  1. That is a really bad approach. What if more units are created later?

  2. In MP you should use MPKilled
    https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Event_Handlers#MPKilled
    and the EH should only be added once

  3. Why do you arbitrarily remove EH id 0? Get the correct EH ID:
    https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Magic_Variables#thisEventHandler

  4. Some of the commands you're using require special locality handling, for instance:
    https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/removeAllItems
    takes local arguments

void panther
#
  1. I know, want to get this to work first
  2. okay
  3. didn't work what is stated in the documentation. 0 works for now
  4. yeah, the removeAll stuff is flaky
#

this is of course terrible and very bad. that is my first approach of doing things πŸ˜„

#

I am blind man trying to climb a mountain

#

Not sure what you meant by "EH should only be added once" I only add it once for each returned item, or what do you mean?

little raptor
#

It should preferably be only added by the server

void panther
#

Makes sense

What is best perfomance wise method to :
I spawn "Tochka-u" with

this setVehicleAmmo 0;
#

after 2hrs=7200 seconds i want send ammo to tocka-u

# 
this setVehicleAmmo 1;
#

my curr implementation

[] spawn {
if (isServer) then
{
    waitUntil {sleep 7200};
    {
    _tochkaU = setVehicleAmmo 1;
    };
};
};

Hi, can I ask a useless question xd?

#

I have to do a function that if you are not "independent" or have a specific SteamID, you cannot do a certain thing

little raptor
#

So what's the question?

candid cape
#

I have the code, but I don't know how to make the

#

or

# 

hola =  ["XXX"];
if (!(getplayerUID player in hola) or (side player != independent)) exitwith 
{
      hint "x";
};
#

that's don't work IDK

little raptor
#

missing )

candid cape
#

No, was my mistake writting here

little raptor
#

where do you exec that?

candid cape
#

in a script, the function I want is that if it does not meet the above requirements, it will not create a dialog

little raptor
#

it's fine
I don't know why you say it won't work

#

maybe you're doing it wrong

#

post the full code

candid cape
#

Can I send you to DM?

winter rose
little raptor
#

What is a video supposed to tell me anyway?!
Post the code
No DM

candid cape
candid cape
candid cape
little raptor
#

I already told you that it's correct

#

It doesn't work because you're doing something wrong in the code

candid cape
#

Imagine that this is the whole code. Why is it not working?

exotic flax
#

Called at the wrong time.
Because if THAT is the code, it will work

#

Btw..
You currently say:

  • player is NOT in UID list
  • OR is not independent

So if in the list, or independent, it will show

#

If in the list and independent, it will show.
If not in the list and not independent, it will show

candid cape
#

So, how can I make that if a player is on the list and is not "Independent" then it doesn't hint?

exotic flax
#

By changing the statement to meet that requirement

winter rose
#

if a player is on the list and is not "Independent"
or and

exotic flax
# 
if !(getPlayerUID in hola && side player == independent) exitWith {
   hint "you're not on the list or independent";
};

I'm trying to use BIS_fnc_moduleRespawnVehicle to create vehicle respawn sqfs. No matter what I put in parameter 4 (Code) I seem to get an error for either "Local variable in global space" or "Generic error in expression". I've tried using _vehicle (defined in params), _this, _this select 0, newVehicle, and <newVehicle>. Any ideas what to pass? The script works fine when manually placed in the module
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_moduleRespawnVehicle

agile pumice
#

what's the best way to go about checking which way a door opens?

#

In arma3, do all exterior building doors open outwards?

exotic flax
#

Doors are animations within an object, so not really possible to get information from it.
As for exterior doors; usually they open outwards, but not all objects may follow the same "rule".
There's an forum article with the same question and some scripts which may be useful: https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/229618-return-direction-of-a-door/
However I guess the only "perfect" method is to make a list of all the doors of each building and define the direction (and side) it opens.

It may be possible to calculate it based on the animation settings in the configs, but no idea how to identify which door is which.

agile pumice
#

I already know how to identify which door is which

#

I actually was reading this same forum post the other day

exotic flax
#

Main issue is that you don't know how a door is placed in an object, so even if you know which door it is and how it rotates, you still don't know from which position into which direction.
Have seen this question pop-up a couple of times with the same result; nobody knows how to do it reliably.

Have you tried wrapping the code in {} or ""?
Also, as the name implies that function is designed only for internal use by the vehicle respawn module, so it isn't very well documented. You might have better luck spawning the module itself and syncing the vehicle to it.
To understand it better, try finding the function in the editor Function Viewer under Tools, so you can see how it works. Or look up one of many vehicle respawn scripts that aren't designed for internal module use...

dusky wolf
#

I've wrapped it in {} but I haven't tried making it a string with ""
I'm hoping to avoid use of the respawn module itself to make adjustments much easier as it's being maintained in a github repo and merging sqm changes is a pain

hallow mortar
#

I don't mean place it in the editor, I mean spawn it scriptwise using createUnit and...whatever the hell the sync command is

_init                    = _this param [4,{},[{},[]]];

First of all the init can be both a code ({}) and array (in format [code, params])
Second of all this is how the function executes it:

_initScript = if (typeName _init == typeName []) then
            {
                ([_newVeh,_veh]+(_init select 1)) spawn (_init select 0);
            }
            else
            {
                [_newVeh,_veh] spawn _init;
            };

And you get that error you described for putting any variable name in params/private without starting it with _ (aka local variable)

@winter rose thank you

I got 2 arrays:
_default = [a,b,b,b,c,c,d];
_current = [a,b,b,c,c,d];
How do I find out, which element is missing in _current?

cosmic lichen
#

@languid oyster Depending on the values inside the array you can use _missing = _array1 - _array2

little raptor
cosmic lichen
#

["a","b","b","b","c","c","d","f"] - ["a","b","b","c","c","d"] returns "f"

little raptor
#

yeah

#

but I think we should also count every missing element?

