Yeah. But, Morally? Why?
astral tendon
Do players get a diferent variable when they are JIP?
sems like enableFatigue does not like JIP
even on a event handle
subtle ore
I wouldn't expect it to
because once you disconnect, it gets rid of any object variables set on the player
hence the point of DB's and data saving scripts
jade abyss
hm... if the Unit (that the player owned before) won't get deleted, after he disconnected it should still be there.
subtle ore
iirc it gets deleted anyways
jade abyss
Not sure, it's a while since i did anything in A3
astral tendon
so, how do i apply that to the new unit?
jade abyss
initPlayerLocal.sqf
jade abyss
OnPlayerConnect EH (or what it was called)
subtle ore
EH would be removed on disconnect?
jade abyss
As i said: Many ways possible
astral tendon
what one works for jip?
jade abyss

have you thought about: Putting the Code you execute in the 3 if's into on "if"?
Like:
if(blablub)then{DoThisTo Group1; DoThisTo Group2; DoThisTo Group3;};
?
(i am especially not starting with forEach atm)
subtle ore
Just tested that variable on player disconnect, looks like everything is saved specifically for each individual player slot (objects)
That's with the AI enabled to replace player upon disconnect
and it's set to persistant on server
astral tendon
no, never saw this example in Wiki
subtle ore
So it could be just the AI inheriting the variables, since it technically doesn't belong to the player until they take over the unit correct?
jade abyss
Until Owner changes (gets possesed by a player)... hmm... yeah, could be true
astral tendon
well thanks, i will save this exemple
jade abyss
Still: Stick to basic stuff first, otherwise you won't get far (if, forEach, spawn, call, declaring Variables, etc)

Does that still make you stand up if you use it when prone? ๐
i remember that used to be the case. Rather than going "Hey there is no weapon lower for prone, so i'll just do nothing" it would make you stand up, then lower the weapon

Well, you can't lower your weapon when prone, so probably.
It's the same when you hit the lower weapon key while prone. You'll kneel iirc.

is it possible to programatically force AI to shoot a GL grenade through a selected window of a house?

@meager granite if i remember correctly at one time you were looking at a setPosLocal type function, any luck with that?
Or anyone else for that matter
meager granite
It can only be done through hacky approaches
Create local entity, attach remote entity to it and by moving local vehicle you will move remote entity without sending any updates over the network
austere granite
i'm fine with that
meager granite
attach would not be sent over network too as one of the vehicles is not global
austere granite
If you then detach it would the position update, or would i have to detach, then call a normal setPos?
meager granite
it would revert to whatever is received from the server
austere granite
so getpos, detach, update pos to the getpos var and it would work okay?
basically i wanna have local moving, then "commit" it
meager granite
you wil need to do setPos right after detach so it would update it everywhere
austere granite
yep got it. Nice, thanks ๐
on that, what is the most reliable way to attach an object, but keeping it in the same location? I remermber in the past i had some problems there with the height coordinate being different (middle of bounding? waves.. whatever it was)

Try setPosWorld getPosWorld and then attach?
Probably depends on object you're attaching to
Just do a test, it should be easy to figure out

@astral tendon deleteGroupWhenEmpty is very handy command for having the engine delete groups.
Instead of having sqf code delete groups, were you got to

Having a flag to say you can delete this group when empty is alot better imo. Makes it easier to reuse groups & not worry if engine deleted

a single cfgFunctions.hpp would be seperated into proceedures
and functions anything called via spawn is a proceedure
anything that is "called"
is a function.
Thats how I seperate my code.

execVM'd
spawn'd

call

is there a smart way to check if a trigger is present on a mod map or visualize the trigger to see if its "there" ?

