I need to run code when players run default actions like Connect to a drone, or open the Vant Terminal, or hack a drone, and many others.

does the "VEHICLEINVEHICLEGETIN" waypoint use waypointattachvehicle or waypointattachobject

little raptor
#

Neither

#

It uses ViV as the name says

misty osprey
#

Okay but how do I tell the waypoint which vehicle to Load into

little raptor
#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

hallow mortar
#

It's probably waypointAttachVehicle or the nearest vehicle if no vehicle is attached

#

Fortunately you can test it pretty easily by putting the waypoint near 2 possible candidates, attaching it to one that isn't the closest, and seeing which one it picks

misty osprey
#

The problem I’m having is that no matter which I use the vehicle to be loaded just drives up next to the vehicle I want it to load into and never completes the waypoint

hallow mortar
#

Is the target vehicle unlocked, and does the passenger vehicle fit into the target vehicle?

misty osprey
#

yes

hallow mortar
#

just to prove the point, use setVehicleCargo on it and see what happens

#

if you can't convince the AI to load up on their own, you may need to waitUntil they're close enough and force it using setVehicleCargo

misty osprey
#

ok

Hey all, is there a script or mod that can randomly spawn type/quantity of AI in specific area? I know nothing about scripting yet, but am willing to learn

knotty mantle
#

Hey guys, i have a rather old script which worked very fine the last time i tried it but gives me a CTD every time i run it now. If someone could tell me how to do the proper SQF formatting that i can put it in here without making my eyes bleed i would be very happy.

#

This script basically gives me a VTOL flying from a random point over a fixed point and then heading out to the other side.

#

As i couldnt get the AI to fly a dead straight line and ignore the fighting below it i removed it and am just moving the plane along the axis. As i said this worked out great the last time i did that (tbf that was probably 1,5 to 2 years back). But now it gives me a CTD between iteration 75 and 400 of the loop. Long before it even reaches anything else it should do.

#

This script is run on the server in a Eden MP Session

knotty mantle
#

oh and it is an Status_Access_Violation error btw.

I'm still having issues with triggers pre-maturely activating when loaded from an sqf. It's completely inconsistent as to which obj are being triggered, anyway I can get it to double check before marking as complete or delaying it?

#

If you want I can post all relevant code into sqf bin lmao

winter rose
#

is it "sqf export" result?

late parrot
#

Yeah

winter rose
#

oh, mb then 😄

late parrot
#

I have a select that runs the sqf to load all saved obj but the params are being ignored while being loaded.

winter rose
#

theeen IDK, too many variables

try to isolate the one piece of code that fails

late parrot
#

I was trying that until it started just randomly completing tasks. It's never the same ones lol

#

So I'd rather just run a double check before task completion but have to find a way to incorporate it into the sqf

winter rose
#

no, the best thing would be to identify the issue
otherwise you are attempting to fix in the dark, and that's never good

late parrot
#

I feel the issue is load order but units are spawned in before the trigger or task, maybe I should change it from Unit -> trigger -> Task?

winter rose
#

what is the current order now?

late parrot
#

init-marker-unit-trigger-task-conn/sync

#

module sync/act is last as it should be

#

Could it just be loading improperly on the server?

#

So it goes Obj is used to open Strategic map and when mission is selected to run, on activation it runs
0 = [] execVM "missions\Mission1.sqf" and in the sqf the load order goes sqf [[_objects,_groups,_triggers,_waypoints,_logics,_markers],[_objectIDs,_groupIDs,_triggerIDs,_waypointIDs,_logicIDs,_markerIDs]]

winter rose

dunno 😬
seems too complex / unclear / never dealt with SQF export too

is there a way to grab the dimensions of a .paa texture ingame?

warm hedge
#

Resolution?

