Maybe tree is just "tree"?

#

Here my custom setVariable/getVariable to allow this functionality on simple objects: http://pastebin.com/DssX35zh @meager granite @native hemlock it co-exists with normal setVariable but override it.

dim owl Nov 27, 2016, 5:42 AM

#

if i want to make it for trees near markers would i do it like that ?

'[] call tag_fnc_isTargetTree && player distance (getmarkerpos "testmarker") < 20',

#

okay if i want to do this with multiple markers should i use

getmarkerpos in ["blabla","bla"]

?

#

okay thank you for the help 😃

#

yeah i want to use this in roleplay because the standard is shit for gathering 😄

#

nice 😄

#

okay

#

maybe i give it a try 😃 not sure ^^ have no time today

dim owl Nov 27, 2016, 6:18 AM

#

how can i get the best ingame voice quality ? if i use vonCodecQuality should i use high numbers for good quality ?

little eagle Nov 27, 2016, 6:23 AM

#

no idea, but high numbers sound always good to me

dim owl Nov 27, 2016, 6:50 AM

okay 😄

#

anyone know if it's possible to override a vehicles top speed without editing the modpack or for example a default car?

tough abyss Nov 27, 2016, 8:08 AM

#

There is a function like isSimpleObject?

tough abyss Nov 27, 2016, 11:09 AM

#

BRPVP_isSimpleObject = {
_this setVariable ["sot",false,false];
_this getVariable ["sot",true]
};

indigo snow Nov 27, 2016, 11:21 AM

#

cant you just test the object variable? if it has typeOf == "" or contains : .

little eagle Nov 27, 2016, 11:44 AM

#

typeOf also reports "" for roads

#

if that would be a problem, idk

tough abyss Nov 27, 2016, 2:35 PM

#

@indigo snow its another way... wich is better? just a function race can say hehe

#

Just want to say my custom setVariable/getVariable runs perfect (the code i posted is old) and i can even use it in general if the isSimpleObject is fast enough.

#

So i rulez... and I'M the master 😛

Does anyone know if its possible to script rack mount radios in ACRE? IE once you get in a vehicle you have access to a specific radio? once you get out you can't use it anymore?

dusk sage Nov 27, 2016, 2:38 PM

#

I've never used ACRE, but it sounds totally possible via script

rocky cairn Nov 27, 2016, 2:39 PM

#

Any thoughts on how? If theres an event handler for entering and exiting a vehicle I'd assume you can just add the radio item on entrance and remove it on exit

little eagle Nov 27, 2016, 2:40 PM

#

getIn and getOut

#

as well as
getInMan and getOutMan

About Trees: There is also now nearestTerrainObjects command https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/nearestTerrainObjects
nearestTerrainObjects [player, ["Tree","Bush"], 10];

rocky cairn Nov 27, 2016, 2:44 PM

#

Would that be helpful for when someone gets in a vehicle?

little eagle Nov 27, 2016, 2:45 PM

#

the event does fire when a vehicle is entered or when a soldier enters a vehicle respectively

#

or leaves

#

@rocky cairn , using CBA?

rocky cairn Nov 27, 2016, 2:46 PM

#

Yes

little eagle Nov 27, 2016, 2:46 PM

#

ok, wait

#

// init.sqf

        _unit addBackpack BACKPACK_RADIO;
    } else {
        // leaves a vehicle with radio
        if (backpack _unit == BACKPACK_RADIO) then {
            removeBackpack _unit;
        };
    };
}] call CBA_fnc_addPlayerEventHandler;

#

you have to fill in the macro classnames yourself

#

I can't remember any of them

rocky cairn Nov 27, 2016, 2:50 PM

#

Awesome. Thanks!

little eagle Nov 27, 2016, 2:51 PM

#

b_mbt_01_cannon_f etc. must be lower case

warped thicket Nov 27, 2016, 3:55 PM

#

@rocky cairn ACRE2 will get vehicle racks soonish, they are currently WIP 😉

#

@little eagle that script will replace whatever backpack you had though

little eagle Nov 27, 2016, 5:50 PM

#

no, it will be dropped on the ground. that's what addBackpack does

indigo snow Nov 27, 2016, 5:54 PM

#

Yea but acre doesnt use backpacks is i think what jonpas is trying to tell you

little eagle Nov 27, 2016, 6:00 PM

#

Idk. He asked for backpacks ¯_(ツ)_/¯

it's not like the script isn't easily customizable

Hey guys, I have a problem with playing a sound locally. So this works playSound3D ["a3\sounds_f\sfx\blip1.wss", player]; and plays it globally or within the raidus, but doing say3d ["a3\sounds_f\sfx\blip1.wss"]; does not work.

little eagle Nov 27, 2016, 6:33 PM

#

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/say3D

say3D

#

Sound is defined in CfgSound of the Description.ext.

rotund cypress Nov 27, 2016, 6:35 PM

#

Could I define that sound in there?

#

Or does that not work with sounds like that that are in ArmA originally and not the mission file?

little eagle Nov 27, 2016, 6:37 PM

#

does work with mission, but you have to define a class in CfgSounds

rotund cypress Nov 27, 2016, 6:39 PM

#

So this would work ? class CfgSounds { sounds[] = {}; class hint { name = "hint"; sound[] = {"a3\sounds_f\sfx\hint-4.wss", 1.0, 1}; titles[] = {}; }; };?

little eagle Nov 27, 2016, 6:46 PM

#

try it

tough abyss Nov 27, 2016, 7:38 PM

#

If put on buildings with usable doors, the Event Handlers AnimChanged, AnimDone and AnimStateChanged runs when a door is opened/closed?

native hemlock Nov 27, 2016, 8:51 PM

#

Doubt it, those event handlers are for player animations which are handled differently than object animations. Should be easy to test though

rancid ruin Nov 27, 2016, 9:02 PM

#

so before i spend a long time doing this...has anyone written a perlin/simplex/guassian noise generating script?

kindred lichen Nov 27, 2016, 9:18 PM

#

Hey, whats the best way to take a spawned group and have them load into any vehicles that are in their group?

I'm spawning various random enemy groups, they all have vehicles, but some have 1, some have 2

#

_groupVar = [ getmarkerpos _closestSpawn, EAST, (configfile >> "CfgGroups" >> "East" >> "rhsgref_faction_chdkz" >> "rhs_group_indp_ins_72" >> "RHS_T72baSection")] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;

   wp = _groupVar addWaypoint [position (leader _groupVar),0];    
   wp setWaypointSpeed "Full";   
   wp setWaypointType "GETIN";   
   wp setWaypointBehaviour "safe";

#

That's what I'm trying, but they seem to have 1 or 2 get in and the rest just run next to the vehicle.

meager granite Nov 27, 2016, 9:44 PM

#

Try https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addVehicle

addVehicle

#

This should assign vehicle to the group and they will get in\get out automatically

#

Though it might be best to manually assign some units to driver\gunners

opal thistle Nov 27, 2016, 10:06 PM

#

what could be used to reliably and consistently identify a "slot" in a game? UID identifies a client, but not AI. netid identifies and object, but it changes during the respawn, while the entity could still be considered the same, it only changed it's "vehicle"
so any thoughts?

meager granite Nov 27, 2016, 10:40 PM

#

Guess: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/roleDescription

roleDescription

#

You'll need to set some description to all units though

tough abyss Nov 28, 2016, 12:27 AM

#

@native hemlock i asked because none of it worked. No deal so.

