Okay @still forum I have always been kind to you. If you don't have a kind response back then don't answer at all especially when you assume I haven't looked anything up. As a matter of fact I have the wiki open all the time and just because it's open doesn't mean that I can fully understand what I am reading. Do me a favor and don't reply to me unless you can learn how to be nice to people okay?

@carmine abyss I always feel bad when someone like Dedmen answers me since he's an incredibly capable person who, when helping me, is always wasting his time. Time he should spend on way more complicated shit. But that's just me. If he says your stuff doesn't make any sense, then it doesn't. When he says read the wiki, hell son, go read the wiki. And you would probably get a way better answer if you explained EXACTLY what you want to do, because from your code, i sure can't tell.

well I think he wants to spawn items into 3 crates...

I expected you to tell me why you thought it returning "nothing" doesn't matter. Or that you tell me what you are trying to do.

Well you guys can stop saying I don't read the wiki because I spend a lot of time on there. I am trying to put 5 pieces of random loot in 3 crates. All crates having different loot. You also seem to not understand that just because something is posted on the wiki doesn't mean I understand it. I am not an expert. I am just someone trying to learn and sometimes it's easier to get an answer with a different explanation from someone else. You seem to be bothered by easy problems. If that's true then don't answer. Instead go gather some social skills you seek to lack and maybe you can then encourage newbies like myself to learn so we can then teach others. Your snarky replies not only don't help anyone, but they turn people away from wanting to learn a tough thing like modding a game like Arma.

So you read the wiki right?
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Control_Structures#for-Loop
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/for
Why do you think that you can just plug objects into a thing that expects 3 pieces of code?
Granted. You chose the worse type of for loop that exists, which is at the same time also the worst documented one.
But if you just look there. You see a thing. That takes an array with 3 code statements.
You can't just throw apples at a lasagna and expect it to turn into applepie.
The parameters literally tell the for loop
Count from this, until this condition is true, and do this every time you want to go to the next element.
You are trying to tell it
This is a object. Iterate until this object. Do object every time you want to go to next element.
Again. Doesn't make sense.
The answer to your question is. Stop using that type of for loop. Forget that it ever existed. It's the purest pile of shit that you can imagine.
Even if you someday figure out how to use it. It's still worse than all alternatives that you could use.

" I am trying to put 5 pieces of random loot in 3 crates. All crates having different loot. " Is exactly what I said. Not sure how can mis understand that. You guys do realise not everyone is at your level of coding right? There is such a thing as being new to something. Not everyone starts off at your level.
waxen tide
Sigh. YEAH YEAH SNARKY COMMENTS. PFFFF.
First, i think in the first like you meant to do a foreach loop, not for. Because you're looping thru an array of elements. The elements seem to be the names you assigned to your crates? Those names should be strings? So you need to put "" around them. I THINK. Your for loop is supposed to run 5 times i guess? Never used that notation.
for "_i" from 5 to 0 step -1 do {
};
That's what i always use. Seems more clear. Idk.
I can't really tell how many items you want and what the chances shall be because your code to do that is totally messed up. but you need to first to the selectrandom stuff, and then do the additemcargo. you're first adding and then selecting nothing, like dedmen said. and that [] spawn _rndmLoot; .... i've got no clue what you're on about. you would need to define something like:
_rndmLoot = { *code* };
[] spawn _rndmLoot;
I think. It's fucking 3 AM.

Those names should be strings? So you need to put "" around them. I THINK. not if they are variable names

Ah I figured it out, I was passing a single instance instead of an array.
limber rune
I'm looking at that link
I get it now thanks Jeroen
where would you define the string at?
unreal leaf
How does one use params in a way to add optional arguments while still checking if its a valid input? I know you can use param ["_var",0] but it returns true even if you give it for example ObjNull.
when you use isNil you need to give it a variable, this variable needs to be given in the form of a string
"_var"
isNil "_var"//returns false
!isNil "_var"//returns true```If I do this
waitUntil{sleep 0.05;```
3 Times will it go through each one and count the time for each?sleep doesn't "count"
doing that 3 times would be useless as 3 times sleep of 0.05 == sleep 0.15
@unreal leaf you can use params to only accepts object. but nullObj is a object
if you want to check for null you need to do that manually

