oh yeah, silly me

ivory vector Sep 2, 2017, 3:44 PM

#

https://gyazo.com/4fbfe99696d83cc34b97badfaa466089 this is what i mean, the actual controls group is now being create behind the background .. could it be because the main dialog is using a controls group ?

rancid ruin Sep 2, 2017, 3:45 PM

#

oh man control groups are fun

#

i bet you're having a really nice time doing complicated UIs in arma

ivory vector Sep 2, 2017, 3:45 PM

#

Does it not like controlsGroups being made over the top of ControlGroups ?

#

Yeah.... no xD

#

im going to take the main dialog out of a group, and see what happens.

#

im guess either idc issue or it doesnt like controlsGroups over controlsGroups.

rancid ruin Sep 2, 2017, 3:46 PM

#

i could never get control groups working in the way i wanted

#

what i ended up always doing was just adding different controls to my own imaginary "group" via script and just animating them or whatever that way

ivory vector Sep 2, 2017, 3:47 PM

#

Mine are working ok, the only thing i dont like is each message needs 2 controls ... so if i want 100 messages to be store... need 200 controls xD

#

hence https://armadevs.com/test/dickhead.php?amount=100

rancid ruin Sep 2, 2017, 3:47 PM

#

why? use pages

#

show 5 message templates at once or whatever, load in next 5 messages each time you click next page

#

that kinda thing

ivory vector Sep 2, 2017, 3:47 PM

#

i just got mine scrolling xD

#

Im gunna do a notification system using the same idea as this messaging system tho 😃

#

ok, so I have narrowed down the issue to 2 things.

#

Idc issue, or ControlsGroups over ControlsGroups

simple solstice Sep 2, 2017, 3:50 PM

#

@indigo snow so does the example

lineIntersects [ eyePos player, aimPos chopper, player, chopper]

indigo snow Sep 2, 2017, 3:51 PM

#

that would check if theres something between the player and the chopper

#

the command itself just checks if anything intersects the line between two positions

#

and you can give it up to two objects to ignore

#

it also wouldnt change output if you turn around in place, since eyePos would (almost) not change

#

I think what you actually want is if the player is looking directly at jerry's head, @simple solstice ?

ivory vector Sep 2, 2017, 3:55 PM

Why i has to do mine hard way

#

_MessageBox = _display ctrlCreate ["Lega_Tablet_Messaging_MessagesGroup",9999];

Sorry man, can't really help you there, but good luck!

#

Hmm, Land_PortableLight_Double_F wouldn't fall under Lamps_Base_F, would it? To add both portable lights, would PortableLight_Base_F work?

Making a multiplayer script to find how many Independent-side players are in one of three zones (north, central, or south Stratis) every 3 minutes. What's the best way to do this? I am planning on finding locations of all Independent players with a server side script, then comparing the values to find which values put them in one of the three regions. I could probably do this client-side to make the code cleaner, but...

spice kayak Sep 2, 2017, 4:49 PM

#

I mean, there is only two of them, so I can just add them both.

#

Lightning, if you call that with a markerName it should return all the units in that area.

spice kayak Sep 2, 2017, 4:55 PM

#

Wouldn't that be all units, not just the independents?

#

I wish there was a

spice kayak Sep 2, 2017, 4:56 PM

#

Huh, that worked. I figured I'd just load into the mission and use the EMP. If it turned out the lights, then they were part of the Lamps_Base_F group, and they turned off \o/

#

Oh god, yes.

#

I was looking for that last night.

#

#define ALL_UNITS(var) call {private _r = []; {_r append _x;} forEach (allGroups select {side _x isEqualTo var}); _r}

You could use a macro.

One thing I hate about Arma is how lights shine 'through' things. Like, if there was a bright light on the other side of the building, it'll still illuminate the ground and everything on the other side of it.

little eagle Sep 2, 2017, 5:03 PM

#

Yeah, it's pretty cheap.

indigo snow Sep 2, 2017, 5:20 PM

Alpha lighting man

#

It was pretty

spice kayak Sep 2, 2017, 5:25 PM

#

I actually don't remember that, even though I did play during the alpha.

#

One thing I do notice has changed would be Chemlights. Man, I remember when one of them could light up at least 3 or 4 meters. Now you'll be lucky to get half of one.

just another quick one, is there a way of searching through listboxes and changing the text whilst the dialog is open, or would i need to refresh the list ?

slender halo Sep 2, 2017, 7:51 PM

in Surface Painter i made a search field, i did it by refreshing the list and it works fine

I have managed to get this so far with my goal of removing ".p3d" from a model name and adding the prefix to it.
Are there any obvious issues I am missing?

indigo snow Sep 2, 2017, 7:53 PM

#

you can drop most of the assignments since you never use them again. the last str before the hint is also kinda uneccesary

runic surge Sep 2, 2017, 7:55 PM

@tame portal Woops, made a mistake. I thought this was supposed to be broadcasted to all clients.

tame portal Sep 2, 2017, 8:22 PM

#

@subtle ore I thought you meant global across the namespace, didn't know the context was global aka over network

subtle ore Sep 2, 2017, 8:23 PM

#

@tame portal In any script, variables without an underscore will be global to anything on that machine afaik. I thought the intentions was global over every machine on the network. Not sure 🤷

indigo snow Sep 2, 2017, 8:47 PM

#

global != public

#

... unless its a command with global arguments and global effect 😄

delicate totem Sep 2, 2017, 8:49 PM

#

What is the difference between local and global arguments. I understand effect but not arguments.