hallow spear Nov 28, 2016, 8:21 AM

anyone know how to use setConvoySeparation command?

hallow spear Nov 28, 2016, 9:51 AM

thanks

high glade Nov 28, 2016, 10:50 AM

#

I have a troublesome LOAD waypoint. It's attached to an AI helicopter which is suppose to wait for a group to LOAD and then go to the next waypoint which is MOVE. For some reason the condition I've set is only fulfilled with only 1 player in the group. If there is more than one, the condition isn't met. I'm using this code for the condition: "{_x in chopper1} count (units group player) == {alive _x} count (units group player);"

#

I've also tried hardcoding it like (unit1 in chopper1), which works. but if I do: (unit1 in chopper1) AND (unit2 in chopper1) it doesn't work.

high glade Nov 28, 2016, 1:30 PM

#

Well, apprently it doesn't work if I'm doing (unit2 in chopper1) alone either, unit2 in this case being an AI. Making me think that for some reason the waypoint doesn't respond to any AI's being inside the chopper.Seeing it only works with me, the player. I haven't tested with other players yet, but it should react to the AI as well right?

night geode Nov 28, 2016, 1:35 PM

#

@high glade Shot in the dark: But any luck with ((unit1 in chopper1)AND(unit2 in chopper1))?

proven crystal Nov 28, 2016, 4:08 PM

#

does anyone have a simple script at hand to lock player slots for specific players by their UID?

#

i find only one version online and there the responses indicate tat itis buggy

dusk sage Nov 28, 2016, 4:14 PM

#

A simple way would be to name your units, then check on init whether their UID matches that of the slot (hardcoded)

#

If you named a unit unit_1

#

Then str player will return "unit_1"

little eagle Nov 28, 2016, 4:17 PM

#

not always. I think stuff like the Zeus module assigns different vehicle var names

dusk sage Nov 28, 2016, 4:21 PM

#

Never really done anything with zeus

#

That sucks

proven crystal Nov 28, 2016, 4:52 PM

#

does #kick work with the UID?

#

if so, what do you think about this: ```//nul = [this] execVM "scripts/UIDBlocker.sqf";

//Execute this script on reserved units in the editor

_unit = _this select 0;

if (isPlayer _unit) then {

_uid = getPlayerUID _unit; //get the player unique ID

_whitelist = [
    [134223131312,"PlayerName"],
    [131313131313,"PlayerName"]
];

_found = "";

{
    if (_uid == _x select 0) then {_found = _x select 1};
} foreach _whitelist;

      {

if (_found == "") then {
    hint "This is a reserved slot, please choose a different one. You will be kicked from the server. Sorry for the inconvenience."; 
    sleep 10;
   [{serverCommand format["#kick %1",_uid];}, "BIS_fnc_spawn", false] call BIS_fnc_MP; 

};

};

little eagle Nov 28, 2016, 4:53 PM

#

pretty sure it only works with the nick name

proven crystal Nov 28, 2016, 4:54 PM

#

then i guess i need to get me the name of the unit somewhere in there

little eagle Nov 28, 2016, 4:54 PM

#

You can always just use:
findDisplay 46 closeDisplay 0
to end the local mission

#

as long as it's a machine with interface

proven crystal Nov 28, 2016, 4:56 PM

#

i suppose kick will do. if i get the name of the unit that the player is using, that should do the job no?

little eagle Nov 28, 2016, 4:56 PM

#

findDisplay 46 closeDisplay 0

#

That's what you want

#

The problem with serverCommand is, that it requires a logged in admin to work

#

doesn't work on the dedi itself afaik

#

But if you use
findDisplay 46 closeDisplay 0
the mission just ends for this client

proven crystal Nov 28, 2016, 4:58 PM

#

ok and i just put thatthere instead of the line with servercommand?

little eagle Nov 28, 2016, 4:58 PM

#

yeah

proven crystal Nov 28, 2016, 4:58 PM

#

entire line i mean

little eagle Nov 28, 2016, 4:58 PM

#

yeah

proven crystal Nov 28, 2016, 4:58 PM

#

ok will give that a try. thaks

little eagle Nov 28, 2016, 4:59 PM

#

wait

#

is that line executed on the server or on the client?

proven crystal Nov 28, 2016, 4:59 PM

#

i run it on the server

little eagle Nov 28, 2016, 5:00 PM

#

ok, then use this:
{findDisplay 46 closeDisplay 0} remoteExec ["call", _unit];

#

so you close the mission display on the client and not the server

proven crystal Nov 28, 2016, 5:01 PM

#

alright... i suppose ill have to look closer into what that means at some point ^^

#

it sounds important

little eagle Nov 28, 2016, 5:01 PM

#

but something is weird

#

   hint "This is a reserved slot, please choose a different one. You will be kicked from the server. Sorry for the inconvenience.";

#

why do that on the server?

#

it makes no sense to show it on the server

#

you have to show that to the client

#

findDisplay 46
reports the mission display

#

closeDisplay 0
closes it with exit code 0

#

-> mission ends

#

really simple

proven crystal Nov 28, 2016, 5:04 PM

#

im adapting from another code. what it is supposed to do is kick the unauthorized player back into the assignment screen

#

or off the server guess

little eagle Nov 28, 2016, 5:04 PM

#

Yeah, but if this script runs on the server

#

then the hint won't do anything

proven crystal Nov 28, 2016, 5:05 PM

#

ah ok

little eagle Nov 28, 2016, 5:05 PM

#

Maybe it runs on the clinet?

#

You should know that, haha

proven crystal Nov 28, 2016, 5:05 PM

#

hm. how would i know that ? :D

little eagle Nov 28, 2016, 5:06 PM

#

😐

proven crystal Nov 28, 2016, 5:06 PM

#

i mean its a script executed on the server

little eagle Nov 28, 2016, 5:06 PM

#

then it runs on the server

#

or does it run on every machine?

#

if so it does some pretty redundant stuff and does n network traffic

proven crystal Nov 28, 2016, 5:07 PM

#

how would i even make or prevent it do that?

little eagle Nov 28, 2016, 5:07 PM

#

well, how is the script executed in the first place?

proven crystal Nov 28, 2016, 5:08 PM

#

i intended to put nul = [this] execVM "scripts/UIDBlocker.sqf"; in the unit init field

#

and the script is in that missions scripts folder, which is on the server

#

then it would check out the unit and so on...

little eagle Nov 28, 2016, 5:10 PM

#

the init box runs on every machine

#

So you have 30 connected machines, right?

#

And each of them sends the BIS_fnc_MP thing to all others

#

30 messages to 30 machines

#

900 times the same line executed

proven crystal Nov 28, 2016, 5:11 PM

#

i see i see

little eagle Nov 28, 2016, 5:12 PM

#

😮

proven crystal Nov 28, 2016, 5:13 PM

#

so call BIS_fnc_MP; sends out stuff to all clients, hm?

little eagle Nov 28, 2016, 5:14 PM

#

in your case yes

#

But BIS_fnc_MP is also deprecated

#

Should use this instead:
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/remoteExec

remoteExec

proven crystal Nov 28, 2016, 5:14 PM

#

and your line would be a better solution for the time being?

little eagle Nov 28, 2016, 5:14 PM

#

looks better and is faster

proven crystal Nov 28, 2016, 5:14 PM

#

i see..

little eagle Nov 28, 2016, 5:14 PM

#

and your line would be a better solution for the time being?
No, you have to sort out where you want to execute the script first

#

otherwise everyone get's kicked just because someone entered an illegal slot

proven crystal Nov 28, 2016, 5:15 PM

#

uh.

