good news is the extracion works

#

bad news is i cant find the vehicle name lol

#

@plush cargo is that by chance a boat push back script?

oh wow

plush cargo Mar 14, 2017, 2:20 AM

#

to find what side of the dock you're on and which direction to turn/push you

dry egret Mar 14, 2017, 2:20 AM

#

that looks good

plush cargo Mar 14, 2017, 2:20 AM

#

and so all the diff ships wind up the same distance from the dock

need a bit of help pulling out the name i need to finish this script

#

_Raider_1 = [];
_extractChopper_1 = [];

if (isServer) then {
    _Raider_1 = createGroup WEST;
    _extractChopper_1 = [getMarkerPos "extractionSpawn_1", 0, "B_Heli_Transport_03_F", _Raider_1] call BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle;


//Extraction Waypoints

    _wp = _Raider_1 addWaypoint [wp_POS, 0];
    _wp setWaypointType 'MOVE';
    _wp setWaypointSpeed "FULL";

    _wp1 = _Raider_1 addWaypoint [position ab1, 1];
    [_Raider_1, 2] waypointAttachVehicle vehicle ab1;
    _wp1 setWaypointType 'MOVE';
    _wp1 setWaypointSpeed "FULL";


};

later on in the script im using

_car = _extractChopper_1 select 0;

#

but its returing undefined

#

only returing undefined when its on the dedicated though

compact galleon Mar 14, 2017, 2:27 AM

#

@dry egret You assign it in an if (isServer) block, so it's only defined on the script running on the server. if you try to access it on a client, it'll be undefined. Make sure to use an if (isServer) check when you read it too

dry egret Mar 14, 2017, 2:28 AM

#

how do i pull out the name so that i can access it on client then

compact galleon Mar 14, 2017, 2:28 AM

#

If you need to access it from any machine, assign it to a global variable instead, then broadcast it to clients

#

if (isServer) then
{
    // Assign global variable a value on the server.
    GlobalVariable = 1337;

    // Broadcast "GlobalVariable"'s current value to all other machines.
    publicVariable "GlobalVariable";
}```

#

publicVariable will send the value to all other machines, and have them assign it to a global variable on their end also named GlobalVariable. You need to call that every time you change its value. It also handles joining players, so if you call publicVariable, and someone joins after that, they'll get the most recent broadcast value

dry egret Mar 14, 2017, 2:33 AM

_Raider_1 = [];
_extractChopper_1 = [];

if (isServer) then {
    _Raider_1 = createGroup WEST;
    _extractChopper_1 = [getMarkerPos "extractionSpawn_1", 0, "B_Heli_Transport_03_F", _Raider_1] call BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle;

    extractChopperGlobal = _extractChopper_1 select 0;
    publicVariable "extractChopperGlobal";

//Extraction Waypoints

    _wp = _Raider_1 addWaypoint [wp_POS, 0];
    _wp setWaypointType 'MOVE';
    _wp setWaypointSpeed "FULL";

    _wp1 = _Raider_1 addWaypoint [position ab1, 1];
    [_Raider_1, 2] waypointAttachVehicle vehicle ab1;
    _wp1 setWaypointType 'MOVE';
    _wp1 setWaypointSpeed "FULL";


};

_car = extractChopperGlobal;

like this

compact galleon Mar 14, 2017, 2:34 AM

#

yes. not sure what BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle returns, since I've never used it. But if it's an array with the first element being the chopper, then yes

dry egret Mar 14, 2017, 2:34 AM

yep thats what it does

#

the mission is does not support JIP < not a badass at arma scriping

@dry egret Here's an example where the server decides when enemies will arrive, and then informs all clients about it.
init.sqf (executed on all machines when the mission starts):

if (isServer) then
{
    // Decide a random time enemies will arrive at.
    TimeEnemiesWillArrive = 60 + random 300;
    
    // Tell clients which time was chosen.
    publicVariable "TimeEnemiesWillArrive";
}
else
{
    // Wait for the server to tell us at which time enemies will arrive.
    while { isNil "TimeEnemiesWillArrive" } do
    {
        sleep 0.1;
    };
};

// Executed on both server and clients.

hello, I had a quick question. I'm trying to pull an array of just rifles from the CfgWeapons. I've tried using CfgClasses in combo with InheritsFrom . But it always returns a blank array. Any ideas?

plush cargo Mar 14, 2017, 2:48 AM

#

(configFile >> "CfgWeapons" >> weaponClassname >> type)

#

primaries are 1

#

if (!isClass (_weap >> "LinkedItems")) then
{
if (count(getarray (_weap >> "magazines")) !=0 ) then
{

#

if no linked weapons is a base weapon(no attachments) no magazines will stop vehicle weapons from showing

subtle ore Mar 14, 2017, 2:49 AM

#

What about looking for a rifle base specifically?

#

what's weaponClassName pointing to exactly?

plush cargo Mar 14, 2017, 2:51 AM

#

thats the config location you need to get the weapons class name in there some how

subtle ore Mar 14, 2017, 2:52 AM

#

Jeez man, I don't know. I was hoping to streamline it a bit. I want to be able to find every config entry that is a rifle.

plush cargo Mar 14, 2017, 2:57 AM

#

figured that, was just giving you what to filter for when doing it

subtle ore Mar 14, 2017, 2:58 AM

#

You should be able to do that with configClasses . I'm just not sure as to why not. But I guess that works.

plush cargo Mar 14, 2017, 3:16 AM

#

you can give me a minute

#

 _baseRifles = "((configName (_x)) isKindof ['Rifle', configFile >> 'cfgWeapons']) &&  // is rifle
                (!isClass (_x >> 'LinkedItems')) && // does not have attached items
                (getnumber (_x>> 'scope') == 2)"  // is accessible
                configClasses (configFile >> "cfgWeapons"); 
 _weapNames = [];
 {
    _name = (getText( _x >> "displayName"));
    _weapNames pushBack _name;
 }forEach _baseRifles;
 hint format ["%1",_weapNames];

subtle ore Mar 14, 2017, 3:22 AM

#

I thought isKindOf only applied to vehicles, and such?

plush cargo Mar 14, 2017, 3:23 AM

#

anything with a parent cfg i guess

subtle ore Mar 14, 2017, 3:26 AM

I appreciate the guidance, I'm starting to get on track now. Thanks.

