Would BIS_fnc_addScriptedEventHandler be enough for mission like liberation or should we look into CBA custom event system?
What is the biggest advantage from using cba system? Better locality handling?
polar folio
doesn't it depend on the event in question? i think the BIS stuff is limited to certain events. mostly end game and zeus stuff by the looks of the wiki
hollow thistle
You can define your own events via bis function.
cosmic lichen
@astral tendon Done https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_dynamicText
astral tendon
Thanks
hollow thistle
The listed events are events that are fired by various bis scripts.
polar folio
i think i'm blind. can you point me to the function?
hollow thistle
the one I named...
for eg. ```sqf
[true, "KPLIB_sector_capture", {hint "Sector captured" + _this select 0}] call BIS_fnc_addScriptedEventHandler;
And later you can fire it via:
[missionNamespace, "KPLIB_sector_capture", ["sector name"]] call BIS_fnc_callScriptedEventHandler;
I'm just wondering what is the advantage of CBA handlers.
meager heart
we have default ownerchanged scripted EH for the sectors
little eagle
Scripted event is always on the local machine, while cba has global, remote, target, server event etc.
hollow thistle
I'm not using bis module for sectors @meager heart
little eagle
Also, the overhead of scripted events is pretty bad from what I remember.
hollow thistle
For CBA too or BIS stuff only?
I guess internaly it holds something like an array of handlers and searches for one with given name to be called?
Some overhead might be acceptable if it does not fire frequently.
little eagle
It's a hash on a dummy "object".
Yeah, the functions are stored in an array.
Well, some CBA events fire every frame.
In medical and fatigue.
hollow thistle
Ok, ty for info. I think I will go with bis events for now as I want to use it on things that dont fire "too much" eg. "sector captured", "player bought unit" etc.
little eagle