#

ok so i figure the server should check the uid and unit when someone enters

little eagle Nov 28, 2016, 5:16 PM

#

yeah.

proven crystal Nov 28, 2016, 5:16 PM

#

so ill have to run this somewhere from the server init

#

not putting lines in units i mean

#

is there an onplayerconnect eventhandler or so?

little eagle Nov 28, 2016, 5:17 PM

#

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Event_Handlers/addMissionEventHandler#PlayerConnected

addMissionEventHandler

#

this one, but it does not report the slot you picked

#

initPlayerServer.sqf would be the best place I think

#

initPlayerServer.sqf Executed only on server when a player joins mission (includes both mission start and JIP). See initialization order for details about when the script is exactly executed. [player

#

[player:Object, didJIP:Boolean]

#

so you're first line in the script would be:

#

params ["_unit", "_didJIP"];

#

and then you have all you need

#

you just have to remote execute the hint and the kick

#

I'd say you just define a function that does this in init.sqf (so every machine has it)

#

and then you remotly execute that function from the server via remoteExec

#

would look pretty clean. few lines and easy to comprehend

little eagle Nov 28, 2016, 5:26 PM

#

just create one

proven crystal Nov 28, 2016, 5:26 PM

listed where?

proven crystal Nov 28, 2016, 5:27 PM

#

this events scripts link you just gave

little eagle Nov 28, 2016, 5:28 PM

#

Not for init.sqf and some of the .sqs things

#

those are hard coded engine wizardry

#

but yeah, as long as you don't have them, they basically do nothing

dusk sage Nov 28, 2016, 5:28 PM

#

serverCommand works server side IIRC

little eagle Nov 28, 2016, 5:29 PM

#

a few exceptions which you should never use as your own file. I think they're not listed there though

dusk sage Nov 28, 2016, 5:29 PM

#

Also, why not end mission locally 😃 ?

little eagle Nov 28, 2016, 5:29 PM

#

That's what I told him

#

with the closeDisplay thing

#

I still think that is the simplest

#

As of Arma 3 v1.39 serverCommand can be used on dedicated server and headless clients. This requires a password, both set in server.cfg and passed to the command itself.

proven crystal Nov 28, 2016, 5:34 PM

#

i must say, i am entirely confused now, but wll see if i can get it figured out

little eagle Nov 28, 2016, 5:34 PM

#

just discard everything you have atm and think you know atm. It's way more contrived than what you want and should use

proven crystal Nov 28, 2016, 5:35 PM

#

that includes discarding the eventhandler, right? ^^

little eagle Nov 28, 2016, 5:35 PM

#

yeah. use the event script instead. initPlayerServer.sqf

#

it runs for each player that connects but only on the server

proven crystal Nov 28, 2016, 5:36 PM

#

right.. ok. ill start form there ^^

#

ok so what comes out is i create that file: initPlayerServer.sqf

#

and into it i put ```_unit = _this select 1;

_uid = getPlayerUID _unit; //get the player unique ID

_whitelist = [
[134223131312,"PlayerName"],

little eagle Nov 28, 2016, 5:53 PM

#

yeah or use
params ["_unit"];
which is less horrible

#

I'm not sure how if (_found == "") then { exactly works

dusk sage Nov 28, 2016, 5:54 PM

#

Can just RE endmission, as to avoid whitelisting call (if you're whitelisting)

#

Will also allow for a nice message

#

_found = ""; @little eagle

little eagle Nov 28, 2016, 5:54 PM

#

endmission can have a message?

#

yeah, but I don't see any connection to slots

#

atm it just kicks everyone except those that are white listed

proven crystal Nov 28, 2016, 5:55 PM

#

its only because i have that _found variable

#

and my whitleist has UID with name

#

i use it for customyed welcome message

#

so it is = "" intially, and if the UID matches wth the whitleist, it becomes =Playername

dusk sage Nov 28, 2016, 5:56 PM

yeh, you can use a template from description.ext

proven crystal Nov 28, 2016, 5:57 PM

a shit thats true... before it was meant to be placed in the init of the units

#

so i shall name some units

little eagle Nov 28, 2016, 5:57 PM

#

yeah, that sounds like a good idea

proven crystal Nov 28, 2016, 5:57 PM

consider a group with a player only. When a player respawns, what happens to the group? If he's still linked to the grop, e.g. group player will return this same group? Or it gets destroyed?

trying it like this:

}
else

the problem is the comma at the end i dont know how to remove it

why "visiblePosition" ? getPos is enough same with "direction" (getDir)

you are checking " vehicle _x == vehicle _x " (just using _unit instead of _x the 2nd time)

yeah that worked but if i leave the vehicle it shows on the map that im in the vehicle

Of course it works, since you are checking if True == true or A == A or BANANA == BANANA

so i would do it like this ?
((vehicle _x) == _unit)

for example

This would check, if the unit is the unit itself or a vehicle atm

tough abyss Nov 29, 2016, 12:58 PM

On my mission players can create objects, and most of the objects are created as simpleObjects. As you may know, simple objects are created with a z positioning that is wrong. To fix this z error i can have a list of z adjusts for each kind of object, but i preffer to create the object as a normal object first, calculate the z adjust, delete the normal object and recreate it as a simple object, and then apply the z adjust. With that i don't need to maintain a list of adjusts. Sadly this will make the engine create and delete lots of objects just to calculate the Z adjust, and i ask you if this can degrade performance or stability over time?

okay so right now when a unit fires a mounted gun, the eventhandler is placed on the vehicle instead of the player?

yeah. It should've been floor random count

not random floor count

count is always an integer

select will attempt to pick the fourth element

};

#

nah , should work

tough abyss Nov 29, 2016, 7:21 PM

#

do you know how to create a progressbar? Is it hard to do?

#

I know how to work with GUI alittle but couldn't figure out the progressbar thing

little eagle Nov 29, 2016, 7:22 PM

#

I made one for AGM back in the day, which was ported to ACE

tough abyss Nov 29, 2016, 7:23 PM

#

Yeah, I know there are alot of progress bars in ACE :p

little eagle Nov 29, 2016, 7:23 PM

#

it's the same one over and over again

tough abyss Nov 29, 2016, 7:24 PM

#

Can I take their as an example?

little eagle Nov 29, 2016, 7:26 PM

#

GPL v2

#

not that anyone will stop you if you use it for yourself and don't release it...

proven crystal Nov 29, 2016, 7:32 PM

#

illl try cutText and see if that does anything different

little eagle Nov 29, 2016, 7:34 PM

#

you could be right about the loading screen

#

Maybe the command just doesn't work there

#

or it's overwritten at the end of it by a cutText "" or something like that

proven crystal Nov 29, 2016, 7:35 PM

#

now i have hint - sleep - titetext - cuttext - hint

#

lets see what comes through

#

interestingly i can see only the last hint

dusk sage Nov 29, 2016, 7:42 PM

#

What are you running this from?

tough abyss Nov 29, 2016, 7:58 PM

#

execVM "mission_scripts\civCloths.sqf";
This executing this

{
    _UniformArray = ["CUP_O_TKI_Khet_Partug_02", "CUP_O_TKI_Khet_Partug_04", "CUP_O_TKI_Khet_Partug_03", "CUP_O_TKI_Khet_Partug_02"];
{
        if((side _x) == civilian)then
{
      removeVest _x;
      removeHeadgear _x;
      removeUniform _x;
                _x unassignItem "NVGoggles";
                _x removeItem "NVGoggles";
      _x forceAddUniform selectRandom _UniformArray;
};
} 
foreach allunits;
};```
I added the execution command to the init.sqf file but it doesn't work.
I'm spawning units via scripts since I'm using headless client. So I placed the line right after the spawning part.

proven crystal Nov 29, 2016, 7:59 PM

#

ok im very sure now, that nothing but hint works

little eagle Nov 29, 2016, 8:00 PM

#

maybe you loop over allUnits before your script has them created 🤔

#

If the spawn script is another execVM

#

they race against each other

tough abyss Nov 29, 2016, 8:01 PM

#

and the civCloth.sqf wins since it does work but none of the units gets the uniforms?

