Small correction..

lone glade Jan 30, 2018, 12:23 AM

#

I mean, phase not phace 😄

long gazelle Jan 30, 2018, 12:23 AM

#

That's what it says.

lone glade Jan 30, 2018, 12:23 AM

#

oh wait, no

#

it's because you're using this in the code block

#

it's undefined there

long gazelle Jan 30, 2018, 12:24 AM

#

So give the object a name and call it with that?

lone glade Jan 30, 2018, 12:24 AM

#

not necessarily, hitPart passes the object being hit doesn't it?

long gazelle Jan 30, 2018, 12:25 AM

#

yes.. I tracked it with this: this addEventHandler ["hitPart", {systemChat str (_this select 0) select 5)}]

subtle ore Jan 30, 2018, 12:25 AM

#

hitPart returns array

long gazelle Jan 30, 2018, 12:25 AM

#

As you guys taught me earlier today.

subtle ore Jan 30, 2018, 12:25 AM

#

Hence array expected object

lone glade Jan 30, 2018, 12:25 AM

#

in this case this is the selection

#

ah fuck I gave you the answer again

long gazelle Jan 30, 2018, 12:26 AM

#

So: this addEventHandler ["hitPart", {systemChat str ((_this select 0) animationSourcePhase "plate_1")}]

subtle ore Jan 30, 2018, 12:26 AM

#

Hm, okay.

lone glade Jan 30, 2018, 12:27 AM

see the code you posted before this one^ and see where your error is

edgy dune Jan 30, 2018, 12:28 AM

#

okay so about when I assked about getting actions from the action menu

#

so what im tryna do is

#

say theres a helicopter that has a action that opens like the rear ramp

#

and theres one that closes it

#

is there away I can get hte id of that action and then have it where the ramp goes down,waits 3 seconds and goes back up again

long gazelle Jan 30, 2018, 12:29 AM

#

Okay, alganthe I need you to give me the code just straigth. I know you want me to learn but I can learn a lot better from that than from this frustration of not understanding.

#

Plus, on a clock here.

lone glade Jan 30, 2018, 12:30 AM

#

this addEventHandler ["hitPart", {systemChat str ((_this select 0) select 0 animationSourcePhase "plate_1")}]

#

@edgy dune yes it's possible afaik.

#

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Event_Handlers/inGameUISetEventHandler#Action use that event

long gazelle Jan 30, 2018, 12:32 AM

#

Okay now it got harder... It prints 0 no matter what... Animations are between 0 and 1, so it should print 1 from shooting it on the other side.. But either side is giving me 0.

edgy dune Jan 30, 2018, 12:32 AM

#

wat im also tryna do is key bind that action to a key,which for some reason in this mod i have doenst have the open/close ramp mapped

lone glade Jan 30, 2018, 12:33 AM

#

i'm assuming they're config actions, you can't add shortcuts for those "directly" without editing the mod

#

you can, however, add an onKeyDown EH on display 46 with a similar condition that is used for the action

edgy dune Jan 30, 2018, 12:37 AM

#

ill look in to that then

long gazelle Jan 30, 2018, 12:39 AM

#

So alganthe, any ideas what next?

lone glade Jan 30, 2018, 12:40 AM

#

I mean, considering there's a number behind "plate_" it's possible there's an anim for each one of them

long gazelle Jan 30, 2018, 12:40 AM

#

Yeah..

cosmic kettle Jan 30, 2018, 12:42 AM

#

Try

hintSilent str (selectionNames cursorTarget)

It should show you all target selections.

#

Or go through the config files, you'll easily find those.

lone glade Jan 30, 2018, 12:43 AM

#

or even better, write a func that does it for you and returns the proper anim

long gazelle Jan 30, 2018, 12:43 AM

#

I know the selections. I tested it out already.

lone glade Jan 30, 2018, 12:43 AM

#

on this note, sleep time.

cosmic kettle Jan 30, 2018, 12:43 AM

#

selections are not equel to animations.

long gazelle Jan 30, 2018, 12:43 AM

#

They are named "plate_1" through "plate_6".

#

But I need more that that to have it return a different value when white and red are hit.

meager heart Jan 30, 2018, 12:48 AM

#

return it yourself "manually" with EH

long gazelle Jan 30, 2018, 12:55 AM

#

The dueling target has 2 sides on each 6 "plate_#", white and red.
I want to make the dueling target so that when a white side is hit nad it turns red, it returns variable _white to the execVM "point.sqf", and when a red side is hit and it turns white, it returns variable _red.