Is it possible to run a script once on server start?
little eagle
init.sqf
digital jacinth
if you do not want to add the script in every mission you could also make a mod which runs that script post or even pre init.
fringe yoke
@little eagle Isn't that for the start of a mission?
I want a file that runs when a dedicated server is started
digital jacinth
That is not how things work. If there is no mission loaded, technically there are no userscripts running.
so you pretty much just want a script to run once on misison start
little eagle
Well, depends on what Brett wants to do.
There's always a way. I got groups renamed in the lobby.
little eagle
The question was if it was possible, not feasible. But depending on what's to do here, it may be easy although obscure.
fringe yoke
I am fine if I need to use a mod, but the thing I want to do takes upwards of 10 seconds.
and does not require a mission be loaded
little eagle
Check put CfgFunctions preStart or if CBA, Extended_PreStart_EventHandlers.
That's some addon config classes that can get either a function to run or a config script at session start.
fringe yoke
ah, can't believe I didn't check there. that should work. thanks.
little eagle
It is very strangely named. "preStart", to me it seems like, a program cannot do anything "before started".
onGameBoot = 1;
or something is how I woulda shoulda coulda.
fringe yoke
too bad there isn't something like postMissionInit and postClientInit / postServerInit
that would make a bit more sense
fringe yoke
I know, just saying it would be nice to have more EHs with more intuitive names
little eagle
True.
But it seems like the scripting community was/is just as bad as it as BI.
Or maybe it's consistency, consistency on a low level.
tame portal
@fringe yoke If you have your mission on autostart you could use https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/serverTime to determine if the server just started or not
fringe yoke
The server does not just run one mission
preStart looks like it should work, but I can't test atm
little eagle
What are you doing? Keep in mind the mission namespace is whiped at mission start, so use ui namespace if this is for caching.
fringe yoke
I am dumping an all in one config to disk
tame portal
If you make it persistent and autoinit it will pick aossion though if correctly configured
But that would mean you'd either have to set one specific mission with the code to check if the server just started
Or have the code be in all missions
little eagle
If the server is on auto start anyway, one could just set a flag in ui namespace to not do the same thing twice and use preInit. OPTiX, doesn't sound like a work around like that is needed here,
Much more reliable than serverTime guessing.
tame portal
Posted it before knowing what he wanted to do 😅
Didn't know UI namespace persists over mission change
little eagle
That's the point of it. And it's another horrible name.
It should be named caching namespace, because that's its main purpose really.
Or sessionNamespace.
cosmic lichen
I added that info to the wiki.
tame portal
That's a a really terrible name then......
I would have NEVER expected uiNamespace to be session persistent
peak plover
morning performance 🤔
So
would there be any performance improvement in sqf
I have an array with data for ai/groups
Which will be like [group,patroldistance,cachingdistance etc. etc.]
right now I do
_aiArray call cache;
_aiArray call patrol;
_aiArray call alter;
etc.
in all of those I use params
if I just use params before calling those and then
just call them with no parameters
It doesn't do those params commands and assign new variables, whcih are used in all of those
winter rose
yes, params does local variables (_var)
peak plover
So I'm wasting a lot of time doing the local variables
winter rose
?
peak plover
Like in every function
It just creates new local variables
Wasting precious fps
So my question is
Using an object and getVariable instead of that array. Would actually be a lot slower, right?
If I have an array and I lay out the data before hand
Then call all the functions
vs
I call the functions and lay the data needed out in every one of those
vs
winter rose
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/call
you can do
params ["_myVar1", "_myVar2"];
[_myVar1, _myVar2] call blah1;
[_myVar1, _myVar2] call blah2;
[_myVar1, _myVar2] call blah3;
I call the function and grab data from an object instead
I can just do
_aiArray params ['_cache','_patrol','_altert','_fight'];
call ai_patrol;
call ai_cache;
call ai_fight;
and those variables will be available in there anyway
This shoudl be faster then saving into a new namespace anyway?
Another thing
wouldn't it be even faster
if I have multiple arrays
and I use index
winter rose
please, one big message
winter rose
_aiArray params ['_cache','_patrol','_altert','_fight'];
[_cache, _patrol, _altert, _fight] call ai_patrol;
[_cache, _patrol, _altert, _fight] call ai_cache;
[_cache, _patrol, _altert, _fight] call ai_fight;
yeah
but
I don't even have to relay the variables to the function
If I already define them
_var1 = '5';
call {
systemChat _var1;
};
does this ↑ work?
peak plover
Sure
winter rose
so you're good to go with your solution
peak plover
yeah
But
I'm contemplating getting variables from a new namespace I create.
The new namespace would be easer to access, but
_cache = aiNamespace getVariable ['ai_cache',[300,500]];
vs
_cache = aiArr_cache select _i;
What are you trying to do exactly ?
peak plover
optimize
winter rose
does it need optimising?
because if so, you will get more performance working on these:
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Code_Optimisation
peak plover
I realized iterating through ~500 ai groups will take me ~2 seconds
but this is because my fps is ~50-100
Sometimes fps goes lower than that.
So at around 20 fps it takes like 8 seconds to iterate through 500 ai groups
And so on
winter rose
@peak plover why not use missionNamespace on the server then? a public variable, no underscore, but without transmitting to the client
peak plover
I was using a location for namespace
winter rose
I don't see the point, but okay
peak plover
_cache = cacheArr select _i;
_patrol = patrolArr select _i;
_fight = cacheArr select _i;
_alert = cacheArr select _i;
call ai_fight;
call ai_patrol;
call ai_cache;
vs
_aiArray params ['_cache','_patrol','_altert','_fight'];
call ai_patrol;
call ai_cache;
call ai_fight;
vs
_cache = _namespace getVariable 'ai_cache';
_patrol = _namespace getVariable 'ai_patrol';
_alert = _namespace getVariable 'ai_alert';
call ai_fight;
call ai_patrol;
call ai_cache;
#2.
peak plover
Is it faster to have multiple arrays in 1 namespace containing all info and use iteration.
Or is it faster to have 1 array and keep all the data for a group in there
or is it faster to use a namespace
peak plover
This is not premature 'tho
this is after the fact
That I'm being limited to ~200 groups to keep things running 'ok'
winter rose
use solution #2 , and as I said:
does it need optimising?
because if so, you will get more performance working on these:
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Code_Optimisation
a poor var assignation is not going to save you 5 FPS.
also, use solution #2: params
peak plover
It will if there's tons of data and tons of iterations that I need to do < 3 seconds
If it's more than 5 seconds, fast moving vehicles will cause players to see ai spawn in in front of them when uncaching etc.
even from switching from private [] to private _blah I saw like huge gains a while ago
tender fossil
Which one of these is correct syntax?
if (_isHQdeployed && _i == 1 && _extra == "") then {
or
if ( (_isHQdeployed && _i == 1) && (_extra == "") ) then {
The latter I assume?
digital jacinth
All of them. since those are all and conditions all of them have to be true
grouping them results into the same result every time
all you can do is optimize the condition so it returns false earlier without the need to check all 3
tender fossil
Ah, I see it was a bad example, let me make a new one
(Haven't drunk my morning coffee yet lol)
if ( (_isHQdeployed == 1) && (_extra == "") ) then {
or
if ( _isHQdeployed == 1 && _extra == "" ) then {
both equivalent
tender fossil
I see, thanks! 😃
winter rose
if you want to stop on the first encountered "false", you may want to use lazy evaluation like
if ( _isHQdeployed && { _i == 1 } && { _extra == "" }) then {
but on such small conditions it is not worth it
tender fossil
Yup
winter rose
parenthesis are useful if you have an || (or) and you want a certain order to be evaluated
tender fossil

