commy2, you feel like telling me your easy way for the server-client vote thingy?
little eagle
if (isServer) then {
missionNamespace setVariable ["asdfg_voteNamespace", createSimpleObject ["Building", [0,0,0]], true];
};
// client
asdfg_voteNamespace setVariable [str clientOwner, "yes", true];
To count the "yes" or whatever:
{asdfg_voteNamespace getVariable _x isEqualTo "yes"} count allVariables asdfg_voteNamespace
Could've used the CBA function instead of createSimpleObject.
I always have to look up how you do this in vanilla.
This way you can easily overwrite your previous vote as client.
And the counting is quick.
So this made sense to me.
waxen tide
I'm not entirely sure i understand this correctly. so on the server you create a new namespace? on a dummy object?
waxen tide
oh, i see. objects are automatically synced over network, so every client can glue a var to it?
waxen tide
now it makes sense to me. thanks!

I guess it's a bit unusual, but done in very few lines of code.

atomic epoch
Is there a reason for choosing missionNamespace setVariable?
peak plover
as opposed to?
atomic epoch
Are there benifits to using
missionNamespace setVariable ["asdfg_voteNamespace", createSimpleObject ["Building", [0,0,0]]
Instead of
asdfg_voteNamespace = createSimpleObject ["Building", [0,0,0]]
?
still forum
That was not what was posted.
missionNamespace setVariable ["asdfg_voteNamespace", createSimpleObject ["Building", [0,0,0], true]
missionNamespace setVariable [_myVarNameThatIsUnknownOrDynamic,true,true];
and this has publicVariable built directly into the command
also it let's you specify that you want to set a variable in missionNamespace
you can never be 100% sure that you are in missionNamespace in scheduled scripts
little eagle
The syntax without the public flag is pretty pointless. Would just use a normal assignment. And switching to uiNamespace should very rarely happen.
waxen tide
am i correct assuming that calling a script with compileFinal preprocessFileLineNumbers and calling a function is just about the same thing?
little eagle
Calling a (precompiled) function is superior, because the machine has to do less stuff during the mission.
waxen tide
well in the BIKI article for vars it says if you use global vars in MP, use compileFinal preprocessFileLineNumbers to prevent people from messing with them. And i kind of? get why, but why not just turn it into a function right away?
little eagle
Reading a file is pretty expensive and a bit less so, but still not needed is compiling a string to executable code.
In my opinion.
compileFinal is pointless outside of caching functions in ui namespace.
waxen tide
anything i define as a function is compiled at mission start anyways, isn't it?
little eagle
If someone can execute arbitrary code to change functions, you already lost.
waxen tide
caching functions in ui namespace? why would one need that?
little eagle
So that starting a mission with ACE doesn't take my machine 30 seconds to recompile all the functions.
It's what the CfgFunctions framework does.
For missions: compile and preprocess all functions at preInit
For addons: do it as game start in ui namespace and copy them over to mission namespace at preInit
Or just use CfgFunctions which does this all for you.
But it's handy to know what CfgFunctions actually does.
I guess.
waxen tide
CfgFunctions is part of ? arma? ace?
little eagle
Vanilla.
waxen tide

little eagle

indigo snow
🍪 😛
waxen tide
well obviously one doesn't want to recompile every time. its not like i'm a gentoo user.
waxen tide
If i have a bunch of functions i want to execute on mission start and i need them to be ran in a particular order, whats the best way to do that? i used to just chain my scripts together, so when script1 was done it would call script2, etc but that gets a little bit messy after a while.
doing it in a central place would be neat, but i'm somehow stuck with the thought that will actually cost performance
little eagle
call asdfg_fnc_function1;
call asdfg_fnc_function2;
function2 will only run after function1 is completed.
waxen tide
oh. right. it being call and all. thanks commy2. I've slightly confused myself today with too much work.
little eagle
A central place would be a postInit function. The vanilla one is scheduled and the loading screen only finishes after postInit is done, but that's nothing that isNil can't fix.
waxen tide
i don't follow
little eagle
The link I posted about the function library. You can set functions to be automatically executed "preInit" (before any objects are created) or "postInit" (after all* objects are created).
waxen tide
to ensure editor placed objects already exist?
little eagle
So make one function as your "postInit" hub and set up your mission there.
They will already exist when a postInit function is called.
waxen tide
it seems to me most people just call their mission scripts at the bottom of the init event scripts? is that about equal, exactly equal, or is there something big i'm missing why it isn't?
little eagle
With the postInit one you can use player, the loading screen only ends when it's done running and the timing is the same in SP.
waxen tide
I'm sorry if i'm annoying, i'm a bit of a slowpoke today. Why wouldn't one be able to use player otherwise? And by timing you are saying that the postinit state is set for all connected players and the server at the same time?
indigo snow
Some initialization scripts run before the player command returns an object. Thats why you sometimes see waituntil {!isNull player} in scripts
waxen tide
Now with what you guys told me i'm confused a bit. What is the purpose of the init scripts? If i leave them blank, does nothing happen in the init phase? or does arma internal stuff happen that leads to player returning an object post init but (eventually) not during init?
is there things one needs to do in the init phase because it is impossible post-init?
rancid ruin
that's a strange question man
it all depends on what you're trying to accomplish really doesn't it
robust hollow
i cant say i understand the question fully, but to clear a part of it up.
You don't NEED any of the init scripts (init, initServer, initPlayerLocal, initPlayerServer), the mission will still start as expected, however if you need scripts to run when the mission starts and you don't want to add a pre or post init fnc to the cfgfunctions, those files are where you'd do it.
waxen tide
well it is not like i have any problems. i put my mission scripts at the end of the init scripts, and everything worked fine so far. but from what commy2 wrote i figured it is bad practice to rely on the timing being right when doing that.
thanks you two!

