What you posted? Doesn't look like SQF or config, so nothing in Arma.
astral tendon
ok, thanks.
rancid ruin
surely you could write a reader for pretty much any text file in arma considering we have ways to manipulate strings
it would be painful cos it's sqf, but it's possible
rotund cypress
you would have to read it with an extension however @rancid ruin
rancid ruin
why? i've parsed .txt files myself from mission dir with no addons
_names_first_contents = loadFile "\functions\character\names_first.txt" splitString toString [13,10] joinString "";
_names_first = _names_first_contents splitString ",";
for a names_first.txt file like
John,
Bob,
Dave,
Steve,
....
i can't remember what the splitstring and tostring is doing exactly but i remember it definitely worked
indigo snow
its removing linebreaks
rancid ruin
past me, why didn't you just split it by linebreaks instead of by commas?
so the first line is creating a string like this then?
John,Bob,Dave,Steve
Ah, loadFile, didn't think of that π

im trying to find a decent reason why AI squads are not holding at theit dan hold way point instead of move around
but that seens to be just arma being arma
subtle ore
@astral tendon did you try dangling steak in front of them?
astral tendon
I did with disableAI "MOVE" but afther it got turned on again they said "fuck it" to my way point and start to hang around in the vilage intead off move to the waypoint.
seens like unit capture is my only friend.
bugy as hell for cars but at least they work to some level.

Hello! I was wondering what is probably the best altis life framework that is out currently that supports most scripts and such ?
subtle ore
@astral tendon So, I want you to take a very long look at this https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/disableAI
astral tendon
I already tryed as many combinations i could with it, yet they still unrelible.
subtle ore
what I am trying to get at here
is that you should not be using disableAI
nor triggers
astral tendon
im not even using triggers in this one.
subtle ore
don't use disableAI then
astral tendon
just the units init and waypoints
so what i am going to do with out it if they cant hold and still on their hold marker?
subtle ore
literally just move them to the point
they aren't going to move without more intructions
astral tendon
and then actually move to their move marker with out going around the map?
astral tendon
squad hold into a coupound
explosion
trigger activated
hold waypoint skiped
move to the next marker were players destroy their ammo cache and thy to go afther they
astral tendon
what happens:
squad dont hold, walk around the map
explsoion
trigger activated
squad does not give a single dan wabout their waypoint
subtle ore
Code please
astral tendon
same happens with veicle
subtle ore
code
astral tendon
there is literay none
subtle ore
Why.
astral tendon
this is a exemple of a pure starting mission making
subtle ore
No, that's learning how to use drag and drop functionalities
astral tendon
what i did to try to fix that:
disableAI "MOVE" + the hold maker (they actually hold and still)
explosion
trigger activated
enable AI "move"
they move akwardly to the waypoint or some times it just dont do it at all
i dont know how the trigger did broken everyting even the hold mark.

@subtle ore Nah just to create temporarily and attach a player to it. Its for a tazer script so they cant move. I know some people use helipads etc for this sorta thing but was wondering if there was some special one like a helper object or something

Hi everyone. I am strugling to find a webpage that describes the steps to convert assets into a mod. Coul anyone point me to a direction?
rancid ruin
what kind of asset?
rancid ruin
it's quite simple
config.cpp which looks something like this
class CfgPatches {
class whatever {
init = "call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers '\folder\script.sqf'";
};
};
wrapped up in a folder called "folder" with script.sqf in it
then pack that folder in to a .pbo and it'll run your script
thick sage

rancid ruin
yes, i guess, no
thick sage
e.g. where would I write the cfgFunctions?
rancid ruin
you can just stick it in the config.cpp, same as anything else i think
thick sage
ok. Thanks.