I've asked this question before, but unfortunately wasn't able to figure out the issue. Does anyone know what could cause the 'Continue' button in a RscDisplayDebriefing to force the player out of the server fully compared to just the lobby role selection area? I'm calling this: ["Abort", true, false] call BIS_fnc_endMission;
Sometimes its fully out of the server, other times its just to the role selection screen. Not sure what causes either.
winter rose
I don't know if this could be the cause.
if you use something else, does it work properly?
warm gorge
What do you mean by use something else?
winter rose
["Abort", true, true] call BIS_fnc_endMission;
"EveryoneLost" call BIS_fnc_endMissionServer;
something like that
warm gorge
This is just per player, I don't want the mission to end for everyone. It's basically called in a script which is called when the player clicks the abort button in the escape menu. My way overrides the default Abort button and runs this custom script instead, which ends with ["Abort", true, false] call BIS_fnc_endMission;
Just very confused why it's only sometimes kicking them out fully
winter rose
maybe this specific command is not the problem, it may be a global issue
warm gorge
@winter rose Figured out the issue. I was running a script that closed all open displays and I didn't exclude some important ones which seemed to cause this issue

Hi gents, im trying to select a trigger via a name given to it as triggerText setTriggerText as the trigger is dynamically created and its variableName is not known. Is it possible to select a trigger near a marker (its spawned with same dimensions as a marker)?
_list = (getMarkerPos _mkr) nearObjects 1;
systemChat str(_list); systemChat str(_mkr);
_trigger = _list select 0;
if (typeOf _trigger == "EmptyDetector") then { systemChat format ["Deleted %1",_trigger];deleteVehicle _trigger;} else {systemChat format ["Tried to delete %1 but it wasn't a trigger ;(",_trigger];};
Ignore the shitty debugging, im just trying to see that it is returning the correct thing, but unfortunately it always returns https://i.imgur.com/YeRfC82.png "helipadempty.p3d" however when I do it as a player with:
_list = player nearObjects 1;

systemChat str(_trigger);
When im right ontop of the position, it returns the correct thing of <no shape>
still forum
you have to get the data out of both variants @peak plover
Big arrays don't have performance impact. select is constant time if you know the index that you want
So. Go for the route that needs less select's
peak plover
Yes, but is it better to store a lot of data in multiple arrays or multiple smaller arrays in a big array?
Okay less selects is so much prettier too
still forum
"better".
with the big array you first have to get the small array out
and with multiple arrays the question is how do you get to them?`
Above you showed using getVariable to get the multiple smaller arrays.
and as I said getVariable is slower
peak plover
gotcha
still forum
I'd say have one big array. With smaller inside.
And always make sure to modify by reference if you do lots of modification

