Alright, well assuming it's pseudo code, will it run the next lines? Trying to understand how exitWith works since it seems to suggest that it will only exit the current scope and that would include the if scope I assume. Also trying to figure out how to do a middle of the script return

TRying to get the "Target Human" to not be destroyed when shot multiple times. But the wasy way to set allow damage false, do not work, thenthe stats on the Scoreboard on the target wont work. any one have a workaround or an idea?

subtle ore Dec 16, 2017, 9:53 PM

#

@tulip otter what scoreboard?

tulip otter Dec 16, 2017, 9:55 PM

#

on the target human there is a scoreboard when you go next to it, with range and how amny times a player have hit that target

#

Just pointless when it dies after 10 shots..

#

And it allow damage is false, then no hits is registered on the scoreboard

#

while {alive S61} do { if (damage S61 > 0) then {S61 setDamage 0;} }

#

trying this, but it do not work.. gone blind on what the error is... S61 is the variable for the target

Hi,
is there the way to alter mission parameters for a mission played as SP scenario. I know that parameters can be altered via UI for hosted game and DS, but for SP the default values seem to be unalterable. Or maybe i'm missing something in SP ui

@south pasture Install MCC and use Zeus maybe?

One thin I SORELY lack in Arma 3 is ANY mod that has a full shopping + money for kills module system you can just plug and play into missions. MCC only really lacks the item shop as it has the vehicles and units shops

@south pasture you'd have to show a dialog when the player starts the mission

Nah, the dialog for all diff ACE params and some of mine

#

oh, those, well they're getting removed for CBA settings

south pasture Dec 17, 2017, 6:08 AM

#

@lone glade I mean the params defined in description.ext

class Params {
    class EnableCampaignReset {
        title = "ability to start a fresh campaign";
            values[] = {0,1};
            texts[] = {"Off","On"};
            default = 0;
            typeName = "BOOL";
            force = 1;
    };
...

you can affect those from hosted/DS start ui, but SP ui just uses defaults

lone glade Dec 17, 2017, 6:10 AM

#

yeah, that's normal, you need to make a custom dialog to change those in SP

rotund cypress Dec 17, 2017, 3:57 PM

Ah

little eagle Dec 17, 2017, 3:58 PM

And you can only pass arrays as args now or something like that. They might have reversed that though.

still forum Dec 17, 2017, 3:58 PM

Also.. You know that engine command for that would probably just end up with https://feedback.bistudio.com/T123355 ? That would be terrible

little eagle Dec 17, 2017, 3:58 PM

#

That's why they should fix that issue first before making custom events a (set of) command(s).

#

VBS has some of them. Even handles remote machines. That was the original inspiration for the custom events.

#

whereLocalEvent etc. or weird names like that.

But @little eagle do you know 100% if I call the scripted eventhandler once it will execute that. If I call it twice, roughly the same time it will be queued and handle first one first, then go on to the next one?

little eagle Dec 17, 2017, 4:01 PM

#

Yes? How else would it work?

#

Randomly shuffle the array for no reason

rotund cypress Dec 17, 2017, 4:01 PM

#

You never know with BI

little eagle Dec 17, 2017, 4:02 PM

#

It's like function calls over an array of functions.

#

Where you have api to append the array.

rotund cypress Dec 17, 2017, 4:03 PM

#

yeah

little eagle Dec 17, 2017, 4:03 PM

#

It only really gets interesting once you can call events on remote machines.

#

Otherwise the only usage is for stuff like the arsenal which might throw some events that are hard to time.

rotund cypress Dec 17, 2017, 4:04 PM

#

Well, event handling can be crucial sometimes. Especially to resolve issues with the first one executing not being the first one who finishes it

Hey there, we are trying to use player setIdentity _face; in Multiplayer to change a Face during spawning. It works locally, but all other players see the standard face. Is there a way to get this to work in Multiplayer?

is there a script to make a unit zeus?

winter dune Dec 17, 2017, 5:42 PM

#

If I want to create a list, and then update it, should I spawn or call a function?