It's signed if you sign it. It is ready for steam workshop. It will should show neatly on the launcher after you have it in workshop.
@earnest ore There is no "generic error in expression" unless one special case
Check what the real error is
indigo snow
If _this is nil
That fnc can just be replaced by an apply, tho
_arr apply {_x select 0};
astral tendon
_this spawn {
params ["_injured","_healer"];
_startDamage = damage _injured;
if (_startDamage > 0) then {
waitUntil {damage _injured != _startDamage};
if (damage _injured < 0.2) then {_injured enableAI "move"
};
};
};
}];````in MP this does not work, the AI does not move
in SP it works, what is wrong?
little oxide
I think, you need to execute enableAI where AI are local in multiplayer
if you don't have HC, this will be on the server
@astral tendon
And saw in the wiki, the eventhandler need to be added where unit is local
so same as before
astral tendon
how i do that?
little oxide
use remoteExec command
Don't forget to check, in the wiki, if the command are local or global when using it in multiplayer
astral tendon
i will try that.
subtle ore
You were already told about this last time π
astral tendon
Because some event handlers work with out it
_car = _this select 0;
if ({alive _x} count (crew _car) == 0) then {_car setDamage 1}}];```like this
little oxide
You need to add the eventhandler HandleHeal only in the server
so don't put anything inside the init, or use a condition with isServer command
because if i give you a solution, all player we tell the server, to move the IA
subtle ore
Β Triggers only on PC where EH is added and unit isΒ local
little oxide
Yeah, and if you don't have HC, the IA are local in the server
subtle ore
No they are not local to the server. They would be local to the HC
Roque obviously doesn't have an HC running
little oxide
Yeah like i said, if you don't have HC, this will be local to the server
so use isserver command
and add only to the server
subtle ore
No
Just because you add it to the server
Doesn't mean that it'll be executed locally to the AI
little oxide
yes
little oxide
Yes
little oxide
Idk what are you talking, you said, if he doesn't have HC, so the IA will be local to the server, and two lines after, you said, the unit will not be local to the server Uh
subtle ore
No, i said in both conditions
That ai will not be local to the server
Ubless
The creation takes place local to the server machine
little oxide
Yes and
subtle ore
Which in case. Still wouldn't allow you to be one and done
The eh needs to be added locally to each ai unit
Because why would you just be one and done if you needed to add functionality to each differently?
Mission event handlers can be used to trigger eh through mission namespace
Which don't require either a target or local target

Wow, you're so cool

you may have misunderstood, what you heard was, "i want a hacky scripted AI paterns of life that kinda works" what i said was "i want a good patterns of life" that being said, my standards are a bit unreasonably high in that i want R* quality. (ref: all your bacon and eggs)

iirc hearts and minds did something very similar for handling bridge patrol over tanoa bridges. Traffic as well. Civies would either pass the car in front of them or drive behind them.
Well come on nos
You could probably script something better than whatever mockup they had in TKOH
A hacky ai script is only a hacky ai script if you make it so

again, my standards may be "unreasonably high" in what i expect for AI out of the box.

fringe gull
say I have added a trigger in EDEN editor which is represented in the mission.sqf like so:
class Item1
{
position[]={1100,-30,8060};
interruptable=1;
age="UNKNOWN";
expCond="isServer || !isServer";
expActiv="onMapSingleClick ""(Driver(vehicle Player1)) DoMove _pos; Player2 sideRadio ''"";";
class Effects
{
};
};
Do you guys know if there is a way to create a trigger via script in my init.sqf without having to manually do :
_trg = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", getPos player];
_trg setTriggerArea [5, 5, 0, false];
_trg setTriggerActivation ["CIV", "PRESENT", true];
_trg setTriggerStatements ["this", "hint 'Civilian near player'", "hint 'no civilian near'"];
Something like:
_myTrigger = {
position[]={1100,-30,8060};
interruptable=1;
age="UNKNOWN";
expCond="isServer || !isServer";
expActiv="onMapSingleClick ""(Driver(vehicle Player1)) DoMove _pos; Player2 sideRadio ''"";";

On this page, https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Functions_Library_(Arma_3)#Folder_Path, it says that it is possible to add a path to the category in cfgFunctions, and it will search the file as %ROOT%\myPath\fn_myFunction.sqf. Is fn a typo (fnc), or not?

