13:19:45.470 SCRIPT (F): Cannot start game. Check log for details!

server runs, people can join it, but when they try to spawn in it just hangs on loading screen

i made no changes from last night to this morning, the update broke it

[torn bane]

Oh maybe you need to use ForceChamber to false.

[torn bane]

This log means the server failed to start. Do what it says. Read the log

[gloomy lynx]

bro i am lol, theres nothing here to indicate why it failed

its something to do with my gamemode, i removed gamemode and i could spawn from camera

(same behavior in editor) was hanging on spawn

what changes are there that were not in the patch notes? is there link to the diff anywhere

the diff link should be included in the patch notes news updates

because u guys always change something thats not in the patch notes

thank you!

[forest field]

weird problem here but probably super easily fixable

it says this "68570C6DF24DE342 1.0.3 not found" but that guid is the mod im tryin to update to v1.0.3

i already deleted it and re downloaded and that did nothing

[coarse pine]

ForceChamber is what exactly? 😅

[desert escarp]

How exactly do we add more scenario properties to the game master menu?

[torn bane]

A method

[coarse pine]

Must be some Bohemia Black Magic method as I cant find anything like that anywhere

[fringe prairie]

it might be a param

[dire sinew]

GM attributes are registered in Configs/Editor/AttributeLists/Edit.conf
The scenario properties just expect the game mode entity to be passed instead of an editable entity component.

e.g. SCR_GlobalCharRegenEditorAttribute

[desert escarp]

Haha I figured it out but appreciate it. Love the config naming

[fringe prairie]

Edit seems to be the name for anything GM related haha
GameModeEditModeEdit

[slow acorn]

Maybe time to rollback to 1.5 for a bit

Even more crashes now

[scarlet iris]

no way

[slow acorn]

You would think this isn’t possible

we heard you liked crashes so we added a crash to the crash for more crashes

[open pier]

With being better at troubleshooting than coding itself(atleast on the enfusion engine). I've felt more useful lately

[slow acorn]

I do enjoy troubleshooting but it sucks I can’t debug the problem deeper. It will be cool when/if it’s figured out

Maybe once I hit 5000 hours in the workbench. Only 3500 so far

[fringe prairie]

Yeah I have tried somewhat but it's difficult to extract logs from console versions of the game. If a developer could find a server where players are constantly crashing, do a playtest with the same mods, and use their tooling to see when and why the game freezes constantly, it would open up the avenue for either:
The core issue being fixed so that mods cannot cause it.
A announcement to tell modders to not do the thing which is causing it.

I've seen here from Mario that it is not the job of modders to try to optimize the game.
Conversely, in the feedback tracker ticket that has been open since May of last year concerning these freezes, Lou said that it is an issue of mods/modders not optimizing. Seeing the issue compound for 9 months with each update is concerning to say the least. If mods are the issue, we need to be told where and why - because the rare minority of modders are going to be able to actively find issues, especially those on a platform they either don't play on, or can't see the logs for.

[desert escarp]

Weve had luck posting our crash ids in enfusion general

Usually Arkensor is able to tell you exactly what caused the crash

Wish there was some API we could use that'd tell us so we didn't have to pester a dev for it

[fringe prairie]

Xbox doesn't give crash id

[inland bronze]

@mellow stump to continue what I mentioned in #enfusion_engine message

Here's an example for what I did for a vanilla weapon, I put this in a component that is in the weapon's prefab:

[Attribute("0 0 0", desc: "Yaw, Pitch, and Roll of the w_sight bone")]
vector m_YawPitchRoll;

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
override void EOnActivate(IEntity owner)
{
    TNodeId sightBone = owner.GetAnimation().GetBoneIndex("w_sight");

    vector mat[4];

    Math3D.AnglesToMatrix(m_YawPitchRoll, mat);

    owner.GetAnimation().SetBoneMatrix(owner, sightBone, mat);
}

[forest sky]

does anybody use visual studio code to mod or make a mod in or for amra reforger?

[restive island]

Which class could I override so players in a fuel truck get XP for transporting fuel from point A to point B, not just the refuel_support XP? They're a bomb on wheels so figure anyone in the fuel truck gets XP for being sacrifices of science.

[restive island]

Wish that was possible, but everything is integrated for Script editor AFAIK.

[noble mortar]

AIRBURST :DDDDD

[forest sky]

It's possible because ik a guy that does it bc he's currently working on a arma life, like he ripped all the stuff from arma 3 and put it in arma

[forest sky]

Bruhhhhhhh I've been looking for a mod that does this lol hurry up with it lmao (jk) 🤣

[noble mortar]

ill try and finish up the framework asap and hopefully everyone can go nuts lol, its mostly just getting the projectile to read the fuze time from the gun thats a pain in the ass because it goes through the player char too.
I searched high and low, even asked creators that were trying 🙁

Main things to check atm are that it works in MP [so getting an otherwise working xm25 to really test it] and i'll still release an SP version for people to fix it if i can't for MP BUT I think should just work 🤞

[mellow stump]

I wrote you a DM

[forest sky]

Bruhhhhhhhh lmk when ya upload the mod man I can't wait to play with it

[modern crane]

Does the EventHandlerManagerComponent work on a weapon or just on a character?
For example the "OnAmmoCountChanged" handler. The wiki says it works on both, but I can't get it to work on a weapon.

