There is a quite popular youtuber that has videos on SQF optimization..
Who?
still forum
you improve the compile time.. by like.. a couple microseconds.. You save a couple microseconds on a action that is done once.
If you consider that you will be playing for atleast half an hour.. How much is a couple microseconds of saved time worth?
The guy that made the script that @tough abyss just linked
tough abyss
^ and makes it unmaintainable.

*saves a microsecond for compiling but takes hours more to debug

Instead of giving real advice like following the performance guide on BIKI or using cfgFunctions.. He just ignores people that recommend him to do that.
tough abyss
Be prepared for eyecancer
still forum
He has quite a big outreach.. and is using that to teach people pure garbage
little eagle
We should make a page filled with bad advice and pretend it was good advice.
tough abyss
xD
little eagle
Why not though? Do you care if people have a bad time with this? Make suggestions that sound clever, but only lead to problems. "Like replace all forEach with count".

not that taboo anymore... Got some performance inprovements afaik

switch is basically just a couple if/then's
peak plover
hahaha
tough abyss
Yeah but nicer to read.

I should get on some of this spicy fake optimizations
little eagle
Also, put things into functions with compileFinal, because that is super secure and can't be overwritten!
peak plover
I've developed a 100% secure way
little eagle
Illegible code
tough abyss
Obfuscation yeah sure.
peak plover
Put your script in a computer that is off the grid, then throw it away once the script is done
BOOM, 100% security

I also have a 100% secure way.

True, can't argue with that.

Yet again with undefined variable.
How and why... it's not possible for nearRoads to return nothing while in the mission map?
As in first setup?
little eagle
One argument of nearRoads could be nil.
tough abyss
_randRoadObj = selectRandom _iedRoads;
Falls through.
Ohhhh.
Right
I'll try find
little eagle
selectRandom []
is nil btw.
still forum
getMarkerSize could return empty array. and when you then do a select 0 you get nil
little eagle
No error. 😂 🔫
little eagle
getMarkerSize reports [0,0,0] at worst
still forum
if _iedRoads being empty is the problem.. then check it for not being empty using count
for "_i" from 1 to iedNum do {
if (count _ieds == iedNum*4) exitWith {};
wtf is that?
checking the same condition on every iteration?
_ieds never changes and iedNum also doesn't

If you wanna see. Btw he is also too dumb to even read numbers.. 0.0012ms is apparently 12 milliseconds..
He also recommends to use incredibly small mission names.. because that will magically improve script performance
tough abyss
omg
My eyes...
Concatenating everything on 1 line is such an eyesore.
He uses chained expressions isn't that a bad idea?
Taking multiple commands and feeding them into each other in 1 statement on 1 line?

@little eagle that I want to be proven 😛

He also made Addon Free Arma Radio btw.
I didn't take a look at it's code yet.. And I'm sure I don't want to
tough abyss
I think you are right
I could quite easily remove this.
if (count _ieds == iedNum*4) exitWith {};
It's redundant.
Whats you guys opinion on using call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers in place of execVM?
This was something noted on Virtual Battlespace 3.0 wiki
scarlet spoke
If your using the code more than once then yes
still forum
the online difference is call vs spawn
@scarlet spoke call compile implies that it's used once
you'd have to store the result of compile. instead of calling it directly.
Just use cfgFunctions.
scarlet spoke
Yeah I know... But it could be that some lines beneath that the exactly same code is written again... Thus used twice but each time recompiled
tough abyss
I might for the sake of prototyping use
compileFinal PreProcessFileLineNumbers
and assign it a function name that is compatible with cfgFunctions.hpp so it can be a seamless transistion
e.g GG_fnc_something
The IED script is fixed anyway
the exitWith might have been the culprit...
Yep it was....

