hey, im just finishing up my loadout selection scripts/menus and realised a major flaw. I am trying to allow the player to select the base gun they want, then add attachments using the menu. The menu works great for all attachments except for underbarrel grenade launchers. Using the "arifle_MX_F" as a base weapon, does anyone know how to return an array of compatible grenade launcher and how to attach them to the weapon?
little eagle
["LMG_Mk200_F", "bipod"] call CBA_fnc_compatibleItems;
Or vanilla...
searching...
["LMG_Mk200_F", 302] call BIS_fnc_compatibleItems;
I believe.
limpid pewter
Ok, so that function should return an array of compatible underbarrel grendae launchers for guns that support them?
little eagle
Well idk. The base game has no underbarrel grenade launchers, but it has bipods.
limpid pewter
? the MX3GL has a nade launcher. Or do you mean that you cannot 'attach' such a launcher under the gun

I want to find all nearby buildings with interiors from a given location, is there a way to accomplish that?
little eagle
nearestTerrainObjects [player, ["House"], 200];
@plucky willow Buildings do have defined memory points for things like entrances, and i believe a few scattered positions. But other than that it'll be manuL
subtle ore
Yeah what commy posted will return all your house terrain objects. (Which sometimes returns undesired objects remember that)
So in filtering the returned array you may need to disclude other object types like lamps
plucky willow
so what im planning on doing is checking for a minimum amount of building positions
subtle ore
Minimum amount? What do you mean?
plucky willow
like if theres only 3 building positions and i want to fit a squad of 5 inside the building
there will be overlap
so i would like to avoid that
subtle ore
the buildingPos command will return all positions it you use -1 as your tight param
plucky willow
yeah i already have something written i just couldnt figure out how to gather all available buildings
subtle ore
No, not necessarily. They can't all exist on the same position. They huddle around
I believe the max defined positions was like 9 iirc
little eagle
I thought there were buildings with like 50 positions. That hotel on Altis.
subtle ore
Ghost hotel? Wasn't that split into different assets though?
little eagle
Good point. I swear someone talked about buildings with many positions.
subtle ore
Not sure.
Which ones?
Purple? Have a screenshot handy?
Err...sort of. Moving onto cache sites and freeing prisoners
Ooh...really? Why does that have so many positions?
They're identical to the size of the adjoined houses on altis.

i would have made the numbers with shadow = 2 style or 0
all around the numbers, i personally think 1 looks a bit weird ๐
subtle ore
Still doesn't make sense as to why there would be over 9 positions
Yeah the numbers stand out over the icon
tame portal
but like the "top is almost solid to almost gone background" fade effect
is that a texture?
oh okay so its a texture
looks good
but still the text could have needed a <t shadow='0'></t> or 2 imo :P
looks very good though nevertheless

maybe it was an intern who wanted to do more
plucky willow
if i create a variable without assigning it a value does it default to null?

How would you even do that?
plucky willow
private _myvariable;
little eagle
That just fails silently if _myVar is undefined.
private command expects a string.
In scheduled, it would error.
plucky willow
so if I want it to be null, should i just set it to null?
plucky willow
why nil
subtle ore
don't do the former
little eagle
Nil is for undefining a variable.
Or for having an empty array element.
Such stuff.
plucky willow
if its nil can i use the variable again? the wiki uses very strong words like destroy
little eagle
Yes you can use it again. And by using private, you set it's home scope.
And that is not destroyed.
plucky willow
okay, thank you
and just for my curiousity, where does null fall into all of this?
little eagle
There is not one null. There is one for almost every type.
It's just the empty "thing" of that type.
E.g. objNull is the empty vehicle/object.
plucky willow
i see, thanks again
little eagle
Sometimes the debug console prints <null>, but that is really just nil.
Inconsistencies.

hey guys, just a quick question, i am putting together a AI spawn script that currently spawns a group of AI and a loot box with 1 building randomly across my map but want to change it so it spawns a composition of buildings instead .... anyone got a hint on how i can do this
i am currently just using this:
_cargo = "Land_Cargo_Tower_V2_F" createVehicle _randomPos;
but want to change it so it spawns more buildings to make it look more like small camps
limpid pewter
@tough abyss
Put more lines like sqf _cargo = "Land_Cargo_Tower_V2_F" createVehicle _randomPos; one for each new building you want, then have the _randomPos variable change between them like this ```sqf
_randomPos = [(random [min,mid,max]),(random [min,mid,max],(random [min,mid,max]]; // First time
_cargo = "Land_Cargo_Tower_V2_F" createVehicle _randomPos;
_randomPos = [(random [min,mid,max]),(random [min,mid,max],(random [min,mid,max]]; //Second time at a new random position
_cargo = "Land_Cargo_Tower_V2_F" createVehicle _randomPos;
_randomPos = [(random [min,mid,max]),(random [min,mid,max],(random [min,mid,max]]; // Third time and so on
That's what i would do, but it is hard to help you directly without the rest of the code.I was wondering if anyone else here has ever attempted to or been successful in creating a system using scripting only to allow players to re-bind hard coded key bindings that use DIK-codes; like this ```sqf
menuOpenEH = (findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", {// Open Menu here}];
With only one or two hard coded bindings it is ok to work around them, but now that my mission has around 10 and more will be needed in the future to activate certain features, i am looking for a way to allow the player to actually change their these bindings with an ingame menu. Searching the Wiki showed that VBS has a simple answer to this, a file called dikCodes.hpp in the bin directory that basically cross-references all the DIK-Codes with their characters, but for Arma 3 this doesn't exist.
Anyone know anything about this?It does exist for Arma 3.
And the DIK codes (Direct Input key codes) are always the same everywhere
#include "\a3\ui_f\hpp\defineDIKCodes.inc" There
limpid pewter
Whhaaaaaaat, coool
meager heart
@limpid pewter This way ?
[] spawn
{
waitUntil
{
(inputAction "Throw" > 0)

@meager heart
Yeah but isn't this only for bulit-in actions within arma 3? I meant that i want to be able to let players edit the DIK-codes that i have set using the code ```sqf
menuOpenEH = (findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", {
if (_this select 1 == 45) then {
//Open Menu here
};
}];
Do you want to add your own keybinds. Or change the Arma ones?
limpid pewter
So i have already added my own keybindings, they work great. But there are around 10 of them now, and everyone who has tested my mission has different opinions about whether they like the bindings i have set and so i want them to be able to change them.

i thought this was going to be hard , i was right haha. Thanks for the help anyway
I will have to manually create an array that relates the DIK codes to the characters.

