#

but that doesn't matter

#

how to change the group icon is still mystery πŸ˜‰

restive bone
#

As I said the icons adhere to the normal nato standard, no?

#

with the different shapes etc

dreamy bane
restive bone
#

Yeah, thats kinda how the icons work?

#

combination of color and shape

dreamy bane
restive bone
#

group type?

dreamy bane
#

first row shows different types

restive bone
#

Yes?

dreamy bane
#

change to that?

#

the group icon I mean

sinful kettle
#

Zeus doesn't read those icons (for whatever reason). There's no way to change them.

dreamy bane
#

doesn't sound hard to implement...

restive bone
#

Sorry I had to take a bit to recover heh

sinful kettle
#

It's not really a matter of how hard it is, but if it's worth implementing.
I guess one reason it's not implemented is because you have to go through all groups to update their icons.

dreamy bane
restive bone
#

I guess it'd be nifty to be able to change that, but imo there's more important commands the devs could be working on

dreamy bane
sinful kettle

So it's pointless.
Plus the extra clutter is annoying

dreamy bane
#

hmmmmm

sinful kettle
#

Anyway, this is not a discussion board. Let's wait for the devs to comment on that.

dreamy bane

am I the only one who loves to see if group is armor group or infantry? πŸ™‚

I just got this:

#

@glad ocean is batteling a similar issue atm

#

at least it looks similar

glad ocean
#

No, it's a different problem I have

ornate marlin
#

it's just the initial path, or parts of it, and the display of the error is too similar

daring wagon

Can anyone else confirm that this will not select the correct page as stated on the biki? Am I using it incorrectly?

With one it works fine since it's auto selected.

player createDiaryRecord ["Diary", ["Test1", "Test One"], taskNull, "", true];
player createDiaryRecord ["Diary", ["Test2", "Test Two"], taskNull, "", true];
player createDiaryRecord ["Diary", ["Test3", "Test Three"], taskNull, "", true];

For me it selects the last one which is Test3.

any comment on this from the devs?

sinful kettle
#

or is that quality? notlikemeow

#

Is there a PIP resolution?

untold sky
#

I mean did you change it when you got that

sinful kettle
#

No

solid marten
#

feel free to explain this on BIKI. I was gonna make allDiaryRecords subject to complement allDiarySubjects but got carried away with other stuff

daring wagon
daring wagon
#

If any dev has a minute to spare. Could you check if configFile >> "ctrlMenuStrip" >> "pictureRadioEnabled" has any use or is just a leftover?

solid marten
#

doesnt seem to do anything

daring wagon
#

okay. Thanks πŸ™‚

daring wagon
daring wagon
#

Trigger interval attribute is missing tooltip and displayName, is that intended?

#

configFile >> "Cfg3DEN" >> "Trigger" >> "AttributeCategories" >> "Expression" >> "Attributes" >> "TriggerInterval" >> "displayName"
configFile >> "Cfg3DEN" >> "Trigger" >> "AttributeCategories" >> "Expression" >> "Attributes" >> "TriggerInterval" >> "tooltip"

β€’ Tweaked: ComboBox controls now respect the disabled property of items and prevents them from being selected

untold sky
#

Is there a command to disable a single entry in a combobox?
Don't think so

daring wagon
#

Would that be possible to add?

solid marten
daring wagon
#

Not only localisation but text in general

solid marten
#

class TriggerInterval
{
data = "triggerInterval";
control = "Edit";
validate = "number";
displayName = "Missing string 'STR_3DEN_Trigger_Attribute_TriggerInterval_displayName'";
tooltip = "Missing string 'STR_3DEN_Trigger_Attribute_TriggerInterval_tooltip'";
wikiType = "[[Number]]";
};

daring wagon
#

huh

#

Anyway, I'll check again when localisation is set πŸ™‚

untold sky
#

The "Missing string" is a internal thing.
Public build might just get empty string

daring wagon
#

Okay

solid marten
daring wagon
#

It sets the height of each entry similar to ~~lineHeight ~~ row height in a listbox. I'd recon the icon to the left should have the same horizontal position as the text when the height is adjusted.

solid marten
#

well it is not what is says in code and also doesnt look like it should touch height at all

daring wagon
solid marten
#

the image is centered vertically the text is not is what it looks like

daring wagon
#

oh right. Totally missed that meowfacepalm

solid marten
#

thats why I dont want to look into it, it is confusing to me

daring wagon
#

Okay. I've just discovered it while updating the biki and though it might be fixable.