for some clarity. https://i.imgur.com/TP7MkmS.png. The red one has a trigger created over it. I know the name of the red marker and the triggerText of the redMarker but I can't delete the trigger because I need to know its name
still forum
why are you only getting the first element that was found? What if the trigger is the second? you should check all elements that nearObjects returns and find the trigger
peak plover
daring pawn
Well firstly when I increase the area doing it the first way, its not even detected unless its via "player". Secondly my theory was if the range was 1 and the trigger was spawned exactly on top of the marker, there was no way it could be anything but the trigger in element 1
peak plover
So it's like clear squares mission/
still forum
Insurgency! :3
peak plover
My advice is that having a trigger per square with house will cause lag
Don't do it
Create markers - > markers into array - > ```sqf
{
private ["_side","_marker"];
_side = nil;
_marker = _x;
_pos = getmarkerPos _marker;
{
if (position _x inArea _marker) exitWith {
if (side _x isEqualTo east) then {_side = 0;};
if (side _x isEqualTo resistance) then {_side = 0;};
if (side _x isEqualTo west) then {_side = 2;};
};
}count allunits;
if (!isNil "_side")then{
[_side,_marker]call {
params ["_side","_marker"];
private ["_side","_marker"];
if (_side isEqualTo 0) exitWith {
_marker setMarkerColor "ColorEAST";
_alpha = markerAlpha _marker;
_marker setMarkerAlpha 1;
_marker setMarkerAlphaLocal _Alpha;
};
if (_side isEqualTo 1) exitWith {
_marker setMarkerColor "ColorGUER";
_alpha = markerAlpha _marker;
_marker setMarkerAlpha 1;
_marker setMarkerAlphaLocal _Alpha;
};
if (_side isEqualTo 2) exitWith {
_marker setMarkerColor "ColorWEST";
_alpha = markerAlpha _marker;
_marker setMarkerAlpha 1;
_marker setMarkerAlphaLocal _Alpha;
};
};
};
true
} count ins_gridmarkers;
Yea essentially like Insurgency. Im making everything myself mostly out of learning and some more control of things
still forum
don't use triggers. Just store the list of markers and periodically go through all of them to check them
peak plover
I made that a few years ago, use that for inspiration if you wanna
daring pawn
So at the moment, the player themselves checks if the square is clear and all that works just fine. I've got the enemy unit spawning/caching all made myself with no dramas (its probably kinda horrific but its pretty efficient)
Oh so it would be better to loop through the markers?
peak plover
trigger per square <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< markers in array and check them via inArea or sth like that
You can heavily optimize with findIf or such
LMAO, just realized I have params and private array 🤦🏻
daring pawn
was about to ask why both ~_~
daring pawn
Nah aha I didn't plan on it. So really quickly, how are you suggesting to loop through the markers to achieve the same effect that I have currently with my triggers that are spawned on the markers?
The triggers are much larger than the marker itself so it spawns the units for that marker way before the player is actually in it
peak plover
Ohh, you use the triggers to spawn the units?
daring pawn
Yea yea. So basically what I need is, when the square is blue(or void of any hostiles anymore) to delete the trigger so the process I have doesn't then spawn more units
I've got all the bits im describing already except for the ability to delete the trigger
because I can't give the trigger a variable name (thanks arma) and don't know how to detect it any other way
daring pawn
once I can select it and delete it I can work it from there
just a nudge/some pseudo is awesome
peak plover
create a location for every square (createLocation) On server or HC.
Create a marker and setVaraible to the location. (also save a variable that u can identify this location from normal locations)
loop through the PLAYERS (there are less players then grids) [bear in mind locations are only available to where they are created] {if headless client crashes everythign breaks}
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/nearestLocations
if player has a location ~700 meters -> activate it (spawn ai) [you can add a setVariable (location) and onKilled EH for the ai to save the amount for that location]
Move activated location to separate array (you can check if the activated location has no players near it now(~1000m) and (delete) the units if no players at it.
For persistence you can have a function that creates a savable array from the locations and their variables or sth like that.
You can access the information like marker or alive units or whatever for that specific grid with _location getVariable ['insLoc_marker',''] etc.
Might not be the fastest, but quite easy to manage as opposed to arrays for everything. Location and setVariable is like Object Orientated Scripting. U can also delete a location and such and such
daring pawn
hmm, in the long term that does sound more ideal
Need to redo a fair chop of things, but im getting close on malden already to probably too many triggers and i've hit a wall a bit with my issue as above
Good food for thought and I think really the best way to do it. cheers @peak plover i'll need to rework things
peak plover
Yeah, I loaded up a insurgency mission on takistan with all triggers and the performance was TERRIBLE
daring pawn
It goes great on Malden or smaller. Any bigger, yea performance really eats it
peak plover
Another cool trick you can do is check if the locations have a location near them and spawn a vehicle or a bigger enemy force if there's a huge cluster of grids without any manual input on setting up cities etc.
Like here
debug circles
daring pawn
Oh yea fuark i didn't think of that benefit. I started to code my stuff around detecting nearby markers and stuff but its a bit messy
peak plover
Don't worry if it's messy
Just make it work
And then iterate over your code and optimize
If you try to make it perfect first time around, you will never get anything done
I literally make some things and then realize I need more features or sth doesn't work as planned, So I just make a copy of the whole thing and start one over while using the original code as inspiration
daring pawn
Yea no nothing i would have got done if I tried it perfect