#

I don't know which one you meant @languid oyster

cosmic lichen
#

Idk what he wants

slim oyster
#

Count unique elements in arrays and get difference?

languid oyster
#

I am doing a rearm script. I got the problem, that turrets have multiple magazines of same type. My thought: Search the default mag loadout, look the current loadout, compare both.

#

Then slowly add one missing mag after the other. If no mag is missing, search for the one with less rounds than default mag round count, and replace that

cosmic lichen
#

_vehicle setVehicleAmmo 1; does not work in that case?

#

Ah okay

languid oyster
#

It sure does, I wanted more immersion πŸ™‚

slim oyster
#

What about just apply'ing through the loadout mag array and checking status with magazine commands?

#

Can do the timing in the loop

languid oyster
#

hmm, will have a look @slim oyster

little raptor
#

@languid oyster
then do this maybe?

_unique = (_magD arrayIntersect _magD) apply {
    [_x, count _magD - count (_magD - [_x]), count _magC - count (_magC - [_x])]
};

{
    _x params ["_mag", "_cntDef", "_cntCurrent"];
    
    for "_i" from 1 to _cntDef-_cntCurrent do {
        _veh addMagazine _mag;
        sleep 3;
    };
} forEach _unique;
#

_magD is default mags

#

_magC is current mags

languid oyster
#

@little raptor will apply the routine. Let me see, if that works

I've tried putting "woodland" here:

but nothing. I'd appreciate any suggestions

#

I'd like to create a "Simunition" script. Simunition is ammunition that is definitely painful, but does not kill - useful for training scenarios. I'm trying to make it ACE compatible, with a specific magazine, so that if you have a specific magazine loaded in your weapon and fire at another player, it knocks them out for a few seconds but does not kill them or otherwise injure them (would be cool if it would include a temporary pain effect from ACE though).

Right now, I've written a cfgPatch to create a new 5.56 magazine variant from RHS, and then I'm also retexturing the magazine orange to indicate that someone is loaded with simunition. I've tried a couple ways to handle the "knockout target but don't hurt them" part of the script, but I'm having difficulty.

#

Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction?

#

My first idea was to have a handleDamage event handler running on each player at all times, which checks to see if the ammunition is simunition or not. If not, it'd just allow damage, and if yes, then it wouldn't allow damage. I ran into two roadblocks - My group has 50-60 people at events and I'm worried an event handler on each of them would cause lag in a heavy firefight when a lot of hits are being taken, and also I could not find a function to determine what type of ammunition you're being hit by.

#

I tried finding a taser script to look at for guidance but it seems like all the taser mod creators have obfuscated or .ebo'd their mods 😬

if you're modding try hit = 0 and indirectHit = 0 for the ammo.
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/CfgAmmo_Config_Reference
Also the handleDamage EH does return the projectile. So you can find out what you're being hit with
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Event_Handlers#HandleDamage

params ["_unit", "_selection", "_damage", "_source", "_projectile", "_hitIndex", "_instigator", "_hitPoint"];
_ammoType = typeOf _projectile;

#

@little raptor thank you! I'll try that

#

I think ACE does overrule the damage handling if I remember correctly though

little raptor
# upbeat magnet I'm in the config window, how do I check it's animationSources/textureSources

It's very obvious. Look at the "tree" on the left. You'll see AnimationSources and TextureSources (you must first navigate here if you don't see them: configFile >> "rhsusf_M1238A1_M2_socom_d")
You can expand those tree items too. Those that have the property source = "user" in them can be customized by you.
Once you have what you want to modify, simply use its config name with BIS_fnc_initVehicle

hi everybody. I search a solution for get position of an object in a lbadd array.

I explain :
I have a listBox and A mapView.
My listBox set all Object with "Land_Building_exod" classname.
I want, when i click on the object in the lbadd, set the position in my mapView. But I search and i don"t know how to do that :/

Is there a way to force AI to drive over a shallow part of a river with a boat that the default AI behaviour refuses to cross?

distant oyster
stable badger
#

Huum explain ?

distant oyster
#

On mission start (if the array of objects is static, say, does not change during the mission):

TAG_selectableObjects = allMissionObjects select {typeOf _x == "Land_Building_exod"}; // instead of allMissionObjects ofc how you return the objects

Display is opened, fill the listbox:

{
  _ctrlListbox lbAdd format ["Building %1", _forEachIndex];
} forEach TAG_selectableObjects;

When another entry is selected, eg via onLBSelChanged

params ["_ctrlListbox", "_index"];
_building = TAG_selectableObjects  select _index;
stable badger
#

My problem is not for add my buildings on the listbox πŸ˜„

#

Here my listBox :

class ListBox: Life_RscListNBox
        {
            idc = 95002;
            sizeEx = 0.041;
            coloumns[] = {0,0,0.9};
            drawSideArrows = 0;
            idcLeft = -1;
            idcRight = -1;
            rowHeight = 0.050;
            x = 0.221176 * safezoneW + safezoneX;
            y = 0.28088 * safezoneH + safezoneY;
            w = 0.112148 * safezoneW;
            h = 0.506 * safezoneH;
            onLBSelChanged = "_this call life_fnc_pmvSelected;"
        };