indigo snow Sep 2, 2017, 8:52 PM

#

If the object is local to another client, the command wont work

#

Every object is local to either a client or the server

#

So player objects are local to the players client, and say they drive a vehicle the vehicle is local to them, too

#

Global argument doesnt care if its on another client, at all

@indigo snow i know for sure that had issues in MP

since i made a lot of test on this function, here are two ways to get it to work in MP

#

createVehicleLocal then BIS_fnc_unitPlay on every machines
problem: if players get in the vehicle there are pos sync glitchs

#

transfer the ownership of the group of the driver of the vehicle to a player then BIS_fnc_unitPlay on owner's machine, this way players can get in the vehicle without positions glitch

Yup

#

I prefer eventhandlers tbh

long trail Sep 2, 2017, 10:24 PM

#

You could use "hit" with a check for lifeState as suggested

#

Fires after damage is dealt so might catch the change in lifestate. Not sure though, not tried it personally

atomic epoch Sep 2, 2017, 10:27 PM

#

isUnconcious = false;
player addEventHandler ["Hit", {    
    last_instigator = (_this select 3);
    if (lifeState player == "INCAPACITATED" && !isUnconcious) then {
        isUnconcious = true;
    };
}];

player addEventHandler ["KILLED", {isUnconcious = false}];

it works 😄

@indigo snow public across the network? That wouldn't make sense, especially when something is executed locally, unless of course like you said it has global effects versus the client only changes.

indigo snow Sep 2, 2017, 10:35 PM

#

public as in publicVariable, or the public flag of setVariable

subtle ore Sep 2, 2017, 10:37 PM

#

Wait a sec, is it automatically a public variable if not specified? 0_0

#

no usage of setVariable in that piece of code anyways.

Any reliable method to prevent death of a player?

#

I'd assume handledamage does the job, however does anyone know what critical parts of the player will result in death?

rancid ruin Sep 3, 2017, 2:56 AM

#

what do you mean by what critical parts of the player will result in death??

#

damage EH checking if dealt damage will kill unit - that works fine yeah

#

afaik death in arma just happens when your damage hits 1.00, that's it

tame portal Sep 3, 2017, 3:04 AM

#

Yeah, but your damage consists of all your different body parts

#

I know that I can prevent death of a player by not letting his overall damage reach 1

#

but the question is which specific body parts have to stay < 1 to not make the player die

#

I'd guess head, neck, torso

#

I just need to make the player not die ^^

does postInit have any ordering at all?

#

or are all scripts spawned ?

is postInit in 1 thread, or are all functions with postInit = 1 in separate threads?

robust hollow Sep 3, 2017, 8:27 AM

im pretty sure post init functions are called from within a scheduled script, and they execute in the order they are in the cfg.

I require that this script runs after groups are initialized, but before everything in postInit

hey guys, just wondering... is it possible to use "waitUntil" in a loop whilst the rest of the script continues on?

peak plover Sep 3, 2017, 8:45 AM

#

yes and no

tiny elm Sep 3, 2017, 8:46 AM

#

because I don't want to have to use a while loop

peak plover Sep 3, 2017, 8:47 AM

while {true} do {

            //stuff after waitUntil
        };

if we use sleep 1; in both, waitUntil takes more resources

#

if you want to just refule,when empty. But if you want a reful every 4 hours..

tiny elm Sep 3, 2017, 8:52 AM

#

I looked at that event handler... if it refuels when empty won't it crash still?

peak plover Sep 3, 2017, 8:52 AM

#

Why would it?

tiny elm Sep 3, 2017, 8:53 AM

#

I just haven't tested it yet, I was under the assumption it would just go for a dive bomb

peak plover Sep 3, 2017, 8:54 AM

#

if you have an ai in a helicopter, cursorObject spawn {_this setFuel 0;sleep 3; _this setFuel 1;}

tiny elm Sep 3, 2017, 8:54 AM

#

whereas refuelling it before it is empty will keep it on a continuous waypoint?

peak plover Sep 3, 2017, 8:55 AM

#

And since it's a eventhandler, it means that it runs instantly, when event fires, so it would be exactly like this:{_this setFuel 0; _this setFuel 1;}

tiny elm Sep 3, 2017, 8:55 AM

@indigo snow
You made a mistake:

array = array pushback (array deleteAt 0)

pushBack manipulates the array just like append and afterwards reports the size of the array.
It should be:

array pushBack (array deleteAt 0);

Which is slightly better than append [...].
I think you confused pushBack with +.

indigo snow Sep 3, 2017, 9:40 AM

#

Well, it was during a 3am toilet visit 😅

little eagle Sep 3, 2017, 9:41 AM

#

This is also how you can shuffle an array.

for "_" from 1 to count _array do {
    _array pushBack (_array deleteAt floor random count _array);
};

indigo snow Sep 3, 2017, 9:43 AM

Worldtoscreen the position and check the distance to screen center in screen coords?

little eagle Sep 3, 2017, 9:43 AM

#

screenToWorld [0.5,0.5];

#

Reports AGL

indigo snow Sep 3, 2017, 9:44 AM

#

That has issues if the background isnt ground, though

little eagle Sep 3, 2017, 9:44 AM

#

But ignores (terrain) objects.

