@warm gorge As already mentioned, any trigger can easily, and more flexibly, be done using spawn with waiting/sleeping and condition checking. However, triggers run their code unscheduled, so if you need that be sure to wrap the corresponding parts in isNil.
still forum
triggers only run the condition in unscheduled
little eagle
I know that user actions run condition unscheduled and statement scheduled, but I have no idea if this is the same for triggers actually.

I think I saw somewhere people creating triggers via script so that they can get their code to execute unscheduled
Ofcourse we use isNil for that because we have brains...

@still forum sadly didn't do the trick, I tried disabling the damage as well, nothing. :/
unborn ether
if you enableSimulation to false it will never ragdoll, either do any physics, event dont calculate dynamic lights, so you've done something wrong
inland badger
@unborn ether Not sure how I would do anything wrong, what I did was placing a normal popup target, disabled simulation, shot it, fell over. Or is the enable simulation bugged in the editor?

objects without simulation shouldn't be able to play animations
unborn ether
Well if its actually an animation and not some kind of setVectorDirAndUp
inland badger
Ikr, let me try and manually disable it again when in-game through the debug.
unborn ether
Also, the animation is acutally performed at its 1 frame, so if you switchMove to some animation, you will see the first frame of it. So if the first frame is like its downed already, that might be it.
inland badger
Ehm, there is no way to like cancel the animation via a event handler say the hit one for example, as I tried poping it back up once the event handler was fired but that didn't do anything to it.
tried it in debug now, still doing the same when I manually disabled it as well.

Try removing HandleDamage along with Hit also, as it might be there too.

but it's limited iirc - only works for the one who fired the projectiel if memory serves right

Currently there is only one EVH HitPart which is able to detect velocity of the projectile on hit, but that doesn't help much about shooting in the air as its object based.

well that much is obvious... no impact, no event to detect impact velocity xD

Otherwise you can detect that by speed in Fired* EVH, but you need to have some "hooks" on where and when that happens.

Why don't you just look at the code
it's not a hashtable. It's CBA_Hash
actually has nothing to do with hashing at all
["#CBA_HASH#", ["key1", "key2"], ["value1", "value2"]]
little eagle
Just use the namespaces. If your keys are objects, use BIS_fnc_netId to serialize them.

CBA namespace is just a Location or simpleObject
peak plover
private _elementNr = (_keys find _key)
private _value = (_values param [_elementNr,_defaultValue]);
yes
peak plover
interdasting
errant jasper
But depending on your needs, I would probably go for namespace instead. If all the keys are known, just too cumbersome to use cba_hash
peak plover
prviate _value = _myNamespace getVariable [_key,_defaultValue];
is faster amirite
And I can also save everything from mynmaspace into profilenamespace pretty ez
or extDB
still forum
getVariable uses a real hashtable/hashmap.
it's not always faster.
the getVariable lookup is basically always the same time.
But with find it increases linearly the further it has to search.
find is really fast if the thing you are searching is right at the start of the array. Probably even faster than getVariable.
But if you have dozens of entries and want to find the index of the last.. it's incredibly slow.
getVariable only supports string and is case-insensitive though. Which is probably the only reason why CBA hash is still around.
Until you use Intercept_CBA which has a real hashMap container.
little eagle
And I can also save everything from mynmaspace into profilenamespace pretty ez
Which is probably the only reason why CBA hash is still around.

oh yeah. CBA hash has a function to export/import to/from namespace
little eagle
I'd say one major benefit of those CBA hashes is, that they can be stored in profile namespace (and the mission.sqm as 3den setting).
oh yeah. CBA hash has a function to export/import to/from namespace

Just tried CBA_hash vs CBA_namespace with just one entry. CBA_namespace is almost 10 times faster at setting and almost 5 times faster at reading. And this even includes an additional 'str _key' conversion for the namespace.
little eagle
Yeah, it's an old mediocre and superseded idea, and is only really used by me for what I wrote above.

Think you can have literal millions of them, and they only reduce perf on the map, and that is really minor unless you have unreasonably large numbers of namespaces.

100k helipads kills fps, when 100k locations only affects fps when on the map

Really? The only I can think of is nearestLocations at whereever they're created outside the map (-1000,-1000 iirc).
You'd have to use a script containing a loop iterating through the nearest locations of a point inside the map with a > 1.41 km radius. Somehow I doubt anyone does that.

