John raises interesting points, MGI might be the reason of why you dont see your script being fired, as I stated above, I did my test using my system which is derived from vanilla.

granite sky
#

If the documentation for handleDamage is correct about only the last EH in the chain having its return value counted, then this will probably break MGI anyway and you should do the same thing (spawn + sleep) except with the hit EH.

modern meteor
# 
  [] spawn {
    sleep 2;
    if (lifestate player == "INCAPACITATED" ) then {  
         hint "You lost 5 Campaign points!";                   
        []execVM "points.sqf";
        sleep 3;     
    };
  };
  nil;
}];```
#

this seems to be working with MGI

granite sky
#

I suspect the docs are wrong and it's the last EH that returns a value that's counted, not strictly the last EH.

digital rover
#

EHs are executed in the order they are added

open fractal
#

Don't forget to set a variable so that if the player repeatedly takes damage while incapacitated the score doesn't drop

#

maybe a waitUntil that just runs within the spawned code to reset that variable?

tranquil jasper
#

another installment of 'useless sqf' by dread, a command that guarantees a player closes the game eventually:

(allControls findDisplay 0) apply { _x ctrlEnable false; };
drifting portal
#

Lol

#

They probably end up sending a ticket to the devs

#

Then devs will come frying you here

tranquil jasper
#

would love to see that in the FT "couldn't click on anything on main menu" hahah

drifting portal
#

Can you delete the controls?

tranquil jasper
#

man that is way funnier

#

yeah you can use ctrlDelete instead of ctrlEnable

drifting portal
#

Or you could just change everything in the menu to the kajmain map icon

tranquil jasper
#

I have to try it now and see what it looks like

drifting portal
#

Making the player freak out and do integrity check

drifting portal
#

I presume you already know

tranquil jasper
#

you can't use ctrlDelete but you can do _x ctrlShow false and it breaks the game way faster and funnier haha

drifting portal
#

You could also be extremely evil and give someone an epileptic seizure by changing the colors constantly

hallow mortar
drifting portal
drifting portal
tranquil jasper
#

unfortunately you can't change control style with sqf commands so the picture wouldn't show

drifting portal
#

Well can you change color?

tranquil jasper
#

yeah you can change all kinds of colors, but when you pause or leave a game then it's stuck on that color

drifting portal
#

Damn

#

Thought I can give someone an epileptic seizure

#

Well can you move the control location?

#

It would be funny to flip the whole UI

#

Playing arma in Australia

tranquil jasper
#

Yeah I started looking into all this just to help somebody on the forum but unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to extend the sqf running past pausing the game or going back to menu

drifting portal
#

Like how will I run them on the main menu

tranquil jasper
#

haha yeah you could randomize the position and height/width

drifting portal
#

Sad

tranquil jasper
#

No you can

drifting portal
#

It would be funny to flip the UI then

tranquil jasper
#

as long as there isn't a script that changes it back when the dialog opens, but there probably isn't

#

reason I mention that is because the pause menu enables all controls when you open it, so even if you disable one then it is re-enalbed when you open the menu again

drifting portal
hallow mortar
#

It would be pretty unpleasant if missionside scripting could cause permanent damage to your game outside that mission

drifting portal
#

That's why we need to handicap them from ever resetting it

drifting portal
#

Unfortunately

tranquil jasper
drifting portal
#

Lol

open fractal
#

i vaguely remember using a ui event handler that persisted

#

i think it was ui

drifting portal
#

and caused my user file to corrupt

tranquil jasper
#

^ profileNamespace fuckery

drifting portal
#

I hope

#

well its not because that's where he has done it

tranquil jasper
#

I think you'd have a hard time arguing that you need profileNamespace ability in public zeus lol

#

maybe they should disable it?

drifting portal
#

I know certain guys who use it to crash people

tranquil jasper
#

it'd be pretty ahrd to believe that someone is going to paste in an entire mission into the debug lol

drifting portal
#

thing is

#

pub zeus you can execute commands using compositions

#

on some public zeus servers

open fractal
#

is debug console still available in pub zeus? i haven't been able to access it lately even with the parameter enabled

drifting portal
#

I have made my own debug console using a composition

#

I suggest you do the same

open fractal
#

oh dear

tranquil jasper
#

i'm dying

#

hahah

drifting portal
#

lol

#

public zeus has a lot of restrictions

#

but profilenamespace seems to not be one of them

tranquil jasper
#

if they let you run raw sqf, you can also just save code to your profileNamespace then call it whenever you want

call (profileNamespace getVariable ["MyMalScript", {hint "where''d it go?"}];
open fractal
#

inb4 a pub admin uses it to make a blacklist that auto kicks

drifting portal
#

instead of an sqf file

#

i don't think you can run sqf files

tranquil jasper
drifting portal
open fractal
#

getPlayerUID doesnt work on pub zeus?

drifting portal
#

use allplayers and getPlayerUID

drifting portal
tranquil jasper
#

no I mean you'll need my steam id beforehand otherwise I have to join your server before you can create an auto-kick

drifting portal
#

well thing is

open fractal
#

you can create a composition to drop on a player and append their id to the list

drifting portal
#

zeus servers restart when there is 0 players

#

so as soon as everyone leaves

#

the EH will get deleted

#

along with all code executed

open fractal
#

you've seen the admins i'm referring to

#

they wouldn't leave

drifting portal
#

lol

#

server

#

will crash

#

eventually

#

in like 4 hours

tranquil jasper
#

bohemia devs, campaignNamespace when

drifting portal
#

would just turn everyone I hate into a dog

# 
_objplayer = _this;
    private _pos=[_objplayer, 1, 50, 12, 0, 20, 0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos;  
    if (_pos isEqualTo []) exitWith {systemChat "FAILED TO START DOG"};  
    private _dog = createAgent ["Fin_random_F", _pos, [], 0, "NONE"];   
    _dog setVariable ["BIS_fnc_animalBehaviour_disable", true];    
    selectPlayer _dog;   
    private _show = "camera" camCreate [(getPos _dog) select 0, ((getPos _dog) select 1) -1, ((getPos _dog) select 2) + 1.4];  
    _show attachTo [_dog, [0.227, -0.15, 0.14], 'head', true];     
    _show switchCamera "INTERNAL";
tranquil jasper
#

lol

drifting portal
#

but selectplayer is banned in public zeus

#

so alas

#

lol

open fractal
#

i had some dude be all condescending and rude to people because they weren't up to speed on his military roleplay stuff and he was super serious

