Hey I'm trying to load a file from my game dir, I'm currently using #include but this crashes the game when people don't have the file for obvious reasons. So I was wondering if it was possible to load in a file another way that doesn't crash the game. I've looked at how CBA loads the cba_settings.sqf but it tells me the file isn't there.

What I'm trying in the debug console,
TEST = preprocessFile call compile str "server\playerids.sqf";
TEST returns an empty string and tells me with an popup that the file doesn't exist.

The folder structure is like this, Arma 3\server\playerids.sqf.

I'm probably looking over something silly 😋.

still forum May 16, 2018, 2:33 PM

#

loadFile

#

and same as preprocessFile Which you are using completly wrong btw. and #include requires -filePatching

distant egret May 16, 2018, 2:34 PM

#

Shit forgot about loadFile....

lone glade May 16, 2018, 2:34 PM

str "server\playerids.sqf"
when you extra need that string to be a string 😄

still forum May 16, 2018, 2:35 PM

#

Hey Arma. If I call str on this string you'll read my mind and figure out that I want to load a file from my arma directory right?

little eagle May 16, 2018, 2:35 PM

#

You cannot use loadfile to guard against #include.

still forum May 16, 2018, 2:35 PM

#

what?

little eagle May 16, 2018, 2:35 PM

#

Because preprocessing is done before the script runs.

lone glade May 16, 2018, 2:35 PM

#

if there's an issue with a preprocessor command the game will crash, no matter what

#

Right.

still forum May 16, 2018, 2:36 PM

#

and using loadFile instead of #include won't crash the game when the file is not there

#

so yes. He can use loadFile

little eagle May 16, 2018, 2:37 PM

#

Well, loadFile will crash a dedicated server if used during the init phase.

still forum May 16, 2018, 2:37 PM

#

wut

lone glade May 16, 2018, 2:37 PM

#

TIL

little eagle May 16, 2018, 2:37 PM

#

It will put you back into mission select.

#

It's not actually loadFile that is the problem though.

#

It's a general problem with error messages on a dedicated server.

#

All things that would cause an error message popup on a machine with interface will show this behavior, but only if no client is connected to server yet.

#

Thus it works during the mission, when there always is someone connected to the mission.

#

Pick an arbitrary command that causes a gui error message, put it into a servers preInit and select a mission.

#

Easy repro.

still forum May 16, 2018, 2:39 PM

#

init phase means after mission selection though right?

#

so not preStart

little eagle May 16, 2018, 2:40 PM

#

preInit and sometime after. It literally only ends the mission, because the admin isn't connected yet.

#

It will not crash at preStart.

#

preStart it won't even trigger a gui message even on interface machines.

#

The server doesn't actually crash, but the mission is aborted.

still forum May 16, 2018, 2:41 PM

#

to be precise prePreStart before initFunctions. But that doesn't matter much

little eagle May 16, 2018, 2:42 PM

#

Well, it doesn't crash the server in any case, probably because there is no mission that could be aborted, and that is what the problem is.

#

A missing file for #include always crashes the program, and that's so stupid.

#

I mean, how hard can it be to check if the file exists and abort gracfully ffs.

@delicate lotus

i think u can check the values using https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/skillFinal

#

delicate lotus May 16, 2018, 4:55 PM

#

so what im reading there is that all values can reach from 0 to 1 except spotTime which is capped at 0.7...

#

but that page doesnt really tell me how much Custom Difficulty will effect it...
And skillFinal only gives me the final endresult which is also not very helpful...

little eagle May 16, 2018, 4:57 PM

#

It's not capped at 0.7

#

It's multiplied by 0.7.

delicate lotus May 16, 2018, 4:58 PM

#

yeah so if the max skill is set, which 1 and it gets multiplied by 0.7 its capped at 0.7...

#

Or can skill go higher then 1?

little eagle May 16, 2018, 4:58 PM

#

No.

#

"Capped at 0.7" sounds like 0.8 would be turned to 0.7.

#

But actually 0.8 gets turned to 0.8x0.7.

delicate lotus May 16, 2018, 5:00 PM

okay but how does the difficulty which you can set in the game options effect all this?

English and German share some roots, so I imagine it'd be very easy for the reverse. A english speaker to learn german.

