is it a bug that when you switch to high command you can still see the enemy group markers, even if Enemy Marker is turned off in difficulty settings?

it's been like this forever tho meowsweats

"U_I_OfficerUniform" and perhaps other vanilla base game uniforms seems to be lacking Hidden Selections so it is impossible to apply mission folder textures to units wearing that uniform via setObjectTexture. Please fix it!

forcedDifficulty seems buggy since 2.02 (or before?) it seems
https://feedback.bistudio.com/T157572

i think to recall something was changed by difficulty engine read (via name instead or index/order) - not sure if thats out already as cant find it changelogs

untold sky

"was changed by difficulty engine read (via name instead or index/order)" for 2.04 yes. Thats not that, and also not related to server configs

Pretty strange behavior, known?

  1. Kill a man inside a vehicle who is a member of your group
  2. Your player unit recognizes he's dead now (2, SITREP)
  3. The dead's NVG and backpack suddenly appear

also i wanted to have a proper way to show nvg and backpack on an unit in a vehicle, not a glitch behavior, still wishing it

sinful kettle
#

I mean nvg and backpack in vehicles

gray wharf
#

I believe it would be for "3D collisions" reasons

#

like, not having the backpack going through the side of the car ^^

alpine tulip
#

I want it for my really personal perspective, it's easy (I think) to make some properties to β€œshow nvg/backpack on this vehicle” in CfgVehicles entry

sinful kettle
#

I believe it would be for "3D collisions" reasons
that too but afaik getting the proxies for units in vehicles is kinda expensive, and kinda waste of performance - 99% of the time you don't see (or care about) those stuff when a unit is in a vehicle

tribal rivet
#

Although one of them would probably become a Bergen πŸ™„

limpid rune
#

it'd be nice to be able to toggle them for sure, like backpacks being visible on static weapon gunners etc

does setVariable use unordered_map? notlikemeow

#veterans message
Is it possible to have those "building geometry" map or whatever in a command?

untold sky
#

I'll currently not consider tickets.
I'll spend the next weeks implementing the major things I want done for 2.06 and then I'll look at other requests.
Otherwise I just end up with a flood of tickets that need to be shifted to 2.08 again

sinful kettle
#

I was joking! πŸ˜›

untold sky
#

how would you want that in a command?

sinful kettle
#

I mean the object "bounding box" things (except they're not just plain "boxes")

untold sky
#

its the AI map thats used for findFreePosition/createVehicle or AI pathing

sinful kettle
#

For example, how do the AI see the corners of objects in the vanilla? (when they take cover)
I have to use line intersections to detect them.
if they are readily available in the game it'd be faster to have them in a command

restive bone
#

(or later)

sinful kettle
#

(if possible)

untold sky
#

the AI map is generated by doing lineIntersects, basically

untold sky
sinful kettle
#

for my earlier request

untold sky
#

its not actually using line intersects, just basically

#

no I didn't check

Well I'll try.
Can't tell if it'll make it until its actually done

Quick Question:
Why does findDisplay 46 createDisplay ... in Eden Editor simply fails silently, while findDisplay 313 createDisplay... in mission preview crashes the game?

#

I'd prefer it would both times fail silently

gray wharf
#

what is 313, Eden ?

daring wagon
#

yes

gray wharf
#

I suppose 46 = displayNull, whereas 313 = not allowed = boom

daring wagon
#

But does that makes sense

#

findDisplay 313 should also return displayNull then and createDisplay should fail

gray wharf
daring wagon
gray wharf
#

display 313 exists
it tries
fails
crashes

finite anvil
#

what happens if you try to create a display on top of display 12 (map) or 0 (main menu)? @daring wagon

daring wagon
#

No clue, need to test

daring wagon
untold sky

I think eden display exists behind mission preview

        editorCategory = "EdCat_Structures_Enoch";
        destrType = "DestructTree";

the model here seems not to exist - is that considered worth reporting despite scope=1?

