thank you

proven charm
#

doMove is so inaccurate...

#

trying to place guy at window, really hard

winter rose
#

move and doMove are not meant for that

little raptor
#

the problem is building paths

#

AI in Arma can only move along fixed paths in buildings

#

you can't make them go wherever you want

#

in fact that's why they move so slowly

#

if they move fast and miss a turn they're screwed (+ the fact that they pass thru the building) ๐Ÿคฃ

proven charm
#

@little raptor makes sense

#

I'm probably going to make a script that slides them in to place ๐Ÿ˜

#

after moving that is

brazen lagoon
#

if you have 2 objects is it possible to draw a raycast down from the object to figure out how to place it so that the two are flush (i.e. draw a line down from one object until it touches the second, and then move the first object down by that distance)?

little raptor
#

yes

brazen lagoon
#

do i just have to brute force it with lineIntersectsObject or whatever the function is

little raptor
#

that's one way

#

the other way is using getPos

#

if the object has roadway LOD

brazen lagoon
#

hmm. well i was thinking more like

little raptor
#

this

brazen lagoon
#

objects like a house where the boundingBox isn't really super accurate

little raptor
#

bounding box? what does placement have to do with bounding box?

brazen lagoon
#

no no this isn't placing items inside a building

#

I'm trying to place a flag on top of a building

little raptor
#

what's the difference?

#

you're still placing something on a building

brazen lagoon
#

so right now I'm getting building height with boundingBoxReal and placing the item on top of the building

#

but this is obv buggy because sometimes 0,0,height (relative to the building) is not actually on top of the building

#

(buildings will commonly not have anything at 0,0,height so it looks like the flag is floating)

little raptor
#

I know

#

both of those approaches in that discussion will work for you

brazen lagoon
#

so what i want to do is draw a line down from the flag and see how far i have to go down to intersect the actual house geometry

#

ok

#

will take a look and see then

#

what exactly is this doing?

little raptor
brazen lagoon
#

the first line makes sense. the second I'm confused by

little raptor
#

I use param in case the intersections are empty

#

in which case it throws _pos back at you

brazen lagoon
#

ahh ok ok.

little raptor
#

you could just use if

brazen lagoon
#

but doesn't this draw a ray up?

little raptor
#

I prefer param

little raptor
brazen lagoon
#

oh i see. you're drawing a line from 1m above and below the pod

#

pos

little raptor
#

you might want to pass the first obj (pole) as the ignoreObj1

brazen lagoon
#

right

#

OH

#

lineIntersects returns a bool. but lineIntersectsSurfaces returns positions

#

i see so this is (relatively) easy

little raptor
#

yes

brazen lagoon
#

ok ok cool thanks

little raptor
#

for your flag

#

that script was designed for building positions, so I only lowered the _pos by 1 meter

brazen lagoon
#

right

Hello, has anyone used OCAP Replay? Need help.

vague geode
#

Does anyone know how the Detected by-triggers work (as in what values exactly do they check etc.)?

I am asking because I have noticed that they don't seem to trigger when the reveal-command is used to reveal a unit and furthermore I'd like to know how much I can reduce the trigger interval before it starts adversely affecting the functionality of the trigger since for the purpose I use them for they don't need to trigger .5 seconds after a unit is detected, 10 seconds or so would be more than sufficient.

how can I disable a specific firemode on a gun? in my mission, I have a Type 115, but there are no .50 cal mags available for it. I want to disable switching to that firemode for convenience. Can I just disable it, or is there a way to make it so it automatically switches to the next firemode whenever someone switches to it?

Hello everyone, there is a mod that has this structure - (@MyAddon\Addons\myaddon.pbo myaddon.pbo.myaddon.bisign). There is also a dedicated server with myaddon.bikey in the Keys folder.

Problem - when connecting to the server, an error appears - "......\@MyAddon\Addons\myaddon.pbo" are not signed by a key accepted by this server Everything seems to be correct, the public key is on the server, but an error still appears. Please tell me what could be the problem?

I made a custom composition in the editor and set the init to different ambient animation scripts, but when I add the composition on a public Zeus lobby, none of the animations load. What am I doing wrong?

An example of the scripts in question:

if (isServer) then { [[this,"STAND_U2", "ASIS"],BIS_fnc_ambientAnim ] remoteExec ["call"] };

warm vapor
#

Is there a way to define a function within a game logic and then access that function in other parts of the map?

To explain: I currently have a set of spawn scripts for helipads that create a set of vehicles, and allow vehicles at the pads to be rearmed, repaired, and refueled. These scripts all invoke a series of fairly similar functions - addAction to run spawn_vehicle.sqf with parameters for the vehicle and the spawn pad object name, repeated for each type of vehicle that pad is responsible for. The problem is that it makes the scripts non-portable. Every time I make a new mission, I have to copy the scripts into the new mission directory.

Ideally, I want to be able to embed this script in a game logic so that I can just run that one script from the spawn pad, and it will add all the actions for that pad. Like

"initializeCASPad" would set up the spawner with the AH-6, Apache, etc
"initializeTransportPad" would set up the spawner with the MH-6, MH-60, etc

#

Then I could just have a composition that has the logic in it, and I'm good to go

#

(The reason I don't just embed the script in the object directly is because if I decide to change the spawn script, I don't want to have to modify each individual spawner)

open fractal
open fractal
warm vapor
#

That would have the same problem though - I'd need to hand copy the description.ext into every new mission file, and every time I rename a mission file

open fractal
#

and?

