I have a Script that calls a set of scops (that I set) form an other script, when the mission is run with no mods, it works perfectly. But when I adapt the mission with RHS mod the the weapons show up but not the Scops, as if it couldn't detect a compatible scope for a modded weapon.

So I have a Weapon Menu with an external cam that displays the weapon/Scope that the player is choosing. This all works I've been playing with it for years with no mods on. But now i'd like to a RHS in my mission.

What happen is :
1 : I select a weapon > Thats OK I see the RHS weapon.
2 : I select a Scope > That doesn't work, I doesn't display the scope I have chosen.
3 : But if I click OK so confirm the Scope (that I can't see) and the Weapon, then TADAAAM, the scope miraculously shows up on my weapon out of the WeaponMenu.

#

So i'm thinking maybe i'm not selecting the right CfgWeapon file ?

In any case you definitely want to fix the other syntax errors that are reported. If you didn't make the mod yourself you should also consider that a developer who released code with syntax errors may have other bugs and problems with their mod.

kindred bane Dec 21, 2017, 8:04 PM

#

aight, i fixed them, ill see if it works, if not ill report back and also yeah im not even sure when i added that addon so i guess ill remove it if im not using it in the mission

#

@river meteor ok, so sadly did not fix the problem. However i tried something else, and took the rpt file before and after i joined, after i join i get this:

Where did you get these mods that you are using from? Were there server setup instructions?

that the new arma update acctually made this crash

@kindred bane Not sure, but I get that when I start my server and it hasn't caused problems for me. It seems like you have a broken mod installed. I would just go to the author of the mod for help themselves. You have never gotten this mod working correct?

For my next ai script I will have an _extra parameter when spawning in the units and this will be attached to the unit for future.

['pool', ['B_Soldier_SL_F']                    // array, classanmes
['area',[a,b,angle,isrectangle]                // array, based on cba_fnc_randPosArea
['perim',true]                                // bool, spawn on perimieter of area
['areaMarker','markerName']                    // area marker name as string
['areaTrigger', triggerName]                // variable name of the trigger
['house', bool]                                // patrol houses instead

So I can put one of these in there

#

THe order won't matter

because I will match the first element to a search later

So then I can save this for safe keeping later

that works, It makes it so that when ever the curator opens his interface, the edditng area is placed 100 meeters around him

You have a way to add all placed groups & units to high command? https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/hcSetGroup

class Extended_Init_EventHandlers {
 class Man {
  init = "_this call {(myCurator select 0) removeCuratorEditableObjects [[this],true]}";
 };
};

#

Thats the closest ive ever gotten to it working, And all it does is Make infantry un editable. Anyway it hates the "mycurator select 0" but everytime i change it, it doesnt give any errors but it doesnt work

#

Anyway if i wanted it to make all units, then i just have to change the class man to something that incorperates everything

#

But im not going to work on that till i get rid of the generic error

On the end of the longest line

let me try out of zues

You gotta do the check for west as well but that should do it

        { 
            if !((side _object) isEqualTo west) then {

            }; 
        } forEach allCurators; 
    },true,[],true] call CBA_fnc_addClassEventHandler;

        _x addEventHandler [

                } forEach (allUnits + vehicles);
            }
        ];

Both combined

This way when you load zeus, it removes everything that's there nad if something gets added while you are in zeus it will get removed too

hey so whats the difference between exec and execvm?

peak plover Dec 22, 2017, 4:53 AM

Both are terrible 😉

Both are completly different things

then whats your alternative?

tough abyss Dec 22, 2017, 4:57 AM

#

i know nothing of functions

#

looks scary

#

wait hold up i have an example

peak plover Dec 22, 2017, 5:05 AM

#

functions are simpler and more readable

tough abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:05 AM

#

onTeamSwitch {[_from, _to] execVM "myTeamSwitchScript.sqf";};

#

So how would i go about using your superior method ^_^

peak plover Dec 22, 2017, 5:06 AM

#

onTeamSwitch {[_from, _to] call nig_fnc_teamSwitchEH;};

tough abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:09 AM

#

why do you add EH to the end?

peak plover Dec 22, 2017, 5:09 AM

#

just naming it like that so I know that function is used in the Event Handler

#

lazy

#

is all

tough abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:10 AM

#

so umm when i make my function, i can just add _from and _to anywhere in it?

