#

So _newVehicle it a string untill after first run. Problem is they are srings at preinit not objects

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 8:41 AM

#

You're wrong somewhere. At preInit, there are no objects. Not even the module. So there cannot be a module script.

vivid quartz Jul 19, 2017, 8:43 AM

#

dont use modules at all, its way easier to do stuff for your needs outside editor

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 8:44 AM

#

Agreed.

cloud thunder Jul 19, 2017, 8:46 AM

#

How easy then would it be to get a list of applied sensors from editor and reapply to a respawned vehicle not using modules?

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 8:46 AM

#

10:44:53 ["a",[bis_o1,bis_o1]]   <<< initial respawn


10:45:17 ["a",[bis_o1,bis_o1]]  <<< cursorTarget setDamage 1
10:45:27 ["a",[bis_o1,bis_o1]]
10:45:34 ["a",[bis_o1,bis_o1]]

#

It worked for me just now four times in a row.

#

I think it would be easier if you write your own replacement for the vehicle respawn module.

cloud thunder Jul 19, 2017, 8:50 AM

#

What? what would be easier and for who?

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 8:51 AM

#

Me. :/

what do you mean by this?

Your easy alright

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 8:52 AM

I was about to write "anyone", but then I reconsidered.

#

["Plane", "init", {
    params ["_plane"];

    _plane enableVehicleSensor blah
}] call CBA_fnc_addClassEventHandler;

^ anyone can use this : P

not peolpe on an unmoded server wich is the majority on an umoded server or servers that use keys and no mods

#

Im not trying to make mod requirements. I keep them optional

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 8:54 AM

#

Fixed: The BIS_fnc_addStackedEventHandler function did not accept object argument or function name
Well, let's hope they didn't do what I think they did. Because it's broken for anything that isn't bool / number / array / string; not just object.

tough abyss Jul 19, 2017, 8:56 AM

#

so far i haven't seen any issues, but i didn't test extensivly

#

object, code and number and strig are working

Is this RscTitles's structure fine? ```CPP

h = "0.03 * safezoneH";
};
};
};
};

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 8:58 AM

#

Yeah, @cloud thunder . I guess the best you can do is to have a loop that does something like this:

// init
spawn {
    while {true} do {
        sleep 5;

        {

            if !(_x getVariable ["commy_isprocessed", false]) then {
                _x setVariable ["commy_isprocessed", true];

                _x enableVehicleSensors [blah];
            };

Oh, sweet. Very neat.

This looks through fewer and shorter lists.

But it can't find flying ammunition, butterflies, bullet holes and stuff like that.

@little eagle group == object afaik

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 9:01 AM

The ones from ACE it can find.

@tough abyss No, GROUP is a different type from OBJECT

tough abyss Jul 19, 2017, 9:01 AM

ok

cloud thunder Jul 19, 2017, 9:09 AM

#

You don't need a loop to enable vehicle sensors. Thats a waste and that loop is not detecting editor set sensors.

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 9:10 AM

#

OK, then you're on your own I guess.

tough abyss Jul 19, 2017, 9:20 AM

#

init.sqf

vivid quartz Jul 19, 2017, 9:32 AM

#

well you might want to run this server side , if its mp enviroment

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 9:33 AM

#

killed wouldn't trigger if this code only runs on the server when the plane was boarded when it died.

#

init.sqf

vivid quartz Jul 19, 2017, 9:34 AM

#

yeah then init.sqf

cloud thunder Jul 19, 2017, 9:34 AM

#

your passing old vehicle so is this from expression filed of Vehicle Respawn Module? Putting this in init.sqf would just store the function. It has to be called from somewhere..

vivid quartz Jul 19, 2017, 9:35 AM

#

dont use modulessssssss

#

this addEventHandler ["killed",{[_this select 0] spawn sh_fnc_vehRespawn}];

whre do you call the function?

vivid quartz Jul 19, 2017, 9:35 AM

Ok thanks

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 9:38 AM

The waitUntil {!isNull _new}; is superfluous. It's never null.

yeah,idk why i even put it after sleep lol

dropweapon doesnt work for me

still forum Jul 19, 2017, 10:19 AM

#

@vivid quartz You know you can use the private keyword right?

    private "_new";
    _new=objNull;

is essentially just a uglier and slower version of

private _new = objNull;

also Why do you initialize _new to objNull? You never use it till you assign it from createVehicle. Which overwrites anything you put into it before anyway.

vivid quartz Jul 19, 2017, 10:21 AM

#

yeah, that was bad of me, same like useless waitUntil there.

