I wonder what that means. If I define a local variable with the same name as a global one. And then try to access the global one.
Does it return the local one first?

little eagle Feb 14, 2018, 2:48 PM

Sure, but why, Adanteh?

How to prove that this is a local variable?

It uses the engine function to set local variables. That's the only proof I have

if you put that into a trigger

#

Why trigger?

still forum Feb 14, 2018, 2:53 PM

if this is not defined

#

you will create a global variable and it will just use that

#

I think I get what you mean.

#

Why a trigger though?

#

Why not the spawn?

still forum Feb 14, 2018, 2:54 PM

#

because triggers define the variables

#

I guess unit init too

#

and because spawn doesn't carry over local variables

little eagle Feb 14, 2018, 2:54 PM

#

call {
    this = 1;

in what? unit init or trigger?

#

I only checked thisTrigger which is next to this but only in triggers

little eagle Feb 14, 2018, 2:56 PM

#

LOCAL EXEC

still forum Feb 14, 2018, 2:56 PM

#

this in unit init is a global variable

#

local exec?

#

You don't understand at all what I'm saying then

#

in trigger scripts. this, thisList, thisTrigger are local variables

#

You obviously can't check that in debug console or unit init as these are completly different things

little eagle Feb 14, 2018, 2:57 PM

#

Oh, so this only applies to triggers. rgr

#

I put this into my avatars init box:

diag_log str [0,this];
call { 
    this = "test";
    diag_log str [1,this]; 
}; 
diag_log str [2,this];

#

Gave me:

15:57:18 "[0,B Alpha 1-1:1 (commy2)]"
15:57:18 "[1,B Alpha 1-1:1 (commy2)]"
15:57:18 "[2,B Alpha 1-1:1 (commy2)]"

they are not reserved

They are just global variables, set by the engine at mission init

#

I think I misread the whole thing then. So how is any of this new?

still forum Feb 14, 2018, 3:01 PM

#

Dunno. New to me. I didn't know that local variables without leading _ were possible

#

Oh... Idea..

little eagle Feb 14, 2018, 3:02 PM

#

It's probably made so they delete themselves.

still forum Feb 14, 2018, 3:02 PM

#

It doesn't throw an error if you set them. Because the = operator handles it like a global variable

#

but the SQF instruction that get's the variable can see it being a local one

#

so when you set it, you set the global one. When you read it, you read the local one

#

wait.. Didn't we talk about that when I found the forceLocal flag?

little eagle Feb 14, 2018, 3:03 PM

#

So they are local variables inside the init box too.

#

Because that would explain it.

#

b_ficusc2d_f.p3d is just a STRING that misses quote marks.

#

Therefore errors.

shadow sapphire Feb 14, 2018, 4:04 PM

Error, generic error in expression, now.

#

_modelInfo = getModelInfo "b_ficusc2d_f.p3d"; Generic error in expression.

little eagle Feb 14, 2018, 4:08 PM

#

Yes, because getModelInfo needs an OBJECT, and "b_ficusc2d_f.p3d" is a STRING.

shadow sapphire Feb 14, 2018, 4:09 PM

#

Oh, sorry. I thought your phrasing indicated that adding quotes made it an object, haha.

#

Hm.

little eagle Feb 14, 2018, 4:10 PM

#

No, but it makes it a proper STRING, so at least resembles SQF. It's still wrong though.

shadow sapphire Feb 14, 2018, 4:10 PM

#

I see. Any ideas how I get the information I need about this p3d?

little eagle Feb 14, 2018, 4:10 PM

#

What information?

shadow sapphire Feb 14, 2018, 4:11 PM

#

I need the model path.

little eagle Feb 14, 2018, 4:11 PM

#

You can't get the model path from a model name obviously, as there can be multiple models with the same name in different paths.

shadow sapphire Feb 14, 2018, 4:11 PM

#

Interesting.