I fucking hate how they removed the delay from AI commanding

subtle ore Mar 14, 2017, 3:40 AM

#

huh?

compact galleon Mar 14, 2017, 3:40 AM

#

It was so awesome in previous arma games to yell "FIRE!" to your AI gunner, and then see him fire a missile

#

Now, he fires at the same time you start yelling FIRE, so it sounds like you're dictating what he's doing instead of commanding him

#

Especially with AT or AA units, you give them a target, and then when you yell FIRE, they fire before you barely start saying it, and the boom from the missiles firing are so loud you can barely even hear you say it

#

It's just so dissatisfying

subtle ore Mar 14, 2017, 3:44 AM

#

I would imagine so.

compact galleon Mar 14, 2017, 3:51 AM

It'll still delay if you select everyone, though.

killed eventhandler only runs on the machine, where the killed vehicle is local.

Why is Draw3D sets _this to "nothing" and since when it has been happening? 🤔

little eagle Mar 14, 2017, 9:34 AM

No parameters to pass in that eventhandler

#

Same for onEachFrame

#

Probably since draw3D exists.

meager granite Mar 14, 2017, 9:39 AM

Indeed, it does it even in Alpha 0.50

#

Never noticed it before

You never noticed that draw3d has no parameters?

Don't mix draw3D with drawIcon3D 😄

Literally string "nothing" gets passed as _this

setTriggerActivation takes only one string?

That's some troll level shit from draw3D

So not
_this = nil
but

Hey, what should Draw3D pass as arguments?

#

Nothing.

#

Alright.

meager granite Mar 14, 2017, 10:33 AM

#

yes, string of "nothing"

#

Oh wait, its not string, its nothing datatype

#

typeName _this => "NOTHING"
str _this => "nothing"

#

I wonder if this is the only place where you can get this data type

#

You can't compare it with ==

#

isEqualTo returns false

#

against itself, same variable even

jade abyss Mar 14, 2017, 10:45 AM

Arma ¯_(ツ)_/¯

little eagle Mar 14, 2017, 10:50 AM

I think that's the nil with data type pointing to void.

#

instead of GameValueNil

meager granite Mar 14, 2017, 10:52 AM

#

looks to be separate data type

#

anyway, very interesting oddity

little eagle Mar 14, 2017, 11:00 AM

#

isNil "_this"
should report true

little eagle Mar 14, 2017, 11:22 AM

#

Good.

meager granite Mar 14, 2017, 11:23 AM

#

nope, isNil returns false

Another value that was previously config only that can now be set by script:

        class UserActions {
            class Rope_show {
                displayName = "$STR_BWA3_Rope_show";
                onlyforplayer = 1;
                position = "rope_control";
                radius = 2;
                showWindow = 0;
                condition = "this animationPhase ""hide_rope"" > 0.5 and player == cameraOn";
                statement = "this animate [""hide_rope"", 0]; playSound3D [""A3\sounds_f\characters\stances\lift_handgun.wss"", objNull, false, AGLToASL (this modelToWorld (this selectionPosition ""rope_control"")), 0.50118721, 1, 20];";
            };

What about:
isNil {_this select 0};

#

?

#

Does anyone remember when Apex came out and Ace unconcious made characters ragdoll instaed of awkwardly flops into a static pose on the ground?

#

but way less interesting, immersive, or fun

#

best performance is vanilla

#

for the short time the bug was present I remember one guy getting knocked unconcious and falling off a balcony breaking his neck

#

it was fuckign incredible

#

inefficient code?

#

I know, basically I'm saying I want it back

#ragdollsMatter

#

It's also incredibly immersive to breach a building and get knocked on your back by a bullet

#

I wish it did that in vanilla

#

high enough caliber and Ace will do that too, I think if you adjust the damage coefficients

little eagle Mar 14, 2017, 7:08 PM

#

@tough abyss It's not a matter of efficiency. There was no other way before setUnconscious.

#

And it still is like this, because the ACE Medical rewrite isn't finished.

plucky beacon Mar 14, 2017, 7:09 PM

You forget that we make an addon and no mission. The mission can have respawn timers of any value.

So I'm guessing the rewrite will include this new feature or as an option?

It's being rewritten for over a year now.

No, it will always use the ragdoll effect. No option.

I would say I would help but I don't know what I'm doing xD

little eagle Mar 14, 2017, 7:12 PM

#

I don't even know what's missing at this point.

#

I did a whole lot of the low level internals, but that has been months.

#

I was pretty ... busy during last fall.

#

But not much happening since last summer anyway.

#

It's open source. It's just that there were that many scripters in milsim and now Arma 3 is old.

#

And Im still working on that CBA settings system.

plucky beacon Mar 14, 2017, 7:17 PM

#

Do you need some larger scale testing of the new ace medical?

little eagle Mar 14, 2017, 7:17 PM

#

It's weird. I wanted that to be simple and easy to use, but many people want all kinds of features and now the ui looks bloated to me.

plucky beacon Mar 14, 2017, 7:17 PM

#

The hardest part is to stop making features xD

little eagle Mar 14, 2017, 7:17 PM

#

Don't ask me, I'm not in the loop.