#

just make a template if you're reusing these scripts

warm vapor
#

I do reuse the script, but in a perfect world I'd like to be able to make them portable. To make a composition I can just drop in a map and go

"Here's my working spawn pad"

open fractal
#

you can define a function in a global variable and call it elsewhere

#

the issue is that object inits are called in the order that they are placed, so it would be good practice to add a check to make sure the function is defined before it is called

# 
[this,"CASPad"] spawn {
  waitUntil {!isNil "your_function"};
  _this call your_function;
};

something like this?

# 
your_function = {
  params ["_pad","_type"];
  if (_type = "CASPad") exitWith {//code};
};
```etc
hallow mortar
# vital bough I made a custom composition in the editor and set the init to different ambient ...

Scripts for use in Zeus and scripts for use in the Editor work in slightly different ways.
When a composition is placed in the Editor (i.e. exists naturally in the mission) the init is executed on all machines, and that isServer check is used to make sure things don't get duplicated by only running the script on the server.
However, when a composition is placed in Zeus, the init is executed only on the machine that placed it (i.e. the Zeus' machine). This being the case, the isServer check prevents the script from running because it is only being evaluated on a machine that is not the server.

warm vapor
#

Interesting, I didn't realize you could do that

Yes, remove the if (isServer) then { from the start, and the last }; from the end.

After vehicle creation

#

diag_log weapons _jet; and then see what weapons there are in RPT

#

Then remove them with _jet removeWeapon "whatever";

#

There is probably a BIS_fnc_ command to do something like that, but I have no idea

manic sigil
#

Would the curatorObjectPlaced event handler work fast enough, that you can drop an airplane spawn token anywhere on the map and have the created vehicle sent to a specific location, altitude, and added speed so it can more naturally 'fly in'? ๐Ÿค”

Hi ! I created a menu which allows players to rearm, refuel, open a virtual arsenal, etc, the problem is that it is displayed 15 times: https://www.noelshack.com/2022-26-2-1656424946-menuopen.jpg

I identified the problem: I placed 15 bots on the map and they all have the script in "Init". http://www.noelshack.com/2022-26-4-1656587764-virtual-arsenal.jpg

However, I don't know how to fix it

Anybody noticed issues with buildings randomly appearing invisible on their servers on JIP?

#

Been happening for quite a while, looking for bits of info why this might happen and if something scripted triggers it, or if its just an engine bug

#

I don't have anything special apart from few hideObjectGlobal used on list of map objects (far from this one)

  1. terrain objs are local
#
  1. when the client joins, the terrain object may not have been streamed in yet
#

maybe try building a list of object IDs and share it with the clients instead meowsweats

#

Isn't this what 3DEN terrain hider does?

#

Not 3DEN, meant BIS_fnc_moduleHideTerrainObjects that ModuleHideTerrainObjects_F uses

little raptor
#

not sure

meager granite
#

Just checked, there is an option for local delete which remoteExecCalls itself, including for JIP

#

I'm not sure about hideObjectGlobal correlation, just guessed that it may be involved

little raptor
#

I'm not sure tho

#

maybe Dedmen can say what's wrong

Well its not supposed to hide any of the houses in the city, all these are untouched without anything special

open fractal

granite sky
#

@meager granite We had a lot of hard-to-replicate trouble in Antistasi with the destroyed buildings saving code. Haven't had any since replacing JIP with a system where a connecting client specifically requests the list of destroyed buildings to hide locally.

meager granite
#

Fully scripted ruins?

granite sky
#

Well, destroyed buildings are recorded on the server with a BuildingChanged EH.

#

And then client init does this:

    "destroyedBuildings" addPublicVariableEventHandler {
        { hideObject _x } forEach (_this select 1);
    };
    // need to wait until server has loaded the save
    [] spawn {
        waitUntil {(!isNil "serverInitDone")};
        [clientOwner, "destroyedBuildings"] remoteExecCall ["publicVariableClient", 2];
    };
#

Written out of desperation though. Couldn't replicate anything.

im unfamiliar with how "create unit" works entirely, its one of the few things remaining in my gap between zeusing and missionmaking via scripting.
ive read the wiki entry on it. but i was wondering if it would be possible to "lay out" a group of units that id want to spawn, fetch their group and essentially create a replica of the group at x location rather than creating the group and its units via classnames etc.
as i see on the wiki its via string, but does it accept an array or a way of feeding an array of strings into it.
a poorly written version of what id like to achieve with no sqf involved:

fetch x group/units - turn into array
spawn array of units in a group

if its not possible, ill just go through the manual way of typing it all out and bind them to an sqf and just call that while feeding the location of its spawn into the sqf

opal zephyr
#

Its possible, give me a moment to type it out since im on mobile and Ill need to reference the wiki

opal zephyr
#

@tight cloak
This should work for you, there are more efficient ways of doing it that others here can show you, but its all I can do atm. Idk how you want to go about getting the group that you placed down, but you will put that group in "GROUP", and in the second half you can put whatever you want for the position. You'll need to put the second half that actually spawns the group in some kind of event

//this gets your group
_units = units GROUP;
_group =[];
{_group pushback (typeOf _ร—)} forEach _units;

//this duplicates your group
_groupCopy = [];
{_groupCopy pushBack (createVehicle [_x, POSITION, [], 0]) } forEach _group;
[_groupCopy] join group (_groupCopy select 0);

#

Sure, ill be boarding a plane very soon so don't worry im not ghosting you if I dont answer

little raptor
little raptor
#

You don't even need to make 1 array

#

It just needs a loop

#

Also what you posted puts all units at the same position

#

You should get the position of each unit relative to their leader, then apply the offset at the new position

#

And last but not least your join command syntax is wrong

#

Your left arg is an array of array of objects

#

Should be array of objects

opal zephyr
#

I've never had to create units before, forgot about createUnit. The 2 arrays is just due to my current skill level of sqf, along with the fact that if you dont have atleast one array then you cant save the group you want to copy, on the off chance that original group is killed or deleted than you could no longer place copies. The position thing I left to them to figure out based on wherever they needed to place it, they wouldnt spawn inside eachother though because that condition wasnt toggled. And whoops with the array, missed that one

#

Thankyou for the feedback though, hopefully Bassbeard got it figured out hours ago

Might need to use the long-form version of createVehicle with CAN_COLLIDE for exact positioning, although I suspect it doesn't make any practical difference here.

You should move them using setVelocityTransformation then

Ello people, so I have this problem, I want a type of object (in this case a Key) that you can pick up, and once you've picked it up you have access to a door. This doesnt seem to work for me as I have searched around the whole internet, i have tested many things but nothing seems to work. Any help please?

exotic flax
#

The easiest would be a script which locks the door, and if you want to open it checks if the player has the key in his inventory.

That said, there are many solutions already created for this by the Life communities, so with some Google skills you should be able to find a fully working script.

so, a while back. i asked for help with a "man flak" script. a simple get current zeroing and spawn explosion when projectile reaches it. works perfectly. but now i need a similar thing however for turrets. and on turrets with no "zeroing"

this addEventHandler ["FiredMan", {
        params [  
        "_unit",   
        "_weapon",   
        "_muzzle",

params ["_unit", "_projectile"];
  waitUntil {(getPosASL _unit vectorDistance getPosASL _projectile) >= currentZeroing _unit};
  "HelicopterExploBig" createVehicle (position _projectile) 
 };
}];

is it possible to modify this so it triggers instead when the projectile is near any vehicles? trying to turn a turret into a flak gun essentially

"HandleDamage" is persistent. If you add it to the player object, it will continue to exist after player respawned.
what does this actually mean? does this mean that if I'm adding HandleDamage to a player, I should do it in InitPlayerLocal?

tight cloak
#

its just as it says, if you put it on them it wont vanish upon respawn, it sticks. no matter how you assign it to the unit unless the unit is deleted / leaves then that player has the handledamage attached.
unit gets handledamage
unit dies and respawns
handledamage is still attached to the player

brazen lagoon
#

ok so do it in initPlayerLocal then

#

ill test and see if that works

tight cloak
#

i mean thats one way of doing it sure

brazen lagoon
#

yeah, that's kinda just what I mean is that I don't want to do it over and over

# 
            _handlerDamage = (_this select 0) addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", rev_handleDamage];
            _handlerKilled = (_this select 0) addEventHandler ["Killed", rev_handleKilled];
            (_this select 0) setCaptive false;
        }]] remoteExec ["addEventHandler", _unit, true];        
``` :clueless:
#