#

and it will automatically know

peak plover Dec 22, 2017, 5:11 AM

#

no

#

The function will have a special variable _this

#

so

tough abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:12 AM

#

fnc_teamSwitch = {
 unassignCurator myCurator; 
 _to assignCurator myCurator;
}

peak plover Dec 22, 2017, 5:14 AM

#

A

[1,2,3] call nig_fnc_gucci;

in func

params ["_first","_second","_third"];

B

'Gucci' call nig_fnc_displayGangName;

_name = _this;
hint format ["%1 Gang",_name];

would output Gucci Gang

tough abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:14 AM

lol

jade abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:14 AM

#

Hint: If you write functions: Always add a Tag before (mostly 3 letters, nut not fixed to that)
e.g.:
bli_fnc_MyFunction

#

Same should be done with Vars (adding a tag)

tough abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:18 AM

im still alittle confused, [_from, _to] call fnc_teamSwitch; So ? ```
fnc_teamSwitch = {
params ["_from","_to"];
unassignCurator myCurator;
_to assignCurator myCurator;
}

jade abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:19 AM

#

params would be correct

#

But: Why is _from in there, when you don't use it?

tough abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:19 AM

#

addMissionEventHandler["TeamSwitch", {
onTeamSwitch {[_from, _to] call fnc_teamSwitch; };
}];```

#

thats why

jade abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:20 AM

#

If you don't need it, just don't send it

peak plover Dec 22, 2017, 5:20 AM

}

subtle ore Dec 22, 2017, 5:21 AM

#

params["_cool","","_notCool"];

peak plover Dec 22, 2017, 5:21 AM

#

just param if only 1 parameter

jade abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:21 AM

#

params["_cool","","_notCool"];

params[0,1,2];

peak plover Dec 22, 2017, 5:22 AM

Does that not error?

jade abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:22 AM

#

and 1 is not assigned

subtle ore Dec 22, 2017, 5:22 AM

#

Ah

jade abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:22 AM

just showed index positions

subtle ore Dec 22, 2017, 5:22 AM

#

yes I'm fucking retarded

jade abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:22 AM

Yep

tough abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:22 AM

#

fnc_teamSwitch = {

 unassignCurator myCurator; 
 _to assignCurator myCurator;
}```

#

so would that work?

peak plover Dec 22, 2017, 5:23 AM

#

I dont know what the commands do and what you wanna do but the param part adds up

jade abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:23 AM

#

When using _this, you don't need _this param

#

_to = param [0]; iirc

peak plover Dec 22, 2017, 5:23 AM

#

even with param ? I thought tht was params only

jade abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:23 AM

#

lemme check

peak plover Dec 22, 2017, 5:23 AM

#

🤔

jade abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:24 AM

#

Yep

peak plover Dec 22, 2017, 5:24 AM

#

When used without argument, as shown in main syntax, internal variable _this, which is usually available inside functions and event handlers, is used as argument

jade abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:24 AM

#


_HandleBlocked = false;
    _Container = param[0,ObjNull,[ObjNull]];```

peak plover Dec 22, 2017, 5:24 AM

#

damn cool

jade abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:24 AM

#

Only when you select a different _Array than _this

peak plover Dec 22, 2017, 5:24 AM

#

Can we vote the cutest command for 2017 ?

jade abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:24 AM

#

e.g.
_abc = [1,2,3]
_a = _abc param [0];