#

The hardest part is working yourself through the spaghetti code.

plucky beacon Mar 14, 2017, 7:20 PM

I'm trying to do better at commenting my work myself

plucky beacon Mar 14, 2017, 7:23 PM

the checkbox ruins the balance

#

put that at the bottom

#

it's actually a good question, what is the test checkbox for?

little eagle Mar 14, 2017, 7:24 PM

#

It's not a matter of order. I can add these settings dynamically

plucky beacon Mar 14, 2017, 7:24 PM

I think if you put enough spacing in between settings you could make it pretty long

little eagle Mar 14, 2017, 7:26 PM

#

I wonder if I could get rid of the checkmark / cross by colorising the "medium" or "high" in green or red.

#

Can you change the color of listboxes?

#

The color of the text I mean.

#

let's try I guess.

plucky beacon Mar 14, 2017, 7:27 PM

if you can change it in buttons you can probably change it in listboxes

little eagle Mar 14, 2017, 7:29 PM

hmm, I need to dynamically change this. What a pain in the ass.

vital onyx Mar 14, 2017, 7:31 PM

#

Question:
I can modify dialogs defined in dscription.ext using ctrlCreate, but if a dialog is defined in config class - it does not work (even if dialog from description.ext is 100% equal to the one from config)
Is there a property which should be defined in config for dialog class to create new controls for it?

plucky beacon Mar 14, 2017, 7:37 PM

#

I always use defines.hpp

#

and include it in description.ext

vital onyx Mar 14, 2017, 7:50 PM

#

yes, I do as well, but I want dynamic dialog and create controls with the script

plucky beacon Mar 14, 2017, 8:07 PM

#

dynamic diolags how so? you mean using ctrlsettext and stuff?

vital onyx Mar 14, 2017, 8:10 PM

#

no, using ctrlCreate

#

you make and empty dialog and fill it with control dynamically

plucky beacon Mar 14, 2017, 8:11 PM

#

oh I see

#

never mess with that so good luck

vital onyx Mar 14, 2017, 8:17 PM

#

ready figured it out, I need to wait till display inits, I was getting displayNull

plucky beacon Mar 14, 2017, 8:21 PM

#

ahh putting a good old waituntil

vital onyx Mar 14, 2017, 8:21 PM

#

no

#

I do not like waituntils :)

plucky beacon Mar 14, 2017, 8:21 PM

#

well what dafuqdidudo

vital onyx Mar 14, 2017, 8:22 PM

#

waitUntil may behave weirdly in unscheduled environment

plucky beacon Mar 14, 2017, 8:23 PM

#

oooh it's unscheduled

#

weirdly? I'm pretty sure it just fails

little eagle Mar 14, 2017, 8:58 PM

#

It errors out

plucky beacon Mar 14, 2017, 8:58 PM

#

Whenever I put a waituntil in a function it...

#

that

#

I guess that's the terminology

#

you can't suspend commands in a unscheduled?

#

That's what I thought

#

maybe I didn't use parenthesis

little eagle Mar 14, 2017, 9:00 PM

#

isNil {
    waitUntil {true};
    systemChat str 1;
};

#

this works apparently

#

isNil is to ensure unscheduled environment

#

That is not unscheduled environment necessarily

#

0 spawn {
    call {
        systemChat str canSuspend;
    };
};

#

true

#

0 spawn {
    isNil {
        systemChat str canSuspend;
    };
};

#

false

#

I guess waitUntil can be used in unscheduled without error as long as it reports true the first try.

#

Which means it does nothing in that case.

#

The script that runs from addAction is scheduled.

#

Maybe you're thinking of that

plucky beacon Mar 14, 2017, 9:05 PM

#

lol

little eagle Mar 14, 2017, 9:06 PM

#

isNil {
    waitUntil {random 2 < 1};
    systemChat str 1;
};

50% error

#

QS, the condition runs unscheduled and the action runs scheduled

#

just to fuck with ya

#

literally

#

KK uses isNil to enforce unscheduled environment in his new Utilities stuff.

#

So I guess it's official API now.

#

    isNil // visual bug workaround
    {
        _checkbox = [_functionDisplay, "RscCheckBox", ["","",0], [0.27,_nextItemY,_chkX,0.03], [1,1,1,1], [1,1,1,1], str _date, true, _ctrlGroup] call _fnc_addControl;
        _checkbox setVariable ["_date", _date];
        _checkbox ctrlSetEventHandler ["CheckedChanged", "

vital onyx Mar 14, 2017, 9:18 PM

#

Nice info @little eagle

#

instead of waitUntil {!(isNull _display)} I ended with storing display id in uiNamespace from onLoad event, and then call the required controls creation from the same onLoad EH attached to dialog or display

little eagle Mar 14, 2017, 9:24 PM

#

That is definitely the way to go since that works better with savegames and all that.

plucky beacon Mar 14, 2017, 9:26 PM

#

Oh that reminds me I figured out my problem with the mission failing even after resetting the mission.

