well its like when i use attachTo for the helicopter, and i move the vehicle i attached the heli to, it like flickers between invis and not, and its only when i was using this heli

anyone can direct me to a good IR strobe script without using ace?

exotic flax Jun 30, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

wait.... the problem is "use a helicopter for hide object", but the script doesn't include anything related to hiding an object thonk

outer fjord Jun 30, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

@vernal dust You wanting them to be dynamic or simply attached outright?

vernal dust Jun 30, 2020, 6:00 PM

#

i just want them to be in the action menu to just put on and off

#

also for the ai if possible

@outer fjord

i found one script but its outdated

You have to add your own AddAction though.

#

Also, I'm not sure if they switched it recently, but can't you lock onto IR strobes? Won't AI drop bombs on them?

winter rose Jun 30, 2020, 6:05 PM

#

there are both IR strobes and IR markers iirc? unless it was an A2 distinction

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 6:05 PM

will have to see

#

i'll also check the targeting thing

okay ill try to see if i can do it somehow lol

you can target IR strobes

is the anything before it?

there's some whitespace character there

short fossil Jun 30, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

So what do you mean?

#

exactly

fair drum Jun 30, 2020, 6:39 PM

#

put three tildes before your code and three after your code when putting it in discord

#

makes every character the same size for easier reading

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 6:39 PM

you copied some character into your code that isnt utf-8

so this is what it would look like

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 6:40 PM

the code

#

@short fossil can we have the file?

would have to have the file to confirm the incorrect character

but im pretty sure that's what it's complaining baout

short fossil Jun 30, 2020, 6:41 PM

Cant post the file somehow

exotic flax Jun 30, 2020, 6:42 PM

#

at the end of the array (after the last unnecessary br) there's a comma too much
are you sure you don't have some weird character in the hidden name?

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 6:43 PM

@short fossil just dm it to me

short fossil Jun 30, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

Okay

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 6:43 PM

yeah, remove the extra comma aswell

that's not needed

short fossil Jun 30, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

at the end of the array (after the last unnecessary br) there's a comma too much

are you sure you don't have some weird character in the hidden name?
no I don't have a weird character, it is on purpose

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

and can/will cause issues

fair drum Jun 30, 2020, 6:44 PM

#

can I do a if () then {} else {} exitwith {} statement?

#

or would it have to be a if () then {} else { exitwith {} } statement

winter rose Jun 30, 2020, 6:45 PM

#

that would make no sense?
do this instead:

if (!x) exitWith {};

// rest```

#

in coding, you usually want to get the "bastard" cases out quickly

e.g

private int divide(int a, int b) {
  if (b == 0) {
    return 0;
  };
  if (b < 0) {
    b = -b;
  }
  return a/b;
}

fair drum Jun 30, 2020, 6:54 PM

#

i can make variables lines of code right?

winter rose Jun 30, 2020, 6:59 PM

#

?

fair drum Jun 30, 2020, 7:01 PM

#

variable = {id like you to do this}

#

then call that later?

winter rose Jun 30, 2020, 7:13 PM

#

yes

#

private _condition = alive player;
private _effect = { player setDamage 1 };
if _condition then _effect;

fair drum Jun 30, 2020, 7:15 PM

#

ill do that then. can save me some lines

jade abyss Jun 30, 2020, 7:19 PM

#

In the beginning: Don't mind the amount of lines (or how the code looks like). Just make it work first, then think about optimization later.
Just get the hang of it first, before you make it too hard for yourself from the beginning.
@fair drum

winter rose Jun 30, 2020, 7:20 PM

#

Make it work
Make it readable
Optimise then

exotic flax Jun 30, 2020, 7:20 PM

Rewrite everything because it's outdated

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 7:20 PM

i cant even...

{ _x setPos [getPos thisTrigger] } forEach allPlayers !(in thisList);
im trying to teleport all players that aren't in a trigger's area, can someone help me format this?

#

wait:
{ if !(_x in thisList) then {_x setPos [getPos thisTrigger]} } forEach allPlayers;
still doesn't work but seems closer

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 10:18 PM

#

use select

#

where _x is not in thisList

exotic flax Jun 30, 2020, 10:18 PM

#

{} foreach (allPlayers - thisList);

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 10:19 PM

#

that too

#

make sure to avoid teleporting zeus

#

and avoid HC

#

something like private _headlessClients = entities "HeadlessClient_F"; private _humanPlayers = allPlayers - _headlessClients;

ornate prairie Jun 30, 2020, 10:20 PM

the mission uses neither of those so should be fine

#

Lou, can you hint me something

#

i bet this would be a model question

winter rose Jun 30, 2020, 10:34 PM

#

(as for the when… I for one have absolutely no idea. I wish in the next month, but I would guess (at least?) two.)

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 10:34 PM

#

but why are the selection positions for doors in different places?

#

like sometimes it's at the bottom of the hinge-side

#

and sometimes at the bottom of the handle-side

#

it's really inconvenient

#

since im trying to allign an offset with the handle

winter rose Jun 30, 2020, 10:36 PM

#

I would say, quite surprisingly you may find, unless you have a hunch about interesting events surrounding such aspects of life and conversations, that my answer on this very particular matter is: dunno

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 10:36 PM

#

fair enough

#

i'll try to find a rule in it

#

so i can perform some sort of logic to get the correct offset

#

and it always seems to be one or the other

#

REALLY?!

#

now it's at the top handle corner

#

XD

#

i give up

#

the action is going on the center of the door

#

wait, but now i need to calculate that somehow

#

notlikemeow

#

ok, i have made a conclusion

winter rose Jun 30, 2020, 10:38 PM

#

Distance from the floor maybe?

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 10:39 PM

#

the door-selections position seems to be entirely dependent on what the model-technician had on their pizza last friday

#

can do that because 2nd story doors

#

doors aren't in set elevations in arma 3

#

i wish they were

winter rose Jun 30, 2020, 10:39 PM

#

floor, not ground

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 10:39 PM

#

floor is not a selection

#

i cant get where the floor is

#

well, maybe lineintersect, but that'¨s too heavy

restive leaf Jun 30, 2020, 10:41 PM

#

the door-selections position seems to be entirely dependent on what the model-technician had on their pizza last friday I have thought the same on doors and other things too

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 10:41 PM

#

can we get animation-points of selections?

