woow that was fun had mortars drop where i used to be but now to increase the dispersion little bad when he drops 6 mortars within 5 feet of you

fading barn Apr 22, 2020, 6:25 AM

#

private _radius = <number of meters of dispersion>;
private _angle = random 360;
private _distance = random _radius;
private _aimPoint = _center getPos [_distance, _angle];

Mortar1 commandArtilleryFire [_aimPoint, "8Rnd_82mm_Mo_shells", 6];```

Should be center-weighted, so most will impact near the center of the circle of radius whatever you want. Doesn't take into account terrain elevation or wind/drag if you have ACE Artillery on.

#

If you'd like to be a bit more nice, you can do
private _aimpoint = _center getPos [_radius * sqrt (1 - abs random [-1, 0, 1]), random 360]; instead of the above _aimPoint.

if I want to execute moveInCargo in remoteExec what number should I set in target param?

robust hollow Apr 22, 2020, 7:05 AM

believe it is where the unit is local

Hey guys what is programming like in Arma 3? And what is mapping like too? I'm coming from garry's mod being a very competent Lua programmer

In comparison what's the difficulty like

still forum Apr 22, 2020, 7:29 AM

#

when I use local exec I have to press it twice
Thats because the command is asynchronous/scheduled, but debug console is unscheduled.
@winter rose
it should freeze the game until the result arrives
That wouldn't work. Network messages are not processed when the game is frozen, so if it would freeze, the message would never go out and the answer would never get back.

@fading barn whatever it was defined to do. Depends on the mod. What are you talking about?

@jaunty dock
Arma scripting is very easy if you understood the concept. (almost) Everything is a command, there are 3 types of commands
command, command arg, arg command arg

You could do that without making a terrain

just find a flat place on some existing terrain, and place down some buildings in the editor

You can

It's a CBA/ACE macro for doing a function call of some kind, but I can't figure out what kind in particular. Looked through their documentation and found stuff like FUNC(arg) for a local (to the mod component) function EFUNC(name,arg) for an external (to the component) function in the same mod, DFUNC for global stuff, QFUNC to return the function in quotes, etc. Nothing about CFUNC.

Hi all. I have some troubles with preprocessFile command logic. (arma2OA windows)
I have some scripts in game root directory (for development needs)
When I use preprocessFile command in game client (wia debug console) I can change code in file and reload it again and again.
So don't need reload mission to see changes in game - all is cool.
But when I try do that on dedicated server - all files a locked to writing - so I can't change sripts until server restart.
I also sight that files is locked on client when I try use command directly in mission init.sqf
I need an advice. How can I reload my scripts without restarting the server? Any way to disable file locks? Mayby better pacticle for scripts reloading? Thanks

random loom Apr 22, 2020, 8:00 AM

#

You'll need to enable filepatching

#

and you cannot edit .pbo files while they're in use.

ocean bison Apr 22, 2020, 8:05 AM

#

all files is unpacked. And don't see any option for arma2oaserver to specify filepatching (only -noFilePatching to disable it). And it work as should i think - but lock files to writing. thats my problem

random loom Apr 22, 2020, 8:10 AM

#

I know that there's the -loadMissionToMemory parameter in Arma 3, though that doesn't appear to be the case Arma 2

#

I've also noticed that at least on Windows you cannot swap out mission files without restarting, whereas you can at least on Linux.

still forum Apr 22, 2020, 8:15 AM

#

Files should not be locked when you just load them once with preprocessFile.
But in general I have seen other issues where on dedicated files are locked even if they shouldn't be, even on A3.

winter rose Apr 22, 2020, 8:19 AM

could loadFile help?

ocean bison Apr 22, 2020, 8:29 AM

ok little help here if i place an ai unit in the editor what is its group name

winter rose Apr 22, 2020, 9:09 AM

#

Alpha 1:1 usually

#

if you click on the leader, there is a symbol over his head - you can double-click that

tough abyss Apr 22, 2020, 9:10 AM

#

so that is the group name for scripting purpouses then

winter rose Apr 22, 2020, 9:10 AM

#

if you want to get a scripting reference to his group, this would be ```sqf
group _myUnit;

#

you have to either name the unit, or name the group

#

"name x" = assigning a variable name

tough abyss Apr 22, 2020, 9:13 AM

#

so in its init field of group i put group _name_goes_here

winter rose Apr 22, 2020, 9:14 AM

#

no.
What do you want to do? in human words

tough abyss Apr 22, 2020, 9:14 AM

i just want to know the name of the group so i can use it for part of a script

winter rose Apr 22, 2020, 9:16 AM

open the group properties, and in variable name, put "mySuperGroup"

this will be the reference name to this group from now on

How can I save certain player information during a mission (only while the mission is running)? What I am trying to do is save players CP count when they disconnect as long as the current round of Warlords is running to be able to give them the same amount back once they reconnect for the same side so that if a player for example looses connection and then rejoins they don't loose all their CP and in extension their team doesn't. So the values I'd need to save are, the players SteamID (or some other means of clearly identifying the player), theplayerSide and a number representing the amount of CP the player had when s-/he lost connection/disconnected.

winter rose Apr 22, 2020, 12:12 PM

#

well, either a db (if you want to avoid server restart) or a simple array of players data

you could also use the db* functions

(and yes, promoted from Veteran → Veteran Moderator)

#

acoustic abyss Apr 22, 2020, 2:12 PM

#

@steel star Speaking for myself (still a beginner!), an unstructured approach could be more exciting (and frustrating). Everybody's different. What led me down the rabbit hole was mixing and matching things the player could do to make new gameplay.

For instance: an alarm that trips (trigger) and plays a sound (adding sound description.ext) and activates enemies, that can be deactivated by a switch (addaction) or destruction (trigger).

Placing (and making!) image textures on walls.

Adding a punishment for certain player actions (eventhandler or trigger).

You can do most of these things with the editor modules and one line of code in some init. Then gradually transition to writing more steps into standalone script files.

Read what other people write in this channel. Google your idea with "Arma" and "how" in the keywords. Take apart other people's scripts. You can also ask specific questions here.

winter rose Apr 22, 2020, 2:16 PM

Hey people, need some help with a little issue. I'm executing this function https://pastebin.com/kGUqg81u on a unit. It basically unequips everything it has and then adds the items I specify on another script, everything works fine but my problem is, when I start the game I can't use the vanilla cycle through grenades. I can however use the ACE grenade throw system. Anybody knows why that might be? maybe something got changed since that function was made.