#

Gonna leave a note on the biki page for now

daring wagon
# 
"d" trim ["""", 0]; //Returns ""
"""d""" trim ["""", 0]; //Returns "d" as expected
"d" trim [" ", 0]; //Returns ""
" d " trim [" ", 0]; //Returns "d"

Is that intended?

#

It works as expected if the string count is >= 2 e.g "dd", """dd""", " dd "

gray wharf
#

1 & 3 are wrong

untold sky
#

seems to be a off by one. I shall look later

daring wagon
#

I wasn't sure because that trim command has been out for a while πŸ˜„

untold sky
#

Didn't I add that just last version?

daring wagon
#

2.02

#

yeh right.

#

I thought we are on 2.06 already for some reason meowfacepalm

daring wagon
#

Was something changed in regards to CT_EDIT controls in latest dev?

107410_20210618144212_1.png
#

I've never seen that before. (Text expanding outside of the control)

untold sky
#

I don't think so, you sure it's not a thing on current stable too?

daring wagon
#

Okay, downloaded stable. It happens there too. Wondering why I've never noticed that before.

#

Worth a ticket?

untold sky
#

yes

daring wagon
restive bone
#

btw is there any chance of the FT categories being cleaned up at some point?

#

it feels a lot like they started out with a well thought out set of categories, and then people kept slapping new categories on throughout development

#

for example, the 5 or so categories for different UI elements

#

and the whole list just isnt very user friendly anymore imo

daring wagon
#

The old Editor category could be removed

#

Question is, what will happen to tickets of then removed categories. Will be still be able to query them correctly?

restive bone
#

Hm yeah not sure how the Ft would handle that

Hi, you might wrongly commit csla content to stable branch of Arma 3 Server.

#

I updated my server on stable branch, but csla as well as gm and vn was downloaded.

daring wagon
#

Is there a way to change the names a bit? They are all cut off. Also where is CSLA?

unknown.png
#

I'd omit the "New" and change Creator DLC to CDLC

restive bone
#

and while you're at it you can also remove the project argo link

daring wagon
#

Also, not sure if that's possible but add some dividers between A3 and Dayz and Others

restive bone
#

and try to find out what the moderator form is ConfusedDog

daring wagon
#

Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

ornate marlin
#

If permission is given tho, users can create their own dashboard and selected tickets fast access

restive bone
#

but I doubt the majority of people make enough tickets to warrant doing that

ornate marlin
#

Cool

restive bone
restive bone
#

Oh btw should we close tickets in CDLC projects too if the authors ask for them to be closed (etc.), or should we leave that all up to the CDLC devs?

untold sky
#

I think moderator form is just a blank form with all fields available.
I reordered the menu now and added the dividers

Because it had been sitting in feedback since november 22. 2020

solid marten
#

and?

#

this is not even too old

restive bone
# solid marten and?

There were multiple updates between nov 22 and now, so I assumed that it was included in one of those

#

And if there hasnt been any feedback about the change since the last update (assuming that its included in one), I doubt there'd be much feedback in the future

gray wharf

close crashes opened before 2020, nothing else? :3

enableEnvironment false mutes rain and wind sounds but not thunder. Worth a ticket?

solid marten
daring wagon
#

Nope

ornate marlin
solid marten
# daring wagon Nope

make a ticket, the least I can do is skip the sound when enableenvironment is off

daring wagon
solid marten
#

thanks. ok so that you know. enableenvironment will not mute the thunder that is started already it will only stop one from starting (probably good to have it on wiki), fadeenvironment will control its volume at any time together with the rest of the other env sounds

daring wagon
#

Okay thanks. Gonna drop a note on the biki once it's on stable

#

Is there a list of environment sounds these commands handle? Wind, waves, rain, thunder...?

solid marten

you have to check this manually im afraid

Did someone clean up the "Feedback" status tickets on the tracker? Somehow my query doesn't return any πŸ€”

#

No there are definitely tasks in Feedback, the query is just being stoop

#

I created a new "Arma sort by new" query, with the exact same parameters as my old one.
Old one several 100size pages of results.
new one... 21 results.
Exact same settings.. wuht

daring wagon
#

I got the same issue with some of my queuries.

#

I tried to update the ones that don't work, but that didn't work. Creating a new query solved the issue.

