evening there, noob question incoming :

#

i'm looking at execVM and call commands and i cant get the difference ! i can apply call to an object but not execVM ?

winter rose Jan 15, 2020, 10:06 PM

#

hmm example plz?

runic edge Jan 15, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

i want to call a script that reload a crate

#

execVM "crate.sqf";

#

or

#

mycrate call "crate.sqf";

cunning crown Jan 15, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

No, it's either
myCrate execVM "crate.sqf" OR myCrate call YOUR_FUNCTION

runic edge Jan 15, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

ok

#

so i can apply execVM to a certain object then ?

cunning crown Jan 15, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

Yup

runic edge Jan 15, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

ok and call is used only for functions ?

cunning crown Jan 15, 2020, 10:14 PM

#

Only for CODE, functions are code but you could also do myCrate call { .... }: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/call

runic edge Jan 15, 2020, 10:17 PM

#

but it's confusing 🥴 execVM is code isn't it ?

winter rose Jan 15, 2020, 10:18 PM

#

execVM calls the code that is contained in a file

#

basically, execVM takes a file, call takes code

runic edge Jan 15, 2020, 10:19 PM

#

ok much clearer 🙃

#

thanks a lot guys

cunning crown Jan 15, 2020, 10:20 PM

#

If in doubt, check our Bible (the Wiki), everything is explained there https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/

Hi all, I'm trying to recreate the AI respawning behavior in the Virtual Arsenal, I'm currently stuck on what I'd have to do after an AI target is killed since setDammage will not work if the AI isn't alive.

sudden yacht Jan 16, 2020, 5:45 AM

#

I have a script that attaches a unit to an another in a medic animation. Works fine in single player. In MP the unit some times does not attach it selt to the correct unit position.... Keep in mind I have detach using a sleep command a couple seconds later... Any idea why?

@west sand what AI in virtual Arsenal?

west sand Jan 16, 2020, 7:10 AM

#

Referring to the roaming targets that stand/patrol near the player when you go into the Virtual Arsenal practice range

#

Not necessarily BIS_fnc_arsenal itself

How do i allow third person when connected to a uav? i use the following code to allow third person when in a vehicle.

while {true} do
{
    if (cameraView == "External") then
    {
        if ((vehicle player) isEqualTo player) then
        {
            player switchCamera "Internal";
        };
        {
            if (isPlayer _x) then
            {
                player switchCamera "Internal";

is there a way to disable the LOD on usertexture objects

#

or will i just have to make my own

jade abyss Jan 16, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

usertexture objects?

ebon citrus Jan 16, 2020, 9:54 PM

#

UserTexture10m_F

#

i need it to render at full quality no matter the range

#

the shape and textures aren't all that complicated, so i might just make an object for it

#

but im trying to avoid making a mod for now

#

anyone know a code for a bomb in a van with a timer after players have entered a radius??

ebon citrus Jan 16, 2020, 10:04 PM

#

if you can, you could try to attach a trigger into the van

#

haven't played around with them though, so im not sure how they work exactly

#

another option is to spawn a waituntil

tough abyss Jan 16, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

Ok, thank you

ebon citrus Jan 16, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

and once the condition is filled, enter a sleep for timer ammount and then spawn a gbu at the van position

#

i can write a real quick and dirty oen for you if you want to that you can work off of

oblique arrow Jan 16, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

Place trigger around the van in the radius you want
use createVehicle (or a similar command) to create an explosve charge
wait for x seconds
setDamage 1 on the charge

tough abyss Jan 16, 2020, 10:06 PM

#

Yeah thank you!

ebon citrus Jan 16, 2020, 10:06 PM

#

alrighty, just s second

#

will the van be moving?

oblique arrow Jan 16, 2020, 10:06 PM

#

Btw do you peeps know if theres a command to change a units side?

tough abyss Jan 16, 2020, 10:06 PM

#

yes it will be moving to a building and then driver has time to escape and it explodes

ebon citrus Jan 16, 2020, 10:06 PM

#

ummm...

#

you could create a headquarters unit

#

and then a group under that headquarters

#

and move the unit you want to change the side of into that group

#

it's a bit dirty, but i remember getting it working maybe once

#

@tough abyss hold on, let me dm you

exotic flax Jan 16, 2020, 10:08 PM

#

Use addAction on the vehicle, set a timer (eg. 30 seconds), when timer reaches 0 place an explosive under the vehicle and make it explode

jade abyss Jan 16, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

@oblique arrow Create a group on "enemy" side, let the unit join that group.

#

"Headquarter" is not needed anymore (formaly createCenter)

thanks Dscha for clearing the headquarters thing. I had not needed to use anything like this in years

jade abyss Jan 16, 2020, 11:17 PM

#

And i already forgot it (had to search for it's correct name again 😂 )

ebon citrus Jan 16, 2020, 11:17 PM

#

btw, here is the quick script i wrote for what @tough abyss was asking for:

null=this spawn
{
    waituntil{{_x distance _this < 500} count allPlayers > 0};
    _charge = createMine ["SatchelCharge_F", position _this, [], 0];
    _charge attachTo [_this,[0.7,-0.85,-0.87]];
    [_charge, 600] call ace_explosives_fnc_scriptedExplosive;
    _this addEventHandler ["Explosion", {
        params ["_vehicle", "_damage"];
        {
            if (typeOf _x == "SatchelCharge_Remote_Ammo") then {
                 "Bo_GBU12_LGB" createVehicle (position _vehicle);
            };
        }forEach(attachedObjects _vehicle);
        _vehicle removeAllEventHandlers "Explosion";
    }];
};```


