i mean, simple trigger trig on my condition right? it suppose to fire every time i enter in right? it does print on console ( including dedicated server ) but not the sound

#

and ye i use rpc rpl broadcast

river imp
#

if you're not replicating your functionality correctly then you'll have different results when testing on a dedi

jade owl
#

in this func it should replicate it to all clients

#

but on dedi, it only fire one time

#

@river imp u want me to send u full code?

river imp
#

AudioSystem.PlaySound doesn't seem to be called in any vanilla scripts. Which to me would indicate it's not the proper way to actually be playing sounds.

ocean kernel
#

Works for me

river imp
#

I never said it didn't work.

jade owl
# ocean kernel Works for me

Do you have any suggestion to make the sound fire more than one on dedicated server, streamed to all clients connected?

river imp
#

call play sound twice

#

Or am I confused as to what you mean by that?

jade owl
river imp
#

In my tests it works perfectly fine.

#

be more specific about what you mean

#

If your trigger entity isn't set up correctly it will only fire the first time

jade owl
#

a trigger in specific position, player walk in , sound need to fire each time he go there, once the player need to hear it as well

jade owl
minor agate
#

It's not usable

#

It will get called every time that the entity streams out

I would say it's moreso unusable because you can't mod that class to begin with.

I'm in the open source everon life mod im trying to learn how to script UI and get it to work in game

I may be wrong still very new to scripting here
but from what I understand this script EL_BetaHud.c is spawning in the ICONS and updating the food hunger and money

I'm just wanting to learn how this works so I can attempt to make the money value just display on the HUD of my mod im trying to make im referencing this mod because it works on here

so I think it spawns in the HUD because I do not see anything overwritten in chimera menu with this layout no entries with it

i don't see it in the player manager HUD components I also don't see it reference in the game mode so i have no idea how this is working other than just pure scripting alone I tried copy and pasting to see if it would work on my mod but no luck how do you guys figure this kind of stuff out I've torn it apart piece by piece but i cant seem to figure out how it works

What's EL_MoneyUtils.PREFAB_CASH?

#

From what I can tell it will change the money "text" when that prefab is added/removed from the owners inventory

#

Spawn some {5439738849229352}Prefabs/Items/Currencies/MoneyStack.et prefabs to see if it works correctly

Is there a method to replicate CharacterIdentityComponent to clients? Server side I'm running

Identity characterIdentity = identityComponent.GetIdentity();
characterIdentity.SetName(fullName);
identityComponent.CommitChanges();

But it seems clients can't see the change if they are in game when the change is made. New clients can see the change.

I stumbled across SCR_EditorToggleUIComponent while I was checking out different layouts. I had been meaning to find an event like this, just kept forgetting. I'm looking the get the playername and and ID when this is triggered.

I also saw the GameStatsApi class has EditorStart. Which path am I better going down?

high hawk
#

Would it also work adding a event to the SetMessage() function in SCR_ChatMessageLineComponent?

#

ScriptedWidgetEventHandler Could solve this possibly? (Getting chatlogs)

#

just had a look in SCR_ChatMessage I think I can tackle this

class S3C_InterfaceSettings : ModuleGameSettings
{
    [Attribute(defvalue: "0.25", uiwidget: UIWidgets.Slider, params: "0 1 0.01", desc: "Changes the opacity of the 3PP crosshair")] // #locale
    float m_fCrosshairOpacity;
}

//inside my modded SCR_InterfaceSettingsSubMenu
m_aSettingsBindings.Insert(new SCR_SettingBindingGameplay("S3C_InterfaceSettings", "m_fCrosshairOpacity", slider.GetName()));
LoadSettings();

sliderComponent.SetLabel("Crosshair opacity");
sliderComponent.SetShownValueMultiplier(100);

Hello, the SetShownValueMultiplier does not seem to work, my slider works fine but it goes from 0% to 1% instead of 0% to 100%, what am i doing wrong?

#

UpdateValue() isn't called in the slider component when calling SetShownValueMultiplier that's why it's not showing in the interface

#

Had to do this to make it work somehow, the final text values are not multiplied by the m_fShownValueMultiplier when m_bRoundValue is false

modded class SCR_SliderComponent : SCR_ChangeableComponentBase
{
    override float UpdateValue()
    {
        float value;
        if (m_wSlider)
            value = m_wSlider.GetCurrent();

        // Update displayed text, optional secondary value display
        if (m_wText && m_wText.IsVisible())
        {
            float value1 = value * m_fValueMultiplier + m_fValueOffset;
            float value2 = value * m_fSecondaryMultiplier + m_fSecondaryOffset;

            if (m_bClampValue)
            {
               value1 = Math.Clamp(value1, m_fMinValue, m_fMaxValue);
               value2 = Math.Clamp(value2, m_fMinValue, m_fMaxValue);
            }

            if (m_bRoundValue)
            {
              //value1 = RoundValue(value1 * m_fShownValueMultiplier, m_iDecimalPrecision); default
                value1 = RoundValue(value1, m_iDecimalPrecision);
              //value2 = RoundValue(value1 * m_fShownSecondaryMultiplier, m_iDecimalPrecision); default
                value2 = RoundValue(value2, m_iDecimalPrecision);
            }

            value1 *= m_fShownValueMultiplier; // <-- moved here otherwise it's only multiplied if m_bRoundValue is true
            value2 *= m_fShownSecondaryMultiplier; // <-- same

            m_wText.SetTextFormat(m_sFormatText, value1, value2);
        }

        return value;
    }
    
    //------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    override void SetShownValueMultiplier(float multiplier)
    {
        super.SetShownValueMultiplier(multiplier);
        UpdateValue(); //<-- added this otherwise the display text does not update when calling this function
    }
};

I enabled "Log actions" in the Diag menu under Game code -> User Actions. But do not see any logs for user actions in the console. Am I missing something?

