You pass that from discord to Arma? @wary vine

from arma- discord

#

its AltisLife so all info is stored in the database.

How is that related to parseNumber though 😄

i'm still confused

still forum Mar 14, 2018, 7:58 PM

#

you can use setListBoxData stuff. To set the price as raw number

#

instead of parsing it from the text

wary vine Mar 14, 2018, 7:58 PM

#

its for the tax info on the bottom left 😉

#

ctrlText returns with $

still forum Mar 14, 2018, 7:59 PM

#

yeah

#

I'm saying don't use ctrlText

#

There is no reason to parse the human readable variant.

#

just store the machine readable one. and use that

wary vine Mar 14, 2018, 7:59 PM

dw im a dumbass

lone glade Mar 14, 2018, 7:59 PM

buuuut ded, both are human readable 🛫

wary vine Mar 14, 2018, 8:00 PM

#

why dont i just take the price they have entered, and work out the tax from that -.-

still forum Mar 14, 2018, 8:00 PM

Or just go with the variant that is human and machine readable

Is there an easy way to change the side of an UAV like the Mk21 Centurion?

yes

then, spawn a man of the appropriate side, drag it into the turret like you would into any other vehicle

does anyone know of a way to disable the grid position & height that follows your cursor on the main map? There doesn't seem to be a description.ext, difficulty option or script command that controls it

hi i use the following command to make my support have only 1 HE round, but when i test in mission
I can call my round, the operator tells me that it's inbound, i can see the marker on my map, but the shot is never deliverd.... do you have an idea why?

ART1 removeMagazinesTurret ["RHS_mag_m1_he_12",[0]];
ART1 addMagazine ["RHS_mag_m1_he_12", 1];

next lily Mar 15, 2018, 12:02 AM

#

Have you stood by the gun and actually see if it ever shot the projectile?

wide gulch Mar 15, 2018, 12:02 AM

#

i will try now

next lily Mar 15, 2018, 12:02 AM

#

Because if they don't shoot it, I imagine that's got something to do with why it doesn't land.

wide gulch Mar 15, 2018, 12:04 AM

#

the thing is with 2 ammo instead of one with addmagazine it works

#

it fires the round

next lily Mar 15, 2018, 12:05 AM

#

So then it means your round isn't landing or landing where you want.

wide gulch Mar 15, 2018, 12:05 AM

#

that's strange because i have a clear sight on the marked area and it's surrounding

#

and the splash message is never to be delivered

next lily Mar 15, 2018, 12:11 AM

#

...

#

WAIT.

#

What's the projectile lifetime?

#

(not that I think they'd overlook that)

#

But that's about the only thing I can think of, bar their own scripting.

I have a little bird helicopter attach to a platform but when i detatch the helicopter the helicopter starts boucing to end up blowing up. i already attached the helicopter like 2 feet above the platform and still bounce and blows up

Try setting velocity or something

@wide gulch https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addMagazineTurret
also possible with arty you need this https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/reload

young current Mar 15, 2018, 2:55 AM

#

set its postion after that

#

@ornate pawn

wide gulch Mar 15, 2018, 2:59 AM

#

@meager heart i don't how, but it worked after i rebooted my pc, without changing anything...
anyway it wasn't the problem it worked perfectly from the number of specific ammunitions desired to the confirmation that the shot was fired... the only problem it's the round was lost between its point of departure and the final destination

#

there was not even a "splash out" msg, and i checked the shot was fired...