#

otherwise it's _this

tough abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:25 AM

#

addMissionEventHandler["TeamSwitch", {
onTeamSwitch {[_from, _to] call fnc_teamSwitch; };
}];

#

fnc_teamSwitch = {
 _to = param [1];
 unassignCurator myCurator; 
 _to assignCurator myCurator;
};

#

that didnt work

jade abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:26 AM

#

the Param part should work

tough abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:26 AM

#

idk i need to plug a hint in there, maybe its my Event not working

peak plover Dec 22, 2017, 5:26 AM

#

yeah

jade abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:26 AM

#

btw... does
addMissionEventHandler["TeamSwitch",
give's you _from and _to as LocalVars? 🤔

tough abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:27 AM

#

hmm

jade abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:27 AM

#

Anyway, just to be sure:

addMissionEventHandler["TeamSwitch", {
onTeamSwitch {[param[1]] call fnc_teamSwitch; };
}];```

#

and
fnc_teamSwitch = {
_to = param [0];

#

OR:

#

addMissionEventHandler["TeamSwitch", {
onTeamSwitch {(param[1]) call fnc_teamSwitch; };
}];```
```sqf
fnc_teamSwitch = {
 unassignCurator myCurator; 
_this assignCurator myCurator;
};```

#

Should also work

#

Also: Did you start your game with "Show script Errors"? If not: Do it. If it pops up: the # indicates the place of the error

tough abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:30 AM

#

yeah, it shows script errors. But no like.... SO when i go to map, and i click on team, and click switch unit

#

nothing seems to be firing

#

i doubt its the code, maybe the eventhandler is for Multiplayer?

peak plover Dec 22, 2017, 5:31 AM

#

What's your goal btw

#

to have different zones?

tough abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:32 AM

#

When you switch units, the zues module follows you.

#

And yeah, kinda

peak plover Dec 22, 2017, 5:33 AM

#

Isn't it easier to have 1 zeus and just change the area every time you switch?

tough abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:33 AM

#

there is only 1 zeus

#

what do you mean change the area? it needs to follow the unit. When you switch units, you are no longer "player"

peak plover Dec 22, 2017, 5:34 AM

#

count allCurators

#

put that in your watch on debug

tough abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:35 AM

#

you know how the strategic map module works?

#

will i have it synced to missions,

peak plover Dec 22, 2017, 5:35 AM

#

nope

tough abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:35 AM

#

selectPlayer fireTeam; unassignCurator myCurator; fireTeam assignCurator myCurator;

#

that works

#

the unit is fireTeam

peak plover Dec 22, 2017, 5:35 AM

#

thats a weird name for a unit

#

Anyway

tough abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:36 AM

#

well i named them after the group.

#

You know how in the tac ops dlc, you can play as Special operatives Or Infantry

peak plover Dec 22, 2017, 5:37 AM

#

I never played it

tough abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:37 AM

#

lol well your lucky, you werent disappointed when it came out

#

i mean it added some cool features

peak plover Dec 22, 2017, 5:37 AM

So either way I win

tough abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:38 AM

Wouldn't be the same

tough abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:39 AM

#

addMissionEventHandler["TeamSwitch", {
onTeamSwitch {(param[1]) call fnc_teamSwitch; };
}];

#

So i dont understand

#

fnc_teamSwitch = {
 unassignCurator myCurator; 
_this assignCurator myCurator;
};

#

How does param [1] = _this

peak plover Dec 22, 2017, 5:42 AM

#

onTeamSwitch {(param[1]) call fnc_teamSwitch; };

#

Is just like a function

#

so in there exists _this

#

which is equal to [oldUnit,newUnit]

#

But only way to get the oldUnit and New unit is param/params

tough abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:43 AM

