Does anyone have a way to return the typeName of an object? Like the typeName bushes uses when using the nearestTerrainObjects or nearestObjects command "BUSH" or "TREE"

Like the names that are used in the nearestTerrainObjects and nearestObjects commands

The categories like "BUSH" or "TREE"

It's gotta be where they inherit from somewhere up the config Hierarchy?

It seems they aren't all listed there dedmen

Unless they are and this object is unsorted

I've tried each of those types for this object and it didn't come up yet it does come up with an empty array for types

They are all there all 40 of them. And it's nothing related to inheritence. It's a setting set in the Model of that object

@rancid ruin was using relpos bc i needed not only the dir but the distance bc camera rotates around player and also moves toward them.

getDir alternate syntax does exactly the same thing as BIS_fnc_relPos

no wait, getPos alternate syntax

origin getPos [distance, heading]

you could maybe copy/paste your current profile variable file, then change the value using the in-game settings menu, save, then use your text editor to compare the c/p'd file to it

No, saveprofilenamespace is essentially pointless. The profile will be saved anyway when you close the game. Including alt+f4 or even CTD. Maybe it doesn't save it when you pull the plug. Never tested that.

I'm watching these Armachinima entrants and I need to know like... damn, how do they have such precision control over their AI? I think I need to just put together a list of all of the commands to control AI to do exact shit in a given scenario and go at it as a whole, rather than my method of piecing it together one command at a time.

Slow motion code : setAccTime 0.1

player addEventHandler ["Fired", {
_null = _this spawn {
_missile = _this select 6;
_cam = "camera" camCreate (position player);
_cam cameraEffect ["External", "Back"];
waitUntil {

_cam camSetTarget _missile;
_cam camSetRelPos [0,-3,0];
_cam camCommit 0;

_cam cameraEffect ["Terminate", "Back"];
camDestroy _cam;
};
}];

I don't see the problem. Just insert your slowmo one liner at the start and the end. Where the camera is created and later deleted. How did you even get this far without any knowledge of scripts?

Is there anyone who knows how I can check if cursorObject is a tree?

I did the following

#

if ( cursorObject in [ "b_ficusc1s_f.p3d", "t_ficusb2s_f.p3d", "t_pinuss2s_b_f.p3d", "t_pinuss1s_f.p3d" ] ) then {};

#

But didnt work

#

I assume it doesnt work since the tree itself returns 819438: t_pinuss2s_b_f.p3d

#

But could I use BIS_fnc_trimString on that or something?

#

Or maybe not since it will be a different value for all trees

dusk sage Feb 14, 2017, 12:29 PM

#

@rotund cypress
You can do str cursorObject find "ficusc1s" > -1

#

Or you could trim the string and check if the model part is in your list

#

yep

If I'm using a trigger for conditions that don't require any of the trigger specific functions or variables, is it more reliable to just use a [] spawn ={waituntil{};}?
for context it's a countdown timer and the condition is elapsedTime > timerlength

polar folio Feb 14, 2017, 6:33 PM

#

i think it depends on the rest of all code running at the same time. i think one of the main issues with spawn is that once the script engine gets overloaded there is no guarantee when the code will be executed anymore.

my guess is that triggers are fully engine side and thus more reliable.

plucky beacon Feb 14, 2017, 6:42 PM

#

I ask because sometimes the mission ends when the condition is met but other times does not. Trying to figure out if it's a ttrigger or script problem.

cedar kindle Feb 14, 2017, 6:43 PM

#

code can only be correct or not

#

it's not random

#

but time can be different on machines

plucky beacon Feb 14, 2017, 6:44 PM

#

time is calculated on the server, then sent to clients via public variable

#

so time should be same for everyone

cedar kindle Feb 14, 2017, 6:44 PM

#

yep.

plucky beacon Feb 14, 2017, 6:45 PM

#

so it's not the time that's the problem, originally I was thinking having the trigger on Server Only would work better so that the mission end script is only executed once. Because aren't triggers global?

jade abyss Feb 14, 2017, 6:48 PM

#

@plucky beacon
DriftingNitro - Today at 7:44 PM time is calculated on the server, then sent to clients via public variable
nope, serverTime is synced.

for local timings, like countdown only on one Client -> diag_TickTime might be the best choice

END_TIME = 300;

if (isServer) then {
[] spawn 
    {
        ELAPSED_TIME  = 0;
        START_TIME = diag_tickTime;
        while {ELAPSED_TIME < END_TIME} do

You simply just send the startTime to the Clients -> Count down from that Number (using serverTime)

plucky beacon Feb 14, 2017, 7:00 PM

is that because time-from-start is diffrent when people JIP?

jade abyss Feb 14, 2017, 7:01 PM

wut?

plucky beacon Feb 14, 2017, 7:01 PM

jade abyss Feb 14, 2017, 7:01 PM

Yes.

plucky beacon Feb 14, 2017, 7:01 PM

so that's diffrent depending on when they joined the server

jade abyss Feb 14, 2017, 7:01 PM

ignore that one for now. Just concentrate on ServerTime.