#

@mortal halo what do you mean dropweapon? give us an example of what youre trying to do

still forum Jul 19, 2017, 10:23 AM

Sqf command dropWeapon

mortal halo Jul 19, 2017, 10:23 AM

no im talking about the main exploit of putting weapons with items into a container

#

using action ["DropWeapon"

#

...

#

that's the only part of my lovely function that doesnt work

vivid quartz Jul 19, 2017, 10:25 AM

so you want to put a weapon into container?

mortal halo Jul 19, 2017, 10:25 AM

#

yeah, with attachments

#

on it

vivid quartz Jul 19, 2017, 10:25 AM

or currentWeapon whatever

mortal halo Jul 19, 2017, 10:26 AM

#

no no here's the deal

#

it works for me in the debug console

but as for my code, just doesn't work. i create a unit and make it drop

I don't think its working

mortal halo Jul 19, 2017, 10:29 AM

#

    _dummy = call fn_createEmptyUnit;

    {
        private ["_weapon"];
        _weapon = (_x select 0);
        _weapon = _weapon call BIS_fnc_baseWeapon;
        _dummy addWeapon _weapon;
        {
            if(_forEachIndex > 0 && !(_x isEqualTo "") && !(_x isEqualTo [])) then {
                _dummy addWeaponItem [_weapon, _x];
            };
        }foreach _x;
        hint primaryWeapon _dummy;
        _dummy action [ "DropWeapon", _container, _weapon ];
    }foreach _weapons;

    deleteVehicle _dummy;
};```

#

fn_createEmptyUnit simply creates a unit, removes all weapon , disables damage and disables AI

#

before calling the action, the hint returns the primary weapon added (ofcourse, im testing it with a primary weapon)

#

i've tried commenting deleteVehicle _dummy because it might delete the unit before the action is done

#

still doesnt work

vivid quartz Jul 19, 2017, 10:32 AM

#

@cloud thunder yeah, thats the point of it, it disables the sensors you dont want, and leaves the ones that you want

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 10:32 AM

#

@mortal halo DropWeapon action never worked in A3.

#

Reliably at least.

mortal halo Jul 19, 2017, 10:32 AM

#

damn

#

how would i add a weapon with attachments to a container then

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 10:33 AM

#

You can't.

mortal halo Jul 19, 2017, 10:33 AM

#

no

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 10:33 AM

#

You ran into the same issue as many before you did.

mortal halo Jul 19, 2017, 10:34 AM

#

but it works for my player

#

in the debug console i can make it happen

#

maybe its because i've disabled some of the AI?

#

i dunno

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 10:35 AM

#

It doesn't work reliably and there is no way to fix it.

peak plover Jul 19, 2017, 10:36 AM

#

There are workarounds 'tho

cloud thunder Jul 19, 2017, 10:36 AM

#

@vivid quartz But "Previosly Enabled Sensor" is not showing the sensors I enabled in the editor. By default all sensors are dissabled.

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 10:36 AM

#

Jigsor, the editor is bad. Just enable them manually...

vivid quartz Jul 19, 2017, 10:39 AM

#

@cloud thunder i don't really know whats wrong, i tried the script above with multiple sensors, and with 1 sensor, it works, use

vehicle enableVehicleSensor [componentName, state]

cloud thunder Jul 19, 2017, 10:43 AM

#

I know that command in that context example it works. @little eagle quit being useless

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 10:45 AM

this could've been solved hours ago ¯_(ツ)_/¯

But you didn't you just kept posting uselessness foy my application.

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 10:47 AM

cloud thunder Jul 19, 2017, 10:49 AM

#

Dude get overyour self I'm not using the repawn module here

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 10:49 AM

#

Good.

