if i set my file to ```sqf
#include "

"
It works, when the game loads i get the error
So the function is working
still forum
then the file path for your file is wrong
austere granite
your function probably doesnt exist, did you actually confirm the uiNamespace vs missionNamespace thing
with (uiNamespace) do { wtf?
no missionNamespace in 3den, unless you have already previewed a mission
minor lance
In my main menu there is a mission being loaded
and it exist i can check the contente in debug console
austere granite
then you might have it, but if you load with -world=Empty you wont
missionNamespace recreation in eden is a little weird
minor lance
I'm loading with mission path
my file contains this [] call compile preprocessFile "\pop_codigo\x.sqf";
And its not executing in game loading or mission loading
even in debug console it does nothing
only if I put it on variable watcher or whatever name it have it closes my game
still forum
no missionNamespace in 3den wut?
missionNamespace always exists
you can't just delete it
austere granite
if you load into 3den with what was before -world=Empty you won't have functions available in missionNamespace
it'll exist, but functions won't exist in it
minor lance
Im gonna try some more or i'll just delete the whole 3den dialogs functions and EVERYTHING KFHNWUJIAEGEFDEAofd
Its working o variable watcher
@still forum
minor lance
Im executing this shit ```diag_log time;
Its only being called when I press Play
uh

Isn't time existent only in active mission? 3DEN is not a mission AFAIK.

what can lead to getIn EH only have one parameter (the unit)
like first time launch in 2d editor
["FLAK - getIn",[B Alpha 1-1:1 (test),"driver",B Alpha 1-1:3,[]]]
["FLAK - getIn",[B Alpha 1-1:1 (test),"commander",B Alpha 1-1:1 (test),[0]]]
["FLAK - getIn",[B Alpha 1-1:1 (test),"gunner",B Alpha 1-1:2,[1]]]
restart mission (back to editor and start again)
["FLAK - getIn",[B Alpha 1-1:1 (test)]]
i think this is from/started with 1.84 as we should not have changed anything with the config EH definition
sick sorrel
if isServer then {[group this, getPos this, 200] call bis_fnc_taskPatrol;};
I copied this from a mission where it works just fine, and added it on a number of Group Leaders or Move-waypoints. now I'm getting errors that it's expecting an object, not a group ... why?
indigo snow
If you put it in the group init instead of the group leaders init, this is the group.

Thanks. It had indeed crept into a single group init

@velvet merlin 2D editor? Does it work ok in 3Den?

I know that PlayerViewChanged was also not firing when unit was in vehicle in editor, perhaps a bug, worth notifying @lavish ocean ?

what steps have you taken to debug this ?
haughty scarab
checked all the files it calls, read it over like 50 times, ran arma with show script errors
wary vine
cursorObject == fed_armory put that in your watch list and look at the object
haughty scarab
ok
wary vine
it should return true / false
if it returns any , there is no object with the name fed_armory

well then diag_log the _item at the beginning of the script
to see if it isEqualTo blastingcharge

meager granite
I'd optimize it even outside of this function and instead of empty array returned a nil, I assume you then do count _pos == 0 check.
params ["_pos"];
_pos params ["_xPos", "_yPos"];
if(_xPos < 0) exitWith {nil};
if(_yPos < 0) exitWith {nil};
if(_xPos > worldSize) exitWith {nil};
if(_yPos > worldSize) exitWith {nil};
if({
if(_pos inArea _x) exitWith {1};
} count getArray(missionconfigfile >> "Lega_RandomDealers_Config" >> "BlacklistedAreas") > 0) exitWith {nil};
if({
if(_pos distance2d _x < Lega_DistanceBetween) exitWith {1};
} count Lega_dealerPositions) exitWith {nil};
_pos;
@wary vine
Change nil to [] if you need empty array specifically
wary vine
ill take a look thanks
Lega_fnc_getDealerMarkers = {
private _maxDealers = 5;
for "_i" from 0 to _maxDealers do {
while {true} do {
private _postoCheck = [[(worldSize / 2), (worldSize / 2)], 0, (worldSize / 2), 10, 0, 0, 0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos;
private _pos = [_postoCheck] call Lega_fnc_checkPosition;
if !(isNil _pos) exitWith {};
};
Lega_dealerPositions pushBack _pos;
};
};
Lega_fnc_checkPosition = {
params ["_pos"];
_pos params ["_xPos", "_yPos"];
if(_xPos < 0) exitWith {nil};
if(_yPos < 0) exitWith {nil};
if(_xPos > worldSize) exitWith {nil};
if(_yPos > worldSize) exitWith {nil};
if({
if(_pos inArea _x) exitWith {1};