#

Yep, correct.

plucky beacon Feb 14, 2017, 7:02 PM

#

I just wanted to make sure I understood what diag_tickTime was doing

#

okay

jade abyss Feb 14, 2017, 7:02 PM

#

rgr

#

So basicly... erm.. just:

Client:

Tag_MyStartTime = 0;
waitUntil{uisleep 1; Tag_MyStartTime > 0};
while{true}do
{
    uisleep 1;
    hint str (serverTime - Tag_MyStartTime);
};

Server:

_startTime = serverTime;
missionNameSpace ["Tag_MyStartTime", _startTime, true];

#

should be correct/usable. (Untested in A3)

plucky beacon Feb 14, 2017, 7:07 PM

#

i remember some arma 2 server where different clients would be in total darkness or daylight lol

#

are there still issues with weather sync? i also remember some people with clouds/fog, and others with bright sunshine

#

that's why so many people just set the fog to 0 repeatedly in a loop right?

#

that doesn't sound like arma

#

no wait, that does sound like arma

#

i've never understood what wind actually does in arma, other than move trees. does it affect projectiles or anything?

#

there's a fantastic video of the results of a hacker in dayz standalone somewhere, with the trees going 90 degrees in either direction

#

it might've been removed cos i couldn't find it last time i looked 😦

@tough abyss is forceWeatherChange the engine version of that skiptime setovercast hack solution?

#

i hear ya. i guess a zeus-ish "10 hours later" loading screen could work. but only with controlled pace of combat. could be disastrous otherwise n certain situations 😄

#

"the root of the problem is first param of setOvercast simply does not work ..."

yea probably because of lazy 3rd party cloud tech implementation

#

dang

#

what i do now is not fuck with weather at all and just set forecast stuff totally different from start conditions in the editor. aka using engine implementation for random weather. seems to work fine but never ran it for hours and checked in a detailed manner, if stuff is synced

q: How would I go about creating a sector dynamically on every known city on the map? (yes, I know on altis this is cpu suicide but I'm looking for a working example).

Because, as proof of concept, I'm looking to make every city/town/village a sector that can be claimed, regardless of the map. The module should just automatically (automagically?) scan the map and figure it out.

sadly, for my needs I kinda do because I am aiming to wrap most of thesector setup stuff into a drag and drop module, set the range on what it'll turn into a sector, and it'll do the rest. That's why the range attribute, defaulting to 25000 range, can easily be smaller if you want a smaller stage to play on.

jade abyss Feb 15, 2017, 12:38 AM

#

Next thing: I don't think there is a "Prefab" for Sectors. I guess, you have to write that stuff for yourself (e.g.: CreateMarker + InArea)

woeful void Feb 15, 2017, 12:41 AM

#

Was hoping I didn't need to go into that deep into the code but... looks like that's all I have. Ah well. And that module framework is what I'm actually leading with to make a dynamic sector control game... the overall idea is that Altis could be split up in roughly equal sections from east to west, and the idea is to take over one part of the continent before advancing to the next.

jade abyss Feb 15, 2017, 12:41 AM

#

There will be more 😄

woeful void Feb 15, 2017, 12:41 AM

#

The sector control is created, and destroyed dynamically as the west advances into the east (or other way around if they botch it up bad)

jade abyss Feb 15, 2017, 12:42 AM

#

Hint: Start small, just play around with some basic stuff. Then go bigger and bigger (like testing around with Arrays/Markers etc)

woeful void Feb 15, 2017, 12:42 AM

#

What I might do, if I can figure out how to dynamically add and remove sectors, is to make the trailing edge of a warfront despawn and new sectors created ahead of the front as it moves.

#

keep it as one sector control but the sectors themselves are dynamic.

yea i dunno about performance of those BIS modules whne there are as many as towns on Altis for example

woeful void Feb 15, 2017, 12:47 AM

#

I already know trying to make every down a sector is CPU Suicide..

