everything else is up to who ever bought that code

he sells mission scripts
if i download a mission ... i already can use his stuff as some random user
which means ... all of this is utter stupidity

Does someone know where id the script code of virtual inventory and declaration of hpp ?
In which pbo
astral tendon
I have a vehicle named tecVic, im trying by script to remove hes variable but the wach section of the debug console still there, here is a exemple
cursorObject addAction ["die variable",{_this = nil}];
though, if I put on the debug console cursorObject = nil then it works.
Any ideas?
still forum
@rocky mortar explain? What virtual inventory?
and hpp files can literally be anywhere
cursorObject = nil then it works. no it doesn't
that's not how assigning variables works
_this = nil same. you are setting the _this variable.
I have a vehicle named tecVic so you want to set the tecVic variable? why don't you just do that then?
tecVic = nil?
ruby breach
cursorObject = nil ๐ค
astral tendon
because my scipt does not have especificly tecVic in it, its for any object that will call my fucntion
still forum
what happens when a vehicle get's passed to that that doesn't have a var name?
missionNamespace setVariable [str _vehicle, nil]
if it ALWAYS has a variable set
Although actually.. That doesn't error when it doesn't have a variable
astral tendon
And the fucntion is supouse to spawn a new vehicle with the variable of the old vehicle but not only I "do" set the variable and the cursorObject says that its name is testVic but alive returns false and the testVic returns <NULL-object>
here is a exmple
still forum
how do you set the variable when you spawn a new vic
astral tendon
tried with setVehicleVarName and by using _oldvehicle = _newVehicle when the _newVehicle is created
still forum
_oldvehicle = _newVehicle as I already told you twice. That's not setting variables as you think it does
that's setting the _oldvehicle variable
NOT the tecVic variable
if you want to set tecVic then you HAVE TO DO THAT
frigid raven
no pass by references eh?
still forum
every variable is passed by reference
astral tendon
So i need to manualy set the tecVic inside the script anyway?
still forum
But don't ask about that. That's probably too high for you and would only confuse you
frigid raven
ouch
still forum
The variable won't set itself if that's what you're asking
SQF script can't read your mind
It only does what you tell it to
and if you don't tell it to set the variable. It won't
astral tendon
So, how should I make so my script using local variables can set the tecVic to my new vehicle with out I have to manualy place it in my scipt?
still forum
that doesn't make sense
"how to do something without doing it"
How's that supposed to work?
astral tendon
well, I have 100 vehicles with diferent variables placed in the editor, I cant manualy put all their names in it.
still forum
Ah so you want to first read the variable name
and then set the variable by that name?
astral tendon
Yes
still forum
you said you tried setVehicleVarName so that means you already know how to get the variable name?
astral tendon
_newVehicle setVehicleVarName (str _oldvehicle);
still forum
missionNamespace setVariable [ <your variable name as a string here>, _newVehicle]
So..
missionNamespace setVariable [(str _oldvehicle), _newVehicle]
that probably
astral tendon
missionNamespace setVariable [(str testVic), cursorObject]
With the debug console it did not worked, testVic still dead and null
still forum
what does str testVic return when the vehicle is already dead?
astral tendon
"<NULL-object>"
still forum
if it is null... then str testVic will just return <Null-Object> and not it's name
astral tendon
and the original testVic placed in the editor is already destroyed and deleted
still forum
Well you need to get it's variable name if you want to set it's variable
you have to somehow store it before it get's destroyed
astral tendon
Hum... I just tested and the vehicle did not return <NULL-object> when killed
still forum
Well as I said.. You need to get the variable
if you can then fine. If not then you need to do something else
astral tendon
that was because the vehicle was deleted
the second method I tries was to save the variable as a string and then use _newVehicle setVehicleVarName _newVehicleString;
still forum
Well as long as you can get the variable name. The script I sent you will do what you want
astral tendon
Its does set the vehicle as testVic but alive says its dead and using the testVic name in the wach returns objectnull
here is a exemple

@still forum i talked about the virtual inventory of BIS ๐ or simple inventory ui in game

what virtual inventory of BIS?
I don't know what "virtual inventory" is supposed to mean
@astral tendon you already told me that. And you already showed me that example. And I told you what to do
astral tendon
So, how do I get the variable of the old vehicle and then set it on the new vehicle?
coral lynx
@queen cargo Just imagine, that theprogrammer dudes we've been talking about managed to put down that public repo somehow.
atlassian surprised me a bit, gitlab should not fall for that ๐

Didn't we already talk about that?
While you have a valid non-null object that has a variable set to it. just str _objectVariable
rocky mortar
@still forum press "I" key to show inventory : ))
astral tendon
Yes, and I already saved the tesVic in a string called _newVehicleString, what else I need to do?