Intended use:
To be dropped into the Init field of vanilla arma 3 Van Boxxer. Ace is a requirement. It will spawn an explosive bag ontop of the fueltank that is defusable with a defusing kit

multiplayer compatible (i assume, haven't actually tested it out yet)

#

it has surely got some points to improve still, like if someone detonates a grenade nearby, the truck will go skyhigh

#

but i cant be asked

#

"it's a feature"

#

feel free to use, reuse, publish or abuse. i dont care

I am doing intensive allUnits enemySide & distance selects for a variety of functions, and I am thinking of storing that data in the unit with a timer as a way of mitigating redundant calls for those checks again.
Does this make sense? Macros are CBA/ACE

params ["_unit", ["_forced",false,[false]]];

private _enemyArray = GETVAR(_unit,enemyArray,[]);
private _enemyUpdateTime = (CBA_MissionTime - GETVAR(_unit,enemyArrayUpdateTime,(CBA_MissionTime - 5)));
if ((_forced) || (_enemyArray isEqualTo []) || (_enemyUpdateTime >= (GETMVAR(EnemyUpdateFrequency,5)))) then {
    private _unitSide = side _unit;
    _enemyArray = (allUnits select {!(_x isKindOf "TargetSoldierBase") && {[_unitSide, (side _x)] call BIS_fnc_sideIsEnemy}}) - allCurators;
    SETVAR(_unit,enemyArrayUpdateTime,CBA_MissionTime);
    SETVAR(_unit,enemyArray,_enemyArray);
};

_enemyArray```

exotic flax Jan 17, 2020, 2:42 AM

#

How and how often is this called/needed?

slim oyster Jan 17, 2020, 2:44 AM

#

this is in an addon that I hope to build on, as of now it gets called by 3 modules with various timings

exotic flax Jan 17, 2020, 2:51 AM

#

Because the function itself makes sense (to me), but I can image it can put a lot of data on an unit and if it's called for each unit a lot of time as well.
Of course I don't know in which context it's used, but I guess in some use cases functions like nearEntities or allGroups could give similar results.

slim oyster Jan 17, 2020, 3:13 AM

#

Function is typically only called for group leader, but occasionally called for MGs and vehicle gunners. Array is typically filtered more for specific cases like visibility, group size, etc.

Want to set up like a private teleporter from one door way to another door way. I want to replicate this across 4 different doorways what's the best / easiest way around this. (Like a sky scraper having an elevator to certain floors but the floors are spread out across buildings. So each door has its own teleporter.)

#

I figured the addAction would be used in the init section but how would one move the player to the location?

#

anyone know any good tutorials for scripting in arma like I am currently going through college and just barely scratched the surface of coding so like is there a good scripting tutorial for eden that I can look into?

#

Like how to get a certain object give it a name and then once I have that I should be able to figure it out by myself

#

Would I setPos or setPosworld

@slim oyster
why the ugly GETVAR macros that CBA/ACE themselves don't even use because they hurt readability too much, and then all these superfluous parenthesis that hurt readability even more :U
You could probably just use cba cachedCall for that, or was it ACE which has that?
also the last entry of the if condition should probably be lazy eval.
also it might be better to do -allCurators first, before you iterate through the units+curators, and then filter them back out afterwards.

Is it possible to get whether or not the player is in a state that lets them fire their weapon?

winter rose Jan 17, 2020, 1:18 PM

#

which state, "animation", or ammo, gun etc?

errant patio Jan 17, 2020, 1:18 PM

#

animation - so false when they're running or sprinting and true when they're in combat stance, standing with weapon up etc.

winter rose Jan 17, 2020, 1:19 PM

#

none I know

errant patio Jan 17, 2020, 1:19 PM

#

dang

#

time to go make a list of animations lol

winter rose Jan 17, 2020, 1:21 PM

#

afaik!

also, maybe the information is in the animation config, so you may get the animationState and go through the config to see if the unit can fire

errant patio Jan 17, 2020, 1:22 PM

#

🤔 that's an idea

winter rose Jan 17, 2020, 1:22 PM

#

now is it a good one, yet to be found out 😄

smoky verge Jan 17, 2020, 1:26 PM

#

so, setVelocityTransform is asking me velocity
how can I give it a certain velocity?

#

the velocity page on the biki says I have to define the classname of a vehicle or something, which I don't/can't have

winter rose Jan 17, 2020, 1:35 PM

#

copy/paste your code?

```sqf
/* your code here*/
```
↓

/* your code here */

brave jungle Jan 17, 2020, 1:36 PM

#

I think i'm right, using the UI EH onLBSelChanged on a combo box would fire it?

smoky verge Jan 17, 2020, 1:36 PM

#

[ 
 getPosASL car1, 
 getPosASL car2, 
_currentVelocity, 
 _nextVelocity, 
 _currentVectorDir, 
 _nextVectorDir, 
 _currentVectorUp, 
 _nextVectorUp, 
 _interval
];```

#

as you can see I barely started

errant patio Jan 17, 2020, 1:38 PM

#

lou you may be pleased to know the answer is as simple as using find with the right keywords on the animationstate

winter rose Jan 17, 2020, 1:38 PM

#

how so?