inland drift
the failure rate is in the weapons config iirc
simple solstice
@astral tendon if your mission doesn't work on every difficulty you are doing something wrong
little eagle
Question answered ✅
inland drift
on a scale of 1 to awful how much would this script not work
if ("apc1" inArea rearmtrigger1) then {apc1 setVehicleAmmo 1};
} else {
if ("apc2" inArea rearmtrigger1) then {apc2 setVehicleAmmo 1};
};```Looks pretty bad, but functional. Let me suggest this:
if ("apc1" inArea rearmtrigger1) then {
apc1 setVehicleAmmo 1;
};
if ("apc2" inArea rearmtrigger1) then {
apc2 setVehicleAmmo 1;
};
Oh wait.
if (apc1 inArea rearmtrigger1) then {
apc1 setVehicleAmmo 1;
};
if (apc2 inArea rearmtrigger1) then {
apc2 setVehicleAmmo 1;
};
They have to not be strings.
inland drift
aah right
peak plover
private _nil = {
if (_x inArea rearmtrigger1) then {
_x setVehicleAmmo 1;
};
false
} count [apc1,apc2];
woah
working on an addaction for a supply vehicle that will rearm two possible apcs within a certain area of it
peak plover
Does it count https://i.imgur.com/ZGusQiU.jpg
halcyon crypt
@little eagle what's wrong with @peak plover's example (besides using count instead of forEach and calling the var _nil)?
or rather, setting a var at all
little eagle
"Besides"?
peak plover
Using private _anything is faster than not using private. Don't want any random values floating around and _nil is cool name
Also count is faster than forEach
halcyon crypt
yes like 0.00000000001 ms
count doesn't imply side effects while forEach does
anyway
preferences
peak plover
yeah D:
halcyon crypt
just wonder why doing a count/forEach over a set of objects is "worse" than doing it with 2 blocks which do exactly the same thing
peak plover
even better would be make a function and call it from the addaction
And have a variable as a acceptable vehicles
tough abyss
why does that need to be fast anyway?
little eagle
It doesn't.
But this is a game now:
0 = {_x setVehicleAmmo 1} count (list rearmtrigger1 arrayIntersect [apc1, apc2]);
i mean its in a freakin addaction that might be executed once or twice in a mission for two vehicles
inland drift
oh god

BI Wiki
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/playableUnits
States that playableUnits either occupied by AI or Players will be in the list. Though in th editor in multiplayer or singleplayer mode only my playable character is being returned.
winter rose
there is a difference between SP and MP, see the notes - use switchableUnits instead
and if (isMultiplayer) then (…)
simple solstice
Is something up with HandleDamage EH?
It always returns body for hitSelection
and 11 for hitPartIndex
No matter if I shoot the init in the leg, arm, head or body..
winter rose
did you systemChat to log all the returns?
simple solstice
omg
i systemChat all the others but not _part 🤦
but I can't seem to understand, why the unit shot in the hand, gets damage on other parts. kind of screws up my idea on counting how many bullets the unit took
astral tendon
guys, port a mission to MP or SP works in the same way for workshop?
subtle ore
There must be something wrong with your unit, or a script is causing conflicts. Tested a handle damage eh and it worked just fine
@Katekarin#0291
@astral tendon what?
astral tendon
you know that option we have to export to SP/MP?
works in the same way to the workshop?
subtle ore
What?!?! You have a giant steam button for uploading to the workshop
astral tendon
yes, does that means my mission will work in SP and MP afther i press that giant steam button?
astral tendon
whilst exporting?
astral tendon
i dont undestand, the AI behave diferent in the multiplayer but in the editor works fine
lets say, there is a convoy, the leader turn right but the second guy turn left and the last guy turn backwards and all became a mess
waxen tide
@astral tendon AI is legendarily bad, so don't expect consistent behavior. Just because something worked once, does not mean it will always work.
astral tendon
in this case, it never works in MP
simple solstice
@subtle ore vanilla A3.. only CBA loaded.
But do you refer to the unit taking multiple hits from one shot, or only showing "body"? Which was resolved by me using systemChat to list all of the handlers
subtle ore
@simple solstice which var are you returning that only returns body as a hitpoint?
simple solstice
@subtle ore it's no longer an issue. the "issue" I'm having RN is that it returns multiple values, even if unit is clearly shot in the head, feet or an hand
do I need to filter out very low value damages? so I can count the bullets an unit got shot with
or should I use HitPart for counting and saving the bullets taken
subtle ore
what does index return? Otherwise i would say yeah
frail zephyr
@astral tendon read the Wiki entry.... "There is also an advanced setting that controls if unit can activate (wake-up) dynamically disabled entities. The option is located in unit's Attributes menu >> Object: Special States section."
simple solstice
@subtle ore yeah to which one? 😄
frail zephyr
It means that unit can cause dynamic sim to be activated for other units; took me 2 seconds to google...
astral tendon
that also means is good or bad?
subtle ore
Not sure, i will be at my pc soon. Hopefully you find an answer soon @simple solstice
frail zephyr
It means nothing... it depends on whether you want that unit to wake up other dynamically simulated units or not.
astral tendon
so turning it off makes no diference?
frail zephyr
"Controls if the unit can activate dynamically disabled units (default: checked). When unchecked dynamically simulated entities will completely ignore presence of the unit and will remain disabled even if unit is in their activation distance. If checked on player, player will wake-up any entity if in it's activation distance. If checked on non-player unit, the unit will wake-up enemy units (on foot and in vehicles)."
Read the wiki
It definetely makes a difference; depending on what you want to achieve.
It wouldn't be an option if it made no difference
astral tendon
what kind of diference?
frail zephyr
Dude... read the wiki... I quoted what difference it makes...
If you don't understand Dynamic Simulation... read the wiki
Something running under Dynamic Sim wont be simulated unless you are close enough
Wake Up means that a Non-Player unit can wake up enemies that are close enough and are dynamically simulated
simple solstice
@astral tendon pretty much every question you're asking here is answered on the wiki, and people are quoting the wiki over and over for yuo
frail zephyr
again, there is no good or bad, its a design choice for your mission
simple solstice
everytime I read your questions its already propably answered in the wiki
frail zephyr

