instead use pushBack to push the groupleaders to some array

hey, is there a way to have items created from a script inserted into a container created from another script. (e.g. you build a base spawning a container, you can but sand bags which go into said container by the flag which was also spawned upon making the base)
still forum
Yes.
put the container into a global variable. And then use that in the script that adds the items
broken forge
okay, so : "Box" addItem "edn_sandbag"; ? where box is the global variable
still forum
Box without the quotes. Otherwise it's a string. Not a variable

okay

Well..
put the container into a global variable

ah got it now, i also had to use square brackets (Box addItemCargo ["edn_sandbag",1];)
also, will i be able to spawn a group of units at a random position from a certain distance away on the ground with a waypoint set to a position which they will move to?

random [0,5,10] >= 5
Is this give me a 50% of chance of being true or false?
neon snow
OK, so I 've been trying to think how to do this for long time now and I came up with nothing. I need to translate global position of vehicle to simple screen(defined in class MFD but that is not important). Is there a way, to somehow convert X and Y of each vehicle, in relation to my position AND direction? I also need to have output of two values x and y so I can use it in class mfd to draw geometries. Basicly, I need to get a top down view of surrounding vehicle, in relation to my position and direction, so for example if a vehicle is directly in front of me, the output X would be 0 and Y the distance from me? Picture for reference: https://imgur.com/4CC5rWB
errant jasper
@astral tendon Yes... But only if second number is exactly the average of the min and max, and what you are comparing against is also that number, which happens to be in your case. So for example: random [0, 5, 10] >= 7 would not be true 30% of the time, but if you do random 10 >= 7 it would be 30% of the time, although I prefer writing it like 30 < random 100.

Thanks
im using the Alternative Syntax, is there other way i can put the special like the CAN_COLLIDE?

no, you should use the first syntax
you an set skill using other commands, and init is just more code anyways

you are using an SQF command, so you are using SQF, just create the unit using normal syntax, which returns the created unit object, then do what you want on that

@little eagle Right now I'm just storing the dialog in a global variable, I imagine it's a similar effect? Overall what I'm trying to do is to remake the arma 3 action menu. Is cutRsc the wrong command to use to display a dialog that needs to be interacted with while open?
little eagle
The effect is the same, but the game complains about if you store a display inside a mission namespace variable. Therefore you should probably use a ui namespace variable.
Is cutRsc the wrong command to use to display a dialog that needs to be interacted with while open?
You don't have a cursor if you use cutRsc, because your display will be created as a subdisplay of the mission display.
But you need a dialog for a cursor, so createDialog.
river meteor
I don't intend to have a cursor. I'm trying to emulate the arma 3 action menu and basically just make it look nicer. I was going to use event handlers and selection commands to do the selection and "clicking" of an action item
little eagle
Don't know what you mean by "interacted with" then.
You can easily add e.g. scroll wheel eventhandlers to the mission display and modify your display that way. If that is what you mean.
river meteor
Yes that is what I mean. I just don't know why my lbAdd isn't showing up even though when I hint lbSize it's reporting an extra element as if it was correct
I seriously doubt it's something to do with my display being bad like text size too small or something similar to that
little eagle
I've never seen listboxes used in displays that are not dialogs. It might not work.
You're supposed to click on them with the mouse cursor.
river meteor
Do you have a control in mind that would fit for what I'm trying to do?
little eagle
Multiline rsc text.
Or multiple rsc text.
Maybe structured text multiline.
I think they all are multiline, so just RscStructuredText.
That way you can easily highlight the selected item. And do interesting stuff like different colored text and fonts.
river meteor
I'll try a different control, thanks for the advice.
fossil yew
So you want to create a "game mode" that could be portable to different maps but you don't want code to repeat (naturally). What do you do? Put all the common code in a mod? Trouble is, the code is not meaningful outside context of the mission(s) and not very useful as mod for anything else.
Can this be structured some other way?
little eagle
Put all your files into a folder. Then to include your scripts into a different mission you only have to edit the description.ext, mainly CfgFunctions.

