So it will only execute if that guy JIP's which is not possible

Because when he JIP's he is a new unit. Thus he can't be that unit that was in thisList a couple minutes ago

Well, the teleport is when he spawn, go to the armory, a hint apears that he just needs to leave the base to teleport and then depending on how far the mission goes we weill be either teleported to a humvee with a .50, on a predeterminated area in the mission or on a blackhawk wtih a minigun

but, add a player that joins later and the trigger farts

still forum Jan 31, 2018, 1:34 PM

#

What does the JIP flag change on that?

#

Two possiblities.

You have AI enabled, aka when a player disconnects he will leave a AI soldier back, and when he rejoins he will join into his old body.
In that case he will be teleported back to the vehicle if he used the teleportation atleast once. Instead of spawning back at the same point where he disconnected.
You don't have AI enabled. In which case the JIP flag won't do anything besides filling the JIP queue with crap that won't ever do anything

#

is useless. And 1. is even worse.
Imagine you teleport at mission start. Then you play for 2 hours and walk a couple kilometers away. Want to rejoin quickly and instead of being with your troop. You are now a couple kilometers away from them. Back in that teleport vehicle and you need to do something to get back to your troop

#

that's documented tho

errant jasper Jan 31, 2018, 2:15 PM

Where?

still forum Jan 31, 2018, 2:15 PM

#

I expect it to start after preInit and then keep on going till after postInit maybe even several minutes into the mission

errant jasper Jan 31, 2018, 2:16 PM

#

So you need everything that gets invoked to be defined at preinit time, so you can't even define them from preinit since you don't know which runs first. At the same time everything that depends on JIP-invocations, need to wait until at least post-init is done.

unborn ether Jan 31, 2018, 2:17 PM

#

All JIP queue is done since getClientStateNumber passes value of 8

still forum Jan 31, 2018, 2:18 PM

#

You can do stuff at preInit though. If it's unscheduled you are guaranteed that no JIP messages will be able to arrive while your scripts execute. Or what do you mean?

errant jasper Jan 31, 2018, 2:19 PM

#

I mean when my stuff is to be defined for instance. It seems BIS only "gurantees" the JIP-system to work if you put everything that can be called into CfgFunctions.

still forum Jan 31, 2018, 2:19 PM

#

CfgFunctions also runs at preInit

errant jasper Jan 31, 2018, 2:19 PM

#

Then simply things like: Can I expect a objects inititialization line to have been run before any JIP ticket involving it are run.

still forum Jan 31, 2018, 2:19 PM

#

So defining your function for JIP in CfgFunctions or preInit doesn't matter

#

Oh yeah.. That's also a thing

errant jasper Jan 31, 2018, 2:21 PM

#

Maybe I am making this more complicated, but:
A. JIP-tickets might get processed already at preInit time, right?
B. I run something at preInit that defines some functions
Will B run before A, for example - so that the function invoked by JIP is actually defined?

unborn ether Jan 31, 2018, 2:21 PM

#

Well as in experience all JIP is somewhere between Functions with preInit attribute are called and init.sqf is executed, not sure in what order

still forum Jan 31, 2018, 2:21 PM

#

Afaik they get processed after preInit

#

So it's not possible to get a JIP message before preInit

#

As I said. CfgFunctions is preInit too

unborn ether Jan 31, 2018, 2:22 PM

#

I do not guarantee that 100%, there's not much about it.

#

Good to know.

unborn ether Jan 31, 2018, 2:24 PM

#

CfgFunctions are done the time JIP is coming. That definitely that way, as any remoteExec'ed function from CfgFunctions is already present.

errant jasper Jan 31, 2018, 2:24 PM

#

But it just shows so much left unclarified. I mean to make reliable concurrent system, like simply multiplayer logic, you need to be able to sequence code correctly, and that is difficult if you do not know when it runs.

