and you can use pre/post init
#arma3_scripting
simple solstice
subtle ore
multiple times definitely use CfgFunctions
pre and post init may not always be the most suitable time to execute scripts
I learned a lot of the stuff from the biki examples
simple solstice
well of course
where is the code executed from?
This command only works locally and must be run on all machines to have global affect.
try using init.sqf I guess
lyric nacelle
hi guys, i have this in my initPlayerlocal.sqf
player addEventhandler ["GetInMan", { eject = player addAction ["Helo Drop", "functions\fnc_eject.sqf"]}];
simple solstice
and make sure
lyric nacelle
i am trying to remove it with this
player addEventhandler ["GetOutMan", {[player, eject] ExecVM ["removeAction", 0, true];}];
simple solstice
that the objects are selected correctly
lyric nacelle
but its not working
lyric nacelle
me or god^
lyric nacelle
i dunno, i dont know the proper syntax for it
simple solstice
@lyric nacelle i would just use conditions
for the addAction
instead of removing it and adding
subtle ore
player, eject] ExecVM ["removeAction", 0, true]; uhhh...what..
lyric nacelle
yea first time trying to do that so i dunno wtf i am doing....
subtle ore
simple solstice
subtle ore
condition (Optional): String - script code that must return true for the action to be shown.
simple solstice
so I would just do
!isNull objectparent player
for the condition
from the code you posted it looks like it's added to every vehicle
simple solstice
yes
subtle ore
or... !isNull objectParent _target
simple solstice
what I meant when entering every vehicles
lyric nacelle
yes
simple solstice
same thing midnight
simple solstice
i guess
subtle ore
more dynamic
if I want to make this script compatible for both vehicles and a local player
subtle ore
No. LOD View switches once inside a vehicle
so the actions would be available outside
lyric nacelle
can i just use hideOnUse?
subtle ore
but inside the vehicle you could not, you'd have to add it to the player
look at what hideOnUse does
lyric nacelle
would it reapear when they reenter another veh
subtle ore
it doesn't remove the action
lyric nacelle
ah the entire action menu
oh no, not even that it will just hide it untill you scroll again
subtle ore
Yep
simple solstice
using the condition and nothing more will be enough
but you still need to pass the default parameters
lyric nacelle
ok, sorry for being stupid, but how do i do that?
simple solstice
it should be on the wik
subtle ore
blahblahblah addAction["CoolioDude", { },[],1.5,true,true,"","true",15,false,""];
it's not
lyric nacelle
addAction [helo dump, myscript.sqf, null, 0, true, true, false, !isNull objectParent _target, -1, flase, ""]
this?
subtle ore
first param needs to be a string
second param the script, also needs to be a string
arguments are an array
[]
can't have a priority of 0
the condition needs to be a string
lyric nacelle
addAction [helo dump, myscript.sqf, [], 1.5, true, true, false, !isNull objectParent _target, -1, flase, ""]
subtle ore
myCoolDude addAction ["helo dump","myscript.sqf", [], 1.5, true, true, false, "!isNull objectParent _target", -1, flase, ""];
diag_log "Cool dudes are cool";
Yep yep
lyric nacelle
i should have known, coming from C#
subtle ore
well SQF is mainly command based.
lyric nacelle
it's taking me a little bit to get my head round it
subtle ore
yep, and just when you think you've got it down SQF will throw you a hardball
lyric nacelle
ha yeah sounds about right
cloud thunder
don't forget to flase

hey guys so after trying to tel it to call it in init.sqf and later initplayerlocal.sqf it still isnt working
subtle ore
where is this being executed @lyric nacelle ?
lyric nacelle
initPlayerLocal
subtle ore
@gusty flume initPlayerLocal and init.sqf are two totally different things, what are you trying to acomplish?
@lyric nacelle Hmmm.. this is odd, can you post the entire code?
cloud thunder
flase is not a bool
subtle ore
🙄 I thought i changed that
myCoolDude addAction ["helo dump","myscript.sqf", [], 1.5, true, true, false, "!isNull objectParent _target", -1, flase, ""];
diag_log "Cool dudes are cool";
ive not put it in both at the same time i tried it in each to see if i was putting the ommand line to call it in the wrong file and heres the script
{
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)) ;
}];
};```hahhaha
subtle ore
mission event handler needs to be in the init.sqf
subtle ore
lol, did you seriously put flase in there? lol
lyric nacelle
i fucking did !
subtle ore
Woohoo! 👌