_white and _red are examples in this case, don't get attached to them.

cosmic kettle Jan 30, 2018, 12:57 AM

#

I assume just rotating the object 180° is not a valid replacement? (scrap that, colors remain the same...)

long gazelle Jan 30, 2018, 1:00 AM

#

Yeah, and it doesn't even have a different surface on either side.. Same surface on both sides.

meager heart Jan 30, 2018, 1:07 AM

#

you can just reset them at start like you whant, add them in to array_white after hit add them in to array_red...etc

cosmic kettle Jan 30, 2018, 1:07 AM

#

@long gazelle should the target still turn?

long gazelle Jan 30, 2018, 1:07 AM

#

Yes..

#

The idea is a competition, who ever gets all of his sides plates turned to the opponets side wins.

#

sldt1ck that could work..

#

Wouldn't need the animation..

#

Now I just need to figure out how to assign them to arrays with eventhandler.

cosmic kettle Jan 30, 2018, 1:25 AM

#

@long gazelle As I'm currently working on targets, it seemed like a nice challenge. It's hacky, but works.

private _EH = (cursorTarget addEventHandler ["HitPart", {
  private _colorRed = "#(argb,8,8,3)color(1,0,0,1.0,CO)";
  private _colorWhite = "#(argb,8,8,3)color(1,1,1,1.0,CO)";
  private _target = ((_this select 0) select 0);
  private _selectionNames = (selectionNames _target);
  private _selectionArr = ((_this select 0) select 5);
  private _selection = if ((count _selectionArr) < 1) then {
    (_selectionArr select 0);
  }else{
    private _validPlate = "";
    {
      if (_x in _selectionNames) exitWith {_validPlate = _x};
    } forEach _selectionArr;
    _validPlate
  };
  private _selectionIndex = (_selectionNames find _selection);

  if (isNil {_target getVariable "currentColor"}) then {
    if (_selectionIndex < 3) then {
      _target setVariable ["currentColor", _colorRed];
    }else{
      _target setVariable ["currentColor", _colorWhite];
    };
  }else{
    if ((_target getVariable "currentColor") isEqualTo _colorRed) then {
      _target setVariable ["currentColor", _colorWhite];
    }else{
      _target setVariable ["currentColor", _colorRed];
    };
  };
  private _currentColor = (_target getVariable "currentColor");
  _target setObjectTextureGlobal [_selectionIndex, _currentColor];
  hint format ["Set texture: %1 on object: %2 / selection: %3", _currentColor, _target, _selection];
}]);
player setVariable ["myEH", _EH];

long gazelle Jan 30, 2018, 1:25 AM

#

_a = _a - _b?

#

And I have NO idea what is happening in that code... (mostly because too long)

cosmic kettle Jan 30, 2018, 1:26 AM

#

execute it on your target and try it out, I'd say that would be the least you can do lol

#

basically it figures out what the selection was you hit, figures out which color it needs to set and applies it to the according selection.

long gazelle Jan 30, 2018, 1:29 AM

#

Nothing happened..

#

So nothing visual was supposed to happen?

cosmic kettle Jan 30, 2018, 1:30 AM

#

If you executed it correctly on the target, it should hint what it's doing as you shoot it.

#

so maybe try executing it again

#

it also stores the EH in a variable on your player

#

well, the index that is.

long gazelle Jan 30, 2018, 1:34 AM

#

How do I get the selection without the EH?

#

For example if I wanted to set the selection "plate_1" to array_white when the object is builded?

cosmic kettle Jan 30, 2018, 1:37 AM

#

that would be this part of the code:

private _target = cursorTarget;

// get all selections
private _selectionNames = (selectionNames _target);

// find plate_1 index
private _selectionIndex = (_selectionNames find "plate_1");

// set white texture on index
private _colorWhite = "#(argb,8,8,3)color(1,1,1,1.0,CO)";
_target setObjectTextureGlobal [_selectionIndex, _colorWhite];

long gazelle Jan 30, 2018, 1:38 AM

#

Okay why do you keep using the cursor target?

cosmic kettle Jan 30, 2018, 1:38 AM

#

you can swap that for whatever you like.

long gazelle Jan 30, 2018, 1:38 AM

#

No I can't, I don't know the code.

cosmic kettle Jan 30, 2018, 1:39 AM

#

to do so on init

#

you mean?

long gazelle Jan 30, 2018, 1:39 AM

#

Okay I read what you just wrote and I don't understand any of it.

cosmic kettle Jan 30, 2018, 1:40 AM

#

you mean

#

you place it in editor

#

and it should work on start

long gazelle Jan 30, 2018, 1:40 AM

#

Something like that but it was a bad example.. I get the feeling what I wanted didn't convey through..

cosmic kettle Jan 30, 2018, 1:41 AM

#

this setObjectTextureGlobal [((selectionNames this) find "plate_1"), "#(argb,8,8,3)color(1,1,1,1.0,CO)"];

#

put that in init

long gazelle Jan 30, 2018, 1:43 AM

#

Again, no idea what half of that does..