fair drum
#

yeah that's what i mean

#

just don't want to go and search through some mod files to find the resolution of a flag and pull it up

warm hedge
fair drum
#

ah poo not on dev atm 😦

warm hedge
#

But the 2.06 update is almost here I think

#

Anyways if theres a way that's the command

little raptor
fair drum
little raptor
fair drum
little raptor
#

it means the resolution of the image that you put into the diary

#

so the texture can be any res you want

fair drum
#

hmm I'll test it then. hope if I just put a x value of 370 that it will follow ratio and auto size the y down. As is, with this flag texture, its 512x256 and if I don't put it a x or y value, it cuts off the right side of the flag

little raptor
#

Maximum width supported seems to be 370 pixel
I don't think it's correct either

#

it probably depends on the maximum font size based on user's display settings

fair drum
#

so just messed with the width value. it will keep the aspect ratio the same and size it down if you don't put in a height value

little raptor
fair drum
#

also, can confirm that max width. threw in some large images for fun and they all cut off around that point... 370 +- 10 or so

little raptor
#

if 1080p and small, I think that's what R3vo used too

#

also I think it's the height

#

not width

fair drum
#

i'm 1080p and small

little raptor
#

like I said, it probably uses the max font size

little raptor
fair drum
#

well the height just keeps going and it makes a scroll bar on the side

#

i tested this with a 1024x512 image this time. full height is shown (with scroll bar) but about 370 of width is shown (no scroll bar, just cut off)

little raptor
#

all textures are squares

warm hedge
#

Not necessary?

little raptor
#

well textures have to be, but other images idk

fair drum
#

i might have messed that up since i just loaded it as a .jpg .png then saved it as a .paa I totally forgot about image2paa and how it errors if its not x^2/y^2... then what did I just create lol

warm hedge
#

You shouldn't convert jpg into paa

#

jpg is already acceptable format for Arma 3

fair drum
#

i mean png

#

does arma convert it to .paa in the process? i though it was standard to make everything .paa for speed

warm hedge
#

No? Depends on the “in the process” you mean

still forum
#

jpg are less efficient for Arma.
But for a diary picture or loading screen its fine, but paa is always preferred

winter rose
#

jpg are used for Editor previews 👀

sage dawn
#

as long as each dimension is still power of two

I've used 1024x512, 1024x256 as textures without issues

Is String in SQF a reference type? If I do

_someVar = "%SOMEVALUE%";
_someHashMap = 
createHashMapFromArray [
["a",_someVar],
["b",_someVar],
["c",_someVar],
["d",_someVar]];

Will it use the _someVar link or copy "%SOMEVALUE%" for each record?

little raptor
#

but the question is, why would it matter?

#

I don't think there's any command that can modify strings by reference

Thanks, got it.

So some vehicles come with variations, e.g. the Leo 2SG with/without the camo net on the hull/turret. Is there a way to change that via SQF after a vehicle has been spawned?

these are usually done with animations

#

if you check their config class you should be able to find the animation name

and then you can animateSource it

ok thx, I was just curious

#

soooo i posted this yesterday but i cant see it in the list and therefore dont know if there were any anwsers.

#

This script of mine which worked perfectly 1,5 to 2 years ago is causing STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION - CTDs now for me. Anybody got an idea why that is?

#

Back then i could run this script like 50 times by just spamming "execute on server" and watch those vtols fly straight into each other without any problem. No my game crashes looooong before the plane reaches the trigger area

#

Happens on hosted MP in editor and on dedicated server

#

It crashes ~ between 3 and 8 seconds into the scripts

spark sun
# 
for "_" from 0 to 1 step 0 do{
knotty mantle
#

Yeah... commy told me once that it should be faster than while {true} and i use it since then... i am aware that the difference is probably very very small.

spark sun
#

The new Commy tell you to not do that.

knotty mantle
#

sooo. back to while {true} ?

#

Weeeeell it ran longer but i still got a CTD 😦

cosmic lichen
# proven charm ok thx, I was just curious

In the example @winter rose a new scope is created so exitWithwill not exit the script or the scope that is still needed. It will just exit the scope that was created with call

copper raven
knotty mantle
#

Well... looks like i am screwed. as soon as i have a plane or helicopter anywhere on the map my game crashes... and that is still remaining after i just did a full reinstall of the game 😦

copper raven
brazen lagoon
#

yeah if you're running it in the debug console it'll be unscheduled right?

copper raven
#

nope, unless you declare a variable private in a scope before that

brazen lagoon
#

will it be defined by the time you are calling it?

