inner swallow Jan 11, 2018, 8:16 PM

#

Yeah couldn't see it either

little eagle Jan 11, 2018, 8:21 PM

#

@peak plover You can use call Extended_DisplayLoad_EventHandlers in description.ext too, but obviously it will do anything without CBA.

subtle ore Jan 11, 2018, 8:25 PM

#

commy2 has been typing for several minutes

little eagle Jan 11, 2018, 8:25 PM

#

CBA_fnc_addDisplayHandler is for adding ui eventhandlers to the main display... The benefit is, that those are removed if you restart the mission, and reapplied when you load a savegame, and also addded correctly even if the display doesn't exist yet. The point is to make ui events very easily addable at pre/postInit, and therefore compatible with SP and local host savegames, weird restarts, #missions etc.

#

Yeah, sorry. I'm not feeling well, and that slows my thoughts and typing.

I'm ill and awake for 29 hours now.

#

I feel fine tho

little eagle Jan 11, 2018, 8:27 PM

#

@lone glade What do you mean I don't do the functions header documentation correctly? I skipped a few inlined scripts tbh, but those aren't really functions anyway I think.

subtle ore Jan 11, 2018, 8:27 PM

#

Sorry to hear that commy, get well!
Quick question: would that be possible to apply this cba display handler add similarly in a vanilla environment?

lone glade Jan 11, 2018, 8:28 PM

#

it was a troll commy

#

because you do headers CBA style 😄

little eagle Jan 11, 2018, 8:29 PM

#

Well, it would require a constant loop that has serialization not disabled (seen a few which do that, not savegame compatible) and you have to do the "data managing" yourself.

subtle ore Jan 11, 2018, 8:29 PM

#

Hmmm, seems feasible

little eagle Jan 11, 2018, 8:29 PM

#

With addon like CBA, it doesn't need a constant loop, because you can append the config with load events and manage stuff from there.

#

It used to be a trigger that checked every 0.5s before I rewrote it to use config events and therefore have 0 impact. 🍌

subtle ore Jan 11, 2018, 8:30 PM

#

So, CBA = performance effective,
Vanilla = Costly but possible?

rancid ruin Jan 11, 2018, 8:31 PM

#

anyone know how map brush marker alpha works? 100% alpha would, you'd think, cover anything below it. but you need at least 6 by my experiments.

#

any way to make a 100% alpha marker actually opaque?

little eagle Jan 11, 2018, 8:31 PM

#

I think it's fine for missions (therefore vanilla), but if you start making loops for every addon you have lots of duplicate work chipping away from the already scarce scheduler time.

#

And imo it's unacceptable if an addon has like 3 loops checking the same thing all the time. That's just sloppy.

#

@lone glade I completely missed your reply... I always thought CBA and ACE have basically the same function headers... All that matters is, that it looks reasonable after tabler is done with it.

lone glade Jan 11, 2018, 8:47 PM

#

You betrayed ace commy, from now on all your headers should be reverted to // By commy2 🚎

little eagle Jan 11, 2018, 8:47 PM

#

Small "by", but I agree.

#

Is "small" acceptable for "lower case" in English?

rancid ruin Jan 11, 2018, 9:01 PM

#

uhm, what?

tough abyss Jan 12, 2018, 1:04 AM

#

Really can't think of valid reason for this, except for some hack script trying to detect random generated variables

drowsy axle Jan 12, 2018, 1:04 AM

#

"detect random generated variables" 😛 SPOT ON

#

it's more geared towards mission maker markers.

tough abyss Jan 12, 2018, 1:05 AM

#

Store the names in an array then

drowsy axle Jan 12, 2018, 1:06 AM

#

How would I make it storage all aff_* variables to infinite number?

tough abyss Jan 12, 2018, 1:07 AM

#

by adding the variable names when you create them and you can remove them when the marker is deleted etc

drowsy axle Jan 12, 2018, 1:08 AM

#

Well. I wont be creating them... think of the check as like a parent class to all aff_ markers.

lone glade Jan 12, 2018, 1:08 AM

you mean any var that contains aff ?