#

I got a TouchComponent and use SetEventMask(EntityEvent.Touch) on a box and on my chimera character, but when i collide with the box nothing happens in my EOnTouch function, is it normal?

#

There's also an OnContact event, whats the difference between those?

#

OnContact works because those two entities have rigidbodies, so what's EOnTouch for?

river imp
#

iirc, EOnTouch fires once when something touches the object and EOnContact fires the entire time something is contacting the object.

#

I was messing with EOnTouch last night and couldn't get it to fire at all though.

#

Not sure what's changed.

#

You do have to set the active entity flag

#

but even so, nothing happens.

west prism
#

Maybe it's not implemented yet

river imp
#

It used to work

    }
    //------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    void ZEL_TouchTestEntity(IEntitySource src, IEntity parent)
    {        
        SetFlags(EntityFlags.ACTIVE);

Used to be all you need ^

Yeah i saw that in the SCR_SectorSpawn entity script

What does it mean the description at WorldTimestamp GetServerTimestamp();

"This timestamp may jump forward or experience time dilation (slow down or speed up), but it will never go backwards."

How Slow down or Speed up? Is it sensitive to Day/Night Duration? Or what?

sorry for tagging an old post but did you manage to solve this issue? Still getting Reason: Dedicated server is not correctly configured to connect to the BI backend. error 😦

river imp
#

That means your server isn't connecting to the backend?

hollow oak
river imp
#

Because your server isn't connected to the backend

#

The error gives you a link to follow

#

If you only get that error sometimes then it could just be that the backend is down.

        {
            if (RplSession.Mode() != RplMode.Dedicated)
            {
                // Peer tool support
                uid = string.Format("bbbbdddd-0000-0000-0000-%1", playerId.ToString(12));

i think we are misunderstanding 😄

#

I just looked at the first release on git

#

If you couldn't get a PlayerIdentity (then called PlayerUID) it would use "BBBBDDDD-0000-0000-0000-%1", playerId.ToString(12)

#

same as it does now

vernal moat
#

hum actually

#

the issue is that OnPlayerAuditSuccess does not trigger for peer tools

#

so i have to also handle OnPlayerConnected which in my case also calls GetPlayerUID method shown above

river imp
#

OnPlayerAuditSuccess used to get called on peer tools

#

That or i'm losing my mind.

#

I don't test on a dedi.

#

I've always used peer tool and distinctly recall getting the PlayerUID from on audit success

#

I'm sure you could do a search and see where I tell people to call it from that method

#

I do remember having to switch to using OnPlayerConnected though.

river imp
hollow oak
# river imp ?

I thought it might be because of usage webproxy db somehow

vernal moat
river imp
#

I don't remember 100% accurately.

#

I do know it was before the framework was even released.

vernal moat
#

per arkensor words (as much as i remember) audit success means BI servers properly auth you, so it make sens that they cant auth random peer tools

#

tho i suggested to use the new diag exe version to bypass this and simulate the proper behavior

river imp
#

Oh, I bet that's when I switched to on connected though

#

before I knew to use the diag executables lol

vernal moat
vernal moat
river imp
#

Regardless, I distinctly remember getting the player UID from on audit success and i have never tested on a dedicated server.

#

How long ago that was I don't know

#

How long you were able to do that, I don't know either.

vernal moat
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

arma 4 will answer this

hollow oak
#

in theory there's a way to get rid off bi uid completely by just creating uuid randomly

river imp
#

Then you won't have persistence

hollow oak
#

So I could add another identificators such as username and steamID (for PC)

river imp
#

You can't get their steam ID

hollow oak
#

as a disadvantage - you'll have to use some sort of whitelist

river imp
#

Too much trouble

#

Not worth it

#

I have a whitelist mod

#

And it uses the player UID lol

open pier
#

No reason to add a second layer to something that's unique per account anyways

west prism

why would you create an uuid when you can use their uid

anyone know how to disable colliders on a character entity/player? currently doing:

Physics physics = owner.GetPhysics();    

physics.SetInteractionLayer(EPhysicsLayerDefs.CharNoCollide);
physics.ChangeSimulationState(SimulationState.NONE);
physics.EnableGravity(false);
physics.SetVelocity(vector.Zero);
physics.SetAngularVelocity(vector.Zero);
physics.SetMass(0);
physics.SetDamping(1, 1);
physics.SetActive(ActiveState.INACTIVE);

every frame, but that isn't having any effect in a server environment.