astral tendon
because, if i turn this on, the AI will not move
tough abyss
trying to put the vehicle respawn module to good use but 80% of the time, the vehicles explode when respawning. Sometimes even cause nearby ( 5 meters away ) to explode too because (by the looks of it) the respawning vehicle gets placed on their position and then moved to its originial position. any code in the execution entry that can prevent this?
frail zephyr
Did you read what Dynamic Sim does!? @astral tendon .... I'm done trying to explain it. Read the wiki.
little eagle
Tried
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/respawnVehicle
?
It feels to me to be superior to the module...
tough abyss
for the new vehicle
tough abyss
doesn't allow for abandoned distance to be implemented too, by the looks of it. Is there a different function for that?
I know AhoyWorld has a pretty one that that disables its physics during the respawn but I rather not use a 3rd party script in this one
frail zephyr
How does abandonded distance work in the module version? I'm sure you could whip something up that replicates it
scenic shard
if no player is within the distance they simply respawn it using the selected settings
frail zephyr
Yeah that doesn't seem too difficult to implement; might be an approach to take if nothing else works out for ya.
I say that now but then there are all the edge cases
scenic shard
btw, im playing around with BIS_fnc_UnitCapture but I cant seem to get it to work properly. I have used it fine in the past but now it won't detect when i press ESC to stop recording or F1 to save it to clipboard. It records fine, just won't detect my input =/
tough abyss
@simple solstice yea for some reason it still explodes. sqf _this select 0 allowDamage false; sleep 5; _this select 0 allowDamage true;
(using the respawn vehicle module)
frail zephyr
The only thing I can think of would be that you aren't selecting the right object to not allow damage on? I don't know the respawn module, always do it manually.
tough abyss
[<new_veh>,<old_veh>] are the passed arguments for the code
(according to the module itself)
scenic shard
_this select 0 is correct, used it earlier today fine
never had this issue with the module, do they explode at the start of the mission or randomly when respawning?
tough abyss
I was testing the respawn, placed an AT mine with zeus near it, detonated it (4 helicopters explode). One respawns completely fine, the other three become stuck in an endless loop of exploding and respawning
scenic shard
ok, so you did not move them from the respawn position?
tough abyss
nope
astral tendon
some times when i turn of and on my PC the mod selection from my arma 3 launcher resets
tough abyss
what looks from the fireball is that the respawn module doesn't place it back correctly, more like to the respawn of another vehicle and thus both explode before the module moving the respawned vehicle back to its initial spawn position
scenic shard
try to use "delete" instead of "delete with explosion effect" as Wreck setting, if you use that now. otherwise you could add a small delay to the respawn and a on kill eventhandler that removes the old wreck a few sec before the respawn
astral tendon
is there a way to save the selection?
tough abyss
it's already set with 'delete'
@astral tendon it literally says 'presets' with save/load/delete options on the top right.
how would this delay be implemented?
cause I am using this warFX mod that shows a clear fireball
and I can see the fireball moving from the position of another vehicle to the position of the initial position of the respawned vehicle
scenic shard
its in the module settings
astral tendon
fak, i though that was for the sethings and not the mods
scenic shard
ah, and the wreck lives for the same time?
tough abyss
the problem to me seems that the initial placement of the vehicle after respawn is the same as that of another vehicle and thus both explode
wreck lives a bit shorter
scenic shard
do you use respawn position modules or "starting position"?
tough abyss
starting position
scenic shard
odd, should not use another one's position then
tough abyss
well either it uses another vehicle's respawn position or the first placement of the vehicle after a respawn collides with the position of a vehicle that happens to be on that position. Both explodes, but the respawned vehicle gets moved to its init position 0.2 seconds after
resulting in two fireballs, and one of them switching from one position to another
it's literally only the helicopters doing it. I had 6 trucks less than a meter from eachother respawn all at the same time and they were perfectly fine
scenic shard
might be an issue with the helis then =/
tough abyss
alright thanks!
little eagle
BE whitelist?
Doesn't it block all SQF command by default or something like that. I never used it much myself.
rotund cypress
@vernal rune I have it myself, in my debug console I made, I remoteExec a function with compile in it, it blocks it.
I've tried to ask both here, Dwarden, other BIMINIONS, no one has a clue.
cloud thunder
@tough abyss are you using one module per vehicle or multiple vehicles linked to one module?
little eagle
Dumb parachutes are now teaching me the Lambert W function.
rotund cypress
@vernal rune you can suspend in a scheduled environment....
Spawn is for creating a new thread, its not a control structure like while or a command like sleep...
Obviously you cant
But just put a oef and check that instead
Much better than a new thread anyways
On each frame
queen cargo
...
rotund cypress
Then check if a conditions is met
queen cargo
not that discussion again
spawn bad bla
onEachFrame better bla
you do know that msot shit done in onEachFrame is what ppl mean when bad scripted mission is talked about?
because they clutter stuff that is scheduled?
onEachFrame has direct relation with framerate
continue using it as much as possible
maybe someday you archive 2 frames
rotund cypress
Not true @queen cargo
Its your only options if you are calling it
Even better using oef if function is used a lot
queen cargo
call != auto-unsuspended
as long as you are in a suspended environment, you can sleep
rotund cypress
Well it is if you are not calling it from a already scheduled thread
queen cargo
it is not
that is the whole point @rotund cypress
call is doing nothing but pushing a new scope and accessing the code block in there
- putting input vars into _this
cloud thunder
^
queen cargo
give it a callback @vernal rune
rotund cypress
@queen cargo as long as you know what you are doing, there is nothing that says oef will issue bad framerate
If you stay under a certain execution time you will be fine
queen cargo
@rotund cypress oef will always affect framerate as engine will wait for it to finish execution
rotund cypress
’’’If you stay under a certain execution time you will be fine’’’
queen cargo
code then looks something like this then:
[<ARGS>, {<continueWithCode>}] call My_fnc_target;
’’’If you stay under a certain execution time you still affect framerate’’’
little eagle
Please do that, before people keep talking about dumb unrelated shit.
rotund cypress
Sounds like a bad way of doing it
Let server set the var on client
No need to make a function
Then you can also use pvar evh
Pvar evh
Public Variable Eventhandler
Eh?
Lol?

