What do you mean?>

#

Ik about CfgFunctions but what specifically is better than just a normal var

meager heart Sep 20, 2018, 9:32 PM

https://github.com/AxeriusNetwork/EC-Public/blob/master/WaveDefense.VR/init.sqf
that ^

tough abyss Sep 20, 2018, 9:33 PM

#

You have infinite loop spawning infinite scripts

#

In playerInitLocal

#

That will soon deplete Arma of all resources

drowsy axle Sep 20, 2018, 9:33 PM

#

The sqf [] spawn { [ ["VR SYSTEM","Welcome to Wave Defence! Contact your Instructor to get your Loadout!",0] ] spawn BIS_fnc_EXP_camp_playSubtitles; while {CAP_WaitingWave} do { [ ["VR SYSTEM","Waiting to start the Next Wave. Contact your Instructor!",0], ["VR SYSTEM","Waiting to start the Next Wave.. Contact your Instructor!",4], ["VR SYSTEM","Waiting to start the Next Wave... Contact your Instructor!",8] ] spawn BIS_fnc_EXP_camp_playSubtitles; }; };?

tough abyss Sep 20, 2018, 9:34 PM

#

While loop

#

When it runs, if it runs, it spawns millions of scripts

#

Very quickly

#

Maybe you forgot to add sleep to it

drowsy axle Sep 20, 2018, 9:36 PM

#

0 4 8 are timers between each title

tough abyss Sep 20, 2018, 9:37 PM

#

I don’t see any timers

meager heart Sep 20, 2018, 9:37 PM

#

better just delete that thingy, make function for those messages and call it from your main loop on the server

tough abyss Sep 20, 2018, 9:37 PM

#

I see while true spawn

#

That is non stop spawning shit

drowsy axle Sep 20, 2018, 9:38 PM

#

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_EXP_camp_playSubtitles

tough abyss Sep 20, 2018, 9:38 PM

#

You spawn that function

#

You can put elephant in it

#

It returns almost immediately and spawns another

#

And so on

#

Spawn returns handle immediately

#

It doesn’t wait for script to finish

drowsy axle Sep 20, 2018, 9:40 PM

#

Would that help?? idu ```sqf
[
["VR SYSTEM","Welcome to Wave Defence! Contact your Instructor to get your Loadout!",0]
] spawn BIS_fnc_EXP_camp_playSubtitles;

if (CAP_WaitingWave) then {
[
["VR SYSTEM","Waiting to start the Next Wave. Contact your Instructor!",0],
["VR SYSTEM","Waiting to start the Next Wave.. Contact your Instructor!",4],
["VR SYSTEM","Waiting to start the Next Wave... Contact your Instructor!",8]

Nope

drowsy axle Sep 20, 2018, 9:40 PM

You don’t understand what I’m saying

drowsy axle Sep 20, 2018, 9:41 PM

#

Updated

#

I don't need it to repeat.

#

I think three times is enough to prompt the player to know what to do.

tough abyss Sep 20, 2018, 9:42 PM

#

Don’t put it in a loop if you don’t want repetition

drowsy axle Sep 20, 2018, 9:42 PM

#

I did want repetition.

#

But if it causes those issues, then I can just deal with it thwice.

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 9:42 PM

getPlayerUID has troubles with player references? I made a remoteExec with player as an argument. Now params ["_player"]; getPlayerUID _player; returns an unexpected result. Read the doc but could not really realise if it is a problem or not

ruby breach Sep 20, 2018, 9:42 PM

#

What is the "unexpected result"

drowsy axle Sep 20, 2018, 9:43 PM

#

@frigid raven Why not use _this lose the params

tough abyss Sep 20, 2018, 9:43 PM

#

What remote exec look like

drowsy axle Sep 20, 2018, 9:43 PM

#

If the remoteExec passes Player, then isn't it _this?

ruby breach Sep 20, 2018, 9:44 PM

#

Cap, that BIS function already has repetition built into it. No need to try and loop it

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 9:44 PM

#

wait a sec if I do

{_x} forEach allPlayers

is _x == player ?