#

If I remove the grenades from my inventory and pick them up again they work just fine

#

This is how the items are added to the unit, in case it helps https://pastebin.com/pqc0XZxe

winter rose Apr 22, 2020, 4:30 PM

  #include "autoEquip.sqf"

``` `addItemToUniform`/`addItemToVest`

@winter rose What's wrong with that btw? 😅

winter rose Apr 22, 2020, 4:41 PM

#

either make one file, or make another function that returns the loadout but don't do that ^^"""

radiant spindle Apr 22, 2020, 4:43 PM

The thing is I'm not executing the function directly, I'm using a preInit declared in description.ext
class Extended_PreInit_EventHandlers { autoEquip_preInit = "call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers 'scripts\autoEquip\autoEquip_preInit.sqf'"; };

#

When I made the function I was told this was the better way, maybe that was not the case then 😅

Evening folks.
Is there anyway to make the FIA hostile to the AAF, but allow both to be hostile to OPFOR and friendly to BLUFOR. I feel like there's a simple way to do it and I'm missing something

#

Or even better switch the side of a faction entirely other than using the sqf [_unit] joinSilent createGroup [_side]; trick for each and every unit

potent dirge Apr 22, 2020, 7:29 PM

#

For a little context, I'm trying to make a mission where the player's relations with each faction can vary but the relations between the factions is always constant

potent dirge Apr 22, 2020, 7:46 PM

I think I've been able to simplify the problem by making FIA BLU and AAF IND, now I only need to figure out how to change relations for only one faction of a side

I'm trying to edit relations at the faction level not at the side level

I see. Not sure there's an easy way to do that.

potent dirge Apr 22, 2020, 8:01 PM

Another workaround I was thinking of is making FIA as IND then giving them negative rating that way AAF will attack them, but then I will need to make NATO friendly with them at the same time.

fading barn Apr 22, 2020, 8:03 PM

Possibly you could use the sideEnemy and use setFriend to make them friendly with BLUFOR

That might just break stuff, also.

Search only shows how to fill one

glass zinc Apr 22, 2020, 8:13 PM

Hi, does anyone know how to remove terrain obects that cannot be found with a search or count function?

if (worldName isEqualTo "Tanoa") then { {    
if (    
(toLower(str _x) find "signtc_23_2.p3d") >= 0 ||    
{(toLower(str _x) find "b_cycas_f.p3d") >= 0} ||      
{(toLower(str _x) find "timberpile_01_f.p3d") >= 0}   
) then {_x hideObjectGlobal true; _x enableSimulationGlobal false;}    
} foreach (nearestTerrainObjects [[worldSize/2, worldSize/2], ["HIDE"], worldSize]); 
};

I use this script to normally remove broken objects from map, but the objects I am trying to remove now are not findable with nearestTerrainObjects, I can find time with cursorobject, but they will not show up with nearestTerrainObjects. so when this function runs it cant find them to count them. thus they are uncountable.

does anyone know a alternate means to remove the objects from the entire map that does not rely on them being counted first?

Also FYI i can still global remove all objects from the map, but cannot seem to isolate these specific objects for removal.

potent dirge Apr 22, 2020, 8:28 PM

I have this crazy idea. Maybe I can make FIA side BLU, AAF side IND, then make NATO side CIV, BLU would be hostile to IND, and vice versa and both will be friendly to CIV

#

It could probably break a lot of things since there are also regular civilians as well

#

I might just refrain from doing it out of shame, if someone like Lou Montana finds it

#

or what if I used sideEnemy then made sideEnemy friendly to sideEnemy

DO I need a ;

winter rose Apr 22, 2020, 9:46 PM

#

nope

potent dirge Apr 22, 2020, 9:49 PM

#

It appears it is impossible to change a unit's side to sideEnemy without changing rating, and also not possible to change sideEnemy relations with any side even itself.```sqf
[_unit] joinSilent createGroup [sideEnemy, true];
side _unit;
//Returns _unit's original side instead of sideEnemy

#

Or am I missing something, I hope?

winter rose Apr 22, 2020, 9:51 PM

#

it might very well be possible that it's impossible, yes

fading barn Apr 22, 2020, 9:51 PM

#

I could totally see sideEnemy not being changeable like that.

#

Best bet's probably to use Civ

winter rose Apr 22, 2020, 9:51 PM

#

also, sideEnemy is enemy to sideEnemy, too

potent dirge Apr 22, 2020, 9:54 PM

#

yeah I tried messing with setFriend to see if that could fix that, but can't change any relations to and from sideEnemy

winter rose Apr 22, 2020, 10:07 PM

#

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki?title=Side&oldid=137006
maybe "Special sides" are not as scriptable as the normal ones (blufor/opfor/indep/civ)

potent dirge Apr 22, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

Probably, they don't have a sideCentre like normal sides, so you can't create groups with them, probably why I couldn't do so earlier. However, sideLogic has a sideCentre, so maybe I can try that.

#

It actually worked. side _unit is LOGIC, but the AI won't engage even though [resistance, sideLogic] call BIS_fnc_sideIsFriendly; returns false

winter rose Apr 22, 2020, 10:30 PM

#

be sure to check if the group is created before joining it
you may need to createCenter manually, if it works

potent dirge Apr 22, 2020, 10:43 PM

#

I think at this point it's better for me to just redesign the mission to fit Arma instead of the other way around. Using sideLogic as an 'extra' side might cause me problems in the long run

#

Thanks for all the help, really appreciate it, learnt alot about sqf too

winter rose Apr 22, 2020, 10:45 PM

#

with pleasure
but yeah a "new side" is some kind of unreachable Eldorado… and a Pandora's box as well

Looking to make a 'draw3d' nametag that has a variable that is unique only to that unit this variable would constantly be changing for both real and ai units.
anyhow got any idea's for the best overall performance. tried doing it via an mpeventhandler but makes performance issues very quickly as it constantly creating a new handler (while removing the old one)

Hello,

can anyone recommend a nice clean script that can reduce damage to a single vehicle, or increase it's health?

urban tiger Apr 22, 2020, 11:42 PM

#

@coarse sedge this addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", {(_this select 2)/DAMAGEREDUCTION)}];

coarse sedge Apr 22, 2020, 11:42 PM

#

ty, and is there a way to tune it up and down abit?

urban tiger Apr 22, 2020, 11:43 PM

#

. /1 is 'defualt' /10 would mean it has '10 times' more health

coarse sedge Apr 22, 2020, 11:44 PM

#

got it, thanks man!

Anyone recommend a good YouTube channel for intermediate and advanced scripting tutorials iv done alot of scripting but mainly either using and implementing others code or modifying code to do what I need but it's time I learn more so I can write code for arma from the ground up

exotic flax Apr 22, 2020, 11:53 PM

#

If there are any YT videos about SQF/Arma then it's most likely from the Arma 2 times...

urban tiger Apr 22, 2020, 11:54 PM

#

@exotic flax just noticed that haha

coarse sedge Apr 22, 2020, 11:54 PM

#

@urban tiger and to reduce the health in half this addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", {(_this select 0.5)/DAMAGEREDUCTION)}]; will work?

exotic flax Apr 22, 2020, 11:54 PM

#

best source of information is wiki, forums, (this) discord and public repositories of other projects

urban tiger Apr 22, 2020, 11:55 PM

#

@coarse sedge no. the _this select 2 is selecting the unit. for 'double' the health it would be this addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", {(_this select 2)/2)}];

coarse sedge Apr 22, 2020, 11:56 PM

#

addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", {(_this select 2)/0.5)}]; to double it's health then?

exotic flax Apr 22, 2020, 11:57 PM

#

double damage

coarse sedge Apr 22, 2020, 11:57 PM

#

😬

urban tiger Apr 22, 2020, 11:57 PM

#

^ doubles the damage

lofty anchor Apr 22, 2020, 11:57 PM

#

@exotic flax that ashame although some of the arma 2 stuff is still relevant

exotic flax Apr 22, 2020, 11:57 PM

#

well yes, although a lot of "features" have been fixed or replaced by improved functions.

coarse sedge Apr 22, 2020, 11:57 PM

#

if i put 0.5 instead of 2 what kind of an effect would that have?

exotic flax Apr 22, 2020, 11:58 PM

#

damage = value / 0.5 = ?

urban tiger Apr 22, 2020, 11:58 PM

#

doubles its damage taken

coarse sedge Apr 23, 2020, 12:01 AM

#

i'm sorry, 2am here. i read the whole thing again and i understand

exotic flax Apr 23, 2020, 12:03 AM

#

just a pro-tip: always multiply instead of divide, it will make everything much easier:

damage = value * 2; // double damage
damage = value * 0.5; // half damage
damage = value * 0.13; // 13% of damage
damage = value * 0; // no damage, and prevents "division by zero"

coarse sedge Apr 23, 2020, 12:53 AM

#

this addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", {(_this select 2)/2)}];
could use some more pro tips @exotic flax . I might be placing this in the wrong place...but if it's in vehicle init, then there is an error msg preventing me to even close the atributes menu

robust hollow Apr 23, 2020, 12:59 AM

#

i believe the editor expect the init code to return nothing, or something like that?

try one of these sqf _a = this addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", {(_this select 2)/2)}];

call {
  this addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", {(_this select 2)/2)}];
};```

#

the second one would technically return something but iirc it does work. idk why it errors exactly 🤷‍♂️

craggy lagoon Apr 23, 2020, 1:14 AM

Hey guys I'm trying to make a trigger with the condition that checks if a player has the "V_RebreatherB" on. I was able to write one checking for items in a vest but can't do it for the vest itself. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

exotic flax Apr 23, 2020, 1:22 AM

#

@coarse sedge event handlers shouldn't be added in the init field of a unit/vehicle, since it's global, but in a script like init.sqf in a mission.

fading barn Apr 23, 2020, 1:22 AM

#

if ((vest <player's reference>) == "V_RebreatherB") then {stuff};

#

So if you just want the condition it's the stuff inside the outer () @craggy lagoon

craggy lagoon Apr 23, 2020, 1:44 AM

@fading barn That worked thank you very much!!

how do i delete map objects that only show up with cursorobject but dont show up with either nearobject or nearestterrainobject? Im trying to delete these items at mission start

sharp grotto Apr 23, 2020, 5:33 AM

#

If i read out a netID for the same object on the server and client, they should be the same or ? 🤔

Because on the server it get this
1bcb9c64100# 1235546: plp_cts_weathcratesmallgreen.p3d

And on the client
1d0fddf6b00# 1226753: plp_cts_weathcratesmallgreen.p3d REMOTE

Is there a way to calculate "simple expression" (rain/forest/meadow etc) for arbirtary position?

#

Ah, getAllEnvSoundControllers does return all the variables, I guess I can just use it

smoky verge Apr 23, 2020, 10:09 AM

#

any reason why this switchMove "animation"; works in singleplayer but not in multiplayer?

winter rose Apr 23, 2020, 10:13 AM

#

locality issue?

#

@smoky verge given I see you using this, I assume this is in an init field?

smoky verge Apr 23, 2020, 10:15 AM

#

yeah I'm using it in the init of the unit

#

something related to init boxes?

winter rose Apr 23, 2020, 10:16 AM

#

bad Sanchez, bad

smoky verge Apr 23, 2020, 10:16 AM

#

oh I don't do that on a daily basis, just looking for ways to animate a large amount of units

cosmic lichen Apr 23, 2020, 10:17 AM

#

Remote exced has global effect so it should work

#

just don't do it in the init

#

Because init is executed for every player

smoky verge Apr 23, 2020, 10:19 AM

#

yeah guessed that but having it elsewhere defeat the purpose of all this
on a sidenote I must guess that this won't cause any issue in singleplayer?

cosmic lichen Apr 23, 2020, 10:19 AM

#

singleplayer is fine

#

you can try to do ```sqf
if (local this) do {switchMove stuff};

smoky verge Apr 23, 2020, 10:20 AM

#

I can try with the hard way and fiddle with a forEach and switchMove

cosmic lichen Apr 23, 2020, 10:25 AM

#

Oh btw

#

did you disable some of the AI's features? Like move, anim, target etc?

#

That might cause them to exit the animation

smoky verge Apr 23, 2020, 10:25 AM

#

nope

winter rose Apr 23, 2020, 10:30 AM

I always thought switchMove and playMove needed a little delay

Looking to make a 'draw3d' nametag that has a variable that is unique only to that unit this variable would constantly be changing for both real and ai units.
anyhow got any idea's for the best overall performance? tried doing it via an mpeventhandler but makes performance issues very quickly as it constantly creating a new handler (while removing the old one)

winter rose Apr 23, 2020, 11:04 AM

#

12h bump… tolerated 👀 😋

do not mpEventHandler, use a local script to every client

#

you could set the variable from the server via e.g setVariable

urban tiger Apr 23, 2020, 11:07 AM

#

not sure if im overlooking something very obvious. As the variable would be changing dynamically throughout the mission how would i then define it with setVariable if its an unique value to every ai and client?

#

as the var is going to be visable to every client

winter rose Apr 23, 2020, 11:09 AM

#

so you mean, unit 1 could be seen as "John" by player1, and "Bob" as player2?

urban tiger Apr 23, 2020, 11:11 AM

#

no. more along the lines of a draw3d displaying 'john(ai) Points: '100' ', player1 Points:200 and player2 Points: 300. with every unit able to visually see the points for ai and players

winter rose Apr 23, 2020, 11:14 AM

#

_myUnit setVariable ["PHP_Name", "my unit name"];
_myUnit setVariable ["PHP_Points", 300];
```and in your script,```sqf
private _name = _myUnit getVariable ["PHP_Name", "-no name set-"];
private _points = _myUnit getVariable ["PHP_Points", 0];
// draw3D with this stuff