I'm running this on the weapon EOnInit event:

EventHandlerManagerComponent eventHandlerManager = EventHandlerManagerComponent.Cast(owner.FindComponent(EventHandlerManagerComponent));
if (eventHandlerManager)
  eventHandlerManager.RegisterScriptHandler("OnAmmoCountChanged", owner, OnAmmoChangeCallback);

Here's the callback function for testing, but it's not executing when firing the weapon.

protected void OnAmmoChangeCallback(BaseWeaponComponent currentWeapon, BaseMuzzleComponent currentMuzzle, BaseMagazineComponent magazine, int ammoCount, bool isChambered)
{
  Print("TEST");
}

I guess the code for the named event handlers is hardcoded since I can't find the scripts that invoke the events, so I can't see where and how they are invoked.

[torn bane]

Yes it comes from game code not script

[modern crane]

Ok, so is there a way to tell which predefined event handlers work on which type of entities?

[torn bane]

No not really. Check vanilla scripts. They are purpose built and added when needed. They usually don't work anywhere else than where we use it

[modern crane]

Ok, thank you. I'll try to work around them.

Just trying to figure out how to detect a weapon firing.

[forest sky]

By chance have a video of how to script with arma reforger code

[modern crane]

It seems these event handlers only work with the SCR_ChimeraCharacter entity that already has the EventHandlerManagerComponent.
Although I was able to add the "OnProjectileShot" handler to the event list manually as it was not there, but it still works.

[modern crane]

I think these are the only official videos at the moment. That's how I started.
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfUcrRpCM_fKjkTrkV-bqnknVbFCPA3YU

You need basic OOP programming knowledge to get much out of them, though.

[elder smelt]

anyone know if there is a way to detect ambient light level as of right now id like to move my Auto on off function of my NVG mod to detect ambient Light levels in the world but fear there is a Hard Engine limit for it

[modern marlin]

Can anyone point me at any resources regarding Enfusion and its threading model? Is it possible for race conditions to occur? ( particularly when using GetCallqueue ... eg GetGame().GetCallqueue().CallLater(SomeFunction, 60000, true); I havent noticed any obvious concurrency primitives so I suspect not, but I'm new to Enfusion so may be missing something.

[sweet badger]

There is no multi threading of scripts

[modern marlin]

Thats what I expected to hear but just wanted to check. Thanks for the help.

[midnight talon]

No multi threading, callqueue is just processed in main thread on a later frame i.e. it's async but not threaded. IIRC it is advised to not overload the global callqueue with your own stuff, rather you should create your own callqueue for your mod/system e.g.

class DL_LootSystem : WorldSystem
{
    ref ScriptCallQueue callQueue = new ScriptCallQueue();

    override void OnUpdate(ESystemPoint point)
    {
        float time = GetGame().GetWorld().GetFixedTimeSlice();
        callQueue.Tick(0.001 * time);
    }

    override void OnInit()
    {
        callQueue.Call(ReadLootCatalogs);
        callQueue.Call(ReadVehicleCatalogs);
    }
}

[modern marlin]

Thanks ... I was thinking about this very thing.

[fringe prairie]

think that is just screen based

[elder smelt]

that blows

[modern crane]

Any info on what the TraceParam class "float TraceDist" field contains?
The description says "traced polygon plane distace". I'm guessing it means distance of the traced polygon plane to somewhere, but where?
It's not to the start of the trace or to the end. Doesn't matter where I trace it from, or where on the face the trace lands, the value is the same for the face that was traced.

[minor agate]

Iirc it would always be zero or one unless you enabled some flag

[modern crane]

I'm getting values of -150 to 150 and everything in between depending on the normal of the face. Ocean surface seems to be 0.
Maybe it's a distance from the center of the face to the nearest aligned axis? When I move the entity closer to the world origin, the numbers get smaller.
Also, opposite faces of a square object seem to give opposite signs, the other positive and the other negative, so maybe the sign is the face direction?

my flags are TraceFlags.ENTS | TraceFlags.WORLD | TraceFlags.OCEAN

[minor agate]

Its just trace distance from start to hit

You are probably into that case where it does not matter to fill it

So its probably just reading junk

We would need to see your entire setup, including the params and the trace call

[modern crane]

I'm starting the trace from my gun when I fire, and no matter where I stand, the TraceDist is the same. But if I move my target entity to a new location, the values change, so I'm thinking it's related to a distance from the face to the world.

[minor agate]

Share the code itself

Otherwise is just guessing and you are wasting your time

[modern crane]

just a sec

I have a lot of test stuff there, I'm trying to condence it to the relevant

[minor agate]

Just drop the whole thing, its fine

[modern crane]

Any ideas?

[minor agate]

DOn't do custom Param classes

TraceDist should always be 0 to 1.0

The extra param classes you see are handled by CPP

and you should not do custom ones from scripts

I guess we should block it

You are reading junk from memory

[modern crane]

Ok, good to know. I'll try it without the custom class.