#

I didn't really understand how and when should be using spawn or call when playing with dialogs

little eagle Dec 17, 2017, 5:54 PM

#

@kindred lichen

// on server
private _curator = createGroup sideLogic createUnit ["ModuleCurator_F", [0,0,0], [], 0, "NONE"];
_unit assignCurator _curator;

kindred lichen Dec 17, 2017, 5:55 PM

#

oh, awesome thanks

little eagle Dec 17, 2017, 5:55 PM

#

@winter dune Everything about ui should go into unscheduled scripts and therefore not use spawn.

#

Captain, this has to run on the server. assignCurator will fail on a client.

kindred lichen Dec 17, 2017, 5:56 PM

#

do the 0s mean that it's like everything unlocked?

little eagle Dec 17, 2017, 5:57 PM

#

[0,0,0] is the position, and 0 is the radius around the positon.

#

It's just what createUnit expects. Where the logic is created doesn't matter.

#

It's a logic and takes no space.

#

I also made the flag at the end "NONE" now instead of "". Because the game now complains otherwise.

winter dune Dec 17, 2017, 6:03 PM

#

@little eagle for example, I created a dialog and in the onLoad EVH of the dialog, I spawned my function, inside that function, I spawned the function which updates the list, is there a way to make it all unscheduled?

Its just setFace

#

The command is setFace

#

Only thing that needs whitelisting.

Dunno what else to tell you. setFace has to be white listed. The wiki explains it all.

F(setFace,ANYONE) this is what we tried as whitelisting (like with all the other functions) it is not working

okay, i am giving up. Scripting command 'setface' is not allowed to be remotely executed is shown, when we try to execute it with F(setFace,ANYONE) if we use F(BIS_fnc_setFace,ANYONE) there is nothing in the Log, but it is still not working for the Rest

only local player is shown the changes. The other users on the server are not seing the changes

Hello all,
I'm looking for a way to display the name of the player that has the best score on the screen of all players.
I already get the HUD part, but can't find an EASY way on scripting the "get the score of all players and pic the highest then display his name"

#

To be honest, i'm really struggling with Arrays and how to create then use one ...

river meteor Dec 18, 2017, 9:19 AM

#

@quartz coyote You could use getPlayerScores command to get a specific player's score, put that in a loop for all players and keep a variable to track the player with the highest score. In the loop if the player you are currently on has a higher score than your max score player, update the max score player to that new player. At the end of your loop you will have found the highest score player

quartz coyote Dec 18, 2017, 9:21 AM

#

right I had guessed that but my problem is I can't get round to scripting that "keep a var to track the player with the highest score"

#

I just don't understand how to script it

little eagle Dec 18, 2017, 9:30 AM

#

private _temp = allPlayers apply {[getPlayerScores _x select 5, _x]};
_temp sort false;
_temp select 0 select 1

#

That should report the player with the highest score. ~~If two or more have the highest score, the alphanumeric last one will be reported.~~

#

Actually I think it's the one who appears first in the allPlayers array.

there is an example sqf _arr = [5.21725,1.30859,4,5.03028,1]; _arr sort true; hint str _arr; //[1,1.30859,4,5.03028,5.21725]... sort false; will sort highest first

#

SP and MP

#

both don't work

#

but with bis_fnc_dynamicText it works in SP and MP

little eagle Dec 18, 2017, 12:33 PM

#

if (!hasInterface) exitWith {};
as first line would fix SP.

#

Instead of !isServer.

quartz coyote Dec 18, 2017, 12:33 PM

#

but SP is some kindof Server so this isn't the problem

little eagle Dec 18, 2017, 12:34 PM

#

You have to execute cutRsc on every machine, and in MP you just quit on the clients.

#

And the dedicated server, the only machine where it would be shown, doesn't see it obviously.

#

Ah, I see another problem.

#

x and y are -2, so it's off screen.

#

Then you put it on screen with ctrlSetPositon.

#

But ctrlSetPosition only moves the control slowly, where the speed is defined with ctrlCommit.

#

ctrlCommit 0 for "instantaneous" for example.