#

I may put a hard limit inside of the code, only X many sectors can be created, for example.

polar folio Feb 15, 2017, 12:48 AM

#

i'm thinking making your own sector system is actually a great project for a starter. clear conditions and straight forward concepts. and as a bonus you get all the control over what exactly happens

jade abyss Feb 15, 2017, 12:48 AM

#

btw.: For how many players did you planed on doing this?! 1000?

#

Otherwise -> Zones will be empty, when more then idk... 10-20

woeful void Feb 15, 2017, 12:49 AM

#

That's part of the fun, scaling it for the # of players online per side. If there's less then 10 total, then having 2-4 sectors might be enough. 100? 8-12ish.. playtesting will bear out what is a fair number.

jade abyss Feb 15, 2017, 12:50 AM

Sounds easy, but will be a clusterfk (alot to do) 😄 gl with that

polar folio Feb 15, 2017, 12:52 AM

yea haven't played it in a while myself. but i think there are several versions of this concept available in mission form. maybe you can find one that suits your needs. unless you're in it for the challenge

woeful void Feb 15, 2017, 12:53 AM

#

I'm doing it as a goal/scenario/... something, that gives a reason to why I'm torturing myself (err)... to satisfy my curiosity and learn more about how the engine works. (yea, lets go with that reason)

#

^.^

#

Ideally I would like to find a way for the scripting to communicate off server, like calling a URL or writing/reading from a file...

#

that way I can have multiple server running, each handling a different part of that warfront and syncing up through that external resource. even MySQL would be a good option...

#

DayZ did something like that. I would love to learn how.

polar folio Feb 15, 2017, 12:56 AM

#

didn't dayZ just save player gear and position independent from server? i always thought that was one of its biggest flaws design wise. allowing server hopping to pick clean airfield barracks on empty servers

you should start small though. make your script create zone markers on each town based on location size. then learn the most effective way to check how many units of any side are in those areas considering that you got a shit load of them.

that's already a bunch of interesting problems to solve

I'm working off of several ideas like that @polar folio, it's kind of like a knowledge map. high level concept, broken down into pieces and each piece I'm addressing individually, some of those are broken down too... down to like.. 3-4 layers deep. There's so many things I do have to learn, yes, so I'm working on each byte sized piece, one at a time. 😃 The dynamic sector module is my learning how to create game logic entities dynamically.

@plucky beacon @jade abyss
I think publicVariable and missionNamespace setVariable public are essentially the same. Both trigger pv eventhandlers now. object setVariable public should too btw. Very weird stuff going on there.
There is no reason to usepublicVariable outside of explicitly wanting to make use of the PVEH.
missionNamespace setVariable public is faster, because it's one less command. It should be used most of the time, but is for whatever reason less popular "out there".

@little eagle Are you sure, that setVar triggers PV EH? oO don't think so, tbh, hmmm....

cedar kindle Feb 15, 2017, 9:45 AM

according to rocket (dayz) PV's are sent as priority messages while setvar is not

and no @jade abyss, setvar should not trigger pveh

#

oh it seems like setvar pveh was added in 1.46

#

but it seems to take the target to listen to so they're not the same

unless the first syntax runs for MNS setvar

setVariable public does trigger PVEH and it will also pass the used namespace as 3rd argument in _this..

#

Machine 1:

"test" addPublicVariableEventHandler {diag_log _this};

#

Machine 2:

missionNamespace setVariable ["test", 0, true];
player setVariable ["test", 1, true];
group player setVariable ["test", 2, true];

#

RPT:

14:25:07 ["test",0,Namespace]
14:25:07 ["test",1,B Alpha 1-1:1 (Gefr. commy2) REMOTE]
14:25:07 ["test",2,B Alpha 1-1]

jade abyss Feb 15, 2017, 1:32 PM

#

Good to know.

little eagle Feb 15, 2017, 1:34 PM

#

It works the same as publicVariable does, in that it does only trigger the event on all other machines, not the one that used the command.

#

Which means that it does not work at all in SP.

#

@cedar kindle
The alternative syntax of addPublicVariableEventHandler is not functional and does exactly the same as the default syntax. The namespace parameter is simply ignored.
I also cannot reproduce either of them being sent with any sort of priority. The messages arrive in the order they were sent.

cedar kindle Feb 15, 2017, 1:46 PM

#

i'm guessing it has something to do with the engine implementation but that's good to know

#

any difference for jips when the variables are synchronized?

little eagle Feb 15, 2017, 1:46 PM

#

Hmm. Not tested. Should be easy to figure out when looking at that JIP messages .txt file.

