*the action does not show up

still forum Jun 12, 2017, 8:04 PM

#

Not sure if you can even have actions on WeaponHolders

jade abyss Jun 12, 2017, 8:30 PM

#

hmm

#

Technicaly... hm.. should be possible.

rotund cypress Jun 12, 2017, 10:04 PM

#

@queen cargo So a ctrlsGroup would pretty much be the only option? What exactly do you mean by "merging together"?

queen cargo Jun 12, 2017, 10:57 PM

#

exactly that @rotund cypress

rotund cypress Jun 12, 2017, 10:59 PM

#

I guess it would work fine, but does certainly not seem elegant. From what I've seen with 3DEN etc they're not using that for child displays, yet they show up upon the other display @queen cargo

queen cargo Jun 12, 2017, 11:01 PM

#

3DEN is done a lot engine-whise

#

you also could create the UI dynamically using ctrlCreate

rotund cypress Jun 12, 2017, 11:02 PM

#

Ye maybe that is why...however using ctrlCreate does not seem like a good idea so I guess I will stick to a ctrls group then 😄

#

ctrlCreate most certainly would not be elegant 😄

queen cargo Jun 12, 2017, 11:15 PM

#

ctrlCreate is pretty elegant actually

#

you just need to code your elements in position

#

that is all

#

some pretty simple process

#

you even could automate it

#

(converting from cpp to SQF/cpp)

rotund cypress Jun 12, 2017, 11:17 PM

#

Ah ye you mean getting the positions with getNumber or getText etc etc from a hpp

queen cargo Jun 12, 2017, 11:21 PM

#

actually ... i mean using an external tool to transform
but that also would be possible

rotund cypress Jun 12, 2017, 11:25 PM

#

Aah, is there such a tool available somewhere? @queen cargo

queen cargo Jun 12, 2017, 11:27 PM

#

not rly
would not that hard to write though ...

#

you also can catch all that via SQF though

#

it is more or less equally hard

narrow musk Jun 12, 2017, 11:58 PM

#

The black box you are prompt with showing script errors how do you disable that as everybody in the server can currently see it :3

#

Theres no actual errors just undefined variables as they are defined in another file.

narrow musk Jun 13, 2017, 12:14 AM

#

Another special question... dose anybody know how to modify this menu to only display 'vests' (Altis Life) searched every single file and cannot find it assuming i need to create a new life_fnc_ https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/836955342143152192/B5676221A7DC7B4133DE49F810053025DC1718B4/

rotund cypress Jun 13, 2017, 12:16 AM

#

You cant disable client errors showing up if they got scripting errors debug enabled when starting the game @narrow musk

narrow musk Jun 13, 2017, 12:16 AM

#

Just fixed that it was in the server files i turned debug on and forgot to turn it off...

rotund cypress Jun 13, 2017, 12:16 AM

#

Just set the undefined variables to a null datatype or soemthing

#

in init

#

aah

narrow musk Jun 13, 2017, 12:17 AM

#

And good idea to prevent rpt spam, didn't think of that

#

Any ideas on the menu?

dry egret Jun 13, 2017, 12:48 AM

#

has anyone here done anything with cfgMusic?

#

im trying to figure out a way to get the music to fadeOut while its still playing and then stop the track once its muted

#

iv been looking at https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/fadeMusic but it does not work

#

nevermind i found the issue lol

#

/facepalm

#

is their anyway to stop a music track mid play?

rotund cypress Jun 13, 2017, 1:01 AM

#

addmusiceventhandler

#

sour drift Jun 13, 2017, 1:01 AM

#

I'm curious, is there a way to overwrite a terrain's geolocation via script somehow? Someone was setting up a MP server and was tyring to think of a way to keep people from using gamma from having the upperhand over people actually playing the game properly and using nightvision. I was thinking if you could overwrite the geoloc to somewhere where it doesn't get really dark at night, bam.

dry egret Jun 13, 2017, 1:02 AM

#

reason the fadeMusic was not working was due to aceHearing overiding the setting, so for the intro i disabled it

#

@sour drift will setting the date so that night time is under a full moon not work?

sour drift Jun 13, 2017, 1:04 AM

#

eh that doesn't have the best effect. For starters, there's still a period of almost pitch black before moon enters sky

#

and people using gamma still have upperhand.. if the sky was brighter, I'm thinking turning up gamma would blind you, but having nightvision would still be effective.. dunno maybe my thinking is flawed

dry egret Jun 13, 2017, 1:10 AM

#

only thing i can think of is by running some sort of postProcessing effect via script

sour drift Jun 13, 2017, 1:15 AM

#

on init or something.. dunno I know jack sht about scripting, I've just been making terrain for 2 years =p

dry egret Jun 13, 2017, 1:17 AM

#

im kind of in the same boat, but i can disect scripts and see how they work lol

#

still looking up how the addMusicEventHandler works

#

dont think you can use that to stop the current track playing

#

the addMusicEventHandler will return an event when the music stops playing but nothing about actualy stoping an already playing track

#

@sour drift is the mission some sort of PvP?

sour drift Jun 13, 2017, 1:21 AM

#

wellll I think they're planning on using Exile and tinkering with it a bit, less survival and more tactical or something

#

so yeah pvp

#

Wasn't really looking for a working script though, just was wondering if it would be possible, thanks =]

#

It would be the latitude and longitude settings in the terrain's config.cpp that would need to be overwritten... which I assume that would be the same as changing the starting time/date.

limpid pewter Jun 13, 2017, 3:29 AM

#

can i use: (findDisplay 46) createDisplay "someDisplayName"; To create a display that will show on the player's screen and not take over their mouse? If not how would i go about creating a display that will be constantly there, and not take over the player's control?

jade abyss Jun 13, 2017, 3:43 AM

#

I guess you want "RscTitles"

limpid pewter Jun 13, 2017, 4:05 AM

#

ok, is that a kind of display?