#

ok, but I mean

#

will the variable still be defined when you are calling it

copper raven
#

would be easier if you showed an example

brazen lagoon
#

basically what sharp said, if the variable points to the code at the time of calling yes it will work

copper raven
#

yes it will work

#

yes

knotty mantle
copper raven
#

yes, aslong as the first if is true

knotty mantle
#

I know my problem. My game is crashing as soon as there is a plane or helicopter on the map. I just dont know a solution. I already did a complete reinstall of Arma 😦

knotty mantle
#

Well. It wasnt the script. Changing the memory allocator actually solved my CTD problem. I am back to being able to crash 50 planes into each other (for testing purposes only ofc)

#

Is there a way to write an eject script if a vehicle is destroyed.

#

Tried a couple things and it didn't work

noble flint
# 
_heli = vehicle player;

if ({alive _x} count crew _object == 0) then{
unassignvehicle vehicle player;
player action ["eject",vehicle player];

This is what I have

tacit tartan
#

_object isnt defined

noble flint
#

Is there a generic definition for helicopters?

#

do I have to name all my helicopters?

tacit tartan
#

you can just define your vehicle like you did

#

as long as they are in the vehicle

noble flint
#

I'm trying to make it so I don't have to define a vehicle

#

And this function will constantly be called.

#

if the vehicle is destroyed.

tacit tartan
#

just make a param

#

or just make a select for allDead

hmm

somber radish
#

I found it quite useful for categorizing weapons, Should be easy to do for vehicles as well

noble flint
#

Is there no way to use a Type name?

#

typeOf

#

or isKindOf

somber radish
#

Well u got ```sqf
_Object IsKindof "Air";

noble flint
#

would that work?

# 
_Object IsKindof "Helicopter";
somber radish
#

It might 🤷

#

This one could be usefull as well

noble flint
# 
[] spawn {
    while {true} do {
        sleep 5;
        if (_Object IsKindof "Helicopter") then {
            hint "yum";
        };
    };
};
#

This wont work because object isn't defined right?

#

...IDK

elder sail
#

Am I correct in my understanding that this doesn't work because the private variables are confined to the {} surrounding them and won't pass to the second line for the hint?

if (isNil {_Test123}) then {private _Test123 = 0;} else {private _Test123 = 1;};
if (_Test123 == 0) then {hint str _Test123;};
if (_Test123 == 1) then {hint str _Test123;};
warm hedge
#

True. The last two ifs won't recognize it

elder sail
#

Is there a specific way to use private variables in if then statements?

warm hedge
# 
private "_test123";
if (isNil {_test123}) then {_test123 = 0;} else {_test123 = 1;};
if (_test123 == 0) then {hint str _test123;};
if (_test123 == 1) then {hint str _test123;};```Still kinda wrong, tho. It should work
elder sail
#

ahh I see

little raptor
#

also use isNil "_var" if you want to check if a var is nil. it's faster

warm hedge
#

True true

little raptor
#

because you privated it before the expression

warm hedge
#

I've just tried to point out the direction without “breaking” it too much

#

But I know the idea

elder sail
#

No no I appreciate both

little raptor
#

I know. it was just a reminder for @elder sail

elder sail
#

I've been using global variables while learning everything, but now ive moved onto optimization for the most part and want to know as much as possible

warm hedge
#

Ah, well

elder sail
#

Thank you both very much, I'll definitely be employing the select isNil idea too instead of my caveman method lmao

little raptor
#

e.g.:

[nearestObjects [...], nearestObjects [...]] select _blabla

is worse and slower than if

fair drum
#

[["Hypoxic",1],["Leopard20",1]]
which is the command that lets me find if "Hypoxic" is in the nested array and grab that index? I don't think in can do that.

little raptor
# 
_arr findIf {_x#0 isEqualTo "Hypoxic"}
fair drum
#

gotcha was gonna try that next if there wasn't a direct way

little raptor
#

(note: it is much slower than find/in)

Is there a way to pull local variables from a separate file? Like if I wanted to have a file that the local variables are written/changed to and then call for their values by another?

