you can link the comment.
That number usually indicates which element the returned value is in if you return an array
You neither return array. Nor do you have more than 1 element

This would make them more dense in the center
_position = _position getPos [_radius * sqrt random 1, random 360];
Dedmen, i've just seen that people list their parameters with their position and copied it.
like:
Parameter(s):
0 : ARRAY - Position
1 : SCALAR - Spawnradius
2 : SCALAR - Count
i didn't necessarily think much about it.

yes. because i chained like 5? functions in a row to solve a problem and changed all 5 of them 9000 times.

You guys were looking for that Orange DLC effect when the instructor teleports right? The corrupted memory kinda look? @peak plover @tough abyss
That is in BIS_moveInstructor variable. It calls BIS_fnc_VRSpawnEffect which is what that is I guess

If the string comes from an extension. Then do the preprocessing in the extension before you send it out

@solemn mason
Yes.
call compile 'WARNING("blalba");'

execVM uses the preprocessor

@solemn mason If you enable filePatching. You can make the extension write the script to a file. and then execVM that file. That would work

execVM or preprocessFile(LineNumbers) are required to resolve macros.

Thats still not really it Katekarin. Thats like, okay theres dudes in there, lets wait 5 seconds and check again, its not going to ensure the units are in there for 5 seconds
simple solstice
waitUntil {({side group _x == INDEPENDENT} count (allUnits inAreaArray _mkr) > 1) && ({side group _x == BLUFOR} count (allUnits inAreaArray _mkr) < 1)};
sleep 5;
if (unitPresent) then {...
Why would he leave and return in 5 seconds though?
daring pawn
I want to use 60 seconds
just using 5 seconds as an example
or 5 seconds would occur if the unit was on the edge of the mmarker
little eagle
Omg
daring pawn
slipped in and out
daring pawn
I only want to execute once what happens after the waitUntil is why
simple solstice
hmm, is this something like a progress for capturing a point?
little eagle
private _time = 0;
waitUntil {
if !(unit_in_area) then {
_time = time;

time > _time + 60

Did you forget to put the:

part?
daring pawn
Nah its there
GridState = {
_mkr = param [0];
_gPos = _mkr call getGridPosMarker;
//waitUntil {(([_mkr,375,"count"] call NearestPlayers) < 1)};
private _time = 0;
waitUntil {
if !(({side group _x == INDEPENDENT} count (allUnits inAreaArray _mkr) > 1) && ({side group _x == BLUFOR} count (allUnits inAreaArray _mkr) < 1)) then {
_time = time;
};
time > _time + 60

Deadset, its odd. I tried adding a sleep incase it was just freaking out like if you have a while {true} {}; and something intensive, it still crashes.
little eagle
0 spawn {
_mkr = "marker_0";
private _time = 0;

systemChat str 0.5;
};
systemChat str 0;
time > _time + 60

I tested this and it works for me.
That count allUnit blah thing is ugly
daring pawn
hmm, could it be the fact you've used spawn? To run the function of mine above, i'm using remoteExec
Maybe thats the source of it causing the crash?
Otherwise though, in what I posted there, the full code that i'm using, again theres nothing there that should result in a crash surely?
little eagle
remoteExec-Not-Call should make it be able to use sleep etc unless you used remoteExec ["call"];.
little eagle
Is gridState defined on the server machine with the latest changes?
little eagle
And you figured out that it crashed because it kicked you off I guess.
There is no reason what I posted would crash : /
daring pawn
Yea indeed.
Also having tried in editor, same thing causes my game to crash not server obviously
Its just odd
little eagle
How big's the rest of the code?
daring pawn
Instead of using the spawn you have, can you try it the same as I have mine, and remoteExec it?
The rest?
_mkr setMarkerColor "ColorOPFOR";
missionNamespace setVariable [format["%1hadqrf", _Mkr], nil];
publicVariable format["%1hadqrf", _Mkr];
[_gPos] remoteExecCall ["gridFromDB",2];
[_mkr] remoteExecCall ["initZoneIND",2];
is the rest
when I had the old waitUntil I posted at the very start, no crashes occured. Even commented my stuff out to see if it was related. still crash.
little eagle
commy_CreativeFunctionName = {
_mkr = "marker_0";
private _time = 0;
waitUntil {
if !(({side group _x == INDEPENDENT} count (allUnits inAreaArray _mkr) < 1) && ({side group _x == BLUFOR} count (allUnits inAreaArray _mkr) >= 1)) then {
_time = time;
systemChat str 0.5;