#

so i can determine where the hinge-point is

winter rose Jun 30, 2020, 10:42 PM

#

I don't think so no

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 10:43 PM

#

god damn alternative syntax comes in 2.00

#

😠

#

i cant use the LOD name

#

so i can only get the selectionNames from the res lod

winter rose Jun 30, 2020, 10:44 PM

#

what you could do is detect with lineIntersect once per door and store the "up/middle/down" door selection status with e.g setVariable

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 10:44 PM

#

and iterate that on every single door on every single building on the map

#

wakana_scared

#

i mean, you could

winter rose Jun 30, 2020, 10:44 PM

#

on the nearestBuilding maybe

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 10:44 PM

#

but the memory and time

#

yeah, but then it becomes too heavy

#

im thinking of using cursorobject

winter rose Jun 30, 2020, 10:45 PM

#

that too

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 10:45 PM

#

or cursortarget

winter rose Jun 30, 2020, 10:45 PM

#

You can even remove variables when leaving

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 10:45 PM

#

compile a list of door positions for a building when the player hovers over the building for the first time?

#

then set a trigger on the building and remove the variables when the player leaves the building

winter rose Jun 30, 2020, 10:50 PM

#

or make a dictionary based on building types 😄

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 10:51 PM

#

Lou...

#

therea re selections for door-handles...

#

can you pass me the hammer?

#

not for the enoch buildings, though

#

AAAAA

#

maybe this is a dayz-devs only thing

#

nope

#

malden buildings share the same idiocracy

#

and handle positions are always 0,0,0 in the model for some reason

#

memory has acis

#

axis*

#

i might need to switch to dev branch

still forum Jun 30, 2020, 10:58 PM

#

@still forum any idea when we can get access to 1.99 script-goodies?
@ebon citrus
Yep.

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 10:59 PM

#

to get those sweet lods

still forum Jun 30, 2020, 10:59 PM

#

I'm quite sure the commands you're talking about aren't even on dev-branch yet

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 11:00 PM

#

damn, memory points dont rotate with the model

#

AAAAA

#

res is great, but it's not consistent

#

memory is consistent, but doesnt rotate with the model

#

maybe i can calculate the position of the handle offset if i know the memory trigger positionb

#

yes, because the trigger is always the center of the door

#

rather

#

if i use the axis

#

i can determine the direction too

#

since the axis are the hinges of the door in memory, i can determine where the handle should be

#

delightfully devilish, Seymour

#

now i need to determine the rotation of the door

#

trigger position is a good start, but i cant be sure which way the door opens

#

door of a kind always hinge the same way

#

yeah, no, i cant use the hinge, since some doors and especially gates hinge different

#

i wish the handle-selection would exist

winter rose Jun 30, 2020, 11:10 PM

#

it is an animation source, can't we have the position from this?

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 11:10 PM

#

you tell me

#

also, not all doors have handles

#

i might just scope out the offsets manually

#

really tedious, but eh

#

i'll write a script that gives me the offsets in mode-space from shooting at the handle

#

nyanxd

#

no, but that still doesnt help

#

because i just need to know which way the door turns and how much

#

this would be so simple if the position of the door was always at the handle-edge

winter rose Jun 30, 2020, 11:12 PM

#

animate them all on mission start ^^

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 11:12 PM

#

yeah, and then get start and end positions

#

for the doors

#

wont be as smooth as i'd want to, but meh

#

beggars cant be choosers

#

i'll need to write a thing that records all the doors and then a parser to parse the information

#

and i need to manually go and shoot each door

#

but im lazy

#

so i shall keep on looking for a smarter way

winter rose Jun 30, 2020, 11:15 PM

#

you could have a hardcoded list, but it would prevent mod buildings compatibility

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 11:15 PM

#

can i use animationSourcePhase on building doors?

#

seems like i can

#

yeah, ive got this

fair drum Jun 30, 2020, 11:21 PM

#

So after a break I decided to revisit the suicide bomber disguise script I was struggling with. I think I may have figured it out.

in initPlayerLocal.sqf I have:

//Add action for disguise script 

player addAction [

    "Disguise",
    "disguise.sqf",
    6
]

which points to disguise.sqf which is this:
https://pastebin.com/k7fLfd4B

which points to detected.sqf which is this:
https://pastebin.com/AvvG6CKD

basically instead of trying to hassle with having it all be one waitUntil loop that has to "re-get" the variable of the unit after the player dies when it is all run serverside, I have simply just added an action which should keep everything local as all of these scripts are run correct?

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 11:23 PM

#

is there a command to get the animation source names of a model?

winter rose Jun 30, 2020, 11:24 PM

#

animationNames iirc?

#

(not on PC rn)

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 11:24 PM

#

doesnt work

#

i mean, it gives the animation names

#

but those are not the correct ones

winter rose Jun 30, 2020, 11:24 PM

#

it gives two arrays

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 11:24 PM

#

animateSource uses name defined by source property.

#

it gives just one array

winter rose Jun 30, 2020, 11:25 PM

#

mb, I was thinking of another one then

#

Ah, maybe hitpoints stuff.

exotic flax Jun 30, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

animationNames gives the classnames in AnimationSources

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

can i retrieve source property somehow

#

i see

#

so it's a cfgmoves?

#

or...

winter rose Jun 30, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

CfgVehicles >> etc

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 11:27 PM

#

i see

#

on another hand, this wont help me get the rotation in the world i need

#

damn

winter rose Jun 30, 2020, 11:27 PM

#

see https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/animateDoor

animateDoor

exotic flax Jun 30, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

what are you trying to do?

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

get the rotation of a door in world-degrees

exotic flax Jun 30, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

meowhuh

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

so that i can compute the location of the handle on the door in world-coordinates

#

and do note, enoch buildings dont have handle-selections

winter rose Jun 30, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

you can (partially) use animation state? 0..1?

