just ask me $beingpolite
dusk sage
🤔 ?
little eagle
I'd rather have people be honest than polite.
cunning nebula
honesty is not directly related to politeness
tough abyss
@tough abyss The reason was there was too many problems with ArmA 3 hating instant weather changes
and there was no feasible way to simulate rate of change in a way that didn't cause frame-skipping.
cunning nebula
in other words: you dont have to be honest to be a dick
tough abyss
So it got written to the point of the A3 engine screwing me over a few times.
skipTime -24; skipTime 24; and all that hacky crap
little eagle
But you have to be not-honest to be polite.
cunning nebula
not necessarily
I can say "this and that is wrong" without saying "you suck because you did it wrong"
I could even say "most of it is pretty nice, but that one detail is wrong"
tough abyss
There is no answer to why use
select
try to work in a corporate env for some time, you'll get to know the workarounds of communication pretty quickly
tough abyss
The wiki has an example thats it.
little eagle
Nothing about GeekGuys code was pretty or nice.
little eagle
The one you posted then.
cunning nebula
the wiki tells you pretty exactly what the differences are I'd say
still forum
@tough abyss Already told you forEach would be better for what you are doing
tough abyss
all the nested selects don't make it pretty commy2
little eagle
This is also why optimization afterwards sucks. Double the work, if not more to replicate the same behaviour.
tough abyss
if !( ( _itemType select 1 ) isEqualTo "VehicleWeapon" ) then {};
I could make it so much easier by just moving that to 1 other line
and give it meaning.

No. We solved it 16 minutes ago

@still forum

looks better
But fnc_linkedItems now does something completly different from what it did before
before it pushed the items into an array using pushback. Now it only returns the items.
You still need to put them into the array they were pushed to originally
still forum
you can just use append for that now
Although....
No.. I don't think append works.. You have an array of configs now. You still need to run configName on them to get the classname
easiest way "(isText( _x >> 'Item' )" configClasses _this) apply {configName _x;}
little eagle
What's the point of line3?
little eagle
Same for 8
cunning nebula
what is a "Catagory" ?
little eagle
A category in a catalog.
cunning nebula
so a catagory is a catalag ?
little eagle
It is now.
tough abyss
is apply forEach?
little eagle
No, apply is apply and forEach is forEach.
little eagle
True. Both are loops.
little eagle
Both execute a code block for every array element and put that in _x.
little eagle
apply has a return value that is different from forEach.
tough abyss
Ah yeah that little detail
indigo snow
what would you think an apply syntax for forEach would look like?
tough abyss
Still why not just make forEach behave like apply?
cunning nebula
there are a lot of these and they're all a bit different
indigo snow
what if you dont want to modify the original array?
cunning nebula
just choose the one that fits best
tough abyss
forEach
little eagle
Still why not just make forEach behave like apply?
Because forEach already has a return value and you'd break old code.
tough abyss
Hmmm odd little bit triva that one.Return Value:
Anything - will return the value of last executed statement
little eagle
It's true.
still forum
And because different things serve different purposes.
Why not just use a Spork for everything?
icy raft
What is love? I can't find it anywhere but I know that the variable is there in global.
tough abyss
apply Array - resulting array
So 1 returns the array
one returns on the final element in an array
little eagle
private _return = {0} forEach [""];
_return // 0
@icy raft wut? Baby don't hurt me?
indigo snow
forEach does stuff with the elements of an array, apply makes changes to the elements in the array itself
tough abyss
So fashing forEach into apply would involve a lot of other commands at once
cedar kindle
apply is more commonly known as “map”. you loop an array and return a new array based on what the code returns for each element
tough abyss
so apply simply reduces the amount of instructions
indigo snow
not really, array set [_forEachIndex, _x*2];
little eagle
Or pushBack
indigo snow
itll still be faster
cedar kindle
allPlayers apply {name _x} // array of all player names
get it?
tough abyss
Yeah 1 performs operators on the array
indigo snow
yes and it will return a copy of the modified array instead of modifying the original one, cuel
tough abyss
as well as chnage it
tough abyss
the other just loops through the array
cedar kindle
ofc
still forum
We should just combine apply, count, forEach into one!
applyCountForEach. Returns array of the new array that apply would create, the number of elements in that new array. and the return value of the last execution
cunning nebula
I don't know
little eagle
You forgot select
indigo snow
also the code block must return nil or a number
cunning nebula
it something about not reading the wiki
tough abyss
could have just used forEach ["mode",[array]];
cunning nebula
and having it explained here instead
tough abyss
😛
cedar kindle
lul
little eagle
could have just used forEach ["mode",[array]];
But that's hideous.
Not that that has ever stopped anyone.
tough abyss
^
indigo snow
refer to the stuffing code in the configClasses string earlier today
tough abyss
Being nested probably is much slower too
apply I guess ensures it's not a double nested operation
indigo snow
if you need to include a mode keyword you might aswell make that keyword... a command

