Is the UI namespace somehow linked with the mission namespace and I don't know it?
no but arrays are passed as references

#

maybe that's your issue

dreamy kestrel
#

I'm not sure I understand. In this scenario, literally first time ever the function is invoked to my knowledge, uiNamespace should have no idea what the _oldFactoryView was. so should be []. But yet isEqualTo is reporting true, 'no change'.

copper raven
#

are you sure _newFactoryView is not an empty array then?

dreamy kestrel
#

This is the log:

13:03:22 [MY] [15511.9] [PRODUCTIONMGR] [fn_productionMgr_onChanged] Entering: [count _oldFactoryView, count _newFactoryView]: [21,21]

copper raven
#

well then you're setting it somewhere else before this function is ran

dreamy kestrel
#

obviously, but I am scanning the code for those opportunities, I do not see it.

uiNamespace doesn't reset with mission iirc

copper raven
#

that might very well be it

dreamy kestrel
#

oh wait what?

#

so I should explicitly nilify variables I know I would be using...

#

like onLoad, etc

dreamy kestrel
copper raven
#

i mean what are you even storing in there?

#

maybe you should just store it in missionamespace

winter rose

(or localNamespace if you fear storing UI elements)

Oh Arma you are so much fun...

I'm trying to have different colors represent the difficulty based on the difficulty and this is my best attempt. Anyone able to point me in the right direction?

_difficulty = "Easy"; 
    _waveNum = 4; 
    {
        switch (_difficulty) do
        {
        case "Easy"      : { _waveColor = "#00FF00" };
        case "Moderate"  : { _waveColor = "#FFFF00" };
        case "Hard"      : { _waveColor = "#FF0000" };
        case "Nightmare" : { _waveColor = "#000000" };
        default { hint "!Error!\nChoosing Difficulty Color\n!Error!" };
        };

        titleText [
        format ["<t font='TahomaB' size='6.0' shadow='1' shadowColor='#000000' shadowOffset='0.05'>Wave %1</t>
                <br/>
                <t font='PuristaSemibold' size='2.0'><</t> <t font='PuristaSemibold' color='%3' size='2.5'>%2</t><t font='PuristaSemibold' size='2.5'>> Difficulty</t>",
        _waveNum, _difficulty, _waveColor], 
        "PLAIN", 
        3, 
        true, 
        true];
        titleFadeOut 3;
    } remoteExec ["call", 0];
#

It's displaying:

Wave 4
 Easy > Difficulty

with no color change

do you now want it to say "Difficulty"?

Question I couldn't find the answer to when googling and looking at CBA Wiki.

When using the XEH events like InitPost is that executed on a per unit basis or per client?

I'm trying to register CBA eventhandlers to specific AI units, but I don't seem to have wrapped my head around the relationship with AI units and adding eventhandlers just for them. How do I target specific AI units with code as part of "their" init?

I looked at CBAs Class Event Handler and then do an init version that registers the CBA eventHandlers, so I would be able to run targetEvent from other clients to be executed on the AI unit.

Context: Trying to use targetEvent on a specific type of AI unit, which should then run the corresponding code on the AI. e.g. disable part of the AI.

When using the spawn ai module, it gives you the option to blacklist a group that you dont want to be able to spawn. But you need the classname of the group you want to blacklist. I cant find one for any group. I can only find classnames for individual men/objects/vehicles. Does anybody know where to look?

Is there anyway I can return a list of all available Module Icons?

Something like:

"\a3\modules_f\data\portraitmodule_ca.paa"
"\a3\Modules_F_Curator\Data\iconCAS_ca.paa"
"\a3\Modules_F_Curator\Data\iconOrdnance_ca.paa"

Or, even better...
Is there a way I can view all available Module Icons from within Arma?

If I was to add custom code that should be run on init for specific type of AI units, how would I go about that? So it also gets applied if zeus spawns new units of this type?

untold copper
wicked fulcrum
#

I am already using CBA. And was convinced it had something, but couldn't quite figure it out.

So using that, would I add that in init-code for all clients, or only the server? As I recall it would only run on clients where the units were local?

#

Or should I ideally add it to the XEH initPost as classname config?

Hello, I am currently trying to set up a vehicle so that it cannot be completely destroyed. I came across a solution in the forum, but the vehicle is still simply destroyed. Is it possible, since ACE is running, that I need something special here?

// First try
this addEventHandler ["HandleDamage",{!(_this#7 in ["HitHull","HitAmmo"])}];
// Second try
this addEventHandler ["HandleDamage",{!(_this in ["HitHull","HitAmmo"])}];
// Third try
spz_1 addEventHandler ["HandleDamage",{!(spz_1 in ["HitHull","HitAmmo"])}];

I was excute this code in the vehicle init field.

I notice the UGV have two AIs in them. One for driver and one for turret. Can they have different locality between them?

As currently I am executing the following in an event raised on target-client to the driver:

    {
        _x disableAI "all";
    } forEach (crew _unit);
    systemChat "disabled all AI";

However I notice on repeated toggle of "enableAI" and "disableAI" that sometimes the turret still fires some rounds after it has been disabled. But the driver always stops moving.

