#

@rotund cypress yes but that wouldn't even help me with calculating the time in script. I'd need to know in a date and time format not just seconds.

dusk sage May 12, 2017, 10:22 PM

#

Think the command for start date is missionStart

#

or along those lines

rotund cypress May 12, 2017, 10:23 PM

#

Ah ye, time is just for how much time has passed since mission start

#

Or since you are in the game with display #46

subtle ore May 12, 2017, 10:24 PM

#

if this command still works, this is the most optimal method for me personally: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/estimatedTimeLeft

subtle ore May 13, 2017, 2:22 AM

#

the "CAN_COLLIDE" tag for create vehicle will drop the barrel to the ground if it's floating above something correct?

subtle ore May 13, 2017, 2:51 AM

#

Well that wouldn't make any sense if it returns localy okay then it should be fine on remote? Unless the object only exists locally and the effects of the bullet are handled somewhere else? 🤷

#

^ just throwing ideas out there

@tough abyss https://feedback.bistudio.com/T70699

if (isNull _projectile) then {
    _projectile = nearestObject [_unit, _ammo];
};

little eagle May 13, 2017, 4:23 AM

#

Oh, projectiles are like createVehicleLocal objects

#

only exist on their local machine, but everyone has a copy

subtle ore May 13, 2017, 4:23 AM

#

aha!

little eagle May 13, 2017, 4:24 AM

#

that wouldn't work anyway. attachTo doesn't work for CfgAmmo

vapid frigate May 13, 2017, 4:39 AM

#

could sync the marker instead of the projectile

#

but yeh doesn't seem very efficient

ionic aurora May 13, 2017, 7:34 AM

#

but i thought i would ask here wats wrong with this code http://i.imgur.com/KmsJcI1.png

vapid frigate May 13, 2017, 7:37 AM

#

missing { } around the event handler code

#

player addEventHandler ["respawn", { enable fatigue etc }]

ionic aurora May 13, 2017, 8:09 AM

#

thank you sir , i wish you a great day 😃

inner cypress May 13, 2017, 8:14 AM

#

newguy question-- i had an idea to use an array of logical expressions in order to test the end of a waitUntil loop. Can you use expressions in arrays, or is there a better way given a bunch of ending conditions?

#

I guess my assumption is that all the logical expressions to test end have to be on the last line after a sleep

#

    _myWaits = [
        (!alive _unit),
        (isNull _item),
        (_timeOut < time),
        (unitReady _unit)
    ];

    waitUntil {
        sleep 1;
        {
            if (_x) exitWith {True};
        } forEach _myWaits
    }

#

does something like that work?

#

I thought about wrapping the expressions in {} inside the array variable, but I didn't know if that would create some weird scope issue

vapid frigate May 13, 2017, 8:26 AM

#

you could do it with an array just with the { }

#

and if(call _x)

inner cypress May 13, 2017, 8:27 AM

#

would the forEach still exit properly with true -- as so end the waitUntil

vapid frigate May 13, 2017, 8:27 AM

#

hmm yeah not certain about that

#

if not, could use breakOut

#

but it might work anyway

inner cypress May 13, 2017, 8:29 AM

#

oh that would be suck an ugly hack

#

like using a GOTO in my mind

vapid frigate May 13, 2017, 8:29 AM

#

yeh i agree.. don't like using them

#

you could also just do like _done = false; { if (call _x) then {_done = true}; } forEach _myWaits; _done

inner cypress May 13, 2017, 8:30 AM

#

yeah that works-- and it's easy to read too

#

thanks-- i hate ask such questions but even simple in-game tests are still difficult for me to setup

vapid frigate May 13, 2017, 8:32 AM

#

yeh the original would be better if it works (won't check unnecessarily)

inner cypress May 13, 2017, 8:32 AM

#

getting a function recognized by the game seems the hardest part of all of this

vapid frigate May 13, 2017, 8:32 AM

#

i'd just use cfgfunctions

#

but for testing, the debug console

inner cypress May 13, 2017, 8:33 AM

#

i'm only a week into this-- i've not figured all that out yet

vapid frigate May 13, 2017, 8:34 AM

#

debug console just lets you run any working code (unscheduled though, so can't sleep unless you spawn your code)

#

without restarting the game, etc

#

or mission

#

cfgfunctions is just a convenient way to declare/compile all your sqf files:

#

facepalm thanks

#

I've been reading KillZoneKids blog -- it's been very helpful with the basics

#

thanks for the quick assistance

stable wave May 13, 2017, 8:46 AM

#

Are there any full guides on ArmA 3 scripting/editing that are written within last 12 months?

inner cypress May 13, 2017, 8:47 AM

#

I don't know of any full guides. Back in ARMA or maybe ARMA 2 I remember someone made huge PDF that was the bible at the time for scripting. But so much changed over time.

stable wave May 13, 2017, 8:56 AM

#

Yeah. I've been really looking forward to getting into ArmA 3 editing/scripting. But it just boggled my mind when I found out there wasn't an official editing guide.

inner cypress May 13, 2017, 8:58 AM

#

I found little scripting problems like above are actually some of the easier things to deal with. Setting up a work enviroment, build/make, testing. That's all the soul crushing stuff for me so far

#

Everything takes 20x longer than you think it would

#

I'm gutting it out so far

warm gorge May 13, 2017, 9:25 AM

#

So how does lbSetPictureRight work in the arsenal menu, but I cant seem to get it working in any of my menus?

little oxide May 13, 2017, 9:38 AM

#

Any way to add in dialog, a button, to connect to an server, with ip and port ? ( i want to modify my main menu of the game)

dusk sage May 13, 2017, 9:55 AM

#

Don't think it's possible

thick sage May 13, 2017, 10:20 AM

#

@inner cypress I have been working on a SQF analyser to cut dev time exactly for these type of things. https://github.com/LordGolias/sqf

#

It may be useful for you, as it is being for Epoch and Exile devs.

inner cypress May 13, 2017, 10:23 AM

#

@thick sage thanks -- someone pointed me to yesterday for use with atom. It must be very good.

thick sage May 13, 2017, 10:24 AM

#

let me know if you need help installing it (I am always searching for people to use it, because the more feedback (aka bugs) I get)

warm gorge May 13, 2017, 10:25 AM

#

Disregard my question above ^^ Was doing something wrong.

little oxide May 13, 2017, 10:35 AM

#

@thick sage This can be useful, if we can use it with Atom ❤

in my script i need to read config properties of hitpoint classes. Problem: with the EH eventhandler i only get selection names. I can turn that into classnames (strings) no problem. But then there are 2 more problems - 1)hitpoints in turrrets are not under the same config path as regular hitpoints. 2) all turrethitpoints (HitGun, HitTurret) have the same name for every turret... How would i be able to get the config path of a specific hitpoint in this situation?

little eagle May 13, 2017, 1:35 PM

#

iterate through all class HitPoints and identify them by their selection name.

#

Turret paths can be found with the allTurrets command.

#

They correspond to how you would use ((_cfgVehicle >> "Turrets" select 0) >> "Turrets") select 0 >> "HitPoints"

#

which is turret [0,0]

austere hawk May 13, 2017, 1:49 PM

#

_firstTurret = (_cfgVehicle >> "Turrets" select 0) <- thats a syntax one can use?

little eagle May 13, 2017, 1:51 PM

#

I think so. Maybe I'm off with the parenthesis, but you should get the gist.

#

_cfgVehicle >> "Turrets" select 0
corresponds to turret path [0]

#

And all the classes inside all "turrets" classes are turrets that have class "Hitpoints" and all of those have unique selection names. Each turret can have additional "Turrets" sub classes.

austere hawk May 13, 2017, 1:54 PM

#

yes i know

little eagle May 13, 2017, 1:54 PM

#

Not all hitpoints are valid though. They only are if the selection exists in the model.

austere hawk May 13, 2017, 1:54 PM

#

i use "HitTurret01_01" as selectionname for 1st subturret of turret 1 for example

little eagle May 13, 2017, 1:54 PM

#

Can be checked with getAllHitPointsDamages or whatever it was

#

It's a huge PITA and sucks all around imo.

austere hawk May 13, 2017, 1:59 PM

#

i know the pathNumbers to the turret from the selection, just not the name of the turretclass or its parrents. If the "turrets" select 0 would work that would make things much much easier
e.g.
_path = ( _cfgVehicle >> "Turrets" >> "Turrets" select 1 >> "Turrets" >> "Turrets select 0" >> "HitPoints" >> _desiredHitpoint ) for 1st subturret of turret 2 ?

little eagle May 13, 2017, 2:00 PM

#

that is wrong. check out config select number syntax

#

_cfgVehicle >> "Turrets" >> "Turrets" select 1 >> "Turrets" >> "Turrets" select 0 >> "HitPoints" >> _desiredHitpoint )

#

just a misplaced quote mark I think

#

no wait

#

_cfgVehicle >> "Turrets" select 1 >> "Turrets" select 0 >> "HitPoints" >> _desiredHitpoint )

#

again, not sure if this needs parenthesis

#

[1,0] turret

vague lichen May 13, 2017, 2:03 PM

#

EXTdb3 question: say I have 3 fields ... Index, uid, and allowed in a table. Does it make a noticeable performance difference if I create an array to store all of those values at server start or just check the value of allowed using onPlayerConnected?

#

ie checking only executing when the player connects ... or just making a large array of all the known values when the server starts up?

