last released one

little eagle Feb 28, 2017, 12:33 PM

#

And what did you do?

distant egret Feb 28, 2017, 12:33 PM

#

[_group, _target, _range, 7, "MOVE", "SAFE", "YELLOW", "LIMITED", "COLUMN"] call CBA_fnc_taskPatrol;

#

_target = spawnpos of group. All worked in previous version.

little eagle Feb 28, 2017, 12:34 PM

#

_target is a position 2d array?

distant egret Feb 28, 2017, 12:35 PM

#

using CBA_fnc_getPos

#

so guessing 3d

little eagle Feb 28, 2017, 12:35 PM

#

sorry, can you paste the full code?

distant egret Feb 28, 2017, 12:36 PM

#

well it's a function i just created,


_target = _target call CBA_fnc_getPos;

[_group, _target, _range, 7, "MOVE", "SAFE", "YELLOW", "LIMITED", "COLUMN"] call CBA_fnc_taskPatrol;```

little eagle Feb 28, 2017, 12:37 PM

#

And that function is called with what parameters?

distant egret Feb 28, 2017, 12:38 PM

#

[group this ,group this,250]

#

via editor

little eagle Feb 28, 2017, 12:40 PM

#

[group this, group this call CBA_fnc_getPos, 200, 7, "MOVE", "SAFE", "YELLOW", "LIMITED", "COLUMN"] call CBA_fnc_taskPatrol;

#

I put this in the init box and it works

distant egret Feb 28, 2017, 12:41 PM

#

ok... let me try again.

#

k, just tried it local (was on dedicated server before) and it seemed to work, ill investigate why it didn't work on the server.

little eagle Feb 28, 2017, 12:51 PM

#

If you supply a position array to CBA_fnc_taskPatrol, it has to be a 3D position.

#

Dunno why, to me it should handle both

#

["_position",[],[[],objNull,grpNull,locationNull],3],

#

The 3 means 3d array

distant egret Feb 28, 2017, 12:53 PM

#

Yea, I'm guessing my server admin that updated the repo fucked it up.

little eagle Feb 28, 2017, 12:53 PM

#

There was a bug with CBA_fnc_getPos. It would report the array reference instead of a copy.

#

So bad code that relies on the array reference will be broken now

#

Dunno if that is what's happening here.

distant egret Feb 28, 2017, 1:00 PM

#

Seems to work now.. idk what happened but it works now. Thx for the help anyway.

How can I do that when a civilian die mission is fail or hint a message?

halcyon crypt Feb 28, 2017, 2:30 PM

#

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Eden_Editor:_Trigger

#

possibly

oak marten Feb 28, 2017, 2:34 PM

#

I know, but any civilian, not specific !alive my_civilian, neither civilian not present (all civilian not present)

tough abyss Feb 28, 2017, 2:35 PM

#

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Event_Handlers/addMissionEventHandler#EntityKilled is the more proper way 😃

oak marten Feb 28, 2017, 2:35 PM

#

for example, 50 civilian, 1 civilian die and then mission fail or you see a message: "a civilian die"

tough abyss Feb 28, 2017, 2:37 PM

#

just use

addmissioneventhandler ["Entitykilled","_this call your_fnc"];

to call your_fnc which contains the code for bis_fnc_endMission

oak marten Feb 28, 2017, 2:38 PM

#

entitykilled is a specific unit?

#

its more as any of civilian killed then trigger on

tough abyss Feb 28, 2017, 2:39 PM

#

No its triggered if any unit is killed. but it's calling the function and inside the function you can use if(side (_this select 0) == civilian) then {code}

oak marten Feb 28, 2017, 2:40 PM

#

what mean select 0?

tough abyss Feb 28, 2017, 2:40 PM

#

wait I PM u

oak marten Feb 28, 2017, 3:05 PM

I need ideas for civilian ai script. Anyone got any good pointers / examples?

#

I think it should also include animals and probobly run on the server (hc manages normal ai). Probobly best to just spawn them around the players ?

slim apex Feb 28, 2017, 3:38 PM

#

In what aspects? Do you want the AI to act like normal civilians? Or rebelious civilians?

peak plover Feb 28, 2017, 3:38 PM

#

See that's a great idea. Thanks

slim apex Feb 28, 2017, 3:38 PM

#

Glad i could help? 😄

tough abyss Feb 28, 2017, 3:39 PM

#

lol

peak plover Feb 28, 2017, 3:39 PM

#

They should probobly be open to rebellion, also they are kind of more like an ambient feature, which is supposed to distract the players. So the players would not shoot on sight and be cautious.

slim apex Feb 28, 2017, 3:40 PM

#

So, sort of like a Takistan Milsim sorta thing?

peak plover Feb 28, 2017, 3:40 PM

#

Yeah, it's for "Insurgency"

slim apex Feb 28, 2017, 3:41 PM

#

Like, where people could be armed, but not everyone?

