The term "suspendable" refers to scheduled environment though (canSuspend command), so you should avoid it when talking about unscheduled environment. To not confuse people.

Suspend the script instance, not suspend the game.

I'm having an issue with a script on an OnLoad eventhandler in a custom dialog. Within the script I want to change the value of a listbox, the code I use is: ((findDisplay 10212) displayCtrl 1400) lbSetCurSel 2; This works if I set this as the action = in the config on a button, but it doesn't work in the script. Anyone have a clue what is wrong here?
little eagle
findDisplay can only access displays after they are created. onLoad is too soon. Just use params ["_display"]; instead to retrieve it.
kindred bane
would anyone help me make a simple script
server should start locked, and after 5 minutes unlock (as my mission is having trouble if you join too early)
little eagle
I think it will have to boil down to you fixing the mission so it does work from the start.
kindred bane
yeah but im making new mission or editing very soon so its just a temporary fix
peak plover
Sounds like a locality issue for scripts maybe?
have you tried not running all code on all clients?
kindred bane
i havent im not really good at coding D:
but i tried putting password on server and waiting for the mission to be at playing, and after that i could join
but is there a way to start the server locked and then unlock it after 5 minutes for a temp fix
little eagle
Not that I know of.
peak plover
Yes
kindred bane
#lock and #unlock i know but im not sure how i should make it be locked as the first thing that happends in the mission really
peak plover
_isOK = "MyServerCommandPassword" serverCommand "#lock";
apparently it's a viable example so it should work
kindred bane
hmnmm yeah i guess, but would i place it in the init.sqf?
peak plover
You should run that as soon as mission is loaded, @little eagle how is that new lobby coming along?
errant jasper
Run serverCommand #lock
little eagle
https://i.imgur.com/mFCCiqk.jpg
_group = ["Group 1", west] call Lobby_fnc_createGroup;
["Unit 1", _group] call Lobby_fnc_createSlot;
["Unit 2", _group] call Lobby_fnc_createSlot;
["Unit 3", _group] call Lobby_fnc_createSlot;
_group = ["Group 2", west] call Lobby_fnc_createGroup;
...
So that people can't slot up, but mission loads instantly
that way a soon as 1 person is in
it will run the init scripts
after a slight delay
kindred bane
ohhh right, but people need the slot selection its for a life server
little eagle
I absolutely hate how I use arrays and synch them for every created slot, so I will have to redo the internals completely and I'll probably reimplement cba hash just to get this to work with reasonable looking code and avoid all mod dependencies.
You can also delete the slots.
And groups.
little eagle
Sure, that is all details. One has to get the underlying system itself to work.
kindred bane
ok wait so, in the mission folder, init.sqf i added this
serverCommand #lock
[] spawn {sleep 300; serverCommand #unlock};
would that possible work? lock the server and after 5 minutes unlock?
peak plover
do it on initserver
little eagle
You need the password syntax I believe.
kindred bane
aight hold on
peak plover
if you do it on init. it will lock every time someon logs
little eagle
And it's either "unlock" or "#unlock", but not without quote marks.
thorn saffron
Whats is the condition to check if AI is NOT a member of any player group?
kindred bane
aight, so i added it to the initServer like this:
serverCommand #lock

should work?

!(_unit in units player)
?
Same thing about the quote marks with #lock.
And I still believe you need the server password syntax.

thorn saffron
Ok, now if I want to set int only for a player side, its it an MP scenario, then what would happen if there were player on all sides? The condition would have to be "if unit is NOT on a side where there are players". Hopefully it would make it work well in any combination, if say players were in co-op only on one side, on BLUFOR and OPFOR (INDFOR is just AI), or playrs in any and all factions.

Hey guys I want to understand the AI behaviour and combat stances, how they behave when in careless, safe, aware, combat, stealth and when set to never fire, hold fire - defend only, hold fire - engage at will, fire at will, fire at will - engage at will.

