I believe you need to use https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/diag_mergeConfigFile

#

never used it myself though.

digital jacinth Jan 4, 2019, 7:25 PM

#

that is already working, but i rather meant for scripts, like hitting restart when editing mission files

cosmic lichen Jan 4, 2019, 7:26 PM

#

Oh sorry.

languid tundra Jan 4, 2019, 7:26 PM

#

Maybe a for loop over the first n-1 elements and then add the last. Would at least get rid of the conditional. Needs to be benchmarked though.

cosmic lichen Jan 4, 2019, 7:26 PM

#

@digital jacinth https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_recompile

#

with allowFunctionsRecompile = 1; maybe?

digital jacinth Jan 4, 2019, 7:27 PM

#

hmm

#

that would be an idea

cosmic lichen Jan 4, 2019, 7:27 PM

#

@languid tundra I'll try that,thanks

#

I actually think that would be slower. Since I do not have access to _x inside the loop and need to return the element everytime.

languid tundra Jan 4, 2019, 7:30 PM

#

Yeah, that's why I said that it needs to be benchmarked.

cosmic lichen Jan 4, 2019, 7:31 PM

#

Performance isn't really relevant here. Since it's only executed in the editor.

#

I guess I'll put that in a function so in the future it's a one liner to export things

digital hollow Jan 4, 2019, 7:32 PM

#

You could just add the comma and new line every iteration and delete it at the end.

cosmic lichen Jan 4, 2019, 7:33 PM

#

Thought about that too. Guess select should work?

languid tundra Jan 4, 2019, 7:33 PM

#

Yes, it does.

#

Alternative to the for loop would be to feed froEach with the n-1 array, but that would internally allocate an extra array...

digital hollow Jan 4, 2019, 7:35 PM

#

Have you tried joinString with the newlines?

tough abyss Jan 4, 2019, 7:35 PM

#

_attributeValues apply {str _x} joinString (","+endl)

maybe @cosmic lichen ?

languid tundra Jan 4, 2019, 7:36 PM

#

lol, go for joinString seriously!

tough abyss Jan 4, 2019, 7:36 PM

#

shit

digital hollow Jan 4, 2019, 7:37 PM

#

May not even need apply {str _x}

tough abyss Jan 4, 2019, 7:38 PM

#

He used it

#

I mean str _x

languid tundra Jan 4, 2019, 7:39 PM

#

joinString does it for you already

#

no need

tough abyss Jan 4, 2019, 7:39 PM

#

you mean [1,2,3] joinstring "" will work?

languid tundra Jan 4, 2019, 7:39 PM

#

yes, it will

tough abyss Jan 4, 2019, 7:40 PM

#

well maybe he wanted extra ""

languid tundra Jan 4, 2019, 7:41 PM

#

could be done with the separator though

hey, i could use somehelp with some code im trying to get working. Im trying to execute code remotley on a client from a server side addon. I need to be able to pass values in to it.
this is the call to the function that is supposed to remotely execute the code on the client.

[_Msg, {systemChat _this}, 1, _squadname] call utility_6_fnc_apply;

this is the code in the function that is supposed to remotely execute on the client.

params ["_ValuesForClient","_codeForClient", "_targetClientType", "_targetClientFilter"];

private _allHCs = entities "HeadlessClient_F";
private _allHPs = allPlayers - _allHCs;
{
    switch (_targetClientType) do {
        case 1: 
        {
            //this is for selecting players in squad            
            
            private _RoleDesc = roleDescription _x;
            private _temp = _RoleDesc splitString " - ";
            private _squadname = _temp select 0;
            if (_squadname == _targetClientFilter) then
            {                
                [_ValuesForClient, _codeForClient] remoteExec ["call", _x];
            };
        };
    }    
} forEach _allHPs;

error in getting

Error in expression <lter) then

  Error position: <_codeForClient] remoteExec ["call", _x];>

If I create a unit on the server-side I can still do selectPlayer on that unit for a player to take it over aye? But it will be local to the player afterwards 4 ever?

languid tundra Jan 4, 2019, 8:14 PM

#

Yes, you can and it will stay local to the player unless you have some scripts or he disconnects.