#

so what can I do

little eagle Nov 29, 2016, 8:01 PM

#

no. not one of them wins

#

but you apply the clothing to all units

tough abyss Nov 29, 2016, 8:01 PM

#

is there a way to make the execVM work only after the rest did

little eagle Nov 29, 2016, 8:01 PM

#

but later create new ones

tough abyss Nov 29, 2016, 8:02 PM

#

I'm executing the command after the spawn

little eagle Nov 29, 2016, 8:02 PM

#

_handle = execVM "blah";
waitUntil {scriptDone _handle};

?

tough abyss Nov 29, 2016, 8:03 PM

#

will it work if I do it this way?
_handle = execVM "mission_scripts\civCloth.sqf";
waitUntil {scriptDone _handle};

little eagle Nov 29, 2016, 8:03 PM

#

no. you have to wait for the spawn script to be done

#

not this one

tough abyss Nov 29, 2016, 8:04 PM

#

ohoh ok sry I see

little eagle Nov 29, 2016, 8:05 PM

#

it won't work if you use spawn or execVM inside that spawn script though

#

as those would also run in parallel

#

yeah, you have to wait for all of these

#

also

tough abyss Nov 29, 2016, 8:06 PM

#

how :I

#

it's alot

little eagle Nov 29, 2016, 8:06 PM

#

some inventory commands require the unit to be local

#

if you create them on the HC

#

and do the gear stuff on the server

#

they won't be local to the server, but the HC

#

so stuff like addUniform works

#

but addBackpack doesnt

#

and addWeapon bugs out the whole system

#

how :I

#

You dug yourself into a hole by using the scheduler. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

welcome to race condition hell

dusk sage Nov 30, 2016, 3:46 AM

#

Could always just use call 😛

tame portal Nov 30, 2016, 4:46 AM

#

What about addBackpackGlobal

jade abyss Nov 30, 2016, 6:10 AM

#

Doesn't work all the time, iirc.

#

I remember, that some commands must be executed on the Client, even when they have the suffix "global" to its name. Something was strange there

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 8:09 AM

#

I have a question whether the following script is set up correctly: It is called from the init of a vehicle (script name garagekey.sqf) and it is supposed to be a key to unlock/lock a vehicle ```
0 = this execVM "scripts\garagekey.sqf"

while(true){
if(Authenticated) then {
if(_this lock == 3) then {
this addAction["Unlock Vehicle", {target (_this select 0) setVehicleLock "UNLOCKED"}, "", "", false, true, "", "", 2, false];
}
else{
this addAction["Lock Vehicle", {target (_this select 0) setVehicleLock "LOCKED"}, "", "", false, true, "", "", 2, false];
};
};
};```

#

I'm not sure whether using the while loop is necessary. Maybe the script only fires when people are close? is the _this used correctly? It is supposed to point to the vehicle the script runs on

willow basin Nov 30, 2016, 8:20 AM

#

Loop is not necessary and you can define your entire if inside the addAction parameters so that the action only displays when the condition is met.

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 8:21 AM

#

this addAction["Unlock Vehicle", {target (_this select 0) setVehicleLock "UNLOCKED"}, "", "", false, true, "", Authenticated, 2, false];?

#

Authenticated is a local boolean

#

You are saying this should do? _this addAction["Unlock Vehicle", {target (_this select 0) setVehicleLock "UNLOCKED"}, "", "", false, true, "", Authenticated && _this lock == 3, 2, false]; _this addAction["Lock Vehicle", {target (_this select 0) setVehicleLock "LOCKED"}, "", "", false, true, "", Authenticated && _this lock != 3, 2, false];

#

I'm not sure whether to use this or _this

buoyant heath Nov 30, 2016, 8:33 AM

#

_this

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 8:37 AM

#

for all instances or just some?

buoyant heath Nov 30, 2016, 8:41 AM

#

IIRC _this always works in script and this when in the unit init

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 8:43 AM

#

ah right thanks!

#

is the condition part set up correctly? bool + lockstate Authenticated && _this lock != 3

willow basin Nov 30, 2016, 9:22 AM

#

_vcl addAction ["Unlock", {(_this select 0) setVehicleLock "UNLOCKED"}, nil, 5, true, true, "", "Authenticated && locked (_this select 0)"]; should do it (not tested)

#

make sure that the variable "Authenticated" is set before.

buoyant heath Nov 30, 2016, 9:28 AM

#

Won't there be a problem with _vcl... yeah, that

willow basin Nov 30, 2016, 9:28 AM

#

yea, just noticed xD

buoyant heath Nov 30, 2016, 9:29 AM

#

I've done that more than I care to admit to.

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 9:38 AM

#

how would I make the unlock of the vehicle global then instead of local?

steep matrix Nov 30, 2016, 9:39 AM

#

what is https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/load meant to represent?

load

#

loadUniform/Vest/Backpack is percentage of load vs capacity, yet load seems to be some absolute value

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 9:40 AM

#

@tough abyss according to the BI page it's boolean but can also return 0-3

#

depends on the syntax

steep matrix Nov 30, 2016, 9:40 AM

#

even more funny that https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/loadAbs is just load * 1000 ...

loadAbs

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 9:41 AM

#

if I place it in the init of the vehicle (so not through sqf) would it be global?

buoyant heath Nov 30, 2016, 9:42 AM

#

No. Placing the addAction into the init will ensure everyone can see the action, but will not synchronize the results

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 9:43 AM

#

hmm... then how do I make it sync?

#

unless there is a better way to achieve the main goal: Unit members can unlock locked heavy armoured vehicles once a request from a stranger has been accepeted by them to use the heavy armoured vehicles. If such is not the case, the vehicles should remain locked

#

@willow basin Authenticated is a bool assigned on playerinit

buoyant heath Nov 30, 2016, 9:55 AM

#

Use remoteExec to run the code on all machines

steep matrix Nov 30, 2016, 9:58 AM

#

gotta love this...

diag_log["_actualMass != _desiredMass",_actualMass != _desiredMass,_actualMass,_desiredMass,_actualMass isEqualTo _desiredMass];

Floating point imprecisions something something?

dim owl Nov 30, 2016, 10:19 AM

#

hey any idea how i could create a dialog when the map is opened ? i tried it but i cant moved the map when the dialog was created :/

meager granite Nov 30, 2016, 10:21 AM

#

createDisplay on to display where map is?

dim owl Nov 30, 2016, 10:22 AM

#

never heard from createDisplay...