drowsy axle Jan 12, 2018, 1:08 AM

drowsy axle Jan 12, 2018, 1:14 AM

#

in is only for an array?

lone glade Jan 12, 2018, 1:14 AM

#

yes

drowsy axle Jan 12, 2018, 1:14 AM

#

find is for both array and string

#

and a variable is a string?

lone glade Jan 12, 2018, 1:15 AM

#

nope.

drowsy axle Jan 12, 2018, 1:15 AM

#

or atleast entered as a string

#

anyway

#

My whole check is to make it so that any marker that has a sqf aff_car_mrap_* getPos _marker then create vehicle then setPos of vehicle to _marker

@drowsy axle or just positions?

they're vars

which reference markers in this case

^

I know why suicide 😄

apply returns the array, it doesn't modify the existing ref

the find is finding all variables within the mission (all markers with that name) it not a "static" array.

you need toLower _x find there too

oh the brackets

lol

lone glade Jan 12, 2018, 2:01 AM

#

yes that's what I meant ^

drowsy axle Jan 12, 2018, 2:01 AM

instead of: sqf toLower _x find "aff_car_mrap" || toLower _x find "aff_car_mrap" || toLower _x find "aff_car_mrap" || toLower _x find "aff_car_mrap" || toLower _x find "aff_car_mrap" || toLower _x find "aff_car_mrap" || toLower _x find "aff_car_mrap" ||

lone glade Jan 12, 2018, 2:01 AM

yes, hopefully with highlighting 😄

drowsy axle Jan 12, 2018, 2:02 AM

but then it would be a string not code... hm

lone glade Jan 12, 2018, 2:04 AM

he want markers that contain those strings

so derpdsqfaff_car_mrapdqfdqsfds is valid

or double brackets?

#

no code block on the first one

drowsy axle Jan 12, 2018, 2:05 AM

ah okay

get ya

lone glade Jan 12, 2018, 2:06 AM

#

nested it looks like this:
BOOL || {BOOL && {BOOL}}

drowsy axle Jan 12, 2018, 2:06 AM

#

&&?

#

it's just || || || || because it's looking for all "sides"

lone glade Jan 12, 2018, 2:07 AM

#

&& is and, || is or

drowsy axle Jan 12, 2018, 2:07 AM

#

I knew that 😛

lone glade Jan 12, 2018, 2:08 AM

I just used && for my example :p

drowsy axle Jan 12, 2018, 2:08 AM

oh okay

😄

lone glade Jan 12, 2018, 2:08 AM

I should have a var with a shitload of lazy eval around wait one

drowsy axle Jan 12, 2018, 2:08 AM

I'm trying to get the vest items array for several filled vests in a box. "vestItems" works for the player unit, but not for the box

lone glade Jan 12, 2018, 2:10 AM

afaik you can't retrieve those in a box taro

#

double ; jack

#

remove one

drowsy axle Jan 12, 2018, 2:10 AM

do it the other way.. Can you take the vests out and back in (with code)?

#

out (find internal shit) in (still in box when player looks in)

lone glade Jan 12, 2018, 2:11 AM

you can actually taro

there

didn't knew this thing existed until now 😄

drowsy axle Jan 12, 2018, 2:12 AM

lol

lone glade Jan 12, 2018, 2:12 AM

#

you can then use cargo commands on the container @thorn saffron

#

containerCeption 😄

drowsy axle Jan 12, 2018, 2:13 AM

#

going to test this: sqf _varcheck = (allVariables missionNamespace) select { toLower _x find "fia_car_offroad" > -1 //toLower _x find "aff_car_mrap" > - 1 || //{ toLower _x find "fia_car_offroad" > -1} || //{toLower _x find "nato_car_mrap" > -1} }; { _x = missionNamespace getVariable _x; _position = getPos _x; _vehicle = "C_Offroad_f" createVehicle _position; createVehicleCrew _vehicle; } foreach _varcheck;

#

containerCeption that a command 😛

thorn saffron Jan 12, 2018, 2:16 AM

#

I does not seem to get the rifle. I guess having some dummy unit I put all of the shit from the box and go through it one-by-one to get whats inside backpacks, on weapons etc. is something that might be needed to be done.

