not sure if it was that one

Hey, just found out a bug/feature that CfgAISkill >> aimingSpeed[] changes the speed of turrets movement on a player.
For example:
class CfgAISkill { aimingSpeed[] = {0,0,1,0.1}; };
Turrets turn very slowly and aimingSpeed[] = {0,0,1,0}; completely halts the turrets and locks the camera too after moving once or twice. Static weapons and turrets on vehicles.
Don't know if it's intended but I think it's unknown.

limpid rune
#

how are you testing it? if you're using remote control from zeus the AI subskills will apply to the unit still

turbid terrace
#

Sitting fresh on a static weapon, just my addon for changing skill.

limpid rune
#

does it do it if you use keyboard controls for the turret turning, believe its arrow keys by default

#

reason i ask is that the keyboard controls have always been faster to me so wonder if it might just be mouse thats affected

turbid terrace
#

Tested, both get slower.

devout wave
#

Does only the config value have this effect, or can it be caused (or un-caused) by setSkill?

it seems displayAddEventHandler remains persistent if you use the restart button (at least while in Eden)

#

another strange problem

# 
Tried to create group while group limit is reached on side Game Logic
βž₯ Context:     [] L31 (A3\functions_f\Modules\fn_initModules.sqf)
    [] L19 (A3\functions_f\Modules\fn_initModules.sqf)

217                         init = /*%FSM<STATEINIT""">*/"_modulesActivate spawn bis_fnc_initmodules;" \n```
these are the only two instances i can find the function called
#

initFunction.sqf calls it only when

//--- Mission only
if (_recompile in [3,5]) then {```
as the problem happens mid mission, no idea if recompile can happen at that point
#

initModules has this:

//--- Create groups for module categories
_sideLogic = sidelogic call bis_fnc_sideID;
{
    _category = configname _x;
    _side = getnumber (_x >> "side");
    if (_side == _sideLogic) then {
        _groupVar = "bis_fnc_initModules_" + _category;
        _group = grpnull;
        if (isserver) then {
            _group = creategroup sidelogic;
            missionnamespace setvariable [_groupVar,_group];
            publicvariable _groupVar;
        } else {
            _group = missionnamespace getvariable [_groupVar,grpnull]
        };
        _group setgroupid [gettext (configfile >> "cfgfactionclasses" >> _category >> "displayname")];
    };
} foreach ((configfile >> "cfgfactionclasses") call bis_fnc_returnchildren);```
so each call should create new logics for all cfgfactionclasses with sideLogic - no reuse or caching
this looks like a design problem/weakness

# gray wharf otherwise model hacking made easy 101

And also on the ammunition event handling area... I was told a long time ago that the fact that ammunitions (bullets) hitting units on limbs also damage other adjacent parts, for example a chest shot would also damage the head a little bit or the other way arround? was due to a "design decision" so that limb damage can also be eventually deadly?... I was wondering if it would perhaps be a better and more performance friendly method to keep that mechanic only when said "limb" or "first hit" part is 100% damaged and not all the time like it currently is... what do you think about that?

# untold sky "The mission also has a tow system included that lets you disable brakes on vehi...

My system does use setTowParent, and it works without disableBrakes as well. However, practical testing indicates that autobrakes at low speed or when stopped are still active on the towed vehicle, meaning sometimes it can be excessively hard to get moving, and if you're towing at low speed the brakes can sometimes engage. So when disableBrakes arrived, I just added it to my system as a QoL thing since it doesn't have much overhead.

Also because it will be hilarious when people hard brake at 70kph without re-engaging the towed vic's brakes and get sent to space

(1) Weapon-Optic transfer from dead body's suit freeze Inventory

  • start VR
  • create OPFOR Soldier with Katiba (player)
  • create Viper
  • Start Scenario
  • kill Viper and open his Inventory per key "I"
  • take your own ACO and put it in your suit
  • switch your suit by right klick on Viper suit
  • open your old suit (witch is laying on the ground) by double klick
  • try to mount your old ACO by right klick or Drag and Drop on the Slot of your weapon -> doesn't work (and all following Inventory transfers to your soldier. Only close dead soldier inventory and reopen and then drag and drop to your inventory first is working).