#

but i cant move the map

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 10:28 AM

#

@steep matrix
The factor is in the configs.

class CfgInventoryGlobalVariable {
    maxSoldierLoad = 1000;
};

BI already changed it at least once from 1200 to 1000.

dim owl Nov 30, 2016, 10:29 AM

#

tried cutRsc doesnt seem to work 😦

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 10:30 AM

#

This mass cap is bugged though. You can go over it if the backpack etc. allows for it

#

Use createDisplay, Basti

#

The total mass cap is shown as a bar in the inventory ui. Everyone ignores it and it does nothing. It indirectly affects fatigue by shifting load

dim owl Nov 30, 2016, 10:32 AM

#

i think i just need to set movingEnable = 1; in my dialog 😄

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 10:33 AM

#

No, the map will always be in front, uunless you create a subdisplay via createDisplay

#

The marker menu works just like that

dim owl Nov 30, 2016, 10:37 AM

#

@little eagle Would it work like this ?

[]spawn {
    openMap true;
    (findDisplay 12) createDisplay "mapTest";
};

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 10:41 AM

#

findDisplay is a bit bugged. the array it reports is only update one frame after a display was created.

#

So you might have to add a sleep 0.01; and pray the game runs not faster than 100 FPS

#

idk if it works. try it

halcyon crypt Nov 30, 2016, 10:42 AM

#

= 100 fps is an edge case 😛

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 10:43 AM

#

alternatively
waitUntil {!isNull findDisplay 12};
and then hope the scheduler doesn't screw with you and you end up with two at once thanks to the previous loop still running 😛

dim owl Nov 30, 2016, 10:48 AM

#

cant see the dialog

#

if i create the dialog with cutRsc and with closed map it works. so the dialog is right

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 10:48 AM

#

has to be at root level in config

#

cutRsc has to be in CfgInGameUi or something like that

#

check the config

steep matrix Nov 30, 2016, 11:08 AM

#

converting to mass read from config to string allows correct comparison. still dont get why it fails for some values

#

other float values for mass of other equiipment work just fine

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 11:10 AM

#

probably floats being floats

dim owl Nov 30, 2016, 11:18 AM

#

okay i got it work so the dialog is created. but now i cant press any button

[]spawn { 
 openMap true; 
 waitUntil {!isNull findDisplay 12}; 
 0 cutRsc ["testHud","PLAIN"]; 
};

in testHud is movingEnable = 1;

halcyon crypt Nov 30, 2016, 11:19 AM

#

@steep matrix if you're trying to get the (PhysX) mass, it's not defined in configs (configFile anyway) 😦

#

@dim owl I don't think you can interact with (cut)Rsc's, that's what dialogs are for

dim owl Nov 30, 2016, 11:22 AM

#

tried it also with

openMap true;
waitUntil {!isNull findDisplay 12};
findDisplay 12 createDisplay "testHud2";

but then i cant move the map and with

openMap true;
waitUntil {!isNull findDisplay 12};
findDisplay 46 createDisplay "testHud2";

i can move the map but its buggy

halcyon crypt Nov 30, 2016, 11:23 AM

#

did you try createDialog?

#

ALiVE's "advanced markers" uses createDialog

#

but no clue if you can move the map around when it's active

dim owl Nov 30, 2016, 11:44 AM

#

no i cant when i use createDialog

halcyon crypt Nov 30, 2016, 11:44 AM

#

what are you trying to build?

dim owl Nov 30, 2016, 11:45 AM

#

map filter

#

so you can choose which marker you want to see

halcyon crypt Nov 30, 2016, 11:46 AM

#

mission or mod?

dim owl Nov 30, 2016, 11:46 AM

#

mission

halcyon crypt Nov 30, 2016, 11:49 AM

#

hmmmmmm

#

I guess there a couple of options

dim owl Nov 30, 2016, 11:51 AM

#

hhmm okay

halcyon crypt Nov 30, 2016, 11:51 AM

#

add a full screen control to your dialog and track mouse dragging on it, then use https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ctrlMapAnimAdd to do map changes
use cutRsc to display the current state of your options and when the player hovers over it (if it's detectable, it probably is though) overlay it with createDialog

#

maybe there are more but that's what I can think of 😛

dim owl Nov 30, 2016, 11:53 AM

#

hmm okay.

halcyon crypt Nov 30, 2016, 11:54 AM

#

another option is to use https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ctrlCreate and it's related commands to extend the map display instead of creating a new dialog

steep matrix Nov 30, 2016, 12:16 PM

#

@halcyon crypt not its about weight (mass in configs)

dim owl Nov 30, 2016, 12:20 PM

#

@halcyon crypt Thank you! ctrlcreate work 😄

halcyon crypt Nov 30, 2016, 12:21 PM

#

😃

#

@steep matrix as in inventory weight?

dim owl Nov 30, 2016, 12:22 PM

#

how would i make a eventhandler if a checkbox is checked or unchecked ? (via script)

dim owl Nov 30, 2016, 12:23 PM

#

thx ^^

dim owl Nov 30, 2016, 2:03 PM

#

one question 😃 why does this eventhandler not work ?

_mycontrol ctrlAddEventHandler ["onChecked",{systemchat str _this}];

no systemchat is showing 😄

halcyon crypt Nov 30, 2016, 2:04 PM

#

I'd try with diag_log instead

dim owl Nov 30, 2016, 2:07 PM

#

ctrlAddEventHandler ["onChecked",{diag_log format ["%1",_this];}];

?

#

nothing happend

#

@halcyon crypt

buoyant heath Nov 30, 2016, 2:19 PM

#

What is _mycontrol's value?

dim owl Nov 30, 2016, 2:21 PM

#

wait i think i found the error. one second...

#

Control#1010 is the value

#

didnt found the error xD

halcyon crypt Nov 30, 2016, 2:26 PM

#

where are you attaching the EH?

#

I think it should be done in the init UI event

dim owl Nov 30, 2016, 2:28 PM

#

_cb_felder = _display ctrlCreate ["RscCheckbox",1010];
_cb_felder ctrlSetPosition [0.0978125 * safezoneW + safezoneX, 0.434 * safezoneH + safezoneY, 0.0154688 * safezoneW, 0.022 * safezoneH];
_cb_felder ctrlCommit 0;
_cb_felder ctrlSetChecked (profileNameSpace getVariable ["filter_felder",false]);
_cb_felder ctrlAddEventHandler ["onCheckedChanged",{diag_log format ["Checkbox checked: %1",_this]}];

#

_display is findDisplay 12

halcyon crypt Nov 30, 2016, 2:30 PM

#

lose the "on"

#

"CheckedChanged" instead of "OnCheckedChanged"

#

when doing EHs by script anyway

dim owl Nov 30, 2016, 2:31 PM

#

okay thanks 😄 it works !

When using the event names listed below with the ctrlAddEventHandler, ctrlSetEventHandler, displayAddEventHandler or displaySetEventHandler commands, the prefix "on" in the name must be removed. (e.g. 'ButtonDown' instead of 'onButtonDown')

#

@little eagle But why is the SliderPosChanged EVH not working ?

_slider_size ctrlAddEventHandler ["SliderPosChanged ","['size',_this select 1]execVM 'mapfilter.sqf'"];

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 3:18 PM

#

idk. _slider_size is not a slider?

#

also, execVM in an event handler that can fire every frame 😐

dim owl Nov 30, 2016, 3:19 PM

#

its a RscSlider

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 3:20 PM

#

try putting your code in {} instead of ""

dim owl Nov 30, 2016, 3:22 PM

#

tried

_slider_size ctrlAddEventHandler ["SliderPosChanged ",{hint format ["%1",_this select 1]}];

for testing but nothing happens

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 3:23 PM

#

omg now I see it

#

"SliderPosChanged "

#

whitespace

#

"SliderPosChanged"

dim owl Nov 30, 2016, 3:23 PM

#

omg

#

🤦

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 3:23 PM

#

you'd think the game would print RPT warnings if you try to add events that don't exist 🤔

dim owl Nov 30, 2016, 3:24 PM

Here's a question I've had since 2012. Does the 'db' you see frequently in description.ext CfgSounds actually mean something? Does it stand for the current effects volume? I never actually tested this but I wonder..