errant patio Jan 17, 2020, 1:39 PM

#

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/AnimationTitles#STANCE find is pretty cheap, so i'm planning to just run a few checks for substrings like 'sras' and others i need to check

winter rose Jan 17, 2020, 1:40 PM

#

oh this way! indeed - beware of ptential weird naming? (like weapon raised but it's a cutscene anim or such thing)

#

@smoky verge what are

_nextVelocity,
_currentVectorDir,
_nextVectorDir,
_currentVectorUp,
_nextVectorUp,
_interval```?

smoky verge Jan 17, 2020, 1:42 PM

#

its what the biki wants in said slots
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setVelocityTransformation
which is what I was hoping you guys could tell me
apparently the first 2 want Velocity

winter rose Jan 17, 2020, 1:42 PM

#

did you read this page 😄

#

there is a Parameters section

finite sail Jan 17, 2020, 1:42 PM

#

specifically, those velocities are vectors

still forum Jan 17, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

@smoky verge it doesn't take a classname. it takes an object that you apply the transform to

winter rose Jan 17, 2020, 1:45 PM

#

I think he figured that out (see above example)

smoky verge Jan 17, 2020, 1:45 PM

#

yeah I know @winter rose , I'm there
and from that parameters section I went into the velocity page
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/velocity
but I don't understand what it exactly wants
@still forum why would it ask the object I'm moving?

winter rose Jan 17, 2020, 1:45 PM

#

…to move it?

smoky verge Jan 17, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

didn't it already ask it in the first parameter?

winter rose Jan 17, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

it's not a class

#

it's a variable that references the object itself

smoky verge Jan 17, 2020, 1:47 PM

#

yeah my bad, meant variable name

winter rose Jan 17, 2020, 1:47 PM

#

a class is a config entry, the vehicle is an instance of such class

no problem 😉

smoky verge Jan 17, 2020, 1:47 PM

#

What I asked is what to put in fromVelocity and toVelocity

finite sail Jan 17, 2020, 1:48 PM

#

a velocity vector

jade abyss Jan 17, 2020, 1:48 PM

#

[0,0,0] = stop

#

[1,0,0] moving 1 at x axis

#

etc

smoky verge Jan 17, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

oh, and I guess thats [x,y,z]

finite sail Jan 17, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

jade abyss Jan 17, 2020, 1:49 PM

Description:

Just like in the description 😄

#

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

velocity

finite sail Jan 17, 2020, 1:50 PM

#

so you need to work out the vector from the start pos to the end pos

smoky verge Jan 17, 2020, 1:50 PM

#

yeah I thought that too but the example looked different and got confused
I should be set, probably... possibly.

jade abyss Jan 17, 2020, 1:50 PM

#

looks okay, tbh

#

if ((velocity _plane1 select 2) > 50) then { hint "Aircraft is climbing up too fast!"; };

index 2 = Z axis

#

So if velo on Z > +50 = "too fast"

finite sail Jan 17, 2020, 1:51 PM

#

iirc, https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/vectorFromTo can be used to get the vector from 2 positions

jade abyss Jan 17, 2020, 2:03 PM

This moves the car 50% of the path from car1 Pos to car2 Pos, staying at the same vectorUp and Dir

#

So if car1 is at [0,0,0] and car2 at [2,2,2] -> The Pos would be [1,1,1]

3den, not scripting

ebon citrus Jan 17, 2020, 2:09 PM

#

so they need to have it working in script?

smoky verge Jan 17, 2020, 2:09 PM

#

nah, that, would work but it would obliterate any player on it
what I'm trying to do is move the tunnel backwards to give a sense of movement without being beaten down by the engine

jade abyss Jan 17, 2020, 2:10 PM

#

vectorLinConv

smoky verge Jan 17, 2020, 2:10 PM

#

so set velocity transformation won't work?

ebon citrus Jan 17, 2020, 2:11 PM

#

it will

jade abyss Jan 17, 2020, 2:11 PM

#

Of course it will

ebon citrus Jan 17, 2020, 2:11 PM

#

but making anything move smoothly in script is not really performance friendly if there are too many of them

jade abyss Jan 17, 2020, 2:11 PM

#

But since i assume that you have to reset the "tunnel" models* over and over again, you can go this way

smoky verge Jan 17, 2020, 2:12 PM

#

I indeed do, I'll check it out

jade abyss Jan 17, 2020, 2:13 PM

#

e.g. 10 Tunnel Parts
Each one starts with a difference of 0.1 in the rangeValue (assuming using 0..1) -> loopedyloopedy and go on

ebon citrus Jan 17, 2020, 2:13 PM

#

add some blur to the player's screen to make it more convincing even if the object movement is choppy

jade abyss Jan 17, 2020, 2:13 PM

#

for example ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

thanks a lot @jade abyss I'll make some tests

ebon citrus Jan 17, 2020, 2:15 PM

#

you can also attach some usertexture frames with transparent textures moving slower than the "tube" and be closer to the player camera to give a perception of depth

nothing against bohemia, love em'

but vectors jsut make sense

#

although a bit... hard to udnerstand at first because you skipped maths in high-school

smoky verge Jan 17, 2020, 2:29 PM

#

so if I understood correctly linearConversion should go in the _interval parameter of setVelocityTransformation

jade abyss Jan 17, 2020, 2:29 PM

Yes

finite sail Jan 17, 2020, 2:29 PM

finite sail Jan 17, 2020, 3:50 PM

setvelocitytransformation, as i understand it, is good for smoothly moving an object from one position to another while handling the roll, pitch and yaw in one go

