Do you know how to disable rotation of the text from draw3Dicon command.
Text is always facing to player.
I want text to stay static not facing to player

#

Angle parameter is for icon itself not the text.

still forum Apr 23, 2018, 10:52 AM

#

the text is not 3D. looking from 90° angle would make it invisible

pulsar drum Apr 23, 2018, 12:47 PM

#

Nope it is turning and facing all the time to player

austere granite Apr 23, 2018, 1:09 PM

#

not possible

#

it's 2D text and 2D icons

#

if you want 3D behavior for anything like that you'd have to come up with a different solution

pulsar drum Apr 23, 2018, 1:10 PM

#

What is 2D ?
Command is draw3Dicon

austere granite Apr 23, 2018, 1:10 PM

#

because it draws an icon in 3D space

#

it doesn't draw a 3D icon (And textures aren't 3D, so that wouldnt make sense anyway)

#

And the command is drawIcon3D

pulsar drum Apr 23, 2018, 1:12 PM

#

Yes
Text is 2d but when I move 360 around it is as well

austere granite Apr 23, 2018, 1:12 PM

#

pulsar drum Apr 23, 2018, 1:14 PM

Ok not possible to keep it static to not face to me

lone glade Apr 23, 2018, 1:14 PM

#

wat

austere granite Apr 23, 2018, 1:15 PM

#

he wants the 2d texture to behave like its 3D, so if you draw an icon in a given position and walk around it, you'll look at it like it's tilted, instead of it facing directly to the player

winter rose Apr 23, 2018, 1:15 PM

#

no, it's drawn IN 2 DIMENSIONS on your screen
it is NOT a 3D object with one texture

austere granite Apr 23, 2018, 1:15 PM

#

Like it's not a crazy thing, it's just not possible

winter rose Apr 23, 2018, 1:15 PM

#

what you could do is use something that allows you to retexture it (helipad? blood stain? poster? IDK) , set it vertical, and apply your icon texture to it

austere granite Apr 23, 2018, 1:16 PM

#

You'd need to create an object an setobjecttexture to that and somehow put whatever text you want in that texture (which you cant load either without filepatching)

#

aka not possible

little eagle Apr 23, 2018, 3:10 PM

#

Or maybe he's just confused by the serialization and thinks the number shown in the debug console or after using str and format mean anything.

gleaming oyster Apr 23, 2018, 3:10 PM

#

He needs a floatie.

Fix your script, don't use str on large numbers.

gleaming oyster Apr 23, 2018, 3:10 PM

#

Conversion loses accuracy yes?

little eagle Apr 23, 2018, 3:11 PM

#

It's more of serialization creating scientific notaton that can not be recompiled.

#

Don't use format or str on large or small numbers. That's the only thing you can do.

#

str/format etc. and compile etc. are not bijective.

winter rose Apr 23, 2018, 3:16 PM

had to google that one…

1: A -> B
2: B -> A
1 and 2 bijektive, e.g. BIS_fnc_netId, BIS_fnc_objectFromNetId.

#

1: A -> B
2: B -> 💩
1 and 2 not bijective, e.g. str and compile.

#

Either avoid the conversion, or choose something bijective if there is something.

So how does it compare with a waitUntil {time > _timeEnd}?

still forum Apr 23, 2018, 5:40 PM

sleep is a single number comparison in engine. Which is like a nanosecond per frame. IF the script even get's checked by the scheduler

createVehicle, waitUntil vehicle is dead >> create vehicle again

By not using the function, but the module instead. Those modules have a ui and it probably says more explicitly what everything does.

You just cannot execute anything when no script is being executed.

The tick time doesn't care about frames tho.

unborn ether Apr 23, 2018, 7:21 PM

Well, still the best to get one time from server, or execute time-based action on it (if its so critical ofc). Relying on current PC time for critical tasks never been good for me.

