ok just for the records, i do have one and that triggers when i spress shift + -, and it does what it does and returns true.

no longer possible though as infinites are no longer considered numbers

@tough abyss Actually as you are serverside. You can theoretically get nanosecond precision by using Intercept

Oh hell I would so much prefer c++ thanks for remind me of it existing

@little eagle Regarding my original question, why does it crash though?
It can find the files most of the time, but on some machines it just straight up kills the server the moment the mission is being loaded, so I guess it's not able to find the files that are meant to be included
little eagle
Sorry I forgot what your question was.
still forum
I also fail to find it
"What's the deal again with including game files from the missionfile? I must have forgotten what the issue is with it again..."
"Randomly results in crashes while on other machines it works fine, strange to me"
little eagle
Including an addon scope file in the description.ext ?
still forum
If the file is not there. Then crash.
Also you cannot #include from addons in missions that are loaded from folder instead of from pbo.. I think.. right?
little eagle
Yes, has been broken since 3den exists.
Only applies to the dedicated server though when you log in as admin and pick it on the mission select screen or something like that.

I've been told that we shouldn't script with 'player' in dedicated servers
still forum
it won't work if you script runs serverside.
And if Zeus is controlling a unit then player will point to the Zeus unit. Not the unit the Zeus is remote controlling
tough abyss
because everyone is a player in a dedicated server, but I guess that because I use an addAction it's making it dedicated to the specific player
still forum
yes.. everyone is a player. But on clientside there is only ever one player
player always points to yourself

right, I will try it. Thanks!
it says in the wiki that if I want the unit to leave the group I should use grpNull instead of player group

Random Q: is there a way to enable chat in SP?
little eagle
No.
tough abyss
Ok, thanks π
astral tendon
never noticed the chat was disabled in SP
little eagle
ctrl+F and F3, nigel
Chat is disabled in SP and so is respawning. And there is no way to get them to work. Well I guess you can try to recreate both features with a lot of scripting.
little eagle
I get why you'd want respawning in SP. And I can see how you could emulate it. But why would you need a chat?!
cunning nebula
if you want units to communicate via text, you could use drawIcon3D for it
atleast for regular communication, it may not be suitable for radio comms ^^
little eagle
Oh, systemChat works fine in SP. And so do the other commands I think. But you can't type anything yourself.

Trying to execute simple script from addAction on an object. Works in editor, won't work on dedicated server. Here's what I have:

What am I doing wrong?
rancid ruin
what do you mean by "won't work"?

probably a problem in somescript.sqf then

can anyone confirm what Waffle SS. posted there ?
that agents cost more resources than regular AI ? I kinda doubt it.
still forum
AI also see walls.. Otherwise they would just shoot through them.. Waffle's comment seems to say that AI completly ignores obstacles
Animal AI is also FSM. And Animals are Agents
But a Agent without FSM will just stand around and do nothing.
Wth a compilcated FSM attached they are ofcause worse on Performance than normal AI's
cunning nebula
the animal behaviour can be disabled via variable though
im not sure if I should use agents as civilians or just civilians with most their AI routines turned off (including FSM)
yeh, also saves me the trouble of having to manage groups
then again, maybe agents are too limited
that is, if I ever need a civ to reach for his gun

@deft owl local variables don't carry over into spawned scripts..
local varaibles (start with _) only exist in the current script. And get deleted when the script ends.
Spawn spawns a new script that might run when the current script has already ended.

you have to pass the caller as argument.

It's like saying you don't know how to walk because you didn't read the source code of your brain and legs

My point was that with immutable values you can't tell if the VM implementation is using values or references.
You might happen to know, because you wrote the VM or have the source, but you can't write a script that would detect one or the other.
And since the person originally asking the question presumably doesn't care about hidden implementation details I mentioned the above.
still forum
you can't via script. correct.
But with Intercept you can read the memory adress of the values
So if you pass a string and the passed value has the same adress as the original.. and the refcount was incremented by 1. Then you know it was now copied
He asked "by reference or by copy" I answered the truth. And then you told me "No! You can't know that!"
Also Whale specifically asked about the hidden implementation detail. He asked what the engine does.

