So I got 2 things I cant figure out.
-
making a darter invisible
I used
this setObjectTexture [0, "#(rgb,0,0,0)color(0,0,0,0)"];
and it hides everything apart from the rings that protect the motors.
Same for teh ED1 it doesnt hide the tracks.
Hide object disables it so it doesnt work for me. -
can I use the attach to command to attach something to the ED1D pelters gun arm instead of the drone itself?
worn forge
this hideObjectGlobal true- it's not perfect, but you can modify the exact placement of the attachment in two ways: either a manual XYZ offset:
thing attachTo [ED1D, [-0.8, 1.2346, 0.34732]]or with a defined memory pointthing attachTo [ED1D, [0,0,0], "peltersGunArmNamedMemoryPointThingy"]
spark kiln
- unfortunately doesnt work.
Could you explain two ? is there a namebd object for pelters gunarm?
winter rose
@spark kiln try with other indexes
this setObjectTexture [0, "#(rgb,0,0,0)color(0,0,0,0)"];
this setObjectTexture [1, "#(rgb,0,0,0)color(0,0,0,0)"];
this setObjectTexture [2, "#(rgb,0,0,0)color(0,0,0,0)"];
// or
{ this setObjectTexture [_x, "#(rgb,0,0,0)color(0,0,0,0)"]; } forEach [0,1,2];
```if it fails, you can't without a modFor setting the darter invisible, where are you running the code? If you're running it from the init box, it's far easier to just change the attributes in Eden and uncheck the box that says "Show Object" in the "Special states" section.

ooooooooh.
Only thing I can think of would be to create the vehicle locally on the server, and playSound3d of the rotors, attach to the local darter's location...?

Hello. Just wondering if anybody knows a script that recognizes the outfit a player is currently wearing and automatically switches it's texture. Like: if player has "U_B_CombatUniform_mcam" then player settextureglobal player setObjectTextureGlobal [0, "\a3\characters_f\BLUFOR\Data\clothing_wdl_co.paa"];" but on a constant loop.
exotic flax
why in a loop?
twin steppe
So when he takes it off it automatically turns into the camo when he puts it back on
exotic flax
would make more sense to put it on event handlers like InventoryClosed
twin steppe
Will that work if there are several equipments involved?
exotic flax
because checking every frame or second (or any time) will just kill the client/server
twin steppe
haha yeah I don't wanna do that
Yeah it's just there are so many different cool camouflages but I don't know how to permanently set something to that camo without causing a big frame drop. You said something about inventory close?
I checked what Lou posted: player addEventHandler ["Take", { (getObjectTextures player + [uniformContainer player getVariable "texture"]) params ["_texUniform", "_texInsignia", "_texCustom"]; if (isNil "_texCustom") exitWith {}; if (_texUniform == _texCustom) exitWith {}; player setObjectTextureGlobal [0, _texCustom]; false }]; I'll try it out.
exotic flax
there are different event handlers which COULD work...
Take will work best for inventory items, since it triggers the moment someone picks it up.
Put works when someone drops an item.
InventoryClosed (or Openened) is best for triggering when using "I" or a crate/vehicle
twin steppe
Thanks @exotic flax I'll check em out. Is there any function that immediately executes a script once it notices a specific vehicle? Thinking of doing the same camo idea but for vehicles instead. Automatically turn them into a texture when they are spawned in.
exotic flax
I wanted to say Init, although vanilla EH only works through configs (since you can't add a script to an object which doesn't exist).
If you include CBA XEH, you could use an init event handlers on vehicles.
twin steppe
Alright. Thanks a lot for the information Grezvany.

but its not that the object does not exists, its that his variable is undefined

Of course, the same. Without any mods. Both common and dev versions. Also, while modding, I've noticed that differnt versions have different behaviour. I.e., english and german versions can't handle this command (most of players reported about it): https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setTriggerInterval - it just throw an error. In russian it works fine.
I wonder - if it is still unknown, maybe there'is another difference in versions?