Feel free to pitch in 😆
lone glade
oh hell naw, i've already given enuff
daring pawn
at my level of knowledge, functional is better than the levels of optimization yourself or commy aim for in larger projects
hollow thistle
I wonder why you wrap it in call {...}; in the forEach? Are doing it to use exitWith as "continue" that you can find in "normal' languages?
exitWith in loop scope "breaks" loop, doesn't it?
still forum
exitWith also breaks the loop without the call didn't read the code
peak plover
in that case
It exits the call <code> block
Not the loop
It's to avoid if (then)
lone glade
you use a call each loop, which is worse
and also doesn't make sense because it's less readable
still forum
^ true
hollow thistle
So you kinda "emulated" continue.
still forum
a simple if would be better
peak plover
It is worse?
lone glade
you could use a switch
hollow thistle
I guess it is less performant as it creates another scope.
peak plover
I did a few tests once and I tried multiple conditons and if (cond)then {} etc.
And i got the fastest results by running the least amount of code everytime
call {
if (cond) exitwith{}
}
means it will only run the necessary checks
if i recall correctly if then else is slower than call if exitwith
in some cases
I didn't test it long enough to know EVERYTHING about it
But I just remembered that call exitwith is fastest way to do it in sqf.
Also I find switch hard to read.
call exitwith just makes sense to me 🤷🏻
lone glade
this function:
https://github.com/alganthe/ACE3ganthe/blob/master/addons/arsenal/functions/fnc_fillRightPanel.sqf
takes 3ms to run
the calls to add the list entries (for 600+ items) take 147ms
peak plover
@lone glade can u swtich the switch with call exitwith ? 🤔
lone glade
if I want to make it slower and less readable sure 😄
lone glade
I think my hand went through my skull after facepalming this hard
still forum
that's because the exitWith actually exits. The switch runs till the end
peak plover
I have concluded the same. I'll use call exitwith until I can prove other methods faster 👆🏻
lone glade
i'm fairly sure that should be the least of your worries right now
still forum
Also...
_nearbyLocations = nearestLocations [position _x,["Invisible"],PMF_ActivationDistance];
_nearbyLocations select {_x getVariable ['loc_isInsLoc',false] && {_x getVariable ['loc_isActive',false]} && {_x call PMB_fnc_activateLocation; false;}};
may not need the false at the end depending on what activateLocation returns
peak plover
and a _newArr = before 2nd line
still forum
no
you are not using that. So why store it in a variable?
the fastest if is _cond && {<true code>}
little eagle
I'm not sure actually. Only if-then-else vs. cond-&&-||
lone glade
the difference in speed is so minimal it may as well not exist^
little eagle
You're the one defending count vs. forEach, alganthe.

Still waiting for alganthe's comment on my script.

Because variables carry over into child scopes which commy just said

Because the assignment operator without private does walk through all parent scopes and changes the variable if the identifier is already used in a parent scope.
Which is why assigment without private is a much more complicated endevour than assignment with private, even though it looks shorter written down as script.

