enfusion_scripting

[plush lotus]

let me rephrase

[minor agate]

Go to doxygen

Fully explained there

Whole replication process

[plush lotus]

are you familiar with unity3d ?

[minor agate]

Down to internals

[plush lotus]

ive seen images of the editor, i am curious, how close it is to unitiy3d's approach ?

you tie scripts to objects ?

[minor agate]

Learn it from scratch

[minor agate]

You can but avoid it

We mean it

[plush lotus]

so, nothing like unity then

[minor agate]

I mean you can

But we do not use it as its a mess compared to systems and such

Specially for modding

We have something similar to ECS too

[plush lotus]

unity's approach is that you use the scripting to directly access the behaviour of the gameobject

the loop of any script is still determined by unity's main engine

just trying to understand whats different

[minor agate]

But itd more fleshed out in current enf (AR is not on latest atm)

[minor agate]

Learn the engine by scratch tbh

Otherwise you will have issues getting things

Its not really based from other engines

What is there has been added based on needs of the projects while development

If you want quick jump start

Watch the modding bootcamps in youtube from ArmaPlatform

Also, its nothing like dayz

[plush lotus]

script or gameobject wise?

[minor agate]

Overall

Everything

[plush lotus]

does this/will this come with civilian assets (cloths/food)

because this channel is about arma right? just military stuff?

[minor agate]

There are civilian assets in AR

[minor agate]

You can mod whatever you want

It does not have to be even on theme of the game

[scarlet dune]

whats AR

[plush lotus]

arma reforger?

[scarlet dune]

oh lol ok

[minor agate]

If someone tells ypu that ypu cantthen ignore them

[plush lotus]

i see, thats what i was told last time i asked in here... thats a shame 🙁

[minor agate]

What is a shame?

I am confused hehe

[plush lotus]

that this person told me something different, so i was no longer interested in this discord

that person said no civilian stuff

[minor agate]

Ah, well you can add ehat you please into AR

But

Do not use this chat for dayz scripting questions

As this discord channel is for AR

[plush lotus]

fair enough
i am interested in learning AR but, if its not fully supported with docs etc then it will be quite hard for me... i just don't do well with learning curves 🙂

[minor agate]

Ignore him

[minor agate]

Check the modding bootcamps in youtube

On Arma Platform channel

There is a dozen going over multiple aspects of engine and game

[sweet badger]

IP issues aside, there are actually less restrictions on non military related things

[plush lotus]

cool, ill check those out, thanks MarioE

[minor agate]

Also always feel welcomed to ask anything in the proper channels

[plush lotus]

well obviously i am a big DayZ fan... arma is too militaristic for me...

[minor agate]

Beware that you cant use dayz stuff in here.
#ip_rights_violations message

[plush lotus]

so what does that mean, you're not allowed to turn this game into a zombie survival mod?

[minor agate]

You are not allowed to make it dayz

You can make your own zombie survival. Just dont copy or use dayz

[plush lotus]

fair enough... i can understand you dont want a fully ported dayz when you might want to release your own lol

[boreal swan]

I don't know any other ways to justify this anymore from BI's perspective, but I think BI is sitting on top of huge pile of revenue that would come from supporting (civilian) roleplaying stuff especially before new GTA arrives and even after that if it turns out to be a buggy mess

(Speaking of the civilian stuff)

[plush lotus]

well as i hinted, everyone is waiting for the "next dayz -engine" maybe thats why

[minor agate]

Were you the one that told him no civ stuff?

[boreal swan]

(?) Nope, I tried to emphasize that I'd love to see more of civ stuff

[plush lotus]

no that wasnt him, i was in here years ago asking questions (sorry should have clarified)

so i quickly skipped through the bootcamp #1 and the scripting section... is that the same editor used by the workbench?

[minor agate]

Everything is in wb

WB here is way better than dz's

Although it still has bugs

[plush lotus]

reason i am asking is because there is no UI font scaler... in dayz's editor... i need a magnifying glass to read any of it

[minor agate]

It bugged out in some of the vids too

We decided to keep those scenes to show a bit of truth of some of the issues modders can still face when developing their features

And how to sort it in some cases

[sweet badger]

ctrl + scroll will let you adjust code text size

[plush lotus]

mind you, this is bigger than it is on my screen lol

[minor agate]

Windoes scale setting?

That does not play too well with WB

[plush lotus]

yeah, tried that, but has no effect
i can't use the WB editor, i have been using vs code and command line instead

[minor agate]

Some things will not scale well as in your screenshot

[minor agate]

Do what TIl told you

[plush lotus]

i cant read the UI lol

this is max zoom with coding, so assume that then think of how small the rest of the UI is 🙂

(and this image is larger because its stretched by discord)

i am assuming the AR workbench will be the same?

[minor agate]

There is a bit more support to windows scale in AR WB

[plush lotus]

ok

[dark ocean]

when I spawn an item which can be equipped in the hand slot using InventoryStorageManagerComponent.TrySpawnPrefabToStorage, the item gets properly equipped, but it does not appear visually in hand unless moved out & in to the slot. is there some specific hack I can do to refresh it?

[haughty fractal]

Hello, is there any way to block the construction of a helipad? Since I have made a map focused on infantry and I only want vehicles, not helicopters. Thank you.

[river imp]

IEntity::Update

[desert escarp]

I'm absolutely stumped, I've done everything I can to prevent memory spikes from my mod but it's happening without my mod even having a drone placed or anywhere on the server

A server restarts and it happens immediately without any drones being on the map, nothing in the arsenals so I'm so confused

[dark ocean]

no effect unfortunately. or does it have to happen after some delay?

[river imp]

You're just trying to force someone to hold something in their hand?

[dark ocean]

I want to spawn a prefab into the character inventory (preferably equip, if it's equippable). it happens to be an item which is configured for the hand slot, in which case I want it to properly appear in it.

TrySpawnPrefabToStorage works fine for all cases so far, with the exception of that visual appearance in the hand slot

[river imp]

I'd say that TrySpawnPrefabToStorage is expecting a virtual inventory and not a "Storage" that requires the model to be visible.

The way I do it is with handcuffs is CharacterControllerComponent::TakeGadgetInLeftHand

[river imp]

This is 100% getting called when you then take the item back into your hand as you described above.

[dark ocean]

sounds good, I should be able to detect after the fact that the item has been stored in the hand slot and then (re)attach it this way. thanks!

[river imp]

Just use a custom InventoryOperationCallback

If its in the hand slot though you'll probably have to force drop it, then pick it up.

You may be able to get the inventory item component and set it to visible tbh

[mossy field]

is there a way to compile my mod on headless setup (ie cli)?

[minor agate]

wdym by compile?

[mossy field]

Like write some script source in my editor of choice and then I can invoke some cli tool to build/compile/whatever its doing in workbench

[pliant ingot]

for what? without a running workbench it's useless, and with it - just open the script editor and press shift + f7

If you want to pack addon - use -packAddon argument
For validating scripts - specify to run script module through arguments and -validate

[sour marten]

hej modders i have a question

i get always this if i start workbench

[desert escarp]

How are we meant to get the radios of other players

SCR_GadgetManagerComponent gadgetManager = SCR_GadgetManagerComponent.GetGadgetManager(entity);
ref array<SCR_GadgetComponent> gadgets = gadgetManager.GetGadgetsByType(EGadgetType.RADIO);

This gives me nothing

GetItems and GetAllItems from SCR_InventoryStorageManagerComponent also give me nothing

He definitely has a radio in his inventory

All this works when I am calling it locally on myself but whenever I try it on another player it does not get the other players radios

ChimeraWorld world = GetGame().GetWorld();
        world.GetRadioManager().GetTransceiversInRange(SCR_PlayerController.GetLocalControlledEntity().GetOrigin(), 10, radios);

and this just crashes my game

: ))))))

[kind widget]

SCR_InventoryStorageManagerComponent invMgr = SCR_InventoryStorageManagerComponent.Cast(
            charEnt.FindComponent(SCR_InventoryStorageManagerComponent)
        );
        if (!invMgr) return null;
    
        array<IEntity> found = {};
        array<typename> comps = { BaseRadioComponent };
        invMgr.FindItemsWithComponents(found, comps, EStoragePurpose.PURPOSE_ANY);

maybe something like this? Definitely not efficient but it works

[kind widget]

Are you trying to do this on client?

[kind widget]

It should work on client but I’m not sure

[desert escarp]

As in the radio entity does not appear at all

Like it's not tracked with the inventory of another client

This works fine if it's called on the entity the client is controlling

Any other entities besides itself it does not find any of the radios

And just the radios

Ah I see

For some reason radios in the inventory of other players are not within our replication bubbles

[wooden cape]

[desert escarp]

Or don't exist at all for the other clients

One of the two

[dire sinew]

Stop trying to do your handlings on clients. Really don't understand why you still insist doing it that way.

[desert escarp]

I'm opening up a UI that needs to see what frequency the other players radio is on. No real way I can open a ui on the server and show it to the player.

[dire sinew]

Yes, but the data should be compiled by the server, not the client.

Basically, client should do request and server sends the data back so you can create the UI afterwards.

[desert escarp]

How do I send data from the server to the client

Rpcs dont give back values

Oh I guess I could broadcast owner

[dire sinew]

Yeah, owner RPC that opens the UI with the given data.

[desert escarp]

That's smart, appreciate it

Still kind of silly that radios and radios only are not replicated in an inventory

[dire sinew]

You will always get burned by replicated entities outside of your replication bubble not existing. Only the server has knowledge of everything all the time.

[desert escarp]

No but this radio is right next to me

Like its an action on another player

It should be in my bubble

This isn't a bubble issue this is the radio does not exist on the client

Well I guess it is but it shouldn't be

[dire sinew]

Yeah, some replicated entities don't have proxies to begin with (i.e. never exist on other clients). Though the only one I was aware of so far are player controllers.

One of the reasons I'm hoping we'll get world controllers sooner than later, as you have the option to have proxies on all clients for stuff like RplProps.

[craggy jolt]

What if we had a flag\option inside EntitySpawnParams to avoid spawning prefab magazines? I get that "magazines" are way too specific for a broad term like "entity", but I don't know where else would be better.

One option I always wanted in RV is spawning a vehicle without inventory items and I also would find a use for it here in Enfusion.

[pliant ingot]

What's wrong with gamemode? it have proxies on all clients, and you can't play without it normally

[torn bane]

Definetly not on those params, that is way too specific for it. But I can imagine adding a static flag somewhere for inventory to avoid spawning cargo type attachments. i have to see how to solve it, as e.g. a modular vehicle with some slots still wants those to be addded, but not the cargo inside some compartment.

[minor agate]

Its a hack done on an entity

Makes no sense the gamemode is an entity within the physical worldx that has transforms and many other things

• plethora of other complications because of it being an entity on engine.

[minor agate]

Assume. At all times that nothing is replicated unless needed

Replicating entities and components all the time to users that do not need it is mega wasteful

And leads to explosion on bandwith usage + performance issues as that has to be processed as well

Also as kex said, stop doing rpl auth stuff on client

Do it on server, it will be better overall. And safer against hackers and cheaters

It will also make yout life easier

[minor agate]

anyway @desert escarp, may the enfusion god of suffering and despair be gentle on you.
The VoN and related are quite hard coded, and non controllable so you will have many issues.

[ocean kernel]

Yeah I gave up on that bs pretty quickly

[dire sinew]

Also talking about states that are per player like their position for map markers or positions they ping or whatever.

[fervent cedar]

hopefully all the people having trouble with VON modding will
help reforger 2 get better VON with more modding and scripting support

[craggy locust]

👋
Hello, i was wondering, what would be the best way to hide / show the RIS rail on my gun. That would depend on if the RIS optics slot would be occupied.

I tried to look into the scripting for this but havent figured out what would be the best approach, have it in one .xob, or separate mesh? Please help.

[gleaming shard]

Would love to use Cutscene for a singleplayer mission im building - but stupid Q, how do one use this (if Im not big on scripting)

[maiden goblet]

@minor agate Is it possible to use this https://enfusionengine.com/api/redirect?to=enfusion://ResourceManager/~core:scripts/Core/generated/System/PixelRawData.c PixelRawData to set texture pixels from script, or only to read?

[minor agate]

Could you elaborate?

[maiden goblet]

Say I generate an image pixel by pixel, can I write those pixels into a texture that's used in a material?

[minor agate]

Only on render target as texture, but that wil be quite expensive. In that case you would also better do a CanvasWidget for the texture

IF you want to use it otherwise, you would have to create a texture, save it to disk and use it.

Which is only possible on PC afaik, and quite slow

[maiden goblet]

slow is ok, but PC only 😦 I have some fun thing in Unreal generates pretty skyboxes for a procedural galaxy, thought it would be fun to try same in Reforger

[minor agate]

Could be done with the render target as texture with canvas widget

That would work on all, and is faster than creating image to disk and reading it

[neon elbow]

It's pretty simple.

1. Take the name of your scene entity and put it into the attribute input called "Entity Name".
2. After you set up the trigger activation type,
3. and class filter,
   it should play once a character enters the sphere

If you don't know how to make a cutscene, look up "ARMA REFORGER CINEMATIC TUTORIAL FULL (2025)" by CebCine.
If you're completely new to scripting.... it might be easier if you just pm'd me

[neon elbow]

If you want to know what good cinematics look like, check out the mod "Rookie" by Sarge studios. They use the Scenario frame work to get their cutscenes working.