#

Ah, ok

peak plover Feb 28, 2017, 3:41 PM

#

I need a bunch of ideas and features, maybe some good examples, before i start working on it

slim apex Feb 28, 2017, 3:41 PM

#

Where is it based?

peak plover Feb 28, 2017, 3:42 PM

#

Currently chernarus, but I want to have Tanoa(vanilla) and Takistan as well

#

Once all the features have been completed.

slim apex Feb 28, 2017, 3:44 PM

#

Cherno, you could have some sort of russian-ish millitary style, so some AI are equiped with some russian made pistols etc, or AKs

#

These ideas are if you're doing modded btw

peak plover Feb 28, 2017, 3:45 PM

#

The military combatants are already there, just need some cool civilians / animals

slim apex Feb 28, 2017, 3:45 PM

#

Taki, AI with suicide vests, AKs and random spawning IEDs (I know that doesn't really sit in with AI, but it could look like the AI placed them?)

#

Are you doing hostile vehicles at all?

peak plover Feb 28, 2017, 3:46 PM

#

Yeah

slim apex Feb 28, 2017, 3:46 PM

#

You could find a mod for a "Home-Made Pickup with a PKP" and do a small spawning rate for those? 😛

#

I'm not really sure tbh, but those are some basic ideas

peak plover Feb 28, 2017, 3:47 PM

#

Yeah for taki IED's and suicide vests sound good

safe forum Feb 28, 2017, 5:08 PM

#

how I can delete variable, that added via setVariable?

slim apex Feb 28, 2017, 5:08 PM

#

Set it as blank? Or if you've got a true/false variable, set it to true/false by using setVariable again

indigo snow Feb 28, 2017, 5:09 PM

#

setting a variable to nil "deletes" it for most uses

safe forum Feb 28, 2017, 5:10 PM

#

I use allVariables and I want to delete variable from this array

#

in A3 setVariable broadcast nil value

slim apex Feb 28, 2017, 5:10 PM

#

I've never worked with allVariables before, so i can't really help you there. Sorry 😦

meager granite Feb 28, 2017, 5:13 PM

#

missionNamespace setVariable ["something", nil];

#

Or whatever namespace you used allVariables on

safe forum Feb 28, 2017, 5:15 PM

#

I set variable on object

tough abyss Feb 28, 2017, 5:15 PM

#

i don't think you can delete it from the allVariables array as it deals like a diagnostic output. As Sa-Matra mentioned, you can set variables to nil and they won't be in the array afaik. If you want to be safe, put allvariables into battleye-filters

safe forum Feb 28, 2017, 5:17 PM

#

I'll try, thanks

meager granite Feb 28, 2017, 5:18 PM

#

same thing

#

_unit setVariable ["something", nil]

slim apex Feb 28, 2017, 5:18 PM

#

Couldn't you do this setVariable?

#

Or would that not work?

tough abyss Feb 28, 2017, 5:19 PM

#

if i understood right, he just wants a variable to be invisible in the allVariables-Array but not delete its value

cedar kindle Feb 28, 2017, 6:03 PM

#

then it wouldn't be a variable 😄

#

you can't modify that array

plucky beacon Feb 28, 2017, 6:18 PM

#

I'm having this weird glitch only on dedicated servers, I play the mission and it runs the failure condition, I select the same mission again right after and it fails immediately at the start. Is it not reinitalizing variables?

slim apex Feb 28, 2017, 6:25 PM

#

Hmm, that's weird. Try going to the server admins topic? That could help

meager granite Feb 28, 2017, 6:28 PM

#

what variables?

plucky beacon Feb 28, 2017, 6:32 PM

#

    if(!MissionActive) exitWith {};
    if (EndScreen) exitWith {};
    EndScreen = true;
    publicVariable "EndScreen";
    playMusic "Failure";
    sleep 2;
    Command sideRadio "MissionFailed";
    ["Command", "Mission failed, bring it next time!"] call BIS_fnc_showSubtitle;
    sleep 1;
    ["End2",False,True,False] call BIS_fnc_endMission;

