Where is this script located?
verbal otter
two and more players in one vehicle open inventory and with clicker drop items. Vehicle bugged and items duplicate

Does it display the hint text this?
peak plover
There are probably macros you can setup with some mice as well
verbal otter
@little eagle no,just for example

What?
Does it display it or not.
Of course it is for debugging.
But knowing the results of the debugging would help a lot.

btw idd is 602
little eagle
uiNamespace getVariable "RscDisplayInventory"
Is the woke way to write this.
ChewDev, this will not prevent people from duping items anyway. You could just access the inventory from outside the vehicle.
Arma is a game for closed milsim servers. You should get used to that. Only play with people you know and trust, (and you can punch ban if they misbehave).
verbal otter
commy2, from outside dupe fixed
verbal otter
idk, now trying to solve it
little eagle
You don't know if the hint is displayed or not? Why don't you try to open the inventory?
little eagle
Why would you disable it if you want to see if it works or not? This makes no sense to me.
// initPlayerLocal.sqf
params ["_unit"];
_unit addEventHandler ["InventoryOpened", {count crew cameraOn > 1}];
Personally I would do this.
verbal otter
ty will try add to initPlayerLocal
get it working ๐
player addEventHandler ["inventoryOpened",{
_this call {
if !(objectParent player isEqualTo objNull) then {
if (count (crew vehicle player)>1) exitWith {
hint "ะะตะปัะทั!";
true;
};
};
};
}
];```This looks unnecessarily complicated, but it's essentially the same as mine. So ๐
meager heart
ura ๐
verbal otter
as i understand all event handlers for correct work must contain _this call {...} ๐
little eagle
No, they must not.
For some reason you insist on using exitWith though.
And that is bugged inside the main scope.
So you have to open a child scope.
You could instead of _this call {...} also write isNil {...} or if (true) then {...} and it would be the same thing.
OR
Just don't use exitWith to begin with.
Like I did.
verbal otter
hmm, ty will remember ๐
meager heart
also if you have _this in eh, probably you missed params or just in slightly wrong direction imo ๐
except those with one param maybe ๐

I'm wanting to create a mission, that has three main 'paths' each path is per faction. And I'd like 'faction specific buildings' to be chosen based on the 'path' chosen. These 'faction specific buildings' will be for example; the Medical Tent, which has three types: AAF, NATO and CSAT. How can I utilise the hideObjectGlobal command to be able to hide the 'faction specific buildings' that aren't the players faction?
Anyone? ^

still forum
how does one select the path to take?
I'd say give each building a variable
make script files for each path with a bunch of hideObjectGlobal for each building
drowsy axle
That's undefined at the moment, just wanting a simple and expandable hideObject command file(s).
So for ref: I have natoFlag, affFlag and csatFlag. These are all object variables.
still forum
make script files for hideNatoObjects.sqf hideAAFObjects.sqf hideCSATObjects.sqf
in each of them just list all the objects like natoFlag hideObjectGlobal true;
and then after the path was chosen. You just execute both the hideObjects scripts of the paths that were not chosen
drowsy axle
I also have: natoTent , aafTent and csatTent. is there a way to include all variables that have nato etc.
Sweet. Sounds good. (I'm hoping to have it as a parameter in the lobby.)
still forum
you can use allVariables missionNamespace and then filter the ones that start with nato yeah
but I wouldn't use just nato that could get you in trouble.
Use some more unique tag
drowsy axle
I could do two arrays:sqf FactionArray = [nato,aff,csat]; ObjectArray = [Flag,Tent,]; ahh allvariables.
still forum
like CAP_NatoObject_
and then filter by that
still forum
{(missionNamespace getVariable [_x, objNull]) hideObjectGlobal true; } forEach ((allVariables missionNamespace) select {_x select [0,15] == "CAP_NatoObject_"})
keep in mind that it should be executed on the server

it hides all objects who'se variable names start with C_NATO_Object_
also your _x select [0,15] is wrong now. You change the length of the name. You also need to change the entry on the select.
your name is now 14 characters long. not 15