#

Now also drop the editor attributes and use the enable sensor commands manually.

cloud thunder Jul 19, 2017, 10:50 AM

#

And quit clogging with uselessness again

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 10:50 AM

#

But that IS the solution. How is the solution useless?

obsidian chasm Jul 19, 2017, 10:52 AM

#

Is it possible to make me and my friends spawn in the air in 'Escape Tanoa'? I can add the parachute/elavation in a fresh file but there must be code forcing my characters to spawn with a regular back pack. removebackpack this; this addbackpack "B_Parachute"; That's what I'm currently using to add backback

cloud thunder Jul 19, 2017, 10:52 AM

#

CBA or anything you poosted is not the solution for passing editor set sensor attributes to a respawned vehicle for unmodded

mortal halo Jul 19, 2017, 10:52 AM

#

okay commy well i've monitored the behaviour. for now i've found 2 things:
first - i can't deleteVehicle straight away because it takes a second until the weapon is actually dropped into the container

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 10:53 AM

#

I also posted an alternative for when you're not using any mods.

#

But you didn't like it.

mortal halo Jul 19, 2017, 10:53 AM

#

and seocnd it doesn't work when i spawn the dummy unit in [0,0,0]

#

probably because it is water, and the unit does an animation

peak plover Jul 19, 2017, 10:53 AM

#

@obsidian chasm I think escape tanoa uses vanilla respawn system and you don't respawn when you first start the mission, but jip is considered respawn. Do you just want to start in the air when you first start the mission or all the time?

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 10:53 AM

#

Yuval, give it up. DropWeapon doesn't work.

obsidian chasm Jul 19, 2017, 10:54 AM

#

@peak plover Just the first time so my friends are like "woah thats cool" 😛

mortal halo Jul 19, 2017, 10:54 AM

#

yeah but it does work. i've spawned the unit near me and everything works fine.

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 10:54 AM

#

It has many problems and you will not be able to solve them all.

#

No it doesn't work. Only working sometimes is the same as not working.

mortal halo Jul 19, 2017, 10:54 AM

#

I'd say it is more like "only working under certain conditions"

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 10:54 AM

#

Yes, but you cannot control these conditions.

#

For example, it will fail when you rotate your character while you're dropping the weapon.

#

That happens all the time.

mortal halo Jul 19, 2017, 10:55 AM

#

yeah but im not working on a character

#

im working on a disabledAI unit

#

it's just a placeholder for adding weapons into containers

#

it's tough

#

it's ugly

#

but its gonna work

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 10:56 AM

#

Do what you want, but I'll tell you that it will never work reliably.

mortal halo Jul 19, 2017, 10:56 AM

#

probably. but my project is all about inventory. i can't give up especially if i can make it work somehow haha

#

we'll see but thanks for the heads up

obsidian chasm Jul 19, 2017, 10:56 AM

#

@peak plover I guess a run down of my 'mission' would help?. We start with the regular gear and then use the 'Arsenal' to switch gear to our preferred stuff, we die and respawn using the arsenal gear.

mortal halo Jul 19, 2017, 10:57 AM

#

people said it wasn't possible to copy a container inside a container with all it's items

#

i've sat down for a few hours and made an algorithm for it

peak plover Jul 19, 2017, 10:57 AM

#

To start in air you can just place the units like 1km on top of the starting position

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 10:58 AM

#

It isn't possible. Try to copy a weapon with manually changed weapon attachments from one crate to another.

obsidian chasm Jul 19, 2017, 10:58 AM

#

@peak plover Yeah I did the elavation part but my soldiers don't spawn with a parachute, so they just kind of die.. haha

mortal halo Jul 19, 2017, 10:58 AM

#

@little eagle thats exactly what im doing

peak plover Jul 19, 2017, 10:58 AM

#

Do it in initPlayerLocal

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 10:58 AM

#

It doesn't work, because the game is missing required API.

obsidian chasm Jul 19, 2017, 10:58 AM

#

I'm guessing I need to edit the player loadouts or something?

peak plover Jul 19, 2017, 10:58 AM

#

create a file called initPlayerLocal.sqf inside the mission directory

mortal halo Jul 19, 2017, 10:58 AM

#

i've got everything working except weapons

#

so im trying to fix it

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 10:58 AM

#

Well, weapons don't work. And neither do backpacks btw.

obsidian chasm Jul 19, 2017, 10:58 AM

backpacks do

it's working for me

obsidian chasm Jul 19, 2017, 10:59 AM

#

it has all the player loadouts inside

mortal halo Jul 19, 2017, 10:59 AM

#

copied a backpack with items from a box to another

#

it's a tough algorithm

#

but it works

#

the only thing i have not been able to deal with was weapons inside backpacks

#

vest

#

etc.