I saw that the TraceSegment method from SCR_PhysicsHelper calculated the hit position the same way, so I thought it was not available in the TraceParam

thought I'd derive from the TraceParam since there were other classes that did that too.

but I'll make my own container

[minor agate]

If the problem still persists, make a feedback tracker ticket and tag me on it (I have same name there)

[modern crane]

Ok, thank you

[inland bronze]

Is it normal for peertool to return the same PlayerID for peer and client?

[spark otter]

it is for me! But if I keep trying eventually it will work!

wait playerId or UUID?

[inland bronze]

PlayerId, from PlayerController GetGame().GetPlayerController().GetPlayerId()

[spark otter]

I think it always returns 0 on client

Maybe try ```cs
SCR_PlayerController.GetLocalPlayerId()

[inland bronze]

If it's normal behavior for peertool but works on dedicated, then no worries really tbh. Was just confused as why my error print was popping up saying a PlayerId was already registered for my script lol

[spark otter]

at first I thought you were talking about the duplicate identity error on the peer, thats annoying

[inland bronze]

ohhhh like from the backend api?

luckily I haven't needed to rely on that just yet

[red cedar]

Likely ran server side if it returns the same id then?

I never had issues with the pc.getplayerid()

[granite tendon]

class SCR_CampaignMapUIBase : SCR_CampaignMapUIElement
{
  override bool OnMouseEnter(Widget w, int x, int y)
  {
    ...
    super.OnMouseEnter(w, x, y);
    ...
  }
}

is there any way to override OnMouseEnter and call super.OnMouseEnter but not from SCR_CampaignMapUIBase but the one from SCR_CampaignMapUIElement?

[pliant ingot]

only way to do this - override entire file where SCR_CampaignMapUIBase is defined and remove unwanted code

[static vale]

Is there a reason why print wouldn't work in game system OnUpdate? The code runs, just there is no prints working?

[abstract nymph]

Hi any idea why my rendertarget not show the rig of the player ? any solution ?

[river imp]

Rig?

If you're meaning it's not showing your characters head, that's expected because your head isn't rendered in first person.

[sleek moat]

what could be causing a call later to not get called on clients?

[abstract nymph]

Oh, okay, I understand better now. I guess it's only the person watching who can't see their head? If, let's say, another player stood in front of them, would I be able to see their head?

[minor agate]

You know, these are the reasons why it's always better to ask about an issue before trying to figure it out one self. I feel like this would have taken forever to figure out if not aware in some way or another.

Pretty sure it would be quite hard for non modelers

[river imp]

I only know because one of the first things I did early on was start messing with render targets.

[silent shard]

SAW mod?

[worn root]

Hey all, I just wanted to make a really basic component that destroys the engine of a vehicle when the component is initialized with EOnInit(), but a lot of the setters in this engine are actually protected. It's done through hitzones somehow I believe, but I can't find how to work with them. Is there like a GetHitzoneByName() or something? What component actually lets me interact with the hitzones through scripts? I've looked through SCR_EngineHitzone, SCR_DestructibleHitzone and the likes

[spark otter]

Dont remember exactly, but it has the word Damage in it, maybe damageManager?

[worn root]

The first thing I looked at was something called VehicleDamageManagerComponent, but the setters were all protected

[stark cobalt]

What's the best way of spawning a task when two other tasks are completed in the Scenario Framework? The Activation Conditions to do it seemt o be bugged

[spark otter]

Get the hitzone and use SetHealthScaled(float), 1 = full health, 0 = fully damaged.

I would probably try 0.7 or something, not fully damaged.

[worn root]

And the hitzone I get how? Through GetHitZoneContainer() ?

[spark otter]

        SCR_VehicleDamageManagerComponent VDMComponent = SCR_VehicleDamageManagerComponent.Cast(pOwnerEntity.FindComponent(SCR_VehicleDamageManagerComponent));
        array<HitZone> hitzones = {};
        int count = VDMComponent.GetAllHitZones(hitzones);

then loop through to get engine one

[worn root]

Huh, I expected a getter that just gets me a hitzone by it's name or some type of number

Oh well

I'll try this, thank you

[spark otter]

IDK, might be possible, Ive always got all the hitzones and looped through

[worn root]

Oh, well there you go, I looked at where GetAllHitZones even comes from and there's this here too

proto external HitZone GetHitZoneByName(string hitZoneName);

[spark otter]

nice yeah thats probably faster! For what I was doing, I had multiple hitzones that I needed to grab anyways, some even were same type. I doubt there are 2 engines in many vehicles.

fuel tanks, there were 2 in some vanilla vehicles.

[worn root]

Fair. Might need to grab multiple down the road, we'll see

[worn root]

Kind of weird BI didn't have the fuel component inherit from some more generic fluid component. Right now if you wanted to have a water tank, acid tank or other type of fluid tank you'd have to use FuelManagerComponent - for fluids that are not necessarily a type of fuel.