_x is the variable name
select [0,15] cut's off the first 15 characters

the number has to be the length of your C_NATO_Object_ string

Yup, got iot.

you could theoretically just write count "C_NATO_Object_" instead of 15. But that will count the length of the string at every iteration and probably halve your speed

I'd say it probably does. Because checking if anyone is around would be way too expensive
peak plover
yeah and you can hear many things from huge distances
errant jasper
Actually it is more complicated than that. Example, if you join (or maybe you were already joined but not loaded the following area) a MP session that has been running. But earlier in a location far away from your spawn point, a helicopter was scripted in and destroyed, you will still hear the explosion when you get closer.
meager heart
fix > _heli setDamage [1, false]; ๐
errant jasper
I'll take your word for it, much of my experience with that was before that optional argument was added.. Though you will still experience it with game modes that creates dynamic mission (e.g. side missions), then the spawn scripts screws up and puts a vehicle inside a too small garage or something.
meager heart
yeah ^ also if that was just "accidental explosion/destruction/collision with explosion" sometimes you can hear it even if that vehicle already was deleted
plus for "sound weirdness" is cool mods, with models that have some ambient sounds... you just delete that vehicle, but sound still there ๐

Freeze stops after this is hit
But yeah unscheduled freezes it, like it should
only 1 bullet fired

I was stupid to use while in scheduled, beacause if like you said, max 1 bullet per frame, it can run 3ms of fire, but 1 bullet will still fire
Just like what happend now

I guess it's because reloadTime is at min 0. But reload is done in simulation cycle. Which runs once per frame
if you want more you can still go shotgun mode

It should still be repeated every day. Though idk what he means by getPosRealWorldModelVisual3D. That is not actually a thing.

1 fadeMusic 5; playmusic "music1"; in the activation field,
little eagle
No idea how you play the sound, or which one, so "Alarm" it is.
Oh, so you don't play any sound, but music.
Is this music supposed to play for everyone on the server, or just the pilot?
tulip smelt
It plays for just for the player, when they enter the chopper. The chopper is a support

tulip smelt
Cool deal, thank you
little eagle
Question. Should this music only play once per mission? Or every time the engine is turned on?
tulip smelt
every time. In the trigger I have set to repeat
little eagle
OK, then leave it as I wrote. You can delete the trigger. It is not needed for turning on the engine of a vehicle, and this event handler based solution is better in every way.
tulip smelt
Does your code require the player to be the pilot? Would it be player == cargo?
tulip smelt
Ok, cause the way I've got it setup is the AI flying the heli
little eagle
So let's rething this then. The music should start playing for everyone inside the helicopter once the engine is turned on.
Would that make sense?

Erm.
This starts the music if:
- the engine of the helicopter is turned on and the local player sits inside the heli
- the player enters the heli while the engine is turned on
little eagle
The music fades on its own after 5 seconds I believe.
tulip smelt
It doesn't. Keeps playing until you enter the heli and give it orders again.
little eagle
Is that good or bad?
little eagle
this addEventHandler ["Engine", {

};
}];
this addEventHandler ["GetOut", {
params ["", "", "_unit"];
if (_unit != player) exitWith {};
playMusic ["", 0];
}];
Last block turns the music off once you leave the vehicle.
tulip smelt
allrighty, testing it out

I guess you can replace the playMusic ["", 0] with 5 fadeMusic 0; to fade the music in 5 seconds.