so i tried it in init.sqf and it didnt work still lol

you needed either a call for those starting brackets, otherwise nothing is executed
needs to be in init.sqf
@lyric nacelle 👍
gusty flume
what this code needs to be in init.sqf?
subtle ore
yes
subtle ore
otherwise, eveyrtime a player joins it'll attempt to add another mission event handler. Yep, sure thing
gusty flume
so im getting error generic error in expression in
if (_x isKindOf ["Default", configFile >> "CfgAmmo"]) then ```

any other error?
it always says generic error in expression...
But right next to that it says the real error
gusty flume
nope thats thats the only one that comes up

can you copy the full error message?
gusty flume
but its still not stopping me from using the tanks to blow stuff up in hq

my guess is _x is not a string
gusty flume
so the error message is

if (_x |#|iskindof {["Default", configFile >> "CfgA...'
error generic error in expression```_x is not a string then
gusty flume
so how do i fix that?

Didn't think much about that.
Why is ammo a object 😮

The only thing holding me back from using these all the time is their overhead due to being SQF functions and not C++ functions.
why
Because someone programmed it this way.

Did I miss anything?
It's a script command that only accepts OBJECT. so the isEqualType check falls away
little eagle
It returns CONFIG, not STRING.

All it does is report the CONFIG of a classname or object.
Super useful.

It's not like it will get buried today. 2 days ago you were bored and searched for stuff to implement.
Those are the things I'd implement day 1 if I'd have access to the source.
still forum
allTurrets can return a ton of turrets. And you only want the first that passes the isEqualTo check?
little eagle
Well, the unit can only be in one slot, so of course return.
still forum
I think I can't do that right now
We have inconsistencies in what a turret path is
allTurrets returns array of strings. and turretUnit wants array of numbers
little eagle
Array of arrays.
still forum
array of what
ah
Okey.. The guy that wrote the Intercept wrapper thought it was an array of strings
is there a max length of the turret path array?
hollow lantern
is it hard to let the vanilla CIWS target rockets and mortar shells?
little eagle
Good question...
hollow lantern
I guess you need to attach an fired EH to every shot and check if its a mortar / arty shell or rocket
and then do something with it. but not sure about performance
little eagle
It doesn't make much sense to shoot at these objects, because they can't take damage and be destroyed.
hollow lantern
oh
little eagle
I guess I'd have one handler for each CIWS projectile checking for really close mortar etc. shell objects and if there are any, delete both and add some fireworks.
each frame handler
really dirty.
Would suck at low fps.

@still forum - how would the following look in intercept? ```sqf
#define NUMBER 500
private _num = 5;
if (NUMBER > _num) then {
vehicle player setFuel 0.4;
hint "Fuel!";
};
nil
We were discussing how to implement turretPaths.
The best choice was to have an array of arrays of numbers. Problem with that is the performance impact of that is devastating... Intercept relative ofcause... Ofcuase still better than anything of SQF.. but too bad for my OCD
tough abyss
Just an example with no actual use 😛
still forum
So in the end I just forced everyone to leave it broken for now
@tough abyss the #define there doesn't really make sense
tough abyss
I know.
still forum
the if statement would be completly optimized out at runtime
so.. answer is
set_fuel(vehicle(player()),0.4f); hint("Fuel!")
tough abyss
Not sqf::set_fuel?
still forum
You can move that out if you want
I keep it in my projects but it's your choice
you can also have intercept::sqf::set_fuel if you want to
tough abyss
Also why f after number?
little eagle
So it doesn't sink.
tough abyss
Eh?
hollow lantern
f for float

And why is player a function?
little eagle
I want this in sqf D:
still forum
player is a function because player is a function.
player in SQF is a function without arguments
still forum
I honestly didn't expect that much from getObjectConfig because most of that is config lookups but... about 8x improvement is neat
tough abyss
I keep forgetting that "commands" in SQF are actually functions... 🤦

8x faster, and the best thing it looks better as command.
Isn't this beautiful?

