There is no overloading.
edgy dune
hmmm shit i see
alright we heres wat im tryna do
so theres a tank,I want it so that whenever its hit,the turret doesnt get damaged. My current solution is a while loop that runs till the tank dies and constantly fixes the turret(thats obv bad cause well.....while loop).

if i spawn a missile thats capable of locking on, is there a way to make it travel as if it locked onto something?

no

should i bother making some ridiculous direction change script or would that not be feasible
little eagle
Depends on how good you are.
plucky willow
what i meant was, would the direction change be faster than a jet and actually work
little eagle
Do you want to kill the jet no matter what?
Because the problem would not be making the missile track. It would be having the missile be influenced by flares and not turn unrealistically quick etc.
plucky willow
the missile leaves the object distance limit so i just cheated with setdamage

little eagle
Nothing more fun than blowing up aircraft with missiles.
plucky willow
quick question why do you ASLToAGL when you create the missile
little eagle
Because createVehicle expects AGL.
And vector math has to be done in a flat topology. Only ASL / World is flat.
Careful with createVehicle though. The other syntax expects ATL for canFloat = 0; and AGL for canFloat = 1; vehicles. This version doesn't have this problem.

_location = _this select 0;
using this one in several of my scripts and no problems but on this one script it keep saying the variable _location wasnΒ΄t defined, but i did the _this select 0 like on others scripts i wrote...sometiems it works fine 2 or 3 times in a row and then it doesnΒ΄t and the script just halts... any ideas?
its passing a location and on the other script on using that location to spawn in an object
little eagle
@astral tendon Yes, they tried adding warning for when you use wrong strings (enums), but they messed up and totally legal stuff throws errors.
Still works though.
astral tendon
@little eagle Thanks for the info.
now i also notice that weapons that i put as props on the ground have no magazine in it, is also a bug?
little eagle
May be intentional.
plucky willow
if the location is a waypoint you need to use quotes
blissful wind
no, its the AO marker that was selected randomly.. see it works fine on others scripts and this one too for like 2 or 3 in a row sometimes non at all
astral tendon
seens like it already have a magazine in it and i cannot add it
blissful wind
sometitmes its fine sometiems its not and i just cant figure this out why its like that on this one script.. tose ae basically the 2 lines of code
im going to work around it by creating a global obj at that location and then grabbing its Pos from the otehr script but i rather not have to
it pleases me best when i can put as much as possible in the local space
it works not but its with the global obj in the mix
astral tendon
Well, seens like a bug, if you place a firearm on the ground in the editor it apears with out magazine and if you in game place the weapon on the ground it apears with a magazine
and also, the firearm on the ground also already come by default with a magazine in it.
plucky willow
ive got a loadout script and it also doesnt place mags in the weapon
i prefer it that way though since the default mag isnt always what i want
astral tendon
You mean, visualy?
because the magazine is catually inside of the gun already, but it does not show on the model
when you place on the editor
plucky willow
not visually, the weapon is unloaded, you have to load it on mission start
i suppose that makes it not a very good script
astral tendon
but you cant also remove the magazine from the gun, othewise it gets invisible in the editor and in game
plucky willow
not sure what you mean
astral tendon
Place a weapon on the ground in the editor and will have no magazine but if you pick it up from the ground it does already have a magazine.
little eagle
Yes, and it has nothing to do with the server, Quiksilver. Even happens in SP.
I apply this fix to update PhysX and make them fall. I dub it the "poke" method. https://github.com/acemod/ACE3/blob/master/addons/common/functions/fnc_fixFloating.sqf
It has a bit obscured the allowDamage false part, because of compat with other systems using the command.
But you can go back in time and check the older versions.
addForce would be interesting, but that wasn't available back then.

```Tweaked: Toolkit / Medikit that can be now carried in a vest````
but what vest?
little eagle
so enable damage, setdamage damage, restore hitpointdamage, disable damage
That's basically it.
Here is where it's used. Target event is essentially remoteExec with the box being the target.
So sad I had to laugh myself ... while crying. Couldn't stop.