All vehicles have the option "Rearm on 'Vehicle name'" if they have mags and stuff on their gear?

you can turn it off with a config

@little eagle thanks, im not completly new to Scripting, i worked with Lua, Python and C befor i know what the Basics are like Strings, Variables (global, local) etc etc.

#

but i see that i have a hard time getting an understanding on what the Syntaxes are

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 4:32 PM

#

but i see that i have a hard time getting an understanding on what the Syntaxes are

example?

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 4:33 PM

#

The overall Syntax of SQF and the Shaining of the Scripts

#

like Calling something when something else is happening

#

then CPP files and there part in the Mod + Pre and post init

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 4:33 PM

#

The overall Syntax of SQF and the Shaining of the Scripts
do you know what nullary, unary and binary commands are?

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 4:34 PM

#

not Exactly

#

i think i saw somethign befor about Binary commands but not sure

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 4:37 PM

#

player <- nullary command
vehicle _unit <- unary
_unit addWeapon "arifle_MX_F"<- binary

halcyon crypt Nov 30, 2016, 4:38 PM

#

second example could be better @little eagle 😛

#

oh typo probably

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 4:39 PM

#

@little eagle i will need to dig in Arma 3 files to block this default action menu?

#

When i look at a Script i Understand what is Happening and what iut dous but like i said i dont understand where to start and how i Chain everything

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 4:39 PM

#

the unary and nullary commands are evaluated from right to left.
the binary commands have lower priority, so the other ones are evaluated first
exceptions are the usual math rules. * before - and the usualy stuff with min and max

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 4:40 PM

#

Normally you woudl have like [Serverinit > PlayerConnect > PlayerInit] but i dont really get the Method on how to start on that.

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 4:40 PM

#

i will need to dig in Arma 3 files to block this default action menu?
maybe. but you can use it with scripting alone. Idk what the action name is. Try logging it

#

You mean this?

My over all comment: i dont want Efusion :P

#

ya and that is what the Pre and Postinit would be?

#

from what i know Preinit should be finished befor Postinit is doing something.

#

What would you recommend where i could start on? to get an understanding of Initialising a Mod and doing stuff?

halcyon crypt Nov 30, 2016, 4:43 PM

#

start with init.sqf and "grow" from there

#

with missions anyway

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 4:43 PM

#

What about the config.cpp?

#

i dont really want to do Mission stuff itself more like Arma3 life, in the Mod Direction

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 4:46 PM

#

config.cpp just sits there. there is no execution order for that

#

If you want to make missions, then you can't do anything with .cpp files

#

you have the description.ext as config and very few configs from .cpp are supported there

#

like CfgSounds

#

But not CfgVehicles or CfgWeapons

doesn't sound like it

halcyon crypt Nov 30, 2016, 4:49 PM

[5:44 PM] Zuck3rFr3i: i dont really want to do Mission stuff itself more like Arma3 life, in the Mod Direction

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 4:49 PM

#

Life is a mission, right?

halcyon crypt Nov 30, 2016, 4:49 PM

#

I think it's a mod

#

no clue really

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 4:49 PM

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

They call it mod, but it's a mission

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 4:50 PM

#

Exile for example

#

because everything that i would want to script would go on a Exile server

halcyon crypt Nov 30, 2016, 4:53 PM

#

well, like @little eagle said, the wiki is your best friend

#

or just unpack some mods and check what they do I guess

#

going from level 0 to level 10 won't happen in a day

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 4:54 PM

#

ya i did, i also checked the Wiki but lets say, i would want to create a system that allowes players to Completely Disassemble a Engine, would that be a Mod or a Mission?

#

i Know that like i said i have Programming experience in Lua, Python etc, i know what Booleans are, Strings, ints, floats, Eventhandlers, and allround Mathematiks

There is no magic guide to Arma modding. And if someone made one, I'm pretty sure it's bad.
Everyone that knows stuff about this has learned it the hard way by trial and error and by putting a lot of time into it.

only thing i need to know, lets say, i would want to create a system that allowes players to Completely Disassemble a Engine, would that be a Mod or a Mission?

that could be both

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 4:56 PM

#

so it dousnt matter if i create Like 100 Missions and let them run?

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 4:56 PM

#

you're more limited in what you can do with a mission generally

#

you can only run one mission at a time

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 4:57 PM

#

so i would need to get started on CPP files to create Mods?

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 4:57 PM

#

If you want a mod, then you need at least one config.cpp file, yes

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 4:57 PM

#

alright got it, thank you all for the Help.

dim owl Nov 30, 2016, 5:48 PM

how could i return itemstest and itemtest2 as array together ? try it with this

class CfgTest {
    itemstest[]= {"test1","test2","test3","test4"};
    itemtest2[]= {"test1_1","test2_1","test3_1","test4_1"};
};
("true" configClasses (missionConfigFile >> "CfgTest"));

but that does not seem to work

dusk sage Nov 30, 2016, 6:07 PM

#

It's a config

buoyant heath Nov 30, 2016, 6:07 PM

#

Ah, my bad.

dim owl Nov 30, 2016, 6:07 PM

#

hmmm

#

maybe i just make it manually and not this way

thin pine Nov 30, 2016, 6:09 PM

#

Do you want to return all arrays ever to be present in CfgTest?

dim owl Nov 30, 2016, 6:09 PM

#

yeah so it returns both arrays

thin pine Nov 30, 2016, 6:10 PM

#

right

#

Probably not the most efficient way, and not guaranteed to work as I kinda took it from a script I wrote a few weeks ago but:

#

private _entriesCount = (count _config) - 1;
private _array =  [];
for "_i" from 0 to _entriesCount do 
{
    _array append (getArray (_config select _i));
};
_array```

#

how do you syntax in Discord btw?

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 6:13 PM

#

append ?

thin pine Nov 30, 2016, 6:13 PM

#

append's a good one actually mb

#

my solution wouldn'tve worked

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 6:14 PM

#

The variable is named _entriesCount , but it's actually count minus one 😛

thin pine Nov 30, 2016, 6:14 PM

#

I code deceivingly 😈

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 6:16 PM

#

@little eagle all fixed with this small code:

#

    _object = _this select 0;
    _canActOver = _object call BRPVP_checkAccess;
    if !(_canActOver) then {
        ["You can't act over this object...",3,10,677] call BRPVP_hint;
    };
    !_canActOver
"];```

#

Uhul!

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 6:18 PM

#

I like the syntax like this:

private _array = [];
{
    _array append getArray _x;
} forEach configProperties [missionConfigFile >> "CfgTest", "isArray _x"];
_array

#

@tough abyss I think you need a check if the take-magazines-action was chosen.

#

also you have to escape the quote marks

dim owl Nov 30, 2016, 6:20 PM

#

thank you @little eagle and @thin pine

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 6:21 PM

#

@little eagle this action name can be different for mod vehicles like CUP vehicles?