[maiden goblet]

Not sure how they could have the foresight to see someone would want that abstraction. If you're only thinking about fuel tanks its a "weird" idea

[worn root]

Well I mean FuelManagerComponent itself is pretty generic. It allows you to fill a container, drain a container, and have a container leak after it's damaged. There isn't much else it handles. To make it flammable you use a DamageManagerComponent instead, and to use up the liquid you use a FuelConsumptionComponent

It's weird they'd call it FuelManager when nothing in the component strictly makes it fuel

Either way I'm not complaining, it's just a weird choice imo

I was actually planning to make my own liquid component, but then I realized the FuelManagerComponent is not strictly for fuel, it's literally a liquid component that can be used for anything

It's not entirely clear with it being called FuelManager

[red cedar]

In the base there is a method to call gethitzone by name

Also get all hitzones and all the goodies you need

Also if there are protected or private setter you can always cheese it by modding the class and making a public method that just calls it for you

[lilac sundial]

Morning! Been interested in learning scripting for ages now, been reading through the wiki and following some of the examples in there - anyone know of any other learning resources? Tutorials or similar that are simple would also be really good to follow along? 🙂

[red cedar]

https://youtu.be/Fgl_mAHReP4

For scripting you need to watch the bootcamps video on

• introduction to enfusion
• scripting
• replication 1 and 2

And then you should have good enough bases to get properly started and work on your own stuff

The bootcamps vids i just listed are a must watch, you'll be completely lost without those

[kind widget]

Arma Reforger scripts source code is the best learning resource available

[red cedar]

That too but if you don't understand replication you'll be kinda stuck, i feel like the two bootcamp vids on replication are a MUST watch.

At least it's what made me understand the way it works

[kind widget]

Yep replication bootcamps are definitely useful

[red cedar]

Speaking of replication; I HAVE A DREAM, a dream in which custom classes were automatically made compatible with rpc calls without implementing codecs

[open pier]

We share the same dream

Allow me to pass a custom JsonApiStruct as an argument for an rpc call por favor

[glass plaza]

Im trying to build a dayz 2.0 server in reforger. How would I go about using loot spawner mods to get loot to spawn in containers etc

[red cedar]

I mean json structures are less optimized, just an immediate compatibility with replication (or a flag to raise)

Would be PEAK

[open pier]

A lot of my work is with the REST API so Json structs make more sense atleast until I go and learn how a Managed class works

Although to get around(works on workbench, needs tested in a DS env) that, I have a global custom struct variable, and the rpc on the client calls a function that takes that global var as an argument, and inside the function just sets it to itself xd

JStruct struct;
void func(JStruct struct)
{
struct = struct
}

8^) I love it here

[red cedar]

Fair

[serene fox]

Is there a way to open a VehicleDoor without character? i tryed with AnimationComp CMD but this is not working 🙁

[torn bane]

Via the compartment component I think. There is a method for it programmatically for sure, I use it in save game data

[oak thorn]

alls i can find is CompartmentAccessComponent opening doors, which I guess would still require a character 🫤

[red cedar]

Hey, would there be any reason that in a game master context action the hovered entity would be null?

override void Perform(
        SCR_EditableEntityComponent hoveredEntity, 
        notnull set<SCR_EditableEntityComponent> selectedEntities, 
        vector cursorWorldPosition, 
        int flags, 
        int param = -1
    ) 
    {
        LogKittenEye("KE_SpectateContextAction.Perform");
        if(!hoveredEntity)
        {
            LogKittenEye("KE_SpectateContextAction.Perform: hoveredEntity is null, aborting");
            return;
        }
        

So most people who use one of my mod have no issues using the gm action but there is one user for who it just doesn't work the hovered entity is always marked as null and i find it quite strange, is there something i'm missing?

20:07:53.369 SCRIPT : -----[KittenEye] KE_SpectateContextAction.Perform
20:07:53.369 SCRIPT : -----[KittenEye] KE_SpectateContextAction.Perform: hoveredEntity is null, aborting
(The canbeshown also return false if that hoveredentity is null so it's really confusing me)

[shrewd nova]

Maybe can use this for vehicles

#enfusion_scripting message

[serene fox]

CompartmentComp needs char.

[torn bane]

Yeah you are correct, script can not do it at this time. make a modding feedback ticket about it perhaps

[stark cobalt]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the Respawn Limiter mod: https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/65F8F0B85BAAB7F9-RespawnLimiter

            }

Is the error returning because s_blockedPlayers is empty?

[desert escarp]

s_NewlyConnectedPlayer is using remove which will be the index

So if the playerId is 99 its removing index 99, assuming you are removing player Ids from that im guessing that unintended

Change it to RemoveItem and it should work assuming thats line 284

[stark cobalt]

Line 284 is s_blockedPlayers.Remove(playerId) sorry

But I'm guessing its the same issue

[desert escarp]

Same issue then id guess

Yeah haha

[stark cobalt]

I'm new to scripting and its not helped that the comments are all in Spanish trying to fix this haha

[stark cobalt]

I've changed the Removes to RemoveItems, but I'm getting:

scripts/Game/Components/FixComponent.c(6): error: Undefined function 'map<int,int>.RemoveItem'

[desert escarp]

Ohhhh it's a map nvm

[stark cobalt]

s_mRespawnCounts is a map

            if (!pc)
                return;
        
            IEntity entity = pc.GetControlledEntity();
            if (!entity)
                return;
        
            // ✅ Eliminar la entidad por valor (no por índice)
            if (s_registeredEntities.RemoveItem(entity))
                PrintFormat("🗑️ Entidad removida de s_registeredEntities para jugador %1", playerId);
        
            if (s_countedDeaths.RemoveItem(entity))
                PrintFormat("🗑️ Entidad removida de s_countedDeaths para jugador %1", playerId);
        
            s_blockedPlayers.Insert(playerId);
            s_newlyConnectedPlayers.RemoveItem(playerId);
        }
}```

This validated so let's see...

