no

ah ok
hollow lantern
its just need to be setDamaged
vapid frigate
yeh global variable is easiest.. but still not so easy if you want multiple
hollow lantern
and I'm not sure, the function can run multiple times to create more units on different positions. Not sure if this will still work if the variable is global?
vapid frigate
is this for that same hitpart thing?
hollow lantern
yes
vapid frigate
_obj setVariable ["other_object", _otherObject];
then in your event
_object getVariable "other_object";
hollow lantern
hmm not sure if I can setDamage on a variable
vapid frigate
you can.. what else would you use it on?
what i said above should work
_obj setVariable ["AEB_unitToKill", _unit];
_unit = _object getVariable ["AEB_unitToKill", objNull];
hollow lantern
yes thanks that worked indeed.

i don't think using _availableHeadgear / _availableGoggles as an array, and then a classname for the chosen headgear/goggles is the best idea

Is iniDB still de facto standard for having database on your server in A3?
scarlet spoke
Well I know that there is also extDB for that prupose...
And it doesn't really matter what the standard is as it will run in the background and noone will care about it as long as it works ^^

Yeah, I just would like to have as tested / reliable platform as possible ๐

Hey guys i am trying to write a script that reads possitional information from objects placed trough the map editor and than uses that information to create the same objects in the same possition. However my objects are badly displaced. I have a SP mission with init.sqf will anyone be able to help me out if i paste it here?
warm gorge
Im happy to help too
warm gorge
You able to send a pastebin of the individual script please?
earnest path
warm gorge
Alright hold up a few minutes, having a look now
scarlet spoke
Try using the alternative syntax of createVehicle with the CAN_COLLIDE option. That should keep ArmA from changing the position of the object
@earnest path
earnest path
I did try it didnt work but i will give it a go again.
scarlet spoke
Are you sure you need modelToWorld for getting the position?
warm gorge
Yeah I was gonna say
earnest path
Its tables and chairs in a building so i need to get the offset from the centre of the object. The aim of this task will be that i can furnish all buildings of type X with that setup without editing the map.
scarlet spoke
So is "Land_MilOffices_V1_F" a furniture?
warm gorge
No thats a building on the map
scarlet spoke
Then you aren't creating any furniture at all as far as I can tell...
warm gorge
Im about to open the mission to give it a test
earnest path
What i am doing is i am using the Eden editor to place furniture in that "Land_MilOffices_V1_F" building. Than i am getting the relative coordinates of each of the furniture objects and tryng to place new furniture objects overlapping the original once. If they overlap one to one i can use the array of data to populate any building of that type with the same furniture but i cant get it to overlap one to one.
scarlet spoke
So how big is the placement offset?
Like a few mm or rather on the other side of the map?
earnest path
The furniture is within the building but its all over the place.
warm gorge
I see what you mean with the positions being way off. let me have a play around with the script, stay here
earnest path
@warm gorge and @scarlet spoke thanks for spending time on it appretiate it! ๐
scarlet spoke
Have you tried to reduce the problem to a single object instead of iterating through multiple ones? Like just use an object of reference and one furniture object that should be recreated?
earnest path
I have but it should not matter. If the model to world and world to model are consistent in their result than it should work. I have checked that they work with ATL coords so i am just lost . I tried a lot of different itterations before i ask questions here ๐
scarlet spoke
Well if it works in a small example then you messed up somewhere in your script otherwise the approach is the wrong one
Do it on one simple object and then start to build up on that
earnest path
I also tried to use attachTo but it does not seem to work with buildings. Thats why i even spawned a secondary building on top of the map default building but attachTo does not work on custom spawned buildings too.
scarlet spoke
attachTo is not what you want in that case... Not really at least
earnest path
@warm gorge Magician ๐ how did you achieve this

Hey, not sure if this is related to my scripting, but I am currently getting a crash with error STATUS_INTEGER_DIVIDE_BY_ZERO.