Yeah, damage has to be reenabled, otherwise it still floats. It's all really weird and fucked up.
astral tendon
No vest in vanila can hold a medikit, neither one in the mod i am running that also got allot of load.
little eagle
New mines appear every patch.
little eagle
Yeah, damage has to be reenabled, otherwise it still floats.
Actually it wouldn't. I'd work without that too, because setDamage does work when damage is disabled including this fix.
Things are even worse. setHit/Index is the thing that doesn't work with disabled damage, so I couldn't restore the original state.
And THE FUCKING WIKI CLAIMED IT DOES WORK.

what are some fancy ways to display text to the whole server?
i dont like hints or cuttext so far

_control ctrlSetText "splendid";
_control ctrlSetTextColor [0.1,1.0,0.1,1.0];
_control ctrlSetPosition [

safezoneY + 0.0 * safezoneH,
safezoneW * 0.1,
safezoneH * 0.3
];
_control ctrlCommit 0;
MyMission_Counter = [_control];
//To change the text:
(MyMission_Counter select 0) ctrlSetText "hello world";
This is objectively the easiest way.
_display is the mission display, #46
plucky willow
how do i pass in the mission display?
little eagle
findDisplay 46 ?
plucky willow
what is MyMission_Counter?
little eagle
The control.
plucky willow
so its just a variable
little eagle
Yes, You can name it how you like.
plucky willow
safezoneW and H, you multiply those to get 16x9 ratio?
little eagle
No? I think dividing safezoneW by safezoneH will give you 4/3 though.
jade abyss
@little eagle
MyMission_Counter = [_control];
//To change the text:
(MyMission_Counter select 0) ctrlSetText "hello world";```
?What's the question, Dscha? You use the last line by any other script of course.
jade abyss
Okay, i was about to say. Wouldn't have made much sense otherwise
little eagle
No one wants to recreate the control just to hide the text or show a different one. Just use ctrlSetText.
little eagle
The amount of indents worries me.
The amount of indents should be inversely proportional to the length of the function.

so a global variable is better than a function in this case?
little eagle
// any other script
0 spawn {
(commy_Counter select 0) ctrlSetText "COMPUTERCOMPUTERCOMPUTER";
sleep 5;
(commy_Counter select 0) ctrlSetText "";
};
^ Step 2
You can make a function out of step 2.
But the whole part about creating the control should only be done once.
plucky willow
i see
little eagle
You just reuse the control. This is for MP right? No savegames.
plucky willow
right just for MP

oh, i was gonna use an rgb color picker later
but i figured white would be a good test color
also white and black are the only ones i know

You remembered R-G-B and that gives away at least three colors.
I have no idea what RscTextMulti is.
plucky willow
its the same as rsctext except you can line break?

if you could line break in rsctext then i suppose it doesnt matter

little eagle
Focus on the top left corner, Axle.
Then think about what coordinate the bottom right corner is.
I stared at this for half an hour and then I got it.
austere granite
what is the center coordinate then commy?
is that... 0.5?
or is it...
((getResolution select 2) * 0.5 * pixelW)
austere granite
safeZoneX is like -0.18 depending on ratio or whatever
austere granite
what's a screen measurement unit?
plucky willow
safezonew returns the width of the screen in screen measurement units
little eagle
Outer is 4/3. Inner is your sceen resolution.
austere granite
ah, the 'unit' is the red box you see in commies picture
[safeZoneX, safeZoneY] is topleft corner of screen
little eagle
Yes.
plucky willow
and theyre negative?
austere granite
[safeZone + (safeZoneW * 0.2), safeZoneY] would be 20% from the left side of your screen at the top
etc
yes but ignore that
little eagle
and theyre negative?