#

that very day i made a composition to make the nearest player start dancing and grooving

drifting portal
#

lol

open fractal
#

so next time someone gets too serious they bust a move

tranquil jasper
#

ok if I ever make an awesome mission and have servers for it, I'm going to put a timebomb in it. On 4/1 when you join it spams rickrolls in your browser every time you try to do anything

drifting portal
#

what will you use to open the link

tranquil jasper
#

there's a control for that

#

๐Ÿ˜›

drifting portal
open fractal
#

or you can make a popular composition and update it to spawn an scp-173 esque entity in the distance

#

actually i have said too much

tranquil jasper
#

I thought it was involuntary? idk it's been a long time since I've seen that control

drifting portal
drifting portal
tranquil jasper
#

make it randomly pop up that miller thing occasionally

hallow mortar
#

my personal favourite placeable items are a Jaw Statue that always looks at the nearest player, and a traffic cone that physics yeets anyone who comes near it. Oh, and the "do not press" button that kills you, launches you, and tells everyone you pressed it

open fractal
#

the moai head thing from tanoa

#

i made an "arsenal" that sets off a car alarm when you touch it

drifting portal
#

yeah

#

I know it

#

i think it has an easter egg in apex campaign too

#

emits a weird sound when you get close to it

drifting portal
#

I use it to horrify players

hallow mortar
#

Eh, you don't need a composition for that. Just spam spawn Proteus a few times and you'll get plenty of flying subs

tranquil jasper
#

I wonder if there's any interest in a driveable(boat...able?) Freedom

drifting portal
drifting portal
#

isn't it?

tranquil jasper
#

I don't know how easy, but certainly do-able with sqf

drifting portal
#

put an AI in a boat and attach the freedom to it, remoteControl whenever a player wants to sail the thing?

tranquil jasper
#

Oh no, that's half ass, I intend to whole ass my implementation

drifting portal
#

you will run into a problem where any object on the carrier will get yeeted

#

or blown

tranquil jasper
#

The only thing I'm unsure of is what happens if I teleport a player inside the model, I had an idea of making the inside of Freedom somewhat walkable if possible

#

and if you know the classname you can just...spawn it with createVehicle, dlc or no...I should buy jets

drifting portal
#

i think as long as you keep your stuff in a single part it will be walkable

tranquil jasper
#

I'm just not what the games current "inside a wall" physics will do. Reversed controls is really weird and usually I end up stuck way further in rocks n stuff before I remember how to get out

drifting portal
#

i tried once walking inside the freedom and it worked

#

until I hit a wall of the next part

tranquil jasper
#

Interesting, maybe weird collision areas?

#

I'm sure it would be way easier to actually add Freedom with proper configs/etc as a mod, but then you'd have to install it and that's just not what I'm about

hallow mortar
#

Freedom is cut up like that because it's larger than the largest single object the game can handle

drifting portal
#

Into like 12 parts

#

But every part is large enough anyways for a compartment

hallow mortar
#

it's pretty funny when you delete a part while someone's standing on it

drifting portal
#

Or when a jet wants to fly

#

You just delete the catapult

drowsy geyser
#

is it possible to add an action to an terrain object via it's ID?

_nObject = [0,0,0] nearestObject anyID; 
_nObject addAction ["a useless action that does nothing", {}];

unfortunately it does not add the action, any way to get it work?

tranquil jasper
hallow mortar
# 
_nObject = [0,0,0] nearestObject anyID; ```
If this is the actual code you're using, keep in mind that `nearestObject` has a hard limit of 50 metres range - range from position [0,0,0] in this case. So if you're more than 50m away from [0,0,0] it won't even find the object. And `anyID` has to actually refer to a valid ID, obviously.
#

Another workaround you can do is to hide the original object with the Hide Terrain Objects module and replace it with an Editor-placed equivalent, which you can do stuff to more easily.

drowsy geyser
tranquil jasper
#

what are these actions doing?

#

you need to simplify it somehow so theres less

#

perhaps consider "reversing" the action; add action to the player and only show it when player looks at some object

player addAction ["action", {}, nil, false, true, "", "typeOf cursorTarget == SOMECLASS"];
drowsy geyser
#

that's a very smart idea ๐Ÿ™‚

#

but some terrain object show typeOf cursorObject ""

tranquil jasper
#

Ah yeah I remember that being a problem, some terrain models don't actually have classnames. In that case you should still be able to do str cursorObject and maybe parse the text to get the p3d file

#

name

little raptor
little raptor
#

iirc its GEOM lod thonk

#

not 100% which lod cursorObject uses
or maybe FIRE

tranquil jasper
#

ah thanks nice with that command

#

True you have to be alittle more strict with wher eyou are looking, but with all the gained performance you could even use a combination of nearestObjects and getRelDir to make some kind of faux FOV or vision threshold

drowsy geyser
drowsy geyser
#

would i gain any performance if i hide or if possible delete all terrain objects outside the a mission area? the map is huge but the mission will only play on a certain area.

less rendering so maybe

modern meteor
#

Using this code now but it runs too many times it seems:

# 
  [] spawn {
    sleep 2;
    if (lifestate player == "INCAPACITATED" ) then {  
         hint "You lost 5 Campaign points!";                   
        []execVM "points.sqf";
        waitUntil { sleep 1; lifestate player == "HEALTHY" };
        sleep 20;     
    };
  };
  nil;
}];```
manic nexus
#

set this flag in global namespace and reduce points by detecting swap "HEALTHY" -> "INCAPACITATED"