meager heart Mar 15, 2018, 3:01 AM

#

If adding a magazine to an empty artillery support with this command in ArmA 3, use https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/reload If you do not reload, Artillery calls will not fire rounds, because the AI won't reload automatically (tested with 82mm mortar)
```comments on `reload` page ^

wide gulch Mar 15, 2018, 3:01 AM

#

but it works now

#

actually there is 1 single round in the arty

#

so maybe that's why

#

the idea is to give support to an assault, with 1 arty piece with 1 round of he and an other peice with full magazin of smoke.... and only 1 arty pieces because more would too powerfull for the scale and i can't use mortar

meager heart Mar 15, 2018, 3:05 AM

#

also RHS_mag_m1_he_12 < afaik that is 12 rounds in magazine

wide gulch Mar 15, 2018, 3:06 AM

#

yes that's why i use
ART1 addMagazine ["RHS_mag_m1_he_12", 1];

#

1 mag with 1 round

#

i spent 2 hours to figure out how to have 1 round in an arty piece... maybe because i'm a beginner...
but it works

meager heart Mar 15, 2018, 3:09 AM

#

you need use this addMagazineTurret

#

_vehicle addMagazineTurret ["RHS_mag_m1_he_12",[0],1]; //--- 1 magazine for turret [0] with 1 round

#

also you can check it with

#

systemChat str (getArtilleryAmmo [arty_name]);

#

or hint or copyToClipboard ^

wide gulch Mar 15, 2018, 3:24 AM

#

ok you're right i just tested, i was made it works... but i guess i changed something...
but that's still funny that AI makes the fire animation

#

thank you

#

still the same it doesn't land

#

and when i play the arty operator the round is loaded

meager heart Mar 15, 2018, 3:39 AM

#

try reload it maybe

wide gulch Mar 15, 2018, 3:42 AM

#

ok i figured out

#

it was because the arty was out of the map, on a platform on the sea

#

i relocated it and it works

#

nice

Can you have a href link on a button? Or do you need a structured text control

little eagle Mar 15, 2018, 1:36 PM

#

Structured Text Control, but you can always just make that transparent and put it over some other "button" like control.

warm gorge Mar 15, 2018, 1:37 PM

#

Alright thanks, I think I might do that

warm gorge Mar 15, 2018, 1:54 PM

#

@little eagle Is it possible to make the whole structured text clickable for the link, rather than just the actual text? If not, ill just put some large hidden text instead

little eagle Mar 15, 2018, 1:55 PM

#

Doubt it.

warm gorge Mar 15, 2018, 1:55 PM

#

Alright all good

warm gorge Mar 15, 2018, 2:18 PM

#

So I'm now trying to align an image in a structured text vertically in it's box (RscStructuredText with background) using the method on the wiki of adding a padding blank line, but for some reason the following code does nothung unless I increase the size of the padding however that just pushes it right down:

private _template = "<t size='0.5'>&#160;</t><t align='center' size='3'><a href='%1'><img image='content\icons\pauseMenu\%2'/></a></t>";
private _link = "www.google.com";
private _icon = "test.paa";

private _ctrlButton = _display ctrlCreate ["ctrlStructuredText", -1];
_ctrlButton ctrlSetStructuredText (parseText (format [_template, _link, _icon]));
_ctrlButton ctrlSetBackgroundColor [0, 0, 0, 0.8];
_ctrlButton ctrlCommit 0;

little eagle Mar 15, 2018, 2:23 PM

#

Different idea. Make the structured text control tiny (0,0) and activate it indirectly by an actual button using ctrlActivate.

warm gorge Mar 15, 2018, 2:23 PM

#

So when the button is clicked, activate the structured text control?

ornate pawn Mar 15, 2018, 2:23 PM

#

Does anybody knows why insignias wont show in the objects virtual arsenal?

little eagle Mar 15, 2018, 2:23 PM

#

So when the button is clicked, activate the structured text control?
Yes.

warm gorge Mar 15, 2018, 2:23 PM

#

Okay ill give that a go now

little eagle Mar 15, 2018, 2:27 PM

#

WORKS, does it show face and voice, but not the insignia or none of the 3?

ornate pawn Mar 15, 2018, 2:31 PM

#

it doesn't show face, voice and insignia

#

when you place a box in eden editor you have an arsenal option