#

@jade abyss

#

i am about to try this ```sqf
cutRsc [display name , "PLAIN", 10, false];

jade abyss Jun 13, 2017, 4:06 AM

#

Yes

limpid pewter Jun 13, 2017, 4:09 AM

#

cool

#

so all i need to do is that, and then closeDisplay to close it?

#

This will show the dispaly, and the player will still have control of his character?

jade abyss Jun 13, 2017, 4:10 AM

#

Yes + There are alot of example on google.

#

It acts like an overlay

subtle ore Jun 13, 2017, 4:11 AM

#

(findDisplay _coolRsc) cutRsc["","PLAIN"]; ?

jade abyss Jun 13, 2017, 4:12 AM

#

Not even that

limpid pewter Jun 13, 2017, 4:12 AM

#

@jade abyss Tahnks

subtle ore Jun 13, 2017, 4:12 AM

#

Are you implying it requires less or are you saying I'm not even in the ballpark?

limpid pewter Jun 13, 2017, 4:13 AM

#

on the wiki there are two syntaxs

#

one requires the findDisplay thing, the other doesn't which is correct?

jade abyss Jun 13, 2017, 4:13 AM

#

e.g.

waitUntil { !(isNull (findDisplay  46)) };

41 cutRsc ["MyRscTitleName","PLAIN"];```
Also works:
```sqf
0815 cutRsc ["MyRscTitleName","PLAIN"];```

limpid pewter Jun 13, 2017, 4:14 AM

#

ok so 41 is the geneeric display that all other displays can be created on?

jade abyss Jun 13, 2017, 4:15 AM

#

No, 41 is the one i used, because of: Distrikt41 😄

limpid pewter Jun 13, 2017, 4:15 AM

#

layered on*

#

oh ok

jade abyss Jun 13, 2017, 4:15 AM

#

You can choose (almost) any number

#

Thats why the example with 0815

limpid pewter Jun 13, 2017, 4:15 AM

#

ok so the idd of the display?

jade abyss Jun 13, 2017, 4:15 AM

#

...

#

You can choose (almost) any number

subtle ore Jun 13, 2017, 4:16 AM

#

can't you also allow it to assign a random number?

limpid pewter Jun 13, 2017, 4:16 AM

#

why do i need a number at all? what is it's significance?

jade abyss Jun 13, 2017, 4:16 AM

#

1,2,3 is a bad choice, obvioulsysfkingfon fkn hate that word
*obviously (hate)

limpid pewter Jun 13, 2017, 4:16 AM

#

lol

#

@subtle ore so that number is the numberr that cutRsc assigns to the dsiplay being created?

jade abyss Jun 13, 2017, 4:17 AM

#

It's the layer

limpid pewter Jun 13, 2017, 4:17 AM

#

either way, i will try and figure it out

jade abyss Jun 13, 2017, 4:18 AM

#

Oh, since 1.57 also with LayerName. Nice to know

subtle ore Jun 13, 2017, 4:18 AM

#

You can also immediately remove resource with cutFadeOut command: 🤷

limpid pewter Jun 13, 2017, 4:19 AM

#

ok, so one display/dialog can have many layers, each with its own number or name yes?

#

if not, don't worry, i will stop asking

jade abyss Jun 13, 2017, 4:19 AM

#

Display, yes. imho it should also work with Dialogs.

limpid pewter Jun 13, 2017, 4:20 AM

#

ok thanks for your patience and your help

jade abyss Jun 13, 2017, 4:21 AM

#

+Take care, that you have onLoad setVariable stuff set up.

#

Example how to access a specific Ctrl in an RscTitles Layer:

disableSerialization;
_Display = uiNamespace getVariable ["MyRscTitlesName",DisplayNull];

(_Display displayCtrl SelectedCtrlIDC) ctrlSetStructuredText parseText format["<t size='%3'><t align='center'><t color='#FFFFFF'>%1 | %2</t></t></t>",2, 5, (0.88 * safezoneH)];```
( (0.88 * safezoneH) = specific Size, so it's in every UI-Size the same height/width)

limpid pewter Jun 13, 2017, 4:24 AM

#

ok thanks

jade abyss Jun 13, 2017, 4:26 AM

#

Example RscTitles. Makes things easier to play around with:
https://pastebin.com/Ac9yHmkX

Pastebin

[C++] RscTitles Example - Pastebin.com

#

F5 the page.

limpid pewter Jun 13, 2017, 4:30 AM

#

i need to do this so that when i go to create the RscTitle latter, in another script , it will know wht MyRscTitleName is?

#

like if i said ```sqf
35 cutRsc ["MyRscTitleName", "PLAIN"];

#

?

jade abyss Jun 13, 2017, 4:31 AM

#

Yes, as long as it's in the RscTitles part of (e.g. for missions) description.ext

limpid pewter Jun 13, 2017, 4:32 AM

#

ok thanks, its weird, i haven't needed for createDialog, is that a different case?

#

createDialog usually works well, without the whole onLoad = blahblahblah thing

jade abyss Jun 13, 2017, 4:37 AM

#

Otherwise you wouldn't be able to access it.

limpid pewter Jun 13, 2017, 4:37 AM

#

yeah that makes sense.

#

call My_fnc_To_Update_The_RscTitles; This fnc you put in the example, why do you need it, if you have already saved the RscTitle's name into the uiNameSpace?

#

nvm, i just found a blog on killzone kid about it

#

i will find all the answers i need there, thanks

jade abyss Jun 13, 2017, 4:51 AM

@jade abyss it's all working now, thanks for you help

subtle ore Jun 13, 2017, 5:16 AM

#

Is there any absolute textbook method for looping? Or is it completely contextual?

dusk sage Jun 13, 2017, 5:33 AM

#

🤔 ?

jade abyss Jun 13, 2017, 5:59 AM

#

🤔

subtle ore Jun 13, 2017, 6:13 AM

#

Oh come on now, I wasn't being that vague. I was implying something other than while{true} do {//this is definitely true};

simple solstice Jun 13, 2017, 6:24 AM

#

and use forEach whenever it's applicable

#

there was a kill zones guide for that

#

http://killzonekid.com/arma-scripting-tutorials-loops/

dusk sage Jun 13, 2017, 6:28 AM

#

Using something when it's applicable applies to most things

simple solstice Jun 13, 2017, 6:33 AM

#

yeah but loops are common go to solutions when something can be done easier with event handlers and forEach

dusk sage Jun 13, 2017, 6:34 AM

#

a forEach is a loop

simple solstice Jun 13, 2017, 6:34 AM

#

but a more efficient one, isn't it?

dusk sage Jun 13, 2017, 6:34 AM

#

Depends what you're doing exactly

simple solstice Jun 13, 2017, 6:34 AM