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 6:21 PM

#

No, I think it's whatever the pick up action is in CfgActions

#

class CfgActions {
    class None {
        priority = 0;
        show = 1;
        showWindow = 0;
        hideOnUse = 1;
        shortcut = "";
        text = "";
        textDefault = "";
        textSimple = "";
    };
    class Rearm: None {
        text = "Rearm at %%1";
        showWindow = 1;
        priority = 5.1;
        textDefault = "<img image='\A3\ui_f\data\igui\cfg\actions\reammo_ca.paa' size='1.8' shadow=2 />";
    };
};

#

should be "Rearm"

#

"Rearm at %%1"
this is the one you mean, right?

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 6:23 PM

#

Yes, the name is dinamic

#

ah, i see

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 6:23 PM

#

it's not dynamic

#

the actions are enums in the engine. you can't have any more than what are hard coded

#

well except for addAction, which are named "USER_XYZ" or something like that

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 6:25 PM

#

This UIEH is amazing, and its is from the very old days!

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 6:25 PM

#

it sucked before KK added all these params in _this

#

it's only usable in A3 really

#

And the function is only a setter. no mod compatibility at all

#

I'd make a wrapper for CBA, but having that would break all the missions that use it bare

#

So not worth it

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 6:28 PM

#

Saaad...

#

So it's not recomended to use it?

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 6:30 PM

#

I wouldn't recommend it in a mod. You'd overwrite or be overwritten by other mods / missions

#

For a mod I would just disable the action

#

it's not like anyone uses it anyway

#

I had to disable it once for ACE

#

because it bugged out our items

#

to have ACE items be shown in the Arsenal

#

they have to be minedetectors with 0 detection range

#

long story

#

but the mine detector was broken

#

and it was added as a secondary weapon instead when using "Pick up"

#

ok it wasn't "Rearm at", but a similar action

#

basically this bug:

This is a lot better to do, but i just come from mod version of BRPVP to mission version due to make things simple.

Those two functions return true or false? BRPVP_func1 = {if (random 1 < 0.5) then {true} else {false};}; BRPVP_func1 = {if (random 1 < 0.5) then {true} else {false}};
What differs then are the ";".

#

@little eagle but i can make my players/server admins aware of the side effects

#

or even turn of it in my side

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 7:11 PM

#

if (random 1 < 0.5) then {true} else {false};

#

there is no point in this construct

#

might as well be
random 1 < 0.5

#

the last ; is optional at the end of a scope

#

Some leave it out to indicate a return value, but it's not strictly needed.

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 7:15 PM

but this is not the question

the question is if i need to use ; or not 😄

they differ from a ";"

I wrote the answer

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 7:15 PM

#

i see

#

Sorry

#

I noticed sometimes i use it, other times not. Small shock.

#

Now everything explained. Thanks a lot.

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 7:17 PM

check out this example:

#

my_fnc_addToArray = {
    params ["_array", "_value"];

    if (_value in _array) exitWith {};
    _array set [count _array, _value];
};



my_fnc_addToArray = {
    params ["_array", "_value"];

    _array pushBackUnique _value
};

#

the first one has no return value. the last statement is ended with a ;

#

the second one reports the new array size. it has no ; at the end of it's scope

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 7:20 PM

#

second no return too

#

ah... ok

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 7:20 PM

#

yes it has

#

pushBackUnique reports the new position (or -1 if it's already in)

#

it's not needed this way, but that's what some do

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 7:21 PM

#

This is ok too:

#

    params ["_array", "_value"];

    _array pushBackUnique _value;
};```

#

Wait, it will not return value?

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 7:23 PM

#

it will

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 7:23 PM

#

ah... ok.

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 7:23 PM

#

it's just a convention for readability

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 7:23 PM

#

understood.

#

Thanks.

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 7:24 PM

#

since SQF has no return command (bar breakOut constructs)

#

it just returns whatever the last thing in it's previous scope was

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 7:26 PM

#

waitUntil {condition;};

#

works so

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 7:26 PM

#

yes

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 7:26 PM

#

Not sure where i readed this ";" could cause problem... not in the wiki (or it was updated).

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 7:27 PM

#

it won't cause problems

#

it just looks a bit weird as it's not at the end of the line in that case

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 7:56 PM

#

Can i use Regex Replace in Notepad ++?

#

I need to round numbers in a array of numbers, 35000 elements (numbers) on the SQF file.

#

This to make the mission file smaller

#

Since i have 12.3563453453 but 12.35 or 12.36 is enough

Just asking... if not i will make Arma 3 do it.

private ["_reserved_units"];

waitUntil {!isNull player};
waitUntil {(vehicle player) == player};

// Variable Name of the Player Character to be restricted. //
_reserved_units = [xxxx];


if ((player in _reserved_units) && !(Authenticated)) then 
{
    [servercommand password] serverCommand format ["#kick %1",name player];
}; ```

#

Why does it not kick someone off the server?

#

do I need to use #exec [servercommand password] serverCommand format ["#kick %1",name player]; ?

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 9:04 PM

#

serverCommand has to be executed on a machine that has admin rights

#

or the server if you use the alternative syntax and a password that is written in the server.cfg

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 9:05 PM

#

well main thing I need it to do is kick someone from a script :/

#

How would you suggest I do that?

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 9:06 PM

#

{findDisplay 46 closeDisplay 0} remoteExec ["call", _unit];

#

or just:
findDisplay 46 closeDisplay 0;
if the script already runs on the local machine

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 9:07 PM

does that kick people off the server or to the lobby?

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 9:07 PM

lobby

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 9:07 PM

hm what about off the server?

I can crash the game if you want that, haha

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 9:08 PM

hahaha that's not necessary

just kicking them clean off the server

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 9:08 PM

#

hmmm.

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 9:09 PM

#

I have infistar running, so I could give them a public variable that is in the array of badvariables and have that kick them off

#

but rather not depend on it..

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 9:11 PM

#

well, how does that kick them?

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 9:11 PM

#

something like this maybe? [ _target, "fnc_forceDisconnect", _target, false] spawn BIS_fnc_MP;

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 9:11 PM

#

it's just a script, you could copy their method

#

what is fnc_forceDisconnect ?

#

you could use that line too

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 9:14 PM

#

hm found in ArmA 2

#

apparently not in ArmA 3

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 9:23 PM

#

fnc_forceDisconnect = { sendAUMessage [[netId _this], "ConnectTo: 127.0.0.1"]; };

#

this is what google found

#

But I'm pretty sure sendAUMessage is scraped or not implemented

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 9:25 PM

#

probably. The problem I'm trying to get rid of here is people using a locked slot (e.g Raptor Team Leader [ 160th Locked ]) but they ignore it and think they are entitled to use it. However it kills them and puts them back into the lobby, however they just join in it again. This causes a huge pile of bodies inside the spawn area...

#

it's really frustrating when keeping some order on the server

paper rain Nov 30, 2016, 9:30 PM

#

Perhaps instead, you could use a titleText to block their screen with a "This slot is locked" message?

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 9:30 PM

#

but they'd still be in there

#

I'm trying to give them a message and then kick them off the server as people just ignore the warnings

paper rain Nov 30, 2016, 9:32 PM

#

Was just about to recommend https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/serverCommand

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 9:32 PM

#

I was thinking a local sidechat message actualy

#

yeah that's the problem

#

the check is local

#

wouldn't know how to make that serverside run constantly

#

can I use your code in a local script?

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 9:36 PM

#

nah, on the machine with admin access

#

not sure about the alternative syntax though

#

Idk. To me it sounds like you'd want to kick them into the lobby if they chose the wrong slot. that way they can at least choose a different one

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 9:42 PM

#

not in this case. I've had too many people just spamming the slot to join

#

20 bodies in the spawn is too much

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 9:43 PM

#

I think you're tackling the wrong problem

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 9:43 PM

#

I've used the soft approach for too long

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 9:43 PM

#

why not delete the corpses?