[desert escarp]

Then just leave that for the map, as the Remove method goes off of the Key

[stark cobalt]

Well it's gotten rid of the error, but it turns out that error isn't why it wasn't working haha

[red cedar]

Isn't the .Remove meant for indexes? Shouldn't you use RemoveItem(playerId)?

Tbf if it's not your mod all you can do is report the issue to the mod owner

[stark cobalt]

Yeah that got rid of the error 🙂

[red cedar]

Oooof.... AI code....

[stark cobalt]

AI code? How can you tell?

[red cedar]

Btw if anyone has a clue of what's going on about this issue please let me know.

[red cedar]

• print format
• 🚀 the system has SUCCESSFULLY STARTED

My best advice would be to try to do without ai code, it is a pain to learn properly but it is worth it, unfortunately ai in Enforce has no idea of how to write code that is working properly with Replication (client/server interactions), usually reinvent the wheels in a greatly unoptimized way and as soon as a major update will hit most of your work will require heavy refactoring to get back to a working state

[stark cobalt]

It's not my code

[red cedar]

Oh ok fair

[stark cobalt]

I'm just trying to get the Respawn Limiter mod to work but it is refusing to do so haha

I got rid of the error but it's still not clearing everything on game start - so if you run the mission, die too many times so you go into spectator, then run the same mission again, it will still throw you into spectator

I'm trying to understand how it works but all the comments are in spanish + my scripting isn't great so it's giving me a headache

[red cedar]

I'm not trying to be mean to the mod author but that mod has only 159 downloads, is written by AI, chances are it never worked and is still a WIP, or an abandoned project(the guy hasn't updated this mod in 5 months so the latter is more likely)

[stark cobalt]

Trying to get it to work is probably easier than starting completely from scratch though, if it's working a bit now

[red cedar]

Honestly no.

[stark cobalt]

Fair enough

[red cedar]

Ai code is nearly impossible to maintain without getting severally rage baited, you could get it work but i think it would be wiser to just start from scratch.

You could use the death event to track the number of death in the session of the user using a map of <player_uid, death count> and when they exceed a set threshold you disable the respawn button and assign them to a camera at their last death pos like that mod does.

[stark cobalt]

I'm verynew to scripting so don't know what the death event is xD

Is it OnDestroyed?

[red cedar]

OnPlayerKilled or OnPlayerDied i believe haven't messed with those in a bit

[stark cobalt]

OnPlayerKilled, I have found it 🙂

[ocean kernel]

Looks like AI code, I'd just drop the mod

[stark cobalt]

Yeah, I'm now onto the more complex problem of me learning to script when I haven't done any reforger scripting for 3 years 🙂

[open pier]

Tbf it's not the most complicated thing, just tricky with replication

[stark cobalt]

We shall see if I am crying in a few hours time

[red cedar]

@stark cobalt

[stark cobalt]

Thanks

[open pier]

They detail how replication works for the most part in RplDocs.c, the boot camp videos cover a lot

[kind widget]

Workshop is becoming flooded with fully gpt-generated mods made by people who have absolutely no idea what they are doing, but descriptions of these mods (often gpt-generated as well ) claim that they do something useful, and other people believe it. At best, these mods do nothing (but still get planty of downloads). At worst, they actively make everything worse. I think Bohemia should start doing something about these tons of AI slop.

[red cedar]

How will they detect ai generated mods?

🚀 The system has started successfully

Wait, where is that guy who called modders who don't rely on AI gatekeepers and affirmed he would be having a fully functionial rp "arma life server thing" mod made entirely using AI?

[solid hearth]

Gate keepers? What gate?

[red cedar]

Cline's paywall probably

[spark otter]

probably by using ai? LOL!

[river imp]

Did your cousin write this?

[spark otter]

hahah yea my cuz grok wrote that slop

[maiden goblet]

The workshop was full of slop long before AI was useable.

people just didn't have a word for it until recently

[late kite]

Is there a solution to this? I'm trying to use IEntity::SetObject to swap in progressively more smoked/burned down cigarette models in a character's mouth, but when I call SetObject, the new cig model loses its attachment to the character's skeleton or bone it's supposed to be attached to. When i take the cig out of the mouth slot and put it back in, then the cig appears in the correct position and is attached to the charcter. I guess the other option is to use morphs, but someone said that could be too expensive and model swapping would probably be more performant.

[river imp]

No, the bindings for that aren't exposed.

[late kite]

are cig model morphs a viable alternative? would those cause performance and/or replication problems if 100 people were all smoking at the same time?

[river imp]

Why does the cigarette have the character rig?

[late kite]

i actually don't know a ton about models, rigging, and animations. i'm just doing the coding part. my buddy @random oracle did the models and rigging. is there a better way to set up something like a cig?

[river imp]

Yes, make it a gadget that is held instead of it being a piece of clothing.

[late kite]

would that still make it possible to have the cig sit in a player's mouth? we have a smokeable component that is a SCR_GadgetComponent, so scripting wise, it's already set up like a gadget

[random oracle]

if we go that route we will have to make an animation graph, right?