[minor agate]

[thick arch]

Hey, is there any way to detect any decal textures applied to the player model through scripts?

(lets say a player was very close to a explosion and the explosion texture gets applied to the player, how would one detect this/remove this?)

this clip shows it, at a bit past the 4second mark a invisible player is given a black sooty texture due to them being too close to a explosion

https://www.youtube.com/clip/Ugkxc2nNgK_sYq2LWyETDhnIpE-C_A1ECppB

[earnest raptor]

How is the seating position for a turret determined?

[ionic pewter]

anyone know where/how to find the scripts that calls these functions when right clicking on actionsmanager?

[dire sinew]

SCR_BaseCompartmentManagerComponent on the turret prefab.

[open pier]

Never hurts to search up the string itself to see if it's hard coded in somewhere, or parts of the string

[mossy field]

Is there a way to implement this pattern in enfusion script (not using enums)?
https://refactoring.guru/design-patterns/state

[minor agate]

I usggest you avoid this pattern in code in general (outside of enforce script too)

But yeah you can

[mossy field]

why avoid?

[minor agate]

Its generally super bad for performance

You see it more common in UI web frameworks ngl

But for games, or anywhere where performance matters. It causes insane indirection

But yes, it is possible to do this pattern in enforce script

[sour marten]

how we can check if player or AI is not death

m_CharacterController = SCR_CharacterControllerComponent.Cast(pOccupant.FindComponent(CharacterControllerComponent));
if (m_CharacterController && m_CharacterController.!IsDead())
{
do something
return;
}

i noticed ! .isDead() is not allowed

a i found it if (m_CharacterController && !m_CharacterController.IsDead())

[mossy field]

whats a good way to manage state without switch-case-enum hell?

[calm cobalt]

need help with enfusion / RHS
im trying to make thermal works with ads. when “use thermal” is ticked you cant ads with any weapon at all. how can i modify that and or where and what do i change to make thermal compatible with ads

[fringe prairie]

Those use a library which does the hell, Enfusion doesn’t do that much hand holding for stuff like this, what is desired outcome?

[minor agate]

Main issue is developing thinking of state

Rather than the behaviors driving instances to those states

[vernal moat]

hey @minor agate o/
can you confirm that those will be properly GC when the chimera gets GC

 // --- Register vehicle compartment event handlers
SCR_ChimeraCharacter chimeraPlayer = SCR_ChimeraCharacter.Cast(entity);
SCR_CompartmentAccessComponent baseCompartmentAccessComp = SCR_CompartmentAccessComponent.Cast(chimeraPlayer.FindComponent(SCR_CompartmentAccessComponent));
baseCompartmentAccessComp.GetOnCompartmentLeft().Insert(OnCompartmentLeft);
baseCompartmentAccessComp.GetOnCompartmentEntered().Insert(OnCompartmentEntered);
baseCompartmentAccessComp.GetOnPlayerCompartmentEnter().Insert(OnPlayerEnterCompartment);
baseCompartmentAccessComp.GetOnPlayerCompartmentExit().Insert(OnPlayerExitCompartment);

but those wont ?

EventHandlerManagerComponent eventHandlerManager = EventHandlerManagerComponent.Cast(entity.FindComponent(EventHandlerManagerComponent));
if (eventHandlerManager)
{
    eventHandlerManager.RegisterScriptHandler("OnProjectileShot", this, OnProjectileShot);
    eventHandlerManager.RegisterScriptHandler("OnGrenadeThrown", this, OnGrenadeThrown);
}

[teal vapor]

Random q but I recall watching a video that described enfusion's task system and how it figures out dependencies between components (like particle effects depending on another effect system). Does anyone happen to know the video I'm thinking of?

[spark otter]

Don't bother, the task system has had a complete rework as of 1.5 experimental. Still waiting for the docs!

[teal vapor]

nah it wasn't anything deeply technical / tutorial-oriented, more about how the engine has modernized in general

[ocean needle]

how would i go about editing the values in the m_aNameOfObjectsToSpawnOnActivation array using the world editor api?

this causes an error

array<ref ContainerIdPathEntry> fin0_spawn0 = CreateContainerPath("m_aActionsOnFinished[0]/m_aActions[0]/m_aNameOfObjectsToSpawnOnActivation");
api.SetVariableValue(comp, fin0_spawn0, "0", string.Format("Air_Art_%1", taskIndex));

WORLD (E): SetVariableValue - Property called: m_aNameOfObjectsToSpawnOnActivation is not OBJECT type

i can do this

array<ref ContainerIdPathEntry> fin0_spawn0 = CreateContainerPath("m_aActionsOnFinished[0]/m_aActions[0]");
string spawnList = string.Format("\"Air_Art_%1\" \"Defend_TaskArea_%1\"", taskIndex);
api.SetVariableValue(comp, fin0_spawn0, "m_aNameOfObjectsToSpawnOnActivation", spawnList);

but that puts the "list" in the first entry/sets the array to only one entry

so i guess my question is if theres a way to properly represent those arrays in a string?

i just needed a comma and no extra quotes

[spark otter]

I just saw you mentioned the task system, and I had a mod that pretty much had to be completely rewritten for the 1.5 task system.

[mossy field]

is it possible to rename a project if I already published to workshop previous versions

Hello!
Please, help me.

I have a code that should trigger the greeting sound on the character if you use this action.

In single player mode - it works. In Multiplayer on a dedicated server it does not work.

I get this error -

[serene fox]

SCR_SoundManagerEntity will no longer exists in Reforger 1.5. You can use SCR_CommunicationSoundComponent on the Character and RPL the event

[spark otter]

Pretty sure that error only pops up if you have the world editor open

[pliant ingot]

There is no multiple inheritance at all. Prefer to use composition.

[analog python]

why wasnt this in the patch notes?

This is also new:

/*!
SCR_SoundManagerModule is created for playing simple one-shot sounds without need of SoundComponent on given entity.
SCR_SoundManagerModule is not present on console app.
If functions in SCR_SoundManagerModule are enough for given sound, prioritize it befor adding SoundComponent on the entity.
If entity already has SoundComponent because of some other sound, do not use SCR_SoundManagerModule.
Do not use SCR_SoundManagerModule for UI sounds.
Do not use SCR_SoundManagerModule for managing looped sounds. Looped sounds always need SoundComponent to work properly
Signals for given sound can be set only before the playback and is not possible to update them during the sound playback.

Hey guys, need help...I have made predefined groups in my faction for my server, but people can rename those in game or when they left that team, the name of the predefined group and its description dissaphered...And also I have still callsign Atlas Red 1 etc. which I would like to delete or change...because in the radio settings its not showing the name of the group, but callsign from ArmA, which is Atlas Red...and I dont know how to change it.
Ping me with anwers, thank you

[fringe prairie]

Are you sure the entire faction config is set up correctly?

IIRC there is another layer there but could be wrong.

[open pier]

How can I register a system? Docs say to specify GetSystemPoint to my need but can't seem to find how/where to use that

[olive elbow]

Does anyone have any resources on how I can setup a dedicated test server with custom mods without needing to upload them?

[red inlet]

Pretty sure this is covered in the replication bootcamp video series on YT

https://youtu.be/asWxIIHT6d0?si=N7kfcalOs-SUpsLu

It's either this one or the advanced one which is next in the playlist

[olive elbow]

I'll have a look through that, thanks!

[tacit flower]

I hope so, I was following those tutorials from Bohemia, some on the YouTube and just been trying to setup it just right, but been stuck with this

[ionic pewter]

I wanted to make a component to make be able to switch power transfer to axles so you can make vehicles have 4wd and 2wd, maybe difflock too but focuse now is the torque share parameters here that gives powers to the wheels. However ive tried a couple of approaches to do this with no luck.
So does anyone know how to access differential TorqueShare parameters through VehicleWheeledSimulation scripting? Or alternative methods to achive this?

[torn bane]

Just a small heads up, while this config still says which systems are active (and there will be more specifics configs inheriting from it in 1.6 btw), in the near future the rest of the configuration regarding server/client and system points will be removed. what matters is defined via code in the systems initinfo method. you will get a warning in console if they mismatch.

[red cedar]

Hey, how expensive is it to have the Hierachy component to an entity with ~100 children entity to it ?

The reason why I 'need' it is that this "outpost" is spawned in via Script and despawned later on, unless there is a better way to do it that i am not aware of...

Thanks in advance !

[ocean kernel]

might be a frame and networking hiccup if you spawn them all in 1 frame but otherwise should be fine

[red cedar]

we do spawn this outpost all at once. it's just a "pretty big prefab"

Knowing that only one of these prefab and it'll respawn every ~20-40 ish minutes do you think it'll be a pretty huge deal or not ?

And the fact that players will most likely be decently far away from this prefab at the time of the spawn will it help reduce this potential lag spike ?

[ocean kernel]

I mean you could test it

[red cedar]

from a "visual" observation it feels like the prefab do not spawn all at once

feels like it's taking ~100-200ms to spawn(in the workbench) and that there is some kind of queuing. i wonder if the replication takes care of splitting the spawn to not overload the network.

(could just be my slow ass laptop struggling to load it all at once)

[red cedar]

Is there a proper way to make the AI spawn above this terrain ?

Regardless of if i add some height to the spawn param or snap it to geometry they seem to always spawn below that "fake terrain".. like as their pos is snapped to the actual terrain after they spawn.

vector newPos = vector.Zero;
        array<IEntity> excludedEntities = {};
        SCR_TerrainHelper.SnapToGeometry(newPos, m_vPosition, excludedEntities);     

        EntitySpawnParams spawnParams = new EntitySpawnParams();
        spawnParams.TransformMode = ETransformMode.WORLD;
        
        vector mat[4];
        Math3D.MatrixIdentity4(mat);
        mat[3] = newPos; 
        spawnParams.Transform = mat;
        
        
        IEntity aiGroupEntity = GetGame().SpawnEntityPrefab(prefabResource, GetGame().GetWorld(), spawnParams);

(last pic is the position of m_vPosition which is already above the spawn location of the prefab)

[solid hearth]

There's an option on the group that dictates whether or not they snap to terrain height

Never found a solution via script to ignore it. Option is enabled by default on all groups as far as I could tell when I ran into the issue.

[red cedar]

Ok. That’s really useful to know. Thanks a lot

[serene fox]

Hey, what is the correct way to get the playerIdent in EXP 1.5?

Even though it's marked as obsolete in 1.5, the old way still works for now.

But yeah that's the kind of info that is essential for modders, would be nice to get docs before experimental is pushed to stable. Otherwise how are we to get our mods ready, which is the point of making experimental available to modders.

[solid hearth]

They may mark it later when its set to deprecated on what to use.

At least that's what they've done with previously deprecated functions.

[spark otter]

They didn't do that with the task system because it got a complete rewrite, that took me almost two weeks to figure out how to do what I needed to. I was told to wait for the docs, which still are not available almost a month later.

Welcome to the world of BI

[spark otter]

Yeah, it's frustrating. Point being, docs for modders in experimental to help them get their mods ready would be a huge help. If the identity id getter does in fact become obsolete, it's going to break a lot of mods. So I hope someone does answer r34p3rs question above.

Afternoon

please could someone help me how do I script this into a component I just need a dropdown menu with the add and minus feature.

I dont know what this is called.

[solid hearth]

[Attribute("", UIWidgets.Auto)]
protected array<int> m_aMyListOfInts;

[dire sinew]

Don't forget the ref 👀

[desert escarp]

Forgetting that ref has led to an embarrassing amount of hours debugging

[sleek dove]

I think this is because replacement is not yet done in actual experimental, will be done later

[solid hearth]

Is a ref needed for when the array is just ints?

[serene fox]

ty

[sleek dove]

yes

array is an object that needs to keep referenced somewhere

[solid hearth]

https://tenor.com/view/the-more-you-know-gif-19118236

[lime dew]

Many Thanks !!!! What about a ref, I'm new to scripting ?

[solid hearth]

If you read above you should add ref to it so protected ref array<int> asdfgdfhsg;

[slow acorn]

Any ideas to debug why the GM menu (EditorMenuUI) is randomly closing in multiplayer? I tried adding Debug.DumpStack() all over the place and it didn't help

[lime dew]

Ah got you.

Thanks Tonic !

[open pier]

Essentially don't use ref until workbench yells at you that it's missing

[pliant ingot]

Use ref until WB tells you not to use it, or until you understand where and when to use it, otherwise you'll be f*cked by debugging

[open pier]

And that'd be any array, map or Json class being made/referenced at the top level of a class? I just write until it tells me to add it for the most part and haven't went wrong so far

[solid hearth]

pull a bacon and ref the ref

[ocean kernel]

I'm not allowed to talk about scripting anymore

[solid hearth]

[open pier]

I'll always use you as a ref don't worry

Printing EntityID on linux dedicated server gives me weird result like 0x0x40000000000049d8.
In workbench or when running via windows dedicated server tool in AR Tools, it gives me correct string like 0x40000000000049d8.
What's wrong?

[dire sinew]

Already reported: https://feedback.bistudio.com/T188436

[kind widget]

Ah, thanks
It's even worse than I thought

[analog python]

[minor agate]

What are you trying to use it for?

If its for identifying entities from server and client then dont. It will not be deterministic there regardless of OS environment

[safe geode]

Yo

What formats are Reforger's PlayerId's in?