viral basin
i tried it but it didn't work :/
exotic flax
I believe the main issue is that using configs requires a fully named weapon class (with attachments?), while getUnitLoadout/setUnitLoadout have the attachments separated.
To add attachments to a unit you need an entry in CfgWeapons for it to work, eg.
class CfgWeapons {
class rhs_weap_m4a1;
class TAG_rhs_weap_m4a1_acog: rhs_weap_m4a1 {
class LinkedItems {
class LinkedItemsAcc {
slot = "PointerSlot";
item = "rhsusf_acc_anpeq16a";
};
class LinkedItemsOptic {
slot = "CowsSlot";
item = "rhsusf_acc_ACOG_RMR";
};
};
};
};
otherwise the attachments will simply be added to your inventory and NOT the weapon
viral basin
oh okay, well maybe i stay with sqf switch cases then. the getUnitLoadout array just works fine π

Why does case require a colon afterwards but not default? I hate switches

Because case is an unary command, preparing the following value for the actual colon

hi, im trying to get into arma scripting (rpg in particular). i download the framework from altisliferpg.com and i've seen that databases are used for almost everything. should i learn how to use them before start scripting? also, do i need to run a server via steamcmd and all that stuff before testing my scripts or i can just go to -> multiplayer -> server browser -> host server -> <<new 3d editor>> and put my scripts into mpmissions? any tip to get started?
cunning crown
Before trying any framework you should probably learn the basics of vanilla scripting.
or i can just go to -> multiplayer -> server browser -> host server -> <<new 3d editor>> and put my scripts into mpmissions?
You can do that too, you can even go in the editor, make you script here and launch the server from the editor
still forum
you can run your scripts everywhere where you've written them to work for.
If the script is written such that it can only run on a dedicated server, then you obv can't test it locally. I don't know why anyone would do that though.
But considering they are your scripts, you should already know where they run

Alright gents, I need a little help correcting an error in whatever im doing wrong.
So, the first video of me flying, is what i'm trying to achieve from an AI pilot. The second video at 0:41 was me trying to have AI do it. I set a "Move" waypoint behind the drop zone. Right about where i turned the aircraft while I was flying. I then had an invisible helipad on top of the DZ with a "Transport unload" marker attached. This mod doesnt have a proper transport function so i gad to go into the init and set an attachto script. On transport unload, i had detach on the init although the pilot would prematurely drop the transport then go in for it.
In the third video at 1:30, i set limitspeed on the first move waypoint, exchanged "Transport unload" with another move waypoint with limitspeed 0. Then on top of that was a third move waypoint with detach. Played scenario and as you can see, the pilot dropped transport early again but didnt move this time. There is a 4th move3 waypoint out of map for the aircraft to move to.
What am I doing wrong? How do i get the pilot to drop the vehicle right where i want it? https://youtu.be/4cB_1EEu8LY

Hello there, i'm currently having a problem with a Diary:
I have added the line in the Init.sqf, i have also added the "Briefing.sqf" file and called it from init (i wan't it to be shown since the start of the mission)
Yet, when i test the mission, it won't be shown, here's my code:
@tough abyss Had this problem today, seems that when they use different kind of seats or there's too many in the vehicle, the leader will constantly issue the 'Disembark' order, hence, forcing the vehicle to stop and drop units.
Try to play from the Squad leader slot, you won't have the issue, i had to disable AI (MP Mission) and delete the AI altogether for it to work in SP
tough abyss
@golden storm Why would the leader try to disembark if he still has waypoints to hit? And shouldn't disembark be separate from dropping the vehicle since I have the vehicle scripted (attachto /detach) to the aircraft?