#

@exotic tinsel
~~It would probably be better to not use remoteExec in a loop, but use -2 as the target instead and do the exception for HC inside the code you pass.~~

for mod you have to set allowFunctionsRecompile. And I think there is a BIS function that you can call to recompile all functions

cosmic lichen Jan 4, 2019, 8:35 PM

BIS_fnc_recompile

digital jacinth Jan 4, 2019, 8:35 PM

yup
diag_mergeConfigFile ["P:\diwako_dui\config.cpp"];[] call BIS_fnc_recompile;

#

that is what i am doing, tho i believe i am missing allowFunctionsRecompile

#

tho no idea where to put that, i am only finding it for description.ext

in your description.ext

digital jacinth Jan 4, 2019, 8:37 PM

#

anywhere specific?

still forum Jan 4, 2019, 8:38 PM

#

description.ext should be enough to restart the mission

#

they are only stored in missionNamespace, and that's cleared when you exit the mission. So it HAS to recompile anyway

digital jacinth Jan 4, 2019, 8:39 PM

nah, doesn't work i am doing something wrong...

still forum Jan 4, 2019, 8:40 PM

#

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Functions_Library#Recompiling I think that might go into root config. Or into CfgFunctions

#

Do you have the files in correct path in your Arma directory?

digital jacinth Jan 4, 2019, 8:41 PM

#

pbo prefix is diwako_dui. I made a junction link in my root a3 folder called "diwako_dui" that links to the roo git folder where the config.cpp is located

#

same in the p drive

still forum Jan 4, 2019, 8:42 PM

#

junction? I always use symlink.

#

dunno if Arma cares

digital jacinth Jan 4, 2019, 8:45 PM

#

well starting up arma makes it load the unpacked files. For some reason I cannot make changes to sqf files and then restart the mission to make them apply.

#

wait a minute, when looking into the functions viewer they are recompiled but the systemchat command still shows the old value.. this is confusing

digital jacinth Jan 4, 2019, 9:35 PM

#

Yeah I am giving up on this. i put allowFunctionsRecompile = 1; inside the mod config, the mission, into cfgFunctions, in the class in cfgFunctions and inside the child class functions. even cfgpatches and root config. I do see the changes in the functions viewer after mission restart, but the old code is still executed.

Hello scripting people. I'm a little new to this. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to get 2D bounding boxes of objects on the screen? Similar to this image: https://i.imgur.com/4HUX6RK.jpg
But instead of actually drawing the boxes, save the coordinates of the box to a text file (also save an image of the screen)?

still forum Jan 5, 2019, 4:07 AM

#

take the normal bounding box, and worldToScreen all points

surreal vapor Jan 5, 2019, 4:09 AM

#

sweet, thank you!

#

In case I need any detailed help (I have never modded a game), is it OK to offer to pay people here for help?

still forum Jan 5, 2019, 4:13 AM

#

#creators_recruiting yes

surreal vapor Jan 5, 2019, 4:14 AM

#

thanks again!

#

One potential challenge: how hard would it be to adjust the bounding box based on other objects blocking the view? For example, a soldier peeking above a barrier might only have a box around his head. Or a soldier completely behind a building would have no box.

still forum Jan 5, 2019, 4:26 AM

#

oof

#

lineIntersects can probably kinda do it

#

but. It's basically just a single line from your camera to the target

#

so the more granularity you want, the more lines you need

surreal vapor Jan 5, 2019, 4:27 AM

#

yeah i figured it could be pretty tough

#

i at least don't have to run it in real time if that makes it more possible

young current Jan 5, 2019, 1:11 PM

#

@surreal vapor out of curiosity how do you intend to use the script? it does look like an interesting scifi-ish sensor input hud element

mint kraken Jan 5, 2019, 1:52 PM

#

So I have a type 12 control (tree list) but I want to loop through the tree. But I am not sure what array to get in order to loop through it. My idea is that I add all players, then every now and then it refreshes the player list. My idea is why remove the list when u can just loop through them and see if they are online or not.

young current Jan 5, 2019, 1:55 PM

#

wouldnt checking each player be slower than just dropping a new list?

mint kraken Jan 5, 2019, 1:59 PM

#

Wouldnt it look weird? It would kind of collapse everything

young current Jan 5, 2019, 2:00 PM

#

dunno

#

does anyone look a the list all the time?

mint kraken Jan 5, 2019, 2:01 PM

#

Its for an admin camera, and if an admin is "patroling" they would see the menu just collapse every now and then.

young current Jan 5, 2019, 2:01 PM

#

Id wager if the list isnt many hundreds long it should pretty much draw it in single frame

mint kraken Jan 5, 2019, 2:04 PM

#

How would I loop through a tree anyways?