#

lol I take it back that script doesn't work

#

it checks if projectile is still alive one frame after it was triggered (btw you can use diag_frameNo instead) but, most projectiles trigger only on next cycle.
And some projectiles just stay alive after getting triggered, like smoke grenades or flares

#

Even with mines it doesn't work. A simple explosive charges does a "beep beep beep.. boom" when triggered

#

that takes like half a second

# 
player addEventHandler ["FiredMan", {
    params ["_unit", "_weapon", "_muzzle", "_mode", "_ammo", "_magazine", "_projectile", "_gunner"];

    if (isNull _projectile) exitWith {};

    systemChat str [_thisEvent, _weapon, _projectile];
    diag_log [_thisEvent, _weapon, _projectile];

    _projectile spawn { 
        sleep 0.2; 
        systemChat "trigger!";
        triggerAmmo _this; 
     } 
}];

My test is more fun, when UGL grenades, RPG rockets and hand grenades and mines just explode infront of your face

inputAction doesn't seem to work with user actions (modded keybinding). it always returns 0
is that a bug?

I tested that

sterile nova

I'm also using it in RHS in many places and so far no one reported that. Are you using some specific key combination?

sinful kettle

well it's Right Ctrl + \ and Left Ctrl + \

#

let me see if it's related to the keys...

nope meowsweats

I test it like this btw:

addUserActionEventHandler ["DBUG_OpenConsole", "Activate", {
    systemChat str inputAction "DBUG_OpenConsole";
}];
#

works for vanilla actions tho thonk

sinful kettle
#

well anyway instead I'm gonna make a feature request: bool = [DIK_CODE, shift, ctrl, alt] canActivateAction "ActionName"

to override actions using display keyDown meowsweats

or even better:

getKeyString [DIK_CODE, shift, ctrl, alt]

then using a hashmap to match it against actionKeys ["action"] for fast key overridingthonk

systemChat str inputAction "ReloadMagazine"; 
}];

shows 0. if you remove the createDialog line or replace it with findDisplay 46 createDisplay "RscDisplayEmpty" it works meowsweats

#

should I make a ticket so you can take a look?

untold sky
#

tickeht

#

yes

#

even more tickets :owoyay:

sinful kettle
#

btw may I suggest an optimization for nearestTerrainObjects?
when radius is large, I think the command has to do many reallocations because it doesn't know beforehand how many objects it'll return right?
so this means the command is too slow for people who want all terrain objects.

if that's the case this simple check will significantly speed up the command for those people, since I think the game already knows how many terrain objects there are and you can just allocate once and return them all:

if (is2D && radius >= worldSize / sqrt(2) && center.x == worldSize/2 && center.y == worldSize/2) {
//return all objects

}

this check can also be made to work with all centers too, as long as the circle encompasses the square (terrain), but that's a bit slower (tho this one is not 100% accurate either since it only considers the upper bound, but it's much faster than the actual equation)

if (is2D && radius >= worldSize / sqrt(2) && distance2d(center, {worldSize/2, worldSize/2}) <= radius - worldSize / sqrt(2)) {
//return all objects

}

what do you think? is my assumption even correct?

High Command is broken on Profiling v3, was working around prior 2.08.
hcAllGroups player report the HC groups of player at start but after clicking HC button or hcShowBar true, it returns empty array and bar never shows up.

untold sky
#

The main problem is more likely that its just single threaded.
Iterating through all objects, doing type checks and sitance checks for each of them, a somewhat badly written check if the mapType matches.. mapType matching even being checked if you didn't provide any and don't even want to check for it..
And the sorting by distance at the end

sinful kettle
gray wharf
#

(you may prefer a (getA|a)llTerrainObjects?)

sinful kettle
#

Well many existing scripts already use this command so they can benefit too... meowsweats
tho I don't really mind as long as it works...
but I think making a few changes to an existing command is easier than implemeting a new one too

gray wharf
#

oh no, legacy code support πŸ˜–

untold sky
gray wharf
#

I believe a TerrainObject in that case is something baked with the terrain, so always within the world's boundaries and non-spawnable?

#

it should be a quite "static" array ("static" not in dev term hey πŸ˜›)

untold sky
#

Is there really a common use case where you want ALL terrain objects?

