you said >Im creating the task in eden using the createtask module
#arma3_scripting
exotic tinsel
and more, as i said before im spawning in compostion(missions) i need to clean them up when they are completed. i cant modify the triggers in the compositions but i can call my function at somepoint from; say the task creation. then i need to spawn in my trigger to detect when the task is completed so i can remove the composition.
meager heart
ok then just check for task completion in trigger statements
exotic tinsel
trying to do that, but its not working
meager heart
task id is what you set in module
exotic tinsel
yup and i left the var field blank
here is my trigger, no errors but also showing hint
_Trg_detectMissionComplete = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", getMarkerPos _spawnmarker];
_Trg_detectMissionComplete setTriggerStatements [
"
['+ _task +'] call BIS_fnc_taskCompleted;

someone please for the love of mike, tell me the syntax for using either one of these methods in (setTriggerStatements) with a var containing the task name.

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/taskCompleted
meager heart
taskCompleted "task_id";
["task_id"] call BIS_fnc_taskCompleted;
i cant put that in the setTriggerStatements it will throw an error because its supposed to be in cased in ""
meager heart
"taskCompleted 'task_id'";
exotic tinsel
tryed that says its expecting a task not a string
fossil yew

maybe he not set task id in that module

what ?

crap wont let me paste screen shot
well error says "error taskcompleted: type string, expected Task"
_Trg_detectMissionComplete setTriggerStatements ["taskCompleted 'test_1'","hint 'hello';", ""];
@fossil yew and this throws error as well
_Trg_detectMissionComplete setTriggerStatements [["test_1"] call BIS_fnc_taskCompleted;,"hint 'hello';", ""];
Is that what you have there ? https://gyazo.com/34910fc4635fc4b59052ad0df043b5d2
exotic tinsel
yes when i tested your suggestion, im now testing both your guys suggestions with the task id set to test_1
meager heart
Like that task id is set https://gyazo.com/376128035361706c81b77db40adfd432
exotic tinsel
yes
just finished testing
i cant put double qoutes in the setTriggerStatements because they are reserved for incasing the setTriggerStatements parameters in the setTriggerStatements parameters array.
when i use single quotes it complains about it being a string.
my head hurts
exotic tinsel
testing all four scenarios
With the task module task id = test_1 and with task id = “” but variable = test_1
_Trg_detectMissionComplete setTriggerStatements ["taskCompleted 'test_1'","hint 'hello';", ""];
_Trg_detectMissionComplete setTriggerStatements ["taskCompleted test_1","hint 'hello';", ""];
With the task module task id = test_1 and with task id = “” but variable = test_1
_Trg_detectMissionComplete setTriggerStatements ["[test_1] call BIS_fnc_taskCompleted;","hint 'hello';", ""];
_Trg_detectMissionComplete setTriggerStatements ["[‘test_1’] call BIS_fnc_taskCompleted;","hint 'hello';", ""];
errors or nothing for them all
meager heart
also where is your setTriggerActivation ?
exotic tinsel
fml, what should that be set to since im not using it?
_Trg_alldead setTriggerActivation ["NONE", "NOT PRESENT", false];```??i have a trigger sycned to >> settaskstate >> to create task
i give up, just tested all 8 scenarios, with or without single quotes, your suggestion and toms, with task id set, with variable set. all i get is task expected or nothing.
meager heart
if that is not life mission and there is less than 20 gigs of required addons send me it i will look... and will be less ping pong in chat 😀

im gonna do one last set of tests. but this time no spawning crap in, just set it up in the eden editor and see if any of these methods work manually.
meager heart
ok gl
exotic tinsel
ok get this shit!!!
(["test_1"] call BIS_fnc_taskCompleted) works in the trigger condition with double quotes, and the icing on the cake is with task id set

here is the proper syntax for using double quotes "([""test_1""] call BIS_fnc_taskCompleted);"

removeaction 0; would be the first action added to a person/object, correct?

