@tough abyss again: We gave you the Examples above, how to do it.
little eagle
We haven't even started with wheel hitpoints yet and their physx integration with the wheels class.
You should know that every vehicle, even cars have technically 8 wheel hitoints...
bla bla bla
jade abyss
Or more
little eagle
It's overcomplicated and broken.
tough abyss
For each wheel?
little eagle
No, 8 per vehicle
little eagle
Oh and the depends entry! For helicopters with multiple engine hitpoints...
little eagle
Tracked vehicles use HitLTrack and HitRTrack
here is what should happen in Arma 4:
- scrap old system
- make a better one
jade abyss
Thats it (taken from one of my Cars)
class HitLFWheel;
class HitLF2Wheel;
class HitRFWheel;
class HitRF2Wheel;
So 8 is simply not true
There might be some Emptry Entrys from the baseClass, not nothing more.
little eagle
The other four are inherited from class Car
little eagle
They would
jade abyss
You can have 20-30-40 HitPoints
little eagle
They're only inactive, because they have no valid selection in the model
jade abyss
No, since there don't get dmg assigned, if there hitPoint won't be addressed
Exactly.
So they might be in the Cfg, but are not in use
little eagle
But I said technically they have 8.
jade abyss
technically can there be 1000 ๐
tough abyss
God no why.

Sure, and without getAllHitPointsDamages it would be difficult to tell which ones do stuff and which ones don't.

A script in 15 minutes? sleep 900; done!

Well that's dangerous, what if simulation is slowed? Then it'll be longer than 15 minutes
uiSleep 900; FTFY

but...
Looks more complicated ( == better, for most of the peeps)
_start = diag_TickTime;
waitUntil{ ((diag_TickTime - _start) >= (15 * 60))};```I don't think uiSleep does what you think it does, Penny.
jade abyss
It does
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/uiSleep
uiSleep is a sleep method to delay script execution where script time/simulation time is stopped. uiSleep is basically using the system time (uiTime more specifically) and not simulation time
little eagle
I don't think uiSleep is using the machines clock like diag_tickTime does.
jade abyss
uiSleep is basically using the system time (uiTime more specifically)

vergleichbar mit, aber nicht das selbe:

It just uses the simulation time without respecting time acceleration and simulation suspension (esc in SP, setAccTime)

Like diag_TickTime, iirc

The machine clock will still tick faster under heavy load.

^can confirm
still forum
Meaning UITime stops when game doesn't render. Like.. not having -noPause set in singelplayer and being tabbed out. But the whole engine stops at that point so.... yeah
diag_ticktime still works with the game paused. Essentially using elapsed systemTime since first time someone called getTickTime in the engine
native hemlock
Nice info, thanks
little eagle
simuation time (sleep) != ui time (uiSleep) != clock / tick time (diag_tickTime)
Obviously uiSleep is also serialized in savegames, which wouldn't work if it were the same as diag_tickTime
wiki wrong again

KK made that page in 2015, so maybe he has learned since then, or you can educate him ๐
turbid thunder
I'd like to be educated in a good method of silencing footsteps via scripts as opposed to my switchmove spam and animcoef at 0.2
little eagle
It's so easy and rational to see the dichotomy: sleep + time vs. uiSleep. Clearly diag_tickTime is for uiSleep what time is for sleep. Problem is that it isn 't true.
You cannot silence footsteps with scripts.
turbid thunder
SwitchMove spam it is
queen cargo
the "cost" is not existing
there is no cost when spawning
you just add something to the scheduler
and it will be executed
peak plover
spawn and a loop
peak plover
a thousand?
queen cargo
spawning that however will take a noticable ammount of time longer
peak plover
But I have to spawn it, it's a loop with sleep
peak plover
otherwise it's checking every frame :S
queen cargo
???
let me start different
what do you want to archive
as it looks to me that you did some mistake on the way to it
a building search spawned is fine
with sleep it is not as it will suspend the finalization even further
best practise for whole map building search: do it in the very begining serverside
best practise for partial map building search: depending on size, do it direct or suspended
the later however will require some "framework" as you usualy want to do somethign with those buildings
loud python
Sorry to interrupt a conversation, but wasn't there a nice way to automatically have something executed in an infinite loop with automatic sleep?
peak plover
That's actually a really good point for the building search
queen cargo
FSM script @peak plover if it is AI behaviour
loud python
nevermind, that was waitUntil, and it was a different thing