systemChat str 0;

peak plover

daring pawn
ah well, it works
little eagle
hmm, Zeus affects my part?
daring pawn
Having Zeus open when it gets called, causes a crash for me
I am running an extension for zeus, running ares achilles, might be relevant to causing it
little eagle
I retried with zeus and it worked fine. I had two loops of this running, one spawned one remoteExec'd.
daring pawn
Very likely then its the zeus mod i'm running, causing that when the function gets called
I've just called it on the dedi server, no crash and its functioned just fine
So that is indeed very odd
Ah well regardless, it works now, so I do appreciate that commy
little eagle
Now make it pretty.

Anywhere in that .sqf file or in one that was #include'd

The trigger runs in unscheduled environment. You can use suspension commands like sleep in scheduled environment only.
You need to switch to scheduled environment using spawn.

now i have a problem
the AI does not move on the doMove order
the reason why i remove they from the group is that they keep formation and not obey the marker

more like that
@astral tendon check if they are local to the server
astral tendon
how?
simple solstice
as you can see https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/doMove
it has an aL tag, which means the arguments (in this case the unit) needs to be local to the client issuing the command
astral tendon
but how do i know that?
simple solstice
you use the local command.
it returns true if the unit is local to the unit issuing the command
astral tendon
if (!local _unitName) then {
hint "remote";
};
like this?
i put that on the console?
simple solstice
yes
if you want to issue a command from a unit thats not local, use remoteExec and use the object you want to issue it on as the target
waxen tide
you can use createVehicleLocal to spawn a unit locally on your machine only
astral tendon
this is a coop set up
waxen tide
well, each unit is always controlled by one entity.
this might be the server, a player pc, or a headless client
you can't apply commands to a unit if it isn't local to machine you're executing your script on
well you can, but then you need remoteexec
simple solstice
no
if you are serious about arma
and want to do something with scripting
read this
little eagle
AI units created after mission start via scripting will be local to the computer that issued the command

so there is other way around what i am doing?

hit a trigger

how are the cars spawned? and whos the group leader?
simple solstice
disableAI
astral tendon
wait, that wont just turn they off?
simple solstice
you can disable parts of the AI
simple solstice
astral tendon
they still move to a marker over a doStop command?
simple solstice
if you issue it before doMove
astral tendon
like
simple solstice
Order the given unit(s) to move to the given position (without radio messages). After reaching his destination, the unit will immediately return to formation (if in a group); or order his group to form around his new position (if a group leader). Use doStop to stop units returning to formation.
astral tendon
cars doStop;
sleep 1;
cars doMove;
simple solstice
its from doMove
indigo snow
Why not move them into different groups when they have to split up
astral tendon
if i do that they screw up the convoy
simple solstice
im not really familiar with AI in Arma, so the only help I can provide is reading the descriptions and searching for commands ;/
just remember about locality.
if you want to remoteExec e.g. doMove on the cars its something like that
[car2, getMarkerPos "Marker2"] remoteExec ["doMove",car2];
it will run the script on the client thats local to the car2
astral tendon
but i need a doStop to all of they frist right?

