playerSide reports what side you picked in the lobby and therefore works independently from you having an avatar or not.
#arma3_scripting

condition (Optional): String - script code that must return true for the action to be shown. Special variables passed to the script code are _target (object to which action is attached to) and _this (caller/executing person). Default value: "true"
instead of those nasty if statements.
little eagle
I wish the wiki had an example with all the (default) parameters so you could copy paste them.

How do I produce a script that makes if (side player == west) then {car1 addAction ["Impound Vehicle", {deleteVehicle car1}];};
dynamic for all vehicles?
little eagle
It only has examples with like the first 3 parameters.
subtle ore
drops to floor in defeat
little eagle
Don't you have to be 16 to play this game or something like that?
little eagle
playerSide defaults to west for JIP players early on during initialization regardless of their side.
I hate this game.

@little eagle Im learning how to script, I am actually 16 :p

Renegades.
subtle ore
Yeah. Why, Commy.

I said "maybe".
Better mention it than having people be confused later why it won't work.

Maybe BI should model the Enfusion AI to fit commy's overthinking layout.

advanced ballistics or medical in scheduled would be a fun comparison
subtle ore
hey just because you like your swirly icons at a blistering 2,000 fps doesn't mean it's okay alganthe
little eagle
It wouldn't work. But having it converted to scheduled by someone who has no idea what he's doing wouldn't work out either for that mission.
The idea is to have as little SQF run at any time. If you just do all the loops in unscheduled, you achieve nothing. But Quiksilver already said that he's not interested in honesty and is just trolling so w/e.
He can't stop himself. The worst kind of triggered troll there is.
subtle ore
The politics channel is even worse, but we don't speak of that here.

I value honesty over a feigned politeness, so someone had to say it, Quiksilver.

Why not use this instead of reinventing the wheel every time. He already said he has it.

what eew? also, no tag in that EH?

@little eagle Thanks 😄
subtle ore
Commy is just jealous
little eagle
Of what? Sorry I may have missed some messages while typing the script.
subtle ore

little eagle
OK. The day BI adds entityCreated, I'll never use this function. Happy?
hollow bay
but if i do```["Car", "init", {
params ["_car"];
_car addAction ["Impound Vehicle", {deleteVehicle _car}];};
}, nil, nil, true] call CBA_fnc_addClassEventHandler;``` wouldnt it delete all vehicles?
Or not
little eagle
Change
{deleteVehicle car1}
to
{deleteVehicle (_this select 0)}
little eagle
So it deletes the vehicle the action is attached to.

Change this line:

to
_car addAction ["Impound Vehicle", {deleteVehicle (_this select 0)}];
The }; at the end is too much.
little eagle
Yes.
hollow bay
@little eagle That is using cursorTarget no?
lone glade
yes, can't remember where tho
little eagle
No, (_this select 0) is always the object the action belongs to.
So it will always delete whatever car it was without having to add any names to it.

how do I set the brackets?

If there's another one, but with the old name, then you must've forgotten it somewhere.

@little eagle Okay thats odd, I am using the exact mission folder and putting it in to my dedi... and it i did change it to Impound Vehicle 2 and im still getting 2 actions.
when i put it in my local desktop it only shows one

They're both named Impound Vehicle 2, right?

Yes.

It is fixed :d
@little eagle Sorry for being greedy, is there a way to delete the action under the condition player is not in a vehicle?
Delete the action if player is in a vehicle
@tough abyss Yup
little eagle
addAction ["action name", {

This essentially.
Yeah, that'd work, especially now that you have to be inside the vehicle.
No need for cursorTarget
Guess the bad thing is that it checks to condition every frame.

probably yes, the game isn't fun yet but the tech is coming along
lone glade
well, let's check steam stats shall we?
it's quite good tbh
arma 3 is about 16K average
then don't buy it, have you seen the "buy" page on steam?
there's warnings absolutely everywhere
little eagle
Arma 3 way of early release was fine.
But who will play DayZ once it's actually 1.0 "finished".
By then all interest is lost.
tough abyss
Depends how much modding support / stable it is when they release the modding tools & server files (apparently during the beta sometime).
timber ridge
@tough abyss yeh, if modding allows proper reskinning etc., I'm sure many will be interested in playing a seasonal or just winter Chernarus. I think I would.
another thing - I'd like to them to release a completely new map and maybe incentivize its exploration by never providing a full detailed map to the player, so the player can only find cop-outs and even by collecting them all the map image will never be completed and you'll have to memorize some parts by yourself.
rancid ruin
i like that idea but someone would just put a web map up eventually and everyone would use that
timber ridge
that's true, having a web map in this case would bring lots of traffic to the website, but I guess some would just prefer to play it hardcore mode. I have a group of 4 people and we've talked this through and we'd very interested in playing on a map which is not 100% known and may never will be, if you don't "cheat"
it'd be an interesting experience to connect the drawn parts inbetween with what you've memorized yourself
astral tendon
can some one put a note on this page saying that the enginner cannot defuse explosives and only the explosiveSpecialist?