And My pmvSelected don't execute :/

private ["_control","_selection","_spCfg","_sp"];
_control = [_this,0,controlNull,[controlNull]] call BIS_fnc_param;
_selection = [_this,1,0,[0]] call BIS_fnc_param;


Hint "test";
#

I try just a hint test in my pmvSelected but nothing.
And i can't get an info of my lbadd

#

My OpenDir.sqf do this :

disableSerialization;
createDialog "life_menu_dir";

//chpmv_aut & chpmv_dep
_list = CONTROL(95000,95002);
_pmvAll = [];

{
  _pmvAll pushback _x;
} forEach (nearestObjects [[worldSize/2, worldSize/2],["chpmv_aut","chpmv_dep"],worldSize]);

{
  
  _list lbAdd format ["PVM - %1",vehiclevarname _x];
  _pos = getpos _x;
  _list lbsetData [1,str _pos];
  _list setVariable ["data",_x];
} forEach _pmvAll;

And this working fine

Just a hint "test"; wont work

exotic flax
#

are you sure the function is setup correctly?

thin trail
#

So, Im trying to check a variable's value but it never returns anything. I'm execting the code on a player (dedicated server) and its returning nothing.
_this getVariable ["HALs_money_funds", 0]

exotic flax
#

how did you set it?

thin trail
exotic flax
#

so why not use those functions instead?

stable badger
#

@exotic flax yes my functions setup properly now. I can have my selectedIndex by LbCursel but not by the params ::

thin trail
#

Tehy arent working either

#

I try running [_this] call HALs_money_fnc_getFunds; and it returns nothing

#

params [
["_unit", objNull, [objNull]]
];

(_unit getVariable ["HALs_money_funds", 0])

#

is what its params are from its function file

stable badger
#

_this equal ?

thin trail
#

what?

exotic flax
#

what if you change it to player? perhaps your _this doesn't exist or is something else

stable badger
#

_this return a selectedIndex or something else no ?

exotic flax
#

it should be the unit or player you want to check

thin trail
#

Nope, returning nothin'

#

How do I refer to a player in multiplayer in it?

exotic flax
thin trail
#

Okay [player] call HALs_money_fnc_getFunds; this worked but im only getting the value of my own money.

#

I need to replace player with whatever I need to use for another player

exotic flax
#

in that case you need to get the player object of the other player

#

a bit hard to tell you how without knowing what you want, have and expect

stable badger
#

Yes i know, i've my return @exotic flax But it doesn't work with the param ... I need to use my lbcursel like that :

_dialog = findDisplay 95000;
_list = _dialog displayCtrl 95002;
_sel = lbCurSel _list;
_pmv = _list lbData _sel;
_pos = call compile format ["%1", _pmv];
thin trail
#

I welcome it all Grez. I really need to do this lol

exotic flax
stable badger
#

I try

#

Thx man now it's working perfectly :p

thin trail
#

So uh, how does refering to a player object work?

exotic flax
#

again; without knowing what you want, what you have and what you expect it's not possible to give a single answer on that

thin trail
#

Well I dont know what I really need to tell you. I have a player who isn't me on a dedicated server, Ive got debug console, and all I want is a way to do [<unit>] call HALs_money_fnc_getFunds;

#

Like replace unit with that player.

exotic flax
#

Does the other unit have a variable name?

thin trail
#

No

exotic flax
#

in that case you'll need to loop over all the players, check if it's the one you want, and use the object in that function

thin trail
#

What do you mean loop?

exotic flax
# 
{
   if (profileName _x == "Name of player") then {
      hint [_x] call HALs_money_fnc_getFunds;
   };
} forEach allPlayers;
thin trail
#

Wow so I just replace Name of player with their exact name and i get it?

exotic flax
#

btw... you might want to check the wiki on how to do stuff and learn how to script SQF, because you should at least know the basics if you want to make modifications (instead of just Copy&Paste from random sources)

thin trail
#

I do refer sometimes but scripting isn't really my favorite thing in the world lol

exotic flax
#

because this Discord is not to write stuff for free, we help those who at least are trying themselves...

#

and if you don't like scripting, simply don't 🀣

thin trail
#

I know that wasn;t my intent mate I didnt know referring to a person required a script like that lol seemed like an easy thing but apparently not

#

That's why I asked "How" instead of "Can you"

exotic flax
#

there are hundreds of ways to do that, but each one depends on the situation

#

which is why I asked for more info

thin trail
#

Right well thanks for the help. The thing you wrote unfortunately didn't work when I put it into debug console

#

I assume I'll need to find some way to refer to people, or rather just assign all slots a variable name

#

And then figure out how to find what variable each player is under.

solid kernel
# little raptor no

I was thinking about

  1. use unitCapture/unitPlay to manually find path over the shallow part. (drawback: no engine sounds)
  2. use an agent as driver and setDestination with "LEADER DIRECT" as planning mode. (drawback: can't get the boat to go at full speed)
little raptor
solid kernel
#
  1. record a path with unitCapture where you cross it and play it with unitPlay for the AI boat when it comes near the shallow
little raptor
solid kernel
#
  1. agents with setDestination "LEADER DIRECT" will just go directly to the destination disregarding any obstacles (like soldiers getting in to vehicles and walking through walls).
little raptor
#

no they won't

solid kernel
#

I have tested both of those methods they really work. But yes, they are not real pathfinding methods, just best approximations I could come up with.

little raptor
solid kernel
#

It does, just give a destination to the agent and put the agent into a boat. The boat won't go through ground but it will go over that shallow part that the AI would not.

little raptor
solid kernel
#

my follow up questions would be:

#

is there a way to have unitPlay make engine sounds?