Any ideas as to how to make a popup target not go down until 2 rounds have hit the target? I know we would have to do an event handler. But Im not sure where to even start.
Also, I can make a target move in single player, but when I do multiplayer, it doesnt move but teleports to the position as if the animation is being played on the server but not the clients. This is the block of code placed in the Init of the Table Object that Im using with an addaction. Should this be in a remoteexec?

this addAction ["Move 35m", "[l3t, [l330m, l320m]] spawn BIS_animateMoveSmooth;"];
this addAction ["Move 30m", "[l3t, [l30m, l330m]] spawn BIS_animateMoveSmooth;"];}```

Would there be a way to restrict spectating only to the same side?
I'm currently using MenuPosition and Spectator respawn templates and having respawn options next to the spectator options is working perfectly fine and I was able to make players unable to use freecam, etc. Now I just need to make sure that they couldn't spectate the opposing side.

I'm wondering if there's a variable or something I can add to initPlayerLocal.sqf or if I have to edit the spectator mode through another file. This is what I've got in it currently.

    missionNamespace setVariable [_x, true];
} forEach [                                    
    "BIS_respSpecShowFocus",            
    "BIS_respSpecShowCameraButtons",    
    "BIS_respSpecShowControlsHelper",    
    "BIS_respSpecShowHeader",            
    "BIS_respSpecLists"                    
];
#

I know of BIS_fnc_EGSpectator and I tested it but couldn't make it function properly alongside the respawn menu

#

Another option would be to disable the respawn menu and instead have players automatically respawn on new locations. Currently I have it set so that respawn locations are available only when the mission tasks are not in progress and then a new respawn pops up after a task has been completed, so people who die during the task would have to spectate until it is finished.

#

Might just go with that actually.

Anone got any idea on how to get the AI to use rocket-launchers on buildings? F.ex

If (_Building IsTypeOF "CargoTower") then {
                                            Add building to target-list;
                                            };

So that The AI will use an rpg on the Building itself if he is not previously engaged with other enemies

Hmm so like a invisible(hideGlobal) turret attached to the structure, then delete it if the building is detsroyed?