Well. What does "mission is loaded" mean to you?
limber rune
meaning all the basic stuff that needs to be loaded when you press the slot in the lobby of the server like the mission file but I'm wanting it to just do it in a loading screen not loading in the lobby if that makes since
still forum
You can't
limber rune
I can't? I have seen a server that you press what slot you want then you load but it skips the loading mission until it shows there loading screen and then downloads the mission
still forum
You can do some complicated/clever #arma3_config in a mod to hide the lobby
but not via scripting in a mission script or something
limber rune
how would I do it via a mod?
still forum
You can edit the lobby dialog via config edits.
No idea how you'd hide the "loading mission" or display a loading screen before that happens
limber rune
I are ready did it where it skips the lobby but what point in skiping the lobby will it download the mission?
I was thinking that it will download it while its showing the loading screen
since it skips the lobby
so the server skips the lobby and then theres that spand that it downloads the mission until you are in is there is there a way to just when the player connects it turns the loading screen on until its done downloading it?

limber rune
I know that FacePalm
limber rune
ok
hmmm ill look at the code and see but from what I know thats the loading screen after you press what slot you are in the lobby
peak plover
So
You want the game to do this:
When a player clicks join on a server
It starts to download the mission/load the map
Now an image will appear
limber rune
yes but its not a image it has like a progress bar and idk the logo of the server etc. and the background is what the player your join in as. Like lets say theres a list of 100 Civs slots only and you skip the lobby it will automaticly put you as the first one and go down the list so as the player it puts you as you can see what it sees but you can't move or do anythingdisableUserInput true until the loading screen is done
peak plover
You can't do anything when the mission is downloading anyway
limber rune
can I do it before the mission starts downloading like the loading screen starts then the mission downloads
thorn saffron
if I have an array that is just empty [] how do I make an if condition to check if it's empty? if (!isNil "_magazine") then { does not seem to work

There is no reason to disableUserInput, you can't do anything anyway when it's downloading.

sure..... with lots of work 😄
That in itself no
But if you start the HC with -name parameter
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/profileName you can probably use that
shadow sapphire
Well, the HCs are already named, but it's still not working. It throws an error when I use the above. I'll read about the profile name, but they already are named in 3Den and can be paged using the names given.
If I go with;
If (isServer) exitwith {};
If (hasInterface) exitwith {};```
Then it runs on every headless client, where the effect I need is to run on one headless client.It throws an error when I use the above. Yes. That I told you
https://discordapp.com/channels/105462288051380224/105462984087728128/513738870781771776
It throws an error which?
to preface a script which script? preInit?
shadow sapphire
The script is a function defined in the function hpp.
limber rune
so how do I do it? lol so the image mod you send @peak plover that is it Kinda but how do set it up so it skips the lobby and then how do I make it do the loading screen no one has told me how to do it thats my main question how do I make it do the loading screen
still forum
that doesn't tell me anything
function hpp is not any kind of native game thing
it could literally be whatever
shadow sapphire
It's loaded from the description.ext? I don't understand what you want to know.
still forum
Also doesn't tell me what it is
there a tons of native game things in description.ext and you can script whatever into there too
I want to know what you are using.
And whether it's preInit or postInit or anything special
and how the script is called and from where
shadow sapphire
The script is called with this from a trigger condition:
[ThisTrigger] remoteExec ["ASG_FNC_GIP1", HC1];```
It spawns an AI group.Because there are three headless clients, and it spawns the AI group on every headless client.
still forum
[ThisTrigger] remoteExec ["ASG_FNC_GIP1", HC1]; but that only executes on HC1
shadow sapphire
I don't know what you want me to tell you, but when I run that line, the group spawns once for each headless client.
It uses the BIS_fnc_spawnGroup; if that clarifies anything.
If (isServer) exitwith {};
If (hasInterface) exitwith {};
params ["_trigger"];
_Base = (getpos _trigger);
_HQ = [_Base, INDEPENDENT, ["I_officer_F","I_medic_F","I_officer_F","I_soldier_UAV_F"],
[],["LIEUTENANT","PRIVATE","SERGEANT","PRIVATE"],[],[],[],180] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;```That's the whole test script.
still forum
So the issue is that your remoteExec command executes the code on every HC. Even though you told it to only execute on HC1?
shadow sapphire
Correct.
still forum
does the trigger execute on server? (server only trigger)
shadow sapphire
In fact, if I remove the isserver/hasinterface, then it runs on the server and every client as well.
I don't know how to tell where the trigger is executing. If it executes on the server by default, then yes, it's executing on the server. I don't think it's currently a server only trigger, but it may be. I'll check.
No, it's not set to server only.
still forum
there is a checkbox in the trigger for "server only"
if the trigger executes everywhere
that means every client (including HC's and server) are now telling HC1 to spawn the group
meaning HC1 is spawning the group multiple times
shadow sapphire
Got it. That's magic. Good stuff.
still forum
which is also why your HC1 condition doesn't change anything. Because the script does indeed only execute on HC1. It just does that multiple times
shadow sapphire
In fact, for some reason, that's the only trigger I have placed in my whole test scenario without server only checked. That's wild.
Anyway, thanks a ton.
Well, I hate to have to report that nothing appears to have changed after checking that box. It still runs for every client as well as the server.
Yeah, still spawning on everything every time, regardless of if box is checked.
still forum
add diag logs to the code.
And also log "remoteExecutedOwner"
to see who remoteExecuted the code
it should only log in HC1's log. And remoteExecutedOwner is probably different for each execution
shadow sapphire
Forgive my ignorance, but I don't know how to do that.
still forum
in your script
diag_log ["ASG_FNC_GIP1 executed", _trigger, remoteExecutedOwner] Just as first line
shadow sapphire
I think I'm going to have to tell it to log this somewhere specifically, the headless client logs look like trash. I can't even identify the diag log.