A server-side only trigger with the time as condition

Init is, InitPost isn't.

RemoteExec without call, will that create a thread on targets computer or self?

True
SimZor only for functions, for commands (setFuel, call) both remoteExec and reCall are the same.
rotund cypress
Yes, obviously, however, will it create a thread on target computer or my own computer?
rotund cypress
Did not answer my question, will it create a thread for my own computer on or the target computer?
I.e. if I disconnect, will the thread persist on targets computer?

You can't have threads on your machine for other machines. That doesn't work.

Does the Dragged3DEN work?
shut flower
yes
little eagle
Does setObjectTextre complain about undefined variable in array?
shut flower
don't think so, no
little eagle
The error is, that it does show the default textre when returning from a preview in 3den, right?
little eagle
[_object, _texture] spawn {
(_this select 0) setObjectTexture [0, _this select 1];
};
Try this for the second setOT.
shut flower
you mean the one at line 23/24?
little eagle
24
I think you also have to do this for the third / setOTGlobal, because commands that do network synching, like setVariable public or setObjectTextureGlobal, fail to synch to clients when executed from an init eventhandler.
shut flower
is cba waitandexecute also fine? like with 0.1 secs delay?
little eagle
Nah, this spawn is ok. Just need to push it to next frame.
execNextFrame and waitUntilAndExecute don't work in 3den, because time doesn't progress.
little eagle
I don't know then. Check if _texture is defined. Add some diag_log and see if the eventhandler fires.
shut flower
kk
cosmic kettle
@little eagle The fact that OTG fails to sync isn't noted in the wiki? Is this an 3den thing or are you referring to:
Do not put global commands such this one into init field in editor and expect it to work in Multiplayer. See Talk:setObjectTextureGlobal for the explanation.
3den isn't syncing
little eagle
No, in general, all commands that do synching don't work in MP when executed from the init event. They do from init box however.
shut flower
so the init evh fires but it seems that the 3den check is false
I think I'll wrap the whole init into a spawn maybe this works
cosmic kettle
Stupid question probably but had to ask; what is the difference, if any, between:
params ["_var"];
and
params ['_var'];
Oh, yes
shut flower
there is no difference
little eagle
is3den reports false for the first few frames when returning from a preview.
That is a known bug. Known to me at least.
cosmic kettle
It's what I suspected... Thanks Chris
shut flower
ok, is there a workaround? so is letting it running scheduled enough or do I have to sleep it for 0.1 secs?
little eagle
if (is3den || !isNull findDisplay 313) then {
Try this condition.
313 is the idd of Display3DEN
The display persists throughout the preview.
But not the first time you open it. So you need both.
I believe.

but yeah, Torndeco has a better solution there
you should really look into event handlers and loops
because loops don't always have to exit if it can repeat multiple times. But in this situation, an event handler is a better solution
astral tendon
I used the hit event handle, but i think will do the same problem, he will say it every time he is hit
subtle ore
Damaged -> Write a condition for a certain amount of damage -> Execute say3D
Same thing applies to hit, only it'd be more useful to grab damage of limbs with hit -> Write a condition for a certain amount of damage -> Execute say3D
astral tendon
That damage is the amout of damage received by the shooter or the total amout of damage that the unit have?
rotund cypress
Hey guys, quick question, on each frame handlers does not "halt" when you are outside of the game right? Like tabbed out.
astral tendon
but i think that still going to be trigered multiple times if the unit is hit like 2 times

Yep every hit will fire
astral tendon
so the player will have a nice ear rape with 2 sounds at same time
astral tendon
but that will run only once? just like that waituntil i have?

Something like this
0 spawn
{

{
if(damage team_1 > 0.50) then

{
Team_1 say3D selectRandom["Team_Hit","Team_Hit2","Team_Hit3","Team_Hit4","Team_Hit5"];

Ok so i have a function that takes two variables like this sqf ["_objPos","_Dir"] // Variables are like this [Object Name/ID , Object Direction] The function has a while loop that, for demonstrational purposes just hints the vars parse into the function like this ```sqf
systemChat format ["_obj = %1 and _objPos = %2",_obj,_objPos];
So to sum up, my problem is that on the first while loop run, the code works well, then on the second run it doesn't parse in the correct vars, but for some reason _this select 0 now parses the player object. Does anyway have a clue as to why this happens?

Is that really your full code that you are currently using?
The fact that you edited in the systemChat afterwards tells me you didn't CTRL+A CTRL+C CTRL+V it
Saying that an object was given but expected was an array
Please post the complete error message

For that function yes. But this is how the function is spawned within a switch do statement```sqf
case "ammopk": { // ammoPack
[_objSpwnPos,_mrkDir] remoteExec ["mld_fnc_ammoMain",2];
};
ok, will do

wait. you are remoteExec'ing mld_fnc_ammoMain but inside mld_fnc_ammoMain you set mld_fnc_ammoMain to a empty function??

_objPos is wrong. The error is not inside the while loop.
Your _objSpwnPos is wrong