#

When the timer was over it remotely executed to -2 (allplayers) to run the mission failure sequence. I looked at my other mission failure scripts and saw they all remotely executed to all machines (0) so basically the missions was repeatedly ending because the server itself didn't end the mission

#

silly me

vital onyx Mar 14, 2017, 10:01 PM

#

Another question, setting a "KeyDown" EH to a control, everything working fine besides one thing: I cannot override the KeyDown event, regardless wether EH code returns true or false - keyDown is not overridden as expetced

#

is not it supported for controls?

little eagle Mar 14, 2017, 10:09 PM

#

only display can have keyDown

vital onyx Mar 14, 2017, 10:09 PM

#

controls have to, and it works

#

dialog controls I mean

little eagle Mar 14, 2017, 10:10 PM

#

same thing

#

maybe overwrite only works for display

vital onyx Mar 14, 2017, 10:10 PM

#

seems so

little eagle Mar 14, 2017, 10:10 PM

#

kinda like how the return value of the config version of handleDamage is ignored

vital onyx Mar 14, 2017, 10:18 PM

#

weird, I am trying to limit the number of symbols user can enter to the editbox

#

any ideas?

little eagle Mar 14, 2017, 10:19 PM

#

just use ctrlSetText on the edit box and remove the last char if it was illegal

plucky beacon Mar 14, 2017, 10:19 PM

#

illegal

#

I think you mean deport

vital onyx Mar 14, 2017, 10:19 PM

#

not very beautiful of course, but seems no other options

little eagle Mar 14, 2017, 10:20 PM

#

It's very beautiful

vital onyx Mar 14, 2017, 10:20 PM

#

overriding keyDown event would be more neat but ok, gentlemen do not argue about personal preferences ;)

plucky beacon Mar 14, 2017, 10:20 PM

_

|==My joke ==>

^everyone's head

little eagle Mar 14, 2017, 10:22 PM

// keyDown
params ["_control"];

private _string = ctrlText _control;

if ((_string select [count _string - 1]) in ILLEGAL_CHARS) then {
    _control ctrlSetText (_string select [0, count _string - 2]);
};

#

beautiful and simple

vital onyx Mar 14, 2017, 10:23 PM

#

if ((count ctrlText _editbox) > 100) then
    {
            ...
        _editbox ctrlSetText (_text select [0,100]);
    }

#

yes, looks ok, thanks @little eagle

little eagle Mar 14, 2017, 10:24 PM

#

You can probably abuse ctrl + v though. Not sure.

vital onyx Mar 14, 2017, 10:24 PM

#

let me try

#

@little eagle o protect from ctrl + V just add keyUp event with same cleanup routine

#

works like a charm

#

just tested

little eagle Mar 14, 2017, 10:26 PM

#

// keyDown
params ["_control"];

_control ctrlSetText (ctrlText _control splitString "@/§%" joinString "");

vital onyx Mar 14, 2017, 10:26 PM

#

I do not need a filter

little eagle Mar 14, 2017, 10:26 PM

#

@/§% being the illegal chars in one string

vital onyx Mar 14, 2017, 10:27 PM

#

It is a feedback ingame form, user can put anything but limited to number of symbols

little eagle Mar 14, 2017, 10:27 PM

#

Oh, like only 100 characters

vital onyx Mar 14, 2017, 10:27 PM

#

it was just a test

#

300-400 should be enough

#

100 was for test

little eagle Mar 14, 2017, 10:28 PM

#

ctrlSetText on the edit box is the solution

vital onyx Mar 14, 2017, 10:28 PM

#

I guess for mission it is much better, that user suggests something ingame rather than go to forum, register login, find the right thread etc

#

@little eagle I ended up with it, thanks again

#

there is on one problem with it

#

count "Test" (english letters) returns 4
count "Тест" - russian letters, returns 8

#

so we should count not string directly, but do count toArray _string, then it works ok

little eagle Mar 14, 2017, 10:31 PM

#

kyrillic

vital onyx Mar 14, 2017, 10:31 PM

#

yeah

little eagle Mar 14, 2017, 10:31 PM

#

It's because of UTF8 or something

vital onyx Mar 14, 2017, 10:31 PM

#

toArray makes the trick

little eagle Mar 14, 2017, 10:32 PM

#

count "ä"
2

#

count "ß"
3

vital onyx Mar 14, 2017, 10:33 PM

#

"тест" select [0,2]
returns only first letter

#

crap

#

more work todo

plucky beacon Mar 14, 2017, 11:43 PM

#

For the first time since I started I can say that there are no current bugs in my projects. At least until I do testing with a larger group.

if you are go to function viewer and find that function, find out what _listing is trying to get

subtle ore Mar 15, 2017, 12:47 AM

Yes, okay. Will do.

if !(uiNamespace getVariable ["BIS_RscRespawnControlsSpectate_shown", false]) then { switch true do { case (_list == BIS_RscRespawnControlsMap_ctrlLocList): {_array = BIS_RscRespawnControls_positionDisabled}; case (_list == BIS_RscRespawnControlsMap_ctrlRoleList): {_array = BIS_RscRespawnControls_roleDisabled}; case (_list == BIS_RscRespawnControlsMap_ctrlComboLoadout): {_array = BIS_RscRespawnControls_loadoutDisabled}; };

not sure if this is intentional or not but using flagtexture
set it setFlagTexture '\ART\ART_Flags\Data\Flag_red_CO.paa';
but when retrieving with flagTexture the name comes back with no cap (art\art_flags\data\flag_red_co.paa)
the flags are in game magazines as well , sharing the same texture so when removing a flag from a pole I want to get the flags texture and use configclasses to find the right flag item and add to inventory
any ideas?

use either format or string addition.

