"HandleDamage" allows you to override the damage being applied to the object, so in this case you're essentially limiting the damage to 0.9. "_this select 2" is the current damage, so "(_this select 2) min 0.9" is saying apply the normal damage if it's less than 0.9 otherwise return 0.9.

Hi guys. With playSound3d I can use a mempoint for location of sound with soundPosition. Is it a hackish way of doing the same thing with say3d? Id rather use say3d cause the script is runned using execVM. With playSound3d the sound is played double
digital jacinth
playsound3d is propageted to all machines and only should be ran once. also the sound will be staying at the same location if you play it.
say3d requires a description.ext cfgsound entry
and needs to be remote exec'd
nocturne basalt
Yes but if you remote exec playSound3d its broadcasted twice it seems. Since the function itself broadcasts on network
digital jacinth
correct, you should never remotexec playsound3d
nocturne basalt
Yeah that why Im leaning on say3d, but the position thing is a nice feature
My script playing the sound needs to be remotely executed
digital jacinth
say3d also has a drawback that it needs an alive object to be played on
if a unit dies the sound will stop instantly
nocturne basalt
Thats not really a problem
digital jacinth
also playing multiple sounds at the same time on that object is not possible, it will stakc up and play after each other
nocturne basalt
I wish I could disable broadcast on playSound3d 🤔
Guess I could create an object on the location I want the sound to be played using say3d, but that seems like alot of hassle
nocturne basalt
The sound is part of a bigger code that is running remotely. It is triggered when certain conditions are met. It makes it hard to playSound from another script not runned remotely
Wait a minute.. What happens if I use exec inside of an execVM? Would that work?
Exec a script that runs playSound3d
digital jacinth
uh. so that script is running on all machines or just one? if it is just one, then it is easy. Right now i do not really understand the whole construct you are trying to achieve.

I have creation rights to a mod on the workshop, but the Publisher tool isn't giving me an option to update it. Anyone know a fix?

Im telling each Client to animate the legs of a mech. I want to play the walking sounds from the correct positions in the legs
hollow thistle
@tough abyss afaik only owner can update mod. Other creators can only moderate comments etc.
nocturne basalt
@digital jacinth that basically it. And the mech that is animated is a local object so I dont spam the network with animation packets. They are runned very frequently
tough abyss
Really? I havent been able to find that answer a anywhere. Thats a terrible system if so
digital jacinth
@nocturne basalt how frequent? depends now if broadcasting that throught he system is worth it or not
nocturne basalt
I have another mod already that broadcasts everything and it causes desync in mp
To solve that Im using an invisible tank with a local object attached to it
Works perfectly
My only issue is the sound positions. Dont want them double and dont want them all to be played from the center of the object
digital jacinth
best would then spawn a local object attach it to the mem point, hide it and say3d on it.
delete it with the mech itself
tough abyss
So far as im aware 3d sounds dont follow objects though, right?
digital jacinth
say3d does.

simpler inventory sounds neat. I'm fantasizing about a version that is not quite BF2, but more restrictive than A3.
E.g. you can drop and add stuff in your inventory, but if you pick up a different weapon from somebody you must change vest as well and stuff like that.
(because my vests are basically just webbing kits with different pouches fitted to the role of the weapon in use)
peak plover
I'd imagine there could be an option to restrict only friendly uniform/vest/helmet.
ex.
pick up enemy kit, get the enemy gun, but appearance of a the player faction of the picked up class

hmm ... i'm trying to force an AI tank to turn towards a target (fairly precisely). He starts turning with
_tank sendSimpleCommand "LEFT";
when i stop him with
_tank sendSimpleCommand "STOPTURNING";
he keeps turning for a random amount (somewhere between 10-100 degrees) before he stops. Anybody got an idea how to make him stop more precisely? Is it possible to freeze the vehicle in place in some way for a short period , without resorting to setDir every frame?
meager heart
doStop ?
austere hawk
does not work for tank that is told to turn left permanently
it just keeps spinning
meager heart
also you can try move and orient that tank with setDriveOnPath
austere hawk
hm that seems to work once, but after i command doStop once it refuses to repeat it
or maybe i goofed somewhere...
ah yes indeed, forgot an abs()
austere hawk
got it now, used setDriveOnPath, and use a position behind the vehicle and then check until the right orientation is achieved. Gives me 10-15° accuracy, and with some finetuning i got within 4°
austere hawk
next problem: doStop works without problem if the unit is on it's own. If it's in the player's group it also works but only until the player gives the first move order. After that it no longer works. Is there a way to fix that?
austere hawk
no, when i give them a move command, then execute my script they ignore the doStop commands. They complete the move order until setdriveonPath is executed, which they then fully complete (which is not what i want)
https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/217556-change-orientation-of-tank/?tab=comments#comment-3299624
I pick position behind vehicle (or 150° specifically, so i know which way it turns) and then use setDriveOnPath. As soon as the desired orientation is reached it is supposed to stop via dostop
if required rotation is > 120° i use simpleCommand "LEFT" a bit, to get below 100°, so i know it will turn in the right direction with setDriveOnPath, and not drive towards the position
meager heart
afaik move that is almost the same as doMove waitUntil{unitReady _unit}; doStop