#

we'll see

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 11:01 AM

#

Yuval, you're reinventing the wheel. And everyone before you got stuck on weapon attachments.

cloud thunder Jul 19, 2017, 11:01 AM

#

I can't find your solution commy2 could you post again?

peak plover Jul 19, 2017, 11:01 AM

#

in it you can add ```sqf
params ["_player","_jip"];
if !(_jip) then {
_pos = getPosATL player;
_player setposATL [(_pos select 0),(_pos select 1),(_pos select 2)+1000];
removeBackpack _player;
_player addBackpack "B_Parachute";
};

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 11:02 AM

    while {true} do {
        sleep 5;

        {

            if !(_x getVariable ["commy_isprocessed", false]) then {
                _x setVariable ["commy_isprocessed", true];

                _x enableVehicleSensors [blah];
            };
        } forEach allMissionObjects "B_Plane_Fighter_01_F";
    };
};

obsidian chasm Jul 19, 2017, 11:02 AM

#

@peak plover I should add that in and not remove something?

tame portal Jul 19, 2017, 11:02 AM

#

@cloud thunder How does the editor save what sensors a vehicle should have enabled when it spawns?

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 11:03 AM

#

OPTiX, it's Eden attributes.

tame portal Jul 19, 2017, 11:03 AM

#

Never worked with Eden before so I don't what that is :D always end up not using modules and such

cloud thunder Jul 19, 2017, 11:03 AM

#

I already commented on that. Again, that does not gather sensor attibutes from editor and that loop is usless

tame portal Jul 19, 2017, 11:03 AM

#

*know

peak plover Jul 19, 2017, 11:03 AM

#

Yes, it will spawn any player that did not jip in 1500 meters of it's positions and give a parachute. It might not work, because it might set the position after the init in some other script

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 11:04 AM

#

Jigsor, you can't gather the sensor attributes from the editor.

cloud thunder Jul 19, 2017, 11:04 AM

#

@tame portal mission.sqm I suppose as all editor placed objects

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 11:05 AM

#

The loop is not useless. It finds newly respawned planes and applies the sensors you want.

peak plover Jul 19, 2017, 11:05 AM

#

@mortal halo You can't loot weapons with attachments on them in PUBG, it seems to be an industry wide problem /jk

cloud thunder Jul 19, 2017, 11:05 AM

#

You don't need a loop to apply sensors

peak plover Jul 19, 2017, 11:05 AM

#

How does ace 3 handle looting weapons from unconcious people?

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 11:06 AM

#

But you need one to find freshly spawned planes.

#

How is this so difficult to understand?

tame portal Jul 19, 2017, 11:06 AM

#

@cloud thunder Can you give each jet a unique name in the editor? Or is it a requirement that that is dynamic

still forum Jul 19, 2017, 11:06 AM

#

@mortal halo You can probably create a box with weapons and attachments by creating a box in CfgVehicles.

obsidian chasm Jul 19, 2017, 11:06 AM

#

@peak plover No parachute spawned 😦

cloud thunder Jul 19, 2017, 11:07 AM

If the names are fixed, I'd simply use the loop commy proposed to initially make an array with each objects unique name and their configuration and in case a new vehicle respawns you just stringify that object again and look in your array for the corresponding sensor settings

cba has functions to add stuff to classes, right?

obsidian chasm Jul 19, 2017, 11:09 AM

@peak plover Yeah it doesnt seem to work

#

cba has functions to add stuff to classes, right?
It has a function to add eventhandlers to classes.

tame portal Jul 19, 2017, 11:09 AM

#

Look for all jets, save vehicle name and configuration in array, Mark the vehicle as "processed", wait until a new jet pops up that isn't processed yet, look for corresponding configuration, apply if found, if not register new jet @cloud thunder

#

Only works with fixed names though

peak plover Jul 19, 2017, 11:10 AM

init eventhandeler for plane class and boom

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 11:10 AM

#

I suggested that too, but he's using no mods.

tame portal Jul 19, 2017, 11:11 AM

#

My solution is what commy posted but a bit extended to fit your need "Each jet may have a unique configuration"

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 11:11 AM

#

And he is hellbent on using the eden attributes for the sensors even though that is the reason it doesn't work in the first place...

peak plover Jul 19, 2017, 11:12 AM

#

Sooo, the eden does not work and he wants to make it work? don't you still need to have a mod to fiddle with the editor ?

#

Creating a custom mod would be far harder than using cba...