explosiveSpecialist required iirc
scratch that, engineers can defuse too
I added a note on there in case of confusion I guess

explosives not mines

enginner cannot remove explosives like C4

i am using RHS charge packs

However
IEDS don't seem to be able to be defused by anyone

positive man
Err..
wtf
so without setting traits..
i can defuse
but if I force it to false
then it doesn't do anything
wtf
astral tendon
i put more images
subtle ore
@astral tendon Alright, thanks for that. i'll change the note.
astral tendon
maybe that sohuld get a ticket too, i dont think it is supouse to work that way.
subtle ore
@astral tendon Maybe, maybe not. But as it stands right now, only explosive specialists can defuse mines then
this is freaking wacky though man
default unit without any traits set inherit the abilities to defuse mines
but once you go to set them, then it seems to go all hay wire
astral tendon
yes, thats strange to me to, i would like to give a medic or other icon to the unit with a set of traits
like the machine gunner with a MG unit icon
but he keeps geting called rifleman
astral tendon
both
subtle ore
icons, look at the ui_f pbo, names set them in the playable unit's role description in the editor
astral tendon
to make they be called something else i need to borrow a unit from other team
astral tendon
yes
astral tendon
and that icon?
astral tendon
the unit icon on the map
subtle ore
config based as well iirc, not too sure on that one
never really worked with the insides of those classes, but I know the name is reliant on displayName
astral tendon
did not find about that "displayName" on wiki
but i already find another work around, dont need to mind it.
still forum
@little eagle I tested replacing all ; with , doesn't do anything.
The instruction is essentially a "end of statement" That clears the stack afer each statement. For example after a call there is the returned variable on the stack. So to clear it it add's that clear instruction.
CODE blocks are strings&compiled code. Not just string. I could theoretically go into them.. But on Instruction level they are constants. same as strings, numbers n stuff. And if I recurse into them.. I can create endless recursion.
@icy raft Everything in SQF is by reference.

You can probably get the position of the hitpoint

But if you want to take the rotation of the wheel into account youll have to attachTo some helper object and then get a relative position from that.
waxen cosmos
Hi Chaps, tryna switch off certain types of lights by setting hit damage in the init, unfortunately I'm not quite understanding how to make the getAllHitPointsDamage arrray functional:
{
for "_i" from 0 to count getAllHitPointsDamage _x - 1 do
{
_x setHitIndex [_i, 0.97];
};
}
forEach
[
"Land_PortableLight_single_F",
"Land_PortableLight_double_F",
"PowerLines_Ssmall_base_F"
];
little eagle
getAllHitPointsDamage is fine. But you use this on classnames. setHitIndex requires OBJECT. So you need a nearestTerrainObjects somewhere in this.
cedar kindle
pretty sure you can just do setDamage instead of hitpoints?
still forum
As always.. Being able to read really helps: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setHitIndex https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/getAllHitPointsDamage
waxen cosmos
With lights if you do SetDamage they fall over :/
I would use specifically setindex but I couldn't fit the hitareas in the CFG
cedar kindle
0.95 should have them stand up, turned off
setting it to 0 again will turn it back on
at least that worked for me once

The debug console should be changed to properly serialize this stuff.
waxen cosmos
I've probably got this all wrong, but I'm using my begginers logic sense. I'm trying to add a HoldAddAction to all generators across the map:
Would the magic variable _x follow through to the 'then' or doe's it stay within the if() ? If not would I need to use '(_this select 0) ?
{
if (_x isEqualTo "Land_Portable_generator_F") then
{[
_x,
"Pump Generator",
"\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\holdAction_search_ca.paa",
"\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\holdAction_search_ca.paa",
"(alive _target) && ((_this distance _target) < 3)",
"_caller distance _target < 3",
{},
{},
{execvm "Fncs_Ambient\LightSwitchOn.sqf"},
{},
[],
10,
6,
false,
false
] remoteExec ["BIS_fnc_holdActionAdd", -2, _x];}
forEach (allMissionObjects "Land_PortableLight_single_F");
little eagle
allMissionObjects won't list map placed objects, only mission placed objects. You need nearestTerrainObjects for this as I already told you.
{
if (_x isEqualTo "Land_Portable_generator_F") then {
[
_x,
"Pump Generator",
"\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\holdAction_search_ca.paa",
"\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\holdAction_search_ca.paa",
"(alive _target) && ((_this distance _target) < 3)",
"_caller distance _target < 3",
{},
{},
{execvm "Fncs_Ambient\LightSwitchOn.sqf"},
{},
[],
10,
6,
false,
false
] remoteExec ["BIS_fnc_holdActionAdd", -2, _x];
????
} forEach (allMissionObjects "Land_PortableLight_single_F");
The indentation is really bad. Hard to read the code. Here it's fixed. As you can see, there's a missing closing bracket. Totally not functional.
allMissionObjects would report OBJECTs. OBJECT are never equal to STRING.
Dunno about BIS_fnc_holdActionAdd, but remoteExec in a loop with so many objects will probably cause lag whenever someone connects.
remoteExec wants a boolean as 3rd argument in the rhs array. You have OBJECT?
Pretty sure adding actions to map objects doesn't work anyway. Better off adding one to the player using cursorObject.

