@tough abyss What is your goal
tough abyss
Generate IEDs on roadways across the entire map
tame portal
go through all your markers and randomly create ieds on those roads?
tough abyss
Yes
cloud thunder
debug i think, yeah no need for unscheduled.
tough abyss
Well currently the implementation is using square markers...
This is that Phronk guys code.
It's fucked.
tough abyss
Maybe I should scrap the marker system too.
But that is going to generate one big frigging array.
It already generates a massive array.
2124 elements to be exact.
Might have to divide it into smaller pieces.
Wait.

UI Dialog approach, is prob the best method. Since BE will randomly block extensions at tmes
If the string is just for another mission, consider using profilename to save a variable.

the string is the (persistent part of the) mission. ๐

Slap your code between the if statement brackets
Put that in a script or spawn it
Then to take a step further, convert it to a function. Return the alive units and call the function
astral tendon
if ((!alive driver testcar) AND (!alive gunner testcar)) then (testcar setDamage 1)
this one works for me
but thanks for the help Midnight
frail zephyr
{alive _x} count crew vehicle == 0
something like that would be easier
Your version will never take into account more than the driver and gunner
astral tendon
is supouse to be like this: {alive _x} count crew testcar == 0
?
it only give me false
thick sage
btw, @still forum and @subtle ore, the dialog trick works as long as the string does not contain \r\n
still forum
wtf ๐
astral tendon
either if i change to !alive
thick sage
specifically, if you Ctrl+C from a C_EDIT that contains \r\n, it copies correctly. But if you Ctrl+V it back and ctrlText it, the \r\n are converted to spaces.

if ({!alive _x} count crew testcar == 0) then {testcar setDamage 1}

now this one works

But still. This means that the car explodes when there's no crew inside. Idk if that is what is needed.

Shoot the driver through the glass, boom!

i need this because some vehicles when the driver dies the car still runs

Now the IEDs initiallize correctly now.
Works pretty well now.
Now the triggers won't fire.
And I am not sure why.
cloud thunder
is revealMine JIP and does it continue to reavel to AI units spawned after command used if ran on server?
tough abyss
Well this code is run from the init.sqf
via execVM
So enclose it in the if (isServer) then {} ?
_trig setTriggerStatements [
"{
vehicle _x in thisList && speed vehicle _x > 4;
} count playableUnits > 0",
"
{
systemChat format ['_x is _iedTypes %1',_x];
if (_x in _iedTypes) then {
[_x] call tag_detonateIED;
};
} forEach nearestObjects [thisTrigger,[],10];",
"deleteVehicle thisTrigger"];
what, oh your IED script? I'm not talking about that. I've done my own IED script almost done..
tough abyss
Does putting spaces between code make a trigger stop working?
cloud thunder
shouldn't
tough abyss
So what would be preventing the trigger from firing?
cloud thunder
where is trigger local to?
cloud thunder
depends what your aiming for really. systemChat is local to the machine that executed it
tough abyss
This is currently running on a "listen server"
cloud thunder
thats a local hosted server right? server is on same machine as your player?
cloud thunder
trigger can be on server but things like sytemchat need to be remote executed if intended to work in MP.
cloud thunder
either way will work. youll need to make funtions and or eventhandlers on the respective machines. Good to have anyway if you inteand to make missions as this command is commoly used in MP
tough abyss
So I can do either way?
Okay.
initPlayerLocal.sqf
or initPlayerServer.sqf
or if (isServer) then {} etc?
from init.sqf ?
@cloud thunder For your script did you decide to use triggers too?
Can local variables be used in a trigger?
Also what is the syntax for triggers?
The string part I can't work out.
cloud thunder
yes, i did use triggers on server. for the statements Local vars can only be used when created in the statements.
tough abyss
"{
vehicle _x in thisList && speed vehicle _x > 4;
} count playableUnits > 0;"
Is that valid in a trigger?
cloud thunder
I believe so
tough abyss
Odd then why is this not firing....
cloud thunder
maybe remove ; after 4. Its not needed there
cloud thunder
its a condition. I'm using "{vehicle _x in thisList} count playableUnits > 0"
tough abyss
and I take it "hint 'Activated';" doesn't work either?
cloud thunder
in fact you should delete ; at end too
tough abyss
So what happens when you have multiple statements ?
How does the engine determine the beginning and end?
tough abyss
Give me an example of how to use multiple statements
I'll need this for later, it doesn't matter if I am on the server and client?
Does it?
From the "Host Button"
?
cloud thunder
_actCond="((RedHot <= Max_Act_Gzones) && {{vehicle _x in thisList && isplayer _x && ((getPosATL _x) select 2) < 10} count playableunits > 0})";
tough abyss
so right now I have this in the condition
this;
this in the onAct
"hint 'Activated'";
this in the onDeact
" hint 'Activated' " ;
?
What should be the min mid max value be if I want it to go from 1 second to 10 seconds?
queen cargo
rly should not be coding ... 4 commits for a blindly simple macro ...

probably not unless you are commiting code to something like github atm and you have a stalker.
cloud thunder
I don't know but I'm working on mine atm . you might want to use this one instead/

can you give me a TL;DR?

I didn't realise you don't put 'string'
around the EDEN versions

I use SelectBestPlaces
combined with "forest + medows + trees"
Hides them very well.
Makes the script very smart.
Near impossible to spot them
Makes every NEED a mine detector
Spot the IED:
Makes the guys in the missions to be very careful.
This is the initialization process @cloud thunder
I hate to kind of hack a solution around the 2D position returned.
Fortunately createVehicle uses getPosATL ?
So setting it to 0 snapped them to the ground.