#

But I don't see ctrlCommit anywhere in your code.

quartz coyote Dec 18, 2017, 12:37 PM

#

I see

#

that is probably the problem

little eagle Dec 18, 2017, 12:38 PM

#

You should only move it on screen once, and not in the loop.

#

It never changes position anyway.

#

Also, since this is the future:

quartz coyote Dec 18, 2017, 12:39 PM

#

That was the problem !
((UiNamespace GetVariable "dm_hud") DisplayCtrl 23501) ctrlCommit 0;

#

added that in

#

and it works

#

SP && MP

little eagle Dec 18, 2017, 12:40 PM

#

    class dm_hud {
        //onLoad = "uiNamespace setVariable ['dm_hud', _this select 0]"; <-- remove this
        class controls {
            class hud1 {
                onLoad = "uiNamespace setVariable ['dm_hud', _this select 0]"; // <-- add this

#

Then you can use:

(uiNamespace getVariable "dm_hud")

instead of:

((UiNamespace GetVariable "dm_hud") DisplayCtrl 23501)

                text = "";

#

#

shadow = true;
should be
shadow = 1;

quartz coyote Dec 18, 2017, 12:46 PM

#

thx very much !

#

okay

little eagle Dec 18, 2017, 12:46 PM

#

Either that or remove it altogether. Because atm it's just a bugged entry that does nothing.

#

Depends on whether you want the shadow text or not.

#

These:
controlsBackground[] = {};
objects[] = {};
can be removed as they do nothing when empty.
And:
movingEnable = 0;
doesn't work for RscTitles obviously, so might as well get rid of that too. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

If you cut down all the superfluous stuff, you might even be able to find something in future.

quartz coyote Dec 18, 2017, 12:53 PM

#

Nice thank you !

#

So now i'm going to try and RemoteExec the CutRsc

little eagle Dec 18, 2017, 12:54 PM

#

Probably better off putting it into a separate script and use remoteExec on that function.

quartz coyote Dec 18, 2017, 12:55 PM

#

Does it really make a difference ? because i'm trying to keep the number of separate scripts small

little eagle Dec 18, 2017, 12:58 PM

#

Why?

quartz coyote Dec 18, 2017, 12:58 PM

#

make it more simple to edit

little eagle Dec 18, 2017, 12:59 PM

#

Then you should make the script you're currently on just execute everywhere.

quartz coyote Dec 18, 2017, 12:59 PM

#

ah right

little eagle Dec 18, 2017, 12:59 PM

#

I don't see any need for remoteExec here. This should work best as a local script.

#

Running on every machine with hasInterface.

quartz coyote Dec 18, 2017, 1:05 PM

#

my remote exec isn't working

#

remoteExec ["dm_fnc_DisplayScore"];

#

most have forgot something

little eagle Dec 18, 2017, 1:07 PM

#

Maybe dm_fnc_DisplayScore is undefined.

quartz coyote Dec 18, 2017, 1:08 PM

#

it is I put it in my cfgFunction in Description.ext

#

just check everythinh

#

It's like it it remoteexecing it but script is just not working on Clients ...

little eagle Dec 18, 2017, 1:09 PM

#

When is it executed?

#

The remoteExec.

quartz coyote Dec 18, 2017, 1:09 PM

#

in initServer

little eagle Dec 18, 2017, 1:10 PM

#

Maybe the client hasn't created the mission display yet and therefore cutRsc fails silently.

quartz coyote Dec 18, 2017, 1:10 PM

#

yes

#

weared ... it has something to do with MP... in SP it's working perfectly

austere granite Dec 18, 2017, 1:14 PM

#

do the clients actually have the function available?

#

: remoteExec ["dm_fnc_DisplayScore"]; only works if the client knows what function that is

#

if you only define the function on the server it wont work

#

quartz coyote Dec 18, 2017, 1:15 PM

no worries 😄

austere granite Dec 18, 2017, 1:15 PM

#

for the client probably put a waitUntil {!isNull (findDispay 46)}

quartz coyote Dec 18, 2017, 1:15 PM

#

what does that do ?

austere granite Dec 18, 2017, 1:15 PM

#

: Maybe the client hasn't created the mission display yet and therefore cutRsc fails silently.