why would you do this if HandleDamage is persistent

tight cloak
#

initplayerlocal will put it on all players that join the server, also iirc you should technically avoid it? not too sure. id defer to a veteran or BI

brazen lagoon
#

yes I want all players to have this EH

tight cloak
# 
Executed only on server when a player joins mission (includes both mission start and JIP). See Initialization Order for details about when exactly the script is executed.
This script relies on BIS_fnc_execVM and remoteExec. If CfgRemoteExec's class Functions is set to mode = 0 or 1, the script will never be executed. Therefore, initPlayerServer.sqf should be avoided. Use this method instead.

from the https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Event_Scripts#initPlayerLocal.sqf

aslong as the unit upon respawn doesnt become a new unit, you should be fine

  _unit = _newGrp createUnit [typeOf _x, _pos vectorAdd _offset, [], 0, "NONE"];
} forEach units _group
little raptor
#

I don't understand what you mean

#

a player is also a unit (object)

tight cloak
#

im not too sure either, i think its going off "if a unit respawns as a new unit it breaks" like the variable stays on the corpse or something, id have to test the interaction to see what it means. although the situation may be different as the thread was referring to the variable name of the unit being lost upon death

little raptor
#

then what you meant was doing unitVar getVariable ...

#

but either way the var should remain

tight cloak
#

hmm

little raptor
#

but if you set the var on the corpse and try to get it on the new unit then ofc it won't work

tight cloak
#

i wish id never read this thread. all its done is confuse me

#

that might be what they have done then

little raptor
#

because of using position

#

but as for your own question, it is possible, but there's no pretty way to do it

#

however way you go about it it's slow

#

because you have to search for nearby vehicles

tight cloak
#

would narrowing down the search speed it up?