little eagle Mar 15, 2018, 2:32 PM

#

Put

BIS_fnc_arsenal_fullArsenal = true;

into the init.sqf file.

ornate pawn Mar 15, 2018, 2:33 PM

#

but that will open full arsenal i need to restrict the virtual arsenal

#

only to show specific stuff

Can you post the code of your mission that handles the arsenal please?

ornate pawn Mar 15, 2018, 2:40 PM

#

Which box?

ornate pawn Mar 15, 2018, 2:41 PM

#

and in the Object Equipment storage i choose arsenal

little eagle Mar 15, 2018, 2:41 PM

#

Ah.

ornate pawn Mar 15, 2018, 2:41 PM

#

I need the arsenal to be limited

#

only stuff that im going to be using

little eagle Mar 15, 2018, 2:42 PM

#

Well, how do you limit it?

ornate pawn Mar 15, 2018, 2:42 PM

#

by choosing item by item

#

you never done it?

little eagle Mar 15, 2018, 2:43 PM

#

No, sounds like a pain.

ornate pawn Mar 15, 2018, 2:43 PM

#

it does

little eagle Mar 15, 2018, 2:43 PM

#

And there it doesn't give you the option to select insignia?

ornate pawn Mar 15, 2018, 2:43 PM

#

but no insignia, voice and face

little eagle Mar 15, 2018, 2:43 PM

#

ok

#

Well, you will have to do it by script then.

ornate pawn Mar 15, 2018, 2:44 PM

#

yeah

#

wow this is crap

#

even if i put this code in the init box

#

[myBox,["arifle_MX_F","arifle_MX_SW_F","arifle_MXC_F"],true] call BIS_fnc_addVirtualWeaponCargo;

#

it opens the arsenal but still no face and no insignia or face

#

why BIS has to make everything so complicated ?

warm gorge Mar 15, 2018, 2:46 PM

#

When arsenal is opened, BIS_fnc_arsenal_fullArsenal is set to whatever is passed to the function, so forcing that variable before wont do anything

little eagle Mar 15, 2018, 2:47 PM

#

You sure?

warm gorge Mar 15, 2018, 2:47 PM

#

Yeah

#

missionnamespace setvariable ["BIS_fnc_arsenal_fullArsenal",[_this,0,false,[false]] call bis_fnc_param];

little eagle Mar 15, 2018, 2:48 PM

#

I see.

warm gorge Mar 15, 2018, 2:49 PM

#

By the way, ctrlActivate doesn't seem to activate structured texts unfortunately 😦 Oh well, im sure ill figure out some other workaround

little eagle Mar 15, 2018, 2:49 PM

#

Weird. I swear some people used that before.

ornate pawn Mar 15, 2018, 2:50 PM

#

So i'm going to do a script for a custom arsenal?

errant jasper Mar 15, 2018, 2:51 PM

#

This is part of the code for arsenal:
if (_fullVersion && !is3DEN) then {

#

inside there it adds insignias

#

So try running the mission outside 3den

fossil yew Mar 15, 2018, 2:51 PM

#

Wiki say enableDynamicSimulation works "for given non AI object". What to use for AI then?

ornate pawn Mar 15, 2018, 2:51 PM

#

that code goes where?

errant jasper Mar 15, 2018, 2:52 PM

#

And for reference _fullVersion = missionnamespace getvariable ["BIS_fnc_arsenal_fullArsenal",false];

still forum Mar 15, 2018, 2:52 PM

#

bis_fnc_arsenal_data = nil; missionnamespace setvariable ["BIS_fnc_arsenal_fullArsenal",true];["Open",true] spawn BIS_fnc_arsenal; This is the code that I use

#

I guess clearning the arsenal_data is important

errant jasper Mar 15, 2018, 2:52 PM

#

So try what commy2 and shadowranger suggested, and run it outside 3den.

ornate pawn Mar 15, 2018, 2:54 PM

#

yeah that opens a full arsenal

#

but not what i need

#

i need to have a custom arsenal

#

where i can choose weapons and guns

#

i don't need all the waepons

#

i don't need all the uniforms

I tried the white listing, but the button to toggle to go to the insignia is hidden anyway.

lone glade Mar 15, 2018, 2:57 PM

so even if you whitelist you'll still be able to easily bypass it or load loadouts that don't have whitelisted stuff

thanks for the help tho

warm gorge Mar 15, 2018, 3:06 PM

@little eagle It turns out RscShortcutButton has a url field which can be defined in a class definition. Only downside is there's no scripting command to set it, but I can work with that.

little eagle Mar 15, 2018, 3:07 PM

#

nice.

#

Just showing the buttons doesn't fix it either, because this is how they're "disabled":

                    _ctrl ctrlsetposition [0,0,0,0];
                    _ctrl ctrlcommit 0;

