@compact maple whats the difference between [] spawn {}; and 0 spawn {};
One passes an empty array as _this. The other passes a 0 as _this.
The 0 is technically more performant. But doesn't really matter

Is it possible to have a compiled function with sleep in it and call it (instead of spawning) if the call origins from scheduled environment?
(In Arma 2 OA)
tough abyss
Why wouldnโt this be possible? It is going to be in scheduled if you call it from scheduled
It is just that anything after the call statement will have to wait until the function returns
still forum
@tender fossil yes.. you can sleep in scheduled. I don't really understand your question
tender fossil
My point is that is calling a precompiled function from scheduled environment still scheduled environment

call doesn't change scheduled-ness

Is there any way to discard mouse scroll events like it is possible with keys in "keyDown" EH?
I'm using CamCurator camera type as it has nice in built keys handling, I wanted to block camera movement caused by scrolling listbox elements but the only way that I could achieve this so far was doing "manual off camCommand MyCam; when cursor is over listbox.
This however blocks whole camera movement when cursor is over said listbox and the UX is not so nice.
BI somehow blocks scrolling camera movement in zeus when cursor is over side panels but I fear it might be baked into engine ๐
I would rather not implement whole camera movement handling by myself.

private _tempPlayer = player
ref or copy ?
still forum
ref
everything in SQF is by ref
Or better... Can you specify your question? as to which level you mean?
player returns a object ref encapsuled inside a game value. _tempPlayer copies the game_value but still has the same ref to the object
Example
private _num = 5;
private _num2 = _num;
_num2 = 6;
5 -> GameValue (unique ID 55) that contains ref to GameData(type: number, uniqueID: 1)
_num -> GameValue (unique ID 12) that contains ref to GameData(type: number, uniqueID: 1)
_num2 -> GameValue (unique ID 77) that contains ref to GameData(type: number, uniqueID: 1)
6 -> GameValue (unique ID 15) that contains ref to GameData(type: number, uniqueID: 2)
_num2 -> GameValue (unique ID 77) that contains ref to GameData(type: number, uniqueID: 2)
They all refer to the same entity. The GameValue is always created a-new and initialized with the reference. The reference is reused.
(Unique ID's are made up. They don't really exist. Just serve for illustration)
Same happens for every variable type.

Well my player dies - As he dies I want to save his loadout on the server profile. When my remote func logic is running the player is already the respawn placeholder (2035 char) and there his loadout is persisted. I can workaround that by having a respawn countdown so my old player state is still fetchable
But ye...
need to turn things around tho
still forum
soo.. nullObj problem?
frigid raven
nah there is a obj but it is the respawned character already which was the vanilla loadout
because my remote func is too slow

Ah. Okey.
frigid raven
But nvm that problem I gonna refactor that bullshit
still forum
private _tempPlayer = player is ref yes. Ref to the object that player returned at that point in time.
when player changes to return a different value. _tempPlayer doesn't
frigid raven
Just wanted to be sure I cannot have a copy of the player state somehow
wait
_tempPlayer wont change if player is changing? how is this a ref then?
still forum
it's a ref to the object that player returns
frigid raven
๐ค wtf
still forum
not to the script command player
hollow thistle
player is just a command that returns ref to current player object.
frigid raven
ok i think I get ur point
still forum
If it would dynamically change when player changes. That would mean it would have to call the player command internally. everytime you retrieve the variable
frigid raven
jeez that means my friggin logic cant catch up the respawn at all
still forum
It's exactly the same as this
_number = 5;
_temp = _number;
_number = 6;
_temp doesn't change. It still references the 5
= copies a reference.
_temp is still a reference, to the value that _number stored at that time. But not a reference to _number itself.
Not a reference to a variable. Just a reference to a value.
Variable points to a Value. And internally inside the engine value points to the actual data.

Having a headache with this task system, can't get the tasks to switch state when I activate an action on a unit that calls a scripted function.
