is there a way to increase/reduce acuracy of a vehicle? i can redice the acuracy of a AI unit but not a gunner.
#arma3_scripting
astral tendon
peak plover
private _nil = {_x setSkill ['aimingAccuracy',0.01];false}count (crew _vehicle);
In case commander has a weapon etc.
I find that setting all crew memebers to low accuracy causes less porblems then leaving some with higher accuracy, especially if vehicle might be different
And some vehicles have more than 1 gunners
astral tendon
that code i just trow on the vehicle init or i need to swap something?
peak plover
Yea you do
_vehicle = this;
private _nil = {
_x setSkill ['aimingAccuracy',0.01];
false
}count (crew _vehicle);
That should do the trick
Make sure you add that to the VEHICLE
comment 'Set group accuracy to low';
_unit = this;
private _nil = {
_x setSkill ['aimingAccuracy',0.01];
false
}count (units _unit);
Would work on group/unit
peak plover
I think some vehicles are scripted or sth, I couldn't change accuracy of some RHS vehicles..
or maybe old interpolation was playing tricks on me
Gotta retest ai

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
astral tendon
you guys know a better way to make AI do a decent convoy?
copper raven
group them, and make waypoint on group leader, thats the best i can get, mb there is other way
astral tendon
way points does not seens to work if i need to stop a vehicel somewere and then move
copper raven
use waypoint activation fields to stop the vehicles etc
golden storm
@astral tendon you could use a trigger that uses "Group disableAI "MOVE""
Oh yeah, you'd have to use it for every single unit, my bad
astral tendon
my problem really is that some times i need they to split to park in one directon but they do not break formations
copper raven
the condition youre typing will never return true in my opinion
@golden storm what condition do you want ? the one youre typing is weird
waxen tide
@simple solstice thx
astral tendon
what is the equivalent to the DoStop to units follow their waypoint again?
little eagle
_unit doMove position _unit;
This will order them to move to where they are atm. Which will be completed instantaneously and then the unit returns to formation.
astral tendon
_unit is the name of the unit i need to swap?
little eagle
Yeah. It's a variable. Replace as needed.
astral tendon
in my case are 4 units
little eagle
This code is for 1.
astral tendon
so i just repeat?
little eagle
Yeah, or make a loop if you want it to happen at the same time and you don't want to write it down multiple times.
{
_x doMove position _x;
} forEach [_unit1, _unit2, _unit3, _unit4];
The wiki lied again. It says forEach accepts uncompiled string as code block and so does the ingame hint.
"systemChat _x" forEach ["a","b","c"];
This just says "generic error" for me.
peak plover
Wiki is usually nice to me
maybe he lies when he's drunk
It is saturday after all...
queen cargo
@little eagle probably removed that
and nobody updated the wiki
weird part is the ingame hint though ...
that should work with supportInfo
astral tendon
commy2 that did not worked, the AI is not moving to its original waypoint
still forum
@little eagle I guess "(OFP / Armed Assault) " means String for OFP and Code for Arma
little eagle
Just delete it from the wiki if it no longer works ffs.
queen cargo
quick question: can doMove be used without errors for other objects? (createVehicle)
queen cargo
that actually is enough for me
astral tendon
limitSpeed 0 does not work?
queen cargo
(A3 1.24)To clarify, limitSpeed only do effect on non-player controlled AI units, it has continuous effect and AI won’t break through the speed limitation until one is contacted, engaged or regrouped.
astral tendon
yes but, the AI still moves