So you mean the normal non-virtual inventory. some ui_f pbo probably exactly that. ui_f.pbo RscDisplayGear

So stop testing with null objects
You told me only testVic is nullObj as it's already spawned dead
and that the others work
so stop using broken crap and then being suprised why it doesn't work
astral tendon
ok
testVic is alive and is a truck on my right, still, could not change to the vehicle I am aiming at
still forum
but it says testVic == supplyRepairTruck
meager heart
๐
astral tendon
and i Hit the local exec
so, it did not set my cursorObject as the testVic, testVic still the truck
still forum
You've set the supplyRepairTruck variable
so why do you expect that the testVic variable has magically changed?
astral tendon
Or, there is diference with the "=" and the code above?
still forum
I don't even know anything anymore
I gave you what you needed... I don't understand the rest
astral tendon
testing again and all though it set the tesVic alive returns true but cursorObject returns the model name of the vehicle, maybe needs another steep?

you can add a , true at the end to make it global
astral tendon
it was the Alternative Syntax of setVariable
still forum
actually it's not a alternative syntax and the wiki is wrong but... whooo cares
astral tendon
missionNamespace setVariable [_newVehicleString, _newVehicle, true];
[_newVehicle, _newVehicleString] remoteExec ["setVehicleVarName",0];
Looks good?
astral tendon
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setVehicleVarName
Can you add a coment on this page that if some one wants to replicate the editor variable or pass the variable to another object it shoud use this:
_newVehicleString = (str _oldvehicle);
missionNamespace setVariable [_newVehicleString, _newVehicle, true]; //the old vehicle needs to still exist before it be deletd
[_newVehicle, _newVehicleString] remoteExec ["setVehicleVarName",0];
No..
Because that would be a lie
_newVehicleString = _oldvehicle; and that's also wrong
you don't have to delete something to be able to set a variable
tough abyss
Not everything on wiki follows the engine stuff exactly but sometimes it is better when command has alternative syntax instead of millions confusing conditions trying to squeeze into one, like ropeCreate, it would have been a disaster to write as one. @still forum
astral tendon
I was wrong, It means that the vehicle still need to exist, aka not be delted from the game
still forum
Still wrong
setVariable doesn't care.
And for setVehicleVarName it's obvious that null objects don't work
and it has nothing to do with either remoteExec or str
so.. no. I won't put that onto wiki
astral tendon
well nevermind, if some one can document about that issue for people that need to pass editor like variables around to other objects that would be good.
still forum
As long as you know what that code does. You already know that....

Why does this work (soldier animation)
this spawn {

_this switchMove selectRandom ["Acts_CivilListening_1","Acts_CivilListening_2"];

while this doesn't
this disableAI "ANIM";
this switchMove selectRandom ["Acts_CivilListening_1","Acts_CivilListening_2"];
Both pieces are placed in init of the unit. Is it 'cos of timing of the init and unscheduled call?

ive tried that
i am not familliar with animations, the one i copied from the endgame
player switchMove format ["Acts_AidlPercMstpSlowWrflDnon_warmup_%1", 1]
didint block the turret
And player changed its crew animation and appeared above the vehicle
young current
what is the purpose of this anyway?
you would probably need to use a gesture if those work in vehicle
as switchMove and the like that play animatios do replace the current animation (sitting in a vehicle)
calm bloom
regular soldiers cant fly the helicopter and all that stuff
young current
so what you are after is locking the pilot seat to specific people?
calm bloom
yep at the moment they simply cant get in specific position
young current
one hacky solution comes to mind is setting fuel to 0 if person entering pilot seat is not the pilot
calm bloom
yep but there are different vehicles
young current
something something he does know how to turn the fuel pump on or something
calm bloom
tanks, aircrafts with turrets and all that stuff
young current
is there any real benefit for them being able to enter it and do nothing?
calm bloom
not really. Im rewriting the code anyway so may be tanks can transport people in combat and no magic disembarks is a bonus too
young current
if a gesture can block input that might work
or the remote control was not a bad idea either imo

