do it with script IF https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/selectionPosition works with animations (using a selection instead of a memory point)

Alright, cool

Forgive me for all the questions, but I'm not sure the best way to rotate that by the negative.

willow basin Sep 24, 2016, 6:51 PM

Something like (vehicle player) setDir -1*((vehicle player) getRelDir targetObj); should work

BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle returns an array

You need to grab the 0th index from it

What's the best way to do that?

dusk sage Sep 24, 2016, 7:00 PM

If you only want to use the object

I'm adding a move waypoint to a chopper with an AI pilot but the pilot does not fly to the exactly 2D point of the waypoint (height is irrelevant, but the 2D position is a must).

_wp setWayPointcompletionRadius 0;

if you can retrieve the controls / displays with pure scripting. no idea if that's possible

Hey all

I had a look at the BIKI for Tasks, what state should I use to tell the user that the Task has been updated, I have tried resetting the task state to CREATED or ASSIGNED but that doesn't work

            [_hostageTask, _extPoint] call BIS_fnc_taskSetDestination;
            [_hostageTask, "Evacuate hostage"] spawn BIS_fnc_taskDescription;

Why..?

tough abyss Sep 25, 2016, 12:35 AM

#

I want to spawn a heli on the borders of the map.

#

This function will help to select any position on the border based on a angle.

#

But not needed anymore.

#

Thanks!

dusk sage Sep 25, 2016, 12:45 AM

#

Seem like you're over complicating it greatly. What affect does the angle have?

#

I mean if you want to use the angle in a 360 sense around the border, trig will be fine

tough abyss Sep 25, 2016, 1:30 AM

#

Yes, the angle goes from 0 to 360 for complete square.

#

But now i'm using a position not in border and i just create the heli at a altitude of 1250 m.

#

So no one sees its creation.

tough abyss Sep 25, 2016, 4:52 AM

#

Sorry for spawn. There is a way to check if a waypoint in completed?

velvet merlin Sep 25, 2016, 5:11 AM

#

setWaypointScript

tough abyss Sep 25, 2016, 5:35 AM

#

@velvet merlin i found that command "setWayPointScript" and used it, but since i'm not sure what is going wrong i was just trying to remove some Ifs of my mind. Thankyou a lot.

#

The script inside setWayPointScript have an error. This was the problem.

#

It's sad, if you try to make bots a little more amazing all starts to go wrong. I was able to make heli land and release soldiers and then go away... I was able to make soldiers jump from heli and open their parachutes, but the Heli refuses to go away from the AIs on land.

#

Its like if the pilot doenst noticed the moveOut commands and still think the AIs are inside the heli.

#

I also unassigned the heli from the jumping soldiers.

#

May be a good thing not to try to make something that you can't do in Eden editor... I know nothing about Eden Editor, but i believe you can't make soldiers jump from heli on it.

velvet merlin Sep 25, 2016, 6:06 AM

#

are they in the same group`?

tough abyss Sep 25, 2016, 6:16 AM

#

no

#

Two groups. One with the pilot, other with the cargo group.

#

There is other problem, its AI faling in the water. This is why i wanted to move the heli to a exact position.

#

The waypoints are added on the pilot group (the group have only the pilot, and the pilot is assigned as the heli driver).

jade abyss Sep 25, 2016, 10:17 AM

hm, why is every Arrayentry (wich is a str) in the .rpt (diag_log) now double stringed?

diag_log format["%1",["a"]];     //[""a""]
diag_log str["a"];     //[""a""]

oO Why?

tough abyss Sep 25, 2016, 10:37 AM

Hi all.

How do I pass a task as an argument to a Trigger e.g.