#

Keep in mind that I am at level 0 with scripting.

cosmic kettle Jan 30, 2018, 1:43 AM

#

I thought u just wanted it to work and were on a clock? You can just look up the functions or read what I write.

#

#

#

it's those lines, compacted into 1 for easier use in 3den

long gazelle Jan 30, 2018, 1:44 AM

#

Oh right, my clock ran out an hour ago..

#

So now I'm just doing it because of stubborness issues..

cosmic kettle Jan 30, 2018, 1:44 AM

#

{ if (_x select [0,5] isEqualTo "plate") then {this setObjectTextureGlobal [((selectionNames this) find _x), "#(argb,8,8,3)color(1,1,1,1.0,CO)"];};} forEach (selectionNames this);

^above is to change all of them to white

#

re-read what I said. Some things might not make any sense at first glance, but it's about getting the logic. There are so many ways to get there.

#

imo, the eventhandler is the easiest one. no setup required ezpz

What could cause vehicles from an optional mod (loaded on the server with servermod launch parameter) not being detected properly when passed from a client to the server such as through a remoteExec?

fossil yew Jan 30, 2018, 7:36 AM

#

"not being detected properly when passed from a client to the server such as through a remoteExec" - please elaborate

warm gorge Jan 30, 2018, 7:37 AM

So lets say I get a nearby vehicle on the client with nearestObjects, and then send that vehicle to the server through remoteExec to store and delete, but nothing happens. Only with the modded vehicles though.

peak plover Jan 30, 2018, 7:38 AM

#

pliant stream Jan 30, 2018, 11:48 AM

#

@peak plover if you don't care about stability, then it's much more efficient to swap with the last element and resize once at the end

#

this will give you linear instead of polynomial complexity

still forum Jan 30, 2018, 12:01 PM

#

"much more"

#

You are talking about the engine having to move elements?

pliant stream Jan 30, 2018, 12:01 PM

#

i'm talking about algorithmic complexity

#

your constant factors have nothing to do with that

still forum Jan 30, 2018, 12:02 PM

#

But in the end it doesn't matter anyway. As SQF is sooooo slow compared to engine

#

If you do a swap that's 2 SQF commands. And then another one for the deleteRange at the end.
Which will in the end be much slower than just letting the engine move the memory

pliant stream Jan 30, 2018, 12:03 PM

#

sure, for small datasets the naïve algorithm will be faster, but it doesn't scale

still forum Jan 30, 2018, 12:03 PM

#

Sure

#

If you are on multi million element arrays then it might start to matter slightly

#

It is just a plain memory move. 2 pointers per array element.

#

At more than a gigabit/s ram speed... Doesn't really matter.

#

You're gonna get bigger benefit by just reducing the number of SQF instructions

pliant stream Jan 30, 2018, 12:22 PM

#

yeah it'll probably be faster because of the comparatively huge constant factors that the extra instructions introduce, but i was trying to point out the naiveté of the algorithm. it's always good to consider such things even if in practice the algorithm with higher complexity wins out

long gazelle Jan 30, 2018, 2:18 PM

#

So A3_Stickie send me this bit of code that I first didn't understand: ```private _EH = (cursorTarget addEventHandler ["HitPart", {
private _colorRed = "#(argb,8,8,3)color(1,0,0,1.0,CO)";
private _colorWhite = "#(argb,8,8,3)color(1,1,1,1.0,CO)";
private _target = ((_this select 0) select 0);
private _selectionNames = (selectionNames _target);
private _selectionArr = ((_this select 0) select 5);
private _selection = if ((count _selectionArr) < 1) then {
(_selectionArr select 0);
}else{
private _validPlate = "";
{
if (_x in _selectionNames) exitWith {_validPlate = _x};
} forEach _selectionArr;
_validPlate
};
private _selectionIndex = (_selectionNames find _selection);