>a/b where b = 0, returns 0, always

I would assume variables saved in the profileNamespace are loaded on start from the profile and stay in memory the entire runtime?
rancid ruin
i think profilenamespace stays around forever
all the vars are written in to a file called yourarmaprofilename.vars or something - should be next to your profile file i think
it's what people use to make a ghetto "database" system without using addons @waxen tide
UInamespace is the one which stays around until your game is shut down
waxen tide
@rancid ruin i do quite extensive checks on the map to get data i use later to spawn stuff. i cache the data in the servers profile so i don't have to re-do it everytime (i included a check for the arma version and re-do checks on version change)
But i was wondering if that profile is loaded into RAM on start?
waxen tide
well the reason i cache the data is to not rape the performance all the time by going thru the whole map to fetch data to spawn stuff. if profile reads from the file all the time, that would be expensive. so i would rather create a global var from profile to have it in memory.
but i guess it is keept in memory anyways
rancid ruin
yeah don't worry about read/write, it's certain to just be kept in memory and written to disk at shutdown
at least....that's how it should work if arma 3 was made in a half-way competent fashion
noble pond
if your going to be saving stuff to it, you need to do saveProfileNamespace to make your changes permenant
otherwise you will have data loss once the mission is over/restarted
so in the most simple way, you could just do saveProfileNamespace after any setVariable you do that has to do with it
in the end the read writes are so tiny its meaningless to add one more onto the list
i was able to store thousands of variables inside it and writing/saving a couple hundred every few minutes and there was no measurable performance drop
waxen tide
yeah i've already implemented it like you wrote. I guess compared what you're doing i'm using that feature very lightly.
blazing zodiac
Does anyone know how to remove the open/close door icons from the default doors? I am able to include a mod so config tweaks are usable.

good question. not sure of the best way to do this, but what i'd probably do is de-pbo all the vanilla arma 3 UI pbos, find the .paa with the door open/close icon, and then work backwards from there. search main cfg file for the .paa's filename, then write a cfgPatch which hides it in some way, or just replaces the texture with a blank one @blazing zodiac

saveProfileNamespace does nothing. If you change a variable in the profile, it stays through the whole session so also mission restarts etc.
And the profile is saved when the game is closed. saveProfileNamespace does nothing. Try it.