Yes.
austere granite
all you need to know
little eagle
There're left and top of 0,0; so negative.
little eagle
Yes.
little eagle
Looks right.
plucky willow
and all i care about is inbetween
austere granite
now that might come up to like -0.18, 1.23423423, 23493242 3.4142424 1488
plucky willow
?
little eagle
All you care about is inbetween.
plucky willow
and its all relative values
austere granite
safeZoneX + (safeZoneW * _inBetween)
if that should be 50% (so middle... then 0.5
if it should be 100% (so right side of screen, then 1)
etc etc
little eagle
Obviously you also have to subtract the width of your control from the x position if you want to place it on the right side of the screen.
Similar for bottom,
You can use the same script I posted and the debug console to play around with ctrlSetPositon and ctrlCommit 0 to experiment with it.
austere granite
else you get this
etc
lets say that box is __WIDTH you wanna do (safeZoneX + safeZoneW - __WIDTH)
....
ree
little eagle
Center:
(safeZoneX + 0.5 * safeZoneW - __WIDTH / 2)
plucky willow
well now i see why RSCTextMulti isnt used
i get the first line but i assume the second line is an entire screen height lower
little eagle
Maybe the control is not tall enough.
little eagle
Change it's height.
Usually by making it bigger.
safezoneH * 0.3
->
safezoneH * 0.5
idk
plucky willow
ill give that a try
nice, it works
i tried putting the second part into a function
but it kept erroring out on the sleep part
austere granite
Scheduled
plucky willow
0 spawn {
(commy_Counter select 0) ctrlSetText "hello\nworld";
sleep 5;
(commy_Counter select 0) ctrlSetText "";
};
i had params for 5 and hello\nworld
commy2_fnc_displayText = {
params ["_displayText","_timer"];
0 spawn {
(commy_Counter select 0) ctrlSetText _displayText;
sleep _timer;
(commy_Counter select 0) ctrlSetText "";
};
};
like so
little eagle
commy2_fnc_displayText = {
_this spawn {
params ["_displayText","_timer"];
(commy_Counter select 0) ctrlSetText _displayText;
sleep _timer;
(commy_Counter select 0) ctrlSetText "";
};
};
You need to pass the arguments to the scheudled script instance. They lose all locals.
plucky willow
could you explain like im 5, i'm really bad at this
little eagle
_var = 1;
_var; // 1
call {
_var; // 1
};
0 spawn {
_var; // undefined :(
};
_var = 1;
_var spawn {
_this; // 1 !!!
params ["_var"];
_var; // 1 :)
};
_this in commy2_fnc_displayText is whatever arguments you passed to the function.
plucky willow
oh
little eagle
1 call {
_this // 1
};
[0,1] call {
params ["_var1", "_var2"];
_var1; // 0
_var2; // 1
_this; // [0,1]
};
Params is essentially the opposite operator of array creation.
[_var1, _var2]
<->
params ["_var1", "_var2"];
this is so much better than cuttext
cant wait to use it
uh oh
this is more of an OCD problem, but when i linebreak, the alignment is left instead of center

Hello, I have a problem that I've been trying to solve for the last couple hours, need some help with what seems to be a pretty simple command
Anyone willing to help me out?
So
I want to create a trigger that activates when a civilian player walks into it. It gives him an RGO grenade and that's it.
So far, it seems that putting "player addItem "handgrenade";" gives every player a grenade, so how do I specify that ONLY the person who activates the trigger gets the grenade?
Essentially, I'm making a multiplayer mode where it's 1v5 and the five-player side can each pick up exactly one grenade that the enemy player cannot have access to.
tame portal
@calm sapphire I dont use triggers but I think you need to put something along the lines of "player in thisList" into the condition field of the trigger
However you will need to add a check so that one player doesn't get a grenade twice
meager heart
@calm sapphire Name your unit somehow... unit_1
Set trigger activation to unit_1 side //--- BLUFOR/OPFOR ect...
Set activation type: Present
Set condition: unit_1 in thisList
On activation put: for "_i" from 1 to * do {unit_1 addItem "handgrenade";}; hint "Bingo"; deleteVehicle thisTrigger; //--- Replace * with number of grenades you need to add for unit_1
If you need only one grenade: unit_1 addItem "handgrenade"; And try google, he knows everything π

they swap vehicle classes around with some of their static mechanics (meaning new vehicle and that script won't apply anymore)
kindred lichen
Does the new vehicle keep the same variable name?
can i just name them instead?