#

AFAIK time and even serverTime is different for each connected PC?

little eagle Apr 23, 2018, 7:23 PM

time starts at 0 when you JIP and diverges, serverTime is synched at JIP, but also diverges afaik.

Also serverTime is broken in SP.

Since z is always 0, and you're using
OBJECT distance ARRAY
which assumes the ARRAY is AGL,
I'd use distance2D for the correct distance of those two positions. Yours is always a bit larger atm.

#

Alt add this before the distance check:

_markerPos set [2, getTerrainHeightASL _markerPos];
_markerPos = ASLToAGL _markerPos;

If you use setObjectTexture with your own custom textures, I believe you’ll want to get the path of the actual mission pbo if that’s where your texture is stored. There’s a trick on how to do it, don’t remember what it was.

@frank ruin If you want to make CCTV you can use r2t as preview, its quality is usually not so good on far distances even on high settings. Most of players turn that to low, so its even worse. To actually spectate, its better to use actual camera.

@misty trail one option would be to have a Boolean server variable, "lockAirSupport" for instance, that is set accordingly when you want to allow or disallow air support calls. Then in your script where you actually launch the air support, call your "AirSupportCooldown.sqf" that sets the variable to disallow further calls, sleeps ~n~ minutes, and then resets the variable. Maybe even send a hint to the player(s) saying the air support asset is available again

@real tartan allAirports, but your issue is maybe, that you're not covering not the whole map with nearestObjects. You put a circle inside a square and therefore, the edges are not filled out, You only scan pi/4*100% of the total area of the map.
Use

_mapSize] * squrt 2

I don't think that would necessarily account for sloped terrain, but that would only skip objects at the edges of the map.

still forum Apr 25, 2018, 8:10 PM

#

very few people use it as a exitWith replacement. Because you can also return stuff and get the return value with catch. over multiple scopes

#

But I don't remember seeing anyone that actually uses it for error handling like it was made for.

little eagle Apr 25, 2018, 8:11 PM

#

I don't think it's a good idea to just quit a script mid execution. At least let it fail gracefully.

errant jasper Apr 25, 2018, 8:12 PM

#

Good to know. Rather limited use then. I think the couple of times I need to do similar I used goto and a _result variable. But then again, in those cases I was not calling too deep.

little eagle Apr 25, 2018, 8:12 PM

private _normalVector = vectorNormalized _rotationAxis;
private _sinTheta = sin _theta;
private _cosTheta = cos _theta;

// Rodrigues Rotation Formula;
// https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/2d63efa533bdbd776434af1a7af3cdafaff1d578
(_vector vectorMultiply _cosTheta) vectorAdd
((_normalVector vectorCrossProduct _vector) vectorMultiply _sinTheta) vectorAdd
(_normalVector vectorMultiply ((_normalVector vectorDotProduct _vector) * (1 - _cosTheta)))

This one is pure magic to me.

still forum Apr 25, 2018, 8:12 PM

#

That's not magic sqf to me though. just magic math

little eagle Apr 25, 2018, 8:12 PM

#

Yeah.

#

Actual SQF magic:

fullCrew vehicle _unit select {(_x select 0) isEqualTo _unit} param [0, [nil, ""]] select 1

still forum Apr 25, 2018, 8:13 PM

#

agreed. very much. if you don't know the commands and which ones takes one/two arguments.. you're screwed

#

Actually... let's...

fullCrew vehicle _unit select {_x#0 isEqualTo _unit} param [0, [nil, ""]] select 1

errant jasper Apr 25, 2018, 8:14 PM

#

That expression gets the role of the unit?

#

*vehicle role?

little eagle Apr 25, 2018, 8:14 PM

#

Yes.

#

Like assignedVehicleRole, except that it doesn't screw you over if you have an AI leader in the group of _unit.

#

Minus the "assigned" part.

ruby breach Apr 25, 2018, 8:16 PM

#

You could always make use of the expectedArrayCount parameter of param to make it look like more magic.

little eagle Apr 25, 2018, 8:16 PM

#

I suspect you can use findIf and speed it up a bit.