#

So they aren't disabled, just made zero width and height.

#

Which is reasonable, but you also have to disable them, otherwise they can be reached by shortcut.

#

This is done for:

                IDC_RSCDISPLAYARSENAL_TAB_FACE,
                IDC_RSCDISPLAYARSENAL_TAB_VOICE,
                IDC_RSCDISPLAYARSENAL_TAB_INSIGNIA

if

if (_fullVersion && !is3DEN) then {

is NOT true, so if either not in 3den OR the full version is enabled.

lone glade Mar 15, 2018, 3:14 PM

Use ctrlEnable false instead

little eagle Mar 15, 2018, 3:14 PM

You cannot run code "in" a namespace

If you mean the with command. Then that just sets the default namespace

@hasty violet
I can't confirm this, but I was told that myvar = "something" is identical to missionNamespace setVariable ["myvar", "something"], so I'm not sure how different it really is.

#

Again, cannot confirm, but that's what I've been told.

#

Though I suppose you can't do my var = "something", while you can do missionNamespace setVariable ["my var", "something"];

#

I mean that works.

#

If you have to grab it from another client, I'd set it to public (third argument)

#

Well, you can do what I do-

#

Copious amounts of testing and file patching.

#

I mean, then you can absolutely just set it like...

#

unit setVariable ["earprotection", true, true]

#

then you can just... unit getVariable "earprotection"

#

Boom.

Have you tried using a CBA PFH?

If you need to run something in such fashion like that, it's what I'd suggest.

vapid drift Mar 16, 2018, 2:34 AM

#

So I don't think I know enough about my problem to google properly because I'm not having any luck.

When you create a module, how do you pass the direction it's facing to the function it calls?

next lily Mar 16, 2018, 2:50 AM

#

@vapid drift
Can't you just use [getDir this] call <function>?

vapid drift Mar 16, 2018, 2:51 AM

#

I don't think so

#

So I define the module in the config.cpp including the function = "functionName"

#

in the function it calls, I need to get the location and direction of the module that called it... does that make sense?

#

I don't see any reference of that in module frame work but I know it's possible

next lily Mar 16, 2018, 3:07 AM

#

@vapid drift
Why not use a gamelogic?

#

Have that pass the information where the gamelogic is your position and direction.

vapid drift Mar 16, 2018, 3:08 AM

#

So put the logic in the map and then the whole
[getDir this] call <function> business?

next lily Mar 16, 2018, 3:09 AM

#

Yeah, so you'd have the logic named, e.g. 'GL'.

#

Then you get the arguments you need for your function, and pass with them getDir GL, getPos GL somewhere in the arguments.

#

Needless to say that the function being called needs to be written to handle those.

vapid drift Mar 16, 2018, 3:10 AM

#

Kind of defeats the purpose of someone being able to just drop down a module though doesn't it?

next lily Mar 16, 2018, 3:10 AM

#

Purpose of the module is defeated if it can't be used as intended, either.

#

Try and see if you can getPos/getDir somehow with the module itself.

vapid drift Mar 16, 2018, 3:11 AM

#

Yeah, like I said though, it definitely can I'm just not sure how

#

The module itself is a config file

next lily Mar 16, 2018, 3:11 AM

#

What module and what exactly are you trying to do?

vapid drift Mar 16, 2018, 3:14 AM

#

nevermind, I figured it out

next lily Mar 16, 2018, 3:14 AM

#

what was the solution?

vapid drift Mar 16, 2018, 3:14 AM

#

you can access the logic itself from the called function on _this

#

_this select 0 specifically

next lily Mar 16, 2018, 3:14 AM

#

_this returns arguments from a call.

#

So if it's fed [module, something, whatever], then yeah, _this select 0 is the first one in that array.

vapid drift Mar 16, 2018, 3:15 AM

#

This was a custom created function

#

custom created module*

#

That's basically what I was trying to figure out... what exactly does it feed to the function it calls because I couldn't find that in the module framework

tardy ingot Mar 16, 2018, 3:47 AM

(sorry for jumping in), if you're unsure what a function returns, hint it's results via

