little eagle
That is what we did when local / private keyword was made.
Or when we switched from EXPLODE_PVT_N to params.
unborn ether
params is yet the best what BIS made without breaking something
little eagle
That's a lot of overhead.
unborn ether
๐
little eagle
param used to be broken with index -1. It wouldn't report the default (like it would with -2), but the same as index 0.
Also, params used to not trigger an error message when the type didn't match. That was even more powerful imo.

Don't suppose there's a way to block path finding for certain ssides in a certain area? Soldiers keep walking into their own minefields, lol

Why do they move into the mine field in the first place? SAD, Guard?

@little eagle Neither.
It's just the fastest way

Well, actually, it's not, but they still go that way

More waypoints to get around the minefield.

Instead of walking through the entrance to my base, they walk through the live firing range, into the minefield,
which is then fenced on the other side

Try it:
west == blufor

Dunno, maybe they thought west/east/resistance doesn't fit the A3 scenario.
So they made blufor/opfor/independent.

How can you create several markers on (position) objects in a array? have tried this ```{_testmakr = createMarker ["Helicopter", (getpos _x)];
_testmakr setMarkerShape "ICON";
_testmakr setMarkerType "hd_dot";
} forEach _helis;
Markers need unique names.
Replace the name with:
format ["Helicopter%1", _forEachIndex]
for example to dynamically create marker names.

I'm looking for a way to use getMissionConfigValue with BIS_fnc_typeText. Specifically, IntelBriefingName isn't passing to typetext. I get this error:
https://i.imgur.com/11FRiVy.png
The work around I'm currently using is including the mission.sqm into description.ext and calling the value with missionConfigFile.
Full block:
_title = getText (missionConfigFile >> "MissionSQM" >> "Mission" >> "Intel" >> "briefingName");
_author = getMissionConfigValue ["Author",0];
_cmfvers = getText (missionConfigFile >> "cmfVers");
[
[
[_title, "<t align = 'center' shadow = '1' size = '0.9'>%1</t><br/>",5],
["By: " + _author,"<t align = 'center' shadow = '1' size = '0.6'>%1</t><br/>",5],
[_cmfvers,"<t align = 'center' shadow = '1' size = '0.4'>%1</t><br/>",5],
[format ["%3/%2/%1 %4:%5",date select 0, date select 1, date select 2,date select 3, date select 4],"<t align = 'center' shadow = '1' size = '0.4'>%1</t>",10]
] , 1, 1.05
] spawn BIS_fnc_typeText;
As listed above, getMissionConfigValue ["Author",0]; works fine, but getMissionConfigValue ["IntelBriefingName",0]; does not.
little eagle
You can't just combine the two strings. getMissionConfigValue only works for root level mission config entries.
Also, the default value seems wrong. Should be "" or something like that, not 0.
wooden tinsel
Ahhh, gotcha. Thanks a bunch.
little eagle
Why would you want to change this anyway?
wooden tinsel
I mean, as the block above is now, it works fine. I was just curious as to why getMissionConfigValue ["IntelBriefingName",0]; didnt work the same way as getMissionConfigValue ["Author",0]; did.
little eagle
getMissionConfigValue ["BriefingName", "no name"]
BriefingName is the attributes name, and it seems to be the root level config entry according to this list: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Description.ext#briefingName
class BriefingName //sources - ["A3_3DEN"]
{
data = "IntelBriefingName";
Welp. Rookie mistake haha.