So i'm making a custom Arsenal with the help of a script i found on the ARMA 3 forums, i've modified it with the ACE and TFAR mods, and i've added some class names of the items i want to add, but although i have the ace mod enabled it will only list the vanilla items, and it will only show a piece of the error:
Class "TFAR_mr3000_multicam" not found in CfgWeapons
still forum
You have TFAR not loaded. Apparently. And if it doesn't show ACE items.. You also didn't load ACE
little eagle
They ignore the speed limit in danger mode obviously.
Isn't TFAR_mr3000_multicam a backpack and not a weapon?
golden storm
Well i have loaded both of them on my side, so i don't get why it won't show
little eagle
Don't use addWeaponCargoGlobal with a backpack is what the game is trying to tell you.
golden storm
_contents =
nul = ["AmmoboxInit",[_this,false]] spawn BIS_fnc_arsenal;
clearBackpackCargoGlobal _this;
clearItemCargoGlobal _this;
clearMagazineCargoGlobal _this;
clearWeaponCargoGlobal _this;
{
_toAdd = _contents select _forEachIndex;
_fnc = missionNamespace getVariable format [ "BIS_fnc_addVirtual%1Cargo", _x ];
[_this, _toAdd, true ] call _fnc;
}forEach [ "backpack", "item", "magazine", "weapon" ];
THats the code i used is it wrong?

Probably not this part.
But that first line does look fishy.

So, on the arsenal would i need to use addWeaponCargoGlobal, addItemCargoGlobal, and so on manuall for it to work so i tell the game what kind of item they are?
peak plover
while (_item isEqualType []) do {
_item = _item param [0,""];

does this make sense?

it makes item
little eagle
You just have to make sure that the radio backpack is in "backpack" and not "item", "weapon" or "magazine", Lorflord.

I think Ivan_fnc_circle_check returns the assignment operator.
waxen tide
googles assignment operator
little eagle
=
Example:
_a = {
_b = 1;
};
^ This would cause the same error.
You have to make your functions so that they never end with an assignment operator, because SQF is shite.
Fixed:
_a = {
_b = 1;
nil
};
Sorry for the variable names. Too much trigonometry today.
waxen tide
I don't think i follow. https://github.com/ArmAIvan/ADMM3/blob/master/ADMM3.Altis/functions/common/fn_circle_check.sqf
little eagle
Just use the debug console and play around with:
_a = {
_b = 1;
};
The function you posted looks fine. Updated by chance? The error is definitely from a returned assignment.

Hi guys
is it possible to add a proxy using a script? or is attachTo the only way to add another object using scripting?

depends on the functionality the attached object needs to have
you can always use simpleObject to spawn a thing without class name based on a model file path
astral tendon
how do i identifie a gunner of a vehicle?
like, i wanna make a telepor that one gunner in a vehicle gets teleported to another one
austere granite
gunner _vehicle
might not work for some vehicles, depends on the setup
like in a blackhawk / ghosthawk the door gunners are both "gunners"
in that case you'd have to use fullCrew and check for turret (with fire from vehicle turrets off)
waxen tide
@little eagle i uploaded the very current version of the function to github before linking to you.

Hey guys, I'm trying to use BIS_fnc_spawnGroup to spawn custom compositions that consist of buildings and units.
When I use this function, it doesn't seem to make use of the "dir" attribute and just points all of the objects in the composition in the same direction... any thoughts? Or more information needed?
subtle ore
@autumn palm dir = direction 0-360 iirc
autumn palm
It can't be outside of this? I thought - just "counterclockwised" it
subtle ore
No I don't think so. What are you trying to do exactly?
autumn palm
I have a laptop that's a Composition Spawner
Brings up a list of compositions
You choose a composition
then select a spot on the map
and it safe spawns it around where you clicked
Just tested a composition that has all 0-360 directions and it did the same thing :/
subtle ore
well yes, the direction parameter doesn't go past that.
autumn palm
Ignore the dir outside of 0-360
They're all within 0-360 in another composition I'm using
this one was just more concise
@subtle ore Bohemia themselves use negative values for dir in their cfggroups btw
subtle ore
I think you mis understood what I had said.
autumn palm
Alright, can you clarify, please?
subtle ore
What I had meant is that, yes you can input a negative value but it's from 0-360 in either direction
if I didn't convey that clear enoug the first time, I am sorry
autumn palm
Nah, that's fine, well then my config groups adhere to that standard
Still need to find out why it's not taking effect when using BIS_fnc_spawnGroup
If I put them down in Eden they all face the correct way no problem
subtle ore
if you pass a direction in the spawnGroup function then it'll take over the direction defined in config afaik.
autumn palm
Yeah, I'm not passing a direction
I assume it defaults to nil... maybe that's the problem
subtle ore
check out what the default is in the header. Maybe it assumes a default direction
autumn palm
Looks like spawn group does default an azimuth
I'll just take it and rewrite it to pull the object's dir
thanks much!
subtle ore
Sure.