thanks Tajin. It is unfortunate because ACE does not use those. Katekarin, thanks, it was a typo indeed

Hey guys, I'm looking at this line of code to return all compatible optics getArray(configfile >> "CfgWeapons" >> _x >> "WeaponSlotsInfo" >> "CowsSlot" >> "compatibleItems"); but after looping through the array it seems to be empty, not quite sure where to go with it. Also, does getArray return an array of strings or do classes get returned as their own special type?
astral tendon
i have this on my mission init
player enableFatigue false;
player addEventhandler ["Respawn", {player enableFatigue false}];

Does anyone know if using this: 'trigger setTriggerStatements [condition, activation, deactivation]' would be the same as using this: 'trigger setTriggerActivation [by, type, repeating]' ??
or can this 2 be used together
little eagle
Uhm, you can use one after the other?
fringe gull
Ok, thanks... sorry Im very new at this arma scripting xD
cedar kindle
they're separate things
fringe gull
would you say that this:
_trigger setTriggerActivation ["ANYPLAYER", "NOT PRESENT", true];
could be activated by anyplayer, at any place in the map, repeatedly?
(if the conditions are true)
cedar kindle
no it only applies to the trigger
little eagle
Statements are separated by semi colons:
trigger setTriggerStatements [...];
trigger setTriggerActivation [...];
when no player is in the trigger, it activates
so it would depend on the size of the trigger / what it covers
fringe gull
ok what Im trying to do is: if a player is in a vehicle add X action
no matter if that player is inside the trigger or outside the trigger
little eagle
Just add the action at mission start and make being inside the vehicle a condition of the action.
fringe gull
and it can happen any number of times
little eagle
No triggers,
fringe gull
and this condition of the action could be dynamic? like is not always going to be the same vehicle
vehicles spawn during the mission
cedar kindle
yes, you can have a condition of when the addAction is available
fringe gull
ok, let me read about that "addAction" function in the docs
little eagle
You can specify inside the condition which vehicle.
I'd say you add the action to the vehicle and not the player.
And then just check if the object the action is attached to is the current vehicle of the player.
That way you avoid having to deal with respawn changing your body disarding all old actions.
fringe gull
yes but, since the player can buy any number of vehicles during mission I cant attach the action to a vehicle, unless I manage to add it manually
like every time the vehicle spawns I add the action
little eagle
Is this with mods?
little eagle
Hmm, any way to execute a script every time a vehicle is created? I mean, is there something like an eventhandler in that framework?
fringe gull
yes, the spawn has a callback
or eventhandler to do things after
well not the spawn, I believe is the execVM
little eagle
By "spawn" I meant the vehicle creation. Common term in video games unrelated to the spawn command.
fringe gull
I was playing a mission downloaded from the workshop where the dev added functions to control de HeliPilot from the Gunner seat by adding functions like "Increase Altitude" "Turn to target" so I opened his mission to learn how he did it (im planning to credit him ofcourse) and my intention is to:
- Make it work as a stand alone mod for any attack helicopter
- Make it easy to integrate into any mission
in the original mission the dev added triggers, which are represented in the mission.sqm like so:
class Item233
{
position[]={1689.3507,5.5,5563.3813};
a=5;
b=5;
repeating=1;
interruptable=1;
age="UNKNOWN";
text="GunnerCMDs";
name="GunnerCMDs";
expCond="!(isnull (driver(vehicle pilot01))) && (Gunner Viper01) == player || !(isnull (driver(vehicle pilot01))) && (Gunner Viper02) == player || !(isnull (driver(vehicle pilot01))) && (Gunner Viper03) == player || !(isnull (driver(vehicle pilot01))) && (Gunner Viper04) == player";
expActiv="nul = execVM ""HGM\HGM.sqf"";";
expDesactiv="removeAllActions Player;";
class Effects
{
};
};
since im trying to replicate this behaviour, my intention is to dynamically create a trigger in the init.sqf file
thats why im doing that... the problem is that the class stated above does not have anything related to "trigger setTriggerActivation [by, type]"
only the repeatin is present in the class
since by default a trigger has a repeating set to false... i need to be able to change it, but theres no way to set it without set the "by" and the "type"
little eagle
["Helicopter", "init", {
params ["_heli"];
_heli addAction ["Test Action", {
systemChat str _this;
}, nil, 2, false, true, "", "cameraOn == _this"];
}, nil, nil, true] call CBA_fnc_addClassEventHandler;
This is what I'd do, but it requires mods.
fringe gull
hmmm ok Imma test what I have so far, if not I will consider your solution

