#

My point is, don't get used to using init boxes and triggers

#

What happens is that there is zero ability to format and it's ugly as all hell to look at

#

Totally kills your workflow time

astral tendon Jan 19, 2018, 7:08 AM

#

Not like some one going to see that during the gameplay i think.

subtle ore Jan 19, 2018, 7:08 AM

#

No....but it's terrible practice

#

For your own benefit and prevention of confusion, you should just move the thing to a new script

astral tendon Jan 19, 2018, 7:10 AM

#

My only consern is if the script works and the game does not crash and i can have the hight amout of FPS i can get.

subtle ore Jan 19, 2018, 7:10 AM

#

Well if you're sloppy, then you won't get any better fps either way

astral tendon Jan 19, 2018, 7:12 AM

#

Then, just give me better codes or tip to get the best fps i can get. Dont just trow salt on me like you are my superior or something.

subtle ore Jan 19, 2018, 7:13 AM

#

I'm not your superior, and i have shown you in the past alternative methods. I have given you tips

astral tendon Jan 19, 2018, 7:14 AM

#

80% of the time you are trowing salt at me and not giving any straight answer

subtle ore Jan 19, 2018, 7:16 AM

#

"Throwing salt at me", what is that supposed to mean? I have given you a straight answer, i am not going to rewrite everything from your unit init myself. That's on you.

astral tendon Jan 19, 2018, 7:18 AM

#

Look above on the createUnit issue.

subtle ore Jan 19, 2018, 7:23 AM

#

Yep, i was trying to make sense of what you were doing. Didn't make sense at first

#

It's pretty simple though, pass the unit object into the script. Make a variable out of it, then replace your insane amount of this with _yourUnitObject

#

But yes, i was wrong about the syntax. Eyes skipped over it, my bad. But i certainly think this is something you still should learn

astral tendon Jan 19, 2018, 7:27 AM

#

My only question was about why on that script i was testing the "" did not work but with '' or with out any of thet did.

subtle ore Jan 19, 2018, 7:27 AM

#

Because you would be ending the string

astral tendon Jan 19, 2018, 7:28 AM

#

this setUnitPos "UP";//not work
this setUnitPos 'UP';// work
this setUnitPos UP;//work

subtle ore Jan 19, 2018, 7:29 AM

#

_stringThing = "Hello 'bob'?"; //correct
_stringThing = "Hello "bob"?"; //stops at hello

astral tendon Jan 19, 2018, 7:30 AM

#

You could just have anser that.

#

it would have saved allot of time

subtle ore Jan 19, 2018, 7:31 AM

#

No, i was trying to make sense of it all. Send you some of those tips you wish for.

astral tendon Jan 19, 2018, 7:32 AM

#

You did not need to, you could anse that question straight then give the tip, that code was scraped anyway but i learn some things with it.

subtle ore Jan 19, 2018, 7:33 AM

#

But, you're still using triggers and unit init boxes?

astral tendon Jan 19, 2018, 7:33 AM

#

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWTtE5hRcCY

#

does this looks like can be done with triggers?

inner swallow Jan 19, 2018, 7:38 AM

#

midnight, you know, if the biggest complaint about triggers and init boxes are "they're maybe unreadable sometimes" then i think you need to stop spreading things as doctrine

#

also "you're shooting yourself in the foot" or "you're crippling yourself" - less hyperbole and more explanation, please.

Weren't the Attributes like "ordinary Anims", so they should report over the net natively

No. Attributes are just script backed stuff. They don't just do stuff natively

jade abyss Jan 19, 2018, 11:39 AM

#

but animate/animateSource is

indigo snow Jan 19, 2018, 11:39 AM

#

we had to broadcast setvariable in attribute expressions

#

either way @velvet merlin barring any non reported changes, expressions only execute where the object is local.

jade abyss Jan 19, 2018, 11:41 AM

#

Of course, only on the client where it's executed. But result (when it comes to anims) is global.