@austere hawk try maybe tankD stop true, that's a real stopper (AI won't turn around to shoot at an enemy)

@winter rose tried it, "_vehicle stop true" did nothing either (also tried "_commander stop true")
austere hawk
hm weird. I think i may have broken AI some way that carried over even after mission starts (was unable to command anybody) which may have influenced this - so i guess i can repeat all tests now -.-"
ok again, if a player orders his AI to Move to somewhere, doStop does nothing.
If player orders his AI to stop, it cant start moving with doMove
tough abyss
The only way I know is to use disableAI to turn off movement, that works but you also need to enableAI to undo the stopping to get them to move again and it is a bit of a pain keeping track of it.
austere hawk
for a vehicle, can i just turn off AI for the driver, or does it need to be the effective commander or the entire vehicle?

@tough abyss just driver is ok. But once i enableAI again it resumes the players move command, so it can't make the AI stop. Also, if the player issues STOP command it won't react to scripted move commands it seems. The only case where i can controll the unit is, when player tells them to regroup first.
tough abyss
Good to know, I'll keep in mind I don't have the same level of control with AI in vehicles then

cant even commandFollow or doFollow to interrupt the move order given by player - it just keeps doing his move, and only after that will regroup

So if you teleport a unit by the default way, it doesnt take their vehicle. So hide the unit, teleport them away, then move them into the second vehicle’s cargo, unhidr. You may be able to just force eject them then move them into the next vehicle-and skip the teleport

Anyone up for a camera challenge? Because i've got a difficult problem.
Basically i want a camera to follow a moving target like a vehicle or player with a certain offset (this can be done using code example #1), however i also want to do this whilst not having the camera follow the target's direction (which is what occurs with example#1).
I have have tried example#2, which should work logically, however this generates severe stuttering with the camera. I assume the stuttering is caused by the performance of the setPos or camSetPos command or something.
Does anyone have any suggestions to make this run more smoothly?
Example #1:
showCinemaBorder false;
sp_followingCamera = "camera" camCreate [0,0,0];
sp_followingCamera cameraEffect ["Internal", "BACK"];
sp_followingCamera camSetTarget _camTarget;
sp_followingCamera camSetFov 1;
cameraEffectEnableHUD true;
sp_followingCamera camCommit 0;
waitUntil {
if (!sp_followCam) exitWith {true};
sp_followingCamera camSetRelPos [-2,1,3];
sp_followingCamera camCommit 0;
};
Example#2:

That won't work. Atleast I would just kill the script

you can as I said store the script handle

@quartz coyote Well it depends if you are working in an scheduled Enviroment or unscheduled Enviroment https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Scheduler#Scheduled_Environment
if a code can't suspend then you can't use sleep, waitUnitl, uiSleep.

@gray thistle ooh .... thanks ...

@quartz coyote had the same problems 😄

So how did you pause your script ?
gray thistle
it depends on the script really. spawn, execVM and exec are the keywords. You will find all information in this article
Read under the headline "Threads"
quartz coyote
It's a remoteExec lol ...

remoteExec spawn then
or remoteExec a script.. remoteExec'd scripts are scheduled by default I think
just don't remoteExecCall
quartz coyote
it's a strang situation, i'm remoteExecing a script that sends a displaySetEventHandler on a keyboard press
so the script i'm trying to pause is in the _keyActivate variable

so it has nothing to do with remoteExec at all but you are trying to pause inside a eventhandler?

that would be it I guess

@meager heart Hey, is there a difference between camPreparePos and camSetPos. They both seem to do the same thing, is the prepare version just faster or something?

camPreparePos uses camCommitPrepared. camSetPos uses camCommit
you can have 2 set's of changes ready. And only apply one and later the other

limpid pewter
So if i understand correctly, if you have two camPreparePos commands, but then only execute 1 camCommitPrepared command, the first camPreparePos called with be the position the camera will move to? and then if a second camCommitPrepared is called the second will be run even if both are called like this ```sqf
camPreparePos _pos1;
camPreparePos _pos2;
camCommitPrepare 0; //will only commit to _pos1
camCommitPrepare 0; //will only commit to _pos2
Essentially they will not over write each other?or is it you can have 1 prepared and as many normal camSetPos and them commit to the single prepared one anytime in the future? <----Feel like it is this one after reading what you've said again

A local variable in a global namespace can work. But doesn't make much sense
long hatch
Transform the String back to an Object
because when i use _tpbase it says "Error Type String, expected Object"
_tpbase should be the Object where the Actions would be attached to
still forum
so you are passing a variable as a string to that function?
why?
Why not just pass the object directly?
and you are not getting a variable by the name of what's inside _tbase. You are getting the variable "_tbase"
which is probably undefined

You need to update the list when the text in the box changes

But there's no event for that

one way to do it is to make a loop, which checks if the text has changed
or you can try experimenting with doing the key down EH

while { alive enemyTank } do

["myMarker", 1] call BIS_fnc_moduleFDFadeMarker;
["myMarker", 0] call BIS_fnc_moduleFDFadeMarker;

also, does call still accept string as parameter?

call accepts ANY as parameter

I don't understand your intentions to begin with. What are you trying yo acheive??
You wouldn't be able to modify the command with the raw source as it is.

look at commands/scripts/whatever that are not explicitly labeled as functions, as sometimes, such in this case, its unclear what is modifiable and what isn't.

setRank is a engine command. Not a function.