if (isNil {_target getVariable "currentColor"}) then {
if (_selectionIndex < 3) then {
_target setVariable ["currentColor", _colorRed];
}else{
_target setVariable ["currentColor", _colorWhite];
};
}else{
if ((_target getVariable "currentColor") isEqualTo _colorRed) then {
_target setVariable ["currentColor", _colorWhite];
}else{
_target setVariable ["currentColor", _colorRed];
};
};
private _currentColor = (_target getVariable "currentColor");
_target setObjectTextureGlobal [_selectionIndex, _currentColor];
hint format ["Set texture: %1 on object: %2 / selection: %3", _currentColor, _target, _selection];
}]);
player setVariable ["myEH", _EH];```

But after going through it couple of times I started to make something out of it.
The idea is that when ever I shoot at a Dueling Target (the one with 6 plates that switch side from white to red and vice versa when shot) and it assignes the targeted plate to either _colorWhite or _colorRed and removes it from the other debending on which it was when shot...

Stickie told me to execute this in my target and I did.. But so far it has done nothing.. No hint, no error, no nothing.. Any ideas?

```sqf

lone glade Jan 30, 2018, 2:19 PM

#

it won't work, his code is supposed to change the color of the plate

#

but i'm fairly sure those don't have dedicated texture selections

long gazelle Jan 30, 2018, 2:20 PM

#

The plates are numbered 1 through 6 but the sides don't have own selection.

little eagle Jan 30, 2018, 2:20 PM

#

hit selection has no relation to hidden selection.

#

They're different.

#

This will not work in principle.

long gazelle Jan 30, 2018, 2:36 PM

#

Well I'm out of ideas and don't even know how half of this stuff works..
Because no matter what I try I can't figure out how to do it.

The idea is to have a competition between 2 players, one shoots white targets and the other one red targets.
Who ever shoots all of his targets to the opponets side first or has more targets shot to oppenents side when time runs out wins.
The challenge is that when an opponent shoots a target it becomes your target, thus the competition can go for quite a while.

The final code needs 2 parts that I don't know how to do:

take all the Dueling Targets in the area and assign selections "plate_#" (1, 2 & 3) to arrayWhite (this formats the dueling arena, I only need one array to keep track of to assign victor, so no need for arrayRed.)
EH that changes adds "plate_#" to arrayWhite if it was shot on the red side and removes it if it was shot on the white side.

When I tested out what selection name I was given when shooting target, I used code this addEventHandler ["hitPart", {hint str ((_this select 0) select 5)}]
As a result I got hint: ["flie_geo","plate_1"]
So the selection name itself is an array.

I've fallen in despair with this but I still wanna get it working, help would be appreciated.
But please try to make it simple, I don't understand too comlex line of code, at least without proper commenting.

ACE advanced ballistics shooting range is spawning a semitransparent yellow ball on every place you hit

you cannot color the plates. But you can just spawn a colored ball over them.
So instead of red/white plates you have a red(or whatever other color) ball on the plate that indicates the last hit

still forum Jan 30, 2018, 6:59 PM

Thanks

#

Yeah. I know. That looks crusty no need to tell me that.
In my code that would look like
(static_cast<game_data_object*>(sqf::player().data.getRef())->get_position_matrix();
Yuck.

#

sqf::player here is actually not free nor safe (in multithreaded) But the rest is. So if you store an array of units then you can freely get the position of them later.

Hello there i am trying to make a simple hint when a player (Player activateing the script) enters an Area this works but only if i teleport to the trigger like in the script below if i simpley walk in the 10x10 area or drive in i do not get the hint any ideas why? ```sqf
//caller is defined and works
_caller setpos (getpos(_trigger));

if(_caller inArea _trigger) then {
hint "You have entered a zone";
};

#

defines for trigger ```_trigger = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector",getpos _Material];
_trigger setTriggerArea [20, 20, 0, false];
_trigger setTriggerActivation ["CIV", "PRESENT", true];

indigo snow Jan 30, 2018, 9:03 PM

Youre not looping it, are you?

#

That script only checks once - immediately when it is called

#

If the player isnt in the trigger when the script gets called, it exits

Hey, is hintC message displayed on every player's screen?

indigo snow Jan 30, 2018, 11:38 PM

#

No

long gazelle Jan 30, 2018, 11:38 PM

#

Okay..

#

So who all see the message?

indigo snow Jan 30, 2018, 11:39 PM

Only the client that executed the command

#

If you look the command up on the wiki, it says EL : Effects Local

long gazelle Jan 30, 2018, 11:40 PM

#

Okay..