Anyone know of a good way to make a waypoint cycle similar to how BIS_FNC_TSKPATROL works? I've got one made up that works, but it has a few quirks, in that sometimes the loop doesn't pan out very well. Also, I'd like a touch more flexibility, like the ability to have elements wait for a time at waypoints before continuing along their route.
_G1 addwaypoint [_this, 2400];
_G1 addwaypoint [_this, 2400];
_G1 addwaypoint [_this, 2400];
_G1 addwaypoint [_this, 2400];
_G1 addwaypoint [_this, 2400];
_G1 addwaypoint [_this, 2400];
_G1 addwaypoint [_this, 2400];
[_G1, 6] setwaypointtype "CYCLE";
That's what I've been using, it works, but commonly the group will get caught in a loop that keeps them only retracing a vew of the waypoints, instead of cycling back to their original waypoint.
inner swallow
i don't remember if your unit uses CBA, but there's CBA version of task patrol too
but apart from that... i think they'll loop with the nearest waypoint
so maybe make sure the last waypoint is near the first?
(unless that's just an editor thing)
little eagle
Pretty sure it connects to the nearest. So just place the cycle waypoint onto the first one you want to loop to.

back in A2 there was this UAV Terminal Humvee. Is there a alternative for A3? So a scripting solution? So you don't need a UAV terminal on the player. Rather you are just at an object and can say "open UAV Terminal"

little eagle

so he is forced to be at that object

Take it away from them if they leave the vehicle.
GetIn, linkItem terminal, GetOut unlinkItem, removeItem
hollow lantern
naah I just gonna play arround with sqf player action ["UAVTerminalOpen", player];
little eagle
Does this work when you have no terminal in the inventory?
little eagle
Well, then there you have your solution. Give the vehicle this script as addAction and you're golden. ... Oops.
hollow lantern
well you force him into the action. And after that his terminal will be removed. So he never knew that he had one
because he only can access the terminal via the addAction
little eagle
If you can figure out the "after that" part, then sure.
shadow sapphire
@inner swallow, no mods in my group. Thanks for the recommend. The waypoints are meant to be random. I think I'm approaching a solution, but we'll see.
inner swallow
yeah, wasn't sure if it was strict no mods or optional only
meager heart
for those waypoints ^ DEL-J's question maybe something like this
private _list = [/* coordinates */];
for "_i" from 0 to (count _list) - 1 do {
private _wp = _group addWaypoint [_list select _i, 0];
_wp setWaypointType "MOVE";
};
private _wpCycle = _group addWaypoint [_list select 0, 0];
_wpCycle setWaypointType "CYCLE";
lgtm, but you really could use forEach instead of for loop if you're going to use select _i anyway.
private _list = [/* coordinates */];
{
private _wp = _group addWaypoint [_x, 0];
_wp setWaypointType "MOVE";
} forEach _list;
private _wpCycle = _group addWaypoint [_list select 0, 0];
_wpCycle setWaypointType "CYCLE";
yep ^ even better option
shadow sapphire
Hmm... How do I grab a single character in a group?
Group select 1 or whatever. What's the correct way?
I don't know which wiki page to check. Tried group, leader, select, and units....
little eagle
selectRandom units _group
shadow sapphire
Okay! Wow. That's... easy. Almost what I wanted it to be, but I couldn't find an example. But I don't want it to be random necessarily. Any difference?
Select unit 1 group?
shadow sapphire
Hmm...
Okay, I'll see what I can do there.
So, I need to give a waypoint to this guy.
I've done it with named units, so I think that means its possible otherwise to give individuals within a group their own waypoints.
little eagle
You can give waypoints only to groups, not individual units.
shadow sapphire
How does the "DISMISS" waypoint scatter them? Must I break up the group and reform it as necessary? I believe you about not being able to issue waypoints to individuals, but I know that they can move independently of their group, because of a medic script I'm building.