#

And make it even more unreadable.

#

(_turrets select {{_x == _weapon} count (_vehicle weaponsTurret _x) > 0}) param [0, []]

Is there a way to decrease or increase vectoring for VTOLs? I got one flying over my head with 700 km/h but the rotors are still facing upwards 😄

meager heart Apr 25, 2018, 9:29 PM

this maybe https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Actions#VectoringDown @knotty mantle

knotty mantle Apr 25, 2018, 9:30 PM

#

Yeah i am sadly not having a unit inside that vehicle.

little eagle Apr 25, 2018, 9:31 PM

Put a dummy in and then delete it.

Well i wanted to stay away from pilots as they tend to f*ck up the flight. But i´ll test if he has an impact.

#

Thanks working nearly perfect. Somehow they dont want it down to the last pitch. but it is way better than before 😃

little eagle Apr 25, 2018, 9:45 PM

nearly perfect
So "flawed"?

is there an event handler for a vehicles ammo changing?

ruby breach Apr 25, 2018, 9:53 PM

#

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Event_Handlers#Reloaded

#

Passes newMagazine and oldMagazine

glad venture Apr 25, 2018, 9:55 PM

#

@ruby breach would this cover loading from something like a HEMTT?

little eagle Apr 25, 2018, 9:56 PM

#

It's only for soldiers I thought, but not sure.

ruby breach Apr 25, 2018, 9:56 PM

#

Biki says soldiers and vehicles, but I'm not sure myself

glad venture Apr 25, 2018, 9:56 PM

#

im trying to disarm a ghosthawk

little eagle Apr 25, 2018, 9:57 PM

#

would this cover loading from something like a HEMTT?
Probably not as reloading is the act of changing the current magazine, not adding to the magazine cargo.

#

_heli setVehicleAmmo 0;

#

Done.

#

???

glad venture Apr 25, 2018, 9:58 PM

#

I do want chaff and flares, and also don't want Hemtts to give it minigun rounds

little eagle Apr 25, 2018, 10:00 PM

#

So you want to remove the weapons, not the mags?

glad venture Apr 25, 2018, 10:00 PM

#

yeah or just remove only the gun ammo

little eagle Apr 25, 2018, 10:00 PM

#

Well, what is it?

glad venture Apr 25, 2018, 10:01 PM

#

if i disable the gun, will it be on all helicopters?

little eagle Apr 25, 2018, 10:01 PM

#

Magazines can be reloaded, weapons are gone outside of scripts.

#

if i disable the gun, will it be on all helicopters?
Not necessarily.

glad venture Apr 25, 2018, 10:02 PM

#

is there a way to check how much ammo is in specifically the gun and remove only the gun's ammo? I could just waitUntil the ammo is not 0, remove it and call the function again

little eagle Apr 25, 2018, 10:02 PM

#

Which gun?

glad venture Apr 25, 2018, 10:04 PM

#

the ghosthawk one

little eagle Apr 25, 2018, 10:04 PM

#

Trying to help, but this is hard to follow.

glad venture Apr 25, 2018, 10:04 PM

#

the M134 minigun

little eagle Apr 25, 2018, 10:05 PM

#

Init box?

glad venture Apr 25, 2018, 10:06 PM

#

it'll be spawned through script but I can add the commands to the script

little eagle Apr 25, 2018, 10:07 PM

#

private _mainTurret = [0];
private _weapons = _heli weaponsTurret _mainTurret;

{
    _heli removeWeaponTurret [_x, _mainTurret];
} forEach _weapons;

#

This may or may not mess up how you can aim as gunner or turn your head.

#

Could add the dummy weapon to fix that. Not sure, haven't touched helis in years.

lone glade Apr 25, 2018, 10:09 PM

#

afaik the view limits are in the turret not the weapon

little eagle Apr 25, 2018, 10:09 PM

#

Yeah, but I vaguely remember not being able to turn at all without weapon.