#

For sake of argument .... on a 100 player server?

inner cypress May 13, 2017, 2:07 PM

#

    // the list of all men, including in vehicles and the dead
    _listMen = entities [["Man"],[],true,false];

    // the list of alive men only, including in vehicles
    _listAliveMen = entities [["Man"],[],true,true];

    // filter out those alive from the list of all men
    _corpses = _listMen - _listAliveMen;

Is this a reasonable way to accomplish this? I could iterate through the first list and test alive _x, but I'm not sure which is optimal

vague lichen May 13, 2017, 2:07 PM

#

on one side, it compiles all of the information at server start and just runs a quick check to see if they are allowed

little eagle May 13, 2017, 2:07 PM

#

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/allDeadMen

allDeadMen

#

?

vague lichen May 13, 2017, 2:08 PM

#

on the flip side, I lose a valuable piece of the puzzle .. the ability to flip the bit in "allowed" in the database without having to restart the server

#

just tell the player ... disconnect and reconnect and boom! you are allowed. Whereas the former, I have to tell them to wait until server restart

inner cypress May 13, 2017, 2:11 PM

Thanks.

Ohh. landing canceled huh? CANCELED.

I swear to god they used google translate for that shit, I translate the Czech translation back into english and it spits out "canceled"

they're both correct according to the internet 😛

I've seen it still spelled cancelled in the uk. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

is there an easy way to damage/ kill a unit or vehicle via script, but have it react /make it so the instigator is another unit or vehicle?
Right now for example my damage script causes destruction of a vehicle and crew if ammo was hit. But since the damage is scripted, a team killer would receive no penalty for example and killed EH returns "" as instigator.

jade abyss May 13, 2017, 5:00 PM

#

what about: handleDamage EH -> SetVar on Veh about last instigator -> script checks for last instigator?

austere hawk May 13, 2017, 5:06 PM

#

so you mean i should save the instigator on the veh and then use scripts on killed event to manually set the score? Thats the hard way i would like to avoid... as i would have to replicate the entire AI reaction and score system

#

or is there a default vanilla variable for the last instigator for such things?

jade abyss May 13, 2017, 5:36 PM

#

For example, yeah

#

not that i know off :/

tough abyss May 13, 2017, 7:38 PM

#

how would i create a group and join that same group? i was looking at the join thing but i dont understand it. if someone could type up a example? thanks

indigo snow May 13, 2017, 7:43 PM

#

[player] joinSilent (createGroup west)

#

_group  = createGroup west;
[player] joinSilent _group;

#

etc

tough abyss May 13, 2017, 7:47 PM

#

can you create as group in civilian?

indigo snow May 13, 2017, 7:47 PM

#

sure

tough abyss May 13, 2017, 7:48 PM

#

ok thanks

inner cypress May 13, 2017, 7:50 PM

#

taking a position2d as a parma -- is position2d also a type? does anyone have a typical guard expression for them?

#

params

indigo snow May 13, 2017, 7:51 PM

#

position 2D is just an array of size 2 instead of size 3

#

either only take arrays on length 2 or take any length greater than two and resize

inner cypress May 13, 2017, 7:52 PM

#

ok thanks for the quick rely

#

reply

indigo snow May 13, 2017, 7:53 PM

#

i think most of the commands even plain take normal position arrays too btw

#

marker creation ones do

#

just be aware get you use getMarkerPos it will be position2D not 3D

inner cypress May 13, 2017, 7:54 PM

#

ok-- i eventually use it in a distance2D expression

indigo snow May 13, 2017, 7:55 PM

#

distance2D takes normal positions too

inner cypress May 13, 2017, 7:55 PM

#

_unit distance2D _refPosition > CONSTANT

indigo snow May 13, 2017, 7:55 PM

#

_refPosition can be [x,y,z] there too

#

format position vs format position2D

inner cypress May 13, 2017, 7:56 PM

#

aye but I would like the distance to be agl only

indigo snow May 13, 2017, 7:57 PM

#

it will just ignore the Z component tho

#

no difference between using a normal position or a normal position with Z snipped off

inner cypress May 13, 2017, 7:57 PM

#

ohh really? ok.. well then. thanks

tough abyss May 13, 2017, 7:58 PM

#

how do i get someone to leave a group?

indigo snow May 13, 2017, 7:58 PM

#

have them join another group

#

or even grpNull

tough abyss May 13, 2017, 7:58 PM

#

how does grpnull work

indigo snow May 13, 2017, 7:58 PM

#

[_unit] joinSilent grpNull

tough abyss May 13, 2017, 7:59 PM

#

ok and what does it do? join another group or ...

indigo snow May 13, 2017, 7:59 PM

#

every unit must be in a group

#

so yes

#

it will create a new one for the unit

tough abyss May 13, 2017, 8:00 PM

#

ok thanks

rotund cypress May 13, 2017, 10:09 PM

this sounds more like some engine thing during startup

What's the syntax to create a group's waypoint on a marker?

subtle ore May 14, 2017, 2:04 AM

#

What do you mean "syntax" waypoints and markers aren't inheritely associated.

#

you could add a waypoint at a marker position (getMarkerPos "MySuperCoolMarker")

#

Ex: (Yes I did grab a biki example because I am in rush of time) _wp =_grp addWaypoint [(getMarkerPos "MySuperCoolMarker"), 0];

#

_grp being deinfed like: _grp = createGroup west;

shadow sapphire May 14, 2017, 2:09 AM

#

@subtle ore, that's exactly what I needed! Thanks!

subtle ore May 14, 2017, 2:09 AM

#

@shadow sapphire Sure thing.

shadow sapphire May 14, 2017, 2:31 AM

#

Can anyone tell me how to create a waypoint for an AI group based on another existing AI group's waypoint?

This is what I'm doing currently:

#

    private _wpPosition = waypointPosition _waypoint;
    _wpPosition = _wpPosition getPos [100, 0];
    _waypoint setWPPos _wpPosition;
} forEach waypoints _G4;```

#

What'm I doing wrong?

subtle ore May 14, 2017, 2:33 AM

#

@shadow sapphire I'm pretty sure getPos in this situation still contains 3 numbers just like a regular position array. Don't see as to why it wouldn't.

shadow sapphire May 14, 2017, 2:33 AM

#

Hmm...

#

Okay, I'll go look at syntax.

#

Looks like it only takes two numbers.

subtle ore May 14, 2017, 2:36 AM

#

getPos?

shadow sapphire May 14, 2017, 2:38 AM

#

origin getPos [distance, heading]

#

That's the syntax from the biki.

subtle ore May 14, 2017, 2:47 AM

#

what;s the error?

shadow sapphire May 14, 2017, 2:49 AM

#

No error, it's just not executing anything.

little eagle May 14, 2017, 2:53 AM

#

The code looks like it just moves the waypoints of _G4, not create new ones for a new group.

shadow sapphire May 14, 2017, 3:14 AM

#

Ah! Okay, so I need to create a waypoint first??

subtle ore May 14, 2017, 3:15 AM

#

No

little eagle May 14, 2017, 3:15 AM

#

All you do atm is move the old waypoints.

subtle ore May 14, 2017, 3:15 AM

#

You need to create the waypoints for the seperate group with the data from the other group.

little eagle May 14, 2017, 3:16 AM

#

Yeah. The other group isn't even part of the script. Only _g4

#

No surprise that nothing happens.

#

All you do is move the waypoints of _g4 100 meters north.

shadow sapphire May 14, 2017, 3:17 AM

#

No, that's not the whole script.

#

It'll work now. Wait one, then I'll share complete script.

#

Working perfectly now.

@queen cargo Aye, duh. sorry bout that.

queen cargo May 14, 2017, 3:38 AM

#

In an optomal world CfgFunctions would be used

#

Saving the compiled code in a variable is OK too though

subtle ore May 14, 2017, 3:38 AM

#

@queen cargo Only if something is ran more than once. Otherwise something that runs and closes once the entire game it wouldn't make a difference.

Organization is key
That part belongs to it

subtle ore May 14, 2017, 3:41 AM

Right, but none the less.

Organization indeed. If you have 6 times essentially the same line, then there is much room for improvement.

It's not far up, like at all. I'm surprised it's not still on screen.

#

Can't work that way, I don't think. The markers are just placeholders.

#

Their waypoints and spawn locations are going to be dynamically determined.

#

Well, it probably can work that way, but it's over my head.

#

Well, I'm familiar with it. Our community developer does everything, really. But i read his code.

#

Haha, yeah, I have had hard times with that, too.

make your scripts case insensitive

shadow sapphire May 14, 2017, 4:10 AM

#

For sure! Especially when sometimes the wiki has the wrong shit, you gotta go copy/paste the shit from the editor.

doArtilleryFire needs config case? lol

_entry in parseSimpleArray toLower str _array

I'd laugh about it, but the BWA3 Leopard does the same :S

#

So a loop for something that happens twice a mission. 😃

Are they for actually touch down or for using the auto pilot to land?

@warm gorge it could be prevented with a keyDown event just like other arma default keybinds could be

warm gorge May 14, 2017, 3:18 PM

#

@spark phoenix Yeah I figured out which actionKeys value to use for it. Just a pain to handle it with combinations, such as the shift + t as default, but even then when people changed it to other combinations would be more of a pain

Hello,
how and from where does one remoteExec this: player addAction ["<t color='#FF0000'>Group Management</t>","disableSerialization; ([] call BIS_fnc_displayMission) createDisplay 'RscDisplayDynamicGroups'",nil,1,false,true,"",""]; so that every player on a dedicated server gets a Group Management text in their Action Menu (mouse wheel menu) from where they can then access the BIS Dynamic groups functionality?

spark phoenix May 14, 2017, 3:37 PM

#

@warm gorge here is one shit code that works

#

https://hastebin.com/enepuyikor.makefile

#

should work with any inputAction defined and any key combination

#

given that its a keyboard combo and not a mouse button

#

This is arguably the worst thing ive ever written so dont judge

dusk sage May 14, 2017, 3:39 PM

just include the header 😛 ?

spark phoenix May 14, 2017, 3:39 PM

its a live compile for the DIK_(key) so #define wouldnt work so i just parsed them all in as variables 🤣

worst thing ive ever written in the last 2 years of my life

using ids and names to block shift+T alt+T and normal characters

Is there a way of checking a player name and by his name determine which classname of vest give to him?