the select _forEachIndex shows me you are definitely doing something wrong

not really
select is a normal binary command
precedence 4

thus left 1 and right _arr are taken and passed to + which says "WTF?"
select on the other hand then gets the result of + because, regardless of what you do, it will always come after +
ohh extra: that thing would even evaluate to 1 + _arr getting solved first if select had the same precedence as +
the moment you understand all that is the moment when _arr select 0 select 1 - 1 select 15 / 3 - 5 select 0 select 10 * 10 + 4 * 0 - 100 would make sense to you
which btw. evaluates to ((((_arr select 0) select (1 - 1)) select ((15 / 3) - 5)) select 0) select (((10 * 10) + (4 * 0)) - 100)
_arr select 0 select 1 - 1 select 15 / 3 - 5 select 0 select 10 * 10 + 4 * 0 - 100

You can safely chain select N command until you pop
No need for brackets
Operator precedence matters like in any other language, and it is not case of good practice or bad practice

winter rose
I have an answer, let's trade
west grove
oi, any scripter around?
i'm trying to check if the player has a certain magazine in his inventory and then i want to know how many bullets it has
i can get a list of his crap via magazinesAmmoFull, but now i'm kinda stuck
rustic pendant
Another question here
proven crystal
_object = _this select 0;
_object addAction ["Open Arsenal", {["Open",true] spawn BIS_fnc_arsenal}];
_object addaction ["bla", {}];
_object addaction ["bla", {}];...
}] remoteExec ["bis_fnc_call", 0, _something];```so i add actions to an object during runtie via script
i thought they needed to be added on the clients, but if i use -2 in the parameter (for all eycept server), nothing happens
rustic pendant
Is there a way to change the 3rd person view to be in front of the character ? I want to have a shot from the front of the cockpit but still be able fly the plane
proven crystal
and then if i put 0 in the parameter i think i would be getting the actions added multiple times, everytime someone connects?
ruby breach
@west grove No clue what exactly you're trying to do (because someone could have more than one of that magazine, etc, etc). findIf / select are likely your best bets
west grove
i just want to know the ammo count of the first magazin of a certain type in players inventory
i can check if the player has the magazine in his inventory via "... in magazines .." etc. but then i don't know the bullet count
ruby breach
(magazinesAmmoFull player) param [(magazinesAmmoFull player) findIf {_x select 0 isEqualTo "CLASSNAME"},["",-1]] select 1;
Returns -1 if nothing is found
west grove
nice. thanks.
west grove
ok, script works. time for sleep \o/
tough abyss
@proven crystal why do you think 0 will add actions multiple times?
This is not how it works
-2 will not add it on server, and on hosted server you are the server so it will not add it to you but to everyone else
0 will just add it to everyone including you
So the difference is whether you gonna have the action or not, the rest is the same
proven crystal
so with -2 it would work as it should if i host it on a server?
not from my computer i mean
i want to make sure that its also available for people who join late. last time i fumbled around with these functions i had the action popping up multiple times
might have messed it up somewhere elso though
so 0 would be my way to go i guess to have it show up for me and everyone else, wherever i host it?
tough abyss
You can use 0 and not worry about where you host it, as it will just be ignored on dedicated but added to all players
proven crystal
good good. and action will also show up for people joining late, because i have something in the jip part of things, right?
tough abyss
Yeah it will show for JIP as long as _something exists, if you delete _something it will remove it from JIP too
proven crystal
excellent. thanks