Loop through a tree - either depth first or breath first are the usual ways.

hey guys, im new to scripting in arma and i want to ask how i can get the number of kills a team (for example bluefor) has made ?

astral dawn Jan 5, 2019, 3:36 PM

#

I think you should look into event handlers. Add a killed event handler, inside which you check who has killed the given unit and adjust the score array.

#

I might be wrong, probably it is already done in arma somehow, I don't know for sure

frozen knoll Jan 5, 2019, 8:56 PM

seems like your on the right path valon .... good luck

languid tundra Jan 5, 2019, 9:00 PM

#

The original issue is that when you change the locality of a unit, it can lose all its gear. There are countless threads in forums etc. When I investigated the issue in more detail, I noticed that you can predict if the unit will lose its gear, when you see that the machine you will it transfer to returns "" for getUnitLoadout.

#

https://github.com/acemod/ACEX/issues/48

tough abyss Jan 5, 2019, 9:03 PM

#

I mean for the developer this should be extremely easy to track. The command returns array, so in order to return "" it has to literally return type string, and to find which branch returns string should take like 10 seconds for someone with code

languid tundra Jan 5, 2019, 9:05 PM

#

Oh wait, it probably was an empty array instead 🤦

tough abyss Jan 5, 2019, 9:12 PM

#

Anyway thanks for the link, nothing to be concerned with, looks like the use of command with global effect in local field, resulting in execution for every client. If there is an undefined behaviour in SQF this will be it, results are totally unpredictable when this happens, there are tonnes of examples with setObjectTextureGlobal being placed in init an fucking up spectacularly and unpredictably, same shit different day.

@young current I'm hoping to use this for training/testing an object detector. Normally we have to draw boxes by hand on thousands of images. So if we can use a videogame and make the boxes automatically, it could be a huge help.

i dont know how you have it in your init.sqf but it should only be called on the server and added to player when connecting

everytime you have a player join the kills will be reset to 0 for them

for me personally the way i handle this is server side i create addPublicVariableEventHandler

myScript_getPlayerData = {

_player addMPEventHandler ["MPKilled", {_this call myScript_fnc_onPlayerKilled}];

and then local (player side when connecting)

i call it

it shouldnt be just a scoreboard it should spawn vehicles if a teams get to many kills

basically you need to make sure the eventhandler is added to the player from the server when player connects

otherwise you will have issues

frozen knoll Jan 5, 2019, 9:50 PM

depends if you want to just have a mission file or also create a server side folder for handling server functions
i would do the later but if your just making something not to complex and just want to use some MPevents then make use of the initServer.sqf

quartz oracle Jan 5, 2019, 9:53 PM

#

because i have this mod
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1420266916

and he says:

publicVariable "DCON_Garage_Enabled";```
Put any of these somewhere in your mission file or run it locally on the console. By default this value is set to 1

and i want to have in on 0, when i do it via console run lokal it works but if i run it via init.sqf it just deactivates it for me

it should deactivate it for everyone

is there a way can can add a event handler to all vehicles in the mission
i want to attach a GetOut event handler to every vehicle in the game thats starts a timer when the player exits the vehicle and respawns the vehicle after the vehicle doesnt got used for an amount of time. it should also be reatacht when the vehicle get respawnt and the timer should stop / reset when a player gets back in ?

vernal mural Jan 6, 2019, 10:53 AM

#

@harsh vine pretty straightforward. The "hit" eventhandler already contains the type of damage and the origin of the injury

#

BTW, I was wondering if there is a way to identify a weapon uniquely ? I would like to keep track of an object even when it is placed on the ground by a player, or passed to another player. I know it's not possible for items, but as weapons can be passed directly with attachements, they can be differenciated from each others in a given WeaponHolder. So there might be a unique identifier ?

vernal mural Jan 6, 2019, 11:36 AM

#

nevermind, I found the best way to do it : https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/217638-mp-how-to-setvariable-to-inventorys-item/

If I run that script in initPlayerLocal on every player's client they all get a different arsenal I'm guessing?