Yeah I know commenting from studying C
cedar kindle
they could’ve called them map and filter which most languages call them. but I guess map is easy to mistake for the ingame map
little eagle
Yet some people argue for it.
cedar kindle
how else would you write comments in init boxes 😉
indigo snow
i use its side behaviour to modify my external script behaviour
if my custom parser reads comment it shuts down my pc
which i need since my power key is broke
little eagle
Same way you do it with the comment command, just without the comment command, cuel
indigo snow
yea they recently allowed normal //comments in those boxes
cedar kindle
oh cool. it was a joke btw
indigo snow
QS, you could just have the string by itself
dont argue silly with me in an arma scripting channel

@tough abyss yes, shouldnt be a problem

The engine knows something that doesn't have two arguments can't be a binary command.. A variable would have 0 arguments.. So technically the engine could let you use the names of binary commands as variable names

Punishing yourself by having to write down redundant information

Nah just copy paste them.
rotund cypress
@little eagle easy to find
tough abyss
Make a header file with all your headers
little eagle
copy pasting is a form of writing
rotund cypress
But @tough abyss don't see why you have a semi colon at end of your define.
tough abyss
which will auto-generate headers
indigo snow
oh yea thats bad practice, the semicolon

easy to find how? you’d just search the file name

arma AI is pretty smart, just a lot gets demanded of them
and they dont deal well when the server is under a heavy load
tough abyss
Walking through a door...
Is impossible for them.
Ever played with as a kid one of the bump bots?
indigo snow
is that the ai being dumb or a bug?
little eagle
both?
indigo snow
always
tough abyss
Runs into the wall then randomly selects a redirection and tries again.
Thats arma 3 AI in buildings
indigo snow
ill give you that they cant handle buildings very well
tough abyss
They can't handle anything well, exploring a roadblock script I wrote
worked beautifully aligned all the roads correctly
etc.
Guess what.
little eagle
The pathfinding is really bad in this game too.
tough abyss
The dumb Tigris drove into them.
indigo snow
depends what you ask. theyre hard to wrangle into specific behaviour, but easy to do well on a broad scale of tasks
not sure how to english that correctly
tough abyss
And the AI goes, oh look a wall.
"Bump" select random direction
"Bump"
Ruins a lot of arma 3's experience.
I feel if BI was to implement neural net AI
the A3 engine probably wouldn't handle it as they need multi-threading
far more than what the A3 engine is capable of at this time.
cunning nebula
neural net AI would demand their own channel on discord to flame about how stupid the players are
little eagle
They need better pathfinding, one that doesn't get them stuck or make them walk through walls. and especially one that handles driving.
cunning nebula
current AI tries the same but their only way of expressing that is by putting a bullet in your face
tough abyss
People also like to glitch into walls.
A3 is terrible at that.
Just get on the right angle and glitch through a wall and shoot someone.
little eagle
Yes, but AI walks effortlessly through walls you can't vault through yourself.
little eagle
v?
tough abyss
ACE3 should have new movement animations
Climbing should be built into ACE3 instead of Enhanced movement
little eagle
There is climbing in ACE.
Not as op as in enhanced movement though, but you can climb on hesco barriers easily.
ctrl v by default I think.
That makes it look smooth for the player : )
Should be using AGLToASL to not be jittery on rough terrain...
cedar kindle
that would be abused to no limit

