And yeah. If you want to do stuff on the local player. Use the intended way to do it. aka initPlayerLocal.sqf

But why would you use the diary for that? It's super cumbersome.

Okay, why would you show the text in the diary?

Because dairy badary
errant jasper
I prefer not using initPlayerLocal.sqf to avoid initialization order conflicts. I only use init.sqf and manually "branch" from there.

@errant jasper So you don't want the probably fix for all your issues that multiple people recommend to you?

How is initPlayerLocal.sqf a "fix". It is basically waitUntil {local player} no?
peak plover
No
still forum
not really.. no
little eagle
lol
errant jasper
From the initialization order, it is clear that init.sqf is run after initPlayerLocal, so how would running stuff earlier make it work?
still forum
@errant jasper Just try the things recommended to you first and see if that fixes it. If not we can go further. Start with the easiest thing
errant jasper
I will try to what you guys suggest if I do not get it to work otherwise. But I think the reason is pretty clear. I neither run the server, nor am creating the mission, I just script for it. I unpacked the mission from the mpmissioncache from last nights session, and behold, the files were old.
So the guy making mission running the show, forgot to use the files I sent him.

peak plover
With a mod, sure
limber rune
but he said with a script
peak plover
Yes it would be a script
That cannot be a config
@unborn ibex yes
If he ment Without mods, then the answer is most likely no
cedar kindle
don’t think so? you can’t reference the weapon object ?
jade abyss
Yep, thats why
With Config.cpp, maybe. But that's, as Nigel said, only possible with mod (IF)
little eagle
I think "with a script" means "with a mission".
And the answer is no afaik.
Unless someone found something genius.
Like with the backpacks.
little eagle
Yeah, the public modes would be all over this.
meager granite
What was found with backpacks?
little eagle
Retexture with mission.
Which obviously doesn't work with weapons, but when you're not used to how Arma operates, it's strange that this one can be retextured like that, and a weapon or vest and uniform can't.
meager granite
Was ability to retexture backpacks a secret? Its separate entity after all.
little eagle
What do you mean a secret? I can't remember BI ever talking about it, but I never paid much attention to mission only.
And uniforms and vests also have their container dummies, so they're also separate entities in a way.
meager granite
If only we could get proxy models as entities into variables and set their textures.
little eagle
Proxy compatible setObjectTexture supporting weapons.
But even that is shit compared to what could be. Referencing all items by ids or as entities.
jade abyss
That was a planned thing, iirc :/
little eagle
It kinda exists for mag ids.
tough abyss
does removeWeaponTurret also remove all magazines that turret had?
and thats a negative :/
little eagle
Question is if it removed the currently loaded one.
tough abyss
it should do that. but i mean if the turret is no longer a part of the vehicle all valid magazines for that should also be removed since what are you going to shoot them with
but maybe cause interchangable turrets having same mags
little eagle
You don't remove the turret. You remove a weapon from the turret.
tough abyss
WeaponTurerr that’s what I meant

Yeah. "Turerr" tho 💦

Hello everyone, quick question, if i want a player to execute just ONCE an action per reboot, how should i proceed
austere granite
@compact maple reboot as in respawn, connection to server or game restart? 😄
connection to server, keep a var in missionNamespace
compact maple
server restart
austere granite
ah server restart, hm probably keep a variable onthe server then 😄
compact maple
I mean,
X player do an action.
X player disconnect.
X player come back immediatly.
X player try to do the same action but he cant cause i dont want it
compact maple
After the reboot, he can do it once
then he has to wait the reboot of the server to do ti again
lone glade
use server time
peak plover
impossible 🤥
compact maple
or maybe i can put a persistent variable on a player ? even if hes disconnect ?
lone glade
no

Save player uid on an array onthe server

[8:25 PM] 3rK: Hello everyone, quick question, if i want a player to execute just ONCE an action per reboot, how should i proceed
He wanted it once per server restart, no need for profilenamespace, normal variable serverside will do the trick
No need for extensions either, just an array with playeruid of who did the action
peak plover
Yyeah, we found his fix. But now I want to know how to get a date without extensions?
still forum
Why do you think people made extensions just for the purpose of getting the date?
Because it's already possible without Extension? I don't think so
peak plover
So only way to do it once per 12 hours would be db or extensions
still forum
But database without extension also doesn't work
still forum
You also don't have to make a date extension from scratch
tough abyss
? what extension are using for db?
peak plover
not
still forum
KK has realtime Extension and extDB3 also has it
peak plover
just question too many lol
little eagle
Since we already have so many solutions to getting the real date into sqf, you obviously have to create your own one.