#

Well if it reports nothing or whatever the fallback is, then you know that the player isn't looking at whatever position.

#

i.e. looking into the sky

simple solstice Sep 3, 2017, 9:45 AM

#

I need to check if player is looking at a wheel for example

#

I get the selection position, modeltoworld and then use screentoworld

#

am I thinking right?

little eagle Sep 3, 2017, 9:46 AM

#

That will be very difficult, because a wheel could have any selection / proxy name depending on what vehicle.

#

It will be different for any vehicle class.

simple solstice Sep 3, 2017, 9:47 AM

#

after checking with many mods they usually have wheel_1_1_unhide/hide

indigo snow Sep 3, 2017, 5:31 PM

What do you mean with popping? Either way, the assignment operator = doesnt return the assigned value in arma, if thats closer to your question about that

@little eagle - late stage SQF.

@digital pulsar The remote script is executed before the players exist

digital pulsar Sep 3, 2017, 6:13 PM

#

the function spawns a piece of code with waitUntil {!isNull player} shouldn't that mitigate it?

little eagle Sep 3, 2017, 6:18 PM

#

Maybe you can't set the position of the player at mission start, because the game or another script resets it.

#

Why is this remoteExec'd anyway? Please don't tell me this is another one of these server only mods.

digital pulsar Sep 3, 2017, 6:18 PM

works in hosted though

MYT_startPoint is randomized

#

alternatively i could just pubVar this variable and handle the rest locally

#

which sounds much simpler

little eagle Sep 3, 2017, 6:24 PM

Timing on dedi vs local hosted is very different, because the server in loca hosted has to do all the client / interface stuff too.

the code to draw the icon works, the code to delete the event handler works, too. I think me nesting it inside that if is the problem? variable in wrong scope? but i don't know how to fix it. if i put the code block to delete the evh in the very bottom only, works like a charm and deletes them after the sleep 20;

robust hollow Sep 3, 2017, 11:44 PM

#

yea it wont know the private variable cause its inside the evh code

waxen tide Sep 3, 2017, 11:45 PM

just so i get that correctly, it will not know _deploy_marker1, yes?

robust hollow Sep 3, 2017, 11:45 PM

correct

waxen tide Sep 3, 2017, 11:46 PM

#

is there an elegant solution to this?

robust hollow Sep 3, 2017, 11:47 PM

#

the easiest way is to use global variables instead.

waxen tide Sep 3, 2017, 11:47 PM

#

maybe if i create it right in the eventhandler?

#

then it should be in the correct scope

robust hollow Sep 3, 2017, 11:49 PM

#

no that wouldnt work. i dont know how to explain it properly but ill try.

every time the evh code is called its in its own scope stack. so it wont know any local variables set before the evh was set and wont share any variables it sets inside the evh between calls.

waxen tide Sep 3, 2017, 11:50 PM

#

i see

#

but if i create and delete the evh "_deploy_marker1" inside the evh code block of the mousemoving evh?

robust hollow Sep 3, 2017, 11:53 PM

#

you would need to define _deploy_marker1 inside mousemoving to delete it. if you set it in one evh call it wont know it on the next.
is why i say global variable would be easier

waxen tide Sep 3, 2017, 11:55 PM

#

this is a script i intend to run shortly on the client only, to give the player an option to pick one of a few pre-defined map locations and send that to the server. idk how dangerous a global var is in that context.

robust hollow Sep 3, 2017, 11:57 PM

#

i wouldnt think itd be that bad, its just a number.
you set the global var at the start when you first set the draw evh outside of mouse moving. you use that same var inside mosuemoving and again at the end of your script. then set it to nil after it removes the evh if you're worried about it just sitting there.

so is anyone else aware that select command is capable of returning null, even if the index is supposedly out of range?

but only by + 1

if you try + 2 then it will throw index out of range error

Now i got it semi-working, but i can only see one of the 3 icons i draw. it is like i overwrite the others ... can't i draw 3 icons in parallel with 3 different event handlers?

#

https://pastebin.com/cYa5reR9

#

if i remove the 3 if with the ctrlSetEventHandler , it draws all 3 icons just fine

#

my systemchat and hint stuff fires as it should

chaps is there a way to waitUntil on a function? For example I need to make sure the function has completed before continuing? I could try just time it with a sleep but its not ideal.

#

I considered a variable in it, but the function runs on the server and can be run by multiple clients simultaenously

robust hollow Sep 4, 2017, 1:27 AM

waituntil {scriptdone _s};```

daring pawn Sep 4, 2017, 1:27 AM

If i did this for example:

_s = [] spawn {[_objet] remoteExecCall ["ObjectFromDB",2];};

is that going to correctly wait until the function it calls is done or wait until its spawned the function?

robust hollow Sep 4, 2017, 1:29 AM

no, itl wait until the remoteexeccall finishes, not the code it is remote executing.

if that makes sense

ah, no.

#

I wanted to draw the icons once, and then just set them. but i just realise, thats oneachframe in the evh basically?

#

i'm an idiot.

#

doesn't change the function tho.