if({
if(_pos distance2d _x < Lega_DistanceBetween) exitWith {1};
} count Lega_dealerPositions) exitWith {nil};
_pos;
};
``` is what i have so far with what you gave meShould be !(isNil"_pos")
Also why [_posotCheck] and not just send the position itself? Needless array layer.
wary vine
meager granite
Do you need this on each frame or something?
meager granite
Also wasn't BIS_fnc_findSafePos returning empty arrays?
wary vine
that why i check for empty arrays
meager granite
diag_codePerformance has number of cycles param in it
Its what this benchmark button does but I guess it always tries to do 10k cycles
meager granite
BIS_fnc_findSafePos is heaviest part of your script, it does 3000 random position checks
How long is server run time, I assume its some persistent mission? What is this period you mentioned?
wary vine
every x minutes , then a pause for x minutes on a loopp
it should be ok
Lega_dealerPositions will be reset on each loop
meager granite
Well if you'll run it in scheduled environment it should be okay (might take some time depending on how clogged your scheduled is)
wary vine
[] spawn {
for "_i" from 0 to 1 step 0 do {
[] call Lega_fnc_getDealerPositions;
private _timeSpawned = diag_tickTime;
systemChat "spawning dealers";
waitUntil {
uiSleep 1;
((diag_tickTime - _timeSpawned) >= StayTimer);
};
private _timeRemoved = diag_tickTime;
systemChat "dealers removed";
waitUntil {
uiSleep 1;
((diag_tickTime - _timeRemoved) >= SpawnTimer);
};
};
};
``` something like that is what it will beWhat are these stay\spawn timers? Seconds, minutes, hours?
wary vine
it will be in seconds
meager granite
Hm
Well if you want to improve script performance more, learn what findSafePos does and have your own implementation that does exactly what you want with less overhead.
wary vine
ill take a look now
meager granite
If you want extreme performance improvement, I suggest to parse entire map on server start and then simply select positions from pre-parsed array. You may even cache these parsed values in server's profileNamespace or through extension to avoid re-calculating same thing each restart, only do that on worldName change.
wary vine
i could litteraly just do [(worldSize /2), (worldSize / 2] with some object checks
meager granite
Try and see if your check is suitable for you and quicker than BI function.
fossil yew
Did they change createVehicle? It seems it just creates a shallow object instead of AI. Example:
private _driver = _driverClassName createVehicle _startingPosition;
AI is created but it's frozen.
obsidian kiln
i don't think so... if they had changed it then 99% of scripts and missions would be broken by now...

if ((count Lega_dealerPositions) > 0) then { is useless. Giving an empty array to forEach just does nothing. You don't need to check.
if (_pos inArea _x) exitWith { That sounds like it could be a findIf?
if ((_pos distance _x) < Lega_DistanceBetween) exitWith { same here. findIf

The variable stores the unit, player or not. It becomes null when that body gets deleted.
Instead of null check do isPlayer currentUnit

Hi, @tough abyss was so friendly to send me some targeting code for a guided missile/bomb. I want to adjust it for the Unsung GBU-8 glidebomb, but run into problem with moving from CBA per frame eventhandler to OnEachFrame of BI. With the OnEachFrame handler I get script errors as some stuff doesn't seem to be properly initialized. With CBA per frame this didn't happen and the bomb homed in on the target. The calling code is at https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/kGM7jv4xyQ/ and the OnEachFrame handler is at https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/NQQ8GwT3cV/ Any ideas what breaks it are welcome!

I am having problem with particle sources to staying in air. I do want to show a particle effect in the sky and it keeps emitting them on the ground instead. The weird thing it, it sometimes works just fine and the particles are visible when looking up.
I am attaching the particlesource to an object in the sky which has no physics.
private _pos = getPosATL device;
_pos set [2, _pos#2 + 500];
private _stupidObjectInSky = "Land_HelipadEmpty_F" createVehicleLocal _pos;
_stupidObjectInSky setposatl _pos;
private _skyEffect = "#particlesource" createVehicleLocal _pos;
_skyEffect setParticleParams [["\A3\data_f\VolumeLight", 1, 0, 1], "", "SpaceObject", 1,90,[0,0,0],[0,0,0],0,9.996,7.84,0,[20,30,20],[[0,0,0,0],[1,1,0.25,1],[0.5,1,0.5,0]],[0.08],1,0,"","", _stupidObjectInSky];
anyone has an idea why the particle source just gives up and is on the surface?
meager heart
maybe you can try attach it
digital jacinth
nah using attachTo with a particle source does not work. If you do that no particles will even show up, you have to attach it through setParticleParams