Ok Commy, That is a thought cursor object. Sorry the copy and pasting was a mare due to my added notes will endeavour to keep it clean. Thank you for the help, I'll test some more and let you know what works

i have a problem that all triggers fire at once when a JIP player join in the midle of the game
(of course only for the JIP)
and the triggers already got fired once by other player
in my case those triggers are to execute a audio from the plot in my mission, and they all play at once
subtle ore
@astral tendon of course, it's going to be evaluated when a player joins

i tryed to make the trigger deleat it self on the deactivation but it still exist
is there other way around it?

Don't use triggers
noble pond
triggers are a big ol gongshow.
they can be speedy because they are built in c++ but otherwise they are a mess
deleting and making them is a bit tricky, better to do whatever you want via script

do it all by script.
@astral tendon

ok, my situation is that i need audos do be played in cetain points in the mission
once they are in one particualry area, once a area have no enemys, and once one ting or another dies
what i can use instead?
i hear that scipts that runs every time also kills perfomace in the same way was triggers
like a loop trigger

Yes of course it's performance friendly
more than triggers
obviously running a loop in unscheduled is retarded
and that is what a lot of people fail to realize

class CfgMods //sources - ["A3_Data_F","A3_Language_F_Beta","A3_Language_F_Gamma","A3_Language_F_EPA","A3_Language_F_EPB","A3_Language_F_EPC","A3_Data_F_Curator","A3_Data_F_Kart","A3_Data_F_Heli","A3_Data_F_Mark","A3_Data_F_Exp","A3_Data_F_Jets","A3_Data_F_Argo","A3_Data_F_Orange"]
{
defaultAction = "";
class Mod_Base; //sources - ["A3_Data_F"]
class Expansion: Mod_Base //inherits 12 parameters from bin\config.bin/CfgMods/Mod_Base, sources - ["A3_Data_F_Exp"]
{
[...]
appId = 395180;
[...]
class Assets //sources - ["A3_Data_F_Exp"]
{
class TanoaTerrain //sources - ["A3_Data_F_Exp"]
{
displayName = "Tanoa Terrain";
overviewPicture = "\A3\Data_F_Exp\Images\FeatureTanoaTerrain_co.paa";
description = "Walk, swim, drive, fly, and sail your way across the brand new South Pacific island terrain.";
dlcType = "expansion";
};
class WeaponAK12 //sources - ["A3_Data_F_Exp"]
{
reference[] = {"CfgWeapons", "arifle_AK12_F"};
overviewPicture = "\A3\Data_F_Exp\Images\WeaponAK12_ca.paa";
tryAsset[] = {0, {"I_C_Soldier_Para_1_F", {"arifle_AK12_F"}}, ""};
dlcType = "expansion";
};
And this is how the game determines which weapon belongs to which item.
meager granite
Yeah I've seen this structure in config but thought it was mainly used for DLC info displays and promotional menus
Thanks, it all makes sense now.

Does anyone remember in which PBO the code for the mount/dismount addAction from ACE2 was?
little eagle
I don't remember a mount/dismount addAction aside from eject left/right when inside a helicopter.
tough abyss
Probably that one.
little eagle
Why? We'll have this in ACE3 now in 3.11
tough abyss
I'm researching something...
little eagle
ACE2 code is really ugly.
tough abyss
Indubitably.

I'm away from my main dev PC, does anyone know if Arma 3 accept binary notation? ( 0b00000001, 0b00000010, 0b00000011...)

lone glade
what's the float limit again before they're rounded, 9 ?
little eagle
somewhere above 1E7

