Well, "of cause" is valid. But it means something completely different than "of course"

still forum Feb 23, 2018, 12:38 PM

of cause translates to something like "for a good reason"
And of course translates to "for sure" or "certainly" or "naturally" or "obviously"

do all classes have the custom info panel? eg:

            componentType = "CustomDisplayComponent";
            resource = "RscCustomInfoMyCustomRadModule";

if not, is there a configless, script way to add custom display pip for player and show a cam object on it?

so i have a trigger with the spawn BIS_fnc_spawngroup function, if i place

@pseudo cypress Well you better contact that addon community, since you could mistake a vehicle classname, or whatever happens in that scripts.

@fading burrow Pasting a SQL query especially without markdown is quite not helpful, but you actually set CharacterID = 0 for anything that has that not at 0 value and doesn't look like those classnames parts listed after WHERE statement. That seems like to be a Arma 2: DayZ Epoch database? As I remember CharacterID was a field for a password values of a safes, not the keys of vehicles.

Hey gus, whats the difference between having a jet places as object ingame and creating it via via createvehicle? Does arma internally create the static vehicles as simple objects or are there any antimations executed to make things like no tires, closed cockpit etc possible

vehicles spawned with createvehicle are just like those normally placed in 3den

well the jet is not started in editor, ingame its at full engine speed without anyone flying it ...

pretty obscure behavior

Does it have to to with enablesimulation?

Local to the client where it is created? I dont think thats worth mentioning when the context is the mentioned above.

And if i had to guess, yea, playing with enableSimulation might result in wierd behaviour

KeyUp could never block. KeyDown can block, but this won't prevent binds like 2x_Key_ or Hold Key.

little eagle Feb 23, 2018, 11:26 PM

#

The really strange thing is that each grenade type is a different muzzle of the Throw weapon (hands).

#

Which is why changing from frags to smokes is faster than taking the next frag right after you threw one.

okay using your 'array' as the example, to get 5 to 10

array select [5,6] //returns [5,6,7,8,9,10]
array select [5,5] //returns [5,6,7,8,9]
array select [1,99] //returns [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]

oh right you are, got my indices mixed up

astral tendon Feb 24, 2018, 4:23 AM

array select [start, count]

the count only counts AFTER the start?

You have two lines who were the same previously. Now they are different.

Or is the solution to fix the typo you made in the second line?

Hello, I'm quite unexperienced in scripting with sqf and would like to know how to remove the ammunition of the car the player is currently sitting in (e.g. an armed ifrit).

Thanks, but its not working as it should do.. It's working fine if I'm switching to the gunner's seat without exiting the vehicle but if I'm accessing the gunner's seat from the outside it's always empty and the ammo is still full if I'm switching to the gunner's seat without exiting the vehicle inside of the safezone. Should I paste the whole code, so you could better understand what i'm trying to achieve (and maybe what isn't working)?

unborn ether Feb 25, 2018, 4:31 AM

@ViRazY#0594 Oh i forgot thats AL. Well you need to remoteExec this to a vehicle owner, because only owner can actually remove the ammo.

Do I need to do something specific with your piece of code or is it something in the initialization of the script? As I said before: Im quite unexperienced and the wiki page of "remoteExec" kind of confuses me even more with these 10 different examples. I'm sorry for these dumb questions I guess

for context here is the code

this disableAI "move";
this addEventHandler ["HandleDamage",{0}];
this addMPEventHandler ["MPHit",{
systemChat format ["select 0 %1",_this select 0 ];
systemChat format ["select 1 %1",_this select 1 ];
systemChat format ["select 2 %1",_this select 2 ];
systemChat format ["select 3 %1",_this select 3 ];
systemChat format ["select 4 %1",_this select 4 ];

select 0 is returing the name of the unit
select 1 the player
select 2 the damage
select 3 the player
select 4 <null>

you can make color fade out... so text is still there but becomes transparent when conditions meet... something like

if (<condition>) then {
    _color set [3, 1 - _fadeOut];

Well actually that's possible, but that's gonna be retarded. You need to create some invisible helper object on interaction and probably setVariable of its position and switch drawing to its position, by reading variable from the house you just set to understand its there.