hollow lantern
can someone explain for me the usage of EH on dedicated servers? I tried to but its not working on my dedicated. What I tried is this:
if (isDedicated) then {
_obj addMPEventHandler ["MPHit", {
_object = _this select 0 select 0;
_hits = _object getVariable "hitTimes";
_unit = _object getVariable ["KI_unitToKill", objNull];
_light = _object getVariable ["KI_vehToRemove", objNull];
if(isNil "_hits") exitWith { _object setVariable ["hitTimes", 1]; };
if(_hits == 1 && alive _object) exitWith {
for "_i" from 1 to 2 do {
createVehicle ["Bo_GBU12_LGB",[(getPos _object select 0)+ (_i*cos (_i*17.5)),(getPos _object select 1)+ (_i*sin (_i*17.5)),0],[],0,"CAN_COLLIDE"];
_object setDamage 1;
_unit setDamage 1;
deleteVehicle _light;
};
_object setVariable ["hitTimes", 0];
};
_object setVariable ["hitTimes", (_hits + 1)];
}];
};```
if (!isDedicated) then {
_obj addEventHandler ["HitPart", {
_object = _this select 0 select 0;
_hits = _object getVariable "hitTimes";
_unit = _object getVariable ["KI_unitToKill", objNull];
_light = _object getVariable ["KI_vehToRemove", objNull];
if(isNil "_hits") exitWith { _object setVariable ["hitTimes", 1]; };
if(_hits == 1 && alive _object) exitWith {
for "_i" from 1 to 2 do {
createVehicle ["Bo_GBU12_LGB",[(getPos _object select 0)+ (_i*cos (_i*17.5)),(getPos _object select 1)+ (_i*sin (_i*17.5)),0],[],0,"CAN_COLLIDE"];
_object setDamage 1;
_unit setDamage 1;
deleteVehicle _light;
};
_object setVariable ["hitTimes", 0];
};
_object setVariable ["hitTimes", (_hits + 1)];
}];
};``` I tried HitPart on "Singleplayer" as it is available via ``addEventHandler``. But thats not available on ``addMPEventhandler`` so I took Hit. I just want an explosion to be triggered when an Object (in this case a fridge) gets hit two times and that works in "Singleplayer" but not on a dedicated Server. I want to admit that I created the Fridge Object using ``SERVER EXEC``also tried via GLOBAL EXEC same result
tardy pagoda
So I am trying to make a condition true by putting this in the condition box of an object: phasep isEqualto 1; this does not activate the object so is there another way to remotely set a condition to true?
little eagle
@hollow lantern Hit (and MPHit) only fires on the shooters machine, so unless AI owned by the dedicated server is doing the shooting, the eh will never fire.
This includes MPHit, because the way these MP eventhandlers work is, that they transfer their code across the network should the event happen on whatever local machine the event happens.
So not added on shooter machine == doesn't trigger
@tardy pagoda I don't understand this question. Makes no sense to me.
tardy pagoda
so in the arma 3 eden editor if you click on any object the condition will be true. I have a variable called phasep and i want the condition to turn to true only when the value of phasep is equal to 1. ive tried putting in phasep == 1 and phasep isequalto 1 but both dont work
little eagle
When do you plan to set phasep to 1?
hollow lantern
@little eagle Well the only one who is firing on the fridge are normal players but the explosion should occur for everyone globally. So if player A shoots at the fridge twice everyone should see the explosion
and thus everyone gets damage when in range of the blast
little eagle
Shouldn't be aproblem since all commands you use have global effects.
createVehicle, setDamage, deleteVehicle.
little eagle
The event will not fire on a dedicated server unless the shooting AI was owned by the server.
Because hit event only fires on the machine of the shooter.
hollow lantern
why shooting AI? The one who is shooting is no AI, its a PLAYER. The object is just getting hit and when it got hit two times the EH creates a bomb on the objects position to create an explosion
object is a fridge btw no AI ^^
little eagle
Then you have to add the eventhandler on the players machine for the event to fire.
tardy pagoda
on a triggers activation it does phasep = phasep + 1; i tested the value of phasep with an if then statement if (phasep == 1) then
{
hint "You are the leader of your group."};
little eagle
Object doesn't matter, shooter matter for HitPart eventhandler
While you can add "HitPart" handler to a remote unit, the respectful addEventHandler command must be executed on the shooter's PC and will only fire on shooter's PC as well.
@tardy pagoda
The condition field of a trigger is evaluated twice a second (roughly). The condition field of an object is evaluated once at the init phase of the mission.
So if the condition of the object "presence" is false at mission start, the object is not part of the mission.
little eagle
You're supposed to enter stuff like random 2 > 1 or maybe global variables you define in preInit.
tardy pagoda
thanks for answering my question ๐
little eagle
yw
@hollow lantern I think it would be best if you add that eventhandler on every machine.
Do not use isDedicated (ever) and do not use MP eventhandlers either (ever).
hollow lantern
okay is there a general idea on how to archieve this? I mean there is a initPlayerLocal.sqf but I think I can't tell the EH to run like I would put the EH there?
little eagle
Add an eventhandler on every machine? init.sqf I guess.
hollow lantern
but then I need to exclude to EH from my script thats not what I want is there rly no other way?
little eagle
but then I need to exclude to EH from my script
?
hollow lantern
jade abyss
What is he trying to achieve?
hollow lantern
EH that works on dedicated server for every player
jade abyss
Why?
little eagle
Ah I see what the problem is.
hollow lantern
so that if someone shoots at a object (firdge) it will explode
little eagle
Let me explain.
hollow lantern
ok
little eagle
You're creating an object on one machine (server), because createVehicle obviously has global effects.
And then you add an eventhandler to that object, but unfortunately the one you use has to be added on every machine, because anyone can shoot the fridge and the event you use only fires on the shooters machine.
jade abyss
another q: Why that _i*sing (_i * 17.5) etc?
little eagle
// init.sqf
["Fridge_01_closed_F", "Hit", {
...