#

just like th biki example, an aircraft going nose up at speed

#

the object that is being moved, what is it?

i think he is talking about getting the unit lazing the lkazertarget

thing is , one of the parameters for lazertarget is the unit that you want to get the target for

so you need to figure out the unit you want to get the target of and work from there

jade abyss Jan 17, 2020, 8:51 PM

There seem to be IDs internaly, but nothing we as users can get.

not even setVaraible works ?

jade abyss Jan 17, 2020, 8:51 PM

#

Or just store the unit that has it in missionNameSpace and request it from there (of course, when it picks it up, store it in there)

ebon citrus Jan 17, 2020, 8:51 PM

#

so basically, you need to track yourself which unit has the designator somehow and work from there

not even setVaraible works ?
No, doesn't.

as long as it eventually returns a boolean, can you make nested if conditions inside the lazy evaluated code block?

Yes

So it looks like even if you createGroup with the deleteWhenEmpty boolean set to false, arma will still eventually delete the group when it's empty.

So, i just recently started making a real arma mission in the editor and the scripting of waypoints is a little... daunting. I had a get in waypoint working a few nights ago but it's not working anymore.

I'm literally just copy/pasting code from the wiki documentation for waypoint scripting. I'm trying to get transports loaded and moved, and unloaded with soldiers/ pilots.

ebon citrus Jan 17, 2020, 9:49 PM

doesnt Eden have waypoint functions for that?

ebon citrus Jan 17, 2020, 9:55 PM

just make some plot-point to give your units NVG's once the device is destroyed

#

or make a fake-nvg's and replace them with rela ones

#

like NVG's that take up the nvg-slot but are not actually nvg's

and call them like...

"NVG's (broken)"

or something

Does anyone know if a script exists that can save/export a camera's exact position and rotation? I want to take comparison screenshots between two versions of a terrain and the only way I have been able to ensure the images are aligned and oriented in the exact same way is to simply save a mission in the 3den editor, and load it again with the changes. With two terrains loaded, I can simply do this, remain the mission folder to use the other terrain, and load the mission again.

But, that is inefficient and in my case, won't work, since i would need to unload addons and restart the game entirely, which is far too slow. I also plan to take a significant number of screenshots to compare.

My idea for a solution would be to have an action or key that would "record" the current camera position, rotation, fov, and everything else relevant, and export it. That way, I can simply have a script that loads this data, so when I restart the game, I can take the new screenshots in sequence and have them be properly aligned.

I can't seem to find a good way to do this. There are commands to get the eden camera, but none to get the rotation.

ebon citrus Jan 17, 2020, 11:38 PM

good luck

here

load into the world

#

make sure you have debug menu enabled for yourself or atleast the camera

#

open up the camera

#

hit "ctrl+c"

#

then paste it somewhere

#

hitting "ctrl+v" when you have that stuff copied immediately sets your camera to the exact point

#

@runic surge ^

#

or hit ctrl+ any number ROW key

#

and hitting that number row key again returns your camera there

#

2 ways!

#

and not at all related with scripting

runic surge Jan 18, 2020, 12:05 AM

#

That seems to work almost perfectly

I didn't realize that actually saves the rotation now

Maybe it always did and I'm just a moron lol

if you want to run it on the local client IMMEDIATELY as a player joins, use this in your initPlayerLocal.sqf:

    (!isNull player && time > 0)

do what? run your code as the player logs in?

#

say something smart Dscha, im feeling a bit tipsy

jade abyss Jan 18, 2020, 8:22 PM

In your mission folder, simply create a file named: initPlayerLocal.sqf
Add the code from above in it -> It runs, during the players initialization.

ebon citrus Jan 18, 2020, 8:22 PM

#

i run my spawning in GUI stuff with that script

#

i'm also not sure if it's valid to execute playmove, playmovenow or switchmove on a remote client

#

if that makes sense

#

so you might need to do it in initPlayerServer.sqf

#

the script i provided above DOES NOT work server-side, though

#

so just... see if it works

#

might get some weird results, like animations playing only on the client it is executed on when run locally, though

light moat Jan 18, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

wilco

#

Ill let you all know if it works

jade abyss Jan 18, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

So your initPlayerLocal.sqf should look like this:

params ["_player", "_didJIP"];
_player switchMove "Acts_UnconsciousStandUp_part1";
playSound "b_in_intro";

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/switchMove
Applies given animation to a unit. When used on a person, the given move is started immediately (there is no transition). Use _unit switchMove ""; to reset animation. For a smooth transition use playMove.

switchMove

ebon citrus Jan 18, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

i recommend personally https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/playMoveNow

#

@jade abyss im pretty sure the _player variables is redundant in this case

#

initPlayerLocal is always local

#

so "player" should be just as good

#

let me know if im wrong

jade abyss Jan 18, 2020, 8:27 PM

#

doesn't matter, it's a param given over from the file itself

#

yeah i guess, as long as you have memory and clock as the sheep eat

remember ```
waitUntil {

Can't check atm myself.

light moat Jan 18, 2020, 8:36 PM

#

Ah im dumb

#

I didnt make it a not TXT file

jade abyss Jan 18, 2020, 8:37 PM

#

if you set it a texture and shoot it... the game crashes
@ebon citrus chcked the feedback-tracker?

light moat Jan 18, 2020, 8:40 PM

#

ok i made it an SQF

#

but i didnt see the animation

#

same error

ebon citrus Jan 18, 2020, 8:40 PM

#

it's throwing errors?