compact maple
aaah... that safezone system, solution is : kick the player if they didnt chose the right res scale
wary vine
i wanna hang myself right now
its the only thing that wont play nice right now
everything else works fine on all res scales,
i thought it was the issue of creating a ctrlGroup inside another, it seems to have calmed the issue down, but not fixed it

meager heart
you are using safezones with absolutes ?
wary vine
nah
it was all built with just safezone
https://hastebin.com/bokeceyupu.cpp here are all the controls
with the positions preset for the first one
which took me fecking ages
moving them around till they were in the right place

they are structured texts with pictures ?

just pictures
wary vine
right, I might be able to do a work around
[
position , uiscale,
position, uiscale

wary vine
_position = [
[[x,y,w,h], 0.55]
] select {_x select 1 isEqualTo (getResolution select 5)};
Dirty, but should work
as a temp solution until i find a fix
meager heart
gl π
wary vine
just means i have to find all the positions manually -.-
before i do this are all uiscales the same on all pcs ?
i.e small being 0.55
queen cargo
What exactly is the problem?
wary vine
ill show
this is normal res scale
but this is the only menu in my phone that does this.
queen cargo
And probably the only one where you played around with
Cannot remember the right fiel, but what you see there is the shadow of the Button
Gimme few Minutes till I am at home or search for yourself π
After disabling shadow, you should be fine
queen cargo
Wait... Are you using Text above Buttons?
wary vine
?
i have changed the invisible buttons to normal buttons whilst im trying to fix it
the buttons should like up with the buttons on the image underneath
on small resoultion they line up perfect
but when the uiscale is changed they go haywire
_position = [
[
[x,y,w,h]// ctrl1
[x,y,w,h]// ctrl2
[x,y,w,h]// ctrl3
[x,y,w,h]// ctrl4
[x,y,w,h]// ctrl5
[x,y,w,h]// ctrl6
[x,y,w,h]// ctrl7
, 0.55],
[
[x,y,w,h]// ctrl1
[x,y,w,h]// ctrl2
[x,y,w,h]// ctrl3
[x,y,w,h]// ctrl4
[x,y,w,h]// ctrl5
[x,y,w,h]// ctrl6
[x,y,w,h]// ctrl7
, 0.7]
] select {_x select 1 isEqualTo (getResolution select 5)};
``` so my idea for now is to do something like this with hardcoded positions for each uiscalehow are you hiding those buttons?
queen cargo
how are you hiding those buttons? did not answerred my question

animTextureFocused = "#(argb,8,8,3)color(0,0,0,0)";
animTexturePressed = "#(argb,8,8,3)color(0,0,0,0)";
animTextureDefault = "#(argb,8,8,3)color(0,0,0,0)";
colorBackground[] = {0,0,0,0};
colorBackgroundFocused[] = {0,0,0,0};
colorBackground2[] = {0,0,0,0};
color[] = {0,0,0,0};
colorFocused[] = {0,0,0,0};
color2[] = {0,0,0,0};
colorText[] = {0,0,0,0};
colorDisabled[] = {0,0,0,0};
add this: colorShadow[] = {0, 0, 0, 0}; or alt. add offsetX = 0; offsetY = 0;
should fix that problem
wary vine
i don't think you are 100% understanding the issue, the buttons are perfect when on small resolution scale
and its not just the buttons that are moving

and either you fucked up your button positioning, or .. not
the scrolling happening with SQF? or is it all config based?

Hello All, I would like to count the number of magazines depending on a specific type inside a box
_countOfMagsGlobal = getMagazineCargo AmmoBox_TeamBlue;
_countOfMags = {typeOf _x == "7Rnd_408_Mag"} count _countOfMagsGlobal;
The answer is in there
You handle it like it would return an array of objects.. it doesn't though
quartz coyote
I see. this is what I get :
[["SmokeShell","7Rnd_408_Mag","1Rnd_HE_Grenade_shell","30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag","RPG32_HE_F"],[10,50,10,70,1]]
_countOfMagsGlobal = getMagazineCargo AmmoBox_TeamBlue;
_countOfMags = {typeOf _x == "7Rnd_408_Mag"} count _countOfMagsGlobal select 0;```
maybe ?I have no clue
Syntax:
condition count array```it does say I can put an Array ...
quartz coyote
oh .
still forum
that's an array of strings I even said it's an array
typeOf is used to get the classname of an object
And "get the classname" and "an object" both don't make sense
for one you already have the classnames there. Second you don't have objects there.. because they are the classnames
You'll need find or findIf to find the index of the magazine type you want
and then use select on the second array to get the number at that index
quartz coyote
holy fuck
I might as well throw myself through the window.
if that's the simple way, what's the difficult way ... pfff
still forum
difficult way would be to iterate through the classnames randomly using a custom SQF random number generator using a case-sensitive comparison and also use random upper/lowercase variants of the classname to search for till you find it someday