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

it has the "door_1_handle_rot_1" animation

#

but it doesnt have a handle selection

winter rose Jun 30, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

door* animation state

exotic flax Jun 30, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

you could try https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/animationSourcePhase (see example 2)

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

nope

#

that's relative to the object

#

and the object is the door

winter rose Jun 30, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

hmm… sure about that?

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

100%

winter rose Jun 30, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

(okido)

exotic flax Jun 30, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

object is building, since doors are not standalone objects (afaik)

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

but the animation phase is relative to the door's original phase

#

which is 0

exotic flax Jun 30, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

so?

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

the command returns a value between 0 and 1

#

1 being full animation

#

for a normal door, about 90 degrees

#

this works on vehicle turrets because their rotational full animation is 360 degrees

#

and their axis is the vehicle

#

so converting 0...1 to degrees returns the turrets relative direction to the vehicle

#

because the turret's 0 is always facing forwards

#

but a door's 0 is NOT always facing forwards

exotic flax Jun 30, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

and if you know the direction of the object you can calculate the degrees in-world

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

you cant for a house

#

because you would have to know the direction the door faces

#

not the direction the house faces

#

if i had the direction the door faces, this would already be solved

#

hmmm

#

i might jsut give up pursuing the idea

#

if bohemia could just be consistent with their doors

exotic flax Jun 30, 2020, 11:36 PM

#

Well, that data SHOULD be available, otherwise the game also doesn't know how and where to turn a door ;)
Question is; where is this data stored, and afaik is this in the model itself (part of model.cfg)

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 11:36 PM

#

MenheraDamn

#

@exotic flax we cant access the data

#

it's stored in the p3d

exotic flax Jun 30, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

I know..

#

that's why I said: It's available, just not accessable 😉

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

it's available to the engine, not us

#

unfortunately

#

and this whole issue because BI cant be consistent

#

sigh_why

exotic flax Jun 30, 2020, 11:38 PM

#

BI is consistent, because it isn't available to any models

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 11:39 PM

#

not that

#

the selection positions arent consistent

#

the selection position of a door could be any corner of the door

#

depending on god knows what

winter rose Jun 30, 2020, 11:40 PM

#

hardcoded list it is then?

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 11:41 PM

#

but even that's a bad solution

fair drum Jun 30, 2020, 11:41 PM

#

anyway to clear an active hint? don't want it to be there the full 30 seconds or whatever it is

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 11:41 PM

#

hintsilent ""

#

or whatever the command was

winter rose Jun 30, 2020, 11:41 PM

#

hintSilent ""

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 11:45 PM

#

Hug it

#

im attaching an object to the door selections

#

and using that objects world position

#

nyanrunning

#

welp, that doesnt work

#

oh yeah

#

i cant attach to selection

exotic flax Jun 30, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

_house = nearestBuilding getMarkerPos "mrkBldg1";
{
   if (_x find "door" >= 0 and _x find "handle" < 0) then {

something like this?

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 11:50 PM

#

yes, i've done this

#

the issue is that the coodrinates that selectionPosition returns for doors are not consistent

#

so i cant use them to figure out where the handle would be

#

i could use the trigger memory point

#

because that's always at the center of the doorway

#

but i would preferably like to have the position follow the door

#

which it would do, if the door's position would always be at the bottom edge of the handle-side

#

but that's the issue

#

the door selection's position could be any one of the corners of the door

exotic flax Jun 30, 2020, 11:53 PM

#

well, if it has a "handle" you can use that, otherwise just center of mass

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 11:54 PM

#

handle is not consistent to all models

#

what is center of mass?

#

how can i get it?

#

i mean, i know what center of mass is

exotic flax Jun 30, 2020, 11:54 PM

#

it's the center of the object (in this case door)

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 11:54 PM

#

but how would i determine it from a single point

exotic flax Jun 30, 2020, 11:55 PM

#

so the "door" location is a corner, and not the center of the door?

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 11:55 PM

#

yep

#

it's one of the corners

#

which one? it's random

#

apparently it could be the vertice that was binarized first

#

or something along those lines

#

@winter rose is it possible to see how commands function or are they engine-side?

exotic flax Jun 30, 2020, 11:56 PM

#

commands are engine, functions are in PBO's

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 11:56 PM

#

yep

#

thought so

#

so it's in BI's hands

#

do you think someone would look into fixing this if i ask nicely?

#

making the command consistent with the outer edge of the door

exotic flax Jun 30, 2020, 11:57 PM

#

you can always create a ticket in the Feedback Tracker, but I doubt it will be fixed since it doesn't break anything

winter rose Jun 30, 2020, 11:57 PM

#

Not a chance, I believe it would imply changing the models

exotic flax Jun 30, 2020, 11:57 PM

#

and it will most likely require to rebuild all building models instead of some code

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 11:58 PM

#

or have the function work differently

winter rose Jun 30, 2020, 11:58 PM

#

Having new commands, however…

ebon citrus Jun 30, 2020, 11:58 PM

#

it wouldn't require rebuilding models

#

they have the p3d data engine-side

#

theyre somehow pulling this data

#

welp, for the time being, i must work with what i have

#

i can get the prompt on the center of the door, but which side it will be on is up to BI

exotic flax Jul 1, 2020, 12:00 AM

#

hmmm... how about https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/selectionPosition ?

ebon citrus Jul 1, 2020, 12:00 AM

#

exactly what i have been using

exotic flax Jul 1, 2020, 12:00 AM

#

also with LOD name?

#

syntax 2

ebon citrus Jul 1, 2020, 12:01 AM

#

yes

#

i've gone through all the applicable lods

#

and i am actually using the memory-lod to get the height

#

do you think someone at BI would throw me a bone engine-side if i did all the work to have an application where this would have to work?

Not before ARMA 4 probably...