It also is just an assumption that the whole dictionary is working with arrays instead of locations

@austere granite, what? Either you did not understand what I coded, or I did not understand what you wrote. Because I am pretty sure this does not exist.

The closer we have would be iniDB, which supports writing to file (which Dictionary does not), but unfortunately
-
does not support saving natively into Arma (profileNamespace) and
-
does not support nesting (i.e. not possible to save a OBJECT type with native types).
-
means that you must use a filesystem, 2. means that you still need to define your own hierarchical "schema" when saving the database in iniDB, e.g. through a custom convention of naming keys that will invariable limit the depth that you can go.
Dictionary completely abstracts you from this problem. You define an object of data (which contain other objects), and it just serializes the object to a string. To give you an idea, in the mission I am working on there a single global variable, AS_persistents (with a maximum depth of 5 or 6 atm), that contain all the data I want to save persistently (with nesting). To save it,
private _data = AS_persistents call DICT_fnc_serialize;
profileNamespace setVariable ["MY_MISSION", _data];
to load it
private _data = profileNamespace getVariable "MY_MISSION";
AS_persistents = _data call DICT_fnc_deserialize;

Personally I think the SQF commands are easier to use, but I guess the point is that you don't have to worry about locality when using the functions.
meager granite
I need an array of numbers from 0 to X in random order, I wonder if this can be done better:
_to = 10;
_array = [];
_result = [];
for "_i" from 0 to _to do {_array pushBack _i};
for "_i" from 0 to _to do {
_random = selectRandom _array;
_result pushBack _random;
_array deleteAt _random;
};
_result;
Not that performance difference would matter, just curious if this can be improved
little eagle
The deleteAt already reports the deleted element , so you can put the pushBack, deleteAt and selectRandom all in one line.
meager granite
Good call
meager granite
_to = 10;
_array = [];
_result = [];
for "_i" from 0 to _to do {_array pushBack _i};
for "_i" from _to to 0 step -1 do {
_result pushBack (_array deleteAt floor random _i);
};
_result;
Well I guess it can't get any better than that
little eagle
to 1, I think. Both random floor 1 and random floor 0 always report 0, so you do that element twice.
meager granite
Hmm
little eagle
deleteAt 0 would report nil for the [] empty array.
pushBack nil fails silently.
So there is no practical difference, but one iteration is useless.
meager granite
for "_i" from (_to + 1) to 1 step -1 do {
That's how it should be then
or ceil random
so no additional + is done
little eagle
Yes, _to + 1 is the size of your array, since it has 11 elements.
meager granite
_to = 10;
_array = [];
_result = [];
for "_i" from 0 to _to do {_array pushBack _i};
for "_i" from _to to 0 step -1 do {
_result pushBack (_array deleteAt ceil random _i);
};
_result;
ceil random is bad, because there is a one in ten million chance it reports out of bounds
ceil random 5
could be
0