Does a β€œtry to load anyways” system in Editor when in a missing MODs situation make sense?

gray wharf
#

I would say sure, like "delete if class is missing"

alpine tulip
#

Kinda so. Just a showerthoughts (not really) so not entirely sure how it should work

gray wharf
#

please take a shower sometimes

alpine tulip
#

That's a hot take

restive bone
#

but then arma should definetly create a backup of the mission

gray wharf
#

related to R3vo's ticket πŸ˜‰

restive bone
#

Yup

#

But yeah I guess the game would need to move the actual dependency entry, and also any item linked to that mod I guess

#

Not sure how the second part would work, maybe check the list of items against the list of all availabel items or something? dunno I'll leave that for smarter minds to figure out

alpine tulip
#

I think an object that has a missing class should be shown like a red ! and if mouseover it will show the classname, or IDK

gray wharf
#

but I assume it will be done in the "purge sqm from any unknown classes" way

restive bone
#

yee

alpine tulip
#

β€œwould you like to make a mission.sqm backup and try to purge unknowns?” button?

restive bone
#

that sounds more like the tooltip

gray wharf
#

or one super huge button πŸ˜„

restive bone

maybe "Try to load anyways"?

or attempt to sound fancier

Hey Ded,
would you be interested in taking a look at why the zooming is just so buggy?
sometimes I zoom in on a tree and it gets lower quality, while those out of my view get better meowsweats
also someone reported this:

I'm at 5700ATL / 5705ATL (VR map) and have one of these "20*10*8 VR OBSTACLES-boxes" 1100 meters (at same altitude) from my pos, it "disappears" when I zoom in either holding rmb or with a scope. View distance is 12000 (I don't see how CH view distance could conflict here).
it actually might be related to position stuff. might be worth giving it a quick look. maybe it uses the wrong position format notlikemeow

spare vine
#

or it has incorrect LOD's, which in combination with zoom (aka FoV change) jumps into a different level based on view and has nothing to do with the distance πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

sinful kettle
#

maybe
but I'm talking about vanilla trees

spare vine
#

Should be easy to test though; find "sweet spot" to see bug with zooming, and change FoV to see same effect

uncut briar
#

There is something weird with tree lodding but it was like this for ages.

#

sometimes trees in middle of the screen turn into lowest 2d looking ones

sinful kettle
#

all the more reason to investigate meowsweats

uncut briar
#

and the ones on the edge look fine.

#

simple example, it can be a lot more extreme at times.

#

But it's nothing new. I recall it happening at least for 2-3 years.

daring wagon
#

I'd recommend and icon in the statusbar. That's why it's called statusbar

I probably won't touch LOD'ing issues

13:50:07 Warning Message: Preprocessor failed with error - Invalid file name(empty filename)
Could this message be more detailed?

untold sky
#

I think I already did that yes

#

if I did it, it should be on dev branch

daring wagon
#

I think in my case it's caused by

ifndef E
(missing #)

#

Yep, that was it. Kinda a weird message for that error.

untold sky
#

it would normally log filename and position and actual error

#

but if it has no filename, it falls back to that

#

even though it has all the other info

daring wagon
#

hmm ok

alpine tulip
#

Is this even possible/worth of modifying Engine nowadays?

Custom Controls and configurable in Controls menu:cpp class CfgCustomControls { class PLP_MyGreatControlGroup { displayName = "Hola!"; // Control Group name class Controls { class PLP_ControlAlpha { displayName = "A Control"; tooltip = "bla bla..."; default = 1; // DIK Keycodes }; class PLP_ControlBravo { /* bra bra... */ }; }; }; };And usable via inputAction.

And custom Game Options:cpp class CfgCustomOptions { class PLP_MyGreatOptionsGroup { displayName = "My MOD Options"; // Control Group name class Controls { class PLP_OptionAlpha { displayName = "Option Alpha"; tooltip = "bla bla..."; type = "Slider"; // Slider, Combo(box), Checkbox. Maybe more? default = 1; }; class PLP_OptionBravo: PLP_OptionAlpha { displayName = "Option Bravo"; type = "Combo"; class Items { class DefaultVariable { displayName = "A"; tooltip = "A"; data = "A"; }; class SecondVariable: DefaultVariable { displayName = "B"; tooltip = "B"; data = "B"; }; /* And so on... */ }; }; }; }; };And usable via a command like: getCustomOptionVar.
Basically a similar thing with CBA, but Engine.

Does this idea even makes sense/feasible/good?
Yet another showerthoughts after all. It's okay if the answer is a no.

daring wagon
#

tbh I like it

When you have cba it seems useless.

diag_setTerrainHeight has no ingame description.

untold sky
#

does it need to? πŸ˜„

#

It does actually.
left param is "coordiantes" right is "new height"
description is empty but stating "sets terrain height" is a bit redundant

daring wagon
#

What I don't get. It wants a position but how big is the area around that position where the terrain hight gets changed?