#

is there a way to make agents drive at full speed?

Can you check what actions a vehicle has by default? (Can't look at config myself ATM) if so you could check that for references to collision lights as usually there's a toggle action for them

Hi, is there any eventhandler for using thermal or looking through a scope?

verbal saddle
# grim wing can someone help me, not sure why this is not working ```sqf _WhiskeyClasses = [...

_WhiskeyClasses is a variable, "_WhiskeyClasses" is a string, those two things are not the same.
Assuming that Whiskey_Lead & Whiskey_Pilot are available class types you'll need to check for each one separately, e.g ("Whiskey_Lead" countType units player) + ("Whiskey_Pilot" countType units player), but you can do one better by going through the array of units once, and checking them against both, rather then going through the array twice.

private _WhiskeyClasses = ["Whiskey_Lead", "Whiskey_Pilot"]; 
private _WhiskeyUnits = [];
{
  private _unit = _x;
  // Go through each item in the classes list and check to see if the unit is one of them,
  // findIf stops once one of the items returns true, so if the unit is a Whiskey_Lead,
  // we don't need to check if they are a Whiskey_Pilot.
  if (_WhiskeyClasses findIf { _unit isKindof _x } > -1) then
  {
    // This unit is either a Whiskey Lead or Whiskey Pilot
    _WhiskeyUnits pushBackUnique _unit;
  };
} foreach units player;

// If you want an array of units which are either whiskey lead or pilot
_WhiskeyUnits

// If you want the number of units that are either whiskey lead or pilot
count _WhiskeyUnits

Hi everyone, I"m struggling to get the hang of scripting... I'm trying to make a simple script that changes a flag texture with an addaction but I can't tell where my syntax is wrong?

flag1 addAction ["Blufor Capture", setFlagTexture "\A3\Data_F\Flags\flag_blue_CO.paa"];```
agile pumice
#

your missing the first param

#

flag setFlagTexture texture

#

flag1 setFlagTexture is what you want

gloomy musk
#

ah, I thought I didn't have to define it since I was specifying

#

that makes more sense, thank you!

exotic flax
# 
flag1 addAction ["Opfor Capture", { (_this select 0) setFlagTexture "\A3\Data_F\Flags\flag_red_CO.paa"}];
flag1 addAction ["Blufor Capture", { (_this select 0) setFlagTexture "\A3\Data_F\Flags\flag_blue_CO.paa"}];
gloomy musk
#

Why select0?

agile pumice
#

params ["_target", "_caller", "_actionId", "_arguments"];

# 
target (_this select 0): Object - the object which the action is assigned to
caller (_this select 1): Object - the unit that activated the action
actionId (_this select 2): Number - activated action's ID (same as addAction's return value)
arguments (_this select 3): Anything - arguments given to the script if you are using the extended syntax
exotic flax
#

the script part has 4 parameters, and you want the first one (the target, which is the object the addAction is attached to)

gloomy musk
#

ohhhh okay

#

so if I wanted it to also play a hint saying the flag had changed colors, would I add that after setFlagTexture?

exotic flax
#

yup, within the {}

cosmic lichen
#

With remoteExec though

exotic flax
#

setFlagTexturehas global effect

the command executed where unit is local effect of the command will be global and JIP compatible.

gloomy musk
#

so I'd want to do like
flag1 addAction ["Blufor Capture", { (_this select 0) setFlagTexture "\A3\Data_F\Flags\flag_blue_CO.paa"; remoteExec ["hint Blufor have captured point 1", 0] }];

#

I wasn't sure about the "" in remoteExec

sorry if this is a dumb question

I did, I was going by use 1

getObjectTextures player

Or check config

I did getobjecttextures player but it wasn't pulling what I expected, though maybe I wa slooking at it incorrectly. Seemed like it was just giving me the textures for the face, rather than for the uniform I was wearing

No. It will return the uniform's textures

I believe an object needs slingLoadCargoMemoryPoints in the config, and the weight shouldn't be beyond what the vehicle can lift.

canSlingLoad is afaik the only way to check that

although you could check some mods which add custom implementations of slingloading to see how they handle it

or i attach my crates to an invisible quadbike.

b_supply_crate_f for anyone interested can be slingloaded (seems to be the only one). thats a big box packed in a green blanket

You can probably hack it with ropeCreate commands if you really want to make it work with something that's not otherwise slingloadable. It won't work quite the same as regular slingloading, though.

Anyone who know how to add params to this eventHandler?

addMissionEventHandler ["PlayerViewChanged", {
    params [
        "_oldUnit", "_newUnit", "_vehicle",
        "_oldCamera", "_newCamera", "_uav"
    ];
}];
exotic flax
#

Those are the only params available in that EH, so if you need more info you'll need to retrieve it with the data you have in there (eg. attach data to unit, or use missionNamespace)

fresh wyvern
#

ok thank you

hallow mortar
#

There's an upcoming change that will allow you to do some more things with all missionEHs:

Since Arma 3 v2.03.147276 it is possible to pass additional arguments to the EH code via optional param. The arguments are stored in _thisArgs variable
but not yet.

# winter rose which animations?

I figured it out !! πŸ˜„

I added

        {
            setViewDistance 300;

            setViewDistance -1;
            setObjectViewDistance -1;
        };        
    }
];

to the mission "init.sqf" file πŸ˜„

winter rose
#

yyyes, but does being immobile and switching vision mode work?