alternative variant:
X39_fnc_continueWith = {

IM sure you can make something better @vernal rune
Too bad there is no kappa emoji on here

Maybe if you would be a bit better coder, you could've made a dialog without any of these tools @vernal rune

Sorry, if you would be a coder.

Starting in controls[] = { } class declaration.
etc.
then the other UI elements are embedded in those.
The top class name is whatever you define first.
UI ressembles OOP. Having base-classes and child classes.
rotund cypress
I make most dialogs from code
cloud thunder
DucO you've provided no code only pseudo example. even if you wanted to keep your actual code you could rewite code to server as example and maybe get more constrivite applicable answers but it all speculative at this point so its pointless no .

I have a hard time believing you can do any code @vernal rune

Code is my sexual partner
rotund cypress
No objects, just classes, no? @queen cargo
cloud thunder
i hope , can't keep up with the chicken coop banter
tough abyss
Well technically if you want to look at it from a programmers perspective, ArmA 3 SQF isn't really "code"
empty blade
script
tough abyss
It's script, clear difference.
queen cargo
@rotund cypress more or less ... the : is actually just a sort of lookup
that then checks until it hits root
tough abyss
Python is script, yet python is actual programming language but 🤷
cloud thunder
X39 has publicy released some code on various places. I think I used a bit of it in BMR Insurgency... it is good..
little eagle
Yes, but you can't compare that to the great Duc0 and his secret super code.
queen cargo
😄
queen cargo
@rotund cypress and what happens in reality? config parser just looks in the upper classes
rotund cypress
Of course, but I wouldn't say its any OOP?
rotund cypress
config is barely OOP based in my eyes, barely would point to "a bit" or "parts of"
Which in reality is entirely false
As there is no instances or any objects at all
Just classes
rotund cypress
And ye, these configs are just cheesy
tough abyss
There is both child and base classes
queen cargo

But beyond that no they don't have anything else.