}] call CBA_fnc_addClassEventHandler;
^ this is what you should use
hollow lantern
uuuh nice thanks
little eagle
Hit doesn't trigger at all for me on this class, probably because it has damage disabled.
hollow lantern
hmm true but idk why it works in singleplayer on it
hollow lantern
well yeah the solution with CBA_fnc_addClassEventHandler; seems not to work, true. but my handler used in the script sqf _obj addEventHandler ["Hit", { _object = _this select 0 select 0; _hits = _object getVariable "hitTimes"; _unit = _object getVariable ["KI_unitToKill", objNull]; _light = _object getVariable ["KI_vehToRemove", objNull]; if(isNil "_hits") exitWith { _object setVariable ["hitTimes", 1]; }; if(_hits == 1 && alive _object) exitWith { for "_i" from 1 to 2 do { createVehicle ["Bo_GBU12_LGB",[(getPos _object select 0)+ (_i*cos (_i*17.5)),(getPos _object select 1)+ (_i*sin (_i*17.5)),0],[],0,"CAN_COLLIDE"]; _object setDamage 1; _unit setDamage 1; deleteVehicle _light; }; _object setVariable ["hitTimes", 0]; }; _object setVariable ["hitTimes", (_hits + 1)]; }]; works fine in Singleplayer
I shoot the fridge twice and boom the explosion will be created
little eagle
How many fridges are in the mission?
hollow lantern
depends, I have planned 6
little eagle
ok
[_fridge, ["Hit", {
...
}]] remoteExec ["addEventHandler", 0, _fridge];
I think this is how it goes with remoteExec. I don't use it that often.
Point is that you have to add the eventhandler on all machines.
If it's only 6 and not fifty then transfering code doesn't matter.
Although Hit doesn't fire for me even in SP.
hollow lantern
hmm weird
little eagle
HitPart vs Hit?
hollow lantern
let me check
true that, Hit does not work for me either buuuut HitPart works on it
little eagle
[_fridge, ["HitPart", {
...
}]] remoteExec ["addEventHandler", 0, _fridge];
then
The CBA one doesn't work, because this is a map / terrain object and still has this disabled for performance reasons that were decided back in A2 :/
hollow lantern
[_obj, ["HitPart", {
_object = _this select 0 select 0;
_hits = _object getVariable "hitTimes";
_unit = _object getVariable ["KI_unitToKill", objNull];
_light = _object getVariable ["KI_vehToRemove", objNull];
if(isNil "_hits") exitWith { _object setVariable ["hitTimes", 1]; };
if(_hits == 1 && alive _object) exitWith {
for "_i" from 1 to 2 do {
createVehicle ["Bo_GBU12_LGB",[(getPos _object select 0)+ (_i*cos (_i*17.5)),(getPos _object select 1)+ (_i*sin (_i*17.5)),0],[],0,"CAN_COLLIDE"];
_object setDamage 1;
_unit setDamage 1;
deleteVehicle _light;
};
_object setVariable ["hitTimes", 0];
};
_object setVariable ["hitTimes", (_hits + 1)];
}]] remoteExecCall ["addEventHandler", 0, _obj];``` That works as expected, thanks @little eagleyw
hollow lantern
I should've known that earlier. Used remoteExecCall for switchMove animations a while ago and solved it also with remoteExecCall
little eagle
You could optimize this by using
{_this call My_fnc_hitFridge}
So you
- don't transfer as much data over the network
- circumvent a bug where Arma has to recompile the whole function passed to addEventHandler, because it's stored as string.
And define My_fnc_hitFridge in init.sqf (on every machine)
rancid ruin
why are you shooting a fridge though anyway?
bitter bough
Say someone makes a script, and it works flawlessly being hosted via client.
But is completely fudged once hosted on a dedicated server.
Is ther a specific reason Servers don't recognize functions? Or some kind of engine difference that has to be remembered?
hollow lantern
@rancid ruin Because I made a fridge with arms and legs and thats an enemy now ๐
rancid ruin
nice, can't argue with that
little eagle
@bitter bough Impossible to tell really. The scripter messed up somewhere. That's all you can say for sure.
bitter bough
Ugh.
Because I know for a fact that things work properly when being hosted. Both client and 'hosted client' side
little eagle
There is no magic flip to switch to make something like that work
bitter bough
Yeah I know that much. But understanding why servers seem to have a different method for calling functions might.
rancid ruin
there's a difference between client and server, that's about all there is to it
need to get locality correct or things won't work as expected
bitter bough
It's Mostly UI errors. Only one thing isn't really. This should be interesting....
hollow lantern
_obj setVariable ["KI_unitToKill", _unit];
_obj setVariable ["KI_vehToRemove", _light];```
I tried to ``remoteExecCall`` them with
```sqf
[_obj,"KI_unitToKill", _unit] remoteExecCall ["setVariable", 0, _obj];
[_obj,"KI_vehToRemove", _light] remoteExecCall ["setVariable", 0, _obj];``` is that wrong? The code above works in singleplayer but the one below doesn't :S_obj setVariable ["KI_vehToRemove", _light, true];```that will broadcast them so they're everywhere
(the true at the end)
remote exec should work too i think.. but never tried setVariable in remoteExec like that

Anybody - Activated when any object satisfies the 'Activation Condition'. BLUFOR, OPFOR, Independent, Civilian, Game Logic - Activated when any object of the given side satisfies the 'Activation Condition'. Seized by BLUFOR, Seized by OPFOR, Seized by Independent - Activated when the given side is in control of the area. Strength matters, which means one tank can be in control of an area while ten enemy infantrymen are still present. Radio Alpha, Radio Bravo, Radio Charlie, Radio Delta, Radio Echo, Radio Foxtrot, Radio Golf, Radio Hotel, Radio India, Radio Juliet - Activated by a player using a radio command (accessible for the player by pressing 0-0 on a standard keyboard). The trigger 'Text' will be used as the command title.