#

as loops I meant while True and for

dusk sage Jun 13, 2017, 6:35 AM

#

Specifically for iterating a collection

simple solstice Jun 13, 2017, 6:35 AM

#

the common ones for newer to scripting

dusk sage Jun 13, 2017, 6:35 AM

#

Count loops out perform forEach loops, assuming you don't need forEachIndex of course

simple solstice Jun 13, 2017, 6:35 AM

#

oh, that's new for me

dusk sage Jun 13, 2017, 6:37 AM

#

Really depends on what you're doing. At the end of the day, unless you're trying to shave fractions of a millisecond off, it's irrelevant 😉

simple solstice Jun 13, 2017, 6:38 AM

#

yup, but some things just can be easier to write with forEach and Event handlers.

#

wish there was an engine function to either make player go out a vehicle with or without a weapon

queen cargo Jun 13, 2017, 6:40 AM

#

write with forEach and Event handlers wondering what event could be catched via a game loop ...

#

you have to prevent him moving with weapon then in first place

#

there also is SwitchMove that might be helpfull

simple solstice Jun 13, 2017, 6:40 AM

#

yeah I'm just using a EH getoutman and action switchweapon

queen cargo Jun 13, 2017, 6:41 AM

#

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

simple solstice Jun 13, 2017, 6:41 AM

#

I meant just an engine function like canWalk true/false

queen cargo Jun 13, 2017, 6:41 AM

#

would require some more work though due to you being in need to provide the correct move for the correct gun

simple solstice Jun 13, 2017, 6:41 AM

#

or forceWalk, whatever you know the drill

limpid pewter Jun 13, 2017, 10:34 AM

#

Is there a way to create a command from a function. Say if i had a function called mld_fnc_MyFunction that required 2 params. Is there a way that i can make into a command, so that i can just type ```sqf
[_test1 , _test2] function;

warm gorge Jun 13, 2017, 10:35 AM

#

No

limpid pewter Jun 13, 2017, 10:35 AM

#

: ( thats annoying

#

i mean kinda like the way you can make bash scripts in linux, and then use them as commands later

#

but if no, ok 😃

cedar kindle Jun 13, 2017, 10:48 AM

#

macros is the closest you'd get

simple solstice Jun 13, 2017, 10:49 AM

#

well you could create a function that you give params to and the function returns a value

#

if that's what you mean

#

say you want something like that

myaddedvalue = [15,30] call my_fnc_addup;

#

my_fnc_addup

_value1 = _this select 0;
_value2 = _this select 1;
_result = _value1 + _value2;
_result

limpid pewter Jun 13, 2017, 10:59 AM

#

@simple solstice yeah. i am doing that atm, but i was trying to get away from having to write spawn or call and My_fnc_ every time i want to run a function

simple solstice Jun 13, 2017, 11:00 AM

#

dont use spawn unless you need to suspend

limpid pewter Jun 13, 2017, 11:00 AM

#

i need to suspend 😃

simple solstice Jun 13, 2017, 11:00 AM

#

there's not other way then other than this or macros

limpid pewter Jun 13, 2017, 11:00 AM

#

yeah, its ok, just wanted to ask

#

thanks for you help

simple solstice Jun 13, 2017, 11:00 AM

#

😊

still forum Jun 13, 2017, 11:05 AM

#

@limpid pewter Is there a way to create a command from a function. Yes Intercept can do that. But syntax would be function [_test1, _test2] or _test1 function _test2

limpid pewter Jun 13, 2017, 11:06 AM

#

intercept?

still forum Jun 13, 2017, 11:07 AM

#

https://github.com/intercept/intercept/wiki

#

You need some C++ knowledge to use it though. And doesn't work with Battleye

#

But it does exactly what you need

limpid pewter Jun 13, 2017, 11:07 AM

#

ok

#

yeah, i thought there had to be a way to do it

#

thanks

simple solstice Jun 13, 2017, 11:10 AM

#

@still forum is Intercept ever going to be whitelisted by Battleye or is that non-possible?

still forum Jun 13, 2017, 11:11 AM

#

It is definetly possible. We aren't doing anything that Battleye considers as malicious anymore. But we never asked BE if they would whitelist it

#

Even if they don't want to.. The likelyness that they would accidentally whitelist it is quite high. They also whitelisted my script debugger that allows anyone to execute arbitrary scripts anywhere. While noone asked for it to get whitelisted

vapid frigate Jun 13, 2017, 11:30 AM

#

that's stupid.. whitelisting a potentially malicious private 'hack'

still forum Jun 13, 2017, 11:39 AM

#

Yeah. But apparently Battleye whitelists everything if enough people try to load it over some time.

queen cargo Jun 13, 2017, 11:46 AM

#

which can get problematic especially with the debugger 🙈

nocturne basalt Jun 13, 2017, 12:40 PM

#

Hi. I'm hoping some experienced scripters will see this xD
I have GunnerTurrets and CargoTurrets in my VTOL. I want the Cargo positions to be able to enter the gunner positions (in same compartment), but only when certain conditions are met. I dont want them to be able to do it when Guns are turned in.

can this be done in a script? (change compartment when animation == 1 or something?)

queen cargo Jun 13, 2017, 1:00 PM

#

if you want to disable, create a dummy gunner

#

when condition is not met

#

if you want to enable

#

use addAction

nocturne basalt Jun 13, 2017, 1:07 PM

#

ah so I can spawn an invisible gunner to take the spot? brilliant

#

@queen cargo
do you think you could post an example of using addAction for this purpose?

queen cargo Jun 13, 2017, 1:10 PM

#

addACtion should be used to get a non-manable gunner slot manable

#

not to get it "forbidden" when default is that the slot is manable

#

to spawn a dummy, just add event handlers to the vehicle via addEventHandler