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 11:13 AM

#

They don't work in conjunction with the respawn module. Because respawning vehicles does not carry over the eden attribute things.

peak plover Jul 19, 2017, 11:13 AM

#

Aaaa

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 11:13 AM

#

Vehicles can't really respawn. You just create a new one of the same type and delete the wreck.

#

It's different from respawning player units.

Is a sleeping script in any way bad for performance (if you don't care if the slept time is accurate or not) (in scheduled)? The script is just skipped in a frame if the sleep time has not expired yet, right? So it wouldnt use any additional time of the 3ms per frame

still forum Jul 19, 2017, 11:13 AM

#

true

#

the engine has to check if the sleep is over though. But that's <5us (on my CPU. Better CPU = less time)

@obsidian chasm ```sqf

Well, the script is checked every frame if the sleep timer has passed.

Also if the sleep is not over the script get's pushed to the end of the queue

obsidian chasm Jul 19, 2017, 11:15 AM

#

ok so that works @peak plover

still forum Jul 19, 2017, 11:15 AM

#

so If you have a high load on scheduled it only get's checked every few frames and doesn't impact the performance of others

tame portal Jul 19, 2017, 11:15 AM

#

So it's guaranteed that it will be one of the last scripts checked per frame?

#

Ah okay

#

Yeah, makes sense if the 3ms have already been used up, it may just skip it a few frames

vivid quartz Jul 19, 2017, 11:16 AM

it obviously wouldnt work if you paste this in debug console:

params ["_player","_jip"];
if !(_jip) then {
    _pos = getPosATL player;
    _player setposATL [(_pos select 0),(_pos select 1),(_pos select 2)+1000];
    removeBackpack _player;

You can add code to the respawn module

still forum Jul 19, 2017, 11:16 AM

#

not the last per frame. It starts from the start of the queue each frame and runs for 3ms. Each script that was executed get's pushed to the far end of the queue

#

so every other script will execute atleast once before your sleeping script is checked again

Ok so

Scripts not executed in a frame are higher priority next frame due to them being "left over in the queue"

#

tough abyss Jul 19, 2017, 5:27 PM

#

[{}, {}] call CBA_fnc_waitUntilAndExecute doesn't act as a waitUntil for the whole script, right?

#

No.

#

Nice, it works. Thanks.

#

Although I still don't understand this line 😕 ```SQF
waitUntil {(_this select 0) ctrlSetText str time; false};

#

Why do I need waitUntil and false?

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 5:35 PM

#

It's an infinite loop.

#

The code block after waitUntil is executed every frame* until it reports true.

#

So never. It runs forever.

tough abyss Jul 19, 2017, 5:36 PM

#

Oh, ok.

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 5:36 PM

#

Which means that every frame* the control sets to the current time.

tough abyss Jul 19, 2017, 5:36 PM

#

So it's 2 parts, (_this select 0) ctrlSetText str time and false.

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 5:37 PM

#

Yes, two statements. Statements are separated with semi colons.

tough abyss Jul 19, 2017, 5:37 PM

#

1st part is the actual code we need to run, 2nd part is there to report false to waitUntil.

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 5:38 PM

#

You can have any number of statements. It's just that the return value of a code block is the same as the return value of the last statement.

#

false is a command that always reports the boolean false.

#

So false being the last statement in the code block means, that the code block reports false.

tough abyss Jul 19, 2017, 5:38 PM

#

And waitUntil wants true.

#

So it runs again.

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 5:38 PM

#

And if the waitUntil code block reports false, the code block is executed again in the next frame*.

tough abyss Jul 19, 2017, 5:39 PM

#

Alright that makes sense, thank you every much 😄

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 5:39 PM

#

If the code block of waitUntil reports true, then the code continues after the waitUntil command.

There are no "default data types"

params [["_var", dataTypeValue, [expectedDifferentDataTypesArray]]]

*expected

#

dataType value is what? "ARRAY" ?

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 6:32 PM

#

It's an array of samples of all data types that are accepted.

rotund cypress Jul 19, 2017, 6:32 PM

#

no

#

i.e [] for array

#

you can also have like ["string"]

peak plover Jul 19, 2017, 6:32 PM

[] means all are accepted

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 6:32 PM

#

_side = [_this] param [0,[west,east,resistance,civilian],[[]]];

rotund cypress Jul 19, 2017, 6:33 PM

#

which would mean if not [] is passed, it will default to ["string"]

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 6:33 PM

#

That means only array is accepted

rotund cypress Jul 19, 2017, 6:33 PM

#

@peak plover per your example, you would default to an array [west, east...] if not they are passed

#

and it would have those values

peak plover Jul 19, 2017, 6:34 PM

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 6:34 PM

#

_this is empty

#

call myfnc

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 6:35 PM

The unary call does that.