The other side is ensuring that every client is up to date (JIP or not), and that might for JIP's case need to be sure that all JIP tickets have been processed.

unborn ether Jan 31, 2018, 2:31 PM

You can update JIP queued message if you pass 3rd arugment as not-empty string. This will override existing message, Example:

0 remoteExec ["someFunc",-2,"uniqueID"];
// 5 minutes later
1 remoteExec  ["someFunc",-2,"uniqueID"];

Will replace the first JIP-message

I'm not familiar with the fired event to say if it would be possible to track the smoke using that

Fired FiredMan FiredNear EVH triggers any projectile fired, since grenade is a projectile from a weapon called "Throw" it also does that

Fired ``` and FiredMan``` EVH are unit specific.
Better (maybe) to look more genarlly for an odd ammo - hence Purple Smokes.

#

Clipped code

#


_smokeCnt = 0;

while {_smokeCnt == 0} do {
  _smokeArray = ((position player) nearObjects["SmokeShellGreen",50]);
  _smokeCnt = count _smokeArray;
  if (_smokeCnt > 0) then {
       _smoke = _smokeArray select 0;
       _smokePos = position _smoke;
       _lz = "HeliHEmpty" createVehicle (position _smoke);
      };
sleep 1;
};```

Where systemChat - do what you need, you have the end position.
NOTICES:

Don't spawn it for any projecile, its just an example, use a muzzle name or ammo name to separate it from all others.
Works fine for grenade, not bullets. Bullets have an ability to ricochet and so, sometimes don't stop at the point where it hits.

As for bullets, well no idea, since isTouchingGround doesn't really react on them in any point.

thorn saffron Jan 31, 2018, 3:55 PM

maybe get the last know position, but I was just curious, so no need to bother with that

unborn ether Jan 31, 2018, 3:56 PM

#

@thorn saffron You can't know it since, you need a condition where you stop seeking it.

#

@thorn saffron If bullet ricochets, speed is still > 0, its alive and not null.

thorn saffron Jan 31, 2018, 3:59 PM

#

but if you compare the position with the last check and it returns the same then the bullet has "stopped"

unborn ether Jan 31, 2018, 4:00 PM

#

And if it doesn't?

thorn saffron Jan 31, 2018, 4:01 PM

#

If it didn't stop, then the position will be different on and the comparison will return false, and you can keep the check loop going

unborn ether Jan 31, 2018, 4:02 PM

#

My personal dilemma was at the point when the bullet ricochets. I wantted to get actual position of the hit, not the end position of a bullet life. I found no actual way to get this triggering properly at 100%

Thanks.

May of been a bad example but hopefully you get the jazz

#

Its me again... How can i make this code work the problem i have is i am not 100 % sure on how to do several conditions for a if and how to check is something is equal to anything in a array. The comments in here should explain most of it the _MatTrg is a trigger spawned in earlier ```sqf
_AcceptedCars = ["C_Offroad_01_F","C_Offroad_02_F"];
while { true } do
{
if(_caller inArea _MatTrg ) then //this while lopp checks for _caller every 3 seconds dont know if there is a more effective way to do it.
{
hint "You have arrived to the pick up zone please back up towards the object and turn your engine off"; // instrusctions
_vehType = typeOf vehicle _caller; // will be used to check if car can carry product (Has to be a hemmt offroad or van Not in place) I check it here incase caller changes vehicle on route and this is when he enters trigger around pick up object.
_veh = vehicle _caller; // to have a refrence of isEngineOnOn
}
else
{
if(_caller inArea _MatTrg && _vehType == _AcceptedCars && isEngineOn _veh == false) then // so what i am trying to do here is check if player is in the area AND veh type is one of the vehicles in a array AND isEngineOn _veh needs to be false.
{
hint "Loading started"; // hint
// More code will be added
}
else
{
if (_vehType
!= _AcceptedCars) then {
hint "You do not have one of the accepted cars";
};
sleep 1;
};
};
};

#

Simpley what i want to do is check if a player is in the area if thats true hint some instructions. And if the player then turn his car off and has the correct car a code will run (Will attach a object to it) and if the car is wrong it will hint that.

@fleet wind For the first place it will help you manage adding and removing Engine EVH, which is only added to a vehicle. Yes, adding and removing EVH in another EVH.