@little eagle do you know a magic trick to get every var in a namespace?
tough abyss
I have an array that for whatever reason isn't showing me the values in it, its just displaying as "any"
For context, I am passing a global array into a function:
transport_recieve = [pilot1];
[transport_recieve] call KAL_fnc_propagate;
Propagate does:
params ["_inputArray"];
hint format ["%1", _inputArray];
I'm expecting the hint to read "[pilot1]", which is the variable name for one of my player units.
Instead, it is saying "any"
I'm at a loss of what's happening here.
peak plover
@waxen tide allVariables
waxen tide
duh. thanks 😳
subtle ore
Kal, is the pilot alive?
tough abyss
Found the (odd) issue. Apparently I need to set the paramter in a variable before I can access it. Ex
_test = _this select 0;
I haven't had this issue before. Weird.
Yeah the pilot was alive.
subtle ore
what do you mean set it before you can acess it?
tough abyss
params ["_inputArray"];
hint format ["%1", _inputArray];
returns any
params ["_inputArray"];
_temp = _this select 0;
hint format ["%1", _temp];
returns [pilot1]
subtle ore
doens't make sense. Because params["_inputArray"]; should return _inputArray just like _temp = _this select 0;
tough abyss
It should, but it wasn't working.
subtle ore
that's really freaking odd.

You're telling me. I just spent 2 hours on that.

as count is much faster than forEach, and pushBack is also faster than any alternatives, this is the best solution.
queen cargo
@tough abyss nope, it is not
Only if you got a small array
Large arrays are easier merged via +
Assignment is also slower than just using false in the end
tough abyss
The documentation LIES. Again
I dream of the day we have an IDE to run code so its easier to time
And debug. And. Everything.

strange accent, shrapnel proof, and shady shit going on all the time.

No, but - really. It's a valid array, it has stuff in it before I pass it, all the other parameters are fine, but its like that one array says "Ah, fuck it" and just becomes 'any'. I can't fathom what's happening.
queen cargo
@tough abyss ArmA.Studio allows you to debug code with breakpoints etc
Also working on sqf-vm to allow running sqf without arna

i compulsively hit ctrl s regularly
which I have to cancel on websites
like a twitch reflex
....and when I'm not typing or between actively using keyboard I rest my left hand in a position to hit ctrl s...oddly enough
queen cargo
Worst part of that habit is when you just edit a temporary memory-only file
Clicking away those save dialogs...
zenith edge
yea hitting ctrl s can be bad in some programs
i've saved things I didn't mean to before....a lot
queen cargo
And wondering why you saved some random links? 😜
zenith edge
but I also don't ever lose data from crashes/sudden restarts for updates 😃
i just lose data because I am in a program that doesn't allow undo(or undo past once) and just accidentally hit a letter and compulsively hit ctrl s after highlighting everything

Kinda yeah

which is why don't use programs that don't have undo....if you can

I'll dig through it as soon as I figure out why this array dies after I pass it into a function. Been at it for 5 hours now

My neck... Damn train still needs 8 mins

I can literally do
_temp = [pilot1];