I'd like to forward this issue. It's related to Eden editor and how it handles rotation https://feedback.bistudio.com/T159275. It's super annoying and even frustrating to always remember to work around this bug. Maybe dedmen wanna look at it since he also fixed the translation widget? πŸ™‚

the distance the lightsource itself shines is some other parameter

Not sure how simple

#

I'll look at it

turbid terrace

#

What does happen? I don't think I get your idea

turbid terrace
#

look at the reflection of the moon and sun on the sea.

untold sky
#

I'd say no

#

lighting changes are a no

turbid terrace
#

ye, thought so, it's a probably a fixed value.

#

it's ok, thanks.

#

that's custom light btw, doesn't happen in Arma because that change happens at night and it ain't as noticeable it's properly config'd. Disregard my request, please.

sinful kettle
#

so I had a question about the lineIntersectsSurfaces command.
I'm not entirely sure how the command works, but I'm assuming it shouldn't slow down when you give it a longer "line", if the intersection is to happen at the same distance?
for example:

lineIntersectsSurfaces [[0,0,0], [0,2,0]];

vs

lineIntersectsSurfaces [[0,0,0], [0,100,0]];

now let's say there was a collision at [0,1,0]. shouldn't it perform the same? (which it doesn't)
(I'm assuming it uses a grid traversal algorithm to detect which objects it should check?)

#

can someone take a look at the algorithm plz?

#

also, I noticed another bug with the command. When the object is too far from the origin of the terrain [0,0,0], some intersections are not returned (I'm assuming it's related to floating point accuracy?)

solid marten
#

make a ticket, make a repro then maybe someone gonna look at it, maybe

sinful kettle
#

I'll make a ticket for the other issue

solid marten
#

I cant give you an answer all you've given me is vague data..too far, waht does it mean? 1 km, 100km, 100000000000000000000km? make a repro

sinful kettle
#

but I'll make a repro

solid marten
#

Hardcoded max distance: 5000m. does this answer your question?

sinful kettle
#

isn't that for line length?

solid marten
#

make a repro

sinful kettle
#

the line that I checked was ~10 m
for an object whose coordinates are [<1e4, <1e4, < 10]

ok

solid marten
daring wagon
#

Okay, gonna make one

solid marten
#

enableMenu is going to have optional enable bool

daring wagon
#

yeah, makes sense since menuSetCheck has bool as well

solid marten
#

enableMenu [idc, path, (enable = true)]
ctrl enableMenu [path, (enable = true)]
ctrl enableMenu path - will be special case and left for backward compatibility

#

@daring wagon plz tag me when ready

#

Is there a reason format still has that 8kb limit in Arma 3 whereas other methods of joining strings don't?

untold sky
#

format preallocates the buffer and then writes into it

#

the other commands don't.
That makes format faster, but also the bigger the buffer the more memory use

daring wagon
#

How big would the memory usage be for an 8kb string?

sinful kettle
#

8 kb?! meowsweats

untold sky
daring wagon
#

That doesn't sound a lot

#

That's why I asked that apparently stupid question πŸ˜„

solid marten
#

@daring wagon thanks. 8kb is a lot you can use joinString when you approach those limits

daring wagon
#

Yeah I am doing that. Was just curious!

daring wagon
#

Question about merging duplicates: Should we always merge duplicates into the oldest ticket or the ticket which seems to have the best information such as repros?

untold sky

Thanks KK. That biki button is very nice

#

Oh no, menuEnable didn't make it 😦

solid marten
#

no and script commands utility needs another tweak

daring wagon
#

May I make a two small suggestions?

#

Some command descriptions have format tags like <f> </f> <ar> </ar>

#

regexReplace would make quick work of that and remove it from the tooltips

#

And another thing.

#

Some commands have a really long description and the tooltip even exceeds the monitor width

#

So I guess tooltipMaxWidth or what it's called needs to be lowered

solid marten
#

what will happen then? the text will be cut or wrapped?

daring wagon
#

It should be wrapped IIRC

#

I can test in a second

solid marten
#

ok

daring wagon
#

It gets wrapped

#

and I think you are using RscTree as base class and tooltipmaxwidth is not defined for that one

#

Width RscTree, no width defined. It still gets wrapped where the screen ends.

107410_20210624131332_1.png
#

So I wonder why the tooltips in the utility are all one line and get cut off

#

Nevermind @solid marten Works fine in the utilities.