you can use markers. loop through all triggers, create marker for each, set size, set colour according to if the trigger is active, etc
tough abyss
@still forum sorry if im randomly tagging you, but i heard Intercept was faster than SQF is that correct (just the raw engine itself). Is there any overhead?
hollow lantern
okay well the thing is that I'm certainly sure that the terrain is the cause why my trigger isn't firing. I'm a blufor soldier in a car but it doesn't work... https://i.imgur.com/OJmpfwD.png
isNull gatetrigger returns false
hmmm
robust hollow
i thought thisList was a list of units who met the conditions, so thisList in the condition itself would be an empty array?
still forum
@tough abyss Intercept is raw C++ basically instead of SQF that is compiled into a intermediary binary
Intercept has overhead.. But it's far lower than SQF's overhead
performance improvement depends on what you are doing.. But one of my examples had a theoretically 4300x speedup
hollow lantern
if I just use {side (driver _x) == west} count thisList > 0 as condition the gate opens instantly hmmm
still forum
Are you sure "Aebian" variable is defined?
hollow lantern
its my player name so it should be
still forum
So it's the variable of the unit you are in?
hollow lantern
but even if not the gate should just open when there is a blufor driver in the trigger
hollow lantern
there is no undefined variable
hollow lantern
the condition has a or statement so even if the driver != Aebian the other condition which is side (driver _x) == west should apply
tough abyss
@still forum tyvm
still forum
Yes.. But you said "but even if not" if Aebian is not defined then it would be script error
and I can't explain why else it would fail
hollow lantern
I never said that its not defined
hollow lantern
I meant that the driver is not Aebian
still forum
Did you check in debug console if Aebian variable is defined?
hollow lantern
I did isNull Aebian says false
still forum
Also that script would fail if no one joined your slot and it doesn't exist.
isNull != isNil
but isNull should error if the var is nil
try || {(driver _x) == Aebian}}
encase your second condition in {}
hollow lantern
hmm now its open all the time even if I'm not in the trigger. I guess I need to refine the condition to just return true when there is truly a land vehicle on the trigger. maybe do something with count (thisList unitsBelowHeight 2) > 0; and so one
still forum
can't you set the trigger height?
hollow lantern
my goal is that the trigger only fires up when there is something from side WEST in it and drives a vehicle

@meager granite lbsettextright does work and sets text to the right, InbSetTextRight if it were to work only sets invisible text on the right so you can still pull for data/scripts.. Basically a free variable on the object
tough abyss
SA mantra it was done so you could call compile the result. It also makes possible for extensions to parse the result properly when the quotations are escaped
meager granite
@torn juniper Yeah I was asking why lnb version didn't work while lb did
I guess displaying is not implemented yet or something
torn juniper
@meager granite It doesn't work as it doesn't display? Because all the lnb commands should all be invisible and only store data, if I read it all correctly. They shouldn't be visible at all. The only way you should be able to use them is pulling data not showing it
Thats why there is a visible and invisible version of each
Your statement confuses me is all, not sure if you are saying the command actually doesn't work or you just cant see it, if the second part then that is intended I am pretty sure ๐
meager granite
@tough abyss Wish they made a separate command then, all my stuff ending up with extra quotes is annoying as hell
tough abyss
Was done a good while ago
meager granite
So how do you get a string of array with string inside array without double quotes then?
copyToClipboard format ["%1", [format ["%1", ["test"]]]];
=> ["[""test""]"]
lone glade
use single quotes
meager granite
_string = "test"; copyToClipboard format ["%1", [format ["%1", [_string]]]];
lone glade
also format stringify whatever you pass to it
meager granite
Try using single quotes there
queen cargo
Str is to get the string Variant of a value
Those double quotes are because the string needs to be escaped that way...
If you want an unescaped Variant, use regex or simply to array, remove duplicates, to string
Fun though of the day: implementing regex in sqf
lone glade

still forum
Don't steal my thoughts!
meager granite
Custom-written arma engine, no less
Just because somebody wanted to copy-paste their arrays for code compile