#

such as only a specific sides vehicles

little raptor
#

not really

I mean it's not too slow

#

but not good either

#

it'll be even worse if you do it like that script

#

the problem with that script is it's spawning a new code every time you fire

#

so if you fire a few dozen rounds you end up with so many scripts just clogging the scheduler

#

and robbing other scripts of their precious execution time

#

but then again if you try to do it unscheduled it'll ruin the FPS when there are too many rounds in the air constantly checking for nearby vehicles

tight cloak
#

is it not possible then without trashing the schedule?

little raptor
#

you can only spawn 1 code

tight cloak
#

so i have to find a way of doing it within one line

little raptor
#

it's not about the number of lines

#

it's about the number of spawns

tight cloak
#

would it being precompiled work?

little raptor
#

...no meowsweats

#

you're spawning a new code with every bullet

#

the problem is the algorithm

tight cloak
#

okay, sorry if im being slow, still not used to anything further than skin deep sqf

little raptor
#

well it's simple. just spawn 1 code, and process all projectiles in that code

# 
projectiles = [];

fnc_loopProjectiles = {
  while {count projectiles > 0} do {
    {
      _x params ["_unit", "_projectile"];
      if ((getPosASL _unit vectorDistance getPosASL _projectile) >= currentZeroing _unit) then {
        isNil {("HelicopterExploBig" createVehicle [0,0,0]) setPosASL getPosASL _projectile};
        projectiles = projectiles - [_x];
      };
    } forEach projectiles;
    sleep 0.01;
  };
};

_blbla addEventHandler ["FiredMan", {
  ...
  _script = missionNamespace getVariable ["projectileScripts", scriptNull];
  projectiles pushBack [_unit, _projectile];
  if (scriptDone _script) then {
    projectileScripts = [] spawn fnc_loopProjectiles;
  };
}];
#

that was for your old script

#

for the new one you can use the nearEntities command and count the number of nearby vehicles

tight cloak
#

so change _blbla to whatever unit or array of units and slap the top section into a fnc, then modify the function to spawn the explosion when its near a vehicle?

little raptor
#

also I just typed that in Discord so there might be some errors I overlooked

tight cloak
little raptor
#

in other words, let's say that projectiles is indeed empty.

#

and the while loop terminates, but for some reason the script is not marked as terminated until the next frame

#

if that EH fires at that time, no new spawn will be created

#

I'm not 100% sure about this tho.

tight cloak
little raptor
#

occasional missed round

#

but I'm not sure if it can happen. maybe I should ask Dedmen meowsweats

tight cloak
little raptor
#

ok. but still I'd say the chance of that happening is less that 0.1%

tight cloak
#

okay

Question, this code
moduleName_keyDownEHId = (findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", "if ((_this select 1) == 57) then {_nul = [] execVM 'jump.sqf'};"]
It will execute jump.sqf when spacebar is pressed
which part of that code specifies "spacebar"?

Also is there a way to make jump.sqf to be executed server side?

warm hedge

remoteExec

Thanks all of you

the one for zeus is something else

I don't remember what it was

crude vigil

If my memory serves right, it is 312

cobalt path
#

oh okay thanks

#

btw is remoteexec suppose to look smth like this?
moduleName_keyDownEHId = (findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", "if ((_this select 1) == 71) then {_nul = [] remoteexec ['radioprofile1.sqf',0]};"]

granite sky
#

You can drop the _nul =

cobalt path
#

moduleName_keyDownEHId = (findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", "if ((_this select 1) == 71) then [] remoteexec ['radioprofile1.sqf',0];"] Like this?

granite sky
#

No, you still need the brackets.

#

If you wanted to reduce the brackets then the ones around _this select 1 can go.

#

oh, might not work anyway. Not sure if remoteExec can take a filename as a target.

cobalt path
#

I am sorry I might be dumb, but moduleName_keyDownEHId = (findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", "if ((_this select 1) == 71) then {[] remoteexec ['radioprofile1.sqf',0]};"] doesnt seem to work

granite sky
#

Yeah probably the filename problem.

limpid charm
#

Hi is it possible to change specific difficulty setting on the server without restart? Lets say that i have running server with veteran preset and i want change friendlyTags to 1

granite sky
#

@limpid charm No.

limpid charm
#

are settings store somewhere as final?

limpid charm
cobalt path
#

@granite sky I doubt its file name problem because when I use this

 
moduleName_keyDownEHId = (findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", "if ((_this select 1) == 72) then {_nul = [] execVM 'radioprofile2.sqf'};"];```
it works perfectly, I am just sure that this only executes code locally meaning other players wont see it
granite sky
#

execVM works with filenames. remoteExec probably doesn't. Has to already be a function or command.

#

You could prebuild the function with something like this, or use CfgFunctions:
TAG_fnc_radioprofile1 = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "radioprofile1.sqf";

#

@limpid charm Difficulty presets are config, which is locked at startup.

#

Best you could do is flip between custom and veteran between missions.

limpid charm
#

ok, thanks

granite sky
#

@cobalt path You could also do [[], "radioprofile1.sqf"] remoteExec ["execVM", 0], but you probably shouldn't.

that does doesnt work

you had an invalid character in there

that one should work

moduleName_keyDownEHId = (findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", {if ((_this select 1) == 72) then {["radioprofile2.sqf"] remoteExec ["execVM", 0]๏ปฟ;}}];

I assume the bottom 2 lines also have invalid character

btw how do I find display? 46 is regular player

312 is suppose to be zeus cam, but it works only half the time
it's not the cam. it's the Zeus interface

#

and you can only add the EHs when the display exists

little raptor
cobalt path
#

Oh, why does it work tho

#

Well I am executing the code in zeus, so I assume zeus interface exists at the time of execution

little raptor

also you might want to make sure you don't duplicate EHs meowsweats

which you are now

oh

#

I might be

#

that being said, why didnt it work the first time, I did execute it in execute module in zeus enhanced

okay so 312 works if you execute it twice...

modern meteor
#

Is there a way to count the number of enemy units which a player and the AI in his squad killed during a mission?

little raptor
#

by adding killed EH to all enemies and recording the kills yourself

modern meteor
#

Right, if I use modules to spawn in enemies then there is probably no easy way to assign an EH to those enemies, right?

little raptor
#

if not, you can loop over all enemy units occasionally, and if you haven't assigned a new EH to one yet, add the EH

modern meteor
#

I use CBA

#

Did not know they use any EHs

#

IS there any documentation how to use it?

little raptor
modern meteor
#

Thanks a lot Leopard.