And are they unique to each player

I assume it changes between PS, Xbox and PC users

[dire sinew]

Depends on what kind of entity you are dealing with. For map entities, it's fine #enfusion_scripting message

[pliant ingot]

It's not just "always use ref for type X", sometimes you need to use ref, sometimes it will be better to not use ref (and even use Class instead of Managed). But while you don't understand when and where to do this - use ref (if type allows it) and your reference will never be null at random (for newbie) moment.

I see few peoples who don't understand it and ask me what the hell is going on and in most cases answer was "missing ref"

[safe geode]

I'll assume no-one knows, cause Google sure af doesn't lol

[dire sinew]

Like what? You can see that the return type is integer

The server just gives each player an index. Not that complicated.

[safe geode]

Noooo, I mean the uid

Not server one

I can only test with PC is the issue

So I don't know if xbox or ps have different uid structures

[dire sinew]

Don't think so. Pretty sure Overthrow uses player UIDs for storing player related data.

[safe geode]

Cool

Cheers guv

Making a web interface for stuff so needed to check I can rely on the uid easily

[dire sinew]

They are just stored as string from what I remember.

How to change object color without creating a new material, for example for a Backpack?

[solid hearth]

They're the same on all platforms, if they weren't they'd have a seriously hard time with their own stuff. They're unique to the "account" playing so on PC it's the steam account or whatever other platform its on, on consoles i'm not fully sure how that works but for the most part its tied to the XBL/PSN account but they have sub-accounts or something that cause it to change..?

[open pier]

Yee my lack of understanding of it is truly why I don't use it until workbench tells me to

[safe geode]

Cool, cheers Tonic, thought that would be the case, but you never know haha

Was confident with the PC uid but not consoles

[ocean kernel]

They're the same on all platforms except for when you download a spoofer on PC

[fringe prairie]

It depends, seems like every account is assigned one by bohemia, unless of course you link two accounts to one bohemia account (like xbox and steam), in which those identities irrevocably merge together, even if you unlink and link to different bohemia accounts

[minor agate]

Unless you print it, it should work fine

[minor agate]

Ok so runtime ents

These will be non deterministic

So they might not match on client vs server

But if you care about only server, then it should be fine

[kind widget]

It's ok, i use it only on server. Just want to compare damageSource's entity IDs when OnEffect fires

[minor agate]

Yeah i always warn because people try to use it for both all the time then run into issues

You can also tun into issues when using loadtime map entities

If you are using it in wb + peertool for example

Wb will cache them and then it will mismatch with the client

Which is why sometimes you have go restart wb to make your stuff work if it relies on that

Or restart WE

May i ask for some help, to get the Override materials form a Prefab?
BaseLoadoutClothComponent

   WornMaterialsOverride {
    "{60DCA03734C7B78C}Assets/Characters/Textures/UV6_Helmet/UV6_ACU_HELMET.emat"
   }

i tryed:

        // Get override Materials from prefab 
        Resource resource = Resource.Load(owner.GetPrefabData().GetPrefabName());
        BaseContainer prefab = resource.GetResource().ToBaseContainer();
        
        BaseContainerList mats = prefab.GetObjectArray("WornMaterialsOverride");        
        for(int i = 0; i < mats.Count(); i++) {
            m_aOverrideMaterials.Insert(mats.Get(i).ToString());
            Print(m_aOverrideMaterials[i]);
        }

[ionic pewter]

Ive tried to make a modded component, and the class isnt sealed, so not sure how to go forward about this if anyone could point me in the right direction 😅

[river imp]

TResourceNameArray WornOverrides = new TResourceNameArray();
ClothComponentSource.Get("WornMaterialsOverride", WornOverrides);

[spark otter]

If I use KickPlayer() with reason ban, and timeout of -1, is that essentially a permanent ban? If so how would I remove that ban if I wanted to?

[serene fox]

Thanks mate

[neat valley]

Where can I find the resources to make a scripted event for AI helicopter?

[fringe prairie]

This only works if that prefab and not the one it inherits from has an override unfortunately. Also clothing uses multiple sources depending on mod, if it’s yours obviously you have control over it

[river imp]

In all cases, people should be inheriting from the base prefab and changing the material overrides. If they aren't that's on them.

[river imp]

Upon testing, If i inherit from a prefab that has material overrides I can still get them this way.

If they are removed in my inherited prefab, then of course I can't get them.

Because they don't exist.

[fringe prairie]

I might have been confused with getting an object's materials if the prefab doesn't have overrides

because if you import an object, make a prefab for it, the meshobject doesn't allow you to set an override if it is still the same material, but for basecloth component, it can still work

[river imp]

In the base cloth component, if the parent prefab has material overrides so does the child.

These don't work like most other things.

[spark otter]

The comment for KickPlayer() says it is a temp ban, so does that mean if I do a ban for -1, it will be undone when the server restarts?

sorry for at @torn bane but it seems so simple to being able to add a selective drive system to the game since everything is in here, like the ability to switch the willys jeeps drive train from 4wd to 2wd and there is also a difflock feature and all that could be used to make more in-depth vehicle controls and driving. Why isnt it? ive been trying to find a way to edit this myself but cant find any relevance to the "torque share"

[coarse pine]

I have been wishing for many of those features to be exposed to script for years now.
I just want to be able to change differentials and gear ranges during runtime to actually make offroad driving interesting.

[zenith coral]

Could you tell me your secrets on how to do good navmesh

[minor agate]

If you were using Physics API then that would stop working at all in a future update, also @undone patrol

It's being moved to it's own sim component

you should have the control there after that

It will be in a modding update so you will know how

[undone patrol]

🫡

[zenith coral]

So how does one do navmesh

If that’s for this channel there are just too many it confuses me

[pliant ingot]

just open navmesh tool in WE and generate it

[zenith coral]

I tried that but it didn’t work I do choose like the soldiers option on it right?

[pliant ingot]

yes, and after you generate navmesh you need to select it in AIWorld entity in NavmeshComponent of your map

[zenith coral]

And that’s it?

Also thanks

[scarlet iris]

Can anyone help me? In offline single player, AI units don’t seem to "activate" on in it. They only start following waypoints once I—or the camera—move within roughly 600 meters of them. I assumed disabling LoD might fix it, but either I did it wrong or it simply has no effect in single player. On a dedicated server this problem doesn’t happen. If this isn’t related to LoD, what’s the proper fix?

Anyone know how to enable again the command truck extending range? I know it's from vanilla but I'm loading WCS and can't find where they changed that

I would hop on the WCS server and ask those guys.

It was probably done in a prefab and not from script. Which would make it a question for https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/976159689668722718

[minor agate]

From exp, as soon as you mention that you used AI or it is apparent you did. You get ignored in modding communities of any game

[maiden goblet]

I bet if you let loose an AI debugging agent on Reforger's codebase it could fix many crashes. There are so many, must be some low hanging fruit. That said it could just as easily waste your time hah.

[sudden bough]

Hello guys, i'm very new to enfusion scripting but i have a lot of experience in other games already, but no game has such a bad explanation and so few tutorials as arma has, is anyone here willing ot explain to me where to start and how i can do a simple script which triggers when a player is unscontious?

[fringe prairie]

Most scripting is hijacking events. Yes it’s unfortunate there isn’t a good searchable documentation, the outliner is really your only friend plus discord search. For stuff you need to start with “what handles this thing?” Probably a component on the character. Look at them and find one which seems to relate the most to what you are trying to do, then pull the thread on the yarn ball lol.

[sudden bough]

I get that, came to the same conclusion lol, but i feel like someone who already knows that could probaply way easier verbally explain this to me or show me than whatever time it takes me to learn it without (decent) docs myself, so i'm really hoping someone could do that.

[brittle ridge]

Sorry to interrupt the convo, don’t mean to hijack it. However, I can’t for the life of me figure this out.

We’ve had multiple players report crashing and share their crash logs. I myself have had these crashes as well, and upon loading back into the game, I’ll end up crashing shortly after. Typically, the third time does the trick and I’ll be good for a while until it happens again. In all of our logs, we notice this common denominator—

‘
Virtual Machine Exception

Reason: Division by zero

Class: 'SCR_MapEntity'
Entity name:'SCR_MapEntity1' id:3

Function: 'UpdateZoomBounds'
Stack trace:
scripts/Game/Map/SCR_MapEntity.c:1067 Function UpdateZoomBounds
scripts/Game/Map/SCR_MapEntity.c:345 Function OnMapOpen
scripts/Game/Map/SCR_MapEntity.c:1488 Function EOnFrame
‘

Along with this one to follow—

Virtual Machine Exception

Reason: Division by zero

Class: 'SCR_MapEntity'
Entity name:'SCR_MapEntity1' id:3

Function: 'SetZoom'

scripts/Game/Map/SCR_MapEntity.c:626 Function SetZoom

scripts/Game/Map/SCR_MapEntity.c:1497 Function EOnFrame

[fringe prairie]

This happens when trying to do anything too quickly with the map before it has been initialized, what mods are you running?

[brittle ridge]

I could go through the whole list if you’d like but for the sake of brevity, I think one of these could be the culprit. Pure speculation though—

•WCS_Settings
•WCS_TankMarkers
•Player Map Markers and Where Am I
•Coalition Squad Interface
•ACE Compass Dev

These mods touch the map UI, so that’s why I’m guessing one of these could be guilty. Although I will say, the crash doesn’t discriminate. Hardly ever do I crash when I open my map.

[fringe prairie]

The script could be triggering for a player which does not have their map open when another player opens their map. I would look into trying to find a way to reproduce it

[brittle ridge]

Yea, I need to. I’ve tried to replicate the issue in the past but no cigar.

I’m just curious as to why it causes double crashes, sometimes resulting in full system crashes.

[sour marten]

hej guys can someone give me some information i want to use a image in a script for the ingame map
i use the MapDescriptorProps for showing a little image on the map

i use the SetImageDef parameter

i make a own imageSet

how can i the Quadname of the image in the script

string myImageset = "{D9E84F7D13F926D0}UI/Imagesets/Dots.imageset";
string myImageQuad = "Red_DG_dot";

MapItem pointItem = mapEntity.CreateCustomMapItem();
if (!pointItem)
continue;

pointItem.SetBaseType(EMapDescriptorType.MDT_DEBUG_POINTS);

        pointItem.SetPos(x, y);
        pointItem.SetRange(1); 
        pointItem.SetVisible(true);
        
        MapDescriptorProps props = pointItem.GetProps();
        if (props)
        {
            //props.SetImageDef(myImageset);
            props.SetFrontColor(Color.Red);
            props.SetOutlineColor(Color.Red);
        }

i noticed the color does not change so thats why i want a own image and create a red dot for on the map
can someone give me a push 🙂 thanks already

[lime dew]

Thanks for the heads up!

For a beginner it helps a lot to understand what is going on.

The only thing AI did was fix some syntax issues and structuring on the sound component.

Everything else is written by me using other game scripts as a sample.

I looked at the flush toilet script and it is way harder to understand for a beginner.

After that I simply gave up on scripting the radio sound.

Script editor stores the best examples, try search for "RegisterScriptHandler" keyword, its add new script to events

[neon elbow]

Hey! Thanks for showing interest in scripting. We can always use more scripters. Yeah there isn't a whole lot of good beginner tutorials. But you should start with the examples here https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Category:Arma_Reforger/Modding/Scripting/Tutorials
Specifically the Component then the Entity examples.
Then read these files in the Enfusion Script Editor for some useful methods/functions (You don't need to memorize these, it's nice to know that they're there):
tools.c
Game.c (capital G)
game.c (lowecase G)
IEntity.c
BaseGameTriggerEntity
SCR_AIGroup.c
and CharacterControllerComponent.c
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As for your question. Player characters will have a CharacterControllerComponent component. In that component there's a boolean IsUnconscious() method that checks if the character is unconscious (lol) . You can start there.

[neon elbow]

Now, I have a question. How would I best go about filling an array with every player Id? I'm thinking a loop that goes from 0 to some number, and if the Id does not have a controller associated with it I stop the loop. Otherwise I add the integer to the array.

[valid anchor]

I actually had this exact thing, system failure, checked logs and both these same two errors at the time in crash logs. Nothing to note in console logs or other

[brazen thistle]

How do i attach a script to a interactive model.

For instance I have a ATM, I want users to hit F on it and it pop up a GUI.

I have read the docs but it doesn’t really explain all that well lol.

[fringe prairie]

The way I did it was via a dialog, what kind of GUI do you want? A menu I’m assuming?

[brazen thistle]

Yeah, ive tried adding “interaction component handler” or whatever its called but theres no option to link a actual script to it

Im not trying to release this mod, just playing around with stuff to learn modding in general

[fringe prairie]

I’d open it/close it via the player controller, that way it exists per player, and since player owns it they have authority to tell server what data is changing on it.
I think the GUI modding bootcamp does go over the interactivity of the menu itself

I think it’s as easy as adding script handler to widget desired

[brazen thistle]

Ah, yeah could be why my logs show something about a player controller lol

[topaz locust]

Can I request that the character movement speeds be added to the class CharacterCommandMoveSettings list? I'd like to make movement enhancing/limiting items without having to hard code a custom character with the settings manually or using the encumbrance system.

[calm wren]

Can local Entities be inserted into inventory? Or do i have to make them global ?