nocturne basalt Jun 13, 2017, 1:12 PM

#

ok ty I will try

delicate lotus Jun 13, 2017, 1:19 PM

#

@still forum wait you have a script debugger, which can execute scripts anywhere and its whitelisted by BE because a lot of people downloaded it?

queen cargo Jun 13, 2017, 1:23 PM

#

ArmA.Studio @delicate lotus is build around it
and yes, the range of ArmA.Studio was enough (that and the fact that the game always loads it)

#

exact details about how and why is not known though

delicate lotus Jun 13, 2017, 1:24 PM

#

I found his thingy on github

#

and how does one use that thing?

queen cargo Jun 13, 2017, 1:24 PM

#

did you read my msg?

#

ArmA.Studio

#

go

#

download it

#

put the debugger in your

#

Or maybe conditional breakpoints? :3 So that people actually really can execute arbitrary scripts? ^^

queen cargo Jun 13, 2017, 1:31 PM

#

that actually is a thing of few minutes

#

more or less

#

requires new dialogue

#

can do that today if ya want

still forum Jun 13, 2017, 1:32 PM

#

I have no need for that right now ^^

delicate lotus Jun 13, 2017, 1:32 PM

#

wait so you can execute scripts on normal game servers with that?

queen cargo Jun 13, 2017, 1:33 PM

#

game servers not currently due to the debugger being limited to local computer right now

#

but it is planned down the road

still forum Jun 13, 2017, 1:34 PM

#

You could join Battleye protected servers. And place a conditional breakpoint. And it's condition is arbitrary SQF.
But not anymore. As the Debugger should not be whitelisted anymore. I hope..

delicate lotus Jun 13, 2017, 1:55 PM

#

still you could edit variables with that

#

like the money on altis life

#

and then broadcast it using publicVariable

queen cargo Jun 13, 2017, 1:56 PM

#

you could do that before already ...

#

debugger should also be blacklisted by BE

Anyone know how I can locate the position of those hangar lights in Land_Hangar_F via script or am I going to have to find them all manually? Last I checked you could find a geometry position and select it?

simple solstice Jun 13, 2017, 6:00 PM

#

maybe nearestObjects or nearestObject?

subtle ore Jun 13, 2017, 6:01 PM

#

would that pick up on the lights? Because afaik they're just a part of the model they serve no purpose further than asthetics

#

Even worse, it doesn't even collide with bullets, objects. So I don't think commands like intersect or lineintersects would work since it's based off of raycast collision?

little eagle Jun 13, 2017, 7:06 PM

#

Could try https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/selectionNames on the object

selectionNames

#

And then https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/selectionPosition to get the model space position

selectionPosition

#

Then https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/modelToWorld I guess.

modelToWorld

subtle ore Jun 13, 2017, 7:39 PM

#

@little eagle thanks, I'll take a shot at it.

#

selectionNames is returning nothing.

@hollow lantern Huh? I'm not sure what you are talking about, it's the hangars.

hollow lantern Jun 13, 2017, 9:17 PM

#

I guess it wasn't related to your stuff 😛 sorry ^^

little eagle Jun 13, 2017, 9:17 PM

#

If selectionNames reports nothing then all you can do is to find the positions yourself. Best would be to get them in model space, so you can get them from any hangar once you fiddled with one.

subtle ore Jun 13, 2017, 9:22 PM

Is it possible to hide the player model but to keep the collision?

still forum Jun 14, 2017, 1:18 AM

#

@hasty violet Yes. If your code get's recompiled a lot. So execVM for example.
But that's just because larger code needs more time to compile. And by including anything you are making your code larger

#

But if you use SQF in a responsible non-retarded matter. Then the answer is no.

RscDisplayEmpty only has one control - the vignette. So it should be perfect for createDisplay, but not so much for createDialog.

As that would double show the vignette...

If you have filePatching enabled you can load files outside of Arma directory (I think) But by default it already is inside Arma directory. So I don't see any use from SQF where you could need that

subtle ore Jun 15, 2017, 1:59 AM

I'm also pretty sure you can whitelist file extensions like .php , html etc.

#

or maybe ```sqf

First step would be using >> instead of /

@pulsar anchor Why do you need the Arma directory for an Extension?
You can easilly grab it within the extension.

warm gorge Jun 15, 2017, 2:14 PM

@limpid pewter Something like this should work:

_compatibleItems = [];

{
    _temp = getArray (configFile >> "CfgWeapons" >> _typeName >> "WeaponSlotsInfo" >> _x >> "compatibleItems");
    _compatibleItems append _temp;
} forEach ["CowsSlot", "MuzzleSlot", "PointerSlot", "UnderBarrelSlot"];

#

_weaponClass = "";
_compatibleItems = [];

{
    _temp = getArray (configFile >> "CfgWeapons" >> _weaponClass >> "WeaponSlotsInfo" >> _x >> "compatibleItems");
    _compatibleItems append _temp;
} forEach ["CowsSlot", "MuzzleSlot", "PointerSlot", "UnderBarrelSlot"];

#

Change weapon class to your weapon

limpid pewter Jun 15, 2017, 2:16 PM

ok, that looks like it will do

#

thanks, yeah just did a hint, it works

warm gorge Jun 15, 2017, 2:18 PM

Even simpler than that, just found a BIS function that does the same thing, BIS_fnc_compatibleItems

Hey guys! I haven't had to bother people with my shenanigans in a while. So the goal today is to use startLoadingScreen until all playableunits are loaded in. Effectively preventing any initial desync from the mission. The problem: playerReady is reported as "undefined".