#

[object,itemClasses,removeGlobally] call BIS_fnc_removeVirtualItemCargo
removeGlobally parameter let you decide if the removal should be for everyone, or only on the runner's machine. So as long as you run it with this parameter set to "false", from the initPlayerLocal script, yes, each player will see it's "own" arsenal

Yes, with base respawn option if you place respawn marker and name it with group leader then it will be used by that group. For example group leader name is bob then respawn marker named respawn_bob will be used by bob's group members

You use wrong command @drowsy axle, gimme a minute

#

find return the index of first element in array, which is equal to element, that you want to find. If command can't find it -1 returns.
So correct expression looks like:
((_array find _obj)>-1)
This code returns bool for "if" construction

lost copper Jan 7, 2019, 6:24 AM

#

getUnitLoadout returns a Unit Loadout Array, specified in CfgVehicles or mission config. I think, that you want to analize current unit loadout, so you need to get all items from uniform, backpack and vest of the unit.
This containers can be getted by "everyContainer" (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/everyContainer) and items from each container can getted by "itemCargo" (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/itemCargo). In the end you will get 3 array of classnames you should only try to find "ACE_earplugs" in one of them, @drowsy axle.

if you would read the full paragraph, you would come to the conclusion, that joining grpNull is impossible using join

but beware, as brand new group is created for the leaving unit and this could result in the number of groups in a mission growing out of control.

gimme the classes of those two ... i am not sure how that is actually done or consult #arma3_config as chances are, they actually know what makes an object have simulation

astral tendon Jan 7, 2019, 1:42 PM

Land_Bodybag_01_empty_black_F (has simulation) and Sign_Arrow_Cyan_F (don't)

"ACE_earplugs" in (player call CBA_fnc_uniqueUnitItems) That's just about how ace does it

and by making the object invisible it does make it still with out disable the simulation, because swichmove in a non simulated attach object make the animaton akward

Got a relatively simple question. I just want to define a group as the squad leader’s name (e.g. a1). I heard you can put the following in the init of the SL: a1 = group this . I think I might be doing something wrong.

#

So, when the SL passes through a trigger, it applies to the rest of the squad

digital hollow Jan 7, 2019, 2:50 PM

#

The first part is fine. Second part: apply what?

tough abyss Jan 7, 2019, 6:13 PM

#

A basic script like Combat

digital hollow Jan 7, 2019, 6:18 PM

#

So setCombatMode when the group reaches a certain spot?

#

You can put that code in the waypoint as well, which would probably be simpler.

This script is working properly, but the command "deleteVehicle intel" is happening right away. I'm trying to make it so you read the documents and then they disappear, which is tied to a trigger !alive intel;

#

this addAction ["Read Documents", deleteVehicle intel,{ player createDiaryRecord ["Diary", ["Intel", "Enemy forces are planning an attack on <marker name='attack2'>Checkpoint Lima</marker> using suicide bombers"]]}];

#

What's a good way to make it so the task is completed when the intel is picked up?

#

Basically, I want "deleteVehicle intel" to happen AFTER you select the "read documents" action

languid tundra Jan 7, 2019, 9:00 PM

Please use the syntax below for making your code more readable:

Also your code has a syntax error, consult the BIKI https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addAction.
Note that deleteVehicle intel does not count as type "CODE", but {deleteVehicle intel} does.

hi guys. Im running a script that is triggered with the engine eventhandler. this script start a while loop that keeps running as long as the engine is on, and takes a few seconds to loop once.

my problem is this. if (for some reason) someone turns on and off the engine very fast, I end up with having multiple instances of the same loop running. I would like to terminate the older ones if a new one starts. Can I detect instances of running scripts and terminate them?

winter rose Jan 7, 2019, 11:44 PM

#

@nocturne basalt you could via scriptDone and terminate for example

languid tundra Jan 7, 2019, 11:49 PM

Or use something like CBA_fnc_addPerFrameHandler/CBA_fnc_removePerFrameHandler instead of a while-loop.

Ok thanks gonna check it out

#

@winter rose where would you store the script id? I run it with execVM in the eventhandler. So next time the EH is triggered I wont know what the last id was

Maybe diag_activeSQFScripts to fetch them?

have i completely overlooked something.... is there a quick way to get loaded magazine and ammo amount of a particular weapon... lets say primaryWeapon ???