@rotund cypress those configs are just not throught to end through ... https://github.com/X39/dotX39/blob/master/dotX39_cpp/example.x39 was my fun-project when i got bored and needed some way to read data
UI ressembles OOP. Having base-classes and child classes. @tough abyss wrote this and i just responded @rotund cypress
first thought you talked about something else
and that was the whole point @vernal rune we all cannot know and work with what you provide us
give is more and we can tell you how to adjust to make it work
little eagle
You make me agree with X39!!
queen cargo
and me with commy ...
and that is no stable state in this channel
that is actually a toxic state
little eagle
Its a simple concept ok
You'd think.
queen cargo
and we told you how that "simple" concept can be solved in SQF
tough abyss
Programmers need to communicate...
First thing C# book started teaching
Programmers are "good communicators"
queen cargo
first lecture in my book would be you know nothing, ever
so you go one scope higher and apply a continueWith pattern there
thats why i posted you a continueWith method at all
so that you can take it, and put it where it is needed
cloud thunder
to pseudo again for me.
queen cargo
@cloud thunder problem is:
...
[] call {
...
[] call {
//Our actual problematic scope and reason we talk
_x = <solution>
_x
};
};
...```@vernal rune: Yeah @X39 You actually have some respectable code Ill give you that, but im still not saying you have a clue what im on about
I am sure you are the one person to be able to judge if someone has "respectable code", with your amount of competence.
cloud thunder
but you can do call withinin call. I think i;ve done that..
Um really don't want to see it at all anymore.. I told you rewrite it so you could get constructive response ..
queen cargo
@vernal rune yes ... we all in this channel just want to steal code
i personally already took @little eagle code snippet and put it somewhere in my code so that i got more lines
rotund cypress
When you have the same amount of coding hours as X39 @vernal rune, you can come back and say things...
When people are trying to help you, don't give them crap and say they don't have a clue what they're on about, just because you do not like the answer.

Well one would, when i've spent like an hour explaining the same problem and you responding with the same thing still thinking its right when ive said that it isnt
you got solutions that work for what you explained
and yet have to explain why
and do not start again with CUZ NO WORK
little eagle
The posted solutions work just fine.
If you say they don't, then it shows that you don't understand them. Nothing more.
queen cargo
i know
it is called: artistic freedom
Tipp for you @vernal rune
either start providing proper code so that we can explain, as your communication skills suck so bad that i would want them to pay me for letting it suck me off
or stop right here
🤦🤦🤦🤦
little eagle
queen cargo
maybe we approach this from the wrong side ...
see ...
we do not have any knowledge of your code
whole situation you explained is this
...
_res = [] call magic;

that is all
we showed you how you can solve this

and you just said THAT SOLUTION IS NOT WORKING
and showed of your example again

Yes. The = is wrong and so is the ;

No
rotund cypress
There is no constants in ArmA @queen cargo

Or am I wrong?
tough abyss
Don't even need the ; ?