  [9028, 20100, 0]
] or [[], ["water"]] call BIS_fnc_randomPos;
``` would `_location` return either one of the given locations, or a random location with a 50% chance of each?

{ _x == 5 } count [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6] == 2 // could that be enough?
cunning oriole
#

ok thanks ill mess around with something like that tmrw 🙂

winter rose
#

okido! tell us here if needed

past wagon
#

I think I found a better way of doing what I was thinking:```sqf
_locationsArray = [
[14085, 18347, 0], 1,
[12938, 13874, 0], 1,
[12011, 13241, 0], 1,
[9028, 20100, 0], 1,
[8371, 18273, 0], 1
];

_randomLocation = [[], ["water"]] call BIS_fnc_randomPos;
_locationsArray pushBack _randomLocation;
_locationsArray pushBack 5;

_location = selectRandomWeighted _locationsArray;

#

how does that look?

should work

    params ["", "", "", "_type"];
    if (cash < 200) exitWith {hint 'Insufficient cash'};
    _veh = _type createVehicle getMarkerPos 'Mrk'; sleep 1; _veh setDir markerDir 'Mrk'
  }, _x];
} forEach ListVehicle;
upbeat quartz
#

@little raptor .... Perfection ! Thank you very much 🙂

#

params is classname ?

little raptor
#

no

#

params is a command

#

in simple terms, it maps the elements of an array to the given variables:

[1,2,3] params ["_var1", "_var2", "_var3"];
//now _var1 = 1, _var2 = 2, etc.
#

when you use that as a unary command (no array to the left, i.e. just params ["_var1",....]), the array is _this

#

so what I wrote above in that action code is actually:

_this params ["", "", "", "_type"];
upbeat quartz
#

It's quite complicated to understand, but I'm going to take it little by little

#

Your first code works perfectly, I'll take it from there to do more

little raptor
#

well in sqf you can pass arguments to the code like this:

[1,2,3] call {
  //_this in this code is [1,2,3]
};

when you call a code, you get a _this, which is what was passed to the code. in the above example, _this is [1,2,3]

upbeat quartz
#

I see, I'm going to practice more and go to the wiki

little raptor
#

object addAction [title, script, arguments,...]
and then inside the code:

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

I just skipped _target and _caller and _actionID:

params ["", "", "", "_type"];
#

you fetch the argument like that

#

you could just write:

_type = _this#3;
upbeat quartz
#

For now I'm just going to do a simple trade addAction

#

I just figured you'd be interested

#

Is it possible to create a marker inside _target this way or do I need to create a new function and pass _target as a variable then do it internally?

warm hedge
#

inside _target
Define?

past gazelle
#

_target = cursorTarget; (checked for man/tank/boat etc)

#

so it would be an object

warm hedge
#

I didn't said “what is the definition of _target”, but “what do you mean”

past gazelle
#

Oh, inside _target, well. I just don't want to reuse the same variable for each marker. So I figured internalizing it to the object was the way to go.

warm hedge
#
  1. setVariable doesn't take commands, just like every commands don't
  2. You can use ANY name (string) to create a marker (even if it doesn't make sense for humans)
  3. setMarker** commands do need the marker to run
  4. I assume the goal for you is sqf _marker createMarkerLocal ["somename",somewhere]; _target setVariable ["marker",_marker];
past gazelle
#

Oh that would work even when the function is run again and again? Oh! I just pass the whole marker after it's made?

#

Will try it!

#

Hmm, second time I go to run the function it doesn't create a new marker...

Oh well, got darkmode working in notepad++ so who cares if it's a long night!

A3 simulation is handled by a single thread as far as I know.
Aside from that: You have 200 AI. That means you have 200 separate threads (all of them more or less fairly simple FSMs), all competing for the same resource(s), causing increased scheduler load, overhead and congestion.

pulsar bluff
#

is also would require basically an engine rebuild

#

probably wont even get it in arma 4

pliant stream
#

for a cpu with N logical cores, N realtime threads is a solid choice. you can have more lower priority background threads for lower priority background work, I/O, etc. but more threads doesn't mean more faster. much of AI would be considered realtime work, though there might be some tasks which could be done in the background

past gazelle
#

Oddly, I wonder why they don't change single player Arma to do that...

pliant stream
#

because it wouldn't be helpful in any way

#

actually i lie. it might be helpful if the engine is limited to a single thread for realtime work

proven charm
#

hmm I wonder how multithreaded arma actually is

willow hound
#

The headless client does nothing but run AI that is local to it, thus taking that load off the actual server.
The performance increase originates in more efficient use of the available hardware: If you have 8 cores, A3 doesn't really use all 8 of them (at least not all the time); and as the community has figured out, it's actually beneficial to run a second A3 process (the HC) at the same time which then uses some of the remaining available cores.

pliant stream
proven charm
#

ok

willow hound
#

From what I've read: A single simulation thread, and the renderer is tied to that (which is why your FPS are also tied to that, which is why the A3 bottleneck is the CPU).
No doubt there are more threads for some other stuff, but from what I understand, that's the core.

# proven charm hmm I wonder how multithreaded arma actually is

Some jobs can be multithreaded but only if the task doesn't interfere with eachother.
For example AI simulation, take for example "I'm a AI and I need ammo, I want to pick up this ammo on the ground"
now if you simulate 200 AI's in parallel, and they all try to pick up that same ammo.... uh.

Same for getting into vehicle, and hundreds if not thousands of other things

#

But there are ofc also things that can be done in parallel. 50 AI groups want to pathfind from point A to point B.
Well the pathfinding doesn't actually modify any data, it can be done in parallel without interfering with eachother, and that is what Arma does.

proven charm
#

@still forum makes sense thx

pliant stream
#

maybe if they don't produce any SQF events with return values and you defer the rest

#

or you lock for any SQF event, which would be pretty bad

still forum
#

Most of the simulation multithreading is in form of micro jobs.
"I need to calculate this thing a thousand times, lets do it on all CPU cores" and there are tons of micro jobs running every frame.
I'm now upgrading some script commands to make use of it and they become like 5x as fast.

But again can only do that if the jobs don't interfere with eachother

proven charm
#

maybe you can make whole scripting engine run on its own thread?

still forum
#

no

#

well yes. if you pause the mainthread in the meantime

#

which wouldn't make any sense

proven charm
#

hmm ok

pliant stream
#

running untrusted user scripts concurrently would require an entirely different approach to scripting. it would be kernels with restrictions on what they can do, and they would have to declare up front the resources they touch and how they touch them

errant jasper
#

The synchronization overhead of that would probably results in even worse performance, since you can't declare many things up front. You don't know what object might trigger an event handler, and you don't know which objects a nearestObjects call will return. The alternative would require scripts to "lock" stuff and etc. and kill the entire scripting scene except for 1%

pliant stream
#

no you would never do this for events

#

it would be more like "each frame, for each vehicle: given read access to its position and rotation i want to mutate its damage"

still forum
#

You can do such things in Intercept if you really want to.
For some things it makes sense

All script commands can only be accessed in main thread, but you can do maths and logic and calculations all outside of script

ListUnit=["B_officer_F","B_Soldier_F","B_soldier_LAT_F"];

{
  _this addAction [format ["Buy %1", getText(configFile >> "CfgUnit" >> _x >> "DisplayName")], {
    params ["", "", "", "_type"];
    if (cash < 50) exitWith {hint 'Insufficient cash'};
    _veh = _type createUnit getMarkerPos "mrk_5";
  }, _x];
} forEach ListUnit```

I don't know where to place the line
little raptor
#

createUnit I mean

#

first of all, there are two syntaxes, and you use neither

#

second of all, one of them doesn't return anything, which you shouldn't use

Yes I think he's full of mistakes ^^

Okey I'll try to do that 🙂 it's true that it's better to learn by yourself. I will come back to you in .... few hours 😆

Noted,

thick chasm
#

_pipcam setVectorDirAndUp [[0,0,0],[0,0,-10]];

#

what is this numbers

#

?

warm hedge
thick chasm
#

yes but what is vectorup

#

I know how work vectordir, but vectorup not

winter rose
#

the "point up" direction (e.g from feet to head for a soldier)
so [0,0,1] means "point up", [1,0,0] means "point right" etc

thick chasm
#

i know

#

but setVectorDirAndUp have two coordinates

#

if the vector would 1 coordinate it would very easy

winter rose
#

dir and up

#

setVectorDir and setVectorUp exist separately @thick chasm

thick chasm
#

I think I have already understood

#

the first coordinate is the vector and the second is the rotation of the vector

#

no?

winter rose
# 
obj setVectorDirAndUp [theVectorDir, theVectorUp];
```at that point I think I don't know what you do not understand?
thick chasm
#

idk

little raptor
thick chasm
#

vectorDir select that if i want to see to X= +1 [1,0,0]

#

but i dont know what do vectorup

#

rotate the object?