urban tiger Apr 23, 2020, 11:20 AM

#

am i overlooking obvious? but thats going to display 300 for every unit. unless you mean this as a local script. however it also the issue of having that be called from a ai unit. [name,500] call fn_points and passing that into a event handler caused the performance issue r. If it call a script with just an draw3d its not visible yet reports no issue.

winter rose Apr 23, 2020, 11:22 AM

#

I… simply didn't get your question.

#

_myUnit setVariable ["PHP_Name", "my unit name"];
_myUnit setVariable ["PHP_Points", 300];

this ^ means "set your name and score variable from wherever you want"

urban tiger Apr 23, 2020, 11:24 AM

#

but that would mean the name would have to be defined for every single ai.

winter rose Apr 23, 2020, 11:25 AM

#

you could do ```sqf
private _name = name _unit;

I'm not sure, I followed a video tutorial that I found on the Bohemia forum

@languid steeple use the addAction script parameters shown in https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addAction:

@tough abyss ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

compare with the page what is missing

I think my problem was not putting spaces in-between the "="

That can't be the source of the error, but you may have changed something else in the process 😉

there are no checks for locality though, use remoteExec wherever needed (e.g for deleteGroup)

See https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Multiplayer_Scripting#Locality @thorn saffron
basically, AIs are local to the group leader's machine (server if leader is AI)

players are local to their machines
empty vehicles are local to the server

jade abyss Apr 23, 2020, 12:06 PM

#

empty vehicles are local to the server
@winter rose uhm, you sure? Don't think so.

#

If you were in the Vehicle or the AI commanding it was yours (local to you) -> It should be yours.