aspect ratio doesnt effect safezone as far as I'm aware

my UI seems to stay the same regardless of any screen size (assuming I stay within the safezone)

next lily Mar 16, 2018, 4:31 AM

🤔

tardy ingot Mar 16, 2018, 4:31 AM

#

the safe zone will keep everything basically centered

#

but you can override the safezone by just subtracting it

next lily Mar 16, 2018, 4:32 AM

#

I'm considering having one edge of a control tied to absolute size and the other tied to the safe zone.

tardy ingot Mar 16, 2018, 4:32 AM

#

x = (safeZoneX+0.1) should give you 10% into the screen from the left of your screen

#

Well it really does depend on how complex your UI has to be

#

dealing with 'responsive' UI is a pain in the ass

#

So in the case seen there, you have the window, and then the gate system targeting the window.

#

The problem is that inside the grey box, I don't want the aspect of that to stretch or contract, because that's supposed to represent a 1degree x 1degree FOV...

#

which if it's not square, then... it can't have a 1x1 aspect ratio as desired.

tardy ingot Mar 16, 2018, 4:36 AM

#

well if you use 0.5,0.5 as your x and y values you should get center screen regardless of safezone, it wont change size on other screens

#

or aspect ratios

#

I'm pretty sure it's basically a fixed size

next lily Mar 16, 2018, 4:37 AM

#

The center I can find, that's not the issue.

#

The issue is if I go <x> to either side, but ALSO go <x> up and down...

#

if I use safe zones, will that still be square?

tardy ingot Mar 16, 2018, 4:37 AM

#

no

next lily Mar 16, 2018, 4:37 AM

Hence.

#

So I'd have to go <x> to either side and <x * 4/3> up and down to keep it square?

tardy ingot Mar 16, 2018, 4:38 AM

#

Yeah you'd have to account for the current aspect ratio of the client

next lily Mar 16, 2018, 4:39 AM

#

But from what that says, absolute coords are fixed to 4:3

tardy ingot Mar 16, 2018, 4:39 AM

that would be just for the safe zone I beliee

As per refrence: https://community.bistudio.com/wikidata/images/a/ac/safezone.jpg

#

in that refrence the safe zones change depending on the aspect / resolution

next lily Mar 16, 2018, 4:40 AM

#

Hence the problem.

tardy ingot Mar 16, 2018, 4:40 AM

#

yep you basically want to expand the safezone if I can gather?

meager heart Mar 16, 2018, 4:40 AM

#

size of the "safezone box" is the same on all screens and monitors, with the same aspect ratio 4:3, but the coordinates of the top left corner, of that box, is different for every screen zise / aspect ratio

next lily Mar 16, 2018, 4:41 AM

#

ugh...

#

facedesk

#

I'll... probably be back to ask more questions once I think I /actually/ begin to understand what you guys have already shown. x.x

tardy ingot Mar 16, 2018, 4:41 AM

#

Ill sum it up

#

the things inside the safezone never change

#

ever

#

the values of everything outside the safezone change depending on resolutions or aspect ratios

#

the safezoneX and safezoneY variables will return the values from the screen borders to the start of the safearea

next lily Mar 16, 2018, 4:43 AM

#

The safezone itself is centered, though, yes?

tardy ingot Mar 16, 2018, 4:43 AM

#

you can easily subtract the aspect ratio from these safezone values to create an artificial safezone for yourself, but this might have unexpected results across different resolutions as they breach the standards

#

yes

#

its fixed and centered

#

if you open the ingame GUI editor it's width and height is the safezone

next lily Mar 16, 2018, 4:44 AM

#

Then why does the safezoneH and safezoneW extend beyond the monitor as in the image?

tardy ingot Mar 16, 2018, 4:45 AM

#

beacuse that value is the full width of the screen

#

it's just an example

#

if you subtract the safezone values it will be the full screen width

#

eliminate safezone X and Y to get the fullwidth of the screen space

next lily Mar 16, 2018, 4:45 AM

#

So the safe zone values are constant, but the safezone width and height aren't?

tardy ingot Mar 16, 2018, 4:46 AM