#

Im configurating that script


_pipcam = "camera" camCreate [0,0,0];
_pipcam setVectorDirAndUp [[0,0.66,-0.33],[0,0.33,0.66]];
_pipcam cameraEffect ["Internal", "Back", "piprendertg"];
_pipcam camSetFov 0.4;

_campos = getposatl car;
_campos set [2,30]; 
_pipcam setpos _campos;```
#

is for a camera

little raptor
#

@thick chasm

WorldSpace.png
#

the red one is vectorDir

#

green one is vectorUp

#

(in model)

#

for example, for the model to point to North ([0,1,0]) and lie on its left side:

_obj setVectorDirAndUp [[0,1,0], [-1,0,0]];
#

a model pointing north but standing upright:

_obj setVectorDirAndUp [[0,1,0], [0,0,1]];
#

if you still don't get it, you need to learn some space geometry

#

also one obvious fact: vectorUp dot vectorDir must be zero

#

(they must be perpendicular)

#

for cameras, vectorDir is where you want the camera to point

#

vectorUp usually sets the pitch/bank

thick chasm
#

AHHHHHH THANKS YOU

#

the vectors must be perpendicular

#

this is the key

little raptor
#

if you don't want the camera to bank (only pitch, i.e look up down) you can obtain vectorUp from this:

_vectorDir = _point1 vectorFromTo _point2;
_vectorUp = _vectorDir vectorCrossProduct [_vectorDir#1 * -1, _vectorDir#0, 0];

#

stupid question probably, but i'm trying to get the classname of a fired projectile from unit _x .
i have therefor put the following in unit _x init
'_x addEventHandler ["Fired", {hint (typeOf (_this select 7));}];'

this however returns the classname of the unit (_x), not the projectile. What have i misunderstood about eventhandlers?

Hello everyone. I'm having an issue lately wich is: In Editor i put an Insignia in a controllable unit. When i press respawn the Insignia doesn't appear on the arm.
Lou Montana provided me a code to add in .sqf file but so far didnt worked I dont know if i did something wrong in what i did or there is something that i am missing.

Code:
{
_x addMPEventHandler ["MPRespawn", {
params ["_unit", "_corpse"];
private _insignia = [_unit] call BIS_fnc_getUnitInsignia;
[_unit, _insignia] call BIS_fnc_setUnitInsignia;
}];
} forEach units playersGroup;

willow hound
dark pecan
#

they are all players

little raptor
dark pecan
#

yes

#

i defined the entire group

little raptor
#

not sure if you can get a dead unit's insignia

#

params ["_unit", "_corpse"];
private _insignia = [_unit] call BIS_fnc_getUnitInsignia;

#

probably should do [_corpse] call BIS_fnc_getUnitInsignia;

#

_unit is the new unit that spawned instead

#

so you're doing nothing (setting unit's insignia on unit) meowsweats

#

if that doesn't work either, store the unit's insignia in the unit's var space using setVariable and use that when it dies

dark pecan
#

ill make the first change and see

winter rose
#

ah true that

#

use corpse to get the info from the corpse, indeed

I fixed BIS_fnc_getUnitInsignia doc at the same time

dark pecan
#

so the code should be like this ? :

{
_x addMPEventHandler ["MPRespawn", {
params ["_unit", "_corpse"];
private _insignia = [_corpse] call BIS_fnc_getUnitInsignia;
[_unit, _insignia] call BIS_fnc_setUnitInsignia;
}];
} forEach units playersGroup;

little raptor
#

yes

dark pecan
#

nothing changes ;_;

little raptor
#

where did you put the code?

dark pecan
#

in a file called initServer.sqf

winter rose
#

oh, not "initServer.sqf.txt" ?

dark pecan
#

no

little raptor
#

are you the server?

dark pecan
#

yes

little raptor
#

I recommend that you put the code in initPlayerLocal.sqf, and change it as follows:

# 
params ["_player"];
if (group _player == playersGroup) then {
  _player addMPEventHandler ["MPRespawn", {
    params ["_unit", "_corpse"];
    private _insignia = [_corpse] call BIS_fnc_getUnitInsignia;
    [_unit, _insignia] call BIS_fnc_setUnitInsignia;
  }];
};
dark pecan
#

roger that

little raptor
#

if all players are in that group you can omit the if

dark pecan
#

with the code that you provided, it didn't worked.

little raptor
#

are all players in that group?

dark pecan
#

yes

#

i even created a new world with only 1 player and 1 respawn in VR

#

and it didnt worked there.

little raptor
#

so this'll do:

params ["_player"];
_player addMPEventHandler ["MPRespawn", {
    params ["_unit", "_corpse"];
    private _insignia = [_corpse] call BIS_fnc_getUnitInsignia;
    [_unit, _insignia] call BIS_fnc_setUnitInsignia;
}];
dark pecan
#

ok

little raptor
dark pecan
little raptor
#

so still didn't work?

dark pecan
#

no ;_;

#

the squad leader is the one that (for now) has a insignia so im always testing that unit

#

but nothing..