@winter rose if i was using private _name = name _unit; it would go back to every unit that is spawned being defined

tough abyss Apr 23, 2020, 12:09 PM

I figured out the reason why there was an issue.
missionconfigfile >> "CfgORBAT" >> "1reg" >> "1b,2b" is why it kept failing, and it started working when I removed the ,2b
I am trying to get multiple subordinate units to appear in the ORBAT, and I guess my real question is how do I get that to happen, because the page on the wiki does not show that, I think

jade abyss Apr 23, 2020, 12:09 PM

#

execute multiple times?

winter rose Apr 23, 2020, 12:10 PM

private _reg1 = missionconfigfile >> "CfgORBAT" >> "1reg";

@tough abyss I don't think so

@urban tiger

have an independent function dealing with the score and setting it to the unit with setVariable on change
with your drawIcon3D stuff:
2a) get all the units to be drawn (close & on screen)
2b) for each these units:
2ba) get the unit's name
2bb) get that score variable
2bc) draw the icon/text

It worked for me however they didn't see the vehicleChat messages that were appearing.

I have a strong feeling I did something wrong in terms of multiplayer scripting

I think you will have to use remoteExec

slate cypress Apr 23, 2020, 1:13 PM

but it's in an init field

#

i thought remoteExec only applies to sqf scripts in the directory

#

a method to call them.

coarse sedge Apr 23, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

Hello,

it was advised to me to call an event handler from a sqf file. This is the event handler:

this addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", {(_this select 2)/2)}];

It is supposed to double the health of a BTR 80 vehicle with a variable name teleportFlag2. I made an empty sqf file named Abtr80.sqf.

Since this is my first time implementing an event handler to a specific vehicle, and since it’s such a simple one, it could be a nice opportunity to finnaly learn the basics of making EH work. Unfortunatly all of my attempts so far, after reading and watching videos about it, failed. I am missing something essential for making this work.
Any help would be much apreciated...

urban tiger Apr 23, 2020, 1:51 PM

#

did you name the tank in the editor?

coarse sedge Apr 23, 2020, 1:54 PM

#

yep, that is the only place i named it

#

sqf is empty

urban tiger Apr 23, 2020, 1:54 PM

#

you don't even need to use a sqf

#

just put this addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", {(_this select 2)/2)}]; in the init field on the unit in the editor

coarse sedge Apr 23, 2020, 1:56 PM

#

@urban tiger yeah, that is what i tried, unfortunatly i get an undefined error msg that prevents me to close the atributes window. I also tried these two with the same result:

_a = this addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", {(_this select 2)/2)}];

call { this addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", {(_this select 2)/2)}]; };

urban tiger Apr 23, 2020, 2:14 PM

#

you don't need to call it

#

literally just this addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", {(_this select 2)/2)}];

winter rose Apr 23, 2020, 2:17 PM

#

in an Eden field, you need to do something like 0 = /*moy code */ if the code returns something.

same error msg
which is… ?

tough abyss Apr 23, 2020, 2:25 PM

What I'm trying to do is to get player's altitude and temperature at that altitude. Both variables, I suppose, are provided by ACE and I want to use it for that purpose. Wrote some code with somebody's help but with no luck, this is part of the script:

_playerAltitude = (getPosASL ACE_player) select 2;
_altitude = EGVAR(common,mapAltitude) + _playerAltitude;
_temperature = _altitude call EFUNC(weather,calculateTemperatureAtHeight);

"Show script errors" throws this:

_altitude = EGVAR#(common,mapAltitude) + _playerAltitude;   // error missing ;

What am I doing wrong in this script?

robust hollow Apr 23, 2020, 2:25 PM

the point was made earlier today that event handlers usually shouldnt be added in an object's global init field. its more important in an mp scenario, but good to keep in mind.

@tough abyss EGVAR macror isnt defined i assume

it didnt preprocess to the code it represents

Any ACE dev onboard by any chance? I use ACE in my mission and need to know how to get numbers from variables stored in Kestrel item for my own script, for example this one:

private _temperature = _playerAltitude call EFUNC(weather,calculateTemperatureAtHeight);

It's taken from here:
https://github.com/acemod/ACE3/blob/master/addons/kestrel4500/functions/fnc_generateOutputData.sqf
Is it even possible?

exotic flax Apr 23, 2020, 3:22 PM

#

_playerAltitude = (getPosASL player) select 2;
_temperature = _playerAltitude call ace_weather_fnc_calculateTemperatureAtHeight;

#

you can basically replace all FUNC and EFUNC stuff with direct function names and replace ACE_player with player

spark turret Apr 23, 2020, 3:23 PM

#

where is the script of "on activation" of waypoints executed? all clients or server/host only?

exotic flax Apr 23, 2020, 3:24 PM

#

marco's will most likely cause some issues, although you can include the macro file(s) of ACE to access them.

tough abyss Apr 23, 2020, 3:25 PM

#

Oh gosh... Is that simple? If I include the macro, will it change what my numbers are? I mean like if I will get different wind direction than other players on a server?

exotic flax Apr 23, 2020, 3:26 PM

#

wind direction and speed SHOULD be global (is actually defined by terrain and mission settings)

spark turret Apr 23, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

ace temperature is quite dumb for a lot of maps. 16 degrees in takistani desert and + 12 on snow maps

tough abyss Apr 23, 2020, 3:28 PM

#

yeah, but my stuff is going to impact on helo engine performances, so we all need to have an access to the same numbers when pilot call for wind strenght and direction at LZ. Ace is crucial here

#

Anyway, thanks a lot! @exotic flax

exotic flax Apr 23, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

afaik does ACE not do anything to weather effects other than taking them from vanilla Arma functions (eg. wind and windDir methods)

tough abyss Apr 23, 2020, 3:33 PM

#

well, it's not only wind strenght/direction I need. Also, ambient temperature at altitude is important. AFAIK, ACE does much more than just pulling out the vanilla data and pusblish it with no change. It would be stupid, to be honest.

spark turret Apr 23, 2020, 3:33 PM

#

are you sure? i think ace might overwrite windspeeds depending on height terrain, but im not sure

exotic flax Apr 23, 2020, 3:34 PM

#

it does, and it even modifies it based on terrain and objects (eg. windspeed near trees and buildings is lower than in an open field)

#

all "features" can be found in https://github.com/acemod/ACE3/tree/master/addons/weather/functions

#

but everything that ACE does can be retrieved by calling their functions or accessing their variables directly

#

@spark turret if I'm correct you can use setWaypointStatements for "on activation"

spark turret Apr 23, 2020, 3:47 PM

#

i meant by default with out scripted behavior. if i just drop code in it in editor, where will it execute

#

it would make sense to only run on the server or the machine the WP is local to, but since its arma i dont trust that lol

exotic flax Apr 23, 2020, 3:49 PM

#

While Condition code is evaluated on the group owner's machine, OnActivation code is executed globally, a.k.a on every client!

spark turret Apr 23, 2020, 3:49 PM

#

oh interesting

#

but why lol

winter rose Apr 23, 2020, 3:54 PM

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

exotic flax Apr 23, 2020, 3:57 PM

#

It does make sense in a way, although it would make more sense if it was on every group member (instead of all clients).

#

But having it globally ensures that you can trigger other actions as well, outside of the group with the waypoint

or rename _caller

spark phoenix Apr 23, 2020, 9:25 PM

#

When working in MP you need to think about the context your code will be executing in.

Does this run on the server? A client? How will you ensure "local effect" commands will be executed on all clients?

In this case, you didn't check that say3d has only local effects. Meaning you need to remote execute those in order for other clients to hear them.