#

I think I just read a weird description which looked like it was cut off =/

#

Still however, using tooltipMaxWidth = 0.5; seems to be a nicer value since the text stays more to the center and gets wrapped

solid marten
#

i’ll have a look

I'm thinking this is wrong. But what do you think

restive bone

"Whoops blobnervous"

#

But yeah I think expected behaviour for me would be to have it spin the same as if I was rotating a newly spawned object, so still left/right etc

#

and not having the rotation direction change with the movement of the unit

#

but I dont know if thats feasible

solid marten

#

would you be interested in fixing it?

desert trench
sinful kettle
#

I guess it's because the collision model only has a geom LOD?

anyway, now that you know why, you might be able to fix it more easily (either you or KK)

I can make a ticket if you want. If anyone's up for it ping me

I had an idea how to solve that, don't remember why I never did it, probably forgot

#

problem with that is the nesting.
box can contain backpack which can contain backpack,...

daring wagon
#

hmm

#

Do we really need to support "unlimited" nesting?

solid marten
#

there is no unlimited nesting you can go up to certain level in inventory after which you start losing content

daring wagon
#

That's what I put it in quotes

#

Dunno how many layers one can go down

solid marten
#

you can put backpack in backpack but second backpack wont save content even though it will keep track of the content

daring wagon
#

ah okay

solid marten
#

or something like that, i dont remember exactly i know that while you have it on you it keeps content but once you try to save it its gone up to a level

daring wagon
daring wagon
#

Since ctrlSetAngle has two parameters to define the center, is similar possible for control ctrlSetScale scale

you can scale and move control, it can be done with script, unless you want different scale by x,y

is there a good reason that the radioChannelCreate limit is so small?
can it be extended (possibly with a scripting command)? if so I can make a ticket

daring wagon
daring wagon
#

@solid marten If you work on the utilities. Would it be possible that the Print Config util. would save the last entered path and apply it when reopened?

solid marten
#

per mission duration, per PC running duration or per profile?

I guess uiNamespace lifetime would be enough.

Cool, thanks πŸ™‚

daring wagon
#

I got a feature request, not sure if doable or how much work it would be: Could the script error window get a timestamp which updates every time the window is updated? Sometimes it's hard to tell if an error is still happening or if it's an old one which is just still shown.

sinful kettle
#

yes plz!

solid marten
#

@daring wagon ticket plz

daring wagon
#

Changing the position of it is probably out of scope right? It's like always in the way of what I am doing πŸ˜„

sinful kettle
#

meowthis this too!

#

if you use the debug console it's always a pain to type when you get an error meowsweats

solid marten
#

dunno, isn't it shown in 0,0?

I think so yeah.
but it's in the way. especially in the diag exe which is always spamming this error meowsweats

it's "almost" in the same position! πŸ˜„

solid marten
#

what If I move it and it gets on the way of someone elses tool?

daring wagon
#

Since it's drawn from top left of the window I'd prefer safezoneX safezoneY instead of 0, 0

daring wagon
sinful kettle
#

but anyway, isn't it possible to fix that error?

solid marten
#

what error

sinful kettle
#

the setpos 0,0,0 thing

#

in diag exe

solid marten
#

huh? how did change topic?

daring wagon
#

Sneaky leo πŸ˜„

sinful kettle
#

I just wanted to know if someone is interested in fixing it! πŸ˜„
since I use the diag exe a lot, and that error is a bit annoying

if nothing else, it blocks a portion of the screen at all times

daring wagon
#

Three things that would improve that error message window for me:

  1. Being able to change the position, via config, script command or what ever
  2. Being able to change the opacity of the window
  3. The timestamp mentioned earlier

I'd personally put it into safezoneX, safezoneY and make its alpha value 0

@solid marten Here is the repro. First execute it as is and see the time, should take around 0.05. Then, remove the line where it adds the value and execute again, time for me was around 0.8 to 1 second

#

Now I just need to find out why it took 85 seconds in my first test. Perhaps because the listbox was quite a bit more complex

#

Let me know if I should further investigate

# 
[_ctrlListNBox, 0] lnbSortBy ["TEXT", false, false]; // 0.78s
_ctrlListNBox lnbSort [0, false]; // 0.09s
[_ctrlListNBox, 0] lnbSortBy ["VALUE", false, false]; // 0.05s
[_ctrlListNBox, 0] lnbSortBy ["VALUE", false, false]; // Without value , 0.8 - 1s