#

if (isServer) then {

"playerReady" addPublicVariableEventHandler {readyList = (readyList +1);
    if (count readyList == {isplayer _x} count playableunits) then {
        allReady = true; publicVariable "allReady";
        };
    };
};
if (hasInterface) then {
startLoadingScreen ["Loading My Mission"];
waituntil {!isnull player};
playerReady = true;
publicVariable "playerReady";
waituntil {(time>0) && (allReady)};
progressLoadingScreen 0.5;
//Batch of code
//Batch of code
//Batch of code
endLoadingScreen;
};

#

My guess is I'm not broadcasting allReady as intended

little eagle Jun 15, 2017, 8:47 PM

#

I assume you're creating the units via script? Or what else do you mean by "initial desynch"?

unreal siren Jun 15, 2017, 9:00 PM

#

It's an extra step to ensure the mission starts at the same time for everyone

little eagle Jun 15, 2017, 9:01 PM

#

That is not desynch then.

#

Honestly, the easiest thing would be to just have the admin wait in the lobby until everyone loaded in.

#

The waituntil {!isnull player}; you're using has nothing to do with this, so you cannot use it like that.

#

~~wait in the lobby~~ wait in the briefing

dusk sage Jun 15, 2017, 10:56 PM

For something as trivial is this, your method is absolutely fine. They don't provide a command to do such a thing (all in one) AFAIK, so a basic SQF implementation is fine

afaik yes

If no value is returned, the default damage processing will be done.

Yes. That would be Nil.
But does "default damage processing" equal the damage parameter's value.

#

The eventhandlers wiki is not very informative if a handler returns something or not. I guess I'll add a column

For RscDisplayInventory's control SlotPrimary and all the other controls that extend it: The config viewer says they have type 11

Returns number representing the type of control, which is also defined by type property in config.

Question re performance: In a local-only script / client-side addon scenario, is there any benefit to storing a variable on the player object rather than the mission namespace?

#

or vice versa

#

In a basic test with strings, storing on the player object was faster, but retrieving was slower than the mission namespace - so it kind of balanced out. But are there any other best practice reasons?

@jagged halo Not necessarily take a look at the function header: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_addVirtualWeaponCargo

subtle ore Jun 17, 2017, 6:21 AM

you can also (see the biki link) automatically add the virtual arsenal action without an arsenal function call

it has to be a weapon in this instance, you have the same variants for items, magazines, and backpacks

theres no catch all for items in general?

because i want the zeus to be able to add this code to a box which calls to the SQF that checks if a player is in an array. If they are in an Array they get acces to a specific list of items if not they get a hint.

this addAction["<t color='#FFFFFF'>Ammobox</t>", "AuthAmmo_PUB.sqf"];

Ooohh. My bad! I was thinking vanilla.

jagged halo Jun 17, 2017, 6:33 AM

so it would add that which would hypothetically call to the sqf which would do the check

#

pubarray = [PUB_1, PUB_2, PUB_3, PUB_4, PUB_5];
if (player in pubarray) then {
[anypotatobox, ["rhs_weap_m4", "rhs_weap_m4_m203"]] call BIS_fnc_addVirtualWeaponCargo;
}
else
{
hint "You are not authorized for this equipment!"

is there some sort of this function?

#

that will pull whatever is calling it?

subtle ore Jun 17, 2017, 6:35 AM

#

Here, give me a moment and I will give you an example.

jagged halo Jun 17, 2017, 6:35 AM

#

and use as selection zero

#

thanks

subtle ore Jun 17, 2017, 6:49 AM

#

pubarray = [PUB_1,PUB_2,PUB_3,PUB_4,PUB_5];
[_obj, ["rhs_weap_m4", "rhs_weap_m4_m203"],false,false] call BIS_fnc_addVirtualWeaponCargo;
if (_player in pubarray) then {["Open",false] call bis_fnc_arsenal;} else{hint "You are not authorized for this equipment!";};```

#

this is super rough, but basically it adds the weapons but only opens the arsenal if the player is in your pub array there

#

and your this addAction["<t color='#FFFFFF'>Ammobox</t>", "AuthAmmo_PUB.sqf"]; should be just fine for this, as I believe the parameters are already passed from the action

jagged halo Jun 17, 2017, 6:51 AM

#

ok thanks a lot i apreciate it!

subtle ore Jun 17, 2017, 6:51 AM

#

yep.

#

Just make sure all of your pub array items exist in the game, otherwise it's not going to understand what to check for.

jagged halo Jun 17, 2017, 6:52 AM

#

ok

#

gonna sleep and look at it properly in the morning

#

thanks again

subtle ore Jun 17, 2017, 6:52 AM

#

Yep, sure thing.

jagged halo Jun 17, 2017, 6:56 AM

#

just one last thing @subtle ore when i plug that in the arsenal opens up but the items don't show

subtle ore Jun 17, 2017, 6:57 AM

#

@jagged halo I made a mistake, params are backwards. Use this: params["_obj","_player"];

jagged halo Jun 17, 2017, 6:59 AM

#

now its saying PUB_1 is not authorized

#

or wait

#

1 sec

#

yeah thats what it was before

#

no weapons

subtle ore Jun 17, 2017, 7:00 AM

#

Hmmm..so the arsenal does open up though yes?

jagged halo Jun 17, 2017, 7:01 AM

#

yes just no items

subtle ore Jun 17, 2017, 7:02 AM

#

I could be totally be making a mistake here, stick with me here one moment

jagged halo Jun 17, 2017, 7:03 AM

#

no problem

#

sorry im falling asleep, let me hit you up tomorrow

#

thanks for your help dude

subtle ore Jun 17, 2017, 7:05 AM

#

Okay, not a problem. I'll figure this out, shoot me a direct message in the morning and I'll let you know. See you later.