You can check if a command is local or global effects on the wiki.

surreal peak Apr 23, 2020, 9:25 PM

#

issue isnt playSound

ornate marsh Apr 23, 2020, 9:25 PM

#

say3d wants to be local anyway, thats not the problem. The EH is the problem

spark phoenix Apr 23, 2020, 9:26 PM

#

Fired only fires when applied to a local unit

ornate marsh Apr 23, 2020, 9:26 PM

#

also Fred, if I rename it to _caller i dont need the _this select 1 do I?

surreal peak Apr 23, 2020, 9:26 PM

#

yes

#

_this select xyz is not necessary cause of params

ornate marsh Apr 23, 2020, 9:27 PM

#

if its added via an addAction though, it should be added to the person who selected the action, therefore making it local, right?

spark phoenix Apr 23, 2020, 9:27 PM

#

You are applying it on the target right?

ornate marsh Apr 23, 2020, 9:27 PM

on the caller

it should add the EH to whoever clicks the option in the scroll menu

Ah I see it now. The select commnd through me off. On mobile so it's kinda hard to read

one person should be able to have the EH, while another doesn't

#

i'll edit it one sec

#

edited

spark phoenix Apr 23, 2020, 9:29 PM

Try using the parameters in the fired eh instead of cursorTarget

#

Did you check if the fired EH is applied at all by using a systemchat in the handler?

ornate marsh Apr 23, 2020, 9:31 PM

could do, lemme check

how could i do that?

I believe you have one too many ;

player addEventHandler ["FiredMan", {if (cursorTarget iskindof "man") then {cursorTarget setHit ["head", 1]; systemChat "hit!"}}];

#

try both, although player shouldnt be used for multiplayer testing

Depends on the context but Ideally player wouldn't be used yeah.

ornate marsh Apr 23, 2020, 9:39 PM

#

#

that's working from my testing, also thrown in this line to help

#

["deadshotReveal", "onEachFrame", {{player reveal _x} forEach allUnits;}, [_caller]] call BIS_fnc_addStackedEventHandler;

spark phoenix Apr 23, 2020, 9:43 PM

#

Ya that works but it's really inefficient. Ideally you wouldnt continue to call reveal like that.

#

For testing however, it will let you know if reveal is the issue.

ornate marsh Apr 23, 2020, 9:44 PM

#

but if i'm spawning new units that are maybe out of the FOV or are blocked by shrubs, that should help

#

ok, so with some testing, it works at short distance, like <2-3m

#

When spawning items via createvechile, we have can_collide, None and fly. Is there anyway to get it to spawn directly at the coordinates with collision turned off? Try to build a base which half is built using scripts.

#

But things fly around or just don't go directly on the coordinates given. Idk why

robust hollow Apr 24, 2020, 1:57 AM

it should work if you spawn the object with can_collide and immediately disable simulation

They're... not quite the same. vectorDiff between the two gives [0.000212908,-8.65683e-005,-0.00806219]. Is that rounding error?

fading barn Apr 24, 2020, 6:10 AM

#

Possibly the difference between Render and Simulation space, if not. In either case, the base unit is meters, so the largest difference is 8 millimeters. Seems acceptable, I'd think.

robust hollow Apr 24, 2020, 1:38 PM

#

a few things to note:

This is not "network friendly". It shouldn't cause too much of a disturbance (if any at all), but I wrote it all lazily using local variables as much as possible because I didnt want to make multiple files, so it sends the code blocks over the network every time it runs.
It uses the clientOwner ID to identify players. Doing this won't list players as P1, P2, etc, but it will allow you to compare specific players over different log batches.
I have not tested it, but it works in my head so I give it a 60% chance of success.

Hi, does anyone know how to add player name to an array, like this array = ["R","u","b","i","o"]