#

And even then not sure if we can preallocate without iterating through the objects twice
I don't know if we have a "number of objects" value

gray wharf
#

(…unless everything is mixed together)

untold sky
#

its not an array its a QuadTree

sinful kettle
sinful kettle

Anyway for now I just wanted to see if it's possible and if the perf improvement is worth it (like a few times faster) πŸ˜…
If you think my use case isn't good enough we'll discuss this again when I'm done with what I'm doing πŸ˜‰

untold sky
#

removing all distance and type checks will make it a few times faster yes

#

but optimizing for such a rare special case?
Might make more sense to use multithreading to optimize all cases

I've "surfed" a little bit through the FT and I am found some tickets that are open but abandoned for years. For my feeling it would be good to have some tidy place (The Mr. Monk in me want get rid of it πŸ˜„ ). So would ask for someone that has the power to close some of tickets especially:

-> For that I would to suggest:
(1) Try to reproduce the bug. If not reprocable, go to point (2)
(2) To write to the subscribers and ask if the bug is still present and ask for new information. If no one answer after a certain time with negative answer (bug is still present).
Then ticket can be closed.

when you click on one stack by right click as long as the stack is transfered to another place, the stack doesn`t stands still in the order of the items in your inventory. It "jumps" through your inventory (change the position). You have to check after every right click if the stack is already under your mouse cursor or not. When not, you transfer a unwanted item.

solid marten
#

huh? never noticed, could you make a video?

I assume it's because it's re-sorting the inventory after each click, but yeah, it's quite annoying.

Highest-weight piles go to the top or something.

not at moment. but the steps to reproduce are really easy

ok gimmie

I think it is related to the order of taking the items

I know it is mybe not a big thing in SP but MP with many loot like "Dynamic Bulwakrs" or "Escape from..." were you change whole suits or backpack and transfer the content back. It kills you.

start VR
create OPFOR Soldier with Katiba (player)
create Ifrit
start scenario and open inventory of ifrit
select your inventory and put random different items in vest (for example many smoke grenades but in random order) to create different stacks of items
then put the stacks back into the ifrit by right clicking on the stacks in your inventory (put back single items)

-> position/sort of items/stacks in your inventory change (pseudo?)random by right clicking

solid marten
#

no can’t repro, slots don’t move, only disappear when you take all items then stacking changes but not the order

#

atomic walrus
#
  • make your vest empty (into ifrit)
solid marten
#

yes

atomic walrus
#
  • take in random order only some grenades to create maybe 4 stacks
#
  • put stacks back one by one per right click into ifrit's inventory as long stack is gone
#

-> position of items change in your vest sporadic

solid marten

Mission makers usually don't want to go though all the trouble of creating and maintaining a mod just so they have have custom and proper marker icons for their missions, and what ends up happening is that they are forced to use military icons to represent things on the map that the players end up being confused about 😦

for both engine and mods.....?
It just reads both, seperately, after eachother

devout wave
#

This might just be because I'm not very smart, but here's what I'm seeing:

  • description.ext cfgmarkers is technically possible, depending on priorities
  • the engine will accept description.ext classes as valid classes
  • mods will still be able to define custom classes as before by modifying the main cfgmarkers
  • mods should be able to accept both ordinary and description.ext cfgmarkers classes as valid
  • this fills the original request for missionmaker-defined custom markers
    ...what's the unsolved problem, other than the amount of dev time required to implement?
lean mica
#

What is the issue with mods? Classnames collisions?

untold sky
#

mods should be able to accept both ordinary and description.ext cfgmarkers classes as valid
Mods need to be adjusted to ALSO look in mission config and also handle correctly when entry exists in both

#

this fills the original request for missionmaker-defined custom markers
Which I already denied a couple times due to the above mentioned issues

lean mica
#

As much as I understand classes defined in description ext can not be appended to main config?

untold sky
#

correct

lean mica
#

So mods will not break. They just will not know about new markers. Maintainers can add additional config lookup without rush

untold sky
#

They will break if they cannot know about new markers

#

They will know about the new type when a marker has been placed down.
Then fail to retrieve that info which is impossible because the game gets the info from same place so it cannot be missing

@limpid rune Moving the conversation here about https://feedback.bistudio.com/T151270
What information would you want/need as params that isn't easily gettable by using commands on the (player) unit? That is for the EH that triggers when the player goes in and out of ADS, meaning switching from CamGunner to CamInternal/External and vice versa.
Currently I pass the unit and a boolean to indicate if the new state is ADS or not.

limpid rune
#

how early does the eventhandler fire by the way? One of the flaws with cameraView is it only switches over when the camera transition is complete

neon swan
# limpid rune probably not necessary but maybe include the current optics mode too, like: [<ob...