#

Do it for 20 players without running through all of them

jade abyss May 14, 2017, 5:34 PM

#

what?

tough abyss May 14, 2017, 5:35 PM

#

?

jade abyss May 14, 2017, 5:35 PM

#

Don't answer with a questionmark to a question^^

tough abyss May 14, 2017, 5:35 PM

#

I didn't know what to say though :I

jade abyss May 14, 2017, 5:35 PM

#

Is there a way of checking a player name and by his name determine which classname of vest give to him? <- ?

tough abyss May 14, 2017, 5:35 PM

#

here's an example

#

I want a player named "mark" to have the vests with the class name "tf24_marciras_assaulter_aor2_mark"

#

I have 6 versions of this classname, assaulter, grenadier, machineguner, etc,etc

#

I have 20+ classnames with other names than "mark"

jade abyss May 14, 2017, 5:38 PM

#

This "playername mark" part is confusing me

#

am just guessing what you mean

player addVest format["tf24_marciras_assaulter_aor2__%1", name player];```

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

tough abyss May 14, 2017, 5:39 PM

#

😮

#

that's it? .-.

jade abyss May 14, 2017, 5:39 PM

#

uhm, i guess. I still have no clue if that was helpfull or not^^

tough abyss May 14, 2017, 5:39 PM

#

get outta here

#

:I

jade abyss May 14, 2017, 5:39 PM

#

But the Syntax up there works

tough abyss May 14, 2017, 5:40 PM

#

yeah that's what I want

jade abyss May 14, 2017, 5:41 PM

#

(i still don't get, why a player needs the name "mark" to get that Vest. That still confuses me)

tough abyss May 14, 2017, 5:41 PM

#

so now let's say you are a player and your name is Dscha and I have a classname with "Dscha" in the end. it will be like player addVest "tf24_marciras_assaulter_aor2_dscha";

jade abyss May 14, 2017, 5:41 PM

#

Yep

tough abyss May 14, 2017, 5:41 PM

#

I made the vests have the player names on them

jade abyss May 14, 2017, 5:42 PM

#

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/profileName

profileName

tough abyss May 14, 2017, 5:42 PM

#

sorry I didn't say that in the begining

jade abyss May 14, 2017, 5:42 PM

#

wut? Don't make it yourself so hard.

#

You made that Vest yourself (have the MLOD?)

tough abyss May 14, 2017, 5:42 PM

#

no, I only re-textured it

jade abyss May 14, 2017, 5:43 PM

#

But you know.. there will be no Vest added ,when the name is not existing?

tough abyss May 14, 2017, 5:43 PM

#

it's possible to make the vest have the player name on it without this thing?

jade abyss May 14, 2017, 5:43 PM

#

Okay okay, wait

#

wait

#

So: You want a Texture on a Vest, that shows "Mark", "Grenadier" etc?

#

depending on, who wears it.

#

OR
do you want the names of that person (who is wearing it) on a Vest?

tough abyss May 14, 2017, 5:44 PM

#

do you want the names of that person on a Vest?

#

^ that

jade abyss May 14, 2017, 5:44 PM

#

Then...

#

don't do it that way

#

You end with ... erm... a few trillion names (and configs/Textures) or players don't receive a Vest

tough abyss May 14, 2017, 5:45 PM

#

I know, I mean only the players in-game will receive their own vests

jade abyss May 14, 2017, 5:46 PM

#

Outgame wouldn't make sense^^

tough abyss May 14, 2017, 5:46 PM

#

well yeah ><

jade abyss May 14, 2017, 5:46 PM

#

But what if a guy connects with "[GGH] HellBoyMasterLeetYOLOSwagL0rd" ?

#

^^

tough abyss May 14, 2017, 5:47 PM

#

oh

jade abyss May 14, 2017, 5:47 PM

#

I doubt you will have that in your Config, wich would result in:
tf24_marciras_assaulter_aor2_[GGH] HellBoyMasterLeetYOLOSwagL0rd

tough abyss May 14, 2017, 5:47 PM

#

right ><

jade abyss May 14, 2017, 5:47 PM

😂

#

(solution: I can't think of any, tbh. Not without draw3D, and that takes alot ofp erformance)

tough abyss May 14, 2017, 5:47 PM

#

I won't have that kind of name in my group since I force first names and last names

indigo snow May 14, 2017, 5:48 PM

#

ever open a phone book?

#

lots of those

tough abyss May 14, 2017, 5:48 PM

#

but you're still right

indigo snow May 14, 2017, 5:48 PM

#

shame you cant target vests with hiddenselections

#

would have been an avenue

tough abyss May 14, 2017, 5:48 PM

#

yeah

jade abyss May 14, 2017, 5:49 PM

#

Even if -> He only Retex them, so adding a HiddenSelection can't be added

tough abyss May 14, 2017, 5:49 PM

#

there's something else though. what if someone connects with a name I don't have

jade abyss May 14, 2017, 5:49 PM

#

unless he gets the MLOD (Source)

#

Thats what i said.

#

You end with ... erm... a few trillion names (and configs/Textures) or players don't receive a Vest

tough abyss May 14, 2017, 5:50 PM

#

it's quite different .-.

#

oh right nvm

#

pft

#

sooo

#

it's impossible?

jade abyss May 14, 2017, 5:50 PM

#

You better scratch that. Might be a nice idea, but not doable a) without mlod/Source file b) your current knowledge (no offense)

indigo snow May 14, 2017, 5:51 PM

#

for every name? yes. A select set of names, sure.

#

keep in mind that would be 6 or so full textures per name and filesize goes up fast

shadow sapphire May 14, 2017, 5:51 PM

#

How might I plug BIS_fnc_findSafePos into this?

[((getMarkerPos "M1") findEmptyPosition [20,50,"B_APC_Tracked_01_AA_F"]), 180, "B_APC_Tracked_01_AA_F", _G1] call bis_fnc_spawnvehicle;
Sleep 1;
[((getMarkerPos "M1") findEmptyPosition [20,50,"B_APC_Tracked_01_AA_F"]), 180, "B_APC_Tracked_01_AA_F", _G1] call bis_fnc_spawnvehicle;
Sleep 1;```

tough abyss May 14, 2017, 5:51 PM

#

@indigo snow yes

#

it's something like 50mB per name

indigo snow May 14, 2017, 5:52 PM

#

so 10 guys already half a GB

#

@shadow sapphire what do you want with it?

#

just use it to get you a position, you already use findEmptyPosition there

jade abyss May 14, 2017, 5:52 PM

#

50MB ????

#

What's the Size of the Texture 40960x40960?

indigo snow May 14, 2017, 5:53 PM

#

10MB textures 😄

shadow sapphire May 14, 2017, 5:53 PM

#

@indigo snow, I'm trying to spawn an armor troop, but after the first few tanks, they all start spawning inside each other. So, I'm trying to figure out an alternative command to keep them from spawning inside each other.

indigo snow May 14, 2017, 5:54 PM

#

plug ((getMarkerPos "M1") findEmptyPosition [20,50,"B_APC_Tracked_01_AA_F"]) into BIS_fnc_findSafePos

#

(or just spawn less tanks)

tough abyss May 14, 2017, 5:54 PM

#

it's actually 30 but it doesn't make any difference doesn't it? 😦

jade abyss May 14, 2017, 5:54 PM

#

Not rly, wayyyy to big

tough abyss May 14, 2017, 5:54 PM

#

well that's the size of the texture :I

shadow sapphire May 14, 2017, 5:55 PM

#

Spawning fewer tanks isn't really an option. If they don't have a full armor troop, it won't even be a challenge for my players.

indigo snow May 14, 2017, 5:56 PM

#

just plug that location into the other function then

tough abyss May 14, 2017, 5:56 PM

#

I have 14 textures for a name, 7 different camos * 2 textures of the model

indigo snow May 14, 2017, 5:56 PM

#

although im quite sure that other function already uses that command

shadow sapphire May 14, 2017, 5:56 PM

#

I don't understand the syntax. That's why I asked how to plug it in.

indigo snow May 14, 2017, 5:57 PM

#

look up BIS_fnc_findSafePos in the function viewer

shadow sapphire May 14, 2017, 5:57 PM

#

Really, I don't understand what center is or how to designate it.

indigo snow May 14, 2017, 5:57 PM

#

it takes like 9 arguments

#

center is probably just a position

#

the position it searches around

tough abyss May 14, 2017, 5:58 PM

#

although all of the struggle, there is no other method that takes the name of the player, checks if theres a classname with that name and if there is he will get the item with the name, if isn't he will get tf24_marciras_assaulter_aor2_noname?

shadow sapphire May 14, 2017, 5:58 PM

#

Right, but can I put my marker in there as center? I figure I'll just go ahead and try it.

indigo snow May 14, 2017, 5:59 PM

#

Adir thats easy to do with format amd some checks if the classes exist

#

DelJ you should check the function documentation

#

Cant know that by heart

tough abyss May 14, 2017, 6:00 PM

#

Alright, thanks @indigo snow and @jade abyss

shadow sapphire May 14, 2017, 6:00 PM

#

I'm staring at it, but I'm not a scripter, haha. I don't really understand it.

tough abyss May 14, 2017, 6:00 PM

#

I will try IFs and formats

jade abyss May 14, 2017, 6:00 PM

#

np

indigo snow May 14, 2017, 6:00 PM

#

isClass too

#

To check if the uniform classname exist before you try adding it

tough abyss May 14, 2017, 6:00 PM

#

thanks 😃

#

what about isNil ?

indigo snow May 14, 2017, 6:03 PM

#

Thats not relevant

#

That looks if a variable exists

tough abyss May 14, 2017, 6:03 PM

#

I don't fully understand how isClass works. isClass (configFile >> "cfgPatches" >> "addonClass")

indigo snow May 14, 2017, 6:03 PM

#

You point it at a config entry

tough abyss May 14, 2017, 6:04 PM

#

addonclass is the classname of the item?

indigo snow May 14, 2017, 6:04 PM

#

Since uniforms have config entries, in order to exist it should have a class

#

Yes but probably not in that place

#

Reference your config.cpp

#

Youll want the entry in cfgWeapons IIRC

tough abyss May 14, 2017, 6:06 PM

#

isClass (configFile >> "cfgWeapons" >> "tf24_marciras_assaulter_cptnnick_aor1")

shadow sapphire May 14, 2017, 6:18 PM

#

Update! BIS_fnc_findSafePos is vastly superior to findEmptyPosition.