easiest way would be to remove it after it's used, then re-add it after a set period of time i guess

ionic orchid

i couldn't be bothered with visual studio or arma studio. if i can't drag a file into the program and look at it, its needlessly complicated to set up. π€
http://i.imgur.com/GFXWULe.png uhrg. who would want two slightly different blue colors to distinct keywords from vars? INSANITY!
autocomplete looks solid tho
ionic orchid
code is different from studio, it doesn't have a 'solution' concept - it mostly just works with a folder structure, so you point it where you want your 'root' to be and all the files are just there

Balls, thats made my job a bit harder xD, I was going to try and detect how many free customchannels there were. and set mine based on how many were free.
if I try and create a channel it will return "0" as the channel index wont it ?
rotund cypress
Just create them on server on mission start. Then create an array with each channel that you create.
Then pull whatever channel you start adding to people out of the array, then insert it when you are done again.
As long as you do not create any channels, 9 will be free IIRC
Just work from that

So I'm trying to get players to do x action y number of times cumulatively, So just as a team, action x needs to be done y times. How do I properly keep track of that globally? is there like a way to sync variables across the server to all clients? Or a way for clients to call an action server side?
ivory vector
I think altis life has somthing..
waxen tide
// commy2 solution for voting (example: carrier deploy)
// abuse object as "namespace"
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
arma will sync vars you attach to the object automatically for you.
works fine! is also apparently performant.
kindred lichen
Thanks,
Last question I think, Is there a way to use Count, but instead of true or false, have it add Values? Like { _x getVariable "points" } Count AllPlayers;
That script creates placeholder objects?
So like, everytime Action x happens you create an object that holds the value, and then just count the number of objects?
waxen tide
yeah dedmen commented on my github about that... also apply .. but i didn't wake up enough to understand it yet. the way i figure count evaluates the code in the {} and if that equals true it counts. you can use _x to get the current element inside the code just like foreach etc.
i'm just the night shift, the competent guys are asleep.

Hello everyone π So, i've got a quick question, or so i think, so i made this mission in which you have to hunt down 3 Narcos, but they're in a party, the moment you get close (BLUFOR "present" activated trigger) they will try to start running to a helo and the pilot will get in first (so he gets the pilot seat) and then he'll fly them off to a point in the map that if the reach makes you lose the mission, thing is i made the init in the 3 Narcos this:
NarcoName disableAI "MOVE";
and then on the trigger i placed:
NarcoName enableAI "MOVE";
Y syncd the trigger to they waypoint of both, pilot and narcos so that when the player gets inside the trigger it activates, and they get inside the helo and then i placed a waypoint with this init:
((obj1 in helo1) || (!alive obj1), (obj2 in helo1) || (!alive obj2), (obj3 in helo1) || (!alive obj3))
and i also tried that with a "Waypoint activation" trigger, but the pilot will still fly off withouth the 3 guys

Yeah, but you were literally. Missing a bracket.

I don't see the point in giving someone shit who's still learning.
subtle ore
I'm not giving you shit at all, nor is anyone else. But you gotta look over it first man.
rancid ruin
hang him
sullen willow
I did what I thought I was supposed to do. It pointed me to line 35. The missing bracket wasn't even at line 35.
rancid ruin
missing the closing bracket is a serious offense
sullen willow
It is. I'll accept the hanging.
subtle ore
Oneoh, are you the one who has been casting spells on people lately?
golden storm
It said it was in line 35 because i think the engine counts the brackets in pairs, so what happened it counted pairs for all the brackets but since 1 once missing it "though" it would go at the very end hence why it says it was missing line 35 when you only have 34 lines π

Are you as a witch hunter, a witch?

don't let the guys in #ip_rights_violations see your author name is Motorola either, they will hang you again

so, with the (onu1 in thisList && onu2 in thisList); the vehicles are passing the trigger but its not activating
i need to do sometinng else?