Nah, arrayIntersect needs an array on both sides, not a SIDE.

hey guys, if I want to crate a display which works like a additional thing to the hud, like a money bar or something, how can I do this? (I know how to create display but not how to make them unclickable and such)

Don't. Use the mission display (46) and add controls to it instead.
thorn saffron
In editor there is GUI editor AFAIK
little eagle
That's by far the easiest method.
Even if it's rarely used, because people rather copy paste what others cooked up.
still forum
@peak plover you are dripping
thorn saffron
so how can I check if an AI is not on a side where there are any players?
still forum
allPlayers select {side _x == side player}
something like that
Just get all players on that side. And if the array is empty then there are no players on that side
little eagle
Makes sense to me.
thorn saffron
hmm, I'm not sure this is correct, but then again I cannot script at all 😛
little eagle
{side group _x == side group _unit} count allPlayers == 0
You should probably learn it though. It's really not that hard if you understand basic logic and don't apply it to everything BI does.
playableSlotsNumber side group _unit == 0
Probably closer to what you need.
thorn saffron

Working out how to do stuff is often just searching around in the scripting command listing. After a while you have the basics of SQF itself in your head and a list of the common commands and capabilities and you get a better idea of what you can find and where. When I start a project I often spend time looking for what the API can give me and what it can't

NOTE: "Loaded" event handler should be added BEFORE the mission is loaded from save. Placing it in a function with preInit = 1; usually does the trick.
i dont get that, can some one give a exemple?
peak plover
class PLUGIN {
class init {
file = QPLUGIN_PATHFILES;
class setParams {postInit = 1;};
class postInit {postInit = 1;};
class spawnUnits {};
};
change postinit to preInit = 1;
little eagle
The note is absolute bs.
Obviously the one who wrote it doesn't understand how savegames work at all.
peak plover
How do they work?
astral tendon
nigel, were i put that?
little eagle
They work in a way where you can use Loaded everywhere, not necessarily preInit.
peak plover
In your functions library
little eagle
And preInit is not executed when loading a savegame.
peak plover
Ahh
little eagle
It's not what he wants. He wants an eh for the loading screen, not for resuming a savegame.
peak plover
The note means that if it's not in preinit, it will load the function when you first play it and re-load when you load save
So that could cause double units to spawn
astral tendon
it is atually to resume a save game
little eagle
The note means that if it's not in preinit, it will load the function when you first play it and re-load when you load save
No, loaded will never execute unless you load the savegame.
peak plover
Ohh, right
astral tendon
becasue i have a problem that the mussic does not play when loading a save game, so i was trying to fix that with a EH
peak plover
If you put it somewhere which runs after the game is loaded from save it won't even be processed
little eagle
Well then I was wrong and loaded is exactly what you need. Sorry.
peak plover
so it kinda makes sense?
little eagle
No, it doesn't nigel.
peak plover
So you adde the code to the EH, it will only run if it's added. If it's not added it will not run
little eagle
Savegames carry over all mission/ object eventhandlers, global variables and scripts that didn't disable serialization.
lone glade
that's not how EHs work
little eagle
No need to add Loaded after the game was loaded from save once.
Would mean that the thing runs twice the second time you load.
peak plover
[] spawn {
sleep 600;
>>addeventhandler loaded<<
};
//save game
now when I load the game I won't get code from EH
peak plover
people! PEOPLE WOULD DO THAT
little eagle
Ha
peak plover
🤖
little eagle
No one can save the game before postInit or any reasonable init.sqf
So it's no concern.
little eagle
He probably needs to restart a new game from scratch and not load it, because the saved mission he's testing on still uses the old scripts.
Therefore no loaded event.
peak plover
I've never used saves so a serious question
I spawned a loop to play music.
saved game
Does that script 'threaad' save?
when I load will it continue loop?
little eagle
The loop will continue, unless you used disableSerialization.
Which is what the command is used for.
peak plover
Ohh
That's.... opened up an idea
disable serilization vs sterilization, which is faster?
little eagle
private _script = 0 spawn {
disableSerialization;
sleep 100000;
};
_script spawn {
waitUntil {scriptDone _this};
hint "loaded save!";
};
I gueses this is single player only?
disableSerialization
Wait... nvm
I can save mp games.
little eagle
MP hosted games also have saves for the host, but it completely breaks stuff. E.g. clientOwner will no longer be 2 for the server.
peak plover
That's why god(jay crowe) invented profilenamsepace. So I can save my game in mp
I gotta test the speed for disableSerilization 'tho
astral tendon
urg, sorry nigel, i did not get that, there is a better step by step to this?
peak plover
Hmm I don't know because I assume music does not save? Did you try if your loop continues 'tho?
I assume your song is in a loop lik every few mintues it restarts?
Wait until it should restart and see if that works

file = QPLUGIN_PATHFILES;
class setParams {postInit = 1;};
class postInit {postInit = 1;};