camera doesn't move when changing to 3rd person.
camera beiing the model selection
All I need is the change of that position. It's like a definite integral, where the integration constant doesn't matter in the end.
Both in 3rd and in 1st person mode the change of position of the animation is the same as the camera moves during that animation.
I could make it relative to the feet too, but then the camera would jump and the feet were smooth...

what's your error ?
subtle wigeon
_allaiUnits is no declared
_x is not declared
_actioned is not declared
sa_fnc_getnearenties may be used before assigning a value
And the script doesnt work
indigo snow
i see the first one being defined, and _x does not need defining
without knowing your actual error, im guessing SA_fnc_getNearEntities returns garbage
slender halo
there is no hoisting in sqf, you should move SA_fnc_getNearEntities before the spawn
indigo snow
im assuming from the tag setup that the function actually lives in cfgFunctions?
slender halo
jsut to be sure
indigo snow
otherwise, yea
slender halo
and as cptnnick said, SA_fnc_getNearEntities might return a tree or a house
not ia only
indigo snow
wouldnt necessarily spawn no declared errors, by which im assuming he means errors with nil
subtle wigeon
Originally the SA_fnc_getNearEntities was not in the scripts, but a functions folder
linking it via config.hpp
indigo snow
config.cpp? is this an addon?
subtle wigeon
im updaing our game template and trying to streamline stuff
no addon

Prob either variable scope or case sensitive issue with classnames. SQF IN is case sensitive

But it popped up with the hint.
So it found the item in my inventory in and said can't smuggle.

That is a child scope. It's undefined in the main scope.

So if I'm correct my exitwith scope in foreach is only 'local' to the foreach entity.

// main scoe

_var = 1;

_var // undefined
So when it finds an explosive it stops the foreach but executes the rest.

The problem is not with exitWith, it's with the variable being undefined.

So if I define it in the start as _bad = 0;
tough abyss
You should really look at that link. It describes your problem etc

does the setCaptive is supouse to make a unit being hand cuffed?

how do i chage the music of the call BIS_fnc_endMission;?
astral tendon
i followed the wiki but the song still playing
["win",true,false,false] call BIS_fnc_endMissionServer;
this is my endind
subtle ore
can't
astral tendon
why...
subtle ore
¯_(ツ)_/¯
astral tendon
["win",true,true,false] call BIS_fnc_endMission;
this works
but this dosent
["win",true,true,false] call BIS_fnc_endMissionServer;
but what happens if i use the frist one only in a server?
astral tendon
dont hurt your face, i know i suck
subtle ore
Local versus Server
endMissionServer ends it on the server for everyone
the endMission ends it for anyone who is local to where it's being executed at
astral tendon
so if i put that on a trigger that means it going to work to everyone?
subtle ore
god damn it, again with the triggers? 🤦
astral tendon
they work ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Hey all! So I have a script that spawns an AI unit and assigns waypoints for it to move around, but when the AI unit makes contact with an enemy, the AI unit will shoot a couple times, then continue moving to next waypoint. Question: How can I get the AI unit to advance/prosecute enemy contacts, then resume previous waypoints? I have set the AI unit's behaviour to "open fire" but that doesn't seem to change contact behavior.
rotund cypress
Does it not already do that automatically? If there is any issues on the way, it deals with that and then carries on? @wispy lynx
wintry eagle
I don’t know a terrible amount about scripting, but you could check out mods like VCOM AI and see how they’ve built it. They’ve done a decent job at beefing up the AI. @wispy lynx
rotund cypress
Too bad there is no AI eventhandlers 😦
wispy lynx
The AI unit moves around, but when it sights an enemy unit (player or another enemy AI) it will fire a couple of shots, then continue moving to next waypoint. It does not continue to engage or advance (unless the target is in the same direction as it's next waypoint). The assigned waypoints are Search and Destroy. Essentially it acts like it's more interested in waypoints than enemy contacts, despite having all behaviors directed at engaging any contact it encounters (setCombatMode "RED").
astral tendon
what about their group behavior?
usualy when they are on aware they already do that
wispy lynx
behavior and combat mode are set to "aware" & "RED".
is there a way to script a new waypoint for the ai unit when it makes contact, where the new waypoint is at the last known location of the enemy contact, I'm thinking a SAD waypoint, and then the AI unit returns to original waypoints when enemy is killed or the "inserted" SAD waypoint completes?
astral tendon
you mean the actual file?