#

i just got it by the below but it seems like there should be a fast way

#

`_magmagazinesAmmoArray = magazinesAmmoFull player;
_weaponMag = [];

{
if (((_magmagazinesAmmoArray select _forEachIndex) select 4) == (primaryWeapon player)) then
{
_weaponMag append [((_magmagazinesAmmoArray select _forEachIndex) select 0),((_magmagazinesAmmoArray select _forEachIndex) select 1)];
};
} forEach _magmagazinesAmmoArray;`

#

this is so i can remove the mag and add it back later with correct ammo amount

ruby breach Jan 8, 2019, 3:02 AM

#

@frozen knoll Wouldn't it be easier to just use something like ```sqf
getUnitLoadout player param [0,[]] param [4,[]] param [1,-1]; //returns PrimaryWeapon's Primary Muzzle ammo count, or -1 if no weapon/magazine found

#

See https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/getUnitLoadout / https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Unit_Loadout_Array - Always returned in the same format means you can just use param with a default value instead of looping

has anyone gotten a hold of the source for killzonekids make_file (file writing extension) or have a source i can use? i need to be able to write to a text file from a single player session. ive tried to make my own extension but for whatever reason, extensions i compile dont seem to have any effect in a3. made sure they are in 64 bit, release instead of debug, followed instructions on a3 site and on killzone kids.... but with all the updates to visual studio (im using the latest) it feels like there could be some crazy setting deeply baked into it that doesnt let it work for me!

#

at a glance ```// a3filewrite_64.cpp : Defines the exported functions for the DLL application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>

__declspec(dllexport) void __stdcall RVExtension(char *output, int outputSize, const char *function);
void write(char *text);

int strncpy_safe(char *output, const char *src, int size)
{
int i;
size--;
for (i = 0; i < size && src[i] != '\0'; i++)
{
output[i] = src[i];
}
output[i] = '\0';
return i;
}

void write(char *text) {
std::ofstream myfile;
myfile.open("D:\1.txt");
myfile << "Face" <<"\n";
myfile.close();
}

void RVExtension(char *output, int outputSize, const char *function)
{
char message[] = "Hello";
//write(output);
write(message);
char outputs[] = "output";

//strncpy_safe(outputs, function, outputSize);
strncpy_s(output, outputSize, "IT WORKS!", _TRUNCATE);

}

#

i was unsure if a3 extensions needed to be named name_x64.dll and called with just the name part cause the doc was weird on that, so i tried renaming my dll to _x64 (its named _64 cause thats how i named the solution)

#

but that changed nothing

#

i dont know if its anything wrong in the DLL that just makes it not load on a3 startup, or if its not compiled properly. how even could i know?

#

and other extensions work - i dropped killzonekids make_file_x64.dll into aram3 root and it worked right away

ive also disabled battleEye

I was wondering if someone might be able to kindly help me with the Animdone event handler?

astral dawn Jan 8, 2019, 8:27 AM

#

@fringe widget Probably people can help you here if you describe your problem

fringe widget Jan 8, 2019, 8:36 AM

#

Alright, so I am trying to use the push up animation "AmovPercMstpSnonWnonDnon_exercisePushup" in combination with the Animdone event handler to create a loop in which my ai unit does push ups continually. This is followed by romoteexec'ing this into mp.

My main concern is that the event handler doesn't loop this animation. My scripting knowledge is very poor so in the interim I gave the ai cycle waypoints and used this code on the move waypoint as a juryrigged method of making them repeat it. But I'd like to know for my future use how to make them repeat the animation.

My code:
if ( isServer ) then{ [this, "AmovPercMstpSnonWnonDnon_exercisePushup"] remoteExecCall ["playMoveNow", this, true];this addEventHandler ["AnimDone",{ params ["_unit", "_anim"];if ( _anim == "AmovPercMstpSnonWnonDnon_exercisePushup" ) then{ [_unit, " AmovPercMstpSnonWnonDnon_exercisePushup"] remoteExecCall ["playMoveNow", _unit, true]; };}];};

astral dawn Jan 8, 2019, 9:01 AM

#

First of all make sure that your event handler gets fired at all, add some diag_log or systemChat into it

#

Also embed your code into discord like this: ''' at start of code block and ''' at the end.

#

''' are the ' at your ~ key actually, the one which is above tab

#

Also... waht is this and why do you have to remote call the code on the owner of the AI? Is AI owned by a separate machine, not by server?

#

Oh I think you add the code into the init field of the ai guy, right?

fringe widget Jan 8, 2019, 9:05 AM

#

right

#

the handler seems to have ran.

astral dawn Jan 8, 2019, 9:11 AM

#

and... does this branch get activated? if ( _anim == "AmovPercMstpSnonWnonDnon_exercisePushup" ) in other words, does it return the proper animation name?

fringe widget Jan 8, 2019, 9:16 AM

#

yeah I don't really know what I'm doing with diaglog or system chat within that script. should've been more upfront

astral dawn Jan 8, 2019, 9:24 AM

#

just do systemChat format ["_unit: %1, _anim: %2", _unit, _anim]; inside the event handler or something of that kind. Also check how to use the .rpt file and how to use the diag_log command (it's really simple). This should be enough to debug your simple script for now.