#

nice

#

let me see

jade abyss Jan 18, 2020, 8:40 PM

#

@light moat To be sure it's beeing loaded:
Add systemchat "i was loaded"; to the beginning of the file

ebon citrus Jan 18, 2020, 8:40 PM

#

wait...

#

how did it play the music if it was .txt?

light moat Jan 18, 2020, 8:41 PM

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

Ok yeah its loaded

#

but its not working

#

@jade abyss i hear the sound still

ebon citrus Jan 18, 2020, 8:48 PM

#

i mean, you've tried everything surely already

light moat Jan 18, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

Its gotta work though

#

I have tried it on SP

#

it work

#

MP no work

#

but ive seen it been used

#

in like Maxor videos

ebon citrus Jan 18, 2020, 8:50 PM

#

one of 2 things

#

start with trubleshooting

#

can you execute it manually in the debug console on "execute local"?

#

does it work?

light moat Jan 18, 2020, 8:51 PM

#

the code in the sqf?

#

hmm

#

lemme try

ebon citrus Jan 18, 2020, 8:51 PM

#

on the server

#

but execute it locally

#

make sure to enable the debug console in description.txt

#

makes debugging a hela lot easier

light moat Jan 18, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

Ok

#

progress

ebon citrus Jan 18, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

if it is working, then maybe... jsut maybe , give a shot to trying to delay executing after the player is loaded with the script i provided

light moat Jan 18, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

it doesnt work on the local exec

#

the anim

ebon citrus Jan 18, 2020, 8:53 PM

#

alright, great

#

so i was onto something earlier

#

https://discordapp.com/channels/105462288051380224/105462984087728128/668189044496269313

#

abouts here

#

you might need to run the script in initPlayerServer.sqf instead

#

same script should work, but do the playmusic locally

light moat Jan 18, 2020, 8:54 PM

#

kk

#

should i try the exec now?

ebon citrus Jan 18, 2020, 8:54 PM

#

so

#

initPlayerLocal.sqf

params ["_player", "_didJIP"];
playSound "b_in_intro";

and initPlayerServer.sqf:

params ["_player", "_didJIP"];
_player switchMove "Acts_UnconsciousStandUp_part1";```

light moat Jan 18, 2020, 8:55 PM

#

have 2 of those things

#

in muh mission?

ebon citrus Jan 18, 2020, 8:55 PM

#

and instead of playSound you could use playMusic

#

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

#

then just merge

light moat Jan 18, 2020, 8:56 PM

#

Ok so i have two notepads on

#

initplayerserver and initplayerlocal

ebon citrus Jan 18, 2020, 8:56 PM

#

ok?

light moat Jan 18, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

now i just drop those 2 codes in the corresponding things

#

?

ebon citrus Jan 18, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

yeah, that would make sense

#

just a question

light moat Jan 18, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

yes

ebon citrus Jan 18, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

are you working on some already existing script or is this a clean slate?

light moat Jan 18, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

clean slate

ebon citrus Jan 18, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

@ebon citrus now heres a fun thing to try

#

can i have it target specific player slots

#

lets say

#

i am zeus

#

i dont want that animation

ebon citrus Jan 18, 2020, 9:16 PM

#

yeah

light moat Jan 18, 2020, 9:16 PM

#

but i want it for my players

#

ooh

ebon citrus Jan 18, 2020, 9:16 PM

#

give that slot a varibale name

#

and make sure that the script is not executed on a player if they are that variable name

light moat Jan 18, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

can i make it like officer1,officer2,etc

ebon citrus Jan 18, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

whatever you want

#

try not to use taken names though

#

like "player"

light moat Jan 18, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

where would i put those variable names

#

in the sqf

ebon citrus Jan 18, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

do you use Eden?

light moat Jan 18, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

i do

#

I know where to put em

ebon citrus Jan 18, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

in the "name" field

light moat Jan 18, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

on the character

#

but like

#

where in the code

#

at the _player part

ebon citrus Jan 18, 2020, 9:18 PM

#

just make an if condition

#

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

light moat Jan 18, 2020, 9:18 PM

#

so like

#

if (officer1) then;

ebon citrus Jan 18, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

question, if you may?

light moat Jan 18, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

yep

ebon citrus Jan 18, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

does sqf happen to be your first programming language?

#

well, "script" language

light moat Jan 18, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

yeppo

ebon citrus Jan 18, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

oh boy, ok

light moat Jan 18, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

yeah

#

am neanderthal

ebon citrus Jan 18, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

we can take this to DMs?

#

because im not going to lie, im going to be a bit rude, but i assure you we will get this done

#

one way or the other

light moat Jan 18, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

well

#

hmm

#

i was just thinking

ebon citrus Jan 18, 2020, 9:21 PM

#

or i can point you to a bunch of biki links like a platonic butthole

light moat Jan 18, 2020, 9:21 PM

#

this would happen as each player loaded in

#

i could simply load before hand now?