I create the tasks on the server without drama:
["beginTask", BLUFOR, ["...", ""], getMarkerPos "respawn_west", "ASSIGNED", 0, true, true, "whiteboard", false] call BIS_fnc_setTask;
[["indepTask", "beginTask"], BLUFOR, ["...", "1. Independently Screwed", "1. Independently Screwed"], position VIPIndep, "CREATED", 1, true, true, "meet", false] call BIS_fnc_setTask;
[["ruskieTask", "beginTask"], BLUFOR, ["Todo", "2. Russian Recollection", "2. Russian Recollection"], position VIPRuskie, "CREATED", 1, true, true, "meet", false] call BIS_fnc_setTask;
[["mericaTask", "beginTask"], BLUFOR, ["Todo", "3. American Freedom", "3. American Freedom"], position VIPMerica, "CREATED", 1, true, true, "meet", false] call BIS_fnc_setTask;```
The action is assigned to a unit in the editor as follows:
```sqf
this addAction ["Join Russia", { [EAST, _this#0, _this#2] remoteExec ["ZE_fnc_setSide", 2] }, nil, 1.5, true, true, "", "player distance VIPRuskie < 5", 5, false, ""];
... And the script itself performs:
publicVariable "zSideJIP";
switch(zSideJIP) do {
case independent: {
["indepTask", "SUCCEEDED", true] call BIS_fnc_taskSetState;
["ruskieTask", "CANCELED", false] call BIS_fnc_taskSetState;
["mericaTask", "CANCELED", false] call BIS_fnc_taskSetState;
};
case east: {
["indepTask", "CANCELED", false] call BIS_fnc_taskSetState;
["ruskieTask", "SUCCEEDED", true] call BIS_fnc_taskSetState;
["mericaTask", "CANCELED", false] call BIS_fnc_taskSetState;
};
case west: {
["indepTask", "CANCELED", false] call BIS_fnc_taskSetState;
["ruskieTask", "CANCELED", false] call BIS_fnc_taskSetState;
["mericaTask", "SUCCEEDED", true] call BIS_fnc_taskSetState;
};
};
["beginTask", "SUCCEEDED", true] call BIS_fnc_taskSetState;
Which does everything else that script is supposed to do, except change the states of the tasks.

Is there a faster method of updating a camera's orientation based on animated memory points of the gunner's turret view for purposes of streaming a real-time texture to the cockpit MFD screen than the following?
{
if (isNil "ST_cam") exitWith
{
removeMissionEventHandler ["Draw3D", _thisEventHandler];
};
_dir =
(ST_v selectionPosition "TGPPos")
vectorFromTo
(ST_v selectionPosition "TGPDir");
ST_cam setVectorDirAndUp [
_dir,
_dir vectorCrossProduct [-(_dir select 1), _dir select 0, 0]
];
}];```This method works just fine, but there's a very slight delay which results in the cockpit screen's video not being as steady as the actual turret view.

using a forEach here would be negative optimization. as you are running more code.

the last 3 can be optimized tho as they are all the same

Why wouldnโt it? You check if skin was changed right after you changed it, obviously it will be true and it will change back

Logically that's what your code is doing isn't it? It evaluates the first if as true because you've defaulted toggleskin to 0, but once that's completed it sets it to 1. Then the next step is to check for toggleskin =1, which it is as a result of the previous step.
I think an else would resolve that rather than an additional if but I'm a nub so I'm probably wrong.
manic bane
thank for explaining! ๐คฆ
fnc_vehiclecheck = {
_currentskin = getObjectTextures vehicle player;
if (player isEqualTo driver vehicle player) then {
if (toggleskin isEqualTo 0) exitwith {_this call fnc_skinchange;};
if (toggleskin isEqualTo 1) exitwith {_this call fnc_skinchangeback;};
};
if !(player isEqualTo driver vehicle player) then {
hint "Only supports \nAFV-4 Gorgon \nAll variants of Strider \nTo change skin, you must be on driver seat.";
sleep 3;
hint "";

};```
I used exitwith and it actually works!Nice!

