This is the page you want @fleet wind https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Dialog_Control

fleet wind Jan 16, 2018, 7:24 PM

#

I am useing this to define it ```hpp
class RscEdit
{
idc = -1;
type = 2;
style = "16 + 512"; // multi line + no border
x = 0;
y = 0;
h = 0.2;
w = 1;
font = "PuristaMedium";
sizeEx = 0.04;
autocomplete = "";
canModify = true;
maxChars = 100;
forceDrawCaret = false;
colorSelection[] = {0,1,0,1};
colorText[] = {0,0,1,1};
colorDisabled[] = {1,0,0,1};
colorBackground[] = {0,0,0,0.5};
text = __EVAL("Line 1" + endl + "Line 2" + endl + "Line 3"); // how to output multiline
};

#

And this in my dialogs thingy and for some reason i can not even see the thing ingame ```sqf
class JaM_TextEnter: RscEdit
{
idc = 1400;

x = 0.572187 * safezoneW + safezoneX;
y = 0.324 * safezoneH + safezoneY;
w = 0.12375 * safezoneW;
h = 0.044 * safezoneH;

};

#

I am very new to this so its prob a VERY simple mistake...¨

river meteor Jan 16, 2018, 7:26 PM

#

are you doing createDialog "JaM_TextEnter"

fleet wind Jan 16, 2018, 7:40 PM

#

No thats what the actual Name i put on the RSCEdit i placed in the GUI editor.

#

@river meteor

river meteor Jan 16, 2018, 7:41 PM

#

the dialog won't create unless you have a script to tell it to create

#

you can test it by running the command ```sqf
createDialog "JaM_TextEnter"

fleet wind Jan 16, 2018, 7:43 PM

#

Oooo Yes lulz i open it via a sign

river meteor Jan 16, 2018, 7:43 PM

#

and it doesn't open and you get no errors in your rtp?

fleet wind Jan 16, 2018, 7:44 PM

#

Pm ed you a screenshot of the begining of the code and then the part above is the last line ill show you a picture of how it looks in game

#

http://prntscr.com/i1d1il And the RSCEdit thing is supposed to be to the left of that

#

Pmed you the whole dialog

river meteor Jan 16, 2018, 7:48 PM

#

you need to add lineSpacing = 0 to RscEdit if you are going to use multi line style

#

err = 1 not 0

@still forum sry read this late https://gyazo.com/17eb86c29118b8e9c7bd45d1d45dfdfd Yes It's possible/no you can't, care to elaborate? 😄

fleet wind Jan 16, 2018, 7:49 PM

#

I do not want to use multiple line

river meteor Jan 16, 2018, 7:50 PM

#

instead of 16+512 hve it be 2+512 then

fleet wind Jan 16, 2018, 7:50 PM

#

I want someone to be able to enter a maximum of say 10 caracters. What i am makeing is a thing where people can input whatever and then display that as a numberplate with setPlateText

river meteor Jan 16, 2018, 7:51 PM

#

look at your config options for your RscEdit

#

you can specify the maxChars there, and you will want to change the style to 2 if you want a border and 2+512 if you want no border. You probably also want to set text to "" so that nothing displays inside of your edit box. I recommend a script with a UI Event Handler to handle displaying the input

fleet wind Jan 16, 2018, 7:55 PM

#

Is it not possible to make whatever got put in to the box to a veriable ?

river meteor Jan 16, 2018, 7:57 PM

#

I've never used it, but the onChar UI event seems like you could read the input into a variable when the event fires

#

without an event, you have no way to know when to read what's in the input box

fleet wind Jan 16, 2018, 7:58 PM

#

What if i make a button so when thats pressed it reads whats in the box would that be possible?

river meteor Jan 16, 2018, 7:58 PM

#

yes, but that still uses a UI event. This is not a problem by the way, using UI events are not very much code

#

or you could do a key event, so when the user presses the enter key it reads the input box

meager heart Jan 16, 2018, 8:00 PM

@fleet wind Nice tutorial with dialogs http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=287378519 and you can do it with just ctrlCreate