Arma 3 is so weird lmfao
golden storm
Try to add a new Waypoint for the Squad leader at the LZ to "Get Out", that might help him
tough abyss
i'll give it a try. Is there a way to force the landing gear up? When detaching the tank with the landing gear down, the tank will hit the landing gear and both vehicles will explode

Yes, search for the action in the Config Viewer of the Heli, there you'll find all the posible actions to set it up the way you want
Right Click the Helo -> View in Config Viewer -> Actions -> Landing Gear

When I try to read the variable, it has value <NULL> in debug line in RPT
The script above is execVM'd when player joins the game, and the local variables are used elsewhere in the script where they work normally, so I think the error can't be caused by the local variables

So I was told something like this was required for arma 2 DB stuff.
private _positionasl = getPosASL _object;
private _position = getPosATL _object;
private _positionType = 1;
if ((_positionasl select 2) < (_position select 2)) then {
_position = _positionasl;
_positionType = 0;
};```
Does anyone know if "problem" still exists, or can I just use ATL only?
(This is position that gets saved to DB)
(And yes, http://killzonekid.com/arma-scripting-tutorials-float-to-string-position-to-string/ is going to be used)@cosmic lichen You seem to know a lot about scripting so do you know a way to disable any fast travel to a warlords sector when it is contested, sort of like with BLUFOR Base and OPFOR Base which neither the attackers nor the defenders can fast travel to once it gets targeted?
cosmic lichen
No clue actually π Might be possible if you dig through the warlords code, but that's probably a lot of work.
vague geode
@cosmic lichen Ok, thanks.
tough abyss
@vague geode in the warlords init module I think
I haven't looked at the mission file on my wl server inawhile so i might be wrong (lazy ik) but this is more of a #warlords_discussion topic
vague geode
@tough abyss I only know that you can disable all fast travel in the warlords init module but I only want to disable all fast travel to contested sectors but for the others fast travel should work like usual...
tough abyss
Look again im pretty sure you can disable to contested sectors independantly of seized
On one of my maps i have it disabled and no one can fast travel to contested but to seized they can
@vague geode
vague geode
@tough abyss There's only an option to prevent the attackers from fast traveling to a contested sector but I would like to disable it for the defenders as well so that they can't fast travel into a seized sector while it is targeted by the enemy...
tough abyss
Ohh i see what your saying thats a bit difficult
vague geode
@tough abyss What is currently happening and what I would like to prevent is that when you kill a defending player he/she will just reappear in the same sector 30 sec. later and will spawn on the groud which gives you no window of opportunity to attack him/her or prevent him/her from getting into the sector and hide there.
tough abyss
I see what you mean, that is difficult to script(impossible at least for me) IMO your best off looking at the warlords files and taking inspiration from there to achieve what you want to do with a script
vernal venture
Anyone know an easy way to automate changing a group from careless to aware after they take fire?
winter rose
make them "SAFE" instead, and ```sqf
waitUntil { sleep 1 ; behaviour _theGroup != "SAFE" };
_theGroup setBehaviour "AWARE";
Well, if they're on Safe, they'll switch out to combat automatically anyway when it starts.
The problem is a somewhat scripted event, I'm looking to keep them passive even when they see enemies, until they take fire.
winter rose
use maybe a "FiredNear" EH, but it only triggers as far as ~50m iirc
vernal venture
Hmm. DisableAI has an "autotarget" option. I wonder if that could be worked into what you suggested.
winter rose
you can't really know when there are bullets flying around them ("shot at" being very wide definition)
you could add a "Fired" EH to the attackers, for example
vernal venture
Yeah, that might be a better way to do it, from the other end.

Is it possible to create a visible area like a trigger or module in the 3den editor (https://i.imgur.com/tyfdjE7.jpg ) through scripting?