Roque try: (onu1 && onu2 in thisList);
Or:
(onu1 && onu2) in thisList;
Guys could i get some love over here with my question? π¦
subtle ore
Well to begin with, make sure not to post in two different channels.
golden storm
I wasn't sure where to put it actually
copper raven
just add a second trigger checking for pilot inside helicopter synced with passenger guys
so when pilot gets inside heli, the guys waypoints will fire
golden storm
The guys will try to get to the helo, so will the pilot, thing is i added a second trigger (first one is the one that fires their waypoints to get into the helo) that has the conditions or so i thought for the pilot waypoint (once he's in the pilot seat) to activate:
((obj1 in helo1) || (!alive obj1), (obj2 in helo1) || (!alive obj2), (obj3 in helo1) || (!alive obj3))
But apparently i did something wrong because it still doesn't check for the passengers and so the pilot just takes off as soon as he can and flies away withouth the other guys
cinder gyro
Eh, do you guys know what up with this? _box addItemCargo ["G_40mm_HE", 80]; It doesnt spawn anything the the box
It works for some ammo added by a mod but not for this
waxen tide
how do i get rid of ""string"" -> "string"
copper raven
call compile ""string"";
thanks
cinder gyro
Nvm π€¦ I cant even read...

@astral tendon you sure you have setup the rest of the trigger right?

(onu1 inArea thisTrigger && onu2 inArea thisTrigger);
I dont use triggers, there are maybe better ways to do it

question
{isNull gunner _x} count [car1, car2, car3, car4] == 0
what does that 0 stand for?
peak plover
So, using xeh, any advantages using the class instead of CBA_fnc_addClassEventHandler for a mission?
I'm intending to add auto-loadouts, so all vehicles, units will get proper gear
copper raven
{isNull gunner _x} count [car1, car2, car3, car4] == 0
counts how many cars have a gunner in that array, if none of those cars have a gunner, returns true, else false @astral tendon
peak plover
Does gunner return null if there is no gunner?
copper raven
was just about to look
astral tendon
but what is that "== 0" ?
peak plover
Don't know try
Use the watch boxes
Spawn in 2 vehicles, 1 win crew 1 without. Look at the vehicle and watch box code:
gunner cursorObject
what do you mean? == 0?
if count with that condition in array is equal to 0 it retuns true
else false
{isNull gunner _x} count [car1, car2, car3, car4] > 2
if there are more than 2 gunners
astral tendon
also, this is in a trigger
what about the reverse?
{isNull gunner _x} count [car1, car2, car3, car4,car5,car6] == 0
if i wanna limit of 4 gunners to the trigger starts
how should i put it?
simple solstice
@waxen tide there is a better way to remove additional ". just use str
copper raven
{!isNull gunner _x} count [car1, car2, car3, car4,car5,car6] >= 4
if there are 4 or more than 4 gunners inside the array it will return true
@astral tendon
astral tendon
so that number in the end means the amout nessesary?
peak plover
@copper raven does => work, doesn't it have to be >=
astral tendon
{!isNull gunner _x} count [car1, car2, car3, car4, car5, car6] =<4
like that it will trigger if there is less than 4 gunners?
copper raven
yeah less than 4 or equal to 4
still forum
smaller than. smaller or equal. bigger or equal.
You don't really say equal or bigger. so >=
peak plover
add more parenthesis
peak plover
nice

Yeah, my issue now is trying to figure out how to make the bubble somewhat transparent, as I'm just using a pre-existing object in the game.

How would i go about displaying a picture in the middle of a screen of a player for lets say 5 seconds?
spice kayak
["<img image='PathToImageHere' />"-1,-1,4,1,0,789] spawn bis_fnc_dynamicText;
Something like that?
tough abyss
Yeah i tried that, however, im looking to have the picture take up the entire screen. This just creates a small image in the center.

@tough abyss Make it a RscTitle
polar folio
you can use ctrlCreate
_ctrl = (findDisplay 46) ctrlCreate ["RscPicture", -1];
_ctrl ctrlSetPosition [safezoneX, safeZoneY, safeZoneW, safeZoneH];
_ctrl ctrlSetText "path\to\pitcutre.paa";
_ctrl ctrlCommit 0;
0 = _ctrl spawn {sleep 5; ctrlDelete _this};
damn
how do you wrap code again?