#

I believe animChanged is "when changing human anim/posture" not lowering/raising NVGs

fresh wyvern
#

correct! I have not found an event handler for NVG/TI...

winter rose
#

maybe a loop and a waitUntil…?

fresh wyvern
#

good idea but I try to figure out a way to do it without an high performance script.

winter rose
# 
while { alive player } do
{
  waitUntil { sleep 0.1; currentVisionMode player == 2 };
  setViewDistance 300;
  setObjectViewDistance 300;

  waitUntil { sleep 0.1; currentVisionMode player != 2 };
  setViewDistance -1;
  setObjectViewDistance -1;
};
```?
little raptor
#

But neither of them is 100% reliable

fresh wyvern
exotic flax
#

Not entirely sure; but perhaps it's possible to trigger a UI event (onLoad, onUnLoad) in case the NVG overlay is actually a configured UI element

#

I know this would work with ACE NVG's, but no idea how this is handled in vanilla

Is it this you are thinking about?

_id = addMissionEventHandler ["EachFrame", { systemChat str [_thisArgs, time] }, [time]];

Basically what I am looking for is a trigger and not a script which checks if a change has occurred.

you mean like making event handler for any event you can think of? no you cannot do this then

Sorry!

Hi. I'm new to Arma 3 coding and would appreciate help. So here is the randomizeWeapon script; https://sqfbin.com/unuzukiharulacazasuc. How can I call this script in the configVehicles to make my unit either for example get an AK or M4? I only need to know how to call it and how to write. Help would be highly appreciated. Cheers!

pseudo kernel
#

[_this, "Rifles"] call cfp_fnc_randomizeWeapon;

#

That's how you call function.

tough abyss
#

yes but how do I define which weapons I want to be randomised?

winter rose
tough abyss
#

until now, I did like this with gear; ```sqf
randomGearProbability = 80;
headgearList[] = {"SP_M1Helmet_Iran",0.25,"SP_M1Helmet_Tan",0.45,"SP_M1Helmet_GrayDim",0.20,"SP_M1Helmet_Green",0.15,"iri_headgear_desert_camo_helmet", 0.30};

pseudo kernel
#

to much alco

tough abyss
#

and I called it like this; ```sqf
[_this] call CFP_main_fnc_randomizeUnit;

# 
init = "if (local (_this select 0)) then {_onSpawn = {_this = _this select 0;sleep 0.2; _backpack = gettext(configfile >> 'cfgvehicles' >> (typeof _this) >> 'backpack'); waituntil {sleep 0.2; backpack _this == _backpack};if !(_this getVariable ['ALiVE_OverrideLoadout',false]) then {_loadout = getArray(configFile >> 'CfgVehicles' >> (typeOf _this) >> 'ALiVE_orbatCreator_loadout'); _this setunitloadout _loadout;[_this] call CFP_main_fnc_randomizeUnit; [_this, "Rifles"] call cfp_fnc_randomizeWeapon; [_this, 'USP_PATCH_IRN_ARMY_GROUND_FORCES'] call BIS_fnc_setUnitInsignia;reload _this};};_this spawn _onSpawn;(_this select 0) addMPEventHandler ['MPRespawn', _onSpawn];};";
};
#

So like this?

#

how can I define which weapons I want to be randomised?

#

cheers btw for the help guys.

pseudo kernel
#

All items are defined in config.

tough abyss
#

I see buddy. I may sound retarded but I have not the knowledge like you guys. So far I have been using this with the randomisedUnit things and defined it like this; ```sqf
randomGearProbability = 80;
headgearList[] = {"SP_M1Helmet_Iran",0.25,"SP_M1Helmet_Tan",0.45,"SP_M1Helmet_GrayDim",0.20,"SP_M1Helmet_Green",0.15,"iri_headgear_desert_camo_helmet", 0.30};

Sorry lol. But I just noticed this;

# 
/* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Function: CFP_fnc_randomizeUnit)
Description:
Randomizes a units weapon and gear loadout based on config
#

This function, I am already using;

# 
[_this] call CFP_main_fnc_randomizeUnit;
#

and as above it I can randomize a units weapon

winter rose
#

the file is the function's content.
the game does not know about this file

tough abyss
#

so this is a totally new question. How can I randomize weapon using this function. Throw the other script in the trash that I was asking about. Since I already am using this function to randomize gear and is implented and working, I only need to know how to define how I need to write code for which weapons to randomise. Here is the script; https://sqfbin.com/munigogunojakikoviye

winter rose
tough abyss
#

no, my english might be trash so you must have been misunderstanding. This function/script is working so far and randomises units vests, uniforms, headgear and facewear. It also offers weapon randomisation but how can I call it?

#

for the e.g gear part I called it like this;

# 
        //Vests
        vestList[] = {
            "V_TacVest_khk", 0.35,
            "CFP_Tactical1_ACRDesert", 0.12,
            "CFP_Tactical1_3ColorDesert", 0.12,
            "SP_Tactical1_Tan", 0.10
# 
        //Rifles
        riflesList[] = {
            "CUP_arifle_G3A3_modern_ris_black", 0.70,
            "CUP_arifle_M16A2", 0.40
        };
little raptor
#

that's not even a call

tough abyss
#

Hi Leopard. But it is working and randomises my vests, uniforms, headgear and facewear already.

#

I just have problem adding the randomisation of weapon.

fair drum
#

@winter rose How about something like this? Would this make sense with FSM logic? Mainly concerned about the children of "Transformers Destroyed". https://imgur.com/a/Rfml6ge

little raptor
#

I mean it's not a function call
And where are you even using that

#

That seems like a config modifcation

tough abyss
#

CfgVehicles

fair drum
#

If you are trying to apply the randomization to any unit that spawns, why don't you use CBA's unit init function and then call the script from there?

winter rose
#

you can also simplify the end by having assault loss/win on Dead Commando

tough abyss