call KAL_fnc_depropagate

];
BELOW IS KAL_fnc_depropagate
params ["_state", "_requester", "_recievedThisTask", "_vehicle"];
//Finish task for pilots
{
["task_transport_%1", _state, true] remoteExec ["BIS_fnc_taskSetState", _x, false];
} forEach _recievedThisTask;
yet it INSISTS that any _value I pass into it is any
even if I were to do, say
_bob = player;
and pass that into the function call instead of just player, it's just 'any'
queen cargo
The array scope cannot know of the outer scope
Thus you pass an non-existent variable into your event callback
tough abyss
how do I pass the variables then?
queen cargo
Depends on the value type
tough abyss
_temp in this case is an array of playable units
queen cargo
Global variable or passing netids etc
tough abyss
netIDs?
queen cargo
Alternatively try cba
queen cargo
Think cba you can pass custom args
Well... Then you have to write that code yourself
tough abyss
Fucking hell, the fuck kind of language can't pass a fucking local variable to another function
queen cargo
You do not pass the variable
The event is getting its own scope
Not sharing the one it got added to
From
tough abyss
Would I run into the same issue with an array of the netIDs though? I'm building that array from another function that searches for players that are pilots.
the _temp array that i'm trying to pass, that is.
queen cargo
You can pass a string to that function
Command
Which is the difference
Use Format to pass the array
tough abyss
Couldn't I format my _temp array and use the variable names?
tough abyss
But the editor names are global values. If I name a rifleman "bob", bob will always refer to him
queen cargo
I am on mobile right now so cannot Rly provide more help
tough abyss
all good
queen cargo
The alternative Btw is
To add it via set variable to the player
And then just get variable in the event handler from the player object
Train is here
See ya
tough abyss
I, don't know how that works honestly. Guess its time to tinker some more.
little eagle
player setVariable ["Kal_GIM_args", _args];

}];
or
[player, "GetInMan", {
_thisArgs params ["_arg1", "_arg2"];
}, _args] call CBA_fnc_addBISEventHandler;
Assignment is also slower than just using false in the end
Pretty sure an assignment is faster than a nullary command (false). Nullary commands are worse than binary commands and an assignment should be cheap.
But if you're doing {pushBack _x, then you might as well just copy the whole thing with +.
tough abyss
Ooh, fancy. How'd you get the syntax highlighting in discord?

This "hand draw marker"
real tartan
yeah, but if it is immage on map controll, why is it on same place when I move map
little eagle
It can't be an image. Because that would have to either be a RscPicture or similar control, which can't be, because it would be behind the map control.
Or a display which can't be, because then you couldn't navigate the map.
real tartan
in spotrep is mentioned: Added: IDAP map marker set
little eagle
copyToClipboard ("true" configClasses (configFile >> "CfgMarkers") apply {configName _x});
It might be a marker you can't place yourself neither ingame nor in the editor. Maybe it's there and you just have to search though.
If you can't with the ui, you can always just use scripting to get it.
real tartan
should not be there "str" ? copyToClipboard str ("true" configClasses (configFile >> "CfgMarkers") apply {configName _x});

Anyone know why I can't setDamage 1 on an IEDLandBig_F in multiplayer? Tried it first in SP and it works fine there.
Seems to be that editor placed ones can be blown up while ones that are created with createVehicle can't. Anything I'm overseeing here?

that one works, lol what's the difference.
placid root
createVehicle in combination with a "mine"-object creates the mine but without its propaties. createMine creates a object with mine propaties
distant egret
k

like the propaty, that if u go near it it explodes

it doesn't do that just tried that
placid root
what was the code?

createMine ["IEDLandBig_F",getpos player, [],0]
doesn't blow up automatically, which I don't mind because I got a trigger setup for it.