tough abyss
i'm a bit confused right now, a fired EH triggers on all clients or only the one it was assigned to?
to extend my confusion, what about cfgWeapon based EHs?
little eagle
fired is AG, EL. It will trigger for remote units, but only on the machine that added the eventhandler. It's the same for config fired, but I never used the CfgWeapons version. I assume it's the same, but you never know...
Config should be the same everywhere, so the question is if it triggers for machines that not own the object that fired the weapon. For fired it does (AG), but the question remains if the CfgWeapons version is also AG. I assume it is until proven otherwise.
tough abyss
my confusion still stands π
AG means arguments global i know
EL execution local
little eagle
Yep, that sums it up.
tough abyss
i still can't grasp if its executed on nonlocal units or other clients
i'm a bit slow today π
little eagle
nonlocal units
Yes, because AG
other clients
No, EL
Of course EL just means that you have to use the addEventHandler on every machine to have the event code be executed on every machine.
tough abyss
ok, so i need to test how the config version actually behaves
thanks! rest should be clear by now
little eagle
The CfgWeapons one, yes. Because I can guarantee that the CfgVehicles one is AG, EL too.
Well, config and EL is hard to tell, but for simplicity it is.
tough abyss
but what means EL in that context π
little eagle
In context of config?
little eagle
That you have to own the mod and that config entry for the config entry to be executed.
only "assigned" where the vehicle or unit is local?
No, it would be assigned to all objects even remote ones on the machine that has the config entry.
You're confusing A and E again.
E in this case is on which machines the code will be executed in case the event triggers. That's always the local one for events and always every one for MPEvents (please don't use them)
A is the object the event is attached to. AL means it only fires for local objects (killed), while AG means it fires for remote objects as well (fired).
tough abyss
What's so bad about MP Events?
little eagle
Nothing really. MPRespawn is good aside from the bugs.
tough abyss
π€¦ thanks π
little eagle
Dunno if they ever fixed them.
tough abyss
now i get it π
little eagle
A is concerned about the object the event is attached to, while E is concerned about the machine which execute the code block. I guess that is how you can think about it.
tough abyss
"...is good aside from the bugs" is a good way to describe Arma in general π
little eagle
MPRespawn is/was weird.
Rather people would KISS and use respawn eventhandler with remoteExec than MPRespawn. At least with the former you know it works.
OR
Make Respawn AG in A4.
Triggered when a unit, it is assigned to, respawns. This EH does not work as one would expect MP EH should work like. It is only triggered on one machine where the unit it was assigned to is local. The only difference between Respawn and MPRespawn is that MPRespawn can be assigned from anywhere while Respawn requires the unit to be local. This EH must be used in conjunction with the addMPEventHandler command.
Yeah, MPRespawn is fucked

Im having issues using safezones as the coordinate system for menus on my mission. For people with smaller resolutions, text becomes stretched and out of wack and sometimes impossible to read. Is there any way around this? When I used GUI_GRID, I had issues which is why I changed to safe zones but now this is causing issues
lone glade
use pixelGrid
warm gorge
Does it work well over different resolutions?
lone glade
it's intended for that, however there's some weird things going on with UI scaling, I'm using pixelGridNoUIScale for now
warm gorge
Looks like a new system, havent seen that used much yet at least. I guess ill give it a go, because safezone is just causing too many issues for me
lone glade
you still have to use safezones for anchoring
warm gorge
Oh its not in the GUI editor yet