blufor reportRemoteTarget [[[vehicle]] player, 60];``` this is wrong right?

#

example from the biki

subtle ore Jun 17, 2017, 7:23 AM

#

yeah it's wrong. [target, time]: Array

#

needs to contain the two items, the target then then time.

vapid frigate Jun 17, 2017, 7:23 AM

i need some help on making mission peramaters

#

iv alraedy got the peramater defined in the correct class

#

but im having an issue with getting an if statement to work with it in the init.sqf file

#

description.ext

class Params {
     class f_param_headless
     {
    title = "Headless Client";
    values[] = {0,1};
    texts[] = {"Disabled","Enabled"};
    default = 0;

//Headless Client
if (f_param_headless == 0) then 
{
    execVM "headless\HCInit.sqf"; 
    HCDebug = 0;

halcyon crypt Jun 17, 2017, 9:40 AM

#

omg

#

"f_param_headless" call BIS_fnc_getParamValue

subtle ore Jun 17, 2017, 9:40 AM

#

Yep, mission had no idea what "f_param_headless" is on it's own

#

BIS_fnc_getParamValue returns a number by the way. So if((["f_param_headless"] call bis_fnc_getParamValue) > 0) then { ];

dry egret Jun 17, 2017, 9:45 AM

#

when a paramater is defined via the description.ext, the mission wont know about it before hand unless you make that call bis_fnc_getParamValue?

dry egret Jun 17, 2017, 10:03 AM

#

@subtle ore thank you for helping me understand how it works 😃

vapid frigate Jun 17, 2017, 10:43 AM

#

not sure if it will, but you could check what the function does in the 'functions viewer' (or on a properly extracted P drive) and do it yourself if it doesn't and you need it to

Hi guys, how can i set my cursortarget/move it to a certain target, in my case a house for a intro ?

vapid frigate Jun 17, 2017, 10:44 AM

#

cursortarget is what's in front of your cursor.. only way to change it is to point at a house

dim owl Jun 17, 2017, 10:45 AM

#

I need to set my view to the house

vapid frigate Jun 17, 2017, 10:45 AM

#

a house built in to the map?

dim owl Jun 17, 2017, 10:46 AM

#

No, its spawned

vapid frigate Jun 17, 2017, 10:46 AM

#

how? with a script?

dim owl Jun 17, 2017, 10:46 AM

#

Yes, i spawned it on briefing

vapid frigate Jun 17, 2017, 10:47 AM

#

k so it's createVehicle?

dim owl Jun 17, 2017, 10:47 AM

#

Yes

vapid frigate Jun 17, 2017, 10:47 AM

#

so if you want to do something with it in that same script you could use _house = createvehicle whatever;

#

or otherwise, you'll need to make it a global var like thehouse = createvehicle whatever

#

and then replace cursortarget with _house or thehouse

#

(the underscore makes it a local var)

dim owl Jun 17, 2017, 10:50 AM

#

But how can i set my view to it via the script

still forum Jun 17, 2017, 10:52 AM

@dim owl Want's to create a camera for a Intro. Move it into the house via script. And switch the player view to it.
I think script commands for that are createCamera/setPos/ cameraSmth

vapid frigate Jun 17, 2017, 10:54 AM

#

yeh that's pretty much the opposite of what i thought you meant.. it's a bit more complicated because you need both the house and a camera position

dim owl Jun 17, 2017, 10:54 AM

#

Yeah or can i use my camera view on camsetpos ?

vapid frigate Jun 17, 2017, 10:55 AM

Why are you doing all that in initPlayerServer?

Seperate it into initServer and initPlayerLocal.

Something that does scare me a tad bit is that any script in SQF sometimes just immediately skips over errors though.

That question about removing the footstep noise comes up like every week. No idea why. It's still not possible with scripting only.

shadow sapphire Jun 18, 2017, 7:01 PM

#

It's totally possible to have scripted inventory items, right?

#

If I had a script where a player could pick up razorwire fences, then redeploy that one, it would be possible to keep track of them having just the one, right? Like I wouldn't need to figure out a way to keep them from being able to create them from thin air as they placed them, right?

little eagle Jun 18, 2017, 7:07 PM

#

I'd like to say no to this, but I'm not sure I understand that question fully.

#

If you have a script that does X, then yes X is possible. Because you presupposed it to be possible by having it already.

subtle ore Jun 18, 2017, 7:12 PM

#

@little eagle I think @shadow sapphire is trying to say: a static item like a soda can, is able to be picked up from the ground and be able to be moved around in the inventory of the player.

little eagle Jun 18, 2017, 7:13 PM

#

You'd have to create the soda can item, because the soda can that is in the game is just a prop and not an item.

#

So you'd need to make a CfgWeapons config for it.

subtle ore Jun 18, 2017, 7:14 PM

#

Right, exactly. So the answer is: no, not in a mission. Possible in mod form

Use that to easilly profile where the heavy part of your code is

#

Player FOV probably doesn't change every frame. So no need to calculate it more than once

#

You should also cache config lookups in variables

little eagle Jun 18, 2017, 8:28 PM

every 0.1 s would be smooth enough

How can you even change FOV ingame?

#

Ah yeah.. okey.. Zoom 😄

#

It's a whole Nametagging system. a bit of code would probably not tell enough about the system

#

Using the integrated profiler is the best you can get.
I also have a experimental profiler that records every single script instruction. But that's too experimental to be of any use

#

the getX commands are not what's slow. The config lookup is slow

iterating through allPlayers IMO would be better than nearEntities Definetly not

little eagle Jun 20, 2017, 1:51 AM