#

The PVEH does not work JIP anyway. PVEH cannot be added in frame 0 and in frame 1, all JIP messages are synched already.

little eagle Feb 15, 2017, 1:52 PM

#

Does BIS_fnc_arsenal_cam actually become null when the arsenal is closed?

#

Maybe they keep the camera object around, but inactive

#

The waitUntil seems arbitrary

#

I'm also sure there already is a Arsenal opened event and you don't have to loop.

Do yourself a favor and use this:

[missionNamespace, "arsenalOpened", {

Wait, is there actually an event for opening the arsenal now?

little eagle Feb 15, 2017, 1:59 PM

#

A" scripted " one, yeah. And it has been there since forever

#

Unfortunately it executes after the arsenal exchanges all your gear, so it's not as useful as it could be. But I guess that is exactly what Jastreb wants? Maybe not.

west lantern Feb 15, 2017, 2:01 PM

#

save gear after player closes the arsenal ( what Jastreb wants )

little eagle Feb 15, 2017, 2:01 PM

#

No, opens it.

#

The arsenal, for whatever reason, replaces all your gear with the exact copy of what you had

#

Which is only a problem when you deal with setVars on backpacks if you want to handle TFAR or ACRE

#

Otherwise you don't notice it I guess.

#

Oh and it deletes your laserdesignator batteries when you have full gear.

#

Really annoying.

#

bugs ¯_(ツ)_/¯

west lantern Feb 15, 2017, 2:03 PM

#

this will save gear when player open arsenal, but player changes gear and at that point when he is done I need it to save it

How would you even reach 1 MB of data? Even saving a whole loadout is <5 kb

You'd need to save hundreds of loadouts

@little eagle i use profile name space, on the server, as a alternative to ExtDB3.

#

Was not hard to do.

little eagle Feb 15, 2017, 2:38 PM

#

There is no limit as far as I know.

#

Although I think that the whole profile namespace resides in RAM.

#

So yeah, don't make it take up gigabytes.

tough abyss Feb 15, 2017, 2:40 PM

#

I just store text and number in it, because this is the data send to ExtDB3. But can i store object types in it?

#

After server reset what happens with this var if the object stored in it don't exists anymore?

#

It take less than 1 mega with a clean server. With a server full of objects and player it can grow to 3 megas may be.

little eagle Feb 15, 2017, 2:43 PM

#

You can store anything in profile namespace, but if you switch missions, things like objects, groups, locations etc. become null.

#

They only persist as long as the mission persists.

tough abyss Feb 15, 2017, 2:44 PM

#

Ahh.. thanks.

#

I simplilly have an array in profileNameSpace that simulates each table in MySQL

#

5 tables in MySQL -> 5 arrays in profileNameSpace

Starting to whink MySQL is unecessary

little eagle Feb 15, 2017, 2:49 PM

#

I don't know what mySQL does.

tough abyss Feb 15, 2017, 2:49 PM

#

So without MySQL and without the need of ExtDB3, one can run the mission in his client, play with friends, and have persistent stuff using profileNameSpace

#

There is no need of dedicated. It will really be a mission only, with persistent save.

#

@little eagle its a database.

#

To store player gear, vehicles position etc...

little eagle Feb 15, 2017, 2:50 PM

#

I know that, but I don't know how it does that.

#

And I don't care tbqh.

#

Doubt it can handle object references either, since you can only pass strings to extensions.

#

And there is still no way to serialize objects...

tough abyss Feb 15, 2017, 2:52 PM

#

_object = compile str player;

#

this dont work?

#

MySql store only numbers and string

cedar kindle Feb 15, 2017, 2:54 PM

#

use player UID

little eagle Feb 15, 2017, 2:54 PM

#

Only if you give that object a vehicleVarName and that still does not serialize it actually in that you cannot use it in different missions / sessions.

jade abyss Feb 15, 2017, 2:54 PM

#

MySQL is simply just for storing data (like Gear, Position, whatever) not varNames and Objects etc.

