if (hasInterface) then

  while {true} do

    sleep 10;
  };
};

Maybe something like this (Fully untested) @tough abyss

#

Will definitely break something if two players are in the same group

#

Might make sense to just let it run in one loop on the server for allUnits

Hi Ive been using the ORBAT creator to make a custom faction with Iron Front assets, and when I am doing anything with the tanks I dont even get an option for the commander or loader slot, so when I am finished and try to spawn them in they default their commanders and loaders to ones from Iron front.

Is there anyway I can go into the file and edit it so the commanders I made go in there instead?

a display is local, it interacts with player's UI

tough abyss Mar 10, 2021, 11:47 AM

correct, also because cutRsc does not take an object 👀

Typically you have to look through its mags and check their configs. I think type = 256 means flare

sacred slate thx.i am not quite good at scripting. do i have to use somthing else as a class ...

get "cfgWeapons" >> "weapon" >> "magazines"
now get "cfgMagazines" >> "mag" >> "type" for each of them
if at least one of them is 256 the weapon is a flare

@tough abyss Not tested but might work

_cfgMags = configFile >> "cfgMagazines";
_hasFlare = -1 != _mags findIf {
    getNumber(_cfgMags >> _x#0 >> "type") == 256
};

#

I copy pasted it from my mod

#

it's not exactly what you should use

but close

(the main difference is getting all vehicle weapons and checking their supported mags)

tough abyss Mar 10, 2021, 12:06 PM

@cosmic lichen it works thank setting up for multiplay is the part i struggle with the most

ok i think i set this one up right for a server

if (is server) then 
{
    if !(allPlayers in list shelter1 || allPlayers in list shelter2) then
      {
           {_x setdamage (damage _x + 1);
       } forEach unit allPlayers;
     };
};```

#

and this is the one other script i need help with to make mp compatiblesqf while {alive player} do { sleep (selectRandom [600,900,1200,1320,1980,300, 450]); b1 sideChat "ALL forces be advised, emission detected! Seek shelter immediately!"; sleep 1; [1] spawn BIS_fnc_earthquake; sleep 30; b1 sideChat "Emission will hit in thirty seconds!"; sleep 1; [2] spawn BIS_fnc_earthquake; sleep 15; b1 sideChat "Emission in fifteen seconds!"; sleep 1; [3] spawn BIS_fnc_earthquake; sleep 10; b1 sideChat "FIVE SECONDS! GOD HELP YOU IF YOU ARNT INSIDE YET!"; sleep 1; [4] spawn BIS_fnc_earthquake; b1 sideChat " EMISSION INCOMING"; sleep 3; [4] spawn BIS_fnc_earthquake; shelter = execVM "shelter.sqf" sleep 10; b1 sideChat "The emission has passed";

or is this ok as is

since SideChat and earthquake are both local only

cosmic lichen Mar 10, 2021, 12:24 PM

        _x setdamage (damage _x + 1)
    };
};

#

although can't you just set the trigger to server only

#

idk how you are activating it

#

your second script confuses me, while {alive player} do seems wrong, do you want multiple earthquakes to occur?

#

and you want the random timing coming from the server or else you will get locally timed earthquakes

tough abyss Mar 10, 2021, 12:44 PM

#

@slim oyster in order

im not sure?
the first script is activated by the second one its the shelter.sqf
3)yes i want multiple earthquakes that ramp up in speed and intensity to mimic as best i can the blowout events of the stalker games
from what im learning yes i will want the random time to come from the server as all players are supposed to feel it at same time

You gotta know the AI in the area of the player first.
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/nearEntities
With that you could do a small search for 3/5 meters around the player and get all the AI near it.

spark turret Mar 10, 2021, 4:18 PM

#

_men = player nearEntities ["Man", 20]; //returns an array of all entities that match description. => [unit1,unit2,unit3]

#

also, if you add an action, it is seen as "a separate script" -> it does not have any (local) variables you have declared before, like _men.

#

instead, put the men declaration code inside the addAction code.

#

this also makes sense, because the complete code is run (probably) at mission start. thats when your code is looking at units around the player and saving it. the _men variable does NOT auto update. (variables never do, unless specifically told to do so in special cases)
so even if your actions code would know the _men variable, it would have super outdated info in it. instead run the code at the moment the action is called.

#

@fresh wyvern

#

next error you will get is "expected object, got array".
you have to assign every unit as cargo individually because assignAsCargo takes 1 (one) unit as input, not multiple.

#

so a foreach loop will do

or is this ctrlMapScale that would return that number?

cosmic lichen Mar 10, 2021, 4:31 PM

You can use https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_zoomOnArea and store the returned zoom value

But I guess you are using a custom map control?

^^ yes 🎁

cosmic lichen Mar 10, 2021, 4:33 PM

NOpe, since you can't pass a control to the function

#

You could however check out the code and see how they calculate the zoom in there

dreamy kestrel Mar 10, 2021, 4:34 PM

What is "CAManBase"?

the "real" "Man" base class

I believe there are some animals under "Man" as well

Ah "CAManBase" instead of "Man"

dreamy kestrel Mar 10, 2021, 4:51 PM

so... @fresh wyvern, open the map editor, drop a "man" anywhere, right click or select, I forget which, there is an option somewhere there to view the config. very informative.