Interesting, synchronizedObjects does not allow you to sync containers to a container, in such case it returns an empty array. It works fine if the containers are synced to player or a game logic.
exotic tinsel
_Trg_detectMissionComplete setTriggerStatements ["([""" + _task + """] call BIS_fnc_taskCompleted);","hint ""hello"";", ""];
for you guys who were helping me, thats how us a var inside double quotes.

How can I properly display the item count alongside the name and the picture?
halcyon crypt
does a listBox item even support structured text?
I think you have to use RscListNBox instead and then use multiple columns
like so
----------------------------------------
| icon | display name 1 | weapon count |
|------|----------------|--------------|
| icon | display name 2 | weapon count |
|------|----------------|--------------|
| icon | display name 3 | weapon count |
----------------------------------------
Ah I see now, I need to use the listNbox box instead
exotic tinsel
how do i check if array has values in an "if" condition? isnull and isnil isnt working
thorn saffron
_yourArray isEqualTo [];```
Will return true if _yourArray is empty!(_yourArray isEqualTo [])```
Will return true if not empty, ie. there is something insideif (v_activemissions isEqualTo []) then

The synchronized Object is a gamelogic placed in the editor, seens that height does not count, i was trying to create a unit on the top of a building.
Any way t fix that?
sour saffron
is it same linear height or diffeernt building ?
astral tendon
Im sorry?
The building does not seens to be the problem, the unit only gets created on ground level and ignore the object height.
i tried other buildings in the map and buildings placed in the editor but all the same result
sour saffron
what i was asking was if its the same building you can jst place the height as a parameter , in buildings a roadway lod will reset height to 0 so you need to know actual height in old days , maybe not ehere is a new way or else its a case of ASL
astral tendon
does not seens to matter the building, even if i manualy place the possition it is set to ground level
sour saffron
must be same as always then , pain in the ass
sour saffron
there a way
astral tendon
can some one let a note about it?
i imagine that you would sugest to set the height afther the unit created right?
sour saffron
well i am not so well informed in Arma 3 but i guess first is Above sea level and if not then worldtomodel or a relpos using modeltoworld
im sure i hear about some ATL too was a fix for this but cannot swear

does not matter
indigo snow
just create it and move it immediately after
astral tendon
even if i manualy set the Z it still gets ignored
sour saffron
ah yeah always place after creating
sour saffron
in last event try name of your thin setpos (player modeltoworld [0,0,0])
exotic tinsel
whats the best way to call a function after 10 seconds from the init file? sleep causes issues
indigo snow
an on each frame event handler that checks the time diff
assuming the sleep issues cause from suspending

that was the only way

this setPos _Objectpos;

if ({_x isEqualTo _mag} count magazines _unit < 2) then

i trow that on the new unit init and works.

dumb question
is there a way to use AttachTo without actually moving an object? I basically just want to use it to get rid of PhysX collisions
blazing quiver
Alright, I'm totally at a loss for this issue
Apologies in advance for the garbage-tier video, have not recorded anything in a while.
Basically, the sliding doors in my ship template will work in some positions but not others. I know the ship model is littered with invisible walls, and I've used a disablecollisionwith script to allow players to walk through them, but I suspect the invisible walls are stopping some of the doors from opening as well, since when I delete the ship model all doors work properly, regardless of position (all this is shown in the video).
Does anyone have any clue as to what could be causing this, and what I should be looking at in regards to fixes? Because I'm stumped.
tough abyss
Looks newer door detection method. just because you disabled collision between objects. The invisible wall geos are prob still blocking the door detection.
Using getCursorObjectParams is a good method to testing the new door detection ingame.
Anyway you would be better off overridding the config for the door conditions than scripting invisible walls.
blazing quiver
@tough abyss Thanks, that's something I would have had no clue about if you hadn't mentioned it.
I'm very much a super basic mission maker, any chance you could point me in the right direction for dealing with the door conditions?