Or is there a better way to keep refilling their ammo, ACE3 AI don't really know how to use ammo crates.
O.k. naming it, works
if( isServer) then { Null = [this] spawn { While {true} do { mg1 setVehicleAmmo 1; sleep 5;}; }; };
when Mg1 is the vehicle, works.
I just used the This thing so I could copy and paste the unit, and not have rename everything.
So I've changed it to 1 script that just hits them all, since I have to name them anyways.
kindred lichen
The alternative was mg42 primaries and carryalls full of Magazines.
astral tendon
Lib_MG42_lafette_deployed
Lib_MG42_lafette_low_deployed
astral tendon
so you want unlimited magazines?
kindred lichen
Ideally yeah, unlimited magazines, but I just put a 60s timer on it, so They can't shoot continuously, but might run into a extra long mag every once in a while.
Pretty sure players won't notice either way.

_unit = _this select 0;

it will give 3 magazines once it have none

wtb a function that spawns a dummy player client at will for JIP testing.
Doing my own head in trying to figure out how to add the connected player to a zues' edittable objects list.
daring pawn
Lads, i'm trying to list the classnames of groups in "Infantry" "Motorized" etc classes.
I'm trying to achieve this using https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/configClasses or any other method that achieves a similar result in the output.
little eagle
Only ones that are harder to use.
daring pawn
Harder to use doesn't really fuss me too much. I'm just trying to save some effort in the long run but making things simpler for edits to what faction I use for my mission
rather than manually putting in lists of groups
I'm already using configClasses atm to create some arrays of individual units, but having no luck adjusting it to do the same with groups
little eagle
configClasses would require the lowest effort to get those units.
daring pawn
Yea it was no stress at all to get the individual ones. But when i've tried adjusting it for cfgGroups not cfgVehicles, i'm getting blank return
_r = "(
{getText (_x >> 'faction') == 'BLU_F'}
)" configClasses (configFile >> "CfgGroups");
systemChat str(_r);
Is even returning a blank atm
little eagle
private _side = "west";
private _faction = "BLU_F";
private _category = "Infantry";
private _group = "BUS_InfSquad";
private _config = configFile >> "CfgGroups" >> _side >> _faction >> _category >> _group;
private _units = ("true" configClasses _config) apply {getText (_x >> "vehicle")};
systemChat str _units;
Don't use the code string thing of configClasses and configProperties. It only overcomplicates things.
daring pawn
Ah yes see i'm trying to get the "BUS_InfSquad" and whats input is just say the "BLU_F" for example
So all i'd have to change per mission for example is just the Faction used
little eagle
You want a list of all groups of a faction?
daring pawn
Correct
little eagle
Just remove >> _group and maybe rename the two _units to _group?
daring pawn
private _side = "west";
private _faction = "BLU_F";
private _category = "Infantry";
private _config = configFile >> "CfgGroups" >> _side >> _faction >> _category;
private _groups = ("true" configClasses _config) apply {getText (_x >> "vehicle")};
systemChat str _groups;
With that it gives me an array of "","","" etc
little eagle
Do you want the units or the groups?
daring pawn
Group names so I could use it with a function like BIS_fnc_SpawnGroup for example
little eagle
{getText (_x >> "vehicle")}
to
{configName _x}
for the groups.
daring pawn
Ah yes thats done what I want. Perfection. Appreciate it

bold timber
Guys, I need a code optimization tip.
My mod is using a custom random number generator for vehicle plates, the function is called in every init Eventhanlder (I check inside the func if the vehicle is local) and a config parameter must be in every vehicle (FFAA_numerales[], which determine how number will be generated (color, font etc) where I want generate those numbers.
Would be better if I call this function with postInit = 1; and by doing a foreach AllUnits checking if the parameter exist, and if so, call the above function?