#

and remove spawn and sleeps, you dont need it)

modern meteor
#

Sorry, not an expert in scripting. How would I do this pls?

manic nexus
#

remember your last state

#

then compare it to now

modern meteor
#

Not sure how to flag in global namespace?

manic nexus
#

if now - "INCAPACITATED", but last was "HEALTHY"

#

then reduce points

#

i am not sure about is HandleDamage working when you heal, if not, add HandleHeal handler to set this flag to Healthy back

Is there a command to format a number to string with leading zeros. I want to use getDir and always display all three digits but fill up with zeros if getDir < 100

still forum
little raptor
#

so no, no performance gain

#

even if you could, you still wouldn't get any performance gain

#

the game automatically streams terrain objects

High shadow distance is still not all that far. Only like 400m IIRC

drifting portal
#

Yep

#

It only helps with video settings altering mods

modern meteor

Does anyone know what is wrong with the syntax?

player addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", {
  if (_hold == "false") then
  {
  setVariable [_hold, true];
  [] spawn {
    sleep 2;
    if (lifestate player == "INCAPACITATED" ) then {  
         hint "You lost 5 Campaign points!"; 
        waitUntil{!(isNil"dmpCVP")};
        waitUntil {lifestate player == "HEALTHY" };         
        dmpCVP = dmpCVP - 5;
        sleep 5;

Trees have transparency and motion, there's usually a lot of them in one place, and they add plenty of AI complexity, so they can be a performance drain (cough Livonia cough). But removing objects will only affect performance if you do it close in. Removing objects a long way away, that are never seen or are always obstructed, won't help much because the game is already not rendering or thinking about them (occlusion culling/view distance/dynamic simulation)

drifting portal
#

So does not hurt to remove them

#

Might add 1 fps

#

Lol

little raptor
little raptor
#

you need to specify what you want to set the variable on

#

also, you should put the variable name as string
and no need to set the value to as bool (true/false)

#

save the script handle directly, and check that to prevent spawning new codes

drowsy geyser
#

is it possible to make a unit not be able to stand? i did this and he can still stand and walk,

unit setHitPointDamage ["hitLegs", 1];

how would i make him prone only?

winter rose
drowsy geyser
#

would this work on players too?

winter rose
#

nope

#

you would need some animation event handler and check the stance to force it down

drowsy geyser
#

ah okay

#

maybe disable inputaction "Stand"

ebon citrus
#

I suppose hidden objects would not be included in draw calls to the GPU, so there should be a performance difference

Can someone tell me why this code is wrong?

pulsar bluff
#

has someone created a function for measuring angular velocity

#

am in need of something like this

little raptor
#

there is no angular velocity

#

at least no command for it

pulsar bluff
#

yes no command, as i ask if anyone has created a function for it

little raptor
#

so you have to use an eachFrame loop or something... ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

little raptor
#

also it'll have a 1 frame delay

pulsar bluff
#

not worried about the loop, just the calculation

little raptor
#

calculation is not difficult, but not efficient either

#

ah welp

#

no command for matrix inverse meowsweats

pulsar bluff
#

:\

#

i am fiddling with the addTorque command but its not very useful without measuring angular velocity

little raptor
#

I suppose there's no need for matrix thonk

#

just calculate each ang velo component and sum

#

velocity of each component is, for example:

_s = acos(_vx2 vectorCos _vx1) / diag_deltaTime;
_v = _vx1 vectorCrossProduct _vx2
pulsar bluff
#

ah deltatime, i have missed this command entirel

modern meteor
#

hmm, i'm stuck

#

not sure which eventhandler to use when player becomes INCAPACITATED

#

Damage triggers too many times

little raptor
#

handleDamage is your best bet

#

or maybe hit

#

that ofc is still not ideal, because it's assumed you were incapacitated by damage
which is not always the case. it's a scripted behavior

#

e.g. you can do player setUnconscious true

little raptor
#

only the code itself was wrong

#

not the idea

modern meteor
#

i tried so many versions that i don't know anymore which one was on the right track ๐Ÿ˜‰

little raptor
# 
player addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", {
  params ["_unit"];
  private _oldHandle = _unit getVariable ["my_incap_script", scriptNull];
  if (scriptDone _oldHandle) then
  {
  private _handle = [_unit] spawn {
    params ["_unit"];
    sleep 2;
    if (lifestate _unit == "INCAPACITATED" ) then {  
         hint "You lost 5 Campaign points!"; 
        waitUntil{!(isNil"dmpCVP")};
        waitUntil {lifestate _unit == "HEALTHY" };         
        dmpCVP = dmpCVP - 5;
        sleep 5;
        hint "Test!";   
    };
  };
  _unit setVariable ["my_incap_script", _handle];
 };
  nil;
}];
#

that fixes your "too many times" problem

#

the script itself has other problems

#

but I'll let you figure it out for yourself

but a2 is much better...

pulsar bluff
#

speaking of that ... anyone noticed issues with "cursorObject"? some years ago it would have a return all the time, now it seems to behave more like "cursorTarget" where the object needs to be in player presence/reveal for some time before detection ...

little raptor
#

works fine for me

pulsar bluff
#

i spawn in an object and cursorobject == null object for a few seconds

manic nexus
#

ok, i am going to override incomingMissile event on server side to send locked vehicle to unit then

manic nexus
pulsar bluff
#

just go in editor, add the oneachframe {hintsilent str cursorobject}; and plonk down an object (in my case a helicopter) about 40m away

#

reports objnull for a little while

manic nexus
#

i will spawn some object and check it with cursor target, if target is not this object then target is locked

pulsar bluff
#

hmm, "incomingmissile" event handler is not the place to be using cursortarget

manic nexus
pulsar bluff
#

override what

ahh, in that case do as you will xD

I'm having a problem with mission directory

#

I have a folder called APS that contains a folder called Circle, the Circle folder contains a paa folder which contains the paa images,
I'm doing

hint parseText "<img image='APS\Circle\paa\1.paa'>";
#

but its not showing the image

#

why is that?