Guys, I am trying to use setObjectTexture but with no luck for now. I added selection name to hiddenSelections[] in config, in model.cfg in class cfgModels I added same selection inside "sections[]" and it still doesnt change the texture. What should I do else?
little eagle
sections[]
๐ค
still forum
Afaik the selection doesn't even need to be in model.cfg. But I'm not sure because this is #arma3_scripting and not #arma3_model
The selection has to be on your model. If it isn't then it can't know what texture to change
neon snow
@still forum That's what bothers me too, becouse on the wiki it says "Don't forget to add the model and the selections in the CfgModels" and I am not entirely sure what that means, becouse I dont see selections in CfgModels
And yes, my model has a selection named correctly etc
still forum
@lone glade profiler works just fine on RC for me. atleast it shows stuff like ace_nametags_fnc_onDraw3D and BIS_fnc_loop.. wait... BIS functions never worked before ๐ฎ What's this.
little eagle
CfgModels ???
Do you mean the model.cfg?
lone glade
send me your current build ^
neon snow
@little eagle yes, class CfgModels inside model.cfg
little eagle
Does your config.cpp have
hiddenSelections[] = {"camo", "camo1"};
hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"a3\structures_f\training\data\target_longrange_co.paa", "a3\structures_f\training\data\target_figure_co.paa"};
too?
neon snow
Yes indeed
little eagle
camo and camo1 are the selection names.
neon snow
Previously , hiddenSeections[] had 10 elements, I added one , so AFAIK the command should be :
_FA18 setObjectTextureGlobal [10, _map];
still forum
true. Maybe there is a max limit of them but never heard of that.
The others still work fine? What if you change the order. aka put yours at the start
does the texture you define in the config take effect? Or that also not?
neon snow
Ingame I run script getObjectTextures player vehicle and it returns the previous ones aswell as added one by me
I will try reordering them, but as for limit, on the wiki it says that array max size is 10 elements, however I checked on different plane and it had its map texture on 13 element so yeah
Hmm still no luck. Might it be that its original texture is rendersurface or the fact that it is on View-Pilot LOD?
manic sigil
Would
MissionNameSpace setVariable ["Plane", this, 1]
be a public alternative to Plane = This?
still forum
no
well.. somewhat "public"
Owner number 1 will get it too. Unsure what that is. 2 is server
If you want it public then use true
or just
plane = this;
publicVariable "plane";
Nobody is 1.
manic sigil
I could swear 1 was "run for all" >_>
And that that exists - guess I was more checking the idea than anything else.
little eagle
missionNamespace setVariable ["Plane", this, true];
is the same as:
plane = this;
publicVariable "plane";
0 was everyone. But not on setVariable
little eagle
true is run for all.
1 or any number is run for one client with that id. Nobody has 1 as id. It starts as 2 in MP for the server and continues with 3, 4 etc. for clients, as long as no savegame was loaded, in which case the server is also something > 2.

Quick question. How do I get the classnames of custom Ie (CUP) uniforms? Do I have to equip them on NPC and then copy one by one?
strange urchin
Well, how would you equip them without knowing the classnames?
lone glade
by retrieving them by classname?
filter out anything that starts with CUP in cfgWeapons that is also type I don't remember for uniforms
gleaming oyster
vehicleClass uniform or something along those lines
strange urchin
Yeah, filter out by the CUP tag and maybe check that itโs ItemInfo has the uniformClass field
gleaming oyster
Just look at the entries for any uniform vehicleClass make sure they match with your selected config entry
strange urchin
Or maybe just use https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_itemType
To check if itโs a uniform
gleaming oyster
type = 131072;
Or
_uniforms = "isClass _x && getNumber(_x >> 'type') == 801" configClasses(configFile >> "CfgWeapons");
the fuck are you on about
you forgot to use single quotes and the uniform type is 801
strange urchin
Yeah...
lone glade
fuck, know what, gimme 2 minutes
gleaming oyster
Happy now?
lone glade
no because you're still missing the fact that you're using the wrong type entry and not checking for cup uniforms
gleaming oyster
I thought that was implied?
real herald
"Well, how would you equip them without knowing the classnames?" - Via edit loadout in the Editor, how else?
lone glade
private _uniformArray = [];
{
if (isClass (_x >> "ItemInfo")) then {
if (getNumber (_x >> "ItemInfo" >> "type") == 801) then {
_uniformArray pushBack (configName _x);
};
};
} foreach ("tolower (configName _x) find 'cup' > -1" configClasses (configFile >> "CfgWeapons"));
_uniformArray
something like this in the debug console, there might be a few false positives
gleaming oyster
Isn't there a way to check which addon a config came from?
lone glade
yes, but that would've taken me more than 2 minutes
now I need to figure out why my dev branch build shit the bed....