#

it only draws and sets marker 2

#

it ignores 1 and 3

rancid ruin Sep 4, 2017, 2:16 AM

#

the way i think of it is: event handlers are for calling some code when an event happens, and the event for eachframe EH's happens each frame.

you could use "_cursorPos distance _markerPos" since your marker is round?

distance would differ depending on the map zoom i would think

you can just use distance like you would with any positions

#

ctrlMapScreenToWorld converts the position of your mouse in a map ctrl to a world position

robust hollow Sep 4, 2017, 7:56 AM

Hypothetically: if you remoteexec to a target that is local, does it still send over the network?

Weak. The correct way is to turn your coordinates into a polynomial, obviously.

_map_coor params ["_x", "_y"];

Sure, the problem is that if-then-else only executes the code blocks if the condition is true. With select BOOL, the two array elements are always executed.

@robust hollow if you remoteExec to a target that is local, it does indeed send it over to the network; if you set BE's remoteexec.txt to 5 "" and do [] remoteExec ["stuff", player], you get kicked.

Atleast with BE enabled.

little eagle Sep 4, 2017, 3:56 PM

This is because this stuff is done with the same logic the owner command uses. Everything has to go through the server, because only the server knows which object belongs to which machine.

#

The clients only know what they own, but that shortcut is not taken by remoteExec.

drifting barn Sep 4, 2017, 3:58 PM

#

the shortcut is not taken because the command string still has to be filtered thru the server's CfgRemoteExec

little eagle Sep 4, 2017, 3:58 PM

#

Nah.

#

The remoteExec thing is used to execute stuff on other machines, so this shortcut would be pointless. Clients don't know which machine it is. All messages must go through the server.

drifting barn Sep 4, 2017, 4:03 PM

#

as silly as it sounds, the Debug console's Local Exec button relies on remoteExec, this is what the button does: [[], _inputCode] spawn {_this remoteExec ["call", [player, clientOwner] select isNull player]}, so it's not always used to execute stuff on other machines

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 6:44 AM

#

Specifically I need it to call a function every 10 seconds

#

(I'm a serious noob at this.)

How would I have it initialize the script when you get into the vehicle?

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 6:45 AM

#

look up event handlers

#

specifically getIn

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 6:45 AM

#

Oh god yes

#

That makes things much easier

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 6:45 AM

#

then you can have a while loop that checks if the vic is alive and the player inside and sleeps for 10 seconds

peak plover Sep 5, 2017, 6:46 AM

#

spawn your loop and then add a event handler mpKilled and terminate the loop, that you spawned earlier

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 6:46 AM

#

if you use a while loop, it keeps it simpler

#

id recommend that

#

especially for someone relatively new

peak plover Sep 5, 2017, 6:46 AM

#

But some code inside the loop might rely on the vehicle being alive and error

#

Doing alive check after every line might not always be good

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 6:47 AM

#

hence checking that state in the while condition

peak plover Sep 5, 2017, 6:47 AM

#

depends on what you are doing

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 6:47 AM

#

ah i get what you mean

#

obviously a CBA_directCall inside it 😉

#

in unscheduled itd error silently and kill itself when it errors anyway iirc

peak plover Sep 5, 2017, 6:48 AM

#

It ususally is not an issue when it dies, rather when it's deleted.
Ohh yes, that would work as well.

@sullen willow I hope you are getting all of this 😂

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 6:48 AM

#

yes no more asking questions now!!! 😉

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 6:49 AM

#

I'm not. I mean, I know WHAT I should be doing, but not how to flesh it out. When I said I'm a noob, I meant it. Lol.

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 6:49 AM

#

its cool you can ask shit

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 6:49 AM

#

This is my first real mission and so far it's been a really wild ride lol.

peak plover Sep 5, 2017, 6:49 AM

#

Ok, have you done any coding before or used google ?

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 6:49 AM

#

maybe bing

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 6:49 AM

#

I can google lol. I'm reading up on Event Handlers right now

peak plover Sep 5, 2017, 6:49 AM

#

very good, you will get far

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 6:50 AM

#

yea start with that. just a simple thing that gives a hint when you get inside the vehicle

#

then extend from there

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 6:50 AM

#

That might make things a bit easier

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 6:51 AM

#

its how i code too and ive written thousands of lines by now

#

get something small working asap so you have less chance of going mental 😄

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 6:53 AM

#

I dun fugged up

#

Show me where I went wrong, O Masters

#

this addEventHandler GetIn systemChat "Test.";

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 6:53 AM

#

syntax

#

look at the wiki page for addEventHandler, the right side of it

#

especially example 1

daring pawn Sep 5, 2017, 6:56 AM

#

Quick load order question, would a server initialized missionEventerHandler call before OnPlayerRespawn.sqf or after? How would one find load order of this sort of thing?

#

Basically is the PlayerConnected eventhandler going to load before or after OnPlayerRespawn? The answer should be obvious but i'd like to check if theres some load order heirachy somewhere for similar things?