hi guys can anyone help me out here with deactivating sounds from a trigger once out of the triggered area? currently it just keeps playing till the end
sfx works with trigger, but error keeps popping up saying no sound file but still plays
sullen willow
Could someone tell me why this isn't working?
_CurrentWeapon = primaryWeapon player;
if !(isNil "_CurrentWeapon") then {
_CurrentWeapon = primaryWeapon player;
_magazines = getArray (configFile / "CfgWeapons" / _CurrentWeapon / "magazines");
player addMagazine (_magazines select 0);
};
};
Supposed to add a mag for your current weapon
Well, your primary.
little eagle
You don't have space in your uniform / vest / backpack.
_CurrentWeapon = primaryWeapon player;
if !(isNil "_CurrentWeapon") then {
_CurrentWeapon = primaryWeapon player;
???
sullen willow
This isn't my script so I'm just as ??? as you are.
little eagle
_CurrentWeapon will never be nil
"" maybe, but not nil
So yeah, addMagazine adds it to your uniform/vest/backpack and if you have no space, it just fails silently.
sullen willow
So then I need to remove the isNil bit?
I had plenty of space in my containers
There's no way that's what was wrong
little eagle
You can, because it's a tautology. It wouldn't change a thing, but simplify.
sullen willow
Then it must not be working for another reason
little eagle
So your uniform etc. isn't full?
little eagle
Then this script isn't executed or there is an error before this code block which prevents this from being executed.
robust hollow
does ur player have a primary weapon?
robust hollow
well i think i know the problem then 👍
robust hollow
the script itself works fine. if the unit has a primary weapon in the primary weapon slot then surely its just a space issue
little eagle
Yeah, this part is "fine". Search the error somewhere else.
robust hollow
^ 👍
sullen willow
It's definitely not a space issue
little eagle
Also, if your avatar is naked, no uniform/vest/backpack etc. then you never have enough space.
It never goes into the weapon directly.
little eagle
What's the weapon?
sullen willow
ACR Remington
little eagle
Try with MX
little eagle
Then this code block is not being executed.
Btw. it's just a function assignment by itself. You'd need to call that function in the local variable.
sullen willow
That makes a bit more sense
little eagle
I put this into the debug console and it gave me a mag. Note the last line I added.
_FNC_1Mag = {
_CurrentWeapon = primaryWeapon player;
if !(isNil "_CurrentWeapon") then {
_CurrentWeapon = primaryWeapon player;
_magazines = getArray (configFile / "CfgWeapons" / _CurrentWeapon / "magazines");
player addMagazine (_magazines select 0);
};
};
call _FNC_1Mag
I see that, yes.
Thank you. Every bit of this is something else learned.

Lads, with ACE3, its fairly clear how to set new damage with a function they've created. I'm struggling however to get that damage in a similar fashion to the bohemia getDamage function. Is there a way to find out what ACE injuries they have?
still forum
getHitPointDamage
But that's only vanilla damage like broken legs.
ACE Injuries are stored in ACE internal variables.
see the fullHeal function for names of all of them
daring pawn
_hitPoint = ["HitHead","HitBody","HitRightArm","HitLeftArm","HitRightLeg","HitLeftLeg"];
_aceHead = (_object getHitPointDamage (_hitPoint select 0));
_aceBody = (_object getHitPointDamage (_hitPoint select 1));
I have that currently.
do you mean this one https://github.com/acemod/ACE3/blob/master/addons/medical/functions/fnc_treatmentAdvanced_fullHeal.sqf

I don't think the medical system has "damage". It has wounds and bloodloss etc.

I'm seriously blind wow

systemchat format ["%1",_var];
[[1,21,1,1,0.01],[2,3,3,2,0.01],[1,8,1,1,0]]
So it returns that on the unit who volunteered to take frag grenade. Where am I able to find what each part of that array is equal to? It appears to be the different injury types and how many of them there are
In fact doesn't matter for what I want as to what they are, just need to be able to store them to set them again
Beauty
little eagle
Tinkering with the internals. Sounds like a recipe for disaster. Good luck though.
daring pawn
I'm persisting their medical status in a session so disconnecting and reconnecting doesn't allow being cheeky to reset medical stats or if a game crash happens and they get back in they keep their stats.
I know its not ideal to do it with internals, especially when medical rewrite goes public but shouldn't be much strain to update it.
little eagle
People have been requesting a function to serialize the medic system stuff for ages. If it were as simple as copying over some variables, it would've been done a long time ago.

yes. 1.0 beta

If open override

yes. Then it returns to default behaviour

That "should" work in 0.9.x

why are you using remoteExecCall instead of remoteExec?

because i'm making the assumption its something i'd normally just use call on. But i need it run on server

it pushes the code onto the scheduled script array. If it is a script function

it might execute every frame. It might execute every 10 minutes

@simple solstice I think there is an eventhandler for that. Use it and just kill the guy pressing the button

remoteExecCall is a horrible name. It implies stuff about it that isn't true and it implies stuff about regular call that isn't true either.

@daring pawn The functions themselves could be delayed a lot.. Just like anything else in scheduled

Well yea i've been using it (not reading the vague wiki difference in them) for anything I'm putting server end.

you'll probably be fine if it's your mission

cheers though. I'da spent ages wondering why I couldn't have my suspension in the call... never thought of the difference