Probably your best bet would be replacing the player by something like a dead AI unit and using switchCamera or whatever the commands are called

Nah what i mean is that when a player dies, the player will die but the heli will act as if the player is only unconsious allowing a copilot, passengers to either take control or bail out without being in a 90 degree incline

torn juniper
in a MP environment which would be less taxing, a trigger in an area to detect a player or a loop with a delay of like 10~15 seconds each time to detect a player entering. I don't need anything instant but in a more reasonable time
I was just unsure if a trigger was basically like a continuous instant loop checking for the conditions, if so then I would rather do a scripted loop
ruby breach
Triggers check every 0.5 seconds. If you want less often than that, use a scripted loop with inAreaArray
high marsh
Well, triggers are engine based. I don't think it's any more performant in the longrun
torn juniper
so I don't want it to check that often, I could make something that just checks an area once every 15-20 seconds at the fastest and be good enough for me

To anyone interested about my last question, I was able to partially resolve my problem with "camcurator" camera type by disabling camera movement at the moment that user is scrolling.
https://github.com/KillahPotatoes/KP-Liberation/commit/22007221a0c05f202f1ddc0982bacd99c4898a07
Only issue is the small jitter that happens when user moves camera with keys and scrolls over listbox at the same time. It is still a lot better than disabling whole camera movement when cursor is just hovering over listbox.

Go with trigger @torn juniper you can make it local and attachvehicle player so it only monitors local player, if you donโt want 0.5 sec you can add timeout and make it check every 5 min if you want. Triggers are versatile

That isn't how the timeout attribute for triggers works. At all Timeout - The trigger's conditions must be satisfied for the specified duration for the trigger to be activated.

So just a quick one... I need to give some text some colour and an image in a scroll wheel action, but, it is part of a setTriggerStatements script >.< So too many quote marks to work i'm sure...
_trigger setTriggerStatements

"this",
"thisTrigger setVariable ['_actionVar', (objectParent player) addAction ['Name of action', 'file.sqf',objectParent player,1.5,false,true,'','Arguments']];",
"(objectParent player) removeAction (thisTrigger getVariable ['_actionVar', -1]);"
];
Basically structured text in the scroll wheel for the above action ๐
spark dew
Based on the second arma example here: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/String#Description , You can have doublequoted strings inside doublequoted strings by, confusingly enough, doubling the doublequotes. So from my understanding, this should work:
"<blah> setVariable [<blah>, <blah> addAction ["" Words <img image='image.paa'> More words <t color='#ff0000'>Red words</t> "", <other args...> ]];"
If not that, then you can try using format to build the string piece by piece:
"$1 $2 $3",
[
"thisTrigger setVariable ['_actionVar', (objectParent player) addAction [",
'Words <img image='image.paa'> More words <t color='#ff0000'>Red words</t>',
'"file.sqf',objectParent player,1.5,false,true,'','Arguments']];"
]
];```I will have to test this, thank you.

No problem! Let me know how testing goes, I'm still fairly new to this stuff too and only hoping I have the right understanding here.

So does adding datalink to every player, vech and AI on a map decrease performance? or is the jury still out on that? we run one of the most AI heavy servers in A3 and its important to know if this is dragging down performance in long games.
random estuary
@tough abyss createVehicle and deleteVehicle cause a lot of issues, with my KoTH server, despite getting to 80/80 most of the time, it only requires a restart every 24 hours. Other mods which use those cmds for loot etc need rebooting after 4 hours. When using deleteVehicle, a shadow copy of the vehicle is found at 0,0,0
@earnest ore By using -noLogs it actually saves some server cpu cycles from not having to log all that ๐
inner swallow
@glass zinc haven't heard of anything like that so far. But it should be easy enough to test, I would suppose.
random estuary
create some vehicles, then delete them, then run deleteVehicle at 0,0,0 using nearObjects with a counter
I run some code that does this every 5 minutes and on a full server it averages around 150 items deleted from there each time it's ran, which would tie in with the amount of LootWeaponHolder and groundWeaponHolder's that are deleted in that period
Even with a cleanup like that, servers that use cv/dv for high amounts of spawning such as loot, will need restarting regularly because the JIPqueue still gets flooded with the messages from creation/deletion, but removing the ghosts at 0,0,0 certainly improves performance during a session
Correct, it only seems to effect game modes that use loot systems such as Wasteland etc due to the high usage, but it's still worthwhile running some cleanup code at 0,0,0, as it won't be using heavy lifting to delete a few items
inner swallow
isn't it HQ that spawns at 0,0,0?