!((allplayers arrayintersect (units _unit)) isEqualTo [])
previously it was a check to see if the AI was NOT in any player group, this time I need to go other way, to check if the AI actually IS in any player group
would adding "!" to "((allplayers arrayintersect (units _unit)) isEqualTo [])" give me this result?
little eagle
Yes.
At least read https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Operators and https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Control_Structures. They are better generally than what you'll get out of a chat. Everyone here assumes one knows how this works.
thorn saffron
I know how the ! works more or less, I was just asking if there wasn't any weird combination with the condition itself. I assume that "(!((allplayers arrayintersect (units _unit)) isEqualTo []))" returns either true or false, right?
little eagle
Yes.
The lowest priority command including after applying the parenthesis is isEqualTo and that reports a boolean.
The last command.
thorn saffron
Can I plop a switch&case stack into an IF condition?

case {...};
case {...; _isX = true};
};
if (_isX) then {
switch (_enableUncon) do {
case 1 {_isX = true;};

case 3 {_isX = false; };

if (((_reviveVal == 1 && {[_unit] call EFUNC(common,isPlayer)} || _reviveVal == 2)) && !_force && _isX) then {```dosen't matter now, got it working

You don't need the _isX = false; part.

And rename it to something reasonable.

Yes. You do that by making an init function.

If it's for ace, then you might as well use xeh though:

class Taro_init {
init = "execVM 'scripts\init.sqf'";

};
Less verbose.
thorn saffron
Pretty good, it still leaves the issue with units that join you after mission start, or ones you recruit.
However that is a less of an issue
oh, maybe a CBA button to re-designate everyone as medic, but it still leaves the issue of taking up a keybind
maybe I should add a new ACE menu action for that

Dunno, up to you. Could also be a setting.

I think I figured out a pretty neat solution to that automedic script thing: I think I would be able to add a new keybind with would let player call out for medic. The script would look for a closest friendly unit and the have it act as the automedic (move to player heal).
hmm, but this wouldn't solve the issue of medic not healing other soldiers

Fix the code causing your server to crash, you can add code to kick players off server if they join to fast (before its locked)
If you want to lock server faster, you will need to use 3rd party rcon application to lock via rcon

Just execute from your server code in some init sqf file, ideally whatever is started sooner

Any tips on how to best handle when a player presses ESC while in a menu? Atm i have an onUnload EH that will destroy the camera (The menu needs the camera as a backdrop) when the menu closes. The problem with this method is that it will also destroy the camera if i open up a small sub-menu off of that origianl menu (because it technically was unloaded i guess).
So if anyone has anyone experience with this sortof this can you tell me how you have/would go about it.

does that menu have a close button?
rotund cypress
Attach an keyhandler to it (the display) and then handle escape in that handler.
onKeyDown eventhandler.

not needed
limpid pewter
yes, but if they don't press the close button, but rather press ESC it will cause the bug that i don't want
It's sort of user error handlign i guess

yeah, it's a bit of a pain that it closes menus by default
If you disable the ESC key while in a menu, then you can't exit that game : (

@rotund cypress onUnload is what i am using atm
rotund cypress
What is the purpose? What are you trying to do exactly?
limpid pewter
nigel, i have tried that method too, and without a sleep statement in it, it will not reopen the menu
peak plover
you have to spawn it
limpid pewter
@rotund cypress Read the original post
peak plover
old code incoming
limpid pewter
hmm... maybe will try that if this doesn't work
peak plover
_force = missionNamespace getVariable ['BRM_insurgency_respawn_force',false];
if (_force) then {
if !([player,true] call BRM_insurgency_respawn_fnc_evaluateRespawnTime) then {
[] spawn {
//uiSleep 1;
createdialog "RscInsurgencyRespawn";
};
worked when I spawned it
rotund cypress
Oh use createDisplay @limpid pewter
If you do not want the original display to unLoad
_parentDisplay createDisplay "newDisplayClass"
lone glade
thefuck is that horror nigel
rotund cypress
^^
peak plover
old code but I had a simliar issue
rotund cypress
@peak plover tbh, that just don't seem to have anything todo with his issue.
macro
wtf?
lone glade
in general ignore nigel
peak plover
I wanted display to close only if the display was allowed to be closed
limpid pewter
wow , bit mean XD
peak plover
Pressing escape does nto close the display
limpid pewter
yeah i get what you're trying to do
rotund cypress
Hope scripting that is called.
limpid pewter
I did try this before but never with a sleep statement
limpid pewter
hm..
peak plover
Otherwise it won't create it because it already exists or sth
limpid pewter
yeah
lone glade
not needed to spawn it
rotund cypress
Heheh, new thread which doesn't need suspension. @peak plover
lone glade
it just needs to be executed the next frame

There is always better solutions to making a new thread or putting a random sleep.