[brittle ridge]

I have a feeling it could be due to the presence of a hacker. The night I was experiencing repeated crashes, we had a couple hackers in the server. Last night, I didn’t have a single crash, and there weren’t any hackers. Something they inject in the scripts breaks things. I’m not 100% sure about this, just speculation

[topaz locust]

The method inside the second one looks like what you're looking for

[topaz locust]

Or at least, that variable is what you want to get

[abstract charm]

I mean why there are 2 of them? They are basically the same except first does not work, at least for me (it always return 0)

And I'm looking for a way to get entities in trigger, not amount of entities

[topaz locust]

The variable m_aEntitiesInside should be an array with all the entities inside the trigger listed for you

[topaz locust]

Try tracing the m_iCountInsideTrigger variable for the first one and see what actually uses that variable

[topaz locust]

You can either use that array variable or make your own array variable and have that GetEntitiesInside(array<IEntity> yourArrayVariableHere) method populate your array

[abstract charm]

Yes, but it is protected

[topaz locust]

Then use the method that populates it and use your own array

[topaz locust]

Look at BaseGameTriggerEntity for your needs

[abstract charm]

Ahh, here it is, thank you

how do I get a script defines working on a linux dedicated server without doing something super ugly like making a file called _.c (so it loads before everyone elses scripts) and throwing all my #defines in there?

[solid hearth]

Have you tried the launch param way?

i.e -scrDefine WL_DEBUG

[analog python]

I need it done via the mod, cant expect every server who wants to use the mod to have to mess with their launch options

also I think srcdefine makes a server refuse connections from non diag.exe

last time I checked

back in 1.2 or something

[solid hearth]

Well then idk hopefully someone else has an idea

[analog python]

I mean I got it working using my ugly way, I was just hoping maybe I can do it using the system I believe was intended for it lol

theres a PLATFORM_LINUX but I cant find where that is coming from, maybe I should just add an object called linux and see if it works

[late locust]

Why are the Tags modded in a vanilla script and why do I need to also add these values in my modded enum for it to not break vanilla code?

modded enum ETagCategory
{
    Metal = 8,
    Insect = 16,
    StaticTurret = 32,
}

[ocean kernel]

they are flags I guess

but so is EntityEvent, idk

nvm I forgot I'm not allowed to talk here

[minor agate]

Those configurations are for when building an addon (build -> pack)

[minor agate]

This is the importance of using BitFlag or LinearEnum decorator on the enums

Same old modding issues found in DayZ too from not using them

[late locust]

But this is the vanilla game code, so its missing there?

enum ETagCategory
{
    NameTag,
    Perceivable,
    Radio,
}

modded enum ETagCategory
{
    Metal = 8,
    Insect = 16,
    StaticTurret = 32,
}

[minor agate]

Yeah, it is not on your side

This code was done before i got those decorators to be introduced

It has to be updated

[late locust]

And why is this the only modded enum in the whole game code?

[minor agate]

Because it comes from CPP, and someone in scripts needed to add more to it

Modded can also be used by us

Its not a modder only thing

[late locust]

But then why not just add it to the base enum

[minor agate]

Because if i recall, this comes from engine

And you do not want to mix game project specific things to engine

[late locust]

I see

[torn bane]

Those are only supported in a future version

[ocean needle]

// m_vRotMat is set OnInit: Math3D.AnglesToMatrix(owner.GetAngles(), m_vRotMat);

SCR_Math3D.RotateAround(m_vRotMat, owner.GetOrigin(), rotAxis, pitchDeg * Math.DEG2RAD, rotOut);

owner.SetAngles(Math3D.MatrixToAngles(rotOut));

this only rotates my entity around the correct axis if its pointing north or south how can i fix that?

well its actually just wrong most of the time

fixed it using quats, still just as confused but it works

[fervent cedar]

Ye, would be nice to get more helper functions for 3d positioning and rotating.
It's confusing and takes long time for many people, common struggle

[pliant ingot]

Doesn't the entity have functions to get and set the matrix directly?

[ocean needle]

yeah theres [Get/Set]WorldTransform which is what im using now

but i was doing stuff to the position separately in the same place during debugging and i barely know what im doing here so its messy

[pliant ingot]

Converting matrix to Euler angles and back - is weird

[ocean needle]

yup had many times where i hit play and it just started doing some crazy backflips

[spark otter]

Trying to work out where the prefabs are populated for the campaign building mode. Anyone have a clue?

[dire sinew]

Depends for what. For vehicles and groups it's the same configs as for GM, as you can add a whitelist to entries for which editor modes they are available. As for structures, it's Compositions_FreeRoamBuilding.conf, but you probably already used that one before for your extended conflict structures mod.

[spark otter]

I think Im getting closer! Im trying to attach the building mode to the MHQ to allow both fortifications (which is working fine) and one small modded vehicle to be spawned. The trouble is I dont want all vehicles to be spawnable. Now I'm trying to figure out how to determine if the building mode was entered from the MHQ, so I can then manually filter out the unwanted vehicles. However, the owner for the building mode seems to be the game mode 😢

[simple rampart]

Cross post from generic: Hi all, I'm trying to work out how to make a modification to the PlayerManager class in Enfusion but the only thing I can find seems to be a header file PlayerManager.c. If you could @ me in your response just in case I miss is that would be appreciated ❤️

[spark otter]

But I guess the answer to my earlier question is SCR_EntityCatalog and SCR_EntityCatalogEntry. The building mode seems to use cs SCR_EntityCatalogManagerComponent.GetFilteredEditorPrefabs() however the heavy vehicle depot uses ```cs
SCR_CatalogEntitySpawnerComponent.AddAssetsFromCatalog()

[dire sinew]

You cannot modify this class.

[river imp]

You beat me to it lol

[dire sinew]

Yeah, seems that you can only whitelist tabs, but not blacklist certain editable entity labels...

[simple rampart]

Can I make a child class that inherits from it and overrides some of its methods?

[dire sinew]

No, but what the heck are you even trying to accomplish?

[spark otter]

I just realized that if the vehicle depots are the owner normally, then if the game mode is the owner I can probably assume its then the MHQ! 😎

[simple rampart]

I just want to override the functionality of GetPlayerName to return a custom value. I believe there is at least one mod that allows for custom names but it doesn't play nice with other mods. Overriding this would mean anything relying on get player name like squad compass would get a custom name

[river imp]

generated classes can't be modded and external functions can't be overwritten

Even if you could inherit and override some methods, you wouldn't be able to override the method to get the player manager from the game.

ChimeraGame::GetPlayerManager is external.

You'd then be forced to replaced every call of getting the playername in every script

And if there is anything engine side that calls it you'd be SOL

[simple rampart]

Yep, but I only wanted to replace it in one and I would have just made compats of the mods locally if there were new mods I wanted to override that functionality in

I have another solution but it is less elegant I think 🤔

I appreciate the help though ❤️

[spark otter]

Turns out I was mistaken and the game mode is always the owner. So I need to figure out how to determine where the building mode was entered from.

[dire sinew]

Why not trying to expand the component with an editable entity label blacklist?

[spark otter]

well the main issue now is trying to figure out where the action was called from, the MHQ truck, or a vehicle depot.

probably have to use Rpc's as the action is local only

Not really sure how to connect SCR_CampaignBuildingStartUserAction and SCR_EntityCatalogManagerComponent

I guess I could use the game mode!

[spark otter]

That worked!

[minor agate]

You can override external proto methods if they have the event keyword added to it.

[river imp]

I forgot to mention that, thanks.

[minor agate]

In future you will also be able to mod generated classes

But you wont be able to override non event generated proto or external methods

That will stay locked

[river imp]

I recall you mentioning that script invokers are probably going away

What would they be replaced with?

[minor agate]

On AR they will stay

[minor agate]

Newer proper and robust event system

[open pier]

Will there be an event system in AR that we can use that'll be like in A4?

[marble ridge]

Are you talking about the 506th IRRU custom name mod?

[simple rampart]

Ho ho ho, exactly what I'm looking for. Must have my local version pinned rather than being on latest. I appreciate the heads up 🙌

[marble ridge]

Yeah we didnt want to have CSI as a dependency, but unfortunately due to Enfusion's race condition only one mod can fight for control of GetName()

So we had to end up modding CSI aswell

[ocean breach]

I keep running into the problem that I cant get/set different properties of Components that are exposed through the editor, for example the type of bullet inside a magazine. I can get the Magazine from a weapon, but there doesn't seem to be a way to determine what ammunition it uses. Does anyone have any idea how one might be able to access these properties?

[fringe prairie]

So compile order can potentially fix this, I imagine there are other ways potentially to go about this as well, like on the CSI side with just returning super for that so it would conflict the least, like if name is not set on CSI, let another mod set it.

Getters, you cannot set these. They are handled by the magazine config which is hardcoded via the .conf files. no changing via script

You can read any property from BaseContainer: https://github.com/acemod/ACE-Anvil/blob/5fd26b6a09ab19a8a4173b467645b62044e44cb7/addons/cookoff/scripts/Game/ACE_CookOff/Helpers/ACE_CookOff_HelperEntity.c#L86

[ocean breach]

Interesting, I’ll look into it

[minor agate]

Just beware that you do not have permission to feed AI our script code.

[ocean breach]

Thank you for this, I've got it working properly. Two more questions though: Is it possible to modify these values on a componenrt at runtime? My understanding is that the BaseContainer basically only contains the data for the prefab, so not "up-to-date" data, meaning SetObject won't change an object at runtime. Also do you know if it's possible to obtain the currently chambered round? My only way would be to get the current AmmoCount-1 and use that to find the round from the MagazineConfig.

[torn bane]

They must have already ingested some data, given how chatgpt knows enfusion script and can hallucinate bullshit with modded keyword etc. maybe it was from dayz standalone ... oh well ... imagine respecting creators choice. Learn now, get sued and called into congress later I guess

[mossy spade]

This frequently fails in Workbench because that component holds a singleton handle which it never refreshes, and this of course starts to cause random issues because editor VM is shared with "play mode" and never reset. Basically a vanilla bug.

Add this as a band-aid:

modded class SCR_SupportStationManagerComponent : ScriptComponent
{
    protected static SCR_SupportStationManagerComponent s_Instance;

    override void OnPostInit(IEntity owner)
    {
        s_Instance = this;
        super.OnPostInit(owner);
    }
}

What an annoying issue. Thanks for helping me out! Ripped out my hair more than once on that specific problem and could never solve it.

[open pier]

Has therr been any recent changes to how the PlayerController works? We have a profile for players that is on their PlayerController which includes money. It worked initially where players money would save/load/update if depositing or withdrawing money, now it doesn't seem to update or save their money when doing a transaction.

If you withdraw money and relog, you have the money you withdrew and the balance before the withdrawal in your bank account.

A few weeks ago it worked as it should.

Disregard, with all my glorious intellect, I found out that you need to put "await player.save()" at the end of your function, to actually have it update the database

Anyone know what's the best way to start scripting in enfusion when I've never had any experience with it?

[modern marlin]

Hi All. I'm just starting with some scripting. I'm attempting to subclass SCR_ScriptedEntity and I'm getting : Unknown type 'SCR_ScriptedEntity' My project has the main ArmaReforger dependency 58D0FB3206B6F859 but I can't seem to get it to recognise this SCR_ class. Do i need to do anthing special to fix this? ( chatGpt has been suggesting I add the dependency that I already believe I have). Thanks.

[open pier]

Trying to do something like
ZEN_ScriptedEntity : SCR_ScriptedEntity
{}

So your custom class is inheriting from it?

[modern marlin]

Yeah exactly. I feel like I've not imported something correctly but it's not super clear from the docs I've seen. If i search inside the ArmaReforger dependencies i see plenty of SCR_ files but not SCR_Entity so I'm also thinking perhaps chatgpt is sending me off on a wild goose chase based on some old API version or something.

[modern marlin]

... after telling chatgpt my exact version it now reveals to me that class no longer exists. Sigh...

[fringe prairie]

ChatGPT is not a good source for this, it tends to hallucinate Arma 3 SQF lol

What is your desired end result?

[open pier]

Yeah, like agent zero asked what's your goal here? Share code if possible

[modern marlin]

Goal is simply to setup an entity so just looking for the correct approach. I think I've got it now that Ive fixed chatgpt's hallucination. I'm now using GenericEntity which seems to be fine.

[verbal cloak]

im new to tools just wondering if anyone know how to setup cars in map creation because i cant find anything online

[teal vapor]

for sure -- I guess I meant for actually seeing how a mod hooks existing functionality and whatnot

[open pier]

Place a GenericEntity on the map, create a class that inherits from the GenericEntity.

Zen_GenericEntity : GenericEntity {}

Compile your code.

In the world editor, right click on the entity, in the resource browser, and change class to the one you just made. Then you can do your overrides as needed. Don't forget to create a class constructor. I've found that without it the entity won't initialize. Mainly an override to the EOnInit or OnInit or Init(im on my phone rn so unsure which one it exactly is) along with a SetEventMask(EventMask.Init) in the constructor is a good way to start having your entity 'run'. From there, look at docs and just how certain things are scripted from the base game. ie something that is doing something relative in the base game that you want to try to do.

With figuring out the event mask, the workbench helps a ton. Just write
SetEventMask(EventMask.

And the workbench will generate some auto completes for that specific enum.

Again, im on my phone so what I write my look like some chatgpt "there but not exactly correct", im just going off if memory.