#

does ACE have anything to do with it ?

little raptor
#

does ACE have anything to do with it ?
I don't think so
try this:

params ["_player"];
[] spawn {sleep 1; systemChat "init..."};
_player addMPEventHandler ["MPRespawn", {
    params ["_unit", "_corpse"];
    [] spawn {sleep 1; hint "activated..."};
    private _insignia = [_corpse] call BIS_fnc_getUnitInsignia;
    [_unit, _insignia] call BIS_fnc_setUnitInsignia;
}];

if the code actually executes you'll get a hint

#

hold on

#

added another one

#

you should see two messages: one saying init... which is shown at startup, and another one saying "activated..." when you respawn

dark pecan
#

im back, ok im going to test it now

#

both messages showed up

#

the init message and activated hint

#

but the insignia not there

little raptor
#

@dark pecan what about:

params ["_player"];
_player addMPEventHandler ["MPRespawn", {
    params ["_unit", "_corpse"];
    private _insignia = [_corpse] call BIS_fnc_getUnitInsignia;
    systemChat str _insignia;
    hint str ([_unit, _insignia] call BIS_fnc_setUnitInsignia);
}];
dark pecan
#

one second

little raptor
#

checking to see if it returns an insignia at all

#

and if it sets it

dark pecan
#

it says the name of the insignia

#

and the hint is false

little raptor
#

so it doesn't set it

dark pecan
#

nop

little raptor
#

it should say true

dark pecan
#

im using an insignia from Arma 3 itself

#

but it says false

little raptor
#

if (_unit call BIS_fnc_getUnitInsignia != _class) then

#

🤔

#

try this

dark pecan
#

where should i put that ?

little raptor
#

not that

#

what I'm about to write

# 
params ["_player"];
_player addMPEventHandler ["MPRespawn", {
    params ["_unit", "_corpse"];
    private _insignia = [_corpse] call BIS_fnc_getUnitInsignia;
    [_unit, ""] call BIS_fnc_setUnitInsignia;
    [_unit, _insignia] call BIS_fnc_setUnitInsignia;
}];
#

this ^

dark pecan
#

insignia set

#

so what was basicly happening ?

little raptor
#

change it to this

params ["_player"];
_player addMPEventHandler ["MPRespawn", {
    params ["_unit", "_corpse"];
    private _insignia = [_corpse] call BIS_fnc_getUnitInsignia;
    _unit setVariable ["BIS_fnc_setUnitInsignia_class", nil];
    [_unit, _insignia] call BIS_fnc_setUnitInsignia;
}];
#

it's faster

little raptor
#

so first I remove the insignia

#

then set it

dark pecan
#

hm... alright

#

im going to try the latest one

little raptor
#

done

#

now it's better

#

less network traffic

dark pecan
#

ok thanks, ill save this one then

#

but Leopard since this subject about insignias is on the table

#

this is great

#

but what if i wanted to make for example, if a player profile name has "[OR-1]" it provides that unit that the player is using a specific insignia

#

If the Character name is [OR-1] the unit that he picks should have the insignia "Insigna name" if [OR-2] = "insignia name"

little raptor
#

you can use something like this:

_insignia = call {
  if ("[OR-1]" in name _unit) exitWith {
     "insignia1";
  };
  if ("[OR-2]" in name _unit) exitWith {
     "insignia2";
  };
  if ("[OR-3]" in name _unit) exitWith {
     "insignia3";
  };
  //default insignia in case none of the above match:
  "insignia0";
};
_unit setVariable ["BIS_fnc_setUnitInsignia_class", nil];
[_unit, _insignia] call BIS_fnc_setUnitInsignia;
#

you can also use profileName instead of name

dark pecan
#

and the word that should be replaced with "insignia1" is the actual name of the insignia right ?

                            ([player, _x, 0.1] call BIS_fnc_isInFrontOf &&
                            (((getPosVisual _x) select 2) >= 0) &&
                            {!isObjectHidden _x});
                        };
                    };
little raptor
wind hedge
#

It seems that _vObjectsArray = nearestObjects [_startPos, ["ALL"], _radius]; is even getting triggers and markers near the player?

dark pecan
#

alright and i should replace "name" with "profileName" ?

little raptor
#

idk

dark pecan
#

what if the person name is [OR-1] Hugo

little raptor
#

works

dark pecan
#

is going to change anyway ? cool

little raptor
#

let me make it case-insensitive

#

done

little raptor
#

but markers are not objects

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

dark pecan
little raptor
#

done

dark pecan
#

can i put that code after the one that you did before about applying the insignia ?

#

Like this ?