I tried to circumvent the issue with a boolean, but it looks like it's somehow being saved

Hey

Is it allowed to offer paid scripting job and/or stake of a game studio here?

plucky beacon Feb 28, 2017, 6:37 PM

BluforPlayers = [];

BluforPlayers = allUnits select {side group _x == west};

BluforPlayers call missionStarter_fnc_remainBlufor;

which starts from here

#

and yess I know allUnits doesn't inclead dead ones

but I could possibly use the function for something else

@tough abyss No, we had to quit because of real life happenings. Our scripter can't continue due to his health, and I was thinking about trying once more with new team and this time funding from the start unlike earlier

#

Eg. my dad and grandpa committed suicide and scripter lost his mother (father had died earlier) and we also both fell sick, but I've recovered now, so I got that going for me

If you blindly use it, yes

There isn't many situations you could just stick count in place of forEach and not expect errors

Using count instead of for each is dumb and you should feel baf

turbid thunder Mar 1, 2017, 11:28 AM

#

"Micro optimisation" more like Nano Optimisation :D

#

But good to know that count can execute code. Thought it could only be supplied with an array and an optional condition

#

Idea. Lets use forEach to count stuff

nocturne bluff Mar 1, 2017, 11:34 AM

#

Alteast that would more vaild then using count to loop over items :>

still forum Mar 1, 2017, 11:37 AM

#

Also as I recently found out true is a function call. So you are swapping the variable assignment from forEach for a function call. If that get's fixed someday count may even have a higher benefit that it does now

peak plover Mar 1, 2017, 12:28 PM

My script is slow as is, some people just aren't rich enough to afford forEach in it's simplicity.

Duplicate information that is copy pasted. The variable names

peak plover Mar 1, 2017, 3:20 PM

Please elaborate

little eagle Mar 1, 2017, 3:20 PM

#

Let's say you have this:

private ["_var1","_var2"]; 
_var1 = 0; 
_var2 = 0;

#

And you want to add _var3

#

You have to write down _var3 two times

peak plover Mar 1, 2017, 3:21 PM

#

Yes

little eagle Mar 1, 2017, 3:21 PM

#

private _var1 = 0; 
private _var2 = 0;

#

Here you have to write down _var3 only once.

peak plover Mar 1, 2017, 3:22 PM

#

Yes, I guess that's where the extra speed comes from

little eagle Mar 1, 2017, 3:22 PM

#

It comes from not having to iterate through an array of strings. Avoiding redundancy on the other hand improves maintainability of the code.

#

So the keyword is better on both fronts.

peak plover Mar 1, 2017, 3:23 PM

#

It's just I've been using private for the longest time and I doubt the reality of my own excistance after acquiring the thruth.

willow basin Mar 1, 2017, 3:23 PM

#

Sure, the variables are initialized only once by doing private _xyz = 0;

little eagle Mar 1, 2017, 3:24 PM

#

There is no initialization of variables in SQF. private sets the variables home scope.

#

The only performance difference is from having one less command that iterates through an array of strings. That's all.

halcyon crypt Mar 1, 2017, 3:24 PM

#

I wonder what made BI go with the private array thing in the first place

#

it's just weird

little eagle Mar 1, 2017, 3:25 PM

#

SQF doesn't use any keywords besides = (asignement) and private. They probably wanted to avoid keywords for simplicity of the language.

halcyon crypt Mar 1, 2017, 3:26 PM

#

I guess

peak plover Mar 1, 2017, 3:26 PM

#

Interesting

willow basin Mar 1, 2017, 3:27 PM

#

Sure but by telling him private ["_xyz"] SQF reserves the variable _xyz for the currents scope and you do that in once step together with the value assigment by using private _xyz = 0 rather than in 2 steps. Or am I totally wrong?

halcyon crypt Mar 1, 2017, 3:27 PM

#

must be their interpretation of non-programmer friendly 😛

little eagle Mar 1, 2017, 3:29 PM

#

Two steps, sure. But there is no "initialization" internally. The overhead is from doing one additional command (C++ function call) and the input validation (is "_xyz" a SQF string?).

#

And creating the array in case of private ARRAY vs. private STRING.