Issue with opticsmode is that it will not work if you are in a vehicle (currently), as it will return for the unit and not the vehicle. I am not sure if you meant for it to also work in vehicles, and which kind of information you would expect in that case. But I am at least certain that the opticsMode from weapon attachments is not directly 1:1 for vehicle optics, and a bit more complex to get than what I currently do.
You could still use the getOpticsMode command on the unit to get that information, so it is not too difficult to get it.

#

The switchOptics EH I currently have triggers as soon as you hit the RMB, so when it starts the transition.

limpid rune
#

oh right I forgot the getter was added

limpid rune
#

then I can't think of anything else currently, vehicles are a bit different (usually defined in OpticsIn/Out classes iirc rather than OpticsModes)

neon swan
# vocal abyss What about FFV?

In what way? Whether opticsModeChanged works for that, or if switchOptics does. In both cases yes. Or in some other way?
For opticsModeChanged it will detect the opticsMode change on the weapon you are holding, which in FFV is the same weapon you would hold when not in a vehicle. For switchOptics, it triggers whenever it would switch from CamGunner to CamInternal/External and vice versa. Which in FFV would still be ADS on the weapon you are holding.

would it be possible to swap the x and y in in-game description and hint of atan2?
if you don't read the description and just read the hint, it's confusing because it shows x atan2 y, making it seem like actually the x-component should go first
also conventionally tangent is shown as y / x, not x / y (technically both are correct tho)
in other programs this convention is observed as well (e.g. C++ shows it as atan2f(float Y, float X))

Another one 🐰

When i drop a uniform/vest/backpack on the ground and relog, their inventory is empty for me after reconnecting (tested client prof & stable).
I wanted to test setUnitLoadout for our loadPlayer function instead of multiple calls/functions to add the gear and while testing i stumbled upon this weird behaviour.
The player unit is created on the server and setUnitLoadout also executed on the server.

Only behaves like that with setUnitLoadout meowhuh
Any plausible explanation ?

Before dropping on the ground and re-logging: https://gyazo.com/c651969e4b049f8db9375c16aa23b4af
After re-logging (Inventory of vest/backpack/uniform is empty) : https://gyazo.com/98308fa1224f3dc12eb2ba3c797e06db

Edit: To make it even more confusing, if you take the seemingly empty gear and relog again with it equipped. The inventory is correctly filled afterwards meowawww
So again get/set unitLoadout is done by the server and after re-logging everything is there again, so it's just a "visual inventory problem" since the data is valid.

In case of low / distant danger, civilians try to hide in user predefined cover points.
...
In situations where there is an insufficient number of cover points, especially in the outer parts of the area, AI might run away from danger, then calm down and move back searching for cover point. Then, on the way back, it gets too close to the danger it will start to flee again. This is obviously not ideal situation, so pay attention to proper placement of the cover point and use Debug mode to see where unit is heading and how terrified is.

I was wondering if we could get an alternative to the allMissionObjects command, because it's so slow and useless for frequent usage (it has to be used frequently to update the list of mission objects, because we don't have an "objectCreated" mission event handler sadly)
the entities command is super fast in comparison

I was hoping for a command that returns only mission placed objects that are "significant" and not "temporary" (such as projectiles, footsteps, insects, etc.). in other words:

  1. all units, agents and vehicles (alive or dead). we already know this is fast
  2. all simple objects. this is also fast
  3. all misc "vehicles" placed during the mission, such as buildings, ammo boxes, etc.

if only there was also a command that returned the 3rd case I wouldn't ask ofc. or maybe we could just get a command that returns the 3rd case?

wouldn't make the scanning any faster

sinful kettle
#

doesn't the game keep a list of the 3rd case?

untold sky
#

That is just vehicles command

sinful kettle
#

because it seems the first 2 cases are indeed arrays

untold sky
#
  1. also has a command for it
sinful kettle
#

no. vehicles doesn't return buildings. only actual "vehicles" are included

untold sky
#

πŸ€”

sinful kettle
#

if it did I wouldn't ask πŸ˜…

#

maybe a command called allVehicles instead?! πŸ˜…

sinful kettle
#

seems like all objects with simulation = "house" are not included meowsweats

#

maybe the command filters them manually? πŸ€”