drowsy axle Sep 20, 2018, 9:44 PM

#

Yes

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 9:44 PM

#

uh ok

drowsy axle Sep 20, 2018, 9:44 PM

#

allPlayer (as stated above includes HC)

ruby breach Sep 20, 2018, 9:44 PM

#

Players and headless clients

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 9:44 PM

#

thought it wouldnt have the UID property applied or something

tough abyss Sep 20, 2018, 9:44 PM

#

Some _x might be player

ruby breach Sep 20, 2018, 9:45 PM

#

wouldnt have the UID property applied wat

drowsy axle Sep 20, 2018, 9:45 PM

#

{_x} forEach allPlayers && isPlayer;```

ruby breach Sep 20, 2018, 9:45 PM

#

Lolno

tough abyss Sep 20, 2018, 9:46 PM

#

IsPlayer is Boolean you cannot add Boolean to array

rotund cypress Sep 20, 2018, 9:46 PM

#

{ _x; true; } count allPlayers select isPlayer

#

If I recall correctly

#

That is if I understand what you want to do

tough abyss Sep 20, 2018, 9:46 PM

#

That code won’t run

drowsy axle Sep 20, 2018, 9:47 PM

#

{
if !(_x isEqualTo isPlayer) exitWith{};
_x ..blah..
} forEach allPlayers;```

ruby breach Sep 20, 2018, 9:47 PM

#

allPlayers select {isPlayer _x};

tough abyss Sep 20, 2018, 9:47 PM

#

= is assignment not equality

drowsy axle Sep 20, 2018, 9:47 PM

#

fuk me lol

#

soz

#

brainfart

rotund cypress Sep 20, 2018, 9:47 PM

#

@ruby breach he still needs to do something with the array though so I guess thats why he wants to use a loop

tough abyss Sep 20, 2018, 9:48 PM

#

🤦‍♂️ I’m outta here, see ya

drowsy axle Sep 20, 2018, 9:48 PM

#

bai @tough abyss

ruby breach Sep 20, 2018, 9:48 PM

#

I'm not sure what xetra is trying to do with the list of players. I know Cap doesn't need a loop because he's using a BIS function with a built in loop/delay system

drowsy axle Sep 20, 2018, 9:49 PM

#

@ruby breach I sorted that out. But thanks.

meager heart Sep 20, 2018, 9:49 PM

#

maybe he just likes loops

rotund cypress Sep 20, 2018, 9:49 PM

#

Also I think doing sqf { isPlayer _x } count allPlayers works to

#

And I think its faster

meager heart Sep 20, 2018, 9:49 PM

#

no

ruby breach Sep 20, 2018, 9:49 PM

#

no

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 9:50 PM

#

no (i dont understand shit)

drowsy axle Sep 20, 2018, 9:50 PM

#

allUnits addEventHandler ["Killed", {
    params ["_unit", "_killer", "_instigator", "_useEffects"];
        sleep 2.5;
        deleteVehicle _unit;
}];``` Does this work @meager heart

meager heart Sep 20, 2018, 9:50 PM

#

no

ruby breach Sep 20, 2018, 9:50 PM

#

count doesn't return an array of objects

rotund cypress Sep 20, 2018, 9:50 PM

#

I mean count can return array no?

ruby breach Sep 20, 2018, 9:50 PM

#

It just returns a number

rotund cypress Sep 20, 2018, 9:50 PM

#

Ok maybe you need to use apply with it then

drowsy axle Sep 20, 2018, 9:51 PM

#

updated

ruby breach Sep 20, 2018, 9:51 PM

#

allPlayers apply {isPlayer _x} would just be an array of booleans

rotund cypress Sep 20, 2018, 9:51 PM

#

No I meant using count and apply

#

No I'm thinking of append actually

#

Just ignore me, I just stumbled in here. A couple of months since I did SQF. 😄

meager heart Sep 20, 2018, 9:57 PM

#

@drowsy axle dude, b4 you will use any command or function, just check wiki in case you forgot something/trying it for the first time, you will save so much time...

drowsy axle Sep 20, 2018, 10:15 PM

#

Okay. I will

unborn ether Sep 20, 2018, 10:19 PM

#

@drowsy axle allUnits is an array, and suspension is not allowed in unscheduled, EVH code is unscheduled.

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 10:21 PM

#

jeez conor mcgregor is a douche

#

hope khabibs wins this

unborn ether Sep 20, 2018, 10:24 PM

#

@drowsy axle And if you want to make a cleanup for dead bodies, you can use built-in cleaner Corpse & wreck management in description.ext or otherwise go thru allDeadMen with server-sided script.

meager heart Sep 20, 2018, 10:34 PM

#

Corpse & wreck management in description.ext
yes it's bretty gud https://gyazo.com/e6c113afb46a674c56de29459bc96b11 😃

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 10:43 PM

#

using exitWith in a forEach works like a continue ?

#

in terms of java tho

#

or other languages that use continue in loops to skip to the next iteration

drowsy axle Sep 20, 2018, 10:44 PM

#

ExitWith exits the forEach. For the passed value

#

So...