grim coyote
Ive tried now almost everything
young current
@lean furnace cant scale objects
@grim coyote I dont understand what you are oing there
why do you need the offset?
grim coyote
Do save it to DB
grim coyote
:/
I need to read the value from the object, then i need to save the value to DB. On restore I need to read the value FROM db, and then apply it
But I guess the only way for now is to create its own function and save it as a variable
young current
you could save the attachTo offset value to it when you use the attachTo command
grim coyote
yeah but the idea is that the server admins dont have to do that for their own system
young current
if you get A modeltoworld (getposWorldVisual B) what does that give you
or using the other modelToWorld commands

i'm trying to have an ai shoot the vorona missile launcher at a vehicle... but he always overshoots it. anyone has any ideas for how i can fix this?
i've set the ai to watch and to target the vehicle
he looks into the general direction, but he's not pointing the launcher directly at the vehicle, thus the missile will miss
cosmic lichen
@west grove BIS_fnc_EXP_camp_guidedProjectile π
west grove
problem is the player can see the ai shoot
so i can't just spawn a missile out of the air
cosmic lichen
I think this will worked fine with an fired EH
Delete the old missile and spawn the new one at muzzle position
That's how it's done in APEX campaign
west grove
meh. i still remember a time where all this fuzz wasn't necessary
cosmic lichen
It might be possible without, but it's certainly not reliable, otherwise they would have done it without function.
It would indeed be nice if you could just give the AI a target and they'd not behave like idiots
west grove
as far as i can tell, the issue is the same i have in my old mission - for some reason dotarget / dowatch doesn't work reliable anymore if the object is > x away
they will not point their guns at the target anymore, only in its direction. really makes me wonder what caused the change
cosmic lichen
Did you use reveal command?
west grove
yes, but it won't change a thing
cosmic lichen
and if you use a position instead of an object?
west grove
old thread now :p
spawning the red dot works for missiles that can track em, at least
sadly it doesnt work with the vorona
guess i will just spawn the missile. i've already spend more time on this than i originally wanted

vagrant urchin
Hello, we're trying to make multiplayer units get insignia programmatically by their UID.
We have an array of UIDs and then we check if the player UID is in the array.
_usPlayers = ["21312321312313"];
if((getPlayerUID player) in _usPlayers) then
{
[player, ""] call BIS_fnc_setUnitInsignia;
[player, "us"] call BIS_fnc_setUnitInsignia;
};
We first unassign and only then reassign the insignias because there's something weird with insignias where you can't assign the same insignia if it was already already assigned.
We run this code in onPlayerRespawn.sqf.
It works when first joining the server, however when respawning players can only see their own insignias.
If a player goes back to the lobby and reloads the mission, he'll see the insignias of those who respawned.
I hoped you'll be able to help me figure it out.

I did check "_var" and it worked hehe
mint sand
I will run it in mp so it saves a log in mpmissioncache and investigate the diag_log logs
winter rose
ooor use systemChat format ["_mkr = %1", _mkr] ?
mint sand
What would that do? As far as i understand, _mkr in this goes through a ton of different values as it creates all the zones
winter rose
so rpt it is
still forum
RPT has nothing to do with MP or mpmission cache
faint oasis
anyone have an idea for how to remove the dead body in a vehicle ? because when i delete the dead body i see always the dead body in the vehicle
winter rose
@faint oasis have you checked the big red note @ https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/deleteVehicle ?
mint sand
Right, but before i was running it in the editor and it would not save the file that has the file with diag_log. But all the mp missions save a file that has diag_log
Will get back soon with it

can someone explain the difference between pushback and append?
jade abyss
pushback returns index, at wich the entry was added in
append returns nothing
Also check the Examples. append adds the entrys of an array to the existing array, while pushback would add the whole array to the existing one
bright flume
yeah append adds a element regardless what the element is why I didnt grasp why there a difference unless its just an arma thing.
jade abyss
nono
append needs an array
pushback can add anything
array pushBack element
array1 append array2
Also: You can add this page to your favs, you can easily check on every command for yourself:
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Category:Scripting_Commands_Arma_3
bright flume
I got the page up I didnt see exactly the difference other then one supporting appending lists and append didnt mention why I asked.
so append 4 strings only, pushback is for appending arrays. got it.
jade abyss
wat?
bright flume
append in my world dont matter what the element is, appending is appending. list string matrix or otherwise.. python for example.
cunning crown
append combines 2 array together, pushBack pushes the add the elements to the array.
bright flume
yeah I got it append here only supports adding the whole array at the end of an array, pushback allows an array appending into another array as a new element (ie subnested).