The 3rd param in remote exec, right after the target param

astral dawn Jan 8, 2019, 9:38 AM

#

Find out who owns your AIs. See owner on wiki.
If they are owned by server all the time then there is no use to use remoteExec at all, because they are local to the server already.
If they can join player's squad then they will be local to player as far as I know, then playMove must be executed on player's machine.
But I assume your AIs are owned just by server right now.

tough abyss Jan 8, 2019, 9:40 AM

Or, create an agent on the server and loop it in animation and skip all malarkey with AI and ownership

okay so the leader isn't soing the animation because hes the drill sergeant or whatever. the others that are, aren't 'leaders' so therefore they will not be local? or have I ballsed that up?

all units in one group are local to one computer

Why didn't you say so straight away, very difficult to help someone with the XY Problem (google it if you want) . Anyway, you dont need AnimDone EH as pushup animation is endless. Put a group of AIs in editor and add this to the leader's init:

if (isServer) then
{
    {
        private _pos = getPosASL _x;
        private _dir = getDir _x;
        private _a = createAgent [typeOf _x, [1,1,1], [], 0, "NONE"];
        deleteVehicle _x;
        _a disableAI "ALL";
        _a setDir _dir;
        _a setPosASL _pos;

I have an event handler to check if they've been loaded with ace3 cargo. that works. but I cant figure out how to numerically count them. At the moment I've tried a few different things and havent gotten it to work. Currently I've got 4 barrels listed in an array _barrelarray_1 = [barrel1,barrel2,barrel3,barrel4]; and I should be able to use that to check if any of the barrels have been loaded?

It looks like ace cargo keeps what a vehicle is carrying in an object scope variable. You can get it with

private _loaded = _interactionVehicle getVariable ["ace_cargo_loaded", []];

#

Are you already referencing the ace github?

marble pasture Jan 8, 2019, 2:57 PM

#

had to leave for work, so I can't look at my code at the moment. Though here's the gist of the concept

_barrelarray_1 = [barrel1,barrel2,barrel3,barrel4]

["ace_cargoLoaded", barrel_loaded] call CBA_fnc_addEventHandler;
 
 barrel_loaded = {
     params ["_item", "_vehicle"];
     if (_item isEqualto _barrelarray_1 && (!alive _item) then {
         hint "barrel loaded", barrelcounter1 = barrelcounter1 + 1, 
            if (barrelcounter1 = 3 then {hint "Objective Complete"});
     };
 };``` 
The Hints are just visual checks that pop up when things happen. I've been able to get it to work with a single object instead of an array, but adding multiple objects has been stopping me.

https://github.com/dedmen/Intercept_FastScript
Only took me a month to accidentally step on it. Could use this to ignore the 3ms limit of the scheduler or do something else fancy.
It's not really a scheduler though. It's the script VM evaluator.

That project was fun while it lasted... Something like 2x as fast script execution on AMD processors was the result I think. I should probably fix that up to get the FPS boost back.

queen cargo Jan 8, 2019, 3:18 PM

So... it's an alternative sqf VM? 😕

still forum Jan 8, 2019, 3:20 PM

#

It's the evaluator part of the SQF VM inside the Arma engine

#

replaced virtual function calls by static lookup. That removed one or two memory jumps that had to wait for RAM to return results. That made scripts run a whole lot faster on AMD, almost no effect on Intel CPU's

astral dawn Jan 8, 2019, 3:21 PM

#

Oh that looks fun... I think i've read something about C++ tables for virtual functions... so this addon messes with these tables?

Nope. It circumvents the lookup of these tables

What if... reimplement the whole SQF machine, but make each command which alters a global state(or arma object) or accesses engine protected by a mutex, then we would be able to spawn scripts on separate cores?

#

Hmm... still will be bound to the single arma's thread on engine manipulations though... but might boost pure calculations without global variable access

the memory allocator for script values is a global pool allocator.

I'd guess that making a local allocator is not so hard? Considering that @queen cargo already has an SQF virtual machine and there is an Intercept to potentially interface it with the engine 🤔

X39 is not using Arma data types

astral dawn Jan 8, 2019, 4:37 PM

But neither intercept does?