#

The explanation of nearEntities being faster is, that it's a very similar concept to what you're doing with the distance check. It's essentially the same loop, but in C++ land and since that doesn't have nearly as much SQF command with input validation etc., it's faster.

#

Pretty obvious tbh. We've been over this again and again.

queen cargo Jun 20, 2017, 1:52 AM

#

just that it checks above different lists ...

little eagle Jun 20, 2017, 1:53 AM

So?

queen cargo Jun 20, 2017, 1:53 AM

#

in the absent of any other object, yes
nearEntities should be faster
with a lot of entities close by allPlayers approach should be faster

little eagle Jun 20, 2017, 1:54 AM

#

The allPlayers approach will be pretty much always be slower.

#

You decreased the amounts of times you have to iterate through the count SQF loop significantly by filtering the array for distance and type (CAManBase) in C++.

#

Offloading work to C++ land will make the script take less time.

private [... "_showVeh", ...

_showVeh = if (!isNil "WH_NT_SHOW_VEHICLEINFO") then [{WH_NT_SHOW_VEHICLEINFO},{false}];

Could be:

private _showVeh = missionNamespace getVariable ["WH_NT_SHOW_VEHICLEINFO", false];

#

There is many similar lines so this should help a lot.

#

You made it messier than it had to be:

#

// If the unit is dead, shorten the range. Set name.
if (alive _u) then

    _range = (_range * 0.5);

Could be:

// If the unit is dead, shorten the range. Set name.

still forum Jun 20, 2017, 8:33 AM

#

I don't understand why allPlayers should be faster. nearEntities is basically searching a hashmap of a grid for units inside it. Then confirming the distance in engine.
And SQF code is generally slow. So doing the distance check in SQF is always slower than it staying in c++ context.

You can either suffer from that. Or move the if check into your _update function. But I'm not sure if the call+alive check is cheaper than compile+alive check + maybe call.

Which is actually a good approach. Just prepare data in scheduled and read it in unscheduled.
If the data didn't get ready in time you draw the data from last frame. You don't really need to be frame perfect for Nametags. And if the scheduler is too full. It's to be expected that things will start to get laggy

each time you call this, it is running in its own instance, healing variable is not shared between instances I assume

I don't sqf really, but I think you need a global variable, and call the global variable from global space each time

#

and somehow tie that to player

limpid pewter Jun 20, 2017, 11:49 AM

ok

#

yeah healing is a global var, but maybe because when the handleDamage EH is triggered, i spawns the function, that global var isn't in the same scope as the one in the while do loop

#

is that what you mean?

I don't think global variables can be used like a reference

hey Dscha, can you take a look at my function above, and see if you can see why it won't work then?

#

@jade abyss

jade abyss Jun 20, 2017, 11:55 AM

#

if (!(_damage> 0.99)) then { <- Makes not much sense

little eagle Jun 20, 2017, 11:55 AM

#

@limpid pewter
I think I know what might be wrong.

call {
    if (true) exitWith {
        systemChat "1";
   };

    systemChat "2";
};

systemChat "3";

What do you expect this prints in chat?

jade abyss Jun 20, 2017, 11:55 AM

#

☝ I know it

#

☝ ☝ ☝ ☝ select me, select me

limpid pewter Jun 20, 2017, 11:56 AM

#

1 , 2, 3

#

is this a lesson in scopes :)?

jade abyss Jun 20, 2017, 11:56 AM

#

❎ wrong

limpid pewter Jun 20, 2017, 11:56 AM

#

1 2

little eagle Jun 20, 2017, 11:56 AM

#

1, 2, 3 is wrong

limpid pewter Jun 20, 2017, 11:56 AM

#

1,3

jade abyss Jun 20, 2017, 11:56 AM

#

Stop guessing

limpid pewter Jun 20, 2017, 11:56 AM

#

sorry its 1,3

#

ok but daddy : (

jade abyss Jun 20, 2017, 11:57 AM

#

So, why is it 1 and 3?

little eagle Jun 20, 2017, 11:57 AM

#

Your exitWith thing might only escape that while loop and you expect it to end the whole script?

limpid pewter Jun 20, 2017, 11:58 AM

#

ok, that makes sense,

#

so then i should have another if exitWith jut after the while do then?

#

so that when it exits the while do it will also exit the if then?

little eagle Jun 20, 2017, 11:59 AM

#

I guess? It's hard to make sense of your function tbqh.

zenith edge Jun 20, 2017, 11:59 AM

#

he wants it to set healing to false though? after his healing is done? so he can heal again later?

#

while he is in healing loop, he doesn't want another healing loop to go

jade abyss Jun 20, 2017, 11:59 AM

#

Your exitWith just exits the while Loop

leaden summit Jun 20, 2017, 12:00 PM

#

When I export CBA settings for like STHud and TFAR, can I just paste that straight into the mission init? Is that how it works?

little eagle Jun 20, 2017, 12:00 PM

#

^ This. The script just continues after the while loop

#

@leaden summit You copy paste it into a file named cba_settings.sqf

limpid pewter Jun 20, 2017, 12:00 PM

#

yeah dscha, i understand that now, but will putting another exitWith (with same conditons) after the scope of the while do loop then exit the scope of the if then?

leaden summit Jun 20, 2017, 12:01 PM

#

Cool thanks commy

jade abyss Jun 20, 2017, 12:01 PM

#

Nope, no idea why commy mentioned that ¯_(ツ)_/¯

limpid pewter Jun 20, 2017, 12:02 PM

#

ok, nvm thanks for you help, will just need to use trial and error for a bit, will report results

little eagle Jun 20, 2017, 12:02 PM

#

Dscha, it looks to me like the script tries to use exitWith like return

jade abyss Jun 20, 2017, 12:02 PM

#

Not rly^^

little eagle Jun 20, 2017, 12:02 PM