distance where the sound is audible :D
It's the fade distance.
and CurveDistanceScaler is distance and minimum 1.
See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/microsoft.directx_sdk.x3daudio.x3daudio_emitter(v=vs.85).aspx
I guess that doesn't help you much. And I have nooo Idea.
Oh wait
pVolumeCurve
default curve that conforms to the inverse square law, such that when distance is between 0.0f and CurveDistanceScaler × 1.0f, no attenuation is applied. When distance is greater than CurveDistanceScaler × 1.0f, the amplification factor is (CurveDistanceScaler × 1.0f)/distance. At a distance of CurveDistanceScaler × 2.0f, the sound will be at half volume or -6 dB, at a distance of CurveDistanceScaler × 4.0f, the sound will be at one quarter volume or -12 dB, and so on.
There.
CurveDistanceScaler == distance
So from center out to distance you will have 100% volume.
At 2*distance you have 50%. At 4*distance you'll have 25%
meager heart
afaik with playSound3D sound volume start to fade out at about ~ 50 meters from source, even if set to no max distance

replaceWithSimpleObject is a bad choice anyway
as you could just directly spawn the simple object.

Correct
strange urchin
@neon snow
getRelDir probably checks the relative direction as it is using only the object's model as a reference, rather than the world
I would try calculating relative direction by taking the first object's direction, then taking the direction from the first object to the second and subtracting the two numbers.
It's nice to know that that's how they do it, though. I'd imagine that it would be useful to have it the way it is for some people.

yesover the network
you will flood the network

lone glade
otherwise i'll have to use a fucking while loop.
sinful sky
cant you just have a repetable trigger with a 5 min delay
lone glade
yes, and also it's stupid
lone glade
there:
[] spawn {
while {true} do {
private _vehicle = createVehicle ["edn_Box_Materials", [random [0, worldSize / 2, worldSize], random [0, worldSize / 2, worldSize], 200], [], 0, "NONE"];
sleep 300;
};
};
so that just picks a random spot anywhere on the map?
lone glade
yes
just be aware that the longer the mission will run the less precise the "timer" will be due to how the scheduler works
broken forge
is it able to create a popup saying when an airdrop is imbound our have a mission marker on it?
lone glade
absolutely not
lone glade
yes it's possible, no I won't do it for him
lone glade
just put it in a var if you want to
sinful sky
well, i wouldn't have don't it like that because i don't know enough
not sure where to put the Var name for the object
well id love to help but without knowing how to name the random location or the object i don't now how to get the location of the drop
lone glade
... wow
sinful sky
O so smart are we...
lone glade
see the array after the first string?
that's the "random location that's totes impossible to put in a var"
put it in a local var and use said var instead the the array there
aka private _mySuperVar = contentOfTheVar;

@lone glade for that script you made do i still need to link it to a trigger with repeat at 300 seconds or does it automatically repeat
lone glade
it automatically repeats, that's what the sleep is there for, HOWEVER, due to how the scheduler works the timer will become less precise over time

okay, thats fine
and thanks btw
also when i create the mission intel popup for when i is dropping how to i make the mission icons position stay following the airdrop
like when using the intel tab in the eden editor to set the position of the module to the drop

I had to turn an array into a string, to set as data on a listbox, then when pulling it back out, with call compile it was trying to turn my strings into variables xD

just have to make sure the strings are strings,
and then those strings are string.