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 10:46 PM

#

so it continues with the next aye?

drowsy axle Sep 20, 2018, 10:46 PM

#

{
   _playerName = name _x;
   if (player vehicle IsEqualTo "Tank") ExitWith{hint format["%1 has a Tank",_playerName]};
   hint format["%1 has a Something",_playerName];
} forEach allUnits;```

austere granite Sep 20, 2018, 10:47 PM

#

whats ===

#

whats "Tank"

drowsy axle Sep 20, 2018, 10:47 PM

#

It's a fucking example @austere granite chill

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 10:47 PM

#

xD

#

_playerName = name _x; omg u made it global

#

wtf

#

l2code

#

missing private

austere granite Sep 20, 2018, 10:48 PM

#

there is no continue

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 10:48 PM

#

ffs

austere granite Sep 20, 2018, 10:48 PM

#

you'd want an extra scope

drowsy axle Sep 20, 2018, 10:48 PM

#

having _playerName is local

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 10:48 PM

#

_>

drowsy axle Sep 20, 2018, 10:49 PM

#

having private _playerName makes it unable to change outside of the scope.

austere granite Sep 20, 2018, 10:49 PM

#

I don't know java, but I know some python which I guess is mostly the same anyway

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 10:49 PM

#

lies

austere granite Sep 20, 2018, 10:49 PM

#

And there isn't a continue

#

srry bb

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 10:49 PM

#

@austere granite got it - gonna use exitWith as mentioned by @drowsy axle

#

thx

austere granite Sep 20, 2018, 10:49 PM

#

That's not the continue though

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 10:49 PM

#

yea but it does what I want actually

austere granite Sep 20, 2018, 10:49 PM

#

That will BREAK it, not continue with the next element

drowsy axle Sep 20, 2018, 10:49 PM

#

@frigid raven the forEach isn't stopped.

austere granite Sep 20, 2018, 10:49 PM

#

so you... dont? want continue

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 10:49 PM

#

oh

austere granite Sep 20, 2018, 10:49 PM

#

yes it is

drowsy axle Sep 20, 2018, 10:49 PM

#

It continues.

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 10:49 PM

#

what?

austere granite Sep 20, 2018, 10:50 PM

#

no it doesnt

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 10:50 PM

#

ok I gonna sit this out first

#

😄

meager heart Sep 20, 2018, 10:50 PM

#

🍿

drowsy axle Sep 20, 2018, 10:50 PM

#

It diverts the if ()

austere granite Sep 20, 2018, 10:50 PM

#

you don't need to sit it out. exitWith exits the current scope. a forEach is one scope, using exitWith will cancel the entire forEach loop

#

it is NOT a continue like capwell is claiming

drowsy axle Sep 20, 2018, 10:51 PM

#

@austere granite proof?

meager heart Sep 20, 2018, 10:51 PM

#

LOL

austere granite Sep 20, 2018, 10:51 PM

Okay i can start up my game and proof it to you, if you promise to buy me some internet beer

#

I can't be arsed to boot up arma lel

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 10:51 PM

#

but every element in forEach casts a scope?

austere granite Sep 20, 2018, 10:51 PM

#

It doesnt

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 10:51 PM

drowsy axle Sep 20, 2018, 10:52 PM

I thought it was in it's own scope as well

meager heart Sep 20, 2018, 10:52 PM

#

1

austere granite Sep 20, 2018, 10:52 PM

#

{ if (_forEachIndex == 0) exitWith { } } forEach [1, 2, 3]

high marsh Sep 20, 2018, 10:52 PM

#

exitWith will exit current scope unless it returns true, which it'll create a new scope

austere granite Sep 20, 2018, 10:52 PM

#

will run it once, not 3 times

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 10:52 PM

#

so... when I return true it will work like a continue?

drowsy axle Sep 20, 2018, 10:53 PM

#

What are you trying to do @frigid raven

#

because the ExitWith will work.. without a forEach

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 10:53 PM

#

having a forEach over allPlayers - want to skip the loop if a player is not logged in (checking a variable)

drowsy axle Sep 20, 2018, 10:53 PM

#

logged in as admin?

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 10:54 PM

#

Problem is that I dont want the code to be executed if the player hasnt logged in

#

no I tried some login feature with CBA Hashes

#

just scripting tryouts

drowsy axle Sep 20, 2018, 10:54 PM

#

ah right

#

I haven't looked at CBA

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 10:54 PM

#

doesnt matter for this issue

meager heart Sep 20, 2018, 10:54 PM

#

@frigid raven https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/admin

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 10:55 PM

#

Having 3 players where 2 are logged in I want the forEach code just execute for the 2 logged in ones

#

ok forget about the logged in

#

2 players are cool

#

one is not

#

only run code for the cool ones

#

while forEaching over allPlayers

#

YEA I could filter the cool ones and make a forEach over this set

#

but I just wanna see if tehre is a continue thingie for loops

austere granite Sep 20, 2018, 10:56 PM

#

{
    call {
        if !(_x getVariable ["cool", false]) exitWith { };
        // -- Do stuff for cool people
    }
} forEach allUnits;

#

a more continue like thing would be breakTo

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 10:57 PM

#

well ppl said exitWith will not do that

austere granite Sep 20, 2018, 10:57 PM

#

{
    scopeName "continue";
    call {
        if !(_x getVariable ["cool", false]) then { breakTo "continue" };
        // -- Do stuff for cool people
    }

} forEach allUnits;

#

exitWith will break the current scope

#

you see how there's a call?