#

I'm thinking something more along the lines of basic where is this unit twice per second

#

and doing that for like 20 people

#

without screwing everyones frames lol

#

sounds kinda impossible

little raptor
little raptor
fossil peak
#

lmao hopefully I can write something well then

elder sail
# little raptor you can `#include` it but I don't recommend it

I stumbled on an old forum post about using call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "ScriptName.sqf';to pull local variables from another file but the example they provided doesnt work lol
The only way I think Ive found is to pass the params while executing another script with [_variable1] execVM "ScriptName.sqf"; from within the first

little raptor
#

your script won't see them unless you have defined them in yours, and they're not privated in that file

#

as I said, the best way to do it is #include

fossil peak
#

It looks like the unit capture stuff also simply copies it to clipboard

#

and not to a file

#

so doing it for multiple units at once

#

would be impossible

little raptor
#

scripts can't write to file

fossil peak
#

Hmm

#

that makes sense lol

#

wouldn't wanna inject a virus from arma

elder sail
fossil peak
#

hmm

little raptor
#

and it can copy to clipboard, all of them at once

#

I am not that confident in scripting unfortunately

so that's a rip

What this does is just return what you put in.
So if you build this, and then use the script
"MyExtensionName" callExtension "Hello World" it will return "Hello World" to you
of course replace "MyExtensionName" by your real name

Is there any way to put a texture on a custom simple object from a .p3d model?

Hello, quick question:

Assuming I want to use a function multiple times that involves getting all the units avaliable in the map of opfor, would using the function like this would be more efficient