Ok so I have a 2D array like the one bellow. It's an array containing weapon classes and their count inside multiple boxes. The issue is there are some duplicates. Say I have 2x "arifle_MX_F" and each has the count of 4 (ie. there are 8 rifles) I need to select the count for the first instance of the class name, go through the array, add up the counts from duplicates and remove the duplicates' classes and counts afterward.
[["arifle_MX_F","arifle_MX_GL_F","arifle_MX_SW_F","arifle_MXC_F","SMG_01_F","hgun_P07_F","hgun_Pistol_heavy_01_F","launch_B_Titan_F","launch_B_Titan_short_F","launch_NLAW_F","arifle_SDAR_F","arifle_MXM_F","srifle_LRR_F","srifle_DMR_03_F","srifle_DMR_02_F","MMG_02_black_F","arifle_MX_F","arifle_MX_GL_F","arifle_MX_SW_F","arifle_MXC_F","SMG_01_F","hgun_P07_F","hgun_Pistol_heavy_01_F"],[4,2,2,2,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,4,2,2,2,1,1,1]]```Or you could manually add the array elements in, using find / pushbackunqiue to check for duplicates
thorn saffron
Yeah, I was just saying this in case there is some magical command that already does that for you
tough abyss
No there isn't. Personnally i would use pushbackunique to add an element to array if it returns -1 you know it already exists, or returns the index.
If its a duplicate you can then use find to check for the index (find is case sensitive, but that shouldn't be an issue for your case)
thorn saffron
I was given a function that actually does the searching and removing strings. I just need to adapt it for this

_ammount set [_index, _num];
} else {
_index = (_classnames find _class);
_ammount set [_index, (_ammount select _index) + _num];
};
Didn't test but that is the gist of it
updated it: forgot to use find to get index
thorn saffron
the problem is this:
_classnames = ["classA","classB","classC","classA"]
_ammount = [10,20,30,24];
You group then back into a main array afterwards i.e above you basicaly have [_classanmes,_ammount]
Or you can do reference arrays, but people get confused over that (thinking they copied an array). Not really in anything else scripting wise in arma
_classnames = [......................] select 0;
_ammount = [......................] select 1

@drowsy axle If it can only be a one classname then you can just get the classname and then compare it with the one you set in the script

Either that. Or you remember which mortar already has a box

I could do something like that
I could do setvariable to hasBox
at the end then check that the object has that variable
setvariable do work like that...
setvariable isn't giving it a "unique" name, corect?

you can set the variable onto the mortar

I don't understand the context of setVariable.
_objectFinder setVariable ["hasBox", 1, true]; and _objectFinder = hasBox;
still forum
The context is the argument you give to it on the left side
drowsy axle
_objectFinder setVariable ["_hasBox", 1, true]; and _objectFinder = _hasBox;
the _hasBox can also store info
which for the setvar
is 1
still forum
Those are two completly different things
drowsy axle
..........................
okay
That's good
So the setVariable doesn't define an actual variable.
still forum
_objectFinder setVariable ["hasBox", 1, true];
set's the variable hasBox on the object inside _objectFinder to 1 and transfers to everyone on the server.
_objectFinder = _hasBox copies the contents of the local _hasBox variable into the _objectFinder variable
No. setVariable does define a actual variable.
dusk sage
A problem?

Probably
dusk sage
With you/your code?

Perhaps rewrite your code with the newly learned information, then see
drowsy axle
Yup
You say this: @still forum
set's the variable hasBox on the object inside _objectFinder to 1 and transfers to everyone on the server.
that doesn't define the _objectfinder
still forum
I know what I say
No need to repeat
True? The word _obfinder doesn't appear anywhere in that sentence
drowsy axle
it's the object within it
dusk sage
I think you need to elaborate on what you want objectFinder to be defined as
It's the object you're setting the variable on
still forum
Well yeah it doesn't define it
because you are supposed to give that to the setVariable function
drowsy axle
ObjectFinder is already defined as an array of objects
dusk sage
Then you can't setVariable on it

I know
So the setVariable would be on the _object which i cannot do, as it would already be created

Truth is: if you don't have a real reason to learn coding its hard. I jumped a bit deeper into that to create that shop script thing. The fact I do it for arma keeps me interested.