#

And are you looking at ARMA 3 buildings or ARMA 2 ported ones...

ebon citrus Jul 1, 2020, 12:10 AM

#

all buildings

#

they have the same inconsistency

#

arma 2 ported, arma 3 vanilla, enoch

restive leaf Jul 1, 2020, 12:11 AM

#

im being a little bit entitled, though

#

i guess i should just feel happy with what i have

restive leaf Jul 1, 2020, 12:14 AM

#

But it would be nice that when/if ARMA 4 happens that they are consistant with this (and also allow you to easily access the door id for a building so that you can have persistent locked doors through a restart, i.e. having global, unique identifiers for doors)

jade abyss Jul 1, 2020, 12:14 AM

At least the cup ones should have the same namings (as A3)

restive leaf Jul 1, 2020, 12:15 AM

Didn't they English everything in Enoch?

jade abyss Jul 1, 2020, 12:16 AM

No idea since when, but the stuff i have seen was just english (at least for buildings*)

#

hence the reason why i updated the houses in CUP, a couple years ago 😄

#

Consistency etc

ebon citrus Jul 1, 2020, 12:45 AM

#

@restive leaf doors have unique names

#

well, the door selections do

#

i dont think youre allowed to make non-unique doors in the model

restive leaf Jul 1, 2020, 12:52 AM

#

No... but without going to each door and running a script for every unique building model you have no clue what that door is called... And then working out how to store that in a persistent database so it stays locked through a restart of the server... Well, I had better things to do that were more important

ebon citrus Jul 1, 2020, 12:52 AM

#

the door is called "door_1", "door_2"...etc.

#

and the variable is bis_disabled_[selection name]

#

i mean, i can do this for you, if you really need it?

#

you can get all the selections with selectionNames

#

do remember, doors that have 2 rotating bodies, are called door_[x]a...b

#

but you can lock both doors with door_[x]

#

so just edit out the extra characters for locking

restive leaf Jul 1, 2020, 12:56 AM

#

I know about locking... But yeah, if you give me something to store in a DB and be able to be lockpicked then great

ebon citrus Jul 1, 2020, 12:57 AM

is this a request?

ebon citrus Jul 1, 2020, 12:57 AM

in what way would you like it? get variables for all buildings or save when locked/unlocked?

restive leaf Jul 1, 2020, 12:58 AM

#

So long as I have info that can be reapplied on server start

#

Save when locked... update when unlocked

jade abyss Jul 1, 2020, 1:29 AM

#

until you run into the issue, that some objects will stay unlocked, even when you set it *to locked.

#

Since they are not loaded on the client, so on the init you run into the issue -> setVariable is beeing set on a nullObject

#

Then you think about alternatives.

@fair drum have you defined a variable with setVariable in the missionnamespace woth that name?

fair drum Jul 1, 2020, 6:00 AM

negative, still learning these getVariable related commands. am I able to set a variable on a packed uav that is on the back of a unit? since its not an object I can really click on in the editor to see that variable box

setVariable getVariable aren't for set/get config vars

@fair drum what

digital hollow Jul 1, 2020, 6:12 AM

Unpacking a UAV counts as assembling a weapon.

ebon citrus Jul 1, 2020, 6:12 AM

#

what's a "mission assigned variable"

#

😅

fair drum Jul 1, 2020, 6:41 AM

#

thx ampersand

idk how to describe it I guess. like if you place a unit and don't give it a variable in the editor, doesn't the game just create its own variable for that object?

ebon citrus Jul 1, 2020, 6:44 AM

#

Yes

#

But it's not accessible through the missionnamespace

#

And to confirm

#

The UAV does not exist on the players back

#

It's just a backpack with a convenient model

#

The uav gets created when you assemble it

fair drum Jul 1, 2020, 6:52 AM

#

kk, thx ampersand for the point to where I needed to go

if (!isNil "UAV_Operator") then {

    UAV_Operator addEventHandler ["weaponAssembled", {
        params ["_unit", "_staticWeapon"];
        _staticWeapon disableTIEquipment true;
    }]
};

works perfectly

winter rose Jul 1, 2020, 12:23 PM

no, you use remoteControl on an AI unit in the UAV

#

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

slender schooner Jul 1, 2020, 12:24 PM

#

the mod "sspcm" gives you access to the virtual vehicle garage. If you spawn a vehicle, and enter it, then change it to a uav, you are effectively inside the uav

There's no event to execute sqf on removal, but you just can execute sqf in the same scope of removal

@bronze temple
which "removal"? do you want to remove the object by script, or are you waiting for the player to throw/drop it?

exotic flax Jul 1, 2020, 4:36 PM

use InventoryOpened and InventoryClosed EH's and check for difference?

  removeitem;
  execVM "yourscript.sqf"

Maybe because there's no heli1D?

slate fulcrum Jul 1, 2020, 4:49 PM

there is, but still should show when the trigger for the variable to turn true fires. The heli is supposed to get to the LZ and then the variable playerDropping turns true in the trigger but in the small chance that the heli pilot is killed before it reaches de LZ I want the action to show or the player can't drop. So it works if there's 1 condition but as soon as there's an alternate condition it never shows even if the variable returns true.

Hey guys

#

If I wanna make a kick down door script

#

How do would I go about

#

“Getting” the door in front of player

#

So play animation before kicking down door

#

And then it would open the door

exotic flax Jul 2, 2020, 1:10 AM

#

I would say:

get the door and make sure it is locked
add an action with addAction to the door
action runs a script with animation, unlock the door and animate it open

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 1:10 AM

You can get the position from the memory lod too

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 1:11 AM

#

You can get specific selections from those lods

The trigger of a door is usually at the center of the door always at the same height

Hi everyone!
I try to delete diary record from basic "diary" subject and i can't do that.

private _task =  player createDiaryRecord ["diary", ["Test", "Test"]];
player removeDiaryRecord ["diary", _task];

And my test record stays in my diary.
What am i do wrong?

Upd. fix variable.

winter rose Jul 2, 2020, 1:34 AM

#

Tried "Test" instead of _task @lost copper?

lost copper Jul 2, 2020, 1:47 AM

#

Use string name of record? No, not like that.
But:

_task =  player createDiaryRecord ["diary", ["Test", "Test"]];
hint str(_task);

This returns test, without quotes.
So i try to:

player removeDiaryRecord ["diary", test];
// and also
player removeDiaryRecord ["diary", "test"];

with no success.
I will try to your variant later after work, @winter rose. Thanks for help.

hello, so i have this script and i want to make the ai completely disabled with it, can anyone help out

@surreal epoch pastebin

surreal epoch Jul 2, 2020, 2:59 AM

#

idk how to do that, what do i use

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 2:59 AM

#

Pastebin, just google it

surreal epoch Jul 2, 2020, 3:00 AM

#

ok tgis is weird, what about it?