#

wait till the mission display is created

quartz coyote Dec 18, 2017, 1:16 PM

#

ok

#

LOOOL
Just put a Sleep 0.02; in my script before the CutRsc (I'd seen that in some other system) and it now works

#

Thanks Arma 3......

little eagle Dec 18, 2017, 1:19 PM

#

Use the waitUntil, or it might fail for JIP clients.

#

Those have simulation and therefore time running before they confirm the briefing etc, so the sleep time will pass before they have their mission display.

#

And yes, scheduled scripts, cutRsc etc. All mission scripting. It's all race conditions like this and hot garbage.

quartz coyote Dec 18, 2017, 1:21 PM

#

Okay well finaly finish ! Thanks some much for your help !

#

waitUntil {!isNull (findDispay 46)};
This gives me an generic error in expression

cedar kindle Dec 18, 2017, 1:34 PM

id recommend using an editor with syntax highlight for sqf and you’d see those errors easily

Hi folks! Trying to get back into missing making here, and just trying to get used to the new editor/scripting (i have arma 2 experience with minimal sqs/sqf) and I'm already stumped by something that I hope you guys can help with: what is the bis fnc (or other method?) to order a unit to enter a vehicle?

-showScriptErrors has to be set as flag, and -noLogs has to be unset as a flag.

So.. TIL the hard way that:

[] remoteExec ["tag_fnc_myFun1", 0, _unit];
[] remoteExec ["tag_fnc_myFun2", 0, _unit];
[] remoteExec ["tag_fnc_myFun3", 0, _unit];

only tag_fnc_myFun3 will be called for JIP

#

as _unit is used as an identifier, similarly as if it were a STRING, something that is definitely not clear in the docs https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/remoteExec

little eagle Dec 18, 2017, 5:04 PM

#

Yes, that's the point?

candid jay Dec 18, 2017, 5:10 PM

#

Well no

#

If it's a STRING ID, yes, but if it's an object then I expected that it would simply ensure that if the object is deleted, then the remoteExec call is removed from the JIP queue

#

Instead, the object is also treated as an unique ID.

#

and if you read the docs, the mention of a unique ID is clearly related to the arg being a STRING but no mention of the arg being an unique identifier if it's an object passed in there.

little eagle Dec 18, 2017, 5:14 PM

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

candid jay Dec 18, 2017, 5:14 PM

yeah right

#

as said: the hard way, Things Broke(TM)

little eagle Dec 18, 2017, 5:15 PM

I never had the need to use something like that. I'd rather keep my own arrays.

candid jay Dec 18, 2017, 5:15 PM

#

postInit in function library

so i have a function in init.sqf, put the postInit = 1, then that will execute that function locally?

edgy dune Dec 18, 2017, 8:44 PM

#

so question

#

ive been trying to add a addAction to all empty vheicles

#

like so

#

{

_x  addAction ["addActionThing",
{
//code
},[1],0,false,true,""," driver  _target == _x"];


}forEach (vehicles select { side _x == civilian });

#

my question is

#

is it possible to addAction with a forloop and if so wat did I do wrong

#

if I do

#

_this  addAction ["addActionThing",
{
//code
},[1],0,false,true,""," driver  _target == _x"];

#

it works but id really like to have it on a forloop and do it for all empty vics

indigo snow Dec 18, 2017, 9:20 PM

#

nothing about a forEach loop would stop addAction from working

#

@river meteor Maybe: style = LB_MULTI + ST_NO_RECT;
That's how it works for RscEdit.

edgy dune Dec 18, 2017, 10:30 PM

#

so for some reason a foreach loop doesnt allow me to add addAction to vehciles

#

heres the code

#

{

_x  addAction ["Add Action Name",
{
hint "Action Done";
},[1],0,false,true,""," driver  _target == _x"];
[west, "HQ"] sideChat format["Action Added"];

}forEach (vehicles select { side _x == civilian });

#

any ideas why?