#

ChangeSimulationState seems to allow me to have vehicles ignore character colliders, just need a method to have other characters ignore eachothers colliders (player and AI)

Okay, so I'm trying to create a basic 'repelling' test using helicopters. As a starting point, I'm using a ladder for testing. I've managed to spawn the ladder as an entity child of the helicopter, so it's properly attached. Interestingly, ladders allow interaction with other objects. For example, if I climb up the ladder, I can enter a seat directly from it—but I can't do the reverse. That's the issue I'm trying to figure out right now.

Sorry to dig up a year old post, however I am trying to work out how to disable refunding of items, gear, weapons etc as supplies. I see the sell multiplier is still set to 0.

I'd recommend looking at making a customer "repel" action, and allowing it to be performed by a passenger. Take a look at the handbrake, lights etc and how it works with seeing if the player is in the specific 'compartment'

Also for your ladder, u could probably just add the ladder component to the heli (could be wrong) but then you can just define the entry and exit positions to your liking.

ocean kernel
#

Make an action that ejects and ragdolls the player and sets their gravity to 0.1

#

Done

ionic pewter
#

@high hawk Thanks, I'll look into that further. Regarding the handbrake and lights, I find it quite frustrating to develop mods in this environment due to the many limitations on what I can access.

For example, I created a mod for the flashlight Flashlight Stays On When Dropped, but I couldn’t find any references to the button that toggles it on or off, as it seems to be locked behind inaccessible systems. This makes it difficult to find real use case examples in the code, which is quite irritating.

If there is not you can mod the class to make a helper method which returns the script invoker

Okay, So I'm confused a bit. Why did you want to use the SCR_PosessingManagerComponents script invoker?

high hawk

hah, just found SCR_ScriptInvokerHelper aviator

high hawk
#

Its, on GameMode, so thinking logically (for me) I looked there first

river imp
#

But what would the Posessing manager have to do with gm mode?

high hawk
#

Possessing another mode?... I then went through the editor stuff. I was simply asking how to sub to an event, then we went on this lil journey together.

#

Plus, have you seen how much there is to the Editor side of things?

Hello, Im new to scripting and have been reading the wiki's. Im having an issue where my class isnt highlighting teal and isnt being recognized as valid for configs... Does anyone know why this might be?

image.png
spring shale
#

Well valid for configs requires a special header.
If you put a space between the: it might make it show up teal.

Also too if you're inheriting from something. You're generally going to overwrite what your putting down in your example.

shadow oxide
#

What a disgusting url

#

I got it to work by recreating it in the game scripts folder and adding this header which I got from an existing context action. I wonder why the wiki tutorial doesnt mention the requirement of a header.

image.png
spring shale
#

When you do base container props, It's basically going to make that into a config file generator. If I recall correctly.

So you generally don't want any real functions in it.

The general context action, might require the matching class header. I can't remember. I'd have to load up my computer and not going to do that at the moment.

Does anyone have a good way of creating a scriptable camera and then setting its transform? I found some brief convos in this channel, but no one has actually said how to create it

scarlet sage
#

Now dumb question, how does one override or edit an exsiting script 😅

scarlet dune
#

save it @scarlet sage

#

so you would edit it then save it

scarlet sage
#

Essentially how do I edit a locked script 😅

scarlet dune
#

do you have a sqf editer program

scarlet sage
#

Yup

scarlet dune
#

well if its locked i wouldnt mess with it

scarlet sage
#

I want to edit the scrip (the one above) to make it so AI don't spawn until a player comes within a certain distance. I'm working on developing a PvE Conflict

scarlet dune
#

what kinda file is that

shadow oxide
scarlet sage
#

Its to help maximize the efficiency of the PvE game mode

scarlet dune
#

but what kinda of file is that there

#

thats not a reg sqf file is it

#

is that a pbo file

#

thats just an image

#

so are you saying the pbo is locked

spark otter
#

sqf is not a thing in reforger

scarlet sage
#

This is where it's located, It was suggested to me to look in this file and edit it to adjust the spawn radius. I found in the code where I need to adjust it, but can't make any adjustments

image.png
spark otter
scarlet dune
#

oh sorry m8 im in the wrong channel oops

spark otter
#

then add "modded" in front of the classname

scarlet sage
#

lol, its okay Scotty

scarlet dune
#

i dont have reforger

scarlet sage
#

There is no override 😅

image.png
spark otter
#

then duplicate and change the name to something unique to your mod

scarlet sage
#

kk

spark otter
#

Like in my pve mod, I changed SCR to CPR

scarlet sage
#

like this for Modded?

#

I believe it worked!

#

I just have to make some adjustments and play around, but thank you!

Can someone explain to me why the surface transform(param.TraceNorm) isn't right for creating decals on anything not the terrain?

Decal decal = world.CreateDecal(
            param.TraceEnt, 
            intersectionPosition,
            param.TraceNorm,
            0.0,
            2.0,
            0,
            5,
            1,
            "{A8D6D483CF4BB8FC}Assets/Decals/Blood/Blood_Pool_Decal4.emat",
            10,
            0xFFFFFFFF
        );
#

If i flipped the TraceNorm then the decal partially works

Decal decal = world.CreateDecal(
            param.TraceEnt, 
            intersectionPosition,
            param.TraceNorm * -1,
            0.0,
            2.0,

GetItems gets everything

foreach (IEntity item : itemsToMove)

You'll get null prints because it will get to an item that was in a jacket that has already been deleted because the jacket was deleted.

trydelete works but not what im doing. I am wanting the items to come off the player. in the future I might have it go into a new spawn storage on the body.

if i getitems, it will just dump every items out of each clothing piece. if i getrootitems, it gets the top level inventory.

its working fully now though.