Has anyone ever had issues with unique object variables? On my server with high traffic, many of the players returned from playableUnits randomly just become null.
cedar kindle
what's the reason you're using playableUnits? and not allPlayers/similar command
functions*
warm gorge
@cedar kindle Would it make much of a difference though if I used allPlayers or whatever? If the issue is unknown to me, and not related to dead players or whatever, but just players randomly going null
cerulean whale
@warm gorge I've had similar issues before and I must say, code optimization is key in that regard, avoid large dumps from allPlayers (what I use) or playableUnits in your instance. @cedar kindle I'm not entirely sure if there is much of a difference in performance over them but I know there are some differences in other areas.
@warm gorge To my knowledge I believe that playableunits works on unoccupied units... this could be avoided by SQF isPlayer _x I believe
cedar kindle
playableUnits is slottable units occupied by AI and also players, can't think of when you'd want to use that
as for them going null, the variable will be objNull once the player disconnects but it should not be populated in the list anymore. might happen when they die if no respawn, unsure. If you're using an array argument and passing it around with sleeps etc you could fall into that trap. Hard to say without you posting some code
warm gorge
@cedar kindle Ive noticed the issue mainly through my admin menu, which simply loops through playableUnits, adding them all to a ListBox and then when you click on a player it does a check if the unit isNull, and if it isnt, displays info about the player. For these 'bugged' players, it doesnt show any info, because their null.
But the same issue is with all the menus which use playableUnits. Whenever I chuck their variable in the debug console watch, it shows as null, even know the player is alive and well.
Ive always used playableUnits in most cases as ive seen most other people use it
rotund cypress
@rancid ruin Yes 64-bit and an extension.

use allPayers/CBA_fnc_players if you only want players, no reason to use playableUnits. how are you getting the selected player back from uiNS?

call compile format
is where your code bugs out.

Ty captain

@little eagle Even then, if I just put the variable name of these 'bugged' players in the debug console watch, they show up as null. So wouldnt that be completely separate from using call compile format?
E.g in my case, lets say 'civ_11' is bugged. Ill chuck civ_11 in a watch bar, and it will show up as null even know they are alive and well
simple fiber
But what do you get with the first line
little eagle
Because those variable names cannot be used to serialize object references.
simple fiber
Is it an object ?
warm gorge
Its players
little eagle
civ_11 is an object, because all units are objects
simple fiber
If it's already a string why do you format it
And if it's an obj whu do you convert it to str
I don't get it
little eagle
You cannot do that ^ reliably. That is where the bug is.
Cannot use str _object or format object
It will fail eventually.
My time's up.
simple fiber
If you save an object as an object why do you want to convert it to str anyway to call compile to get the obj
Wat
vapid frigate
because you can't save an object to a listbox entry
warm gorge
^
vapid frigate
only a string (lbData) or number (lbValue)
simple fiber
This game never fails to surprise me...
vapid frigate
you can setvariable on a control.. thats the only way i can think of to work around it
(an array set on the whole listbox)
warm gorge
I understand call compile might not be the best method of doing this, but that isnt the cause of the issue that I know of. I dont see how the way I store a player reference in a list box has anything to do with player variable names (civ_1, civ_2 etc) becoming null
simple fiber
Because you cannot get an obj like this
vapid frigate
you can get an object like that
vapid frigate
serializing it might be unpredictable, but if you have the right name it should deserialize
simple fiber
I don't think {OBJNAME} = Objname
vapid frigate
that's what the 'call' is for
simple fiber
no shit
warm gorge
I definitely am using the right var name, and they are alive. They just sometimes become null, and randomly 'fix' out of no reason
simple fiber
But I don't think it will return the obj anyway
vapid frigate
they also null in the debug console watch things?
warm gorge
Yes
vapid frigate
harmdhast it does.. it's just _obj = call compile "civ_11"; is the same as doing _obj = civ_11;
(well a lot slower.. but same result)
simple fiber
I'm not used to this kind of call compile sorcery
cedar kindle
good, it should've died with a2
@warm gorge just to be clear, you mean objNull and not nil?
simple fiber
never played with editing in a2 anyway
warm gorge
@cedar kindle Yes, objNull
simple fiber
@ShadowRanger Are the players JIP or are they connected and initialized ?