@lone glade you mean non-decimal numbers?
-16777215, 16777215 is the integer range you can store in float with 100% precision
frank ruin
Can I make listbox not be able to select items in it?
hidden field
@icy raft arma accepts hexadecimal (0xaf01) but it will be converted to a number (also 24bit max!)
@frank ruin like having a list but the player can't select something?
if you don't want to disable the listbox just set the select colors the same as if not selected (aka colorselect/2 = text color and selectBackground/2 = background color)
frank ruin
The issue is
When I have 2 of them selected
It act bit jinky
Like the script has troubles with interacting with 2 selected listboxes
Even when I mentioned it has to take the selected lines in listbox 1
If I selected something in listbox 2
it doesn't execute straight away
I have to reselect listbox1 in order to confirm kind of
Cause it selects listbox2 being more selected then listbox1 being selected
So I would like to make listbox2 not being able to be selected
So it doesn't interrupt with listbox1
tough abyss
Assuming I have the following script
#include "script_component.hpp"
private _objList = [];
{
_objList pushBack _x;
} forEach nearEntities [player, ["Tank", "Car", "Ship", "Helicopter", "Plane", "StaticWeapon", "CAManBase"], 50];
hint format ["%1", _objList];
``` And it returns ```
[B Alpha 1-1:1 (Neviothr),B Alpha 1-3:1]
Is there a way to use the array in order to execute code on a certain element from it? I.E ```
B Alpha 1-3:1 setDamage 1
(which obviously doesn't work).anyone know if I can look up the return of "surfaceType" somewhere in the config to get more information about the kind of surface ?
never messed around with those
@tough abyss forEach should be good enough for that, no ?
or apply
depending on what you want to do
and if you're looking for active objects then maye using "allUnits" would be better than nearEntities
since nearEntities also returns dead or destroyed ones
and is generally slower
tough abyss
I don't need every unit, all ones in a certain radius.
cunning nebula
you dont understand
allUnits can be filtered
but nearEntities returns more than you might want
tough abyss
The question is - can I adress a nameless unit remotely?
cunning nebula
sure
but the real question is
what do you want to do there
_unitsnearby = allUnits inAreaArray [getPosATL player, 50, 50];
I'm not sure how to explain the purpose, really.
cunning nebula
you want to run code on certain units but i dont know which ones and for what purpose
tough abyss
Exactly.
cunning nebula
the types ob units / objets you want determine which command is best used to find them
tough abyss
Can be any unit, and any code.
cunning nebula
thats pretty vague
indigo snow
_unit = _array select 0; doCodeWith _unit; ???
tough abyss
@cunning nebula - let's say I'm in a SP or MP mission (which I can't edit), and there's a bug. A mission-critical unit, vehicle, etc. is damaged. How can I get the name or variable, if assigned, of that unit so I can manipulate it.
jade abyss
anyone know if I can look up the return of "surfaceType" somewhere in the config to get more information about the kind of surface ?
never messed around with those```
What kind of Information?any information really 😛 i dont know how much there is
tough abyss
Hmm, I thought about using cursorTarget. But does it have a distance limit?
tough abyss
Like ```SQF
if (cursorTarget == objNull) then {
// Run some code on current player
} else {
// Run some code on target
};
isNull cursorTarget
tough abyss
The target has to be known to the player to some degree (knowsAbout > 0). If target is completely unknown, command returns objNull.
```?cursorObject > cursorTarget
Fresh spawned Vehicle on a Server for example might take time, until "your pawn" knows about it, even when you can clearly see it
tough abyss
That's an issue.
jade abyss
Thats "normal", since: always
CursorObject should detect it from the moment it's there
@cunning nebula
_Surface = (surfaceType position player) select [1,100];
_CfgEntry = getText(configfile >> "CfgSurfaces" >> _Surface >> "files");```
Exampleif you do it from the debug console you can simply put typeOf cursorTarget in one of the debug lines
or whatever else information you need
ah, great
so they are in the config
thanks
tough abyss
I'm assuming cursorObjectalso doesn't have a distance limit?
jade abyss
Why do you need a Distance?
cunning nebula
if your aiming for units, then cursorTarget is better
jade abyss
+wasn't cursortarget ~2k?
cunning nebula
it doesnt pick up clutter
jade abyss
Or was that LineIntersectObject ... hmm
tough abyss
@jade abyss - I need distance because if I want he script to be "dual-purpose" if you will. As I posted above ```SQF
if (cursorTarget == objNull) then {
// Run some code on current player
} else {
// Run some code on target
};
so they are in the config```
Yeah, it's basicly just the config name what you get... but... yeah, thats it. Not more.ISNULL
tough abyss
Yeah I got that.
jade abyss
if (isNull cursorTarget) then {```
....I'll try that, thanks. If it doesn't fit the bill I can always add a distance check, make sure cursorTarget's return is closer than 5, 10, 50m.
jade abyss
Thats what you should do anyway
Why do you need to check for something thats >50m away?
Or even 20 oO
tough abyss
I just gave arbitrary numbers.
little eagle
I think you mean.
if (local cursorTarget) then {
there is also "allPlayers" if you're aming for someone specific
jade abyss
Where?
tough abyss
@cunning nebula - doesn't have to be used on players, could be an empty vehicle.
cunning nebula
well, i still dont get the point
jade abyss
Same ¯_(ツ)_/¯
cunning nebula
if youre in the debug its up to you what you run it on
little eagle
Anyway, this one will always report false:
if (cursorTarget == objNull) then {
Because
objNull == objNull // false
jade abyss
Dude... stop deleting your answers... damn... thats annoying
little eagle
Who?
jade abyss
Nevi
tough abyss
There there ```
// Run some code on current player
} else {
// Run some code on target
private _target = cursorTarget;
if (isNull _target) then {
_target = player;
};
I guess this ^ code also makes sense. I don't really know what the result should be.
tough abyss
Sorry.
jade abyss
The thing is, he wants to check for something >50 or above... So his code could execute even if he looks at a house or... anything
And since he doesn't say, what he want's to achieve with it -> limited help
little eagle
cursorTarget doesn't work on map objects like hosues. It will report null for those.
tough abyss
@jade abyss - "[3:49 PM] Neviothr: I just gave arbitrary numbers."
jade abyss
Erm, nope? @little eagle
little eagle
You're thinking of cursorObject maybe. cursorTarget only works on vehicles and soldiers and stuff like that. Mission objects.
jade abyss
Not working with Trees, thats correct. But houses work

Hmm.