You can edit setRank command if you really wanted to.. But why ^^
@tough abyss setRank supports:

SERGEANT
LIEUTENANT
CAPTAIN
MAJOR
COLONEL
And that's it. Just as the wiki says.
and some check CfgRanks Yeah.. CfgRanks (If you'd look at config viewer you'd see that) contains these Rank names and also icons and additional info that can be used for display purposes
So if they use CfgRanks they prooobably are doing that to get the icon
tough abyss
probably, yeah. just one of those things that's partially config, partially hard coded I suppose. gave the CfgRanks an addition, and setRank will only accept those hard-coded values. Which is weird as the... set Rank Module, I think it is, or another rank call, checks CfgRanks. ORBAT does too.
although it was still mostly meant as an example to find source code, it is something i was fiddling with. i'll have to do ranks manually for my group then, ripperoni.

// Defines all players who should be promoted to zeus upon connection.
#define zeusUIDs ["xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"]
// Defines all modules. Each module is connected to the player in the above list.
#define zeusModules [zeus0, zeus1]``````sqf
-init.sqf
zeusUIDs = ["xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx","xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"];
zeusModules = [zeus0, zeus1];```
gleaming oyster
with
#define zeusUIDs ["x","x"];
it'll replace zeusUIDs with ["x","x"];
#define zeusUIDs["x","x"];
hint format["%1",zeusUIDs]; //["x","x"];
the zeusUIDs = ["x","x"];
will be stored in memory and have the ability to be available on the pc or other pcs.
drowsy axle
Does this have an affect on the usability of the variables zeusUID and zeusModules, either of these uses?
gleaming oyster
Nope. Not that I know of.
drowsy axle
Do they achieve the same thing, different ways?
gleaming oyster
Sure. One is stored in memory ,one is not.
drowsy axle
So the defines cannot be changed?
gleaming oyster
During runtime? I don't know for sure, but my guess would be no.
drowsy axle
the x's are PlayerUID's which option do you think is best?
gleaming oyster
I think the below example would be faster. However, I don't know which would be best.
depends on where and when you need to access it I guess. iirc #define will only set the definition inside that script and nowhere else. So.
drowsy axle
Do you think it would be effective to have a foreach for the zeusModules, so that zeusUID could be changed multiple times?
gleaming oyster
forEach for what array? why would zeusUID need to change?
drowsy axle
Able to add more ZeusUID in-game.
Without stopping the mission, to mess with configs.
gleaming oyster
just make a fnc that acts as a setter for the _zeusUID variable. Which in this case it sounds like you may just want to use the below example you provided

Yup. I thought so.

@drowsy axle Does this have an affect on the usability of the variables zeusUID and zeusModules, either of these uses Yes.
#define is a preprocessor command. They are resolved before your script is compiled. Meaning
#define zeusUIDs ["xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"]
#define zeusModules [zeus0, zeus1]
zeusUIDs = ["xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx","xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"];
zeusModules = [zeus0, zeus1];
will get preprocessed to
["xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"] = ["xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx","xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"];
[zeus0, zeus1] = [zeus0, zeus1];
which obviously won't work at all.

So I'm trying to loop a CPR animation which happens to work completely fine with a smooth transition in the animation viewer through the debug console. I looked into fn_animViewer.sqf, and I've copied how they loop animations but for some reason it is working nothing like it does in the animation viewer. Any ideas?
still forum
that while true loop get some sleep
because it loops endlessly till the 3ms limit (or 10k maybe)
what does "working nothing like it does" mean?
warm gorge
Yeah this was just for testing it won't actually be an endless loop like that. And when I say it works nothing like it does in the animation viewer. In the animation viewer, the unit stays crouched the whole time performing the CPR animation and looping it over and over. But when I run this script, it plays the animation, then the player ends up standing up before the animation plays again a few seconds later.
warm gorge
Made no difference unfortunately. Could it have anything to do with the fact that I'm using playMoveNow, rather than switchMove like the animation viewer? It's just when I use switchMove, it is even more buggier and doesn't even play the animation properly.
still forum
I don't do animation stuff. Don't know.
But it should definetly make a difference if you restart the animation sooner. Maybe your loop always is too late because of scheduled. You could use AnimChanged EH instead to wait for when the unit tries to get into a different atnimation.