Soo fsm is faster than normal checks and loops ? I've had bad experience using ai mods

it is a state machine
if correctly used, it will be faster

@peak plover using spawn is fine.
just make sure the script is exiting once the AI group or whatever doesn't need it anymore
peak plover
Ok thanks
I guess I'll look into FSM later, as it might provide really cool things
Have you had any noticable performance drops or issues when running more than 5 instances of a ai building search script at the same time ?
Ok, would about 100 cause issues?
Actually I'll make this and then I'll change according to the results I gather
Not today, but maybe one day
My dream is to clear out all buildings by 2020
dusk sage
It would depend how long the searching takes
If it's going to take a second to run, and you have 100 instances, they'll start to bottleneck

I think its to be understood as a flow of things, where one state can have various things that can happen based on current conditions, which then lead to other states. Atleast thats what those graphs make it seem like
plucky beacon
how does it work from a scripting perspective
still forum
What do you mean by scripting perspective? ^^
turbid thunder
FSM's are just that: States with conditions leading to other actions resulting in being in another state. Every condition has a priority assigned so when multiple conditions are met, the one with the highest priority will be activated, leading to an action (script command like you are used to) which leads to another state with different conditions. Atleast that's how I understood it (Doesnt mean I can explain it). Oh also, FSM's are done in the editor you saw in the screenshot above.

Hello, any help appreciated as this is not my specialty.
Trying to create a script that sets variable name of specific object (Land_Cargo10_yellow_F). Needs to name the object box1 or something similar.
tough moth
@tough abyss The trick is, it has to reference the classname of the object, then apply variable name.
tough abyss
@tough moth so ```sqf
_object = "Land_Cargo10_yellow_F" createVehicle pos;
_object setVariable["box1", nil];
The scenario is: box gets spawned, needs to be named

Thanks! I'll give that a try.

@tough abyss hm. you could do a scope filter too but i think the problem is that you want to go against the nature of simpleObject, right? it being just a model, which just can be used by several classes. nothing you can do there i think.
only reverse as in defining it when you create the simple object
little eagle
typeOf works if you used the classname syntax instead of the model path syntax of createSimpleObject
Otherwise there is no way to distinguish between two CfgVehicles classes that use the same model
@tough abyss ^
All entries in the list you generated are equally valid.
If you generate the simple object by using getText on the "model" entry on a classname, you could just store the original classname on the simple object using setVariable public, but you might as well just use createSimpleObject classname at that point. Which is preferred for some reason according to the wiki, because:
Objects created with Syntax 2 can be textured. The default direction should match the direction of the object if it was created with createVehicle.
Since Arma 3 v1.67 simple objects support setVariable and getVariable
What does not work on simple objects is the type filter of nearestObjects etc. They are always filtered out if the filter wasn't [].
select {typeOf _x == "blah"
is the slow work around
little eagle
entities "" select {isSimpleObject _x}
The biggest thing I've seen not working is simple objects and AI
little eagle
That's the point.
wait
aww, I didn't save my repro
oh, there it is
_type = "Building";
_pos = [1000, 1000, 0];
_obj = createSimpleObject [_type, AGLToASL _pos];
systemChat str nearestObjects [_pos, [_type], 1];
systemChat str nearestObjects [_pos, [], 1];
systemChat str(nearestObjects [_pos, [], 1] select {typeOf _x == _type});
first doesn't show
second shows it
third shows it (and would filter out unwanted objects at that position)
creating a simple object with the Building base class
This isn't normal usage?
Well, name a different classname
B_MBT_01_F
ok
Land_Crane_F
Ok, radius 100 and Land_Crane_F
same result
_type = "Land_Crane_F";
_pos = [1000, 1000, 0];
_obj = createSimpleObject [_type, AGLToASL _pos];
systemChat str nearestObjects [_pos, [_type], 100];
systemChat str nearestObjects [_pos, [], 100];
systemChat str(nearestObjects [_pos, [], 100] select {typeOf _x == _type});
first one shows nothing
second one shows my "Building" + the crane
third one shows only the crane
systemChat str nearestObjects [[1000, 1000, 0], ["Building"], 100];
Same mission, still empty
Doesn't work.
halcyon crypt
ah yet another count abuser ๐
little eagle
QS, that code doesn't show the crane created next to me.
To make sure I used it right, I removed the "Building" in the filter and it showed a white ring
readded the filter: ring disappeared
Conclsion:
A type filter removes all simple objects from the array, even if typeOf would be right
Now the question is: would isKindOf work?
onEachFrame {
{
drawIcon3D [
"\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\Radar\radar_ca.paa",
[1,1,1,1],
position _x,
1,
1,
45,
"",
1,
0.05,
"TahomaB"
];
} count (nearestObjects [(position player), [], 100] select {_x isKindOf "Building"});
};
testing this ^
select {_x isKindOf "Building"}
works
typeOf works, isKindOf works, filter in nearestObjects: broken

Btw, I used the classname syntax and not the model path syntax and the crane automatically was placed on the ground and not inside it.
So I guess that syntax respects the SimpleObject class stuff automatically.