[modern marlin]

Thanks for the detailed response. I'll try this out next time i get a chance.

I am using Enfusion Persistent Framework respawn system, How do I make sure the faction manager counts the player into the assigned faction ?

I have only one player in the scenario it has the correct assigned faction but doesn't get counted, I have tried multiple scripts and it still doesn't work, this has been an issue for a few months, If anyone can help PLEASE let me know.

[torn bane]

Wait fora game update which replaces my mod with built in functionality. this case is handled there. it should be the next major exp one if all goes well. We will see

[lime dew]

I hope so I am at ends wit with this.

[open pier]

Will you be keeping your mod up after this is added in? Also for those using EPF, will the data be easily transferable from EPF to base game persistence?

[torn bane]

I will probably ensure EPF keeps what ever functionality it has now for a few months. I will not add anything new. Transition is not really hard but requires touching everything. The idea of extracting save data and applying it back is still there so it's not hard to transition I would imagine.

[polar patrol]

Hello guys, does anyone know if it's possible to make hand logic in Arma.r like in the game Bodycam? Without creating animations for it, p.s I don't know how to make them. So here's an interesting question: we have the character's hands and they have bones, we can work with the bones through setbone, but setbone works in a confusing way, and as I checked, if you set the weapon rotation logic through setbone, the animation will be clunky and frame-by-frame. set/offset also doesn't work as we can only change the position of the hands in the offset but can't rotate them (maybe I haven't fully explored the option with offsets, but still, if anyone knows how to do this, please help

How can I detect when a character is being controlled by a human player?

[ocean needle]

SCR_CharacterHelper has static bool IsAPlayer(IEntity entity)

or static bool IsPlayerOrAIOwner(notnull ChimeraCharacter character, out bool isAi = false) in the same class if thats what you mean

[scarlet iris]

Thank you. I can't get it to work not sure what I am doing wrong.

Here's a script that adds a magazine to inventory when the character reloads, and it works fine but I can't make it apply only to AI. since this component is attached to Base Character Prefab, all characters have this feature. I want to make the feature only for AI with an optional checkbox to allow players to use it but no matter what I do it keeps detecting players as characters in general. any ideas? would greatly appreciate it.

[scarlet iris]

a bit hacky but I managed to solve it by modding the SCR_PlayerController to disable the Infinite Mags component on player entities. Works great now. thank you for your help!

[ocean needle]

post init seems to be too early still to detect if its a player, this should work

        m_WpnMan = BaseWeaponManagerComponent.Cast(owner.FindComponent(BaseWeaponManagerComponent));
        if (!m_WpnMan)
            return;

        GetGame().GetCallqueue().Call(EE_InfiniteMagsInit, owner);
    }

            return;
            
        SCR_ECharacterControlType controlType = SCR_CharacterHelper.GetCharacterControlType(owner);
        if (controlType == SCR_ECharacterControlType.AI)
            m_bIsValidCharacter = true;
        
        if (compClass.m_bAllowPlayers && SCR_CharacterHelper.IsAPlayer(owner))
            m_bIsValidCharacter = true;
        
        if (m_bIsValidCharacter)
            SetEventMask(owner, EntityEvent.FRAME);

Hi. I try to make some diagnostics code. Can i get server performance statistics like CPU, RAM, Replication and VON network activity for server?

[open pier]

You can get RAM stats from System. The other's you're not really able to. Server FPS tells you a whole lot, just gotta either make some script or observe what's happening yourself to understand if it's a CPU bottleneck, or too much stuff in replication.

Debug tools you find in the Diag exe for arma are not enabled in the regular exe for Arma for security reasons.

[spark otter]

is it possible to add an EEditableEntityLabel to a prefab via script?

maybe something like ```cs
m_aAuthoredLabels.Insert(EEditableEntityLabel.ENTITYTYPE_VEHICLE);

Or maybe thats not allowed with an APL-ND mod though, huh? o.O 💩

[acoustic quail]

You know how to fix it?

I think it is causing some bugs to occur in game

Even reinstalling Reforger or the Tool won’t help

[tawny lotus]

No. OTOH, I did not see any other issues than the visual annoyance. In my case, I just keep the files triggering this in a separate dir. As said, this is a weird bug.