little eagle
Most waypoints are internal magic.
shadow sapphire
I don't understand.
little eagle
Hard coded in C++, not editable by script.
There are a few scripted waypoints though.
shadow sapphire
Ah, okay, I see.
little eagle
This one from CBA is based on doMove, unitReady, doStop partially: https://github.com/CBATeam/CBA_A3/blob/master/addons/ai/fnc_waypointGarrison.sqf
Maybe that helps you putting something together.
meager heart
DEL-J, for the types check this https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Waypoint_types
shadow sapphire
Hmm... There are actions that I've been able to do with my medic script that uses domove and dostop.
@meager heart, I'm familiar with the types, but the "DISMISS" waypoint allows the element to scatter. I want to replicate that myself. I think that domove is the key, as that's what I use in my medic script that has the medic depart his element to fix another group.
little eagle
You will probably not be able to copy paste and edit the behavior of DISMISS, because it is, iirc, a hard coded waypoint.
shadow sapphire
I didn't want its exact behavior anyway. If I wanted that behavior, I would just use that waypoint, but it doesn't work for my purposes.
little eagle
True. But you will have to do something from ground up, probably using doMove, doStop, unitReady etc.
shadow sapphire
I am building a recon patrol loop. A platoon makes a sweep, rests, and then makes another sweep, but DISMISS breaks the cycle, so I'm going to just have them domove, etc.
little eagle
Yes.
shadow sapphire
But I still need to select individuals from the group. Hmm... I may be able to select all of them and just have the domove positions random, but I'll have to have a catch to keep them from forming back up on the group leader when he takes his point.
Probably disableAI "path" in there...
So, something like this, but that works is the objective...
Select units _group domove getpos [(1 + round random 20), (getdir leader (_G3)) + round random 360]), 1];
disableAI "paths";
switchmove selectrandom "animations";```i didn't follow things really but why not use sqf {_x bla bla} forEach (units group)?
shadow sapphire
Don't know. Why not?
Mostly because I am not good enough to refactor. I do exactly what I need line by line. I'll refactor later, when I'm literate.
little eagle
DEL-J, your math of the random distribution in the circle is kind of wrong: http://sqf.ovh/sqf math/2018/05/05/generate-a-random-position.html
inner swallow
fair. just thought it would save the complicated selection process.
little eagle
The getdir part is also pointless, since you add random 360 anyway.
shadow sapphire
@inner swallow, you're definitely right, it's just a skill gap.
Good call, @little eagle.
That link for a random position is well over my head. I have to use this kind of thing often for my project, though. I may try to dig in and understand that, then just have a few functions once I figure it out that I can attempt to plug in. That must be down the line, though.
@inner swallow, how would I go about doing the foreach in this case?
inner swallow
erm i think
{
_x doMove getpos [...];
_x disableAI "PATH";
_x switchMove selectrandom "animations";
} forEach (units _group);```Even if it's not right, at least now I know what I'm working with. Thanks!
Hmm...
shadow sapphire
Perfect!
I might have to throw a timer or something in there to get them to their domove position before they stop moving, but ultimately, this is great to start with, thanks so much!
little eagle
private _units = units _group;
private _origin = getPosWorld leader _group;
private _delta = 360 / count _units;
private _start = random 360;
{
_x doMove (_origin getPos [100, _start + _forEachIndex * _delta]);
} forEach _units;
This should make them scatter in a star pattern.