_flag addAction [format ["<img image = '%1'/>", _texture],

thought i tried that dont think i had the quotes here '%1' was messing with it forever

Yep, Its easy to forget about these when formatting strings within strings using format

little eagle Mar 15, 2017, 10:10 AM

I just do:

_flag addAction [format ["<img image = %1/>", str _texture],

vital onyx Mar 15, 2017, 11:24 AM

afair setFlagTexture works only on server, not sure it will work via addAction

little eagle Mar 15, 2017, 11:25 AM

#

According to the wiki, setFlagTexture only works on the machine where the flag object is local, but has global effects.
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setFlagTexture

setFlagTexture

#

Since the code block of addAction is executed on the client that used the action and the flag as neutral map object is most likely local to the server, I'd say you need to use remoteExec if you want to get it to work in MP.

nocturne iron Mar 15, 2017, 12:14 PM

Hay daheck did you use in this video here? https://youtu.be/b1oi_jLnTMM to reset your curator on respawn bug xD

#

You know what a useful tool would be, some way of seeing players client fps to know who's suffering

#

because most people are usually fine but one guy gets the short straw and can't handle particles or something

thin pine Mar 15, 2017, 6:01 PM

#

Ya could run a script on each client broadcasting diag_fps to the server periodically. Then have the server send that data to the server admin/zeus that requires it.

plucky beacon Mar 15, 2017, 6:01 PM

#

that's what I was thinking

#

[] spawn {
   while {true} do
    {
        uiSleep 5;
        _fps = diag_fps;
        _fpsString = str _fps;
        [_fpsString] *remote exec something something to zeus that displays 3d text over the players head*
    }
}

little eagle Mar 15, 2017, 6:14 PM

#

just setVariable public the fps on the player object

#

Draw3D eventhandler on the zeus machine that iterates over allPlayers and reads the fps with getVariable

#

uiSleep is pointless in MP btw.

#

You cannot suspend the mission anyway

#

or slow down / speed up

#

for obvious reasons

plucky beacon Mar 15, 2017, 6:16 PM

#

rip slow motion missions

#

If someone is having framerate stuttering though would their simulation be running slower?

little eagle Mar 15, 2017, 6:17 PM

#

Yeah, but uiSleep would still be the same

#

uiSleep is exactly the same as sleep, but not affected by pausing the game

plucky beacon Mar 15, 2017, 6:18 PM

#

oh

#

hm

little eagle Mar 15, 2017, 6:18 PM

#

Since you cannot pause the game in MP (pressing esc let's it still run), it makes no difference.

#

The only thing you do by using uiSleep is confuse others and yourself and maybe imply things that aren't true.

plucky beacon Mar 15, 2017, 6:19 PM

#

should it set variable public before the loop?

#

or is it like "publicVariable"

little eagle Mar 15, 2017, 6:19 PM

#

makes no difference, except for the first 5 seconds of the mission I guess.

#

I just think that there is no reason to "remoteExec" anything.

#

It's 2 scripts supplying each other with information via setVar and getVar

#

One script to constantly update the fps and synch it with everyone else

plucky beacon Mar 15, 2017, 6:20 PM

#

just working with what I know, never used setvariable

little eagle Mar 15, 2017, 6:21 PM

#

And one to draw the values each render frame with whatever magic you choose.

plucky beacon Mar 15, 2017, 6:21 PM

What's the differance between remoteExec and remoteExecCall?

plucky beacon Mar 15, 2017, 6:32 PM

#

Call is for functions

#

bis_fnc_blahblah

tough abyss Mar 15, 2017, 6:34 PM

#

Hmm, alright. Thank you.

indigo snow Mar 15, 2017, 6:39 PM

#

It's more that remoteExec spawns in the scheduled environment, and remoteExecCall in the unscheduled.

#

So for executing a function like spawn where sleep etc is needed youd use remoteExec, and remoteExecCall for the other ones

little eagle Mar 15, 2017, 6:46 PM

#

remoteExecCall is pointless for commands and only really useful for functions.

That's my guess at least

little eagle Mar 15, 2017, 7:09 PM

#

draw3d and not eachframe to remove the stuttering

#

also, use one eachframe handler and that iterates over allPlayers

plucky beacon Mar 15, 2017, 7:11 PM

#

uhmm

#

okay

#

wouldn't that just be over the whole thing?

I think I follow now

I know it's missing the allPlayers, I'm reading back what you said

#

there

little eagle Mar 15, 2017, 7:22 PM

#

nah

#

the amount of allPlayers changes all the time in a MP session.

#

So just have one draw3d handler that iterates over the allPlayers

jade abyss Mar 15, 2017, 7:23 PM

#

btw. wasn't draw3D the better solution, instead of onEachFrame?

kk, missed then.

plucky beacon Mar 15, 2017, 7:25 PM

#

I guess I'm just unaware of how drawIcon3d works

#

I got mixed up between the each frame and draw3d so I was still thinking "wouldn't want to check allplayers on eahc frame, that'd be awful"

jade abyss Mar 15, 2017, 7:25 PM

#

btw. that might be easier to handle: (no stackedEH needed)

MyTag_MyName = addMissionEventHandler
["Draw3D",
    {
        hintsilent format["TickTime:\n%1",diag_TickTime];
    }
];```