This sounds to me like something about MP remote objects. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
tough abyss
By "target" I meant whatever's under the cursor.
jade abyss
works even without locality 😛
little eagle
So you mean run "for" target?
Because "on" sounds like you want to remote execute stuff on a different machine.
jade abyss
gj repeating what i just wrote 😂
Because i can =}
(fighting with Vector stuff, always angry when doing that crap)
tough abyss
This probably should do it ```SQF
if ((player) distance (cursorObject) < 2) then {
cursorObject setFuel 1;
} else {
vehicle player setFuel 1;
};
Won't work without locality Check + damn
lone glade
dem round brackets
tough abyss
Exactly why do I need a locality check here?
jade abyss
if ((player) distance (cursorObject) < 2)
->
if ((player distance cursorObject) < 2)
check setFuel
It only works, when the Vehicle is local to you
lone glade
because setFuel is AL EG
jade abyss
tough abyss
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
cunning nebula
@tough abyss try this
_target = [cursorTarget,player] select isNull cursorTarget;
Now you have to check if it's local and if a driver is in it, then you have to send that over to the owner OR set the ownership of that Veh to you
tough abyss
I fucking hate MP.

cunning nebula
just make sure any command you send is executed where the targeted object is local and you're safe, for the most part
tough abyss
Thanks @cunning nebula.
jade abyss
if(local _CTarget) then { setFuel Command}
else
{
_CTarget remoteExecCall ["SetFuelFunctionOnTheServer"];
};
remoteExec takes nearly anything as target dude
jade abyss
SetFuelFunctionOnTheServer =
{
[1] remoteExecCall ["SetFuel",owner _this];
};```
Or something like thatWhat I like the most is that I played MP once, yet try to make this thing MP compatible.
jade abyss
But you can't get the owner of a Vehicle from Clientside @lone glade
Or was that changed?
little eagle
[_target, 1] remoteExec ["setFuel", _target];
filter targets via aimedAtTarget ?
subtle ore
iirc doesn't aimedAtTarget return accuracy?
or how well it's aligned with the target?
little eagle
The idea is that you're shooting at it if it's aimed at enough.
subtle ore
🤔
cunning nebula
pick the first one
thats most likely what hes shooting
but maybe checking aimedAt is faster, hard to tell
subtle ore
"most likely" 😐
little eagle
inAreaArray filter with a rotated rectangle in weapon direction and then using that sub array sort method to get the object that the weapon is aligned with the most.
cunning nebula
just tried targetsQuery on the local player
it lists the target im aiming at first
tough abyss
Something seems fishy, this can't be it ```SQF
_target = [cursorTarget, player] select isNull cursorTarget;
[_target, 1] remoteExec ["setFuel", _target];
Read what i worte about Owners Nevi
tough abyss
[4:07 PM] Dscha: But you can't get the owner of a Vehicle from Clientside @alganthe
[4:07 PM] Dscha: Or was that changed?
(the setFuel part)
little eagle
Why wouldn't this work? It looks perfectly fine to me.
Aside from `player´ never being a vehicle and therefore never using fuel.
tough abyss
Idk, you guys wrote it 😂
jade abyss
So remoteExec ignores the locality of an Object?
little eagle
What?
cunning nebula
just because "owner" is restricted, doesnt mean remoteExec also is
little eagle
^
cunning nebula
would be stuipid if it was
little eagle
All remoteExec are send to the server anyway. The server knows which machine it to send to.
jade abyss
Don't ask about sense
tough abyss
@little eagle - well , vehicle player? I guess?
jade abyss
rgr that
little eagle
Sure.
jade abyss
Then Code should work
cunning nebula
it seems like it does
tough abyss
I'm going to assume it would work with setDamage and setAmmo as well.
jade abyss

If it runs Arma, you can run a Dedi in the BG. Nobody said it must be filled with x000 Players/Units

tough abyss
@jade abyss - "+Excuses, excuses, excuses" is my life in a nutshell, but that's for another channel.
cunning nebula
@tough abyss ok, maybe i was wrong
when i tested it, i was standing between those targets
so i had to look in different directions
it doesnt work well when I'm some distance away and they stand close together
i guess in that case it returns the closest one or something like that
jade abyss
I used it for that: (sadly only doable when you know the path inside the .pbo to the .paa)

is there any particular difference between using BIS_fnc_addStackedEventHandler VS addMissionEventHandler for "PlayerConnected" and other mission-related events?
cunning nebula
but damn, using surface texture is even better 😃
little eagle
Won't this turn black if there are multiple of these next to each other?
cunning nebula
yes probably
little eagle
addMissionEventHandler is newer and better.