Not even in the same league. If you ever have trouble with findEmptyPosition, use BIS_fnc_findSafePos instead.

austere hawk May 14, 2017, 6:54 PM

#

just use the clan or unit texture for this. Way better solution. Works on vanilla stuff too

#

give every guy a custom texture with whatever logo you want + his name in it

#

doesnt work on vests, but thats life. Who needs their name on headcap, uniform, weapon, vest, shoes... all at once? unless this is a dementia group...

inner swallow May 14, 2017, 9:22 PM

_Exp stuff comes from Apex. The rest of the DLC stuff everyone has anyway

hmmm i don't suppose

{

if (configSourceMod (typeOf _x) == "tanoa") then {/*do something*/};

} forEach all3DENEntities select {typeOf _x == "structure"};```

would work? I know "tanoa" and "structure" are probably the wrong strings to use, but will `(configSourceMod (typeOf _x)` work or is the full path required?

still forum May 14, 2017, 10:01 PM

#

I'm very sure it needs full path

#

It's not like the BIKI examples only show full paths. And It's also not like that command expects config and typeOf returns a string...

#

I guess you can answer that question yourself 😉

inner swallow May 14, 2017, 10:10 PM

#

yeah that's what i was thinking too, but was hoping/wishing that it work regardless 😛

#

so is it a good assumption that there's no way to querry addons without knowing the full config path?

still forum May 14, 2017, 10:16 PM

#

Yeah.. But getting full config path is not that hard.. Structures are CfgVehicles afaik

inner swallow May 14, 2017, 10:17 PM

#

I see.

#

Would mods be consistent about this? Assuming non-BIS mods are involved.

still forum May 14, 2017, 10:21 PM

#

It's not possible to have vehicles outside of CfgVehicles..

#

So... I suppose that Mods would be somewhat consistent in having vehicles in CfgVehicles..

inner swallow May 14, 2017, 10:22 PM

Cool, thanks for the help, will see if i can get something to work.

Is there a command to tell AI pilots to fly with anti collision lights on or would anti collision lights turn on automatically when set to safe or careless?

#

Thanks

vapid frigate May 15, 2017, 1:43 AM

#

use forEach?

#

or if you really want to make it a multidimentional array, _newArray = _oldArray apply { [_x, 20] };

#

err nvm, think i misunderstood

#

from your 20 example

#

which i think should have been 15

#

i don't know of a good way (just counting/removing them)

#

need to keep the array in tact?

#

only way i know is probably messier

#

would have to use while count array > 0 instead of foreach, and

array = array - [array select 0];```

tough abyss May 15, 2017, 2:04 AM

#

@tough abyss on my phone, but how about this?

array = [["magname", 4], ["magname2", 2]];
{
     entity addMag [_x select 0, _x select 1];
} forEach array

#

Randomize quantity and class?

#

pushBackUnique may be useful?

#

Nice

#

What's the implementation for this?

#

Ok, gotcha

#

Should work nicely. Don't see the network fingerprint being much tbh

#

Never seen selectRandomWeighted before.

#

For sure.

#

Are you limited to adding 1 item x quantity every time?

#

Would be nice for it to take an array

warm gorge May 15, 2017, 6:54 AM

#

For regularly getting values such as prices of weapons/items/vehicles etc, would I be better off using 2 dimensional arrays or configs with getNumber/getArray etc?

dusk sage May 15, 2017, 7:04 AM

#

That depends if they're arrays or not? 😛

warm gorge May 15, 2017, 7:04 AM

#

What do you mean @dusk sage

dusk sage May 15, 2017, 7:04 AM

#

You're asking if you should use getNumber or getArray

#

Oh right

#

Misread

warm gorge May 15, 2017, 7:05 AM

#

yea

dusk sage May 15, 2017, 7:05 AM

#

It's your preference

#

How would you feel more comfortable doing it? There is no 'better' way

warm gorge May 15, 2017, 7:05 AM

#

Just wasnt sure if it was faster one way or the other

dusk sage May 15, 2017, 7:06 AM

#

Most people use configs (personally I'd say it's more elegant, unless you want to fill up your namespaces with invididual names)

#

You're talking negligible times

vapid frigate May 15, 2017, 7:51 AM

#

i think usually you're better off using configs, because otherwise you sorta have to search in SQF

#

which is gonna be slow

#

(unless you use some sort of index.. but it gets messy)

#

having it in a variable does have the advantage of being able to edit it on the fly though

tough abyss May 15, 2017, 8:32 AM

#

How would I go about applying code using forEach to each unit in an array of groups?

#

forEach units group _spawnedUnits doesn't seem right...

vapid frigate May 15, 2017, 8:35 AM

#

{
     _group = group _x;
     {
          _unit = _x;
          //your code
     } foreach units _group;
} foreach _spawnedUnits;```

#

(_group and _unit are just to make it clearer)

tough abyss May 15, 2017, 8:37 AM

#

Hm, ok. Thank you.

vapid frigate May 15, 2017, 8:37 AM

#

err sorry that's for if _spawnedUnits is an array of groups like you said

#

would have to be _group = group _x; if it's actually an array of units

tough abyss May 15, 2017, 8:38 AM

#

Will I have to adress every unit as in the code as _unit or is it still _x?

vapid frigate May 15, 2017, 8:38 AM

#

inside that foreach, it will be both

#

you can remove the _unit = _x if you want

#

{
     {
          //your code
     } foreach units group _x;
} foreach _spawnedUnits;```

would also work

tough abyss May 15, 2017, 8:39 AM

#

Thanks.

vapid frigate May 15, 2017, 8:41 AM

#

that will do groups/units multiple times though (ie 10 guys in 1 group in _spawnedUnits will run your code 10 times on each guy)

tough abyss May 15, 2017, 8:41 AM

#

Eh... that's kinda bad.

vapid frigate May 15, 2017, 8:41 AM

#

yeah, depending on what you're doing

tough abyss May 15, 2017, 8:42 AM

#

Basically this ```SQF
#include "script_component.hpp"

private _i = 0; // Private loop number var, so we can hint it later
_spawnedGroups = [];

// Froup spawning loop
for [{_i = 0}, {_i <= 5}, {_i = _i + 1}] do {
// Select random pos at a max distance from player
_aiPos = [player, GVAR(maxDistance)] call CBA_fnc_randPos;

// Check if pos is too close or if pos is on water, if so exit loop
if (((player distance _aiPos) < GVAR(minDistance)) || surfaceIsWater _aiPos) exitWith {};

// If above is false, spawn defined groups
_dummyGroup = [_aiPos, GVAR(groupSide), GVAR(groupArray)] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;

// Move spawned group into array, for which code will be ran on each element
_spawnedGroups pushBack _dummyGroup;

};

// Apply code to spawned units
if (GVAR(unitCode) != "") then {
{
{
call compile GVAR(unitCode);
} forEach units group _x;
} _spawnedGroups;
};

// Hint how many groups were spawned based on number of loops, max is 5
systemChat format ["Created %1 groups", _i];

vapid frigate May 15, 2017, 8:43 AM

#

private _allUnits = [];
{
     {
          _allUnits pushBackUnique _x;
     } foreach units group _x;
} foreach _spawnedUnits;

{
     //your code
} foreach _allUnits;

tough abyss May 15, 2017, 8:44 AM

#

So code will only be ran on units inside _allUnits?

vapid frigate May 15, 2017, 8:44 AM

#

yep, which is all units 1 time (because pushBackUnique)

tough abyss May 15, 2017, 8:44 AM

#

Nice.

vapid frigate May 15, 2017, 8:44 AM

#

all the units in all the groups that _spawnedUnits are in that is

#

looks like you have _spawnedGroups, not _spawnedUnits though?

tough abyss May 15, 2017, 8:46 AM

#

Yes.

vapid frigate May 15, 2017, 8:46 AM

#

then if the groups are already unique, you can just use

#

{
     {
          //your code
     } foreach units _x;
} foreach _spawnedGroups;```

#

otherwise you can make them unique by adding _spawnedGroups arrayIntersect _spawnedGroups at the top

tough abyss May 15, 2017, 8:48 AM

#

They're spawned using BIS_fnc_spawnGroup so they're already unique.