thorn saffron Apr 24, 2020, 4:05 PM

#

_unitCount = [
    0, // 0 - planes
    0, // 1 - attack helicopters
    0, // 2 - transport and misc helicopters
    0, // 3 - tanks
    0, // 4 - tracked APCs
    0, // 5 - Wheeled APCs
    0, // 6 - Cars
    0, // 7 - soldiers
    0, // 8 - ammo vehicles
    0, // 9 - repair vehicles
    0  // 10 - fuel vehicles
];```
How do I use params on this so every element is its own param?
I tried putting this under the array:
```sqf
_unitCount params ["_planes","_attackHelos","_cargoHelos","_tanks","_trackAPC","_wheelAPC","_cars","_soldiers","_ammo","_repair","_fuel"];

And it didn't work.
I never really used params for array elements, I'm not sure how to go with this.

So, apparently setGroupOwner causes the squad leader of the group do dismount its vehicle if the vehicle is stationary. Does anyone know a good way to counter or prevent this behavior? I believe this behavior is due to the ai receiving a temp waypoint on its position during transfer. The ai remount if given a move order but I do not want them to dismount at all when transferring. @ me please.

Wanting to make this activate a trigger. I know it wants to go in the Condition box, but don't know how to make it work in there

if (currentWeapon _x == "hgun_esd_01_antenna_02_F")

crude vigil Apr 25, 2020, 12:19 AM

#

@potent depot You may use the local event handler(https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Event_Handlers#Local) and when setGroupOwner is called, with this event you can call moveInXXX commands (ex for driver.. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/moveInDriver)
@ornate marsh Just remove the if part, condition segment requires a bool value, which is returned by == operator in here, you dont need an if. It is enough to have this in condition segment of ur trigger:

currentWeapon _x == "hgun_esd_01_antenna_02_F"

I'm working on a script/fnc that adds some weather related effects on an addon. It uses output data from ACE3. It works well but spam with error like this:

if (#_windGradientEnabled) then [ ....
File z\ace\addons\weather\functions\fnc_calculateWindSpeed.sqf ..., line 34
blablabla
Error undefined variable in expression: _windgradientenabled

Have all the ACE Weather and ACE AdvancedBallistic options enabled. I call for the data in my script like this:

_windspeed = [getPosASL _veh, true, true, true] call ace_weather_calculateWindSpeed;

What am I missing?

u can put an event handler for animation change

#

I am not sure if this event works for animations like movement though.

smoky verge Apr 25, 2020, 2:15 PM

#

wouldn't that break shooting, reloading and etc?

#

so the setPos seems to work quite well

#

but sometimes the player twitches a bit

crude vigil Apr 25, 2020, 2:16 PM

#

you ll check if the animation is the anim used in move format in 3 stances(stand, crouch, prone) and change the animation to what you want.

#

you may also want to handle stuff like the anims that are used to get over fences and roll left/right when you are proning.

#

if you dont want to bother with these, maybe you can find something to prevent WASD movement but I doubt it is possible , I doubt you will be able to prevent movement at all. (ie. you will still need to deal with animations)

smoky verge Apr 25, 2020, 2:20 PM

standing crouching and proning seems to work well
only problem is the ghost walk and the vaulting

which I'm willing to ignore to an extent

Why not simply use _unit disableAI "PATH";?
This will simply prevent AI/player from moving around, but everything else will still work

Because it is a player.

#

As far as I know , disableAI does not work for player.

Otherwise, certainly the better option.

@smoky verge You can block behaviours by using keyDown event. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/User_Interface_Event_Handlers#onKeyDown
To block certain keys you need to check if _key value is equal to DIK_Codes https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/DIK_KeyCodes
You will need to apply this event to Mission display which idd's is 46.

So an example is:

blockMovementEH = (findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", {
params ["_ctrl","_button","_BtnShift","_BtnCtrl","_BtnAlt"];
if (_button == 17 || _button == 30 || _button == 31 || _button 32) then { //W, A, S, D ids in order, found in DIK_Codes page.
true; //Returning true prevents default action to be applied, in this scenario, it prevents movement.
};

}];

To properly make this a useful code which detects what the inputs of movement of player are, you may wanna combine this example with actionKeys command:
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/actionKeys
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/inputAction/actions

To remove this EH later on, simply use this:

(findDisplay 46) displayRemoveEventHandler ["KeyDown", blockMovementEH];

smoky verge Apr 25, 2020, 2:59 PM

#

yeah grasped the concept of how it works
still a bit confused on the params
but thanks

crude vigil Apr 25, 2020, 3:00 PM

#

Each event handler to access stuff quicker return you data related to that event. Only thing you need in this scenario is _button. (which is 2nd output of the event handler). Alternatively , you could do _button = _this select 1; too.

Yes but why would it return "Put" if I have a gun ?

#

It is really strange, in my debug console, currentWeapon player returns "hgun_P07_snds_F"
But in the HandleDamage EH, it returns "Put"

@high horizon yes you can

high horizon Apr 25, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

@young current True, I thought you were saying something else. The "chest" selection in which lod is it?

young current Apr 25, 2020, 5:43 PM

#

dunno

#

maybe there is no such selection

#

if selecetion is not there it gives out the 0,0,0 coordinates

#

of the model

high horizon Apr 25, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

@young current No chest in any lod

young current Apr 25, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

then you need to try something else.

#

use selectionNames to figure out what the names are

high horizon Apr 25, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

I think im gonna use "head" selection and then move with ctrlsetPosition

young current Apr 25, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

also note that it might be "head" or "Head"

#

not sure if they are case sensitive

does anybody know how exactly a waypointscript is executed? Is it on every machine (as is ie waypointStatements) or only on the machine owning the group?

winter rose Apr 25, 2020, 8:44 PM

#

it is explained on the wiki somewhere, check the "waypoint" page @burnt cobalt

#

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Waypoints ← got it

#

While Condition code is evaluated on the group owner's machine, OnActivation code is executed globally, a.k.a on every client!

hm, as for the

, I don't know… tests should be made

 _vegs = nearestTerrainObjects [player, ["tree"], 50];  
{  
 _x hideobjectglobal true;  
 _x setDamage 1;  
} foreach _vegs;

will allow me to remove the tree I want, but when i put in the trees classname I cannot remove it. Why? im trying to remove only specific trees from Tanoa. but every known method i try will not work

#

I have used all methods i could find on the BI forums, but when i try to remove the tree type by its classname or ID number it will not remove.

#

i dont want to delete all the trees I just want to trim the forest.

#

I have tested my remove method vs other objects on the map IE benches and scrubs etc

#

and the scripts will remove those objects just fine

#

but the trees will not go if i try to remove them by type

robust hollow Apr 26, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

i dont know about tree classnames, but in my limited tree experience, this is how i would do it (changing the string to the model you want, of course)

private _vegs = nearestTerrainObjects [player, ["tree"], 50];  
{  
    if ((getModelInfo _x#0) == "t_cyathea_f.p3d") then {
        _x hideobjectglobal true;  
        _x setDamage 1;  
    };
} foreach _vegs;

for CfgSounds is the max volume 1 or can you go past 1

robust hollow Apr 26, 2020, 1:54 AM

#

i dont know for sure, but i imagine you can go above 1 because the playSound3D command (which takes a filepath instead of a class) allows going up to 5.
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/playSound3D
Since A3 v1.91.145537 the maximum volume allowed is 5. Exceeding this will result in sound not being played when executed remotely.

having an hard time disabling eventhandlers

addMissionEventHandler ["Draw3D", {call {

if (vehicle player != player) exitWith {player switchCamera "gunner"};

I though the correct way to disable this would be 
```sqf

but it doesn't recognize Draw3D

robust hollow Apr 26, 2020, 4:15 AM

removeMissionEventHandler ["Draw3D", 0];

Righto, so!

I've been toying around for the past 3 hours trying to make a James Bond-style submersible car

I've managed to get it so that it either works as an amphibious car (with simulation = "car";) or that it works as a submersible (with simulation="submarinex";)

#

But not both

#

Any way to get an amphibious car to sink using normal functionality?

I was able to get me tree removal script working well. is there any way I can add a % method so that I can choose to remove only a % of the trees in question instead of having to remove them all?

{(toLower(str _x) find "t_ficus_big_f.p3d") >= 0}     
) then {_x hideObjectGlobal true; _x enableSimulationGlobal False; }      
} foreach (nearestTerrainObjects [[worldSize/2, worldSize/2], ["HIDE","tree"], worldSize, false]);   
};  
};

robust hollow Apr 26, 2020, 6:15 AM

something like this perhaps

if (isServer) then {
    if (worldName isEqualTo "Tanoa") then {
        private _trees = nearestTerrainObjects[[worldSize / 2, worldSize / 2], ["HIDE", "tree"], worldSize, false] select {

        };
        _trees = _trees call BIS_fnc_arrayShuffle; // randomize so it isnt the closest x% that get removed
        _trees = _trees select [0,ceil(count _trees * 0.70)] // 70%
        {
            _x hideObjectGlobal true;

The second element must be -1 (≤ 0 really) at all times, otherwise command becomes unusable

ok, 👍 ....so I'm using this....

#

_fe = (count (_pos isflatempty [0,0,0.25,35,0,false,objNull])) > 0;

which is a bit different,

still the same?

robust hollow Apr 26, 2020, 9:27 AM

change the second element to -1

sage flume Apr 26, 2020, 9:29 AM

good deal, the first number if I want this array to tell a small group of objects to spawn and I need an area of about 25', I should enter 25 (or 30) to it room?

#

like a check point composition

#

lastly, in my array, how can I divert from objnull to say no object closer that 1m

#

from the biki the first number says "object no closer than ? from player, but the objNull seems to say the same thing...

#

🧐

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 9:53 AM

#

_pos isFlatEmpty [
  0,      // minDistance
  -1,     // mode
  0.25,   // maxGradient
  35,     // maxGradientRadius
  0,      // overLandOrWater
  false,  // shoreLine
  objNull // ignoreObject
];

#

from the biki the first number says "object no closer than ? from player, but the objNull seems to say the same thing...
the wiki does not mention player at all for the first parameter. ignoreObject is here to say "don't consider this specific object to check if the area is empty"

I'm totally lost

_target playMoveNow "AmovPercMstpSsurWnonDnon";
_target playMove "AmovPercMstpSnonWnonDnon";

This works as expected

_target playMoveNow "AmovPercMstpSsurWnonDnon";

for "_second" from 1 to _robberyTime / _tick do {
    private _progress = _second / _robberyTime;

    if (!alive _target) then {
        // Some cleanup stuff
    };

    sleep _tick;
};

_target playMoveNow "AmovPercMstpSnonWnonDnon";
hint "got here"

This, however, doesn't work for some reason; The NPC just stays in the animation and the hint gets shown.

#

am I missing something?

#

Replacing the whole loop with just

sleep _robberyTime;

also causes the NPC to stay with his hands up

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 10:15 AM

#

I'm totally lost
mandatory "Hi lost, I'm dad!"