#

I personally don't mind the performance difference, but I can't stand the redundancy. Pain in the ass when changing variable names (oops, forgot to change the private array at the function top).

willow basin Mar 1, 2017, 3:35 PM

#

Yea, I also personally prefer setting the access modifier on the first variable initialization / assigment.

Or maybe use onDraw EVH

#

try this https://hastebin.com/palefaroji.cs

#

actually gotta change something

#

Should work https://hastebin.com/amobiyigaq.php

#

Will set the text of the marker to ""

#

so no text

#

if not in a channel that are not in the _blacklistedArray

#

so sidechat would be 1 command would be 6 global would be 0

#

All the channel numbers can be found on the BIS Wiki

is it just a vehicle with the module classname?

peak plover Mar 2, 2017, 2:00 AM

For example the time multiplier module

#

    _center = createCenter sideLogic;
    _group = createGroup _center;

    _module = _group createUnit ["ModuleTimeMultiplier_F", [0,0,0],[],0.5,"NONE"];
    _module setVariable ["TimeMultiplier", mission_time_accel];

iiiinteresting

createCenter is not needed in A3

_group = createGroup West; <- Enough

It's a legacy command. Center is automatically created for you.

looking through functions like this https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_moduleCurator kinda odd there isn't anything there at all, must be obsolete

#

is the first paramter in brackets the name of the module?

peak plover Mar 2, 2017, 2:06 AM

#

Curator implies zeus

plucky beacon Mar 2, 2017, 2:06 AM

ya that was just sort of a side note, it's got no documentation in game or out

must be int he file itself

You can click the config button in the editor

plucky beacon Mar 2, 2017, 2:07 AM

but anyway, is the first parameter in brackets the variable name?

peak plover Mar 2, 2017, 2:07 AM

#

And scroll thorugh them until you find your module

plucky beacon Mar 2, 2017, 2:07 AM

#

oh

#

nothing I guess

#

don't even know how it worked

#

shit you don't even need to create a module

#

assigning a curator makes a module already

#

wait what no

#

only if there is already an unassigned zeus module

#

hm

#

not sure if this is even worth the effort atm, I don't even need it I was just curious

#

more or less I was thinking of a backup script I would paste in the debu anyway

#

so that really wouldn't ahve been the issue

#

I think commy psoted that too

#

thanks

#

in zeus?

#

i don't think zeus can change module attributes?

#

assignCurator does that thouhgh

wait hang on

I'm talking about changing attributes of the module to include all unofficialaddons

does XEH also overwrite the new EH subclasses?

class CAManBase: Man { class EventHandlers: EventHandlers { class XXX { init = "..."; fired = "..."; reloaded = "..."; }; }; };

its does for the normal EH without the subclasses

@tough abyss
It animates the door, just as it would, when you use the actionMenu entry "Open/Close Door"

#

It can easily be modified to open/close it with some steps in it (like: 1. step -> 25%, next another 25% etc

yep

fire a rocket in Arma = always flies straight from the tube

while in reality in helos they have a dispersion on purpose to hit an area

similar for infantry launchers - in reality many factors influence how exactly the vector turns out to be the rocket leaves the tube

Does anyone know why this script snippet doesn't work properly? It just ejects one player (the one who called the function) instead of all passengers.

_heli = vehicle player;

 if((assignedVehicleRole _x) isEqualTo ["cargo"]) then 
 { 
  _x action ["GetOut", _heli];

How can I pass a local variable from a vehicle to a script?
I have _ lights = false; in my vehicle init and __shine = _vehicle getVariable ["lights", ["Not set", var]] select 1; in my script but it doesn't work

meager granite Mar 2, 2017, 3:26 PM

#

Your local variable ceases to exist as soon as init code ends

#

You probably wanted entity variable (setVariable)

#

keep in mind that init field executes for each client separately and each new player that joins

bleak schooner Mar 2, 2017, 3:31 PM

#

What I want to do is have a variable for each vehicle if the emergency lights are on or off. A scirpt should check if the lights are allready on and if yes delete the lights

#

Any idea how to do this?

still forum Mar 2, 2017, 3:34 PM

just setVariable on the vehicle when the lights are created ?

does XEH also overwrite the new EH subclasses?
No, it uses it's own class.

rotund cypress Mar 2, 2017, 10:38 PM

#

I'm not sure if I should use _forEachIndex or not, but when I tried that it only gave me problems.

little eagle Mar 2, 2017, 10:39 PM

#

You should use side group _x

rotund cypress Mar 2, 2017, 10:40 PM

#

Why?

little eagle Mar 2, 2017, 10:40 PM

#

It's funny how no one seems to use side group _unit even though it matters, yet everyone seems to use units group _unit where it's pointless.