    _rsc_edit = _empty_display ctrlCreate ["RscEdit", -1];

why did i take it would take a long time to type thid

#

so I wana make a repulsor type script,like say ur in a jet. my logic for now,which i havent tested is to 

get velocity,lets call it Vi,get it so that I have the components aswell
sleep for a very small time
get the velocity,lets call it Vf
get the absolute difference,call it deltaV,get it so that I have the components aswell
decrease each vector component by that abs difference of the corresponding competent in deltaV times 4
do this utill user says staph

You’re not stupid, you just have bad luck when you think

still forum Jan 16, 2018, 9:09 PM

#

minimum sleep time is one frame

#

which is 1000/<fps count> milliseconds

#

But. you are not guaranteed that you execute next frame

#

might also take dozens or hundreds or thousands of frames

#

so a sleep 0.1 could sleep for a couple hours

edgy dune Jan 16, 2018, 9:10 PM

#

bahahahaa

#

.1 second=1 hour

#

gg

still forum Jan 16, 2018, 9:10 PM

When you use a Each frame handler you are guaranteed to execute after one frame time

edgy dune Jan 16, 2018, 9:11 PM

#

oh

still forum Jan 16, 2018, 9:11 PM

#

which again can be between 8 and several thousand milliseconds

#

but you can use diag_tickTime to measure how long you have slept for

edgy dune Jan 16, 2018, 9:11 PM

#

okay thats too fine for me?

still forum Jan 16, 2018, 9:11 PM

so even if it takes longer than you wanted you know how long you slept and can use that in your math

edgy dune Jan 16, 2018, 9:14 PM

ima assume if i do vector-vector it will return the vector diffrence and idk not something dumb like magnatidue right T_T

vector-vector is deltaVector

You can only do what's predefined in config and model itself

For anything else, you'll need to change model and config

@lone glade I have a alternative. Go Scheduled

Global variable script handle. Terminate it when the panel is refreshed. Fill the panel but keep an array of icons instead of applying them.
When done with filling spawn a loop over these icons that set's the icon.

unit init's box , yuck. The only way you can truly prevent the player from removing the scope is just by doing constant checks.

And you can't pull it off in the arsenal. ?

it works fine
debatable, not very clean to say the least.

plus it runs for every client that joins, using init boxes on everything

@subtle ore are you trying to make arsenal with specific stuff?

and often "not very clean" is not much of a concern tbh

@unborn ether No, this isn't my concern. Look above

#

@inner swallow But why not just write one script that runs on the units you want it to?

#

I mean, you're almost crippling yourself trying to use an init box (applies for triggers as well), rather than just one script

Hello people i have made myself a little GIU (Dialog) and have added a RSCedit. There is no text in the Box and i want players to add text and that then becomes a variable. I have no clue how to do this to. Please help.

How would i do it with a button?

Add an eventhandler to the button that executes code when the button is activated.
And that code reads the edit boxes input using ctrlText.

#

And then does whatever you want with that.

All cut things are in layers next to each other. Unless your ui elements are also done via cut, you can't change the order.

If you can, use it before spectator is initialized, then it will work

cutText ["", "black out", 0.5];
sleep 2;
["Initialize", [(_this select 0), [blufor], true, false, true, true, true, false, false, true]] call BIS_fnc_EGSpectator;

Actually that might be the problem, cause I have the respawn screen in the background which also uses the cutText...

Don't think you can hide those with cutX.

A huge question about data/bandwidth relation. What is an actual limit for total objects existing via ctrlCreate or mission.sqm, or setVariable or remoteExec data considering that objects are fully simulated or just simple, variables are global, and remoteExecs are JIP.

#

can some one add a note that on the unit init if you use setFace you need first use lockIdentity

#

lockIdentity this;
this setFace 'AfricanHead_01';

#

something like this

#

Is the lockIdentity always set to true default though? @astral tendon

#

Maybe there is a command like; isIdentityLocked or something

#

I tink that only happens with the createunit

#

units from the editor i dont need to do that

#

Using unit init boxes again facepalm

#

Next it'll be triggers

astral tendon Jan 19, 2018, 7:02 AM

#

what is the problem anyway?

#

Awful to work with, unreadable past three or four lines

#

Triggers are like shooting yourself in the foot, and if you want to expand functionality it's likely to be limited down the road

#

Same with unit init boxes, no local variables.

#

Terrible to work with

#

I am not even using triggers for this anything complex, so i dont know what you are talking about on that.

#

And what happens afther the 4° line on the unit init?