[river imp]

Yes

[random oracle]

thats why we didn't go that route

[river imp]

Well it's either do that, keep it as a piece of clothing or write your own way of handling it.

[random oracle]

I haven't been able to make sense of animating gadgets

[late kite]

i found a hacky way to keep the new swapped model in the player's mouth using InventoryStorageManagerComponent::TrySwapItemStorages. you basically call that and swap the cig into the storage slot again immedately after calling SetObject

[river imp]

This is why we can't have nice things. lol

[late kite]

yeah it's a dumb solution. but it works?

and it breaks the gadget update. so now i gotta find a hacky way to get around that

[river imp]

Inventories are replicated. I wouldn't use the "swap" approach.

[late kite]

so you think we gotta bite the bullet and go the gadget route?

[river imp]

That's the proper way.

[late kite]

or maybe try morphs. i got that to work where the cig gradually burns down

[river imp]

It's better to go the proper route than pile jank on jank.

[late kite]

but i don't know what the performance ramifications are

[river imp]

If it's a gadget it can have its own animaions.

But you'll need custom character animations too.

There are numerous ways to do it.

But it shouldn't be a piece of clothing lol.

Best to take a look at the flashlight and it's animations.

And it's gadget component.

[late kite]

i was thinking if it's a gadget like the flashlight, it could have an attachment slot in the player's mouth similar to how the flashlight attaches to shirts and vests. maybe?

[river imp]

If it's a gadget you can have hand animations for lighting it, flicking it, etc.

[late kite]

yeah that'd be ideal. we'd just have to get a lot better at animations

[river imp]

That's a skill that you develop over time like anything else.

[late kite]

i'm trying to do all the heavy lifting with scripts because that's all i'm "good" at haha

[river imp]

I'm no animator but, have been able to create a drinking animation, bind and play it from script via input.

[late kite]

yeah i think it'd be good to learn. for the time being we'll have to keep the cigs as clothing until we can do the animations properly

[river imp]

For something like that, i'd look into the hand storage or whatever. Find out how to insert things into it, and when the cigarette is inserted, spawn another prefab attached to the mouth, deleting the one in the hand.

If anything it would be a good learning experience.

[late kite]

cool, maybe we'll try that eventually. thanks for the tips man.

[spark otter]

[modern crane]

What is the best way to simulate a bullet hit on an entity? Is it through DamageManagerComponent?

[versed osprey]

Drive a nail in it.

LOL

J/K

[modern crane]

or do I spawn a bullet entity and give it velocity?

[timid citrus]

If you just want to simulate damage, then the damage manager component.

[modern crane]

Ok. Ideally I'd want all the same effects as a specific bullet hit

[modern crane]

BaseWorld.TraceMove() doesn't seem to trace ChimeraCharacter entities no matter what TraceFlags I put in the TraceParam.
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

There is a ChimeraCharacter.TraceMoveWithoutCharacters() which is supposed to make a trace excluding ChimeraCharacters, so I'm assuming the default trace should include them.

[inland bronze]

Does SCR_CharacterInventoryStorageComponent::SetStorageAsHidden() work? Because it's not hiding the storage in character's inventory, or do I misunderstand what it's supposed to do?

Here's my script for handling it, and it prints saying it's not shown, but it is still very clearly shown. The goal is to have it not be shown in inventory menu when equipped by player

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
override void EOnInit(IEntity owner)
{
    if (!GetGame().InPlayMode())
        return;
    
    m_InventoryStorage = SCR_UniversalInventoryStorageComponent.Cast(owner.FindComponent(SCR_UniversalInventoryStorageComponent));
    if (m_InventoryStorage)
        m_InventoryStorage.m_OnParentSlotChangedInvoker.Insert(OnParentSlotChanged);
}

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
protected void OnParentSlotChanged(InventoryStorageSlot oldSlot, InventoryStorageSlot newSlot)
{
    if (newSlot)
    {
        ChimeraCharacter character = ChimeraCharacter.Cast(newSlot.GetOwner());
        if (character)
        {
            SCR_CharacterInventoryStorageComponent characterInventory = SCR_CharacterInventoryStorageComponent.Cast(character.FindComponent(SCR_CharacterInventoryStorageComponent));
            if (!characterInventory)
                return;
        
            characterInventory.SetStorageAsHidden(m_InventoryStorage);
            Print("CONVICT TEST: IS STORAGE SHOWN?: " + characterInventory.GetIsStorageShown(m_InventoryStorage));
        }
    }
}

[inland bronze]

actually, looking at vanilla script, I don't even see how the method could possibly work ??? It just seems like a dead method because the array it's getting removed from is not referenced anywhere else

[red cedar]

The work can be done in the cpp which doesn't show you how it work behind the scene

[inland bronze]

I mean, maybe, but the array and method are all defined in that script class, so I wouldn’t think it’d be the case of being behind the engine. And there’s no class inheriting from the character storage component, and the array is protected with no getter, so idk.

[river imp]

You're just doing it wrong

[dire sinew]

Yes, it can trace characters just fine, just post what you were doing.

[gloomy lynx]

since 1.6 every time i select the script editor window, it lags for 5-10 seconds before i can do anything or select another editor window

and its driving me absolutely insane

[gloomy lynx]

it even lags if i add a brand new script file, like something is checking all the scripts every time the script editor is active

and makes me wait until the check is over

[dire sinew]

Ah I see that you deleted it again... does it mean you fixed it?