#

As seen using diag_log ```
11:25:41 "SPAWNED UNITS: [B Alpha 1-4], DUMMY GROUP: B Alpha 1-4"
11:25:41 "SPAWNED UNITS: [B Alpha 1-4,B Alpha 1-5], DUMMY GROUP: B Alpha 1-5"
11:25:41 "SPAWNED UNITS: [B Alpha 1-4,B Alpha 1-5,B Alpha 1-6], DUMMY GROUP: B Alpha 1-6"
11:25:41 "SPAWNED UNITS: [B Alpha 1-4,B Alpha 1-5,B Alpha 1-6,B Alpha 2-1], DUMMY GROUP: B Alpha 2-1"
11:25:41 "SPAWNED UNITS: [B Alpha 1-4,B Alpha 1-5,B Alpha 1-6,B Alpha 2-1,B Alpha 2-2], DUMMY GROUP: B Alpha 2-2"
11:25:41 "SPAWNED UNITS: [B Alpha 1-4,B Alpha 1-5,B Alpha 1-6,B Alpha 2-1,B Alpha 2-2,B Alpha 2-3], DUMMY GROUP: B Alpha 2-3"

#

It's meant to be "SPAWNED GROUPS" 😛

vapid frigate May 15, 2017, 8:50 AM

#

yeh then the last one i pasted should work

#

without the arrayintersect

Is there a way of figuring out a PBO location on disk through scripting?

tough abyss May 15, 2017, 2:24 PM

#

Quick question, is this proper?

private _someCode "
    // Some Code Here
";

[[], call compile _someCode] remoteExec ["spawn", _owner];

still forum May 15, 2017, 2:25 PM

#

private _someCode = "

But I'm not sure if you can do multiline strings like that

tough abyss May 15, 2017, 2:26 PM

#

Tested in debug console

#

Guess so

#

myString = "
this is a 
multilinestring
";

myString:

"
this is a 
multilinestring
"

#

But true, I guess I don't need the call. Thanks

Hello there so i am developing atm a dynamic campaign with use of extDB and i am currently working on the player persistance, i am thinking at the moment about how i will call the script if i use for that initPlayerServer.sqf , initPlayerLocal.sqf or init with an MissionEventHandler like PlayerConnected and Disconnected

tough abyss May 15, 2017, 2:41 PM

#

You can do it either way @gray thistle

#

Server needs to setup connection to db

gray thistle May 15, 2017, 2:42 PM

#

This is already done and the Data is already recived is just need to think about the execution

tough abyss May 15, 2017, 2:42 PM

#

Client can request to server to get the information. Server gets it and sends it back to the client.

gray thistle May 15, 2017, 2:43 PM

#

So i have my functions ready and tested now i want to know a good way to execute the functions and there are more than one possibilty it seems

#

And i am not asking for the perfect code just for informations about the pros and cons of each possibility

tough abyss May 15, 2017, 2:45 PM

#

Client:

[_uid, _sender] remoteExec ["query_fnc_checkPlayer", 2];

Server:

// Code for getting result from db if they exist
[_playerExists] remoteExecCall ["process_fnc_playerCheckReturn", (owner _sender)];

Client:

if (_playerExists) then {
    // Have them query the data
    [_pid, _sender] remoteExec ["query_fnc_getPlayerData", 2];
} else {
    [] call Process_fnc_newPlayerSetup; // Does a similar thing as ^ but inserts new player
};

#

Personally the process I go about with getting it.

gray thistle May 15, 2017, 2:46 PM

#

i am working quiet diffrently since i use extDB3

tough abyss May 15, 2017, 2:46 PM

#

As do I

#

I have the server run a server only mod for handling the transfer of data, etc.

#

Client just sends requests and handles returns

gray thistle May 15, 2017, 2:51 PM

#

sure i thought in the beginning about a init which saves all 5 minutes for each player their progress if they are already in the DB, let them either insert & update while getting on the server the first time, and give them a action to save for themselfs if they want to be sure, also well on the disconnect

tough abyss May 15, 2017, 2:52 PM

#

Easily done, just loop every 5 minutes and run [PASS DATA HERE] remoteExec ["query_fnc_updatePlayer", 2];

#

Server needs to know what query_fnc_updatePlayer is and run it, which inputs data into db.

gray thistle May 15, 2017, 2:55 PM

#

sure, this is the easiest part of all already have done that with some enviroment part

while {true} do {
sleep 60;
[] call ser_fn_updateingametime;
};

@gray thistle

👍

gray thistle May 15, 2017, 2:57 PM

#

i don't know much of the remoteExec part yet but i am learning still this is the first project and since i am often throw code awy and create a new one cause of new informations this isn't a big issue

#

also you brought in some ideas already about one part

#

if a player joins on the server is it faster to load or insert data over an eventscript like initplayerServer.sqf or an eventhandler like PlayerConnected

#

i mean such task only have to be executed once

jade abyss May 15, 2017, 3:02 PM

#

initplayerServer.sqf

#

OR:
Use in the mission folder the
initPlayerLocal.sqf
Player connects -> blackScreen+waitUntil{VAR} (maybe input disabled later?) -> Send a request to the Server vis IPL.sqf -> Let the Server handle the stuff, send it back to player via remoteExec -> after Vars are set (or Gear assigned, or whatever you wanna do) -> server sends (again REC) VAR = True -> blackscreen dissapears and Player input is enabled again -> profit

#

roughly written

gray thistle May 15, 2017, 3:06 PM

#

I think for that task initPlayerServer will do better the other option is a bit like working around a corner

#

and since it is a one time task for each player and it won't have frequently changes like KoTH the server should be handling it perfectly

jade abyss May 15, 2017, 3:08 PM

#

Do as you please ¯_(ツ)_/¯

gray thistle May 15, 2017, 3:11 PM

#

It's just idea gathering for an Military Roleplay Campaign (ZEUS) ^^ i trying to get some ideas with the help of you since i don't know about the most stuff i am glad about that. Is there a idea about the disconnect part? I just seen yet a MissionEventhandler and OnDisconnect which is mostly the same i seens just with a diffrence that it is stackable

austere granite May 15, 2017, 3:14 PM

#

check the wiki, it explains it perfectly

gray thistle May 15, 2017, 3:14 PM

#

Oh hello there Adanteh ^^

#

Okay maybe the Handler HandleDisconnect seems the way because it contains the unit not sure about the override part

gray thistle May 15, 2017, 6:11 PM

#

player addaction["<t color='#FF0000'>Save</t>", {call ser_fn_updateplayernato;},[],0];``` can someone tell me why the UAV Terminal is still under this action? This only happens when i use the init script if i execute it over the cosole it is at the right place

Would the receiving function treat these two calls the same in terms of the arguments? I see the [] used sometimes and sometimes not, but I'm not sure of the consequences.

_arguments = [_foo, _bear, _swim];
_arguments spawn tag_fnc_doLotsOfStuff;

vs. this call

_arguments = [_foo, _bear, _swim];
[_arguments] spawn tag_fnc_doLotsOfStuff;

to be fair, I'm using CBA IS_ARRAY() macro to test, but everywhere that helper works fine

it's not the macro

Is it ok to declare array's private?

maybe it's the original declaration that is messing it up

Just pass the value of the variable in instead of the name.
private (_vars apply {_x select 0}); What is this?`

#

Setting up an array containing the string names of local variables, probably.

#

Seems an array with [["_a"],value] pairs

drowsy hollow May 16, 2017, 12:44 PM

yes, it's a list of all local variables, which might be used for the calculations in _expression

in simplified terms, it's to sum up an array (optionally with a more complicated expression)

Anybody know, if intersect is broken or not?

#

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/intersect

Descr. says:

Return Value: Array - array of intersections in format: [[selection, distance],...], where
...
The results are also sorted, closest selection first

No matter what, i get 1 back max.

intersect

rancid ruin May 16, 2017, 7:29 PM

#

90% sure it wasn't broken a few months ago, not sure about now

#

disregard, i was thinking of lineIntersectsObjs

jade abyss May 16, 2017, 7:30 PM

#

Yeah

#

hm, also select just the one, wich is the furthest away

@BoGuu#1044 the panels have been a problem since day 1 even on the dev, rc revisions. Dunno.

#

@grand berry is it available on the function viewer? I was very intreaged by it as well, just no documented parameters.

jade abyss May 16, 2017, 7:39 PM

#

hm, with LOD "FIRE" it detects both, GEOM and VIEW not. strange

grand berry May 16, 2017, 7:47 PM

#

@subtle ore not sure, will give it a look in a minute

abstract sigil May 16, 2017, 7:59 PM

#

@here did anyone ever suggest "BOOL := is64Bit()" as a script command?

#

or integrate it into productVersion() ?

#

(let me guess. i am dumb and it is already in productVersion() ?)

#

^ confirmed

#

that is what happens when you dont look into arma for half a year

vague hull May 16, 2017, 8:03 PM

#

I wouldn't call the state of being dumb temporary

rancid ruin May 16, 2017, 8:17 PM

#

what?

jade abyss May 16, 2017, 8:23 PM

#

@austere hawk The annoying part is: You rly have to filter out the dmg... no clue why 0 dmg is beeing in the HandleDamage EH anyway :/

austere hawk May 16, 2017, 8:29 PM

#

it returns the current damage... i only just realized this now

#

this makes this EH super useless in trying to detect how much damage was actually caused

jade abyss May 16, 2017, 8:30 PM

#

Yes and No. You have to store the current Dmg in the Vehicle itself (setVar).
Still -> Messy as hell and nonsense

austere hawk May 16, 2017, 8:31 PM

#

yes i was thinking that. I just dont get the point. Why do you need to return current damage? It can be easily read with getHit and the equivalent commands when you have a selection.

jade abyss May 16, 2017, 8:34 PM

#

e.g. if you wanna negate dmg (safezone etc.). Otherwise the dmg could restore that Hitpoint to 0 again.