Yeah, downside: You have to find out the path of the Tex on your own and adjust it for every fkn island 😦

So I tried what we we're doing earlier, setVehicleAmmo and setFuel don't work in the context on that script 😕
Well, sorta. setFuel works if you're look at the vehicle (it will be refueled), if you're in a vehicle while looking at a vehicle (the vehicle you're looking at will be refueled). Although it won't refuel the player's vehicle.
little eagle
cursorTarget?
tough abyss
Yes.
tough abyss
Yeah but isn't this supposed to set _target to vehicle player if you're not looking at another vehicle? _target = [cursorTarget, vehicle player] select isNull cursorTarget
little eagle
Yes, but you probably looked at something.
tough abyss
Nope.
little eagle
Debug console, cursorTarget.
tough abyss
objNull, tested while setting in an ATV.
jade abyss
Didn't cursorTarget from inside a Veh always returns the Veh you are in?
Can't remember anymore
little eagle
No?
tough abyss
cursorObject is <NULL-object>, [cursorTarget, vehicle player] select isNull cursorTarget is B Alpha 1-1:1 (Neviothr).
Even if I look down right at the vehicle it's the same.
cunning nebula
hmmm just crashed arma two times in a row, seems like i'm doing something wrong xD
little eagle
right*
tough abyss
It's setVehicleAmmo that's broken. There are no rabbits on VR.
little eagle
Who knows.
tough abyss
setVehicleAmmo only replenishes the current magazine...

Yes.
Maybe you want setVehicleAmmoDef to restore the config state.

Hello all,
How can I fix this ?
player addAction ["SHOW SCORE",hint parseText format ["Score : <br/><t color='#0000FF'>BLUE</t> %1<br/><t color='#FF0000'>RED</t> %2<br/><br/>Flag Touch : <br/><t color='#0000FF'>BLUE</t> %3<br/><t color='#FF0000'>RED</t> %4", WScore, EScore, westtouch, easttouch]];
is doesn't work :S
their are so many options in addaction i get lost
tough abyss
@quartz coyote Wrap your code in brackets:
player addAction ["SHOW SCORE",
{
hint parseText format ["Score : <br/><t color='#0000FF'>BLUE</t> %1<br/><t color='#FF0000'>RED</t> %2<br/><br/>Flag Touch : <br/><t color='#0000FF'>BLUE</t> %3<br/><t color='#FF0000'>RED</t> %4", WScore, EScore, westtouch, easttouch]
}
];
addAction takes either "hint 'hello';" string or { hint "hello"; } code
Code is easier to manage and read, but string can be useful in some cases.
quartz coyote
thanks man
tough abyss
Can also use functions or call a script.
tough abyss
Guys:
holsterKeydown = (findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", "if ((_this select 1) isEqualTo 0x23) then {_nul = [] execVM 'Client\Functions\Externals\KeyFunctions\WeaponHolster.sqf'};"];
Right now our mission uses the script above to determine if you push your "H" key and then allow you to holster your weapon. How do I assign a custom key?
little eagle
@tough abyss By changing 0x23
Here's the list: https://gist.github.com/commy2/946de04d748c8e2894a0f581903988a5
tough abyss
i'm following...to what?
little eagle
I posted it.
tough abyss
k let me read
i think i know what you think I meant
I mean...in arma...there's a whole "custom controls" option
user action 1, user action 2, and so on
how do I tell the script to point to user action 3
so taht the player can pick his key
little eagle
That will not work. You can bind those to e.g. Alt+H and the alt modifier will make the actionKeys command report a number above the single floating point precision.
little eagle
(_this select 1) isEqualTo 0x23 && (_this select 3)
Or was it (_this select 4)
?
_display, _key, _shift, _control, _alt
4
4 it was, not 3
(_this select 1) isEqualTo 0x23 && (_this select 4)
The comments on this page more or less explain why it doesn't work with USERXX: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/actionKeys
Sucks, but that's how it is. It worked in A2, but I think they broke it when they moved to A3 and never bothered to remove them from the keybinding menu.
jade abyss
Or:
http://grueslayer.webs.com/Keystate.png
if((_this select 1) isEqualTo 17)then{hint "W was pressed"};```
or for CustomKeys:
if((_this select 1) in actionKeys 'User12')then```- @tough abyss
_ctrl = _this select 0;
_button = _this select 1;
_BtnShift = _this select 2;
_BtnCtrl = _this select 3;
_BtnAlt = _this select 4;```
Add something like that in the beginning of your file (or use params["_bla"] stuff, if you want to)Dscha, this breaks when you bind the action key to Alt+etc.
Did you even read what I wrote?
jade abyss
? oO
little eagle
actionKeys reports huge numbers for keys with modifiers.
little eagle
Not if you bind the user12 to alt+h itself
or shift+h
Left Ctrl + Key = 486539264 + DIK
Left Shift + Key = 704643072 + DIK
Left Alt + Key = 939524096 + DIK
Right Ctrl + Key = -1660944384 + DIK
Right Shift + Key = 905969664 + DIK
Right Alt + Key = -1207959552 + DIK
This has been broken for 4 years and you still haven't realized it lmao.
jade abyss
if(_button in actionKeys 'User11')then
{
if(_BtnCtrl)then
bla, using it
little eagle
You don't understand why this won't work, do you?
jade abyss
Dude... i used it in OBE (wich works)
little eagle
Open the menu right now and bind it to shift+something
little eagle
You'll see that it does not in fact not work.
jade abyss
Shift + the UserAction button
little eagle
Dude. If you bin User11 to alt+h.
Then actionKeys will report [hugeassnumber]
And hugeassnumber is not the DIK for whatever.
jade abyss
Who the F is doing that anyway
little eagle
Bind stuff to shift+anything? Everyone?
jade abyss
Not rly
jade abyss
if they bind it that way -> Pff, who cares. Bind it to single Buttons. I couldn't care less
little eagle
Right. Script stuff that only sometimes works. Great idea.
jade abyss
wait a sec
jade abyss
Nah, for a moment i thought i would have any interest in it.
tough abyss
@little eagle the 'broken' part your reffering to is related to code involving allowing the player to set custom binds with their controlls config -> keybinds , blah blah right? Not code involving just setting a function/etc to a specific dik code, that may or may not include shift alt modifiers correct?
little eagle
actionKeys is essentially unusable.
Everything with actionKeys will break when modifier keys are used.
Shift, control, alt.
Get used to it. No work arounds.
tough abyss
i have noticed at least with enhanced movement, many keys wont work- and shift or alt modifiers never work
little eagle
Yep. That's why you shouldn't use actionKeys as a scripter.