In this way I could remove the Init Eventhandler of every vehicle because in fact it will eventually be called by whoever is calling the PostInit function.
still forum
But postInit doesn't catch vehicles that spawn later on
allUnits is overkill since soldiers don't have number plates
Usually
little eagle
Init is better for this.
bold timber
π€ Ops, that's true, it doesn't catch the laters
little eagle
In every way.
still forum
Init on ground vehicles. And if the lag is too much just move to scheduled
bold timber
@still forum Ok I'll remain the same approach then. And will move to scheduled enviroment
little eagle
Do you have perf problems with it?!
bold timber
No, just to remove the class Eventhandler parameter π
little eagle
Everything you suggested would make it worse. The init eventhandler is perfect for this. Why would you want to get rid of class Eventhandlers? Makes no sense to me.
bold timber
Doesn't matter, I think I was thinking in the bad way, sometimes I want get rid of unnecesary parameters to make a short config file but this isn't the case.
little eagle
Sounds to me like you're about to go out of your way to make something worse for absolutely no reason or benefit.

Nah, I'll remain it as before. I can apply the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" π

i have a question regarding CBA taskpatrol and tasksearcharea
do i understand correctly that the difference is that taskpatrol, fixes the waypoints, while searcharea, randomly generates new waypoints?
jade abyss
Would make sense
proven crystal
also i think one uses MOVE the other is SAD
i am trying to get the searcharea one to work and let the dudes search buildings after the waypoints
apparently i can give the thing a string fo code
for taskpatrol i have an example how that could work.
but that doesnt appear to do the job for seracharea
[_group, _destination, "AWARE", "YELLOW", "FULL", "STAG COLUMN", "this call CBA_fnc_searchNearby", [3,6,9]] call CBA_fnc_taskSearchArea;
in theory that code should be executed on every waypoint....
im not sure if that is actually what it does...
little eagle
Have you read the function header?
proven crystal
oh crap. searcharea searches buildings automatically
so im basically messing things up
thanks for that hint.
is there a way to stop the generation of new waypoints?
little eagle
It says "indefinitely", so I don't think so.
But you could always copy paste the function and adjust it.
Just have to replace the script_component include with #include "\x\cba\addons\ai\script_component.hpp", so it finds the right file.
proven crystal
Sounds complicated. Might use takspatrol instead. That works by adding a series of waypoints with cycle. Then i could just delete waypoints to stop them
And if i want less predictable waypoints, i can just run the funktion in a loop for the randomness i think
little eagle
This is the recursive part that makes it indefinitely: https://github.com/CBATeam/CBA_A3/blob/master/addons/ai/fnc_taskSearchArea.sqf#L74-L77
proven crystal
Yep, saw it. But i think with the patrol function i might get the same effect with less code copying
Not sure though, is it less efficient to have those preset waypoints on the map?
proven crystal
with patrolarea it generates ficΒ΄xed waypints
so for example there would be a waypoint cycle of 7 waypoints for each group
while searcharea would only generate one, and then a new one only if that is completed
certainly nicer to look at from zeus
also i wonder if the algorithm behind searcharea might be more of an issue to use with VCOM
little eagle
Might be.
proven crystal
ah actually....
i think the thing will interrupt once i add a waypoint in any other way
because then i have a waypoint that doesnt call those statements again
so once VCOM kicks in, the thing will not be generating new searcharea waypoints
or if i add a waypoint as zeus

Im having a bit of a mindblank moment, do variables persist when set to the player object over respawns?

Hey guys, do you know if there is a way to script scrolling of a controlsgroupctrl?
little eagle
RscControlsGroup ARE the scrollbars in controls.
rotund cypress
Yes, however, you can obviously scroll when hovering over if the contents > than the controlsgroup
Is there a way to script that?
So I can scroll up or down within the control? I.e. call it via script command
little eagle
Just create a dummy control somewhere deep down?
rotund cypress
And do what with it?
little eagle
Nothing. Then you can scroll for a while.
rotund cypress
I don't think you know what I mean.