im calling a function from a trigger and getting an error when using time in the function, is there an alternative?
indigo snow
do you know why youre getting that error?
exotic tinsel
no i dont, can you explain, im a noob
indigo snow
you can execute scripts in two contexts in arma, scheduled and non scheduled. non-scheduled scripts run completely in a single frame, so they can cause a big stutter. scheduled scripts stop running after 3 ms and resume the next frame. Only these scheduled scripts can suspend, use sleep and waitUntil.
Generally, scheduled code is executed with the spawn command as opposed to the call command. Consult the wiki for more information.
outer fjord
Question,
call{this animateDoor ["Door_rear", 1, true];}
Will that work in a dedicated server enviroment? Or do I need more added. This is simply on a ifirit inti section
indigo snow
it would reexecute everytime a player connects
exotic tinsel
thanks @indigo snow , whats a good alernative to using this then _future = time + 5; waitUntil {time >= _future}; i need a delay in this function and using spawn isnt an option.
indigo snow
im also not sure why you wrap it inside a call
why isnt using spawn an option? Otherwise you simply can't suspend, you stay in a single frame
unless you use CBA
exotic tinsel
becaue i have to call another function that spawns in a compostiion and it throws tons of errors when i call my func with spawn
indigo snow
then solve those
spawn simply shows you errors non-scheduled ignores
they have to do with nil
exotic tinsel
would rather not mate, its a whole library of code that i didnt write.
indigo snow
Then you cant suspend unless you use CBA
(as an aside, not seeing the errors doesnt mean theyre not there...)
exotic tinsel
ok so spawn is being used and im getting the error "error generic error in expression". here is the line of code its complaining about.
_future = time + 10; waitUntil {time >= _future};
please post the full error
You are most likely not getting a "generic error"
It always shows that. Right next to the actual error

As longs as the function that suspends is scheduled it's fine
Even if you call inside a spawned function it is still scheduled so sleeping in there is fine too

Possible get this ID via scripts?

Instead of posting a screenshot with minimal information you could also link the wiki page and say what you want

I understand that # 0 this is this ID, but how to get it into the script?
still forum
Thanks for the next basically 0 information screenshot
You can't get it via script
and you don't need it
umbral oyster
No, I need to get this information, I would not ask if it would not be necessary
still forum
Why do you need it?
umbral oyster
for RCON
still forum
Oh. Then it's impossible
Can I now tell you alternative ways to do this
or do you just not care?
umbral oyster
bcs cmnd kick not working with GUID, name or UID
still forum
Wiki says it does though
In RCON just use #userlist then you get ID+Name+UID.
Then just search user by name or UID and then grab the ID from the table

@still forum please help, i have an issue with https://abload.de/img/2018-01-2700_33_51-arn6j4c.jpg
still forum
@austere hawk You have a syntax error at line 157. The cookie in your metavariablearray is one too high. You need to decrease the index by if (_index == 1) then {1} else {1}
And then it should work
meager heart
If not try this ༼ つ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° ༽つ fix
austere hawk
but the file i stole from someone else clearly says decrease index by -2
still forum
It's good that you didn't ask your very specific question in some life forum. here is definetly the perfect place to get help with that

but then they would know i haxored their files...

Hey does anyone know how to make VR entities in the editor?
I have some VR entities with the init "[this, 10] call bis_fnc_VRHitpart;"
which works for showing the damage, but the time is totally broken
the number is supposed to tell it to reset the colors but it doesn't work
so I can either disable simulation so they remain standing but this doesn't help because the colors don't reset
or I can enable simulation so they fall and die like normal, but what I really need is for them to respawn then just like they do in the VR arsenal
so that it forces the hit zones to reset like they should
anyone know how I can acheive this? I found nothing online

@willow haven Gonna try this myself sometime, good stuff you want to do.
willow haven
Yeah, I'm making kavala into a target range and I was initially using just pop up targets (and some skeets that explode when you shoot them)
but now I want some fancier stuff
especially since I can't get moving targets to work
the rails I mean
but I've never done SQL so

is there a way to get the id of a client executing a server function via remoteExec?
river meteor
@fluid radish you can send clientOwner as an argument
fluid radish
I guess I could, but then I'd be trusting the client to identify itself - is there some sort of magic variable/parameter passed to remote functions instead?
obtuse cosmos
@fluid radish Is this what you are looking for? https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/remoteExecutedOwner
fluid radish
that's exactly what I was looking for, thank you @obtuse cosmos