#

I presume it needs an area and not just a point?

#

Or does it changes the height of the cell the position is in?

untold sky

Its one cell corner

the command takes a point

Would it be feasible to give us an ingame option to remove these entries from mission.sqm and load the mission afterward?

107410_20210428160648_1.png

Alternatively it would be neat if addons[]= {
array in mission.sqm would be sorted alphabetically

restive bone
#

there's a ticket for a load anyways button iirc

So instead of cpp addons[]= { "A3_Props_F_Orange_Humanitarian_Camps", "A3_Props_F_Enoch_Military_Equipment", "A3_Props_F_Enoch_Military_Camps", "A3_Structures_F_EPA_Civ_Constructions", "A3_Structures_F_EPA_Mil_Scrapyard", "ace_cargo", "A3_Structures_F_Items_Vessels", "ace_smallarms", "ace_optics", "A3_Weapons_F_Items", "ace_medical_engine", "ace_medical_treatment", "ace_attach", "ace_chemlights", "ace_goggles", "ace_explosives", "A3_Weapons_F_Rifles_MX", "A3_Sounds_F", "A3_Sounds_F_Enoch", "ace_scopes", "ace_ai", "A3_Characters_F_Enoch_Headgear", "A3_Ui_F" }; we would have addons[]= { "A3_Characters_F_Enoch_Headgear", "A3_Props_F_Enoch_Military_Camps", "A3_Props_F_Enoch_Military_Equipment", "A3_Props_F_Orange_Humanitarian_Camps", "A3_Sounds_F", "A3_Sounds_F_Enoch", "A3_Structures_F_EPA_Civ_Constructions", "A3_Structures_F_EPA_Mil_Scrapyard", "A3_Structures_F_Items_Vessels", "A3_Ui_F" "A3_Weapons_F_Items", "A3_Weapons_F_Rifles_MX", "ace_ai", "ace_attach", "ace_cargo", "ace_chemlights", "ace_explosives", "ace_goggles", "ace_medical_engine", "ace_medical_treatment", "ace_optics", "ace_scopes", "ace_smallarms", };

would it be possible to make event handlers work on ammo objects?

at least killed or deleted would be nice (e.g to know when a mine explodes)
or maybe some new projectile exclusive EHs (like "destroyed", "impact", "ricocheted", etc.)

sinful kettle
#

So Ded,
did you do any optimization in regex for the case where you use them in loops?
for example:

_array findIf {"blabla" regexMatch "blabla"}
```?
I was hoping it wouldn't create the regex every time for speed
#

I guess we could use some commands for adding/removing backpack/uniform/vest containers to/from ammo boxes (if possible)

#

When you create a ticket how long does it usually take for the devs to start working on it?

restive bone
#

The devs will pick it up when they've got time for it, which can take a while because of limited manpower

#

ofcourse i was thinking of somekind of time estimation?

there is none

I scroll through tickets once per week/two weeks and pick out what I think is important

oh ok

yeah my ticket is probably seen not as priority so I will have to think of workaround

if the ticket author configs that something is fixed, then it can be closed

fickle root
#

well, @sinful kettle message is from February and 2.04 was released just few days ago, so I thought it might have been fixed since February. Otherwise I don't understand how can one mention it's fixed in 2.04 patch changelog if it isn't then

sinful kettle
fickle root
#

then it shouldn't have been mentioned in the 2.04 patch changelog, for me

untold sky
#

A issue that is related to that ticket has been fixed. Thats what the changelog says

a second part of the same ticket is still not fixed

The changelog doesn't say that the whole ticket is fixed. It just says something related to that ticket was fixed

Not even sure it is a bug or intended, but weird behavior, Draw3D MEH'd drawRectangle and other map drawing commands are affected by camera effects, such as dynamic blur and NVG effects. Draw CEH or onEachFrame have no issue with it

Recently added "outsideTerrain" >> "colorOutside" That wasn't recently added, that parameter existed for years

#

"parameter is not be able to overwrite" wat? πŸ™ƒ

alpine tulip
#

Ah true

untold sky
#

question is, how would I let it choose which parameter wins?

#

Terrain makers asked for parameter that overwrites map control, because they want to hide the outside area

#

but map control always defines colorOutside afaik

alpine tulip
#

That's the point. I think add a parameter overwriteColorOutside = 1; for the map control will do?

untold sky
#

forceColorOutside=1 then

alpine tulip

Yeah not really sure about it. But I just feel this is wrong and blocking the way to the thing I wanted to do!

no its not.
Person 1 reports "game crashed in singleplayer" now everyone who ever gets a crash in singleplayer assumes they have the exact same issue, even though in 99% of cases they have some different issue.
And "me too" without crashdump doesn't help me at all because without the crashdump I cannot see if its the same, and it most likely is not the same

I may have found another issue with regex.
I'm trying to use regexFind in this string:

"if (true) then {
1
}; " regexFind ["\n(\t|\s)*", 0]

and I get 4 results

",16],["",22],["
",18],["",22]]```
(the 22 ones are end of string)
#

there should only be 2 results (the \n after { and before })

sinful kettle
#

Also, please fix the error "0 elements provided, 0 expected" when you use empty string: "" regexFind ["bla", 0]

sinful kettle
#

Oh.
I just realized why this happens!
it also lists the capture groups:

"AAAA{}" regexFind ["(A{4})/io", 0]

[["AAAA",0],["AAAA",0]]
#

is this intended behavior?

gray wharf
#

Capture groups exists for this yes πŸ™‚

#

e.g My name is (.+) if you want to grab someone's name

untold sky
#

yes. You can use a non-capturing group if you don't want them to list

#

If you have named capture groups, I should add the name of the matched group to the thing probably

#

But it probably shouldn't list the exact same match twice. Depends. I'll check if I can make it better in a sensible way

gray wharf

it should not return empty matches afaik

That find stuff with capture groups is annoying :U
Maybe I should change the return format.
Instead of array of all matched groups.
Array of matches like so

->

[["test is a cat", 0, ["test", 0], ["cat", 10]], [" test is a cat", 14, [" test", 14], ["cat", 24]]]

first match, with its capture groups.
Second match with its capture groups

instead of current result
[["test is a cat",0],["cat",10,0],[" test is a cat",13],["cat",24,0]]

the wiki says exitWith works with count etc but I have problem with that

untold sky
#

just use break

#

That was in 2.04 right? I think it was

dreamy bane
# 
{ if(_x == 3) exitWith { false }; true } count [1,2,3,4];
#

cant get the highlight to work...

untold sky
#

{ if(_x == 3) then{ break; }; true } count [1,2,3,4];

#

your ticks are the wrong way around

Discord_2021-05-07_19-35-38.png
dreamy bane
#

right thanks for the workaround, just wanted to tell exitWith doesnt work

#

and thx for that also πŸ™‚

untold sky
#

not a workaround. Thats the way you're supposed to do it really

dreamy bane
#

using exitWith makes the code return false instead of number

#

but I guess you knew that already?

untold sky
#

Dunno, but sounds reasonable

dreamy bane
#

hmmm, sounds buggy to me πŸ˜„

#

it just bothers me because there is no info where the exitWith works and where not

untold sky
#

don't use it in loops, because thats what we have break/breakWith for. Which works in all loops

dreamy bane
#

ok I think the wiki needs updating though, just trying to help

untold sky
#

yep probably

dreamy bane
#

this also doesnt work (returns 2):

# 
{ if(_x == 3) then{ break; }; true } count [1,2,3,4];
#

should return 3

untold sky
#

you return false

#

1 -> true
2 -> true
3 -> false

total count of true's, 2

#

exact same as with your exitWith

#

If you want 3 you can return true

{ if(_x == 3) then{ breakWith true; }; true } count [1,2,3,4];

sinful kettle
untold sky
#

{ if(_x == 3) exitWith { false }; true } count [1,2,3,4];
returns false for me in debug console.

#

{ if(_x == 3) exitWith { 1 }; true } count [1,2,3,4];
returns 1, but defeats the purpose of the count

dreamy bane
#

oh yeah break exits the count loop while exitWith skips one... like continue

sinful kettle
dreamy bane
#

so what I really need is continue, if I understood correctly (for the counting)

untold sky
#

if you want to skip just 3, yes

dreamy bane
#

so final code would be:

# 
{ if(_x == 2) then { continueWith false; }; true } count [1,2,3,4]
untold sky
#

default is nil, so just continue; should be fine too

dreamy bane
#

well thx for that, now I can properly work with counts