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 6:57 AM

#

@daring pawn https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Initialization_Order

daring pawn Sep 5, 2017, 6:57 AM

#

Ah I thought that page existed, I couldn't damn find it

#

cheers

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 6:57 AM

#

keep in mind server initialization is very fuzzy

daring pawn Sep 5, 2017, 6:57 AM

#

But it doesn't mention a mission eventhandler . Object event handlers are mentioned however

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 6:57 AM

#

This is what I came out with on 2nd attempt, said something about expecting a string

#

this addEventHandler [GetIn, systemChat "Test."];

daring pawn Sep 5, 2017, 6:57 AM

#

Yea this is assuming the mission/server is already going

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 6:58 AM

#

@sullen willow still not the right syntax

#

the brackets are all wrong

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 6:58 AM

#

Dangit

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 6:58 AM

#

["getIn", {systemChat "test"}];

#

observe the differences and the wiki

#

it should be obvious

#

{ ... } contain code

#

"..." is a string, or text

#

all 'words' not inside "" are commands or variables

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 7:00 AM

#

🤦🏼 I don't know how I didn't see that

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 7:00 AM

#

so the array [ ... ] first contains a string with the type of event handler and then a bit of code to execute

#

@daring pawn You'll have to test it or hope someone with some more experience chimes in. I'd personally guess the order isn't guaranteed.

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 7:01 AM

#

Gonna play around with this a little, will report back if I hit a brick wall.

daring pawn Sep 5, 2017, 7:07 AM

#

@indigo snow yea no worries, cheers mate

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 7:07 AM

#

It's tricky because they both fire so early

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 7:08 AM

#

All right. So. Say I want the event handler to call a script.

["getIn", {ExecVM "xyz.sqf"}]; ?

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 7:08 AM

#

that's the syntax for execVM, yes

#

you probably want to pass over the vehicle the player is getting into, however

#

so _this execVM "myScript.sqf"

#

and then there will be a bunch of handy values in _this

#

which is a magic variable passed along

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 7:12 AM

#

Fuck me this gets deep

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 7:17 AM

#

stacking bricks

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 7:18 AM

#

yep

#

rofl

#

what would be the syntax for the vehicle being alive

#

not alive LandVehicle, right?

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 7:19 AM

#

yes but i prefer ! instead of not

#

has the systemChat been working, btw?

peak plover Sep 5, 2017, 7:21 AM

#

for '_i' from 0 to 1000000 do {
not(true)
};
//517.5 ms
for '_i' from 0 to 1000000 do {

//480.333 ms

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 7:21 AM

#


sleep 5; hint "You gain 500 USD";
[500,0] call HG_fnc_addOrSubCash;```

#

I don't need the systemchat, but yes, it did work.

#

What I have there so far doesn't seem to be working

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 7:22 AM

#

is landVehicle the name of the car?

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 7:22 AM

#

Oh

#

shit

#

no

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 7:22 AM

#

youre also missing a bracket in there

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 7:22 AM

#

Does it need a unique name?

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 7:22 AM

#

the vehicle will be in _this

#

from the event handler

#

_this contains: the vehicle, the position, the unit getting in, and the turret theyre getting in

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 7:26 AM

#


sleep 5; hint "You gain 500 USD";
[500,0] call HG_fnc_addOrSubCash;```

#

?

#

I feel like I'm an inch away from getting it

#

getting an error about an undefined variable in line 1

peak plover Sep 5, 2017, 7:29 AM

#

_this is undefined

simple solstice Sep 5, 2017, 7:30 AM

#

you need to pass the vehicle to the script

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 7:32 AM

#

I know how to do that

#

pokerface.jpg

#

I

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 7:39 AM

#

show us what you event handler code looks like atm?

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 7:39 AM

#

replaced _this with the variable name

#

and it's working.

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 7:39 AM

#

yea but ideally this would work for any arbitrary vehicle right?

peak plover Sep 5, 2017, 7:40 AM

#

I think Harmont goofed

#

Prove me wrong!

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 7:40 AM

#


sleep 5; 
systemChat "You gain 500 USD";
[500,0] call HG_fnc_addOrSubCash;

},

#

It's working just fine.

peak plover Sep 5, 2017, 7:40 AM

#

Put the sleep to the end

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 7:40 AM

#

Ok

peak plover Sep 5, 2017, 7:40 AM

#

actually nvm

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 7:40 AM

#

Also

peak plover Sep 5, 2017, 7:40 AM

#

it does not matter in that case

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 7:40 AM

#

add this before the while-line:
params ["_vehicle"];, then you can use _vehicle for the vehicle name

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 7:40 AM

#

Now I need it to stop the script when the vehicle dies.

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 7:41 AM

#

your while already does that

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 7:41 AM

#

Oh, gotcha.

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 7:41 AM

#

when its dead it stops

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 7:41 AM

#

Oh, duh. While alive.

#

I'll take my dipshit trophy now, thanks.

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 7:41 AM

#

you can waitUntil it's !alive, too 😛

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 7:42 AM

#

I learned a shitload today

peak plover Sep 5, 2017, 7:42 AM

#

myLoop = [] spawn {
    while {alive car1} do {

    sleep 5; 
    systemChat "You gain 500 USD";
    [500,0] call HG_fnc_addOrSubCash;

    },
},

then you do

terminate myLoop;

#

For educational purposes

#

But yea, it stops if car is dead so, this is not needed

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 7:43 AM

#

This is pretty damn sexy.

peak plover Sep 5, 2017, 7:44 AM

#

You should probably do

while {!isNil "car1" && {!isNull car1} && {alive car1}} do {

Because if someone deletes the car, your script will throw an error

#

Or somethingdeletes it

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 7:44 AM

#

isNull isnt needed

#

check alive objNull 😉

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 7:44 AM

#

They shouldn't be able to delete it

#

Unless destroying counts as deleting

peak plover Sep 5, 2017, 7:45 AM

#

Ohh nice @indigo snow

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 7:47 AM

#

i still propose you dont hardcode the car name for further learning but thats up to you

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 7:57 AM

#

Oh, shit.