#

I am trying to build an EH which just adds 1 point to an existing variable if an OPFOR unit is killed.

#

OPFOR is spawned in dynamically during mission

#

Is there a _classname which covers all OPFOR units spawned at the beginning and during missioon?

little raptor
#

you have to add the EH for all soldiers

#

then check their sides

#

the base class for soldiers is CAManBase

modern meteor
# 
["CAManBase", "killed", {execVM "scripts\unitkilled.sqf"}] call CBA_fnc_addClassEventHandler;```
#

would something like this work?

brazen lagoon
# 
[ 
    [ 
        ["Mission Accomplished!", "align = 'center' shadow = '1' size = '1' font='PuristaBold'"], 
        ["","<br/>"], // line break 
        ["Defense and escape successful...","align = 'center' shadow = '1' size = '2'"] 
    ],  safeZoneX, safeZoneH / 2
] remoteExec ["BIS_fnc_typeText2", allPlayers];
``` is there a way to do this so that safeZoneX and safeZoneH execute on the players?
#

or do I have to do something nasty involving setting those variables locally on the player and then reading that or something

modern meteor
brazen lagoon
#

oh I guess I could just do this by wrapping w/ spawn.

#

nvm, figured it out :}

little raptor
little raptor
brazen lagoon
#

yeah that's essentially the same thing

modern meteor
little raptor
#

what? I mean don't use execVM at all

modern meteor
#

yea, but how do i check for side and add a value to the variable if i don't call another script?

little raptor
#

there are other ways to execute a script

#

execVM is the worst way

#

plus what you write in {} is already a "script"

modern meteor
#

["CAManBase", "killed", {dmpCVP = dmpCVP + 1}] call CBA_fnc_addClassEventHandler;

little raptor
#

where's the side check?

modern meteor
#

yea, don't have that yet

little raptor
#

and where's the check if player or his group killed it?

modern meteor
#

first wanted to understand if the above would work before extending it?

little raptor
# 
params ["_unit", "_killer"];
if (group _killer == group player && {[side _unit, side _killer] call BIS_fnc_sideIsEnemy}) then {
  dmpCVP = dmpCVP + 1
}
open fractal
modern meteor
#

oh, i see. so the whole code would look like this?

params ["_unit", "_killer"];
if (group _killer == group player && {[side _unit, side _killer] call BIS_fnc_sideIsEnemy}) then {
  dmpCVP = dmpCVP + 1
}
}] call CBA_fnc_addClassEventHandler;```
little raptor
#

yes

#

you also need an init EH probably

#

Init and InitPost events can execute code retroactively for already existing objects. This is useful when working with scheduled scripts like init.sqf or a postInit function defined in CfgFunctions.

#

your killed EH will not be added to existing units

#

you can do:

{
  _x addEventHandler ["killed", {call my_fnc_addKillScore}];
} forEach allUnits
little raptor
modern meteor
modern meteor
little raptor
#

init.sqf

little raptor
#

as long as it's executed once

#

e.g init.sqf

modern meteor
modern meteor
#

Not familiar with fnc

little raptor
#

have you never worked with functions before?

modern meteor
#

no

little raptor
#

then you better start

#

execVM is garbage

#

you can make functions in many ways

#

the easiest way is making a file that defines your functions and execute that file before everything else

#

e.g. in init.sqf:

# 
call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "scripts\initFunctions.sqf";
#

in initFunctions.sqf:

my_fnc_addKillScore = {
  params ["_unit", "_killer"];
  if (group _killer == group player && {[side _unit, side _killer] call BIS_fnc_sideIsEnemy}) then   {
    dmpCVP = dmpCVP + 1
  }
};

or you can put each function in its own file:

my_fnc_addKillScore = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "scripts\fnc_addKillScore.sqf";
#

but the better way is using cfgFunctions

#

it might be a bit difficult to learn that one at first, but once you do it's even easier than the above method

modern meteor
#

understood. so compiling a function from init.sqf at mission start means that I can call this functions during mission?

little raptor
#

yes

modern meteor
#

Ok

little raptor
#

you can either call it or spawn it

#

and it'll be faster than execVM

modern meteor
#

Out of interest, why is it better than execVM?

little raptor
#

because the game doesn't have to recompile it every time

modern meteor
#

ah, i see

little raptor
#

using scheduled code in event handlers is a bad idea

modern meteor
#

functions execute parallel? even if another functions is currently executed?

little raptor
#

especially if that EH may trigger several times in quick succession

little raptor
#

everything is sequential

modern meteor
#

ok, i try to put this together and report back. thank you!

little raptor
#

it helps you write better scripts

modern meteor
#

Great, i will look into this. Thank you

modern meteor
little raptor
#

yes

modern meteor
#

ok

# 
  _x addEventHandler ["killed", {call my_fnc_addKillScore}];
} forEach allUnits```
#

the ;

#

not after allUnits?

#

when i add it to the init file

little raptor
brazen lagoon
#

is there a built in way to do a simple confirm box?

#

yeah this works

open fractal
#

can't you just add a mission event handler serverside?

#

you'd have to add a check that it's a unit and other entities aren't being counted

open fractal
#

does not require any variables to be set, just set up the files and it will automatically give squad leaders rally points

#

based on actual group leaders instead of cough rhs classnames