So last sunday we were talking about checking if units are around area. You said that checking with allUnits inAreaArray position "beats all".
I've checked that and it seems that using nearEntities is faster.

don't know... probably fullCrew kinda more reliable way
still forum
@ruby breach it will be faster. But return invalid results.. So it's kinda useless

why _shooter has any?
player addEventHandler ["HandleDamage",
{
params ["_unit","","","_source"];
private _shooter;
if((_source != _unit) && (side group _source == side group _unit) && (lifeState _unit == "INCAPACITATED")) then {
if(!(isPlayer _source) and ({_source in crew _x} count allUnitsUAV > 0)) then { //if UAV crew,
_shooter = (uavControl (objectParent _source)) select 0;
} else { //if just AI or team player
_shooter = _source;
};
[_unit, _shooter] remoteExecCall ["fnc_teamkill_Feed"];
};
}];
because that's not how private keyword works
it should actually be a syntax error.
private is a modifier to =. You don't have a =
also
if(!(isPlayer _source) and ({_source in crew _x} count allUnitsUAV > 0)) then {
_shooter = (uavControl (objectParent _source)) select 0;
} else {
_shooter = _source;
};
->
private _shooter = if(!(isPlayer _source) and ({_source in crew _x} count allUnitsUAV > 0)) then {
(uavControl (objectParent _source)) select 0;
} else {
_source;
};
thx 👍

Attachto to memorypoint, the object attached follow the memorypoint if memorypoint moved by an animation ?
lone glade
nope
well, it does "follow it" but only like it would if you attached it via object center

Does this work?
{
_test1 = _x
{
if (_test1 == _x) then {
...
};
}foreach arr2;
}foreach arr1;
define "work"
yes. It doesn't crash the game and it's not a syntax error.
If you get the value return from the last forEach it crashes your script though
knotty mantle
i dont use the bool outside the second foreach scope. and what exactly crashes this script?
still forum
nothing crashes that script
if you get the returned value from the last forEach it will crash I think
because the first forEach doesn't return anything. And the second...
now you changed the script..
knotty mantle
Yeah to clarify. Sorry
still forum
yes that works. No it doesn't crash anything
knotty mantle
good. thanks 😃
lone glade
if you're asking if you can nest foreach then yes
knotty mantle
It was more a question if it would work this way to bring the magic _x into the second foreach.
knotty mantle
The array items are represented by the magic variable _x.

Why does https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/forEach not list that. I could swear I saw that on there
lone glade
I heard you liked foreach, so I put a foreach inside a foreach inside a foreach huehuehue:

still forum
you must've misheard something
{
if (_x select 0 == _currentID) then {
_currentPage deleteAt _forEachIndex;
};
} foreach _currentPage;
That loop is bugged
lone glade
lies
still forum
Example if it should delete every element like that. It would only delete half
after each you delete it skips one
lone glade
again, big fat phony lies 😛
you can't have 2 stats with the same ID, you can't have 2 stats with the same ID in the same page
still forum
so that array can only contain the ID once?
lone glade
da

Why are you not using find then :U
lone glade
I wrote that whole API in a day, don't expect much from it 😄
still forum
I do though
lone glade
uuurgh, fine, want me to replace it with find? I got an open PR where I could stash it
still forum
nods
lone glade
shit, I was expecting you to never answer back, now I have to replace those 3 lines
wait, I can't count, that's 5, plus I have to find a snarky commit message.

@still forum It's not a syntax error, because it assumes private STRING or private ARRAY and the input is undefined. Since it's an eventhandler and therefore runs unscheduled, it fails silently.
_shooter = "_shooter";
private _shooter;
;~)
still forum
ah right
lone glade
AH, I remembered why I didn't use find ded!
still forum
because there can be more than one? in which case it's still broken?
lone glade
nope, because currentPage indexes are arrays not strings
lone glade
nope
still forum
findIf then
lone glade
oh shit you got me
still forum
Wait
lone glade
THIS WAS MADE BEFORE FINDIF
lone glade
because [ ["ID1"], ["ID2"] ] find "ID1" doesn't work duh
lone glade
nope, still wrong