queen cargo Dec 18, 2017, 10:37 PM

#

vehicles select { side _x == civilian } what does this return

#

also where are you running that

#

addAction has only local effects

edgy dune Dec 18, 2017, 10:38 PM

#

the code u asked about returns a list of all empty vheicles

#

empty vics are unde rthe civ faction

queen cargo Dec 18, 2017, 10:38 PM

#

lemme repeat

#

check what it contains

little eagle Dec 18, 2017, 10:39 PM

#

Does it print that sideChat thing?

edgy dune Dec 18, 2017, 10:39 PM

#

queen cargo Dec 18, 2017, 10:39 PM

driver _target == _x

little eagle Dec 18, 2017, 10:39 PM

_x is undefined

edgy dune Dec 18, 2017, 10:40 PM

little eagle Dec 18, 2017, 10:41 PM

#

It will work. Don't even need to try.

edgy dune Dec 18, 2017, 10:41 PM

#

wouldnt the _x be defined in the foreach loop though?

little eagle Dec 18, 2017, 10:41 PM

#

No.

#

The condition is a different script instance.

#

No local variables carry over.

edgy dune Dec 18, 2017, 10:41 PM

@little eagle I use your zeus script to give predefined players zeus, but for some reason those modules don't allow me to check the attributes of objects. It works with a normal editor module. Do you know what might cause this problem?

"check the attributes of objects"

#

?

south rivet Dec 18, 2017, 10:44 PM

Okay... can anyone (cc: @still forum ) explain why call compile is 4.2x FASTER than parseSimpleArray, even though the wiki states:
the command is on average 3x faster than similar call compile string array method.

parseSimpleArray "[100 floating point numbers]"; - 0.0345ms
call compile "[100 floating point numbers]"; - 0.0082ms

#

Test for yourself:

parseSimpleArray "[1.1,2.1,3.1,4.1,5.1,6.1,7.1,8.1,9.1,10.1,1.1,2.1,3.1,4.1,5.1,6.1,7.1,8.1,9.1,10.1,1.1,2.1,3.1,4.1,5.1,6.1,7.1,8.1,9.1,10.1,1.1,2.1,3.1,4.1,5.1,6.1,7.1,8.1,9.1,10.1,1.1,2.1,3.1,4.1,5.1,6.1,7.1,8.1,9.1,10.1,1.1,2.1,3.1,4.1,5.1,6.1,7.1,8.1,9.1,10.1,1.1,2.1,3.1,4.1,5.1,6.1,7.1,8.1,9.1,10.1,1.1,2.1,3.1,4.1,5.1,6.1,7.1,8.1,9.1,10.1,1.1,2.1,3.1,4.1,5.1,6.1,7.1,8.1,9.1,10.1,1.1,2.1,3.1,4.1,5.1,6.1,7.1,8.1,9.1,10.1]";

call compile "[1.1,2.1,3.1,4.1,5.1,6.1,7.1,8.1,9.1,10.1,1.1,2.1,3.1,4.1,5.1,6.1,7.1,8.1,9.1,10.1,1.1,2.1,3.1,4.1,5.1,6.1,7.1,8.1,9.1,10.1,1.1,2.1,3.1,4.1,5.1,6.1,7.1,8.1,9.1,10.1,1.1,2.1,3.1,4.1,5.1,6.1,7.1,8.1,9.1,10.1,1.1,2.1,3.1,4.1,5.1,6.1,7.1,8.1,9.1,10.1,1.1,2.1,3.1,4.1,5.1,6.1,7.1,8.1,9.1,10.1,1.1,2.1,3.1,4.1,5.1,6.1,7.1,8.1,9.1,10.1,1.1,2.1,3.1,4.1,5.1,6.1,7.1,8.1,9.1,10.1,1.1,2.1,3.1,4.1,5.1,6.1,7.1,8.1,9.1,10.1]";

twin shadow Dec 19, 2017, 1:24 AM

Hello everyone. Im kinda new to scripting and ive been looking into something specific so im trying my luck here. I want to make an ingame cinematic intro for an MP mission. Exemple: screen starts black then slowly transfer into first person. I want the player unit to be controlled by AI to follow a path and keep the player access to head movement. Exemple. Player dismount from a truck and start walking toward a plane the climb on it without the player input. Then later on he get parachuted from the plane then at that point regain control of his body. Ive been looking all over internet and cant find anything about it.