At first I thought aperture 0 would simply not possible

I dunno what that number is

gray wharf

(e.g same as -1?)

daring wagon
#

Ah yes, auto aperture

so I guess a bug in the code?

#

if (_value <= 0) instead of < 0?

gray wharf
#

you most likely cannot set it to 0, so expected behaviour?

I can

Read above

if 0.01 sets it to 0, that's the bug maybe πŸ˜„

daring wagon

-1 β†’ auto
0 β†’ should be 0

0.001 β†’ should be 0.001

It's just weird

At least without knowing the thought behind it

#

Alright. I had a bug in my code.

The only thing that is wrong is, that the biki description was incorrect. In fact, a value <= 0 will force auto aperture, not only -1 as stated

I have updated the biki accordingly. All good now

Can anyone confirm that ```sqf

Will not automatically enable simulation for groups/units which are in this distance?

it seems like after changing the distance, I have to come within the previous set distance first to enable the simulation. After that the new distance is used for calculation.

#

The other way around, going from 10000m to 10m triggers a change of simulation immediately

nop it uses same preproc as the other

isn't it already in the game?

Not a preprocessor bug.
CfgFunction uses preprocessFile, that is supposed to not have line numbers.

CfgFunctions should be changed to use preprocessFileLineNumbers yes, and it will be. But nothing is wrong with the preprocessor.

I got a feature request for Eden Editor. Would it be feasible to change how makers are displayed when marker alpha is set to 0?

That works. But if you have a mission with 60 markers which are displayed depending on certain tasks etc. This is getting a bit annoying

#

@solid marten ran some further tests and updated the ticket accordingly, it seems that it's just the default syntax of selectionPosition that's broken, the alternative works fine it seems

#

It's an interesting issue tbf

solid marten
#

there is nothing wrong with 1st syntax it just doesn’t give you control over LOD. I see using alt syntax solved your problem, the ticket can be closed? your other concerns are model related unless you can show that it is simple object related and with normal object it works fine

vocal thistle
# solid marten there is nothing wrong with 1st syntax it just doesn’t give you control over LOD...

selectionNames returns a bunch of selections, but selectionPosition returns [0,0,0] for them as if they didn't exist, is that really how it's supposed to be? Not sure which LOD the 1st syntax is using, but the alternative syntax only has access to Memory, Geometry, FireGeometry, LandContact and HitPoints LODs and none of them seem to contain the selections that I'm trying to get positions of.

And in short, what I'm trying to do is to get the position of the proxy:\a3\data_f\proxies\weapon_slots\side.001 from a simple object created with a weapon model, like the description explains. And again, all selections are returning [0,0,0] when I try to get their position, and because the alternative syntax of selectionPosition only allows to check these few LODs, I can't access these selections with that alt syntax, because they are not present in these LODs.

#

I'll have to confirm if it happens with normal objects too (and from my previous experiments Im nearly sure it doesnt), but if it does, it would mean that the default syntax of selectionPosition is broken overall

#

It's a really odd issue to explain. Default syntax doesn't seem to work with simple objects, alt syntax works but it's limited to few LODs and doesn't have access to the same LOD as the default syntax, whichever LOD it is. Both options don't allow me to access the piece of data I need, which is the relative position of the side weapon proxy.

solid marten
#

I don’t know, is every selection returned by selectionNames supposed to have position in every LOD? What would you say @sterile nova

untold sky
#

negative

#

different lods have different selections

solid marten
#

so it boils down to not being able to query all available LODs? dunno if we can fix that

vocal thistle
#

not sure which LOD selectionPosition and selectionNames refer to with the default syntax, but selectionPosition always returns [0,0,0] for simple objects with the default syntax (when we don't specify the LOD)

#

so the optimal solution would be to make selectionPosition actually return the position of the selection in a simple object with default syntax,or - less optimally, but still - allow to target the resolution LODs with the alternative syntax

#

because, again - I am not able to get the position of the selections with the default syntax because it thinks it's always [0,0,0], while the alternative syntax doesn't allow me to target the LODs that I need, because the selections that I want to get the position of do not exist in the current set of LODs

#

Hope it makes sense, but it all just boils down to selectionPosition default syntax getting confused when running it on simple objects, that's pretty much all

#

the fact that it correctly gets the position with the alternative syntax for other selections (when we target a specific LOD) but always returns [0,0,0] with default syntax... it makes me believe that the default syntax of selectionPosition for simple objects queries an LOD that does not exist, for some reason. But that's just a wild guess, not sure what the code does under the hood

solid marten
# vocal thistle I'm reading through the documentation and I'm under the impression that I misund...

it is simple, default syntax switches LODs looking for selection Searches first in memory level, then in geometry LODs. the alt syntax allows to choose LOD. if selection name is on LOD not supported you get 0,0,0. Now I’ve read your ticket and replies several times and am getting more confused. Looks like you want to query LODs the script command doesn’t support, yet you say this is not the case but cannot formulate what is

@untold sky the new apply command for hashmaps has incorrect command info meowsweats

#

it says code apply hashmap

#

it should be hashmap apply code

#

also the return type is incorrect (I think). it says any. it should be array

#

btw, if the latest build was supposed to fix regex, it hasn't and it still can cause crashes.

#

simple repro:

"a" regexFind ["a", ""];
```![meowsweats](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/707626030613135390.webp?size=128 "meowsweats")
#