#

Meaning it's an extra scope

frigid raven Sep 20, 2018, 10:58 PM

#

ah

#

well could not catch taht - am a greenhorn

drowsy axle Sep 20, 2018, 10:58 PM

drowsy axle Sep 20, 2018, 11:01 PM

#

taken from: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/breakTo ```sqf

Because you're breaking to the scope, meaning it'll just continue

with some modifications I guess because it's not really for outputting files is it?

You could output files already using the correct cmd parameters Plus the > operator (bash or power shell)

But there is no dedicates save to file method

nah that's fine

queen cargo Sep 21, 2018, 12:34 AM

queen cargo Sep 21, 2018, 12:44 AM

Stuff like worldname would require just a single command right now as it literally is some Spot where the proper Config Path is resolved

No need for actual engine is the fun Part
Visual frontend is enough

#

Simulation not needed at All

With a visual frontend being optional (just like currently Config validation is) it also would still be able to use on non gui machines

And that is with the assumption that the ui is drawn at All

Why it doesn’t work with EH?

still forum Sep 21, 2018, 7:23 AM

#

He wants to lock the vehicle. Which works fine with InvOpened EH.
But if you open a ground holder next to the vehicle. InvOpened fires for the groundHolder.. But that one isn't locked so it's fine.
But now when the inventory screen is open you can switch to vehicle on the left side panel. And the EH doesn't fire again

#

so you just opened a inventory that you are allowed to open. And switched over to the inventory that you are not supposed to be able to access.

tough abyss Sep 21, 2018, 7:24 AM

EH returns 2 WHs

#

Just check both

still forum Sep 21, 2018, 7:26 AM

#

My only idea is modifying the Inventory display code. To run code when you click the button to switch to vehicle

#

I would guess he already tried that if he said that he tried the EH out and it didn't work for him

#

I expect people to read the wiki before asking 😄

#

But we all know every well that, that doesn't work usually

tough abyss Sep 21, 2018, 7:27 AM

#

No he didn’t I’m sure, it should work, the second wh was added not long ago

hollow thistle Sep 21, 2018, 7:30 AM

#

It's still a bit shitty if you will be denied from opening inventory of container if locked vehicle is near.

fringe yoke Sep 21, 2018, 7:31 AM

#

You'd add an EH to the Crate button or whatever the text is, so it would close when they switched

tough abyss Sep 21, 2018, 7:32 AM

#

Second wh is usually objNull. If you are close to another container it will be that container. When EH is firing you can override opening, so you check if any container belongs to locked vehicle, if yes —> override

#

@hollow thistle you have to be literally next to vehicle in reach of vehicle inventory

#

There is also nearestSupplies command I think?

Vehicle inventory should be in it when you are close

inner swallow Sep 21, 2018, 8:02 AM

#

Ah

#

Well... Like I said once before, implement it with the appropriate distinction in locality

#

For example, if (isServer) then { //stuff}; will work properly both places

#

Commands on the wiki usually tell you whether a command takes global or local arguments, and if it had global or local effects

#

That should indicate where to run what

#

But yeah, apart from that you have to reupload the mission, which is annoying indeed.

tough abyss Sep 21, 2018, 8:19 AM

You can have mission unpboed locally and tweak it, just need server restart unless you have patching enabled. It is doable though a little less convenient than Eden, but if you keep in mind the differences you can do it all in Eden and just test on dedi

@sturdy cape second weaponholder object returned by InventoryOpened if not null is the second container you see in inventory menu and can exchange with as well. If it is null you only have one weapon holder your inventory is connected to. If you go overriding event handler route you don’t need nearSupplies

AI UGL Ammo Swap

I can manually swap the ammo in an AI Grenadier's Weapon by opening an AI Grenadier's backpack and swapping the ammo in the UGL itself. He then fires the correct ammo.

Could someone offer a pseudo-code to writing this as a script -- eventually an addAction?!