#

if you want to play with the full screen width and height

#

just base your default X and Y positions from safeZoneX and safeZoneY

#

safeZoneX + 0.1 will give you 10% from the left of the screen

next lily Mar 16, 2018, 4:47 AM

So where would safeZoneX + 1 get me?

#

off the screen?

Or the edge?

tardy ingot Mar 16, 2018, 4:47 AM

#

right side of the screen

#

edge of the right side

#

safeZoneX - 0.1 will give you 10% from the right

next lily Mar 16, 2018, 4:48 AM

So safezoneX + 1 is the right edge of that 4:3 box.

#

ergo, always?

tardy ingot Mar 16, 2018, 4:51 AM

@hasty violet two -- "true" condition can never be turned off. you'd have a hard time stopping that loop in some emergency
Incorrect in scheduled. terminate command.
@next lily it's going to try and run 10000 cycles in one frame. Only on unscheduled.
While true, I've found is a great way to tank FPS. Yeah well.. You either do nothing in scheduled. Or you freeze the game for a short time in unscheduled.
@tardy ingot I prefer systemChat str _this over hint str _this because hint always overwrites the last hint so if your function is called often... But I think systemChat might not work in SP?
it will convert just about any type into a string instantly "about any" == "any but Nil"

tardy ingot Mar 16, 2018, 6:56 AM

#

@still forum systemchat is quite hard to test with in SP so I tend to just unify my method and just "hint str" everything. However in recent months i've moved into testing within edens multiplayer environment to better avail of certen functionalities.

I may release a log like command that will draw multiline hints (stacked) for dule environment testing

Actually, while you're here @still forum, would you happen to know if a parsing function exsits for spotting syntax errors.. The default black error box is massively underwhelming I find.

modern sand Mar 16, 2018, 11:02 AM

#

I have a question regarding the 'in' command. Say for instance I have a variable set to a string (_var1 = "TestString1"), and have an array with 'TestString1' inside of one of the strings (_array1 = ["BlahBlah","TestString1 Blah Blah"]). If I was to use an if statement like this (if (_var1 in _array1) then {_result = true} else {_result = false}). Would _result return to true or false. So what I'm overall asking is does the in command check if the entire string is equal to the other entire string, or just checks if the keyword (TestString1) is inside of one of the arrays string.

still forum Mar 16, 2018, 11:04 AM

#

false

#

because it doesn't contain the value TestString1

#

in just checks values

#

not contents of values in values

modern sand Mar 16, 2018, 11:04 AM

Strange, seeming I originally thought that to be true. But seem to be getting issues.

Wait nvm, ^ that's incorrect. My issue has to do with other functions calling my main one a long with my switch statement. My bad

Like right now ive just reloaded my mission, and entered playSound "Orange_vehicle_Alarm_Loop_01"; in debug console and it gave me the error. It's hard to reproduce it working, because for me it seems random.

Yep, pure vanilla. Just tried in a plain mission (no scripts or anything), same thing. It doesnt seem to be with all Orange DLC sounds, just having problems with the alarm sound, but would need to go through them all to double check.

@vapid drift I had some issue with that. AFAIK if you try to input start seconds in some range (neagtive or over the music actual lenght) that might result in that next track can stop randomly.

@wary vine you should use mouseEnter and mouseExit on your controls to restore previous control attributes, to avoid blinking. Seems a bit sloppy when it blinks like that.

So I still can't figure out why this function isn't executing properly the first time. Once I fire it once, it does what it's supposed to but not until then:

The action that spawns it:

            [[_pilot02, ["Test Me", {
                ["testMe"] spawn TFR_fnc_jumpHandler;
            }]], "addAction", true, true] call BIS_fnc_MP;

And the section in the function that is spawned:

    case "testMe": {