because it throws an error in a trigger without bla=

astral tendon
(thisList select 0) action ["getInGunner",car1];
i tried other ways to make this work but noting
do i need to put something else in the trigger?
also, i am sure i is activating by sound
but it also gives me no error
there is something else i can try?
little eagle
I did exactly what you wrote and it worked, Roque.
The problem is that you don't understand how any of this works. Without me trying to be mean.
thisList will not contain units that board a vehicle. Only the parent objects in the trigger.
select 0 is a bad idea, because you have no idea which element the player will be.
And so is using this action on remote machines. The trigger fires on every machine.
There is no need for action getInGunner. You can just use the normal moveToGunner sqf command.
But to hop from one vehicle to another, you need to use moveOut first.
astral tendon
yes i had gived up on that
what i am trying to do is when a player touch the trigger he gets in to the gunner of a vehicle on the other side of the map
little eagle
Trigger:
Type: None
Activation: Blufor
Condition: vehicle player in thisList
On Act.: moveOut player; player moveInGunner car1;
This is my best guess for what you want to do. But you never really explained what that is exactly.
little eagle
The moveOut player; is needed if you already are in another vehicle.
If that isn't what you want, then you might as well rewrite the condition to: player in thisList without "vehicle".
astral tendon
so basicly, in condition player in thisList
is TheGuyWhoTouchTheTrigger action ["getInGunner",car1];
astral tendon
my first question was how i make a trigger use the command over the player who touch the trigger
little eagle
The answer is:
Condition: vehicle player in thisList
Then the trigger will only execute if the player is in the trigger.
Not any other blue unit or other player.
little eagle
If you do it like I did it will work in MP, as long as you don't have "server only" ticked.
astral tendon
"server only" ticked?
little eagle
Not ticked.
server only would mean that the "on act." code only runs on the server machine.
On a dedicated server, player is always null.
So the condition would always be false.
It's always false anyway, but if you don't tick "server only", then it will be run on all clients too.
And on clients, the player's vehicle can be inside the trigger and therefore activate it.
And then run the code with player always being a local object and moveOut and moveInGunner working nicely.
astral tendon
thats someting that every server owner knows?
little eagle
How this all works? I doubt it.
All you need to have to own a server is $$$. To understand how it works you need effort.
astral tendon
well, i am making this mission public
i want to make this as friendly and "idiot prove" as possible
funny that i am a little idiot here lol
little eagle
A trigger like this is pretty self explanatory. But an idiot could just delete the whole trigger and there is nothing you can do about that.
astral tendon
more dificult is AI idiot-proof mission, lol
some times they are too inconsistent
especially driving
they cant do the same conner in the same way over and over again
they aways find a way to fuck up some how
i am trying to eat the frustration frist before the players and find a way round it
especially because i want all of this to work
its a tribute to another game i love
weak obsidian
Did you try setdriveonpath for the vehicles? As much as I've understood you want to replicate that driving sequence from Delta Force: Black hawk down?
I do concur with quiksilver that it's best not to rely too much on AI for such things, keep AI actions simple or else it will become too unpredictable.

Hello guys, i am training myself with GUI actually. I am working on a notification system like this one : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTypM4AHc4k

how can i handle the fact that a notification push the other when she comes out ?

im seting up a trigger to start if there is 4 players inside of it, but this is a coop set up, so maybe there is not enough players to fil that requirement, how would be the script?
waxen tide
you can do count allplayers
that gives you the number of all players on the server
then you check if an equal number is inside your trigger to have it activated?
i'm guessing thats what you meant.
astral tendon
but it have to be couting the players on the server to start
like the tigger must ativate with 4 players inside it
but if there is less than 4 players online on the server the trigger can still ativate
indigo snow
count (thisList arrayIntersect allPlayers) == count allPlayers
astral tendon
what do i need to change in it?
indigo snow
Thats it
It checks if there are as many players in thisList as there are players in total
astral tendon
so this condition starts the trigger if all the player online touch it right?
indigo snow
If they fulfill the condition set, yes
E.g. if theyre blufor, the trigger must detect blufor present

nice, this is what i want

but it doesn't work. if i check on my carrier, it returns an object, but there is no object visible. a test object spawned in the same fashion (lighthouse) is visible.
am i insane or is this broken?
subtle ore
why would you want to create it locally?
anyhow, they are each a individual object, it's essentially a composition
so I am pretty sure they have multiple functions for the individual parts.
waxen tide
i'm creating it locally since i'm having it drive around for a cutscene. doesn't work if you create it on a server, too many position updates, lag, etc.
if you just use createvehicle, it works like a charm. the issue starts with using createvehicle local
subtle ore
is this remote exec'd ?
waxen tide
no.
subtle ore
So this is local to the player?
subtle ore
Not sure why it wouldn't work, maybe it's simply incompatible.
waxen tide
works for lighthouses, doesn't work for carrier
also createvehicle works if you run it on server just fine
subtle ore
afaik the only difference between the main createVehicle and createVehicleLocal is just the locality difference
waxen tide
ahhh wait
i forgot
first line in "BIS_fnc_Carrier01PosUpdate" is: if (!isServer) exitWith {};
i copied that script, removed the line, and called my modified copy. doesn't work