@fresh wyvern yep, no worries. I'm somewhat seasoned at it, but continually learn.

spark turret Mar 10, 2021, 4:53 PM

the config lowest line tells you its hirarchy/heritage. so if you know the abrahams tank is derived from "tank" -> "land", selecting all "Land" will also select the abrahams

yes, I think "Land" will select a lot of other things as well

well you have declare the _target variable first. thats what params ["_target", "_caller", "_actionId", "_arguments"]; // = _this
does. the only variable that is available by default is _this.

and params takes _this and splits it up into pieces and attaches the vallues to the names you gave it (target, caller, etc)

there you go 🙂
the correct tactic in such "nested" scripts (actions, eventhandlers, functions)
is to

declare the available variables at the top with params
use these variables

if you want to refine your script, you could sort out any units that are not the same faction as the player, so you dont load up on enemies or civs

spark turret params ["_myVar"] is the same as _myVar = _this select 0; it does the same thing...

even better, it privates the variable as well:

the easiest way right now is to add the if statement in the foreach loop. that way, you can test every unit before it is loaded.

the syntaxes are wrong:

it doesnt actually damage the player by 0.05 every second when they are outside the endzone

it works when I set the damage to 1

how can I make text appear on screen for all players during a mission?

willow hound Mar 10, 2021, 10:57 PM

#

Multiplayer optimisation: Global marker commands always broadcast the entire marker state over the network. As such, the number of network messages exchanged when creating or editing a marker can be reduced by performing all but the last operation using local marker commands, then using a global marker command for the last change (and subsequent global broadcast of all changes applied to the marker).
The global marker commands all have this note 🙂

@hollow lantern Tested my variant of the code, the if-statement is only entered once the AI is already slowing down for landing anyways.

hollow lantern Mar 10, 2021, 11:44 PM

#

maybe I then miss interpreted the while execution. So the if statement once it gets activated then runs "forever" until the condition is satisfied

#

and that activation only happens when it is already too late

tbh this is a weird way of updating your previousSpeed. you decrease the speedCache over time without ever setting it again to the actual speed of the plane. why not do
_aircraft limitSPeed (speed aircraft - 10) on a loop?
This code looks very prone to loosing connection to realitiy

It's inside an addon folder which is inside a mod folder yes

Okay

Do you see if the mod is loaded in the log file?

You mean the rpt or something else

Yeah

It states what mods are loaded, look for yours in there

#

Hm also you can search ingame in the config browser for your mod to make sure it was loaded

#

Sorry i dont know a lot about mods, i once made a module and it barely worked

you might be wondering what's the difference?
the difference is, when you use apply you're doing two loops
this is just one
and sqf loops are slow
avoid them as much as possible

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

Clients' local date is automatically and periodically synchronised with the server date.
In order to change the date without waiting for automatic synchronisation, use remote execution: ```sqf

time will be > 0 exactly in the next frame (unless the game is paused, which can't happen in MP). So it's pointless.
In fact it can work better without sleep (if time is already larger than 0 waitUntil is skipped)

Hi is there a way to spawn a random weapon on the floor from the CfgWeapons classes?

little raptor Mar 11, 2021, 10:47 AM

#

@tough abyss sqf 101:
understanding some confusing data types

anything with {} around it is called code
anything with [] around it is called array
anything with "" around it is called string

how do commands work? there are 3 types of commands:

nullar (no arguments): like player
unary (1 argument, which is always on the right): e.g. ! condition, alive _unit, createVehicle []
binary (2 arguments, one on left one on right): e.g. player setPos _pos, "type" createVehicle [0,0,0], 1+2

you can simply look at the description of the command on wiki to understand everything now:

Syntax:
unit in vehicle
Parameters:
unit: Object - entity person
vehicle: Object - entity vehicle
Return Value:
Boolean
this is a binary command
left argument: object
right argument: object

object in object

#

@tough abyss now what is wrong with what you're doing?
_x !( in "B_APC_Tracked_01_CRV_F")

you're using in as a unary command (in "...")
your right hand argument is a string (notice the "...")

_x !in "B_APC_Tracked_01_CRV_F" ?

you can just use this:

_wpn = configName selectRandom _wpnClasses;

it's ok that you don't know some commands
we can help you with that
I was trying to teach you how to understand the commands and use the wiki better 🙂

How would i pull this off ?

selectRandom[_pistolConfigs];
and then createVehicle on it?

tough abyss do i have to manuall put conditions for each mask type

no

#

also why units west + in list?