peak plover
It makes sure that if it's a string, it's got a marker color, which means it's a real marker.
If it's a obj, it makes sure it's not NULL
and if it's an array, it makes sure it's not empty
But it looks... disgusting
unborn ether
As usual you just gonna figure something less "ugly" laters
compact galleon
@peak plover Well, I can see at least one thing you can shorten
(_x isEqualType [] && {!(_x isEqualTo [])}) to ({!(_x isEqualTo [])})
subtle ore
isEqualTo would already imply checking array?
lone glade
^ what he said
lone glade
it will
peak plover
@compact galleon is right
compact galleon
No. == will. isEqualTo will not
peak plover
isEqualTo checks type?
compact galleon
@peak plover Performs strict comparison between var1 and var2 and returns true if equal, otherwise false. Strict means that it would check that both arguments are of the same data type and then compare the values.
lone glade
well, "most" types not all of them
peak plover
Ooh
That's good thanks
isEqualTo = === apparently
That's good to know
so basically
_var = true;
_var isEqualTo true
compact galleon
But not so strict that arrays have to be the same instance
meager heart
well you can even
_fnc_isEqualTo = {
switch (_this select 0) do
{
case (_this select 1) : {true};
default {false};
};
};
no ?
compact galleon
Yes, but whether it'll accept all types, I don't know
[[], []] call _fnc_isEqualTo will return true
lone glade
how many times are you going to write if (bool) then {true} else {false}

Hey sorry if this seems like a bit of a vague question but can anyone give me any suggestions for good scripts / features to try and make (relatively basic but with experience of programming beforehand) in sqf.
lone glade
that's fairly vague, you want to learn sqf?
worn hatch
yer pretty much and im just looking for small project ideas to try and make
so like how in say when learning c# I first made a login system and then a 'atm' style system so something like taht but in sqf
lone glade
i'm trying to think of something but nothing comes up :/
austere hawk
hello world script using the various message possibilities...
lone glade
but that doesn't really help learning sqf
i'd say finding something you want to do and then ask for pointers here would be faster
but finding "simple" tasks to learn sqf isn't a bad idea in itself.
austere hawk
what is so special about sqf compared to c#? thats the question then. Propably the scheduled/unscheduled thing?
austere hawk
but thats a trivial thing isnt it?
yeah i mean quirks and "meh this is awefull" but thats something you adjust as you go i would recon?
lone glade
I guess
worn hatch
yer see I mainly do 3d modelling and have been for a while now but ive got a project idea I really wanted to start on but alot of the mechanics are whatI would assume to be relatively complicated to implement so I wanted to try and make some smaller things first and then try and work on the ones for my project
austere hawk
i wrote an extended vehicle damage script... and then started on 3d radar stuff (before jet dlc came) and 3D artillery computer as first stuff.
and i'm not really familiar with any programming language, just the basic structure, some syntax and stuff
its not that hard
lone glade
knowing versionning (git) is also very useful
worn hatch
extended vehicle damage? so like each part such as the wheels doors etc gets its own damage value or? also yer im not too farmiliar with git but ive used it in a few projects before (assuming you mean github if not then I probably look like an idiot lol) but yer Ive got experience with Python, and C# primarily so im hoping ill be able to figure it out pretty quickly
austere hawk
no, ammo exploding from penetrations to ammo, based on projectile parameters and so on, fuel burning, crew getting injured based on hitlocations blabla jadda jadda. Propably obsolete once tank dlc comes around
little eagle
Let's hope!
meager heart
amen
lone glade
cough ACE_cookoff cough
worn hatch
oh fair enough. That sounds pretty cool
lone glade
and no commy
austere hawk
mine is better - in terms of potential, because ace needs to work with all vanilla stuff and pre-existing sections. I have custom models where much more is possible
lone glade
currently it's worse on dev branch damage wise
meager heart
X3KJ, did you made any demo videos of your damage system ? i saw something like that... but it was so long time ago, afaik beta times
austere hawk
@meager heart then it must be something else you think of, mine is more recent (but unreleased).
Haven't made detailed presentation of it. You can see the results of it here https://youtu.be/dcH4bzH6Ydk?t=6m16s and at 18:00 and 20:30, but its just the end results for explosion. The more interesting bits, like leaking, fire damage over time of compartments and crew stuff are not shown.
you can read some details here https://www.dropbox.com/s/u91u2qg1i8iok4n/CustomDamageSystem.pdf?dl=0
meager heart
Oh nice models there also is it Warhammer like conversion ? ๐
austere hawk
it is indeed
meager heart
Nice ๐
That system looks interesting...
Other volatile components inside a burning compartment may ignite and burn or explode as well -depending on vehicle setup it is possible to cause chain reactions within multiple compartments
i'm hoping the dlc does the same and more... but i somehow have a feeling that many interesting bits are not implemented, and that its all totally inaccessible and hardcoded ... as with radar in jet dlc...
^yeah that part is crucial for large objects like battleships, or "land battleships"
meager heart
are you sure that is you first project ? lol
austere hawk
When you start with one layer first (explosion) and then gradually add on top it's not difficult. Only thing i was not feeling capable of was to making it compatible with the MP side of things - which is where the guys from IF mod (kju and co) offered help
but currently all on hold waiting for what tank dlc brings