As Scandinavian I don't think German and English is that close. Certainly not compared to my native language. Also some sentences are quite different.
English: I am hungry
German: Ich habe hunger. <- (I think - I almost all of what I learned which is still not that much).

meager heart May 16, 2018, 6:27 PM

Russian: ya golodniy

AFAIK, and by googling, that is how it is @little eagle . If you German I ofc won't tell you are wrong.

In Germany it is a noun not verb.

That's just google trying to make it sound nicer. Nobody says "I have hunger" in English I assume, so they pretty it up to get a better sounding translation.

Well, I was more talking about greetings and gestures. Off the top of my head it's blank, but English and German don't share a connection in the literal wording

Can i do this in SQF?

no

you could create arrays though

there are solutions out there that provide this functionality

No mods to see here. Though, this will not survive post a mission, as all objects are deleted once a new mission starts.

but using other solutions

because you want him to create memory leaks

obviously he is a beginner in SQF

for asking that question

Are you retarded? How is that a memory leak.

You lied to him, because you have an obscure problem about something that in practice is a non issue.

queen cargo May 16, 2018, 10:09 PM

#

i did not
i told him solutions are available but require additional stuff
SQF itself has no such capabilities

#

and that is the whole story
no, not possible unless you use workarounds

#

you know that

i know that

#

the whole frking server knows that probably by now

#

yes, there are solutions and no, i did not hid that

little eagle May 16, 2018, 10:10 PM

SQF itself has no such capabilities
I just showed him the opposite!

testObject = createLocation ["Invisible", [0,0,0], 0, 0];
testObject setVariable ["name", "blabla"];
testObject setVariable ["age", "23"];
testObject setVariable ["nick", "gino"];

queen cargo May 16, 2018, 10:10 PM

#

no, you created a game object and added variables onto it

#

that is litterally a workaround to his problem

#

game objects require deletion and are "expensive" in creation compared to pretty much everything SQF value types have

#

they have no GC because game objects are supposed to live till another day, or more specific: till the end of the mission
they require manual deletion

little eagle May 16, 2018, 10:11 PM

#

I dare you to create a location in the game. It takes almost no time.

#

Just try it out.

#

Create a million of them.

Won't tank you at all.

queen cargo May 16, 2018, 10:12 PM

private _foo = [];
private _foo = createLocation ["Invisible", [0, 0, 0], 0, 0];```
wanna know what takes longer?
wanna know what is not deleted at the end of scope?
should i repeat all that over again?

uhh.. the _instigator is the real shooter who remote-controlled AI ?

ruby breach May 16, 2018, 11:01 PM

allUnitsUAV is an array of the UAVs themselves. So {_source in crew _x} count allUnitsUAV will aways return 0

#

~~playableUnits select {isUAVconnected _x} may be a better way~~

But that would just return the first player connected to any UAV

playableUnits select {getConnectedUAV == _source}

#

I don't know. You could try by printing typeOf _source

meager heart May 16, 2018, 11:24 PM

getShotParents will be overkill for that ? 😀

little eagle May 16, 2018, 11:28 PM

There is no need to, when one could just use driver or vehicle instead.

I thought _source is the dummy AI, but it's UAV/UGV itself. 😅

Yeah, stringified objects are pretty useless for debugging as the vehicle shares the exact same name as the effective commander inside. Very confusing, typeOf it a great help.

So, I tried (again) converting the ambient combat module (ACM) from A2 to A3. I did replace the functions that aren't a thing anymore, but for some reason it still does not work in the game, even if I configured it. I didn't see anything in the RPT. If anyone would like to take a look, here's what I already got. I suspect it might be some broken calls in the FSM script or something like that. Or that the functions are not defined in an hpp file.
If anyone would be willing to help out let me know.

little eagle May 17, 2018, 6:27 AM

#

Drone needs an ai crew (createVehicleCrew solves this), that ai has to be on the players side OR the player has to be an uavHacker, the player needs an uav terminal and it has to be the correct one of that side OR the player has to be an uavHacker again.

I think veh setDamage 0 turns flames off? deserves a test, as I don't remember in which game it worked

radiant needle May 17, 2018, 9:45 AM

Although I guess you can pretend it's just glowing red hot

#

but I can probably hack it

#

spawn a new vehicle at 0,0,0, destory it, setDamage to 0 then teleport it over and delete the real vehicle

#

Is there a place to see the CfgVehicle hierarchy for use with isKindOf?