cunning crown
yes
bright flume
yeah I didnt see nothing stating append was only for that why I asked cuz there def other languages this dont apply. ^_^ thanks everyone.
jade abyss
@bright flume Just forget/ignore everything from other languages π
bright flume
yeah... thats the hard part. π

Running into a problem with my respawn portion of description.ext:
I am using respawn = 3; and have the marker down named respawn_west. I am also using respawnTemplates[] = {"MenuInventory", "MenuPosition"}; When I respawn (either via death or via menu) , the death animation plays, and the inventory/location select UI shows up. After the timer, I can click the respawn button. When I do that, a random unit from the group the player was in becomes the focus in spectator mode and a message appears saying "Respawn in progress" but then nothing happens. Any ideas?
bright flume
did you set it for custom respawn point
winter rose
I am not sure, but I think the respawn_west marker is not automatically added to the menu's respawn position.
see https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_addRespawnPosition @devout brook
devout brook
@bright flume I did, and there was no change.
@winter rose Interesting. The marker does show up in the menu but Iβm not sure I have this function anywhere. Iβll have to look.

What are the full set of requirements for making a mission persistent? Specifically the requirements for the mission.sqm and sqf if there are any. We got reports that our mission is ending as soon as the last player leaves, even though autoinit and persistent are being used.

//Hey im Trying to REMOVE individual respawn position for each units.
//for example...
//if theres an enemy within 50m of the player then remove respawn position and add back repawn position once enemies are out of range ...
//[west,_this select 0] call BIS_fnc_addRespawnPosition; // this adds respawn position for all units.I think.
//This is a WORKING example:
myRespawn = [west, HQ, "Mobile HQ"] call BIS_fnc_addRespawnPosition; //car i placed on the map
new = {
myRespawn = [west, HQ, "Mobile HQ"] call BIS_fnc_addRespawnPosition; // this is the line i use to add back the respawn position on the car.
};
Check_Trigger = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", position player, FALSE];
Check_Trigger attachTo [player, [0, 0, 0]];
Check_Trigger setTriggerArea [50, 50, 0, FALSE];
Check_Trigger setTriggerActivation ["ANY", "PRESENT", TRUE];
Check_Trigger setTriggerStatements [
"{(side group _x) != side group player && (side group _x) in [EAST, WEST, RESISTANCE]} count thisList > 0",//this line checks if enemies are in trigger range.
"hint 'respawn disable',myRespawn call BIS_fnc_removeRespawnPosition;", // this line removes the respawn position on the car when enemies are within trigger range.
"hint 'respawn enable ready to spawn ', call new;"// this line adds back the respawn position on the car once enemies are out of trigger range.
];```i tried organizing but discord dont seem to like that βΉοΈ

initserver,sqf
winter rose
dedi ?
player is null on a dedicated server
you could also simplify with ```sqf
MAR_createHQRespawn = { [west, HQ, "Mobile HQ"] call BIS_fnc_addRespawnPosition; };
MAR_respawnPoint = call MAR_createHQRespawn;
oh sorry ...its nondedicated

Is there an way of using getMissionConfigValue with config paths? ("class">>"subclass">>"value")
Or another way of knowing what type the config entry is with for example typeName.
typeName and then config path just shows "CONFIG" which is correct π But I want to know what the entry of that config is. (Array, String, Number)
distant egret
isText*, but works like an charm thx!
distant oyster
there is no configType command
@still forum what about https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_getCfgData
harsh vine
@winter rose Yes, everything works in the script above ...i sent that as an example
still forum
Still no configType command
a script function that does isArray, isNumber, isText like I wrote above yes.