The survivors of Nato and Csat have ONLY the uniform afaik. That is probably the closest you will get...

csat uniforms have increased protection

both, i have custom displays and dialogs
it's for a notification that i wanna make sure is overlayed no matter what, but because we have no decent z-order i wanted to see if i could get the current display when calling the notification function and then recreate the rsc when needed (Or add it to said display)
winter rose
there is a BIS fnc something that creates a display, maybe just creating one is enough (and it will add on top of all the others existing at this time)
why not a simple BIS_fnc_showNotification, would it be hidden?

mine does some additional stuff, plus there's a couple other systems i got too

How would you make barrels of certain type go BOOM when hit by a bullet with CBA events?
I'm trying to make a funny mission.

Idea:

if addon list exists
user can edit if he appears in combined addons list
else
user can edit if he's logged in admin
This way logged in admins are locked out should either addon or mission have a list.
@fossil yew
// init.sqf
["barrel-classname", "Hit", {
// createVehicle a bomb
}] call CBA_fnc_addClassEventHandler;
Like this?
fossil yew
yes. let me find the bomb class... something that's not really big, no jet bombs
little eagle
I think you need to delete the barrel, otherwise it could spawn multiple explosions killing the server due to hitting itself with the explosion.
Hit is a shitty eventhandler for this, because it could appear on any machine (shooter), not the one that owns the barrel.
But idk if HandleDamage works for that object.
fossil yew
makes sense

Nvm, I was thinking of HitPart. Hit is fine.

additionally some thing to allow users in the list AND logged in admin. like just adding the string "loggedInAdmin" into the list together with other playerUID's
That way you have Chris' and my Idea combined in one list

you can either limit that only some admins can edit. Or can specify users that can edit in addition to the admin

He, now that I know the difference between >> and / to navigate configs is the priority of them, I can get rid of even more parenthesis:

new is slower tho
And? It looks nicer though. Benefit outweights the cost, because the speed difference is probably minor.

halcyon crypt
I prefer to be very explicit with my parenthesis to be honest... It's way more clear and you don't have to know whether a command is nular, unary or binary while reading some code ^^
same thing with math
little eagle
Are you saying it's not obvious from context, because you can assume code you look at works (if it causes no problems)?
halcyon crypt
not entirely sure what you mean but yeah I guess so
little eagle
getArray configFile/QGVAR(whitelist)
You say it could be read as:
getArray (configFile/QGVAR(whitelist))
or
(getArray configFile)/QGVAR(whitelist)
I say only one of them makes sense.
halcyon crypt
for example I prefer
mapGridPosition (getPos player)
over
mapGridPosition getPos player
Well, you end up with a lot of parenthesis if you go by this.
halcyon crypt
so with your example I'd go with the getArray (stuff) version
halcyon crypt
I disagree ๐

Way harder on the eyes with this much redundant information.

well _blah doesn't have to be parenthesized though

you can edit them in server settings. But they won't take effect.
One sec gonna read up what I wrote

Yeah, init has 7 args, and one of them is an array with up to 3 sub array potentially depending on the settings type.
still forum
I didn't write that in there :u
config makes it a bit crusty for very small settings though. You'd need a function for every small thing instead of having it inlined
little eagle
Wouldn't it just be enough to put a disclaimer that you need to restart the mission for some setting changes to apply?
Couldn't this , if we want it on a per setting basis, be enough to just put inside the settings tooltip?
still forum
Just like the exclamation mark that the setting is being overwritten
little eagle
So not the tooltip.

people don't really look into the tooltip if they already know what the setting is doing

Well, another exclamation mark may be confusing too.
And using the already existing one for this also, may even be more confusing.