Any opinions on the correct use of FSMs for mission coordination? I have the pattern that:
- States create a task in their InitCode block.
- Attached condition(s) check for completion of the task in their Condition block and complete the task in their Action block.
Benefit is you can drag the arrow from Init entry node to any of the states and the mission starts from there (in terms of tasks).
Haven't quite figured out a use for the PreCondition code blocks.
little eagle
Not a fan of FSM. They are hard to edit, and get diffs from.
They obscure what is going on in my opinion. No value in using them.
meager heart
atm trying to revive/remake old mission, there was fsm in b4 (beta times) ๐
dry zephyr
FSMs still do render as text and can be committed to source control with diffs as long you can tolerate the /%FSM<STATEINIT""">/""/%FSM</STATEINIT""">/ wrapping, but they certainly aren't as readable as SQF.
@meager heart the old mission had FSM and you are trying to remake it without FSM?
meager heart
yep
tolerate the /%FSM<STATEINIT""">/""/%FSM</STATEINIT
you're not using fsm editor ?
dry zephyr
I am using the FSM editor, but it outputs .fsm text files that are really C++ like files with hierarchy of classes that, for some reason, maybe to keep from SQF inside the quotes for class variables from messing up the ability to parse the C++ code, many of the variable values get wrapped with the extra comments.
At least with the scripted compile configuration - there may be other compile configurations that go to a non-text binary format.
Experimentation at this point. Trying different approaches. I've also had success with just Create Task, Set Task State, and Trigger modules in the Eden editor, though that can get a little wonky with lots of lines all over the place.
meager heart
never tried tasks modules... was enough troubles with just functions in b4
maybe they working now idk
dry zephyr
They work well. The challenge is that you need a Create Task module, Trigger, and Set Task State module for every task. Also, one weird behavior is that the notification for the next task assignment appears before the notification that the task you just completed is complete. So you see "B Assigned" and THEN "A completed".
Since you can't order the 'sync to' lines from the trigger to the Set Task State module of the current task and from the trigger to the next Create Task module, I haven't found a way to control which gets executed first.
meager heart
try this maybe https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_setTask ๐
dry zephyr
That's what I use now in SQF behind the FSM. I don't put anything but simple logic in the FSM blocks and call out to SQF functions to create tasks, etc.
With the SQF/FSM approach, you can get the right order of "A completed" THEN "B assigned".
meager heart
if you're using that fsm only for tasks, imo that is pointless and overcomplicated ๐คท
dry zephyr
It could be. Just trying it out and gathering feedback at the moment because if I don't try it, I wouldn't know if it is something that could be useful.