#

side OBJECT reports SIDE_ENEMEY for renegades and SIDE_FRIENDLY for captives.

rotund cypress Mar 2, 2017, 10:41 PM

#

So you mean private _playerAdded = switch side group _x do {?

#

I don't see how that matters in this case

little eagle Mar 2, 2017, 10:42 PM

#

It matters because

side OBJECT reports SIDE_ENEMEY for renegades and SIDE_FRIENDLY for captives.

rotund cypress Mar 2, 2017, 10:42 PM

What does that mean?

side player // west
player setCaptive true;
side player // side_firendly

player addRating -3000;
side player // side_enemy

Probably _treeFactionCategories being undefined

rotund cypress Mar 2, 2017, 10:46 PM

#

It's being defined though

#

private _treeFactionCategories = _ctrlTree tvAdd [[_playerCategory,0], _x];

little eagle Mar 2, 2017, 10:46 PM

#

It says any, expected number

#

and the other number is hard coded 3

#

So it's undefined or a different type

#

diag_log

#

diag_log [_treeFactionCategories];

#

if you use this ^ array version, it will log undefined variables too

rotund cypress Mar 2, 2017, 10:49 PM

#

it logs to any

#

but i dont see how that is possible

#

since it adds the faction categories to the tree view

little eagle Mar 2, 2017, 10:55 PM

#

shrug

rotund cypress Mar 2, 2017, 10:55 PM

#

?

#

Like it's being defined here { private _treeFactionCategories = _ctrlTree tvAdd [[_playerCategory,0], _x]; } forEach _factions;

#

ok i think i now, it's in another scope so that might be why

#

i dont know if foreach is treated like another scope

little eagle Mar 2, 2017, 11:00 PM

#

It is.

rotund cypress Mar 2, 2017, 11:01 PM

#

then ye thats my problem lul

little eagle Mar 2, 2017, 11:01 PM

Code is weird anyway. You only save the last return value?

You can do this:

#

Wut?

#

        private _treeFactionCategories = {
            _ctrlTree tvAdd [[_playerCategory,0], _x];
        } forEach _factions;

#

But that stores only the last return value of tvAdd. Is that correct?

rotund cypress Mar 2, 2017, 11:02 PM

#

Since its foreach after

little eagle Mar 2, 2017, 11:03 PM

#

forEach returns the return value of the last iteration.

rotund cypress Mar 2, 2017, 11:03 PM

#

It doesn't take time as a parameter, but you could make a copy of the function and change it.

You don't have to extract the game files to get the function. You can just open the functions viewer and copy paste the code.

@velvet merlin I can't really follow the logic of why you would do that, but yeah, it would fire the event twice.

The old configs are annoying to work with. I consider them deprecated and just use CBA_fnc_addClassEventHandler

velvet merlin Mar 3, 2017, 11:43 AM

well so far we have passive CBA support (not required) - yet with the subclass system instead EH, the XEH defs seem no longer needed (unless as said one needs/wants additional features provided by XEH)

If you already use the subclasses, then there is no reason to use XEH.

I'm using BIS_fnc_typeText with an integer custom position of the text (not the left,center,right variables)

jade abyss Mar 3, 2017, 12:37 PM

iirc: The SIZE you choose depends on choosen the UI-Size of the client (very small, small, normal, mole, blind person)

little eagle Mar 3, 2017, 12:38 PM

#

Probably. Ui is bad enough, the function probably doesn't account for it.

Might also depend on resolution. It also changes when you change resolution.

Anything else that might help out with performance ?

#

[1, 2, 3] call { 
    private _one = _this select 0; 
    private _two = _this select 1; 
    private _three = _this select 2; 
};

//0.0034 ms

 private ["_one", "_two", "_three"]; 
 _one = _this select 0; 
 _two = _this select 1; 
 _three = _this select 2; 
};

//0.0045 ms

#

High speed, Low drag

little eagle Mar 3, 2017, 2:18 PM

#

Eh, not by much.

#

It's worth it for the readability imo. Also params handles out of bounds, default values, type validation, passing single elements not in arrays.

That's where the benefit comes from mainly.

Why are you getting _slider but not using it? I had Problems myself with the sliderSetRange syntax you use. Try the other one where you use _slider
And I think you can get _display in _this in the onLoad event

Something like this?