Additionally, lnbSortBy doesn't throw a wrong enum value

@daring wagon When sorting by "VALUE", the rows with the same lnbValue will additionally be sorted by lnbText in the order specified by the reversedOrder flag, text specified by `useTextRight` flag and case-sensitivity specified by `caseSensitive` flag. if you dont set value or set it to the same value you get additional sorting by text ON EVERY ROW, totally expected and not a bug

#

Solution - dont sort by value when there is nothing to sort or use lnbSortByValue if you like pain

solid marten
#

@daring wagon As for the speed, also expected because it is UNICODE so it converts every entry, I will add option to do ANSI sorting

gray wharf
solid marten
#

dont need to force it it is already unicode, we reserve that for ANSI commands. extra bool in params is fine

#

Of course UNICODE sorting could be speeded up by making listnbox text item UNICODE from the start, but, it is very specific improvement which only makes sense if there like alot of unicode sorting needed on long lists

@untold sky I see you Added "Volumetric light cones (similar as on vehicles) to flashlights" Thank you! Also, did you manage to make them daylights? (Work and cast flares during the day too)

untold sky
#

I didn't, that was reyhard.
Don't think daylight makes much sense for them

sleek scaffold
#

Please remember that lights are tools that map makers and mission makers use to get their player's attention to one particular place (Yes, even during the day). So even thou the nature of Arma is sandbox you can "lead them" in the right direction with lights and other assets... Contact does this "trick" to perfection but in order for it to work the devs had to turn Contact's Nights basically into Day due to the moons incredible brightness that made everything a lot more visible than regular Arma 3 nights

#

@untold sky Are you worried that adding that would require many extra hours of dev work or just because you really still don't see a use case scenario for such feature?

#

☝️ Notice how dark the interior of the cave (Just big rocks placed to make it look like a cave) compared to the top of the cave where some sun light enters. If I close the roof the interior of the cave is barely visible during the day. If I skip a few hours for night time then the lights make that cave a lot more illuminated and more navigable than during the day.

devout wave
sleek scaffold
# devout wave As a missionmaker you _can_ make your placed lights work in daytime using <https...

You are wrong. The current Daytime lights (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setLightDayLight) do not emit real light (flares), they are just bright spots that do not illuminate their surroundings (like a real flashlight should) so because of that there are no scripts or mods right now that can replicate a flashlight during the day in Arma 3... and because of that there is currently no way to do the things I described. What we do have is the recent addition made by Dedmen that enables Day Lights to emit flares (illuminate their surroundings) (Even during the day) but that recent addition is not even on the Stable Branch yet (I believe)

#

Now the big question is: Why go though all the length of enabling day flares but not add that new functionality to the flashlights? Is it because it would require an extra 8 hours of work by the dev or will it take 20 minutes? I just don't see what is the problem now that the tech is implemented into the game? Perhaps a dev could be more specific about the challenges of doing so for the flashlights?

#

Yes, scripted and modded solutions will arise as soon as the new daylight flares arrives on the stable branch but why rely on those when doing it with C++ will always be faster than scripting/modding? On a game that desperately needs more FPS the less we rely on SQF and the more we rely on C++ the better.

sleek scaffold
#

Now, justifying the request again (Even thou Dedmen already said yes before but now changed his mind for some reason). Images speak better than words sometimes:

#

Noticed how during daytime there are places that are less illuminated than even at night?

#

How can we expect our players to navigate these indoor environments if they can't see s*** during daytime because their flashlights are so sophisticated that only work when they detect it is nightime and won't work at all during daytime? Additionally doesn't Arma aims at simulating real life scenarios? I have used flashlights during day time a million times when looking for things under my bed and in Arma 3 there are conditions where some indoor locations become too dark and desperately require a flashlight too! And the tools (Daytime flares) are now there for us to use (implemented in the game) yet we leave that final step of finishing the product and make it accessible to all players behind the decision and will of modders and scripters just for them to use? But what about the rest of the players who can't script or won't ever find the right mod on the workshop due to it being buried under one million other mods, perhaps half of them deprecated and not compatible with the latest version of arma anyway? Then you have the other issue when searching for a particular mod lets say a "Day Flashlight" mod, you will find several mods that claim they add that functionality yet how many of those are really bad coded/scripted and will just cause more harm than good to the mission. That is what you are suggesting really @devout wave when perhaps 99% of the work for this feature is already in the game?

if you guys want to know a very useful application of the "improved" version of the command, it's this:

sleek scaffold
# desert trench is it a known problem that dynamicSimulation seems to tigger on dead units even ...