            ace_hearing_disableVolumeUpdate = true;
            playMusic ["BackgroundTrack01_F_EPC", 24];
            sleep 5;
            playMusic "";
            ace_hearing_disableVolumeUpdate = false;
    };

#

The first time I select the action, no music. The second and beyond, music for 5 seconds just like it's supposed to

If a command doesn't have left arguments, or right arguments the correct syntax is:

@still forum everyone can use the painting

still forum Mar 18, 2018, 5:33 PM

Uh.. yeah..

#

You set it to true which means everyone.. That's correct.

pseudo cypress Mar 18, 2018, 5:34 PM

#

sry im very very new in scripting so if i change all the true to false it should work? or just the last one on the end ?

still forum Mar 18, 2018, 5:34 PM

#

If you set it to false then no-one will be able to use that. Besides who executes that script.

hmm so how can i change it that just the UIDs can use it ? -

still forum Mar 18, 2018, 5:40 PM

#

Sure

#

missionNamespace setVariable[_function, compileFinal preprocessFileLineNumbers format["%1\%2.sqf",_path,_function], _client];
->

 missionNamespace setVariable[_function, compileFinal format ["if !((getPlayerUID player) in %1) exitWith {}; %2",admins,preprocessFileLineNumbers format["%1\%2.sqf",_path,_function]], true];

so mission restart for missionNamespace, game restart for UI and profileNamespace

#

.... just why the fuck are you not using CfgFunctions

#

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Functions_Library_(Arma_3)

#

the whole idea is wrong

#

again, use CfgFunctions, be it a "script" or an addon, use it.

#

because you don't have to compile them yourself? because it's easier to maintain? because it's straight up better?

#

DAC is seriously outdated

#

and bugged

#

...

#

it wasn't tho

#

K

#

just do your thing.

queen cargo Mar 19, 2018, 12:00 AM

#

seriously ... CfgFunctions is way easier then this

#

"include in file XYZ"
instead of include this "functions_mygenericscriptaddon.hpp" file into your description.exts function section

lone glade Mar 19, 2018, 12:02 AM

#

the fuck am I reading

queen cargo Mar 19, 2018, 12:02 AM

#

so you fucked up your script

#

cool

#

no, that is something different completly

#

there is only one reason to not use cfgfunctions right now and that is for self-implemented headers/footers
as that is not implementable using cfgfunctions as of right now

lone glade Mar 19, 2018, 12:03 AM

#

or if you don't want clients to compile those funcs because whatever

queen cargo Mar 19, 2018, 12:04 AM

#

they have to use them at some point @lone glade
always

lone glade Mar 19, 2018, 12:04 AM

#

both are questionable too.

queen cargo Mar 19, 2018, 12:06 AM

#

so to come back to the point: telling the user "just do what you need to always do, #include "functionsfileformyscript.hpp" in the description.exts cfgFunctions section

#

and done

#

and in your pre/post-init script you then do whatever is needed

#

eg. use spawn to start a script scheduler instance

queen cargo Mar 19, 2018, 12:12 AM

no, it is THE way how to do that

execVM etc. are all not to be used for scripters

add either a preinit or a postinit and spawn the script in there

wary vine Mar 19, 2018, 2:50 AM

#

quick one, do you think I could do a sorta dupe protection, by using the "take" handler, and checking if the client can see the server (for the pull ethernet dupe bug) ?

#

tag_client_fnc = {
  _unit = [_this,0,objNull,[objNull]] call BIS_fnc_param;
  _container = [_this,1,objNull,[objNull]] call BIS_fnc_param;
  _item = [_this,2,"",[""]] call BIS_fnc_param;

  isConnectedtoServer = false;
  _startTime = diag_tickTime;
  [_unit] remoteExec ["tag_fnc_isClientconnected",2];
  waitUntil{isConnectedtoServer || (diag_tickTime >= (_startTime + 2))};
  if !(isConnectedtoServer) exitWith {
    hint "something about connection issues";
    delete the items.
  }
};


tag_server_fnc = {
  _unit = [_this,0,objNull,[objNull]] call BIS_fnc_param;
  _owner = owner _unit;
  isConnectedtoServer = true;
  _owner publicVariableClient "isConnectedtoServer";
};
``` as example