no, basically each side gets an HQ object
that's used for the datalink stuff
don't know/remember that much. But iirc it's automatically created when units are spawned (maybe just from editor?)
and if you place some units down, start the mission as zeus and add all units to the curator object list, you'll see some HQ entities at 0,0,0
one per side

I tested it with AFV-4 Gorgon and it worked perfectly. So I just tested it with IFV-6c Panther, IFV-6a Cheetah, CRV-6e Bobcat, etc. But it doesn't work well.

[vehicle player,nil,["showCamonetHull",1],nil] call BIS_fnc_initVehicle;
and
[vehicle player,nil,["showSLATHull",1],nil] call BIS_fnc_initVehicle;
makes AFV-4 with camouflage net and slat armor at same time.
But with IFV-6a Cheetah, executing
[vehicle player,nil,["showCamonetHull",1],nil] call BIS_fnc_initVehicle;
makes IFV-6a with hull camouflage net. But if I excute
[vehicle player,nil,["showCamonetTurret",1],nil] call BIS_fnc_initVehicle;
then hull camoflage net is disabled and only turret camouflage net applied for IFV-6a.
IFV-6c, CRV-6e Bobcat, M2 Slammer (UP) are also have same problem.

If I'm using multiple headless clients, how do I specify a single one on which to run a script?
Like how prefacing a script with if (!hasInterface && !isDedicated) exitWith {}; will ensure it's only executed on headless clients, is there a version that picks a specific one, like: If (!HC1) exitwith {}; where HC1 is a named headless client.
unborn ether
@shadow sapphire You need to have a scripted gateway for that (basically a function). Grab all headless clients you have with entities and sort them there. If they are at the same script basis you can just simply sort them by order of how they are appearing in array. If not, well you might want to serialize them inside their own inits.
Then you can direct your remoteExec* to a specific HC, which is busy with that you defined them to be busy with.
How to do that if you ask, just return the HC object from a function:
_data remoteExec ['DT_fnc_saveMeToDB',0 call DT_fnc_HC]; // HC by order 0 is writing to my DB (DT_fnc_HC returns object)
Etc.

significantly shortened the execution time of the roadblock stuff. I simply do multiple searches for startroads, and pick the least amount of startroads found. simply cuts down a lot on the path search which is by far the most intense task.
(also has the neat side effect on cutting down on redundant roadblocks at intersections)
well to do pathfinding between two roads, you need to start somewhere
so i just search roads in a circle around the center of the area i want to fill with roadblocks

the fn_compile is called multiple times here:
https://github.com/AmauryD/A3GPS/blob/master/A3GPS/init.sqf
still forum
I guess you mean the header variable. Not the header of the file?
Well it add's format["private _thisFile = '%1';",_fileName] to the start of the script
so that inside the script you can use the _thisFile variable to check what script you are currently inside of
waxen tide
well i in general wonder what the fn_compile does and why he bothered to write it.
still forum
don't really see a use for that.. You usually know which script file you are in when you are writing a script
easiest way to find out why is: https://github.com/AmauryD/A3GPS/search?q=_thisFile&unscoped_q=_thisFile
waxen tide
I'm easily confused. I wondered if i simply didn't understand something clever and fancy.
still forum
You can see the only place that's used is the log function. I'd assume that the log function doesn't have that header
thus if anything calls the log function. The _thisFile variable will still be set to the file that called the log function
so the log func can write to the logfile which script wanted to print the log
waxen tide
but gps_fnc_log = ["gps","fn_log",true] call gps_fnc_compile; ?
waxen tide
you said you assume log doesn't have a header

But that doesn't make them be less functions
waxen tide
i struggled to explain properly. SORRY.
so, why do people do that?
use or not use cfgfunctions ?
to add headers?
still forum
organization
CfgFunctions screws up line numbers beyond repair and might add other headers that you don't want. And is also not "safe" aka doesn't always use compileFinal.