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 3:00 AM

#

You paste text in it

#

And then share the link

#

As for your question

#

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

#

Use this to disable portion of an AI

surreal epoch Jul 2, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

i dont know how to implement it on the code, since i am not very familiar with scripting in arma i dont know where i would be doing stuff wrong

#

i know i am supposed to use disableAI, but idk where and how to put it in the code

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 3:04 AM

#

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

#

Take a look here

surreal epoch Jul 2, 2020, 3:14 AM

#

i still need help on where and how i would put it in the script

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 3:22 AM

#

qthapp

#

In the script, ofcourse

#

@surreal epoch if you want someone to write the script for you, then just ask

#

But you'll need to do that in #creators_recruiting

surreal epoch Jul 2, 2020, 3:31 AM

#

its more than just writing it down for this instance, i would like to learn how to put stuff like this or at least know how i would be butchering it, i learned that if i put down _this it is related to the object, when i put _this disableAI ''all'' it does exactly what i want but when i try to put it in the SQF it does not do anything

#

so what i did with it was just puting _this disableAI ''all'' or disableAI ''all'' but it didnt do nothing, even taking dostop off and switching it for disableAI ''all'' didnt do anything

#

and idk where to start or where i can find a video to help me with it

#

i dont think this is a common questions so i cannot find any videos about it, also i dont want to recruit someone to ask someone to do it for me since i dont have anything to offer

warm hedge Jul 2, 2020, 3:35 AM

#

And how do you execute the script?

surreal epoch Jul 2, 2020, 3:36 AM

#

its on the sqf wich is activated from addaction

warm hedge Jul 2, 2020, 3:38 AM

#

That's why it won't work, _this could be anything but in addAction it's an array not an object. I'm not reading the context so IDK what are you trying to do though

surreal epoch Jul 2, 2020, 3:39 AM

#

sorry, what i am trying to do is spawn casualties so the medics can medic them in the training without having to get a third player to shoot

#

everything works as intended, i have tested multiple times but due to the mods that i use the ai will patch itself even without items, so as a fix for that i thought about taking the ai away from the npc thus using disebleAI

warm hedge Jul 2, 2020, 3:40 AM

#

...In ACE environment?

surreal epoch Jul 2, 2020, 3:40 AM

#

yes

warm hedge Jul 2, 2020, 3:41 AM

#

Then IDK. I don't use ACE

surreal epoch Jul 2, 2020, 3:42 AM

#

well, it is an ACE environment but i just want to add the command line disableAI to the npc that spawns, the question does not necessarily has stuff to do with ACE

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 3:51 AM

#

@surreal epoch make an effort, atleast

#

Then come and ask why it doesnt work

surreal epoch Jul 2, 2020, 3:51 AM

#

sorry if the script wasnt clear the problem that i have is within this command line https://pastebin.com/6M4YJiVL

#

i am

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 3:52 AM

#

Dont just come in and ask "write script fir me". Do that in #creators_recruiting

#

Where is that script executed?

surreal epoch Jul 2, 2020, 3:53 AM

#

there is an object that has the addAction function that calls in this sqf

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 3:53 AM

#

What is passed in the call?

#

Also "this" doesnt exist in the context youre tryint to use it in

surreal epoch Jul 2, 2020, 3:54 AM

#

i am sorry, i dont understand your question

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 3:54 AM

#

You can pretty much only use "this" in 3den editor object init field

surreal epoch Jul 2, 2020, 3:54 AM

#

oh, thank you

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 3:54 AM

#

Post the addaction

#

Pastebin or codeblock

surreal epoch Jul 2, 2020, 3:56 AM

#

this addAction["Create Patient","Scripts\creatept.sqf"];

#

the code works as intended, at least the one i posted

#

issue is that idk how to properly implement disableAI within the SQF

#

i only know trough eden

#

what i am trying to do is add disableAI to the script

is it possible to change the music that plays when a mission ends? It seems like something thats hardcoded

#

hey guys

#

can anyone help me out in vc

#

through screenshare? its regarding a door script

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 7:59 AM

#

@tough abyss why dont you post it and have us look at it?

#

@surreal epoch try to do it and then ask when you fail

#

it's important to try before you ask for help, otherwise you learn nothing

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:00 AM

#

ok here so

#

I want to use it in a multiplayer environment, therefore I have a temporary add action client side only

#

the script is not even going to the action itself

#

https://pastebin.com/eGgN6Y85

#

I have tried many versions of this

#

looked at other things but can't seem to get it to work

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:01 AM

#

?

#

can you post the addaction?

#

ummm...

#

couple of things

#

playAnimation doesnt exist

#

"kick" is not defined

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:04 AM

#

right Ik that

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:04 AM

#

and i dont think that's how you use that function

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:04 AM

#

sorry forgot to mention

#

that whole line

#

I have this

#

player switchmove "AwopPercMstpSgthWrflDnon_End1";

#

player addAction ["Knockdown Door", "knockdown.sqf"];

#

thats in the init^

#

I just put everything in one file

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:08 AM

#

in the init of what?

#

@tough abyss

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:08 AM

#

singleplayer mission

#

ok so I found out that

#

private _door = [objNull, 0]; does nothing useful

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:10 AM

#

no, but where in init is that addaction?

#

in the init of a unit or in the init.sqf?

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:12 AM

#

init.sqf

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:13 AM

#

yeah, no

#

no wonder it's not wokring

#

there is no "this" in init.sqf

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:13 AM

#

no like the add action is working itself

#

the script isnt

#

the knockdown one

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:13 AM

#

first of all, where do you want that action to be?

#

a specific door or the player?