hey there again.after getting my vehicle locking problem solved (thanks to @cold pebble for his kind help) i thought iยดd ask here for my next task.i am currently working on an anti-backpack-dupe solution and i cant figure how to achieve this other than trying some code that removes backpack _x if theres 2 times the same when taking it out of a container or putting it in.is there already someone who solved this without having infistar?thought on this?
the removebackpack doesnt work btw
if ((isPlayer _x && _x != player) && (alive _x)) then {
_backpack=backpackContainer player;
_backpack_x=backpackContainer _x;
if(_backpack==_backpack_x)then{
hint "No Duping!";
removeBackpack player;``` thats basically the code block which should ( in theory,arma has another opinion ๐ ) do the job
rose hatch
So I've made a script to fold the benches on the hummingbird. I know the animations are fine, but does anyone know if it would upset battleye or typical server anticheat setups if I add a function to lock the bench seats when they're folded up so players can't sit on a folded bench?
tough abyss
What is typical server anticheat setup?
@sturdy cape backpackContainer is not the command you are looking for
this is what you want
why are you trying to use _x when you're not telling your code what _x is?
meager heart
btw we have removeBackpackGlobal
tough abyss
_x Represents the current element during a loop with: apply, count, configClasses, configProperties, findIf, forEach, select.
you're not looping your code at all
you're just using if then statements
rose hatch
No idea what a typical anticheat setup would be. My main concern is if the lock command would be blocked
tough abyss
backpackContainer does what unitBackpack does, there is no difference @tough abyss
oh
huh, how about that
either way
that code is some serious spaghetticode
if you replace all instances of _x with player it might work
but as it stands arma has no idea what _x is supposed to be since you're using it incorrectly
or replace _x with whatever you're trying to run the code on
i'm not sure if _x works like that in condition statement
@rose hatch who knows, it is entirely up to the server owner/ mission maker
i don't believe missionmakers can change server's locked / unlocked setting, i think that's something only #loggedAdmin can do
or is it adminLogged
Not server settings
rose hatch
vehicle lock
rose hatch
No idea, that was the question
I don't have a frame of reference for what commands server owners typically block
meager heart
imo blocking "vehicles locks" commands will just break 90% of missions with the vehicles lol
not sure about lifers
rose hatch
Good point

@tough abyss if you have serverCommand password or display is local to an admin then it can execute server commands like lock

but I like my "squiff" idea
tough abyss
FSMs are so fucking great
god
they make my dick the big dick
once i learned how to use them
compact maple
what it can be used for ?
tough abyss
they are a visual representation of conditions and states
they can handle all mission logic
FSM stands for finite state machine
compact maple
could you give me a proper exemple when I need to use FSM in my whole coded sqf mission
tough abyss
https://i.onozuka.info/i/7kiroczfk3.png this is one of the FSMs for a BI apex mission
let me try to find one of mine that you can see more clearly
compact maple
cant read this xD
tough abyss
basically
FSM can handle everything
you write SQF into it
it's just a flowchart for the mission's logic
compact maple
mh
tough abyss
you can have multiple FSMs in a mission but it's best practice to only have one, which is missionFlow.fsm
compact maple
what type of action there is in it ?
tough abyss
missionFlow.fsm runs on mission init and runs globally unless you tell it to not run on clients which is easily done and is what i do
anything
anything you want to do can be done with FSM
compact maple
like what, hint something, functions ?
tough abyss
yep
compact maple
I dont get the utility, you can do this in SQF too
still forum
It's just used for flow.. Like.. you know a flow chart
yeah you can do everything a FSM can with just SQF too
tough abyss
but it's probably not as efficient and much less organized
for instanec
i made a mission for my group where i had waves of attacking enemies on a FOB
all the while, friendly outposts were randomly mortared
and were destroyed if the enemy mortar wasn't killed in time
compact maple
is FSM procedural too ?
tough abyss
FSM is not a language
it's just a filetype
and during all this the friendlies had to leave the base, break through enemy attacks, and go capture objectives in adjacent towns and bring them back to base
i was able to cleanly do all of this with FSM
there's no limit to what you can do with an FSM
tough abyss
what do you mean what does it look like
you mean what does it look like when you're working on an FSM?
compact maple
yes plus you said thats not a langage, so we write SQF in it
compact maple
its like an actions vizualizer, with the order you want
tough abyss
yes it's a flowchart
tough abyss
๐
FSMs aren't widely used from people that aren't really into missionmaking
they have a bit of a learning curve
but i'm pretty well-versed in them
so if you ever have a question about them, feel free to ask
compact maple
I've been working with sqf for years, never tried FSM, but assume I want to create a login procedure, like when the player connect, I'm running some query on DB, creating an account, etc, I could do this in FSM, better than sqf ?
or this is only and only for in game actions, like working with AI..
still forum
IMO FSM add's usually not-needed complication
I can see it for mission flow. Like walking between tasks. But besides that...
tough abyss
Just to point out you are all talking about scripted fsms
Because there are other kinds