And its kinda enough to just createSimpleObject so it will not spam packets.

Trying to get Zeus aka Curator to work on first player spawn (currently, it works only after respawn)

Here is what happening during first player spawn (after joining the server through lobby):
Player assigned to unit in the slot -> Player requests auth from Serverside -> Serverside checks UID and Name, then sends Player data (gear, pos, dmg, etc.) -> Player recieved data, set gear, pos, etc., auth end. (Sadly, after this procedure player still have original unit name)

Respawns are handled by default Arma disposal manager, with respawn points set through mission description.ext

And you set the isOnDelivery variable to true? Or to false or did you not define it?

#

You can check it's current value in the debug console

tough abyss Feb 27, 2018, 8:38 AM

it's set to false

#

and i need it to be true when addAction is activated

still forum Feb 27, 2018, 8:39 AM

Then you have to invert the condition using !

that works but it's still false

Hello everyone I am having a little problem, I am trying to get all the coords of the 50 Km/h speed sign on altis using this command copyToClipboard str ((nearestobjects [player,["Land_SignRestrict_01_speedLimit_50_F"], 2500000]) apply {getPosWorld _x}); however its not copying anything it just gives me "[]" when I use a building classname instead it works fine

still forum Feb 27, 2018, 9:58 AM

#

Yes. And what's the problem?

dry owl Feb 27, 2018, 9:58 AM

#

@still forum just edited the text sorry about that

still forum Feb 27, 2018, 10:00 AM

#

Are you sure the classname is correct?
If you walk up to a sign and check typeOf cursorTarget or typeOf cursorObject?

dry owl Feb 27, 2018, 10:03 AM

#

@still forum one sec

#

@still forum its returning empty as in no classname?

still forum Feb 27, 2018, 10:10 AM

#

Yeah.. That's what I feared. It might be a terrain object

dry owl Feb 27, 2018, 10:11 AM

#

Then why can I spawn it in though :/

still forum Feb 27, 2018, 10:11 AM

#

try nearestTerrainObjects with like a 10m radius while standing next to the sign and see if it returns it

#

You can spawn it in because you spawn it as normal object. On the map it's a terrain object though

That returns the objects. So you can iterate over them and call getWorldPos

#

but you might have to do the filtering by yourself

dry owl Feb 27, 2018, 10:13 AM

okie fuck but I could specify "empty" as its class name is categorized under empty?

nearestTerrainObjects [player, [], 5] in the brackets can I not specify what type?

Type yes

noob scripter here .. which file do I execute code in to only initialize it after MP players are in 3D? I'd like to allow them to place map markers during the briefing phase, but once the game starts, ability to place the double click map markers should be disabled / not shared with anyone else

I've gotten the code to work in initPlayerLocal.sqf, but it's already disabled markers during briefing as well

halcyon crypt Feb 27, 2018, 12:54 PM

halcyon crypt Feb 27, 2018, 1:10 PM

@sick sorrel you'll have to wait until the player object equals player I guess

something like waitUntil { player == player };

Why are you using then before an exitwith?

tough abyss Feb 27, 2018, 4:41 PM

#

hm good point

#

If you use an if exitWith, it will evalute the code segment in the exitWith regardless if it executes that branch of code etc

#

Personnal just avoid using if exitWith, not really gonna help with performance enough and chances are you will make a mistake

#

private ["_base","_base_stat","_module"];

_base = getMarkerPos "BLUF_1";

while {true} do {
    _base_stat = FALSE;

    {
     if (_x distance2D _base > 1500) exitWith { 
        _module = ["ALIVE_SYS_PROFILE","ALIVE_MIL_OPCOM","ALIVE_AMB_CIV_POPULATION","ALIVE_MIL_LOGISTICS","ALIVE_SYS_AISKILL"] call ALiVE_fnc_unPauseModule; _base_stat = TRUE; };

    if(!_base_stat) then {

    };