#

It is from CFP mod who has a lot of scripts, including this and I'm just editing a faction of it to fit scenarios.

fair drum
#

I want the win condition to be separate from the objective conditions. the win condition becomes more probable as you complete objectives

#

im just concerned about the transformers destroyed. will that go down two lines at once?

#

or will it only pick one

#

nvm. it threw so many errors its silly hahaha... too many in conditions and out conditions on everything. guess its not possible that way

tough abyss
# 
#define GEAR_CATEGORIES ["uniform","headgear","facewear","nvg","vest","backpack","speaker","insignia"]

#define WEAPON_CATEGORIES ["rifle", "handgun", "launcher", "grenade", "explosive"]
#

If it helps understanding...

#

from the .sqf

fair drum
#

this is so much easier if you just write your own basic randomizer script then call it on unit's init event handler as they spawn

tough abyss
#

I see fam. But I am really new to this so I have almost no knowledge. Just the basics.

little raptor
#

private _cat = format ["%1List",_x];

#

#define WEAPON_CATEGORIES ["rifle", "handgun", "launcher", "grenade", "explosive"]

#

that's literally it

fair drum
# 
params ["_unit"];

private _helmets = [blah, blah, blah];
private _vests = [blah, blah, blah];
//etc

removeallitems _unit;
removeallassigneditems _unit;
//etc etc

_unit addvest selectRandom _vests;
//ect ect

then you call it using the CBA unit init event handler

fair drum
tough abyss
#

looking into it.

#

@fair drum Yeah lol I just started studying python courses imfao. Only that and HTML5 knowledge.

fair drum
#

the thing is learning the logic behind stuff. i only know .sqf right now but my CS friends say that .sqf is a garbage language and that it will be easy to pick up the others since .sqf has taught me the logic behind coding.

tough abyss
#

the thing that @little raptor wrote is for a new .sqf or editing the already existing one?

fair drum
#

he had posted something for the existing one i think

little raptor
#

all you have to do is take

#

"rifle", "handgun", "launcher", "grenade", "explosive"

fair drum
#

let me see if i can dig into my old stuff when i was learning and send you some things to go off of.

tough abyss
#

Cheers @fair drum, @winter rose and @little raptor

little raptor
#

@tough abyss Also you have to define them under randomWeaponProbability in config

scarlet flume
#

if you can with whats in the game, how would i make a intel acquire mission?

tough abyss
# 
randomWeaponProbability = 100;
riflesList[] = {"CUP_arifle_G3A3_modern_ris_black",0.70,"CUP_arifle_M16A2",0.40};

Hello there, I have little question about triggers in MP and calling some commands.
I have player with name u1, trigger created in editor and its set with on activation: u1 addMagazine "30Rnd_556x45_STANAG" Everything looks fine in SP and in MP when trigger is not server only. But if I set trigger as "server only" than no magazine is added. But command addMagazine have "arguments global" and "effect is global". Why it doesnt work?

Okay. One step further! Now when I place units down they spawn with no weapon at all, in a "weapon holding" pose.

Is it possible to make a weapon spawn with a mag already in it?

#

Using scripts

warm hedge
#

Use addMagazine before addWeapon

dreamy cave
#

Alright, and for addMagazine do I have to define what to add the magazine to?

#

Because if I did wouldn't it not work considering it's trying to give a magazine to something that is not yet spawned

#

Because I'm trying it so that the magazine is in the weapon when it spawns, making it where the civilian does not have to load it

spice axle
#

Yeah just add the magazine in the uniform or vest or backpack first

#

And then add the weapon

dreamy cave
#

I did, but the magazine doesn't come loaded in the pistol already

#

They would have to load it, giving blufor way too much of a window to react

spice axle
#

Alternatively u can use addWeaponAttachment or something similar called. It does work for magazines too.

dreamy cave
#

alright, so how would I define what to add the attatchment to?

#

Could I just put it after addWeapon?

spice axle
#

Im sry addWeaponItem

#

The Macros are WEAPON_RFM is the weapon classname WEAPON_RFM_STUFF is a string array of attachment classnames

#

_x is the Variable for the Loop of apply over the array

dreamy cave
#

Alright so weapon_rfm is the weapon id name and the weapon_rfm_stuff is the attatchment id name

spice axle
#

It is a array of weapon attachments ids

Just remove the loop. This is only a example

# 
yourSoldierVarName addWeapon "yourWeaponClassname";
yourSoldierVarName addWeaponItem ["yourWeaponClassname", "yourMagazineClassname"];

there is an upper size limit but whoever wrote that didn't know exactly what it was

AKA you make an object bigger than certain size (50m?) will destroy the collision and such

#

70m iirc

surreal peak
#

ah OK, and im reading this correctly, you cant move these objects once you have set the scale because they wil reset in size?

still forum
surreal peak
#

ahhhh so moving means actually getting inside and moving it like that, thought it meant if it moved at all, in hindsight that makes sense

still forum
#

setPos setVectorDirAndUp and such might reset scaling

surreal peak
#

why does attachTo not reset the scaling? Internally, is it not doing essentially the same thing?

still forum

its not no

#

attachTo stores rotation relative to parent vehicle

I would like to 'construct' a hint from an array, with each element separated by a line break. This

hint formatText ["%1%2%3%4%5%6%7", "Units on the way:", lineBreak, "A", lineBreak, "B", lineBreak, "C"];