#

nasty, crude, but it might do the job

lone glade Jan 12, 2018, 2:16 AM

#

rifles aren't containers

tough abyss Jan 12, 2018, 2:17 AM

#

@thorn saffron https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/everyContainer

everyContainer

lone glade Jan 12, 2018, 2:17 AM

#

only uniforms vests and backpacks should be returned afaik

thorn saffron Jan 12, 2018, 2:19 AM

#

say you have 10 rifles with attachments and shit in a box, how would you check whats on each one of them, disassemble them and put weapons and detached items in a box? I would use the dummy unit idea

tough abyss Jan 12, 2018, 2:22 AM

#

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/weaponsItemsCargo / magazinesAmmoCargo / getItemCargo

weaponsItemsCargo

#

The only thing you cant do script wise, is add a weapon into container with attachements, need to add the attachments seperately into the container
Unless you have AI unit do it for you (kinda hacky), or got a weapon config for every posssible combination of attachments (way to much work/hacky)

unborn ether Jan 12, 2018, 2:31 AM

#

The most thing i don't like about managing a container is that you cant actually have remove*CargoGlobal and only go through clear*CargoGlobal

#

"Stash & Pop" is the only scheme around this.

thorn saffron Jan 12, 2018, 2:34 AM

#

You know, maybe I could kinda skip all of it if I could do something like this: open the shop box inventory (as normal), save the current gear on player, let player take stuff from the box, check what changed and charge him based on that.
would save a lot of work with UI and stuff

unborn ether Jan 12, 2018, 2:35 AM

#

Still will force you to do a lot of job anyways, like what magazine with what count he did put in his backpack

lone glade Jan 12, 2018, 2:35 AM

#

... taro

#

hide him and place a dummy unit

#

then use get / setUnitloadout

unborn ether Jan 12, 2018, 2:36 AM

#

@lone glade but what about gear splicing?

thorn saffron Jan 12, 2018, 2:37 AM

#

there is still an issue of actually showing player how much stuff costs

#

For now I'm focusing on a "sell box" where you can dump all of the stuff you want to sell in one go.

#

right now its just moving stuff from box to box

I'm running into an issue where if I try to pass a 6 digit number via remoteExec it works fine, but if that same remoteExec is located inside of a ctrlAddEventHandler, it passes nil. Anyone know what's up here?

indigo snow Jan 12, 2018, 7:19 AM

Variable probably doesnt exist in uiNamespace does it?

river meteor Jan 12, 2018, 7:20 AM

#

I didn't put it there. I don't really know how Namespaces work though.

#

I suspect the problem lies in the variable I'm trying to use within the ctrlAddEventHandler is not holding the value it is supposed to be or cannot be accessed for some reason

indigo snow Jan 12, 2018, 8:06 AM

Yea, pass it using missionNamespace getVariable ["varname",defaultvalue] instead then

Because that has player markers

how

lone glade Jan 12, 2018, 2:32 PM

because they are different strings

it doesn't contain the first one

true

so it reads the whole string

#

as a whole

#

not seperate

lone glade Jan 12, 2018, 2:33 PM

no

#

find checks for a matching string

#

"dsqfdsqfdsqfds_this_worksdsfsdqfdsqf" find "this" would work

anything containing "this" in it would match, but for example, "tHis" wouldn't

If that calls a script function then you have to read that script function and check if you can inject your code somewhere in there. If not then you need a mod to edit the UI. If that is in-engine though you are out of luck

question: how the hell does publicVariable work?

I need to use it to turn off the Unsung voices but I have no idea how it works and wiki doesn't really explain it well

What part about it are you specificially confused about? Do you understand that it takes a variable and sends it to all clients?

ocean hare Jan 13, 2018, 12:56 AM

#

I understand that

#

I just don't undertsand how I set it up

#

like, where to put it and shit

#

I know I need to use pubvariable to set RUG_DSAITerminalDistance = -1;

#

I just dont understand where I would do that or the exact proper syntax

river meteor Jan 13, 2018, 1:00 AM

#

RUG_DSAITerminalDistance = -1; to set it and then publicVariable "RUG_DSAITerminalDistance"; to broadcast it

ocean hare Jan 13, 2018, 1:00 AM

#

alright, and would I put that in an init.sqf?

lone glade Jan 13, 2018, 1:00 AM

.....