Let's say object is local to player1 and he disconnects, when handle disconnect triggers on server, is the player1 object and any objects that were local to that player local to the server now?

they will get transferred
if player1 object doesn't disappear
but not sure if they are already transferred when handle disconnect fires

Man I'm sure this has been done before
people loading ai duty onto player clients
still forum
yeah definetly
peak plover
I just had an idea
for my ai script to add client hosted ai
But my issue right now is
There is no way to check poing
ping
afaik
I guess intercept can do it?
peak plover
Hmm
Damn
I figured out
I'd measure client fps and get avergage
If client is above average it can take an ai group to handle
And then having a rating based on clients previous performance
So for ex. if client disconnects before mission end, he left or crashed therefor his rating drops
And if client drops below average with ai then this rating drops
etc.
But my issue was ping
no good if a guy with 300 ping gets all the ai

you have to play the death animation for the person

warm gorge
Ah okay
unborn ether
@astral tendon One more do you actually understand that camCommitPrepared and camCommit and all related commands are diffrent, so as I see you prepare fov, but your target is not prepared. So FOV is not applied AFAIK.
lone glade
setUnitLoadout didn't delete previous containers on the player, meaning at some point you ended up with thousands of backpack entities
lone glade
well then consider it fixed ๐

I do use setUnitLoadout, so probably is. Thank god.
I remember some feedback tracker ticket about it thats been around for years which heaps of replies on it, I think thats related

setUnitLoadout didn't delete previous containers by saying did you mean thats fixed for now?

This was the ticket I was referring to https://feedback.bistudio.com/T82940 named "Deleting non-local object produces RPT spam"

I tested it on dev branch and that was fixed @unborn ether
no more thousands of ghost entries in the log that was produced by logEntities
astral tendon
@unborn ether "prepare the target"?
unborn ether
@astral tendon Yes, there are commands to preprare the cam, prepared cam commands commit only with camCommitPrepared
astral tendon
so just change to camCommitPrepared?
unborn ether
depends on how far from your render point that cam is created, prepared cam renders all around it. You use mixed, but only do camCommit
its better to use prepared OR unpreared, not both.
thick oar
Added: A new "#" script operator (works in the same way same as select, but is shorter to write and has higher priority than math functions)

camPrepareFOV will not fire without camCommitPrepared in your case anyways, since you only use camCommit

You can use protected variables as object variable names by editing the mission.sqm.

Honestly nope ๐ It's entirely possible I misremembered that to begin with, that was quite some time ago

I presumed sqs was short for "sequence script", as the original purpose was cutscene control, and well, a script is used in a scene, and multiple scenes form a sequence in filmmaking. maybe I'm interpreting too much logic into that. ๐

You can get a variable by a string with <namespace> getVariable ["variablename", <defaultValue>]