From the headless client log:

8:12:16 ["ASG_FNC_GIP1 executed",6: <no shape>,0]
8:12:16 ["ASG_FNC_GIP1 executed",6: <no shape>,0]```ya google for arma isn't the best
still forum
Could it be that your trigger executes before HC1 is done joining?
shadow sapphire
That's double tough. How good is the search engine for Killzone Kid's blog, haha?
Typically no, I am triggering it manually only after the headless clients have completely loaded and joined the mission. In fact, I don't even start the mission until they are all completed loaded in.
However this one time, I closed them, deleted their log files, then reopened them, and may have beaten them to the punch, but I gave them plenty of time.
Based on the number of AI spawned, I think the headless clients were all fully loaded for even the latest test.

I don't think you can use nested params like that. Is there any reason you're using subarrays instead of just one array with weaponclass, weaponcount, magazineclass, magazinecount, etc etc?
thorn saffron
So I have just one global being around
delicate totem
I mean why use
taroShopInventoryArray = [["_weaponClass","_weaponCount"],["_magazineClass","_magazineCount"],[etc],[etc]];
when you could just use
taroShopInventoryArray = ["_weaponClass","_weaponCount","_magazineClass","_magazineCount", etc, etc];
ah the subarays are for recounting the items and being compatible with the addXCargoGlobal syntax
delicate totem
Ah yep. You could easily pull that data out for those commands as needed via select. In a bit of a rush at the moment sorry mate.
With what you were trying to do the first time I think you'd have to
_weapondata params ["_weaponClass","_weaponCount"];
_magazinedata params ["_magazineClass","_magazineCount"];
etc
Which doesn't seem efficient at all.

Yeah, at least the array works, its just a bit harder to read the various selections.

private _b = _display ctrlCreate ["RscButtonMenu", -1];
_b ctrlSetPosition [(0.325 * safezoneW + safezoneX),(0.35 * safezoneH + safezoneY),(0.14 * safezoneW),(0.22 * safezoneH)];
_b ctrlSetBackgroundColor [1,0,0,1];
_b buttonSetAction format ["(allDisplays select (allDisplays findIf {_x isEqualTo %1})) closeDisplay 1;", _display];
It says error zero dividor. Is there any other way to close the display on button click?
still forum
it says zero divisor because your findIf returns -1 because a display cannot be equal to a heap of garbage
you cannot just "format" things into a string and expect it to work
There are some things that happen to work when you turn them into a string. But they are the exception
solution is to store the display you want on your button as a variable
and then retrieve it again in the code
Don't know where this notion comes from that "format" actually inserts some magic kind of reference to any type of variable into a string
a string is a array of letters. There is no place for any magic variable references. That's not how that works.