[{[_this select 0, _this select 1] call FUNC(openBox)}, [_target, _player]] call CBA_fnc_execNextFrame; I use this for ACE Arsenal through ACE interactions
limpid pewter
@lone glade That shortcut thing worked as you said it would thanks
rotund cypress
Can someone send a link to CBA_fnc_execNextFrame, I am quite curious on that function.
I don't use CBA so not really familiar with their folder structure.
limpid pewter

peak plover
limpid pewter
@peak plover I was just looking for that google tutorial thing haha.
rotund cypress
Anyways @limpid pewter try createDisplay instead. It might solve your problem.
IIRC it wont unload the parent display
I take that back, it will not unload parent display.
lone glade
nope it won't
limpid pewter
Yeah thanks for all the tips. Will need to use a combination i think, the setup i have is a bit funky.
lone glade
it's because you create the child on the same frame and the parent is tasked for deletion
rotund cypress
A funky language requires funky solutions.
peak plover
^
rotund cypress
Funky and reckless are two different things though, keep that in mind.
limpid pewter
In one situtation i want it to close on ESC and the other i don't. Like i said a bit weird. Thanks everyone
lone glade
doesn't matter how you do it, it has to be on the next frame (or after)
limpid pewter
just testing now
rotund cypress
doesn't matter how you do it, it has to be on the next frame (or after)
if not using createDisplay, correct?
@lone glade
rotund cypress
Yes, but it would not unload the previous display
lone glade
yes it would 😄
limpid pewter
It works 👌
lone glade
i'm fairly sure you can't delete and create a display on the same frame
rotund cypress
That i am not sure of, but I know that if you create a display on the game display, obviously it wouldn't unload the game display.
Maybe if you are creating them at the same frame.
lone glade
nope it wouldn't, but I had that issue with the ACE interaction display when creating the arsenal one
and they are not linked in any way
rotund cypress
Cannot really comment on that since I don't use it.
lone glade
ACE Arsenal hasn't been release 😄 it's tasked for 3.12.0
rotund cypress
I don't use CBA or ACE at all.
peak plover
That's in test already with st NVG?
peak plover
👍🏿
lone glade
you NEED to use createDisplay on the next frame
I even tried with createDialog, same issue
rotund cypress
createDialog will unload previous display though IIRC
limpid pewter
Neither, in one situation the menu jsut closed, the other i close the current one and opened a new one with createDialog
Again it's funky.
lone glade
that's not the issue here, he's trying to create a UI element on the same frame an other one is deleted
peak plover
Can you not create 2 different elements on the same frame as well?
little eagle
I remember the game crashing when doing that alganthe.
lone glade
yeah, same here
altho it also simply didn't create the new UI element in some cases for me
better than crashing but worse than working I guess
little eagle
Also neither createDialog nor createDisplay unload anything. That's false.
createDisplay does hide the parent display though.
lone glade
nah
little eagle
That's the point.
lone glade
it depends actually, I have to hide the parent in ACE Arsenal's case
limpid pewter
Anyway it works now. I didn't end up needing any createDisplays,CBA_fnc_execNextFrame's ,etc... Just executes code to destroy camera on the condition that certain buttons haven't been pressed and willnot destroy camera if those buttons were pressed,etc... Simple, not elegant, but works
lone glade
3DEN display -> hides
Game UI -> doesn't hide
Arsenal display after loading the loadouts display -> doesn't hide
little eagle
By game ui, do you mean RscDisplayMission?
lone glade
all the HUD elements
little eagle
The RscUnitInfo thingies?
lone glade
yeah

LOW should be, because it's just like (((karts))) everyone gets it. But not sure
What does that mean commy

apex
the top or highest part of something, especially one forming a point.
Low is bottom is the opposite of top.

When writing a dll extension, is the working directory the root of the server's directory? So say I was writing to a file, I would write to say: logs\log_file.log
rotund cypress
What would you guys say is the best way to lock doors for a certain playerside only?
willow basin
Buildings or vehicles? If buildings:
_numberofdoors = getNumber(configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> (typeOf _building) >> "numberOfDoors");
...
for "_i" from 1 to _numberOfDoors do {
_building animate [format["door_%1_rot",_i],0];
_building setVariable [format["bis_disabled_Door_%1",_i],1];
};
and if you want it for all players, do _building setVariable [format["bis_disabled_Door_%1",_i],1,true];
oh crap, playerside ^^ not player sorry there. but you should be able to adjust
rotund cypress
Yeah I know how to disable doors.
I know how to disable it for playersides as well, but I am thinking what best way of doing it for one playerside would be.