I want to be able to trigger scrolling (if control is able to scroll) via a scripting command or script
Is that possible?
little eagle
rotund cypress
Ah nice
little eagle
Never used this, but it sounds like it could be what you're looking after.
rotund cypress
This seems to scroll down, but not up π¦
Im trying to make a similar thing as to the default chat, i.e. scroll up or down with page up/down
Not sure how they're doing it
little eagle
ctrlSetPos and ctrlCommit?
rotund cypress
That could work I guess
little eagle
Just to be clear. ctrlCommit is a dely to animate these things and can be >0
So the control moves X seconds into the position.
little eagle
You mean the display for it?
rotund cypress
Well, more like the functionality, but the display would probably be stored there
Do you know what the display is called?
little eagle
There are a few template controls, but the display seems to be hardcoded or it's a hardcoded part of another display.
rotund cypress
Ah yeah
little eagle
This is the input edit box etc:
RscDisplayChat
rotund cypress
Yeah, I saw that
little eagle
These are the templates for the output / incoming chat:
RscChatListDefault
RscChatListMission
RscChatListBriefing
RscChatListMap
But the behavior is completely hard coded and they have no classical controls to edit with the API.
rotund cypress
Yeah I saw that π¦
little eagle
Are you making your own custom chat?
rotund cypress
Yes
I had some HUD stuff put on the same side as a chat before thinking of chat, so I told myself f*** it lets just remake the chat to have it on the right side
little eagle
Maybe one can edit the controls ingame should they be available with allControls. Sadly they seem to be structured text (for the multi colors?), so you can't read their displayed text at all.
rotund cypress
ah π¦

I think I also tried adding onLoad to them, but nothing happened. I can try again...

The isServer thing is needed so not every client spawns groups.
Don't want to have multiple copies of groups for every client connected.
drowsy axle
Right
so the isServer is just server init.
So it would be best to have it in initserver.sqf?
little eagle
isServer is true on the server (including SP client) and false on dedicated clients.
So the if statement is only evaluated on one machine.
The server.
drowsy axle

In the editor or in SP you are the server.

scriptDone needs a SCRIPT handle, not a CODE block. I think you can just get rid of it and the waitUntil entirely.

The 3 and 4 markers would be the wrong way around. Making the waypoint 3 at [0,0,0]
even though I made the index shown here: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addWaypoint to 0 1 2 3
little eagle
I think you have to start these waypoint indices with 1.
drowsy axle
they start at 0 I checked.
little eagle
Because 0 is already a dummy waypoint that every group has and is positioned where they spawn.
little eagle
That randomization method very strange though. I think you made it a square where the center is preferred with some kind of e function increasing probability. Euler would be proud.
little eagle
You. The sine cosine thing.

about the \ im wondering now if it will accept ..\myscript.sqf , not that thereΒ΄s a lot of folders but in that case i dont have to edit when reusing scripts
little eagle
I think the leading slash works if the game does not find the same file under the addons folder in some kind of mod.
No leading slash makes it look only inside the mission folder.
little eagle
Not here.
tough abyss
a starting \ sometimes makes it go back to base files
drowsy axle
@blissful wind Also hides it from knowing where the file is from just the "call"
drowsy axle
@blissful wind also if true then you need to have different file names.

lol

I don't follow.
drowsy axle
This: S1_WYP_4 setWaypointType "CYCLE";
Was for all groups
So the default waypoint is move if not set
Hence why the CYCLE didn't show

Does it work now?

For a constant server side loop, is there any benefit in rescheduling the loop every now and then rather than just having it run the same one over and over again? Someone once told me that its better to do this but I'm not too sure
still forum
rescheduling requires more cpu time than just letting it run
little eagle
Reschedule it every frame.
warm gorge
Yeah I think ill just stick to letting it run

I prefer commy's answer tho

hello evβone, is there a way to use attachTo on one relative position of an object to a relpos of another object? for instance to make ends match
daring pawn
when declaring a variable to equal something. IE _var = []; is there a way to do this when you don't know what "_var" is? for example, you can, with the pushBack command, combine something like (_var select (_forEachIndex)) pushBack _r) however that is not possible to do (_var select (_forEachIndex) = [];
little eagle
Assignment in SQF needs an identifier on the left side, not an expression.