@GeekGuy884 wait a sec... in your example, why not use a ternary op instead of if else ?
or wait, maybe I forgot that... oh dear, SQF does not support ternary op??
tribal crane
It doesn't need it, "if" is already an expression.
timber ridge
it's crappy in terms of syntax and takes way too much space for simple conditionals such as his
imagine this:
!!curatorcamera ? {["EventTrack02_F_Curator","EventTrack01_F_Curator"]} : {["EventTrack02_F_Curator","EventTrack03_F_Curator"]};
tribal crane
If it makes you feel better, "if" is actually a noise word; the engine could just take "BOOL then CODE" and "BOOL then ELSETHINGY".
timber ridge
or his example could be simplified to even:
_musicList = {["EventTrack02_F_Curator", isNull curatorCamera ? "EventTrack01_F_Curator" : "EventTrack03_F_Curator"]};
still forum
@Inlesco#5178 SQS has ternary op
timber ridge
@still forum amazing.
I never understood SQF's then keyword usage... is it because it's easier for the parser/interpreter or it's just a design choice for no actual reason other than making things different from most pop langs and practices?
still forum
It is required
Game has nulary,unary,binary commands.
so command variable variable
as if (condition) {code}
would be doesn't work.
binary commands are variable command variable
"would be doesn't work" ... What a genius
timber ridge
binary commands are named like that because [var comm var] is basically [0 1 0] where var = 0 & comm = 1 ? 😄