#

Also, that's not obvious...

little eagle Feb 14, 2018, 4:12 PM

#

This is coming from someone that didn't use computers until 12 yo.

shadow sapphire Feb 14, 2018, 4:13 PM

#

Doesn't matter. Obvious means a specific thing, and that's not it. I don't want to argue with you, because I respect and admire you and all of the help you give to me and everyone else, but that's definitively not obvious.

little eagle Feb 14, 2018, 4:13 PM

I already understood, the moment you pointed it out, but if you have to point it out, it's not obvious.

#

It should be obvious to anyone that used a computer for a few years though.

#

It's like the first thing I tried when messing around with win98.

#

Tried to break it.

shadow sapphire Feb 14, 2018, 4:17 PM

#

Why? If you are looking for the path of an object, it doesn't matter how many of those objects exist in whatever directories, THAT file or whatever has only one path. Different copies have different properties (paths, anyway).

austere granite Feb 14, 2018, 4:18 PM

#

Moving on! 😄

little eagle Feb 14, 2018, 4:18 PM

#

You're looking for the path of a filename, not of an object.

#

Guess you could search all files by name and then get all the files that match this name including their paths. But that is not something SQF can do.

shadow sapphire Feb 14, 2018, 4:19 PM

#

Well, if it's based on something like cursortarget, that specific object should only have one directory with its filename, right? Or no?

little eagle Feb 14, 2018, 4:20 PM

#

Yes, that is why it works with OBJECT, but not with filenames.

#

OBJECT's know their models path. Name and folders.

#

If you don't provide an OBJECT, you don't know the models path. If you only provide a filename, it could be in any folder.

#

Because a model path is filename plus folders.

shadow sapphire Feb 14, 2018, 4:23 PM

#

Got it. The problem is that certain map objects don't seem to be detected by cursor targets.

Whatever the case, I got the information I needed a bit ago by dropping the p3d name into the search bar on the biki.

little eagle Feb 14, 2018, 4:23 PM

#

Try cursorObject.

#

How did you even get the model's filename in the first place, but not the whole model path? 🤔

shadow sapphire Feb 14, 2018, 4:25 PM

#

I used nearestTerrainObjects [player, [], 10] while standing next to the tree I wanted to identify.

little eagle Feb 14, 2018, 4:25 PM

#

Omg, then you already had the OBJECT.

shadow sapphire Feb 14, 2018, 4:25 PM

#

It still wasn't returning the model path.

little eagle Feb 14, 2018, 4:25 PM

#

nearestTerrainObjects [player, [], 10] apply {getModelInfo _x}

#

There, done.

shadow sapphire Feb 14, 2018, 4:25 PM

#

Or that it's a simpleobject of sorts?

shadow sapphire Feb 14, 2018, 4:38 PM

#

What does this do?

half inlet Feb 14, 2018, 4:39 PM

#

code in init fields must not return anything - if they do return something, you get the error that you posted above

shadow sapphire Feb 14, 2018, 4:39 PM

#

I'm going to make a note of that.

half inlet Feb 14, 2018, 4:40 PM

#

spawn returns a script handler

#

but if you asssign something to the spawn, you basically "catch" the returned value

subtle ore Feb 14, 2018, 4:41 PM

#

Doesn't make any sense, why wouldn't they be able to return anything without error?

half inlet Feb 14, 2018, 4:41 PM

#

that way the init field returns nothing as a whole, thus the error disappears and the world is just a little happier again

little eagle Feb 14, 2018, 4:41 PM

#

It doesn't make any sense indeed, but it is how it is.

shadow sapphire Feb 14, 2018, 4:42 PM

What bug does the 0 = 0 spawn cause?

little eagle Feb 14, 2018, 4:47 PM

#

Just pass this as argument inside your spawn block and then use _this in there instead.

#

0 = 0 spawn
doesn't cause any bugs.

#

Your code wouldn't work anyway. Because this is undefined in your CODE block behind the spawn command.