#

or when you wanna alter the Dmg handled itself (e.g. reduced dmg from bullets)

#

+"when you have a selection." <- thats also a strange thing, sometimes the selection is an emptry string.

#

Same with the _hitPartIndex (wich can be -1)

austere hawk May 16, 2017, 8:40 PM

#

empty selections are either wrongly configged hitpoints, or global Hitpoints

#

if hitpartindex is -1 its global hitpoints, otherwise not

jade abyss May 16, 2017, 8:41 PM

#

iirc i tested with Vanilla Vehicles

austere hawk May 16, 2017, 8:43 PM

#

like i said, you can easily get the hitpoints by different means and also find pretty well what part is actually meant. What you cant get easily is the damage caused, at least not without pointless checking of every hitpoint every hit, custom variable writing and reading (needs to be globally synched after all...)

zinc fossil May 16, 2017, 8:45 PM

#

Anyone here messed around with making extensions for arma?

jade abyss May 16, 2017, 8:45 PM

#

"What you cant get easily is the damage caused" <- _damage - oldDmg 😄 happy workaround again

#

#arma3_tools <-- prolly better place to ask Bornasm

zinc fossil May 16, 2017, 8:46 PM

#

Alright will do, thanks 😃

austere hawk May 16, 2017, 8:50 PM

#

@jade abyss and where do you get oldDmg from?

jade abyss May 16, 2017, 8:51 PM

#

mom

subtle ore May 16, 2017, 8:53 PM

#

Your mom gave you oldDmg Dscha? What a lucky boy 😀

jade abyss May 16, 2017, 8:54 PM

#

roughly ripped apart:
mom

austere hawk May 16, 2017, 8:56 PM

#

oh, i thought the hitpoint already has updated values when the EH triggers. apparently it doesnt. just tested it

#

ok that makes things alot easier

jade abyss May 16, 2017, 8:57 PM

#

Could be that. Last time was ~4-5 weeks ago, that i touched it. Confused myself

params["_unit","_hitSelection","_damage","_source","_Projectile","_hitPartIndex","_instigator","_hitPoint"];

_NewDamage = _unit getVariable ["CurrentDamage",0];
if( _damage > 0 )then
{
    if(isNull _source || {_source isEqualTo _unit})then
    {
        _NewDamage = _NewDamage + _damage;
    };
    _unit setVariable ["CurrentDamage",_NewDamage];
};
_NewDamage```

#

no clue why i have that isNull _source in it... hm...

#

i tend to confuse myself pretty often oO

#

dafuq did i wrote there?

austere hawk May 16, 2017, 8:59 PM

#

no, i mean i used getHit for the hitpoint, and it returns the "old" value that was there before the handledamage

#

no setVariable

jade abyss May 16, 2017, 8:59 PM

#

Could work also. No clue. I still try to figure out what i did there 😑

austere hawk May 16, 2017, 8:59 PM

#

it does work, i just tested it

#

except now i feel pretty stupid... or bad at reading. Welp, at least the fix to my script is easy now.

jade abyss May 16, 2017, 9:00 PM

#

At least (dafuq did i wrote there...)

#

AH!

#

        {
            _NewDamage = _NewDamage + _damage;
        }```
= When crashing with your Car against a wall

#

(got a dmg modifier, thats why i need that)

austere hawk May 16, 2017, 9:03 PM

#

isnt there a config param for that?

#

epe something

#

wlep, fix to script easy, except now i have to retune all my damage values. Great fun.

jade abyss May 16, 2017, 9:04 PM

#

epe available in non-Dev?

austere hawk May 16, 2017, 9:05 PM

#

epeImpulseDamageCoef = 30;

jade abyss May 16, 2017, 9:05 PM

#

whats that now. Oh my

#

epeImpulseDamageCoef
int≥0, (PhysX)

<?>Undocumented: the name suggests this is a coefficient influencing how much damage the vehicle takes from physics-controlled impacts (i.e. crashing into a wall, another vehicle, etc.). Higher numbers suggest the vehicle takes more damage from such events.

#

dang hitpoint sys

austere hawk May 16, 2017, 9:08 PM

#

i'm used to it now. considering i thought there was yet another bug that i had to circumvent and now i dont, i feel even slightly better about it 😄

lunar mountain May 16, 2017, 9:17 PM

#

Greetings. Any config entry which helps me decide if a vehicle is actually a DLC/Expansion vehicle or not? Using configsourcemod command now, but I think that's not 100% reliable. Eg: m-900 shows up as Apex. I think the non-civ classnames were added in Apex, original was in Heli DLC, but not even sure if it needs heli dlc.

austere hawk May 16, 2017, 9:19 PM

#

every DLC weapon has a special icon in EDEN. So maybe you could search for all the DLC icon pathnames?

little eagle May 16, 2017, 9:20 PM

#

The config entry is named "dlc".

austere hawk May 16, 2017, 9:20 PM

#

pahhh too easy 😄

lunar mountain May 16, 2017, 9:20 PM

#

yes, Jets DLC doesn't have it

#

AND

#

although it's not vehicle, but some Apex objects which are in the vanilla package (so you don't need to have or download APEX) actually has them

austere hawk May 16, 2017, 9:21 PM

#

the icons or the classname?

lunar mountain May 16, 2017, 9:21 PM

#

the DLC config entry 😄

#

eg dlc = "expansion"

#

just looking for a reliable way to tell if they are DLC locked or not without testing eveything

little eagle May 16, 2017, 9:23 PM

#

Sounds like a problem with the Jets DLC then.

#

Try this?

#

configSourceModList (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> "B_Plane_Fighter_01_Stealth_F")
-> ["jets"]

lunar mountain May 16, 2017, 9:24 PM

#

yes, that's what I tried

little eagle May 16, 2017, 9:24 PM

#

....and?

lunar mountain May 16, 2017, 9:24 PM

#

as far as I can tell, it's still not representing actually if it's dlc locked, but testing it now

little eagle May 16, 2017, 9:27 PM

#

private _test = "B_Plane_Fighter_01_Stealth_F" createVehicleLocal [0,0,0];
private _result = getObjectDLC _test;
deleteVehicle _test;
_result

-1
hmm

lunar mountain May 16, 2017, 9:28 PM

#

yeah, that would be the usual hacky workaround 😛

little eagle May 16, 2017, 9:28 PM

#

Yeah, but it doesn't work.

#

Seems like it's broken. Probably BECAUSE the DLC config entry is missing.

austere hawk May 16, 2017, 9:29 PM

#

jet dlc isnt deployed yet, is it? maybe thats why

little eagle May 16, 2017, 9:29 PM

#

Oh, but I'm on 1.70 and the planes are in the game 😐

austere hawk May 16, 2017, 9:30 PM

#

stable?

lunar mountain May 16, 2017, 9:30 PM

#

eg: Land_IRMaskingCover_01_F . It's in the vanilla game without Apex, shown up as apex, showing "expansion"

little eagle May 16, 2017, 9:30 PM

#

["Arma 3","Arma3",170,141764,"Stable",true,"Windows","x64"]

#

And I just created a "B_Plane_Fighter_01_Stealth_F"

lunar mountain May 16, 2017, 9:30 PM

#

I_C_Heli_Light_01_civil_F is Apex "content", also you can get into it without Apex

#

this is my actual problem

austere hawk May 16, 2017, 9:30 PM

#

hm ok then i wonder why i still get the DLC warning even though i have the DLC - which i thought way because Steam doesnt "know" the BI pack yet

#

but propably unrelated then

little eagle May 16, 2017, 9:31 PM

#

getText (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> "I_C_Heli_Light_01_civil_F" >> "dlc")

#

"Expansion"

lunar mountain May 16, 2017, 9:32 PM

#

yes, but it's not

little eagle May 16, 2017, 9:32 PM

#

That was APEX, no?

lunar mountain May 16, 2017, 9:32 PM

#

😄

#

it is APEX, because Apex added the independent one, but it's not DLC locked

little eagle May 16, 2017, 9:32 PM

#

private _test = "I_C_Heli_Light_01_civil_F" createVehicleLocal [0,0,0];
private _result = getObjectDLC _test;
deleteVehicle _test;
_result

lunar mountain May 16, 2017, 9:32 PM

#

yes, this is it

#

manually creating the list, here I come

little eagle May 16, 2017, 9:33 PM

#

reports nil

lunar mountain May 16, 2017, 9:33 PM

#

I mean, I know it works

#

but for example.. for an ingame vehicle shop... it might not be the best idea to create every listed vehicle locally to test if it's DLC content, right? 😄

austere hawk May 16, 2017, 9:34 PM

#

i would make a request for a function to BI if you dont find something that works easily. This seems like something they should provide and maintain.

#

if you get lucky you have killzone kid jump on it and have it the next day ^^

little eagle May 16, 2017, 9:36 PM

#

I thought maybe "dlc" is ignored when inherited like "author" is, but:

#

getText (configProperties [configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> "I_C_Heli_Light_01_civil_F", "true", false] select {configName _x == "dlc"} param [0, configNull])

#

"Expansion"

lunar mountain May 16, 2017, 9:37 PM

#

I made a "layout" editor for our multiplayer mission. General rule that you cannot place Apex objects on Altis/Stratis, as it would need the players to have Apex expansion. But there are Apex, but not apex objects. I basically disabled Apex and listed all the addon/pbo names and created a whitelist 😄

#

I just wanted to avoid such solution

austere hawk May 16, 2017, 9:38 PM

#

that heli it part of the dlc, so "expansion" is not wrong, but its of the free part

little eagle May 16, 2017, 9:39 PM

#

That could be it, but then how to determine if you have access to an object?

#

getObjectDLC alone?