When is Killed and Respawn exactly called?
Is killed when the player has health as 0?
And respawn when they spawn in? or when they click respawn?
shadow sapphire
@digital jacinth, thanks!
digital jacinth
@mint kraken killed eh fires if the unit has 1 damage and dies, respawn is when the player respawns and not when they click the respawn button.
mint kraken
Alright thanks
@digital jacinth I am trying to do an incapacitated mode, when someone dies and I do damage to 0, then set them as incapacitated. If someone shoots them again and their damage is 1 will the Killed be called again?
digital jacinth
if the killed EH fires, the unit is dead and you cannot "save" that unit anymore
you need to do it with another EH such as Damaged or handleDamage
digital jacinth

tho it is a little bit wonky and oyu need to load preview the mission once for the settings to appear in the editor
little eagle
What did you do? They should appear at first load too when you open the mission.
digital jacinth
i added the cfgfunction entry as usual
class diw_unknownwp {
tag="diw_unknownwp";
class functions {
file = "scripts\diw_unknownwp";
class addCbaSettings {};
class init {postInit = 1;};
};
};
and then call it with a Extended_PreInit_EventHandlers like so
class Extended_PreInit_EventHandlers {
class diw_unknownwp_settings {
init = "call diw_unknownwp_fnc_addCbaSettings";
};
};
Is this addon or mission?
digital jacinth
Mission
little eagle
Replace:
init = "call diw_unknownwp_fnc_addCbaSettings";
with:
init = "call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers 'scripts\diw_unknownwp\addCbaSettings.sqf'";
And remove the CfgFunctions entry.
CfgFunctions is not reliable in 3den, especially when defined in a mission.
little eagle
No, CfgFunctions is just not working correctly.
Sometimes they're defined, sometimes not.
Depends on whether or not you load the map, vs. load a different mission on the same map, and such weird conditions.
diw_unknownwp_fnc_addCbaSettings was just undefined, and the script therefore not executed.
digital jacinth
That is good to know, thanks
little eagle
If this were an addon, you could write:
init = "call (uiNamespace getVariable 'diw_unknownwp_fnc_addCbaSettings')";
to fetch the function from the functions cache.
But the cache will not have this function when you load the mission for the first time iirc, so you have to use preprocessFile etc.
digital jacinth
I am. Using the same setup that I've posted in my add on. So far that worked. That whole thing seems. Weird
little eagle
Because it's only in mission config CfgFunctions.
tough abyss
how would i use a function with a parameter
call what?
like player addAction["Test", myFunc[var]];
no how to use function parameter like in c++ you just make void myfunc(int a, int b) { ...code } and use it with myfunc(10, 5); as an example
it was an example ๐คฆ
you can bind a function to an action
so i've tried it like you said but i getting a error
{
player addAction[str(_x), [str(_x)] call Options];
}forEach allUnits;
};```error type number, expected string code
i thats not what i want
it says expected string code but i convert it already to a string
this is mostly a bug in the script engine
just help me
i gave you my code + error
without parameter it works fine like player addAction[str(_x), Options];
your parameter code seems to be wrong
so why is it working without then?
without your code to use parameter
this is not what i asked for omg
then maybe read?`
thats not my code if it use that it makes nothing
also that what you provided is using inline function and not a own function thats declared outside
its not its pure shit it isnt working it makes nothing than shit
i get it now
just saw your rank
sqf is a piece of shit ugliest syntax ever
params ["_player"];
removeAllActions player;
player addAction["Kill", {_player setDamage 1;}];
};
getUnits = {
{
player addAction[str(_x), [str(_x)] call Options];
}forEach allUnits;
};``` just tell me now how tf do i get this workingyou dont call any functions there thats not what i asked 10 time now
now it says undefined variable
params ["_player"];
removeAllActions player;
player addAction["Kill", {_player setDamage 1;}];
};
getUnits = {
{
player addAction[str(_x), Options,[str(_x)];
}forEach allUnits;
};```what?
austere granite
player addAction[str(_x), Options,[str(_x)];
player addAction[str(_x), Options,[str(_x)]];
tough abyss
i fixed that already just sendet the old version from notepad
the error is _player is undefined what doesn't make sense since i defined _players as a parameter
austere granite
Nah, you set it as a parameter in Options
you didnt set it as a parameter in { _player setDamage 1 }
also
params ["_target", "_caller", "_actionId", "_arguments"];
_arguments params ["_a", "_b"];
as commy said, _arguments is the 4th parameter, but you use use it as first
so that would also be incorrect as second thing
tough abyss
i never used _arguments
tough abyss
this is parameter
it's easier to learn something with a nice and clean syntac
syntax#
austere granite
player addAction[str(_x), Options,[str(_x)]];
[player, player, 123, [str _x]] call Options
thats what the engine is doing
it's calling Options with [_target, _caller, _actionID, _arguments, Arguments is in your case [str _x] (which is a string, so it won't result in a unit datatype to kill btw)
tough abyss
btw kommy also used it like me
austere granite
No he didnt
tough abyss
"TEST 123",
_function,
_parameters
];``` what he wrotebecause i don't need 2
why would i need to when i only use one?
austere granite
Because you weant it to work
I assume
And if you look at commys example and understand parameters in SQF then you'll understand
tough abyss
i only need _x so i only need to use one parameter makes sense doesn't it
austere granite
Except
You didnt read the addAction wiki
player addAction[str(_x), Options,[str(_x)]];
[player, player, 123, [str _x]] call Options
i did but it's so shitty documented that you can't understand anything
