Then you can remove the if-statement too.

For some mods it is not that easy, but for this one you seemingly can.

Post RPT with the full error that you're getting

Is there any way to grep the config file

#

I am looking for an ALiVE mod specific intel item

frigid raven Sep 18, 2018, 5:57 PM

#

I cannot friggin add a intel document to my inventory ffs

#

[player, "CUP_Item_item_Cobalt_File"] call CBA_fnc_addWeapon;

always results in false

hollow thistle Sep 18, 2018, 6:06 PM

#

Have you tried CBA_fnc_addItem

frigid raven Sep 18, 2018, 6:07 PM

#

yes at first

#

drives me kinda nuts 😦

#

configfile >> "CfgVehicles" >> "CUP_Item_item_Cobalt_File"

that's the bad boy

#

Event this one doesnt work configfile >> "CfgVehicles" >> "Intel_File1_F"

hollow thistle Sep 18, 2018, 6:11 PM

#

Oh, I dont think you can add CfgVehicles stuff to inventory.

#

But I might be wrong 😅

meager heart Sep 18, 2018, 6:12 PM

CUP_Item_item_Cobalt_File -> CUP_item_Cobalt_File maybe 😃

@frigid raven

frigid raven Sep 18, 2018, 6:16 PM

#

But...

#

Ok some questions now...

#

1.) How can I figure out the "working" class name to use?

#

2.) When using [player, "CUP_item_Cobalt_File", true] call CBA_fnc_addWeapon; the document object is NOT added to my inventory BUT placed on the ground

#

That is partwise ok, since the function described that if my inventory is full that happens

#

Problem: Inventory is empty

meager heart Sep 18, 2018, 6:23 PM

#

CUP_item_Cobalt_File < ITEM

#

CBA_fnc_addWeapon < WEAPON

frigid raven Sep 18, 2018, 6:23 PM

or for real now - some items seem not "addable" to teh inventoriouz

Please say yes you are right, xetra11

@frigid raven getPlayerUID gets steamid64 ,

you have the command canAdd which checks if it can fit into your inventory

frigid raven Sep 18, 2018, 6:50 PM

ehm it is CBA I think

#

I saw the icon of it on the Editor

#

CBA Icon

#

A question - might it be that CfgWeapons can be picked up but cannot have any actions attached - but CfgVehicles can have Actions attached but cannot be picked up?

#

If so - then I understand why I am not able to add it to my inventory. These Intel Items yield an "Collect Intel" action

#

by "default" it seems

#

So... mybe that is the whole issue here where I am dangling around

#

Nah that theory does not work...

#

since configfile >> "CfgVehicles" >> "CUP_item_Cobalt_File" is CfgVehicle, too

#

and can be obtained

#

😦 meh I thought I had it 😢

meager heart Sep 18, 2018, 7:06 PM

frigid raven Sep 18, 2018, 9:00 PM

you assign _y to _x but... what is _y in that case

#

only _x is the magic variable

drowsy axle Sep 18, 2018, 9:00 PM

#

Okay... one sec. @frigid raven

#

_uniform _vest _backpack ```sqf
_uniform = ["classname"];
_vest = ["classname"];
_backpack = ["classname"];

{
_x = _playerUniform;
{
_x = _playerVest;
{
_x = _playerBackpack;

        unit1 forceAddUniform _playerUniform;
        unit1 addVest _playerVest;
        unit1 addBackpack _playerBackpack;

    } forEach _backpack;
} forEach _vest;

} forEach _uniform;```

#

This is just an example.

It's an ineffective way of adding the players stuff. But it gets the point across, I hope.

#

I hope this helps you understand @frigid raven

If you define _x as an undefined private variable, it's not going to work.

I know. Sorry okay.. xD

#

If you define _x as an undefined ~~private~~ local variable, it's not going to work. -- It's not private in this code.

#

If you want to be correct ;P @ruby breach

ruby breach Sep 18, 2018, 9:29 PM

#

Likely a slightly easier to understand example (although there's likely a better way to handle whatever you're doing than forEach) - ```sqf
{
_x params ["_var","_val"];
{_x setVariable[_var,_val];} forEach [Unit1,Unit2,Unit3];
} forEach [["var1","val1"],["var2","val2"]];

hollow thistle Sep 18, 2018, 11:14 PM

are you trippin on something?

#

I can guess _units is supposed to be array of classnames.

#

type createUnit [position, group, init, skill, rank]

Return Value:
Nothing - NOTE: THIS SYNTAX RETURNS NO UNIT REFERENCE!

#

So change first line of your for each to:

private _unit = CAP_UnitGroup createUnit [_x, position _objects];

Guys. You need to check this out... I am so proud of this.