There is a distinct difference between functional, and fine
wary vine
private _formattedArr = format ["[%1,%2]",str _itemClassname,str (_arr select 1)];
xD
lone glade
save the array in the control namespace / dialog namespace using the classname or whatever you have as text as varname
then when you want your array you retrieve the classname / text and use getVar
wary vine
If your using the control as namespace, couldnt you use the index as the varName ? then it would be easier to overwrite ?
lone glade
suit yourself
but in my case that wasn't a valid solution because I modify the indexes
deleting an element of the list / adding one would break it
wary vine
Yeah, I see what you mean, but with mine , you may have multiple lines with the same classname

For one. Your private in there is completly useless

how can i then make sure only falling damage is negated?

well source empty already seems logical
I would try to use that
@muted sand Can't.
muted sand
oh damn ok
was hoping to make a script for scavanging items from certain trees, bushes ect...
still forum
You can hide the building. And manuall spawn exactly the same building at the same position.
That one you could move then
You mean you want a action on that object? like a scroll wheel action?
muted sand
yes sorry worded that completely wrong hha
still forum
You can add actions to most buildings/map objects via config
but if they don't have a config class.. Like trees/bushes. You can't.
lusty canyon
thanks d it works now
muted sand
hmm alrighty so no trees or bushes have config classes?
still forum
You can make an action that's always visible. If the player uses that check if he is looking at a bush/tree. If so use that. Otherwise tell him there is nothing to scavenge from
I don't know of any... In theory it's possible to make them be config classes and make maps with these
but never seen anyone do that
lusty canyon
you can addaction with sqf too https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addAction
muted sand
Yea ok
still forum
@lusty canyon To terrain objects?
muted sand
hmmm ok good info, i dont suppose theres any examples out there you guys know of?

how about attaching an invis object that has the addaction to the simple object you want?

Oh true

Yeah. You could attach invisible objects to every bush/tree
lusty canyon
performance will get wrecked tho?
muted sand
jayTAC maybe but I am pretty much noob so yea 😃
still forum
performance will probably get wrecked
lusty canyon
cant make the addaction conditional too complex since its checked every frame unscheduled
muted sand
lol yea dont want that then, what if the item we added an action to was placed by editor so not a simple object would that work?
still forum
yeah
any editor placed object works
But as I said you can make a action that's always available. Or with CBA even a hotkey.
When used it will check if there is something to scavenge
muted sand
Aha nice could make a few areas around map then that people could gather things
still forum
then you can also check if user is looking at terrain objects like trees/bushes without having to place anything on the map
muted sand
Ok nice
still forum
And that would also allow players to gather anywhere
muted sand
hmm alrighty guess will just have to try some stuff and see what happens, much appreciate your time!
ruby breach
@muted sand Could use an addAction coupled with something like str(cursorObject) find "neriumo2d" > -1 as a condition.
muted sand
Ok is that based on editor placed objects?
muted sand
ok cool just so i know
little eagle
Actions added to the player are evaluated every frame regardless of you using the scrollwheel.
muted sand
so its always on wheel and then have it so only if it finds a specific object it will allow the player to scavenge?
little eagle
No, every frame regardles of the scrollwheel.
muted sand
ok
I didnt think it would be as complicated as regards to gethering items from objects 😄
ruby breach
Pretty sure the workaround most life servers use is something to push the actions back into a list and then add on mousewheeldown / remove on keydown, click, etc, etc
muted sand
yea probably, will work it out im just new to this sorta stuff
yea well will give it a bash, if i get it working will let you know! Cheers

@lone glade does this script spawn in the box aswell, because i use it and it creates the marker but not the crate
while {true} do {
_vehicle = createVehicle ["edn_Box_Materials", [random [0, worldSize / 2, worldSize], random [0, worldSize / 2, worldSize], 200], [], 0, "NONE"];
_markerad = createMarker ["Air Drop", position _vehicle];
_markerad setMarkerType "hd_dot";

ah

The marker name is not unique. Only one marker will be created.

so

Doubt it will be fifteen zeroes, as floats are not that accurate above 1e7.

know number of decimals in number?
You mean digits?

number of digits after comma

Ah yes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithm
floor (log10 (abs (x))) + 1
That was the formula I meant
decimal places then... Eh.. That question is... wrong
If you print the number with 10 decimal places then it will have 10 decimal places
If you print it with 1 then it will have 1
Theoretically any number has infinite decimal places. With most of them being 0 though
little eagle
1e15 has zero digits after the decimal point. I don't understand the question.