Hey, is there a script that would spawn a placable door as open instead of closed? Open doors module is not working.
From google I'm seeing a lot of vehicle door stuff but what I'm looking to use is basically a sliding bulkhead door from a mod

thank you, will take a look
cerulean whale
Anyone know why my gesture (animation) works in singleplayer but not multiplayer?
obtuse cosmos
show me your code?
cerulean whale
like no animation on either screen
obtuse cosmos
// show code
noone, even the client executing it can see it: SQF player playAction "Foski_Gesture_handsUp"
it's my friends one but he aint on and I was integrating it via script
obtuse cosmos
you just want hands up ?
cerulean whale
it's a custom gesture, can walk around and such
and it's happening with all my other gestures as well for some reason
obtuse cosmos
let me try
1 sec
where did you get "Foski_Gesture_handsUp" from ?
I don't see it on https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/playAction/actions
Note: Not all of these work btw
@cerulean whale You said you can move with hands up? Or stand still like:
cerulean whale
yer
obtuse cosmos
show fix?
cerulean whale
yeah 1 sec lemme just reload my game lmao xD
obtuse cosmos
rgr
you can walk around with hands in air?
😮
or is it like, static?
LMFAO
that is so funny!
These are new, right? From Laws of War DLC I assume...
unborn ether
@obtuse cosmos No thats not coming from that DLC. That animation is called "Acts_CivilIdle_1" and were in arma since alpha i think.
@obtuse cosmos And yes, you can move like this.
obtuse cosmos
lmao
never ever saw this 😄
are the panic animations new?
or did they just add category for it in Anim Viewer?
subtle ore
¯_(ツ)_/¯
obtuse cosmos
How come the animations behave differently? ```sqf
player switchMove "Acts_CivilIdle_1";
I can move
With playMoveNow, I can't but, it isn't the same
subtle ore
They don't behave differently, they're a blend of animations
so that you don't have a new anim for each type of movement
Well, seperate that is
obtuse cosmos
this is what I get with switchMove: https://youtu.be/RppzccQv_Us
subtle ore
Think of it like a statemachine:
Moving left? -> Transition to left
Moving Right? -> Transition to right
willow haven
anyone know how to do it?
obtuse cosmos
Do what? @willow haven
willow haven
scroll up a bit
subtle ore
How do ou mean Haz? playMove places anim in qeue
unborn ether
@obtuse cosmos If you want to interrupt it you need to
player switchMove "";
yeah
I know that
but I mean, when I do: ```sqf
player playMoveNow "Acts_CivilIdle_1";
it doesn't look liek the same aniamtion at all
subtle ore
try playmove isntead, you could be breaking something
obtuse cosmos
okay
with playMoveNow
playet stands, hand on neck
idle
player playMove "Acts_CivilIdle_1";
same as playMoveNow
subtle ore
Surrender?

@willow haven what do you want exactly?
Use extDB3
ooh
I didn't see that question...
let me check Wiki for you @willow haven
willow haven
I tried, but maybe you'll have better luck
really it would be fine if the hit zones reset like they should
obtuse cosmos
they are still damaged
willow haven
otherwise I need them to respawn just like in the VR arsenal
willow haven
Description:
Initialize hit effects on VR targets
- grey - undamaged
- orange - damaged
- red - destroyed
Parameter(s):
0: OBJECT
1 (Optional, default is 30): NUMBER - delay before hit parts are returned back to default
Returns:
NOTHING
willow haven
so it should disappear after 30 seconds I assume
obtuse cosmos
oh
willow haven
yes it works
obtuse cosmos
AH
willow haven
but I need it to then stop working
else I need to have the dummies respawn like in the arsenal when they respawn right there in the same position
I'm making a target range, but it's going to suck if the targets break after one shot you know
willow haven
it should
it has it by default, and has its own function
although..
come to think of it you never see it reset on the dummies in the arsenal, but it does reset on the VR target vehicles
so maybe it only works on them?
obtuse cosmos
ah