if (!isNull _object) then {
_object addEventHandler ["hitPart", {

}];
};
although generally, I advise you to store the objects youre referencing in an array instead and work with that
it's just a cleaner solution and helps avoid errors which become annoying to debug
raven oracle
yeah, cutting corners. Have 2000 objects named too similarly.
tame portal
im not 100% sure if my snippet will work but it should, put it into the for loop
how are your vehicles named?
in what scheme
raven oracle
could you explain what each bit of that does?
tame portal
TR_1, TR_2,... and so on?
raven oracle
yes
tame portal
OK
raven oracle
terrible i know
tame portal
missionNamespace getVariable [format ["TR_%1", _i], objNull];
basically getVariable takes a string and an optional default value and returns you whatever is stored in that global variable in the namespace youve defined
your variables are most likely in missionNamespace anyway so dont bother about that
format ["TR_%1", _i] results in whatever number is stored in _i
so in the first iteration it will become
"TR_1"
second
"TR_2" and so on
so the script (in each loop run) gets the variable value from "TR_1", then "TR_2" and so on
objNull is just a default value in case your variable does not exist for whatever reason
it then stores it in the local variable _object which is marked as private (meaning you cant by accident override other variables which are named _object and which are defined in a parent scope)
raven oracle
rgr. Thank you for your time
tame portal
private _a = 1;
if (_a == 1) then {
private _a = 2;
hint str _a;
};
hint str _a;```will hint 2 and then 1
and the rest is basically the same as your existing code
raven oracle
Well thank you for that, I appreciate you walking me through that.
tame portal
i changed TR+_i animate ["Terc",1]; to (param [0]) animate ["Terc",1]; as the vehicle youre attaching the handler to is passed into your script which runs when the handler is fired as an argument
raven oracle
not used to SQF proper yet. Not creating it from scratch
tame portal
the other option would be to hardcode which object you mean in each defined code segment.. but thats very dirty
this method instead just takes the object the handler is assigned to
raven oracle
Why would the "dirty" way be well. "dirty"?
tame portal
the issue is that somethign i define in my script like _a wont carry over into the eventhandler
(any local variable)
this wouldnt work
raven oracle
right, so thats why it wasnt working. Thank you
tame portal
_object addEventHandler ["hitPart", {
_object animate ["Terc",1];
}];
because the code you give your handler to run when it fires is not in the same context as the script youre currently writing
it doesnt know _object and will error or maybe dont even error at all
so your dirty workaround would be to either have the code know a global variable to fetch from
for example if i only had one vehicle i could do this
myVehicle addEventHandler ["hitPart", {
myVehicle animate ["Terc",1];
}];
but this isnt suitable for your application and certainly not a clean solution
so best way is to just use the reference the eventhandler passes into your code snippet
this way you dont have to keep track of the vehicle in a variable somewhere for the eventhandler to find it again when the code runs
the handler knows what its attached to anyway
raven oracle
rgr.

Just a quick word to the wise: as of 1.82 hit point strings returned using commands (getAllHitPointsDamage) or passed to event handlers (HandleDamage, Dammaged) are now forced lowercase. Something to now keep in mind for anyone using statements such as _hitPoint in ["HitBody", "HitHull"] or _hitPoint isEqualTo "HitBody".
I have no idea why this wasn't documented in the changelog, but it certainly has caused me a few minor issues after updating to 1.82.

Any ideas why im having so much trouble playing the "Acts_TreatingWounded01" animation? No matter what I use, playMove, switchMove, whatever, it just either doesn't play properly or partially plays it and just bugs out
wary vine
I had that so I went another route
{
player playMove _x;
[player,_x,true] remoteExecCall ["life_fnc_animSync",-2];
} forEach [
"ainvpknlmstpsnonwnondnon_medic",
"ainvpknlmstpsnonwnondnon_medic0",
"ainvpknlmstpsnonwnondnon_medic1",
"ainvpknlmstpsnonwnondnon_medic2",
"ainvpknlmstpsnonwnondnon_medic3",
"ainvpknlmstpsnonwnondnon_medic4",
"ainvpknlmstpsnonwnondnon_medic5"
];
seems to work for me
lone glade
@warm gorge use playMoveNow
it's also possible you're switching to an other action while it's playing
remember that those actions are supposed to be chained
it's the start of a loop of actions
warm gorge
@lone glade playMoveNow made no difference. No matter what I try I can't seem to get it to work :/ @wary vine That works, but not the animation I wanted
peak plover
Remote exec in a loop like that ๐ฏ ๐ฉ
lone glade
@warm gorge does the animation "freeze" after the first loop?
if that's the case it's perfectly normal, like I said it's the start of a loop
warm gorge
My character does a weird animation to pull out a weapon, but then just goes to idle standing animation and I can hear the animation play but can't see anything happen. What makes it weird is sometimes if I switch into first person I can see the animation playing normal for a couple of seconds. Not sure whats going on
lone glade
dunno, the start of the loop plays for me :/
warm gorge
Yeah im testing this in singleplayer, not sure if that will affect anything, but yeah the unit is local
Would it have anything to do with the character/side? Im using a civilian for this
meager heart
a lot of animations based on unit weapon position, like in hands/on back... lowered, also weapon type... pistol/rifle/launcher/throw... maybe that is the problem
lone glade
ah, true