#

anyway I think adding a new command instead is better. that way you won't break current stuff that rely on vehicles not returning buildings...

untold sky
#

I'll just make ObjectCreated eventhandler and tell you to go away

sinful kettle
sinful kettle
#

maybe it's not intended behavior...

untold sky
#

no blobcloseenjoy

#

Actually ObjectCreated EH would be quite performance critical πŸ€”
Maybe its too dangerous to give that to scripters

sinful kettle
#

maybe you could filter out some objects?
e.g. insects, footsteps, projectiles, sounds, lights, etc.?

untold sky
#

but where to start and where to stop

#

for example I imagine people will want projectiles

sinful kettle
#

I can't think of a good way filtering method either. allVehicles it is then πŸ˜›

#

I can only think of a "special" event handler, like addObjectInitEventHandler, with special filters... meowsweats

untold sky
#

can hack it and use eventhandler arguments, which missionEH has

Thats not a donation, thats a purchase. Thats not allowed.

devout wave
# untold sky for example I imagine people will want projectiles

Since something monitoring projectiles is likely to be fairly focused on monitoring only projectiles, perhaps you could have separate EHs, one for non-projectiles only (objectCreated) and one only for projectiles (projectileCreated?). Then both things are possible, but any script that only does one (likely to be most scripts) gets better performance.

e.g. special strings that are internal enums?

I'd do it like regex params

AFAIK there is no way to determine what title effect a number relates to (unless you check all the source of all scripts)

#

possible to have a SQF command that would return the associated code?

#

practical use: trying to determine when to show a cursor - you dont want to mission intro/outro/cutscene effects, but often title effects are also used for HUD in various ways

I think he means he wants a command that gives a similar return to stacktrace/calltrace, but for title effects

desert trench

Hence i used quotes for "similar" - in other words it would be handy to

possible to have a SQF command that would return the associated code

#

i used the stacktrace/calltrace references as they help you understand the code context

untold sky
#

what is "associated code" here? the code that created the title effect?

desert trench
#

yep. the id is the layer, so there must be some internal ref the engine holds to the code from what i understand

untold sky
#

it holds a ref to the layer that was created

#

but probably not to the piece of script that created it

desert trench
#

i see. what about the properties/setup of the title effect? with the info you could at least determine easier where it come from

the alternative would be to have a way to see if there is a black/white screen from some title effect

Was being discussed over tehre

setUnitRank is used to change the players rank as they change role.
If a player leaves the server, then another player respawns, once the player reconnects the units rank is no longer what it was, and defaults back to private. This video demonstrates this: https://youtu.be/AfBEyMrWfOk

Reproduce:

Load this mission: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2793205082

1. Join server and have both players select role through menu
2. One player disconnects, other player dies/respawns whilst the other isn't on the server
3. Player reconnects, rejoins the squad and see's the player as a private again (what the unit is in the SQM)

# solid marten thanks

btw KK do you happen to know if the game keeps a list of placed buildings during the mission (not terrain)? because vehicles command doesn't return them.
if they're already available as an array in the game I'd appreciate a command that does return them (allMissionObjects can be used too but it's super slow to do it that way)
I asked this from Dedmen too but he wasn't interested notlikemeowcry

solid marten
#

and xxbuilding commands return them?

sinful kettle
#

Also it returns terrain buildings

#

But I need mission objs only

#

It's not just buildings. vehicles command doesn't return any object with simulation = "house"

#

Such as rocks you place in eden. But if you place a "thingX" object such as a wrench it is returned meowsweats

#

I was hoping for a fast command to fetch those missing "house" objects (comparable to commands such as allUnits, vehicles, entities, allSimpleObjects, which are fast, since the game probably keeps them as an array or something)

#

if you do allMissionObjects in an empty mission it takes several milli seconds to complete (vs several micro seconds taken by those other commands) meowsweats

#

Plus I don't need 99% of what it returns anyway meowsweats

solid marten
#

Make a ticket plz

sinful kettle
#

As in if the engine stores them in a faster container than a quadtree or whatever

solid marten
#

@sinful kettle so there are lists of vehicles: fast, normal, slow, very slow each of the categories is divided to visible near/far and invisible near/far. What exactly do you have problems with, just the houses?

sinful kettle
#

I didn't test all.

#

the houses one was the most annoying

#

would you like me to check all?

#

also does it depend on the category, or the simulation?