tough abyss Dec 19, 2017, 1:24 AM

#

Depends on your string i.e "[1,[[[""2""]]],true,[4,""five"",false]]" is slightly faster with parseSimpleArray than with call compile for me

final vessel Dec 19, 2017, 1:26 AM

#

@cedar kindle 0.0090ms vs 0.0178 for 100 strings

#

Take those arrays and enclose them in single quotes and feel free to test:
https://github.com/overfl0/Pythia/wiki/Scratchpad

little eagle Dec 19, 2017, 1:30 AM

#

Almost as if the only uses for parseSimpleArray are not the intended ones.

austere granite Dec 19, 2017, 1:31 AM

#

you wanna make an extension with only short returns (And you know they are always going to be short no matter what?!): We have a command just 4u

final vessel Dec 19, 2017, 1:32 AM

#

Okay, so it looks like (judging by my test cases linked in my Scratchpad), parseSimpleArray is faster with booleans and nested arrays but slower with everything else, namely: strings, floats, ints.

tough abyss Dec 19, 2017, 1:32 AM

#

Engine commands are prob checking variables types in different orders

#

But its interesting to know, if you really wanna optimize

final vessel Dec 19, 2017, 1:33 AM

#

Actually, I do 😄

#

So now I will have to know what I am going to return and then depending on that I'll have to call either the first or the second function? That's ridiculous 😦

still forum Dec 19, 2017, 1:48 AM

#

booleans are slower because they are actually command calls in "call compile" but just parsed in parseSimpleArray

final vessel Dec 19, 2017, 1:49 AM

#

Okay, I did a last check on 100 pairs of int values ([1,2],[1,2],[1,2],...).
0.06ms vs 0.03ms. Call compile wins again.

still forum Dec 19, 2017, 1:50 AM

#

I don't know what else is a command call...

final vessel Dec 19, 2017, 1:50 AM

#

So, basically, if you want to pass in lots of bools or LOTS of nested arrays, you should use parseSimpleArray. But as soon as you put anything in those arrays, stay with call compile, trolololo... 😄

still forum Dec 19, 2017, 1:50 AM

#

arrays are actually built at runtime.
[1,2,3,4,5]
is
push 1
push 2
push 3
push 4
push 5
build array of five elements from stack and push the array to stack

#

Would ofc be aaaaawesome if it could build the whole array at compiletime.. but....

strings, floats, ints. There are no ints

uhhh

#

they have a class called

#

JsonObject

jade abyss Dec 19, 2017, 2:34 AM

#

So it's another mix of several languages

south rivet Dec 19, 2017, 2:34 AM

#

It seems so, wooohooooo

tame portal Dec 19, 2017, 2:34 AM

#

class DayZGame extends CGame

austere granite Dec 19, 2017, 2:34 AM

#

that can only turn out great

tame portal Dec 19, 2017, 2:34 AM

#

better than plain C++ imo

#

cant be bothered to learn that

#

i would be making memory leaks left and right

still forum Dec 19, 2017, 2:35 AM

#

If you do c++ right you never have memory leaks

tame portal Dec 19, 2017, 2:36 AM

#

yes

#

but i would do it wrong

#

every single time

#

make pointers of pointers of pointers of pointers of pointers

still forum Dec 19, 2017, 2:36 AM

#

Just never use new/delete that's it.

jade abyss Dec 19, 2017, 2:36 AM

#

usage:

Param paramA = new Param1<int>(55);
Param paramB = new Param1<string>("Hello");```
Wut?

still forum Dec 19, 2017, 2:36 AM

#

And ofcause no C like malloc

tame portal Dec 19, 2017, 2:36 AM

#

mallocing of more memory intensifies

jade abyss Dec 19, 2017, 2:36 AM

#

Param param = new Param2<float, string>(3.14, "Pi");
hmm

tame portal Dec 19, 2017, 2:37 AM

#

yeah

jade abyss Dec 19, 2017, 2:37 AM

#

this is actualy... okay

tame portal Dec 19, 2017, 2:37 AM

#

looks like a classic high level language class to me to be honest

#

this is how java and c# and others do it

#

PluginDeveloper.c

#

    void OnInit()
    {
        super.OnInit();
        
        m_SqfDebugWatchers = new array<SqfDebugWatcher>;
        m_GodModeEnabled = false;
        