Any reason why you use the model syntax and not the classname syntax?

Spawning something from a script doesn't get you kicked.
Calling activateAddons with an optional PBO just causes people that don't have that PBO to be unable to play the mission

thick ridge
it seems like there might be some variables that could be used in the sound confg. e.g I see examples where the cfg volumn is setup to be "db+0". Wonder if there are other variables.
thick ridge
I've used say3d before, but it seems like the volume stays the same regardless of how far away you are.
plucky beacon
it is kinda finniky i know
thick ridge
and then just cuts out if you're beyond the specified distance
just thinking of ways to make some simple sounds for the trains
was thinking of just having the general track sound get louder/softer based on the speed and distance to train
polar folio
great idea

playsound3d then

say3d should get quieter with distance. maybe your sound config settings where wrong

No, writing documentation :/
turbid thunder
Unless its documentation about possibilities to use functions from a mod
Yes
I didnt learn how to add custom ace actions by reverse engineering ace
Or to check and set radio frequencies via scripts in TFAR
No learning = no knowing
The process of gaining knowledge is called learning
Patch notes arent a waste of time though
Also the patch notes do not include the keybind
You can also tell people 1000x to not throw grenades at base
Yes, people still do the "G is not freaking gear" mistake
Its an unsubtle attempt at killing everyone
Literally
When everyone is at one arsenal box and someone throws a nade cuz they are too lazy to rebind
I did it much simpler
digital pulsar
have you tried tutorials, quik
exactly; show, dont say
its an interactive medium
turbid thunder
If you throw a nade inside the "Dont throw grenades" zone, it would just delete the grenade and it would show a hint message with the player who messed up
digital pulsar
create a pop up dialog "are you sure you want to throw it" every time they press G ๐
turbid thunder
The danger is instantly removed and the person messing up gets instant karma'd
@digital pulsar they'd mistake yes for no
Though the hint message is already the nerfed version of the script
turbid thunder

same as this pretty much
except it handles the vectors for you
Array - array of intersections in format: [[selection, distance],...], where
selection - name of intersected selection
distance - distance from begPos
The results are also sorted, closest selection first ```the main issue with doors is that it allows you to open one that you are not looking at
based on distance i guess

https://pastebin.com/uva6RFta
jade abyss
Look at the Description of Animate and AnimateSource
It is recommended that animateSource command is used instead of animate whenever is possible, as it is more efficient and optimized for MP
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/animateSource
vague hull
https://pastebin.com/Pm0ZTjDf for detection
jade abyss
Way to complicated
vague hull
works fine for me yet is abit unmodular
jade abyss
_ObjData = ([_CTarget,'GEOM'] intersect [(asltoagl (eyepos player)),(screenToWorld [0.5,0.5])]) select 0;
_Target = _ObjData select 0;
_Target = "Door_1" for example
If the Model has standard Naming (wich it SHOULD HAVE) -> You just need to add the _Blabla_Source to it
systemchat the _Target data
and then might check in the Config, what the source name of the Animation is,
It CAN be door_1, it also can be something else
"small cargo post" <- Pic
And you wanna know the Hatches? (doors are working, i just did that yesterday)
polar folio
it can also be good to look for intersection in the fire geometry lod additionally. sadly even BI models are pretty inconsistent. so some glass doors work some don't. since different modellers seem to have followed different standards
jade abyss
stupid hatches, when they are open, you can't properly aim for them... hm.... i got an idea.
polar folio
btw, about those hatches. i noticed when i had to update my door code that they now insta open. that's the animation range isn't it? there's probably a way to get that part too i'm guessing
might be because screentoworld is used. positionCameraToWorld is better for these things
jade abyss
Got an idea, how to fix that Quik
polar folio
i use this
_range = 1.55;
if (cameraView == "External") then
{
_range = _range + ((positioncameratoworld [0,0,0]) distance (player modeltoworld(player selectionposition "head")));
};
_posa = positionCameraToWorld [0,0,0];
_posb = positionCameraToWorld [0,0,_range];
_int = ([_obj, "GEOM"] intersect [_posa, _posb]) select 0 select 0;
pretty old code. might be some dumb stuff. but works great in 1st and 3rd person
this has been done for ages. i wish BIS would jump on the hype train. no idea why they are stubborn about doors being done with a scroll list. it's mind boggling
i'd sign that. you also got the order of priority right imho
although some might care more about repack than blockign out annoyingly loud choppers ๐