warm gorge
@simple fiber Cant be sure exactly, because its such a high traffic server and it happens only sometimes out of the blue. Id say its JIP players mainly tho
simple fiber
Just use a isNull check when you build your list then :)
cedar kindle
all I can tell you is that if the unit is named civ_11 and it's a reference to the player object who is alive, it cannot be objNull. So either you've got the wrong ref or something is overwriting civ_11 variable
warm gorge
@simple fiber I shouldnt have to when they are alive and well, thats the thing. @cedar kindle Thats exactly what I think. Thats why its so confusing to me, I dont know whats causing it. I know 100% im referencing them properly and using the right variables, so its weird
vapid frigate
not using the var name elsewhere as well? (on something that gets deleted)
cedar kindle
save the list as a gvar and select the index from the listbox maybe? then you avoid the whole serialization between namespaces and don't have to name your player objects with a variable
simple fiber
A check won't cost anything tbh. Assuming you are on AL
- To others, CIV_xx vars are not rewrote
warm gorge
@vapid frigate Id have to go through the whole mission file, but im pretty sure I dont. @cedar kindle Ill probably have a play around with it to see if I can figure anything out. @simple fiber Im not worried about the check, its just the neccesity of the check.
simple fiber
Probably the.best you can go with is to check if the player is JIP with getClientState or.other commands I probably forgot
cedar kindle
the only way for them to become objNull is death/disconnect during the selection time
cedar kindle
they can die and disconnect while the UI is open
warm gorge
Cheers for the help guys, ill make some changes and see how I go. If I continue with issues, ill be sure to update you all if I can.

Weird question but where do you guys call disableSerialization in your scripts? At the very top? Or below your main private [] call?
still forum
private [] call ? I use it where it's needed just before it's needed
warm gorge
I just sometimes see people call it at the top of their scripts, above or below the most outermost variable private declarations
Not sure what 'habbit' to get into
I can show you what I mean if you want. Not sure i fim allowed to post links to github reps tho
still forum
Well.. There is no reason to use it where it's not needed. It might actually hurt. So I don't see a reason to use it at the top of every script
Sure you are allowed to post links.
warm gorge
Nah I dont mean it like that. But I have a lot of scripts which I use disableSerialization in, of course only when I need it though. https://github.com/A3Wasteland/ArmA3_Wasteland.Altis/blob/09bcafd33f5ab6e33e53658a0de1c58b67d51821/client/systems/adminPanel/playerMenu.sqf Example of what I mean, you can see it scalled at the top
still forum
Yeah.. okey.. Most people don't consider it as a real part of code and put it just like in the script you linked at the top of the script. together with the header and #defines and other misc stuff that aren't actually part of the script itself.
Personal preference. I like my scripts to be compact. So I'd move the disableSerialization call "out" of my script. Performance wise it's best to do it only when you need it. In the linked script for example if the if block doesn't execute you are still executing disableSerialization. But the performance impact is to small to really care about it.
warm gorge

Weird question, but do you guys think a developer position on a server deserves the same sort of gratitude that a regular staff member (moderator/admin) would deserve?
jade abyss
Ask yourself: What would the Mod/Admin do without a Dev? What would a Dev do without a Mod/Admin? Whats more needed?
warm gorge
Yeah, well im in a bit of a 'sticky' situation haha. But id say a dev would be more needed, cause without them, you wouldnt have the server.
@jade abyss Just a bit difficult when you have someone who doesnt understand coding and all the work that I do, and doesnt think its worthy of a higher staff position.
jade abyss
Do what i would do, if they got a Problem say: "Good luck finding the problem"
warm gorge
Haha yeah
tame portal
@tough abyss at that point the owner would label himself Developer
simple fiber
You won't get gratitude and appreciation because you are developping for random kiddos on life servers. There are communities out there that have a huge respect for their developpers / content makers including mine
It just depends if the admins recognize the amount of work needed or if they just don't care
But as ShadowRanger asked, I think a developper should be at the same level as an admin or mod. They often need access to the server and they have access to all the content. A dev must be someone you can trust like an admin
halcyon crypt
there's a difference between true appreciation and appreciation so that you keep working for them ๐
jade abyss
and most of the time it's the last case
rancid ruin
what is a "higher staff position"? if they're not paying you then why would you care about an imaginary internet rank?
either get paid or do it cos you love doing it. that's my rule of thumb
warm gorge
Yeah but certain access does help with developing, such as access to the server files etc
yeah, you make good points
rancid ruin
i'd say just work with friends, or at least people who you share mutual respect with
i predict you're probably working with 14 year old "admins" on a life server or something?
warm gorge
Nah much older, just one of the admins doesnt understand coding as well as I do or the other main admin does, which makes things difficult sometimes
rancid ruin
but it is a life server right?

Would it be worth moving from using cursorTarget to cursorObject in most cases for getting the cursor target object for vehicles, players, buildings etc?