no idea about civilians... but afaik doesn't matter (side i mean) ๐คท

Hey I have two questions, related to each other:
I'm working on a sector control mission. The idea is that once the sector has been captured a transport boat should spawn in the river nearby the sector. This is the script I'm using for it:
`ship_safepos = [getPos module, 1,150,10,2] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos;
ship_marker_name = format ["mrk_ship%1", random 100];
ship_marker = createMarker [ship_marker_name, ship_safepos];
ship_marker setMarkerType "hd_dot";
ship_marker setMarkerText "Transport";
ship = "uns_PBR_M10" createVehicle getMarkerPos ship_marker;
if (isServer) then { ["SpawnNotification",["A Transport ship has just spawned in"]] remoteExec ["BIS_fnc_showNotification",-2,true]; };
if (!isServer) then { ["SpawnNotification",["A Transport ship has just spawned in"]] call BIS_fnc_showNotification; };`
Code itself works, HOWEVER - the ship spawns near the beach and it's getting "beached" - meaning I can get inside the ship but I can't move since it's stuck on the ground. Do you know a simple way to prevent that? (Changing findsafepos parameters doesn't solve the issue).
Related question: To have a workaround for this issue I've put together a script that would push the boat a little bit and get it unstuck for the ground:
if((veh isKindOf "Car") OR (veh isKindOf "Ship") OR (veh isKindOf "Air")) then { displayName = getText(configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> (typeOf _veh) >> "displayName"); upp = format["Pushing %1",displayName]; hint upp; speed = 8.5; veh setVelocity [ (vel select 0) + (sin dir * speed), (vel select 1) + (cos dir * speed), (vel select 2) ]; };
This works locally, but not on dedicated server, I guess battleye prevents execution of this script because of considering it a cheat? I wasn't really able to properly diagnose what's the issue here. Does any one of you have a "vehicle push" script that would work on the server?
lethal ingot
Making shoreMode = 0 in BIS_fnc_findSafePos didn't help?
It's default, yes, but this is arma 3 ๐
Also you could blacklist an area with blacklistPos in BIS_fnc_findSafePos if your boat spawns at exact place
formal vigil
Hmm... I've set only waterMode = 2 so it must be in water.
I didn't set shoreMode, as you said default = 0 => does not have to be at a shore, but, as you said - IT'S ARMA. LOL ๐
I will try setting the shoreMode explicitly to 0, but frankly I doubt it will help.
lone glade
don't use findSafePos, use selectBestPlaces instead, you're much more likely to get a better spot
formal vigil
aaah, I see, and then do a spawn_position = result select 0; for getting the position, right?
lone glade
yep
just don't use a precision that is too high, 5-10 sources max

Does anyone know where I find the RscDebugConsolePublic display class?
formal vigil
In ui_f_data.pbo there is directory under \GUI\RscCommon\RscDebugConsole but I'm not sure if this is what you want.
supple vine
So there's the "user" animation source that allows script-driven animations in weapon.cfg. Any idea if it works? I wasn't able to find any weapons with defined user animation sources.
I'd like to hide/unhide part of vest depending on scripting
clever mantle
@formal vigil Since those are all .paa files, I don't think that's exactly what I'm asking for, but thanks for trying, I'm searching for the sqf implementation of RscDebugConsolePublic, you can call it via the admin cรกmera by pressing F1, or via the debug console createDialog RscDebugConsolePublic
Those .paa's appear to be more engine related
formal vigil
I think they're just images you can open with TexView containing the elements for that window you're referring.

Yeah they are pictures used in the ESC-Screen regular engine debug console aswell as the dialog I'm looking for, I just can't find the code for it.

Isn't the debug console hard coded? I don't think it works when disabled.
Even if you create the display, the engine implementation is disabled. And if it were enabled, you could just open the pause menu.

is it possible to do this "_Whitelist = [] spawn TW_fnc_name;"
or this _Whitelist = buttonSetAction [1603, "[] spawn TW_fnc_name"];
blissful phoenix
Spawn returns the ID of the spawn code, not what the code returns https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/spawn
And buttonSetAction returns nothing https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/buttonSetAction
So neither of those will do what you want
If you can use call in the first example it should work

Well both set a variable. And both are possible so the answer is yes. Though it doesn't make much sense to do it

It's a big array. that you are not using. and some listbox code.