I always had this idea for making a green checkmark for when the setting does apply. Basically the oppsite of the exclamation mark. And maybe that could be yellow for those need-restart-type settings.
still forum
Maybe outside the dialog as soon as you changed a setting that doesn't take life effect. And when you hover over it it says
"you changed settings which will require a mission restart to take effect. <list of settings>"
I don't want the dialog to be filled with useless empty space on every entry for when the warning is not there.
little eagle
The space is there whether or not the exclamation mark is shown.
So could easily also make a checkmark there.

I guess ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ

Maybe positive feedback is reassuring that the setting does take effect. And that would be the ideal place for this disclaimer for need-restart type settings.

You're not talking about the same thing as OPTiX.

But how do those become defined?
inner swallow
Yeah I was too lazy to come up with a proper example
little eagle
Also, in your example, the parenthesis that you missed are obligatory.
So your code is broken and not suited as example.
inner swallow
Aye, which is why i use them by default ๐
little eagle
Yes, everyone should use obligatory parenthesis. That was not my argument.
The example is clearly ambigious. Unary command stacks are not ambigious.
inner swallow
My point was basically that, unless one is completely familiar with how the command precedence/stack works, it's probably safer to use parenthesis than to not, even if not required
little eagle
I discarded the "I missed them once, so put them everywhere" reasoning already.
Maybe you should study basic command precedence. That could help you debug code of others...
inner swallow
From a mission making standpoint, it's a lot of lost time and frustration because you thought "oh hey maybe it's okay to not use them here"
little eagle
Like really basic things, like read from left to right. It's not too much to expect people to know that.
inner swallow
But there's the tradeoff. I have finite time for a hobby. It's not my job, and I don't make mods and stuff. So this is way easier and convenient to just do this ๐คท๐ฝ

Having played other games, especially open world ones... I'd say arma still is quite moddest in bug production
Just the sandbox nature and moddability let's us see deeper behind the veil and notice bugs that we would not know about on other games

tough abyss
The ones I have most issue with are the ones where they did it intentionally to make their DLC work properly and broke the balance of the game otherwise

๐คท๐ผ
tough abyss
Because they refuse to fix them until enough time has passed. They just can't focus on do things properly instead of hacking it together
little eagle
Example?
tough abyss
Introduction of armour broke SP completely. Range of spotting reduced for Apex and again for tactical ops
peak plover
Spotting nerf is weird... shulda made it so setting skill to 1 is mroe than it's now
I like how skyrim / fallout games always have unofficial patches 'tho
tough abyss
It was first reduced dramatically with Apex, and the reason was downright obvious because the AI was spotting players through the undergrowth quite easily and a lot better than a player could do. So they decided to cap the range or it would have broken all their missions.
tough abyss
No they can't see through the leaves, but what they can do is see through genuine gaps and see the magic spot on a human when camo would make that impossible for a human
peak plover
@little eagle write a new life completly from scratch and make millions

lone glade
Make a simple script drawing a line from the AI to the position they "think" you're at