Ive noticed from when ive used it so far its a lot more accurate, and doesn't have detection/reveal issues like cursorTarget
thin pine
I only use cursorTarget for in game debugging, trying to target a moving object eg helicopter
warm gorge
@thin pine What do you use for non-debugging purposes? Theres not really many other choices for getting targets
thin pine
In my scripting activities so far I haven't really had a need for the cursor target/object grabbing commands other than a nametag script I wrote years ago
turbid thunder
cursorTarget only returns something when the object can actually be identified. Imagine it like when it is night and you play on low difficulty that sometimes it isnt really telling you what unit you are aiming at, or the unit is not visible on the map even though it is pretty close to you and in your line of sight. Basically you need to have some level of knowsAbout or else it wont return something. cursorObject is going strictly by line of sight and doesnt care if you can actually see it (based on weather, fog, time of day ect)

thin pine
Try lbsort
tame portal
@thin pine lbsort doesn't work ^^
warm gorge
Surprised theres not a command for it already. Might be worth making a suggestion on the Arma 3 Feedback Tracker
tame portal
@warm gorge A workaround would be to put all items in the format of ["text","value"] into one array and then use the sort command and add them back to the combobox
It will use the first element of a sub array
So if the display text is the first element in the items array, it will sort alphabetically
@warm gorge Does that make sense to you?
warm gorge
@tame portal In my case, im trying to sort allPlayers/playableUnits array by their names, so id assume you mean save their name, and object reference to a 2d array and then sort before looping through it and adding it to the combo box?
tame portal
Yes
I'd do it like this
Foreach player object do
_allunitstosort pushBack [name _x, _x];
Then so
_allunitstosort sort false;
Then loop through _allunitstosort and add them to the combobox
warm gorge
Alright ill give that a go. That wouldnt be too performance inneficient would it?
For a menu that might get constantly opened
thin pine
Instead of optixes pushback you could also use apply if you want to be fancy :p
warm gorge
@tame portal @thin pine Tried using apply for this, but doesn't seem to be working properly.
_players = allPlayers apply {name _x; _x};
_players sort true;
still forum
facepalm
_players = allPlayers apply {[name _x, _x]}; _players sort true;
Additionally _players = _players apply {_this select 1} Now you have array of player objects sorted by name

On all clients is public variable eventhandler that executes scripts that corresponds to less-than-100-percent-multiplayer-working script commands.

hey guys
i got a script that generates random locations based on some input
i'm trying to test it via the console
if i spawn the function it seems to work okay
but when i try to player setPos to the function return value it gives me a generic error
i've tried a few things but it still gives a generic error with no explanation
currently trying this:
my_fnc = compile preprocessFile "scripts\randLoc.sqf";
_posVal = [9000,18000,100,0.8] call my_fnc;

so i tried that as well
my_fnc = compile preprocessFile "scripts\randLoc.sqf";
_posVal = [9000,18000,100,0.8] spawn my_fnc;
player setPos _posVal;
and i still get a generic error but now with the player setPos part
vapid frigate
nah not like that
spawn won't give you the return value
it will give you a reference to the spawned 'thread'
[] spawn {
my_fnc = compile preprocessFile "scripts\randLoc.sqf";
_posVal = [9000,18000,100,0.8] call my_fnc;
player setpos _posVal;
};```oh i see let me give that a shot
still giving me an error:
18:47:35 Error in expression <essFile "scripts\randLoc.sqf";
_posVal = [9000,18000,100,0.8] call my_fnc;

hmm don't see what's wrong with that
unless you can't have _privates in debug console? i think you can in that spawn at least though
spice arch
hm
so its got something to do with player setpos _posval
the call to my_fnc seems to go through alright
my_fnc hints the new coordinates
so i see that once i return to game

does your function definitely return a position?

_posVal = [9000,18000,100,0.8] spawn my_fnc; <---
vapid frigate
so if you do my_pos = instead of _posval =
spice arch
hint format ["%1,%2,%3", _randLoc select 0, _randLoc select 1, _randLoc select 2];
returnVal = _randLoc;
jade abyss
_posVal = [9000,18000,100,0.8] spawn my_fnc; <-- spawn -> call
vapid frigate
yeh explained that already dscha
spice arch
and the hint returns a location properly
jade abyss
No clue, there is too much codestuff without the CodeTag in here, hard to keep track of everything
jade abyss
```sqf
CODE
```
spice arch
yeah i was just using the
_returnVal = _randLoc;
as an organizer but it should still work as a return value no?
or does that a pointer to _randLoc instead?
return a *
jade abyss
First of all: What are you trying to achieve?
spice arch
i'm trying to test a random location script i wrote
so i've been using combinations of call/spawn/execVM in the console
jade abyss
execVM? Why?
spice arch
[] spawn {
my_fnc = compile preprocessFile "scripts\randLoc.sqf";
posVal = [9000,18000,100,0.8] call my_fnc;
player setpos posVal;
};
so i findthat the first 2 lines of the spawn { } works
vapid frigate
the last line of your function needs to return something
so needs to just be _randLoc
or _returnVal
jade abyss
how does "randLoc.sqf" look like?
vapid frigate
if it's a statement, it'll just return 'nil'
spice arch
ok one sec let me change that real quick lecks
i'll post the code in a pastebin if its still problematic
jade abyss
Just paste (next time) the whole Code in here, if you need help. Guessing what the rest of the code looks like is pretty annoying and wastes alot of time
spice arch
ah okay that worked
thanks guys
so if i understand correctly
is it because the statement _returnVal = _randLoc doesn't actually return
vapid frigate
yeah
spice arch
the return statement of sqf has to be a single line
vapid frigate
that just assigns _returnVal
spice arch
that like calls the variable
jade abyss
my_fnc = {_a = 1; _a};
hint str (call my_fnc); //Result: "1"
ok i get it, thanks guys!