I'm trying to fix a left shoulder weapon mod/script. I get this error when putting on a shoulder. The line bellow is reported as the source of the error
player setUnitTrait ["loadCoef", (player getUnitTrait "loadCoef") + _mass];
This is what RPT has to say on this matter:

Odd, I checked the BIki and loadCoef is something that exist, with leads me to believe that the script is doing something goofyit's not an error
it's just a message telling you BI fucked up, it's fixed on the dev branch / perf branch

that’s what i expect but i am seeing issues. trying to tackle why this does not work.
might be related to something else.
errant jasper
So if locality changes for JIP target, then it breaks?
little eagle
It shouldn't.
lone glade
^ as he said
errant jasper
Then why it matter who is the owner?
little eagle
It doesn't.
Tbh, the description is very strange on the wiki.
Object or Group or netId - The persistent execution of the given remoteExec statement will be attached to the given Object or Group, passed directly by reference or by their netId: _netId = "this is my car" remoteExec ["hint", 0, car]; or _netId = "this is my car" remoteExec ["hint", 0, netId car];Upon success, the command will return netId of the used Object or Group or netId. When Object or Group is deleted and becomes objNull or grpNull, the persistent remoteExec statement is automatically removed from JIP queue. Manual removal of the JIP statement could be done by passing either Object, Group or netId as usual:remoteExec ["", car]; or remoteExec ["", netId car];When JIP param is String in format "Number:Number", the string will be tested first whether or not it is the valid netId of an existing Object or Group, and if not the execution will be aborted, if yes, that Object or Group will be used to set persistent execution.
Seriously. I have no idea what they're talking about.
lone glade
you know what, it's probably because the punctuation is fucking terrible in that block of text
little eagle
Doesn't help, yes.
errant jasper
To be honest, I am quite skeptic about the system. Reading the part you link to .commy2 suggest the system is very fragile. You can attach the "execution" to an object or group. And you can cancel it by passing "". So you can only have one JIP entry for an object.
So if addons, or scripts, try to do more than one thing with the same object it breaks?
little eagle
This doc was written on friday afternoon. I can tell.

Hey guys, I currently have a bug within my mission, and my mission is quite large so it could be a lot of things. Here is the issue: sometimes players get bugged out, they cannot scrollwheel on things, for example cant scroll in / out of map, cant scroll on actions (addAction) etc. Does anyone here have any clues of what this can be? I know this can be a hundred different things but maybe someone has any ideas.
lone glade
dialog issues ?
errant jasper
Then how do the stack work:
if I do:
[data] remoteExecCall ["myFunc", 0, ObjX]
[data2] remoteExecCall ["myFunc2", 0, ObjX]
[] remoteExecCall ["", 0, ObjX]
And what if I leave out the last line.
lone glade
you use different IDs
errant jasper
So what you say is I can use a string as a key as long as it does not match "Number:Number", like "jip_123" and "jip_124". For objects, e.g. Blufor 1-4 are automatically coerced into say "1:4" as the key?
candid jay
id is the differentiator to remove a jip stack
lone glade
damn, the more I think about it the more I prefer CBA EHs
errant jasper
To me it is all just a mess. If I use a non-netid string, it will not be attached to the object. Then the JIP ticket will remain forever, and I have to manually do a check in the callback to see if the object is still around. And for a group target, what will be a mess since they might be recycled.
And if I do use a direct object target, I risk collision with other mods/scripts.
Unless I misunderstand.
lone glade
it's half finished
i'm fairly sure remoteExec setting mode 1 is still broken
aka transforms the jip stack into a spamfest for everyone else that isn't the JIP player
little eagle
"Mode 1"?
river meteor
What is a good way to transfer data between a client and the server without remoteExec?
little eagle
setVariable public and publicVariable
errant jasper
I still use CBA-style event handler for logic, regardless of the underlying command to transport.
lone glade
BIS_fnc_MP taps forehead
river meteor
But the client might still need to be told to act on those variables at a specific time and that would require a remoteExec?
lone glade
nope
river meteor
I suppose it could use looping and waiting for a variable to change
lone glade
what
little eagle
publicVariableEventHandler
errant jasper
Though I did recently switch the underlying command from publicVariable to remoteExecCall because publicVariable sendings were no longer being broadcast. If anything I would have thought it the other way around. (at least in my particular scenario - no idea what would block it)
river meteor
Ah. Good thing to know
errant jasper
I regularly see people on the forum and github making claims that remoteExecCall is much more efficient than publicVariable(Client). But don't see why, the same efficiency could then be implemented for publicVariable* commands. So I treat it as unsubstantiated.
little eagle
It's newer, so it must be better, right?
lone glade
also remoteExecCall is just a 100% this is gonna run unscheduled variant of remoteExec
they were made at the same time 😄

No, they were not.