#

well anyway it doesnt work, But i dont know if its even calling so let me add a hint

peak plover Dec 22, 2017, 5:43 AM

#

[oldUnit,newUnit] param[1] //newUnit

#


 unassignCurator myCurator; 
_this assignCurator myCurator;

#

You are removing the same curator

#

and adding it back again

#

It won't change anything

tough abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:44 AM

#

You have to remove the curator before you can readd it to a different unit

river meteor Dec 22, 2017, 5:44 AM

What resource can I look at to find out how to make custom items?

peak plover Dec 22, 2017, 5:45 AM

unasssingCurator curator_a;

#

@river meteor I'd start by unpacking some items that people have made before

#

Maybe even bis stuff

tough abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:45 AM

#

lol good luck, their dlc stuff is locked

peak plover Dec 22, 2017, 5:46 AM

It'll probably be unlocked in a few months

tough abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:46 AM

peak plover Dec 22, 2017, 5:47 AM

#

cba

#

Probably has the solution

tough abyss Dec 22, 2017, 5:48 AM

#

where can i find all the cba event handlers?

peak plover Dec 22, 2017, 5:54 AM

#

Not sure if they have it but it's gotta be on the github

still forum Dec 22, 2017, 5:55 AM

CBA_fnc_addPlayerEventhandler. The handler is called unit

tough abyss Dec 22, 2017, 6:13 AM

#

i was just being dumb

#

addMissionEventHandler["TeamSwitch", {
    unassignCurator myCurator; 
    player assignCurator myCurator;

#

this actually follows the player around regardless of what unit he takes

#

anyone on?

tough abyss Dec 22, 2017, 6:36 AM

#

Dang

plucky willow Dec 22, 2017, 6:37 AM

#

@tough abyss any ideas on how i could accomplish that?

#

i suppose a workaround would be to simply set the players velocity to zero

#

but i am not aware how to do that

#

vehicles use velocity but I cant find what players get

tough abyss Dec 22, 2017, 6:43 AM

#

hold up i think i know how

#

player addeventhandler ["fired", { 
  _bullet = nearestObject [_this select 0,_this select 4]; 
  _bulletpos = getPosASL _bullet; 
  _o = "M_AT" createVehicle _bulletpos; 
  _weapdir = player weaponDirection currentWeapon player; 
  _dist = 1; 
  _o setPosASL [ 
    (_bulletpos select 0) + (_weapdir select 0)*_dist, 
    (_bulletpos select 1) + (_weapdir select 1)*_dist, 
    (_bulletpos select 2) + (_weapdir select 2)*_dist 
  ]; 
  _up = vectorUp _bullet; 
  _o setVectorDirAndUp[_weapdir,_up]; 
  _o setVelocity velocity _bullet; 
}];

#

I played with this soo much

#

THis turns your bullets into missles

#

Anyway look _o set velocity velocity _bullet;

#

sometimes id change it into a plane, and then move the player into cargo...... Lol

#

IF ur wondering what happened... umm you still crash, because the plane is going so fast that you cant leave the arc

plucky willow Dec 22, 2017, 6:48 AM

#

setVelocity only works on vehicles, not players

peak plover Dec 22, 2017, 6:48 AM

#

players are vehicles

tough abyss Dec 22, 2017, 6:48 AM

move the player into a vehicle? then set that vehicle velocity and delete it?

plucky willow Dec 22, 2017, 6:48 AM

#

my setvelocity isnt working on players for some reason

tough abyss Dec 22, 2017, 6:49 AM

plucky willow Dec 22, 2017, 6:51 AM

        moveOut _x;
        _x setVelocity [0,0,0];
        _x setPos getmarkerpos(_myMarker);
    };
}foreach allUnits;

#

this is roughly what i have

tough abyss Dec 22, 2017, 6:53 AM

#

but it works on non players?

plucky willow Dec 22, 2017, 6:56 AM

#

yeah i use setvelocity all the time

#

works fine

tough abyss Dec 22, 2017, 6:58 AM

#

can i ask what the context is?

plucky willow Dec 22, 2017, 7:02 AM

#

so i want the player to be driving around in vehicles and after a set amount of time I want to boot the players out of their vehicles and teleport them to a different location

#

I'm trying a workaround where I stop their vehicles but I would prefer the vehicles to continue moving

peak plover Dec 22, 2017, 7:13 AM