#

and then as the players load in

#

they too, will enter the same anim

ebon citrus Jan 18, 2020, 9:21 PM

#

youre already doing that

#

you jsut dont want the player slot to get done in

#

so do you just want the work done for you or do you want me to teach you?

#

no offense, just be clear with me here

light moat Jan 18, 2020, 9:22 PM

#

it would be more valuable to be taught

#

however

#

time is an asset i dont have

ebon citrus Jan 18, 2020, 9:22 PM

#

i have ABSOLUTELY no issue with writing a bit of code

#

lairhg,t hold ona second

light moat Jan 18, 2020, 9:22 PM

#

ok

ebon citrus Jan 18, 2020, 9:22 PM

#

can you DM me your initPlayerServer.sqf?

player addEventHandler ["Fired", {[player, "Laserdesignator_03"] execVM "itsAebian\KI_OrbitalStrike.sqf"}];``` seems fine for me, however the script doesn't get fired when I lase a target with a laserdesignator, I thought this counts as fired, tried with ``FiredMan`` also

dreamy kestrel Jan 18, 2020, 10:37 PM

#

Q: do you need to detach objects before re-attaching them, i.e. to a different location on the hosting object?

ebon citrus Jan 18, 2020, 10:42 PM

#

@dreamy kestrel A: no

#

but remember, when you do, the vector changes to default

cunning crown Jan 18, 2020, 11:14 PM

#

I guess that every one that has _display or _displayorcontrol can be used on display https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/User_Interface_Event_Handlers

dreamy kestrel Jan 19, 2020, 12:50 AM

#

@ebon citrus thanks, so to avoid funny or bouncing animations I might disable the simulation on the attaching object?

ebon citrus Jan 19, 2020, 12:53 AM

#

@dreamy kestrel unless the attached object is ragdolled, there shouldn't be any issue. I have not noticed any, atleast.

jade abyss Jan 19, 2020, 1:44 AM

#

@austere granite Did you create a new display and suddenly they don't work?

austere granite Jan 19, 2020, 1:48 AM

its in buldozer, seems like it doesn't want to work for that 😦

#

keydown works fine, but mousedown or whatever its called does not

jade abyss Jan 19, 2020, 1:50 AM

#

Ah, Buly :/

#

related to that thingy you showed me?

forest ore Jan 19, 2020, 8:04 AM

#

Any pointers why ```sqf
addMissionEventHandler ["EntityKilled",{
params ["_killed","_killer","_instigator"];

_vehicles = [veh1,veh2,veh3,veh4];

if !(_killed in _vehicles) exitWith {};

[_killed] spawn {
params ["_killed"];
_var = vehicleVarName _killed;
_type = typeOf _killed;

sleep 10;
deleteVehicle _killed;

_newVeh = _type createVehicle [0,-40,0];
_newVeh setVehicleVarName _var;
missionNamespace setVariable [_var,_newVeh,true];

waitUntil {isNull _killed};

if (_var == veh1 || _var == veh2) then {_var call TEST_fnc_respawnFnc1};
if (_var == veh3 || _var == veh4) then {_var call TEST_fnc_respawnFnc2};
};

}];

errors with ```if (_var |#|== veh1 || _var == veh2) then >
10:01:08   Error position: <== veh1 || _var == veh2) then >
10:01:08   Error Generic error in expression``` ?
(Trying to achieve vehicle respawn functionality with sleep with this 👆🏼 )

ruby breach Jan 19, 2020, 9:05 AM

#

Because _var is a string and I presume that veh1 - veh4 are objects. == requires comparisons to be of the same type.

forest ore Jan 19, 2020, 9:11 AM

#

Thanks Gnashes. Got that problem solved just a tad earlier by referencing to _newVehicle instead of _var so as far as I understand anything of that the issue was exactly what you pointed out it to be

Anyone know if there is docs for https://github.com/overfl0/yapbol . Trying to use python with PBOs and trial and error is getting tedious

austere granite Jan 19, 2020, 4:51 PM

#

@final vessel

final vessel Jan 19, 2020, 4:53 PM

#

There are no docs @surreal peak :)
You can take a look at the tests in https://github.com/overfl0/yapbol/blob/master/test/yapbol_test.py if they are of any help to you

#

But as stated, the library is in alpha state for now. Some things are less optimized than they could be, etc..

#

I never had the time to improve the library besides what i needed, myself, at the time of the writiing 😦

surreal peak Jan 19, 2020, 4:54 PM

#

thanks, its been a while since ive used python so im coming back to it, seems like im doing some more reading then 😄

#

thats fine, I should figure it out

#

thanks for help!

tough abyss Jan 19, 2020, 4:59 PM

#

is there any version of addWeaponWithAttachmentsCargo that works for players?
I'm trying to add a primaryWeapon in a players primaryWeapon slot with a specific mag (and ammo) as well as attachments.