#

Yeah I didn't think of this.

#

I need the script to stop when I get out.

grand berry Sep 5, 2017, 8:58 AM

#

Is the difference between remoteExec and remoteExecCall the fact the one is in the unscheduled environment and the other in scheduled.?

warm gorge Sep 5, 2017, 9:01 AM

#

Technically yes, however remoteExecCall wont always neccesarily be executed straight away. Read about remote execuation @ https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Remote_Execution

grand berry Sep 5, 2017, 9:05 AM

#

Cheers 😃

astral tendon Sep 5, 2017, 9:19 AM

#

is there a trigger to detect if a player join in a vehicle as a gunner?

robust hollow Sep 5, 2017, 9:22 AM

#

a litteral trigger or would an evh do? you can use the getinman evh to see what seat someone got into (im pretty sure)

little eagle Sep 5, 2017, 9:24 AM

#

remoteExecCall and remoteExec are the same for commands, but different for functions.

astral tendon Sep 5, 2017, 9:25 AM

#

yes a trigger, i need the vehicles to start move when all 4 of they have gunners

little eagle Sep 5, 2017, 9:25 AM

#

@astral tendon

// initPlayerLocal.sqf
params ["_unit"];

_unit addEventHandler ["GetInMan", {
    systemChat str _this;
}];

#

hmm

#

Roque, what vehicle? They usually only have 1 gunner each.

robust hollow Sep 5, 2017, 9:27 AM

#

yea hes saying he has 4 vehicles and each needs a gunner before they move out

little eagle Sep 5, 2017, 9:27 AM

#

Oh

#

Any unit or specific ones?

#

trigger condition field:

{isNull gunner _x} count [tank1, tank2, tank3, tank4] == 0

astral tendon Sep 5, 2017, 9:31 AM

#

another thng, this is a coop setup, that means i may not have all 4 players in the server, so i still can make this trigger work even with less players?

little eagle Sep 5, 2017, 9:40 AM

#

With a bit of algebra and logic...

robust hollow Sep 5, 2017, 9:41 AM

#

if its a max of 4 players couldnt you do something to the effect of

{isNull gunner _x} count [tank1, tank2, tank3, tank4] == (4-count playableunits)```

#

oh i dont think thats right

little eagle Sep 5, 2017, 9:43 AM

#

This is confusing to put in one line xP

#

{isNull gunner _x} count [tank1, tank2, tank3, tank4] <= (4 - count playableUnits) max 0

#

???

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 9:53 AM

#

{!isNull gunner _x} count [tank1,2,3,4] = (count ([switchableUnits, playableUnits] select isMultiplayer)) min 4?

#

Its toss up i guess

grand berry Sep 5, 2017, 9:56 AM

#

If this was a script that is run by an addAction, would this just run on the person who used the action?

_display = [params... ] remoteExec ["BIS_fnc_StrategicMapOpen", clientOwner, false];

robust hollow Sep 5, 2017, 9:58 AM

#

yea that would be run only by the person using the action, although remoteexecuting that wouldnt return a display, and you're sending it to yourself so is there any sense in remoteexecuting it at all?

little eagle Sep 5, 2017, 9:59 AM

#

@grand berry Yes*. But then the whole remoteExec setup would be pointless.

#

not in a resumed local hosted MP game, because clientOwner is bugged.

grand berry Sep 5, 2017, 10:00 AM

#

It's for a dedi - using the Strat Map as quick travel around the base. Why would the remote exec be pointless?

little eagle Sep 5, 2017, 10:01 AM

#

Because

#

[params... ] call BIS_fnc_StrategicMapOpen

robust hollow Sep 5, 2017, 10:01 AM

#

cause you're executing it on yourself. might as well just call it

little eagle Sep 5, 2017, 10:01 AM

#

Would be the same

#

Also, remoteExec does not return a display. It returns nothing, so _display will be undefined.

robust hollow Sep 5, 2017, 10:02 AM

#

it returns a string actually, still not a display tho.

#

nil if it errors

little eagle Sep 5, 2017, 10:03 AM

#

Only the JIP version reports a string no? This is the not-JIP version (false as arg2)

grand berry Sep 5, 2017, 10:03 AM

#

Yea ok thanks, that all makes sense.

robust hollow Sep 5, 2017, 10:03 AM

#

no jip is empty string

little eagle Sep 5, 2017, 10:03 AM

#

ok

grand berry Sep 5, 2017, 10:04 AM

#

Related question - if a script is run on a client that spawns new AI units does that client then take the overhead for the AI?

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 10:04 AM

#

Yes

#

Thats how a HC works

grand berry Sep 5, 2017, 10:05 AM

#

So in that case using remoteExec to spawn the AI on the sever would be the correct thing to do.