open fractal
#

is group ownership determined by the group leader?

#

if there is a group of players and the leader changes will the netID change as well?

open fractal
#

actually I'll just assume I'm better off generating an ID and setting it in the group varspace. Are netID's always going to be unique or do they get recycled?

granite sky
#

IIRC they're not recycled.

How would I go about converting this command line to use remoteExec instead of BIS_fnc_MP

[ [[0],"\pdb\functions\vehicles\fn_Server_setVehicle.sqf"],"BIS_fnc_execVM",false,false ] call BIS_fnc_MP;
granite sky
#

remoteExec needs a function as target rather than a filename, so you'll need to deal with that first.

broken forge
#

@granite sky Thanks for the information I'll go ahead and start working on the conversion

granite sky
#

oh, this is a BIS_fnc_MP -> execVM anyway...

broken forge
#

I think I finished converting the scripts. This is my directory layout: PDB > PDB_Functions_F > Vehicle
Within the Vehicle Directory I have a folder call scripts which has the 6 script files in it. Then I have a fn_init.sqf within the Vehicle Directory.

Here is my fn_init.sqf: ```sqf
execVM "\PDB\PDB_Functions_F\Vehicle\scripts\getVehicle.sqf";
execVM "\PDB\PDB_Functions_F\Vehicle\scripts\getVehicleHitpointDamage.sqf";
execVM "\PDB\PDB_Functions_F\Vehicle\scripts\getVehicleInventory.sqf";
execVM "\PDB\PDB_Functions_F\Vehicle\scripts\setSingleVehicle.sqf";
execVM "\PDB\PDB_Functions_F\Vehicle\scripts\setVehicle.sqf";
execVM "\PDB\PDB_Functions_F\Vehicle\scripts\setVehicleInventory.sqf";

Here is my `config.cpp`: ```c
class CfgPatches {
    class PDB_Functions_F {
        addonRootClass = "PDB";
        units[] = {};
        requiredVersion = 1.0;
        requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Modules_F"};
    };
};

class CfgFunctions {
    class PDB {
        class Functions {
            mode = 2;
            jip = 1;
            
            // To Initialize PDB_FNC_Vehicle Function Open Init.sqf or InitServer.sqf & Add [] call PDB_FNC_Vehicle;
            class Vehicle {
                file = "\PDB\PDB_Functions_F\Vehicle\fn_init.sqf";
                description = "Script is Executed From The Init.sqf or InitServer.sqf";
            };
        };
    };

Would the BIS_fnc_MP command line now become this: [0] remoteExec ["Server_setvehicle"];

#

I'm pretty sure detection of required addons is based only on the generated list in mission.sqm, and since dynamic creation doesn't update that it just doesn't know about anything you add later. Less deliberate logic and more "that's just how it is"

meager granite
#

Yeah, feels like some ancient arbitrary requirement

#

Guess I gotta figure out how activateAddons works

drifting portal
#

Is there a way to check if player is locking onto something (with a missile)?

meager granite
#

Was no way back when I checked

#

Locked target is cursorTarget, but it doesn't mean player is really locking it

#

You'll also have to figure if player can lock at all (have weapon with locking in hands, etc.)

#

Wild guess would be to figure how locking is calculated by the engine so you can guess if locking was started yourself? Check weapon parameters, target visibility, position if locking button was pressed. Simulate what engine does.

#

Basically, nothing is easy

#

Unless there is an easier way now after many years

drifting portal
meager granite
#

IIRC cursorTarget might remain even if target is no longer visible, on screen, etc.

drifting portal
#

Well

meager granite
#

So locking won't actually happen

drifting portal
#

I was trying to add a minor feature so I won't go through the hassle of trying to figure that out, I will just discard the idea lol

And anything using scheduled environment can still "lag"

#

Because there's no guarantee that it runs when you want it to

#

So the "lag" problem you have could be because the scheduler on your server is not keeping up

little raptor
drifting portal
little raptor
#

the object should be local too

drifting portal
#

because I'm attaching a global object to it

#

that will get dropped

little raptor
#

there is no other way

drifting portal
#

hmmm

#

alright I will send the code

#

starting from line 74

#

that's where setVelocityTransformation starts

#

I had the sleep duration at line 93 set to 0.01 previously

#

but it looks like when its set to 0.005 it looks like the vehicle is moving correctly without lagging on clients (script executed on server)

#

but the problem I'm facing is time dilation?

#

if I set _time = 15;
previously (sleep 0.01) it would finish the whole sequence in 15 seconds
now with (sleep 0.005) it would finish the whole sequence in 30 seconds??

#

by sequence I mean the movement of the object from start to end

#

I know the code is kind of long but I'm really trying to make something good here so help would be appreciated lol

little raptor
drifting portal
#

never

little raptor
#

I mean what on earth is this?

_time = _time - 0.005;
sleep 0.005;
drifting portal
#

not in sqf at least

little raptor
#

like I said before don't use while

drifting portal
little raptor
drifting portal
#

how would I be able to control how long it would take for the object to finish the 'course'

little raptor
#

using a timer

little raptor
#

and subtract current time from it
then divide by expected duration. that'll give you the _interval

#

what you do right now is accumulating errors

drifting portal