#

you don't need to pubVar then

river meteor Jan 13, 2018, 1:01 AM

I'm not really sure what Unsung voices are, but does your system have multiple clients, or is this a singleplayer mission?

lone glade Jan 13, 2018, 1:01 AM

#

doesn't matter, if he want to put it in init.sqf he doesn't need pubVar

river meteor Jan 13, 2018, 1:01 AM

#

He doesn't know where to put it

bitter bough Jan 13, 2018, 1:02 AM

#

It's multiplayer
Unsung has voices it plays ambiently through zeus and such
However they EXPLICITLY required them to use pubVar.
However not where to place it.

lone glade Jan 13, 2018, 1:02 AM

#

with how terrible unsung was made I'd say the instructions to use pubVar are wrong

#

just set the var in initPlayerLocal or init and you're done

#

unless they have a PVEH for it

bitter bough Jan 13, 2018, 1:04 AM

#

they've recently added a module in their dev build that fixes the issue. However others have gotten it to work.
However the details have been fairly obscure ¯_(ツ)_/¯

ocean hare Jan 13, 2018, 1:04 AM

#

If you're just looking to disable the rug_dsai voices (Vietnamese, American and ARVN voices) in your mission because it's driving you crazy then go ahead and do this simple task!

Put this in your mission:
RUG_DSAITerminalDistance = -1;
( variable / publicVariable )

An example of how we turned them off in Arsenal:
__

if (missionName isEqualTo "Arsenal") then {
    RUG_DSAITerminalDistance = -1;
};

true
__

Hope this handy dandy trick works!
Have a good night or day!```

^the message from them exactly

#

what do they mean by "drive you crazy" ?

ocean hare Jan 13, 2018, 1:05 AM

#

I'lll explaint he voices a bit

river meteor Jan 13, 2018, 1:06 AM

#

@ocean hare Have you already tried just putting RUG_DSAITerminalDistance = -1; in init.sqf?

ocean hare Jan 13, 2018, 1:07 AM

#

so what they did was add an extra ambiant thing where it would force voice lines over any unit for the particular side, aka BLUFOR units always have these ambiant voice over them no matter what the actual voice is set to. Even when not in combat they say things like "gimmie a smoke" or some other shit.

The problem is, Unsung made no way to turn this off (at first) and when you're in Zeus you hear every AI all at the same time as if they were arround you. Meaning at a certain point you cant hear anything other than the voices endlessly.

#

@river meteor I think so? I'll try again though

lone glade Jan 13, 2018, 1:07 AM

#

oh god my sides

#

wait, what happens if you try switching voices mid mission?

#

does it spam it twice as much ?

ocean hare Jan 13, 2018, 1:08 AM

#

it's not affected by the normal voice thing

#

it's seperate audio lines played via the effects track

bitter bough Jan 13, 2018, 1:09 AM

#

Basically Faces of War does the same but you need a module to start the voices rather than turn them off

ocean hare Jan 13, 2018, 1:09 AM

#

I'm pretty sure iot's meant for cinematic videos or ambiant AI around bases

#

all i really know though is that's annoying af

Didn't you say it's a known issue with Unsung? Were those instructions recently released, or are they old and possibly outdated?

ocean hare Jan 13, 2018, 1:14 AM

#

oh no, they are new

#

they didn't think about releasing these instructions until I went on their discord and said something

#

it's been an issue since their first Arma 3 release and apparently has been brought up to them before according to their PR guy but none of them thought to tell anyone the solution publically

#

they are working on adding a module to do this for people in next release but in the mean time, I have to do this for all our missions

river meteor Jan 13, 2018, 1:16 AM

Could you ask them on their discord where to put it? The only thing I could think of is that they set that variable in their code base somewhere after init.sqf is ran

Is there a way to execute files in a scheduled environment? Let's say I execute a config where a lot of variables are set and before the next file is executed, the script waits until the config is done. I thought 'call' does that. That's how I did it:

call compile "scripts\test_config.sqf";
call test_start;

test_start is a function defined in my compiles so it should be fine.