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 10:06 AM

#

Yes unless you immediately set the owner to be the server but thats buggy iirc

#

grpOfAI setOwner 2 or something

#

Breaks the danger.fsm or something

grand berry Sep 5, 2017, 10:07 AM

#

To avoid that can I not just run the code that initially spawns them on the server or is that what breaks it? As opposed to setting owner after spawn.

robust hollow Sep 5, 2017, 10:08 AM

#

yea spawning them from the server would avoid that problem.

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 10:08 AM

#

Spawning on server would be ideal yes

#

You could even check for connected HCs

grand berry Sep 5, 2017, 10:09 AM

#

[] remoteExec ["spawn here", 2]; So that would work and not break the FSM?

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 10:10 AM

#

Since locality never gets transferred, sure

grand berry Sep 5, 2017, 10:10 AM

#

Awesome, thanks for the help guys.

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 11:02 AM

@indigo snow How do I get my earlier script to terminate if I exit the vehicle?

rotund cypress Sep 5, 2017, 11:02 AM

#

terminate scriptHandle @sullen willow

#

scriptHandle = "" spawn {};

little eagle Sep 5, 2017, 11:04 AM

#

SimZor, bad advice.

nil spawn {...};

does nothing. If a command receives nil / undefined as input, it is ignored.

rotund cypress Sep 5, 2017, 11:05 AM

#

Hmm alright

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 11:05 AM

#

this addEventHandler ["GetOut",{terminatescript "CPM.sqf"}];```

rotund cypress Sep 5, 2017, 11:05 AM

#

(edited)

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 11:05 AM

#

Does that look about right?

rotund cypress Sep 5, 2017, 11:06 AM

#

No

little eagle Sep 5, 2017, 11:06 AM

#

Should be:

0 spawn {...};

or

[] spawn {...};

Because the argument is mandatory for spawn (but not execVM).

rotund cypress Sep 5, 2017, 11:06 AM

#

Well it could be a string as well then

#

Didn't realise nil wouldn't work however

little eagle Sep 5, 2017, 11:06 AM

#

You have to terminate the script handle (SCRIPT type) and not a filepath.

rotund cypress Sep 5, 2017, 11:07 AM

#

Don't understand why people keep using execVM

#

@sullen willow ```sqf
myHandle = execVM "scriptPath.sqf";
terminate myHandle;

little eagle Sep 5, 2017, 11:08 AM

#

Yeah, and terminate is the command name, not "terminateScript".

rotund cypress Sep 5, 2017, 11:08 AM

#

However, I do recommend you to make a function variable

#

And then spawn that (if you want to run scheduled)

#

Keep in mind, that execVM always creates a new thread @sullen willow

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 11:09 AM

#

Doesn't terminate it when I exit the vehicle.

rotund cypress Sep 5, 2017, 11:10 AM

That should work

#

@sullen willow

little eagle Sep 5, 2017, 11:11 AM

#

The script fires when you get in

#

I need it to terminate when you get out

robust hollow Sep 5, 2017, 11:27 AM

yea, try that while condition then. it would probs still pay you once more cause your sleep is at the start of the loop, but that would end the loop once you get out

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 11:29 AM

#

#

hmm

#

ill do it again lol

Check picture

#

Else theres vectorDistance but that seems fairly identical

little eagle Sep 5, 2017, 1:41 PM

#

Distance uses the AGL format, so it's weird depending on what you do.

#

Z=0 has a different position depending on the height of the map at X,Y.

i'm trying to use drawIcon to put an icon on an object on a map and change said icon based on properties selected in said dialog. I have this working with drawIcon3D as it works within an onEachFrame EH but drawIcon doesn't play nice in that EH, it apparently needs to be in a "Draw" control event handler.

Issue here is I can't pass an argument (the properties that dictate icon style) in ctrlAddEventHandler as you can with other event handlers , am I wrong? Is there another way?

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 2:59 PM

#

ctrlAddEventHandler ["Draw",{call myFnc}] and then in your myFnc use the drawIcon command.

sand pivot Sep 5, 2017, 3:01 PM

#

and then i can pass arguments to the function. nice, thanks that should do it.

#

i'm working on coding this now to give it a try still, but as i think of it, I'm affraid the passed variable may be out of scope of the EH and not pass properly to the function.

little eagle Sep 5, 2017, 3:07 PM

#

_control setVariable ["commy_args", _args];
_control ctrlAddEventHandler ["Draw", {
    params ["_control"];
    (_control getVariable "commy_args") params ["_arg1", "_arg2"];
}];

Does this help?

sand pivot Sep 5, 2017, 3:08 PM

#

yes

#

should have thought of that, i can just set a variable on the map control that i already am manipulating. thanks dude

little eagle Sep 5, 2017, 3:10 PM

#

Alternatively:

[_control, "draw", {
    systemChat str _thisArgs;
}, _args] call CBA_fnc_addBISEventHandler;

#

Which does essentially the same.

tiny elm Sep 5, 2017, 3:20 PM

#

oooooo ^^^^ I'm saving that... interesting

queen cargo Sep 5, 2017, 3:29 PM

#

@indigo snow no need to call the fnc in the code
ctrlAddEventHandler ["Draw", myFnc] is enough

indigo snow Sep 5, 2017, 3:37 PM

#

Something something then the entire function ends up in there and that takes up more space

#

Because the function ends up in there as a string in the engine

#

are spawned scripts added to any lists?