#

_dialog = _this select 0;
 _slider = _dialog displayCtrl 80003;
sliderSetRange [_slider, 0, 10];
sliderSetPosition [_slider, 5];

#

Or this: ```SQF
_dialog = _this select 0;
_slider = _dialog displayCtrl 80003;
_slider sliderSetRange [1, 10];
sliderSetPosition [_slider, 5];

#

The following works: ```SQF
NEV_fnc_onLoad = {
_dialog = _this select 0;

_slider sliderSetRange [1, 10];
_slider sliderSetPosition 5;

Dialogs are displays

#

Anyway, closeDialog closes active dialog, closeDisplay can close any display, be it dialog or any other open display.

#

Closure doesn't happen instantly though, only on next simulation of the display, so if you have 2 dialogs, closing inactive one will simply set to to be closed as soon as it becomes active.

little eagle Mar 4, 2017, 8:59 AM

#

Sounds fun, I'll probably do that then.

velvet merlin Mar 4, 2017, 9:03 AM

#

any better suggestions that this get all houses of any terrain in a performance friendly way?

_terrainCenterPosition set [2,0];
_distance = worldSize;
_allHouses = nearestTerrainObjects [_terrainCenterPosition,["HOUSE"],_distance,false];```

thick oar Mar 4, 2017, 9:04 AM

#

centerPosition is not the center. it's just the default position for the editor window to start with. Well, pre-3den.

#

I.e Chernogorsk on Chernarus.

#

Calc the center using worldSize / 2?

velvet merlin Mar 4, 2017, 9:05 AM

#

yeah i know its not reliable. i guess your suggestion is the right one indeed

thick oar Mar 4, 2017, 9:06 AM

#

Also, the nearest* commands are all circles. so you have the problem of approximating the area of a square using only circles. Fun math to be had: the answer: you can't cover 100% without overlap ^^

velvet merlin Mar 4, 2017, 9:06 AM

#

this is why i keep worldSize and not 50%

#

its too much but i guess it should really matter

jade abyss Mar 4, 2017, 9:07 AM

#

QuickQ: Whats your plan with those Houses?

velvet merlin Mar 4, 2017, 9:07 AM

#

custom damage handling

jade abyss Mar 4, 2017, 9:07 AM

#

Setting a Var on those?

thick oar Mar 4, 2017, 9:07 AM

#

I used a system once to scan the entire map for specific objects, such as all lighthouses or chruches for landmarks.

velvet merlin Mar 4, 2017, 9:07 AM

#

setVar yes but more importantly handleDamage

thick oar Mar 4, 2017, 9:07 AM

#

Had to use the approximation method as a full worldSize coverage just broke the game.

#

In the end I settled for a precalced database and decided against runtime parsing.

velvet merlin Mar 4, 2017, 9:08 AM

#

well you still had to use the old nearest* commands, or already test with nearestTerrainObjects?

thick oar Mar 4, 2017, 9:08 AM

#

No, that was old school style NearestObject with empty array as filter 😄

jade abyss Mar 4, 2017, 9:09 AM

#

setVar with Island Objects could create some Probs (e.g.: Clients didn't received the Var, when the Building was too far away)

velvet merlin Mar 4, 2017, 9:09 AM

#

well terrain objects should be local to the server, no?

jade abyss Mar 4, 2017, 9:09 AM

#

NearestObjects with House_F Filter, or? (don't think there is an more "friendly" way)

thick oar Mar 4, 2017, 9:10 AM

#

Oh @little eagle : while you are already fixing the editor. Can we please have

_var ++; ?

velvet merlin Mar 4, 2017, 9:10 AM

#

its not class based filters Dscha

jade abyss Mar 4, 2017, 9:10 AM

#

Will the Vars be transmitted over the net?

#

meh, crap.