 _triggerEvac = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", getPos _extractionPoint];
            _triggerEvac setTriggerArea [5, 5, 0, false];
            _triggerEvac setTriggerActivation [_hostage, "PRESENT", true];
            _triggerEvac setTriggerStatements ["this", {[_hostageTask, "COMPLETED", true] spawn BIS_fnc_taskSetState;}, "hint 'Hostage not extracted'"];

#

It is complaining that _hostageTask is undefined, so how can I get the variable into the trigger scope?

dusk sage Sep 25, 2016, 10:39 AM

#

@jade abyss In the last two you are adding more quotations, and the escaping is working

tough abyss Sep 25, 2016, 10:42 AM

#

@jade abyss str/format etc now properly escape quotations.
Useful for extensions to parse a str _array
Also you can now call compile the result etc

jade abyss Sep 25, 2016, 10:51 AM

#

So now its working as intended?
+it also changes ' to "
Hmm

dusk sage Sep 25, 2016, 10:58 AM

#

It is yes. I just tested that, seems so

@frank cedar you can email BE to get your extension whitelisted. But if BE Servers are getting DDOS or down for maintance etc, you extension will get blocked by default.

Hey Guys i'm looking to do some code within the vehicle init to disable the Simulation of the vehicle until an exact mission time say mission time 5:30am, car1 simulated at 6:00am

#

any ideas

tame portal Sep 25, 2016, 1:49 PM

#

On a scale of one to ten

#

How bad is motion blur post processing on performance?

#

Its being used on my rush gamemode on the respawn screen and other places and people are getting a sudden FPS drop without any RPT reason all of sudden, fps then remain at that low level until ArmA has been completely restarted

#

Ive went through alot of the scripts and hardly any resources are being used, 40 players in and there are no problems until 20-30 minutes later the game appears to just drop FPS for no apparent reason

tough abyss Sep 25, 2016, 2:04 PM

#

Have you tried replicating it at different levels of players e.g. 5, 10 , 15 players and seeing if the FPS drop happens

#

Any ideas how to create a trigger that activates when a _hostage object is present inside it?

_triggerEvac setTriggerActivation [_hostage, "PRESENT", true];

This does nothing, no errors reported just doesn't activate

little eagle Sep 25, 2016, 2:15 PM

#

"by" the first parameter has to be any of these STRINGS:
by: String - Who activates trigger. Can be "NONE" or
Side': "EAST", "WEST", "GUER", "CIV", "LOGIC", "ANY"
Radio: "ALPHA", "BRAVO", "CHARLIE", "DELTA", "ECHO", "FOXTROT", "GOLF", "HOTEL", "INDIA", "JULIET"
Object: "STATIC", "VEHICLE", "GROUP", "LEADER", "MEMBER"
Status: "WEST SEIZED", "EAST SEIZED" or "GUER SEIZED"

#

I guess you can give the hostage's group one of these radio callsigns

#

or, you use:
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setTriggerStatements
and set the condition to:
"(thisTrigger getVariable 'hostage') in thisList"
_trigger setVariable ["hostage", _hostage];

setTriggerStatements

tough abyss Sep 25, 2016, 2:18 PM

#

Hmmm, but if there is more than one hostage with the same group. Then it will activate before all the hostages are returned to the evac position?

little eagle Sep 25, 2016, 2:19 PM

#

I'd use my second proposal. setTriggerStatements with the condition. And setVariable the hostage entity on the trigger

tough abyss Sep 25, 2016, 2:23 PM

#

How does this look?

  _triggerEvac = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", getMarkerPos _evacPoint];
  _triggerEvac setTriggerArea [5, 5, 0, false];
  _triggerEvac setVariable ["hostage", _hostage];
  _triggerEvac setTriggerStatements ["this","(thisTrigger getVariable 'hostage') in thisList", "hint 'Hostage not extracted'"];

bold timber Sep 25, 2016, 2:25 PM

Hi guys, anyone knows if it's possible to have a moving memory point (via animation) in which tehere is currently a rope attached to that point? The fact I'm doing a crane which are using the rope tech but when I attach something in that moving memory point it keeps in the same position even if the memory is actually in other position after the movement :/

little eagle Sep 25, 2016, 2:26 PM

#

looks good, but the message should be 'Hostage is extracted'

#

nah wait

#

you put the condition into the wrong position

#

["(thisTrigger getVariable 'hostage') in thisList", "hint 'Hostage not extracted'",""];