@fleet wind This way you DONT need to seek vehicle, as you have it GetInMan and GetOutMan returns.

@fleet wind Once you get the EVH purpose, you'll be happy.

The EVH passes information once it's fired

#

So that you can use the data in execution

fleet wind Jan 31, 2018, 4:49 PM

#

How would it roughly look? (I have very limited experience with EHs) so add all event handlers at the top of the script and then use them however later on or? and to add a Engine EH would that look like this _EngineStatus addEventHandler ["Engine",{if (_caller inArea _Mattrg) {//run this code}}]

unborn ether Jan 31, 2018, 4:53 PM

Its properly and better to

_vehicle addEventHandler ["Engine",{_this call yourFunctionName}];

@long gazelle Which player, your own player or some player that action is added to?

The action is on a laptop, and it should take the name of whomever interracts with it. My player or another player.

To print a hintC with a tittle and text (with variables) in mp/dedicated server.

#

With remoteExec..

[title, [content1, content2, ...]] remoteExec ["hintC"];

long gazelle Jan 31, 2018, 5:07 PM

#

I'll try it out.

#

format [["title%1", var1],["content %1 content %2 content %3 content %4", var2, var3, var3, var5]] remoteExec ["hintC", _target];

So I had it something like this, didn't work?
Now I'm assuming my variable positioning is all wrong but wanted to ask you guys.
So what's wrong in this line?

#

format ["content %1 content %2 content %3 content %4", var2, var3, var3, var5] remoteExec ["hintC", _target];

#

[format ["title%1", var1], format ["content %1 content %2 content %3 content %4", var2, var3, var3, var5]] remoteExec ["hintC", _target];

I suppose this could work ^.

#

Not sure again if the format is necessary but it has been previously when I used hint with variables..

subtle ore Jan 31, 2018, 5:38 PM

You cannot do :

So nil does not delet that variable if is set with publicVariable? so how i delet a publicVariable?

little eagle Jan 31, 2018, 6:53 PM

#

It will undefine it, but only on the one machine. Everyone else will still have it defined.

#

PLayMarkaMusic = nil;
publicVariable "PLayMarkaMusic";

#

This way it's undefined everywhere.

#

Or just like this:

missionNamespace setVariable ["PLayMarkaMusic", nil, true];

astral tendon Jan 31, 2018, 7:01 PM

#

sorry, i did not get that, but how does change the order will still undefine it? are you not define it aguain?

#

i was planing to use nil later when we reach one part of the mission

#

that was only a example

little eagle Jan 31, 2018, 7:05 PM

#

You have to synchrinize the variable again after undefining it. Otherwise it will only be undefined on the machine that set it to nil, but retain the old value on all other machines. There is no other way to explain this.

astral tendon Jan 31, 2018, 7:07 PM

#

missionNamespace setVariable ["PLayMarkaMusic", nil, true];

So, just using this will do what i want?

little eagle Jan 31, 2018, 7:08 PM

#

This will set the variable to nil on every machine. Dunno if that's what you want.

astral tendon Jan 31, 2018, 7:11 PM

#

Well, this is what i need.

if (!isNil "PLayMarkaMusic") then {"Marka" remoteExec ["playmusic"];};
if (!isNil "Loop") then {Loop = addMusicEventHandler ["MusicStop", {"loop" remoteExec ["playmusic"];}];
"loop" remoteExec ["playmusic"];};
if (!isNil "helirideMusic") then {"heliride" remoteExec ["playmusic"];};

this is at onPlayerRespawn.sqf
I made it so players that joined later still play the music once they respawn

#

You want to "delete" a variable. So you can check it using isNil

"true" is also a boolean

Do the same with a variable instead of "true"

you were talking about configs being static

were you referring to the static storage duration

barren magnet Feb 1, 2018, 9:44 PM

i am not referring to anything like that. i was referring to that people cant change a config ingame once it has been parsed. so if you want a static array and work on it without hurting your data you can getArray config >> meh and be happy