Result of passing an agent with setVehicleVarName to a "side" command:

// Side: 00000000023AFA50
WHAT?!?!
peak plover
wtf
copper raven
@peak plover i think its resistance and civ
peak plover
civ returns nothing in watch box
civilian returns CIV in watch box
atomic epoch
I found out this bug after 4 HOURS of losing my mind.
I QUIT
copper raven
its civilian, for indep its resistance, but dont know why civilian side isnt working
polar folio
it's only caused by setVehicleVarname? i never seen or used that before
copper raven
When used in a format statement (hint format["%1",resistance]), the string returned is "GUER".
peak plover
Yeah but I don't need format
I need the side variable
west/east/resistance/civilian
Those are not trasnferred for some reason through my button
but west,east work
atomic epoch
@badbenson#0154 "side _agent" works fine, returns west. "side ai" returns.... Idk
peak plover
resistance,civilian,independent don't work
polar folio
what do you need the setVhicleVarname for though? curious
atomic epoch
Im doing "compile format [<create some agent>]", so I need setVar so I have something to reference my agent by
cloud thunder
_agent = createAgent [typeOf player, position player, [], 0, "NONE"]; _agent setVehicleVarName "ai"; ai = _agent; systemChat format ["Side: %1", side ai];

```sqf
_agent = createAgent [typeOf player, position player, [], 0, "NONE"];
_agent setVehicleVarName "ai";
ai = _agent;
systemChat format ["Side: %1", side ai];

What was the script again?

ctrlButton value = [west,"WEST"] etc...
then later grab the thing

then grab

Is there a call compile?
peak plover
..maybe?
little eagle
lol
little eagle
call compile str west; // WEST
call compile str east; // EAST
call compile str independent; // any
call compile str civilian; // any
SIDE cannot be serialized.
peak plover
what about west?
little eagle
Well, WEST and EAST can.
peak plover
I need more coffee to handle all of this...
I don't get it π¦
Other than they added indep/civ later and didn't go the same lengths
little eagle
str west; // "WEST"
str east; // "EAST"
str independent; // "GUER"
str civilian; // "CIV"
call compile "WEST"
call compile "EAST"
call compile "INDEPENDENT"
call compile "CIVILIAN"
vapid frigate
str _side is giving the "description" of the side, which annoyingly isn't the same as the command to return the side for indep/civ
little eagle
str SIDE only matches the command name for WEST and EAST.
You'd need a small function to serialize SIDE type.
Not that hard.
cloud thunder
don't forget about this still being a thing str resistance ; // "GUER"
little eagle
private _fnc_serializeSide = {
#define SIDES [west, east, independent, civilian]
#define SIDES_STR ["WEST", "EAST", "INDEPENDENT", "CIVILIAN"]
params [["_side", sideUnknown, [west]]];
SIDES_STR param [SIDES find _side, "SIDEUNKNOWN"] // return
};
There are some more, but this should be enough for what you're doing.
Jigsor, resistance is just an alias for independent.
Exactly the same thing.
The game can't tell the difference between those two.
Like west and blufor, and east and opfor.
little eagle
Sure, every time I speak it's about the current version of A3 unless stated otherwise.
cloud thunder
Ok same here.. reguarding A3- https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Side
its not obsolete
incase you want to make your script for public and cover all bases
indigo snow
the commands are different but the return is the same, so it doesnt matter
little eagle
It isn't, but it doesn't matter which one you use. I like west more than blufor, but independent more than resistance for whatever reason.
Just personal preference.
incase you want to make your script for public and cover all bases
That you don't need to do, because two commands are identical and the game can't tell the difference as I wrote.
cloud thunder
resistance is shorter. lol
little eagle
Example:
[west, blufor] find blufor // 0
resistance reminds me of EE.
"resistance is voltage per current" or however these things are labeled in English.
/giphy resistance is futile