also this still throws an error 0 elements provided, 0 expected (I think you said it was fixed?):

"" regexFind ["bla", 0];

Workthoughts: A command that returns an identifier like:

{
  (getIdentifier format ["PLP_object_%1",_x]) = "B_MRAP_01_f" createVehicle getPos player;
} forEach ["A","B","C","D"]```This makes four Hunters: `PLP_object_A` to `PLP_object_D`
Makes sense? Even possible? Worth of ticket?

Would it be worth a ticket to request a command like setRemoteDetonatorRange <Number>. It would be awesome to have an option to change the predefined range in which satchels and other explosives can be triggered.

Couldn't find a ticket for this, and not sure it's worth one as I don't know if it's intended or not. The small airstrip in NW Altis (near Ammofoli) doesn't support landing, take-off, or taxi by AI fixed-wing aircraft. Landing autopilot also doesn't work, as expected, and attempting to use it there just puts the aircraft on an autopilot to land at the airport. Putting down an AI aircraft on the ground results in it taxiing to the start of the runway and then going off the runway into a house next to the runway. Should I make a ticket, or is it intended?

Guys, I've created a ticket on a subject previously discussed here as I think such addition would greatly benefit many mission makers and modders in many particular situations.

It is related to A3's default actions, and how the only way to disable them currently is via mods

Surely just changing the parameters behind who can heal people and with what items should be enough to "hide" the heal option?

untold sky
#

All scripted actions should have their action ID stored in a variable. So you can just call removeAction and be done with it.
Only problem are the "hardcoded" (config) engine actions

#

Something like disabledActions[] = {"classname"} sounds more feasible

sleek scaffold
#

The only really bothersome are the healing and the reload magazine ones...

#

The other default actions don't get in the way really

uncut briar
#

this is mostly done for AI not players, as you can't prevent AI from using them otherwise.

#

It's one of the reasons there's no toggle to simply disable ACE medical.

It gets completely in the way of my custom melee "take down" addction
you can set addAction's priority…

uncut briar

Maybe something like unit allowHealing false would be helpful there.

I do not like description.ext solution as you need to adjust your missions for that. If we would be able to disable it via scripts you could just toggle the system without touching the mission files.

#

is there config setting for timeout value?

desert trench
#

@solid marten no config setting
the difference is the following - with disableAI you can just disable or enable, but you loose the native engine functionality to switch units to AUTOCOMBAT (and off) based the circumstances, as well as the behavior while in AUTOCOMBAT

#

like you can try to script a similar enemy awareness system, but its difficult and not as good as the native engine one - so keeping using it, is desirable

#

you only want to manipulate the threshold, or to be able to get units out of autocombat or into - while retaining the original enemy awareness system (aka AI to switch into AUTOCOMBAT again if the situation demands/to get it out but with the potential to switch back into it or activate AUTOCOMBAT behavior)

solid marten
#

i don’t get it, what setautocombat does?

sleek scaffold
# solid marten i don’t get it, what setautocombat does?

When Ai units enter into COMBAT MODE due to their AUTO COMBAT feature being enabled then they stay in said COMBAT MODE for 5 minutes. There is currently no way to change those 5 minutes. I believe the proposed "setAutoCombatTimout" command would allow scripters, moders and mission makers to change those 5 minutes to any amount of time they deem fits their needs better.

#

An example could be: I am making a Metal Gear inspired mission. Metal Gear guards only go into COMBAT MODE for 2 minutes and then go back to their regular mode. There is no way to do that currently other than disabling and re enabling the Ai's AUTO COMBAT MODE which would probably mean a loop script running for each Ai unit on the mission. Missions with lots of Ai would probably suffer significantly because of that.