should be turned into something like this:

_unitsEnRoute = ["A", "B", "C"];
hint formatText ["%1%2%3%4%5%6%7", "Units on the way:", 
    { 
        lineBreak, _x

Is this somehow possible?

Also you can use multiple %1 %2 %3 or whatevers, no need to put the same variable multiple times

Is there a way I can easily change a civilian to the opfor team without having to make an opfor unit look like a civ?

slate cypress
#

You can also just create a group with createGroup and use the side as east

#

Then joinSilent into that new group

smoky rune
#

Is there any way to disable outlining/focusing on custom RscText control?

dreamy cave
#

Ok so I put the trigger as "enemy1 setCaptive true;"

#

And when activated did nothing

fair drum
#

If its already on the civilian side, setting it as captive won't do anything. If you are using a civilian unit you need to have it join an opfor group

dreamy cave
#

I tried it with an opfor unit, still nothing

fair drum
#

What is your activation set to

#

On the trigger

dreamy cave
#

BLUFOR

fair drum
#

If you are using a opfor unit and you only want that unit to trigger it and have it stated in the condition box then you have to use Anybody and present for it to fire.

dreamy cave
#

No, I want it so when I or a teamate walk through the door, the civilian or opfor member will put their hands up

#

However

#

When using an animation

#

switchMovee

#

Once the unit is detained or taken prisoner, the animation continues

fair drum
#

Use the action command with surrender.

#

Send me a pic of your whole trigger menu you've done so far

dreamy cave
#

So how would I put that in?

#

The surrender thing

fair drum
hallow mortar
#

I don't know where the conception has come from that setCaptive puts the unit in a surrender animation. It never has, nor is such a function described on its wiki page.

slate cypress
# dreamy cave So how would I put that in? 
// Assuming the civi is civi1...
civi1 action ["Surrender", civi1];

It appears that setCaptive simply sets the unit's side to civilian so that other units do not fire on it. If you don't put the unit into the surrender action, the unit will not be restrained so it is free to walk/run away.
Use setCaptive on units which are not already civilians.

fair drum
#

solved privately for him. he was using ACE and needed the ace function for their surrender instead

slate cypress
#

who pinged me

winter rose
#

@slate cypress idk

fair drum
#

I did but rather deleted it because its the morning and it would have came out wrong. don't worry about it.

dreamy cave
#

Is there a way I can make a civilian target BLUFOR? I have tried setting their mode to combat and open fire, but they just point the gun and don't do anything.

#

And they don't track the BLUFOR target either.

hallow mortar
#

make them into an OPFOR by joining them to an OPFOR group

cosmic lichen
#

@hallow mortar See the examples on this page

hallow mortar
#

that was one of the examples on that page, which is why I said it

slate cypress
dreamy cave
#

a bit confusing

#

Yeah

#

I tried that

cosmic lichen
#

Ah sorry, I mentioned the wrong guy πŸ™‚

dreamy cave
#

Couldn't get it work

slate cypress
#

send your code

dreamy cave
#

I don't understand the east and west things

#

It had a bunch of x and y values

cosmic lichen
#

use blufor and opfor then πŸ˜„

dreamy cave
#

I tried that, but in this mission i need them to be civilian, and the only other option would be to change very single opfors loadout and make them look like a civilian

#

Which would be very tedious

cosmic lichen
#

Use 3den Enhanced's copy loadout feature πŸ˜›

#

But anyway, the example on the biki should work and is very straightforward

dreamy cave
#

Yeah, but I can't use the same civilian, and would prefer to not flood my saved loadouts with 20+ civilian kits

hallow mortar
#

legitimately, post the code you were using to join them to a group that didn't work

#

it should work and we can troubleshoot it

dreamy cave
#

I didn't make any, I know it sounds very lazy but I am genuinely confused by it

#

i have zero scripting experience

cosmic lichen
#

You have your civilian unit, we call it CIV_SOON_TO_BE_BLUFOR

#

private _eastGroup = createGroup east;
[CIV_SOON_TO_BE_BLUFOR] joinSilent _eastGroup;

#

done

dreamy cave
#

private _eastGroup = createGroup east;

Where would this go?

hallow mortar
#

exactly the same place as the rest of the code, presumably in the On Activation field of your trigger

dreamy cave
#

Alright

#

Got an error

#

private _eastGroup = createGroup east;

enemy2 joinSilent _eastGroup;

#

Thats the exact code

hallow mortar
#

you have to include the []

dreamy cave
#

Alrighty

#

Ok so no erros, however their still not targeting me

hallow mortar
#

things inside [] are Arrays, essentially lists of things. If you have more than one unit, you can put them in the same array to do them at the same time, e.g. [enemy2,enemy3] (not all commands accept Arrays, some commands require Arrays, so check first)

cosmic lichen
#

in the debug console, execute sqf side enemy2;

#

see if it worked. Should be east now.

dreamy cave
#

It showed civ at the bottom

#

Still didn't target me

hallow mortar
#

Add this line to the end of the On Activation field of your trigger:
hint "trigger activated";
and try again

cosmic lichen
# 
private _eastGroup = createGroup east;
[enemy2] joinSilent _eastGroup;
side enemy2; ```
Alternatively, restart the preview and execute this in the debug console.
#

If it returns "EAST" then it worked.

dreamy cave
#

Yeah it shows its being activated

#

nothing

cosmic lichen
#

Are you sure your unit is called "enemy2"?