#

simply use forEach list RadiationZone

#

even this is faster than that ( I mean west + in list):
forEach (units west inAreaArray RadiationZone)
(but just use the above code, not this one, since you already have a trigger)

the simplest and fastest way to exclude is this:

_pistolConfigs = _pistolConfigs - _exludedPistols;

and remove that from inside the configClasses condition

100 times faster

since your array is smaller and you're getting all weapon configs just use the smaller array

if it may contain some classes not found in cfgWeapons (e.g because of mods, dlcs) etc., use arrayIntersect

since you create them yourself there is no need

#

for event handler

heady quiver Mar 11, 2021, 1:17 PM

#

The plan is to create them (dynamic loot) but i want that action on all of them

#

so i can basically just merge those together and its not heavy to load?

little raptor Mar 11, 2021, 1:18 PM

#

that's what I said 😕

little raptor Mar 11, 2021, 1:19 PM

#

heady quiver so i can basically just merge those together and its not heavy to load?

it won't be any different than any other method you planned to use (such as event handlers)
(it's even faster)

heady quiver Mar 11, 2021, 1:21 PM

#

how would this work ?

#

spawnLootableMillCrate = {

For some reason this only creates 1 first add kit anyone knows wqhy?

cosmic lichen Mar 11, 2021, 2:38 PM

#

Does this even work?

#

You should be creating a weapon holder with createVehicle and then add items to it

heady quiver Mar 11, 2021, 2:39 PM

#

it creates one medical thingy x)

cosmic lichen Mar 11, 2021, 2:39 PM

#

Yes

heady quiver Mar 11, 2021, 2:39 PM

#

mmm

cosmic lichen Mar 11, 2021, 2:39 PM

#

Because the kit is not a weapon holder but an object the player can pick up

heady quiver Mar 11, 2021, 2:39 PM

#

yea i want to spawn like 3 for example 🤔

cosmic lichen Mar 11, 2021, 2:40 PM

#

_holder = createVehicle ["weaponHolderSimulated", getPosATL player vectorAdd [0,0,0.1], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
_holder addItemCargoGlobal [_rndItem, 5];

#

Now there will be 5 first aid kits in the weapon holder

heady quiver Mar 11, 2021, 2:41 PM

#

Nope

#

Not doing anything now

#

searchMedical = { 

     // Allowed items in Loot Table 
     _items = [ 
     'Item_FirstAidKit'
     ]; 
     
     
     // Select random item from loot table 
     _rndItem = selectRandom _items; 
     
     // Create item on ground after search 
     _holder = createVehicle ["weaponHolderSimulated", getPosATL player vectorAdd [0,0,0.1], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
     _holder addItemCargoGlobal [_rndItem, 5];
     

};

current code

#

trying it with a pistol works but not with medical kit.

cosmic lichen Mar 11, 2021, 2:46 PM

#

the classname is wrong

#

Item_FirstAidKit is an item you can place

heady quiver Mar 11, 2021, 2:46 PM

#

oh..

cosmic lichen Mar 11, 2021, 2:46 PM

#

FirstAidKit is the classname for the inventory item.

heady quiver Mar 11, 2021, 2:47 PM

#

thats it

#

TY

#

searchCivBackpacks = {

     // Allowed items in Loot Table 
     _items = [
        'B_FieldPack_blk',
        'B_FieldPack_cbr',
        'B_FieldPack_ghex_F',
        'rhs_sidor',
        'rhs_assault_umbts'
     ]; 
     
     
     // Select random item from loot table 
     _rndItem = selectRandom _items; 
     
     // Create item on ground after search 
     _backpackHolder = createVehicle ["weaponHolderSimulated", getPosATL player vectorAdd [0,0,0.3], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
     _backpackHolder addBackpackCargoGlobal [_rndItem, 1];

};

Why does this work when i execute it in the game but when i call the function to it, it doesnt?

#

Seems to work again

#

Guys hello, recently i've tried to make a sequence of 3 animations i've put them into an sqf file and made a trigger do the job, the problem is that the unit only do one animation.

Inside SQF file:
bot1 switchMove "acts_millerChooper_in";sleep 3.966;
bot1 switchMove "";
bot1 switchMove "acts_millerChooper_loop";
sleep 23.100;
bot1 switchMove "";
bot1 switchMove "acts_millerChopper_out";
sleep 3.599;
bot1 switchMove "";

bot1 switchMove "acts_millerChooper_loop";
sleep 23.100;
bot1 switchMove "";
bot1 switchMove "acts_millerChopper_out";
sleep 3.599;
bot1 switchMove "";``` you didnt space the sleep perhaps

#

hold up le me check

dark pecan Mar 11, 2021, 4:02 PM

#

at first i did spaced, but it still happened

winter rose Mar 11, 2021, 4:02 PM

dark pecan Guys hello, recently i've tried to make a sequence of 3 animations i've put them...

do you use execVM?

dark pecan Mar 11, 2021, 4:03 PM

#

yep, i used it in the trigger

#

the 1st animation the unit did, but the 2nd freezed and at the 3rd it did the correct animation

#

at the beginning i thought it was because of the loop timming from sleep command but then i've added the correct time wich is "23.100" and it still happened

#

does the animation "loop" have something to do with it ?

tough abyss Mar 11, 2021, 4:05 PM