#

condition - activation - deactivation

#

@bold timber I think KoffeinFlummi found this before. You attach the rope to a memory point, but if the point is animated, the rope doesn't move. I think this is not possible

bold timber Sep 25, 2016, 2:31 PM

#

@little eagle @daring zinc Oh, that's bad .. I think nice experiments could be done :/

tough abyss Sep 25, 2016, 2:32 PM

#

@little eagle still not working

 _triggerEvac = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", getMarkerPos _evacPoint];
 _triggerEvac setTriggerArea [5, 5, 0, false];
 _triggerEvac setVariable ["hostage", _hostage];
_triggerEvac setTriggerStatements ["(thisTrigger getVariable 'hostage') in thisList","hint 'Hostage safe'", "hint 'Hostage not extracted'"];

little eagle Sep 25, 2016, 2:32 PM

#

I think the game just converts the memory points into a position when you attach, but never updates. Too bad though

tough abyss Sep 25, 2016, 2:33 PM

#

hmmm, yea it is still not being activate, I wonder if I need to set a side

#

Gonna try setting the side of the hostage which is BLUFOR

bold timber Sep 25, 2016, 2:35 PM

#

@little eagle the only think we could do as a workaround is increase/decrease the lengh of a "main" rope, simulating the vertical desplacement of that memory point but this won't work for horizontal movement.. Sad, I will revert to attach/detach tech then 😦

little eagle Sep 25, 2016, 2:36 PM

#

yeah. I tried this:

private _triggerEvac = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", getPosASL player]; 
_triggerEvac setTriggerArea [5, 5, 0, false]; 
_triggerEvac setVariable ["hostage", player]; 
_triggerEvac setTriggerStatements ["systemChat str [thisTrigger, thisList];(thisTrigger getVariable 'hostage') in thisList","hint 'Hostage safe'", "hint 'Hostage not extracted'"];

#

But for some reason I'm not in thisList

tough abyss Sep 25, 2016, 2:39 PM

#

Here's the full hostage.sqf

When I free a hostage in the interaction I setup a trigger and update the task

little eagle Sep 25, 2016, 2:39 PM

#

_triggerEvac setTriggerActivation ["WEST", "PRESENT", false];
adding this solved it

tough abyss Sep 25, 2016, 2:39 PM

#

http://pastebin.com/cKNydGfv

#

Ok I will try that

little eagle Sep 25, 2016, 2:40 PM

#

WEST has to be the hostages side. that will make him show up in thisList which will then make the condition evaluate to true

tough abyss Sep 25, 2016, 2:47 PM

#

Yea thats weird, my hostage is a BLUFOR pilot but he is not coming up in thisList

#

Aha, systemChat str side hostage1 is coming up as CIV

#

I wonder why my script is doing that

little eagle Sep 25, 2016, 2:49 PM

#

setCaptive ?

tough abyss Sep 25, 2016, 2:50 PM

#

Potentially. however shouldn't joinSilent set the unit to my side?

little eagle Sep 25, 2016, 2:51 PM

#

Not if it's a captive I think

#

just like how your group members can be SIDE_ENEMY if they do team kills

tough abyss Sep 25, 2016, 2:52 PM

#

Ok I will turn off captive and see if that works

little eagle Sep 25, 2016, 2:52 PM

#

I personally don't like the trigger framework. This is what I'd use (if I'd make missions):

_hostage = player;
_position = getPos player; 

[{ 
    (_this select 0) params ["_hostage", "_pos"]; 
 
    if (_hostage distanceSqr _pos < 25) then { 
        hint "success!"; 
        [_this select 1] call CBA_fnc_removePerFrameHandler; 
    }; 
}, 5, [_hostage, _position]] call CBA_fnc_addPerFrameHandler;

tough abyss Sep 25, 2016, 2:53 PM

#

Wow, thats nice. It means you don't have to worry about SIDE etc

little eagle Sep 25, 2016, 2:53 PM

#

yeah

tough abyss Sep 25, 2016, 2:53 PM

#

I will give your code a try 😃

little eagle Sep 25, 2016, 2:53 PM

#

and it doesn't do the check every 0.5 seconds...