It's executed through ares achilles by clicking on the plane
that's what (_this select 1) is

So the plane goes boom, receives the damage, but upon crashing it says type array expected object on the _x action
Systemchat is saying B ALpha 1-3:2 or whatever

also for info, nowhere in your script are the passengers allowDamage false so they may die with the additional explosions (unless it is done in another script)

No error message, but they are not being removed from the vehicle and set unconscious
and yeah I was setting allowDamage manually, but I can easily throw that in the script
Maybe if I try vehicle _x in the action
instead of _Vehicle
winter rose
well, at least it reaches your code =)
just use _vehicle, don't redefine it

So I tried with (Vehicle _x) just incase and it still doenst work
So I have this for my script

but yet they stay in the vehicle and dismount 1 by 1 slowly
and aren't set unconscious

Is it better to make loops using CBA_waitandexecute or via the scheduler?
I've seen that ACE doesn't use spawn but that instead.
simple solstice
A looping function every second, that's it
still forum
although, it then also depends on how many you have.
But you say one. So scheduler.
If you don't care that it also takes 2 or 3 seconds sometimes
simple solstice
And if I need lots of them?
The precision doesn't matter, it's more about performance
still forum
scheduler goes through all scripts to check if their sleep timeout is over. It does that VERY fast as it's all directly in engine code.
CBA sorts the entries once. And then only iterates so long till it finds a function that shouldn't yet run and then stop.
Meaning cba only checks atmost 1 single function per frame of the functions that should not run, whereas the engine checks all of them.
CBA checks are in SQF tho and thus much slower than the engine side scheduler stuff, but it checks less scripts. And CBA also has to sort them, and the sort time depends on the amount of entries.
So the answer is: it depends.
But I'd say go with scheduler if you don't care about precision
simple solstice
alright, thanks!

regarding mentioned mod structure context: #include "\z\ace\addons\main\script_mod.hpp"
Is this an ACE fancy thing or valid for basic arma3 mods as well? I mean is z referring to the root when I use this in my non-ACE mod ?

Why is HandleDamage EH selection reporting so broken?
HitPart works wonderfully, but HandleDamage just spits out same selections (head,body,legs) EVERY time. on vanilla.
Am I missing something there? ACE is using HandleDamage AFAIK, and it works fine
// Deal with the new hitpoint and selection names introduced with Arma v1.50 and later.
// This will convert new selection names into selection names that the medical system understands
// TODO This should be cleaned up when we revisit the medical system at a later stage
// and instead we should deal with the new hitpoints directly
_selection = [_unit, _selection, _hitPointIndex] call FUNC(translateSelections);
_this set [1, _selection]; // ensure that the parameters are set correctly
// If the damage is being weird, we just tell it to fuck off. Ignore: "hands", "legs", "arms"
if (_selection != "" && {!(_selection in GVAR(SELECTIONS))}) exitWith {0};
it does sth like this w/ selections. does that fix anything?
pure blade
what do you mean with "spits out same selections", its normal that handledamage triggers multiple time on one bullet hit
simple solstice
uhm yeah, but it spits head,legs,body when the bullet clearly hits the leg
what I want is to get is a precise name of what selection got hit by the bullet.
HitPart gives me that, but it works on the shooters PC.
simple solstice
I know, but
While you can add "HitPart" handler to a remote unit, the respectful addEventHandler command must be executed on the shooter's PC and will only fire on shooter's PC as well. The event will not fire if the shooter is not local, even if the target itself is local. Additionally, if the unit gets damaged by any means other than shooter's shooting, "HitPart" will not fire. Because of this, this event handler is most suitable for when the shooter needs feedback on his shooting, such as target practicing or hitmarker creation.
but normal you don't have only one part that got dammaged, mostly are twice or more parts are dammaged with one hit
simple solstice
@pure blade I refuse to acknowledge that if I shoot someone in the foot, he gets a hole in the head.
I need precise information about WHICH part got HIT by the bullet, not DAMAGED
peak plover
// remoteExec the hp update to the target
[_unit,(-_totalDamage),true] remoteExec ['health_fnc_hpUpdate',_unit];
private _hp = _unit getVariable ['unit_health_hp',5000];
_hp = _hp - _totalDamage;
if (_hp < 1) then {
_unit setDamage 1;
if (!isNull _killedBy) then {
_unit setVariable ['unit_health_killedBy',_killedBy,true];
};
};
hitPart works fine for me
simple solstice
Yeah... guess I will need to use that and broadcast the "holes"
pure blade
search the part that got the most damage
simple solstice
@pure blade HandleDamage doesn't give precise information
there is no rightleg, leftleg
only legs
peak plover
hitPart has 3 parts for each leg
simple solstice
yup, and thats wonderful and what I need!
peak plover
it also gives you _position