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:14 AM

https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/229888-door-knockdown-script/?tab=comments#comment-3412195

I posted it here too

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:14 AM

you can use "this" in init.sqf

#

so either youre not saying the truth, or the sky has fallen

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:14 AM

#

I have player addAction

#

and thats it

in my init

this is my description

i think i was seeing things

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:15 AM

#

all good

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:15 AM

#

i dont even know how that happened

#

yeah, ok

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:15 AM

#

yeah I thought this was gonna be a simple script

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:15 AM

#

so the action is added

#

your next problem is with the animation

#

can you post the script youre using now?

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:16 AM

#

well the animation doesn't run because the script before that somehow breaks

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:16 AM

#

how does it break?

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:16 AM

#

ok so heres the whole file with all the versions I have used

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:16 AM

#

can you post the script and give the error message?

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:16 AM

#

ok I will use the script from the paste

#

https://pastebin.com/bg3TdgsU

#

Ill be using this

#

its also not going to the hint when the door is unlocked

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:19 AM

#

i dont think works [_door] call BIS_fnc_DoorOpen;

#

not sure thought

#

there is no documentation on that

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:21 AM

#

yh im skeptical on that

#

I looked at other scripts

#

people use "animate"

#

yeah the only error message is ;

#

missing ;

#

so I guess the issue lies somewhere else

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:21 AM

#

it wont work either way

#

check this out: _door = [objNull, 0];

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:21 AM

#

yeh ik

#

idk what to change that ot

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:22 AM

#

then you do this _door getVariable [format ["bis_disabled_%1", _door], 0];

#

that wont work

#

you cant getvariable from an array

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:22 AM

#

how would I open the door then

#

because I have to check the lock state

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:22 AM

#

you need to get the door to open it

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:23 AM

#

yeah but I want to check the lock state too and I found that to check it

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:23 AM

#

this code is weird on so many levels i dont know what the bguy who wrote it was trying to accomplish

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:23 AM

#

well I wrote it by myself but that particular line

#

I took from if you google

#

sushi breaching script

#

Idk how he got it to work he got so many more lines and files

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:23 AM

#

first of all, you want to get the building

#

that way you can get the variable state of the specific door from it

winter rose Jul 2, 2020, 8:24 AM

#

so, again: there is no "door" object
the doors you see are part of the building model

so cursorTarget isKindOf "door" won't work

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:24 AM

#

oh ok I see

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:24 AM

#

and _door is an array

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:24 AM

#

so nearestObject

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:24 AM

#

you cant use "getVariable" on an array

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:24 AM

#

ok

#

ok someone on the post responded with some code

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:25 AM

#

first of all, what is it that you want to do, exactly?

#

explain the concept

#

i see that you want to unlock a door by kicking

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:25 AM

#

yeah

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:25 AM

#

but what is the application idea

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:26 AM

#

like genuinely that

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:26 AM

#

like how would you perform this action

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:26 AM

#

either by a gui or just the add action

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:26 AM

#

explain what the player would do

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:26 AM

#

they would either call the UI and select the option "kick down door"

#

or for milsim

#

add action but

#

I had an idea

#

to have the add action only be "seeable" if in vicinity of a door but thats a different story

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:27 AM

#

then add the action to the door itself?

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:27 AM

#

I just want this to work first

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:27 AM

#

is this a specific door or every door in general?

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:28 AM

#

here : I want something like this :

#

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdx4DB80t-8

#

maybe some addon implementation in the future too but for now just get the script working

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:29 AM

#

why not use this one then?

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:30 AM

#

they haven't released it I think and I want to make a simple one

#

idk I don't wanna just paste tbh

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:31 AM

#

erm...

#

still, again, question. Do you want this to be general or just for a specific door?

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:31 AM

#

general

#

every door

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:31 AM

#

oh boy...

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:31 AM

#

like any door

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:31 AM

#

how much scripting experience do you have?

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:31 AM

#

the player looks at

#

well thats the thing its sqf I know c++ and stuff

#

its just sqf is different

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:32 AM

#

ok, then it wont be hard

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:32 AM

#

but I have experience with it

#

I used it 3 - 4 years ago

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:32 AM

#

i recommend you get yourself familiarized with sqf first

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:32 AM

#

now getting back in it

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:32 AM

#

making general addons isnt really easy

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:32 AM

#

well I know the fundamentals of it but ye

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:32 AM

#

youre missing some basic stuff

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:32 AM

#

so making for any door must be an addon then?

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:33 AM

#

not really

#

but preferably

#

so what i recommend you do

#

add an eventhandler on the player to check for keypresses

#

when a specific key/combination is performed execute the script

#

the script gets the object you are looking at

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:34 AM

#

yeah event handlers I know

#

but how do I make it for every door

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:34 AM

#

if it's a type of house, it gets all the door-selections for that house

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:34 AM

#

do I need an array

#

to store every type of house on the server

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:34 AM

#

then it gets the closest door to the player

#

checks if it's locked and then unlocks the door and does all the rest of the job

#

additionally, you can add a distance check

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:35 AM

#

I found player reveal cursorObject

#

is that any good ?

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:35 AM

#

MORE additionally, you can rotate and place the player into a specific position

#

facepalm

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:35 AM

#

yeah have it dependable on the direction they are facing

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:35 AM

#

do you even read what im writing?

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:36 AM

#

yes I am but I was researching and saw someone suggested that

#

I just thought it would be useful idk

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:36 AM

#

i just told you what to do

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:36 AM

#

yeah, I know thank you I just thought that be a useful contribution but I guess not 😛

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:37 AM

#

reveal makes the object known to the target

#

you dont need to reveal a house

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:37 AM

#

oh lmao I forgot

#

what Lou said

#

makes sense now lol

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:37 AM

#

you can get the object the player is looking at with cursorObject or cursorTarget

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:37 AM

#

yeah just realized...