tough abyss Sep 25, 2016, 3:03 PM

#

hmmm getting a generic error in expression, maybe I need to use markerPos

#

Yea I need to use getMarkerPos

#

Hmm, which is interesting because what happens if someone passes an object instead of a marker. Perhaps I should make my script defensive, is there anyway to detect if its a marker or an object?

little eagle Sep 25, 2016, 3:13 PM

#

you can use this function:
_evacPoint = _evacPoint call CBA_fnc_getPos
and it will convert every possible data type into a PositionAGL

#

<MARKER, OBJECT, LOCATION, GROUP, TASK or POSITION>

tough abyss Sep 25, 2016, 3:17 PM

#

Wow that works amazingly, I need to use CBA for everything

vague hull Sep 25, 2016, 3:18 PM

#

@tame portal did u find out btw, since Iam using them too

little eagle Sep 25, 2016, 3:19 PM

#

not for everything. but sometimes it's useful to know what tools you already have in the closet. Instead of having to invent the wheel again and again.

tame portal Sep 25, 2016, 3:33 PM

#

@tough abyss Ive tried it and at 30 it all seems good, 40 is where it then drops at a random point

#

It would be really nice if a second person could look over my mission and help me find possible causes

#

The issue goes even further: Fps stay at 20 even when going back to the main menu, a full restart of arma is required to fix it

#

This is really killing me, I just can't find the cause :/

#

Apparently it sometimes fixes itself for no apparent reason

#

For everyone at the same time (?)

#

Alright this is getting more and more confusing 😄

tough abyss Sep 25, 2016, 3:44 PM

#

I would start by stripping away scripts, test. If its still there keep stripping out scripts till you dont see FPS drop, then add back in one by one

#

Send it over, I will have a look when I get a chance

jade abyss Sep 25, 2016, 3:46 PM

#

@tame portal Lemme guess, FPS Drop to 3-4-5 FPS? All Buildings/Objects/Trees dissapear?

tame portal Sep 25, 2016, 3:46 PM

#

Nope, the FPS go down to about 20 for most people within minutes

#

It then stays there and absolutely randomly fixes itself for everyone at the same time

#

Buildings are being rendered in properly

#

Arma remains at that slow level though, all the time until it either fixes itself or you restart it

jade abyss Sep 25, 2016, 3:47 PM

#

I guess there is a onEachFrame or draw3D or some check running in the Background.

tame portal Sep 25, 2016, 3:47 PM

#

Yes there is, but even with it disabled on a live server the FPS went down :S

#

You know my code 😛

jade abyss Sep 25, 2016, 3:48 PM

#

I'd say not anymore

#

:S

#

I improved Id say but noone has really seen it yet ^^

jade abyss Sep 25, 2016, 3:48 PM

#

No clue then. Last time i looked at your files was.. erm.. about a year ago?

tame portal Sep 25, 2016, 3:49 PM

#

Yeah

#

Well I would appreciate if you had a look at the mission now 😛

jade abyss Sep 25, 2016, 3:49 PM

#

fighting with my own crap atm, sry :/

tame portal Sep 25, 2016, 3:50 PM

#

Its alright

#

maybe someone else finds a minute

#

Ive gone over it several times now and I cant find it, its so frustrating 😢

number of objects/entities

tame portal Sep 25, 2016, 4:17 PM

#

Clientwise about 600-200

#

It fluctuates due to

#

I regulary remove them though

#

When the issue fixed itself the number of objects wasnt any lower than usual though

#

It even stays if I go into the editor

do a fps dump via diag.exe

#

to see what simulation takes so much

tame portal Sep 25, 2016, 4:36 PM

#

Alright I was in the editor

#

and it just random fixed itself, went back to 100 FPS, no mission loaded

#

Ill do that

#

@velvet merlin for some reason the commands only throw errors for me "Missing ;"

native hemlock Sep 25, 2016, 4:43 PM

#

You would need the profiling client of arma3.exe

tame portal Sep 25, 2016, 4:44 PM

#

I said nothing.