But for arrays, maybe this is what you need?
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/set
daring pawn
Can you think of some work around? At the moment I achieve what I need, however I'm getting an array that is [["things","stuff"]] as I have to define the array already as _array = []; then pushback into it is causing it to add an array
I think I recall having a look at set yesterday evening, not sure what about it wasn't suitable. I'll peek again
Ah yes, I did have a loot at it. It still resulted in the array being [["stuff",'things"]]
private _side = str PMF_EnemySide;
private _faction = PMF_EnemyFaction;
_ArmoredGroups = [];
_InfantryGroups = [];
_MechanizedGroups = [];
_MotorizedGroups = [];
_SpecOpsGroups = [];
_SupportGroups = [];
_categories = ["Armored","Infantry","Mechanized","Motorized","SpecOps","Support"];
_groups = [_ArmoredGroups,_InfantryGroups,_MechanizedGroups,_MotorizedGroups,_SpecOpsGroups,_SupportGroups];
{
_config = configFile >> "CfgGroups" >> _side >> _faction >> (_categories select (_forEachIndex));
_r = ("true" configClasses _config) apply {configName _x};
(_groups select (_forEachIndex)) pushBack _r;
//diag_log (_groups select (_forEachIndex));
} forEach _groups;
[_ArmoredGroups,_InfantryGroups,_MechanizedGroups,_MotorizedGroups,_SpecOpsGroups,_SupportGroups]
Is the full code i'm using
Using part of what you sent me last evening
little eagle
(_groups select (_forEachIndex)) is just _x.

As we mentioned before
halcyon crypt
it should be just fine and does exactly what you're telling it to do π€

What's the result, and what is the expected result?
daring pawn
Result is
[["BUS_TankPlatoon","BUS_TankPlatoon_AA","BUS_TankSection","BUS_SPGPlatoon_Scorcher","BUS_SPGSection_Scorcher","BUS_SPGSection_MLRS"]]
I'd like to not have the array nest inside the other
Thats for _armoredGroups
little eagle
Replace pushBack with append.
daring pawn
π well... thats done it. Damn I looked through every other array modifier

I kinda wanna ask one of the vets to upload and pin this because it encompasses most of what goes on.

Question: I've a control, which text I set with ```SQF
_missionInfo = _dialog displayCtrl 80017;
_missionInfo ctrlSetStructuredText parseText format [
"<t size = '1' font = 'RobotoCondensedBold' color='#ffffff' align = 'left'>
%1 on %2
<br/>
Active SQF: %3
<br/>
Active FSM: %4
<br/>
Pos: %5
<br/>
Time: %6m
<br/>
CursorObj: %7
</t>",
missionName,
worldName,
(diag_activeScripts select 0) + (diag_activeScripts select 1) + (diag_activeScripts select 2),
diag_activeScripts select 3,
getPos player apply {floor _x},
floor ([time / 60, serverTime / 60] select isMultiplayer),
cursorObject
];
The last line, when looking at a given object can look like this `CursorObj: 139011: t_pinusp3s_f.p3d`, but when looking at the sky (at no object), it simply reads `CursorObj:`, rather than `CursorObj: <NULL-object>`. Why?That's the first time I see code where one line wraps around four.
tough abyss
Better?
little eagle
I think this may be because <> are html chars that parseText is trying to make sense of.
tough abyss
Could be, any way around that?
little eagle
_str = str cursorObject;
_str = [_str, ">", ">"] call CBA_fnc_replace;
_str = [_str, "<", "<"] call CBA_fnc_replace;
_str
What is ">"?
little eagle
If you want to use parseText etc. with arbitrary input, this is what you have to do.
tough abyss
Would it be the same with composeText?
subtle ore
@plucky beacon Very good summary

Is this attachTo?!

Setting position each frame, that's why I need locality change so person dragging can do setPos each frame
It looks smooth for dragging and acceptable for dragged
But its Arma.

So it's using setUnconscious.