\dirB\otherfile.c```

If I move the otherfile.c to \dirA\, it suddenly looks like:
```\dirA\file.c
\dirA\file.c
\dirA\otherfile.c
\dirA\otherfile.c```

Random Question: In terms of resource/network usage, are these 2 methods of saving different data types the same or is one method better than the other?

1] Create multiple components and corresponding savedata classes extending EPF_ComponentSaveData that are included in the EPF_PersistenceComponent attached to the Chimera_Character.
This way, the data is more spread out and on every save and read, it is looking into multiple different json files for data pertaining to each individual character. Smaller chunks.

2] Creating a single gamemode component and corresponding savedata class extending EPF_ScriptedStateSaveData , and having just one, big json file with all the players and relevant data.
This way the data is more centralized but the read/write would have to deal with one, larger file.

I hope this makes sense to someone. Or maybe I'm just overthinking it.

Hi there. I'm trying to make a little racing framework and end up with a problem. How do I create some variable (with start/finish time, etc) and have it accessible from different triggers?

[abstract crescent]

1. WorldTimestamp, GetGame().GetWorld().GetServerTimestamp()
2. GameMode and Get func, GameMode component and Get func

[abstract charm]

No, I mean how can I some data structure to which I can access globally from different scripts and triggers?

I need to store start time in start trigger, and finish time in finish trigger

[abstract crescent]

class MYTAG_MyGameMode: SCR_BaseGameMode
{
  private WorldTimestamp m_startRaceTime = null;

  void StartRace()
  {
    m_startRaceTime  = GetGame().GetWorld().GetServerTimestamp();
  }
  void StopRace()
  {
    m_startRaceTime  = null;
  }

  void GetStartTime()
  {
    return m_startRaceTime;
  }
}

void SomeFuncSomeWhere()
{
...
  MYTAG_MyGameMode gameMode = MYTAG_MyGameMode.CAst(GetGame().GameMode());
  WorldTimestamp startTime = gameMode.GetStartTime();
...
}

You suggest using gamemode as storage? I'll try, thank you

[abstract crescent]

there is a different places to storage, depends from yours code structure and targets

[abstract crescent]

and dont forget about replication

[undone patrol]

Is it correct to edit the zoom step in the notepad?
since the limit in the game is x5, and instead of writing a new script, I'm editing the prefab in the notepad.
Will this cause conflicts?
According to the console, there are no errors.

Essentially, this bypasses the script restriction

And is it Legal?

[undone patrol]

Or would it be more correct to use override or inheritance?

[fringe prairie]

Why not? Did you reupload their content? No? Finding a prefab and modifying it (if it exists) can never be against any license, only if you include their content, and what type of content, would you find yourself in a bad position

[fringe prairie]

So you are modifying a config file which is completely fine, what I’m interested in seeing is if it actually works (not just not errors), if it works this is an excellent albeit dumb solution to an arbitrary problem. Now if it doesn’t work you might need to make a modded class that overrides that attribute to increase it. Or inherit the class with override attribute so it only affects certain (scopes)?

[pearl swift]

can you tell me how you made ur vics scope have variable zoom optics?

i cant figure it out for the life of me

[undone patrol]

Yes, it works.
I tested it on 2 configurations, the Zoom of the Sight (its step) and the Range of Gravity activation for the MissileMoveComponent
But my friends have already told me that it is better to use the inherited script.

[undone patrol]

This component allows you to edit the Minimum and Maximum zoom levels and the Step ratio when zooming in.

[pearl swift]

it doesnt work for me,if i change base zoom level i cant zoom up to max zoom level

does interloption speed have do with anything?

[undone patrol]

It's strange, what are your zoom values? Minimum and Maximum
what is the change step?
Do you have your own custom script or are you using the game's native one?

[pearl swift]

2x for min,7x for max,5 change step and using game script

[undone patrol]

Take any turret prefab (BRDM,LAV) or PSO \ ART scope as a basis.
Duplicate--Change the zoom settings in it.(set your own values)
It should work, but if it does, you probably don't have the Scope component fully configured.

[pearl swift]

im currently tryna mod LAV optics to be realistic(LAV had low FOV setting which was 2x

i figured the problem out

[undone patrol]

There is an article that helps you adjust your sights.
If you haven't found it, here it is

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Weapon_Optic_Creation

[spark otter]

It would technically change the prefab even if Im only adding the APL-ND mod as a dependency, no? Maybe this would be better asked in #other_ip_topics

[open pier]

Anything related to possible license violations or concerns about it would Definitely be better asked in #ip_rights_violations and/or #other_ip_topics

It's as simple to understand as it is tricky. They know more in there than here.

if you want to get the current faction holder of a campaign base, which would be the best function to do so? I have been trying to use the faction affiliation component but it does not work well

[desert escarp]

Currently trying to use the CharacterIdentityComponent to set specific bodies to specific slots but it seems like swaping the visual identities in the Enforce side does not work and results in clipping.

    void SetVisIdentity(IEntity entity)
    {
        SCR_CharacterIdentityComponent identityComp = SCR_CharacterIdentityComponent.Cast(entity.FindComponent(SCR_CharacterIdentityComponent));
        VisualIdentity visIdentity = identityComp.GetIdentity().GetVisualIdentity();
        visIdentity.SetBody("{E7C1C23F782B7481}Prefabs/Characters/Basebody/BigBossBaseBody.et");
        identityComp.CommitChanges();
    }

    override void OnControllableSpawned(IEntity entity)
    {
        super.OnControllableSpawned(entity);
        if (entity.GetPrefabData().GetPrefabName() == "{B3182F73DBEACB7B}Prefabs/Characters/Factions/BLUFOR/CRF_GS_BLUFOR_COY_P.et")
            GetGame().GetCallqueue().Call(SetVisIdentity, entity);
    }

The same thing happens when I use the override in the SCR_CharacterIdentityComponent , we are adding gear to the entity in runtime, currently I've tried calling the gear being adding at the same time and after and the clipping persists

[desert escarp]

Correction, even using the override from the component with the base loadout manager causes clipping.

Nvm it was my custom mesh that was the issue

[spark otter]

I think it's something like campaign military base component or just military base component, there should be some kind of get faction there

[spark otter]

How would I get the SCR_EditableEntityUIInfo of a Vehicle, or the Vehicle of the SCR_EditableEntityUIInfo?

Since its listed under the SCR_EditableVehicleComponent in the world editor, would it be a child of the SCR_EditableVehicleComponent?

[tidal kernel]

Anyone know how to add blown cover when fired a round into an enemy in SCR_PerceivedFactionManagerComponent?
I know this is a new feature which is so cool and hope they add code to "reveal your cover in certain rules (Example: Noise radius, Suppressed weapons, First shot free...etc)", if broken a rule the enemy faction (same faction impersonating) sees right through the cover.
However does anyone know how to add that currently? Mainly for shooting an enemy... Im pretty new to scripting in this engine and need to do some heavy learning.

Also I hope we get more settings like distance, chain reaction and other bits to improve "going undercover" Scenarios

[spark otter]

can I not modify SCR_EditableEntityUIInfo? If I try to do modded class without actually modifying anything, I get a bunch of errors that seem to come from ```cs
protected override void CopyFrom(SCR_UIName source)

[next talon]

int factionCount = 0;

Anyone know something similar that works to resolve this error?

[open pier]

Thats just a warning, is it causing your code to not compile? If so, comment it out since it's not used anyways

It compiles but its not functioning as intended but could be the way I actually configured some prefabs to use the scripts

Is there a way to add aditional actions to a ActionsManagerComponent in runtime through a script? Because it has no 'AddAction' function. I tried searching for the word 'ActionsManagerComponent' but all 59 results in the original Arma code dont try something like that.

[spark otter]

Just add the action and then use cs bool CanBeShownScript(IEntity user) to determine if it can be seen in runtime. Or use ```cs
bool CanBePerformedScript(IEntity user)

[sleek dove]

No, not during runtime

as Gramps said only way is to add it already and just hide it

[tender brook]

Thanks but unfortunatily that wont work for what i am trying to do.

I'd have to add 100's of actions to each item lol

[slate raft]

If you dont expect all be active at same time, maybe just make few actions and change their functionality and name at runtime?

[polar patrol]

Guys please tell me, is there a separate signal that reads the player's turn while standing still or in motion?

Hi, im doing some super vibe coding to proof of concept.
I am wondering why my code compiles and runs on the server, but i get a 415 whenever i attempt to POST

code incoming:

//OpsTrack_BaseGameMode
modded class SCR_BaseGameMode
{
    override void EOnInit(IEntity owner)
    {
        super.EOnInit(owner); //Run code from super class
        
        if(Replication.IsServer()) //Using IsServer because we only want it to happen when it is a server.
        {
            Print("[OpsTrack] Mod is running on the server!");
        }
    }
    
    override void OnPlayerConnected(int playerId)
    {
        super.OnPlayerConnected(playerId);

        BackendApi backend = GetGame().GetBackendApi();
        string uniqueId = backend.GetPlayerIdentityId(playerId);

        RestApi api = GetGame().GetRestApi();
        RestContext ctx = api.GetContext("<SOMEURL>");
        ctx.SetHeaders("Content-Type,application/json,Accept,application/json");


        
        

        string json = string.Format("{\"PlayerId\":\"%1\",\"UniqueId\":\"%2\"}", playerId.ToString(), uniqueId);
        ctx.POST(new OpsTrackCallback(), "/player/join", json);

        Print(string.Format("[OpsTrack] Player connected: %1 (%2)", playerId, uniqueId));
    }

    override void OnPlayerDisconnected(int playerId, KickCauseCode cause, int timeout)
    {
        super.OnPlayerDisconnected(playerId, cause, timeout);

        BackendApi backend = GetGame().GetBackendApi();
        string uniqueId = backend.GetPlayerIdentityId(playerId);

        RestApi api = GetGame().GetRestApi();
        RestContext ctx = api.GetContext("<SOMEURL>");
        ctx.SetHeaders("Content-Type,application/json,Accept,application/json");



        string json = string.Format("{\"PlayerId\":\"%1\",\"UniqueId\":\"%2\"}", playerId.ToString(), uniqueId);
        ctx.POST(new OpsTrackCallback(), "/player/leave", json);

        Print(string.Format("[OpsTrack] Player disconnected: %1 (%2)", playerId, uniqueId));
    }


}```

Its definetly game server side, i can post just fine to my api, through swagger

[torn bane]

You are not keeping youur callback alive beyond the request. which you must do. apart from that you are getting an error code from your webapi. SetHeaders - Number of strings must be even! says you are not putting them correctly and then it probably posts witth default headers which your api does not like

[sour marten]

Hello Reforger Modders,

I'm currently working on a custom map UI component (SCR_MapUIBaseComponent) to draw a circular zone using multiple MapItem markers (a point cloud).

I'm running into an issue loading a custom image from an Imageset onto these MapItems. I keep getting white squares on the map, indicating the resource isn't found or loaded correctly, despite the resource paths being confirmed in the Workbench.

I've already tried the standard solution, but it's not working:

// 1. Canonical Resource ID is constructed correctly.
string myImageset = "{GUID}UI/Imagesets/Dots.imageset";
string myImageQuad = "RedDot";
string myImageResourceID = myImageset + ":" + myImageQuad;

Using the correct MapItem property setter.
MapDescriptorProps props = pointItem.GetProps();
if (props)
{
props.SetImageDef(myImageResourceID);
// I also tried explicitly setting a solid alpha:
props.SetFrontColor(Color.RGBA(255, 0, 0, 255));
}

Is there a specific method required to register an Imageset or ResourceName with the MapEntity or MapConfiguration before using MapDescriptorProps.SetImageDef()

Any insights would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!"

[errant fog]

Oh yeah definetly makes sense with the callbacks, thanks.

Figured the header issue was that i was using

But with RestContext it expects it as comma seperated. 🤬

Guess i learned something 😂

[torn bane]

Yes we hope to improve the apis to make it less error prone. this was just added so there is any way to set headers with least amount of effort

[spark otter]

Whats the name of the action for placing vehicles in building mode?

[tough cave]

is there a way to dump the localization stringtable or do lookups on strings from core game? I don't see anyone talking about that

FYI: It's been talked about once before, but it didn't get any attention. SCR_MapCampaignUI.ShowSpawnPoint is for Campaign / Conflict, but it affects all scenarios due to how MapFullscreen.conf is set without being mission-specific like when tied to a game mode prefab. A SCR_GameModeCampaign type check forces a premature return in that method for all non-Conflict scenarios. You can change the class back to the parent to get spawnpoint icon drawing on map to use the generic code. MapSpawnMenu is unaffected by this Campaign / Conflict misconfig / code.

[ocean needle]

getting an error here, what am i missing?

scripts/WorkbenchGame/Editor/SMG_Bake.c(47): error: Wrong number of template parameters

Then you should definitely rethink your approach to whatever it is that you're doing.

[stable harbor]

can i establish an ip connection in enfusion engine?

[open pier]

Like using the REST API?

[stable harbor]

yes

[open pier]

If you're trying to through the workbench then yes, there is also DNS resolution

[errant fog]

Do you just use the enfusion IDE? and github desktop to push for repo?
I was wondering if there exist a better solution, like the inbuild version control in vs2022

[serene fox]

Good Morning, question: Do we need to replicate Entity Flags or will they replicated by the game itself? For example if we change the visibility on runtime.

[minor agate]

You need to replicate

You might want some to be active on server, while other active on clients

whicle several clients having different ones

etc etc

[minor agate]

Replicate your feature needs. Do not replicate the flags from server ent to client ent

as you will mess with other things because of what I mentioned.

[serene fox]

Mario, do you know how i can setup a second Peer for the Dedicated Tool? One peer is always crashing with: (see image)

[torn bane]

In 1.6 exp this will be solved and allow you to connect multiple clients. Until then, no chance

Hopefully 1.6 doesn't get deleted internally

I need to create a configuration file located in the $profile: folder in JSON format, and of course read that config back into my mod.

What is the recommended way to work with JSON serialization in Enfusion/Arma Reforger?

• Which classes or containers should I use (JsonLoadContainer, JsonSaveContainer, etc.)?
• And how do I read the values back into my own settings class?

[torn bane]

SCR_JsonSaveContext/SCR_JsonLoadContext, you can pass it a whole scripted class, including nesting, and it will write and read it back as you want. SaveToFile LoadFromFile. 5 minute job

[errant fog]

Nice, thanks. Where would it be appropiate to load settings? BaseGameMode doesnt run before the actual "mission" is getting loaded, i suppose loading settings should happen before that?

[ocean needle]

does anyone know why the if statement here is erroring?
dont wanna dig myself into a hole if this something i can fix

[errant fog]

class SMG_Template<BaseContainer T>

Shouldnt it just be <T> ?

[torn bane]

The earliest instances that run before any other entity in the world is created are world systems. But adding a system just to read the config is meh. I do not have an ideal place in my head yet. Maybe a derived mission header type would be a good approach, but not sure how those will work with the main menu where your mod is not active ...

Usually you can just make your settings holder a singleton that does the reading on the first occurance of someone wanting your settings and then it keeps them. That should work

[ocean needle]

only when defining arrays since they dont need a variable name as well

[stable harbor]

do you have an example

ok any knowlage base with examples about this topic

[open pier]

Give me a bit to find a link, the REST docs provided were some of the easiest to use

[open pier]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:REST_API_Usage

[errant fog]

Makes sense with the lazy singleton.

[tawny lotus]

Should a marker be visible only to USSR faction if I do this:

Faction faction = GetGame().GetFactionManager().GetFactionByKey("USSR");
int fIndex = GetGame().GetFactionManager().GetFactionIndex(faction);
SCR_MapMarkerBase markerst = new SCR_MapMarkerBase();
markerst.AddMarkerFactionFlags(fIndex);
/* Rest of the needed things */
mapMarkerMgr.InsertStaticMarker(markerst, false, true);

Doing the above makes it hidden to everyone.

[solid hearth]

Try Set instead of Add.

[tawny lotus]

I did that too - same effect.

[solid hearth]

Wait are you sure it displays for everyone without changing the flags?

[tawny lotus]

Yes.

If I set it as SetMarkerFactionFlags(0), everyone can see it (..as is documented).

[solid hearth]

Hmm, no idea. Seems to work for me.

[tawny lotus]

Thanks for testing. I'm still scratching my head here. 😕

[stable harbor]

How can i make my script execute by the game on every server session.

[solid hearth]

Idk if it's marker type specific or something or if you're on experimental but just try changing it up.

[tawny lotus]

Tested with different marker types but it did not help. I'm using a really plain gamemode for testing. So, opening Coop_CombatOps_Arland as the map, it seems to work. I'm probably missing something in my testing game mode.

[solid hearth]