Anyone know why passengers are still dying?
https://pastebin.com/pwy5CkLv
And not becoming unconscious?
austere granite
Because you don't move out the units till the vehicle is destroyed
Also MP syncing time probably doesnt help either, like the unit might technically still be in the vehicle for a little bit, so keep that in mind when you just move the allowDamage line down
radiant needle
I added this
null = [_x] spawn {Sleep 10;_Passenger = _this select 0;_Passenger allowDamage true;};
and it still has issues
austere granite
units will get messed up if you kill the vehicle they are in either way
move out the units first, only then allow destruction of the vehicle
radiant needle
Shouldn't they survive if allowDamage is false?
austere granite
ALso i highly recommend you stay away from getPos/setPos combos, the setter and getter don't work the same way, use something like setPosASL/getPosASL instead
radiant needle
Does getPosASL allow the alt syntax?
austere granite
no, but math works wonders
like if you're on top of an object (lets say a pier, could be realistic sceanrio with your script), then getPos will return 0 height
but setPos will put you at 0 terrain height instead, which will be inside said pier
radiant needle
Also it seems like the passengers are not becoming unconscious

I added several functions to ace by adding a mod ontop of unmodified ace. such as tons of tweaks to the medical menu and making tourniquets show up. Your starting point should be the treatment actions, there the callback function is defined. you simply high jack this config entry of the function for bandaging and run your own code instead of aces.
Is that some public project? Sounds very interesting.

@waxen tide the tourniquet stuff will not be in the next ace update but th eone after that, Check the milestone it is attached to
The are more changes which are tailored to the group i made it for
Blood bags carry more volume and the apply time is shorter
bandages across the board have the same healing values
PAK is heavier
Epi now works kind of like the epi in basic
medical menu is changed that you do not click on any body part, but you are dynamically presented an action to bandage a limb that is bleeding, tourniquets will be applied "smartly" as in applies to the limp that is bleeding the most.
Basically the whole thing is to simplify a few things and tailored to less "medical downtime"
robust hollow
@frigid raven either disable binarize or change the include to #include "..\core\script_mod.hpp". It is giving you that error because its processing the include when packing the pbo instead of when you load it to your game, so it doesnt know the prefix.
still forum
@frigid raven P-drive?
Also stop the spam please
It probably can't find the include because you don't have a p-drive setup.
It looks for the file at P:\x\coopr\addons\core\script_mod.hpp
Also afaik your prefix shouldn't have a leading \. Just like ACE/CBA
frigid raven
@still forum
First of all, sorry for the spamming.
Aye the P-Drive thing again - did not thought about that before.
Well the leading \ I thought it is a convention therefore I applied it
still forum
for #include yes.
for pboprefix no.
The root filesystem starts at \. Thus if you wanna include from there, you gotta put that down.
But your mod path is made up of root+prefix+path inside your pbo.
thus you'd have \\x\coopr\addons\core
double backslash at start. As root already has it

How to migrate the defines.hpp (GUI dependency file) from a mission's Description.ext to a mod structure? Why do I ask?

https://github.com/CoopR-Mod/CoopR-Altis/blob/2248f3805028b4d1eef1c47503b68eea6caec32a/define.hpp#L99 Then see that you are doing exactly what I said not to do
Almost all of your defines.hpp is redefining vanilla classes. Which you shouldn't do
change the definitions to declarations

🤔 k give me a sec
k looks like this now
class RscStructuredText;
class RscPicture ;
class RscEdit;
class RscCombo;
class RscListBox;
class RscButton;
class RscShortcutButton;
class RscShortcutButtonMain;
class RscFrame;
class RscSlider;
class IGUIBack;
class RscCheckBox;
class RscTextCheckBox;
class RscButtonMenu;
class RscButtonMenuOK;
class RscButtonMenuCancel;
class RscControlsGroup;```my gui.hpp now cries for the missing RscText. I need to make that one defined now, aye?