statement = "([this, 'Hatch_1_rot'] call BIS_fnc_HatchClose)";
Lets see.
HatchOpen.sqf
_null = _this spawn
{
_count = (_this select 0) animationPhase (_this select 1);
_stepDif = 0.08;
// open the hatch with decreasing speed
while {_count < 1} do
{
(_this select 0) animate [(_this select 1), _count];
sleep 0.04;
_count = _count + _stepDif;
_stepDif = _stepDif - 0.0016;
// Prevent _stepDif from becoming too small so the hatch would never fully open
if (_stepDif < 0.01) then
{
_stepDif = 0.01;
};
};
(_this select 0) animate [(_this select 1), 1];
};```wow
Who's idea was that?!
sleep 0.04;```
why? *cry*that's like, what, 20FPS or something

So, long story short -> No chance for animate the hatches, without beeing extremely hacky

Although if the target is 30 why animate at 20 fps the hatches?! I think its possible to get that fixed.

Of course, just add set the animPeriod time higher. Done.

I heard it in an official BI presentation early last year from a BI dev

But on most systems 30 fps Arma is just realistic. Even if they moved that limit to 60fps it would probably just cause systems to not get enough processing time because the engine is trying to reach an unreachable fps target

Sure, #include etc are preprocessor commands which are executed when reading in the scripts. So he will try to include all files, and he does not care about the sqf code

Any way to avoid that?
barren magnet
What you want to do is to include different files based on if they exist or not. But that needs to be done in another way

I have no idea, i never had the need to inlude a file only if it exist. Make it easy and make sure that is exist anyway. You are using a mod called NEV_Addons? then make sure its packed inside

If the settings.hpp file is just setting variables then you may be able to just do call compile preprocessfile @tough abyss
But generally the way you are doing it is a security risk. People could put any script they want in there and could execute that on a server that requires bisigns
tough abyss
Basically: When a user downloads a mod which uses some sort of userconfig for settings from the workshop, there no way for the mod auther to have their userconfig setting placed in the right place automatically. Therefore, I try to check if the user has the needed settings file in their userconfig, if he does - great, let the mod use it. If he doesn't have the settings file, I fallback to the default one, located within the download workshopp mod.

Give me example content of the settings.hpp file please. Just a few lines

// The max distance from the player groups will be spawned at

// The min distance from the player groups will be spawn at

just use call compile preprocessfile
But be aware that any user could put any script they want into your userconfig file and get it executed

Is more secure if the the contents of settings.hpp are used in a script, which is executed by a dialog button, and the dialog is opened by an addAction which is only added to an admin or an SP player?

It is kinda more secure but not really.
Most secure and easy way would probably be to store the variables as an array and parse it using parseSimpleArray instead of the whole file just being executed.

There is no secure way if you #include them or call compile them.
Always a way to abuse the system.

In waitUntil it doesn't leave the scope, but still ends the iteration and the return value of the code block can be used as substitude of the one of waitUntil. Because fuck consistency.

I think you can on the one hand go overboard using exitWith, especially when you introduce more exit points in your functions (complicated code), but on the other hand, you can save some indentations with it.

I'm so silly and tired it hurts. Attempted to use getCursorObjectParams then I realized http://i.imgur.com/k7MqfDn.png wrong branch

What's the use case of getCursorObjectParams ? Outside of debugging.
turbid thunder
Getting the geometry LOD for the new addAction optional selection thingy

So debugging.

otherwise 90% of Arma would consist of Macros who lead to other Macros, within a Macro

Macroception basically?

Arma open source when ๐ฆ

Dream = Shattered
Open source arma would be pretty neat though
Am I the only one thinking it's weird that so far, there is no scripting possibility to change the height of a waypoint?
Every waypoint related command places it on the ground, pos 2D. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM, except "move"
little eagle
setWaypointPosition ignores z ?
turbid thunder
yes ๐ฆ
little eagle
idk if waypoints even work in 3d. That would only make sense for helis, no?
turbid thunder
You can make the AI go to the upper floors
It can also define the diving depth
Helis and jets don't care about the WP height (they only care for distance2D) but they also have flyInHeight commands
So far only the "move" command placed the waypoint in the correct Z value resulting in the AI being able to go upstairs on the exact level and pos I was on
jade abyss
Waypoints are only 2D