#

also how would I use oneachframe and timer, say if fps drops from 60 to 20 for whatever reason how would the timer still be accurate?

little raptor
# 
_startTime = time;
...
_interval = (time - _StartTime) / _duration
little raptor
#

FPS is completely irrelevant

#

if your FPS drops the motion will get laggy again

drifting portal
little raptor
#

doesn't matter where you use it

#

but if you intend to use it with onEachFrame the start time has to be global

drifting portal
#

oh so you are talking about local objects here?

little raptor
#

ofc don't use onEachFrame anyway

little raptor
#

you should use local objs anyway

#

if you're moving static objects with that code it'll be laggy when ping gets higher

#

because they don't have velocity

drifting portal
#

well what is the point of velocity parameters in setVelocityTransformation if they won't have velocity?

little raptor
#

nothing

#

velocity is only for dynamic objects

#

e.g. cars, units, etc.

drifting portal
#

well

#

its createVehicle

#

isn't hat dynamic or it has to have velocity?

little raptor
#

doesn't matter

drifting portal
#

alright

little raptor
#

simulation is defined in the config

drifting portal
#

yeah

#

its an airplane

little raptor
#

you can create houses with createVehicle too

drifting portal
#

object is an airplane so it should be dynamic

little raptor
#

your problem is the script itself

drifting portal
#

oof

little raptor
#

not the object

drifting portal
little raptor
#

whatever you want

#

but if it's too big it'll get laggy again

#

better use an each frame loop

drifting portal
#

since I tested 0.005 as not being laggy I will try that and see if I need to use eachframe

little raptor
#

(and not onEachFrame command)

drifting portal
#

yeah the EH

little raptor
drifting portal
#

won't we create a lot of floats?

little raptor
#

wat?

drifting portal
#

because it will subtract each frame?

little raptor
#

and what do you think your while is doing?!

drifting portal
#

yeah it worse lol

#

my bad

little raptor
#

what if the user was running at 10 FPS?

drifting portal
#

yep

#

I thought it was consistent on all FPS

little raptor
#

second of all, you kept subtracting from _time and stored the result into _time

#

that was causing errors to pile up

drifting portal
#

Yeah I did that to make the while condition

#

_time >= 0

#

but floats are not funny

#

I guess global objects count as a mistake I made too?

little raptor
#

alternatively:

_endTime = _starTime + _dur;
while {_startTime < _endTime}
drifting portal
#

now I will test this and report back

#

btw is uisleep more accurate the sleep?

winter rose
#

no
it just keeps counting while paused

would be nice if it's possible

I'm making script that moves AI slowly to spot but there's some jittering as they move, probably from unit<->unit collision

proven charm
little raptor
#

and/or setPosXXX?

proven charm
little raptor
#

well don't

#

it has nothing to do with collision

#

if you want to move objects smoothly use setVelocityTransformation like I told you before

#

or did I? thonk

proven charm
proven charm
little raptor
#

the wiki had an example for ladder climb too iirc

proven charm
#

so am I supposed to call setVelocityTransformation in loop while increasing the interval?

little raptor
#

yes

proven charm
#

ok

#

seems to work ๐Ÿ™‚

#

I just put unit's vectorDir & vectorUp as parameters

#

like this: ```_man setVelocityTransformation [AtlToASL _startPos, AtlToASL _stopPos, [0,0,0], [0,0,0], vectorDir _man, vectorDir _man, vectorUp _man, vectorUp _man, _m];

#

but the man plays fall animation and sometimes is left hovering

#

maybe something wrong with start/end positions?

#

Nvm, fixed it

#

works well, ty Leopard20 ๐Ÿ™‚

I'm pretty sure it worked before thonk

proven charm
#

kinda curious why that isn't needed for SP?

little raptor
little raptor
#

in MP the object will look laggy due to ping

proven charm
little raptor
#

if the object has velocity the game can "guess" its next pos

proven charm
#

ok

#

probably best to leave it as zero vector because I'm using it in EachFrame EH

little raptor
cyan dust
proven charm
little raptor
#

you can remove it blobdoggoshruggoogly

#

I mean the vectorMultiply part

#

then the speed will be 1 m/s

proven charm
#

hmmm im increasing the interval like this: _m = _m + 0.01;

#

not sure how the speed plays with that?

little raptor
little raptor
#

instead of those, just use the duration you want the unit to "slide" there

little raptor
proven charm
#

well it works now with the time, still don't understand the speed/interval relationship lol but anyway, thx Leopard ๐Ÿ™‚

little raptor
#

and if you know the duration, e.g 2 seconds:

_speed = (_startPosASL vectorDistance _endPosASL) / 2
proven charm
#

@little raptor ok, thx will try to figure that but math isn't my strongest side

#

Is this correct? _speed = 2; _interval = (time - _startTime) * _speed; _vel = (AtlToASL _startPos) vectorFromTo (AtlToASL _stopPos) vectorMultiply _speed;

#

I think this is it: _speed = 1 / 2; duration 2 secs

little raptor
little raptor
proven charm
little raptor
#

well your math is wrong meowsweats

#

you're doing time * speed

#

i.e s * m/s which gives you m

#

meters, i.e distance. so it's not interval

proven charm
#

well I could have used better names for the variables

#

how about: _duration = 2; _mul = 1 / _duration; _interval = (time - _startTime) * _mul; _vel = (AtlToASL _startPos) vectorFromTo (AtlToASL _stopPos) vectorMultiply _mul;