#

Requires an object and not classname.

#

Also a bit tricky to handle since it reports nil.

lunar mountain May 16, 2017, 9:40 PM

#

nil can be handled if you expect it 😃

little eagle May 16, 2017, 9:40 PM

#

And -1 for the jets, so maybe they haven't come up with a id for the DLC yet.

lunar mountain May 16, 2017, 9:40 PM

#

well, they have an id

little eagle May 16, 2017, 9:40 PM

#

-1

#

seems more like a placeholder

#

or what I would've used instead of nil

#

confusing, confusing

lunar mountain May 16, 2017, 9:41 PM

#

id is basically the appID of the steam game

#

it's 601670

#

oh it really returns -1

#

the heck 😄

little eagle May 16, 2017, 9:42 PM

#

_plane = cursorObject;

[isDLCAvailable getObjectDLC _plane] param [0, true]

#

That's the magic words, but it needs an object. Classname insufficient.

lunar mountain May 16, 2017, 9:45 PM

#

isShowingWatermarksIfIequipIt

little eagle May 16, 2017, 9:46 PM

#

Yeah. No idea what you'd use for weapons.

#

And items etc.

lunar mountain May 16, 2017, 9:47 PM

#

I think there was something for the weapons, but I'm not sure anymore

little eagle May 16, 2017, 9:49 PM

#

The classnames are listed in configfile >> "CfgMods" >> "Jets" >> "Assets" in arrays in subclasses.

lunar mountain May 16, 2017, 9:49 PM

#

hm

little eagle May 16, 2017, 9:49 PM

#

Including weapons. Not for jets DLC, but for marksemen at least.

lunar mountain May 16, 2017, 9:50 PM

#

but does that mean only those are locked?

little eagle May 16, 2017, 9:50 PM

#

I think that's how it's done.

#

reference[] = {"CfgVehicles","B_Plane_Fighter_01_F"};

#

configfile >> "CfgMods" >> "Jets" >> "Assets" >> "DLCJetsBluforFighterJet" >> "reference"

#

tryAsset[] = {1,"B_Fighter_Pilot_F","B_Plane_Fighter_01_F"};

#

configfile >> "CfgMods" >> "Jets" >> "Assets" >> "DLCJetsBluforFighterJet" >> "tryAsset"

#

For weapons you could've used this on a dummy:
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/getPersonUsedDLCs

getPersonUsedDLCs

#

BUT

#

This command is broken and doesnt work on dedicated server

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

lunar mountain May 16, 2017, 9:53 PM

#

I relly just want a command where I can put vehicle/weapon/magazine/whatever classname and get the DLC(s)

#

anyways... it conforms me a little that I wasn't just not paying attention and it is actually a real issue

little eagle May 16, 2017, 9:55 PM

#

Well there are all the assets to hack something together.

lunar mountain May 16, 2017, 9:56 PM

#

assuming they are only showing the dlc locked assets

little eagle May 16, 2017, 9:57 PM

#

Pretty confident in that. The heli you mentioned for example is not listed in configfile >> "CfgMods" >> "Expansion" >> "Assets" >>

lunar mountain May 16, 2017, 9:59 PM

#

configfile >> "CfgMods" >> "Heli" >> "Assets" >> "DLCBcivilianHeli"

#

tryAsset[] = {1,"C_Man_Pilot_F","C_Heli_Light_01_civil_F"};

#

C_Heli_Light_01_civil_F is not DLC locked 😛

little eagle May 16, 2017, 10:03 PM

#

Shrug

#

What do I know. Maybe it's woven into the models.

lunar mountain May 16, 2017, 10:05 PM

#

possibly

warm gorge May 17, 2017, 5:43 AM

#

Anyone know the difference between using RscDisplayDebug and RscDisplayDebugPublic?

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 6:53 AM

#

Well, RscDisplayDebugPublic is inherited from RscDisplayDebug @warm gorge

#

Essentially, exactly the same. You get all the RscDisplayDebug stuff with RscDisplayDebugPublic

warm gorge May 17, 2017, 6:54 AM

#

Was just wondering if something was changed, because I use createDialog with it in an admin menu which no longer works

#

Shows nothing but a cancel button at the bottom so wasnt sure if it was changed or something

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 6:55 AM

#

createDialog "RscDisplayDebugPublic";?

warm gorge May 17, 2017, 6:55 AM

#

yes

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 6:55 AM

#

That is very strange, tried it yesterday. Worked fine.

#

Are you on a mod?

warm gorge May 17, 2017, 6:55 AM

#

Worked fine up until this update, and no no mods. Vanilla arma

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 6:55 AM

#

Do you have it on escape in 3DEN?

warm gorge May 17, 2017, 6:55 AM

#

Works fine in singleplayer, but not in multiplayer

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 6:55 AM

#

It's the same files

#

In singleplayer and multiplayer

#

IIRC

warm gorge May 17, 2017, 6:56 AM

#

In singleplayer it works fine both through createDialog and escape menu, however on a mp server it doesnt display it properly.

#

On a different topic, is there any way to control the capabilities of vehicle radars? I cant find any scripting commands or difficulty settings regarding it

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 7:01 AM

#

I can't remember, but I would advice checking the changelog 1.70

warm gorge May 17, 2017, 7:23 AM

#

@rotund cypress Come to think of it, could my issue have something to do with the user not being a logged in admin? Related to these security improvements

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 7:23 AM

#

if you are using createDialog, shouldn't have an effect.

warm gorge May 17, 2017, 7:23 AM

#

Yeah hmm

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 7:24 AM

#

I'll double check for you one sec

#

In your debug console, do call BIS_fnc_isDebugConsoleAllowed

#

But hmm, you don't have access to it anyways

#

One sce

#

I cannot remember if that was there before

#

But that is the check upon opening it

warm gorge May 17, 2017, 7:26 AM

#

I noticed that that script was changed

#

Which is why im thinking it might be the case

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 7:29 AM

#

Ye so, BIS_fnc_isDebugConsoleAllowed is now blocking it.

#

[
    "DebugConsole", 
    getMissionConfigValue ["enableDebugConsole", 0]
] 
call (missionNamespace getVariable "BIS_fnc_getParamValue");```

#

try putting enableDebugConsole = 1; in description.ext and see if that solves your problem.

warm gorge May 17, 2017, 7:35 AM

#

@rotund cypress Yeah making myself an admin seems to work. Do you know if its possible to have multiple admins logged in at once?

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 7:36 AM

#

No you cannot be logged in multiple at once

#

However, you can assign preset UIDs in server.cfg in order to not have to input password when logging in.

warm gorge May 17, 2017, 7:37 AM

#

Will that work for multiple admins? Because im gonna need to allow debug console for certain players

#

Will be extremely painful having only 1 person to access debug console at one time

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 7:37 AM

#

I could suggest to copy/paste the debug console into your mission and remove the BIS_fnc_isDebugConsoleAllowed

warm gorge May 17, 2017, 7:38 AM

#

Where can I find the full class for it

#

Console viewer displays it weirdly

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 7:39 AM

#

Well, it is in ui_f

#

Under RscDisplayDebug

#

And RscDisplayDebugPublic

#

Then you need the function which handles the debug console. Which is located at ui_f/scripts/GUI/RscDisplayDebug.sqf

warm gorge May 17, 2017, 7:41 AM

#

Alright ill give this a go

#

@rotund cypress Having trouble finding RscDisplayDebugPublic.hpp, however I did find the .sqf

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 7:45 AM

#

It's in the ui_f / config.bin

#

Which you will need A3 Tools CfgConvert in order to convert to a cpp

#

Then in there RscDisplayDebug and RscDisplayDebugPublic will be located

warm gorge May 17, 2017, 7:52 AM

#

@rotund cypress Found the class, so the onLoad/onUnload calls BIS_fnc_initDisplay, I assume that then calls the RscDebugConsole.sqf?

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 7:52 AM

#

Yep

#

So just do the following

#

[_this, "onLoad"] execVM "location of RscDIsplayDebug.sqf";

#

Put that in onLoad

warm gorge May 17, 2017, 7:54 AM

#

Alright sweet time to give it a go

#

Ill let you know how it goes

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 7:55 AM

#

I think I jacked up big time

#

RscDisplayDebug does not check function BIS_fnc_isDebugEnabled

#

I was looking in wrong debug console script

#

(RscDebugConsole.sqf)

#

So there shouldn't be an issue, but give it a go if you want

warm gorge May 17, 2017, 8:00 AM

#

@rotund cypress It must be called somewhere for it to be preventing access. If its not in RscDisplayDebug.sqf then I dont think this will work lo.

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 8:01 AM

#

RscDisplayDebug is the script called when doing createDialog "RscDisplayDEbugPublic"

#

RscDebugConsole.sqf is the script called when pressing escape if I think correctly

#

So that would be why that is doing a check for isDebugConsoleAllowed

warm gorge May 17, 2017, 8:02 AM

#

RscDebugConsole.sqf contains onLoad and onUnload modes. Just having trouble finding any checks to see if the player is admin in this script

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 8:03 AM

#

It has checks in RscDebugConsole, it does not have checks in RscDisplayDebug

warm gorge May 17, 2017, 8:03 AM

#

Ah yeah I see what you mean now

#

Just trying to find where RscDebugConsole is called

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 8:05 AM

#

look at RscDisplayPause

warm gorge May 17, 2017, 8:12 AM

#

Yeah this is ridiculous. This debugConsoleAllowed check is in the actual code execution scripts as well. Ill have to message Killzone Kid about this causse I noticed he wrote a couple of these scripts. Theres gotta be a way for multiple admins to access the debug console

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 8:12 AM

#

There isn't.