little eagle Feb 15, 2017, 2:55 PM

#

numbers, strings and arrays basically

jade abyss Feb 15, 2017, 2:55 PM

        "65734534563"    //player 05 UID,
        "45645635634"    //player 06 UID
    ],
    [
        [gear,life,myUniform,weapon,myItems],    //p 01 data
        [gear,life,myUniform,weapon,myItems],    //p 02 data
        [gear,life,myUniform,weapon,myItems],    //p 03 data
        [gear,life,myUniform,weapon,myItems],    //p 04 data
        [gear,life,myUniform,weapon,myItems],    //p 05 data
        [gear,life,myUniform,weapon,myItems]     //p 06 data
    ]
];

To query for a player is simple:

_playerData = playersTable select 1 select ((playersTable select 0) find _uid);

To save a player is simple also (total save):

(playersTable select 1) set [((playersTable select 0) find _uid),_newPlayerState];

To save player uniform is simple also:

(playersTable select 1 select ((playersTable select 0) find _uid)) set [3,_newUniform];

sqf
You goofed

jade abyss Feb 15, 2017, 3:05 PM

#

😄

#

@tough abyss And i will tell you: It will be slower then MySQL via ExtDB.

little eagle Feb 15, 2017, 3:07 PM

#

That (playersTable select 0) find _uid line looks painful. Also this is essentially what those CBA hash thingies do.

#

Yeah idk. That looks good to me. I wouldn't worry about size until it actually causes problems.

#

You could, instead of using one variable, use a new variable for every player uid using the format command, to get rid of the need to use find, which would speed things up.

#

profileNamespace setVariable [format ["MyTag_playersTable_$%1", _playerUID], _whatever];

#

etc.

jade abyss Feb 15, 2017, 3:11 PM

#

Yep, thats how i did it for temporary saves in 2017mod

little eagle Feb 15, 2017, 3:11 PM

#

oops, edited

civic maple Feb 15, 2017, 3:13 PM

#

Does anyone know of a fast way to get the class name of an item with a specified displayName?

jade abyss Feb 15, 2017, 3:13 PM

#

typeOf ?

#

Or do you only have the string with the name?

civic maple Feb 15, 2017, 3:14 PM

#

I don't have an instance of the item, only the name

little eagle Feb 15, 2017, 3:14 PM

#

Cache them at mission start in a pseudo namespace. Best used together with the items inventory icon.

jade abyss Feb 15, 2017, 3:14 PM

#

What kind of items?

civic maple Feb 15, 2017, 3:14 PM

#

Stuff in your inventory

#

like uniforms, bandages, goggles, and such

jade abyss Feb 15, 2017, 3:15 PM

#

Why by name?

little eagle Feb 15, 2017, 3:15 PM

#

https://github.com/acemod/ACE3/blob/master/addons/inventory/XEH_postInit.sqf#L5-L32

#

^ That's how I do it

jade abyss Feb 15, 2017, 3:15 PM

#

oO

little eagle Feb 15, 2017, 3:15 PM

#

:magic:

civic maple Feb 15, 2017, 3:16 PM

#

How long does that take to run?

jade abyss Feb 15, 2017, 3:16 PM

#

Problem: Localization? Commy2

little eagle Feb 15, 2017, 3:16 PM

#

like 0.002ms

civic maple Feb 15, 2017, 3:16 PM

#

oh nice

little eagle Feb 15, 2017, 3:16 PM

#

Yeah, it breaks when you change language mid mission, Dscha

#

But who gives

jade abyss Feb 15, 2017, 3:16 PM

#

You don't know players 😄

#

+ah, thats local, nvm

little eagle Feb 15, 2017, 3:17 PM

#

You cannot get faster than this with SQF, anden3 ...

#

Of course multiple item classes can share the same display name and picture, so it's not ...

#

... What's the term?

civic maple Feb 15, 2017, 3:18 PM

#

my current method is around 500 ms, so this seems a bit better

jade abyss Feb 15, 2017, 3:19 PM

#

again: What are you trying to achieve?

civic maple Feb 15, 2017, 3:19 PM

#

This is for loading gear on mission start

jade abyss Feb 15, 2017, 3:19 PM

#

Wouldn't it be better to use Classnames, instead of DisplayNames oO

civic maple Feb 15, 2017, 3:19 PM

#

People in my community has complained about them taking long to look up :P

little eagle Feb 15, 2017, 3:20 PM

#

lol

jade abyss Feb 15, 2017, 3:20 PM

#

Ooohhhh myyyyyy

civic maple Feb 15, 2017, 3:20 PM

#

So I'm just checking how viable it is to use displayNames

jade abyss Feb 15, 2017, 3:20 PM

#

Give them a simple UI Listbox Interface or let them use Arsenal 😄

little eagle Feb 15, 2017, 3:20 PM

#

lmao. It is, but you need to unlock level 100 SQF to get it to work.