Too bad there is no AI eventhandlers :frowning:
Oh god, that would be so helpful.
tough abyss
there kind of is
if you look at the danger.fsm there are 9 "EventHandlers" which can be used to execute whatever you like based on what threat the AI is in
also there should be other stuff in the formation.fsm i think
timber ridge
@tough abyss but these EHs aren't exposed for any use externally, right? or can you somehow subscribe to them while they're inside Danger.fsm and others?
tough abyss
you can open the danger.fsm and add whatever you like to it
but agreed, some hooks would be neat in there, placed by BI so not every mod modifying the danger.fsm is overwriting the other
timber ridge
well, I guess @cunning nebula had public EHs in mind, not those isolated in some obscure AI behavior file
tough abyss
yea
timber ridge
I guess you can expose those private EHs from danger.fsm by only having access to C++ code of the game or can there somehow some hooks to be made by mods?
tough abyss
fsm contains just sqf and some structure markup stuff
one sec
one could add a small snippet in the danger.fsm that reads from a class where ppl could register their functions they want to be executed
timber ridge
@tough abyss so basically you have a class AiBehaviorHooks in ai_behavior_hooks.cpp which registers some methods which, if they exist, will be executed by danger.fsm if placed inside in its respective "states"?
tough abyss
that would be sort of the idea
but then, every mod that wants to use this system would need to be dependent on that AIhook mod
thick sage
How would I add a HighCommand programatically in SQF?
timber ridge
not sure how would that work, I'm not a CPP programmer, but it'd be an interesting approach to try.
I'm not sure how callbacks would work in this case, passing all of the args to the external class method...
tough abyss
for arma we can just define parameter classes which can be expanded upon by any addon, it's not really executable code in there
there is a predefined set of params those EH can deliver, it would make sense to pass all those to the called functions no matter if they need it
the functions then can define their inputs depending on what they need
torn juniper
@little eagle @tough abyss I had wanted to try and replicate the missileIncoming EH for AI to players to also fire for players firing a lock on rocket. Right now I can't find a solid method without bogging down with loops. Hence maybe being able to modify the EH with extended eventhandlers via CBA but I don't think it would be that cut and dry
tough abyss
are you sure its not only a locallity problem?
torn juniper
Same code works for ai but not players
tough abyss
i've never heard of EHs threating AI or players diffrently
with players you are always in MP and the player firing is never local to your machine
torn juniper
Ill give it another shot tomorrow but it specifically says AI in EH description
tough abyss
while AI can very well be
torn juniper
Triggered when a guided missile locked on the target or unguided missile or rocket aimed by AI at the target was fired.
thick sage
e.g, would this work?
hc1 = "HighCommand" createVehicle [0,0,0];
hc2 = "HighCommandSubordinate" createVehicle [0,0,0];
hc1 synchronizeObjectsAdd [hc2];
hc2 synchronizeObjectsAdd [hc1];
player synchronizeObjectsAdd [hc1];
hc1 synchronizeObjectsAdd [player];
player hcSetGroup [squad];
Seems odd that its AI only though - Hence why I was wondering if there was configs somewhere
That I could look at the eh code
tough abyss
i think EHs are pure engine c++
torn juniper
Thought so
still forum
Besides scriptedEventHandlers
tough abyss
i think it could be worth, it would baffle me if it was for AI locks only
still forum
nothing AI in there tho
You can just insert your own scriptedEH's into danger.fsm and just call them though
but you will need to overwrite danger.fsm

an EH that fires when a player uses missiles ?
cunning nebula
hmm you just need a command to know what the weapon is locked on to
tough abyss
to add a minor explenation, those "EHs" are DangerCauses (DC) which can be used in the danger.fsm to make AI react diffrently to those situations
would be neat to expose those to nativ SQF
cunning nebula
interesting

So you can receive the EH's inside danger.fsm but not in normal sqf?

I am getting an error in the High command module when I change the side of the player. How would I read the code of the HC module to understand if there is anything I can do to fix it?

@tough abyss perhaps you've got some time to make a prototype for the aforementioned extended AI EH hooks from danger.fsm?
pseudocode would surely be enough, so others can follow and maybe contribute themselves

If you get an error it probably shows you the file the error is in right? Just view that file @thick sage

A3\modules_f\hc\data\scripts\HC_GUI.sqf. How would I go to this file? Is it on a pbo, or just somewhere on the computer?
tough abyss
@still forum they are not real EHs in the danger.fsm but the danger.fsm gets the dangercause as input by the engine which then can be used inside the danger.fsm
this is a very bad example of me trying something in the danger.fsm :P
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/216215205959434240/357610852372840450/unknown.png

@timber ridge could you remind me in the evening? currently in the office

@tough abyss sure, but I guess there's a functionality on discord to set a reminder in X hours just like on Slack, no?
tough abyss
no idea 😄
timber ridge
oh yeah, this one seems suitable - https://discordbots.org/bot/290947970457796608
peak plover
You can just create your own server for free and have all the bots there
There's actually some decent music bots etc. So you can listen to youtube on the phone with screen off
tough abyss
@timber ridge my idea would be to get a array of functions defined in a new class lets say class AIHooks with https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/getArray
that would be inside the danger.fsm
inside that class are functions listed which are executed, any mod can add functions to that class
the input params are just given into those functions as they come by the engine from the danger.fsm
that would enable AI mods to coexist
right now any AI mod changing the danger.fsm is killing the one loaded before

Just in case. It theoretically passes the caller Display, but it passed a controlNull for whatever reason (display still gets created with everything correct though)

"just in case"
Yes.. it passes a display. And you can't do that without disableSerialization

@little eagle A select in line 26, and check if array is not empty, can make it more optimized ?