#

I guess I need to do that manuelly 😭

#

I want to see if all my scripts that are looping have any performance impact 😄

simple solstice Sep 5, 2017, 4:08 PM

#

I was wondering how do I solve the issue of locality and setHitPointDamage. The vehicle has to be local to the client issuing the command, so that means no other player can repair the vehicle. Is there any way that a non-local player to the vehicle could issue this command with effects?

tough abyss Sep 5, 2017, 4:29 PM

#

Use remoteexec and use the vehicle has the target

little eagle Sep 5, 2017, 4:47 PM

#

It's better to use

ctrlAddEventHandler ["Draw", {call myFnc}]

over

ctrlAddEventHandler ["Draw", myFnc]

Especially for Draw and EachFrame handlers, because the game stores the functions as strings and has to recompile them for every execution.
myFnc could be very long while {call myFnc} is probably as short as you can get.

Well, my mission is like 90% done. That script is still kicking my ass in multiple different fashions, though.

little eagle Sep 5, 2017, 5:09 PM

#

// init.sqf
0 spawn {
    while {true} do {
        sleep 5;
        if (player in car1) then {
            systemChat "You gain 500 USD";
            [500,0] call HG_fnc_addOrSubCash;
        };
    };
};

???

#

forgot the loop part.

#

Why not like this?

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 5:11 PM

#

There was another problem as well

little eagle Sep 5, 2017, 5:12 PM

#

And what?

#

I fail to see the issue here. This is very straight forward.

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 5:19 PM

#

The other problem is that the script is firing for everyone on the server rather than just the person entering the vehicle.

waxen tide Sep 5, 2017, 5:21 PM

#

I'm writing a script that lets each player vote, so i need to send the vote result to the server. instead of sending lots of public vars, can't i just attach the vote to the player as a var and then fetch it from the server?

little eagle Sep 5, 2017, 5:23 PM

#

Do it like I said and it will work. GetIn doesn't seem to be the right approach for this imo

#

I have an idea that may make this very easy, asdfghj

#

Do you use any mods?

quasi rover Sep 5, 2017, 5:27 PM

#

Is there a way to detect who destroyed building when the addMissionEventHandler :"buildingChanged" is used ?

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 5:28 PM

#

@little eagle what you posted up there, does go in the vehicle's init?

little eagle Sep 5, 2017, 5:28 PM

#

init.sqf

#

It's a file in the mission.

#

If it doesn't exist, just make it.

queen cargo Sep 5, 2017, 5:29 PM

#

could one quickly check what happens when one does this: "foo" == []

little eagle Sep 5, 2017, 5:29 PM

#

error

polar folio Sep 5, 2017, 5:30 PM

#

yea prob type bla expected bla type of error

little eagle Sep 5, 2017, 5:30 PM

#

^

queen cargo Sep 5, 2017, 5:30 PM

#

probably is not knowing

little eagle Sep 5, 2017, 5:30 PM

#

And a long list of stuff that == accepts. Everything besides BOOL and ARRAY and some weird ones

polar folio Sep 5, 2017, 5:31 PM

#

i never use this so i dont know exactly. maybe just go look it up yourself later?

#

never use because it doesn't work

little eagle Sep 5, 2017, 5:31 PM

#

It reports nothing and writes an error to the RPT file.

queen cargo Sep 5, 2017, 5:31 PM

#

because it doesn't work that is the reason i need to know :3

little eagle Sep 5, 2017, 5:32 PM

#

isNil {"" == []}

#

-> true

polar folio Sep 5, 2017, 5:32 PM

#

you got your answer. i jsut added "prob" so you nerds dfont shit all over me if i'm wrong 😉

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 5:32 PM

#

@little eagle I have 6 cars to do this for. Would I just repeat that for each of them with their respective name?

queen cargo Sep 5, 2017, 5:32 PM

#

stupidity in arma ... check types first, then handle each type separate

little eagle Sep 5, 2017, 5:32 PM

#

19:32:08 Error in expression <isNil {"" == []}>
19:32:08   Error position: <== []}>
19:32:08   Error ==: Type Array, expected Number,String,Not a Number,Object,Side,Group,Text,Config entry,Display (dialog),Control,Network Object,Team member,Task,Location

simple solstice Sep 5, 2017, 5:32 PM

@tough abyss remoteexec on every client (-2)?

tough abyss Sep 5, 2017, 5:33 PM

#

Nope you pass the vehicle object as the target. it will get remove executed were its local

little eagle Sep 5, 2017, 5:33 PM

#

if (vehicle player in [car1, car2, etc]) then {

sullen willow Sep 5, 2017, 5:33 PM

#

Gotcha

polar folio Sep 5, 2017, 5:33 PM

#

what is "not a number"? nil but expected number?

little eagle Sep 5, 2017, 5:34 PM

#

Nan is a type for infinte etc.

simple solstice Sep 5, 2017, 5:34 PM

#

@tough abyss oh wow, thanks!

little eagle Sep 5, 2017, 5:34 PM

#

undefined

#

Like

log -1

#

Arma is too weak for complex numbers.

#

lol, Arma

sqrt -1 == 0