};

peak plover Jul 19, 2017, 6:37 PM

#

#

It does not seem to get _this from anywhere

#

Ohh I think, it's because [_this]

#

means it's always an array

#

nvm, it should not

little eagle Jul 19, 2017, 6:39 PM

#

Then it wouldn't complain about strings.

#

systemChat str [_this];

Just add this ^ line and see what it is.

You couldn't implement the BIS stacked eventhandlers yourself. At least before they added those addMissionEventHandler versions and now rewrote the function to use those. This thinking is what made Exile break when used with TFAR...

why did exile break when used with tfar?

Used onPlayerConnected instead of the stackable version, so TFAR, which did use the stackable version correctly, overwrote it.

@little eagle Ill give that a go, its behavior is very weird. Sometimes certain players CAN see the dead bodies from the wreck, but others cant. Almost like its a locality issue, but im not sure. @peak plover Thats not really the issue from what I read in that ticket, but might be along the same lines. I just want everyone to be able to see the dead bodies, for revive scripts etc. But instead the pilot's body seems to be the only one that comes out of a deleted vehicle wreck most of the time

Yes, I assume this is similar, it's pretty much unability to setPos or do anythign fun with units that die inside vehicles

warm gorge Jul 20, 2017, 9:48 AM

#

Well thats the thing im not doing anything with the units, other than cleaning up destroyed vehicle wrecks in a cleanup script

peak plover Jul 20, 2017, 9:48 AM

#

I literally had to add a getVariable ["deleted",false]; to my clean up script, because dead units won't sometimes delete from vehicles and I couldn't even setpos them

little eagle Jul 20, 2017, 9:48 AM

#

Can't you just delete the wreck and then create some new bodies?

warm gorge Jul 20, 2017, 9:49 AM

#

I probably could, but silly that should be needed. Dead bodies should just eject out of a vehicle when its deleted like it does for the pilot

little eagle Jul 20, 2017, 9:49 AM

#

delete crew
create equal amount of corpses around the wreck
delete wreck

peak plover Jul 20, 2017, 9:49 AM

#

@little eagle 1. won't work sometimes

little eagle Jul 20, 2017, 9:49 AM

#

Maybe they should, but they don't, so there's that.

#

@peak plover

mark crew with variable
create equal amount of corpses around the wreck
delete wreck
delete all remaining marked corpses

#

Put all that into a function called "My_fnc_cleanupWreck". Call function when needed.

peak plover Jul 20, 2017, 9:51 AM

#

Yes.

little eagle Jul 20, 2017, 9:51 AM

#

done

#

Sure it sucks, but it's not like this will hurt performance in any way, so...

warm gorge Jul 20, 2017, 9:52 AM

#

Just did a quick search cause I thought I had asked this a couple months ago, turned out I did. @jade abyss Suggested creating a temporary unit in each seat of dead units, to 'force them out' in a way. I might give that a go before resorting to creating bodies myself

little eagle Jul 20, 2017, 9:52 AM

#

I tried that, but couldn't get all units out as the dummies would push out each other and not the original crew.

peak plover Jul 20, 2017, 9:53 AM

#

You can also add a onKilled EH and if the unit is about to die inside a vehicle, drop the guy out next to vehicle and kill him

little eagle Jul 20, 2017, 9:53 AM

#

Only one AI dropped out and then it stopped and shoved out my dummies instead.

#

killed eventhandler triggers after the unit is dead, so I assume that that changes nothing.

icy raft Jul 20, 2017, 10:26 AM

#

Hey ppl! What's up? Are subarrays passed by value or by reference when you do a select?

#

I want to store lots of data in a single array, but want to change stuff inside the subarrays, can do manual sets but it's a pain

tough abyss Jul 20, 2017, 10:32 AM

#

AFAIK select copies all filtered elements...