Because str is not to wrap " around strings @meager granite
And a " in a string has to be displayed as "" in ALL representations to the user
meager granite
_string = "test"; copyToClipboard format ["%1", [format ["%1", [_string]]]];
Where is str there?
lone glade
format
queen cargo
Unless they are string
Do not get annoyed when the to string functions are stringifying strings
That is what they are supposed to do
meager granite
No, format isn't str, they changed whatever function was turning scripting types into string representation which is used when walking through array when turning it into string, instead of just changing str command itself.
queen cargo
@meager granite no...
Format is stringifying values unless they are string
meager granite
Gonna repharse, messed up when editing
tough abyss
Really not hard just escape the quotations
Before you hard worry about santiize user input, if it got saved to DB & retreived from DB later on.
With the change no longer need to worry about user input, unless its from a dialog text for some reason that doesn't escape quotations
Mainly the change allows for extensions to parse a stringified array correctly.
meager granite
I get why it was done, but the command itself should've been changed instead
Or new one introduced

๐คฆ ๐คฆ ๐คฆ
No
Stringification was broken

Not to mention that I have no idea what use one could have about not correctly escaping strings in their sqf representation...

Strings are text data, not "text-to-be-compiled-later" data. If you want to escape strings to be compilable, have a separate command for it.
queen cargo
So you are an idiot... Good to know

Likewise
queen cargo
Strings still are Text data

how would you unstringify
["test","te"st","te","st"] and get out test, te"st, te","st ? @meager granite
["test","te""st","te"",""st"] is easy and the engine already knows how to do that
tough abyss
Baseically that simple fix, allowed extensions to be alot more useable and more secure (before parseSimpleArray).
Also just checked the change was done over a year ago. v1.64
So no point arguing over it
meager granite
str command was always a way to turn any data type into a string, it was never meant to escape quotes before. Right now not only it changed its behavior but also entire string to string conversion changed resulting in this escaping happening in other string related commands.
tough abyss
Also all commands you should be able to reverse it.
meager granite
I understand how it benefits extensions and parsing of arrays, but the change should have only affected str command only, or was made into separate command.
queen cargo
@meager granite that is simply incorrect
meager granite
Did you see command description? "Converts any variable to a string."
queen cargo
They fixed exactly that
Turning any datatype into a string
meager granite
That's it. Not "escapes string" or "makes string compilable".
queen cargo
Guess what? If you want to stringify a string, you have to escape what needs escaping
meager granite
The change affects all string to string conversions, not just str command
In case you still didn't get it
tough abyss
It doesn't effect all commands ๐ Just most of them
tough abyss
Regardless its correct behaviour now
queen cargo
Here
Take this
Has nice example of stringification
meager granite
It wasn't, string to string conversion simply added additional quotes, that's it. It never meant to escape quotes for it to be a bug.
It never meant to make string compilable either
tough abyss
Honestly its not gonna change now. Everyone has tweaked any code they need to.
Anyway i got stuff todo, than debate about a year old change in arma ๐
queen cargo
String version of a string is the string but escaped
meager granite
Can you read? What does command description say?
tough abyss
Converts any value into a string by placing " and " around the argument. Since Arma 3 v1.63.137891 this command will correctly escape all " inside a string:
meager granite
"Converts any variable to a string."
This is its original purpose, there is no "bug" in it not escaping string, it simply turns any data type into string.
queen cargo
You remind me of that duck guy that did not wanted to alter his code and told all answers presented to him have been wrong
tough abyss
Its still a string, just the quotations are escaped now.
Its still a string
Honestly arma modelers / terrain people have more to complain about updates breaking stuff.
queen cargo
Converting string to string is not by just putting " around it... You also need to escape the string
Accept that this is the common way in the whole it world

Additional quotes shouldn't have been there in a first place
But you call lack of escaped quotes a bug

The code block from event handlers is executed in a different script instance. Therefore no local variables carry over. It's difficult to understand for beginners. One of the worst things about sqf honestly.

(findDisplay 46) displayRemoveAllEventHandlers "KeyDown";
is a terrible idea

Yeah, that will break about every mod. Guess it doesn't matter if it's just for your vanilla mission.

You should look into how the addEventHandler function passes an ID that can be used with removeEventHandler (not All).
Or just don't ever remove the eventhandlers. Imo you about never need to actually remove them if you instead add some exitWith in their line 1. Which is much cleaner even though some noob here will disagree.