#

Hey

#

Is this a coincidence

#

🤔

exotic flax Jan 19, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

@tough abyss addWeaponItem is most likely what you're looking for

tough abyss Jan 19, 2020, 5:03 PM

#

there's not a version which can add attachments main and secondary muzzle mags with ammo etc etc

#

addWeaponWithAttachmentsCargo is so easy to combine with weaponsItemsCargo

exotic flax Jan 19, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

player addWeaponItem ["arifle_MX_GL_ACO_F", ["1Rnd_HE_Grenade_shell", 1, "GL_3GL_F"]];

This is actually putting a HE shell in the 3GL launcher on the MX-GL

tough abyss Jan 19, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

you get an exact copy without having to write anything yourself at all
IE: ```sqf
_unit addWeaponWithAttachmentsCargo [weaponsItemsCargo _weaponHolder select 0, 1];

final vessel Jan 19, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

@surreal peak basically, from what I remember, you just fetch the file from the PBO using the methods available in the test file, linked above, and then when you have the file_entry, you can access the file contents with file_entry.data

tough abyss Jan 19, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

the addWeaponItem doesn't support multiple magazines or attachments. You'd have to do some type of loop and link them I guess

surreal peak Jan 19, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

ahhhhh

#

thanks!!!!

still forum Jan 19, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

@tough abyss yes you have to use addWeaponItem and loop it somehow.

tough abyss Jan 19, 2020, 5:11 PM

#

would've been a lot cooler if there was a non cargo version lol
thanks

surreal peak Jan 19, 2020, 6:30 PM

Testing out: a trigger is created by pressing Server Exec in dedicated server with the following input

dmgTrigger = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", getMarkerPos "Marker_1", TRUE]; 
dmgTrigger setTriggerArea [1000, 1000, 0, TRUE]; 
dmgTrigger setTriggerActivation ["ANYPLAYER", "PRESENT", TRUE];  
dmgTrigger setTriggerStatements [  
 "this",  
 "_x = _this select 0; _x setDamage 1;",   
 ""];

but the OnActivation is not killing the player (me that is). I thought _x would be the magic variable for everything but apparently it isn't.. so what gives?

winter rose Jan 19, 2020, 8:49 PM

Does anyone know how to call up textures / data from a mod in Eden editor? Like the file path for them? I'm trying to use the object specific Texture #0 on the "Banner" object to retexture it to a texture I put in my custom mod, is this possible or can you only use game / mission textures?
Basically I just want to cut down on the size of the mission file by including textures in mod rather than in mission

winter rose Jan 19, 2020, 10:44 PM

#

you totally can call mod textures yep

#

as for the path I am not sure so I let other people answer about it

tiny wadi Jan 19, 2020, 11:42 PM

#

The path for the mod would be the path in the pbo structure @tough abyss

#

So if your pbo is test.pbo

#

/test/mypath/texture.paa

tough abyss Jan 19, 2020, 11:42 PM

#

Would /test/ be A3 or ?

#

Like where would it start since it's clearly dependent on the user

#

Or

#

Oh

#

Test is the PBO name

tiny wadi Jan 19, 2020, 11:43 PM

#

yes

tough abyss Jan 19, 2020, 11:43 PM

#

But it would start at test and not anywhere else?

tiny wadi Jan 19, 2020, 11:44 PM

#

/[your pbo name minus .pbo/[path to texture]/[texture].paa

tough abyss Jan 19, 2020, 11:44 PM

#

Gotcha, I'll try that rn

tiny wadi Jan 19, 2020, 11:45 PM

#

You can do absolute file paths aswell

#

C:\mypath\texture.paa

#

That wouldn't work nicely though if you plan on distributing it to multiple people

young current Jan 20, 2020, 12:31 AM

#

pls dont even suggest that

#

thats how people learn to do mods the wrong way

#

@tough abyss to build proper addon you will need to setup the mod development tools and development environment correctly.

#

PMC wiki has steps to set up arma 3 tools and P drive

#

follow those to the letter

forest ore Jan 20, 2020, 3:23 PM

@winter rose Yesterday at 10:49 PM
"(thislist select 0) setDamage 1"

Oh so that's how it was supposed to go this time around. Finally got to test it also so here to confirm that it works (of course, how else). Thank you Lou 🙂

forest ore Jan 20, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

Well, now what is wrong with this then. I used to have editor placed triggers but had to switch to scripted version for reasons. In the editor placed trigger's Condition field I used (thislist findIf {side _x==east || side _x == resistance} == -1) with no hiccups. With the editor placed trigger as activation I used ANY. Now with the scripted version that same condition does not seem to work anymore:

hideyMrkr = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", position civVeh_1, TRUE];
hideyMrkr attachTo [civVeh_1, [0, 0, 0]];
hideyMrkr setTriggerArea [1000, 1000, 0, TRUE]; 
hideyMrkr setTriggerActivation ["ANY", "PRESENT", TRUE];  
hideyMrkr setTriggerStatements [
"(thislist findIf {side _x==east || side _x == resistance} == -1)",
"['vehMarker_1', 0] remoteExecCall ['setMarkerAlphaLocal',-2];",
"['vehMarker_1', 1] remoteExecCall ['setMarkerAlphaLocal',-2];"];

#

sorry, nothing jumps out at me

forest ore Jan 20, 2020, 5:11 PM

#

FYI if I use EAST or INDEPENDENT as activation and have this in the sripted trigger's Condition field then the scripted trigger works (as in the "vehMarker_1" changes it's Alpha as expected)

forest ore Jan 20, 2020, 6:04 PM

#

Ahh, for the functionality I was looking to achieve one way that I found working was to turn the Condition "around" with !(thislist findIf {side _x==east || side _x == resistance} == -1)

winter rose Jan 20, 2020, 7:10 PM

#

you could enhance readability with sqf side _x in [east, resistance] @forest ore 😉

That I will most certainly check out Lou! 🤝

Can someone tell me why the blacklist isnt working ? 😄

what's your error

#

Not sure I like this construction _magazineClassNames = _magazineClassNames - [ -1 ];

@sharp grotto be sure to enable -showScriptErrors in the launcher, to see script errors when (and where!) they happen.