If you save the game. and load it again the variables will be nil

so if the script suspends at htmlLoad and you save the game at exactly that time

when you load it again _ctrl will be nil and you'll get a script error

Okay, ty @lone glade I was able to fix it. It really was a scheduler error.
Now my last problem is the switch. I currently do it like that:

if !(isNull findDisplay 7211) then {
    [] spawn startSetup;    //sets up the display
} else {
    1300 cutRsc["DEFAULT", "PLAIN", 1];
};

I read on the wiki that setting the display to default will remove it (which works) but when I trigger this if condition again it will not show up again, it goes in the else again and I don't know why.

#

Is there something else than using findDisplay to check whether the display is gone or not because i have the feeling the even if i set it to default findDisplay gives the result that it's still active.

that should be added to the Great Quotes From Arma Discord book

lone glade Jan 13, 2018, 10:59 PM

#

okay, time to make my quote list

rancid ruin Jan 13, 2018, 10:59 PM

#

you'd much rather play a dedicated Life game rather than play on a shitty server for arma 3 right?

#

no life server has devs that know sqf very well i'm pretty sure, don't worry about that

jade abyss Jan 13, 2018, 11:03 PM

#

Some do have some skilled guys, but... thats maybe 0.5%

Arma ¯_(ツ)_/¯

rancid ruin Jan 13, 2018, 11:05 PM

#

those skilled devs should just make the Life game

#

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

meager heart Jan 13, 2018, 11:07 PM

#

not enough skilled for make it standalone, they just skilled...

subtle ore Jan 13, 2018, 11:07 PM

#

@rancid ruin One of them are...

rancid ruin Jan 13, 2018, 11:08 PM

#

if you can figure out how to write good SQF then you can definitely figure out how to write good C#

#

therefore you could make a game

#

although i guess the networking aspect is not a walk in the park

still forum Jan 13, 2018, 11:10 PM

#

C# 🤢

rancid ruin Jan 13, 2018, 11:11 PM

#

unreal is probably a better fit yeah

#

but c++ is way more work than c#

queen cargo Jan 13, 2018, 11:14 PM

#

in regards of creating a game: i currently think of creating a top down RPG

#

like the old baldurs gate games on PS2

#

simply because there is non of those today

#

but i am horrible with UE simply because i never worked with it

still forum Jan 13, 2018, 11:23 PM

#

Well... Wouldn't that be a good reason to get started with working with it?

rancid ruin Jan 13, 2018, 11:25 PM

#

@queen cargo try godot engine

#

it's perfect for that kind of thing, and open source

river meteor Jan 13, 2018, 11:25 PM

#

You lose a lot that ArmA gives you when you try to make a standalone. It's not as simple as knowing sqf vs knowing C++ or any other mainstream language

#

There is a good reason why identity doesn't have any aircraft for example

rancid ruin Jan 13, 2018, 11:25 PM

#

using unreal for an RPG doesn't make sense at all imo

river meteor Jan 13, 2018, 11:26 PM

#

Also, isn't identity the Asylum team?

lone glade Jan 13, 2018, 11:26 PM

#

it's not a game, it was a demo with stolen market modules

#

or they're incredibly stupid and actually paid for them

river meteor Jan 13, 2018, 11:27 PM

#

I think they got inspired by the star citizen model

queen cargo Jan 13, 2018, 11:27 PM

#

@still forum yes ... but it is a hell lot of work and stuff is not easy and straigth forward : /
would even be more temted using a c++ graphics library and doing all myself but that requires actually hell of complicated math

lone glade Jan 13, 2018, 11:27 PM

#

getting to learn bullet will be helpful for arma 4

queen cargo Jan 13, 2018, 11:27 PM

#

@rancid ruin looks like a good engine
but ... want to try unreal engine (and use the asset store simply because i am a horrible designer ... but i can code <3)

lone glade Jan 13, 2018, 11:28 PM

#

since BI is dropping physX 😭

rancid ruin Jan 13, 2018, 11:28 PM

#

imo the days of using asset store stuff is over

#

the general public have got wise and will shit on your game regardless of how good it is