That could explain why my players sometimes cannot take inventory items from dead bodies. I had a funny bug last night, I was the host of the mission and I tried to pick items from a dead body (Recently killed by me). I opened the inventory screen via the action on the body and took only his main weapon, it worked fine but then I couldn't take the rest of its items like the GPS, grenades etc. Then I closed the inventory and tried to open it again but it bugged out, the inventory UI would appear for a second and then close itself again like a glitch. Funny and sad that these inventory issues are so prevalent up to this point.

if you guys are free right now, maybe I could interest you in some scripting commands that are at the top of my wishlist (and many others, I'm sure):

  1. a command for setting weapon/aim direction (units and vehicles). maybe with an additional "commit" command if it's not possible in one frame. (similar to controls/cameras)
  2. a command for settings a unit's eye/head direction (similar to above)
  3. a command that returns what bone/selection is animated with an animation (which links selectionNames and animationNames), and maybe even provides more info about vehicle animations for scripting (as they are only accessible in cfgModels)
  4. a command that returns a weapon's muzzle position (and maybe other weapon selections)
  5. getters for gestures, similar to anims (e.g. gestureTime, gestureState)
  6. Maybe gesture event handlers as well?
  7. Making a few event handlers possible for cfgAmmo class (e.g. deleted or killed, to know when a projectile explodes/hits the target)
  8. diag_getTerrainGrid for stable build (which is completely safe as it's a getter, so I don't see why it's diag-specific)

there are tickets for all of them on the FT btw.

sadly there are no alternatives/work-around for any of them, so adding them would be very appreciated.

well you can already script bullets/ammo to hit anyone - or if you overcome BE/sig check, all hands are off anyway

If you don't want it to become an aimbot, maybe you could implement a limited version
like for AI only, if it hasn't been a player for 1 second (so that switching is not a workaround either)

I personally want it for two things:

  1. My AI mod
  2. Scripting AI firing in single player scenarios, e.g. an AAA tracking and firing at air targets
daring wagon

Make it sp only

sinful kettle
#

I'm making an AI mod notlikemeow
I want it to work in MP too

A timer system can work pretty well imo, as in adding a new variable to units class, float last_player_time{ -1.f };

if (unit.is_player || glob_time - unit.last_player_time < 1.f) return;
#

last_player_time can track the last time it was controlled by a player (selectPlayer and remoteControl)

Isnt't there a way to make it only work in mp if it's whitelisted? Wasn't there such a config?

sinful kettle
# solid marten doesn’t mean we should add another way

Yes, I perfectly understand, which is why I said limiting it is also an option.

but even if you don't it won't be that bad if you think about it.
You can create bullets/objects and give them velocity, you can use FiredMan event handler to the same thing
You can use setVelocity and slam the target into the ground or send it into space
Or you can just do the simplest and most effective way of all: setDamage
All of them are far more effective to kill a target than an aimbot

@daring wagon there is a special check, if the history contains only a single operation, it ignores the custom text and stuff and ignores the multi-operation thing and only shows the single operation.
So by code above, only shows "CreateLogic".

So if you want that to work, you'd need to do more than a single operation... Or I need to add special code for that

Well I added extra code for that think_turtle

ooh k

Don't know how old that is, its definitely on profiling branch (which everyone should be using πŸ‘€)

im on the default release, whatever that is

Default release?

dreamy bane

stable

fickle root

It's called STABLE.
No wonder it doesn't work for you

use the profiling branch

it's more up to date, and is compatible with the stable

dreamy bane

is prof branch not the same as dev build?

no

ok well maybe I give it a go. ty

its steam activated?

you get it from steam

dreamy bane

can you have both or is it going to overwrite my current release?

overwrites it but it's safe

it only downloads < 100 MB

and as I said it's fully compatible with stable

can you "rclick on Arma" in SteamCMD?! meowsweats

no

you just need steam

I was just asking because the link you gave talks about steamCMD

#

well its installed now πŸ™‚

#

ah the trace is only in .rpt file?