How about player getObjectConfig "displayName" XD
little eagle
No.

Is an actual command?

With intercept, both are. (getText default and GOC)
Intercept can register SQF commands. Because Dedmen wanted it to I guess.

Now do alive GROUP. I never understood why they never made that one.

just as you started writing
The question though.. ANY of group or ALL of group
you wrote any

still forum
game_value aliveGroup(game_value grp) {
for (auto& unit : sqf::units(static_cast<group>(grp)))
if (sqf::alive(unit)) return true;
return false;

sadly not as clean as I'd like.. When helper classes are done it would be this:
game_value aliveGroup(Group grp) {
for (auto& unit : grp)
if (unit.alive()) return true;
return false;
}
I guess always report false, unless there is one alive unit in the group.
still forum
sqf::units will return empty array on grpNull and empty group right?
little eagle
Yes.
still forum
The helper classes one looks soo friggin nice
little eagle
[_this] params [["_entities", [], [objNull, grpNull, []]]];
if (_entities isEqualType objNull) exitWith {
alive _entities;

if (_entities isEqualType grpNull) then {

I work at a game studio with a 15 year old scripting language not unlike SQF, and even inhouse it's to get the engine team who write the functions, and the content team who use them, to talk to each other
There's over a decade of awful scripting in there because no-one thought to ask the engine team for better functions for what they were doing, so it's all crazy workarounds

Quick question. I'm trying to use execVM to run a .sqf script that runs several animations for a model. However, it appears execVM does not want to run the script itself.
Anyone have any ideas?
tough abyss
Anyone?
tough abyss
@tame portal I put in a debug "hint "test"" and it never shows up.
tame portal
Wheres the execVM located at?
tame portal
I mean, physical folder location
tough abyss
Ah
tame portal
Is it in a mod or a missionfile?
tame portal
Wheres the .sqf file relative from the mod root?
tough abyss
I put it through objectbuilder, made the model config, and it works fine
Yeah
Well
it's in \script\ from where the .p3d is
If that explains anything
tame portal
Okay, whats the full path to the .sqf file
tough abyss
\a3l\eric_objects\placeables\items\spikestrip\script
tame portal
Is a3l the pbos name?
tough abyss
Negative
tame portal
Which part of that path is being packed to a pbo?
tough abyss
the .pbo's name is "eric_objects", and it goes in a modfolder named "@a3l"
Hence the path
tame portal
Does eric_objects contain a $PREFIX$ file or do you set a prefix of that pbo somehow?
tough abyss
It might have, I have a programmer/scripter that helps me out, he's out... sick today
He looked at my code and said it was wrong and that he'll explain more one day when he feels better
Basically I just want a simple way to run a number of animations that all need to run at the same time
and I've tried every which way to sunday to get this done
Had another dev come by and run this as a "fn_" something
Still didn't work
The conditions in the useractions works fine, but the statements does nothing of what I want them to do
tame portal
If the PBO is loaded at @a3l\addons\eric_objects.pbo, your execVM has to be `[] execVM "\eric_objects\placeables\items\spikestrip\script\filename.sqf"
Assuming you dont set a pbo prefix
tough abyss
I'll try that.
tame portal
Is the pbo being loaded at all actually? 😄
tough abyss
loaded, questionmark. I'll check for a prefix.
tame portal
Because when you load a mod via -mod=@mymod
the folder @mymod must have an addons folder and inside that the pbos
Sounded like the addons directory is missing when seeing this path \a3l\eric_objects\placeables\items\spikestrip\script
tough abyss
Could not use the filepath you suggested above, the compiler threw errors at me.
The one with the execVM
I'll try the latest one again, with the brackets.
tame portal
Oh whops
I meant to write
[] execVM "\eric_objects\placeables\items\spikestrip\script\filename.sqf"
tame portal
That is?
tough abyss
pboproject.
tame portal
Where are you placing this line?
tough abyss
Ok, I'll show you
tame portal
I don't think Im following you correctly, I thought you just wanted to place a .sqf file that does some stuff in your pbo and then execVM it somewhere when needed?
tough abyss
This might be better for a private chat.