Commy, I'm adding an addaction to all opfor units, it as intended for placed units using if side = east in the init.

nope, just local to the player
_this would be everything thrown at it during executio
which atm is only the player variable
_unit select 0 selects the player unit from the spawn params array
what's the most confusing about this is that it was working perfectly a few days ago, and all of suddne it stopped working. Which isn't just because it feels like it, I did something wrong here...
little eagle
@subtle ore
[_this] spawn

_unit select 0 addEventHandler["Killed",
Should be:
_this spawn

_unit addEventHandler ["Killed",
addUniform is for persons. This will not work:
_box addUniform (uniform _unit);
Assuming that items etc. corresponds with the item needing addItemCargo etc. is very optimistic. I'm not sure that is always true.
{_box addWeaponCargo[_x,1];} forEach (weapons _unit);
{_box addMagazineCargo[_x,1];} forEach (magazines _unit);
{_box addItemCargo[_x,1];} forEach (items _unit);
unitBackpack reports OBJECT. addBackpackCargo needs the classname:
_box addBackpackCargo[(unitBackpack _unit),1];
You also needs the Global versions of these addXCargo commands. addXCargoGlobal.
Pretty sure that some of these could lock up the game. If the game locks up, no error message might be printed.
Oh:
createVehicle (getposATL _unit);
should be:
createVehicle ASLToAGL getPosASL _unit;
So this doesn't spawn the box in mid air on an aircraft carrier? Not sure if this createVehicle version doesn't spawn on the ocean floor anyway.