You mean L16?

Inside the waituntil
little eagle
Which array can be empty? I don't follow.
little oxide
When you checking if the player are connected in game with the allPlayers variable,You using a forEach
I think a select is a little bit more fast
still forum
I guess checking if the array is empty. Instead of forEaching. Which no. It's not faster. forEach does that internally too.
little eagle
private _unit = allPlayers select {getPlayerUID _x == _uid} select 0;
!isNil "_unit"

Yeah for example

Imo this one looks prettier, but it doesn't have the exitWith, so it always iterates through all players and doesn't stop when it finds one.

But does yours work, @cunning nebula Curator_F is no class in A3, modules need createUnit, not Vehicle and you have waitUntil in unscheduled environment.

Also _player is an array and not an object. It seems to me that your code has the right ideas, but doesn't work atm.
cunning nebula
could be, i wrote it at work a while ago, havent really tested it
little eagle
See? I tested mine and it works.
I based it on yours.
don't need no module
But the curator logic is required and it is a module. I don't see how you can circumvent these hard coded requirements.
cunning nebula
far as I know, zeus just needs a curator entity
I never had to create a module for that
and that part I have tested before
little eagle
The curator entity / logic has the classname ModuleCurator_F and doubles as the editor module.

What about the other issues? sleep in unscheduled?

_x distanceSqr getpos player
Why not:
_x distanceSqr player

Seems unnecessarily complicated considering you could just add the action to the player and avoid the removeAction and the loop all together by checking the cursorTarget.
subtle wigeon
example? trying to improve this script, as it stopped working after last update
little eagle
I'll write something...
subtle wigeon
thank you very much
here is another version Pier and GOM helped with but still couldnt get to work
cunning nebula
@astral tendon dont use moveOut, at least not alone
also unassign them from the vehicle
astral tendon
why?
cunning nebula
because otherwise they might try to get back in
its still assigned to them
in your situation a simple leaveVehicle command would probably do
astral tendon
the truck is locked
cunning nebula
if that is quick enough
ah
I'd still do it
@subtle wigeon that just a script to allow you to recruit units ?
subtle wigeon
Yes, correct. It allows you to recruit and dismiss units
cunning nebula
its much more complex than necessary and rather bad for performance.
addAction allows you to include a condition
that way you wont need that loop
cunning nebula
aye, that is a much cleaner solution
subtle wigeon
I just cant figure how to make it work, meaing I am not sure if i out the bits of code in the right places
commy2 Thamks going to test now. If i understand.
// postInit / initPlayerLocal.sqf
this means place in player local init, must be ran post init?
little eagle
You put it either in initPlayerLocal or any postInit = 1 function.
Dun't matter. All it needs is player to be not null still.
subtle wigeon
this will work with mulitplater and dedicated sever, as that is where it will be going

Yes, it's supposed to work in MP.
As I said, untested, cause this laptop doesn't run Arma. :/

what is the isNil for btw ?
tough abyss
How do I add a module to zeus? (#arma3_config?).
little eagle
Hatred and the will to dominate (unscheduled environment)
cunning nebula
isn't the condition unscheduled by default ?
little eagle
The statement in addAction is scheduled, the condition is unscheduled.
cunning nebula
ah right, looked at the wrong part of it
little eagle
side check should be added, as well as isKindOf CAManBase to not have the action show on vehicles. But doing that is easy once the thing is working.
cunning nebula
though im not sure if that is needed
why does the action have to happen superfast ?
little eagle
I don't trust doing group checks, then have the script suspend for a second and then have the join when the condition could've been flipped to false already.
This is why the arsenal mission errors on low fps and why the config viewer errors on low fps... You get tired of unreliable code after a while.
cunning nebula
oh yeah, in case the soldier suddenly turns into a building when you use the action. good point
little eagle
Haha, I like you.
cunning nebula
you never know 😉

Exactly!