#

Don't take everything I said as spot on since I have proven difficulties understanding and explaining things in english but that is what I picked up from the ticket.

solid marten
sleek scaffold
#

Even an Mission Event handler would be very useful, for when a Group has entered COMBAT MODE and for when a Group leaves its COMBAT MODE. Something like the addmissioneventhandler groupcreated eh but instead addmissioneventhandler groupenteredcombat

#

EH for behaviour change would indeed be nice.

sleek scaffold
tranquil harbor
#

do not forget about @grave crag

sleek scaffold
#

@tranquil harbor now that you are among us, what would be more useful for you? A "setAutoCombatTimout/getAutoCombatTimout" command to modify the default time the Ai remains in COMBAT MODE or an EH for when groups change behaviour?

tranquil harbor
#

the latter is useful even outside of ai mods really. the first one would be also useful outside of ai mods.

i am pretty sure we would not need to use the EH as we basically use the dangerFSM and have a good grasp when a unit would switch to combat. The timeout thing is something we would need to discuss if we need it really.

but yeah both things would be nice to have

||i have not received an offer||

desert trench
# solid marten i don’t get it, what setautocombat does?

yeah sorry that ticket lacks enough context

setAutoCombat makes the group switch to autocombat - aka moves slowly and tactical
otherwise you need enemies to shoot on them to switch to this behavior. so the sqf command would trigger the behavior change, while enableAI/disableAI only is about if its available at all

does that help?

#

and yeah an EH would be handy too, but with getAutoCombat one could monitor the state itself via loops too

solid marten
#

but can you not set behaviour already to do this? and auto combat is just normal way the group would engage with enemy by default and you can disable it with disable ai? So if you setautocombat on you would change nothing as by default the group is already in auto combat, ie will go to combat behaviour when gets under fire? so if you set it off it will disable autocombat just like disable ai? maybe name is confusing, maybe you meant invoke combat behaviour when there is no enemy, but you can do this already. I’m not sure I can see clearly what you see

desert trench
#

i am not aware how you set a group to AUTOCOMBAT state (without spawning an AI to shoot on them). is there?

#

setAutoCombatTimout = adjust how quickly all/a specific group gets "normal" again
getAutoCombat = determine if a group/unit is in AUTOCOMBAT state
setAutoCombat = make a group switch to AUTOCOMBAT state even if not engaged + make a group leave AUTOCOMBAT state before the timeout hits (but capable to switch back into when engaged again) [the latter should be doable also via disableAI "AUTOCOMBAT" and enableAI "AUTOCOMBAT" shortly after, but not 100% and is no relying on true engine mechanics]

solid marten
#

isn’t the group is by default in autocombat unless you disabled it with disable ai?

desert trench
#

at least as far as my understanding is autocombat is or leads to an unique behavior by AI - slower, tactical movement, use of cover points, etc. not the same as behavior combat

sinful kettle
#

When someone engages the group, the leader sets the group to combat mode
When there's no enemy for ~ 1 min, they go back to aware

desert trench
#

@sinful kettle its 5 minutes and not the same as combat behavior, nor combat mode red

I can't find that post but I think it may have been on this channel.

Earlier this month (?) there was someone who was complaining that the inputs from the joystick were smaller than the inputs from the keyboard (when flying the helicopter).

He posted screenshots of his control stick position when both using the joystick and the keyboard.

I'd be interested in finding that post because I've had the same issue lately and I think I'm onto something here.

#

Anyway, I own a T Flight Hotas X and some time ago, around two weeks ago, I "lost" all my controls that I have set up. (may have been related to me switching profiles but I'm not sure).

Instead of all my "T.Flight Hotas X Stick ABC" controls, I now had "Stick ABC", all greyed out: https://imgur.com/a/Mt0kBBd

So what I did was to simply re-add everything back, like this: https://imgur.com/a/24ONPNw

And I only noticed it yesterday that everything was kind of very sluggish. The controls seemed to be "halved".
After tinkering with the controls, I eventually removed the grayed out "Stick ABC" controls and... everything went back to normal! 😱

#

Could it be that the game was averaging the inputs from "both" controllers, but one of them was always outputting "0" (even though it didn't actually even exist), which resulted in the value being halved?