GUI editor is trash, diag branch + diag_mergeConfigFile is much faster

ofc, if you know what you're doing it's much faster

Anyone know the basic concept of retrieving a texture in Arma from the web? I assume it's possible, as I've seen servers pull Youtube videos from the web. Basic goal is that I want to assign a billboard a custom texture, but have it re-retrieve the texture every 5 or 10 minutes from a webhost, rather than storing it in the mission file, to allow for easier changes to images, rather than having to modify the actual mission pbo.
eager prawn
Really? Would it not even be possible with a mod/hook specifically made for it?
little eagle
htmlLoad?
lone glade
it's for controls tho, he want a billboard, don't think that's possible
little eagle
Definitely not possible with 3d object textures without editing the mission pbo / addon pbo.
Exception is Squad.xml, but that logic is only for the squad.xml stuff.
Wonder if you can abuse it somehow. Doubt it though.
tough abyss
Extension to download the image file onto client machines.
Don't forget about BE Whitelisting, since extension will be on client machine
little eagle
But then you still need file patching.
lone glade
or live config reloading, good luck with that
little eagle
Not config, but inlcuding the texture into a loaded pbo file.
austere granite
only possible with filepatching
i messed around with this once: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XPozlo_b3k
htmlLoad with arguments for the size in pixels i want it, to get a map overlay from an online picture
that's about the max you can do, but there's a ton of flaws with it
sour saffron
Anyone know the basic concept of retrieving a texture in Arma from the web? try the clan sign application to a model i have seen that
austere granite
you mean squad.xml? Those pictures are cached and even then i don't think you have a whole lot of acces to it
sour saffron
i think they assigned it squad url to a billboard which was the server / player or a logic
it weas a while back and it maybe even the billboard was Man class
i think you can even play live video now or HTMl vids cant you to a PIP ? or is it third party dll ?
brazen sparrow
when i did this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdGU6vmPMrk i didnt need filepatching
it was in editor tho so who knows
little eagle
That is PIP?
brazen sparrow
nope
lone glade
no
little eagle
How?
little eagle
Yeah, that's not going to work outside the editor and without file patching.
subtle ore
The extension?
austere granite
tried basically all of those solutions
actually loading in a picture needs filepatching
subtle ore
Why would it need filepatching if say allowed to load by the server?
brazen sparrow
textures are local
austere granite
are we still talking about him wanting to load in a picture on a billboard?
if so, you need a local texture
brazen sparrow
u cant like stick a base64 encoded image into the set texture cmd
austere granite
and without file patching you can't load pictures outside addon/currently loaded mission

Yeah.. was planning on a plugin with such stuff. hashMaps, some math functions and such

in which case i've seen about 6 different sqf solutions for that
tough abyss
Yeah there are bunch of different versions, pretty sure CBA has one aswell.
A native version via intercept would be nice.
still forum
The important thing with Golias' version is that you can store OBJECT's which can have sub values.
and that it's serializeable
Intercept could use Arma's serializer though.. which is known to be able to serialize everything and deserialize it also over network

_hashMap = createHashMap;
_hashMap set ["stuff", _object];

These command names are not as nice as I would want them.. But I don't know how else I would call that
Repurposing existing commands instead of adding new ones looks quite good
set would accept [ANY, ANY]
you can PVAR hashMaps just like any other type. But controls/displays would create problems as they can't be serialized
Would take me about an 20 minutes to implement into engine if I had access.. But BI doesn't have time for such things

entityCreated mission eh
addClassEventHandler

entityCreated?

2 of these Intercept can't... Well... it could do it the CBA way.
little eagle
entityInit. Like entityRespawn and entityKilled
tame portal
I actually havent looked at entities yet, any short summary of what they are or a link?
little eagle
It's just a mission eventhandler version of init/killed/respawn events.
If I had these 3, and the ClassEventHandler one would work with dialogs, I could turn the whole of CBA into a mission script.

Okey I added count hashMap and hashMap select ANY the select one is just a copy of the find

Good.

Throw some Ideas at me for other simple stuff I can implement
tough abyss
Is it case senstive or insenitive for the keys?
still forum
hashMap. so sensitive
It also accepts anything. case-sensitive only applies to strings
tough abyss
Important to dcument that. Will catch people out
still forum
@Adanteh#0761 Not possible
still forum
What else do people need?
I could add createNamespace but.. That's not "simple"
austere granite
pseudo-namespace
still forum
well yeah.. I could just use the hashMap and accept it as argument to set/getVariable
little eagle
No need for createNamespace when you have hashMaps. But maybe with hash do.
still forum
That's one of the few things I can't implement
little eagle
Only arrays are passed as references. Numbers aren't.
still forum
I could do increment "varname"
But if you do increment varname
Then the increment function only get's the value inside varname. It can't actually write to varname
I do actually get values by reference. But...
_v1 = 5;
_v2 = _v1;
increment _v2;
would also increment _v1. And I guess you wouldn't want that
austere granite
maybe a command implementation of usual config return?
dunno if that is a thing
private _value = call {
if (isNumber _cfg) exitWith { getNumber _cfg };
if (isText _cfg) exitWith { getText _cfg };
if (isArray _cfg) exitWith { getArray _cfg };
if (isClass _cfg) exitWith {
{
private _subset = _hashCurrent select 1;
private _return = [_x] call _fnc_recurse;
} forEach (configProperties [_cfg, "true", true]);
nil
};
nil;
};
ignore inheritance.. I can only do what SQF can do. Can SQF ignore Inheritance?
little eagle
configProperties can
austere granite
yes, but not directly
little eagle
I mean, I can turn this into a macro.
little eagle
All I'm saying is, that dedmen can therefore turn this into a function with the limitations he has.
still forum
Intercept would do the same as the macro. But in one command.. and thus alot faster
little eagle
Yep.
austere granite
ah okay. Anyway @still forum the vanilla config viewer shows is a config value is specified in that scope or if it's inherited by indentation
As an example
little eagle
The ignoreInheritance parameter would work the same as the ignoreInheritance parameter does in configProperties.
still forum
default getNumber config
or getNumber [config,default]
little eagle
array version, so you can add more parameters.
ignoreInheritance being optional and defaulting to false.