#

[(_this select 1)] spawn {
_Veh = _this select 0;
if (alive _Veh) exitWith{};
if (_Veh isKindOf "Man") exitWith {};
_VehType = typeOf _Veh;
_VehPos = getPosATL _Veh;
_VehDir = vectorDir _Veh;
_VehUp = vectorUp _Veh;
_VehDirUp = [_VehDir,_VehUp];
deleteVehicle _Veh;
_NewVeh = _Vehtype createVehicle [0,0,0];
_NewVeh setDamage 1;
_NewVeh setDamage 0;
_NewVeh setDamage 1;
deleteVehicle _Veh;
_NewVeh setVectorDirAndUp _VehDirUp;

@queen cargo a "memory leak" is when you cannot access a object anymore to delete it. Which is not the case. you can use allUnits/vehicles/allLocations and so on. And Arma also keeps references to them. So that's not a memory leak. And if you decide to not want to help someone asking a question. It's also not a good idea to attack the guy that helps the guy by calling him stupid and his advice being shit. If your advice is better then bring it on. If not then get out.

A couple million objects might be a problem yes. But half a dozen locations is not. So don't make a universe out of an electron.

game objects require deletion and are "expensive" in creation Yep. Locations being the most inexpensive of them.
You mean his advice is shit and lies because your oh so awesome way of doing it is literally 0.0062ms faster (creating location vs empty array). But your method is so hard to use it's literally unusable. Thank you for your good advice and 🍿 emotes.
Now please get out and let the people alone that are here to help people with their problems.

Are you kidding me? Reread what I said
I told him: nö, not possible unless you use a mod or a work around

Commy said I am wrong
And it is a memory leak if your Script is never deleting it
Obviously the game keeps track of it, obviously you still can access it
But if you do not do so, you just created a memory leak because the objects are created and that's it

The same dort of memory leak that would be created in literally all other applications too as the OS keeps track of the memory too

So no, it was the correct adivice of me, if he wanted to know those other solutions I mentioned, he could have asked
And I did not started to insult around, it again was Commy

So by writing this chat message you created a memory leak? Stop doing that! memory leaks are bad!

And wrote
No mods to see here. Though, this will not survive post a mission, as all objects are deleted once a new mission starts.
And?
See what?

You provided no solution and wrote:

Yeah, I don't see how created locations stored in locals not getting deleted at the end of the script automatically has anything to do with what was asked for.

Also, you could always just... delete them before the script ends...

still forum May 17, 2018, 1:41 PM

a global variable is the same "memory leak" as you said. Though that dude then started throwing lies around that you can just delete variables by using = nil.. Like you couldn't just delete locations.

#

Though I wouldn't say that either solution was what that guy wanted. Because he didn't actually say exactly what he wanted. I would've just replied with "more details pls"

I believe he was just a bit upset that you have not put a warning about location not being like normal variable which is deleted automatically at end of scope.

Go tell a rookie He can create game objects to create js like objects
Good idea

The chances that He knows He has to delete them when He is no longer using them are so great

Not only that, but obviously I was wrong by saying that it is not possible in sqf unless workarounds are used was wrong

And you proove that with a workaround

But hey
I should have provided him the workaround instant instead of telling him that arma does not knows named arrays

tens of thousands of locations is not really a problem.

@queen cargo was wrong taking it personally,
then shitfest happened.

Hey, I don't know if this is the right channel for my problem but its related to scripting so ill just ask it.
I currently have a stringtable.xml containing all my messages localized with their needed formation.
Now I want to create Briefing Text and Task + Task Descriptions using those localized texts.
I managed to get it to read the text from the stringtable.xml but apparently localize strips all the HTML tags.
So I wanted to substitude that using parseText localize ...; but parseText gives me a structured text which is not accepted by createDiary and setSimpleTaskDescription.
Any suggestion how I could fix this? Or is the only way by replacing all < to < and > to > using a string replace option after localizing?
Or is it possible to convert a structured text into a normal one?

Just to be precise I belive that xml does not care if you use or . It is just an format of storing data. The html parser does care what tags you use.

isnt the cheapest namespace the missionnamespace itself?

still forum May 17, 2018, 2:09 PM

Not necessarly.