#

ahaha

it only worked for me

#

not for them

#

i sended you a photo in DM

#

my bad 🤣

little raptor
#

They are reporting me that they can see the insignia from one guy, but not from another and they have the same name

#

not sure what you mean

dark pecan
#

so we are 5 people

#

2 of them can see an insignia on me and in player1

#

but i can only see the insignia on myself. Those who are reporting they cant see theyre own insignia

little raptor
#

idk let me look at the function again

dark pecan
#

ok

#

i used it with "name"

#

not with "profileName"

#

do you think it affects ?

little raptor
#

if they see the insignia on one another it's a network sync issue

#

@dark pecan can you test this too?

sets the insignia after 3 seconds

i will test but a bit later, right now im on an operation but when i do it i'll let you know

while {true} do {
  {

    sleep 10;
  } forEach ["A.paa", "B.paa"];

#

So I have a script that gets the nearest marker to a trigger and then sets its color differently but if a player places a marker closer to the trigger it colors the players marker instead. How would I filter out the player placed markers?

willow hound
somber radish
#

Anyone know if it is possible to use the RTT feature to render text?
For the purpose of making something like an Ingame scoreBoard / message-Board?

final storm
#

I don't believe so but you could always use hidden selections and paa's of characters

somber radish
#

Or Is it possible to attach different textures to the same surface? Like making several jpg files with letters and then place them inside a billboard in the desired fashion

final storm
somber radish
#

Nice

#

You got any resources available I could read up on?

#

I've been googling but cant seem to find anything

final storm
#

No sorry

#

its more of an advanced thing

#

just kinda gotta play around with it

somber radish
#

ok

#

Any hints tho?

final storm
#

use hidden selections

#

and write a function to convert user input to a bunch of setobject texture stuff

#

but you would need to make the model also

somber radish
#

oooh, so I couldnt just use like the vanilla bigScreen, and then ```sqf
_Screen setTexture "H.jpg";
_Screen setTexture "e.jpg";
_Screen setTexture "l.jpg";
_Screen setTexture "l.jpg";
_Screen setTexture "o.jpg";

final storm
#

nope

somber radish
#

It would have to be some kind of mod rigth, not compatible with vanilla arma

as far as i know

(the solution is simple: wrap the code in spawn)

somber radish
#

Yeah It's probably better to make an external function

willow hound
# 
0 = [] spawn {
  //The code I sent
};
somber radish
# 
_Handle = [] spawn {
                     while {true} do {
                                       {
                                        Billboard setObjectTexture [0, _x];
                                        sleep 10;
                                       } forEach ["A.paa", "B.paa"];
                                     }
                    };

Like this

final storm
#

yes but this less spaces

willow hound
#

Indeed.

#

Billboard is supposed to be the variable name of your billboard 🙂

#

Could be, yes. Try converting to .paa.

somber radish
#

So I think I might have a solution for making an ingame leaderBoard.
If you want to write 5 letters:

"Warning, pseudo code coming"
_CharSlot1 = CreateVehicle "UserTexture10m_F";
_CharSlot2 = CreateVehicle "UserTexture10m_F";
_CharSlot3 = CreateVehicle "UserTexture10m_F";
_CharSlot4 = CreateVehicle "UserTexture10m_F";
_CharSlot5 = CreateVehicle "UserTexture10m_F";
{
_x setObjectScale 0.1;
_x AttachTo _Billboard [x, y, z];
_x SetDir 180;
[_x] Call Fnc_SelectCHaracterTexture;
} ForEach [_CharSlot1, _CharSlot2, _CharSlot3, _CharSlot4, _CharSlot5];

That way you avoid Using a mod and you can make some function that will allow you To match the ingame letter (.paa file) with a character from a string (Such as playername, score etc etc)

Suspect the select part

past wagon
#

is there a way I can get an array of which "areas" (triggers or map markers) a unit is in? if I have 15 map markers/triggers, and I want code to run when the unit is not in any of them, how can I do that without doing something repetitive like this:

waitUntil { player not inArea "marker1" && player not inArea "marker2" && player not inArea "marker3" //etc...
little raptor
little raptor
past wagon
#

so, something like this?

waitUntil { ["marker1", "marker2", "marker3", "marker4", "marker5"] findIf { player inArea _x } == -1 };
little raptor
#

Yes but since the array is constant save it into a variable outside the waitUntil

past wagon
#

okay

past wagon
little raptor
#

Not changing meowsweats

past wagon
#

ok...

#

so that would only matter if I wanted to make a change to the array

I should have _haveUniform as boolean

and I don't see why you're not using if (doing that is slower than if)

real tartan
#

one-liners ❤️

little raptor
#

one liner still

#

although since the array is empty maybe not much performance diff:

_haveUniform  = [uniform _unit in _uniforms, true] select ( _uniforms isEqualTo [] );
#

should be benchmarked in the game. idk

copper raven
#

_uniforms isEqualTo [] || {uniform _unit in _uniforms}

yeah that's even better

I'm making a zeus module that will allow me to call in reinforcements and supply drops similar to how the fire support works. Got a bit stuck and would appreciate some input, I believe what I'm after has something to do with the velocity part / atan calculations. I'm a script noob and unsure how to adjust it so the flight path of the plane is a height of 200 or so above the logic module to simulate paratroopers jumping from the aircraft

#

this is the link to the code I have so far, copy paste from the current zeus fire support

real tartan
#

can I achieve recursion with some magic variable ?