what other kinds?
tough abyss
Some AI kind of kinds
compact maple
I really dont need more complication lmao

that's true
what M242 is saying
about other types of FSMs
predominant use for us is scripted FSM, though
cedar kindle
i think theyโre not widely used because the editor is crap

editor is okay
it's sufficient for me to do what i want to do
for framework
I used to edit fsms by hand when didnโt know there was an editor ๐
cedar kindle
@compact maple if you donโt know when to use it you shouldnโt imo. if you have a flow that is hard to follow in code and should be visualized with potential forks from conditions based on priority, sure
i canโt count the amount of times Iโve emptied a transition due to some odd bug and canโt undo it

@frigid raven I found a way for you to do the color x/255 calculation via a macro:

//some code...
colorBackground[] =

color255(200), //replace 200 w/desired value
color255(200),

Something to detect that a unit was created. via script or editor.

I'm having an issue with a string that is getting cut short at around 8192 characters, while the wiki here:
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/String
states that a string can be up to 9,999,999 characters.
this is causing an issue for me as I'm using extDB3 to save character data, and this is preventing it from happening, as it isn't passing all data to the plugin due to this limitation.
does anyone know why im getting this behavior when i use format to create a string?

i see that now, and just found a solution
all be it a bad one probably, but it functions
instead of format, I'm just doing "data" + "data" + "Data"for the string

Hey guys, I'm wondering if there is some way to track what the player is looking at, and trigger a script when an object is in their view. My idea is a horror scenario where as soon as an entity can be seen by the players it plays a scary sound, like a jump scare. I dont want to check for distance because I only want it to work from their cone of vision. Cheers!

check for when the object is under the cursor, then get s p o o k y

Almost what I'm looking for, but I feel the cursor is too accurate and I want it to trigger even if the object is seen in the player's peripheral vision

this might be your ticket, then
_cansee = [objNull, "VIEW"] checkVisibility [eyePos player, eyePos unit1]; example seems to do exactly what you're looking for
remote basin
Yes! that is perfect, cheers!

glad i could help! you scratch my back, i'll scratch yours.

don't divide by 0

I'm having issues with getting this script to work, mainly that it's returning a divisor error

post script
calm ravine
yes, I'm not, nowhere in this script is there a divisor of 0
callfloor = 1;
endfloor = 50;
elevatordelta = (endfloor - callfloor); //find floor difference between start and end
// elevatordir = elevatordelta / abs(elevatordelta); get direction by dividing delta by the absolute of itself, leaving 1,0,-1
elevatormovetime = 2*(ln(elevatordelta+1)); //calculate wait time in elevator
sleep elevatormovetime; //waiting time
elevatorunits = [player]; //find all objects in elevator and return array
elevatorunitcount = count elevatorunits; //count the size of the array
ind = 0; //establish index start of for loop
for [{ind}, {ind < elevatorunitcount},{ind+1}] do { //repeat loop as long as index is less than units in elevator, adding 1 to index per loop
unitpositionelev = [getPos (elevatorunits select ind)]; //store position of current unit in elevator, based on index of array
hint format ["%1", unitpositionelev];
(elevatorunits select ind) setPos [(unitpositionelev select 0),(unitpositionelev select 1), ((unitpositionelev select 2)+(3*elevatordelta))];
}; ```_array = [0,1,2];
_array select 5; //--- zero divisor
aka out of range
also checkVisibility not working how you think, @tough abyss
i think i had screenshot with that, lemme check...
so.. _cansee != looking at
Checks if one position is visible from another position and how much