dreamy cave
#

Hold on yeah it shows east

hallow mortar
#

it must be otherwise the previous test wouldn't have returned civ

#

Well if your trigger is activating, and the code in your trigger works otherwise, but the code doesn't work when you put it in the trigger....I can't see what's going wrong.

dreamy cave
#

So there is no code that can just change the civ to the opfor team?

slate cypress
#

@still forum I managed to get it working after verifying game cache. Is the camera supposed to be rotated at an angle on the y axis? I noticed that when followBoneRotation is set to false, it's straight. When set to true, it becomes wonky.

hallow mortar
dreamy cave
#

Is there anything I need to do extra to make the East group a hostile group to BLUFOR, to the point where they will fire at any blufor?

exotic flax
#

use setFriend

#

although works for all units in that side

still forum
hallow mortar
#

You should only need to do that if you've previously made OPFOR friendly to BLUFOR for some reason

#

by default they are as enemy as they can get

dreamy cave
#

Ok I finally got it working

#

private _eastGroup = createGroup east;
[_civilian] joinSilent _eastGroup;

I'm not sure if you pointed it out to me but if you did I am extremely sorry for wasting your time, that command I put up top was ment to be put in the debug, for some reason it wasn't working in the trigger.

#

Yeah it just doesn't seem to want to work in the trigger.

Does hideObject disable its simulation?

little raptor
#

kinda

#

it doesn't disable the simulation but the object can no longer interact with the world (the world doesn't see its lods)

#

(e.g. they float in the air, they pass thru objects, etc.)

spark turret
#

So theres no way to slingload an invisible crate?

little raptor
#

make an invisible crate?

#

or find a helper object that can be slingloaded
and can become invisible with obj setObjectTextureGlobal [0,""]

spark turret
little raptor
#

Yeah

#

Did you try setObjectTextureGlobal?

spark turret
#

@real tartan habe you tried the no texture approach?

little raptor
#

maybe it works on some vanilla crate

real tartan
# 
// private _helper = createVehicle ["CargoNet_01_box_F", [0,0,0], [], 0, "NONE"];
_helper setObjectMaterialGlobal [0, "\a3\Structures_F\Data\Windows\window_set.rvmat"];
    { _helper setObjectTextureGlobal [_forEachIndex, ""]; } forEach getObjectTextures _helper;
#

this does not work

#

ah, that object does not have hiddenSelections

little raptor
#

@real tartan @spark turret
I recommend you try one of these:

  1. Make a new vehicle inherited from this:
    configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> "Slingload_01_Base_F"
    and set scope = 1 (the current one is not accessible, because of scope = 0)
  2. Try other vehicles like the quadbike
real tartan
little raptor
#

that's the easiest way :/

real tartan
#

PaperCar would be perfect, but it does not have slingLoadCargoMemoryPoints

spark turret
#

That means either modding a crate or script attach ropes to the heli

little raptor
#

this kinda works

private _helper = createVehicle ["B_Quadbike_01_F", getPos player, [], 0, "NONE"]; 
{ _helper setObjectTextureGlobal [_forEachIndex, ""]; } forEach getObjectTextures _helper;
#

but it has shadows meowsweats

Featured specifically for use with the Old Man mini-campaign/scenario, a variant of the Mine Detector exists in the form of the Drone Detector.
It cannot be equipped outside of the scenario without scripting commands, and is functionally identical to regular Mine Detectors. Its main purpose in Old Man is to detect suicide UAVs that patrol the outskirts of large military bases throughout Tanoa; as such, it has a much wider scan range of 200 metres rather than 15.

#

How can I access this Drone Detector?

#

Maybe there some big cargo cobtainer thats slingloadable. Use this like ViV transport?

#

Or you attach the thing yiu wantto transport and hide it. Wheb dropped, crate gets deleted, thing unhidden

Like it "gets packed" for transport

little raptor
# wind hedge How can I access this Drone Detector?

If you've already played that much, then just play that scenario and use the debug console to get its class name
Or look in old man files
Or keep adding/searching thru all vanilla items one by one until you find it

once the weapon slots are filled, any further addWeapon commands are ignored.

this is regarding the last sqfbin link/script yes?

little raptor
tough abyss
#

Okay. So I have come to an conclusion to just create a own small script to randomize weapons. At the same time I will get more knowledge about all. Any tips or tricks before I dig in and stop annoying the hell out of you lol. I

#

However what is confusing is that the script is from CFP and they have faulty scripts as seen now. (No. I am not doing retarded things with their stuff, just editing one of the faction to modernise it for scenario singleplayer purposes)

cheers! I found this on a forum; ```sqf

seems pretty simple. If this also isn't faulty lol.

sorry to ask but is there any way to link sub classes in a class to an external sqf ?

exotic flax
#

what do you mean?

#

#include "filename"

#

although this is more a #arma3_config question instead of scripting

#

yes

# exotic flax yes

and the file path would I need need to add the full path from root of pbo or just the file name if it is in the same subfolder of the sqf rile ?

I know this is an easy question but I've watched so many videos and can't seem to get it, I want a trigger to make a helicopter come and land in a field, then wait for me and some other people to get in before going on, how would I do so?