[modern crane]

Yes, I figured out that EPhysicsLayerDefs.Default doesn't include characters

[dire sinew]

You should just not assign the params you don't want to change from default to begin with.

[modern crane]

Yup, that makes sense

[timid citrus]

Can I access all the heads or races from script?

To display them

[modern crane]

EPhysicsLayerDefs.Character seems to include some capsule around the character model.
Do you know which layer the character hit boxes are on?

[dire sinew]

They are FirGeo. You can just check the xob: https://enfusionengine.com/api/redirect?to=enfusion://ResourceManager/~ArmaReforger:Assets/Characters/Basebody/Basebody_Male_01.xob

[modern crane]

OK, thank you very much.

[sweet badger]

I've had a similar issue for longer than 1.6, it happens when there are a lot of mods loaded
It's pretty unbearable tbh

[dire sinew]

Available head and body prefabs can be found in the identity part of faction config. Should be accessible through scripts via faction manager.

[timid citrus]

And what if I don't use faction manager lol?

Its custom game mode that doesn't use it at all

I'll dig around but if anybody knows anything lmk.

[dire sinew]

Every game mode should have a faction manager, otherwise something is wrong with it.

[timid citrus]

No, I built it without it on purpose. Replaced with a job system and custom spawned systems

It is a life mode

[dire sinew]

bruh

[timid citrus]

But yeah, I mean, I can throw it on there.If I have to and if I decide, it's worth it

[dire sinew]

I can't even imagine all the things it could possibly break, but latest when introducing AI, you gonna need it for faction relations.

[timid citrus]

It broke a lot of things, and I had to rebuild custom systems for them.

About six months deep in it now

Probably just do our own ai also

[dire sinew]

Ultimately it's up to you, but I see no reason to go these great lengths to avoid a faction manager.

Anyway, you could ofc just directly load the identity configs and read the prefabs from there

[timid citrus]

Ok tyvm

The main reason is so I don't have to change as much for arma 4

With a bunch of independent systems built on enfusionscriptapi

[dire sinew]

None of us knows how A4 changes, but first of all you have to invest way more now and also there is no guarantee it won't break anyway. I saw plenty of examples where modders went on with their own item prefabs that completely broke after updates, while mine that inherited didn't break, as they inherited the changes needed 😅

[timid citrus]

We still use override prefabs

[worn root]

Hey does anyone know if it's possible to display script variables on screen for debugging at runtime? Maybe it's possible through the debug menu? So I can get in a vehicle for example and have variable X from component X from this specific vehicle and things

[worn root]

Maybe I can do something with DebugTextScreenSpace() actually

[modern marlin]

Can anyone explain the relationship between OnDamage, HijackDamageHandling and ShouldCountAsHit in SCR_DamageManagerComponent. I often see that HijackDamageHandling returns false, and ShouldCountAsHit returns true, but then i see no OnDamage call. This is particularly obvious with rockets to vehicles. There might be many calls to HijackDamageHandling and ShouldCountAsHit ( usually for the spall projectiles only), but the damage from the non-spalled projectile doesn't usually show up via OnDamage even though damage was not hijacked and it should count as a hit. Another example is just shooting an armoured vehicle with a rifle where OnDamageis rarely called even though the other two methods indicate a small amount of damage being inflicted. The only way i can explain this is that my modded SCR_VehicleDamageManagerComponent is being overriden by another mod. I just want to understand the relationship between these calls, So i can explain why OnDamage is rarely called compared to the other calls. Apologies for the essay.

[dire sinew]

How can you even see that HandleDamage is called? You shouldn't be able to override it in the first place, as it's native.

[modern marlin]

Argh ... sorry i meant OnDamage . I think my brain was stuck there while I was typing that up. I've updated my question.

[dire sinew]

Well, this is the flow chart that the devs posted, so either it's incomplete or exiting somewhere that you haven't considered yet: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Damage_System

[modern marlin]

That's very useful. Thanks for the link. Based on that, it implies that a ComputeEffectiveDamage call somewhere is deciding no damage will be dealt. This occurs after HijackDamageHandling and ShouldCountAsHit, so explains why OnDamage is not called.

[dire sinew]

Also there are damage-type specific multipliers defined on damage managers/hitzones. I'm not sure at which point they get applied and when the damage handling is exited in case of a multiplier of zero though.

Good chance it's happening in the native implementation of ComputeEffectiveDamage

[modern marlin]

Agreed. Thanks again!

[proud rune]

how would you guys add a raycast to determine if as character has an object above it? or is there something better built in for that already?

[timid citrus]

@minor agate EnfusionScriptAPI will be the same for Arma4, at least generally yes?

[minor agate]

I will say to not expect things in Game module to be the same

[timid citrus]

Ok cool ty.

Hey @late kite

I'm putting together a milsim event for the squad and plan to use your excellent mods along with the Vietnam War faction ones. To build some hype, I wanted to create a promo video using ArmaVision, but one of the dependency mods (likely yours) disables the function, and I can't find where to override it.

Any tips on how to re-enable ArmaVision for GM/video use without breaking the deps?