There's only two things that should have anything map marker related which are the game mode entity and player controller. I'd check which player controller you're running and if it has all the map managers on it.

[tawny lotus]

Care to elaborate on how to check the player controller?

[solid hearth]

On the game mode entity its self all the way at the bottom

[ionic pewter]

so i get this error for my componant that i made "SCR_ExplosionPrefabSpawnerComponent"

Reason: NULL pointer to instance. Variable '@m00'

However it dosnt pop up with the text box asking to debug or anyhting only in console here and a little warning in the corner when i compile. Tested it many times in game here and it works fine, so i uploaded it to the workshop to download and test in game and there too it work fine. Should i just ignore this then?

Hey, I'm trying to create a marker that floats above an object and is visible to all players in the game world from anywhere. Similar to the task icons in Arma 3. Does anyone have any idea how to implement this? As far as I know, the tasks in Reforger are not displayed in the game world but only on the map, right?

[acoustic quail]

What is the meaning of “chimera” I see in script?

And what is the difference between ChimeraAIAgent and regular AIAgent?

[sweet badger]

As far as I know, Chimera is an internal project name, though I don't know whether it stands Reforger in general or something used for Reforger.
Either way, in practice the name just indicates at what level that class was implemented, same as SCR_ (scripted chimera reforger) classes are implemented in script.

[sour marten]

hej guys i have a question about how to make a own strings text for example the RestrictionZoneWarning.layout

i want to create a custom Message for it

i did already edit the SCR_RestrictionZoneWarningHUD so that i can add the New Warning Type in the ERestrictionZoneWarningType

but how can i change the strings or add the strings

Do i need to create a stringTable or How does the #AR_justtext work

[sweet badger]

The warning types are set up on a component on the player controller prefab.

It has a string field for each type, and in there you can put the text directly, or alternatively a localization key.

[sour marten]

Correct that what i found but they use the strange strings right the #AR_something
i think the best is to use localization key.

[sweet badger]

If you want it to show messages in different languages, you will need to create a string table and add such an entry.
Unless the Arma Reforger string table already has a suitable entry that you can reuse.

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:String_Editor
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Mod_Localisation

[sour marten]

it is not possible to change the Arma Reforger string table right

so i need to create a new one

and add it here right

i cant open or find the default.st

[sweet badger]

Yeah, the Workbench does not let you access it, the st files might not even be included, just the built runtime tables

[sour marten]

so for the mod you dont need the orginal Table just create a new Table what i use for that specific mod is that correct

[sweet badger]

Yes

[sour marten]

i added it into the Game Project -> WidgetManagerSettings -> String Tables

i added the new String table to it but it does not work

i added also the Translation string to the HUDManager in the playerController

do i forget something?

[desert escarp]

Make sure you build the string table

Table > Build

[sour marten]

i did

still not working

Hello all!!

I am really good with Arma 3's SQF language but I really really struggled to even find my footing into Reforger. I watched a few of the modding bootcamp videos which were helpful in familiarizing myself with the workbench, components, etc but I think where my struggles still largest lie is in how one would go about starting to make a mission. For example, initialization order, event scripts, etc.

Does anyone here have any resources that were helpful for them while learning to build missions? Were there any resources that helped in learning client / server-side relationship? Is anyone here an SQF native who struggles a bit with the concepts of OOP and have any guides or suggestions on how to navigate that?

Apologies in advance if this is all a really loaded question. Would love to get into Reforger, just struggling to find my steps.

If you're trying to delete everything on the character use
SCR_EntityHelper::DeleteEntityAndChildren

[kindred vessel]

What is the best strategy of loading custom config and using those values across multiple files?

[pliant ingot]

if class of your config is inherited from class of some attribute then you can use it directly

[kindred vessel]

Thank you, you are absolutely correct. I also just found out I was looking in the wrong direction.

[kindred vessel]

I have to add that this doesn't seem to work client side, only server side

[kindred vessel]

For context, this is in a GameSystem that is defined for both client and server

[river imp]

That highly depends on what you're actually doing, some functionality can't run client side regardless.

[kindred vessel]

Some code would help I'd say, sorry for leaving that out but thanks for taking the time to answer.

I've got a config in the mod and that is confirmed loading serverside OnInit but once I call GetVoteGroupByName from a menu for example (clientside) I get a Reason: NULL pointer to instance. Variable '#array' during call 'array<@ZERO_VotingGroupConfig>.Count' error.

class ZERO_VotingGroupSystem : GameSystem
{
    static ref ZERO_VotingGroupSystem s_Instance;
    protected SCR_VotingManagerComponent m_aVotingManager;
    ref array<ref ZERO_VotingGroupConfig> m_aVotingGroups;
    ref map<string, int> m_mLastVoteTimeByGroup;

    static ZERO_VotingGroupSystem GetInstance()
    {
        World w = GetGame().GetWorld();
        if (!w)
            return null;
        return ZERO_VotingGroupSystem.Cast(w.FindSystem(ZERO_VotingGroupSystem));
    }

    override protected void OnInit()
    {
        ZERO_VotingGroupsConfig groupsConfig = new ZERO_VotingGroupsConfig();
        m_aVotingGroups = groupsConfig.m_aVotingGroups;
    }

    ZERO_VotingGroupConfig GetVoteGroupByName(string name)
    {
        foreach (ZERO_VotingGroupConfig group : m_aVotingGroups)
        {
            if (group && group.GetGroupName() == name)
            {
                return group;
            }
        }
        return null;
    }
....

the config manipulates how the UI is displayed and provides config that I will need server side. So I'm stuck on conditionally displaying the UI from a config in essence.

[river imp]

How is ZERO_VotingGroupsConfig::m_aVotingGroups getting populated?

Your ZERO_VotingGroupsConfig::m_aVotingGroups could be getting populated by functionality that only the server can run. Meaning it's null on the client.

[kindred vessel]

I have a config file that is located in the mod, in the folder Configs that contains:

ZERO_VotingGroupsConfig {
 m_aVotingGroups {
  ZERO_VotingGroupConfig "{66610CC5ADA12E83}" {
   m_Name "y"
  }
  ZERO_VotingGroupConfig "{66610CC5ADC54F4C}" {
   m_Name "y"
  }
  ZERO_VotingGroupConfig "{66610CC5AD39F9C8}" {
   m_Name "y"
  }
 }
}

Based on the following classes:

ZERO_VotingGroupsConfig.c

[BaseContainerProps(configRoot:true)]
class ZERO_VotingGroupsConfig : Managed
{
    [Attribute("", UIWidgets.Object, "Voting group configs")]
    ref array<ref ZERO_VotingGroupConfig> m_aVotingGroups;
};

ZERO_VotingGroupConfig.c

[BaseContainerProps()]
class ZERO_VotingGroupConfig : Managed
{
    [Attribute()]
    string m_Name;
};

I've stripped some details which aren't relevant for this issue

[river imp]

Creating a new instance of ZERO_VotingGroupsConfig isn't doing anything in regards to your conf file.

You need to create an instance of the actual config file that you're trying to use.

    override protected void OnInit()
    {
        ZERO_VotingGroupsConfig GC;
        ResourceName RN = "{965E7D57CC2AB8E0}Configs/ExampleConfig.conf";
        GC = ZERO_VotingGroupsConfig.Cast(SCR_BaseContainerTools.CreateInstanceFromPrefab(RN));        
        m_aVotingGroups = GC.m_aVotingGroups;
    }

[kindred vessel]

Ahh then I misinterpreted Vlad then, because that was what I was initially doing. I will retry that in a moment and give an update asap

[river imp]

It works

[river imp]

If it's not a value that you intend to actually be changed you can just use a const.

Otherwise make the ResouceName an attribute of the system

    [Attribute(defvalue: "{965E7D57CC2AB8E0}Configs/ExampleConfig.conf",params: "conf class=ZERO_VotingGroupsConfig")]
    protected ResourceName m_VotingGroupsConfig;
        
    override protected void OnInit()
    {
        if(m_VotingGroupsConfig == string.Empty || !Resource.Load(m_VotingGroupsConfig).IsValid())
            m_VotingGroupsConfig = "{965E7D57CC2AB8E0}Configs/ExampleConfig.conf";
        
        ZERO_VotingGroupsConfig GC;
        GC = ZERO_VotingGroupsConfig.Cast(SCR_BaseContainerTools.CreateInstanceFromPrefab(m_VotingGroupsConfig));        
        m_aVotingGroups = GC.m_aVotingGroups;
    }

With a default value it may not ever be "empty" but, it's safe to assume that if someone can break it they will. So some checks before hand are advised.

[kindred vessel]

Thank you very much, this works perfect indeed. I've been banging my head over this all day 😅 my mistake was using resource.GetResource().ToBaseContainer() and BaseContainerTools.CreateInstanceFromContainer

I wasn't sure how it worked but I saw a config beeing loaded for hints like that in the source

[kindred vessel]

Great advice thank you 🙂

[pliant ingot]

For loading configs just use SCR_ConfigHelper

[river imp]

Or just cut out the middle man and use SCR_BaseContainerTools::CreateInstanceFromPrefab

Config helper does do some "null checks" for you though.

ZERO_VotingGroupsConfig GC = SCR_ConfigHelperT<ZERO_VotingGroupsConfig>.GetConfigObject(m_VotingGroupsConfig);

[kindred vessel]

that looks clean yeah, I will have a look at what null checks I need as I need to properly disable some UI elements depending on the results.

both solutions do it for me, thank you both very much for helping me out 🤟🏻

[craggy jolt]

What's the difference between Resource.Load and BaseContainerTools.LoadContainer? Both seem to be the same.

[minor agate]

Resource.Load is through resource manager only, it has to be in resource database or otherwise it won't work

LoadContainer will try basically Resrouce.Load first, and if failed then goes directly into trying filesystem

[craggy jolt]

Still don't get it tbh, resource manager builds asset list from file system as well isn't it? Is there upside/downside to either?

[minor agate]

BaseContainerTools.LoadContainer is more useful for plugins in WB

Where you might want to load a config file from outside game dirs or paks

As it will be able to read from unregistered resoruces

[craggy jolt]

🤔

[minor agate]

While the .Load() one is there to use resource manager

Which will need them to be registered (Have meta file on them)

BaseContainerTools.LoadContainer will be okay to use filesystem paths as well, unlike Resource.Load which should be used with actual ResourceNames

Here is a reference I gave before for understanding filesystem in enfusion

#enfusion_scripting message

[craggy jolt]

Thanks, guess I gonna have to make use of it to fully get it. Bookmarked that post for myself.

[minor agate]

resource manager builds asset list from file system as well isn't it? I
No

Only to registered resources (Those that have meta files to them) have ResourceName. But this is talking about resource databse

Unregistered resources have no ResourceName

The ResourceName is more than just an ID tied to a filepath

That ID, is not just for quick lookup like some people think. It's also the basis of the whole modding of configs and so.

[craggy jolt]

Got it, thanks for clarification

[kindred vessel]

Does anyone know how I can make this config class renamable in the config? Since there isn’t a read only UIWidgets, I’m trying to work around the fact that m_VotingType can’t be editable but still needs to be recognizable.

[BaseContainerProps()]
class ZERO_VotingTypeConfig : Managed
{
    [Attribute("4", UIWidgets.Hidden, "Voting type", "", ParamEnumArray.FromEnum(EVotingType))]
    EVotingType m_VotingType;

    [Attribute("true")]
    bool m_Enabled;
    
    bool IsEnabled()
    {
        return m_Enabled;
    }
};

[versed remnant]

You can !
Here is a quick made up example usingm_sName

[BaseContainerProps(configRoot: false), SCR_BaseContainerCustomTitleField("m_sName")]
class SCR_VotingConfigEntry : Managed
{
    [Attribute("", UIWidgets.EditBox, "Vote name")]
    string m_sName;
    
    [Attribute("", UIWidgets.EditBox, "Vote description")]
    string m_sDescription;
    
    [Attribute("", UIWidgets.CheckBox, "Is voting locked by GM")]
    bool m_bIsVotingLocked;
}

in your case I suppose this would do ? (untested)

[BaseContainerProps(configRoot: false), SCR_BaseContainerCustomTitleEnum(EVotingType, "m_VotingType")]
class ZERO_VotingTypeConfig : Managed
{
    [Attribute("4", UIWidgets.Hidden, "Voting type", "", ParamEnumArray.FromEnum(EVotingType))]
    EVotingType m_VotingType;

    [Attribute("true")]
    bool m_Enabled;
    
    bool IsEnabled()
    {
        return m_Enabled;
    }
}

[kindred vessel]

this is very cool

thank you so much!

Exactly what I was looking for

What is the issue exactly ?

[abstract crescent]

hint overlaps half of text and do not disappears when i move with arrows in text

[craggy jolt]

Guessing you're on high res monitor with UI scale >100%?

[dire sinew]

Do scripted inventory actions only work for weapons as parent? I can't see the action when I inspect my gadget and have another item with a scripted inventory action in my backpack that registers to a context of the gadget.

[abstract crescent]

no. i have 2 standard monitors with 1920x1080 and 1920x1200 res - same issue on both monitors

[coarse saffron]

does anyone know how to get a vehicle to move when makeing a cinematic? I have a soldier in a jeep and scripted this, but I just can't get him to drive forward. He moves maybe half a foot. I attached it to the scene not the jeep entity. but either way it does not work. Any help is much appreciated!

**Hi hope this is the right place for this ! Does anyone know how to create an AI tracker team that moves to the players last know position in 60 second intervals ? in arma 3 it was getpos ...... moveto on loop with a pause before the moveto comman ! Any ideas would be grate thanks in advance ! ** // Create a function to make AI follow the player (you)
void trackPlayer(Entity player, Entity aiUnit)

[gusty pulsar]

What is the best way to read what material (.gamemat, .physmat) bullet hit?

[tawny lotus]

Hi, take a look at: https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/597324ECFC025225 .. there was a youtube video by the developer that went through each part of the code. Can't find the video now ..

[torn bane]

For waiting you can use GetGame().GetCallQueue.CallLater() if nothing else is available to you

[red cedar]

I have a bit of a "stupid" question, but if i want to run a logic (call a function) every like 20 minutes, Would it be wiser to use a callqueue or should i rather have a component / system adding timeslices until the 20 minute mark is reached ?

And how big of a difference does it make ?

[neon elbow]

Yeah, It's the GetOrigin() method under IEntity and AddWaypoint() under AIGroup.

[neon elbow]

There's more but, I'll need to ask: Are you using this script for singplayer or multiplayer? And, will your hunter team be on the map at the start of the game or are you planning on spawning them in when your players meet a condition (i.e trigger, user action)?

[barren harness]

I'm looking to make a triggerzone that prevents rockets and high caliber bullets from being used in that triggerzone does anyone have any experience with this?

[earnest grail]

Single player / Hunter team on map at the start ..... i was looking also for a way to loop the follow waypoint every 60 seconds in the editor to avoid running a script ! for the first 60 seconds they move towards the player but the waypoint does not spawn again for some reason and they just stop moving !...... testing lots of stuff !

[undone patrol]

Is there a way to fix this? How can I sync them together? 😄
I've revived the old Trailer mod (2022)
I've created an updated system.
With trailers and TD
everything is perfect in single player as always.

[red cedar]

Another day another stupid question :

when i have for example the character entity of a player. Is there a cleaner way to get the player controller than go through the playermanager, get the player id and finally get the player controller??

I really hate this approach it feels unclean for me

[neon elbow]

Ok that's much easier since you can name your hunter entity and you don't need to differentiate between players

let's see...

[neon elbow]

First let's get your player position. In the game mode there's a method PlayerController GetPlayerController(); so we can do

PlayerController playerController = GetGame().GetPlayerController();
        
IEntity player = playerController.GetControlledEntity();

vector playerPos = getOrigin(player); 

for your waypoints, you'll need to spawn a new one and assign it every time the 60 seconds elapses. Spawning things can be a bit tricky but you need SpawnEntityPrefab(notnull Resource templateResource, BaseWorld world = null, EntitySpawnParams params = null)

To utilize SpawnEntityPrefab you need a resource (The name of the type of waypoint you want to spawn. See images) and the spawn parameters (where you want to spawn the waypoint, i.e the playerPos).
We can start by generating some spawn parameters
I lifted this from Rabid Squirrel's videos.

protected EntitySpawnParams GenerateSpawnParameters(vector playerPos)
{
  // Create a new set of spawn parameters 
  EntitySpawnParams params = EntitySpawnParams();
  // Calibrate to our world map
  params.TransformMode = ETransformMode.WORLD;
  // Assign the position to those parameters 
  params.Transform[3] = playerPos;
      
  // Return this set of spawn parameters
  return params;
}

Now let's spawn our new waypoint

  Resource resource = Resource.Load("the_name_of_your_resource");
  AIWaypoint waypoint = AIWaypoint.Cast(GetGame().SpawnEntityPrefab(resource, null, GenerateSpawnParameters(playerPos)));

and assign it to our hunter group

SCR_AIGroup HunterGroup = GetGame().GetWorld().FindEntityByName("HunterGroupsName");
group.AddWaypoint(waypoint);

As for looping. I suppose you can use recursive function(?) by calling your method again 60 seconds later. GetGame().GetCallQueue.CallLater(the_name_of_the_method_you_put_all_you_stuff_in, 6000, false, What_ever_paramaters_you_used_for_said_function)