is the object those things are being attached to facing 0?
waxen tide
no its multiple objects in random directions
uhm
sorry i missunderstood your question
yes, it is facing 0
robust hollow
save the dir before you attach it and set it again after
attaching an object sets its dir to the dir of the thing its attached to
robust hollow
ur carrier still invisible?
waxen tide
yeah
i'm working around the issue spawning the carrier as global vehicle that is synced over network, since that works
but i can't have it drive around then which is a bit sad
robust hollow
its cause the init script has the isserver check for the visible parts
waxen tide
?
robust hollow
you know how you had to make your own setcarrierpos fnc cause only the server could run the BIS one? its the same deal for showing the carrier parts. the BIS script only lets the server do it
waxen tide
is it Carrier01Init?
robust hollow
yea
waxen tide
i looked at that
but i brainfarted at interpreting the first line again i guess.
i'll try that. thanks
trying to do complicated stuff that requires knowledge in lots of things isn't all that fun sometimes.
Ahh yes, this reduced randomly exploding objects on the carrier deck to a reasonably low number.
Do you know a way to access the units placed as "playable" in the editor that work as slots for players to join?
robust hollow
what do you mean?
waxen tide
well if you design a multiplayer mission you usually put down a bunch of units and tag them "playable" and these units don't spawn if you set "disabledAI" in the description.ext. so how to access those invisible, not-jet-spawned units?
robust hollow
i dont think you can? if they arent spawned they dont exist so.....
waxen tide
http://i.imgur.com/JGSPqnF.jpg also i need an aircraft carrier service technician.
little eagle
If you disable the AI, then the units don't exist unless someone joins that slot and respawn is enabled.
There are no objects to access.
waxen tide
scratches his head
i guess thats why on all these dayz mods and w/e you always spawn in some odd place and then you're teleported.
little eagle
This is the closest thing you can do: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/playableSlotsNumber
waxen tide
well the issue is, these units are on the carrier. i move the carrier. so JIPs end up in water
little eagle
Just move "respawn_west" marker.
waxen tide
ohhh. thanks.
little eagle
I'm pretty sure that's enough for JIP players. If not, then you could also just setPos them instead, no?
waxen tide
with an onConnect eventhandler or something?
little eagle
initPlayerLocal.sqf
little eagle
The onPlayerConnected one fires on the server. Dunno about the delay, could still make you drown and look weird.
waxen tide
i'll try it out.
little eagle
Just attach a logic to the carrier and setPosASL or something.
waxen tide
?
little eagle
Game logic or some other kind of dummy object.
waxen tide
whatfor?
little eagle
_unit setPosASL getPosASL my_logic
in initPlayerLocalsqf
waxen tide
why not use the carrier directly?
little eagle
Would spawn you inside it, no?
little eagle
Yeah, but you need to rotate that, What a pain.
waxen tide
rotate?
little eagle
The carrier doesn't always point in the same direction, does it?
waxen tide
well it does, but lets assume it doesn't, i don't see the issue?
little eagle
If you're just going to spawn them in the middle of the carrier and z=25 above, then it makes no difference.
But if you'd spawn them off center, you'd need to rotate the vector or do stuff with modelToWorld as Connor pointed out, idk.
waxen tide

I'm trying to create an array that contains a copy of each object on a carrier to replicate the same objects on a locally spawned carrier. i kind of need to sort out the carrier parts
this only works partially
OBJECTS: all objects

SPAWN: objects that will be spawned on new carrier
apparently some parts of the carrier aren't children of "Land_Carrier_01_hull_base_F" ? BI inconsistency or am i being stupid?
robust hollow
you're needing an array of the carrier parts itself or things uve put on the deck?

If you use the editor in SP mode, the init.sqf and the initplayerlocal.sqf should be executed. if you run it in MP mode, the initServer.sqf should be executed, too. but your player will be LOCAL to the "server". you need to start a seperate dedicated server to simulate MP correctly.