To remove:
```sqf
removeMissionEventHandler ["Draw3D", MyTag_MyName];```

Don't mix draw3D and DrawIcon3D! They are not the same 😄

Yeah

Eden really is a dream

plucky beacon Mar 16, 2017, 5:10 AM

live edit

#

like a way to enable the simulation

compact galleon Mar 16, 2017, 5:11 AM

#

@plucky beacon The old 3D editor allowed you to preview, and then open the editor interface to spawn things, etc. then you could exit to reset and go back to the original mission

plucky beacon Mar 16, 2017, 5:13 AM

#

was this lik early eden editor?

compact galleon Mar 16, 2017, 5:13 AM

no

the sketch one

compact galleon Mar 16, 2017, 5:15 AM

#

Made a video tutorial for accessing it in ARMA 3 a few years ago https://youtu.be/7OEfR7N8L0g?t=14

#

in ARMA 2 it could be accessed by Alt+E from the menu, but that was removed in ARMA 3

nocturne iron Mar 16, 2017, 5:17 AM

#

I personally didn't use it much

#

Too much of a hassle except when you're making fine-detail templates

compact galleon Mar 16, 2017, 5:24 AM

#

well, what do you know.. it still works. and it's still there. and it's been improved since my tutorial 😛

#

http://i.imgur.com/1xNKOv8.png

#

actually, it's not been improved. quite the contrary. it doesn't work at all now, since spawning a center is broken

#

I guess they started working on it again, and then scrapped it altogether to create Eden

#

It had some nice things. Like instant preview, without having to wait for a loading screen

#

and god, the ability to switch between rotating and moving entities without having to let go of the mouse button first -.-'

#

I miss that so much from the 2D editor

#

😮

#

Same method works to load the old 2D editor 😄 It's still there too! http://i.imgur.com/UUoowye.png

plucky beacon Mar 16, 2017, 5:33 AM

#

well would ya look at that

compact galleon Mar 16, 2017, 5:33 AM

#

Its interface was much better

#

and a lot of the functionality too

#

Much less clunky than Eden

#

Despite it having its faults

#

The exit to editor button is broken now, though, so after each preview you have to restart the game

#

😦

#

oh, nevermind. killing yourself allows you to return

#

Like VR

nocturne iron Mar 16, 2017, 5:57 AM

I wish they could emulate the 2D editor in the eden 2D

@nocturne iron Well, you can switch to 2D by pressing M

but the functionality is the same as in 3D mode

celest wren Mar 16, 2017, 3:15 PM

#

Does anyone know if allDead returns curator logic entities (for dedicated zeus slots)?

little eagle Mar 16, 2017, 3:41 PM

#

Probably not

thin pine Mar 16, 2017, 3:44 PM

#

I dont think curator logics are dead entities. To retrieve the curators you'll probably need https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/allCurators

celest wren Mar 16, 2017, 3:53 PM

#

allCurators returns the curator modules though.

#

I'm trying to pinpoint the cause of a bug I've experienced in the past regarding BIS_fnc_createTask (so I can make a proper bug report) where dedicated curator units wouldn't get the task if the owner was set to "true"

#

And right now as far as I can tell, when the owner is set to true, it grabs a list as allUnits + allDead

#

Which seems to exclude the curator logic entities

little eagle Mar 16, 2017, 3:58 PM

#

Same thing

#

curator module = curator logic

#

same thing

celest wren Mar 16, 2017, 4:11 PM

#

Talking about "VirtualCurator_F", not "ModuleCurator_F"

#

with ModuleCurator_F being the curator module that allows any unit to enter the zeus interface (assuming that unit is assigned to a module)

#

VirtualCurator_F is the logic unit placed down when you intend to have a unit only access the zeus interface

#

which is then usually linked to a ModuleCurator_F

little eagle Mar 16, 2017, 4:34 PM

#

entities "VirtualCurator_F"

?

celest wren Mar 16, 2017, 4:35 PM

#

Yeah so that should work. Making the bug report now.

#

As it stands right now BIS_fnc_taskCreate doesn't include "VirtualCurator_F" in the list of playable units when using "true" as the owner

jade abyss Mar 16, 2017, 4:36 PM

#

bug report? oO

celest wren Mar 16, 2017, 4:36 PM

#

So when creating a task with "true" as the owner, units that are dedicated zeus slots will be skipped

#

Because it doesn't iterate through logic entities

#

Right now it just does this to check for player units

(allUnits + allDead) select {isPlayer _x}

little eagle Mar 16, 2017, 4:50 PM

#

So you basically can't assign tasks to dedicated zeus players via BIS_fnc_taskCreate.

celest wren Mar 16, 2017, 4:50 PM

#

Unless you explicitly tell it to use that object

#

So

true

doesn't work

#

But this does:

[true, zeus_unit]

Assuming the playable logic is named zeus_unit

#

Which runs into it's own issues if there's no zeus

little eagle Mar 16, 2017, 4:51 PM

#

The true option of BIS_fnc_taskCreate skips dedicated zeus players.

celest wren Mar 16, 2017, 4:51 PM

#

Correct

#

I'm not sure if that's intended behaviour or not

jade abyss Mar 16, 2017, 4:52 PM

#

Wich is okay, tbh.

little eagle Mar 16, 2017, 4:52 PM

#

No one ever thought about it, so there is no intention to be found.

jade abyss Mar 16, 2017, 4:52 PM

#

Not always is the Zeus stuff needed in allDead/AllDead.

celest wren Mar 16, 2017, 4:52 PM

#

RIght

jade abyss Mar 16, 2017, 4:53 PM

#

"probably" intended (i would say yeah)

celest wren Mar 16, 2017, 4:53 PM

#

Ideally the fix would be to update the function to iterate through "VirtualCurator_F" (along with it's side-specific subclasses) when using "true" as the parameter