hollow lantern
what? how so? I just wanted to know if it makes any trouble if I run a script with this piece of code in it _fridge setVariable ["KI_vehToRemove", _light, true]; a second or even third time in terms of the variable is broadcasted globally and would a getVariable work then on all three?
still forum
@Neviothr#0132 Only way for onLBSelChanged Would be commands to enable/disable the event. So when filling your list and selecting an element you deactivate it. and after that you activate again. But you can do that already by just using a Var and exitWith.
tough abyss
:thumbsup:
hollow lantern
@indigo snow Its not the case of the command. I just mean if I broadcast a variable gobally and the script will be executed once again but with different params (but the setVariable is the same command with same parameters) will it override the variable that was previously broadcasted or will it be antoher one since the created object is arma internally not the same as the one created before
indigo snow
Maybe you misunderstand what OBJECT setVariable ARRAY does? It sets a variable in to the object itself, not to the missionNamespace. These variable names have to be unique with the object itself, but multiple objects can have the same variable "name" setVariable'd on them.
e.g. its no problem to do _fridge1 setVariable ['test',0,true]; _fridge2 setVariable ['test',2,true];
since to get them you use OBJECT getVariable ARRAY and you specify exactly from which object you wish to get the variable
What you wrote is very confusingly worded, though. Maybe try to explain what you want to do? Set a variable with the same name on multiple objects? Thats how I interpreted it.

@tough abyss Intercept can only do what Scripting can already do.. Just alot nicer and faster. With one exception in that it can get a full position Matrix from objects without going through SQF

Quaternions are just a differnt way of representing pitch, bank and yaw without the singularity. ie. yaw being undefined when pitched is 90. You can think of it as a kind of a compressed version of the 3 direction vectors. (although matheticians will shoot me for that description)
little eagle
i*j*k=-1 is what he means.
indigo snow
Yea but from the above the engine seems to use some other format internally

How do you tell? The editor uses angles.

The engine stores the world position and the direction as the 3 vectors dir,up,aside

Error Params: Type String, expected Object
Am I doing it wrong, why does arma throw an exception instead of using the default value?
jade abyss
_dataSegment = ["data1"]; != Object
"data1" == string
Something like that would work:
_dataSegment = [player];
_dataSegment params [["_unit", objNull, [objNull]]];```wiki says if the data ("data1") is not the type I expected it should fall back to the default value. isn't that why it's there to simplify the check of the variable whether it is the right data type.
expectedDataTypes (Optional): Array of direct Data Types - checks if passed value is one of listed Data Types. If not, default value is used instead. Empty array [] means every data type is accepted.
cunning nebula
doesnt work that way
default value is only used if the input is undefined
wrong input gives an error

Are you sure the script really quits? Maybe it just writes the error and continues with default value

afair it did that._dataSegment = ["data1","data2",1];

type is "OBJECT" so it works.

It was somewhere mentioned, a few weeks later, when params was introduced

jade abyss
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/params
In addition to simple parsing directly into variables, input can be tested in case it is undefined, of the wrong type or of the wrong size (if array) and substituted if necessary with default values. Since Arma 3 v1.53.132691, onscreen errors are displayed for when the input is of the wrong type or size.```welp should have read more carefully then.