than this?

```myFucntion [allUnits select {side == EAST}];```

Yeah there*s this:

static void Main(string[] args)
#

Should I wrap the example in that?

put it somewhere else in the class

if debugging a dll directly works, that is

using RGiesecke.DllExport;

        static void Main(string[] args)
        { }

Should I remove the program part? Wrap it diferently?

I'm having an issue with unit capture

#

I can record everything normally

#

after recording, I get the popup on the top right telling me to copy to clipboard

I hit F1, and paste it into my script, but nothing pastes

I know this question has been asked a hundred times. I've been beating my head against it for hours. I can't for the life of me figure out what's going wrong, and I don't know if it's my music file (which DOES play correctly in vlc) or my ARMA.

I'm trying to get custom music in an MP mission. I created a description.ext with the following:

class cfgMusic
{
    tracks[] = {};
    class MusicTrack01
    {
        name = "MusicTrack01";
        sound[] = {"music\approach.ogg", db+10, 1.0};
        titles[] = {0,""};
    };
    class MusicTrack02
    {
        name = "MusicTrack02";
        sound[] = {"music\infiltration.ogg", db+10, 1.0};
    };
    class MusicTrack03
    {
        name = "MusicTrack03";
        sound[] = {"music\escape.ogg", db+10, 1.0};
    };
};

Trying to even just locally playMusic "MusicTrack02"; gets me nothing

#

Interestingly, looking at the log file, when I just try to preview the music via a trigger, I get this:

22:38:04 Sound: Error: File: C:\Users\[username]\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\[profilename]\mpmissions\[mission name]\music\infiltration.ogg not found !!!

That file definitely exists though (I redacted a few things)

#

.. Annnnnnnnnd it's the OGG encoding. Got it working. Thanks anyway!

im trying to convert a zombie infection mission into argo from arma 3

fair drum
tough abyss
#

I just need to convert a couple assets but idk how

fair drum
#

that and if its a zombie mission, it probably has mods and those won't work with argo

tough abyss
#

yes, its just an error with 2 assets from arma 3

fair drum
#

you'll have to open up the mission.sqm file after un-binarizing it and find the asset and delete it in all of its locations

tough abyss
#

un-binarizing???

fair drum
#

if the .sqm file is binarized (typically since it makes things load faster) then you can't open it in a text editor

tough abyss
#

how would i decode it?

fair drum
#

you'll need arma 3 tools for that or mikero's tools

tough abyss
#

ok ty

#

do you by any chance have any good missions for argo?

im trying to do a simple teleport script

#

this addAction ["Enter", {player setPos (-719,-765,12)},nil,1.5,true,true,"","true",5, false,""];
this shows a missing ) error
its behind the -719 the game said

#

where did i go wrong here?

little raptor
sage heath
#

sorry, im new

little raptor
#

anyway, the problem is (-719,-765,12)

sage heath
#

yep

#

uhhhh whats wrong with it exactly?

#

because i modified this from my flag teleport script

little raptor
sage heath
#

usually in that array would be another object

#

ok...so what do i need to use to get it to work with xyz coords?

little raptor
#

i.e. brackets []

sage heath
#

i see

little raptor
#

not ()

#

that's parentheses

sage heath
#

oh i see

#

hey thanks man

#

😄

sage heath
#

soooooooo to add to this

#

the point of the script is to teleport players inside a bunker

but uh, that suddenly stopped working, and im falling through the floor

you are using setPos, don't

but anyways

sage heath
#

hmmm ait

#

so i changed 11.8 (the exact alt to 12, fell through the floor again, will try 12.5 then 12.8

#

higher than that, im above the tunnel

little raptor
#

use getPosATL

sage heath
#

i seeeeeee

#

wait

#

i dont have a getpos

#

this addAction ["Enter", {player setPosATL [- -718.794,-764.335,12]},nil,1.5,true,true,"","true",5, false,""];

little raptor
#

then use getPosATL player to get your ATL coord

#

then put the coordinate there

sage heath
#

wait

#

i noticed something

#

[- -718.794,-764.335,12]

#

ok look at this for a moment, theres something wrong i can feel it

I understand this because I have been working on this issue for over a week. I went through everything I could find. Maybe there is a way to find out what functions are used when using a ballistic calculator? As far as I understand everything that is written there, i think its maybe event handler "maplick" run all function or code for calculation elevation, this event can be assigned at the level of the higher family class.
Is it even possible to look at the events attached to the object and look at them in the middle?

they're not functions afaik

Hey i have a script here that makes dynamic waves of AI spawn and hunt the player thing is i want to limit the amount of groups that are being spawned in each time the loop runs so that only around 2 groups of AI can be spawned at the same time now there are instructions for that by the original script maker but i broke my head for hours just to realize i don't understand shit if anyone could help me with the instructions it would be much appreciated

The instructions:

Yeah.
Set two variables at the top:
Maxgroups - Assigned a number for the maximum number of groups to exist in one time.
GroupsSpawned - Assign the number zero.
Before the loop where you update the way-point for groups reset GroupsSpawned to 0 again.
Then in the loop increment GroupsSpawned per loop (GroupsSpawned )
Then wrap the script where you spawn and set up a new group in an if statement that checks : IF (GroupsSpawned < Maxgroups ) ...

Hello, I have a question,
do you know how to make sure to recover the position (ideally in PositionRelative ) of the most advanced point of a vehicle
Because I am doing a loading script, and therefore to attach this one I have to know the position of the frontmost point, so that it does not fit into a wall x)

No so basically on your server it updates the init whever an item is placed etc from when the mission begins so i copied that as it places objects in the last location and spawns them in

run the code unscheduled

I might have a very obvious mistake, but any idea why my object is not being created ingame?


treePos = ASLToAGL getPosASL randomizedTree;
deleteVehicle randomizedTree;
hintSilent str treeArray;
createSimpleObject [treeArray,treePos];```


//Just for reference. The reason of why createSimpleObject is not making the tree its because it takes ASL coordinates instead of AGL. Once the object is created you still need to position it AGL since the object is underground, converting the ASL position to AGL and then using setPos.