@tough abyss i'm getting error on first line
tough abyss
Of which?
tough abyss
First line oh yeah the code hasn't been error hardened

running in debug console

It hits 89 and occasionally finds an unknown entry.
Because SelectBestPlaces returned a any any.
It's screwy like that.
Don't need this by the way.
We use ACE3

Appreciate your code.

Is probably one of the coolest A3 commands

It's good practice to set a variable to something if it's going to be PV'd
Even if it's some pointless value like true or false
robust hollow
what before you need it, isnt that what the default value in getvariable is for?
or does it broadcast faster after the first time or something?
tulip cloud
do both methods have a race condition? I'm confused on what exactly is causing the problem so I can identify now and in the future.
robust hollow
ur trying to use the variable before it has been broadcast. publicvariable isnt instant
tulip cloud
is missionNamespace the same issue?
robust hollow
missionNamespace setVariable ["tro","lolol",true];
its the same deal yea, not instant
tulip cloud
Is there a way to test the performance or something so I can add a sleep or something to avoid the problem? What is the best practice in this situation? (In my actual code I don't actually have them back to back like this.)
tough abyss
tro = true;
PublivVariable "tro";
is the same as
MissionNameSpace setVariable ["tro",true,true];
All global not public variables exist in GLOBAL variables any variable thats not prefixed with an underscore
GLOBAL = true;
_LOCAL = true;
I understand the variable scopes.
tough abyss
PV's must be initialized.
Otherwise you get wrong results.
tro = assign me a value
then missionNameSpace set it's variable and global it.
cunning nebula
or give it a default value when you fetch it
tulip cloud
What i best practice? putting variables into the missionNameSpace or setting a Global variable to Public?
robust hollow
its the same thing
cunning nebula
exactly
tulip cloud
Public variables are added to the missoinNameSpace and are handled the exact same way? Why make 2 ways to do the same thing?
cunning nebula
always good to do that
tough abyss
getVariable setVariable doesn't work with PVEH's
They're are linked to PV's being sent and recieved.
cunning nebula
because ArmA always has at least 2 different ways of doing stuff
tough abyss
PublicVariable will respond to a PVEH
setVariable will not.
Errr
Let me test that.
Not absolutely sure thats the case.
robust hollow
^ dis is correct
still forum
@tulip cloud
"What i best practice? putting variables into the missionNameSpace or setting a Global variable to Public?"
myGlobalVariable = count allPlayers;
publicVariable "myGlobalVariable";
and
missionNamespace setVariable ["tro","lolol"];
are both missionNamespace.
You can also use waitUntil till the variable is not nil anymore. If that's applicable for you
setVar with public flag or set var and publicVariable doesn't make a difference in the backend. It's just that one command does both things. and the other does them seperatly
tulip cloud
missionNameSpace is a lot cleaner looking I think I'll use that.
missionNameSpace setVariable ["tro",120,true]
tro = tro + 10;
client
missionNameSpace getVariable ["tro",true];
client receives: 130
still forum
seperatly ofcause being slower
no.. client definetly does not
a variable is only sent to other clients if you tell it to.
there are no "public variables" that self replicate

If you truly think arma is stopping then create a simple while sleep 5 diag_log "Ping"; and you'll know if it is trully stopping

I don't have the perfect solution . but I would do something like place the IED then have it check the terrain z height to the 4 corners of the object and calculate the slope and then calculate the right xyz angle for the object. Would slow down the generation process a bit but would do the job dirty.

no idea if that works, give it a try ^^
and it may need some adjustments
but it should add a 10% chance on any west soldier who dies to boobytrap his corpse with an attached apers mine
which (if i remember it correctly) should not trigger by walking over it when it is attached
so instead it gets triggered by looting him

why not give the skill to all players
it is only useful when they have a medikit anyway
so it doesnt really require a script I'd say

because i want all players to revive, but if you have a medic kit i want you to do faster
normal player will take a minute, medics 3 seconds
i have this condition
'Medikit' in (items player + assignedItems player)

so i'm assigning these three event handlers to a player consecutively

f_ehIndex_dynamicViewDistance_1 = player addEventHandler ['GetOutMan', 'f_eh_setViewDistance_onGetOut.sqf'];
f_ehIndex_dynamicViewDistance_2 = player addEventHandler ['SeatSwitchedMan', 'f_eh_setViewDistance_onSeatChange.sqf'];```
However, the handler ID for all of them is 0. is that supposed to happen? From what i understood from the wiki, each EH should get its own IDthey all do work, however
still forum
it is correct
each EH has it's own ID
The ID consists of type and the number
so you have GetInMan0 GetOutMan0 and SeatSwitchedMan0

EH's are ordered by when they were created
First one is always 0
then 1
then 2
and so on.

The ID consists of type and the number
Aha, interesting. When I querried f_ehIndex_dynamicViewDistance_0 etc they all returned 0, hence i got confused
thanks for clarifying that

You also have to provide the type of the EH when you remove it again. Arma has a seperate array for each type. Which is why you have multiple eventhandlers at index 0

getskill is not a command, however skill is a getter, but skillFinal will return closer to what actual skill is since it accounts for the coefficiant of difficulty settings. Don't know why people have been reporting skills broken since LoW, but from my tests its working as it should. Maybe the broken issue of skill setting might be by editor only wich I cannot comment on. Skill issued by scipt however are fine.