What specific case do you have in mind, where it would matter who the owner of it is?

velvet merlin Jan 19, 2018, 11:42 AM

#

like worst case you have a JIP reset/change the state again

jade abyss Jan 19, 2018, 11:43 AM

#

Nah, the state should be reported normaly

#

e.g. if a door is open or not

#

Only the SetVar stuff (as like it is for years) must be broadcasted

indigo snow Jan 19, 2018, 11:44 AM

just treat them like an init eventhandler

Hia guys - I am trying to override the default winner and looser debriefings via description.ext - the wiki on the matter (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Debriefing) only shows for the loosing side, but my guess was "winner" would be the right work for winning side.
I also think they misspelled looser - so I added the two variants just to be sure.

However I still get the default one :-(

Here is my debriefing classes

`class CfgDebriefing
{
class winner
{
title = "You are victorious";
subtitle = "Yey!";
description = "Amazing work";
// pictureBackground = "";
// picture = "";
// pictureColor[] = {0.0,0.3,0.6,1};
};

class looser
{
title = "You have been defeated";
subtitle = "Buuhh!";
description = "Look at you now!";
// pictureBackground = "";
// picture = "";
// pictureColor[] = {0.0,0.3,0.6,1};
};

class loser
{
title = "You have been defeated";

A simple one 😉 How do you do several ifs ? for example if I > 3 & x > 6 & z > 2 do ....

#

so all of those have to be true to run the code

dusk sage Jan 19, 2018, 11:04 PM

#

if (I > 3 && x > 6 && ...) then {}

#

Can use

if (I > 3 && {x > 6}...}

for lazy-eval (see wiki)

why can't apply any sort of damange with setHitPointDamage after spawning a vehicle?

#

_vehicle setHitPointDamage["HitLFWheel",1];

This is the code, I can't set the damage to 1 if the vehicle didn't move after I spawned it with createVehicle

#

If I move the vehicle, works great

#

Or if a player enters the vehicle

meager granite Jan 20, 2018, 4:13 PM

Locality issues I guess?

#

Make sure vehicle you're damaging is local

winter dune Jan 20, 2018, 4:14 PM

ok, the vehicle is not local

are there any workarounds?

remoteExec

if (!local _vehicle) exitWith {
    _vehicle remoteExec ['nig_fnc_dmgW',_vehicle];
};
_vehicle setHitPointDamage["HitLFWheel",1];

#

Everything should be a function, but you can just use call to run code

#

if it's not

winter dune Jan 20, 2018, 4:17 PM

my vehicle is spawned by a remoteExec on the server side, I execute the setHitPointDamage with a remoteExec for all clients

subtle ore Jan 20, 2018, 6:50 PM

#

why exactly are they all in strings may I ask?

#

positions aren't strings

#

so

_caller setPos "[7002,11602,0]";

doesn't work

fleet wind Jan 20, 2018, 6:59 PM

#

Yes sorry @inner swallow what im trying to do is make it so that a random number generates _rNumber then just round that _Numround so that i get a whole number. What im then trying to do is take that number and select whatevr is in its pos in the _listOfSpawns and place that in the _caller setpos _actualSpawn to make the player spawn at any of the locations.

#

@subtle ore what would be a goood way of doing this then ?

Offhand, is there a BE filter that would easily return code being executed in the watch fields of debug console? Anything through the actual menu itself can be caught with the remoteexec filter "BIS_fnc_debugConsoleExec [[0-2],{.*}]", but the watch fields don't utilize remoteexec.

rancid ruin Jan 20, 2018, 8:59 PM

#

why isn't it used more?

unborn ether Jan 20, 2018, 9:47 PM

#

For my opinion - in terms of SQF try catch throw should be used for like wrapping framework parts with no code/data access, like foreign API, Engine itself and stuff. Because if you script own framework, why would you create situations that must be handled? And as far as I know there's currently no point where you (for actual reasons) can stop modding RV for yourself.