I tested with scenario if the main script works. But when I host the server it doesnt work
Yeah the init.sqf worked in SP
waxen tide
onPlayerRespawn.sqf is an event script. Those event scripts are executed whenever the event happens.
you want to save gear when a player dies and then restore it on respawn?
muted parcel
Yeah I know but initServer.sqf doesnt work
waxen tide
then onPlayerRespawn.sqf should be the right place to RESTORE the gear - but you need to SAVE it before you can do that?
muted parcel
I just want to execute a script when the game starts.
waxen tide
show the code you put into the initServer.sqf
muted parcel
_act = player addAction ["Save Inventory", "saveLoadout.sqf"];
[player, [missionNamespace, "inventory_var"]] call BIS_fnc_saveInventory;`
okay so the server i think is a "player" itself that connects to .. itself. so i think you're attaching an addAction to the server.
muted parcel
This is the saveLoadout.sqf
waxen tide
you need to put that into the initplayerlocal.sqf
if you want it to be executed on each player
waxen tide
so in my initplayerlocal.sqf is the following line:
execVM "debug.sqf";
player addAction ["Teleport",
"[""teleport_id"", ""onMapSingleClick"", ""Ivan_fnc_teleport_player""] call BIS_fnc_addStackedEventHandler;openMap true",
nil,1.5,false,true,"DEBUG_SWITCH = true"];
and thats what my debug.sqf looks like
and it works just fine!
muted parcel
SP or MP mission?
waxen tide
MP
muted parcel
hm
I will test it again
wtf now I respawn at 00000
I put it into onPlayerRespawn.sqf and this works.
simple solstice
@little eagle yes, thankyou!
@muted parcel https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/getUnitLoadout
wouldn't that be better?
muted parcel
Why?
I mean with loadInventory and saveInventory I have everything I need
The problem now is that the script does not work by running it with init.sqf, initServer.sqf or initPlayerLocal.sqf
Wiht onPlayerRespawn.sqf it works but thats not a good solution

can you detect if an AI (civie) is in a panicked state or has spotted a hostile ?

{!isNull gunner _x} count [car1, car2, car3, car4,car5,car6] >= 4
i wanna this to work only with a especific group and count only the amout alive inside of the group
so, if a group have 4 units, 2 of they die this trigger must work for those 2 units left
little eagle
And they all have to be gunners?
astral tendon
this trigger will ativate once there is 4 gunners inside in one of those 6 vehicles
in case 2 of the units that are supouse to in die i wan it to still trigger by the amout of units in alive on that group

@still forum as DEMANDED by you i utilized select.
http://i.imgur.com/EuKmJsr.jpg the result isn't perfect tho
all objects are placed correctly on the carrier i copy the data from, and i tread all objects in the same foreach loop. so i don't know why the position in Z is off for like half of them?
subtle ore
At that res it looks perfect
waxen tide
maybe they sit on "invisible" carrier parts like here: http://i.imgur.com/g3uwThP.jpg
its not only the res, steam compresses screenshots to death with jpg
subtle ore
Even so, looks like you shot that at 1280x720
waxen tide
its 1920x1080
despite armas ability to scale UI, 4k downsampling doesn't work properly.
rose hatch
Any reason why this wouldn't work as an if statement condition?
(typeof getConnectedUAV player == "C_IDAP_UAV_06_antimine_F")
subtle ore
No looks perfect. @Nutter#5134
rose hatch
Yippee
subtle ore
@waxen tide 4k almost looks akward without antialiasing
waxen tide
what. downsampling 4k -> 1080p is high quality antialiasing
waxen tide
You should be terribly ashamed of yourself.
subtle ore
Don't doubt it one bit, crying myself to sleep tonight.