#

u dont need moveout

#

setpos already gets oyu out of vehicle

plucky willow Dec 22, 2017, 7:14 AM

#

will setpos reset velocity?

peak plover Dec 22, 2017, 7:14 AM

#

It should

#

I can be flying in the air with a plane and setpos to somewhere

#

take no damage

#

so yeah

plucky willow Dec 22, 2017, 7:17 AM

#

tested it, seems to work, thank you

{_x addEventHandler [

that right there, creates an hc group, but when i set a waypoint, The guys dont move, its like their empty HC groups

#

eh i dont want to do that anymore

lol nobody work on that

#

hc is worthless

plucky willow Dec 22, 2017, 7:33 AM

i have a local script that checks if a player is in a given area, but the area is very small and the player will be moving very fast. is there a way to guarantee that the inArea script will go off without increasing the amount of checks per second?

specifically, i do not want to check every few seconds at all

#

id rather it work like a trigger or something

    [_Raider_1, 2] waypointAttachVehicle vehicle ab1;

the script is called from a trigger via execVM

Its no longer spawning after the last few arma 3 updates and it was working like 6 months ago on my dedicated server... any idea whats wrong?

nocturne iron Dec 22, 2017, 8:03 AM

try calling it as a function first

little eagle Dec 22, 2017, 8:06 AM

#

wp_POS is undefined.

#

ab1 is undefined.

#

Probably deleted those two in the mission and the script is bad and depends on global variables.

dry egret Dec 22, 2017, 8:26 AM

ab1 is a boat in the mission and wp_POS is an invisable helipad

I'm starting to learn scripting. I've got some questions. The first one is - What does compile do actually? It seems to me that it just encloses an expression with a pair of curly braces, which is quite different from what the compiler does in C++.

tulip cloud Dec 22, 2017, 9:17 AM

Anyone know why this doesn't work?


while {true || 900 < 600}

The script runs but doesn't stop. Shouldn't the second operator throw false and cause the while to exit?

It would work if I used &&

still forum Dec 22, 2017, 10:32 AM

#

@stable wave compile compiles your script. You cannot see binary.. so when you stringify it it displays you the actual script that was compiled. So what you see is curly braces with code inbetween.

little eagle Dec 22, 2017, 10:35 AM

#

Add some debugging log to it and check the intermediate values of the variables. systemChat str [_var] and/or diag_log [_var].

jade abyss Dec 22, 2017, 10:36 AM

Why [_var]? [] not needed

@still forum Thanks for the explanation. But why would one compile an expression instead of using plain code?

still forum Dec 22, 2017, 10:55 AM

#

Every code is compiled

#

If you load a file it's a string that has to be compiled

#

If you copy-paste a script into the debug console it is a string that has to be compiled before you can execute it

#

so "using plain code" is just not possible. Arma doesn't provide the ability to load pre-compiled binary code

#

I could do that though.

#

I guess that would be a neat side project 😄

_descExtPath = str missionConfigFile;
currMissionDir = compileFinal str (_descExtPath select [0, count _descExtPath - 15]);

Maybe even build a very basic optimizer.
That turns a static array from
push element, push element, push element, build array. To just a constant value

Take this code for example. Why does it compile the string holding the current missiong directory?

I don't know why the author decided to do that

#

He probably wanted to prevent the variable from being overwritten

#

you can't overwrite variables marked as Final

#

and the only way to create final variables in plain SQF is using compileFinal

#

Actually only the CODE variable type even has the possibility to be final in engine

Ah. That makes sense

all, how can i get the relative position _posRel of an object A to another object B, so that I can move object C in the same position as object A by using _posC = ATLToASL(B modelToWorldVisual _posRel);?