tough abyss Jan 20, 2018, 9:54 PM

#

Try catch in sqf isn't for catching exceptions really.
Its just anotherway to structure code and have it run another branch of code when you run sqf command throw + pass a variable with it.
Basically some code you can rewrite abit cleaner with it but its not really needed for anything.
Prob why its really not used, almost forgotten about etc

unborn ether Jan 20, 2018, 9:57 PM

#

Yeah it could be cool if like calling some extension was able to result in something bigger than just nothing, if it fails, for example.

tough abyss Jan 20, 2018, 10:00 PM

#

Don't really need it for exception handling in sqf for extensions.
Extension is only loaded once, just have it return something, so if its empty string you know it didn't load

Hi, I've been trying to get this to work for awhile now, but I need some help. I thought I'd try here before posting on the subreddit

#

All I'm trying to do is have a script that when placed in an object's init spawns an explosive at the target when it gets hit.

#

I've been trying

this addEventHandler ["hit", "'R_TBG32V_F' createVehicle (getpos _this select 0)"];

and

this addEventHandler ["hit", "createVehicle ['R_TBG32V_F', getPos 'this', [], 0, 'NONE']"];

and variations on this, but it never works. Depending on how I word it I either get no error message or "Error getpos: type Array, expected Object,Location"

still forum Jan 20, 2018, 10:37 PM

#

@severe solstice try catch in SQF catches SQF throw no script errors or whatever else

#

Intercept command calls can throw a SQF exception that can be caught with try/catch in sqf

#

I don't think that's very useful though. But maybe someone finds a use

Copy the config from the UI template and remove stuff you don't need. Reposition what you do need

A few months ago I went through the same struggle. The tutorial was terrible. I found the export from the gui editor doesn't work with mission dialogs. The inheritance is broken, so you need to fully define the base classes . You can get good bases from the mission nigel posted, and then edit the gui editor export so it inherits from them.

Or do your dialog as a mod, the inheritance works properly then.

lone glade Jan 21, 2018, 2:34 PM

#

there's no inheritance in "mission" GUIs

#

you have to redefine base classes

Is there a scripting command or something to disable the ability to rearm at backpacks? So to remove "Rearm at Carryall Backpack (Coyote)" for example? Other than hooking into the Action event handler

peak plover Jan 21, 2018, 3:55 PM

Hmm

#

You could look into lock backpack scripts

#

But that would mean no way to open it too

no clue if it's doable in arma 3 :S

@warm gorge setAmmoCargo might help at scripted level, but i'm not sure, since i never touched rearming with backpacks. The only thing i know for sure is that backpack is an actual vehicle and probably will react the same.

@warm gorge To return the backpack container use backpackContainer

"_something" is a local variable that can be only called in script it was created
"something" is global one that can be called across scripts
So if I have my box scanner functions then I need to have it update global variables so those can be use someplace else, right?

peak plover Jan 22, 2018, 3:26 PM

What issue?

fringe yoke Jan 22, 2018, 3:28 PM

I'm using this bit of code here exeucted on the server

if (isNil "SynixeCur_group") then {SynixeCur_group = creategroup sideLogic;};
    publicVariable "SynixeCur_group";
    SynixeCur = SynixeCur_group createunit["ModuleCurator_F", [0, 90, 90], [], 0.5, "NONE"];    //Logic Server
    SynixeCur setVariable ["showNotification",false];
    SynixeCur setVariable ["TFAR_curatorCamEars", true];
    SynixeCur setCuratorEditingAreaType false;
    //SynixeCur allowCuratorLogicIgnoreAreas false;
    unassignCurator SynixeCur;
    publicVariable "SynixeCur";
    _cfg = (configFile >> "CfgPatches");
    _newAddons = [];
    for "_i" from 0 to((count _cfg) - 1) do {
      _name = configName(_cfg select _i);
      _newAddons pushBack _name;
    };
    if (count _newAddons > 0) then {SynixeCur addCuratorAddons _newAddons};
    SynixeCur setcuratorcoef["place", 0];
    SynixeCur setcuratorcoef["delete", 0];
    unassignCurator SynixeCur;
    sleep 0.4;
    zeus assignCurator SynixeCur;

It works fine and the player with the variable name zeus can get into the Zeus interface.
The issue is that every interface (Like ACE Update Editable Objects) is displayed twice.