WaitUntil loop or perframe EH

peak plover
That you hook all your code into

Once per frame. Just like any other suspended/scheduled scheduled suspendable script that is suspended/schedulended

waitUntil{

_x params ["_code",["_unscheduled",false]];
if (_unscheduled) then {
isNil {call _code};
} else {

!isNil "nig_main_loop_cancel"

But be careful not to mix that up with a scheduled unscheduled unsuspendable suspended script with a sleep
But with a uiSleep it would be fine

Quick question guys whats better for performance?
For Police lights everytime they are turned on they are remoteExeced to each player and ran in a loop
Which is better?
4 while loops handling individual cars (spawned) or
1 while loop that does all the lights in one big loop
still forum
both make no difference
if your perf is shit you have 3ms per frame regardless
switching between multiple spawned scripts has a tiny overhead. About equivalent to having an array with one element in the script
so... 1 while loop is theoretically better. but doesn't really matter
So... Whatever is easier for you
lone glade
not using loops is better than optimizing one
still forum
And if you want the perfect answer. Use a time based animation. Which isn't a script at all
grizzled spindle
For lights?

yes?
lone glade
doesn't BI have one for the van ?

doing what? Making a time based animation in the model.cfg of you custom police lights model?
grizzled spindle

still forum
Well then use a script.
As you already do
I didn't say you'd have to use a animation. Just said that would be the perfect way
grizzled spindle
Yeah I understand that I was just seeing if there was a better way. Just problem is at the moment is when your turn the lights on every single person on the map 'knows' about them
Thanks for the help
still forum
You can detect if the vehicle is in range.. But that detection requires more processing than just turning on the lights would

Have an array of all police vehicles and check once every minute which of them are close enough to simulate their lights

you have a static (cannot move without driver) object attached to another static (also cannot move without driver, theoretically) object. So it sends very few updates which is probably why it's laggy

Hey guys, what would flagOwner be used for? Is it just for setting the locality of the flag to one object?
lone glade
unused in arma3 afaik
oh wait, no, some RHS vehicles do use that
and yes, it's for the locality of the object
lone glade
:/
i'd say test it, i'm not even sure RHS uses the flag commands anymore, it could also be an attachTo

Im more talking about setting flag side on a flag pole
nocturne iron
I don't think it works on poles
lone glade
considering flags are sideEmpty I doubt it

flagOwner, setFlagSide all works fine
On flagpole setFlagSide will add action also "to take that flag"
what would flagOwner be used for?
It will return carrier of the flag
That is like build in CTF game mode system

It's funny because the last 10 years browser engines have been trying to implement and adopt things that are natural for desktop apps. Such as being able to save files on the user's computer. Drawing graphics, canvas and now webgl, and so on.

The internet is changing as we know it, these things will have its purpose one day.
All I can say about OS.JS is, must have been a fucking hazzle to write.

Have you guys ever communicated arma with outside world like webpage?
Is it too bad for performance to run a loop that constantly checks for a variable change in DB?
lone glade
the community i'm part of has an "armory" system
you buy gear on the website and retrieve it via a GUI in game
peak plover
So for ex. run a function from a web page?
lone glade
ah, nothing like that
peak plover
Just read and write from DB?
dusk sage
It depends on how you implement it @peak plover
nocturne iron
Db performance etc
peak plover
If I want to call in a mortar strike by inserting coords on a page, is it stupid to have a
per frame loop that constantly checks for DB to see if (execute function) has something in it?
dusk sage
Naturally, it will affect performance, you'll just have to minimise that
peak plover
Okay
dusk sage
Do you really need to check every frame
lone glade
event
lone glade
I didn't meant on the DB side
also, does it have to be on a webpage?
why can't it be an in game GUI?
peak plover
Just wondering about shit is all
Web page works on phone
Open phone
Call in airstrike
or tablet
It's like bf4 tablet commander
dusk sage
Just think carefully about how often you need to check for the coordinates, you don't need to check every 20ms. Remember that callExt is completely blocking, regardless of its initial context
lone glade
do as little callExt as possible
peak plover
hmm
dusk sage
Using something like extDB3, the communication time is small, so quick and infrequent calls will be almost negligible
peak plover
But are there alternatives to constant db variable check?
slender halo
socket
little eagle
Can't you write the extension in a way where it retrieves the whatever and doesn't block and just returns not ready until it's done with whatever it searches on the web?
dusk sage
Depends if you want speed or not
You could even fetch the contents of a webpage for it, but it'll be much slower
slender halo
dusk sage
@little eagle Yes, exDB3 has an async API. But you still need to check whether the result is ready with more calls
little eagle
Yeah, but that is negligible.
peak plover
I could probably do it without DB
slender halo
this nodejs extension would let you push event from web server to arma
dusk sage
And small results from any of the supported DBs are usually ready instantly

InitPost, not PostInit for events for objects.