All by my lonesome: ```sqf
_loadouts = selectRandom [
"RIFLE",
"UGL"

{
    CAP_unit = CAP_UnitGroup createUnit [_x, position _objects, [], 0,"NONE"];
    private _handler = [_loadouts] execVM 'CAP\loadout\rifleman.sqf';
    waitUntil {scriptDone _handler};
} forEach _units;```

#

Obvs excluding the things YOU wonderful peeps helped with.

#

params ["_loadout"];

if (_loadout isEqualTo "RIFLE") then ...```

#

oh wait. the _loadout needs to be within the {}forEach.

#

Otherwise each unit is the same.

Hmm does the engine assign a rank to each soldier? And I guess there's an option somewhere to make that rank visible to the players (eg. in front of the name in various contexts)? Possibly even with the graphics of the rank insignia?

@regal kraken ShackTac HUD does this, along with ACE.

You just have to move Profiles up a level

@frigid raven The best way to nest CfgFunctions is to do something similar to this:

        tag = "DT";
        class Systems {
            file = "\yourServer\functions";
            class yourFunction {};
        };
    };
};

Best way to do this

still forum Sep 20, 2018, 8:45 AM

#

As soon as you break out Arma 3 tools to upload someone elses mod to the workshop you become a topic in #ip_rights_violations

peak plover Sep 20, 2018, 8:45 AM

#

Is to create you mod preset (a mod with nothing in it)

#

And add all the other mods as requirements for it on steam

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 8:46 AM

#

wouldnt a collection do just that?

#

on the workshop side tho

peak plover Sep 20, 2018, 8:46 AM

#

Using your preset

errant jasper Sep 20, 2018, 8:46 AM

#

A collection is not a preset. A collection is just a list of mods. You have to manually enable the right mods in the launcher

peak plover Sep 20, 2018, 8:46 AM

#

You can clikc subscribe to all dependencies

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 8:47 AM

#

🤔

errant jasper Sep 20, 2018, 8:47 AM

#

A preset defines which mods should be enabled so you don't have too many or too few and the right ones activated.

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 8:47 AM

#

alright then

errant jasper Sep 20, 2018, 8:48 AM

#

But since almost no "organisers" bother to make presets, I use my own tool that takes a url to a steam collection and generates the preset file for me.

peak plover Sep 20, 2018, 8:49 AM

#

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=751965892
You see the required items?

#

You can make an empty mod

#

And add as many required mod as you want

#

When you then load this mod in arma 3 launcher

#

It will prompt you about subscribing to all required items

#

@errant jasper That seems like a good solution

#

I had a power shell script which downloaded mods and copied keys from the steam workshop. Only thing I had to change was 1 file with a list of steamworkshop IDs

#

For server

#

I'd really like that Bi made some decent implementation before the end of life for arma 3

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 8:51 AM

#

@peak plover ah alright. That seems to be the way I gonna go

peak plover Sep 20, 2018, 8:51 AM

#

Bi should really make both client and server side of things work flawlessly, it's not like the technology isn't out there

errant jasper Sep 20, 2018, 8:53 AM

#

Yeah, they should. My tool is a tiny web application so everybody can get the preset. Basically you give a link to my tool where you appended the steam collection url. To sharing the "collection" as a preset was simply sharing a url.

#

Don't understand why they even bother using "only" the steam query language, when it is unsuited for servers with more than a dozen mods.

Is there a way to lock access to groundholders near a vehicle or to a vehicle when near groundholders?

halcyon crypt Sep 20, 2018, 9:16 AM

if you're able to lock a vehicle then you should be able to lock the groundholder, right?

#

using the same inventory EH

still forum Sep 20, 2018, 9:17 AM

you cannot "lock" but you can immediately close again on inventory opened EH

sturdy cape Sep 20, 2018, 9:17 AM

#

Well i closedisplay (i think 602) when a variable is on the vehicle right now.

#

But if you access a groundholder next to the locked vehicle and select crate on the left list it will be accessible through this

#

It works for the vehicles inv but then again not with the groundholder "trick"

X39 why do you need default?