#

This is why you have to pass is a argument to that block.

half inlet Feb 14, 2018, 4:49 PM

if you use spawn, you have to use _this because then you're no longer in the scope of the init field, but rather of the spawn

as soon as you spawn you create a different/new script though

little eagle Feb 14, 2018, 4:49 PM

#

Yeah, "script instance", not "scope".

#

It is a different scope because it is a different script instance, but local variables do carry over to child scopes.

#

So it doesn't work not because it is a different scope, but a different script instance.

Hey guys. I want to execute a query on my database when the server start. It will return an array like this, ["name1","name2","name3"]
i want this array to be accessible by players to make some check, if "word1" in array ["name1","name2","name3"] then blablabla
do you know whats the best solution ?

send the array to the players.

Dunno about the database part, but store it in a global variable and then send that to everyone using publicVariable.

ruby breach Feb 14, 2018, 6:02 PM

#

Alternatively, if the array is too large for you to want to broadcast to all players, store it as a server global variable, and write a function that uses a param to query the array and pass back only the returned element to the player

Hey,i have a small scripting issue that i cant figure out. This is how the vvs is called trough an action and im trying to call it in a trigger.
this addAction["Request a Car",VVS_fnc_openVVS,["vvs_car","Car"]];
Im trying to call it like this:
["vvs_car","Car"] call VVS_fnc_openVVS;
But the arguments dont seem to get passed. What am i doing wrong?

ruby breach Feb 14, 2018, 6:06 PM

#

addAction always passes params as _this select 3

still forum Feb 14, 2018, 6:06 PM

#

Also passing a big function is not optimal as addAction converts it to a string and recompiles it everytime you use it

#

this addAction["Request a Car",{["vvs_car","Car"] call VVS_fnc_openVVS; }];
Just do that

ruby breach Feb 14, 2018, 6:09 PM

#

The alternative would be to change your trigger to ```sqf
[nil,nil,nil,["vvs_car","Car"]] call VVS_fnc_openVVS;

#

Be sure to tweak your fn_openVVS function's params to accept the new addAction parameters (i.e, _this select 0, 1 vs _this select 3 select 0, 1)

I know this is probably an exceptionally simple thing, but I've looked and looked and can't seem to find out how to do a timed action. Like a scripted repair or something where there player does an animation for a few seconds then whatever happens. Like ACE treatment or Repairing vehicles in KOTH.

I've been able to get people to animate, but it's usually pretty rough, and is only client side.

little eagle Feb 14, 2018, 6:16 PM

#

I wouldn't call it a simple thing. You first need an interaction menu, then a progress bar, something that handles the animation, and a callback for when the progress bar finished or was aborted by e.g. you dying.

kindred lichen Feb 14, 2018, 6:19 PM

I pulled this out of a script I did like 3 years ago.

#

Basically I set the animation, then after 10s checked if the player was still animating, if so, I added a "progress" tick to the job.

#

Then after a minute, or so they'd have enough progress and it would complete.

#

but The animations didn't synch for multiplayer.

#

so the player saw them doing stuff, but everyone else just saw them staring at the box.

#

Guess the complexity depends on what you want to handle

#

// this does not check: target fell unconscious, target died, target moved inside vehicle / left vehicle, target moved outside of players range, target moves at all.

Lot's of things that can go wrong on a delayed action.

So you're saying that finishing the wheel repair when you go incapped is not intended behaviour?

Not talking about your script.. just the type of stuff people usually forget 😄

little eagle Feb 14, 2018, 6:24 PM

Thought _condition handles this, because it's appended by canInteractWith, which has the common condition isNotUnconscious, which repair should not have an exception for.

#

You see? I was paying attention when I made this for AGM. And it was a bitch.

can anybody tell me whats wrong with this. its in a trigger to move a marker close to an object. "cachemarker1" setMarkerPos [getPos car, random 350, random 360] call BIS_fnc_relPos;

it says, Error type array, expected number

getpos car drops an array into the first parameter

which is expecting a single number I suppose