You could've just read the error message and plugged it into google
daring pawn
I did, got lots of things not related to remoteExecCall though
I wouldn't have made the connection between remoteExecCall being the unscheduled

peak plover
I want to define weapons and crap in one file. Then use functions to move those things to everything
setUnitLoadout hella weird..
subtle ore
How so?
peak plover
So much data
I guess I can make functions that will edit arrays and use a couple to set the loadout for players....
But I feel like it would be easier to just do addItem etc.
subtle ore
It's not like it is an insane amount of data. It is the same amount of data except faster if you were to do it manually
peak plover
loadout also means that if a vest does not in reality fit items, they will still be added. But if I use a function I can check per item, if it fits or not
I feel like getting the ammo/weapons for cargo etc. it would be faster for me to do everythign from scratch....
That's what i'm trying to figure out
if one of these has a big advantage or not
Which one is the ~best~
subtle ore
Really depends on the usage then
peak plover
Could you elaborate usage
subtle ore
Depends on what you are using it for
peak plover
I want to result with 1 file (per side) that I edit to change unit loadouts, vehicle cargo, etc.
subtle ore
Wether or not you want more or less control over what goes in and what does not
Then you will likely want to add/remove anything manually based on side
peak plover
From what I've done before, Sometimes certain roles will have certain quirks, random weapons sometimes, random uniforms sometimes
I've goit that one figured out
But general system is under question
🤔
subtle ore
Afaik each unit has a specified loadout initially per role. Defined via config
peak plover
I'd use unit classnames or variable that you can set for unit to decide which loadout he gets
indigo snow
is this for missionmakers? 3den attributes yo
indigo snow
then 3den attributes
peak plover
What does that mean?
indigo snow
make your mod add a 3den attribute where you can select a loadout?
waxen tide
I'm trying to center the map and zoom it so that the entire map is visible on opening. Anyone having a good idea how to do that?
indigo snow
as opposed to having to link either a classname somewhere or set a variable
little eagle
peak plover
It's basically this : Set player as Squad leader (B_soldier_SL_F), he will get SL loadout unless he has a _unit setVariable ["unit_loadout_override","Grenadier"];
little eagle
player setUnitLoadout "B_soldier_SL_F";
Yes, but loadout for SL is defined in a single file
So If I want to edit the uniform and rifle I change
_uniform = "new_unfirom";
_rifle = ["rifle","clip"];
Also do
_rifle = {
selectRandom [["rifle","clip"],["rifle2","assaultClip"]
};
why add {}
peak plover
and
_SLBeforeLoadout = {};
_SLAfterLoadout = {};
It's code
It's exectuded every time yo uget a loadout, eevery time new weapon
indigo snow
its a local var anyway, itll get recreated every time
peak plover
🤔
peak plover
There's a chance there will be more complex code there, maybe?
indigo snow
why would you want that in there
if you want to execute code add a _code = {} variable or something
peak plover
just, in, case?
Yeah, but only code for _rifle... ?
I could have a different helmet per random weapon you recieve, so it needs to run that
indigo snow
i mean if you see a usecase sure
peak plover
I am very good at making up stupid issues, and features
indigo snow
you run into the case of there being better alternative ways i think
_helmets select (_weaponsOptions find _weapon max 0)
etc
peak plover
You should see my ai concept/notes 😄
indigo snow
its still all a scriptfile you execute that you have control over
why add extra code in a context where you can already execute code and now suffer a call overhead?
peak plover
I want there to be 1 file, that I have to change per mission
So all the functions do magic
call overhead is this real?
Searching 249 files for "call"
call { commands } will be slower than commands
youre already in a file where youre executing code 😛
peak plover
729 matches across 149 files
😦
ohh boy
I've used call very freely and usually replace code with functions if they get too confusing or big 😦
indigo snow
I mean thats fine
im just confused why youd want the option to execute code ... in a context where youre already executing code
if it works for you its all fine in the end
peak plover
nah, I'll just load the file and then call a function that will add the weapon for ex.
Then the function will see if it's a string or code, code will be called and then give weapon
Reason I want to use both is becaues sometimes I might want a simple quick only add class name for gun / uniform, next time I might want something more complex
And I want it to work in both cases with only editing 1 file
indigo snow
but you can just add more code under line under or above that in the same file 😛
peak plover
keep it clean ? ughh that's a good point
I think I was thinking of not doing local variables
I can do variables which can be set globally to override default values
this way I can change shit during the mission as well
That's probably too much :S

there is your algorithm
afterwards, just put those hex characters after the 0x together

no
polar folio
there's your problem 😄
i think you will get more answers and better answers if you show that you want to understand the code and not jsut copy paste it
astral tendon
so, how it works?
polar folio
so once you read this you will realise that it's a list of objects as the name says. afaik a vehicle can only have one gunner position that can be accessed by moveinGunner. so there's already a logical problem with your approach
astral tendon
its atually have only one gunner
polar folio
so who exactly needs to be in the gunner position? first guy to enter the trigger?
astral tendon
yes
polar folio
is your trigger set to one time or repeat?
astral tendon
just one time
astral tendon
ok changing idea
how about if to detect a player inside of a vehicle and use the moveInGunner car1;