CBA has line numbers fixed, can disable compileFinal completely with a optional pbo, can easily be modified to add any headers you need to debug/test things. And it's system also only compiles functions once at game start. I don't know how cfgFunctions handles that. I think it recompiles at mission start? Or just recompiles some functions? not sure
Another difference. CBA system is documented and the code is easily readable. Which both aren't a thing with cfgFunctions. The code is just terrible
Also as CBA is script based instead of config based. You can do fancy things when compiling functions. For example compile different script files into a function depending on loaded mods or the version of the game
which you just simply cannot do with cfgFunctions
TLDR; People make their own systems because they have special requirements that existing systems can't fulfill

Because functions get compiles at preStart/preInit eventhandlers
and because in Arma2/Arma1 CBA it was in SLX. Which is now XEH.
manic bane
I tested and I think it keeps running..
I thinks use EH and make variable to -1 might solve this.
waxen tide
Let's assume a mission is tailored towards being used with a lot of mods, and vanilla is totally out of the scope of the whole endeavour. Then CBA is always available anyways. Given that simplification, what would be CBA features a mission should definately make strong use off?
still forum
Uhhh.. never really used CBA as mission specific. Depends on what you need. If you don't need something, there is no reason to use it
CBA has lots of misc stuff. For many generic BIS functions there are more optimized and better documented CBA variants
You can use CBA's eventhandler system (XEH and init/initPost handler) to easily add eventhandlers to literally everything. Instead of adding it to each object seperately.
You can automatically let it run a script when a certain vehicle spawns. Instead of for example having a scheduled while/true loop checking vehicles for any new things.
There is no single thing that you should always use. Use CBA features when you need them and would otherwise have to write your own implementation.
CBA's unscheduled code utilities like waitUntil/waitAndExecute are useful if you need something to happen exactly after a time interval or exactly when something happens. Instead of dealing with the uncertainty of unscheduled scripts that might only execute minutes or even hours after something happened. But you are also paying for that. By having your condition checked every frame, instead of every few frames, or once every minute, or every hour, or every day.. however the scheduler feels like at that moment
waxen tide
i mean if i want to set an AI patrol and CBA has a CBA_fnc_taskPatrol, that's obviously something i'll look at. i was wondering more about things that are unobvious to me at the moment, like for example CBAs fnc to register and compile a function.

Event system can be really usefull for bigger missions.
waxen tide
i guess cba event handlers are very performant?
still forum
CBA hashes/Namespaces can be useful if you have lots of variables to store in a organized manner
no
They are as performant as the scripts you write as handlers
Well they don't suffer the recompilation bug that normal engine eventhandlers have. But that's about it
The big thing about CBA XEH (Extended Eventhandlers) is that you can do things that you just simply cannot do with missions otherwise.
For example config.cpp only eventhandlers. Can be added with description.ext or even script if you use CBA's XEH.
Or you can very simply add eventhandlers to every vehicle. Whereas with a script you'd have to call addEventHandler on every vehicle manually
waxen tide
i'll keep that in mind.

the last bit of code in your waituntil must eventually equal true

this should work

this shouldn't
the thing you want to evaluate as your condition for the waituntil must be last, basically
(maybe i shouldn't be explaining things)
in other words, sleep must not be at the top, i can be anywhere, just not last ๐

@delicate totem ah thx yo, I didnt know CBA had their own EH's.
dusky pier
can i use addEventHandler for object on server?
_obj1 addEventHandler ["AnimDone", {
params ["_unit", "_anim"];
...
};
@edgy dune CBA has a weapon switched eventhandler.
@ebon sparrow explain? what are you trying to ask? Also that would be #arma3_config
@dusky pier you can see which commands can or cannot be added on the server or different clients based on the Icon here: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Event_Handlers#AnimDone on the top left.

@winter rose having the marker in quotes makes the marker inactive or not usable - it seems without quotes the marker is actually recognized. Info: The marker is placed in 3DEN and the name defined in the "variable input"
Well forget about that marker - the animation bug exists in both ways
winter rose
@frigid raven I'll take another look, meanwhile disregard my advice. Also, you could maybe disableAI the unit socit doesn't change animation at all
frigid raven
looks like _intelAssistNpc setBehaviour "CARELESS"; fails kinda
Ah ok disableAI sounds good
Is there a best practise to have animations and positions set - while the NPC still can react to enemy fire? And afterwards return to his former position and animation?