#

okay, u need reference...

icy raft Jul 20, 2017, 10:32 AM

#

Yep

#

That's sad

#

Having data moving around for no reason hurts my heart

tough abyss Jul 20, 2017, 10:33 AM

#

u could filter with count...

icy raft Jul 20, 2017, 10:33 AM

#

😦 😦

#

hmmm

#

that might work

peak plover Jul 20, 2017, 10:35 AM

#

_array = [[1,2,3],[2,3,4]];
_array2 = _array select 0;
_array2 pushback 99;
systemChat _array //[[1,2,3,99],[2,3,4]]

#

_array = [[1,2,3],[2,3,4]];
_array2 = [] + ( _array select 0); // not [] but ()
_array2 pushback 99;
systemChat _array //[[1,2,3],[2,3,4]]

little eagle Jul 20, 2017, 10:38 AM

#

Are subarrays passed by value or by reference when you do a select?
reference

tough abyss Jul 20, 2017, 10:38 AM

#

wow

#

thats surprising for me

#

could have caused so much bugs ^^

little eagle Jul 20, 2017, 10:39 AM

#

Think of arrays as objects you can put stuff into.

#

And keep in mind that + and - and some other commands create new such "objects".

peak plover Jul 20, 2017, 10:41 AM

#

ohh yeah + (array select 0) works as well as [] + (array select 0)

tough abyss Jul 20, 2017, 10:41 AM

#

thats clear but somehow I thought that select would alway do a copy for the resulting array

little eagle Jul 20, 2017, 10:41 AM

#

I think copying the array is the exception.

tame portal Jul 20, 2017, 10:41 AM

#

Yes

little eagle Jul 20, 2017, 10:42 AM

#

Only +, -, select CODE, apply and arrayIntersect copy the array.

tough abyss Jul 20, 2017, 10:42 AM

#

I even wondered how select is so fast while copying 😃

tame portal Jul 20, 2017, 10:42 AM

#

You get a reference to the object/array as you would in other programming languages

tough abyss Jul 20, 2017, 10:42 AM

#

but it doesn't

tame portal Jul 20, 2017, 10:42 AM

#

@little eagle select copies the array?

peak plover Jul 20, 2017, 10:42 AM

#

I had a huge array and didn't know that it edits the array if I use set and pushback etc. shit confused me so ad

little eagle Jul 20, 2017, 10:42 AM

#

select CODE

#

not select NUMBER

tame portal Jul 20, 2017, 10:43 AM

#

Ah okay

tough abyss Jul 20, 2017, 10:43 AM

#

ah okay

#

that sehd some light

#

shed

#

some more light ^^

#

and reduces my bug count cause I mostly use it with CODE

tame portal Jul 20, 2017, 10:44 AM

#

Actually the fact that you get references of arrays is quite handy

little eagle Jul 20, 2017, 10:44 AM

#

Yes, which is why it sucks that select CODE, apply and arrayIntersect always copy it.

peak plover Jul 20, 2017, 10:45 AM

#

It's handy if you know about it

little eagle Jul 20, 2017, 10:45 AM

#

Would've been more useful if they didn't.

tame portal Jul 20, 2017, 10:45 AM

#

Should be included in the wiki what uses references and what not, as far as I know that isn't mentioned in the corresponding wiki pages

peak plover Jul 20, 2017, 10:46 AM

#

If you have no clue, it can be a pain. I thought _local ment that I could do whatever I want to the array with no consequences... ohh, I've never been so wrong in my entire life

tame portal Jul 20, 2017, 10:47 AM

#

Well it's kind of unexpected to be honest. In a language that doesnt use objects atleast

little eagle Jul 20, 2017, 10:48 AM

#

I wouldn't rely on using array references if it's not needed. And it seldom is. I think it hurts readability. I would only worry about it, if it can save performance. Because copying arrays is pretty slow.

icy raft Jul 20, 2017, 10:53 AM

#

Wow! @little eagle as helpful as ever!

rotund cypress Jul 20, 2017, 10:55 AM

#

Hey guys, is there any style or type to invert progress bar ctrl so 0 is at right and 1 is at left?