quartz coyote
I thought it was returning 1 is if it said "YES I FOUND IT"

Thats probably not working
if (_magsIndex == -1) then
you are setting a local variable
tough abyss
what do you think _magsIndex returns
still forum
local variables are set in their own scope or below
you leave that scope right at the } where the variable disappears
what you are trying to do can be done nicely with param
Just
_magsCount = (_arrayOfMagsInBox select 1) param [_magsIndex, 0];

Oh

I have a script with one local function assigned to _someFunction without private keyword. However that private variable is not available in the [something] spawn { code goes here } started within the same script and it's a bit confusing. Isn't _someFunction available throughout the entire script or does spawn create it's own context?
still forum
spawn is a new script with it's own context
as it runs asynchronously it has to be
That's also the reason why you can pass parameters into it
in case you want to pass anything

Im trying to setup the ASOR VS for spawning vics on carriers, but something im doing is causing certain "car" vehicles engines to break (HUD icon turns on for half a second) example being the engines for the Apex jeep, LoW Van and the RHS MRZR dont work, but the quadbike, SUV, and BAF Coyote work fine, and all armoured/air vics work fine. Carrier script > https://pastebin.com/NR20kH04 . Normal Land scrip (works fine) > https://pastebin.com/PZXEiNNZ
PS: seems to be a dedi issue. Got another client on, they could turn on the vics i spawned, they could turn on vics they spawned and i could turn on vics they spawned but only after they had turned it on and off. π

Is it at all possible to have "virtual" inventory items, using vanilla UI? Just wondering if someone tried lbAdd and so to the UI elements and have things still work
unborn ether
@austere granite No, vanilla LB are not exactly LB.
@austere granite You can add them to that LB, but they will react with errors, depending they are scripted for real inventory items, so its not the best idea.

Create your own LB and switch them as a tabs or smthn.
austere granite
Guess i'll just add a little subsection to the inventry UI instead then, with the virtual stuff.
merci
queen cargo
the vanilla inv should be LNbox btw.
at least they should be π€
but normal inv is also, iirc, highly modified in the actual code backend and not scripted
if one wants to try, corresponding commands for listnbox is https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/lnbAddRow
not really have the inventory in front of me ... so could be wrong entirely
austere granite
I know how i into UI, it was more a case if someone tried it and you get stuck at random points due to hardcoded backend behavior like the usual BIS UI things
queen cargo
yup
wanted to write that
most likely some non-sqf code will update your virtual stuff away
though, adding a separate list ontop should be fairly simple
replacing the inventory could also be an option for some
though ... fairly tuff task

h="18.4 * ( ( ((safezoneW / safezoneH) min 1.2) / 1.2) / 25)";
};
GroundContainer is inherited by any other lists in Display 602.
So is a RscListBox but it's different from default one. It's handled by engine internally and has some additional data to it, like itemBackground[]={1,1,1,0.1}; which is not a listbox family attribute.
That listbox is actually acting like an Active Text over listbox entries.

// Create PFH for sectors activation check

// If we checked whole list, reinitialize the list
if (_sectors isEqualTo []) then {
systemChat format["Exec time: %1", (time - _startTime)]; // DEBUG
[] call (_this getVariable "start");

// Extract current sector from array
private _currentSector = _sectors deleteAt (random count _sectors);
_currentSector setMarkerColor "ColorYellow"; // DEBUG
// CHECK SECTOR ACTIVATION CONDITONS HERE

_initFunction, // Start func
{}, // End func
{KPLIB_campaignRunning}, // Run condition

{_wh addItemCargoGlobal [_x,1]} forEach (backpackItems player);

You can use action tho, but it's interruptible AFAIK.

When using addAction I can add a condition script. Since I was able to have the action handling script referencing to a .sqf file - it seems it is not possible for the condition parameter. Am I right here or just bad luck kinda?

You can but this will be huge overkill and impact on performance, the idea is to keep condition as simple and as light as possible, besides many checks that usually used in condition like distance check were moved to optional params already.