#

e.g. a rock is simulation = "house" and it's also not returned

#

I think it also applies to weapon holders

#

not sure tho

solid marten
#

simulation will determine frequency of simulation, so houses will be slow vehicles i suppose

#

and is the reason not included into vehicles as those are normal vehicles

sinful kettle
#

ah

#

well I want all I guess πŸ˜…

#

since houses are probably the slowest ones

#

just out of curiosity, what other objects are not returned?

solid marten
#

what do you mean, by vehicles command?

sinful kettle
#

vehicles

#

technically it doesn't return "vehicles" tho

#

it returns objects

solid marten
#

fast, slow and very slow not returnes

sinful kettle
#

e.g an object with simulation = "thingX" is returned

solid marten
#

slow are simple objects and houses, very slow - lamps, fast I guess bullets and particles

#

thingX would be normal

sinful kettle
solid marten
#

simulation is wide concept with rules including update frequency, so it would be huge subject

#

street lamps

#

10sec

sinful kettle
#

how slow would it be to return all of them? (excluding projectiles)

#

except for engine "hidden" ones (e.g. sound objects, light objects, etc.)

solid marten
#

they are separate lists so this would mean iterating through all of them so depending on how many objects you have could be either lightningfast or pretty heavy

sinful kettle
#

I guess what I want that is missing is slow and very slow

solid marten
#

lets look at the problem, user placed houses?

sinful kettle
#

yes

solid marten
#

the house is determined by presence of the pathway

sinful kettle
#

well I mean "houses" (simulation = "house") πŸ˜…

#

rocks too

solid marten
#

let me experiment with slow and very slow to see the ranges

Hi everyone, I don't think this ticket has been picked up since 2017, but I think the ability to hide an object (especially a unit) but maintain its collision and ability to be shot would open up a lot of possibilities (and I'm experimenting for a project and selfishly need this functionality!)

#

short answer, probably not happening at this stage, hiding had many problems in the past, so doubt anyone will want to open this can of worms

hearty oyster
#

That's a shame but understandable. Cheers @solid marten

solid marten
#

there are invisible objects in A3 that have collisions also those made invisible with setting textures to nothing also have collisions I think

deep plaza
#

can we have a command like
allowThirdPersonView = false;
for now we must always create a loop for it

hearty oyster

I don't think this will play nicely with collisions with environmental objects though 😦

e.g. when a task is completed, a scripted EH added to the object/side that has that task is triggered?

#

oh wait setVariable doesn't work on sides meowsweats

but there are not that many sides so maybe you can do it via 4 hashmaps:

_sidesEvents = [createHashmap, createHashmap, createHashmap, createHashmap];
_sideEvents = _sidesEvents param [_side call BIS_fnc_sideID, createHashmap];

Does that make sense? Theres going to be a condition that returns true that makes the task completed right?

idk if this is the right place for this; My latest note on https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/if
I believe this falls under the category of magic functionality. Non-existence of code shouldn't change functionality, this is very unintuitive and definitely a bug, imo

regal nimbus
#

I dunno, seems reasonable to me. What would you expect the missing else case to return?

willow finch
#

missing case should not return

solid marten

not possible, the way scripting is implemented, something has to return, even if it is nothing (nil). The behaviour is expected, whether or not it is desirable is up to the scripter to decide and adjust accordingly. the note is good

the control is weird one because the text position is defined by this class in the control class: ```class TextPos

#

shouldn't the text be automatically centered like in normal buttons?

now the top position is absolute and not relative to the button's height, so it will only work when specifically set for different buttons of different height

the animations of some objects cannot be changed using the animate command, even if they're simple objects or you disable their simulation.
for example, when I spawn a wind turbine, it keeps rotating with time and I can't force it to spin the way I want

would it be possible to get a command to force the object animation? like forceAnimate or something? or an optional bool at the end of the animate command args?
https://feedback.bistudio.com/T165117

sinful kettle
#

p.s: it's ok if the effect is temporary (only lasts a frame). I just want the animation to actually change. for example with wind turbines, the following code should return true (it currently doesn't):

_animPhase = random 1;
turbine animate ["mxlprop", _animPhase, true]; //with new forced arg: turbine animate ["mxlprop", _animPhase, true, true];
turbine animationPhase "mxlprop" == _animPhase

solid marten
#

why is this a problem? This command allows you to set it on group entity separately from units. Why, don’t ask me, community wanted more control over engine process

Hmm. On stable my experience is that the unit version didn't do anything. Use case was setting a driver to careless so they didn't freak out at enemy vehicles. Had to make a separate group for the driver instead.