#

I've made the bug report anyways with what i've figured out about it so far.

Characters Infantry units (default: 500m). Set to a reasonable distance, player should not see disabled infantry units.

Sounds like best for units in builldings or behind terrain.

plush cargo Mar 16, 2017, 6:54 PM

yeah

Infantry in the open is a problem. If it is disabled, player will see them from a distance frozen, not playing any ambient animations. Try to avoid it, especially if player has optics

you can set what wakes things up from disables simulation as well

@plush cargo You're not using controlGroup controls.

Needs CBA, but this way you don't need to ask every frame if the spectator thing is opened.

I hope RscSpectator is the correct one. It's idd 3000

    class RscDisplayEGSpectator {
        Nitro = "_this call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers 'initSpectatorDisplay.sqf'";

#

The other SQF thing is just a file you point to with this ^ config

that's what I had

How does Params work anyway?

little eagle Mar 16, 2017, 9:50 PM

There is no need for the waituntil {!isnull (_display)};, because it's guaranteed to exist.

but it only says german keyboard xD

    {
        ["Terminate"] call BIS_fnc_EGSpectator;
        (_display) displayRemoveEventHandler ["KeyDown", _exitHandler];

couldn't you also include in int he description.ext once?

#

or does that not work that way

No.

_display is undefined in the eventhandler script

luckily you can retrieve it from the passed arguments:

i meant just to test what key is what num

little eagle Mar 16, 2017, 9:58 PM

#

Nah, just use DIK_XX and if you don't know XX, then look it up here: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/DIK_KeyCodes

plucky beacon Mar 16, 2017, 9:58 PM

#

oooh

little eagle Mar 16, 2017, 9:58 PM

#

They are self explanatory most of the time

#

F-key = DIK_F

#

Tab key = DIK_TAB

#

etc,

plucky beacon Mar 16, 2017, 9:59 PM

Gotta love DIK keys

EG spectator display is findDisplay 60492

little eagle Mar 16, 2017, 11:55 PM

#

    private _hasMissionSQM = call {
        private _control = (findDisplay 0) ctrlCreate ["RscHTML", -1];
        _control htmlLoad "mission.sqm";
        private _return = ctrlHTMLLoaded _control;
        ctrlDelete _control;
        _return
    };

Anyone know a less shitty way to do this?

that's a thing?

tough abyss Mar 17, 2017, 12:06 AM

#

quick question: does anyone know why "set face" dont work with all faces? for example when i use: set face "williams" i just get the default face when loading the mission.......

#

i mean i use : this setface "williams"

dusk sage Mar 17, 2017, 12:11 AM

#

Would a simple loadFile work? @little eagle

little eagle Mar 17, 2017, 12:14 AM

#

loadFile does make an error pop up

plucky beacon Mar 17, 2017, 12:20 AM

#

is there a command to make a hint dissapear immediately

jade abyss Mar 17, 2017, 12:21 AM

#

hint "";

dusk sage Mar 17, 2017, 12:21 AM

^

plucky beacon Mar 17, 2017, 12:21 AM

#

huh I thought it would just bring up a box

jade abyss Mar 17, 2017, 12:21 AM

#

nope

little eagle Mar 17, 2017, 12:21 AM

#

@tough abyss Is it safe to use loadFile on machines without interface? Cant use dialogs / controls there, but pop ups don't exist either.

jade abyss Mar 17, 2017, 12:22 AM

#

I mean, if you want a box: hint str("");

plucky beacon Mar 17, 2017, 12:22 AM

aaah

I see

If the file does not exist, does it crash or something?

i tried this setface "williams"; ..... still default face?

I wonder what mods got upgraded yet

plush cargo Mar 17, 2017, 1:19 AM

I thought the map was display 12?

_map = findDisplay 12;
_map ctrlCreate ["RscTree", 2103];
_tree = ((findDisplay 12) displayCtrl (2103));
_lbposX = 0.765 * safezoneW + safezoneX;

@tough abyss setFace does not work from the init box directly. Try:

0 = this spawn {
    _this setFace "williams";
};

tough abyss Mar 17, 2017, 1:26 AM

weird it worked with Zee's female heads.

#

but thx i will try it

plucky beacon Mar 17, 2017, 1:50 AM

I like how egspectator is 60492

#

You can tell it's more recent invention

plucky beacon Mar 17, 2017, 2:13 AM

Lol

#

Like 60490 was taken

vapid frigate Mar 17, 2017, 4:00 AM

#

any known scripting changes that would cause a crash with this (since 1.68)?:

#

Exception code: C0000094 INT_DIVIDE_BY_ZERO at 026FC05C

plucky beacon Mar 17, 2017, 4:01 AM

#

sounds like something divided by zero

vapid frigate Mar 17, 2017, 4:02 AM

#

thanks 😛

#

1/0 doesn't crash arma usually

#

just gives a script error (same in 1.68)

plucky beacon Mar 17, 2017, 4:03 AM

#

Try it without dividing by 0

vapid frigate Mar 17, 2017, 4:03 AM

#

i don't know what is dividing by 0 is my issue

tough abyss Mar 17, 2017, 4:03 AM

#

@vapid frigate when does it happen? is it MP? as soon as you connect?

vapid frigate Mar 17, 2017, 4:04 AM

#

nah, it's in a custom script.. but it's a big one

#

so was hoping it was a known issue before i start eliminating stuff

tough abyss Mar 17, 2017, 4:04 AM

#

well

#

hint "hey this didnt error out" 😉

#

create break points within the script

vapid frigate Mar 17, 2017, 4:06 AM

#

yeh i know how to debug it, was just hoping i didn't have to

#

will report back when i work out what command's been broken

#

unless there's actually break points i don't know about?

Hint

vapid frigate Mar 17, 2017, 5:25 AM

#

narrowed it down to something to do with deleting ui controls

#

seems like this line crashing ctrlDelete ((findDisplay %1) displayCtrl 1261);