Hello Friends,
I'm encountering a weared situation. RPT file didn't give me any error and no error code ingame ether.
Description.ext
// Functions
class CfgFunctions
{
class Server {
tag = "ctf";
class functions {
file = "fnc\ctf";
class outro {};
class workflow {};
class timealerts {};
class scorereached {};
class prepphase {};
};
};
};```
initServer.sqf
```sqf
call ctf_fnc_workflow;
call ctf_fnc_scorereached;
call ctf_fnc_timealerts;
fn_scorereached.sqf
waitUntil {(ScoreP<10000 and ((WScore>=ScoreP) or (EScore>=ScoreP)))};
// Send End Status to allPlayers
TimeEnd=true;
publicVariable "TimeEnd";
hint parseText format ["Mission over<br/>Final Score : <br/><t color='#0000FF'>BLUE</t> %1<br/><t color='#FF0000'>RED</t> %2<br/><br/>Flag Touch : <br/><t color='#0000FF'>BLUE</t> %3<br/><t color='#FF0000'>RED</t> %4", WScore, EScore, westtouch, easttouch];
remoteexec ["ctf_fnc_outro"];
I tried putting a Hint "Test"; in th biggining of my function to see it was correctly executing but it never showed up ...

That's what I thought too... I'll try and tell ya if it fails
quartz coyote
Yes ! It works

@Midnight#4592 _unit will already contain _this. do you really want _this select 0?
And why do you spawn a piece of code that shouldn't be spawned.
subtle ore
@still forum originally i had sleeped a different part of the code,
@little eagle thanks for the feedback.
little eagle
Would be interesting to know which of these bugs causes a freeze. Because I don't see it.
subtle ore
Dunno. Going to root it out and see what the problem is.
little eagle
Comment almost everything out and then uncomment bit by bit until it freezes again.
Debugging Arma style.
little eagle
All you need is patience. You don't even have to use your brain that much doing it. I put myself in auto mode and just do it whenever I encoutner such a problem.
The creative thinking part is searching for an explanation afterwards.
subtle ore
Oh, i am very patient. I am just curious as to why i made so many mistakes in the first place, maybe i was sleepwalking whilst making this. Lol. I feel sometimes there isn't an explanation for everything and sqf is just what it id
little eagle
Eh, everyone makes mistakes. Just needs practice to make fewer of them.
subtle ore
🤷
little eagle
Why don't you try it and see if it works?
If it doesn't work then the code is not correct.
I don't think you can disable taking damage on map objects, but I can't remember the last time I tried something like this.
Syntax looks correct to me, but be aware that nearestBuilding only reports buildings with pathway lods for the persons etc.
So no streetlamps or some other small things like that.
What building are you using this on?
And it should be protected from artillery and other bombardment?
A radical solution would be to do a nearObjects scan every (?) frame and to delete everything resembling projectiles / ammunition.
That would make everything safe in there.
like 7 lines of code.
What's the base's positon and what should be the radius?
// init.sqf
if (isServer) then {
addMissionEventHandler ["EachFrame", {
{
if (_x isKindOf ["Default", configFile >> "CfgAmmo"]) then {
deleteVehicle _x;
};
} forEach (BASE_POSITION nearObjects SAFEZONE_RADIUS);
}];
};
- dunno if removing isServer is needed (if the code has to run everywhere)
- people will suggest using the scheduler, but then it becomes a gamble if the loop is quick enough to catch a quick projectile with a short flypath.
It has to be executed on the server. Doesn't matter which file or framework.
You can do it by debug console in the editor to check if it works. That's what I'd do first.
I don't have Arma installed on this machine, so I might've posted garbage. You should get the idea though.
somber solstice
guys, I have a question about BuildingPos. how many buildPositions I can create?
lone glade
what do you mean by create? you mean in the 3D model?
somber solstice
yep
lone glade
way more than you'll ever use
somber solstice
for example I can make 1000?
lone glade
don't know, but it's way above 50 at least
somber solstice
ok, ty bro
subtle ore
🤔 Not really a scripting question
ionic orchid
I wish find took an expression
little eagle
Uhm, how'd that work?
ionic orchid
like a select, but stop at the first result, I think
or return an array of matching indices
little eagle
So basically a shorter version of:
private _result = -1;
{
if (CONDITION) exitWith {
_result = _forEachIndex;
};
} forEach ARRAY;
?
subtle ore
my thoughts exactly ^
ionic orchid
yeah that'd be it
subtle ore
backtick.
not a single quote
` not '
hint "Hey kid, you like syntax highlighting?";
```sqf
code here <<<
```
subtle ore
^
little eagle
Each individually. Also, the code is fully encapsulated by {}, but it's never called?
subtle ore
Whats with all those positions in the foreach?
Near objects is only going to take one of those
little eagle
Yes. One position per nearObjects
Though, this works:
((POS_1 nearObjects 500) + (POS_2 nearObjects 500) + (POS_3 nearObjects 500) + (POS_4 nearObjects 500))
subtle ore
👍
what are you using as a text editor?
ytou're missing an ending bracket
you're missing a ] at the end of the addition
Yep
fix that
and I think you should be fine...?
Yep.
btw it should be something more like this
{
addMissionEventHandler ["EachFrame",
{
{
if (_x isKindOf ["Default", configFile >> "CfgAmmo"]) then
{
deleteVehicle _x;
};
} forEach (([14379.6,16139.4,5.34058e-005]nearObjects 500) + ([14808.6,16574.8,2.67029e-005]nearObjects 500) + ([15245.6,17253.1,3.43323e-005]nearObjects 500) + ([15415.1,17108.5,-0.000137329]nearObjects 500) + ([15248.4,16984.2,0.000112534]nearObjects 500)) ;
}];
};
I think you get the idea, freaking notepad
don't use execVM
but yeah, the formatting was just weird with yours
{
addMissionEventHandler ["EachFrame",
{
{
if (_x isKindOf ["Default", configFile >> "CfgAmmo"]) then
{
deleteVehicle _x;
};
} forEach (([14379.6,16139.4,5.34058e-005]nearObjects 500) + ([14808.6,16574.8,2.67029e-005]nearObjects 500) + ([15245.6,17253.1,3.43323e-005]nearObjects 500) + ([15415.1,17108.5,-0.000137329]nearObjects 500) + ([15248.4,16984.2,0.000112534]nearObjects 500)) ;
}];
};
use call compile preProcessFile
[] call compil preProcessFile "scripts\BaseProtection.sqf";
faster
you had some really funky 3 spaces on some of those brackets..
no, just replace execVM "scripts\BaseProtection.sqf"; with that
simple solstice
with postinit
subtle ore
lool, compil
simple solstice
cfgfunctions is what you are supposed to do as a mission maker
compiles on mission load
easier to call/spawn the script
subtle ore
sure
simple solstice
and you can use pre/post init
subtle ore
honestly, there isn't any point if you're going to run it once