Not sure why you were using TryDeleteItem in the first place then

ahh i switched it while testing

That gives no indication of weather the other function will call successfully or not

always test with what you're trying to do and not some other "replacement" function

I am just starting out with scripting for enfusion. One thing that has come up is if it is possible to alter a players max movement speed when not sprinting. Assuming it is where would should I be looking within the scripts?

river imp
normal pendant
#

I am familiar with C# and can read the scripts in game. It's more a case of information overload and not being quite sure where to start looking 🙂

river imp
#

Also read those ^

normal pendant
#

I have skimmed through these and will probably end up reading them all in my usual disjointed way. I am just unsure as to what actually controls a characters movement speed. Using the search bar only gets me so far.

river imp
#

Using the search bar is the only way to figure things out. And learning to find things for yourself is way more useful than having someone tell you where to look. Regardless

#

I think you're only valid option is CharacterControllerComponent::SetDynamicSpeed

#

maybe CharacterControllerComponet::SetMovement

normal pendant
#

Dynamic speed sets the lerp between min and max, I could not find an actual ability to set the max speed directly which is what I was looking for. I had thought I could limit the max dynamic speed setting but it feels ... hacky

river imp
#

In this game jank is sometimes the only way

#

like every other arma game

#

The movement speed of the character is tied into the speed at which the animations play

#

There probably isn't a way to set it directly.

normal pendant
#

Asking is normally my last option. It just surprised me that this isn't exposed. I assume they are using root motion but in other games there is normally a way of accessing animation speed. (not always admitadly).

#

thanks for the help. I think at least for testing purposes I will start with the dynamic speed, if anything it will allow me to see if its something worth messing with for my purposes 🙂

#

and perhaps that is only control I can mess with

river imp
#

I don't think you're gonna be able to set the speed higher than whatever the default max is.

#

Try getting the SCR_CharacterDamageManagerComponent and calling SetMovementDamage with a negative value lol

normal pendant
#

at least I am trying to slow it down

river imp
# 
        SCR_CharacterDamageManagerComponent  Comp;
        Comp = SCR_CharacterDamageManagerComponent.Cast(pUserEntity.FindComponent(SCR_CharacterDamageManagerComponent));
        Comp.SetMovementDamage(0.9);
#

Closer to 1 the slower

#

But don't set to 1

normal pendant
#

that is another way. If I control speed via dynamic speed control that doesn't have to interact with the damage scripts. Only issue is detecting if a player is using a gamepad as dynamic speed is not set.

#

I have a starting point at least. It would be nice if there was a more direct way of affecting it rather than poking it from different places 😄

river imp
#

Also you'd have to somehow stop them from changing the dynamic speed

normal pendant
#

thats easy you can check current dymaic speed and set it after a threshold, the only issue is that its never set for ppl with gamepads... thinking about it however it is probably set to 1 for gamepads so they can use an analogue stick to control speed. In which case I am over thinking all this as long as I make the check and then set if the value is higher than I want then it would affect everyone the same way.

#

requires testing

river imp
#

I don't think checking the dynamic speed on tick is worth it.

Local entity/component does not mean the Rpl stuff is gone, nor not needed anymore

Writing a domain specific HTTP server for your project will probably be faster than learning someone else's general purpose framework

Yeah but like I've only just started dipping my toes into how stuff works around here. I work as a cloud SE for my day job so HTTP APIs are piss easy. The problem for me would be that I wouldn't know where to even start looking for the best place in Reforger script land to hook calls to my custom persistence API if I made one, I think it would take 10x longer for me to figure all that out and get my mod back to persisting what EPF already does than it would to just write a DB driver for it that other people could benefit from too

Be warned that I am bringing the functionality of my mod in an adapted form to vanilla and will then deprecate my mods. For API design it means that you may not need to focus as much on the complex queries you can do in the mod for now, as vanilla will only be a simple key value CRUD interface primarily. Might add more complex queries later but I found out that in reality most content for mods will cross reference things via ID anyway and unpacking complex data structure to find some inner values is usually not worth the effort and the wrong thing to search for

Animations don't control the actual camera movement, but the head

camera.SetYawPitchRoll(angles);

Internal code uses this function, and theirs works

FileIO is for direct file access, by passing virtual file system usually. Meant for workbench plugins mostly. Workbench has full operating system access to file io, hence the dangerous api call confirm window when used. load context uses the normal game file system which can handle everything - and is locked down partially for normal game executable

basically controlling if a user has permission for an object or not. it would be nice to just have this info on every entity that its being used on. rather than calling to a system and writing the info to a json file. so if the entity is removed all the instance and data is removed in the process.

Not sure exactly what you're trying to limit the use of but, it sounds like your idea is gonna cause a bunch of network traffic.

limit the exposure of a code to an entity. it will only be sending traffic when its being claimed, locked and unlocked.

would a component on the entity suffice? I would end up using the useraction to open a usermenu and the data would be sent from that user menu to server.