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:37 AM

#

but doors are not objects

#

they are selections

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:37 AM

#

right

#

aah makes sense now to what the person helping me on the forum post said

#

regarding selections

#

private _door = 1; // First door

#

but that is not universal

#

but makes sense now thank you

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:38 AM

#

facepalm

#

1 is not any specific door

#

1 is a number

#

selection is a type string

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:38 AM

#

oh

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:39 AM

#

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

#

use this to get all selection names for an object

winter rose Jul 2, 2020, 8:40 AM

#

there is no documentation on that
lies 👀

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:40 AM

#

someone just added it?

#

because i could swear it was empty

winter rose Jul 2, 2020, 8:40 AM

#

yeah, just did

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:40 AM

#

This page was last edited on 2 July 2020, at 10:38.

#

😅

#

thank you

#

👍

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:41 AM

#

when a specific key/combination is performed execute the script
@ebon citrus
the script gets the object you are looking at
@ebon citrus that shouldn't be too hard

#

I'm assuming it will be for any door

#

what you stated as it is an event handler so it will just get cursortarget and use script

#

its like event handler for fall damage

#

so people universally don't take fall damage everyone on the map for instance

#

but in this case it would be MP event handler right

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:43 AM

#

make sure you understand the difference between "cursorTarget" and "cursorObject"

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:43 AM

#

Ok, I will have a thorough read

#

im guessing cursorobject is better

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:44 AM

#

getCursorObjectParams might be better for you

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:45 AM

#

so the selections

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:45 AM

#

?

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:45 AM

#

Return Value:
Array - [cursorObject, selections, distance]

#

so the middle thing im confused about

#

do I use what you sent

#

selectionnames?

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:46 AM

#

?

#

you can use selectionnames to get selection

#

hold on, im launching a test mission

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:46 AM

#

ok so getCursorObjectParams[cursorObject,selections,distance]

#

is that correct lol

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:47 AM

#

no...

#

what are you trying to do?

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:47 AM

#

trying to understand the command

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:47 AM

#

do you know how commands work in arma 3?

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:47 AM

#

wait im stupid nvm

#

i just read again what it does on the wiki

#

my bad runnin on not much sleep lol

#

sry bout that

#

makes sense now

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:48 AM

#

no worries

#

i jsut ate myself to death and im seeing things aswell

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:48 AM

#

hahaha

#

arma is I noticed a different breed

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:50 AM

#

yeah, you want getCursorObjectParams

#

that's really useful command actually

#

im going to use that

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:59 AM

#

@ebon citrus I presume the eventhandler makes it easier than having just a function that can be called from when pressing a button on a UI?

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 9:00 AM

#

yeah, well because you can have it bound to a key

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 9:00 AM

#

but is that the only difference

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 9:00 AM

#

apart from having the action on the user? yeah

#

with a little smart use of the condition field, you can make the action appear nicely when youre looking at doors

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 9:01 AM

#

yeah that's exactly what I want

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 9:01 AM

#

yeah, have fun

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 9:02 AM

#

😄

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 9:02 AM

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 9:21 AM

#

is there a way to denote the ground as an object?

#

lineIntersects?

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 9:28 AM

#

not applicable

winter rose Jul 2, 2020, 9:33 AM

#

what is the use case?

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 9:34 AM

#

oh, yeah sorry. It's for getting the specific position the player is looking at

#

so im using lineIntersectsSurfaces for this

#

because it has a return that holds the position

winter rose Jul 2, 2020, 9:35 AM

#

so if the player looks at a hill, you want it to go through?