#

Which is I assume why FakeWeapon exists.

lone glade Apr 25, 2018, 10:10 PM

#

true

little eagle Apr 25, 2018, 10:10 PM

#

"true" or "possibly true"?

lone glade Apr 25, 2018, 10:12 PM

possibly true

true

little eagle Apr 25, 2018, 10:41 PM

I'm having flashbacks here.

glad venture Apr 25, 2018, 10:42 PM

#

should I use a RSC frame or picture or what

Any idea how to make rifle optics work on pistols like joint rails on crack? I've googled that a few different ways with no results.

little eagle Apr 26, 2018, 1:43 AM

#

You can't do that with scripts.

#

Compatible optics are defined in config. Addon config, so you need an addon for that,

tough abyss Apr 26, 2018, 1:43 AM

#

darn

#

also if i was to post a script here, would you be able to tell me why it's behaving funny in multiplayer locking people other than the script executer in place?

little eagle Apr 26, 2018, 1:45 AM

#

Maybe.

tough abyss Apr 26, 2018, 1:46 AM

how'd you do that code snippit

```sqf

#

Who wrote that script, Slay?

tough abyss Apr 26, 2018, 1:48 AM

#

me with a bunch of random bits

#

i'm winging it

little eagle Apr 26, 2018, 1:48 AM

#

May I ask what the reasoning behind those sleep 0.1 is?

tough abyss Apr 26, 2018, 1:49 AM

#

Perhaps it's a placebo but i feel like it if has too much going on at once it doesn't do all of it

#

so i tossed them in there

little eagle Apr 26, 2018, 1:49 AM

#

Okay, all they do is obscure what's going on.

#

What's the goal of that script?

viral gust Apr 26, 2018, 1:50 AM

#

And what drones battery only lasts 4 minutes :P

tough abyss Apr 26, 2018, 1:50 AM

#

to have a very arcadey quick drone deploy like wildlands then have it die in 4 minutes, but instead get deleted

little eagle Apr 26, 2018, 1:50 AM

#

Spawn a drone and kill it after 4 minutes?

tough abyss Apr 26, 2018, 1:51 AM

#

basically yeah but have it instantly connect and control when you press the button

little eagle Apr 26, 2018, 1:51 AM

#

I think it would be cool if the drone actually ran out of fuel and crashed.

tough abyss Apr 26, 2018, 1:51 AM

#

it works kinda as intended but it locks people besides the person executing it

#

i'm unsure what is doing it, have yet to go through and disable bits to see, was wondering if you seen anything right off the back that stands out that might disable another players controls

little eagle Apr 26, 2018, 1:52 AM

#

How is the script executed?

tough abyss Apr 26, 2018, 1:52 AM

#

via a radio trigger

little eagle Apr 26, 2018, 1:52 AM

#

Hmm, not sure how those work...

tough abyss Apr 26, 2018, 1:53 AM

#

press 0 twice then you get some type of options depending on what you put in the activation i think off hand

#

would have to go check eden

#

but i'm not sure if it executes that for the entire team, or just the player that clicked it

little eagle Apr 26, 2018, 1:53 AM

#

That's what I'm not sure about either.

tough abyss Apr 26, 2018, 1:53 AM

#

actually come to think of it, both players deploy drones

#

when one calls it

little eagle Apr 26, 2018, 1:54 AM

#

It seems to me that the script is executed for every connected machine then. Or maybe at least for everyone in that group.

tough abyss Apr 26, 2018, 1:54 AM

#

it seems to be for the group, i've yet to see ais have them but any obvious way to negate that?

little eagle Apr 26, 2018, 1:55 AM

#

Considered using
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addAction
?

tough abyss Apr 26, 2018, 1:55 AM

#

it would probably be more accessible that route

little eagle Apr 26, 2018, 1:55 AM

#

The statement ("script") is only executed for the client that clicked on the action.