#

if _robberyTime equals 0, you get a division by 0 error. where are your variables defined? when is it supposed to fire? what are you expecting it to do? who killed JFK?? SO MANY QUESTIONS

nope, it's 10 seconds

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 10:16 AM

did you tick the show script errors launcher checkbox?

loud python Apr 26, 2020, 10:17 AM

#

dunno; it's been showing me errors so far though, so I assume yes

#

also the script continues to run, as the hint gets executed

#

a simpler example that still doesn't work:

_target playMoveNow "AmovPercMstpSnonWnonDnon_AmovPercMstpSsurWnonDnon"; // Hands up
sleep 3;
_target playMoveNow "AmovPercMstpSsurWnonDnon_AmovPercMstpSnonWnonDnon"; // Hands down

_target being the NPC, of course

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 10:20 AM

#

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 10:20 AM

#

where do you execute this last example?

loud python Apr 26, 2020, 10:20 AM

#

part of a function that gets spawned as a hold-action

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 10:21 AM

#

fix the errors first 😑

loud python Apr 26, 2020, 10:21 AM

#

I did

#

I mean it's been showing me errors as I was building this script and I fixed them as they appeared

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 10:22 AM

#

ok
paste your simplest example in https://sqfbin.com/ and put the link here

loud python Apr 26, 2020, 10:23 AM

#

I'm in the middle of reworking it, so there might be some weird things going on 😜
https://sqfbin.com/muduhibavepexisohiqi

#

like the commented-out if statement below the loop; just ignore that

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 10:25 AM

#

a simpler example that still doesn't work:

_target playMoveNow "AmovPercMstpSnonWnonDnon_AmovPercMstpSsurWnonDnon"; // Hands up
sleep 3;
_target playMoveNow "AmovPercMstpSsurWnonDnon_AmovPercMstpSnonWnonDnon"; // Hands down

works for me - except that you may have to switchMove to get out of the surrender animation @loud python

#

…that's your simplest example??

loud python Apr 26, 2020, 10:25 AM

#

_target switchMove "" kinda fixes it, but then the NPC is instantly standing still and the animation doesn't do what it should

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 10:26 AM

#

no, switchMove "AmovPercMstpSsurWnonDnon_AmovPercMstpSnonWnonDnon"

#

🤔 I'm probably reaching the point where I should eat something before I continue coding, but right now that seems like it would make sense...

#

doesn't explain why the sleep breaks things

#

but I'mma go with "if it works, don't question it" in this case

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 10:28 AM

#

I'm probably reaching the point where I should eat something before I continue coding
yes. don't code while sleepy/hungry/angry

also, try to boil it down to the smallest reproducible issue, so we don't have to get what works and what doesn't

loud python Apr 26, 2020, 10:28 AM

#

well, the simplest example was that 3-liner up there

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 10:29 AM

#

and the 3 lines stuff works for me

if the sleep breaks things, you may be running your code in an unscheduled environment.

use sqf hintC format ["can suspend: %1", canSuspend]; to see if you can use sleep or waitUntil

loud python Apr 26, 2020, 10:31 AM

#

there's a 10 second delay in the script (for sleep 10), so I'm pretty sure that's not the case (also I know that I'm spawning the code)

#

_ = this spawn {
  sleep 1;
  _this playMoveNow "AmovPercMstpSnonWnonDnon_AmovPercMstpSsurWnonDnon";
  sleep 3; 
  _this playMoveNow "AmovPercMstpSsurWnonDnon_AmovPercMstpSnonWnonDnon";
};

Putting that in a units init field has the same effect; hands go up and never come down again

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 10:32 AM

#

that's what I told you,

you may have to switchMove to get out of the surrender animation

#

this spawn {
  sleep 1;
  _this playMoveNow "AmovPercMstpSnonWnonDnon_AmovPercMstpSsurWnonDnon";
  sleep 3; 
  _this switchMove "AmovPercMstpSsurWnonDnon_AmovPercMstpSnonWnonDnon";
};```

loud python Apr 26, 2020, 10:32 AM

#

yes, I just don't understand why 😂

#

btw. I tried it in the actual script and it works, thanks for the help 😄

#

but isn't playMoveNow supposed to do exactly that? End whatever animation is going on and play the new one? 🤔

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 10:34 AM

#

playMove* need a configured transition animation
the hands up anim seems to not have any exit animation configured, maybe so AI would stay in it whatever happens.

loud python Apr 26, 2020, 10:35 AM

#

hmmm... makes sense, I guess

#

one more (unrelated) question: is there something similar to an elseif, or do I have to put an if inside the else block?

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 10:38 AM

#

I was already running away

@loud python if you have ten thousand cases, use a switch

loud python Apr 26, 2020, 10:40 AM

#

I know, in most cases that's an option; it just seems like there might be cases where an elseif construct is the only reasonably simple way to express something

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 10:42 AM

#

rarely, but yes

loud python Apr 26, 2020, 10:48 AM

#

unless your switch-statements are as versatile as in Ruby, it's not that uncommon in my experience, but game scripting might just be a domain where it's much less common than elsewhere

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 10:51 AM

#

you usually cut down your functions for each of them to have a single responsibility (first SOLID principle); I do, but rarely encounter the need for an else if

loud python Apr 26, 2020, 10:56 AM

#

well, SOLID principles are only really meant for OOP anyway; but yeah, the single-responsibility-principle should be applied here too

#

but just because it doesn't happen often doesn't mean it never happens 😉

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 11:02 AM

#

yep, I admit encountering a case sometimes
but rarely

#

if it doesn't exist, heh

morning guys, does anyone have experience with forcing animations on players?

#

when I use switchmove (into the hostage anims) the player sometimes becomes invisible to himself

#

sometimes not

#

the switchmove is run from a client side script

#

hes visible on host/player

#

other clients can see him, he's just invisble to himself

#

ive tried remoteexecing the switch move everywhere, doesnt seem to make any difference

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 11:55 AM

and in Eden Editor, does the player become invisible?

cant check in edeneditor, tis is all done in script in mission

young current Apr 26, 2020, 11:57 AM

#

it is possible its not meant to be played on player so it might have issue where the animation gets too far from the origin of the character

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 11:57 AM

then boot an eden session and use the debug console, you will know

#

because ^ what HC said

finite sail Apr 26, 2020, 11:57 AM

#

yeah

#

its the occasional aspect of the issue that annoys me, sometimes it works, sometimes not

#

when you say, do it in EE.. load the mission into the editor, and in debug, exec the switchmove command

#

should i watch for the unit to animate immediately,

#

or start the mission?