There is no way to change them from SQF code.

also i think a compile final doge_array = [1,2,354,5] is pretty much as static as you get in arma

InterSharpManaged.dll (Loaded from InterSharp.dll, C#, loads other C# addons present with x directory)

then you can just link intercept into your native/clr dll and reduce it to total one dll + user plugin

@tough abyss thanks. if getObjectTextures doesn't help, maybe you can use setVariable to store the texture path as a string? And then on respawn querry it again. That's my best guess, maybe someone else comes up with a better way. Not experienced with vehicle respawns.

shut flower Feb 2, 2018, 12:11 AM

the applied texture, is it saved to the object or is it applied to the object upon init?

upon init afaik, i'm trying to find where the attribute config is to check

expression="if (local _this) then {if (isSimpleObject _this) then {_this setVariable ['%s',_value]} else {([_this] + _value) call (uinamespace getvariable 'bis_fnc_initVehicle');};};";

#

reminder: BI code.

#

one thing I don't get is that it's supposed to be used for anims

#

the texture attribute doesn't have any expressions, meaning it doesn't do anything....

@swift ferryenai#3053 Global exeuction?

subtle ore Feb 2, 2018, 4:50 AM

#

Are for loops incrementing from 0 to the max in ms / seconds or just as fast as possible?

meager heart Feb 2, 2018, 5:10 AM

#

_i is set to 0
...code is executed
_i is incremented by 1, _i = 1
...code is executed
_i is incremented by 1, _i = 2 ... etc

if you will use step that will defines the value by which the variable is incremented every loop...
..so after code is executed
_i is incremented by <step_value>... default is 1

#

@subtle ore so as fast as code can be executed

Instead of if BOOL returning a special boolean with a special typename

Just make BOOL then CODE

True. Yet all scripting languages I can think of use if (or ? for SQS).

Do you see any reason why adding BOOL ? CODE : CODE would break existing scripts?

I think ? is free in SQF, but it may break SQS.

as ? BOOL is a unary operator and BOOL ? CODE would be binary

I guess they do though. as else and such are also the same in SQS and SQF

I'd say who cares, but stuff like start.sqs use it for the game loading images.

#

Also it's super unreadable.

Here's my idea.

#

Add
BOOL then CODE/ARRAY
in addition to
IF then CODE/ARRAY

And just add
#define if

Can you tell if a scope was opened by call vs. then, forEach etc.?

Might theoretically be possible. I should have access to the callstack

why do you even want that

little eagle Feb 2, 2018, 10:35 AM

I'm still thinking about a return command that would exit the scope like exitWith, but actually the one that was executed by call instead.

oh that makes sense

Go up the callstack till you find the next call and then jump out of it and push return value onto sack

Yep.

does the callstack store that information

still forum Feb 2, 2018, 10:36 AM

#

But I'm not 100% on... ^ exactly that

#

callstack stores source position. So if I reaaally need to I can just make a string match and see if it's a call

pliant stream Feb 2, 2018, 10:37 AM

#

🤔

little eagle Feb 2, 2018, 10:37 AM

#

I think it would be a useful and easy to handle behavour of return in SQF. call is not often used inside functions.

#

And if it is, it's mostly for local functions... At least when I write something. Dunno if people actually use local fucntions that much.

but not for stuff that you would want to return from

no ACE

#

Biggest problem is probably cleaning up the stack on your way to the next higher call

#

As each scope leaves stuff on the stack

little eagle Feb 2, 2018, 10:39 AM

A4 we should just add scopeName "main"; to the compile wrapper of PREP.

is then precence lower than others. Or is else precendence higher than others?

else is higher

then is a normal binary, and if is a normal unary afaik.

little eagle Feb 2, 2018, 10:47 AM

Still reading foxhound.international

#

What actually happens is that else is given a higher precedence than the then operator. The two code blocks are passed in and are returned as an ElseType object, which the then operator can then selects from once the condition is evaluated.

#

Noooo! It's not an ELSE. It's an ARRAY that looks like [CODE,CODE].