#

image size is 256x256

hallow mortar
#

You need either /> or ></img> at the end

drifting portal
#

if I place the image outside these 3 folders so that:

cursorobject setobjecttexture [0,"1.paa"];

it works for some reason

#

I hope I'm not confusing you

hallow mortar
#

Does it work with e.g. 2 levels of folders, or only when it's in the base mission folder?

#

If it's the latter, try adding a leading \ to the path

drifting portal
drifting portal
drifting portal
#

still I can't see it in hint

# 
hint parseText "<img image='APS\Circle\paa\1.paa'></img>";

doing this will say it doesn't exist

hallow mortar
#

better not do it then

drifting portal
# 
cutText ["<img image='APS\Circle\paa\1.paa'></img>", "PLAIN", -1, true, true];

shows the image

its only the damn hint that is not showing the image

hallow mortar
#

Have you tried it with other images (particularly smaller ones)?

drifting portal
#

I will see

hallow mortar
#

It might be worth trying adding a bit of dummy text in there as well. It's plausible that trying to display only an image might confuse it.

drifting portal
#

in my original example

#

I had additional text

#

but now I have redone it with more text and it works

#

I'm still confused tho

#

as to why it didn't work the first time

hmm

is it possible to put an image on top of the other using structured text?

If you own the game, you can change your Steam library settings from "games" to "tools" in the top left and Reforger Tools will be in the list. But this isn't really a #arma3_scripting question :U

Hi, what is the best way to check the value of a global variable regularly during a mission? Looking for a solution with limited performance impact.

little raptor
#

ideally you should never check variables to begin with, because all solutions need a loop

#

and loops are well known performance eaters

modern meteor
#

The variable should be checked every 2 minutes or so

#

It stores victory points. Once the variable is above a certain threshold by completing missions it should trigger the end of the mission

little raptor
#

for that a scheduled loop is more than enough

little raptor
modern meteor
#

it's changes autoomatically. triggered by a mod

#

Drongo's map population

#

The variable is the one which stores the campaign victory points

#

And it get's updated once the player finishes a task

little raptor
#

tasks don't have an event handler either... meowsweats

#

if you were changing it yourself, for example:

myPoints = myPoints - 1;

you didn't have to loop
you could make a function to handle the changes in that variable:

[-1] call my_fnc_addPoints

params ["_added"];
myPoints = myPoints + _added;
if (myPoints == 0) then { //0 points
  //...
};
modern meteor
#

I am changing the points manually when they get reduced

#

Dying reduces the points

#

So I guess your solution is a good one to end the mission if points drop to 0

little raptor
#

you can add your own system on top

modern meteor
#

I will try this

modern meteor
little raptor
#

functions library is probably the best way

#

or you can just drop something like this in init.sqf

my_fnc_addPoints = {
  params ["_added"];
  myPoints = myPoints + _added;
  if (myPoints == 0) then { //0 points
    //...
  };
};
modern meteor
#

Could I also add this to the description.ext of the mission?

little raptor
#

but that code itself no

modern meteor
#

got it. thank you Leopard

# open fractal switch statement with the strings for the images?

The variable will already be defined elsewhere. The image will be assigned to "_intel1", but I didn't know if I could put that variable in the init of the intel object in the editor because someone said that variables set outside the editor can't carry over.

    this setVariable [
        "RscAttributeDiaryRecord_texture",

        true
    ];

Like, will this work if I put it in the object init?

why do you have a local variable inside a string?

Is that a variable referenced within another string?

If I can get that to work that'd be the best case scenario as I think leaflets are more visually interesting.

But there's also some formatting stuff with them I would need to figure out. They don't want to seem to display landscape images on the physical leaflet itself, though that's a miner issue.

# deep loom Maybe? I dunno how the hold action would interact with the examine action leafle...

Come on mate, "tried asking" implies we internet strangers here are somehow responsible for getting this to work for you =].
I got a solution, using the above suggestions...
Have two objects for this. A "myLeafletDummy" object that players don't see in the level, and a "myLeaflet" that they can interact with:

How do i make addaction on cursorTarget that is "landVehicle" ?

tranquil jasper
#

That doesn't make sense, can you explain what you're trying to achieve with that?

heavy surge
#

Im trying to make unflip script and i need the addAction to activate when im looking at the vehicle

tranquil jasper
#

Is there a problem with just adding the action to the vehicle?

#

If the action needs to be added to the player then you can use isKindOf to check class inheritance for objects such as "LandVehicle"

cursorTarget isKindOf "LandVehicle"
#

I'd recommend doing this with an action added to the vehicle however, until you run into an issue with that; because that will give you an unambiguous reference to the actual vehicle vs cursorTarget

I'm having some issues trying to get a condition to work that checks if targets have been eliminated. The targets can either be individuals or groups. Whenever the condition is checked I get this Error: Error alive: Type Group, expected Object
Here is my condition: ```sqf
// Check the success limit
if ({ !alive _x } count _targets >= _limitSuccess) exitWith {
[_taskID, "SUCCEEDED"] call BFUNC(taskSetState);

// End the mission if it was enabled
if (_endSuccess) then {
[QEGVAR(end_mission,callMission), ["MissionSuccess", true, playerSide]] call CFUNC(serverEvent);
};
};

tranquil jasper
#

alive doesn't work with groups

granite sky
#

What would you actually want it to do with a group?

tranquil jasper
#

I think dead units stay part of the group for something like 20-30 seconds until the squad leader realizes they are dead, then they are removed. So I would check both count units _group == 0 and also check alive looping through any groups that do have units

#

it's not really a 1-line kinda thing...I mean it could be of course, but that'd be a line from hell

broken forge
#

So how would I create a condition for that?