Nope, the ; breaks it
rotund cypress
#define h 10
tough abyss

rotund cypress
Constant in C/C++ ^
rotund cypress
Sorry, look now @queen cargo
tough abyss
No more horrendous names :D
#define NUMBER_OF_IEDS_TO_CREATE 30 //Number of IEDs on map
#define DETONATE_IED_WITH_WEAPONS true //Can the IED be killed with weapons?
#define DEBUG_MARKERS true //Show IED markers on map?
^
rotund cypress
Thats not a real constant ^^
tough abyss
I think you can use #define in C
rotund cypress
You can
tough abyss
Yep.
rotund cypress
const int a = 1; is not really a REAL constant
tough abyss
ArmA 3's screwed like that.
ForEach, (PHP / C#) , #define from C
#include from C++ / C
queen cargo
that is a constant in ANSI C
tough abyss
What a frigging mess.
queen cargo
no
that is a define (or macro)
little eagle
Shh, someone wants help.
scenic shard
So this is bad?
#define NUMBER_OF_IEDS_TO_CREATE 30;
yes, too many IEDs 😦
rotund cypress
It's a define, but still a constant @queen cargo
little eagle
It was a joke.
tough abyss
Crappy function is crappy
iedAct = {
_iedObj = _this select 0;
if (mineActive _iedObj) then {
_iedBlast = selectRandom iedBlast;
createVehicle [_iedBlast,(getPosATL _iedObj),[],0,""];
createVehicle ["Crater",(getPosATL _iedObj),[],0,""];
{
deleteVehicle _x;
} forEach nearestObjects [ getPosATL _iedObj, iedJunk, 4];
deleteVehicle _iedObj;
};
};
Re-write it.
queen cargo
@rotund cypress after the preproc is done, it gets passed to the actual compiler which then takes the VALUE from the define
real constants need to be language based
not preprocessor based
rotund cypress
Sorry, but I didn't quite understand what you said there @queen cargo
rotund cypress
I was not talking about SQF so you know
tough abyss
or && instead of and ?
queen cargo
preprocessor is a separate level of the chain
constants need to be known at compile time
preprocessor will just replace text with whatever you defined
-->
#define foo 2
foo call fnc_bar```
gets
```sqf
2 call fnc_bar```^
rotund cypress
Ye exactly
tough abyss
It's for convience.
rotund cypress
But that is not the case in C/C++, no?
queen cargo
it is even more clear in c/c++
rotund cypress
I mean in C/C++ they are not preproc
rotund cypress
Hmm, let me read
queen cargo
preprocessor is a separate level of the toolchain
you could code c/c++ and sqf too without it completly
but it would not make things easier
rotund cypress
I see, alright
queen cargo
difference gets more clear in languages that do have preprocessors but no way of defining macros
eg. c#
you can add defines as flags but to create a constant, you need to use language tools
the compiler then still does just what the preproc does too
but it is the level in the toolochain that differs
rotund cypress
Alright, but all I can say is, that from what I have learnt with C, is that using const does not give you a real real constant

Why do I get the feeling processing this IED list first would be faster and more efficient.
Generates the random IEDs and junk first then places them.

Every string can only be 1e7 chars long or something like this.
With format it's like 8000 chars

buildList = [];
for "_k" from 1 to NUMBER_OF_IEDS_TO_CREATE do {
buildList pushBack [(selectRandom iedJunk),(selectRandom iedList),selectRandom(iedBlast)];

OK?
I found out how to massively improve this IED script
Nested arrays then using (_x select 0 <-> 2) to pull the data out.
@queen cargo ?
queen cargo
mhh?
tough abyss
Is that better ?
The code I placed above?
It eliminated multiple calls to selectRandom
Pre-compute the results then just feed them into the code using _x select 0 etc/
queen cargo
did not saw what it was before
but it is a start
or more: it is ok
looks good
and besides the selectRandom it even is executable in sqf-vm of mine ❤
rose hatch
Is there a way to prevent the weight of pylon weapons from affecting helicopter flight performance?
Only thing I can think of is using a negative setCustomWeightRTD value inside of a weapon fired eventHandler i.e. adjust the vehicle weight each time a pylon weapon is fired.
But that doesn't sound like it would be kind to performance...
Simply setting the weight once won't work because after all weapons are fired the vehicle will weight way less than it should when empty...
cloud thunder
pylon weapons don't have weight that affects flight performance.
rose hatch
Helicopters do, at least they do with the AFM
Load two bombs on a pawnee and it'll barely take off
^Not that I plan to load bombs, but rather just disable weapon weight in general because why not
cloud thunder
oh maybe helis donn't know for sure but deff not fixed wing and bis announced they probably are not going to make it a thing. Is that with or without AFM Nutter?
rose hatch
Pylon weapon weight affects flight performance when using AFM
Haven't tested without AFM, but I think it still does...
cloud thunder