In open ground humans have an advantage, in forests the AI has an advantage just based on the way our eyes work. You can't have similar capabilities for the AI in forests
lone glade
you'll notice very fast they:
- don't see through foliage
- blind fire a lot
- you can break LOS fucking easily
tough abyss
I don't disagree and its not what I said or meant.
lone glade
even through gaps AI can barely spot your ass
tough abyss
But I do think to get an even playing skill the best thing to do is reduce the AI spotting skill and aim in forests due to the closer nature of it.
lone glade
chernarus is the most noticeable for that, you can lay down in some parts of the forest and be practically invisible
tough abyss
BI clearly did exactly that and for the same reason both for Apex and Tactical ops so that now if you aren't playing either their spotting distance is hard capped at a ridiculously low number.
I am sure they will undo a bit of it in a patch or two, probably for tanks because the low value wont work for that DLC ironically!
I just wish they didn't do that, change the balance of the game overall for the purpose of making their DLC work. Its frustrating to say the least.
peak plover
Yeah. The issue is @lone glade if you don't run a script that reveals spotted enemies to other groups around. They can't see past a certain distance anymore. And players can easily see. But @tough abyss uses right mouse button zoom. So he has a huge advantage in long range, cuz right mouse button zoom is 3 (according to call CBA_fnc_getFov)
3x zoom, for free... I hate right mouse button zoom
I play without zooming ... so having a scope is a huge difference
THere's a mod VTN, that disables it and there's config edits people have done to disable it as well
tough abyss
I fully expect the range to be massively extended for tanks DLC because you can't have tanks being limited to 300m spotting each other it will be ridiculous.
tough abyss
I quite like the idea of no zoom, we play mostly without scopes to bring ranges down to realistic levels with appropriate accuracy too
tough abyss
I take it you mean this mod: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=31127&highlight=VTN ?
tough abyss
Is there one without pistol accuracy changes? (What does it change about pistols?)
peak plover
@wraith cloud It's stupid. If Squad can do it arma can as well. And people who defend it saying u can see better IRL. No you can't... try spotting someone from 300 m away... then try in arma with rmb zoom...
little eagle
I think the FOV for RMB zoom is 0.25 and default is 0.75 on foot.
So yeah, 3 times magnification.
lone glade
weapon accuracy is their dispersion cone in milirads
little eagle
Yep. They used the zoomed in FOV as 1x.
peak plover
In description RCO says magnification 2x... I guess it means 2x max rmb zoom

"ace_clipboard" callExtension ([" HEARING(", (_headgearArray select _index),");",endl] joinString "");
};
"ace_clipboard" callExtension "--COMPLETE--";
};
Because a certain mod maker couldn't inherit properly.
tough abyss
I think its too strong currently, but at the same time we can still spot further than the AI without it.
little eagle
And 0.25 already is quite zoomed in, so they had to choose to make their optics only be 2x technically.
peak plover
and I can kill shit up to ~300 ez... That means with an rifle, in a3. you'd never need a scope
little eagle
If you now make e.g. Bundeswehr optics with 4x zoom, they feel akward.

@censored , After a few hours of testing, googling , finally I found the solution, It looks like ace_server.pbo is not needed anymore and ace server side settings are integarted into cba settings. Why it is not clearly written in readme text IDK. What you need is just "cba_settings.sqf" file in the "ARMA3\userconfig" folder. Just copy your ace settings from serverconfig.hpp file and paste it to newly created "cba_settings.sqf" file. It wokrs for me and I hope it will work for you. Just check your server rpt file, you should have line like this:
[CBA] (settings) INFO: Userconfig: File [userconfig\cba_settings.sqf] loaded successfully.

Yes, MRCO is the same. 6x zoom from the default.

It would make the game better imo.

Unrealistic long ranges for everything is one of Arma's bigger problems

I feel like arma 3 ranges are one of the best in gaming

If they are the best, why change them?
peak plover
No
Zooming is bad
Distances scale well
Mountains and hills feel realistic compared to Ghost Recon Wildlands
Which feels like it's comprassed the size of the map, but kept the height of the map
tough abyss
The odd thing about Arma is the terrain feels good but actually its pretty compressed as well compared to real life

@still forum can intrecept remove RMB zoom in a easier way than editing 1000s config entries?
little eagle
Yes, let's offload all the shitty tasks to Dedmen. I approve.
peak plover
I actually think that's got the potential to be the easiest fix
tough abyss
Changing all the zoom all at once in a simple script so we can rebalance everything would be great. Probably not possible though
little eagle
Not with SQF.
A script to generate the needed config would be good enough for now though.
still forum
@peak plover it can edit the config entries for you

if (_zoom > 1) then {_zoom = ((_zoom / 1.5) max 1)};```
There did it