austere granite
Options(player, player, 13, [str _x])
Understand now? ๐
I mean if you're saying that the order is unpredicatable in SQF, then sure i'll go along with that, but if you look on the wiki page it does say in which order they go
tough abyss
i also looked into functions but these guys don't even give an example of how to use function with parameter
they just show to make a function with parameter
but never show how to actually use them
austere granite
[1, 2, 3] call { params ["_one", "_two", "_tree"]; hint str (_one + _two) }
there now you know SQF!
tough abyss
because bohemia seems to only care about $
austere granite
k lol
i made mistake ๐ฆ
i mean Bircko all you need to understand is literally this line
[1, 2, 3] call { params ["_one", "_two", "_tree"]; hint str (_one + _two) }
What you are trying to do is ``[1, 2, 3] call { params ["_three"]; hint str (_three) }`
but... _three would be 1 then because thats the first arugment
I don't know C++ but i assume its the same there, its the same in python at least? ๐
tough abyss
explain why do i need more than one parameter if i want to use only one variable it's like making a simple calculator function where you add 2 numbers you obviously need only 2 parameter and then return the result
austere granite
Because the engine calls it with that many paramaters
tough abyss
apprently arguments is the third parameter so whats wrong
austere granite
๐ค
tough abyss
object addAction [title, script, *arguments*, priority, showWindow, hideOnUse, shortcut, condition, radius, unconscious, selection, memoryPoint]
austere granite
i mean if you read 2 lines further
ruby breach
this addAction ["<title>", { params ["_target", "_caller", "_actionId", "_arguments"]; }, [], 1.5, true, true, "", "true", _target _this 50, false, "", ""]; //Default Values ```it'll tell you that this is how arguments are called from addAction
player addAction[str(_x), Options,[str(_x)]];
[player, player, 123, [str _x]] call Options
why 2 times player if i never used player in the paramters why 123 if i never used 123 in the paramters
???
austere granite
like if you just used commys couple lines it would be gut already and that's also how the wiki says usihng
ruby breach
Seriously, just read the addAction page
ruby breach
addAction passes more paramters than you define.
austere granite
it is described properly just fine, addAction page is 100% reliable
tough abyss
thats not how paramters supposed to work if a paramter is not given and it has no default value it will cause an error and not add random things
tough abyss
it should work like any other programming language
austere granite
okay
austere granite
So what you're saying is that if i have a python function, i can't pass it through to another function and add/remove some arguments in between there?
i guess python is not a real language now
oh shit ican do that in C++ too? WTF C++ CONFIRMED NOT REAL LANGUAGE
hollow thistle
Rip javascript ๐
tough abyss
c++ dont add 3 random paramaters when i only say it should have 1
austere granite
fuck you're dense
tough abyss
void kill(player); in c++ this would be one parameter and sqf just adds 3 parameters randomly there
ruby breach
(Only when you pass a function and not code)
hollow thistle
But you are passing your function as handler to engine functions.
tough abyss
said the muted guyx
austere granite
[1, 2, 3] call {
params ["_one", "_two", "_three"]; // -- notice how argumetns aren't magically added
["fuck", "you're", "dense", _one, _two, _three] call {
params ["_one", "_two", "_three"]; // -- REEEEEEEEE NOT REAL LANGUAGE!!! WHERE DID THESE ARGUMENTS COME FROM!!!
};
}
If you were to do sqf player addAction["Do the thing",{[arguments] call gna_fnc_doTheThing},"". . . you'd probably get closer to what you want
austere granite
no he wouldnt lol, that's not even correct :p
hollow thistle
Like you if you pass your function to jQuery each you always receive index and value as the library calls your handler function with these arguments.
austere granite
jQuery isn't real though!
ruby breach
I'm too lazy to do proper syntax. Basically call the function in code with your parameter, rather than "fn_func,argument"
tough abyss
just make my function working and maybe i get it then
hollow thistle
No offence but if you can't understand that and you are refusing to read what others have written you should look for help somewhere else.
austere granite
and explained why it wasnt working
and then also explained what you're missing on the page that you're looking at that supposedly doesnt tell you how it works
Kommy is my favorite guy honestly
tough abyss
params ["_player"];
removeAllActions player;
player addAction["Kill", {_player setDamage 1;}];
};
getUnits = {
{
player addAction[str(_x), Options,"",[str(_x)]];
}forEach allUnits;
};``` this doesn't even look simular to his "solution"lmao there is not even the usage of setDamage so tell me how would his be working
๐คฆ
tough abyss
i know how to do that that still doesn't explain how to use it in addaction....
austere granite
well i expect him to want it to always show right?
that would be limited on range to _target
so it would only show within 15 meters
tough abyss
also _target is no where defined
austere granite
like that doesnt make any sense to me.... ๐
but its what he wrote, not me!
yes it is
tough abyss
it should kill a selected unit in the action thing
params ["_player"];
removeAllActions player;
player addAction["Kill", {_player setDamage 1;}];
};
getUnits = {
{
player addAction[str(_x), Options,"",[str(_x)]];
}forEach allUnits;
};``` is it so hard to understand what i try to do????JustFuckMyShitUpFam = {
params ["_fuck", "_this", "_gay", "_earth"];
removeAllActions player; // This is terrible to do, l2compatibility
player addAction["Kill", { params ["", "", "", "_shutup"]; (_shutup select 0) setDamage 1;}, [_earth]];
};
reeeeeeeeee = {
{
player addAction[str(_x), JustFuckMyShitUpFam,"",[_x]];