Magazines Object returns an array of available magazines. There are just so many functions for someone who doesn't have years of experience with Arma scripting. ;0)

@still forum moved it here and clarified the query ;0)

tough abyss Sep 21, 2018, 1:18 PM

#

So for some reason ctrlAddEventHandler isn't working, I looked at it, and it's returning -1, which should mean that it failed. Could someone help me with this?
Code is:

_return = _selectButton ctrlAddEventHandler ["onButtonClick", 
{
diag_log "It works!";
}];

diag_log format["%1", _return];

still forum Sep 21, 2018, 1:18 PM

I don't see any clarification on the query. My questions still stand

#

What do you want to do? replace the magazine in the UGL or in his inventory

young spade Sep 21, 2018, 1:20 PM

@still forum

I would like to replace the ammo in the weapon from the ammo in the AI inventory (i.e. if he has it, he can now fire it).

tough abyss Sep 21, 2018, 1:21 PM

There is no EH onButtonClick for scripted EH

#

There is ButtonClick

#

Check the wiki FFS

The wiki

Literally says to use onButtonClick

#

You lie

Add an event handler (User Interface Event Handlers) to the given control

ctrlAddEventHandler doesn’t say onButtonClick either

#

But it has a link to EH page with all EHs and it says it right there

#

I don’t know the reason BI decided to make these names differ, probably to keep Arma consistently inconsistent, but it sure is confusing to people that do not like wiki

your reading kung fu is weak 👺

shadow sapphire Sep 21, 2018, 2:49 PM

#

I'm not understanding this phenomenon. Cannons one through four are NATO Scorchers with NATO crews. Cannons five through eight are CSAT Sochors with CSAT crews. First of all, I discovered that while both cannons one and five would agree to fire at an empty target:

Cannon1 doartilleryfire [getpos Dummy, "32Rnd_155mm_Mo_shells", 2];

Cannon5 doartilleryfire [getpos Dummy, "32Rnd_155mm_Mo_shells_O", 2];```

They would refuse to fire at each other:

```SQF
Cannon1 doartilleryfire [getpos Cannon5 , "32Rnd_155mm_Mo_shells", 2];

Cannon5 doartilleryfire [getpos Cannon1 , "32Rnd_155mm_Mo_shells_O", 2];```

I could not decipher the reason, but I did find a solution in alternative syntax. This would work:

```SQF
Cannon1 doartilleryfire [Cannon5 getpos [1, 0 + random 360], "32Rnd_155mm_Mo_shells", 32];

Cannon5 doartilleryfire [Cannon1 getpos [1, 0 + random 360], "32Rnd_155mm_Mo_shells", 32];```