the combined config get would be nice though. getConfigValue (aka don't care what it is, just return it)
little eagle
2 things. Do away with the "With" and write out "Def" as Default.
And getNumber actually works on STRING entires, but isNumber reports false.
So you need isText and isNumber.
still forum
GG compare_case_sensitive does case insensitive compare... WTF.. I code too much when tired
austere granite
dunno if this makes sense, but ```sqf
params [["_code", {}, [{}, ""]]];
if (_code isEqualType {}) exitWith { _code };
if !(_code isEqualType "") exitWith { { false } };
private _function = uiNamespace getVariable _code;
if (!(isNil "_function") && { _function isEqualType {} }) exitWith {
_function
};
_code = compile _code;
_code;
Actually.. it compares case_sensitive on linux and insensitive on windows
austere granite
aka give a string, if it's a function get that, otherwise compile it

Refresh me, what is OFPEC?
still forum
tag_name
little eagle
MyTag_varName
still forum
tag is called OFPEC tag
subtle ore
Wait wtf? Why wouldn't people do that?
jade abyss
exactly, Adanteh.
still forum
because some people think their scripts are the only scripts that run in the game
little eagle
Lazy. The real question is why people bother naming them fn_blah or fnc_blah though.
austere granite
Someone should make something for that
like something you could use that takes care of prefixing
and adds module names too
And then does it a lot
little eagle
GVAR π
zenith totem
Modules you can keep track of internally
Everything after tag_ should be yours anyway
little eagle
GVARMAIN then
austere granite
increment would a b nice one
jade abyss
+=
austere granite
LOL
still forum
to get some Emoji into it

+= best
still forum
++number would return the number.
+= still not possible
still forum
so you do _number = ++_number instead of _number = _number +1;
guess that doesn't really make it better
jade abyss
bla bla bla excuse bla bla mimimi blablabla
Do it!
austere granite
no
still forum
missionNamespace setIfNil ["varName", {code}] ?
little eagle
++_number
This currently is the same as
_number
You might break something with this.
still forum
instead of the endless if isNil _var then _var = x

*IfNilSet

How are you adding commands anyway

no
rancid ruin
wow you guys are still at it
little eagle
Do it. I wonder if it should report the size of the array afterwards or just 0.
rancid ruin
carry on at this rate and you'll have fixed arma 3 by morning
little eagle
Not unless addClassEventHandler is implemented.

still boring

game_value pushFront(game_value left_arg, game_value right_arg) {
auto& arr = left_arg.to_array();
arr.emplace(arr.begin(), right_arg);
return {};
}
game_value pushFrontUnique(game_value left_arg, game_value right_arg) {
auto& arr = left_arg.to_array();
if (arr.find(right_arg) == arr.end()) arr.emplace(arr.begin(), right_arg);
return {};
}
Just return nil now.
I guess pushFrontUnique could return bool
added something or didn't
does that now.