How could you commy
To use select in something as important as an event handler?
little eagle
I'm 99% sure this will not work with advanced fatigue from ACE, because adv fatigue overwrites the anim speed coef all the time.
Because there are like 100 soldiers in a mission, and 100 select are nothing to worry about perf wise.
peak plover
if ((getAnimSpeedCoef _unit) != 1) then {
_unit setAnimSpeedCoef 1;
};
That ace 😐
lone glade
might be because of my azerty keyboard but it isn't 😦
little eagle
Just make a macro for param [0]
peak plover
should be
private _fat = _unit getVariable ["ace_customFat",(missionNamespace getVariable ["ace_customFat",1])];
if ((getAnimSpeedCoef _unit) != 1) then {
_unit setAnimSpeedCoef _fat;
};
So many small parts like this should have variables in ace

when i gather a helipad with nearestObjects i'll get this response.
127b65600# 1815999: helipadsquare_f.p3d REMOTE
my question now is: i expected an location like this [18444.2,18000.5,0.0000554]
so is "127b65600# 1815999" anything that i can work with?
lone glade
that's not a position, it's a location*
little eagle
getPosATL ?
peak plover
@lone glade CBA settings. I don't really see how they would be "HARD" to document
little eagle
severe solstice
but nearestObjects should give me an location isnt it?
little eagle
It's called "position". LOCATION is something else.
lone glade
locations aren't positions
little eagle
nearestObjects gives you an ARRAY of OBJECTs
And getPosATL gives you an PosATL ARRAY of an OBJECT.
Like the example you posted.
e.g. [18444.2,18000.5,0.0000554]
severe solstice
ye
_objPosition = getPosATL nearestObjects [player, ["HeliH"], 200];
would this work then?
little eagle
No.
You need OBJECT, not ARRAY
nearestObjects reports an ARRAY full of OBJECT
nearestObject reports one OBJECT
(no s)
severe solstice
_nObject = nearestObjects [player, ["HeliH"], 200];
_nObject = _nObject select 0;
_objPosition = getPosATL _nObject ;
Sure.
severe solstice
like that?
little eagle
Though nearestObjects could report an empty array.
And then _nObject is undefined.
In case there is no helipad there.
severe solstice
_nObject = nearestObjects [player, ["HeliH"], 200];
if(_nObject != undefined) then {
_nObject = _nObject select 0;
_objPosition = getPosATL _nObject ;
}
undefined doesn't exist
severe solstice
how do i check on undefined then
lone glade
!= or isEqualTo depending on the type and the need for case sensitivity
little eagle
private _nObject = nearestObjects [player, ["HeliH"], 200] param [0, objNull];
private _objPosition = getPosATL _nObject;
Just avoid undefining the variable in the first place by using...
PARAM

Lol. Of course I do if (not (_effectIsActive isEqualTo _effectShouldBeActive)). But I still think it is lame I have to do that.

if (_effectIsActive && _effectShouldBeActive || {!_effectShouldBeActive && !_effectShouldBeActive}) then {
I think i'm starting to develop dementia

I think you are on to something. I mean we can't confirm that anyone who got dementia, did not look at SQF code. Conclusion sqf code causes dementia.

Hold onto your butts:
if ([_effectIsActive, !_effectIsActive] select _effectShouldBeActive) then {
now wrap than in a ttc
errant jasper
That will work. And that is the best thing I can say about it
little eagle
if (count (str _effectIsActive + str _effectShouldBeActive) % 2 == 0) then {

right but now that armas pretty much done a lot shouldnt they just go ahead and export their API to C++?
lone glade
anyone on dev branch can confirm the game takes significantly longer to "load" ?
queen cargo
you want to literally compile against arma your mission/addon each time you create one?
you cannot dynamically create missions with static compiled languages
unless you compile
lone glade
like, the game doesn't start loading instantly after clicking play
no mods, it just takes much longer than stable right now
little eagle
Maybe they have some unbinned configs on dev.
tough abyss
@queen cargo hmm? sorry i dont quiet understand what you mean by that? Compile it once and it should work fine?
queen cargo
or, take what is written in the first entry on google for that question that i linked above @tough abyss
In games, game logic and configuration are typically contained in script files. These scripts can easily be updated by non-programmers (like the designer) to tweak the gameplay. Script languages are easy and act in a forgiving manner for that purpose.```huh, I wonder what happens if I unmount my P drive
tough abyss
true
queen cargo
designers are not programmers
tough abyss
i suppose
queen cargo
and that is the full story
lone glade
The bike shed issue is real
little eagle
Yeah, having a script and a code language is useful, though it's sad that the code part is not accessible as well for modders.
queen cargo
^+1
little eagle
Aside from dll.
queen cargo
one thing is true though: in theory it could be possible to create a scripting language that can be later ported into actual c++ code