coarse schooner
#

how did randomizedTree get assigned and do your variable's have to be global (missing _ at beginning)?

kindred zephyr
#

randomizedTree is an object in map, code is not global as it is intended to be executed in every object named randomizedTree, as Im creating a forest with variety while manually placing it.

#

now that I think of it, deleteVehicle would be more efficient than hideObject as I already have it position in map 🤔

coarse schooner
#

if you just want a position returned from an asset in editor i'd recommend an empty or system marker and using getMarkerPos 'foobarMarker_0' to get the position

#

no need for deletVehicle hideObject

kindred zephyr
#

13k obviosuly being an exaggeration

coarse schooner
#

just so i understand: you want to be able to toggle the visibility of a generated forest or manually placed forest?

kindred zephyr
#

manually placed forest

coarse schooner
#

ah

#

okay well heres a better solution

#

put your trees in a single named layer in the editor and use hide/show object to loop through the objects in the 3den layer. theres a command i forget the name of that lets you return the objects in a layer

#

bonus you dont need to name every tree

kindred zephyr
#

ah, i think there is a misunderstanding, I do not want to hide and show, but to be able to randomly replace each of the manually placed trees

coarse schooner
#

with a different class of tree?

kindred zephyr
#

treeArray

#

using eden objects mod

coarse schooner
#

so theres a field of tree objects somehwere and they're all currently the same. With your script, you want to change the class of it: deleteVic "tree"; createVic "newTree"?

kindred zephyr
#

ye

coarse schooner
#

ah sitll id reccomend an 3den layer

#

no need to name them all and just use select random like you were

#

should look something like this:

kindred zephyr
coarse schooner
# 
// PSUEDOCODE WILL NOT RUN
_trees = get3denLayerObjectsFoobar "myTrees";
_treeArray = ["class0","class1","class3", ...];
{
  // processing for each tree: _x == current tree
  _pos = getPos _x;
  deleteVic _x;
  createVic [(selectRandom _treeArray),_pos];
} forEach _trees;
coarse schooner
kindred zephyr
coarse schooner
#

i mean technically the stuff in the forLoop will run 13k times XD

kindred zephyr
#

:x

coarse schooner
#

much better than in every init i agree

kindred zephyr
coarse schooner
#

check value of _x

#

it might be an array if you're using getMissionLayerEntities so perhaps _trees = _trees select 0; should be in line 2 outside of for loop so that _trees is an array of objects

kindred zephyr
#

ye, _x is returning an array, and ye, im using getMissionLayerEntities

coarse schooner
#

okay than put that _trees = thing at line 2 after orginal _trees denfinition

#

so that we selct the array of objects we want

kindred zephyr
#

indeed, a start for the array for was missing

#

works great now

I have added an "displayEventHandler" for MouseButtonDown to the mission display, 46. However I can see this also fires when the map or inventory is open. I know I can add an if-check with isNull (findDisplay 602) to check if inventory is open. However that requires me to check any other UI, including modded, that could be open and also use the mouse button.

Is there any smarter way of doing this?

Also seems like the map, id: 12, always returns true, even if the map display is not open?

You can use the Rsc but you will need to write your own script to read data from that as the functions related to that are tied to curator itself, it may and will probably cause issues even if you recreate the same procedure (which I believe is what you want to avoid scripting its functionality?) But that will require you to understand entire curator interface which is a much longer process and imo would not be worth it. But if you really up for it, you can read the stuff in curator modules and curator functions pbos. The part you are interested in starts from the function called showCuratorAttributes.

wicked fulcrum
little raptor
#

use allDisplays, and find if the IDD of any of them is not whitelisted

#

off the top of my head, you should whitelist 0, 12, 46, and 313 at least

wicked fulcrum
#

ahh ofc. Turn the check around instead of looking for what is not allowed. Makes sense. I'll try that approach. Thanks!

yeah. Checking the wiki list of IDD. Gonna check what is needed

Anyone happen to know of a way to check if the spectrum devices "gui" is open? The window with signals you get when right-clicking. (In the limited base-game api of it).

Tried to check if it was a display with allDisplays and if it was a cutlayer with allCutLayers but none includes it.

does anyone know how to script a random chance for a unit to get a certain item in their init?

#

lets say i want a 10% chance of my unit having a document

#

how would i do this?

wicked fulcrum
#

You can use the random function to generate random value. Like

private _randomVal = floor random 10;
// chance of it being less than 1 should be 10%, as there is 10 outcomes. (0-indexed)
if (_randomVal < 1) then {
    // give item
};

I believe each outcome from 0 to 9, should be a 10% chance. So checking for a single of those outcomes should be 10%. Although I am tired and might have missed something with the percentages.

how does one snap to nearest ATL position?

Im creating a simple object and setting its position using setVectorUp however the objects center is in terrain position.
When using createVehicle and stablishing Z as 0 it does contact the bounding box lower face to terrain.

How does one set the simpleObject Z like in createvehicle?

#

I can set the object properly using createVehicle, but since we are talking of A LOT of objects i think is better performance wise to do simple.

I've had a look at that, I can't seem to figure out the correct syntax for it; e.g:

It says Siren On (U) but unless theres another way it's called or something? I've tried something along the lines of:

I'm need to retrieve a particular variable that has been assigned for every vehicle spawned on the map at server start.
_allVehicles = entities "Car";
Returns:

[
1ac46194080# 1449898: quadbike_01_f.p3d,
1ac48644080# 1451073: quadbike_01_f.p3d,
1ac48990080# 1452669: van_01_box_f.p3d,
1ac47fc6040# 1451814: quadbike_01_f.p3d,
... etc.
]```
I'll be doing something like (this is just an example):
```sqf
_UID = "71254621541250000";
_count = 0;
_allVehicles = entities "Car";