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 9:35 AM

#

i want it to be discarded

winter rose Jul 2, 2020, 9:35 AM

#

screenToWorld [0.5,0.5];
``` 😄

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 9:35 AM

#

only problem is that height is always 0

#

so it's always only the surface of the ground

winter rose Jul 2, 2020, 9:36 AM

#

I really don't get what you want
if you want "where the player looks at" but not the terrain ground, use lineIntersects?

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 9:36 AM

#

lineIntersects doesnt return the position

winter rose Jul 2, 2020, 9:40 AM

#

oh right, it's a boolean. let's see other lineIntersects

#

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/lineIntersectsObjs ?

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 9:42 AM

#

Returns objects

#

Not a position

#

It's not a huge inconvenience

#

I can get around it easily

#

I was just asking

#

Can i use the terrain as an object to ignore

winter rose Jul 2, 2020, 9:44 AM

#

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_getIntersectionsUnderCursor maybe. otherwise, workaround with a terrain check yep 🤷‍♂️

#

Can i use the terrain as an object to ignore
nope, can't do - terrain is not an Object

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 9:44 AM

#

Ok, answered

Thank you

@winter rose is this a bug?
https://i.imgur.com/FTGzUdK.png

#

happens with some world-objects, most notably gates

winter rose Jul 2, 2020, 11:01 AM

#

I guess ~~yes~~ no, because https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_objectType has specific format string, not based on classnames

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 11:02 AM

#

so feedback report?

#

should i make one?

#

or do you think it wont be fixed?

#

ah, i see

winter rose Jul 2, 2020, 11:02 AM

#

no I meant "I guess it's normal", my bad

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 11:02 AM

#

what should i use instead of "house" for gates?

winter rose Jul 2, 2020, 11:03 AM

#

dunno 🙃 check the config and their parents, I suppose they have one in common

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 11:03 AM

i was expecting i could summon you to solve this issue

#

FuFu

#

Sorry for the bother and thanks for the help

#

i've worked up something to solve my issue with the door offsets

#

to get rid of the action-menu in arma 3

#

for good

Tried "Test" instead of _task @lost copper?
@winter rose, sorry for ping. I am return to a question about deleting diary records. Your solution don't work. Error expect.

#

Error Type string, expected Diary record

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 11:57 AM

#

ok, im getting a "cannot load letter_f_1.paa."-error on this line:
drawIcon3D ["letter_f_1", [1,1,1,1], ASLToAGL (_ins select 0 select 0), 1, 1, 45, "Open door", 1, 0.05, "TahomaB"];, despite the texture being in my mission's root folder. Any bets?

#

and yes it's in .paa format and converted properly

winter rose Jul 2, 2020, 11:57 AM

#

forgot ".paa" ?

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 11:58 AM

#

dont need it

#

and yes, i tried with it aswell

#

same result

winter rose Jul 2, 2020, 11:58 AM

#

this specific image worked somewhere before?

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 11:59 AM

#

hold on, i'll try to use it on a user-texture

#

yep

#

it works on everything else just fine

#

even setTexture

#

but drawIcon3D doesnt like it

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 12:39 PM

#

not really a scripting question, but any idea why my P-drive isnt mounting

#

i hit "mount p-drive" in arma3 tools and it runs the prompt and quickly hides it and nothing happens

winter rose Jul 2, 2020, 12:40 PM

#

try accessing the "mount P-drive" tool from the directory (and run it from cmd so you see the eventual error message), else reinstalling the tools?

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 12:44 PM

#

ok, it works when i run workdrive.exe just like that

#

but not if i run it from the arma3tools

#

🤷‍♂️

winter rose Jul 2, 2020, 12:45 PM

#

workdrive /Mount C:\path\to\fDir ?

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 12:47 PM

#

nope, just ran it

winter rose Jul 2, 2020, 12:47 PM

#

oh btw:
what is the difference between Draw3D and EachFrame Mission Event Handlers?
Draw3D is on each -drawing- frame, while
EachFrame is each simulation frame?

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 12:48 PM

#

i assume draw3d requires focus?

#

draw3d is only present on the client aswell

#

wont run on server/HC

unique sundial Jul 2, 2020, 12:56 PM

#

each frame and draw 3d run at different times during the frame, one on scripts simulation one on ui draw simulation, you can test which one runs first

winter rose Jul 2, 2020, 12:58 PM

#

nothing to do with "simulation" vs "visual" frame?

astral dawn Jul 2, 2020, 1:12 PM

#

Draw3D also doesn't run when your map is open

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 2:04 PM

#

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/parseNumber is returning a scalar, why?

#

ok, so "scalar" is just another name for "number"

winter rose Jul 2, 2020, 2:05 PM

#

nowhere on this page is Scalar mentioned though?

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 2:05 PM

#

also, another problem

#

[_house, _doorIndex, 1] call BIS_fnc_DoorOpen;

doesnt work, even though _doorIndex is a number, and it errors out on expecting a string

#

but if i replace _doorIndex with a hard number, it works

#

a.k.a. variables dont work in BIS_fnc_DoorOpen... because magic

#

private _doorIndex = 1; 
private _house = cursorObject; 
 
systemChat typeName(_doorIndex); 
[_house, _doorIndex, 1] call BIS_fnc_DoorOpen;```

#

try it out

#

"Error type number, expected string"

#

but switching it out for a number, instead of a variable with a number makes it work

#

never mind, now it doesnt

exotic flax Jul 2, 2020, 2:09 PM

@umbral nimbus There are several EH's which handle inventory/gear items, or the unit itself, which you can use to trigger your script:

- Init
- Respawn
- InventoryClosed
- aresenalClosed
- Put
- Take

On each of those EH's you can run a simple script which checks if the unit has the item, and if yes, execute additional code.

literally changed nothing and it works

#

and then it doesnt

*armagic*

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 2:10 PM

#

[_building, 5, 1] call BIS_fnc_Door;

#

that's your example, Lou

#

and it works

#

and sometimes it doesnt

#

with the same parameters

#

switching out some aprameters and running the code fresh seems to make it work for a moment

hollow thistle Jul 2, 2020, 2:10 PM

#

@exotic flax there's also:
https://github.com/CBATeam/CBA_A3/wiki/Player-Events "loadout" EH if you're running CBA and want to track players only.

winter rose Jul 2, 2020, 2:10 PM

#

that's your example, Lou

[_house, "door_1_rot", nil, nil, 0.25]  call BIS_fnc_doorOpen;
```is my example @ebon citrus

winter rose Jul 2, 2020, 2:11 PM

#

you are mixing door and doorOpen

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 2:11 PM

#

oooh

#

i see

#

but doorOpen works with those parameters too

#

no, wait it doesnt

#

ok, that's my issue

winter rose Jul 2, 2020, 2:11 PM

#

👀

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 2:11 PM

#

so Door is a better one for me here

#

the difference between Door and DoorOpen is that DoorOpen allows you to define which parts animate

#

Door animates all the necessary parts for you

#

im just having a stroke again

#

dont mind me

umbral nimbus Jul 2, 2020, 2:18 PM

#

Going to repost it here

#

hello guys
I know the scripting command for it...
But now I want to make it a feature of an object:

I want someone who has object X in his inventory to 'ReportRemoteTargets'

as with the scripting command setVehicleReportRemoteTargets.

Anyone has an idea how to do that?

thnx going to experiment with it

unique sundial Jul 2, 2020, 6:01 PM

#

nothing to do with "simulation" vs "visual" frame? @winter rose you mean future vs visual? That is for moving objects, future predicts object position based on speed and direction, visual just takes from where it is dunno if related to draw, which is for ui

fair drum Jul 2, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

How do I do a absent placement for a number? Like "" for a string or objnull for an object?

exotic flax Jul 2, 2020, 7:07 PM

#

0

#

Or -1 when 0 is a valid response

winter rose Jul 2, 2020, 7:13 PM

#

@unique sundial yeah I don't have a clear view of what is "2D drawing frame", "3D drawing frame", "simulation frame"
Like, in 60 drawing frames the simulation could only be updated 20 times, all that I don't know

fair drum Jul 2, 2020, 8:16 PM

#

Everything is working okay. Now how can I make this more efficient and cleaned up? https://pastebin.com/G3P3E5zQ

tough abyss Jul 2, 2020, 8:34 PM

#

How do I fix me being stuck in a animation even tho I am doing player switchMove "something"; and then after that trying to reset it with player switchMove "";

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

switchmove makes players stuck

#

use playmove and playmovenow to not make them stuck

winter rose Jul 2, 2020, 8:47 PM

#

switchMove "" should reset the player though - is it a special animation you are using before that?

surreal peak Jul 2, 2020, 10:34 PM

#

also does the kickdoor do anything? Or is it WIP?

ebon citrus Jul 2, 2020, 10:37 PM

it's universal to any door

#

atm the door kick sets the door to slightly open and unlocks it