While this would not work:

```SQF
Cannon1 doartilleryfire [Cannon5 getpos [0, 0 + random 360], "32Rnd_155mm_Mo_shells", 32];

Cannon5 doartilleryfire [Cannon1 getpos [0, 0 + random 360], "32Rnd_155mm_Mo_shells", 32];```

#

What's more bizarre is that in all cases where they refused to carry out their fire mission, the NATO cannon one would always fire off one round, while the CSAT cannon five would refuse to fire completely.

Regardless, after finding this solution, I began attempting to have eight cannons fire upon each other with this block:

Cannon1 doartilleryfire [Cannon5 getpos [1, 0 + random 360], "32Rnd_155mm_Mo_shells", 32];

Cannon2 doartilleryfire [Cannon6 getpos [1, 0 + random 360], "32Rnd_155mm_Mo_shells", 32];

Cannon3 doartilleryfire [Cannon7 getpos [1, 0 + random 360], "32Rnd_155mm_Mo_shells", 32];

Cannon4 doartilleryfire [Cannon8 getpos [1, 0 + random 360], "32Rnd_155mm_Mo_shells", 32];

Cannon5 doartilleryfire [Cannon1 getpos [1, 0 + random 360], "32Rnd_155mm_Mo_shells_O", 32];

Cannon6 doartilleryfire [Cannon2 getpos [1, 0 + random 360], "32Rnd_155mm_Mo_shells_O", 32];

Cannon7 doartilleryfire [Cannon3 getpos [1, 0 + random 360], "32Rnd_155mm_Mo_shells_O", 32];

Cannon8 doartilleryfire [Cannon4 getpos [1, 0 + random 360], "32Rnd_155mm_Mo_shells_O", 32];```

Cannons one through five fired correctly, but three CSAT cannons animate a little bit, but then refuse to fire. Could anyone explain this or a solution to it?

I was originally conducting this experiment to see if artillery could be suppressed during a fire mission. The answer is no, they can not be suppressed during a fire mission conducted as described above.

maybe inRangeOfArtillery will helps, also 0 + random 360 > random 360

No, that makes sense, but 0 + random 360 > random 360 means zero plus random three sixty is greater than random three sixty, so I couldn't figure out what you meant.

What is the best way to get the position on the floor of a building? I am using 'BIS_fnc_buildingPositions' and create a groundweaponholder on that position. But it is below the floor level on the actual ground. Is there a way to circumvent that?

#

Thought about ASL/AGL conversion but that didnt solve it either. Just adding a certain height makes weapons floating or still under the floor for different buildings...

meager heart Sep 22, 2018, 7:22 PM

just setPosATL for your weapon holder, maybe

@rocky mortar Drag&Drop EVH are weird sometimes. There was a situation where I couldn't fire LBDrag even if listbox is canDrag = 1;.

rocky mortar Sep 22, 2018, 7:54 PM

#

: //

#

it seems to be relative to control groups that act like layers

#

when a control is inside a control group, lbdrop can be fire only at control group level

#

i dont know how to retrive that this specific control should be the destination only from the cursor pos

No you just don't add cargo global, vehicle should have inventory storage.

Wrecks are props, no configured inventory

unborn ether Sep 22, 2018, 10:18 PM

Props are still a part of CfgVehicles and if you make maximumLoad? > 0 then it should have a gear, #arma3_config knows it better tho.

#

yeah, something like that

golden storm Sep 23, 2018, 1:36 AM

#

Hmmm so trying to solve the aforementioned intro problem [he] came up with this:

Init.sqf:

if (isServer) then {
    [] spawn {
        sleep 60;
        DontShowIntro = true;
        publicVariable "DontShowIntro";
    };
}
if (hasInterface && isNil "DontShowIntro") then {
    intro_video = [] execVM "intro.sqf";
    waitUntil {scriptDone intro_video};
};

Intro.sqf:

cutText ["","BLACK FADED",2];
0 fadeSound 0;
0 fadeMusic 0;
enableEnvironment false;
enableRadio false;
intro_done = false;
sleep 2;

private _video = ["video\intromedio.ogv"] spawn BIS_fnc_playVideo;
sleep 5;
waitUntil {scriptDone _video};

cutText ["","BLACK FADED",4];
enableEnvironment true;
enableRadio true;
12 fadeSound 1;
12 fadeMusic 1;

sleep 4;

cutText ["","BLACK IN",2];
sleep 4;

intro_done = true;

#

Yet it will still not play the intro video, anyone has any idea?

#

I'm guessing it has to do with this part:

cutText ["","BLACK FADED",4];
enableEnvironment true;
enableRadio true;
12 fadeSound 1;
12 fadeMusic 1;

sleep 4;

cutText ["","BLACK IN",2];
sleep 4;

intro_done = true;

#

but im not sure

golden storm Sep 23, 2018, 1:58 AM

#

No? 😢

unborn ether Sep 23, 2018, 2:13 AM

#

if (isServer) then {
    [] spawn {
        sleep 60;
        DontShowIntro = true;
        publicVariable "DontShowIntro";
    };
}

Is missing ; at the end of isServer part - syntax error. Secondary, be sure that sleep 60 means that one minute after post-init is passed - you disable showing your intro since

if (hasInterface && isNil "DontShowIntro") then {...}

Is telling that. I'm not sure anybody will be fast enough to join to actually see some intro.

meager heart Sep 23, 2018, 3:30 AM

//--- initServer.sqf

I have an issue when using the Respawn event. I have a marker on the map called prison. I want my player to get ported there on respawn.
_player setPos (getPos prison);

Using this snippet. Debugging it shows me:

14:17:26 (0:00:05) DPL.PRISON - DEBUG! old_pos: [10,10,0]
14:17:26 (0:00:05) DPL.PRISON - DEBUG! new_pos: [12049.5,12604.3,0]