tough abyss
In PboProject?
little eagle
I was just asking if the error messages appear the same as with native commands.
still forum
Yes they do.
The engine can't differentiate between Intercept and native commands. They are both the same
Intercept can't trigger a fail inside the function though.
Like some BI commands can trigger an error if you pass an array with 2 elements but 3 were expected. Intercept can't do that. But they could diag_log and write the message themselves
little eagle
Can you patch broken commands? Like assignedTeam player or currentMuzzle?
still forum
I can theoretically replace commands. But Intercept can only use SQF so if there is no SQF way to fix it Intercept can't really provide a working alternative
Normal plugins can't replace or remove commands. But plugins signed with the core key will be able to in the future
little eagle
Dunno about assignedTeam. It just reports nil when you remote control instead of the assigned team.
And currentMuzzle / currentWeaponMode report 0 instead of "" on vehicles.
That should be fixable.
still forum
If you can fix it with scripts then yes.
little eagle
private _return = currentMuzzle _vehicle;
[_return, ""] select (_return isEqualTo 0)
With assignedTeam you could report at least a default value, but the real information about the assigned team is lost I guess.

indigo snow
Can you post your config entry?
waxen cosmos
From my understanding of the wiki for iskindfod and CfgWeps // _isKindOf = "Rifle" in [(configFile >> "CfgWeapons" >> "BWA3_G36K"),true] call BIS_fnc_returnParents; // Wouldn't that just return CfgWeapons as there isn't a parent class for a base weapon?
indigo snow
It will have a baseclass like rifle_base or something
lone glade
nope, that's not how you use isKindOf
indigo snow
Also yea thats a bit silly since isKindOf now has the alternative syntax
But the base question was about weapon inheritance
Its snippet from the wiki page for iskindof
lone glade
"myCfgClass" isKindOf ["cfgClass2", configPath to one of cfgClass2 parents]
waxen cosmos
I wanted to understand how the subcatergories work within CFG Weapons for calling them with an iskindof// isequalto, to break them down into subcatergories with ease. One of the most basic ways appears to be using the cfg >> cursor
indigo snow
So the G36 is a subclass of cfgWeapons, but its parent will be another class in cfgWeapons
Parents are defined the following way in config:
class cfgWeapons {
class parent {
a = 1;
};
class child : parent {};
};
So the parent of child is parent and theyre both subclasses of cfgWeapons
So child isKindOf parent (with correct syntax!), parent is not kindOf child, and theyre not equal to each other.
queen cargo
there is no real parent in configs
indigo snow
Within the context of what arma calls parents, there is, and its probably best not to confuse people new to them too much.
waxen cosmos
Ok Cpt Nick - starting to understand that, in reference to identifying the Parent/Childs could you point me in the right direction in the CFG? When I started playing with this I was thinking isKindOf was going be like vehicles, how wrong I was haha - Also thank you!
indigo snow
You cant identify them by eye in the config browser, you either need to look at the source config or use the appropriate functions/commands
Actually i think the config viewer displays parents
Very small at the bottom
lone glade
yep it does
indigo snow
Itll be an array ["all","rifle","riflebase",...] Etc

you can also use configProperties to get child and sub-children classes of a class that match a condition