I kinda feel Arma will screw this up big time
@winter rose One info again. The NPCs are placed in the 3DEN Editor - therefore they are local to the server right? But I run the animations scripts on the client side... might this be the mistake here?
crap they should really add exception handling for that file not found bullshit when I have a wrong path to a *.hpp file. Crashing whole Arma is a bit dramatic
frigid raven
@winter rose that solved it - I needed to have the animations run on the server side not client

That's how C++ preprocessor works, try telling Stroustrup that he is wrong ๐

I heard weeks ago that someone made a lua interpretor for arma, do you guys have the link ?
got it https://github.com/intercept

I didn't make the lua interpreter. I just integrated a LUA Library with Intercept

Someone in here wanted a way to check how hard the engine of a car is revving.
Added: Sound controller 'acceleration'
Latest dev-branch. That could probably do it

@frigid raven good thing! And yes, server-side anim indeed ๐

oh okay

Do you by chance know if there is a max RPM config entry for helicopters?

crap they should really add exception handling for that file not found bullshit when I have a wrong path to a *.hpp file. Crashing whole Arma is a bit dramatic You cannot just ignore missing include and you will need to restart anyway since there is no dynamic config loading in retail, so curious what do you suggest?

@still forum thx yo , I saw that CBA weapon switch EH when Tommo pointed it, I shall have fun now.
I shall script total war Rome 2 into arm.
frigid raven
gosh this is embarrassing...
I have a Basic Ammo [NATO] ammobox and within init
[this, true] call ace_arsenal_fnc_initBox;
but it wont render the arsenal action for me - only normal inventory - what am I getting wrong here again
@tough abyss I do not suggest anything because I am a noob

Can someone help me understand how I could attach an incoming missile event handler to a players vehicle so I can add like a text pop up saying incoming missile
vehicle player addEventHandler ["IncomingMissile", {hint "SHOT";}]
i just dont know how i would take that and apply it reading from: https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/201325-incomingmissile-eventhandler-problem/
frigid raven
@still forum the fuck I missed I was opening "Arsenal" through the mousewheel and always thought that the ACE stuff too
wtf helluva new options with ACE
signal pulsar
anyone have any ideas?
compact maple
@signal pulsar
(vehicle player) addEventHandler ["IncomingMissile", {
hint format ["SHOT BY %1", _this select 3];
}];

signal pulsar
@compact maple is @ people allowed? okay so what im trying to achieve is like " missile incoming" in big text when someone shoots rockets at u but i dont want to tell who shot you. will the "%1" tell who shot you?
and where / what file would i want to call this on?
compact maple
Yes, why would it be forbidden ?
compact maple
yes the %1 will tell who pulled the trigger
if you want a big text just use : (give me a sec)
this command https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/titleText
so :
(vehicle player) addEventHandler ["IncomingMissile", {
titleText ["SHOT", "PLAIN"];
}];
this isnt my code but was sent to me as a reference by someone who been tryying to point me in the right direction private ["_vehicleObject"]; _vehicleObject = _this select 0; playSound "warning"; [parseText format["<img size='0.52' image='exile_assets\texture\mod\icon.paa'/><t color='#e5e7ea' size='0.6' font ='PressStart2P' shadow = '1'> MISSILE INCOMING</t><br/>"],-1,-0.2,1,1] spawn bis_fnc_dynamictext;
something like that
but even with this i dont know how to call it or what file id want to put it in
idk
compact maple
private _vehicleObject = _this select 0;
playSound "warning";
(vehicle player) addEventHandler ["IncomingMissile", {
[parseText format["<img size='0.52' image='exile_assets\texture\mod\icon.paa'/><t color='#e5e7ea' size='0.6' font ='PressStart2P' shadow = '1'> MISSILE INCOMING</t><br/>"],-1,-0.2,1,1] spawn bis_fnc_dynamictext;
}];
yessir
compact maple
So it should work