according to the log my planes all share the same Z height. sigh
ionic orchid
@waxen tide I used to get Z offset issues all the time until I realised I needed to use setPosASL to avoid any weird Z behaviour
if I used setPos it would ignore Z and try to figure out its own height - so I'd have NPCs on rooftops and stuff
could be something to look into?
waxen tide
oh yeah! lemme try
i don't setPos them at all, i just createVehicleLocal them and then attachTo
ionic orchid
hmm, that's not something I've really used 😦
waxen tide
i can't spawn an aircraft carrier with 20 planes on it, glue it together with attachTo, and then have a loop move it 0.2m as fast as the loop will go for 6000 iterations, AND send this pile of a mess to every connected client.
so i'm doing all that rubbish locally.
ionic orchid
:S
ionic orchid
so what I'd do is...
_planePos = _accObj modelToWorldWorld [x, x, x];
_plane setPosASL _planePos;
where [x, x, x] is the position on the plane relative to its local centre
waxen tide
ahh wait, i forgot to add the vectordiff of the carrier.
so i set them to around 0,0
okay now the ones that were at proper height? they're still there and at proper height. but the "too high" ones are gone.
@ionic orchid i have no clue what your command seems to do?
ionic orchid
which one?
waxen tide
the one in your second last message... modelToWorld ...
ionic orchid
okay that's a way to turn an object space position into a world space position...
so like, if you know the top of a player's head is at [0, 0, 2] ...you can use that command on any player to find the top of the head in world coordinates
so if that player walks around, you can always track the top of their head just by doing
_headPos = player modelToWorld [0, 0, 2];
and the same goes for your air-craft carrier....if you know where you want the planes to rest, you can use that command to find exactly where they need to be in the world, no matter where you put the ACC
waxen tide
i see
i've used setPosASL now to nail them into place
thats what my logging throws out
half of the planes are visible, half isn't
i'll try modelToWorld
ionic orchid
those negative Z values will place them under the sea
since the ASL is measured from sea level ( http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Position )
waxen tide
@ionic orchid you is of genius! it wörks!
I don't see why my approach didn't work but whatever.
waxen tide
now i need to get the landing gear of the supersonic jets retracted and i can finally put this script to rest
rose hatch
How can I create an array with x number of empty elements. For example, if _number = 3 then I get ["","",""]
waxen tide
_my_empty_array = [];
_number = 3;
for "_i" from 1 to _number step 1 do
{
_my_empty_array pushBack "";
};
oh wait you wanted strings.
waxen tide
i'm sure dedmen will come up with something thats 10x faster and requires only 1 line of code.
little eagle
private _array = [];
_array resize 3;
_array = _array apply {""};

if (isnil _pylons) then {
_numHardpoints = count (configfile >> "CfgVehicles" >> typeOf _vehicle >> "Components" >> "TransportPylonsComponent" >> "Pylons");
_pylons = [];
_pylons resize _numHardpoints;
_pylons = _pylons apply {""};
};
{
_vehicle setPylonLoadOut [_forEachIndex + 1, _x, true, -1]
} forEach _pylons;
Can now either clear or set a vehicles pylons w/ an array... If anyone was interested in my end goal
halcyon crypt
do we have a way to do something continue like in loops yet? 😃
rose hatch
Seems to work without quotes when I try...
little eagle
No, marcel, only breakOut/To and exitWith.
halcyon crypt
bleh 😦
wasn't there some breakOut/To trick to break to the top of the current scope?
little eagle
The syntax is:
isNil STRING
with the string being the variable name.
halcyon crypt
nvm breakOut "" apparently mimics exitWith
little eagle
No.
ivory vector
is it possible to do a waitUntil along with onPlayerConnected to remoteExec a function to that client once he has picked a slot and spawned in?
little eagle
Why though?
initPlayerLocal.sqf
or
initPlayerServer.sqf
is what you're trying to reinvent.

im trying to make a server addon pbo for a phone system im working on for my server, im just trying to hide as much as i can server side.
peak plover
What does a phone have to do with onPlayerConnected?
little eagle
Then make it a CfgFunctions function with postInit set to 1. The player will exist.
ivory vector
gotta set the players number to the player.
peak plover
Don't have to set it onPlayerConnected
ivory vector
i have a query that runs on the server when the player connects to get the players number from the database.
peak plover
Using CBA?
ivory vector
vanilla
little eagle
CfgFunctions
postInit = 1
That should be enough for vanilla.
peak plover
Yeah

"But 'muh Dark RP server"

``` would that work ? @little eagle im just trying to hide as much as i canThis is just an assignment. It does nothing.
ivory vector
But I can call this function with onPlayerConnected ?
little eagle
It looks unnecessarily complicated.
ivory vector
probably, just at the moment all of the functions are server side, only 1 of the functions are being published to the client