#

The param is not optional

sqf-vm

tough abyss Sep 20, 2018, 5:10 PM

#

So?

queen cargo Sep 20, 2018, 5:10 PM

#

alt. syntax allows to change output length of str

#

also, default length simply is important for equality re asons

#

though ... in this case just fuck it ... if one not parses numbers proper anyways, they are fucked on a different level 🙈 😄

tough abyss Sep 20, 2018, 5:12 PM

#

Use sprintf with "%g" for default

#

Then it will convert to scientific notation exactly when Arma does it

queen cargo Sep 20, 2018, 5:15 PM

#

nah ... will leave it like this

    std::stringstream sstream;
    sstream << std::setprecision(decimals) << mvalue;
    return sstream.str();

tough abyss Sep 20, 2018, 5:16 PM

#

Otherwise "%0.Nf" where N is 0...20

#

Ok, I thought the idea was to mimic Arma behaviour, no worries then

queen cargo Sep 20, 2018, 5:18 PM

#

yes ...

can't wait for all my knowledge on SQF to be thrown into the trash because it's the only language i know

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 6:50 PM

I gonna use SQF as a transition to get into the C++ world ... I started with C++ but never had a real usecase writing it

#

Now the time has come

#

Now... finally

Use Intercept to combine your SQF knowledge with your C++ knowledge 😄

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 6:51 PM

#

peeked into it

#

Is it like a framework for easier approach to arma 3 ?

still forum Sep 20, 2018, 6:51 PM

#

It's a Arma SQF SDK essentially

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 6:51 PM

#

So all teh SQF stuff is there available as C++

still forum Sep 20, 2018, 6:51 PM

#

Don't really know about the easier part

#

ye

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 6:51 PM

#

n-ice

#

think gonna swap to it when my mod has reached the first MVP

#

btw does intercept allow stuff like extensions do?

#

like calling a REST-API on a remote server application?

you can do everything a extension does

#

plus full SQF availability on top

#

you can also implement your own SQF commands :3

godlike

#

tbh I am glad to land here and the arma 3 mod stuff. I was always looking for a way to get more active on open source stuff over the years. started to join the rust community in the Chaos Computer Club in Cologne, Germany - but well. This shit was way too advanced for my trainee developer brain

#

Now I have finally reached a progress boost it development thx to arma scripting

are you CCC member? I always wanted to but never found the time

#

I also took off when I started work on TFAR. Before I was mostly doing stuff for myself

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 6:58 PM

#

Nah there is no real membership - but I live in Dusseldorf and my friends live in Cologne so I have major CCC spots around and often visit for talks or when I am drunk roaming around cologne 😄

I mean member aka "Vereinsmitglied"

#

I'm in Gelsenkirchen 😄

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 6:59 PM

#

Yea - I asked sb. and his response kinda told me u are a member as soon as you show yourself often enough

#

You can just walk in the CCCs

#

and sit down the couch and start hacking stuff

#

I visit the coworking spaces there often when I start tinkering on my microcontrollers tho

#

tools everywhere free for use ❤

#

love the IRC room entering device on the door that tells how many people are in the CCC actually via an IRC bot xD

#

@Dedmen so with Intercept could I use some 3rd party C++ libraries? (SQLite, etc.)

still forum Sep 20, 2018, 7:01 PM

#

yeah sure

tough abyss Sep 20, 2018, 7:01 PM

#

Sweet

still forum Sep 20, 2018, 7:01 PM

#

you can make SQF commands to directly issue SQL commands from SQF scripts

#

Only real downside is no battleye support (yet). So if you are trying to do public server clientside stuff that's kinda bad

#

But in my milsim group everyone runs intercept as we don't use BE ^^

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 7:03 PM

#

you have to "run" intercept?

#

can u explain this?

still forum Sep 20, 2018, 7:03 PM

Well it's a mod

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 7:03 PM

#

ah...okay 😮

still forum Sep 20, 2018, 7:03 PM

#

There is the host mod. Which is basically just a library like CBA.
And then you make your own mod with a Intercept plugin.
The host mod is basically just a bridge between your plugin and Arma itself

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 7:06 PM

ah okay

(allPlayers - entities "HeadlessClient_F") or [] call CBA_fnc_players to get only Huuumen players

These will be players joined mission though not connected to the server

The two go hand in hand. There is no reason to count those in lobby

As they're there temporarily

#define ALL_PLAYERS (allUnits + allDeadMen) select {isPlayer _x && {!(_x isKindOf "HeadlessClient_F")}}

Here it is. All in one place. https://github.com/AxeriusNetwork/EC-Public/tree/master/WaveDefense.VR

I had a look through it. Seems legit. However, I'm unsure about the call CAP_fnc's

Ah wait... Would this: https://github.com/AxeriusNetwork/EC-Public/blob/master/WaveDefense.VR/init.sqf ```sqf
InstructorGuy addAction ["Loadout: Rifleman.",{
player call CAP_fnc_removeAll;
player call CAP_fnc_RIFLE_West;
}];

InstructorGuy addAction ["Start Next Wave..",{
sleep 2.5;
CAP_StartWave = true;
playMusic "LeadTrack01_F_Bootcamp";