vital onyx Mar 17, 2017, 5:31 AM

#

Hi all,

is there a way to uniqly identify objects in player inventory, say some commands output weapon and magazine id

#

for example

currentMagazineDetail player
//"6.5 mm 30Rnd STANAG Mag(30/30)[id/cr:10000061/0]"
// pressing R to reload magazine, now output is
//"6.5 mm 30Rnd STANAG Mag(30/30)[id/cr:10000062/0]"

little eagle Mar 17, 2017, 5:43 AM

#

Weapons don't have id's. At least there is no way for us to read them.

vital onyx Mar 17, 2017, 5:45 AM

#

Syntax:
container weaponAccessoriesCargo [weaponId, creatorId]
Parameters:
container: Object - cargo container
[weaponId, creatorId]: Array
weaponId: Number
creatorId: Number
Return Value:
Array - [silencer, laserpointer/flashlight, optics, bipod]

#

I seen somewhere in one's command output, but could not find it

little eagle Mar 17, 2017, 5:47 AM

#

Weapons don't have id's. At least there is no way for us to read them.

vital onyx Mar 17, 2017, 5:48 AM

#

pity

#

I am afraid no way to script kind of unique items, maybe just like ot is done for radios in TFAR

#

tf_fadak_1 ... tf_fadak_1000

vapid frigate Mar 17, 2017, 5:53 AM

#

found the crash.. you can't delete a control from inside it's mousebuttondown(at least) event handler

plucky beacon Mar 17, 2017, 6:00 AM

#

Good job detective

#

Ya found the murderer

vapid frigate Mar 17, 2017, 6:06 AM

#

repro (worked in 1.66):

disableSerialization;
sleep 2; 
createDialog "RscDisplayCommon";
_dialog = findDisplay 999;  
_control = _dialog ctrlCreate ["RscButton", 420];
_control ctrlSetPosition [0,0,1,1];
_control ctrlSetText "CRASH";
_control ctrlCommit 0;
_control ctrlAddEventHandler ["MouseButtonDown", "ctrlDelete ((findDisplay 999) displayCtrl 420)"];
};```

little eagle Mar 17, 2017, 6:07 AM

#

Why would you do that?

vapid frigate Mar 17, 2017, 6:07 AM

#

close something when you click on it?

little eagle Mar 17, 2017, 6:08 AM

#

If you wan to close it, then close the display.

vapid frigate Mar 17, 2017, 6:08 AM

#

i don't want to close the display

#

just delete the control

little eagle Mar 17, 2017, 6:08 AM

#

Controls shouldn't be deleted when the display is still shown.

vapid frigate Mar 17, 2017, 6:09 AM

#

worked fine before 1.68 and in a lot of other circumstances where i'm doing it

#

just not in that event

little eagle Mar 17, 2017, 6:10 AM

#

Try with 32 bit exe, but I don't think it was good design to begin with.

vapid frigate Mar 17, 2017, 6:11 AM

#

it's basically working around the fact that you can't stack dialogs

#

so it creates/deletes controls on the 1 dialog instead

#

_control ctrlAddEventHandler ["MouseButtonDown", "[] spawn {ctrlDelete ((findDisplay 999) displayCtrl 420)}"];
is a workaround

#

if you shouldn't delete controls, there shouldn't be ctrlDelete 😃

little eagle Mar 17, 2017, 6:15 AM

#

The right way would be to create all your controls when you open the display

#

And then to ctrlShow false what should be hidden

#

And ctrlShow true what should be shown

#

ctrlEnable too etc.

vapid frigate Mar 17, 2017, 6:16 AM

#

that would be bad design in my case because i don't know how many controls there are till it's running

#

and it changes dynamically

#

ctrlCreate and ctrlDelete sort of changed the possibilities

little eagle Mar 17, 2017, 6:17 AM

#

that would be bad design in my case
Objectively wrong.

#

My ui didn't break with an update. 😃

vapid frigate Mar 17, 2017, 6:18 AM

#

touche

little eagle Mar 17, 2017, 6:18 AM

#

What you're doing the the equivalent of changing the size of an array while iterating through it.

#

Maybe that even is exactly why it crashes, who knows.

vapid frigate Mar 17, 2017, 6:20 AM

#

it only crashes 64 bit

#

just tested

#

it's a common thing in other languages (winforms, xaml, etc) to delete/create controls.. i don't see why it's bad design in arma

#

well other than the INT_DIVIDE_BY_ZERO

little eagle Mar 17, 2017, 6:23 AM

#

create them when the menu is opened (onLoad etc.) and then ctrlShow or ctrlEnable them.

vapid frigate Mar 17, 2017, 6:26 AM

#

would need hundreds of controls in my case that never get used

I hate how this server removes all the features that makes Discord better than IRC

vapid frigate Mar 17, 2017, 6:28 AM

#

it has custom dropdowns too

#

so 1 for each allowed item.. 10+ for each category where you can have multiple things

#

i did try the 'old' way before.. using built in combo boxes and such.. was too slow

little eagle Mar 17, 2017, 6:29 AM

#

All I'm saying is, that deleting a control from inside one of it's eventhandlers is bound to break at some point.

vapid frigate Mar 17, 2017, 6:29 AM

#

yep, that point is 64 bit 😃

little eagle Mar 17, 2017, 6:30 AM

#

Changing a lot of things and some of it very low level like 64 bit will expose a lot of these things.

#

oh wow. 7:30 am

#

Shows.

@vapid frigate How do you display logo and grey interlacing behind the character?

#

Object with texture behind I suppose?

vapid frigate Mar 17, 2017, 7:39 AM

#

yeh the background is about 10 of those flat plane objects (to make it big enough

meager granite Mar 17, 2017, 7:39 AM

#

Looking at that white border on bottom of the logo

vapid frigate Mar 17, 2017, 7:39 AM

#

logo is 1 in the center

#

it's 50-100m away

meager granite Mar 17, 2017, 7:39 AM

#

Yeah, I thought so

#

I did that in OA for character selection, had to spawn grid of warfare flag signs behind the character lol

The functionality was there since Arma 2 or maybe earlier