        DeveloperFreeCamera.OnInit();
        
        for ( int i = 1; i <= MIN_SQF_DEBUG_WATCHERS_COUNT; i++ )
        {
            m_SqfDebugWatchers.Insert( new SqfDebugWatcher(i, "") );
        }
    }

#

the only thing odd here is

#

new array<SqfDebugWatcher>;

south rivet Dec 19, 2017, 2:38 AM

#

sqf is mentioned

tame portal Dec 19, 2017, 2:38 AM

#

in my world it would need () aswell

#

@south rivet it has a SQF interpreter still afaik

#

so it can run both

jade abyss Dec 19, 2017, 2:38 AM

#

[Client] This function is called by engine to get list of scripted actions

Parameters
ctx    action menu context
player    which is asking for actions
usage :

void OnGetActions(ActionMenuContext ctx, Man player)
{
    super.OnGetActions(ctx, player);
    if (IsActionCopyAvalible())
    {
    autoptr Param4<string, int, EntityAI, EntityAI> p = new Param4<string, int, EntityAI, EntityAI>("ahoj", 5, this, player);
    ctx.AddAction("Copy", ACTION_ID_COPY, p, 1000, true, true);
    }
}```
thats... ohmy

south rivet Dec 19, 2017, 2:39 AM

#

Yea, new definitions always require () in c#. And I always program in c#, so this will take getting used to

tame portal Dec 19, 2017, 2:39 AM

#

autoptr

#

lul

#

@south rivet Me too

#

Thank you for existing

#

this is literally C#/Java code with some slight differences

#

finally, the game itself is an object

#

GetGame()

south rivet Dec 19, 2017, 2:40 AM

#

I was forced by the university for the first 1.5 years, then we got some haskell and python thrown in. But c# is still the main language used. Have never touched c++ eventhough I study game technology

tame portal Dec 19, 2017, 2:41 AM

#

DeveloperTeleport.c

#

    // Set Player Position (MP support)
    static void SetPlayerPosition(PlayerBase player, vector position)
    {
        if ( GetGame().IsServer() )
        {
            player.SetPosition(position);
        }
        else
        {
            autoptr Param3<float, float, float> params = new Param3<float, float, float>(position[0], position[1], position[2]);
            player.RPCSingleParam(DEV_RPC_TELEPORT, params);
        }
    }

#

weird approach

jade abyss Dec 19, 2017, 2:41 AM

#

hm

tame portal Dec 19, 2017, 2:42 AM

#

instead of defining the need of 3 floats in the header signature of RPCSingleParam

jade abyss Dec 19, 2017, 2:43 AM

#

wait, so it's C++ and ?

still forum Dec 19, 2017, 2:44 AM

#

mostly c++

tame portal Dec 19, 2017, 2:44 AM

#

looks mostly not c++ to me lul

#

could be wrong though, havent looked around much

#

i like the UIs are defined in XMLs now

tame portal Dec 19, 2017, 2:44 AM

#

this is how you get a widget on the screen

#

for example

#

the message

#

that says

austere granite Dec 19, 2017, 2:45 AM

#

but i just got good at UIs in SQF

#

it only took me 4 years

tame portal Dec 19, 2017, 2:45 AM

"This is early access fuck off if you cant be bothered"

#

looks like this in XML

austere granite Dec 19, 2017, 2:46 AM

i guess that makes it easy to write xternal tools to create UIs with

jade abyss Dec 19, 2017, 2:46 AM

#

Yep

tame portal Dec 19, 2017, 2:46 AM

#

you can then create such widget on the screen like this

#

layoutRoot = GetGame().GetWorkspace().CreateWidgets("gui/layouts/day_z_chat_input.layout");```

jade abyss Dec 19, 2017, 2:46 AM