0=ERRO, 1 = OK, 2=Multi Message (you can ignore that, it should be handled by your sqf code)
The issue is your returned result isn't wrapped in quotations, so when arma call compile / parseSimpleArray its going to be null
Depending on if you are using SQL or SQL_CUSTOM different ways to fix it
river meteor
I assume I can just fix it by inserting it with quotes in the sqf, using SQL
rotund cypress
Most likely some full screen one as well
tough abyss
What are you storing in the database ? Player name?
river meteor
yes
tough abyss
Change the datatype to varchar and it should automatically get quotations added to it.
Assuming you are using SQL with TEXT/TEXT2 option https://bitbucket.org/torndeco/extdb3/wiki/extDB3 - SQL
The idea with SQL Protocol, you store strings in VARCHAR & arrays etc in TEXT datatype (Its basically legacy method)
If you use SQL_CUSTOM, you got alot more fine tuned control for what it will do
river meteor
Is extdb3 expensive to use? I want to avoid actually storing arrays and using relationships between tables instead, but this will result in more queries
tough abyss
If you are using async method talking to extension, those queries are happening in another thread.
Best way is to just try it out, but you should be fine
river meteor
Cool, appreciate the solution for my lack of quotes problem. Would have taken me a long time to figure that one out
tough abyss
Pretty sure thats the old method for writing c# extensions for arma, better ways todo c# extensions these days.
(Maca134 has a blog entry showing how, and same method used in a3 samples)
If you are talking about the c# database that used A2Net, i i was under impression extDB extensions replaced using it for Database communication.
(Firefly actually helped me out with intial switching over to CMake Build system)
Also under impression it was awkward todo multiple queries and it couldn't handle results that went over extension return size limit
But i never used it myself.
tough abyss
That is there issue, yeah a2net life servers had some bad code to make queries safe & make sure only 1 query ran at a time.
Also its completely beyound your ability to fix thoses issues, since you aren't server owner or dev
Also extDB extensions are flexible if something isn't working for something in particular i.e crates on a server. Its 99% because someone messed up SQL Queries or SQF code.

Am able to cycle through this loop fine, but only one marker gets made, the first one. Any obvious tells as to why that might be?
for "_i" from _y0 to _y1 step _secY do {
_y0 = _y0 + _secY;
_secArr set [1, _y0];
private _markerName = toString _secArr;
[_markerName, _secArr, _markerName, "hd_dot", "ICON", 1, [1, 1], "ColorBlack", 1] call RND_fnc_getMarker;
};
_x0 = _x0 + _secX;
_secArr set [0, _x0];
};```getMarker just creates a marker with optional params
(Attempt was: start at xy coords, create markers at predefined intervals along y axis, return to x position, increment x by predefined number, repeat y increments, repeat all this until stepped through all increments of x. hoping to end up seeing a grid of markers, etc.)
little eagle
Shouldn't it be createMarker, and not getMarker?
ivory nova
yep, but that's a function i wrote myself for practice
little eagle
I don't see _x0, _x1, _y0 etc. being defined anywhere.
little eagle
Error is probably somewhere not shown here.
ivory nova
Hm
little eagle
Sure it only creates one marker and not thousands all in the same spot?
little eagle
What is _secX supposed to be anyway? Distance between points on the x axis?
ivory nova
Yep
private _secY = _height / _rows;```From
private _columns = floor(sqrt(_sectors));
private _rows = ceil(_sectors / _columns);```Then why do you increment _x0? (x0 + _secX;) and not just use _x from the for loop?
For loop already increments it, so you're doing it twice for no reason. Making the function look more complex than it has to be and therefore harder to debug.
little eagle
Also using floats as step in a for loop a bad decision imo. They usually operate with integers. I don't trust the rounding and how the game might handle the iterator being slightly larger than the final value.
little eagle
for "_x" from 0 to (_colums - 1) do {
is usually what is done.
ivory nova
I'll give it a shot
Thanks!
Also I noticed this
"private <array>" and "private <string>" are deprecated. Consider using the private modifier directly at variable initialization i.e.: private _var = "value";
Does that mean I should be using private like this from now on? ```private _x0 = _p1 select 0;
private _y0 = _p1 select 1;
private _x1 = _p2 select 0;
private _y1 = _p2 select 1;
private _length = (abs(_x1 - _x0));
private _height = (abs(_y1 - _y0));```
little eagle
Where does it say that?
ivory nova
The private tooltip in the VSC SQF extension I have
little eagle
_p1 params ["_x0", "_y0"];
_p2 params ["_x1", "_y1"];
private _length = abs (_x1 - _x0);
private _height = abs (_y1 - _y0);
imo
little eagle
I wouldn't call private string and array deprecated, but there is no reason to use them as the keyword version is better in every way. And everyone who disagrees is a fraud or contrarian.
Oh, wow, I can do that?
Yes.
little eagle
Agreed.