The rest of it is object oriented programing, and setting failing conditions. But I feel if you make it a component that you could place into your hunter group, you can have another way to loop things by using the EOnFrame(IEntity owner, float timeSlice) event mask.
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Create_a_Component

[earnest grail]

Thanks ! I will mess around with this tomorrow, it will really spice things up when escaping through enemy territory knowing that there on to me !

[neon elbow]

yeah, no problem. Right now the hunter group will keep following the chain of waypoints. But if you want them to take a straight path to the player whenever it loops I suggest looking into CompleteWaypoint() found in the AIGroup class.

[maiden goblet]

I saw some post from someone did a towing thing more recently, maybe somewhat works already

can't remember who author was tho

[river imp]

Depends on who needs the player controller. Server, Owner or proxy.

[red cedar]

Usually server for my issue. If I'm inside a component i simply cast the owner as the pc.

Well not really issue. I'd say code that feels "unclean"

[river imp]

That's not "unclean" its boilerplate. Should be expected in OOP.

If you don't want all the boilerplate write a helper function.

[desert escarp]

int playerId = GetGame().GetPlayerManager().GetPlayerIdFromControlledEntity(storageOwner.GetOwner().GetRootParent());

Probably your best best

[ocean kernel]

The above is missing like 5 null checks because try/catch is dark magic blasphemy to enfusion devs

[red cedar]

I did already. Thanks a lot

[red cedar]

With lines like these you're begging to crash the server

[desert escarp]

Didn't included that amount of null checks for that one line lmao

who doesn't love
if (object == null)
return;
over and over and over in each and every single fucking method

[red cedar]

Unfortunately it's very necessary (learned that the hard way) :(

[kindred vessel]

Vertical code length is always better than horizontal

but i'd love some support for a null conditional operator

[red cedar]

We need ternary operators

[kindred vessel]

yes please!

[desert escarp]

Neither are happening

[red cedar]

Awwww :(

That's kinda messed up..

Then give us linq frfr

[river imp]

Uh, more like

if(!object)
    return;

lol

[desert escarp]

I swear if a method, specifically IEntity returns null !object does not work and it has to be object == null

At least in an IEntity case

[river imp]

I've literally never used == null

For anything

[desert escarp]

IEntity radio = m_PlayerController.m_aRadios.Get(0);
if (radio == null)
  return;

Here it was

This was the case in which I had to use it

doing !radio for some reason did not return properly

Same thing for ray casts

            if (p.TraceEnt == null)
            {
                found = true;
                break;
            }

Works

            if (!p.TraceEnt)
            {
                found = true;
                break;
            }

Does not

[red cedar]

I never had that issue on my end. I know some people use == null for readability and thought you were doing it for the same reasons lol.

But to me it never caused issues, except with enumerator but that's because i'm stupid.

[river imp]

I've done plenty of traces and it's worked perfectly fine for me

[desert escarp]

Okay

[river imp]

Odd

[desert escarp]

I can try again, but I spent literal hours debugging that raycast for it to have been that

[river imp]

Keep doing whatever works for you. It's just odd that !object has always worked for me

[desert escarp]

Oh same, it works almost 100% of the time, in the case of TraceEnt was like the only time I specifically had to do == null for some odd reason. Makes no sense as !p.TraceEnt should do the exact same thing

[minor agate]

Just cast the controlled entity you got to SCR_ChimeraCharacter, then GetController directly from that

[red cedar]

Will i find my player controller components in the chimera controller or whatever it is called?

[minor agate]

You have two things

The controller and the controlled enitty

If you got the character entity, then it is the controlled entity

if you cast that entity to SCR_ChimeraCharacter

then you can access directly the controller

Which is where people usually add their components for controller logic

IEntity ent;

// Supposing ent is for sure ChimeraCharacter.
CharacterControllerComponent controller = SCR_ChimeraCharacter.Cast(ent).GetCharacterController();

[red cedar]

Ok. Thank you. I wasn't aware that we could find our playercontroller component in CharacterControllerComponent.

Ty^^

[minor agate]

I think you can, don't remember too well

let me check

[red cedar]

And while you're here could i get more info on this question?

I keep hearing callqueues are bad since whatever we're passing as a param doesn't get automatically collected.

But are there other reasons we should avoid call queues?

[minor agate]

Yes, bad design in general

Also it causes something we call callqueue explosion

Which is a big issue for us with mods and replication

as it stalls the replication threads

That and script invokers

which is why for A4 they are basically gone

[red cedar]

Hmm.. would it be wiser to then count timeslices even for "long" wait such as like 20 minutes?

[red cedar]

What's wrong with scriptinvokers?

I find them very handy to inform infodisplays about events

[minor agate]

Tangled unmanaged code maker

You are receiving the latest Enf event system anyway at some point on AR

So you could use that which is not only faster, but clearer and with compile level errors for misconnections and recurssion issues

[red cedar]

That sounds great

[minor agate]

Like the idea behind script invokers is not bad, the impl of script invokers and the interface and thus pattern it provides is what is bad for code stability, maintainability and performance.

@red cedar The issue with the CallQueue you usually use is that it is global

Everyone adds things to it

whcih get checked every frame

the more you add, the worse it gets

at some point it explodes and stalls many things

[red cedar]

I've noticed that on populated server sometimes a scheduled call is dropped completely. Which i assume is what you're referring to as callqueue explosion?

[minor agate]

IF you really need CallQueue

Then just do anew callqueue instance and store it on a system

then tick it manually there

That would be better

[red cedar]

And would adding time slices every frame on a component until we reach a desired value be a bad practice or would it be alright?

I usually do that for clients sided code such as hud displays etc. But i'm not sure about server side and for longer periods

[minor agate]

avoid periodical events on components

Use systems

Issue is that having to tick for example 10 components is worse than ticking a single system

Also the process to decide what to tick from engine is not free

It's more efficient to use system

and more manageable for you as well

As you get a single point of control/update

Suddently if you want to connect those components updates to other updates, create dependencies, etc

you will heavily suffer with the component approach

[fringe prairie]

Not to sidetrack, sent you a DM Mario - no rush, just in case it got buried.

[red cedar]

Ok that's good to know. I was told to only use system for short periods.

Thanks a lot for your time Mario i really appreciate your clarification, i try to produce cleaner code so that's why sometimes i come up with those silly questions ^^

I'll also need to test out the CharacterControllerComponent approach to find my components and if it doesn't work i'll just keep using my helper functions

[timid citrus]

Anybody know where to work with the x/y green lines on the map widget for layouts?

These

Documentation is empty.

https://community.bistudio.com/wikidata/external-data/arma-reforger/ArmaReforgerScriptAPIPublic/interfaceMapWidget.html

And MapWidget.c is just generated basically empty script.

[deft aurora]

Hello, do you think it would be possible to have a script that would move a prefab from point A to point B following a spline?
I haven't been able to find an example.

[molten glacier]

I have a script that spawns artillery barrage immediately but I want to delay it from when it is called.

I tried calllater but it just doesn’t spawn then.

How do you do a delayed spawn?

[undone patrol]

Check out this component SCR_BarrageEffectsModule

[scarlet iris]

CallQueue?

[open pier]

Avoided callqueue and did a tick system like this for anything that needs periodic updates, both are bad practice ;-;

Going to wait until the new event system is released though to change what I have. Thank you for the information on these

[molten glacier]

Will do. Thank you.

[molten glacier]

Will do thank you.

[fringe prairie]

The issue really with components that tick constantly is that every component is replicated to every player (within bubble) and you are essentially wasting the engines time per component per client which that component really shouldn’t need to tick on, at least that’s what I’ve found

System usage saved me lots of network traffic client side.

some things do need frame events though, you’ll never really have a perfect solution but a lot of big servers right now are having replication related stalling on Xbox as far as I can tell

Which leads to a 10 second freeze for clients when players join or leave, or shoot tons of rockets, because a lot of data is being streamed at one time

[open pier]

I'll have to look into systems big time then, always got away with a time check at the top of my postframe or on frame functions

[open pier]

I do the backend stuff for Badlands and that has been a huge issue. I did read the rpldocs which was a lot but was quite useful and we were able to work on getting things like that diminished

[fringe prairie]

And it definitely depends on what you’re doing as well. Let’s say it’s a state that all players should see, kind of makes sense to have the component frame for all clients, custom movement protocol would be a good example. Because that logic has to live somewhere, and if it lives on the instance which needs to be simulated, kind of makes sense.

Alternatively, if that state can be invoked (whereas you basically have a client ask “hey can I get this data”),using system to store that data and send it when needed, especially via player controller (once I learned about its power it became a god send), then you can really tighten network usage, send batch updates or filter updates per player as needed, or have system send component changes to components for storage via RplProp if it must be readily accessible without request by clients

[open pier]

A huge thing with the freezes too, it happened a lot on some sort of user action, gotta make sure to restrict the action to client or server where and when needed. Understanding replication made me understand that, there's 60 things being replicated when it should just be to the person using the action and the server, unless not

[fringe prairie]

Yeah server only actions are pretty much the way to go, I like client based without proxy for things which only the player sees (like HUD), that way you aren’t wasting network usage on worst case 128 transmissions of that data where it does not apply.

[open pier]

As I code I ask myself a lot now after learningmore about replication, should this be ran on the client or server? Seems to have helped a lot of issues we've had understanding and slimming down replicated things

[open pier]

This will also help a ton. We found the var limit in enfusion the other day due to a hefty economy script.

Which it's all wrapped in callqueues to update prices for everyone 8^)

[mental storm]

would anyone here be so kind to possibly help walkthrough maybe guide me on setting up a proper vehicle the vehicle in question being the lifeboat from halo,

even if no help can be offered I woud like to ask questions (without flooding this chat) about whats possible and what isnt possible when it comes to it.

also should note I have no prior experience to setting any vehicles up, so any help is greatly appreciated.

[open pier]

#enfusion_model may be a better place for this question. Correct me if I'm wrong if there are any better channels

[mental storm]

I thought it might be the best place due to the needs of the lifeboat, doesn't necessarily act like most vanilla vehicles in reforger do.

[red cedar]

most useful and important bootcamp vido of them all btw ^

I'm having a weird moment with tasks...

so i'm spawning the task but i can't seem to figure out why the name isn't being set properly.

 if(m_taskPrefab)
        {
            Resource resource = Resource.Load(m_taskPrefab);
            if(!resource)    {return;}
            
            EntitySpawnParams spawnParams = new EntitySpawnParams();
            spawnParams.Transform[3] = GetOrigin();
            
            m_taskEntity = SCR_TriggerTask.Cast(
                GetGame().SpawnEntityPrefab(resource, GetGame().GetWorld(), spawnParams)            
            );
            
            m_taskEntity.SetTitle(m_sMissionName); // doesn't work ?? or there is something i don't quite understand
            m_taskEntity.SetDescription(m_sMissionName); // works fine
    
        }

Thanks in advance ^^

[open pier]

At some point you'll make your way back in here, but if you don't even have the life boat itself set up as an entity then you got some more to do before getting functionality setup

[torn bane]

Good morning
Today's experimental update contains an inactive and not fully finished version of our new save game system. This is entirely incompatible with anything you might have built on top of the old scripted save manager core and it's associated JsonApi structs.

If you are super curious to see the new system and how it generally works you can search for "Persistence" as keyword in config and scripts later.

The more polished version with some API changes will come in another experimental update. Including full documentation and examples.

Anyone using my modded persistence solution: That should still work and I will give some migration examples, but I will deprecate it as soon as 1.6 hits stable as anyone will want to transition to the vanilla solution. It's > 100x faster than my mod with ~80% less memory consumption.

[ocean kernel]

Is new version also limited at funny 1 MB

[grave rampart]

Hi, is there any way to tell clients to connect to another server?

[torn bane]

No no limit, we'll reach for the sky ... https://youtu.be/7kmEEkECFQw?si=4zAzS12_HnmBbuFz&t=139 ... except on consoles where Xbox has a total limit of 256 MB across all saves and we hard limit you to maximum of 10 save points per mission if you use our general save manager. But for DS in general you can do what ever you want. New binary saves are also available as format which makes it all 🤏

[torn bane]

No.

[grave rampart]

🙁

[grave rampart]

is there likely to be at any point in the future (or in A4)?

[torn bane]

Maybe, it will require some additional user prompts to let them know and accept etc. It must be an active user choice if and where they want to connect. No chance of silently moving them onto another server instance for some sort of round based lobby server

[grave rampart]

yeah at the moment I display a message telling them to connect to <other server> but it's kinda high friction so just having them able to click "Ok" on a prompt would be a lot easier

[fervent cedar]

Please just add a freaking popup that says
"You are offeredd to connect to another server: Name / IP"

It would be such a useful feature in the engine to allow changing servers with scripts.

Anything 🙏

[red cedar]

Will we see improvement to the http client any time soon?

[torn bane]

Not in 1.6 probably. the built in http database for persistence which I want to ship (in an even later exp) simply handles everything in gamecode. script raw usage of rest api is on the list but we have many pressing issues to deal with so it will take time until it is on the schedule

[scarlet iris]

So Xbox will be able to have persistence even if playing offline?

[torn bane]

I am not an expert on console specifics and if any of its saving requires online connectivity, but in general the system supports saving on consoles the same as on other platforms and this includes modded scenarios who could previously not do it, as no access to fileIO script api

[red cedar]

Hmm ok.. i was referring to raw api usage which is what i used for shared progress.

Good to know ty^^

Will we eventually get the possibility to have either an Await or traceback for which player the request was ran(server side) without having to return the uid / id in the response?

[scarlet iris]

Sounds promising. Can't wait for 1.6. Thanks!

[torn bane]

I am not sure what you mean.

[red cedar]

Nvm i just realized that i should refactor my code...

I was reusing the same callback instance for all of my requests of the same type.

Could you just tell me wether it would be a bad idea or not to instantiate one callback instance per request?

[torn bane]

it depends on your needs. if you need context info like which player id it was for then you will have to make a new one every time. does not really matter

[red cedar]

Okk good to know.. currently i was adding the uid as part of the response and iterating through every player to see who has the uid from the response.

Thank you ^^

[undone patrol]

GetPhysics no longer works when referenced.
How can I correctly reference the new logic now?

[boreal swan]

Anyone making an open source RP gamemode here?

[timid citrus]

How long are we looking at until the new save system is in non experimental?

Need to plan if I should keep building my own persistence system or pause and wait to leverage this.

[torn bane]

We want to have 1.6 released as soon as possible. I would not invest any more time into any custom modded solutions that are not based on what exp has to offer

[timid citrus]

Awesome, exactly what I needed.Thank you very much

[analog python]

Is this the reason players lose rank after reconnecting from a crash in 1.6, or is that a separate/new bug? Just trying to figure out if I should submit a feedback ticket

[torn bane]

Known and fixed in one of the next updates

Help please - i changing Transmittin range, save prefab and change in new by the Building conf list, but in game Conflict start - radio still have 2k range (base stay 1 m range), and some wear - in Tools - game it can work normal, but if im upload to WS and start game like DServer - that work like vanilla (2k range) - some one know how it works and how to do custom range wich will work?