This causes all sorts of weird things, vehicles get locked just by clicking on them. All AI units are set to prone. And it is impossible to edit cargo of containers. After you click OK they become empty.

Hey, I've got a quite unprecise question. I've made a GUI and now I want others to be able to change specific parameters of my GUI via config. But I have no idea on where to start, I'm not good at scripting, just started learning cpp. This is my GUI:

class category_1_button: RscButtonMenu
{
    idc = 1103;
    text = "Category 1";
    x = 0.470381 * safezoneW + safezoneX;
    y = 0.184567 * safezoneH + safezoneY;
    w = 0.06 * safezoneW;
    h = 0.04 * safezoneH;
    ColorBackground[] = {0,0,0,0.627450};
    ColorText[] = {1,1,1,1};
    font = PuristaBold;    SizeEx = 0.1;
    colorFocused[] = {0,0,0,0};
    colorDisabled[] = {0,0,0,0};
    style = "ST_CENTER";
            
    action = "closeDialog 1100; createDialog 'aca_category_1';";
};

I want to be able to change the idc, text and action parameter, but how?

and it returns to you what it creates

There is only one thing. It's not possible for something else to be there. no need to detect anything

simple solstice Jan 22, 2018, 6:15 PM

#

you don't get to set the id

#

the game does it for you

#

and returns it to you

#

so you can store it in an variable

quartz coyote Jan 22, 2018, 6:16 PM

#

......... so why the fuck does the Biki talk about a caller, a ID and bla bla bla and then tells you you have to _this select 2 to get the ID ?????

#

who wrote this ???

still forum Jan 22, 2018, 6:16 PM

#

it doesn't

#

That's for the code inside the action

#

completly different thing

simple solstice Jan 22, 2018, 6:17 PM

#

are you writing in SQF or SQS

quartz coyote Jan 22, 2018, 6:17 PM

#

okkkkkkkkk

simple solstice Jan 22, 2018, 6:17 PM

that note is for SQS

No it's not?

quartz coyote Jan 22, 2018, 6:17 PM

#

okay well I finaly understood

still forum Jan 22, 2018, 6:18 PM

#

@quartz coyote Scroll down further

#

"Return Value"

#

That is what it returns.

#

As the name kinda says

#

and you put what it returns into the variable

simple solstice Jan 22, 2018, 6:18 PM

activate_generator.sqs:_gen = _this select 0 _caller = _this select 1 _id = _this select 2 ; remove the action once it is activated _gen removeAction _id

Because they do?

He cited that perfectly.

what ever, I understood and that's good.
Please guys, keep in mind that if you wanna help ppl that don't understand, keep calm and keep it clear. I didn't learn this shit in school so I struggle. but i'll truggle even more I you don't enjoy helping me or put bad temper in it.

simple solstice Jan 22, 2018, 6:20 PM

but that's for the script

still forum Jan 22, 2018, 6:20 PM

#

Yes

#

exactly

#

that was the problem

simple solstice Jan 22, 2018, 6:20 PM

#

so does he want it in the script or in a var

still forum Jan 22, 2018, 6:20 PM

#

var

simple solstice Jan 22, 2018, 6:21 PM

why would he even consider that

#

quartz coyote Jan 22, 2018, 6:24 PM

#

I'm considering that because I tryed _id = _this select 2;
player removeAction _id; inside my script but it said "Error zero divisor"

still forum Jan 22, 2018, 6:25 PM

#

_this is a local variable

#

it doesn't magically know that you want something from a dozen scripts away that might or might not have happened a couple minutes or hours ago