// script.sqf
params ["_unit"];

[_unit] execVM "script.sqf";
// [_unit] execVM _thisScript;
copper raven
#

pass the function itself when calling it

#

and then use it

real tartan
# 
// script.sqf
params ["_unit", ["_code", {}]];
[_unit] spawn _code;

// usage
[player, { [_this] execVM "script.sqf"; }];
copper raven
#

yea, but not really

#

don't execVm over and over again

#

you're recompiling the script everytime that way

#

compile it once, i.e compileScript

#

then use spawn/call accordingly

real tartan
#

will probably rewrite to wrap code to function and do recursion calling function

winter rose
#

CfgFunctions plz

real tartan
#

[] execVM _thisScript should work, but not sure how execVM handle full path

copper raven
#

no it wont work

real tartan
#

[] execVM str _thisScript

winter rose
#

stahp 🤣

little raptor
copper raven
#

its pseudocode kinda

#

he wants to recursively call the function again

little raptor
#

still

#

you can just call it inside the spawn (no need for new handle)

copper raven

and i mean i assume that he wont call it without a condition and crash his game 😄

quick question to check if i've understood something correctly concerning multiplayer scripting.
scenario is as follows: i wanna spawn something upon a units death via script. if i just put the "killed" eventhandler into the unit's init field in the editor, this will cause as many eventhandlers as there are players, and subsequently as many spawns.
Is this correct? and if so, how can i circumvent this?

winter rose
#

solution: add the event server-side only:
either withsqf if (isServer) then { this addEventHandler ... }; // bad or, more smarterest, initServer.sqf 🙂

low remnant
#

thats... suprisingly simple. initServer wouldnt work sadly as i won't know at mission start what unit to add the script to.

winter rose
#

how do you decide it then?

#

because init field is even worse in that regard 😃

low remnant
#

player action in mission

#

init is worse in what capacity?

winter rose
#

that you definitely set it from the beginning of a mission

#

in a script it can happen later

low remnant
#

it'll be a zeused mission, i've tested it on a player-hosted local mp server, adding the script into the init box via Zeus interface works.

Anybody know of a way to get the position of the closest trigger from an array of triggers?

little raptor
#

closest to what?

neon swift
#

to a marker or some other object I select

little raptor
#

I think nearestObject works 🤔
if not just use:

_triggers_sorted = [_triggers, [], {_x distance _pos}, "ASCEND"] call BIS_fnc_sortBy;
#

sorts them by distance to pos

#

the closest one is _triggers_sorted#0

neon swift
#

this looks awesome. Will check it out.

little raptor
#

@neon swift yes nearestObject works too:

_nearestTrigger = _pos nearestObject "EmptyDetector"

but:

#

Hardcoded radius is 50 meters

#

@wind hedge regarding the question you asked before: just do:

_objs select {!(_x isKindOf "EmptyDetector")};
little raptor
#

all commands are better than functions

#

altho I think BIS_fnc_selectRandom is now a wrapper for selectRandom...🤔

#

it's only there for backward compatibility

winter rose

little raptor

#

I have several arrays defined in the mission description.ext, each array is a collection of triggers on the map. I'm bringing the array into the funtion by...

_fArray = getArray (missionConfigFile >> "arraysBeaverTrail" >> "myArrays" >> _array);

where _array is the name of the array I want to sort.
Then,
`
_distSortArray = [_fArray, [], { _pos distance _x }, "ASCEND"] call BIS_fnc_sortBy;

_trig = _distSortArray select 0;
`
_trig should be the trigger I want but the code gets stuck at the BIS_fnc_sortBy

little raptor
#

you're just bringing in an array of strings

neon swift
#

feared that

little raptor
#

you can convert it to an array of triggers if they're defined in the mission namespace like so:

_fArray = _fArray apply {missionNamespace getVariable [_x, objNull]};
#

but I recommend using array of triggers and not using config

#

that's not what config is for anyway

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

neon swift
#

how would I define the array in the initServer.sqf? Would it be:
missionNamespace setVariable ["TAG_myArray", [trig_1, trig_2, trig_3]];

Hey, I need some help mod making wise.
Me and @paper fulcrum are working on a ace drug extension mod, and we need some help:
We have setup a Medical Menu action, where they can take the drug. The thing is, we want some extra effects to apply after the action, such as stamina increase and chromatic aberration etc. However, we can't figure out how to get those effects to apply after usage (we don't know what and how to add and make sure the script runs). How do we do that?

Can you populate a crates' cargo with the return value of getUnitLoadout?
Trying to make a script that spawns a crate with the contents of the players loadout but can't seem to get it to populate the items/magazines/weapons. Only the clothing.

Can you populate a crates' cargo with the return value of getUnitLoadout?

#

Currently have it saving each part separately and then loading them in that way, though I can't seem to get the items/weapons/mags to work

fair drum
#

because your addItemCargoGlobal you are not using right. you are giving it an array of class names, it needs a single class name. you need to use apply or forEach

for example

# 
vUniform apply {
    SupplyDrop addItemCargoGlobal [_x, 1];
};

little raptor
#

nope

#

white

winter rose
#

heh - funny

little raptor
#

changing the material works!