So it seems that ACE added garrison modules to Zeus yesterday... https://github.com/acemod/ACE3/commit/bb03f55c5c3e1c570d39aa85ed7041cf1f82c0aa
Just as I was about to add my own 😄

About a week ago @cunning nebula posted some code for spawning Zues mid game, but I'm getting an error with it.`
18:47:27 UnExpected call of CreateVehicle for 'curator_f', pos(0.000000.2,10.005997.2,0.000000.2). Vehicles with brain cannot be created using 'createVehicle'!
This was the Code:
addZeusEH = addMissionEventHandler ["PlayerConnected", {
params ["_id","_uid","_name","_jip","_owner"];
private ["_cur"];
if !(_uid in zeusuids) exitWith {};
waitUntil {
sleep 1;
({_uid isEqualTo getPlayerUID _x} count allPlayers) > 0
};
_player = allPlayers select {_uid isEqualTo getPlayerUID _x};
_cur = "curator_f" createVehicle [0,0,0];
_cur addCuratorAddons activatedAddons;
_player assignCurator _cur;
_cur addCuratorEditableObjects [allMissionObjects "all",false];
_player setVariable ["cur",_cur,true];
}];
removeZeusEH = addMissionEventHandler ["HandleDisconnect", {
params ["_unit","_id","_uid","_name"];
deleteVehicle (_unit getVariable ["cur",objNull];)
}];```
I'm currently just testing with ``testCur = "Curator_F" createVehicle [0,0,0];`` But I'm getting the above error. Am I missing something or?
Thanks.It can't honestly. He's using sleep and waitUntil in unscheduled environment.
_player = allPlayers select {_uid isEqualTo getPlayerUID _x};
And this line reports an array, not the player.
distant egret
true... didn't see that...
Yea I just gisted it last week and wanted to test it today so xD
but thx for your gist
little eagle
I really like the idea of perpetuating repetitive tasks like this in gists and building a knowledge of SQF howto's.
little eagle
I think it's ModuleCurator_F, not Curator_F, but I have no explanation of why both exists as game logics.
distant egret
ah yea ModuleCurator_F
little eagle
The code I posted spawns them on the server and they then get transferred to the client by using assignCurator.
distant egret
yea and when client disconnects he removes them
little eagle
Curator logics are always local to their assigned player.
Yup, cleanup.
You could also create one at the start of the mission for every white listed id. But I guess this is better? I don't know. It shouldn't really matter.
distant egret
idk if they will appear on the role sheet?
little eagle
The modules? Doubt it. They're sideLogic and not civilian or any other playable side.
distant egret
true yea.
little eagle
They're also not playableUnits or whatever the command is.
distant egret
ah Target Exec doesn't like // just noticed.
little eagle
Yeah, it also doesn't report the return value. TargetExec is from CBA and was made before the recent changes to the debug console.
distant egret
Yea but the server exec was from BI them self right?
same for global
so I thought you guys use the same mechanics.
little eagle
Yea but the server exec was from BI them self right?
Yes.
so I thought you guys use the same mechanics.
Well Pabst did, until the BI ones were changed.

How do I make a unit play an animation? never mind, google did what community.bistudio.com didn't
young current
you should always ask <INSERT PREFERRED SEARCH ENGINE> first anyway. 😜
loud python
but now I am having a different problem
I want a soldier to sit on a wall with the "InBaseMoves_SitHighUp1"
but he just hovers above the wall
any idea how I could fix that?
still forum
setPosASL him further down
loud python
no easier option?>
when I place him into the wall in eden editor he just pops back up
still forum
this setPosASL ((this getPosASL) vectorAdd [0,0,-0.2])
Don't know how to disable snapping.. But I'd guess there is some way
loud python
now he falls to the ground
little eagle
attachTo?
loud python
would require finding the wall first
too much work for just one animation
I guess I'll just remove that guy xD
thanks for the help anyway
still forum
if he sits still -> disableSimulation
loud python
I didn't expect it to look that awkward
still forum