private _myTimeM = _this select 0;

When one of the conditions is met who sees the message? Is the computer that hosts the server always the client or what?

why 0? That's everyone

@long gazelle did you read that ? https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addAction

#

What should I put in the {} so that the player in MP who presses that is assigned to a variable "whiteShooter"?
Parameters array passed to the script upon activation in _this variable is: [target, caller, ID, arguments]

long gazelle Jan 31, 2018, 3:02 AM

#

Can I get a bit more explaining? I just got more confused..

meager heart Jan 31, 2018, 3:03 AM

#

Parameters array passed to the script upon activation in _this variable is: [target, caller, ID, arguments]
target (_this select 0): Object - the object which the action is assigned to
caller (_this select 1): Object - the unit that activated the action
ID (_this select 2): Number - ID of the activated action (same as ID returned by addAction)
arguments (_this select 3): Anything - arguments given to the script if you are using the extended syntax

long gazelle Jan 31, 2018, 3:04 AM

#

(_this select 1)?

Can you check if https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/magazinesDetail executed on a box returns the magazines inside that box? If not then it's not easily possible

You can add the key on a unit and let the unit put the key into the box manually. If you are willing to do that. And I can't really help you with that

@hushed minnow

_local overwrites the _local if it already existed previously in a higher scope.
private _local creates a new variable for the current and all lower scopes. But doesn't overwrite higher scopes

Just like the example above

    _var = 2;  //_var is now 2

okay, learned a lot today

still forum Jan 31, 2018, 10:06 AM

#

If you write _local it checks if it exists in the current scope, if not it goes one higher, and continues till it arrives at the highest scope or it finds it.
If it finds it it uses the one it found and possibly edits it. If it doesn't find it it creates a new variable in the current scope.
If you write private _local it literally only checks the current scope and doesn't go higher. And if it doesn't find it there it creates a new variable too

But doesn't nearest location only give you locations ?

and then you use script to get all units in location

@peak plover do you use script to search all units inside location? Or do you just save units in a variable on the location?

peak plover Jan 31, 2018, 10:44 AM

#

save into a variable

#

And update clusters in a certain interval

barren magnet Jan 31, 2018, 10:44 AM

Question is why would you want all units in a location ?

barren magnet Jan 31, 2018, 10:47 AM

I'm not quite sure why you would like to cache units at as location ?

#

To remove them when nor near them at all ?

#

And spawn them in when you get close ?

#

Or what's the deal with it

peak plover Jan 31, 2018, 10:48 AM

#

clientside caching

#

Only caching on the client

barren magnet Jan 31, 2018, 10:48 AM

#

Caching what ... You cache a result of something to not recalculate something

I only disable / enable

still forum Jan 31, 2018, 10:49 AM

#

instead of checking each unit if it is close to the player. He checks only a few clusters of units

peak plover Jan 31, 2018, 10:49 AM

#

1 player can be fighting in cherno. When other player is in elektro and he caches all the stuff in cherno. Gets more fps

#

dynamic sim only does this globally.

barren magnet Jan 31, 2018, 10:50 AM

#

I won't call that "cache" tbh. I would call that an erea or interest optimization

still forum Jan 31, 2018, 10:50 AM

#

It is usually referred to as "unit caching" I think.. Yeah.. There are better names

barren magnet Jan 31, 2018, 10:50 AM

#

The units don't disappear they only use less computing power of not simulated

peak plover Jan 31, 2018, 10:50 AM

#

🤷

#

They also send no data

barren magnet Jan 31, 2018, 10:51 AM

Not 100% certain that an non simulated object does not send data at all but it's less as a simulated one for sure

lone glade Jan 31, 2018, 12:39 PM

they either need to be in a group that would spot the targets for them or somehow use High Command (HC)

otherwise the targets not being revelead to their group they wouldn't do jack shit

check this

[thislist select 0,car_1] remoteExec["moveInGunner",thislist select 0,true];

#

though i am remoteExec "moveInGunner"

still forum Jan 31, 2018, 1:22 PM

#

That's not how that works.

#

You don't send "car_1" you send the content of that variable

#

Doesn't matter if the client that receives that messages has a "car_1" variable. Because the actual message in the JIP queue doesn't even contain the "car_1" variable name at all

astral tendon Jan 31, 2018, 1:23 PM

That mean this still works?

as long as the car still exists and wasn't deleted. It will work