As i was playing around with fired EH:
Anyone know a way to find out, when a bullet hit something?
warm gorge
@hasty violet Yeah actually, I used it a couple weeks ago and had the same issue, didn't understand what was going on
jade abyss
Why not do it the other way around with
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/selectRandom
?
warm gorge
That doesnt shuffle the whole array though
vapid frigate
it should be random ```private _cnt = count _this;
for "_i" from 1 to _cnt do {
_this pushBack (_this deleteAt floor random _cnt);
};
actually i guess that could leave chunks of the original
dusk sage
It is as random as the random command can get
vapid frigate
but it could be pushing back the same ones each time
jade abyss
Having 3 Entrys in it and expecting everytime a different result is... erm.. yeah ๐
dusk sage
It could, it's random after all ๐
vapid frigate
so it has a pretty high probability of having chunks from the original
unless it happens to do at least every 2nd one
dusk sage
It has the same probability as not having the same pattern as the original
little eagle
There also is `CBA_fnc_shuffleยด
dusk sage
Depending on the frequency of non unique elements, of course
Isn't it the same code commy?
little eagle
No idea.
I can't imagine BIS_fnc_arrayShuffle being not random though.
Well you are playing with randomness here. So maybe you're just unlucky.
still forum
Just shuffle a random number of times
warm gorge
@jade abyss In regards to a bullet hit event, I dont believe there is one. Only thing I could think of doing is using a waitUntil {isNull _projectile} in a Fired event handler
little eagle
And that isn't safe for projectiles that can bounce.
turbid thunder
Are you saying that Arma spawns a new projectile when it bounces off a surface?
little eagle
No, but the projectile isn't deleted when it hits. It bounces.
turbid thunder
I see
jade abyss
Yeah, that hit doesn't seem to work anymore.
+isNull is pretty useless, as (since commy said) they bounce around
none of them triggered -.-

You suggest it could already exist?
still forum
Just saying it's logical that these EH's don't work. Because the Hit eventhandler is a HasBeenHit eventhandler. Not hasHitSomething
Like the Killed EH. It only checks hasBeenKilled. Not if a Player hasKilled something

There is no difference in a projectile hitting you at 600 m/s or you running into a still projectile.with 600 m/s technically.

Hit EH on the projectile will probably fire if you hit the projectile with a projectile
jade abyss
Nope

Triggered when a vehicle or unit is damaged by a nearby explosion.

Concerning bullet stuff https://feedback.bistudio.com/T84736 But that's not really a hit handler

Yep
"Realistic tank armour" kinda like the direction why i need it
Projectile hits an object, EH trigger that gives out the vehicle that was hit, position, worldToModel Pos of Vehicle, maybe the angle it came from/in

โฌ Having said EH return the hit pos' armour angle could also be useful.
Could be used together with the projectile's angle in order to determine if penetration occurred.

Spent over an hour trying to figure this out. It's the darn easiest things ๐
manic sigil
So I unpacked the Dynamic Recon Ops mission to try and add Zeus to it - for personal use, no intent to redistribute etc - but it doesn't seem to want to stick. It lists the first player as u1, doesn't destroy or replace that unit, even codes u1 in as the server admin... but adding a Zeus token with u1 as the owner doesn't allow for Zeus to be opened :/
Okay, it CAN work, but only if I cancel the mission setup menu... which you can't reopen, effectively breaking the mission. Hm.
And for a few brief seconds after the mission begins, too... narrowing down.
open vigil
Do you have permission to do so?
manic sigil
No, I have not sought out the mission maker's permission to edit the mission, but I also have no intent on releasing it. But I understand the concern :/
open vigil
It's one thing to have a peek to see how a mission maker has solved a particular problem, but it's quite another to alter someone's mission without permission.
jovial ivy
I mean. It would really depend if you release it publicly. I edit missions from the workshop all the time for fun with my friends.
manic sigil
FM is right, though. I mean, without monetization its not crime of the century, but its still a sketchy thing to do - not everyone who says they'll keep it private means it, intentionally or not.
jovial ivy
Indeed.
dusk sage
If they wanted it to be private, then why* would they release it ๐ค ?
jesus, mashed that
manic sigil
I get what you mean, but that feels like slippery slope to Ayn Rand "im a creator but i never write down my work because you arent worthy of it"ism.
dusk sage
Was it workshop?