    {
        _object = ??????
        _objectUID = _object getVariable ['PersistentUID',1]

        if (_objectUID isEqualTo _UID) then
            {
            _count = _count + 1
            };
    }; forEach _allVehicles

if (_count > 25) then
    { whatever...};```
Is `_allVehicles = entities "Car";` a good way to go about this?  If so, how would I use the result?  Is there a better way?
copper raven
#

_object = ?????? wat, you don't need to assign anything, _x is the current element that's being iterated

grand idol
#

The same but with objects that I'm not interested in.

#

I need to know how to get the target variable on a pre-existing collection of vehicles.

copper raven
#

you can't unless you make your own array with the vehicles you want

#

you can only target a class basically

#

also, just use count instead

grand idol
#

Right, but it's not about counting how many vehicles are on the map or even counting how many of a particular type is. These are persistent vehicles that will populate the session from a database. Once they are spawned on the map, I need to get the owner's UID, which is stored as a variable in the vehicle object. I'm looking for a way to count how many vehicles currently spawned on the map have that specific value assigned to that variable. I can pull them in from the DB and go that way but I'd rather not make it a DB query.

copper raven
#

yes so? use count

#

private _count = {_x getVariable ['PersistentUID',1] isEqualTo _UID} count vehicles

grand idol
#

Ok, I guess I was assuming that I needed to "manually" extract the vehicle or network ID from that array and then ask for the variable.

Id suggest you to try and see if you can achieve what you want with ppEffects. If you really want desynced time, you can simply spam setDate command with a short pause to achieve what you want but that solution becomes complicated once host player goes underground (this time you gotta spam the time for people outside, plus you want the time to move forward like ordinary case etc etc) But play with ppEffects commands a bit and at worst case you can combine with setDate (such combination was more satisfying in my use case). If you dont wanna bother with ppEffects, you can also try using one of setAperture commands.

luckily, this'll be run off a dedicated server so I don't need to worry about the host seeing the wrong time

Hello everyone! I need a little help. An ordinary player in game can spawn an object. That is done using create vehicle script. Now - i would like to give that player a chance to chose a skin from those that are saved inside the mission file and set it as a skin for the object that he has just spawned. Something like spawn an object and then give it a skin.

#

a little note - all of that is in multiplayer so the skin has to be set globally

lapis jungle
#

Someone explain to me why this phenomenon is happening:

private _var0 = ["one", ["two","three"]];
private _var1 = _var0;
_var0 select 1 deleteAt (_var0 select 1 find "two");
[_var0, _var1];

I'm expecting _var1 to remain the value that it was back when I defined it... how do I make sure this is the case?
The above is obviously just a test case for a mod I'm working on, where I'm trying to save an array, call a bunch of stuff (where it will use deleteAt) and then retrieve that same array BEFORE the modifications were made.