You can make an invisible user action that your visible user action triggers. Kinda weird to think about but I like to use it for client/server communication without an extra component. It just uses the actionperformer component that already exists on the character

i have :D i get the concept of strong and weak refs, but it doesnt show my specific problem.

however i just realized that how you initialize the array seems to matter too for some reason?

ref array<ref Class_B> classBList = {}; // doesnt work, loses ref
ref array<ref Class_B> classBList = new array<ref Class_B>(); // works

the fist one should also just create a dynamic array https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Scripting:_Values#Array which should keep the value by reference.

also its not the "top layer" object that gets lost, Class_B objects get returned properly, its only the object inside that class that loses ref, so i understand even less how initializing that array changes behavior

Hi guys

I enjoy reforger, it reminds me of Private Armstrong and his journey on Everon in the original Oporation flashpoint before codemaster stole it.

thorn anchor
# minor agate Depends on your whole logic.

hmm i think that is my issue. I should make my action localonly to avoid opening the menu for others. but I guess I need to rpc the menu to my component to get it to update.

Has anyone trained AI on Enfusion coding? I imagine that will be extremely helpful

candid garnet
#

just learn C# and you'll be good to learn HOW to read the dev code to know how everything works. AI will not fix overarching program design.

fervent cedar
#

language models only work well with sqf because of all the open web sqf problem solving and forums.
discord is a black hole of information, so enfusion stuff is not gonna catch up, also because the threading structure is bad in discord.
Even if you download the #enfusion_scripting channel, it's wrose by default compared to sqf resources

But you can get c# basics from text generators

Is there a way to Get the closest 'town/POI' (Anything from the map really) by script? I want to Display a notification with the closest data

#

Similar to how the Vanilla map in conflict tells you "You are nearby: ...."

best resources for enfusion coding is the script editor and the vanilla enfusion code

When running BaseRadioComponent.SetPower() from an Action with HasLocalEffectOnlyScript set to false, it crashes the workbench (when testing with peer tool) with no errors.
The BaseRadioComponent is a child of a vehicle that the player is in, so I guess the player is the owner of the vehicle?
Bug or a feature?

coarse pine
#

Setting the frequency on a transceiver the same way does not crash so this is only to do with the BaseRadioComponent.SetPower()

Any Bohemia dev can objectively confirm wether the Map tool for drawing lines that is only available in singlplayer currently is that moddable to be shown multiplayer?

@torn bane So did I understand correctly that if I want to, for example, create onInit, which should be called when an instance is created... I can't do this unless I write an external control technology (script)?

frail hound
torn bane
#

those are events for workbench plugins and scripts. they are not firing in normale game. hence the wb prefix

minor agate
#

For example making the method show in the scripts group in a named entity

#

That also poses some limitations like arkensor said that it blocks overloading.

#

You can make a custom method that you just made from scripts have the event keyword and it will expose them just the same as I described.

#

So, do not use the event keyword as reference for methods that are used as events 🙂

[Rplprop()] doesnt need parameters technically? it should update when replication.bumpme() is called?

I might have to watch the bootcamp video, I read the wiki and sorta am gettin the info but replication seems so confusing with the terminology.

#

The params in there are all conditional

boreal swan

What would the condition be if it isn't specified? RplCondition.None?

Proxy iirc

I'll have to check.

Ypu can check it anyway on the script definition

#

When creating files (.conf, for instance) in the $profile folder, if I only want to create it in the server's profile, do I need to check if it's a server first? Or does it do that already?

If needed, then how to do so?

#

Like, for clarification, I don't want the files to be created in any player's profile folder as well

river imp
#

If you want to only do it on server you must make sure you're only doing it on the server.

This is due to one of my methods with an Rpc that has method parameters? i dont have any other errors now so im lost.

Menus are only local anyway

#

There can be data that is replicated making them look the same for everyone

thorn anchor
#

ahh okay ill just do that.

river imp
#

but there isn't shared menus

thorn anchor
#

each menu is its own instanced, im assuming what you are getting at.

river imp
#

And the server doesn't open menus, unless you're hosting and you're the sever and a client

thorn anchor
#

ahh okay.

river imp
#

Not only are menus instanced(like everything else) but they are only local

thorn anchor
#

ahh. so to have that menu send data out, you would need to use an rpc to the authority to request the info be changed? i dont know if my terminology is right.

river imp
thorn anchor
#

yeah i did that before lol

river imp
#

And a menu opens for everyone

#

Specifically a local instance of the menu

thorn anchor
#

I turned it off not realizing that the reason the peer wasnt updating the component was because of replication. as im assuming my character is the authority?? since its hosting the server hmm.

# inland bronze When creating files (.conf, for instance) in the `$profile` folder, if I only wa...

Additionally, when it comes to creating .conf files in the profile folder, how can I read it from script?