Gotta have a peek at the license, very few limit you to do your own thing (w/o redis)
open vigil
Most people will give you permission if you just ask. But, not asking, at its most basic level, is disrespectful.
dusk sage
If they have released something for the public to use, and you alter that for your own private usage, that's perfectly normal
open vigil
You wouldn't say that about a mod, so why would you say that about a mission?
dusk sage
Aslong as he is remixing the mission itself, and not using its contents for his own creation
Regardless, gotta check license. I can't think of one which would revoke that right
rotund cypress
No one will use his changes if he does not release it, why is there a problem with modifying something only you know you have modified?
tough abyss
In order to add Zeus to a mission via script: ```SQF
private "_curator";
_curator = (createGroup sideLogic) createUnit ["ModuleCurator_F", [0, 0, 0] , [], 0, ""]; // Create curator module, needed in order to assign a curator
player assignCurator _curator; // Assign a curator, the user in our case
openCuratorInterface; // Force open the curator interface
// Called with (requires CBA)
QUOTE(closeDialog 0; [] remoteExecCall [ARR_2(QQFUNC(openZeus), 0)]);
Again, at the most simple level, it's courtesy. Because you're tinkering with someone else's creation without at the very least even asking.

How will people know that someone has changed it? If he is the only one using it?
tough abyss

manic sigil
Its a content creator thing, additionally as FM said, if I played with someone they get a copy, and may be less scrupulous about content rights.
rotund cypress
Of course, but then its not locally anymore which makes it another thing
And then if he is a cunt and shares it, he will deal with the problems

I'm trying to come up with a MP compatible way to link any player in the mission (who has a particular backpack) to the BIS support requestor, and then unlink them if they take that pack off. Pretty much a no frills JTAC script. Does anyone know of a script that already does this?

I don't think there is. I opened the module function and it execVMs a script that requires the exact module to be present (classname hardcoded) and that script starts a fsm. Really convoluted stuff. Probably not possible to disable it without rewriting it all.

I have a server of altis life, i want make a script when if you are in range of an PVP action, if start show a popup message whit "you want start the action?" if selected yes the script force the first person and count the position in 2 km on the center of action if you go out, go out of the action and can use third person camera and report "this guy left the action zone"... is something possible to make?

Is there any benefit using uiSleep over sleep? In my case for loops on a server mission file
still forum
If your game is paused sleep will also pause. uiSleep will continue running
Not correct! ๐
jade abyss
๐
and i quote again "uiSleep is basically using the system time (uiTime more specifically) and not simulation time."
still forum
true. ^^
jade abyss
(ignore us both from now on, thats a topic we often have)
warm gorge
Sorry to sound ignorant, but im a bit insure what the difference is between system time and simulation time
still forum
diag_tickTime is systemTime.. Well.. Offset from game start in systemTime
Simulation can be paused
still forum
For example when you tab out in singleplayer. uiTime will continue running but simulation time will be stopped
warm gorge
So using it on a server mission file over sleep wouldnt make a difference? Because theres no UI on the server
still forum
also when you change the Speed in Singleplayer. Simulation time will accelerate uiTime won't
jade abyss
Also: When your FPS is low (below 10) -> sleep can be delayed, uisleep don't
Its just the name, you can use it on the server aswell
still forum
IMO generally uiSleep is the better choice.. But in most situations it doesn't matter
jade abyss
โ
And thats the point, where we agree again and you can start listening to us again
๐
still forum
If you really want to go OCD then you can add these 2 characters to all your Sleeps. But I wouldn't waste that time (Hah! time! sleep! ๐ )
warm gorge
So if uiSleep doesnt get affected by low FPS, remember this is on the server in my case, wouldnt that be the better option in most cases?
Cause im having a lot of issues with the sleep command as its not accurate when the server fps is low
jade abyss
I would use uisleep on the Server. Thats the first thing that goes down in FPS (CPS), so its pretty important that the sleeptimer is started precisely
Yes.
There is also the possibility of using diag_TickTime and waitUntil, but... nah
warm gorge
Is waitUntil similar at all? Is it less efficient or whatever
jade abyss
_EndTime = diag_tickTime + (5*60); //5min
waitUntil{diag_TickTime > _EndTime; uisleep 1};```added a sleep as an example
still forum
waitUntil checks it's condition every frame or every few frames. And if it's true it continues the script
jade abyss
waitUntil would fire up each frame (wich is most of the time not needed)
still forum
It is less efficient than (ui)sleep because it has to execute the script in it's condition. (ui)sleep is evaluated engine side without calling scripts
jade abyss
even an uisleep 0.01 can make a difference
Exactly.
So: Stick with uisleep, its enough
still forum
So if you just want to sleep. And have fps problems anyway. Stick(Not the wooden one) with (ui)sleep
warm gorge
Ah yep I see, I think ill swap over to uiSleep. A bit confused on the difference between systemTime and simulationTime tho
jade abyss
yepyep
warm gorge
Just to confirm, is uiSleep affected by server FPS at all? Or just a lot less than sleep
still forum
TBH Sleep also shouldn't be affected by FPS... What's probably happening is that the script scheduler is so filled up that it doesn't execute the sleeping script right after the sleep ran out...
jade abyss
naaahhh, that sleep can be delayed is okay.
Cycletime is reduced, so time goes on "slower"
still forum
If the scheduler is the problem uiSleep won't make it better.
jade abyss
Wait, its not "okay", but its correct