unborn ether Mar 19, 2018, 3:11 AM

@wary vine The key is ping-like function. remoteExec to the server function with some unique key back from it. If that unique key doesn't change in some period of time - something is wrong with client connection. Just don't forget about sensitivity, so you will not flood the server with that shit or get all clients fucked because of small interval.

wary vine Mar 19, 2018, 3:15 AM

#

this would be on take event handler, so if isConnectedtoServer is still false after x seconds in the above statement it is 2, it will delete the weapon from their inventory

meager heart Mar 19, 2018, 3:21 AM

#

BIS_fnc_param - "This function is obsolete since the introduction of param and params."

wary vine Mar 19, 2018, 3:22 AM

#

ok.

#

Ill switch it, but is the idea viable ?

unborn ether Mar 19, 2018, 3:27 AM

#

@wary vine Well, besides that, your players might encounter a random item deletion because of some small lag.

wary vine Mar 19, 2018, 3:28 AM

#

I could play around with the time for that though

#

i think 2 seconds should be more then enough,

unborn ether Mar 19, 2018, 3:32 AM

#

@wary vine No its mostly about that arma is living on UDP protocol. So for the whole timeline of 2000ms you might have a segment where this remoteExec will not reach the server. So once that happens, your 2 seconds safeguard is already failure:


100ms // failed to remoteExec
// anything below doesn't really have a reason anymore
250ms // fine
500ms // fine
1000ms // fine
...

#

@wary vine and yeah, instead of _owner = owner _unit you can simply use remoteExecutedOwner

wary vine Mar 19, 2018, 3:33 AM

#

So what would be the best idea for the duping issue then xD

unborn ether Mar 19, 2018, 3:36 AM

#

@wary vine You should create a query of pings. Once per N-ms (depends on how accurate you want this to be), for example each 200ms for whole 2000ms timeline = 10 checks in 2 seconds.

#

@wary vine Just think about when and where that should be done, and once its fine utilize remoteExec ping chain to stop sending all 10 packets. In case packets will fail to reach the server, they will be utilized anyways.

wary vine Mar 19, 2018, 3:37 AM

#

Yeah, ill take a look 😃 ty

@hasty violet and he would have to start the script in init.sqf / initPlayerLocal.sqf with an execVM. No. CfgFunctions postInit.
I do not want him to have two steps Yeah... You only have one step.
I would prefer for him to just have one step Uh.. That is one step...
@queen cargo did not understand*
@astral tendon I am trying to make my missions DLC free so is there i way i can remove DLCs to make sure of that? Yeah. Don't build on Tanoa. And don't place vehicles that have a DLC icon.

@unborn ether No its mostly about that arma is living on UDP protocol. Arma still makes sure that packets get through though...

unborn ether Mar 19, 2018, 7:07 AM

#

@still forum Well that means arma does query them internally, since thats a behaviour of TCP packet, not UDP. AFAIK all of my remoteExec's being discarded while connection is lost. Anyways I was checking that in range of ~3-10s with no connection, might encounter timeouts.

#

If that's true, that gives me a reason of why laggy clients are such a pain to arma servers. It sometimes simply chokes of all that client flood.

still forum Mar 19, 2018, 7:10 AM

#

Yes. Exactly.

#

Position updates are non-guaranteed. But stuff like script stuff are guaranteed

meager heart Mar 19, 2018, 7:16 AM

#

afaik even scripts because of laggs could be rejected/not executed, is that correct ?

#

If you completly loose connection then they are ofcause not executed.
Aka when the server shows you as disconnected.

unborn ether Mar 19, 2018, 7:19 AM

#

Just thought about that to be 10 seconds. Its just made me paranoid a bit.
disconnectTimeout = 10; // Server wait time before disconnecting client, default 90 seconds, range 5 to 90 seconds. (since Arma 3 1.56+)

#

10 seconds = you have nothing to do here with all your packets query.

#

nah

fossil yew Mar 19, 2018, 7:22 AM

This piece of code tries to recreate vehicles in the base previously loaded from server's profileNamespace. But weirdly, there are explosions occurring despite vehicles not being very close to each other.

// create empty vehicles
{
            _x params ["_vehicleType", "_vehiclePosition"];
            _vehicleType createVehicle _vehiclePosition;
            sleep 0.5;
} forEach _vehicles;

#

Is there a smarter way to do the same?

#

vehicles are saved with

_vehicles = (getMarkerPos _markerName) nearEntities [["Car_F", "Tank_F", "Helicopter_Base_F"], _range];
...
_vehicles apply {
                [typeOf _x, getPos _x]
} // create array of vehicles