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 9:43 PM

#

it does that after a few minutes, but the player will just keep joining and joining and the script will keep killing him and sending him back

#

like he thinks he can break it after a few tries

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 9:45 PM

#

Sounds like someone really dumb or really bored

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 9:47 PM

#

actually looking for something that prevents them for spamming the slot

little eagle Nov 30, 2016, 9:48 PM

#

one day I'll hook into the lobby ui

#

but it will probably require a mod

#

We already took over the main menu in ACE. It should be possible

#

there are no ui threads

meager granite Nov 30, 2016, 9:49 PM

Wasn't onEachFrame running one more frame when you exit into the lobby?

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 9:58 PM

#

Infistar scans on bad variables. Added one to the list called slot_spam. If someone joins a locked slot, I code slot_spam = true; publicVariable "slot_spam";

#

That should get them kicked off

#

@tough abyss will above code assign slot_spam to only the player or every player on the server?

meager granite Nov 30, 2016, 10:04 PM

#

Just do everything through server and you'll be fine

#

Ask server, whatever pvar gets there first gets the slot

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 10:05 PM

#

woops

#

thanks

#

almost risked a kick on the complete server population

#

because with 30-35 players on the server I can't check everytime who's joining a locked slot and ban them

#

is it possible to run the check serverside instead of local?

#

running that in initserver?

#

ah right

#

yeah I'm looking for something that works without the badvars list, something I can implement on missions without Infistar

#

For now the screen just goes black, their input is disabled and everyone gets a message that the player joined the locked slot and a request to admins to ban him

#

@dusk sage @split coral thanks a lot.

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 10:35 PM

#

@meager granite this nice thing is for what mod/mission?

#

Also you did your own object ocllusion?

#

Arma objects oclusion dont work with user spawned objects?

#

@tough abyss is it possible to forward a name to the server so it can be used in a script there to kick a player?

noble juniper Nov 30, 2016, 11:01 PM

of cause

#

@tough abyss but, sorry, i wasn't asked, and i don't know the circumstances , depending on those it may not be possible.

no problem man, any help is most welcome

#

too bad though

noble juniper Nov 30, 2016, 11:05 PM

is it in an sqf script local to the client getting kicked ?

#

is the kick demanded through sqf code ?

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 11:06 PM

#

Basically once a player joins the server it is assigned true or false for a boolean (initplayer). If they join a certain player slot that is locked, I want some script to warn them and then kick them off the server, however this script seems to be needed to run serverside to function with the server commands

dusk sage Nov 30, 2016, 11:07 PM

#

You can use endMission locally

#

Without needing to pass to server

#

But if you insist on doing that, you need to use remoteExec

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 11:07 PM

#

true but players will just rejoin in the locked slot

dusk sage Nov 30, 2016, 11:07 PM

#

And get returned again?

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 11:07 PM

#

yes

#

it causes a pile of bodies in spawn

dusk sage Nov 30, 2016, 11:08 PM

#

It won't make a difference if you kick via server or endMission locally

#

Unless something funky is happening

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 11:08 PM

endMission allows them to rejoin, doesn't it?

noble juniper Nov 30, 2016, 11:09 PM

#

can you change something on the basic problem ?

#

that there are slots that some arent allowed to use ?

Yo so when i try and put down the A3L prison gate, the big on. Then it says, when im on my server "Plant C4 Charge", and there is 5 cops online, and do have all the stuff to do it, but why does it not work?

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 11:10 PM

#

it's literally 'Raptor XXXXX (e.g grenadier etc) [ 160th LOCKED SLOT ]

#

Can't tell them any more

noble juniper Nov 30, 2016, 11:11 PM

#

so, its a mil sim, with special people and abiletys.

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 11:11 PM

#

yes

noble juniper Nov 30, 2016, 11:11 PM

#

interesting.

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 11:11 PM

#

it's even in the server name

#

but people ususally get on it through quick play

noble juniper Nov 30, 2016, 11:11 PM

#

is it public ?

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 11:11 PM

#

yeah

#

because there are a lot of people who want a public milsim server

noble juniper Nov 30, 2016, 11:12 PM

#

ok, so its not eventbased, and you want perk slots for vip.

paper rain Nov 30, 2016, 11:12 PM

#

You can create a function that kicks the calling player, then use execRemote to call from the client on the reserved slot check

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 11:12 PM

#

no it's basically just reserved slots for unit operators

noble juniper Nov 30, 2016, 11:12 PM

#

how about i make you call that func ?

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 11:13 PM

#

would be awesome

noble juniper Nov 30, 2016, 11:13 PM

#

i could kick who ever i like .

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 11:13 PM

#

I'm still learning a lot on the ArmA 3 scripting

#

yeah but we have 30-40 people on the server so logging in as admin and finding the names and then kick takes too long

paper rain Nov 30, 2016, 11:13 PM

#

You can disallow that in the description.ext RageBone

noble juniper Nov 30, 2016, 11:14 PM

#

considering remoteExec lockdown, that could be ok, but ho do you get the person to kick ?

#

i cant remember magic vars that tell you who remote called that

#

well

paper rain Nov 30, 2016, 11:17 PM

#

Something like [player] remoteExec ["my_fnc_kickMe", 2]

serverCommand format ["#kick %1",name _player];```

noble juniper Nov 30, 2016, 11:18 PM

#

@tough abyss you can do something against the bodies.

#

missionEH handleDC

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 11:18 PM

#

it's not the bodies I'm against. They are taking up slots for members

noble juniper Nov 30, 2016, 11:18 PM

#

you get the Unit, you can delete it there

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 11:18 PM

#

as they keep spamming it

#

my members can't join

noble juniper Nov 30, 2016, 11:18 PM

so kicking is the only option

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 11:19 PM

noble juniper Nov 30, 2016, 11:19 PM

#

extDB ?

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 11:19 PM

#

nope

#

the server runs for 4-6 hours, restarts

noble juniper Nov 30, 2016, 11:20 PM

#

well, extDB has RCON capabiletys, and you could cause a kick through that

#

is a DB Behind it ?

#

probably not

tough abyss Nov 30, 2016, 11:21 PM

#

no, nothing connected to it

noble juniper Nov 30, 2016, 11:21 PM

paper rain Nov 30, 2016, 11:23 PM

If you use my remoteExec solution, be sure to set it up with allowedTargets = 2; so it'd be harderfor players to kick other players.

Actually, would using the initPlayerServer.sqf event script work? Since it's run on the server, every time a player joins.

otherwise Authenticated is not assigned before the script is run

fair enough..

which file goes first, initplayerserver or initplayerlocal?
undefined. they are two scheduled scripts that run against each other and even are on different machines

paper rain Nov 30, 2016, 11:29 PM

initPlayerServer.sqf would look something like:

params ["_player", "_didJIP"];

auth_check = {

}

private _auth_result = [] call auth_check;

if (_auth_result ) then {
    serverCommand format ["#kick %1",name _player];

the full code into the if?

noble juniper Nov 30, 2016, 11:30 PM

ok

so it makes sense to have the auth check and code Serverside

paper rain Nov 30, 2016, 11:31 PM

well, save it into a private variable, then put that in the if

_auth_result a bool?

paper rain Nov 30, 2016, 11:36 PM

yeah

in the example, a true result would kick the player

so you may want to ! it