copper raven
#

loop through units of groups instead of just groups

Any advice on having unit change stance?
I was searching the wiki, but the only stance-related command I could find was "stance"

tranquil jasper
#

all you need to do is playMove to the stance you want

somber radish
# 
Tally_Fnc_stanceDown = {
params ["_man"];
_man disableAI "FSM";
switch (stance _man) do
    {
        case "STAND" :    { _man setUnitPos "MIDDLE" };
        case "CROUCH":     { _man setUnitPos "DOWN"  };
        case "PRONE" :     { /*_man setUnitPos "MIDDLE"*/ hint "I need to roll"  };

drowsy geyser
#

does placing many ShowHideModules affect performance?

little raptor
#

but since modules are objects maybe that could affect the performance a bit

#

you can delete the modules after some time

#

e.g. put this in their init:

this spawn {
  sleep 1;
  deleteVehicle _this;
};
#

or alternatively, you can put them all in a specific layer and delete all objects in that layer

#

init.sqf

[] spawn {
  sleep 1;
  {
    deleteVehicle _x;
  } forEach (getMissionLayerEntities "myModulesLayer" select 0)
};
#

I'm not sure if that affects JIP. depends how the function works ๐Ÿค”

and the objects remain hidden i suppose

I've never used that module tho so I could be wrong...

You can use worldToModel to get an offset representing the door itself and check distance to it, but it'll probably have to be hardcoded per door per building

Hello, I am in need of help. I am trying to make a trigger in Eden that applies ACE damage (to the legs specifically) whenever a Player or AI walks through it, but I am rather inept when it comes to Arma's scripting and the wiki has been less than helpful to me.

livid rampart
# meager zinc Hello, I am in need of help. I am trying to make a trigger in Eden that applies ...

You can use this https://github.com/acemod/ACE3/blob/master/addons/medical/functions/fnc_addDamageToUnit.sqf to add ace medical damage to a unit. [player, 0.8, "rightleg", "bullet"] call ace_medical_fnc_addDamageToUnit this code for example adds 0.8 "bullet damage" to the right leg of the player that executes the code. Now you need to find a way for the trigger to be executed only by the player who enters it not by someone standing besides it.

#

Maybe someone ne else knows how to setup the trigger for that

meager zinc
#

Thanks, I was able to get that far at least, but the problem I am running into is that I can't get it to trigger on only the player/AI that walks into it, and whenever an AI walks into it the damage does not get applied to the AI, but only the player.

granite sky
#

well, if you have player in the call...

#

The thisList variable within trigger statements gives you all the units that matched the trigger conditions.

#

If you only wanted the damage to apply once per unit, or once each time they enter the trigger area, you'd probably want to setVariable on a unit to mark that.

meager zinc
#

Ideally i'd want to the damage to apply once the player/ai enters the trigger at first, and then trigger again if they stay inside it for x amount of seconds.

#

but for now i'm just trying to get the basic applying damage to work

granite sky
#

In that case you could store the current time value in a setVariable on the unit.

#

Or the time at which they're eligible for damage again. Doesn't change much.

livid rampart
#

But then you need a whole script that runs because a trigger only triggers once if someone enters or exits the area

meager zinc
# granite sky well, if you have `player` in the call...

For what should i swap out player if i want it to trigger when an AI walks into it (As well as when a player walks into it), because alternatives i have tried such as Units Person and Units Object make it so that it just doesn't work at all.

granite sky
#

Something like this I guess:

{
  if (_x getVariable ["lastDamageTimeout", -1] > time) then { continue };
  [_x, 0.8, "rightleg", "bullet"] call ace_medical_fnc_addDamageToUnit;
  _x setVariable ["lastDamageTimeout", time+10];
} forEach thisList;
#

Caveats:

  • Doesn't reapply damage if you stay in the trigger beyond the timeout, as Nitro Nic said.
  • That ACE function may need to be run locally to the unit.
#

I guess what you're trying to do isn't really appropriate for a trigger alone anyway, because only the first unit(s) that enter will trigger, until everyone exits.

#

What you'd need to do is use the trigger to activate and deactivate a spawned script with a loop that checks units in the radius.

meager zinc
granite sky
#

yeah well

#

the proper version is far more complex :D

meager zinc
#

or rather, i know what some of these things do, but i have no clue why thisList works, or what getVariable does here.

granite sky
#

setVariable and getVariable are used to create arbitrary variables (name + value) on objects (and some other types).

#

So here, thisList hopefully contains an array of units near the trigger, and then we can set variables on them to remember when they last took the damage.

meager zinc
#

I see, i assume that ["lastDamageTimeout", time+10]; means that the unit that triggered it won't get the damage applied when it activates the trigger again within 10 seconds?

valid abyss
granite sky
#

@meager zinc It's just creating a variable called "lastDamageTimeout" with a value of current time+10. The getVariable part above checks whether this value has been exceeded before applying damage.

meager zinc
#

I'm afraid you've lost me...

hallow mortar
#

It gets the current time, adds 10 seconds, and saves that as a variable. The next time the thing runs, it checks that variable to see whether the new current time is later than the saved time - i.e. whether 10 seconds has passed since that time was saved. If it isn't later - 10 seconds hasn't passed - it does nothing.
tl;dr: your first assessment was correct

meager zinc
#

I see, good to know I'm not a completely lost cause when it comes to scripting. ๐Ÿ˜…

#

Now onto the next part, making it trigger again when someone is already inside the trigger area...

rough dagger

I have some posters and images in my MP mission, and use 'setObjectTextureGlobal' as the command to get them into the game. Sometimes they only show when you walk close to them .. is this normal? Do I need to do anything else to prevent this from happening (i.e. always show)? Cheers

Make sure they are in .paa format (can be converted using one of the tools in the Arma 3 Tools package). .jpeg or other formats can cause odd behaviour.

@little raptor is there a way to use that switch to assign the variable in the event that two variables match? Something like this:

    case (_siteMorning = _zoneA): {_zoneAMorning};
    case (_siteMorning = _zoneB): {_zoneBMorning};
    case (_siteMorning = _zoneC): {_zoneCMorning};
};
tranquil jasper
#

should be == then it will work

#

Tried that but it freaked out and said it expected a boolean.