#

Because missionNamespace you have to add tags to your variables which makes them longer. Which increases the get/set time.
Also the missionNamespace is filled with lots of other stuff which again increases the access time slightly

As in theory code can be suspended right after creating vehicle and as it is created at zeroPos it can fall into water blow up etc.

and it is very likely that it will suspend after the createVehicle because that takes quite some time

Rather than wrap all functions in isNil, I would rather wrap the call from scheduled itself.

there is no second call to inidb
and i kinda doubt it automatically happens

#

https://github.com/code34/inidbi2/blob/master/%40inidbi2/DOCUMENTATION.txt#L74-L76

#

ok ... forget it, i did missed something

#

go check the result of the write calls

#

if they are true, ask for help in the forums

@peak plover https://github.com/dedmen/ArmaScriptProfiler/releases/tag/RC5 It's there now. No real changes from the dev build

Nice find, Dedmen.

minor crescent May 17, 2018, 7:55 PM

#

So I got it to save @queen cargo However it doesn't persist, so when I join the server again it resets me back to 0

#

any ideas?

queen cargo May 17, 2018, 7:56 PM

#

https://github.com/code34/inidbi2/blob/master/%40inidbi2/DOCUMENTATION.txt#L60-L70 you doing this ?

minor crescent May 17, 2018, 8:01 PM

#

So theoretically if I included a "While {false} then all that but instead of write its read?

#

@queen cargo

little eagle May 17, 2018, 8:03 PM

#

A while {false} does nothing 🤔

minor crescent May 17, 2018, 8:03 PM

#

rip

#

so @queen cargo I have a loadstats.sqf which has this ```sqf
_sender = _this select 0;
_senderid = getPlayerUID _sender;

databaseplayers = ["new", "databaseplayers"] call OO_INIDBI;

_kills = ["read", [_senderid, "kills", 0]] call databaseplayers;
_deaths = ["read", [_senderid, "deaths", 0]] call databaseplayers;
_playtime = ["read", [_senderid, "playtime", 0]] call databaseplayers;
_donatorLevel = ["read", [_senderid, "donatorlevel", 0]] call databaseplayers;

_sender setVariable ["GMKills", _kills,true];
_sender setVariable ["GMDeaths", _deaths,true];
_sender setVariable ["GMPlaytime", _playtime,true];
_sender setVariable ["GMDonator", _donatorLevel,true];```

#

but when I join the server and i have stats, but if I relog it rewrites the stats and overwrites the other ones

#

setting all the stats to 0 again

cosmic lichen May 17, 2018, 8:08 PM

@proven marsh I've done some rewriting and shortening. I removed the syntax stuff completely since the dedicated page was just rewritten

#

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/R3vo/Sandbox

proven marsh May 17, 2018, 8:11 PM

#

Nice. Thank you for doing that. I have been looking at it and just struggling on finding a place to start. Learning this script was very much a "decide what you want to do, then learn how to do it" approach for me, so it is odd to think of a step one. You sorting it out like that makes that easier.

#

While you were doing that I added resources to the See also on the page, consider including that in your changes.

cosmic lichen May 17, 2018, 8:12 PM

#

Will do

meager heart May 17, 2018, 8:22 PM

#

guys, on that page ^ there is "Layout examples" and maybe >

Statement 1;

Block
{
    Statement 2;