This is what I currently have:

string m_sDb = string.Format("%1/%2", DB_DIR, DB_NAME_CONF);
        
if (!FileIO.FileExists(m_sDb))
{
    CreateConfig();
}
else
{
    Resource holder = BaseContainerTools.LoadContainer(m_sDb);
    
    m_randomizedConfig = CONVICT_RandomizedAIInventoryConfig.Cast(BaseContainerTools.CreateInstanceFromContainer(SCR_ConfigHelper.GetBaseContainerByPath(holder)));
    
    if (!m_randomizedConfig || !m_randomizedConfig.m_RandomizedItemData)
    {
        Print("[CONVICT] CONVICT_RandomizedAIInventory.conf can not be found! This is typically located in your server's profile folder, please resolve!", LogLevel.ERROR);
        return;
    }
}
``` which prints the error, and I assume because my .conf doesn't have a GUID attached to it. So what would I need to do instead, if possible?
river imp
#

manually create a meta file when the conf is created on the server

#

Are you expecting people to create this config or is it gonna be supplied?

sleek monolith
#

hey! somebody know how to add an arsenal to a object like a safe? :) thx in advance. :) greets!

river imp
#

What?

inland bronze
#

also, how to do the meta file creation? thonk

river imp
#

If so just supply the meta file too

#

Otherwise you have to create one at runtime

#

From scratch

#

All of that is only handled in workbench.

#

There aren't any functions to crate meta files at runtime, that's done by the resource manager or whatever it's called and it can only be done in workbench.

inland bronze
#

Ohhhhh okay, I think I see. So basically, I have it setup to create the file at runtime, but then it's up to the server owner to register it through Workbench?

#

If so, that's fine. The goal was for them to basically run server once, which then creates the files, then they stop the server and edit what is needed in the file

river imp
#

It's easier to just use a json file

inland bronze
#

Oh it is, but .conf seems to be more beginner friendly when editing in Workbench, I think at least

river imp
#

Sure, conf files are easy to edit because they have a ui in workbench

#

You should just supply a conf in the mod and allow people to override it.

inland bronze
#

Only reason I don't do it that way is because then you have to have a whole other mod just to override it, which seems unnecessary

river imp
#

Most communities and people hosting servers have the own mods to begin with.

#

What about the server providers that don't give much access to files.

#

That stops your flow dead in its tracks.

#

If they have limited access to altering files on the server they're renting, then what happens?

#

Same limitation would happen with local json files as well though.

#

That's why its best to just supply a conf in the mod and allow overriding of it.

inland bronze
#

I would hope a server provider allows access to the profile folder lol, seems like such a basic needed feature for a server host

#

I get your point though

river imp
#

I'm pretty sure file restriction is why people hate Nitrado.

ocean kernel
#

Dont worry about that, it will motivate people to find a provider that respects their users

#

So it is net positive

spark otter
#

RIP nitradont

ocean kernel
#

There are providers that dont allow server to download mods from workshop, and require you to upload them via FTP.
There are providers that dont allow editing files that aren't server config json.
There are providers that dont let people change scenarios beyond conflict (yes, really).
There are providers that dont let users use RCON.

#

Dont let any of this stop you.

river imp
ocean kernel
#

RIP half of the playerbase not being able to use your mod since they dont have a PC

river imp
#

That too ^

ocean kernel
#

Probably more than half tbh

#

So yeah, config in profile folder is da way

river imp
#

If you only allow it through creating a mod, they're required to have a pc

#

Server conf, is the best way but, not necessarily the most user friendly

ocean kernel
#

Realistically it's the only choice

river imp
#

And their server provider could halt that process in it's tracks.

ocean kernel
#

Good, less business for providers that don't respect their customers

river imp
#

If people are expected to then open the conf in workbench and edit it though, they're kinda required to have a pc in the first place.

#

Might as well just use a json file.

ocean kernel
#

Yeah json wins. Editing those on a smartphone is hell, but at least it's possible for those that don't have a PC.

#

A lot of folks also have a PC but play Reforger on console only.

river imp
#

His whole point of using confs was ease of access.

#

But editing them via text editor is basically the same as editing a json file via text editor.

ocean kernel
#

in that regard json wins because it's the same format they edit in other places ie. server config

river imp
#

A lot also has to do with what is stored in the conf/json to begin with though.

#

How are people expected to know the ResourceName of the item that they're wanting to add to the conf/json?

#

They have to have a pc and workbench in that case.

#

Which would make creating a mod and overriding the conf the best way, regardless.

sleek monolith
#

..to an object like this :)

#

Or just inherit from the prefab you want and change the mesh

sleek monolith
#

alright and thx a lot ya!! 🙌

spark otter
river imp
#

The only foolproof way is to make a mod that overrides the config file. Every other way could have issues that restrict it.

spark otter
# river imp But in most cases communities have their own mod.

Personally, I hate dependencies, so I dont like having a "server mod" that has a long list of dependency mods that Im editing. Cuz if one dependency goes down, I have to go and publish an update to get things working again. I prefer to make "fix" or "edit" mods for each individual mod, so if the mod goes down I can easily just edit my mod list to get it working again.

river imp
#

If they're gonna have to boot up workbench to edit the conf, or to look up ResourceNames then they might as well add one more dependency and override a conf file lol

pine nacelle