#

what did it say the input type was

deep loom
#

brb I'll run it again and get the exact error

    case (_zoneB): {_zoneBMorning};
    case (_zoneC): {_zoneCMorning};
};```
tranquil jasper
#

hah oops yeah that is way better

#

If _siteMorning has a chance to not equal zoneA through C then maybe add a Default{} case

titles[] = {};
};

#

and try to play "EASZombie2"
if it works, you're editing the wrong mission file/dir

tranquil jasper
#

if the first sound works then the mission config is good, but you say:
โ€ข mission has been reloaded
โ€ข sound exists in folder
1 of the above is not true

#

might have the wrong mission loaded as Lou says

coarse dragon
#

its the correct file. the working sound didnt work

winter rose
#

then you're screwed, reinstall Windows

tranquil jasper
#

I'm confused first you say the first one works then you say the working one didn't work

#

ignoring how that is already a contradiction, you contradicted again

coarse dragon
#

Because I changed the name of it as suggested by Lou to check if it was the right flie

winter rose
#

cops.ogg.wav

tranquil jasper
#

since he changed the class name, load the mission again, then you can go in the config editor and look at missionConfig to see if the classname updated, that will tell you that you are indeed editing the description.ext that you think you are

coarse dragon
#

ive only got the one description in the mission folder. so its the correct one

tranquil jasper
#

well the next step for me is going to be "post a github link" so I can go look at the mission

drowsy geyser
#

how about you show your cfgSound maybe they can notice something wrong

tranquil jasper
#

no his mission config is good because he already has 1 working sound

winter rose
coarse dragon
#

?

winter rose
#

try to change the first sound (display name, sound file, etc) to make sure you are editing the proper file

coarse dragon
#

i already did

drowsy geyser
#

how about you replace the name of that working sound file with the one that does not work inside cfgSound

#

and then try playing it

winter rose
coarse dragon
#

like ive only 1 mission folder by this name.

#

i renamed the working file and it didnt work

drowsy geyser
coarse dragon
winter rose
#

what is your code? I mean, SQF

coarse dragon
#

class CfgSounds

class Othersound
{
name = "cops";
sound[] = { "sounds\cops.ogg.", 1, 1 };
titles[] = {};
};
};

tranquil jasper
#

you have a stray . in the config

sound[] = { "sounds\cops.ogg.", 1, 1 };
                            ^

remove then use say "Othersound" and it works

coarse dragon
#

...

how odd

it still wont work

oof how do I get that??

tranquil jasper
coarse dragon
#

still not working. blobdoggoshruggoogly

tranquil jasper

i'll zip and dm you back the mission, I promise it works
use say "EASZO", say "Othersound"

i was putting in the trigger. playSound Cops ;

coarse dragon
winter rose
#

""""""cops""""""

coarse dragon
#

yes

winter rose
coarse dragon
#

i had it down like that

winter rose
#

like how

coarse dragon
#

but seeing how playSound "Othersound"; it now works fully

winter rose
#

I have no idea why you don't continue the conversation and drop to something else

coarse dragon
#

what? you asked

#

playSound "cops"; didnt work

#

no one spotted this?

winter rose
#

EVERYBODY spotted this, come on!!1!

yeah config is annoying tbh

Because no one mentioned it before

Yea I didn't know what you where on about with that. It was your 2nd post about it that made it click

#

Thanks for the help dread

tranquil jasper
#

np I always love discovering the ancient dark magicks within sqf

#

hopefully enfusion doesn't have as many secrets

coarse dragon
tranquil jasper
#

take this:
#define SOUND(NAME,PATH) class NAME { name = #NAME; sound[] = {PATH,1,1}; titles[] = {}; };
that's what I use for sounds that don't have title text, so my CfgSounds looks like this:
SOUND(helloENG, "sounds\helloENG.ogg")
SOUND(helloGER, "sounds\helloGER.ogg")
SOUND(hey, "sounds\hey.ogg")
SOUND(song1, "sounds\space_battle.ogg")
SOUND(player1, "sounds\player1.ogg")
SOUND(man1, "sounds\man1.ogg")
SOUND(man2, "sounds\man2.ogg")
SOUND(man3, "sounds\man3.ogg")
SOUND(man4, "sounds\man4.ogg")

I may have to go that route. My goal was to set up a site where four different types of casualties (slight, moderate, heavy, severe) on four different matts inside a research dome, spawned by clicking on a spot. The medic can spawn as many patients as he wishes.

Honestly, thatd be kinda overkill. The difference between a heavy wound and light wound would just be number of times you click 'Packing bandage' within a shorter timeframe :p

I wanted to display a character's face

hallow mortar
#

You might have to settle for taking pictures of all the possible faces and matching those. Make sure the pictures are appropriately small to save on file size.

#

You could also try giving the player a temporary look through a camera pointed at their face

manic sigil
#

Or, if you're sure what the character is question is going to look like, make an image of their face and present that as a straight up .jpg

Any math guys in here able to tell me why when I added velocity to this script it went from working, but bland, to working and crazy?

                _speed = 0.8 * (speed ATDV);
                _vel = velocity ATDV;
                _dir = direction ATDV;
            [_x] ordergetin false;
            [_x] allowGetIn false;
            unassignvehicle _x;
            moveout _x;
            sleep 0.1;
            _chute = CreateVehicle ["B_Parachute_02_F", (getPos _x), [], 0, "NONE"];
            _chute setVelocity [
                (_vel select 0) + (sin _dir * _speed),
                (_vel select 1) + (cos _dir * _speed),
                (_vel select 2)
            ];
            _x attachTo [_chute, [0, 0, 1.2]];
            _x switchMove "para_pilot";

Can anyone tell me how i can change the Animation for a Character?

shadow sapphire

playMove or switchMove depending on context, and you have to figure out which it is via trial and error.

shut carbon

switchMove "" does the trick usually.

granite sky
#

@shadow sapphire Not sure why you're adding the velocity to the speed there. What did you actually want on top of _chute setVelocity _vel?

hallow mortar
ripe kite
shadow sapphire
granite sky
#

Yeah but why do you want to add speed here at all?