#

And as the wiki also says

quartz coyote Jan 22, 2018, 6:27 PM

#

but I executed it inside the script that was triggered in my addAction

still forum Jan 22, 2018, 6:27 PM

#

That stuff is passed in _this to the script that you pass in there

#

_this are the arguments that are passed to a script

quartz coyote Jan 22, 2018, 6:28 PM

#

yea... so I did write that in the so known script

still forum Jan 22, 2018, 6:28 PM

#

in your script you ignored whatever was in _this and instead passed []

#

you ignored the arguments. And then you called your function via the spawn with an empty array

quartz coyote Jan 22, 2018, 6:29 PM

#

omfg

#

that was my original question

#

how do I pass on this IDDDDDDDD

#

put pass on the Array

still forum Jan 22, 2018, 6:29 PM

#

That's why I asked "inside the actions code?" But you didn't want to answer me

quartz coyote Jan 22, 2018, 6:29 PM

#

Oh year sorry that was so clear

#

cristal bro

#

Each fucking time I ask you for help you KNOW i'm a Newbie dude

#

and you keep on talking to me as if was a pro

still forum Jan 22, 2018, 6:30 PM

#

yeah my question was clear. But if you don't want to answer my question for whatever reason. What should I do?

quartz coyote Jan 22, 2018, 6:30 PM

#

soory but not for me man ...

#

I don't understand your question

still forum Jan 22, 2018, 6:31 PM

#

No it wasn't at all clear that you are in the actions code.

#

That's why I asked

#

Then tell me that you don't understand the question

#

and I'll try to formulate it differently

quartz coyote Jan 22, 2018, 6:32 PM

#

I answered with what I had man ...
this is my action
player addAction ["<t color='#ff0000'>CAR</t>",{[] spawn SpawnUCar},[],-1];

still forum Jan 22, 2018, 6:33 PM

#

You answered with "..."

#

I then just guessed that you mean that you don't understand the question

quartz coyote Jan 22, 2018, 6:33 PM

#

so, now I do understand you question and I will formulate differently my own question :
How to I get the ID inside my executed script ?

still forum Jan 22, 2018, 6:34 PM

#

I then asked again. If you are trying to do that inside the code of your action. And then you answer with a completly unrelated thing

#

Instead of yes/no

#

yeah. I would have understood that

quartz coyote Jan 22, 2018, 6:35 PM

#

sorry, I was completely lost by your question so ...

#

so now, can I and how can I ?

still forum Jan 22, 2018, 6:36 PM

#

what? Pass _this along to your script?

#

I already said "you ignored whatever was in _this and instead passed []"
So just. Stop passing [] and pass _this instead

quartz coyote Jan 22, 2018, 6:37 PM

#

Id like to understand how to do a player removeAction ID; inside of my executed script once the player has pressed the action

#

I don't understand how I passed on []

still forum Jan 22, 2018, 6:37 PM

#

pass _this along to your script. Read the wiki page for 'spawn' on how to do that.
Then use
player removeAction (_this select 2)

#

like The wiki says

#

Look at your addAction code

#

and search for the []

#

The left argument of "spawn" is the parameter that is passed along to the script and then put into the _this variable. As the "spawn" wiki page tells you

quartz coyote Jan 22, 2018, 6:39 PM

#

Ah okay

#

So

#

I should pass on the ID inside the [HERE] spawn SpawnUCar; ?

copper raven Jan 22, 2018, 6:40 PM

#

http://prntscr.com/i42853

still forum Jan 22, 2018, 6:40 PM

#

no

#

just pass _this

#

like I told you atleast 3 times already

#

@copper raven not helpful at all.

#

But thanks

quartz coyote Jan 22, 2018, 6:41 PM

#

[_this] spawn SpawnUCar; ?

still forum Jan 22, 2018, 6:41 PM

#

No

#

That passes [_this]