hi guys - i am having issues selecting multiple entries of a CT_Tree with tvSetCurSel - what's the procedure here? I am trying to open the tree with certain rows having the highlighted/selected color
I can only manage to select one entry - but not multiples
burnt cobalt
multiselectEnabled = 1; is what i'm using π
distant oyster
I know that for CT_LISTBOX there is https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/lbSetSelected but for CT_TREE?
burnt cobalt
wait I might have a general misundrstanding here
ah nevermind - i was hoping the difference between say lbSetCurSel and lbSetSelected would hold a clue
there is https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/tvSetCurSel - But it can only select a single entry unless I'm using it wrong
The CT_Tree has two different shades of 'selected-color' - there's the full orange that corresponds with tvCurSel - but then there's also a less bright shade of orange for the 'other' selected entries - those are the ones I'd like to autp-select when opening the interface

//---Target hostage
_x = bis_target
{
waituntil {player distance _x < 5 }; then
player addAction [
"Hands Up",
{ if (side _x == east) then
{ _x switchMove "Acts_ExecutionVictim_Loop";
};
};
}forEach allUnits;
];````I had found it in the pinned message, but thanks! Thats all or is there more wrong?
distant oyster
Dont use _x as a variable. It will only get overwritten by the magic variable
Well there is acutally quite a lot more wrong with the script. Give me a minute
burnt cobalt
just in case somebody knows, i'd like to open a dialog with a CT-Tree and get a pre-selection like this: https://imgur.com/a/gB7WEJa
distant oyster
@tough abyss ```sqf
//_x = bis_target
{
_x addAction [
"Hands Up",
{
params ["_target", "_caller", "_actionId", "_arguments"];
if (side _target == east) then
{
_target switchMove "Acts_ExecutionVictim_Loop";
};
},
[],
1.5,
true,
true,
"",
"alive _target && alive _this",
5
];
} forEach (allUnits select {side _x == east});
@distant oyster Thanks!
distant oyster
@burnt cobalt It seems that there is no command for that :(

What impact does supression have on Ai's abiliity to aim? I cant seem to find what effect it has on AI
I know supression is a value between 0 and 1 but I cant seem to find how that value affects ai
burnt cobalt
@distant oyster seems so, kinda unexpected - thanks though, I appreciate the help!
seems that https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/tvSetCurSel just doesn't do the multiselection bit. Strikes me as odd but hey, it's the game we love π
ebon ridge
Why does a group sometimes have an extra waypoint and sometimes not? I know that all groups have to have 1 waypoint minimum, but surely if I add an explicit waypoint then that extra one should be consistently removed. Yet it sometimes seems to remain such that the first real waypoint is waypoint 2 instead of one.
This is messing with my ability to determine what the real current waypoint target position is
devout brook
Does BIS_fnc_addRespawnPosition need to be called in Description.ext?
winter rose
you⦠can't call anything in Description.ext?
devout brook
Sorry, confused myself.
You linked that function to me but I'm not sure if I need to call it since my respawn point already appears in the respawn UI.
winter rose
and you can click, etc it's interactable?
devout brook
Yeah everything works as expected until the player actually presses the respawn button. Then the UI goes away like normal, but then the player enters spectate mode on a random group member and nothing happens.
and a message is displayed saying "Respawn in progress"
winter rose
then IDK; try using only a "normal" added respawn point, not respawn_west maybe?
either that, or your respawn template combination is not valid and "interfere", but I am absolutely not knowing about what I am talking about here π
devout brook
π¦ This same script worked in another mission I wrote it for, I'm not sure what step I've missed
winter rose
indeed, the issue lies in the (config, most likely) difference between these two missions
devout brook
Anything obvious I should check first?
winter rose
Description.ext:
respawn = 3;
respawnTemplates[] = {"MenuInventory", "MenuPosition"}
marker "respawn_west"β¦
hmm, respawnDelay maybe? or Eden attributes, too
devout brook
Yeah they're all the same:
respawn = 3;
respawnButton = 1;
respawnDelay = 15;
respawnDialog = 0;
respawnOnStart = 0;
It's the Description.ext itself that I am re-using

Can you can change compileFinal in another addon? Addon with dependency from addon that defines something with compileFinal, you can redefine that in subsequent addon with another compileFinal?
hmm
or setting up a compileFinal before the original addon's compile