#

Shouldn't the chute have the same velocity (or maybe a bit less) than the launch vehicle?

kindred zephyr
#

is

addMissionEventHandler

requiring a handler to work?
Should it be added to server/host since its only local?

Or can it be added independently to each client in order to do something different for each player according to the event added?

Kind of a dumb question, IK, just wondering why im getting an error when the code inside the handler has been confirmed to work several times.

shadow sapphire
granite sky
#

but that's just _chute setVelocity _vel here, right?

shadow sapphire
hallow mortar
kindred zephyr
# hallow mortar > requiring a handler to work? Well...you have to choose what kind of mission EH... 
addMissionEventHandler ["entityKilled",
{
do something;
}];

I would believe, that, for example in the case of entityKilled it would be better to add it to the server and the remoteExec everything from there into players. Asking since Im gonna have a handler check all the entities in the mission in order to handle score myself.

And of course, if I can unload this kind of constant check to server it would be even better :p.

The question about the handler arises since IDK how are mission event handlers supposed to be added, since normal event handlers actually ask for an object to be added to.

hallow mortar
#

mission event handlers are added to the mission itself, not to a specific object. That's the key difference between mission EH and normal EH.

#

As for why you're getting an error, it would help to know what the error is and what the code is.

kindred zephyr
kindred zephyr
hallow mortar
#

You can add them wherever. If you add them in an init file, they will be added during the briefing phase (assuming no sleeps beforehand); if you add them in a script they will be added whenever that script is executed. A mission EH is attached to the whole mission, not a specific object (e.g. entityKilled detecting when any entity in the mission is killed, unlike the killed EH which detects the object it's added to), and it is added only on the machine(s) executing the script that adds it. If you want to only add it on the server, use initServer.sqf. If you want to add it to all clients *and the server, use init.sqf.

kindred zephyr
#

ah, perfect

#

thanks for the info

granite sky
#

Some mission EHs are only triggered on the server (eg HandleDisconnect), some are triggered on local actions (eg MapSingleClick) while others are triggered on global events (eg entityKilled). It's not always well documented.

shadow sapphire
#

How would I insert _x switchMove "HubWoundedProne_idle1"; into my static line script:

Null = [] spawn {{
        if (((assignedVehicleRole _x) select 0) =="Cargo") then {
            [_x] ordergetin false;
            [_x] allowGetIn false;
            unassignvehicle _x;
            moveout _x;
            sleep 0.3;
            _chute = CreateVehicle ["B_Parachute_02_F", (getPos _x), [], 0, "NONE"];
            _chute setDir (180 + (getDir ATDV));
            _chute setVelocity [0.3 * (speed ATDV), 0, -8];
            _x attachTo [_chute, [0, 0, 1]];
            _x switchMove "para_pilot";
        };
    } forEach (crew ATDV); 
};```

To switch to that animation when the `_chute` hits the ground without interrupting the rest of the jumps?

Bonus, anyone know how to get the speed transition from the chute creation to velocity setting to the opening to be more gradual? It's like Arma is just slamming it from one velocity to the next.

drifting portal
#

if the first parameter is an object

will it just set the speed mode of the object's group

or for the object itself?

If unit is passed as param, unit's group is used.

If I'm on a dedicated server, what is the easiest way to see which machine owns a named group? I have debug console enabled.

hallow mortar
#

server exec groupOwner yourGroupNameHere

shadow sapphire
#

Where do I see its output?

hallow mortar
#

It should appear in the one-line field directly below the debug console exec buttons. It will be a number. Make sure you clicked server exec, not global or local.

shadow sapphire
crude vigil
#

u need to local exec to see that yourself.

hallow mortar
#

You can't local exec it because it's a server exec command

crude vigil
#

thought only the setter is, whoops.

hallow mortar
#

In that case, [format ["%1",str groupOwner yourGroupNameHere]] remoteExec ["systemChat"];

#

(server exec)

shadow sapphire
#

Hmm... It wasn't popping up, but I did get empty quotes "" in the green... feedback(?) bar.

hallow mortar
#

I presume you are replacing yourGroupNameHere with the actual name of the group

shadow sapphire
#

[Format ["%1", str groupOwner BA11]] remoteExec ["HintSilent"];

I tried it like this, too, thinking maybe something was hiding the systemChat.

I have replaced it, yes.

hallow mortar
#

And the group currently exists (i.e. hasn't been deleted because all the units died, has been created yet)?

#

And BA11 is the variable name of the group, not its groupID (callsign)?

shadow sapphire
#

It does exist and it's variable name is BA11. It was spawned (maybe) by a headless client. That's what I'm trying to check.

crude vigil
#

publicVariable it then try it

shadow sapphire
#

I'm not sure I understand how to publicVariable the group.

hallow mortar
#

When you create it, you do something like BA11 = createGroup ..., right?

#

Immediately afterwards, publicVariable "BA11"

shadow sapphire
#

Ah, gotcha.

hallow mortar
#

Otherwise that variable only exists on the machine that created it, so other machines have no idea what you're talking about when you give them a reference to it

shadow sapphire
#

Ugh! Okay, can do. This would be easier if I could get the HCs on my wife's PC to join her server.

#

Would it be easier to check the owner of an object in the group? Group leader? Assigned vehicle?

hallow mortar
#

Not particularly. You'd still need to get a reference to the group, a reference the server can understand, in order to determine who is the leader or assigned vehicle.

shadow sapphire
#

Hmm.... Well, the fact that it's not correctly adding the groups to high command anymore may be telling me what I need to know about the situation.

When I ordered the AI to move using
domove it seems to be stuck trying to rotate the steering wheel, (the 3d icon in the video is the spot where the AI is supposed to drive to)
Is there any way to fix this?