#

Or do I have to do that myself in code?

little eagle Jul 20, 2017, 10:55 AM

#

1 - _progress
?

rotund cypress Jul 20, 2017, 10:55 AM

#

Ye of course, was just wondering if there was any way to just do it via ctrl instead

little eagle Jul 20, 2017, 10:56 AM

#

I don't think so.

rotund cypress Jul 20, 2017, 10:56 AM

#

Alright, thanks

icy raft Jul 20, 2017, 10:56 AM

#

I didn't know about that, and it's really good to know. I doubted how RVE stored data

rotund cypress Jul 20, 2017, 11:21 AM

#

@peak plover is that a display?

peak plover Jul 20, 2017, 11:21 AM

#

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/createDiaryRecord No

#

my goal:
Add a clickable entry in the briefing that will run a function

#

I want to avoid using addAction

#

But I want the diary entry to be removed once it's used

rotund cypress Jul 20, 2017, 11:22 AM

#

What do you want to edit? Not the command itself I suppose?

peak plover Jul 20, 2017, 11:23 AM

#

The diaryRecord that I will create with this will have a clickable function. I want the diary entry to get out/be deleted/edited

rotund cypress Jul 20, 2017, 11:23 AM

#

<execute expression="Code to execute">Text</execute>

peak plover Jul 20, 2017, 11:24 AM

#

Ok, but how do I get rid of this diary entry now?

#

Once it's used I don't want it to clutter the diary

rotund cypress Jul 20, 2017, 11:24 AM

#

Not sure if you can

#

I cant find a remove command or similar

peak plover Jul 20, 2017, 11:24 AM

#

Yeah, I tried google, he was not very helpful

rotund cypress Jul 20, 2017, 11:24 AM

#

Ye I don't think you can

peak plover Jul 20, 2017, 11:25 AM

#

What are my alternatives?

rotund cypress Jul 20, 2017, 11:25 AM

#

Make a display

peak plover Jul 20, 2017, 11:25 AM

#

I feel like if I make a dialog it will be alot of trouble to get it to work well and not be annoying

#

Because if it appears when I open the map, it might obscure the thing

#

...actually

rotund cypress Jul 20, 2017, 11:26 AM

#

If you have troubles with getting displays to work and want an easy way, I guess you could use something as http://convert.sqf.io/

#

Converts it from GUI editor directly into SQF

#

MAybe something for you

peak plover Jul 20, 2017, 11:28 AM

#

ugh.. the a3 gui editor is weird

rotund cypress Jul 20, 2017, 11:28 AM

#

How so?

#

I know it's not the best tool out there

#

But its quick and easy

peak plover Jul 20, 2017, 11:29 AM

#

Ok new plan that might work:

Choosing the "COMMANDER" diary entry will execute code to open the dialog and unchoosing it will close it

#

I got the dialog example from workshop and used that as a base and got it working pretty good

#

But I'm not entirely sure how to make it so that the dimentions remain good even with 4:3 or smaller sizes etc.

rotund cypress Jul 20, 2017, 11:38 AM

#

safezone or pixelGrid

warm gorge Jul 20, 2017, 11:41 AM

#

Yeah the arma 3 gui editor isnt the best, few known bugs and it doesnt have many controls added

peak plover Jul 20, 2017, 11:42 AM

#

I assume I can create like custom buttons dynamically? How hard would it be to create a dynamic system similar to the diary, but having the ability to add/remove/edit elements at any time?

warm gorge Jul 20, 2017, 11:44 AM

#

Theres plenty of commands for making controls dynamically. Just a matter of managing them in an array or something for easily adding/removing/editing them

peak plover Jul 20, 2017, 11:46 AM

#

I guess that's what I'll have to do. I could still use the briefing, but it might get cluttered

mortal halo Jul 20, 2017, 12:44 PM

#

is there a way to create custom event handlers for objects?

#

i need to create an eventhandler to an object and call it later

#

and i want to refrain from using waitUntil because I like 60 fps

warm gorge Jul 20, 2017, 12:46 PM

#

What are you trying to do?

rotund cypress Jul 20, 2017, 12:46 PM

#

Well, either add an eventhandler

#

You can also use scripted eventhandlers

#

But really no use for it

#

@mortal halo

#

like object addEventHandler ...

#

However, in ArmA, you can not make your own eventhandler.

mortal halo Jul 20, 2017, 12:56 PM

#

i need to check if a container's cargo has changed

#

and it changes via script so you can't use inventory related stuff

indigo snow Jul 20, 2017, 12:58 PM

#

Sure the basics are pretty simple if you can also always fire it yourself.

#

E.g. you control the scripts that change the inventory

#

Just maintain a list with all the functions that need to be called and a function that calls all of them

@obsidian chasm, you're building a mod, not a script if you go that route. It's not a problem, but know that players joining your mission will need the mod to get the intended effect.

Would be better to script it with an event handler.