little raptor
#

well still wrong

#

what is 1?

proven charm
#

its just my math, that's what it is lol

little raptor
#

1 / time gives frequency

#

Hz

proven charm
#

then I use that to multiply stuff

little raptor
#

(AtlToASL _startPos) vectorFromTo (AtlToASL _stopPos) vectorMultiply _mul;
you're multiplying a unit vector by Hz

#

it's not velocity

#

velocity is m/s (distance / time)

proven charm
#

if the script takes , let's say 4 seconds to run to interval 1 then wouldn't vectorMultiply 0.25 give you correct speed vector?

little raptor
#

no

proven charm
#

oh

little raptor
#

again, speed is distance over time

little raptor
proven charm
#

ok so i should be using vectorDistance?

little raptor
#

yes

#

or distance

#

vectorDistance is better here

proven charm
#

ok

#

so if I have the speed, how do you turn it into a vector?

#

_startPosASL vectorFromTo _stopPosASL vectorMultiply _speed ?

little raptor
#

yes

proven charm
#

ok

little raptor
#

if it wasn't what you said was correct

proven charm
#

ah

little raptor
#

i.e

(AtlToASL _stopPos) vectorDiff (AtlToASL _startPos) vectorMultiply _mul;
proven charm
#

so is this correct then: ```_duration = 2;
_mul = 1 / _duration;
_interval = (time - _startTime) * _mul;

_speed = ((AtlToASL _startPos) vectorDistance (AtlToASL _stopPos)) * _mul;

_vel = (AtlToASL _startPos) vectorDiff (AtlToASL _stopPos) vectorMultiply _speed;```

little raptor
#

no

# 
_duration = 2;
_mul = 1 / _duration;
_interval = (time - _startTime) * _mul;

_vel = (AtlToASL _stopPos) vectorDiff (AtlToASL _startPos) vectorMultiply _mul;;
proven charm
#

ok thx ๐Ÿ™‚

#

tried going the vectorDistance way

little raptor
# proven charm tried going the vectorDistance way

that would be:

_duration = 2;
_speed = (_startPosASL vectorDistance _endPosASL) / _duration;
_interval = (time - _startTime) / _duration ;

_vel = _startPosASL vectorFromTo _stopPosASL vectorMultiply _speed
proven charm
#

nice

#

btw does it matter which variable goes first to vectorDiff?

#

I have _startPos vectorDiff _stopPos

little raptor
#

that's wrong

proven charm
#

ok so stoppos first

little raptor
#

yes

#

the vector should point to stopPos

#

kinda like when you do 2 - 1 it points towards 2 because the diff is positive

proven charm
#

right

#

that fixed it, completely works now

25 in the air, returns 25. put in 2 more, returns 27

Land_FloodLight_F did not inherit Air in vanilla. So perhaps it is a Mod issue

Hello, what is the best way to count the number of enemy OPFOR units in a radius around the player?

little raptor
#

there's also nearTargets, but it only works with known enemies

modern meteor
#

Not sure if I am doing it right but I a create the following variable to define the radius:

enemyradius = [getPos player, 1000, 360] call BIS_fnc_relPos;```
#

This is supposed to define the check radius

granite sky
#

It doesn't do anything like that. It just creates a position 1000m north of the player, very slowly.

modern meteor
#

hm ok

#

I should also add that not all the enemies are known to the player

granite sky
#

either of Leopard's first two suggestions work fine. For example:
units east inAreaArray [getPosATL player, 1000, 1000]

modern meteor
#

gotcha

granite sky
#

The nearEntities method is maybe better if the radius is very small.

is sqfbin down?

I guess I will use pastebin

Yesterday I was told to preferably not use while for setVelocityTransformation (as the object was lagging for clients), I tried using EachFrame EH, but it came with bunch of difficulties
https://pastebin.com/8CTwX1LK
Line 72 is where eachframe EH is added, if we go to line 91, it has the if statement for dropping cargo, problem is when the if statement is triggered, its triggered at least 10 times and 10 parachutes are created before its disabled by _IsCargoDropped bool, how would I fix that?

#

Ditch the useless outer spawn before the addMissionEventHandler at least.

#

also you can pass args into a mission event handler.

#

if you use set on that args array then it's persistent, so that's one way of maintaining vars between eachframe runs.

#

alternatively you can setVariable on the plane or whatever.

drifting portal
granite sky
#

third parameter.

#

addMissionEventHandler [event, expression, arguments]

drifting portal
#

oh alright

#

well

#

we are still at the 10 parachutes spawning issue still lol

granite sky
#

it's because your isCargoDropped var isn't persistent across frames.

#

So I gave you options for making it persistent.

drifting portal
#

ah alright I will try that

#

I apologise for not reading properly because I'm kinda confused about it not being persistent

granite sky
#

_arr = [1];
_arr params ["_val"];
_val =2;
=> _arr is still [1]

#

Each frame, your params call is just pulling the original values from the array.

oh alright makes sense

@warm hedge

warm hedge
#

_ps1 is not defined there

worthy igloo
#

publicVariable '_ps1';would work?

warm hedge
#

No. publicVariable won't do that for local variable

#

You need to use global variable or something to use this elsewhere

      publicVariable "test";
      deleteVehicle _ps1;
      };'];
``` it didnt wrk
warm hedge
#

What

#

Rename _ps1 entirely I mean

worthy igloo
#

I don't understand

warm hedge

In the first place, publicVariable is for passing a variable to a computer to other computers, which means, multiplayer only thing. No need to do it only in your computer