#

I dont get function names there but trace of file and line which is nice

untold sky
#

If you compile functions with CfgFunctions, the names should be there (CfgFunctions adds a header to each function which sets the name)

dreamy bane
dreamy bane
#

is there no way to save "call someFn" in the trace somehow?

untold sky
#

not viable.
Use proper CfgFunctions like you're supposed to

dreamy bane
#

is it technically impossible to save the variable name passed to call?

untold sky
#

no

gray wharf
#

you can maybe write it down manually with scope name or directly (awful) diag_log

dreamy bane
#

sounds like opportunity for a good feature, to me

dreamy bane
gray wharf
#

hence the proper use of CfgFunctions was, is and ever will be recommended πŸ™‚

dreamy bane
#

I just dont understand why its the "proper" way. no other programming language demands you to list your functions...

gray wharf
#

because SQF is not any language, and is not OOP

#

think that you provide "hey, run this code" things to the engine
the engine is fine with that, no problem

now consider that by not declaring them as CfgFunctions, this code can be maliciously edited by someone (as SQF is not compiled)
do you start seeing the issue πŸ˜‰

dreamy bane
#

yes in MP that can be problem

#

so this is security issue foremost

#

but from what I understand people who know how to hack can run any code irregardless of the protection

uncut briar
#

Why do you need CfgFunctions for proper traces? Can't you add the required header to your functions manually?

gray wharf
#

hundreds of functions
seems to be the issue

dreamy bane
#

cfgfunctions is not 'properly', it's 'recommended'.

gray wharf

for a reason! πŸ˜„ multiple, actually

#

(logging but also network safety, perfs, etc)

untold sky
#

CfgFunctions is just a scripted system, you can build the same system yourself and be fine, if you do it properly

dreamy bane
#

im kind of confused here, how does cfgFuctions help if hackers use other means to run their code?

gray wharf
#

it compileFinal the code and makes it unable to be overridden (useful for network-called functions)

#

so yeah as Dedmen says you can reinvent the wheel, but…

dreamy bane
gray wharf
#

it prevents that kind of hacking

dreamy bane

yeah :/

regarding attachTo's followBoneRotation parameter; it seems to not be precise on e.g AIs (for example attaching object to head); is it due to using pos and not something like visiblePosition? or simulation cycles that do not refresh as much as the player unit?

#

The definition of what counts as a "function" that you would want to return from

#

while {} do {
isNil {
call {
if () then {
return; //return to where?
}
}
}
}

dreamy bane
#

I understand that is a problem. thought you might know a solution πŸ™‚

sinful kettle
dreamy bane
#

lol

sinful kettle
#

if you think about it, call in Arma is (almost) the same as function/lambda call in C++, and you do have returns for those

dreamy bane
#

true

sinful kettle
#

but still it may result in incorrect code

#

so I think it's better that it's not implemented

#

(for example what if someone writes a function expecting it to be called, and someone calls it with isNil my_fnc?)

untold sky
#

My_Func = {if (isServer) then {return false;}}

_myStuff = isNull player || My_Func

sinful kettle
#

yes that

dreamy bane
#

what if return exits the last called scope only?

sinful kettle
#

same as what dedmen and I said

untold sky
#

Same as what i posted, still wrong

dreamy bane
#

ok

untold sky
#

you want to know the name of your func, and whatever last thing that executed your func by your name.
That would work in most cases, but then still

_stuff =My_func
call _stuff

dreamy bane
#

unless you get the function by pointer or some kind of ID

untold sky
#

or

{call _x} forEach myhandlers;

dreamy bane
#

I suppose code blocks arent referred with a pointer?

untold sky
#

they are

#

I guess

dreamy bane
#

well maybe you can work with those, just a thought

untold sky
#

nope

sinful kettle
#

if you want to return just use breakOut

#

Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

untold sky
#

you can just use breakTo

dreamy bane
#

yeah I know πŸ™‚

sinful kettle
dreamy bane
#

well im out of ideas, if last call cant be saved and returned from then im outta ideas πŸ™‚

untold sky
#

Same, which is why we don't have return

dreamy bane
#

if each call would give it's scope a name automatically like scopename cmd and return would know that name it could work?

untold sky
#

probably, but so does breakTo/breakOut

dreamy bane
#

sure

#

I'm still hoping of called function names to appear in the call stack 😁

untold sky
#

use CfgFunctions or scopeName command or whatever the method is to give functions names, and they will

dreamy bane
#

i know πŸ™‚

#

but all that trouble.....