I mean the nested if's that do checks if the event was valid. E.g. don't report loadout when the ammo count changed and nothing else.
still forum
Can you check Arma right now?
can you do a perf test with the player event function from debug console
that's the easiest way to tell performance
still forum
no just profile it in debug console
just call it and press the profile button
With the hasItem check. I'd like to exit early. What's the most likely thing that will contain the item? Probably inventory right?
still forum
yeah.
and after that assigned Items and googles,headgear,hmd
jade abyss
Yeah
still forum
I'm thinking about specialized functions. That check assignedItems first.. But.. It's probably not worth the effort.. Intercept will probably be atleast 20x as fast
little eagle
not worth it
gusty flume
hey guys is it possible to put a bit of code in a vehicles init so that if its deserted it respawns
still forum
yes
gusty flume
is there anywere i can find an example so i know roughly what to do
cunning nebula
hmm I remember writing an sqs script for that, ages ago
do you only care about players in that regard ?
this addEventHandler ["GetOut",{
params ["_veh"]:
while { (alive _veh) && { [] isEqualTo ((crew _veh) select {alive _x}) } } do {
if ( {
if ( (_veh distance2D _x) < 1000 ) exitWith { true }
} forEach allUnits ) then {
_des = _veh getVariable ["deserted",0] + 1;
if ( _des > 6 ) then {
deleteVehicle _veh;
} else {
sleep 10;
};
};
};
}];
that might work
removes it when there is noone left inside the vehicle and noone within 1000m for a minute
gusty flume
does that go in Init.sqf or Initserver.sqf?
also anyone able to help me with a dynamic loadout script so people can change the loadouts oun the jets and attack helos
earnest ore
@cunning nebula Wouldn't that fire for every unit that gets out of the vehicle?
cunning nebula
it runs once the last unit has left the vehicle
but youre right, i should cancel it when someone new gets inside
there
or change "allUnits" to "allPlayers" if you just want to make sure no players are nearby (which is probably better)
gusty flume
hey @cunning nebula i dont suppose you know anything about spawn point errors?
cunning nebula
what are these ? / not sure what you mean exactly...
gusty flume
multiplayer respawn points
cunning nebula
yeh but what about them ?
lone glade
so, any idea what ["B_Bergen_mcamo_F",[["V_RebreatherB",false]]] that bool is for ? it's from getUnitLoadout
cunning nebula
maybe because it has no inventory
lone glade
nope
cunning nebula
you sure? it is a vest-item after all
lone glade
you can't place container with items inside them inside other containers
hollow lantern
is execVM capable of doing something like execVM "D:\Aebian\Documents\Arma 3\missions\[A]_Angel.kobbvatn\itsAebian\FM\\fm_hit.sqf" ? Doesn't work for me. I guess because of the brackets
lone glade
it's a terrible terrible idea,
it was possible at some point and disabled because it was ripe for abuse
hollow lantern
wel I just want to do it for testing some stuff but not for an actual mission
lone glade
use relative paths?
hollow lantern
do you got an arma example? the script I'm trying to run is not in the same folder as the mission i'm on atm
lone glade
well guess what, you can't do that
still forum
@hollow lantern enable filePatching
Not sure if full paths work then.. but stuff like \userconfig\script.sqfwill

kk

full paths are disabled

What is that "Vanilla" you are talking about?

It's tasty, but gets boring after a while. Some more flavours were added to it

Caramel and vanilla taste good

Btw that 2.517ms variant.. Literally the worst out of all of them was/is used by TFAR 0.9.x

YES. 17!

Dedmen, you can use the case sensitive in by converting the input case of the item to the config case by using configName.

Cool. Good to know

So this is what the scheduler is for.

im just
what would you even ever use that for
whats the thought process behind it
what did they try to communicate
still forum
Only thing I can guess is that they check if the script is still running. and at some point kill it using the script command that can kill scripts that I never used
little eagle
He did it because he could.
still forum
But.. Just use a bool for that.. WTF
lone glade
because reasons
still forum
yep. They call terminate behind some if conditions that could very well be false
and then they assign a new spawned script to that that actually does stuff
indigo snow
i have so many questions
little eagle
I blame Obama.
still forum
I think they just didn't know how to scriptNull and they though they need to put a value of same type into there if they predefine the variable with private
little eagle
scriptDone scriptNull reports true though.

If I see if true then true else false I'm just thinking how that retarted mess of braingoo is able to breathe and why nobody stopped him from breathing yet

what about if true then false else true

I honestly never saw that I think
little eagle
private _fillEvenly = call compileFinal str if (_unitCount >= 8);
that got me thinking about logic gates
if a not A and B then B
indigo snow
can str make a compilable string from an IF type?
little eagle
Yes.
indigo snow
oh, didnt it just look like a bool?
little eagle
Yes, because that is more important than doing the same with resistance.
indigo snow
i mean they just didnt match the command names with the internal string names
little eagle
Question is, why?
lone glade
because nobody bothered to look and they thought "woops too late" once it was done
little eagle
Same for <null> vs. objNull etc.