#

I mean they both use some approximation, right?

Intercept does.

How do you mean?

no

Intercept hacks it as it is

still forum Jan 8, 2019, 4:39 PM

I prefer the term "interfaces"

When you say hack people always think of wallhacks and aimbots and that crap

People give words different meanings all the time

astral dawn Jan 8, 2019, 4:40 PM

#

How can you potentially do that reliably? What if they decide to repack a few structs inside the RV code for whatever reason, won't this interface break?

still forum Jan 8, 2019, 4:40 PM

#

It would break. But they don't

tough abyss Jan 8, 2019, 4:40 PM

#

Yep

queen cargo Jan 8, 2019, 4:44 PM

#

@astral dawn you can use SQF-VM and implement that ... actually, implementing everything threaded would be fairly simple without the rendering part (which is the actual reason why all of that is so "hard")

still forum Jan 8, 2019, 4:46 PM

#

Some things could be multithreaded internally. Like nearestObjects and similar. That do lots of work in engine. That would be a fairly simple optimization. But because these commands are so slow, few scripts use them anyway

queen cargo Jan 8, 2019, 4:47 PM

#

i still highly doubt that there is an actual need for keeping that on a single thread
why exactly does stuff like setPosition eg. need to run on a single thread? only reason that would come into my mind would be so that it does not alters eg. simulation stuff or when other commands use it

on the other hand, what if all of those "properties" that get changed max. on per frame basis, would then be mirrored?

#

in the end, there are ways to get everything multithreaded, i am fairly sure about that

Can you return a config of a control from an onLBSelChanged UI eventhandler? I am trying to set a var on onLBSelChanged change and get the name from the config property text. It works fine on attributeload/save because those EH return a config value. Is there some magical command or function I am missing?

slim oyster Jan 8, 2019, 5:14 PM

hmm, no command/fnc to return the current config path? I could use the classname if I point directly to the attribute category config but I want to use this control in a few different attribute groups.

still forum Jan 8, 2019, 5:15 PM

#

You can only have text in a listbox though?

#

what config path fo you want?

#

what is in that listbox?

slim oyster Jan 8, 2019, 5:16 PM

#

same config as returned from attributeLoad eventhandler in an 3den attribute

still forum Jan 8, 2019, 5:17 PM

#

what 3den attribute? what type?

slim oyster Jan 8, 2019, 5:18 PM

#

My own attribute, creates a combobox with available ace arsenal mission loadouts.

#

https://pastebin.com/CinLdgDS

still forum Jan 8, 2019, 5:19 PM

#

just a normal combo box?

#

or some special config entry combo box?

slim oyster Jan 8, 2019, 5:19 PM

#

no it inherits from combo

#

it just doesn't have any config values for the combo itself, all of the values/entries are added on attributeload

still forum Jan 8, 2019, 5:20 PM

#

what config path do you expect?

slim oyster Jan 8, 2019, 5:20 PM

#

similar to the way the combopreview for some of cfgmusic are

still forum Jan 8, 2019, 5:20 PM

#

ace arsenal loadouts are not config values

slim oyster Jan 8, 2019, 5:21 PM

#

in attributeSave and attributeLoad it gives the _config parameter which is a direct path to the current attribute entry

still forum Jan 8, 2019, 5:21 PM

#

or do you want the mission.sqm config that contains the attribute?

#

that's engine code. No command or script for that afaik.
maybe getMissionConfigValue command? or similarly named. Don't know how you'd find that exact attribute with that though

slim oyster Jan 8, 2019, 5:22 PM

#

I want it to be able to find the path without accessing mission.sqm since this is an addon for mission makers and for use in 3den

#

Hmm, i feared that

#

any good way to pass the _config attributeLoad parameter to other EH?

#

There's no namespace/var storage specifically for controls right?

still forum Jan 8, 2019, 5:24 PM

#

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

#

last 2 lines in description of that command

slim oyster Jan 8, 2019, 5:24 PM

#

oh no way

#

thanks arma 3

#

that was exactly what I needed, perfect

#

hmm, i wonder why EH on controls don't have _config passed to them anyways, since their attributeload will give them that

#

now I'm just going to give them a var for that and immediately access it, strange

still forum Jan 8, 2019, 5:26 PM

#

because it doesn't make sense

slim oyster Jan 8, 2019, 5:26 PM

#

true haha, thanks for the help

still forum Jan 8, 2019, 5:26 PM

#

There being a config to fill the control is specific to 3DEN attributes

#

that's why you have the 2 special attribute functions

#

Why modify all dozens of eventhandlers for that single usecase

slim oyster Jan 8, 2019, 5:27 PM

#

but EH can be different based on the config, so anything within Cfg3den could have a different EH...