if i have 3 it will return me 0

There is no real way.. Besides rounding to 1 decimal digit and checking if it's equal the original number. If not, try two and so on
till it matches
that way you get the shorted possible, exact representation

Some people are still using sqs

I'm still surprised you cannot delete single items in cargo since the beginnings of sqf
For several years now
lone glade
You can.
lone glade
nope
little eagle
You can't.
shut flower
how would you do it @lone glade ?
lone glade
holy shit, you can't O.o
shut flower
waited for this reaction 😛

intercept has the main problem that is is a mod
still forum
but you can't choose which exact item as item ID's... eh... Technically don't... Eh.. Theoretically.. eh... ... Item ID's don't exist.
Noo
I can't make it in Intercept 😄
well.. I could.. But no
shut flower
just hack this stuff into the main assembly and hack into BIs servers and put it there
ah, you mean you make a script command you send to BI that would never get added?
because reasons?

How can i detach a helicopter from a landing platform without the helicopter bouncing so it doesn't blows up?
shut flower
then I need this script command badly
still forum
I don't even know what "detach" means
a helicopter is usually not bolted to it's landing platform
ornate pawn
i have an attach script that attaches the helicopter to the landing platform
lone glade
move the "attach" point higher
still forum
attach it. Move it up by half a meter. And... It will bounce back down but...
Maybe explode less
ornate pawn
but when i detach the helicopter nothing happens the helicopter lands on the landing platform perfectly but when a friend does it the helicopter starts bouncing and then blows up
shut flower
just a tiny explosion instead of a huge one
ornate pawn
move the "attach" point higher. I did

do i need to add a remoteExc to the detaching script too?
inner swallow
check the wiki, if effect is local then yes
little eagle
detach has global effects
ornate pawn
here's the whole script.
little eagle
But it may have to be executed on the same machine that used attachTo. At least that is what I'd guess.

nah, detach is AG EG

when i detach the helicopter from the landing platform the helicopter lands perfect on the landing platform
little eagle
Not according to the wiki: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/detach
ornate pawn
when my friends detaches the helicopter the helicopter starts bouncing
even if he does the whole process of attaching and detaching
everything else works perfect
lone glade
where on this page does it say AL EG commy? HONHONHONHON
little eagle
I think this solution to this is to set the position of the helicopter slightly above the groud. Like 10 cm. Then it drops and doesn't collide with the ground as violently as when released inside it.
little eagle
It says AG EG.
lone glade
okay, try this:
[LB_1] remoteExec ["detach", LB_1]

Can only repeat myself.

I want to finish this so i can release it on workshop I already have some stuff in my workshop if you guys wanna check it out.
okay @lone glade
i did set the helicopter like 12" above the landing platform

That was also the name of the CC Generals mission they had to censor, because the task was to gas 300 civilians.

It's a variable name, and arbitrary.
still forum
_unit doesn't mean anything besides that it's a local variable with the name _unit
edgy dune
so nothings assinged to it then by default?
little eagle
By default all variables are undefined.
still forum
depends on your meaning of default
still forum
If your script is called from a nother script that has a _unit variable.. Then it's usually assigned to something.
edgy dune
ah cool thx
still forum
There are no variables that are assigned to something by default
There are a few that are, depending on where, when and what.

how would one set a waypoint for a group of units spawned by script

does anyone know what's wrong with this?
_wp =_groupalpha addWaypoint [getmarkerposHQ,0];```yes
addWeapon doesn't return a number
and it's missing the left parameter
And the getmarkerposHQ variable is undefined
little eagle
NOTE: THIS SYNTAX RETURNS NO UNIT REFERENCE!
For starters.
No argument on the left hand side of addWeapon.
Too many args in the array of createUnit, though you probably want the other syntax anyway.
corporal is supposed to be a string. Currently it's an undefined variable.
getmarkerposHQ looks suspiciously wrong too.
Harder to find something right with it :/