tough abyss Feb 15, 2017, 3:20 PM

#

@jade abyss @little eagle i never got the profileNameSpace tables highly populated to know if it gets slow or not.

little eagle Feb 15, 2017, 3:21 PM

#

No, they are hashes. Doesn't matter how many entries they have*

civic maple Feb 15, 2017, 3:21 PM

#

@jade abyss Nah, enforced gear.

jade abyss Feb 15, 2017, 3:21 PM

#

hmm

tough abyss Feb 15, 2017, 3:21 PM

#

@little eagle you talk about your solution with each player in a variable?

little eagle Feb 15, 2017, 3:21 PM

#

Exactly.

tough abyss Feb 15, 2017, 3:22 PM

#

But hashes also don't need to be... found? lol 😛

#

they are a lot faster to find?

civic maple Feb 15, 2017, 3:23 PM

#

I see you're using count instead of forEach. How big of a difference does it make?

jade abyss Feb 15, 2017, 3:23 PM

#

count is a bit faster, but doesn't have _forEachIndex.

civic maple Feb 15, 2017, 3:23 PM

#

kk

jade abyss Feb 15, 2017, 3:23 PM

#

But not THAT much faster

little eagle Feb 15, 2017, 3:24 PM

#

I'd rather use forEach, but the QC likes count for whatever reason.

still forum Feb 15, 2017, 3:24 PM

#

someone needs to make a forEach/count without _forEachIndex and without counting the return values

little eagle Feb 15, 2017, 3:24 PM

#

Dedmen, fix your unit test, so we can release 3.2

still forum Feb 15, 2017, 3:24 PM

#

I did

tough abyss Feb 15, 2017, 3:24 PM

#

@little eagle you understand, if 2000 unique players join my server, i will have 2000 vars.

still forum Feb 15, 2017, 3:25 PM

#

@tough abyss use CBA hashes

little eagle Feb 15, 2017, 3:25 PM

#

So? Currently you will have a huge ass array instead and using find becomes slower linearly the more entries you have, while format getVar does not change speed at all*

tough abyss Feb 15, 2017, 3:26 PM

#

Yeah, so its magic, or with one billion vars it start to get slow?

little eagle Feb 15, 2017, 3:27 PM

#

One billion will get slow because it will have to resolve hash collisions, but it'd still be faster than find, probably

#

Look up how hash tables work. That is what BI does for setVar or any other global variable

#

In a well-dimensioned hash table, the average cost (number of instructions) for each lookup is independent of the number of elements stored in the table.

I think I figured out a pretty neat revision of my vehicle spawner. Instead of changing the addaction of each vehicle I have it grab the classname of the vehicle who's init it's in, send that to a case:switch and checks the library of all combinations and spawn's the enemy counterpart.

#

Also I was using an ugly way of having two arrays and spawning them with the same index of a parrallel array

jade abyss Feb 15, 2017, 3:37 PM

#

i think i mentioned it before but:
lineIntersectsSurfaces + bound via a Keyhandler to a btn. or AddAction who checks for the model and activates (deletes the simpleObject + adds the "real one") that particular Car then
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/lineIntersectsSurfaces

lineIntersectsSurfaces

little eagle Feb 15, 2017, 3:39 PM

#

returnUnique (Optional): Boolean (added in v1.69.140138) - When false, all intersections in the same object are included not just the 1st one. Default: true

#

:9

plucky beacon Feb 15, 2017, 3:39 PM

#

oh that's just for not spawning it on top of each other

#

You talking to me Dscha? I think we're on diffrent pages

jade abyss Feb 15, 2017, 3:44 PM

#

uh, wut?

#

Yeah, i was talking to you

#

Weren't you the one, who had simpleObjects as Vehicles, then exchanged them?

#

If not -> Ignore what i said 😄

#

If you are -> read what i wrote 😄

I'm sure it's hard to remember when over half the conversations last weekend were about my project >_<

I can't even remember what i said 2 hours ago, soo...

plucky beacon Feb 15, 2017, 3:53 PM

Well 2 hours ago nothing, so of course you can't!

tough abyss Feb 15, 2017, 3:55 PM

Thanks for all the help, as a conclusion of all help here i will keep the find version for obvious reasons.

@jade abyss can't you block me again? 😄

The day you guys do a lazagna good like me we will be able to talk.