# 
{
    b setObjectMaterial [_forEachIndex, "\a3\data_f\default.rvmat"];
} forEach getObjectMaterials b;
{
    b setObjectTexture [_forEachIndex, "#(argb,8,8,3)color(1,1,0,1)"]
} forEach getObjectTextures b;
#

makes it yellow

#

you need to change b to this

Good day. If I want to move some sqf files out of the mission pbo because they are used only on server side, where do I start? What are the best practices?

fair drum
#

why would you want to do that?

winter rose
#

"so nobody can look at my sicrits"

little raptor
#

paa texture

cyan dust
little raptor
#

no
A.paa) is incorrect

cyan dust
winter rose
#

(warmer?)

cyan dust
fair drum
#

but really, how much you actually talking

little raptor
winter rose
#

now how many script files do you have krtecek

fair drum
#

cause I bet one sound file for your mission is bigger than all the script files combined

copper raven
little raptor
#

do you want it for a mission, or mod?

#

I think you need the absolute path then

# 
b setObjectTexture [_forEachIndex, getMissionPath "A.paa"]
cyan dust
copper raven
#

no, an addon

#

and load it serverside with your code, then execute it normally in the mission

winter rose
little raptor
#

@torpid swift ok then just "A.paa". no need for getMissionPath

cyan dust
#

@copper raven Do you have have any docs or tutorials on that by chance? All I can find is how to install them. Also, would it work on Linux dedicated server?

Why does nothing from inside the if statement gets executed? The only thing that pops up is the first sideChat from miller1 and that's it. Where did I fuck up?
Thanks in advance.

chat3.sqf

miller1 setRandomLip true;

miller1 sideChat "Good job, Sergeant. Thanks to the laptop you've found, we now know the location of the Lieutenant.";

if (triggerActivated makeDocumentsVisible==true) then {
 //unnecessary sideChats...
} else {
 //more unnecessary sideChats...
};

it does exist

meager epoch

the if?

cyan dust

fair drum
winter rose
meager epoch
#

well, that's what i dont know. it's only a couple of sidechats in both

#

no error gets shown

meager epoch
winter rose
winter rose
fair drum
meager epoch
#

lol

little raptor
#

if you're testing it in eden it's always shown

winter rose
#

except in unscheduled scopes iirc or some funky stuff like that 😄

meager epoch
#

i am testing it, no black box pops up

little raptor
fair drum
#

does your unit have a radio?

meager epoch
#

ye boutta try that

#

they do, yes

fair drum
#

also your player has a radio right?

meager epoch
#

like i said, the first sideChat pops up, just the sidechats inside the if statement dont

#

the player has one as well

little raptor
fair drum
#

well now you know where your error is. its at the conditional

meager epoch
#

well yeah, but what's wrong with it

#

the trigger exists

fair drum
#

send pic of trigger menu

meager epoch
#

and it does its job

little raptor
#

see what it gives you

#

if it doesn't give you anything it's not defined

copper raven
#
  • cfgFunctions preferably
#

and that part is basically what you do in missions

meager epoch
#

gotta get to the point where it does first to see

#

but like i said, the trigger does its job

winter rose
# 
hint format ["activated = -%1-", triggerActivated makeDocumentsVisible];
```to be sure 🙂

short answer: make sure your if condition returns a boolean (true/false)

little raptor
little raptor

#

and how

little raptor
winter rose
#

OK, stop, hold on

#

you
post your full script to sqfbin.com

we'll see

meager epoch
#

just the chat3.sqf?

winter rose
#

just the file this one is in, I don't know what it is called 😐

#

you do realise I don't see your screen right 😄

little raptor
meager epoch
winter rose
#

I don't need names so it gets skipped 😃

#

so "just the file content" yes please

meager epoch
#

xd

#

yeye doing it rn

#

my pc is shitting itself from running arma 3 and chrome at the same time

#

So give it a sec

meager epoch
#

pasted, saved

fair drum
#

post linky

meager epoch
#

Oh

winter rose
#

now you keep the generated link for you
post the generated link here so we can see it

meager epoch
fair drum
#

so

meager epoch
#

enjoy my top notch coding

fair drum
#

you see the colors right?

little raptor
#

you have a "

winter rose
#

don't you see something wrong here? 🙂

meager epoch
#

uh oh

winter rose
#

L16: sleep 8;";

meager epoch
#

lol

#

i swear i went over the code like 10 times

#

how did i not see that

winter rose
#

use Visual Studio Code with the SQF plugin to save you (and us) some time

#

really, use it

little raptor
meager epoch
#

but, shouldnt it execute till that part

winter rose
#

no.

meager epoch
#

well thanks for the help lol :d

winter rose
#

(and don't look at line 34, either)

meager epoch
winter rose
#

with what do you edit SQF?

meager epoch
#

Notepad++

winter rose
#

…VSCode please
even N++ has a syntax highlighter for SQF if you want

meager epoch
#

How do I enable it

map and _map?

#

are you sure that _map is defined?

#

no

#

if you want to add animations to the main map, use the commands without ctrl prefix

#

the ctrl ones are for user-defined map controls

#

?

#

did you even read?

#

Does anyone know what could possibly cause all of the code in missions various triggers, inits and such in call {} ?

#

I'm thinking it might be a mod or something

You updating your CBA version

#

CBA added that (but hid it from you because its confusing) to workaround a bug.
Bug was fixed, CBA removed it (and is also not hiding it anymore)

south notch
#

Ok so this is an intentional feature of CBA?

still forum
#

was* yes

south notch
#

Okay

thanks