When a vehicle gets deleted, the dead units inside cannot be deleted but they still are not null objects and they appear in allDeadMen

#

anyone know a fix?

worn forge Jan 20, 2020, 8:36 PM

#

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

#

Do it before you delete the vehicle, though

tough abyss Jan 20, 2020, 8:38 PM

#

i don't delete the vehicles, they delete themselves after they explode an such

#

otherwise is there a way to check if the unit is just not visible but not null?

#

cause isObjectHidden returns false

worn forge Jan 20, 2020, 8:40 PM

#

Are you just using vanilla garbage collection?

tough abyss Jan 20, 2020, 8:41 PM

#

its not really for any particular mission

#

so I would need vanilla garbage collection to work

#

it has to just be some kind of arma 3 bug

worn forge Jan 20, 2020, 8:42 PM

#

Yes

tough abyss Jan 20, 2020, 8:44 PM

that is super annoying

i created a ticket https://feedback.bistudio.com/T148420

hopefully they fix it but who knows with bohemia

I've been hunting down a strange behavior with a script and think I got it to a point where its reproducible. I have a script firing from init_server which redresses on a case basis, most units. It works properly if I log in and get mission running before the headless clients connect. If HCs connect at startup/before players init, the script doesnt fire properly.

#

Does this behavior sound familiar to anyone?

astral dawn Jan 20, 2020, 9:38 PM

#

@grave lotus sounds like ownership of units is messed up, or synchronization of initialization with HCs is broken

#

@echo yew I guess you can do it client side, check player's name, then endMission for him with explanation that his name has wrong characters

#

why, did someone wipe your database? 😄

high marsh Jan 20, 2020, 9:39 PM

#

serverCommand too.

#

I would just prompt for password

astral dawn Jan 20, 2020, 9:39 PM

#

serverCOmmand needs password to be passed to it

high marsh Jan 20, 2020, 9:40 PM

#

Instead of pbo containing scripts with password, just prompt whomever is logged as admin at the tine.

#

Might get annoying after a while, so if some client preference has this disabled, then instead just endMission them yes

#

Method given isnt rcon

astral dawn Jan 20, 2020, 9:44 PM

#

you asked in scripting so we assumed SQF

high marsh Jan 20, 2020, 9:44 PM

#

all SQF

grave lotus Jan 20, 2020, 9:44 PM

#

@astral dawn that sounds about right. i could cause the state by connecting the HCs. works fine before/without. Is there a best practice here for syncing HCs? I have a routine running in init which scoops up aispawned units in zeus. Could I perhaps use that to execute my redress and have that propigate to the HCs?

astral dawn Jan 20, 2020, 9:45 PM

#

can you show me how units are redressed? I believe that it must be called locally on the computer which owns the unit, right?

grave lotus Jan 20, 2020, 9:47 PM

#

@astral dawn I have init_server firing [] execVM "GF_Set_Custom_Loadout\Vanilla\GF_SCL_allUnits_REWORK.sqf";

astral dawn Jan 20, 2020, 9:49 PM

#

well, must see what's inside that script of course

grave lotus Jan 20, 2020, 9:51 PM

#

thats it, pared down. the important part I think is the flag set for units which have been added to the Var_GF_SCL_allUnits variable in relation to the HCs

#

i an replace it with a simple case test if that helps. 🙂 Put santa hats on em or something

@grave lotus commands like removeWeapon and such require unit to be local, are you sure that he is local?

grave lotus Jan 20, 2020, 10:17 PM

#

thats likely IT! They arent

#

what is the global equivalent for weapon?

#

removeWeapon ratjer

#

rather

nocturne bluff Jan 20, 2020, 10:40 PM

#

There is none, use remoteExec to pass it to the unit owner.

grave lotus Jan 20, 2020, 10:51 PM

#

so I remoteExec the script rather than exec?

astral dawn Jan 20, 2020, 11:18 PM

#

yep!

#

whole script

#

better remoteExecCall

#

oh, and GF_SCL_allUnits_REWORK.sqf must be made a function, preferably

tough abyss Jan 20, 2020, 11:25 PM

#

unless I am doing something wrong removeMissionEventHandler does not seem to be working

#

I have it assigned to a handler variable such as handler = addMissionEventHandler ["EachFrame", {}];
I am removing it with removeMissionEventHandler ["EachFrame", handler]; but every time I add the event handler again it increments the ID as if the previous one was never removed

astral dawn Jan 20, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

I think it should increase the ID

#

so that it's always unique

tough abyss Jan 20, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

the wiki specifically states "When any handler is removed, all handler indices higher that the deleted one should be decremented." https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/removeMissionEventHandler

#

and when i use removeAllMissionEventHandlers "EachFrame"; it resets the ID back to 0

astral dawn Jan 20, 2020, 11:29 PM

#

then the guy at bottom of page says:

#

As of Arma 3 version 1.38 you can safely remove mission event handlers without worrying about decrementing higher indices.