I've tried calling the variable like below, since I guess it's being used in reference when I store it into _var1, but this doesn't work either:

private _var0 = ["one", ["two","three"]];
private _var1 = call {_var0};
_var0 select 1 deleteAt (_var0 select 1 find "two");
[_var0, _var1];
hollow thistle
#

both _var0 and _var1 point to the same array reference

#

if you want to copy the array use +

#

private _var1 = +_var0

Use it in your script that spawns the vehicles.

limber panther
#

So i just need something, where they'll type in the name

limber panther
hollow thistle
#

more likely some sort of UI. Or Action, something that will let them choose the skin.

#

Then you have to give them some sensible way to choose from 258 skins for 5 vehicles.

limber panther
#

That's what i'm trying - they can spawn a vehicle and then give them a chance to select a skin for that

Huh, so I guess once you set a variable on an object, the variable is in allVariables regardless whether that value was nil. It was a bit unexpected, because I thought that perhaps the variable would be garbage collected from the object. But I guess that's not the case; it does, however, allow to get a default value from the object since the value was set to nil. Better to check isNil {_x getVariable 'var'}.

How to use SQF syntax highlighting in Discord

```sqf
// your code here
hint "good!";
```
↓

// your code here
hint "good!";

Also you should follow this, plain text is hard to understand the code, although that's what I wrote

keen trout
# 
    {_x setPos getMarkerPos call { 
        if (side _x == blufor) exitWith { 
            "teleport8blue" 
        }; 
        if (side _x == opfor) exitWith { 
            "teleport8red" 
        }; 
        if (side _x == independent) exitWith { 
            "teleport1green" 
        }; 
    }} forEach allPlayers; 
}];

No

keen trout
#

oh what

warm hedge
#

Read what bot says carefully

keen trout
#

oh wait

warm hedge
#

Pro tip: you can edit your post, like this

keen trout
# 
// your code here
this addAction["<t color='#ff9900'>RED V BLUE (LONG)[BRIDGE]</t>",{ 
    {_x setPos getMarkerPos call { 
        if (side _x == blufor) exitWith { 
            "teleport8blue" 
        }; 
        if (side _x == opfor) exitWith { 
            "teleport8red" 
        }; 
        if (side _x == independent) exitWith { 
            "teleport1green" 
        }; 
    }} forEach allPlayers; 
}];

Comment doesn't matter. The first line of sqf is

#

I'm on the phone so can't see the highlight tho

#

setPosATL getPosATL is the idea

keen trout
#

do i replace this setPos getMarkerPos with setPosATL getPosATL

#

ill try anyways but just confirming

warm hedge
#

And replace those marker strings to objects

keen trout
# 

this addAction["<t color='#ff9900'>RED V BLUE (LONG)[BRIDGE]</t>",{ 
    {_x setPosATL getPosATL call { 
        if (side _x == blufor) exitWith { 
            "teleport8blue" 
        }; 
        if (side _x == opfor) exitWith { 
            "teleport8red" 
        }; 
        if (side _x == independent) exitWith { 
            "teleport1green" 
        }; 
    }} forEach allPlayers; 
}];
#

when you meant marker string did you mean the actual marker because thats what i removed

warm hedge
#

"teleport8blue" etc

#

Replace to some object name so it will point the object's position

keen trout
#

oh yeah i did change the variables of the object to teleport8blue teleport8red evct

#

ect*

#

it says type string expected object but i deleted all of the teleport8markers

#

and the teleport1green

#

and assigned the 3 teleports 1 to an arrow object 2 to a ai

warm hedge
#

What this does mean??

keen trout
#

just showing you that theres no string markers

warm hedge
#

What?

keen trout
#

thats all the markers in the game

#

but im getting that error i sent you

warm hedge
#

There is. In your code

keen trout
#

oh okay

keen trout
warm hedge
#

What?

keen trout
#

in the code to get the error

#

sorry if im not to clear

warm hedge
#

Because you didn't followed what I say, replace strings to objects

keen trout
#

sorry

#

"teleport8blue" = objects you mean but idk how to change it because i suck at the code

warm hedge
#

No thats string

#

If there's an object named "obj1", put obj1 so this points the object

keen trout
#

right

#

so i did change the variable names of the objects into teleport8red,teleport8blue,teleport8green

warm hedge
#

No. Markers cannot be pointed like that. You should to place objects in Eden Editor