I have a question. Is it possible to have a command that returns object animation parameters, such as source, sourceAddress, etc.
Basically these parameters in model.cfg:

class Animations
{
    class FrontWheelR
    {
        type = "rotationX";            // The type of animation.
        source = "wheel";            // The controller that provides input.
        selection = "pravy predni";    // The name of the skeleton bone used.
        axis = "";                    // The name of the axis in the model.
        memory = true;                // Is the axis defined in the memory LOD of the model or not?
        sourceAddress = "loop";        // Does the animation loop or not?

        minValue = 0;                // The minimum value of the motion range.
                                    // i.e. The controller input when animation phase is 0.

        maxValue = 1;                // The maximum value of the motion range.
                                    // i.e. The controller input when animation phase is 1.

        angle0 = 0;                    // The starting angle of this animation, where the
                                    // animation phase is minValue

        angle1 = "rad -360";        // The ending angle of this animation,
    };                                // where the animation phase is maxValue
};
#

or does that fall in the "model ripping" category? thonk

#

e.g. a command like object getAnimationParams "animationName"

#

iirc I had a ticket about that and it was claimed but wasn't implemented thonk

#

let me see if I can dig it up

Is there any interest in crash dumps from Linux servers, or is that basically unsupported?

#

Antistasi+RHS tends to fall over after a few hours, fine on Windows servers.

linux crash dumps are hard to analyse. I need the core dump which is huge, and copies of relevant libraries that you used on your server :/
I don't want to go to that effort unless its really important

all you need is something like if (veh.allowCrewInImmobile()) return; before the bit of code that disembarks the AI πŸ˜›

I keep attempting to play ops with my unit and keep getting the same error "STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION" and I have no idea how to fix it any ideas?

btw is there still someone left that can fix incorrect stuff in models? (e.g. missing parts of LODs)

#

or is that not gonna happen anymore?

The ticket you linked to most likely won't make it to prof
Only selected small, non-game breaking "platform" changes are pushed to prof (there should also be no data changes)

The path is dev > stable. Sometimes things go to prof as well but this does not add wait time unless it turns out to break something.

I think you are thinking of this from the wrong angle. Unless it's a core feature of the update, the update will probably not be delayed to wait for something to go through dev, and the update definitely won't be brought forward to get one change out sooner. The update is planned for a certain time and whatever's passed QA at that time will be in it. It's not "oh this change will be on dev for X days then it comes to stable", it's "this change will be on dev for however many days it is until 2.10 is ready".

it is in todays prof, but its not mentioned in changelog because its not back/forwards compatible, so technically people cannot reliably use it on prof

Would it be possible to make the animate and animationPhase commands take animation indices in addition to the names? (i.e. obj animationPhase index)
based on a quick test I made, it seems that animations are stored as arrays, because the performance of animationPhase seems to scale with the index of the animation in the returned array using animationNames, which means the game searches for the animation name first before returning the phase, which is a bit wasteful since object anims don't change indices
if so, using indices means the command works faster, which could save me a lot of performance since I'm using animationPhase every frame for many objects and each have many animations.

#

some objects (especially vehicles) have hundreds of animations so it could save a lot of performance

Hey is it just me or is the text that is automatically added to html preset files to explain how to use them pretty wonky?
"Drag this file or link to it to Arma 3 Launcher or open it Mods / Preset / Import."

Something like this would props make more sense ablobshrug :
"Drag this file onto the launcher window or click the Mods tab, then Presets in the top right, then Import at the bottom and then select this file, to import the preset into your launcher."

If there's a chance of it being changed I'll happily throw up a quick ft ticket

#

that text is even hardcoded without localization. So its very easy to change it

#

Might not need a ticket, but person to sign off on it is unavailable, please ping me about it on monday

Of course will work, and this is not even a valid feedback

Really weird to have a support forum spammed instead of a more gullible site

devout wave

Bots. They trawl the internet looking for any kind of forum they can sign up to and post their spam on. They don't know and don't care that it's a feedback tracker, they just know they can post on it.

It uses a relatively common markdown syntax which definitely does not require access to the software source code to use.