#

Not with the one in Pause Menu

#

It is however possible with createDialog "RscDisplayDebugPublic"

warm gorge May 17, 2017, 8:13 AM

#

Its not though because the buttons on it (Local exec, global exec, server exec) dont work unless the user is an admin (checked through isDebugConsoleAllowed)

#

Im looking at the updated execution scripts for all the buttons now

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 8:14 AM

#

The buttons wont work in MP if you don't have call in CfgRemoteExec

warm gorge May 17, 2017, 8:14 AM

#

fn_debugConsoleExec.sqf:

if (isServer && call (missionNamespace getVariable "BIS_fnc_isDebugConsoleAllowed")) exitWith

#

This is called at the top off the script which is run when you click Local Execute, Server Execute etc

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 8:15 AM

#

And that is called from where?

The buttons in the debug console for executing on server, global and local call that script

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 8:15 AM

#

In what script

#

RscDebugConsole?

warm gorge May 17, 2017, 8:16 AM

#

Yes

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 8:16 AM

#

Well, that is the wrong one.

#

You need to be looking at RscDisplayDebug.sqf

#

or RscDisplayDebug in config.cpp

#

RscDebugConsole is probably the one in pause menu

tough abyss May 17, 2017, 8:18 AM

#

It's RscDisplayDebugPublic.

warm gorge May 17, 2017, 8:19 AM

#

Thats what im trying to use, but it doesnt work for non-admins

#

Before this update anyone who could call createDialog "RscDisplayDebugConsole" could use it fine. Now the user needs to be an admin to access it

#

Because somewhere in the scripts behind it theres calls to this new fn_isDebugConsoleAllowed script

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 8:20 AM

#

Not for RscDisplayDebugPublic

tough abyss May 17, 2017, 8:20 AM

#

In multiplayer, the debug console is unavailable by default. It is possible to make it available by configuring access option (see below). It is worth noting that when debug console is configured for admin access, it is only available for logged in admin, voted in admin is treated just like any other user in this respect.

indigo snow May 17, 2017, 8:20 AM

#

that would be the menu integrated one though

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 8:20 AM

#

^^

#

As I've been trying to say

indigo snow May 17, 2017, 8:20 AM

#

youve always been able to create the display scriptwise

#

i could check tonight if our admin tools been affected for you if you havent solved it by then

tough abyss May 17, 2017, 8:21 AM

#

What's inside fn_isDebugConsoleAllowed.sqf?

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 8:21 AM

#

Its the check for default debug console in Pause Menu @tough abyss

#

Checks the missionConfigFile for allowDebugConsole = number;

warm gorge May 17, 2017, 8:22 AM

#

It also checks if the user is an admin, or if we're in singleplayer. But this is what im trying to say, something has been changed with RscDisplayDebugPublic which now uses this fn_isDebugConsoleAllowed otherwise if that check fails you cant use it

#

I understand the pause menu debug console is different, but the other one created through createDialog is now also affected

#

@indigo snow Please let me know. Because my admin menu worked fine calling createDialog "RscDisplayDebugPublic

#

Now it doesnt.

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 8:23 AM

#

You are on about RscDebugConsole in Pause Menu

indigo snow May 17, 2017, 8:24 AM

#

they might have changed the rsc itself in the latest update

#

ill take a peek tonight

#

in the meantime you might just wanna set that BIS_fnc_variable to true first or something

#

oh wait thats just a roundabout way to call the function

tough abyss May 17, 2017, 8:25 AM

#

From changelog: ```
Tweaked: Security of the debug console was improved

indigo snow May 17, 2017, 8:25 AM

#

worst case just copy the rsc and remove that requirement

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 8:25 AM

#

Hmm

warm gorge May 17, 2017, 8:25 AM

#

Thats what im trying to do but cant find the related checks for it

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 8:25 AM

#

I just tried it on MP

#

It only shows cancel

#

So I guess you are right @warm gorge

#

Just do as I previously mentioned then

warm gorge May 17, 2017, 8:26 AM

#

Yeah thats what im trying to work on now, but im just having trouble trying to figure out exactly which scripts I need to work with

#

Cause theres multiple for debug console stuff

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 8:26 AM

#

RscDisplayDebug class and rscDisplayDebugPublic class

#

And script RscDisplayDebug.sqf

#

With all the functions which it is calling

indigo snow May 17, 2017, 8:28 AM

#

it's probably an onLoad event?

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 8:28 AM

#

Yes ^

indigo snow May 17, 2017, 8:28 AM

#

just copy the rsc into a custom class and modify the unload

#

assuming this is a mod thing btw

warm gorge May 17, 2017, 8:50 AM

#

@rotund cypress @indigo snow So it turns out RscDisplayDebugPublic calls RscDebugConsole.sqf, so would need to change quite a few scripts to make a custom class for this. Not only RscDebugConsole.sqf, but also fn_debugConsoleExec.sqf which is called for each execute button as these all make calls to isDebugConsoleAllowed. Very painful for something so simple

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 8:51 AM

#

Shouldn't be that hard

indigo snow May 17, 2017, 8:51 AM

#

but you can change the config entry that calls that script 😉

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 8:51 AM

#

Just copy everything

#

And also as Cptnnick said

warm gorge May 17, 2017, 8:51 AM

#

How would I change the config entry that calls it

indigo snow May 17, 2017, 8:52 AM

#

with a mod

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 8:52 AM

#

With a mod

warm gorge May 17, 2017, 8:52 AM

#

lol

#

In my case I wouldnt be able to do that as its a non-modded server

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 8:52 AM

#

Then your options is copy/pasting

warm gorge May 17, 2017, 8:53 AM

#

yup

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 8:53 AM

#

Or writing an angry letter to bohemia describing your frustration wishing they will revert back kappa

indigo snow May 17, 2017, 8:53 AM

#

its a decent speedbump for scriptkiddies

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 8:54 AM

#

^

warm gorge May 17, 2017, 8:54 AM

#

Considering isDebugConsoleAllowed checks for the variable BIS_fnc_admin, couldnt that just be set manually or is there some sort of thing in place that prevents that

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 8:54 AM

#

I mean @warm gorge if you copy/paste it, you can have it do whatever you want, i.e. server side check to make sure they are admins

#

It's compiled finally

#

So no

warm gorge May 17, 2017, 8:55 AM

#

Ah alright, welp, guess ill just have to make my own debug console and just edit all the scripts. Annoying but I guess once done it works

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 8:55 AM

#

^

#

I have a question for the peeps here. I am currently working on a system for the dynamic loadouts. I am struggling with a good way of finding out what magazines are compatible

#

I have checked in the vehicle class, but nothing there

#

So I guess it would be under the magazine itself, but that makes things complicated

#

No it's not in CfgMagazines either, so maybe I would check hardpoints then and check them together... hmm

indigo snow May 17, 2017, 8:59 AM

#

compatible magazines are stored in the weapon config

#

or at least before

#

the new pylon system might work differently

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 9:00 AM

#

Ah ye right, but that seems to complicated to do, I think maybe comparing the hardpoints on the pylons to the magazines are easier

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 9:29 AM

#

Yes

#

Well, as long as server initializes

#

I call the extension on server init

#

initServer.sqf

#

if (isServer) {callext...};

indigo snow May 17, 2017, 9:33 AM

#

why an isServer in initServer.sqf?

rotund cypress May 17, 2017, 9:34 AM

#

I dunno, just wrote it there 😛

#

But yeh, no really need for it

thick sage May 17, 2017, 9:41 AM

#

could someone check this: count [1] + [2] gives error on evaluates to 2?

#

(not in windows atm)

vapid frigate May 17, 2017, 9:44 AM

#

you would be better to do count [1] + count [2] anyway

indigo snow May 17, 2017, 9:44 AM

#

count wowuld be a unary operator here

vapid frigate May 17, 2017, 9:44 AM

#

so it doesn't create a whole new array just to count

indigo snow May 17, 2017, 9:44 AM

#

unary commands have higher precedence than +

#

so it would evaluate to (count [1]) + [2]

thick sage May 17, 2017, 9:46 AM

#

count is both a unary and binary operator. My question is whether what matters is the operation (count [1]), or the operator (count).

indigo snow May 17, 2017, 9:46 AM

#

without a code block in front of it it acts as a unary operator

thick sage May 17, 2017, 9:51 AM

#

so, to double check, {true} count [1] + [2] returns 2

#

because now count is binary, and + has precedence over binary

#

@vapid frigate yes, this was just an example of a unary/binary op on the left side of a binary op, to double check operators precedence.

indigo snow May 17, 2017, 9:54 AM

#

it should but likewise i have to access no arma atm

vapid frigate May 17, 2017, 9:54 AM

#

yeh fair enough.. i just add brackets when it's not obvious

#

better for anyone reading your code that doesn't know all the obscurities anyway

indigo snow May 17, 2017, 9:54 AM

#

i figure the code itself just serves as an illustration to the underlying question

#

the precedence behaviour of commands that can both be unary and binary

thick sage May 17, 2017, 9:56 AM

#

@vapid frigate I agree, but since I am programming the SQF parser (https://github.com/LordGolias/sqf), I need to implement it 100% correctly. Because the whole point is to detect when someone "abuses" precedence.

vapid frigate May 17, 2017, 9:56 AM

#

ah, understood 😃

#

count [1] + [2] = error
{true} count [1] + [2] = 2

#

(tested)

thick sage May 17, 2017, 10:01 AM

#

Thanks a lot for testing it ingame!!

indigo snow May 17, 2017, 10:04 AM

#

man that'll be fun to parse since youll have to find out if a command willbe behaving unary or binary

#

[] call { { true } } count [1] + [2];