I remember hearing about a big update to the scripting language not too long ago, is that still planned?
little eagle
Not in A3.
ivory nova
Ahh

You are hearing voices

It told me to burn things
It forced me to make this script shit
Was described as C# like, which was nice
little eagle
I think it actually tries to tell you to get some sleep xD
ivory nova
😃
Not 4PM here yet
But good recommendation either way
@little eagle By, not in A3, I assume that means you have info on A4
hmu with the secrets
little eagle
There is no announcement for A4 afaik, ánd the C#-ish language is called EnScript or EnForce and they make it for the Enfusion engine iirc.
Which is a split from RV before A3.
ivory nova
Ahhhh, that's right, remember hearing that name
Guess I better add learnC# to the list
little eagle
If I had to make a bet then I'd say sqf (and sqs) stays in A4. But what do I know.
ivory nova
I bet you're right!
little eagle
Oh, as of today, Enfusion/DayZ game is 4 years old.
ivory nova
Was that ever usable by the public?
little eagle
DayZ? Sure. They call it Alpha, but might as well call this game Alpha.
ivory nova
Oh, I meant Enfusion 😃
I haven't touched DayZ since launch though, maybe time to see what has changed
peak plover
They kept developing and releasing 'dlc'. Which is pretty much another word for `It's alpha
Should do same for dayz, so we could get our hands on enfusion propper
little eagle
I haven't touched it either. Don't own it and have no interest in it. And afaik, EnScript is still wip.
peak plover
Also PUBG said they 'might' get modding in the future very early on
So I'm sure if they do, some modders move to that
little eagle
I don't even know. Does DayZ have mods like A3?
little eagle
So yes it does have mods?
peak plover
Previous engine was copy pasta from like ToH
or some shid
So I assume everything for mods worked like in normal games
little eagle
Can't find any news on EnScript that aren't like a year old. Who knows, maybe they've given up. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
peak plover
Yeah, been quiet
i think dayz has been to release (current year) + 1
since first a release
peak plover
Meanwhile modders have most of the dayz features in arma mods
little eagle
That's what drives Arma. The scripting support. (Mission or mod is secondary)
So if you drop that = game is dead on arrival.
peak plover
Yeah
So
Either they fully fledge it out 100% autist mode with deep features like clipping your toenails which grow to cleaning your gun and having to assemble a gun 1 splint at a time.
Or they have mod support so people can have features they would really like to have
little eagle
We got enum warnings in an update 2 weeks ago. I can't believe they're going to get rid of SQF and waste time on stuff like that.
Although you never know.
Or they have mod support so people can have features they would really like to have
Really strange that what was essentially a mod forgot about that apparently.

ARMA3 The very first game to graduate from Early Access.
The oldest game still unfinished has been in Early Access for 4 years, 8 months, 22 days. DayZ in particular has been in Early Access for 3 years, 11 months, 26 days.
Funny how these things work out.

I liked the mod. Literally every other mod turned game

Well it's not like enum errors would be hard to add...
We already know they did it "quick quick" instead of implementing it properly
little eagle
And how do we know that?
And even if it's easy, doesn't explain why you'd add it to something that's being phased out.
tough abyss
Alot of dayz has been rewritten, it prob would require to much work to add support for SQF i.e look what happend with java support in arma3.
Plus its alot easier to drop support for it when doing a new engine, otherwise why bother making up a new scripting language in first place.
I would suspect they would use/fork dayz sa engine, for next arma game (if/when they announce it)
Imo they prob just have some people to maintain arma3 to keep community alive until they release dayz modding support / announce arma4.
On plus side some of the small changes they been doing are aimed at content creators / catching common errors i.e skeleton errors / enum errors etc
still forum
it prob would require to much work to add support for SQF You mean no SQF in Enfusion because too much work to add?
@tough abyss

That is what I would assume, last I heard they were/had stripped out last bits of sqf. Or that could in next patch.
But I don't keep up in dayz SA Dev blogs