#

mission loaded into ee, execd the switchmove on the unit, nothing happens

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 12:03 PM

#

no, just play the animation on player

just that, debugging is "strip the issue to its simplest and figure out what's wrong"

it works when locally execd on player

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 12:06 PM

#

and you don't get invisible to yourself?

finite sail Apr 26, 2020, 12:06 PM

#

no

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 12:06 PM

#

in 3rd person?

finite sail Apr 26, 2020, 12:06 PM

#

yes, still visible in 3rd

#

and 1st

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 12:07 PM

#

first person will always be visible
3rd person, try multiple times with multiple animations,
but I don't think the remoteExec is at fault here.

finite sail Apr 26, 2020, 12:07 PM

#

i agree, i dont suspect the remoteexec either

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 12:07 PM

#

perhaps it depends on terrain slope too (character moving further away from the camera)

finite sail Apr 26, 2020, 12:07 PM

#

mmm yah, that could explain the occasional aspect of the issue

#

player is setpos'd to a distant building

#

then anim'd

#

(other players are tasked with rescuing him)

#

hes put inside the building, always a floor above ground floor

#

so he's on level surface

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 12:09 PM

#

walls, perhaps

finite sail Apr 26, 2020, 12:10 PM

#

yeah could be, the script chooses a tall building, then chooses a buildingpos that it not outside or on ground floor

#

so it is often a little tight for space

#

but ive always seen anims very happy to clip through wall geo

#

without any problems

#

im gonna try playmove, see if letting the character do the whole anim will help. though playmove isn't affectsglobal, so i will have to remoteexec it

#

switchmove claims to be arguments global and effects global

#

playmove is effects local

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 12:13 PM

#

no

finite sail Apr 26, 2020, 12:13 PM

#

correction, swtichmove is args local

#

effects global

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 12:13 PM

#

yup

finite sail Apr 26, 2020, 12:13 PM

#

🙂

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 12:14 PM

#

We work the wiki enough, dang it! :v

finite sail Apr 26, 2020, 12:14 PM

#

hehe

#

the script is run from a client side script, not remoteexecd, not that I suspect that is the issue as I was having it when I WAS remoteexecing it from the server

#

its more likely to be a netcode unsync issue

#

anyway, ill try playmove

#

surreal peak Apr 26, 2020, 12:22 PM

#

Just want to check, since im helping a friend optimise some code, having a

while {true} do {};

statement is not a good thing, he's having trouble with only having like 1 FPS on the server

#

Also someone told me a while ago that using spawn to delay things with sleep is also not the best idea

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 12:31 PM

#

well, just sqf while {true} do {}; is obviously and useless and resourceful yes 😅
it all depends what is inside the do

surreal peak Apr 26, 2020, 12:33 PM

#

he was having an if condition checking for a variable and then acting on that variable

finite sail Apr 26, 2020, 12:34 PM

#

bah, playmove is no better.. will try the setpos before the anim

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 12:43 PM

#

@surreal peak while { sleep 1 ; true } if possible

sage flume Apr 26, 2020, 12:43 PM

#

removeGoggles _unit; so this actually covers all facewear?

finite sail Apr 26, 2020, 12:44 PM

#

not nvg

sage flume Apr 26, 2020, 12:44 PM

#

or should I say "removes all facewear"?

finite sail Apr 26, 2020, 12:44 PM

#

nvg is different

sage flume Apr 26, 2020, 12:45 PM

#

it always is for some reason. I hate those cause I can't get rid of them on some of my ports

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 12:45 PM

#

removeGoggles removes everything defined as goggles yes

This project is working ok but I will work on my other one later

rotund aurora Apr 26, 2020, 12:57 PM

#

anyone has a kind of "login camera skript" so the camera moves from above into the char like gta does?

surreal peak Apr 26, 2020, 1:04 PM

#

How would I go about stopping animals from walking through objects like walls?

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 1:04 PM

#

animal setDamage 1

#

@rotund aurora you can do it easily with https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Camera_Tutorial and this channel 😉

rotund aurora Apr 26, 2020, 1:07 PM

#

thx :)!

finite sail Apr 26, 2020, 1:13 PM

#

ok, i got it sussed 🙂

#

its the setpos of the player to the buildingpos.. that must happen before the anim

#

if switchmove .. setpos... player becomes invisible to himself

#

if setpos (short sleep) switchmove.. he can see his own model in both 3rd and 1st

#

we were rigth not to suspect the remoteexec 🙂

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 1:17 PM

#

oooh, neat to know indeed

finite sail Apr 26, 2020, 1:18 PM

#

yeah

@winter rose D:< Is there a function which says if there is a wall infront of someone?

jagged wing Apr 26, 2020, 1:56 PM

#

So ive got a cargo plane that i want to take off only when its full, but i dont know how many players are going to be in the server. Any advice

surreal peak Apr 26, 2020, 1:59 PM

#

when the cargo plane is full? Or when all players available are inside of it

jagged wing Apr 26, 2020, 2:01 PM

#

When all availible are in

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 2:08 PM

#

private _isEveryoneAboard = allPlayers findIf { !(_x in _myPlane) } == -1;
```@jagged wing

#

@surreal peak it's all about AI and detection, you could check something with lineIntersects though

jagged wing Apr 26, 2020, 2:11 PM

#

@winter rose and that goes in the init

loud python Apr 26, 2020, 3:37 PM

#

quick question: Can I do something like this?

private _variable = "I'm in outer scope ;P";
private _subroutine = { _variable = "I'm still visible here" };
[_some, _other, _arguments] call _subroutine;

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 3:40 PM

#

yep

#

it will edit the outer scope variable

loud python Apr 26, 2020, 3:40 PM

#

hmmm...

#

there's no real lexical scoping though, is there?

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 3:43 PM

#

what do you mean?

#

this case you present is the exact reason why there is the red box in https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/private

loud python Apr 26, 2020, 3:45 PM

#

I assumed that was mostly for if, for and other such commands

#

dunno, is there even a distinction between those and call?

#

in many languages subroutines and blocks are clearly distinct

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 3:46 PM

#

C#, JS, Java, all have sub-scopes using upper-scope variables

#

if you want the same name but define a new variable, use private

#

call executes the code in the current scope
to have a new scope (and a new handle), use spawn

loud python Apr 26, 2020, 3:47 PM

#

Yes, they're all dynamically scoped languages

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 3:48 PM

#

now if we are talking about Pascal… :p

#

I can only speak for the languages I have used (…and PHP)

loud python Apr 26, 2020, 3:49 PM

#

oh pascal has pretty much the same scoping model as C as far as I remember, except that you can define parameters as call-by-reference

#

SQF though... I don't know, maybe I just need a good tutorial

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 3:50 PM

#

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/private#Examples
Example 4 should help?

loud python Apr 26, 2020, 3:50 PM

#

it doesn't do closures though, right?

private "_subroutine";
call {
  private _inner = 3;
  _subroutine = { hint _inner };
};
call _subroutine;

This doesn't work, right?

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 3:51 PM

#

I suppose it should, _inner might be defined in the upper-scope

#

it's like doing```sqf
private "_subroutine";
private _inner = 3;
_subroutine = { hint _inner };
call _subroutine;

loud python Apr 26, 2020, 3:52 PM

#

shouldn't _inner just be defined in the scope of the code block being called though?

#

so after call returns, _inner should be out of scope

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 3:53 PM

#

call doesn't create a scope; it uses the one it has been called from

loud python Apr 26, 2020, 3:53 PM

#

Example 4 disagrees though 🤔

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 3:55 PM

#

it's… special.
I think that's the very distinction we are hitting here
let me check in Arma before asserting other things

#

private "_subroutine";
call {
  private _inner = 3;
  _subroutine = { hint _inner };
};
call _subroutine;
```doesn't work indeed @loud python

#

undefined variable _inner

loud python Apr 26, 2020, 3:59 PM

#

hmmm... sort of looks like dynamic scoping

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 4:02 PM

#

(and of course, the following works)```sqf
private "_subroutine";
call {
private _inner = 3;
_subroutine = { hint str _inner };
call _subroutine;
};

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

if in config, #arma3_config

smoky verge Apr 26, 2020, 5:16 PM

#

yeah that was my second question
I guess that only works in configs and not inits?

winter rose Apr 26, 2020, 5:17 PM

#

yup, you would only be defining a global variable here