there
i fixed it for you okay
@tough abyss we usually teach people how to fish
i think literally every line has a mistake
but i fix np adanteh best guy 2018

i fix np
i tried staying as close to the original as i could

;_;
i mean
just make my function working and maybe i get it then
i did make your function
use iit now
tough abyss
i want to make a list of all units on and then when i select one i get the option to kill the selected unit
and thats what my script should make but when i got it to work it only killed me but not the selected target

austere granite
Options = { // shittyfunction name, learn to prefix
params ["_player"]; // incorrect params, _arguments is the 4th param

player addAction["Kill", {_player setDamage 1;}]; // what is _player? NOTHING IS WHAT
};
getUnits = { // shittyfunctioname pt2.
{ // This is actually correct
player addAction[str(_x), Options,"",[str(_x)]]; // str _x is wrong, you want to pass the object, not a serialzied name of the object
}forEach allUnits; // no space between bracket and foreach, disgusting honestly
};
there
tough abyss
@little eagle it does when the player use the added action
austere granite
even gave you comment on original code
tough abyss
setDamage is basiclly same as getUnits so is setDamage also a shitty function name
austere granite
setDamage also a shitty function name yes, setDammage much superior
The thing is that those are engine commands, yours are sqf functions, they work different and have different syntax when being called, thats usually why you want to call them differently
Also if you have overlap between other mods shit will have a high chance of fucking up, plus if some command gets added with the same name as your functions, then your functions will also break
tough abyss
@little eagle thats not what i asked for i want to select a unit than it goes to a submenu in addaction where i can have different options for a unit like kick it from the server kill it or mute it
tough abyss
you just added commends lol

is there a physics enabled invisible object in the game which I can attach some simple object to and throw in a direction? So far I am trying "WeaponHolderSimulated", but that gets auto deleted as it does not contain any items.
cosmic kettle
The UAV's are the smallest iirc.
young current
grenades
digital jacinth
it would probably weird that there are 2 items flying away.
hollow thistle
hideObject
cosmic kettle
Hide the physics item, yeah ^
hollow thistle
But care it has local effect
digital jacinth
wouldn't that looks weird in MP then?
yeah that is what i was thinking
well
yeah

Am still wishing BI would allow you to attach ropes to non-physx objects ๐ฆ

jip is not really a problem as it will be delted after a few seconds.

maybe just "groundweaponHolder" ๐ค

player addAction["Units", getUnits];```` your methode doesnt work at all it just kills myselfYou are using params wrong in first function
Your arguments array is passed as fourth argument to action handler function.
First three arguments are supplied by engine as described on wiki.
You need to extract the unit from arguments array like in your internal addAction function. Currently you are passing _caller (you) as _p
digital jacinth
๐ค nah the simple object will be still stuck mid air.
private _groundHolder = createVehicle ["WeaponHolderSimulated", position ace_player, [], 0.5, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
_groundHolder addItem "HandGrenade_Stone";
[_groundHolder, true] remoteExec ["hideObjectGlobal", 2];
private _dummy = createSimpleObject[_model,getPosASL ace_player];
_dummy hideSelection ["zasleh",true];
_dummy attachTo [_groundHolder,[0,0,0]];
_dummy disableCollisionWith ace_player;
// _dummy setDamage 1;
_groundHolder disableCollisionWith ace_player;
_groundHolder setPos (ace_player modelToWorld [0,.2,1.2]);
private _dir = getdir ace_player;
private _speed = 1.5;
_dummy setVelocity [_speed * sin(_dir), _speed * cos(_dir),4];
after 10 seconds both _dummy and _groundHolder get delted, but before that they stop
oh damn! i thought i did
i am blind
hollow thistle
Simple objects have no physics afaik