Tells me that I am using this command a bit too soon. What would be your clean approach to handle this situation?

Because the player is not send to the new_pos I forget to say

frigid raven Sep 23, 2018, 12:25 PM

#

No. I respawn and the logic runs successfully and also the debug msg appear to be right - so getPos on player actually yields the position of the prison but the spawned player is still on his old position

Running the same script in the debug console after spawn it finally works

The param _unit... is it the new spawned player reference or the dead one?

because the scnd param _corpse is refererring to the corpse tho. Therefore I thought _unit is the new spawned one hmpf

ah k I think I got it

I have overwritten the _unit param by the Respawn event with player as I called my EH script

therefore it still referred to the "old" player before the respawn

What abilities does cfgFunctions have over a "variable" function?

still forum Sep 23, 2018, 2:38 PM

#

none

#

cfgFunctions are also "variable" function

#

there are no non-variable functions

drowsy axle Sep 23, 2018, 2:39 PM

#

I know that

#

"" what to define what I was talking about

still forum Sep 23, 2018, 2:39 PM

#

cfgFunctions is just a list of files that the game should compile

#

instead of doing it manually

drowsy axle Sep 23, 2018, 2:39 PM

#

Right.

#

mission.sqm > description.ext > init.sqf > ... Is that correct?

still forum Sep 23, 2018, 2:40 PM

#

what?

drowsy axle Sep 23, 2018, 2:40 PM

#

In terms of load order

still forum Sep 23, 2018, 2:40 PM

#

no

#

preInit > mission.sqm > init.sqf > postInit

#

no idea what you mean with loadorder of description.ext?

#

do you mean scripts or objects or what?

drowsy axle Sep 23, 2018, 2:41 PM

#

Well i'm assuming that the description.ext is ran before init.sqf

still forum Sep 23, 2018, 2:41 PM

#

It's a config

#

it can't "run"

drowsy axle Sep 23, 2018, 2:41 PM

#

Right.

#

Read first?

still forum Sep 23, 2018, 2:41 PM

#

same as mission.sqm. it's also just a config

#

yeah.

drowsy axle Sep 23, 2018, 2:42 PM

#

Okay.

still forum Sep 23, 2018, 2:42 PM

#

mission.sqm is read first. Then description.ext

drowsy axle Sep 23, 2018, 2:42 PM

#

I might switch over to cfgFunctions.

still forum Sep 23, 2018, 2:42 PM

#

that's a good idea

drowsy axle Sep 23, 2018, 2:42 PM

#

easier to keep everything organized

drowsy axle Sep 23, 2018, 2:42 PM

#

Yeah it is. But it "was" unnecessary when my scripts wouldn't work.

meager granite Sep 23, 2018, 3:02 PM

#

What would be the best way to preload script-selected images as soon as possible? As far as I remember trying to display non-loaded images on UI makes title display disappear until they load.

#

Preload on different display, wait a little then create main display which should display these?

#

Speaking about title displays here.

#

Looking for ideas or experiences with this.

tough abyss Sep 23, 2018, 3:14 PM

#

preloadTitleRsc?

meager granite Sep 23, 2018, 3:16 PM

#

I assume it preloads config-defined assets only, I need to preload script-selected images, I can't have all possible images mentioned in the config from start.

still forum Sep 23, 2018, 3:41 PM

#

in the past people just displayed it offscreen to preload it

meager granite Sep 23, 2018, 3:43 PM

#

Yeah that's what I'm going to do, I wonder if preloading images like this on different title display will not cause my target title display to disappear until images are loaded.

#

I just saw a vid on youtube where sb. had a smartphone item and was taking pictures with it. Can these picture held as items? Like giving to another player and he can look at it? Or like storing them in the actions of a computer prop to view them there? Just having ideas...

late gull Sep 23, 2018, 4:54 PM

#

hmm maybe something with Leaflets

runic surge Sep 23, 2018, 4:58 PM

#

I am trying to convert local rotation to global rotation and it is proving far more difficult than I thought it would be

#

if I manually rotate an object along it's own x axis by 90 degrees, how would I be able to calculate the same global value that it would create?

#

for example, say I am trying to rotate 100 different objects with their own random x, y, and z rotations by 90 degrees on each of their own individual axis

frigid raven Sep 23, 2018, 5:15 PM

#

@late gull yea that'll do

#

I had an idea where there is a "ghost" camerman that cannot be seen that takes pictures if your unit's run through a trigger

#

And I wanted those pictures to be seen by the players

#

hypothetically that would be possible?

late gull Sep 23, 2018, 5:25 PM

#

🤔

tough abyss Sep 23, 2018, 5:32 PM

With custom extension probably

frigid raven Sep 23, 2018, 5:43 PM

meh alright

meager heart Sep 23, 2018, 6:18 PM

#

clientOwner could be different from _owner, some weird behaviour on hosted, see note on biki

On hosted server there could be some inconsistency between clientOwner, owner and object creator id, especially in missions started from save. On the dedicated server this command however works reliably.
```can't see here something about `clientOwner` `owner` vs  player connected eh _owner param ^ @tough abyss