Are there any known issues with radioChannelAdd? Im using it to add players to a few channels when they first spawn as well as respawn/get revived but for some odd reason the channels their meant to be in wont be available randomly. radioChannelAdd is being called on the client, using publicVariable'd channel ID's created on the server btw.
still forum
problem after respawn?
warm gorge
Honestly cant say ive identified when it happens, just that randomly people will complain that they dont have the certain channels. Issues only started happening when I changed from calling radioChannelAdd from the server to the client, but surely thats not the issue
subtle ore
@warm gorge Then have the idiots that complain a reason to give you when it happends
warm gorge
Yeah I wish it was that easy haha
subtle ore
Lol :D
lone glade
it is, add logging, ask for RPTs -> done
subtle ore
The biki doesn't specify local or global effects for radioChannelAdd
@lone glade I am assuming in this case there were none
warm gorge
Yeah I think ill just add in some diag_log's to the script and whenever someone reports it just get em to send it to me. And yeah theres not much info on the command, however ive seen some people execute it on the server, and others on the client.
lone glade
make 2-3 tests to determine if it's AG / AL and, or EG / EL and be done with it.
warm gorge
How could I do that in regards to this issue?
lone glade
check if the command works when giving local arguments that aren't local to the machine running the command
check if the channel is added remotely if it's ran on an other machine
peak plover
run command on server. see if there are resulkts on client
Why did I not think of this? What a trick
subtle ore
The radioChannelAdd takes clients in an array, so it's possible it's a global command
lone glade
warm gorge
I used to run it on the server and it was fine. Now I run it on the client and its fine 99% of the time except it somehow bugs out every now and then
warm gorge
Thats for radioChannelCreate
lone glade
I also wanna point out those are TKOH commands
subtle ore
Adding the channel though is different
lone glade
considering radioChannelAdduses the ID returned by create the same limitations would apply
lone glade
otherwise it'd be completely stupid design
warm gorge
If it could only be run on the server, I wouldnt be able to add units to them on the client which I can
subtle ore
That would make sense
peak plover
radioChannelAdd should work on client
lone glade
ever tried using https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/customChat instead ?
woops, wrong one
huh, I was sure there was an other way to create custom channels, apparently not
peak plover
radioChannelCreate?
create on server and then use add on client to add that one to the client

@wind sapphire You shouldn't be having to do this:

diag_log format["%1's Editor Preview Path %2",_x >> 'displayName',_x >> 'editorPreview'];

Hello Friends,
Is there a way of displaying the vanilla score at the end of a mission without pressing "P" ?
like on Debrief or something
quartz coyote
but this is for only one player ... how can i get the full scoreboard ?
simple solstice
foreach it for allPlayers
errant jasper
You will probably have to let the server store the information, if you want it to work at the end for players who disconnect ingame.
quartz coyote
@simple solstice like this ?
{getPlayerScores _x;} foreach allPlayers;
Yeah, but you probably want to store it somewhere:
_scores = allPlayers apply {getPlayerScores _x;};
quartz coyote
and then how do I display them on the screen ???
errant jasper
If it has to look better ugly, you probably have to make your own dialog.
Maybe the best approach would be to find out how to active the original scoresboard dialog, via scripting instead of pressing the key.
quartz coyote
that's what I originaly intended to do ...
I'll do it another way. thanks anyways !

@quartz coyote Found it: createDialog "RscDisplayMPScoreTable";

@little eagle awesome ! Thanks guys !

Hmm. Also maybe try this? https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/showScoretable
errant jasper
I think in SP, it won't show anything
little eagle
Yeah.
Guess mine is the more customizeable approach, while this might show the default in MP.
errant jasper
Agree. Dunno, if kill counters (kill events) are still broken with ACE, but if it is, you use a workaround, and then use your appraoch to display the real counts.
little eagle
They are. : (
It should be better with the medical rewrite, but who knows if that ever finishes.
little eagle
Seems like that if you want something, you have to do it yourself. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
lone glade
why'd you think I wrote an arsenal clone
little eagle
You got sick of the vanilla one.
lone glade
me after using ACE Arsenal for a month while coding it:
"now that I think about it BI Virtual Arsenal can't be that bad"
30s later
"nevermind"
errant jasper
Remember, I had to tweak Arsenal also. Recall, it had some weird scope (config) issues
Think it has something like arsenalScope. And if it wasn't defined it would not be in the default arsenal. But if you made your own whitelist, it would still forbid items without the proper config scope.
I liked the concept. Just not the execution. And I also think it should work with limited amount as better way (cooler interface) to access an ordinary crate.

I should've named the project arsenal 2.0