Still wonder whats the source of this Bad conversion: bool

Just do
"1" configClasses configFile
"Code block" (string) reports something that is not a boolean.

Bad conversion happens when engine get's a value of different type and calls the getType method.
If it is not convertible a default value will be returned and Bad conversion will be logged.
So if you call getBool on a Number... ERROR.
Although they could've just builtin that numbers automatically convert but... Β―_(γ)_/Β―

@tough abyss read wiki. Two different functions doing two different things. In your case you really only need forEach.. Or count (For that one see code performance guide on wiki)

What is the difference between select and forEach ?
- one is CODE command ARRAY, the other is ARRAY command CODE
- one expects a boolean return value, the other doesn't
- one reports an array, the other the last return value of the code block
- one has _forEachIndex, the other doesn't
That's all I can think of.

so select is hacky version of forEach really?

count is hacky version of foreach

timber ridge
that's the way I understand it.
cedar kindle
select an element > filter out the rest when weβre talking about the CODE variant
dusk sage
Or, its original usage, array[x]
little eagle
Well, select NUMBER/BOOL is a totally different command from select CODE
cedar kindle
thatβs array select number not code
dusk sage
He asked What is the difference between select and forEach ?
little eagle
They just share a name.
True, select CODE assumed. The others are really different.
tough abyss
( "getNumber( _x >> 'scope' ) isEqualTo 2" configClasses _x) select {
false;
};
} forEach [
( configFile >> "CfgWeapons" ),
( configFile >> "CfgMagazines" ),
( configFile >> "CfgVehicles" ),
( configFile >> "CfgGlasses" )
];
That's pointless.

That code is useless

no it's not

select false π

Where did I post that?
cedar kindle
select {false} will always return an empty array

Have you started over already?

I just... wtf?

( "getNumber( _x >> 'scope' ) isEqualTo 2" configClasses _x) select {
Thats a piece of your code.
"fixed"
still forum
yes
tough abyss
Thats what I said..
dusk sage
He said config classes needs to return a bool, not the select
timber ridge
guys, can you take this to a more personal level than here?? maybe PMs?
dusk sage
Which you seem to have added
tough abyss
no select with an expression has to return a bool.
little eagle
I don't even know what this code is trying to do anymore.
tough abyss
or nil

You put one line of my code into your otherwise completly different code.. And said it was my code?
timber ridge
this entire chat is now flooded over some stupid discussions about 50 lines of code....
dusk sage
no select with an expression has to return a bool.
Naturally, but that was not what he said
still forum
Look at my code again @tough abyss
dusk sage
You just learned that the configClasses code needs to return a bool
still forum
I literally just moved the code from the string on configClasses into the CODE of select

@little eagle maybe we need a new channel, like #arma3_scriptingDebates?

This IS the debates channel.

lol ^^

@timber ridge #PopcornTime would be the name
tough abyss
Why can't I just get a straight answer.

And fixed the other error that you didn't want to fix although being told to several times
cedar kindle
thereβs really no better way to explain ARRAY select CODE. the code part has to return true or false. the elements where it returns true will be in the result, the rest will not
cunning nebula
ego select {false};
this makes communication much easier π
still forum
You have to ask a question to get a answer
little eagle
Why can't I just get a straight answer.
What question?!
dusk sage
@timber ridge Read the channel description, it says, 'don't chat about script'
little eagle
The description of this channel uses == true. It can be discarded.

dusk sage
Exactly 'don't chat about script' π
tough abyss
I post his code back to him, ugh... all I said was how select behaved in comparison to forEach thats it. Then @still forum just has to argue about whats true or false. ffs.
timber ridge
what @tough abyss is trying to say, is, in short, "fuk ur code, i'm doing it my way"
queen cargo
Actually it would be a script error so this channel is error by default
still forum
@tough abyss You posted a pointless piece of code that contained one line of my code.
That's not the same as posting my code
little eagle
Only macros can save us
#define true 1
little eagle
#define true (random 2 > 1)
cunning nebula
π° you killed true !

#define 0 1

#include <stdbool.h>

@tough abyss Now.. If you have a question. Ask it.
Stop ignoring answers.
If you want help with your code. Stop ignoring advice and instructions on how to fix it