Hi, I found a bug in Arma 3 with the VTOLs - the V-44x Blackfish and Y-32 Xi'an. This has existed for a while and I was surprised it wasn't noticed or fixed before.
When a player enters the pilot seat of any of the VTOLs, the throttle will automatically be raised to 100% when the engine is turned on because the wheels of the VTOL are touching the ground. However, when a player group leader enters the pilot seat and turns on the engine, the throttle does not go straight to 100% but will stay at 0 until the player decides to increase it. Players who are in a group that are not the group leader and enter the VTOLs and turn on the engine will see the throttle go right to 100%, while group leaders who enter and turn the engine on don't have that issue.
I cannot find the codes/scripts that are involved in this part of the VTOLs, but I, along with many other friends and people I've played on public zeus servers with, have experienced this to be the case, that the throttling issue of the VTOLs comes down to the player's group position as group leader or subordinate.

If there was already a ticket for this, sorry for repeating it, I couldn't find any related to this issue.

my test setup

unknown.png
dreamy bane
#

One way to return a value from function I have sometimes used is this: ```sqf

retFn =
{
scopename "retTest";

for "_i" from 0 to 5 do
{

if(_i == 3) then
{
_i
breakout "retTest";
};

};

-1
};

call retFn;

#

it's ugly but it works (returns 3)

#

I wonder how good solution that is?

#

sorry should have posted this in scripting instead

sinful kettle
dreamy bane
#

I was just thinking if anyone else uses same solution like what I posted

sinful kettle
#

that's literally what dedmen and I said

dreamy bane
sinful kettle
#

for the record, breakOut has two variants. unary and binary. unary doesn't return anything. binary returns something

# 
breakOut "scope"; //unary
returnValue breakOut "scope"; //binary
dreamy bane
#

aah didnt know that. thx πŸ™‚

sinful kettle
dreamy bane
#

I thought what I did was hacky.. should have looked at the wiki

#

_i breakout "retTest"; <--- not ugly anymore πŸ˜„

sinful kettle
#

whitespace (space, tab, line break) has no meaning in sqf

player
      setPosASL
                [0, 0, 0];

so

_i
breakout "retTest";
```==```sqf
_i breakout "retTest";

I currently have a problem and I was wondering if it could be fixed
the direction of the pond objects on the terrain are not actually set at pre-init, so you can't really tell if a surface is water, unless the pond object direction was [0,1,0]
not sure if it's fixable or worth fixing. but thought I'd mention it

#

the pond objects have other problems too. when you delete some of them, the "water" is not deleted and you still end up floating in the air...(probably because of terrain caching?)

no it was a single part object...

is this a known bug?

#

basically, what happens is this:
when you respawn, the variable BIS_fnc_setUnitInsignia_class is transferred from the corpse to the unit

#

and BIS_fnc_setUnitInsignia is preventing insignia change: if (_unit call BIS_fnc_getUnitInsignia != _class) then

#

Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

naive ledge
#

Maybe it's transfered through some event handler?

sinful kettle
#

Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

#

afaik the game does transfer the variables from corpses to new body automatically

naive ledge
#

are other variables transfered to?

sinful kettle
#

idk. Dedmen knows. (maybe?)

sinful kettle
#

btw Ded, if you do decide to implement a new multithreaded lineIntersectsSurfaces, I would like to make some suggestions for that commands:

  1. can you investigate to see if the "ROADWAY" lod is possible for implementation?
  2. it would be great if the syntax was more "advanced" than lineIntersectsSurfaces. for instance:
linesIntersectSurfaces [
  [//array of point pairs for lines
    [p1, p2],
    [p3, p4],
    ...
  ],
  [],      //array of objects
  [],      //array of types (e.g. "MAN", "B_soldier_F", etc.)
  true,    //intersect mode: true: only intersection with above types/objects; false: ignore those types/objects; default is false
  true,    //sort mode; default is true
  1,       //number of intersections per line; default is 1
  ["GEOM"],//array of LODs; if not possible, two lods like lineIntersectsSurfaces; default is ["VIEW", "FIRE"];
  false    //unique only (?) not sure if possible due to being multithreaded (or maybe unique only per line, but not total?); default is true
]
#

returns: intersection from each line pair, where each array is like lineIntersectsSurfaces (so return type is: vector<vector<IntersectSurfaces>>)

untold sky
#

I was thinking between point pairs and defining grids.
intersect between this and that grid, with radius/precision on each point on the provided rect.
Or rect->point similarly.
That would be easier to setup than point->point. But can ofc provide multiple variants

sinful kettle
untold sky
#

ye

sinful kettle
#

yeah that's also great

untold sky
#

Often you want to do intersects along a line or between rectangles, IF you want to do many at once

sinful kettle

yeah actually I was gonna ask that but not sure how to return the intersection points πŸ€”