    Nested block
    {
        Statement 3;
        Statement 4;
    };
};
```😕

Statement 1;
Block {
Statement 2;
Nested block {
Statement 3;
Statement 4;
};
};

#

no ?

proven marsh May 17, 2018, 8:25 PM

#

I personally use the latter. I still frequently see both though.

little eagle May 17, 2018, 8:27 PM

#

This is strange to me, as the "Block" is also "nested"... Within the main scope of the function.

#

Also, it enumerates the statements, though "Block" and "Nested Block" are in fact also statements that are skipped in the counting for some reason.

meager heart May 17, 2018, 8:30 PM

#

maybe just change them to some if-then example 🤔

little eagle May 17, 2018, 8:30 PM

#

Or call.

proven marsh May 17, 2018, 8:30 PM

#

In an absolute sense, sure. But when we are talking the first page that a newcomer scripter sees, it is fair to see it at face value. It's just the structure. Agreed that making it if-then or even a function definition may be more sensible.

cosmic lichen May 17, 2018, 8:32 PM

#

I'd rather put then onto the Code Optimisation page in "Make it readable"

little eagle May 17, 2018, 8:32 PM

#

It would make more sense when explaining what a statement is to a beginner, to just say that it is everything terminated by ; or } or the EOF.

Hey guys I have a little mod that i made with just code addons and it has config.cpp that loads fine if i load it on the server as a mod but if i put it within another mod it does not seem to load up the config.cpp any ideas?

#

Will the client ever see the server side configFile trough the debug console config tool?

little eagle May 17, 2018, 9:19 PM

No.

Is there a way to get the UAV target that he is aiming at? because assignedTarget allways returns objectnull

meager heart May 17, 2018, 9:47 PM

#

you can try this https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/aimedAtTarget

#

afaik works with vehicles only

astral tendon May 17, 2018, 9:48 PM

though i need to know a target, this is what i need to get

meager heart May 17, 2018, 9:59 PM

private _target = allUnits apply {_uav aimedAtTarget [_x] > 0.5; _x} param [0, objNull];

#

maybe

astral tendon May 17, 2018, 10:00 PM

#

player targets [false, 300, [east,sideEnemy]]; //empty array

player targets [false, 300, [sideUnknown,sideEnemy]]; // returns all units

wtfuf

meager heart May 17, 2018, 10:06 PM

probably player do not knowsAbout units around 🤔

little eagle May 17, 2018, 10:18 PM

#

What about.

#

private _target = allUnits apply {_uav aimedAtTarget [_x] > 0.5; _x} param [0, objNull];

->

private _target = allUnits select (allUnits findIf {_uav aimedAtTarget [_x] > 0.5});

meager heart May 17, 2018, 10:20 PM

#

yeah was thinking about it... need test it 😀

#

select i mean vs apply

little eagle May 17, 2018, 10:21 PM

#

I propse a new command: selectIf:

allUnits selectIf {_uav aimedAtTarget [_x] > 0.5};

#

Quits the loop after the first true and reports that item.

meager heart May 17, 2018, 10:22 PM

#

yeah will be nice

astral tendon May 17, 2018, 10:24 PM

is selectIf a comand?

PARAM!

#

nvm... he is offline 😕

astral tendon May 17, 2018, 10:51 PM

other option is if there a way to get the possition were the UAV is aiming at?

what with object, you changed plan ?

astral tendon May 17, 2018, 10:58 PM

I've seen this raw sqf strength only once before, it didn't scare me enough then, it does now.

vapid venture May 18, 2018, 1:41 AM

#

Interesting, if you script something like this :private ["_animEH"];
_animEH = BIS_leader addEventHandler [
"HandleDamage",
{
private ["_damage", "_source"];
_damage = _this select 2;
_source = _this select 3;

    if (_source in [vehicle BIS_inf, BIS_inf]) then {_damage} else {0};
}

];
(Allows only player to hurt the entity) Ace completely overrides it.

#

Quick question, So for an entity I have a script that looks like this: BIS_AlphaLead = this; this setCaptive true; {this disableAI _x} forEach ["ANIM", "AUTOTARGET", "FSM", "MOVE", "TARGET"]; 0 = this spawn {_time = random 1; waitUntil {time > _time}; _this switchMove "hubstanding_idle2"; _animEH = _this addEventHandler ["AnimDone", {(_this select 0) switchMove (_this select 1)}]; _this setVariable ["BIS_animEH", _animEH]; _killedEH = _this addEventHandler ["Killed", {(_this select 0) removeEventHandler ["AnimDone", (_this select 0) getVariable "BIS_animEH"]}]; _this setVariable ["BIS_killedEH", _killedEH]}

#

I'm trying to get it so that it stops spawning with different gear than I give it in the scenario, is there anything in here that can be altered that would allow me to prevent it from doing that?

unborn ether May 18, 2018, 3:28 AM

#

@vapid venture Its hard to read that without code markup. But if you want to use specific loadouts you should use Respawned EVH and handle gear there.

little eagle May 18, 2018, 5:27 AM

#

@vapid venture That's because ace medical uses its own HandleDamage eventhandler and whenever you use two, the return value for damage from the first one is ignored.

#

Whichever happens to be added last will take effect.

edgy dune May 18, 2018, 5:33 AM

#

Also harder to tell what killed the unit with ACE yea?

vapid venture May 18, 2018, 5:37 AM

#

True

little eagle May 18, 2018, 5:40 AM

#

That's because you have death by bleeding etc. in ACE, which is done by using setDamage. And there is no way to tell setDamage who to report as killer in Killed.
I don't like ace_medical either for these reasons.

vapid venture May 18, 2018, 5:40 AM