#

Hey I have a question if i have a custom SCR_chimeracharacter script how can i set that up to work with a character prefab? like if i had a post frame script that altered size?

thorn anchor
#

if my useraction has logic in the CanBeShown(). is there any point of having the same logic in CanBePerformed()?

river imp
#

You can probably still do it but you're gonna have undesired results.

river imp
#

And you don't even really need to do that

thorn anchor
#

ahh good call. Hmm okay. because if its not shown its not even possible to attempt to perform hey

river imp
#

CanBePerformed can't actually be performed if the actions isn't shown

#

Both of which are called on frame when looking at the "context" of the action

thorn anchor
#

ahh so logically it probably makes most sense to just have it only true to avoid it running additional logic.

river imp
#

so CanBePerformed can always return true,

#

yes

#

then CanBeShown will show it and people can perform the action

#

if CanBeShown returns false, it won't be shown for the player to perform anyway

Hey @ocean kernel bacon, I dmed you about some scripting stuff. Me and you talked way back in alpha (end of 22) when you helped me get started and I wanted your input on a few things with regards to scripting and mod production. Just reaching out through here to make sure you take a look at the DM, as it offers an interesting proposition. Also the answer is "most likely" to a question you posed to me back then. Based on the experience ive had since.

thorn anchor
#

Can someone link me or show me basic replication for using a uimenu to send values to a component and have it replicated? its working on my main client but still wont on my peer client. causing me grief.

abstract crescent
river imp
#

It works the exact same way as described here except the values come from a menu, go to a component then get rpcd

#

Character clicks a button in the menu, the menu changes a value in the component, the component then asks the server something based on the value that was changed.

How can i reset eventhandler usage on entity?
When i kill vehicle by Zeus lightning the destroyed vehicle runs OnDestroyed eventhandler and all ok, but
when i use RPG, the eventhandler called on windows or lights. I repair vehicle and use again but no eventhandler anymore.... When i destroy vehicle totally later no called OnDestroyed eventhandler.

In OnDestroyed eventhandler description:
"when the default hit zone is set to destroyed"
the default hitzone is "HULL" on vehicle, why eventhandler run on vehicle parts like windows not on main entity and why run only once in entity lifetime?

#

ah found it sry
when register the eventhandler i used single use true
(i don't thinked its running on all parts if i register only the main vehicle ent)

#

and it runs only the first destroyed part

#

so if i need use on destroyed event on main vehicle i need cast "ent" to "vehicle" (to skip other parts)

thorn anchor

ahh okay thats how i was about to do it!

ocean kernel
#

I need it as a lot of my mod depends on identity id 😄

thorn anchor
#

yeah, its too bad there wasnt a built in peertool option to have an ID. I dont think it would be abuseable because peer tool runs on a development build right?

ocean kernel
#

Sometimes you do want things to fail if there is no backend, though

thorn anchor
#

this whole time im trying to troubleshoot my peer tool not registering and it was basically sending a null ID lol.

#

i have it checking backend too in my script. for some reason last night i had a weird loop happening.

#

Ive had a few weird things happening when I have restarted workbench for a while. need to remember to do that before i start messing with stuff.

ocean kernel
#

Sometimes backend works in Wb lol

#

Greatest mystery of our time

torn bane
thorn anchor
#

ahh i see what you did with your script too. I like that. if in workbench it will always have a mock id regardless.

#

if I dont have an rplprop on a variable. that variable wont get replicated to clients right, it will stay server side?

torn bane

Where is the function which is executed when someones fire a weapon

I want to draw a line between the start pos of the bullet and the end pos of it

# ocean kernel Sometimes backend works in Wb lol

don't know if that's related but sometimes when i launch world editor and/or script editor very quickly after launching wb it gets stuck forever trying to link profile, so backend is unaccessible

is this normal to see in log console when a peer tool is connecting?

dark ocean
#

is it possible to obtain typename from string? preferably with some check whether the typename is valid (defined)

river imp
#

string::ToType()

dark ocean
#

lol, such an obvious answer. gracias!

river imp
dark ocean
ocean kernel
#

To be fair, to type name would return "string"

dark ocean
#

it would be incosistent, the class is typename. tho the class should be type, and typename should be a typedef for string

#

actually, string-inherited class, not a typedef. just like we have Resource and ResourceName

river imp
#

Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda

thorn anchor
#

is there a custom param to have peer tool be in debug or workbench so it runs the workbench or debug ifdef properly?

river imp
#

Peers will never run "workbench code"

thorn anchor
#

My issue while testing is that my peer connects. it doesnt have an identity so it returns null. Wasnt sure if there was a good work around for this.

river imp
#

Getting the playeruid will only happen on the server

#

In your case that's workbench

#

Bacon has literally given you a way to fix that issue, why are you not using it?

thorn anchor
#

i did lol

#

unless like you said its not working as its being called client side rather than server.

#

ahh one sec.

thorn anchor
#

how do I give ownership to a proxy? thats my issue i think. client is only proxy. so trying to call this code gets dropped.

Hello, I'm new to Arma reforger, so to speak, and I've just started to figure it out.
I couldn't find any answers to these questions on the Internet:

  1. How to implement subtitles in a Scenario (screenshot 1)
  2. How to implement hints (screenshots 2)
  3. Is it possible to insert custom music and character voice acting, as in Arma 3?
    Thanks for attention.

do i have to have a scriptinvoker or something for the server to watch for to give ownership of the component to whoever opens this menu? i cant seem to figure it out.

river imp
#

Uh, the server should be the one that is giving the ownership of the component to the character that opens the menu

#

iirc at least. Pretty sure the client can't give something to itself

inland bronze
#

What's the proper way to check if youre the server? Searching through the Discord and vanilla script, I see that Replication::IsServer() is better off avoided, so what's another way?

#

RplSession::Mode(RplMode.Dedicated) perhaps?

ocean kernel
#

If you want to check if server then use IsServer

inland bronze
#

Ah, so it's fine to use?

ocean kernel
#

Yes as long as you specifically want to check if it's server, sometimes people may want to check if owner or if authority

inland bronze
#

Ah gotcha gotcha, yeah, in my case just checking if it's server to create a file, and to not create it if on client

thorn anchor
#

I thought I was understanding reforger the best I could then replication came upon me and I’m sorta lost again. I understand the terminology well almost fully.

river imp
#

Not sure why you think you need a script invoker

thorn anchor
#

I don’t know honestly. Well I guess I could have the rplprop watch a method and if it returns true it will give ownership? Because it would be the server doing that not a player requesting it?

river imp
#

You're using a user action to show the menu

thorn anchor
#

Yeah

river imp
#

in perform action give the client ownership of the componet

#

component*

thorn anchor
#

Ahhhhh fuck lol

#

because user action is called from server.

river imp
#

user action is generally called everywhere

#

because by default it broadcasts

thorn anchor
#

Ahh okay. I’ll do that when I get home.

river imp
# 
override void PerformAction(IEntity pOwnerEntity, IEntity pUserEntity)
{
  if(Replication.IsServer())// Create a static function that can be called by the server, with an input for the "Item" and "New Owner"
    //Give Ownership of pOwnerEntity to pUserEntity

  //Just for Conformation, No need to check other proxies
  if(SCR_PlayerController.GetLocalControlledEntity() != pUserEntity)
    return;

  GetGame().GetCallqueue().Call(ExampleFunc,pOwnerEntity); //Call a frame later
}

void ExampleFunc(IEntity thing) //Will print if the caller of the function is the owner of the thing or not
{
  RplComponent Comp = RplComponent.Cast(thing.FindComponent(RplComponent));
  Print(Comp.IsOwner().ToString()); 
}

is there a way to get an array of all the layer paths currently in the world directory?

static array<string> GetAllLayerAbsolutePaths(string worldPath, string worldName)
{
    array<string> paths = {};
        
    string defaultLayerAbsFilePath;
    if (!Workbench.GetAbsolutePath(worldPath, defaultLayerAbsFilePath))
    {
        Print("Could not get absolute path for " + worldPath, LogLevel.WARNING);
        return new array<string>();
    }
        
    // something to grab all absolute paths here
        
    return paths;
}

@spring shale Apologies for the ping, but I've seen some messages from you in here about tackling this issue and thought you might be good to ask.
I'm trying to attach a camera to the player using addchild, however the offset is never correct.
Here is my code snippet, do you have any suggestions?

_unit.AddChild(entity,_unit.GetBoneIndex("Head"));
                
vector transform[4];
transform[3] = "0 0 0";
entity.SetLocalTransform(transform);
entity.Update();

-edit SOLUTION:
This happens because of the "[ABOVE_TERRAIN] TerrainCollision" component that is on the camera. My solution is to duplicate one of the existing cameras and then disable this component. This makes the camera be placed at the correct position when using AddChild

# candid garnet is there a way to get an array of all the layer paths currently in the world dir...

Figured out a solution:

protected string GetLayersAbsoluteFilePath(string worldPath, string worldName)
{
    string worldAbsPath;
    if (!Workbench.GetAbsolutePath(worldPath, worldAbsPath))
        return;

    string layerAbsDir = FilePath.StripFileName(worldAbsPath);
    if (!layerAbsDir.EndsWith("/"))
        layerAbsDir += "/";

    return layerAbsDir + string.Format("%1_Layers", worldName) + "/";
}

WorldEditorAPI worldEditorAPI = SCR_WorldEditorToolHelper.GetWorldEditorAPI();
if !(worldEditorAPI)
    return;

string worldPath;
worldEditorAIP.GetWorldPath(worldPath);
string worldName = FilePath.StripExtension(FilePath.StripPath(worldPath));

string layerFolderPath = GetLayersAbsoluteFilePath(worldPath, worldName);

array<string> paths = {};
FileIO.FindFiles(paths.insert, layerFolderPath, ".layer");

// test
foreach (string path : paths)
{
    Print(path);
}

Hey all, what would be the best way to get custom code executed when mortar shell explodes? Is it custom projectile effect? I'm trying to set up a mortar training gamemode and use this code for hit detection/accuracy measurements.

ocean kernel

Maybe in the warhead

thorn anchor
ocean kernel
#

No I dont know what that means sorry

river imp
#

The rpl component is probably not set up correctly.

thorn anchor
#

Could it being a child object have anything to do with it?

river imp
#

Idk

thorn anchor
river imp
#

I've never tired to give ownership of a "child object" to a player before

thorn anchor
#

like i dont think it should matter right. because im giving ownership from the rplcomponent on that object regardless.

river imp
#

Thinking it doesn't matter and it actually mattering are two different things.

thorn anchor
#

yeah i know.

river imp
#

If you wanna know for sure then test it and find out.

thorn anchor
#

well i tried getting the root parent and getting the rplcomponent from that but it still failed.

river imp
#

Change the state override to runtime Doesn't matter for setting ownership it seems.