#

my guess is that they just didnt see any use for it

still forum Jan 8, 2019, 5:27 PM

#

Reimplement every control eventhandler twice?

#

Just for that single usecase?

slim oyster Jan 8, 2019, 5:28 PM

#

since all the vanilla 3den stuff works off of saving/loading mission and expression on postInit

#

yes 😉

what do you want to hear first?

slim oyster Jan 8, 2019, 5:31 PM

use the eventhandlers to call to a function that starts the timer and can exit when unit is out of vehicle

still forum Jan 8, 2019, 5:31 PM

I have like.. Half a dozen or more problems in that stuff

vapid drift Jan 8, 2019, 5:35 PM

Am I missing something obvious here? This is executed by the server but all players are not receiving the actions:

    [player,
        [
            "Turn radio on",
            { ["radioOn"] execVM "radio.sqf"; },
            "",
            1.5,
            false,
            false,
            "",
            "'ItemRadio' in assignedItems player && !(player getVariable 'TFR_radioIsOn') && TFR_spawned"
        ]
    ] remoteExec ["addAction", 0, true];```
Only the player hosting is getting the actions

still forum Jan 8, 2019, 5:36 PM

#

use private keyword when creating local variables.
Line 2 and 3 do nothing. If you want to create a variable you have to assign something.
use booleans for _timerRunning.
the parenthesis in the while condition are useless.
invalid semicolon before else
you should stop the timer once it get's to 0, not just on the GetOut eh.
your local variables don't magically carry over to the eventhandlers. You probably want to setVariable onto the this object.
your _TimerTime variable is kinda useless, you can just write the value directly when you set _timer.
Why are you setting _timer when you stop the timer in getIn? It will be reset anyway when you restart the timer so that one set is useless.
once your while loop exits once it will never run again. As _timerRunning is not set to 0 it will run the while condition once and then just exit

#

@vapid drift This is executed by the server There is no player on the server. You are telling everyone to add your action to.. nobody.

#

is that TFR aka TFAR? The radio mod?

vapid drift Jan 8, 2019, 5:37 PM

#

@still forum doesn't the 0 flag in remoteExec tell it to execute on the server as well as each player? Also, no, TFR is a custom tag

still forum Jan 8, 2019, 5:37 PM

#

Yes it does

#

But as I said. There is no player on server

#

you are executing objNull addAction ... on the server as well as each player

#

which adds the action to nobody. objNull is a non existent object

#

it will just be ignored

vapid drift Jan 8, 2019, 5:39 PM

#

ok, I misunderstood the order of things

still forum Jan 8, 2019, 5:39 PM

#

Also 0 doesn't make sense. adding a action on a server doesn't make sense, the server cannot execute actions

Maybe you can assist with this? the intent is to have a a trigger activate when the barrels are loaded into a truck via ace cargo.  I can get it to work with a single barrel but not with multiple barrels.

still forum Jan 8, 2019, 5:39 PM

barrelcounter1 = 3 that's not how you compare values

#

if (barrelcounter1 = 3 then missing closing parenthesis

#

then {hint "Objective Trigger Activated"}); one closing parenthesis too many

#

["ace_cargoLoaded", barrel_loaded] call CBA_fnc_addEventHandler;
 
 barrel_loaded = {

You need to edfine the function BEFORE you add the eventhandler

#

_item isEqualto _barrelarray_1 that will never happen. A single object won't be equal to an array of strings

#

if (_item isEqualto _barrelarray_1 && (!alive _item) then missing closing parenthesis

#

&& (!alive _item) you only want dead barrels? Can barrels even be alive?

marble pasture Jan 8, 2019, 5:43 PM

the !alive check if the barrel object has been physically removed.

slim oyster Jan 8, 2019, 5:43 PM

@still forum Just a note, I've redefined all Cfg3den controls that inherit the title control class to have an additional EH to set the passed _config value to any child controls in 3den 😃 seems to work great. Adding a namespace for displays and controls was perfect

appreciate the assistance, btw mr Ded

if the barrel object has been physically removed. That means it will be objNull. isNull command checks that