#

Alright lets see what it spits out when the lag appears again

#

Im playing now until I start getting the lag issue, then Ill capture a frame

vague hull Sep 25, 2016, 6:38 PM

#

any news on it?

tough abyss Sep 25, 2016, 6:41 PM

#

Not sure if in the editor waypoints are more easy to use, but i'm finding really hard to use then on SQF.

#

What i "command" does not happens.

#

If you do one thing not supposed to do, all go wrong.

#

Hey all,

So I have a mission with some cool functions to create tasks like hostage rescue, demolitions, search and destroy.

The question I am trying to answer now is, how do I get a list of all these tasks so I can check they are completed and then end the mission?

#

From what I read on the BIKI tasks are global? So there must be a way to get all active tasks?

#

You can't use waypoint of index 0 and can't setWaypointScript to waypoint of type != "SCRIPTED".

#

If you do that... Hell.

#

is there a command to return the time of day in real life? not game time or anything like that. I checked all time commands in All Commands, could not find

#

I want to see something like hint str(current_time);

tough abyss Sep 25, 2016, 7:49 PM

#

I believe you need a external "get time" DLL called with callExtension inside Arma 3 to get that info.

#

@fallen skiff

tame portal Sep 25, 2016, 7:49 PM

#

@vague hull With the performance branch installed the issue didnt happen again

#

Also, I applied the performance binary to the server aswell and apparently people are not experiencing the frame issues anymore

#

atleast for now

#

Can i use _forEachIndex in "apply" function?

#

No mention in BI WIKI.

#

_array2 = _array1 apply {[_x,_forEachIndex]};

fallen skiff Sep 25, 2016, 8:23 PM

#

donnovan thanks

buoyant heath Sep 25, 2016, 8:25 PM

#

Only _x is available iirc.

tough abyss Sep 25, 2016, 8:53 PM

#

When using a switch statement with side like so, I can't seem to get the cases to work either using literal strings or constants

switch (side _unitKilled) do {

    case "WEST":
        {

#

Any ideas?

vague hull Sep 25, 2016, 8:57 PM

#

case west : {} will work

#

or in doubt switch (true) do {case (side _unitKilled == west}

#

tough abyss Sep 25, 2016, 9:06 PM

#

Hmm it is still going to default

#

Hmmm, it seems my enemies are marked as CIV

#

I wonder if because the soldier does not have ammo they are set to CIV?

indigo snow Sep 25, 2016, 9:20 PM

#

use side group _unitKilled

#

killed units become CIV side

tough abyss Sep 25, 2016, 9:25 PM

#

Thanks @indigo snow , using side seems to be a real minefield at times

grizzled cliff Sep 26, 2016, 12:57 AM

#

it seems to be erroring for me at the end

#

that seems to be a generic .NET error

#

The return code is just 0x0100: Generic publishing error.

native hemlock Sep 26, 2016, 1:02 AM

#

Yeah looks like it, probably wouldn't hurt to verify integrity of tool cache on steam. Did you pull that from the publisher log in your AppData folder?

grizzled cliff Sep 26, 2016, 1:06 AM

#

The cmd version doesn't seem to generate logs

#

verified tool cache and its fine, still the same error

native hemlock Sep 26, 2016, 1:06 AM

#

Looks like I'm wrong, it might put the logs in the Arma 3 Tools logs folder

grizzled cliff Sep 26, 2016, 1:08 AM

#

yea those logs look to only be for the GUI version

native hemlock Sep 26, 2016, 1:14 AM

I can't even get a test addon to publish with the GUI version. I'm getting the same error as someone was asking me about yesterday of

Does publisher let you upload dlls?

grizzled cliff Sep 26, 2016, 1:17 AM

#

yes

native hemlock Sep 26, 2016, 1:17 AM

It must because ACE has them in their workshop

tough abyss Sep 26, 2016, 1:17 AM

kk i knew steamcmd does, but i was under impression it didnt

grizzled cliff Sep 26, 2016, 1:27 AM

meh it works on the CI server we are building

#

but not my machine

#

so whatevers 😛

I have created a very workable Night Flying Dashboard Dimmer for AFM Heli, a touch crude perhaps but totally feasible, would anyone like to try it?