#

exit the script, not only the scope of the while loop

zenith edge Jun 20, 2017, 12:03 PM

#

there is nothing after the while loop though....?so just existing that loop...is fine?

jade abyss Jun 20, 2017, 12:03 PM

#

~~He just set the healing = false too late~~

#

wait, nvm

#

Where is that beeing executed?

limpid pewter Jun 20, 2017, 12:04 PM

#

the whole function?

zenith edge Jun 20, 2017, 12:04 PM

#

"[6:37 AM] Sneaky_Moldi: btw, all the params are passed into the function when the "handleDamage" EH is triggered"

jade abyss Jun 20, 2017, 12:04 PM

#

Yes. DamageEH?

limpid pewter Jun 20, 2017, 12:04 PM

#

yes using the handleDamage EH

jade abyss Jun 20, 2017, 12:04 PM

#

DamageEH fires multiple times, at each hit

#

means -> 1st hit -> healing = false;

#

2nd hit healing = false;

#

3rd healing = false;

#

always exiting "if (!healing) exitWith {player setDamage _dmg};"

little eagle Jun 20, 2017, 12:05 PM

#

And you can't use suspension commands there, so something is missing here.

#

sleep

limpid pewter Jun 20, 2017, 12:05 PM

#

@jade abyss yeah thats the idea

jade abyss Jun 20, 2017, 12:05 PM

#

That also

#

Sneaky, read again 😉

limpid pewter Jun 20, 2017, 12:05 PM

#

i don't want the script to heal if you get hit again

jade abyss Jun 20, 2017, 12:05 PM

#

DamageEH fires multiple times, at each hit

limpid pewter Jun 20, 2017, 12:05 PM

#

oh, why is that

little eagle Jun 20, 2017, 12:06 PM

#

So this is auto regen.

jade abyss Jun 20, 2017, 12:06 PM

#

HitPoints

#

+If i would be you -> Put that outside the Hit EH

limpid pewter Jun 20, 2017, 12:06 PM

#

ok, so one for chest, one for leg, etc..?

zenith edge Jun 20, 2017, 12:06 PM

#

the first set to false, may be more likely issue

jade abyss Jun 20, 2017, 12:06 PM

#

Yes Moldi

limpid pewter Jun 20, 2017, 12:06 PM

#

ok thanks

zenith edge Jun 20, 2017, 12:06 PM

#

the second firing of event, sets that value to false

jade abyss Jun 20, 2017, 12:06 PM

#

Put that outside, let it run in a loop.

#

done.

#

Deadly, shush

#

back to your basket

little eagle Jun 20, 2017, 12:07 PM

#

^ this tbqh. No need for an eh here.

zenith edge Jun 20, 2017, 12:07 PM

#

im eating bread

#

how did u know it was in a basket

jade abyss Jun 20, 2017, 12:07 PM

#

<- Halfgod in black.

limpid pewter Jun 20, 2017, 12:09 PM

#

btw yes commy it is an auto regen, basically i want the unit to start healing after 4 seconds of being hit. if the unit is hit again, it stops the healing process and starts it again

jade abyss Jun 20, 2017, 12:09 PM

#

Commy lost his glasses again, he is typing for ages now.

little eagle Jun 20, 2017, 12:10 PM

#

Why do people do this?

if (!(_damage> 0.99)) then {

When they could do this instead?

if (_damage <= 0.99) then {

limpid pewter Jun 20, 2017, 12:10 PM

#

yeah idk, it was 2 in the morning

jade abyss Jun 20, 2017, 12:10 PM

#

Yes, start it outside in a loop.

zenith edge Jun 20, 2017, 12:10 PM

#

not statements are fun is what my programming teacher said

#

even if they are bad

little eagle Jun 20, 2017, 12:11 PM

#

Just make it one loop that runs from mission start to end and that does nothing if not wounded.

zenith edge Jun 20, 2017, 12:11 PM

#

gross

#

😃

limpid pewter Jun 20, 2017, 12:12 PM

#

ok, so the handleDamage EH is useless for this application then?

little eagle Jun 20, 2017, 12:12 PM

#

I'd say so.

limpid pewter Jun 20, 2017, 12:12 PM

#

ok

jade abyss Jun 20, 2017, 12:12 PM

#

DamageEH:
LastTimeDamaged = diag_TickTime;

[]spawn
{
    while{true}do
    {
        uisleep 4;
        if(LastTimeDamaged + 4 < diag_TickTime)then
        {
            DoYouDamageStuffInHere;
        };
    };
}```

#

Just an example to get the idea.

little eagle Jun 20, 2017, 12:13 PM

#

uiSleep, so you can heal in SP by pausing the game. 🤔

jade abyss Jun 20, 2017, 12:13 PM

#

Who cares about SP

little eagle Jun 20, 2017, 12:13 PM

#

Someone might

limpid pewter Jun 20, 2017, 12:13 PM

#

that doesn't bother me commy, it is solely a MP mission

jade abyss Jun 20, 2017, 12:13 PM

#

See 😛

limpid pewter Jun 20, 2017, 12:13 PM

#

but thanks for the headsup

jade abyss Jun 20, 2017, 12:15 PM

#

Use that above as base, that works with -> If Hit -> Update the time. LastTimeDamaged + 4 = Time+4s

So it just updates, when the last time you get hit was min. 4s earlier

little eagle Jun 20, 2017, 12:15 PM

#

I vaguely remember healing by pausing the game actually being a bug in some FPS years ago.

jade abyss Jun 20, 2017, 12:16 PM

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

limpid pewter Jun 20, 2017, 12:16 PM

#

to calrify this ```sqf

DamageEH:
LastTimeDamaged = diag_TickTime;
would be this in the initPlayerLocal.sqf or whateversqf
player addEventHanlder ["HandleDamage", {LastTimeDamaged = diag_))tickTime;}];

jade abyss Jun 20, 2017, 12:16 PM

#

Without ))

limpid pewter Jun 20, 2017, 12:16 PM

#

lol typo

#

thanks tho

still forum Jun 20, 2017, 12:16 PM

#

Handler instead of Hanlder

jade abyss Jun 20, 2017, 12:16 PM

#

😄

#

Dedmen also can't type

limpid pewter Jun 20, 2017, 12:17 PM

#

ffs, leave me alone XD

little eagle Jun 20, 2017, 12:17 PM

#

wrong chat

jade abyss Jun 20, 2017, 12:17 PM

#

+Rememeber to use TAGs, when using GlobalVars

limpid pewter Jun 20, 2017, 12:18 PM

#

anyway, as usualy you guys are always a good help. thanks

jade abyss Jun 20, 2017, 12:18 PM

#

e.g. SM_LastTimeDamaged = diag_TickTime.

little eagle Jun 20, 2017, 12:18 PM

OFPEC tags!!

limpid pewter Jun 20, 2017, 12:18 PM

yeah makes sense, neat and tidy

zenith edge Jun 20, 2017, 12:20 PM