#

This only occurs sometimes not always for some reason too

granite sky
#

It's very buggy. Sometimes you can move the vehicle slightly and then that kicks the driving AI into doing something.

#

Nothing special about doMove as far as I can tell, waypoints have the same problems.

drifting portal
#

is there a goto in sqf?

#

so I can restart the spawning of the vehicle in case its position doesn't change for 4 seconds?

granite sky
#

There's breakTo

drifting portal
#

if I place a scopename behind the createvehicle and all that

#

then breakeTO when this happens

#

it will recreate a vehicle correct?

granite sky
#

It won't undo what's already happened.

#

It's just program flow.

drifting portal
#

not fix the bug

granite sky
#

In that case you'd need to delete the vehicle etc.

drifting portal
#

yeah of course

tranquil jasper
#

i'd just have 1 script that loops over all vehicles and checks their position

drifting portal
#

my problem with breakTo

#

is I'm spawning a civilian vehicle per player

#

so using foreach

#

wouldn't breakTo basically get out of the foreach entirely ?thonk
or would it not if I put the scopename inside its code?

drifting portal
granite sky
#

well, if you told him to move somewhere on land in a submarine...

drifting portal
#

I guess I will have to just delete the vehicle then as breakTo doesn't serve me well

tranquil jasper
#

may I offer an alternative, moveOut moveInDriver

#

i've found when my ai squad gets stuck driving, having them dismount and remount usually fixes it

offer as much alternatives as you can

Yea I'm using hashValue _name to make a unique marker name and I'm sure they do exist, seems like they are skipping the _marker setAlpha 1 line completely but then again, if I don't add the latter I still get the same results.

is there a way to explicitly set the channel via script?

`createMarker [name, position, channel, creator]`

that sounds about right because different channels show up transparent as such ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

open chat and use the up/down keys to set the channel

you can save the progress in the progress code:

params ["_target", "_caller", "_actionId", "_arguments", "_progress", "_maxProgress"];
_this#0 setVariable ["my_actionProgress" + str (_this#2), _progress];
#

and get it in the abort code:

FunctionVariable = { sleep 20; systemchat "20 seconds"; };
{ call FunctionVariable; } foreach allplayers;

if there were 3 players, would this display the "20 seconds" to the one who executed it locally 3 times after 20 seconds? or will it display each one after 20 seconds from the last?

The latter, because it's a call.

Is there anything like a soft terrain or mod script or mod that actively effects vehicles like war thunder?

It seems like they don't like their first vehicle for some reason lol

is there a way to arm mines that i've placed in Eden or do i just need to use a minfield module and hope it places them right?

i'm trying to require cba as an addon in my CfgPathes file and in the menu i just get a black bar.

class CfgPatches
{
    class DarkbelgSpeedControl
    {
        name = "Darkbelgs speed control";
        author = "Darkbelg";

        requiredVersion = 2.06;
        requiredAddons[] = {"cba_common", "cba_events","cba_settings"};
        units[] = {};
        weapons[] = {};
    };
};

What could be wrong with this code ?

I want to have asymetric respawn settings (west can respawn by tickets and wave, guer don't get to respawn.) My description.ext currently looks like this with regards to respawns

respawnDelay                 =     120; //Default respawn delay
respawnTemplatesWest[]             =     {"Base", "Tickets", "Wave", "Spectator"};
respawnTemplatesGuer[]        =    {"Spectator"};```
I've even tried ensuring that `guer` doesn't have tickets in different ways. Either by script, Module, or multiplayer settings via the editor. I feel like I'm just mission a small detail or overlooking something. Is there any other ways of getting the desired effect above?

yay?

ok.. dont do this while drinking.. spotted the issue

giving both of them the same name is probably not a great idea

coarse dragon

?

The ```sqf part needs to be on its own line with nothing else afterwards. This will fix the syntax highlighting on Discord.

If I have a headless client spawn AI groups, why don't they seem to belong to that HC by default?

If (!isNil "HC1") then {RemoteExec ["ASG_FNC_LCEBA", HC1];} else {[] Spawn ASG_FNC_LCEBA;};```

How would I build around this with something like maybe a setGroupOwner command that the HC can use to make the server give the units back?
little raptor
shadow sapphire
#

I'm sure HC1 is not nil. I know the transfer is being made.

I check owner with this line:

[Format ["BA11 is on machine %1.", groupOwner BA11]] remoteExec ["HintSilent", 0];```
From within the script that spawns the groups.

There always remains the chance I missed something in the chain. I'll build in some extra hints for myself.
#

Why is it telling me they are owned by "scalar"?

little raptor
#

you're executing it locally

tho some delay might be needed

shadow sapphire
# little raptor no, you can just broadcast the arg together with the remoteExec

Hmm... how? I am not a coder, so much of this is straight up over my head and all help is appreciated.

Yeah, I noticed that delay helped earlier, it was taking some time to transfer the groups when I was using a different technique.

I was spawning the elements on the server and then using setGroupOwner and checking their ownership, and it took a while for it to update that way.

Now I've gone from that back to my original method of just using my if/then catches to have the HCs spawn the units. I think it's working correctly, but I think that the same reason I can't check their ownership with that technique is the reason they aren't being added to my high command groups.

little raptor
#

I'm executing groupOwner on the server.
you just said
From within the script that spawns the groups.

#

that wasn't the server

shadow sapphire
# little raptor > I'm executing groupOwner on the server. you just said > From within the scrip...

Sorry, that was because I was using two different techniques to understand what was happening with the script. When I was spawning the units on the server, and then using setGroupOwner, the script would tell me the owner at the end, but it was telling me the server was the owner for several seconds before I manually executed it again to get an updated report.

Now I am just using the debug console to check.

little raptor
#

well in that case yeah

#

BA11 was not defined on the server

shadow sapphire
#

This makes sense to me, but I'm unsure how to fix that, or if it even needs to be fixed or if I should approach this in a different way. The group being created needs to be added to high command, and it must be JIP compatible and repeatable.

little raptor
#

I mean to use the groupOwner command on the server