#

also i thought we was talking about dedicated only...

meager heart Sep 23, 2018, 6:36 PM

#

addMissionEventHandler ["PlayerConnected", {
    diag_log _this;
    diag_log clientOwner;
}];

21:34:47 [2,"76561198045255537","sldt1ck",false,2]
21:34:47 2

#

local host ^

#

on hosted clientOwner returns the server's id and _owner is the ID of the connected player if they are the same then something is seriously wrong 🤷

still forum Sep 23, 2018, 6:39 PM

#

hosted

#

Read that as dedicated

tough abyss Sep 23, 2018, 6:41 PM

#

Have you tried to load from save?

#

And do you know what is object creator ID and how it works?

meager heart Sep 23, 2018, 6:48 PM

#

nope about save... 😃

frigid raven Sep 23, 2018, 7:46 PM

frigid raven Sep 23, 2018, 7:48 PM

#

player setVariable ["logged", true];

[player] remoteExec [{_player getVariable "logged"}, 2] // returns false

#

it's is a bit trimmed and not semantically right because params etc. is missing

hollow thistle Sep 23, 2018, 7:49 PM

#

player setVariable ["logged", true, true];

frigid raven Sep 23, 2018, 7:49 PM

#

In fact I just wanna know if a player object when used as argument on a server side call - is it's variable state delivered as well?

#

oh

#

gonna read for that now

hollow thistle Sep 23, 2018, 7:50 PM

#

varspace setVariable [name, value, public]
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setVariable

#

it is local without third param.

frigid raven Sep 23, 2018, 7:50 PM

#

What is actually happening with public true?

#

does it deliver the variables state when used as argument?

#

just curious

hollow thistle Sep 23, 2018, 7:51 PM

#

I guess it does the same as: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/publicVariable

tough abyss Sep 23, 2018, 8:22 PM

#

Public variables are also persistent

#

RemoteExec is not by default

#

I’d ban the use of public variables

#

There is nothing remoteExec cannot do

#

But is more flexible and secure

runic surge Sep 24, 2018, 12:31 AM

Does anyone know if it would be possible to directly rotate an object on it's own local axis?
Like in eden you can toggle between local and global coord space for the translation/rotation widgets

meager heart Sep 24, 2018, 3:12 AM

#

local and global axis do not exist, what you have in eden is when widgets > X points to the east aka "global" or X points to the right of the object aka "local"... 😃

#

and yes it is possible to rotate any "editor placed" object...

#

lest say... with this > https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setVectorDirAndUp

that's what I mean
and yes it is possible to rotate any "editor placed" object...
yeah but I'm trying to rotate and object relative to itself

#

where [0, 0, 0] would be it's default 'local' position, and [90, 0, 0] would rotate it along it's own x axis by 90 degrees

#

I am trying to do what the widget does (e.g. rotating the object 90 degrees on its x axis) but through scripting and for multiple objects

#

also setVectorDirAndUp works relative to world rotation like all the other rotation related commands

meager heart Sep 24, 2018, 3:36 AM

#

maybe just setVectorDirAndUp or vectorDir + setVectorDir

#

also setVectorDirAndUp works relative to world rotation like all the other rotation related commands

#

yes "like all the other rotation related commands"

#

did you tried just getDir and setDir ?

runic surge Sep 24, 2018, 3:42 AM

#

those work for the Z axis which I could use to align the rotation to world space rotation and then maybe reset the orientation after I have changed what I needed to but I haven't tried that just yet

#

wait nvm that wouldn't work

#

not sure what I was thinking there

meager heart Sep 24, 2018, 3:48 AM

#

_object setVectorDir [sin 45, cos 45, 1];
//--- the same as 
_object setDir 45;

runic surge Sep 24, 2018, 3:52 AM

#

right

#

I understand what setDir does

meager heart Sep 24, 2018, 4:09 AM

#

also we have BIS_fnc_vectorDirAndUpRelative that is vectorDirAndUp of object A relative to object B...

I am attempting to set the relative rotation with 1 object and combining the returned value with the values that are supposed to pitch the object forward still just rotates along the global x axis

#

I'm not sure what your getting at but I'm trying to rotate the object on an axis that stays aligned to the object

#

also that is interesting @tough abyss

runic surge Sep 24, 2018, 4:59 AM

#

Before Rot: 13.928, 343.723, 197.378
After  Rot: 288.941, 16.661, 197.012

This is before and after manually rotating the x axis 90 degrees with the widget and local coord space toggled on

#

I am simply trying to find out if this is possible to accomplish with just scripting

loud spruce Sep 24, 2018, 5:08 AM

#

Does anyone know of any methods of detecting people that spoof UIDs? Had a bunch of people coming on my server recently and spoofing their UIDs to other players or admins and breaking everything

#

The obvious solution would be to check GUIDs, but I haven't found any way of doing so with scripts

#

Also have issues with the same cheaters coming and sending vehicles flying with no script logs whatsoever as it's apparently a "memory editing" cheat

#

Any script related solutions that can be used to detect this?

runic surge Sep 24, 2018, 5:43 AM

#

_x setVectorUp [cos (getDir _x + 90), -sin (getDir _x + 90), 1 / (tan 90)];
I think this might work

nvm it is only partially right

queen cargo Sep 24, 2018, 10:37 AM

@coral lynx depending on the usecase, that might actually be correct
though... i doubt that you never would have the need for private variables at all

but when not including magic variables, there are plenty of usecases where you can live without them entirely

just that the mentality he has ... is complete and utter bs