k makes sence. Your original solution doesn't sound like it would be performance heavy..

Explain to me why randRoadObj constantly comes back saying variable is undefined?
Maybe I should wrap it into a function.
Ehhh yeah why not.
It would make it more usable.

I'd not make it a function till at all works. Maybe nearroads is returning empty array if it can't find a road so count if nearroad array is > 0 then select road and do rest of code. Why private "" empty string?

Found the issue with the code.

a null return from the nearRoads code.

queen cargo
the way you build the code, it gets very hard to debug
instead of working like you do it right there, try to first get all data and then just process it
eg. create an array [<markername>, <iedarea>, <iedRoads>, ...] and then use that
using params you then can put each element into a variable
queen cargo
that array in the endoutput then is WAY easier to debug
tough abyss
This is still a prototype.

will give you more relations

lots of code to debug. but yeah for starters these are undefined iedList iedMarkers and still not findroads function there.
queen cargo
just overwhelming many commands
could be reduced if you only use the create commands
not rly matches minified example tbh 😄
tough abyss
ohh
Didn't know you could do that with params
Thats so much better than _x select 0;
Whats the purpose of max ?
queen cargo
another mistake you made btw. _iedBomb setPosATL(getPosATL _randRoadObj select 2 + 1);
needs to be _iedBomb setPosATL((getPosATL _randRoadObj select 2) + 1);
unless you want the 4th element
though ... that whole line is crap ...
tough abyss
What should I do instead?
tough abyss
This was that Phronk guys code.
I've had to rebuild it from the ground up.
Getting very close to scrapping most of it.
queen cargo
better do that
tough abyss
Doesn't create mine make the IED live anyway?
queen cargo
a wonder it is working at all
getPosATL _iedBomb select 2 + 1 literaly means getPosATL _iedBomb select (2 + 1)
tough abyss
_trig setTriggerStatements [
"{
vehicle _x in thisList && speed vehicle _x>4
} count playableUnits > 0",
"
{
if ((typeOf _x)in iedAmmo) then {
[_x] call iedAct;
};
} forEach nearestObjects[thisTrigger,[],10];",
"deleteVehicle thisTrigger"];
} else {
_trig setTriggerStatements [
"{

"{

[_x] call iedAct;
};
} forEach nearestObjects[thisTrigger,[],10];",
"deleteVehicle thisTrigger"];
};
Is what he was using to set them off.
As I said doesn't createMine OBJ make it live?
queen cargo
depends on the object
tough abyss
Trigger isn't necessary.
queen cargo
some wont explode on proximity
queen cargo
thats always boom for any of em

use that
should work better already

So what I need is a way to detect a player.
buildList = {
_x params ["", "", "_eachMarker"];

_x pushBack _pos;

It's an array and function
that won't work?

mhh?

y 🙈 youre right @robust hollow
tough abyss
Yeah he is.
cloud thunder
yeah buildlist was code not array
queen cargo
will got my first SQF script somewhere ... it was horrible but the IEDs worked
could send it to ya ... but you would not get happy with it
tough abyss
Interesting question are recursive arma 3 solutions better or worse than iterative?
tame portal
You can't run into stack overflows though lol
queen cargo
scope overflow 😄
tame portal
game just crashes 💥
queen cargo
it is what every program would do too
cloud thunder
Blow your computer up, ultimate IED script.
queen cargo
real recursion: create ArmA in SQF
cloud thunder
lol\

@signal peak help__ <STRING>
leaving this here
tame portal
Wait how do I tag him
queen cargo
@signal peak
tame portal
@signal peak Test
queen cargo
wont respond though
tame portal
Oh
tame portal
How does it work atm, you just send that bot private messages?
queen cargo
either via my server
or ... well ... yes
pns
mention
or code blocks with sqf syntax highlighting in channels starting with sqf
in PN he will interpret everything as code
tough abyss
Yeah @queen cargo It locked up in non-scheduled...
queen cargo
mhh?
tough abyss
Locked up arma 3
queen cargo
if you never exit
yes
non-scheduled always affects FPS
as i said
that also means: you can lock your arma if you do wrong
@tame portal i responded (in case you did not read)
tame portal
ah yeah i did
tough abyss
What did I do wrong in that code?
tame portal
@tough abyss Can you post the snippet again
queen cargo
you did not posted code @tough abyss
queen cargo
clyde bot?
tame portal
Oh I think thats more of a Discord bug
tough abyss
I take it this code ```SQF
buildList apply {
_x params ["", "", "_eachMarker"];
private _pos = getMarkerPos _eachMarker;
_x pushBack _pos;
private _range = (_pos select 0) max (_pos select 1);
private _roads = _pos nearRoads _range;
_x pushBack _roads;
};
Goes inside the get_roads function?
tame portal
I don't think you are using apply correctly
tough abyss
Blame @queen cargo
queen cargo
yes
was my mistake