#

wait, pm

little eagle Mar 4, 2017, 9:10 AM

#

I don't think I can add stuff like ++ without access to the source code.

thick oar Mar 4, 2017, 9:11 AM

#

Once can dream...

little eagle Mar 4, 2017, 9:14 AM

#

But only once.

thick oar Mar 4, 2017, 9:15 AM

#

Saving it up for something really great.

little eagle Mar 4, 2017, 9:15 AM

#

A million more wishes please.

thick oar Mar 4, 2017, 9:15 AM

#

There's always a clause for that one.

pliant stream Mar 4, 2017, 10:12 AM

#

sure you can add new operators without source code but it's a bit trickier, probably rather fragile, and not necessarily in line with bis' preferences. probably not ++/-- though because of reasons

meager granite Mar 4, 2017, 10:14 AM

#

_dir = random 359;

little eagle Mar 4, 2017, 10:16 AM

#

What's wrong with [359-360[ degree?

pliant stream Mar 4, 2017, 10:21 AM

#

heh was about to comment on how your brackets were the wrong way around

little eagle Mar 4, 2017, 10:21 AM

#

Puh. Dunno why I always mix these up.

pliant stream Mar 4, 2017, 10:22 AM

#

also you should use a comma like so [359,360[ :p

little eagle Mar 4, 2017, 10:22 AM

#

What is this, math class?

pliant stream Mar 4, 2017, 10:22 AM

#

it is now

little eagle Mar 4, 2017, 10:23 AM

#

random 1
[0,1[

pliant stream Mar 4, 2017, 10:23 AM

#

personally i prefer the [0,1) notation though

little eagle Mar 4, 2017, 10:24 AM

#

I think that is what they taught me a long time ago, but all Physics books use [[

~~QuickQ: Was it possible to start an .rtm directly from Script?~~

little eagle Mar 4, 2017, 11:13 AM

#

Animation?

jade abyss Mar 4, 2017, 11:14 AM

#

nvm, doing it another way. No need for rtm stuff anymore.

little eagle Mar 4, 2017, 12:00 PM

#

I think it would be simpler to just remove the code validation of the normal init box

#

And obviously make it bigger...

@tough abyss Use the binary syntax of sliderSetPosition

CONTROL sliderSetPosition blah

tough abyss Mar 4, 2017, 1:26 PM

@little eagle I already do, look at the last post.

little eagle Mar 4, 2017, 1:26 PM

What's the problem then?

tough abyss Mar 4, 2017, 1:27 PM

Finding a more efficient way of doing it, if there is one.

little eagle Mar 4, 2017, 1:28 PM

I don't see what and how.

Hey, is there any way to limit a vehicle speed without using a loop/setvelocity combination?

Not rly, no.

no

hmm :/ should be a new feature command^^

little eagle Mar 4, 2017, 1:31 PM

Too bad no one knows how PhysX works.

jade abyss Mar 4, 2017, 1:32 PM

#

The fkn Uberhandbreak should be disabled first, before we anything else -.-
(Or at least get a command for it -.-)

little eagle Mar 4, 2017, 1:32 PM

#

Or fix flip tanks.

jade abyss Mar 4, 2017, 1:33 PM

or removing PhysX at all.

little eagle Mar 4, 2017, 1:33 PM

I approve.

jade abyss Mar 4, 2017, 1:33 PM

I mean... whats the sense of beeing able to push other Cars away, but have a 90% chance of blowing up, because the PosUpdate is "not so good" and it ends up with flying/exploding/glitching/mating Vehicles 😦

little eagle Mar 4, 2017, 1:35 PM

What's the point if you flip on head.

jade abyss Mar 4, 2017, 1:36 PM

The other could unflip you by punching you

Is it a placed Object?

Yep

I needed editor placed objects specifically, otherwise i'd just use nearObjects 😦

sucks to be you then 😄

(starting Arma atm)

austere granite Mar 4, 2017, 3:37 PM

I guess maybe doing array subtraction with nearestTerrainObjects could work... but it would also be nice if the command just worked 100% 😄

wich model is it (ifa, right?)

austere granite Mar 4, 2017, 3:37 PM

yea but the same thing applies to vanilla stuff

Was testing with the military cargo house ruins, same thing. Didn't actually try destroyed buildlings turned into ruins

Hey guys, I got a problem with spehres. I've placed bunch of them (as a spawnpoints) but some just randomly move themselfs. Always on the same spot. I cheked that theres nothing in their init and placement radius is 0. Has anyaone else had this probelm?

jade abyss Mar 4, 2017, 3:39 PM

Have you checked, if that particular object is in the allMissionObkject Array? @Adanteh#0761

Nope, haven't yet. Wasn't too important right now so kinda skipped past it

allMissionObjects ""

Yep, i knew it:

Place a intact Building -> cursorObject setDamage 1 -> allMissionObjects "ruins": [5c5beb00# 10: cargo_house_v2_ruins_f.p3d]