Thanks!

[late kite]

Not sure, but I’ll look into it!

[stark cobalt]

Hi guys, I'm trying to use OnPlayerKilled and OnPlayerSpawned to make a Respawn limiter script...

All is going well except that OnPlayerKilled and OnPlayerSpawned seem to need to use static methods, but if I want an attribute to set the maximum number of respawns if I use static the attribute doesn't work

So this returns no error but the attribute doesn't work:

class herb_PlayerRespawnComponent : ScriptComponent
{
    [Attribute(defvalue: "0", desc: "Maximum number of respawns permitted", category: "Game Mode")]
    protected static int MaxRespawns;
    
    static ref map<int,int> ideathCount = new map<int,int>;
    static ref map<int, vector> s_lastDeathPosition = new map<int, vector>();
    
        
    static void addPlayerDeath(int playerId, IEntity playerEntity)
    {
        vector deathPos = playerEntity.GetOrigin();
        s_lastDeathPosition.Set(playerId, deathPos);
        int current = ideathCount.Get(playerId);
        current++;
        ideathCount.Set(playerId, current);
        Print("The player has died " + current + " times.");
    }
    
    static void checkRespawns(int playerId, IEntity controlledEntity)
    {
        int current = ideathCount.Get(playerId);
        PlayerController pc = FindControllerByEntity(controlledEntity);
        Print("Player has died " + current + " times of a maximum of " + MaxRespawns + " times.");
        if (current > MaxRespawns)
        {
            Print("Activate the camera!");
            ActivateSpectatorCamera(pc);
        }
    }

Whereas this gives errors for trying to call non-statis functions and static:

class herb_PlayerRespawnComponent : ScriptComponent
{
    [Attribute(defvalue: "0", desc: "Maximum number of respawns permitted", category: "Game Mode")]
    protected int MaxRespawns;
    
    static ref map<int,int> ideathCount = new map<int,int>;
    static ref map<int, vector> s_lastDeathPosition = new map<int, vector>();
    
        
    void addPlayerDeath(int playerId, IEntity playerEntity)
    {
        vector deathPos = playerEntity.GetOrigin();
        s_lastDeathPosition.Set(playerId, deathPos);
        int current = ideathCount.Get(playerId);
        current++;
        ideathCount.Set(playerId, current);
        Print("The player has died " + current + " times.");
    }
    
    void checkRespawns(int playerId, IEntity controlledEntity)
    {
        int current = ideathCount.Get(playerId);
        PlayerController pc = FindControllerByEntity(controlledEntity);
        Print("Player has died " + current + " times of a maximum of " + MaxRespawns + " times.");
        if (current > MaxRespawns)
        {
            Print("Activate the camera!");
            ActivateSpectatorCamera(pc);
        }
    }

Called via this:

class herb_PlayerRespawnGameModeClass : SCR_BaseGameModeClass
{
}

modded class SCR_BaseGameMode
{
    
    
    
    override void OnPlayerKilled(int playerId, IEntity playerEntity, IEntity killerEntity, notnull Instigator killer)
    {
        super.OnPlayerKilled(playerId, playerEntity, killerEntity, killer);
        Print("Player has died");
        herb_PlayerRespawnComponent.addPlayerDeath(playerId,playerEntity);
    }
    
    override void OnPlayerSpawned(int playerId, IEntity controlledEntity)
    {
        super.OnPlayerSpawned();
        Print("Player has spawned");
        herb_PlayerRespawnComponent.checkRespawns(playerId,controlledEntity);
    }
    
    override void OnGameEnd()
    {
        super.OnGameEnd();
        herb_PlayerRespawnComponent.ideathCount.Clear();
        herb_PlayerRespawnComponent.s_lastDeathPosition.Clear();
    }
}

Anyone know what the solution is? I am new so it might be something very obvious

[languid steeple]

It's likely this one

but not sur !

[late kite]

it's probably something in one of the arma conflict dependencies, but not sure what without digging into it

[restive island]

How can I get the list of all base names using SCR_MilitaryBaseSystem?

[midnight talon]

From map descriptor component on each base

or GetBaseName() if its an instance of/casted to SCR_CampaignMilitaryBaseComponent

[restive island]

thanks, I eventually made it to where I use separate arrays and don't need all the base names

[worn root]

How do you add stuff to / use the DiagMenu? I'd like to get in a vehicle and display variables from the Components it has. It's not explained very well.
https://enfusionengine.com/api/redirect?to=enfusion://ResourceManager/~core:scripts/Core/generated/Debug/DiagMenu.c

Maybe there are examples somewhere in the game code?

[restive island]

Are you modifying how DiagMenu works or trying to get it to work right? If ladder: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Diag_Menu

[worn root]

Well I'm trying to display a float value from my Component I added to a vehicle. For example there is a vehicle diag that when enabled will show you the current steering, throttle, brake input and so on when you're sitting in the vehicle. I'd like to do this with my Component so I can see the value changing live

No idea how I would even add to the diag menu, register my float value there and so on. Both the wiki and the script file don't really tell me much, and there aren't many exposed scripts that give you an example.

[restive island]

best i can think of is utilizing the power of print() debugging to the console whenever your new component class/method is referenced. I'm not that familiar with DiagMenu

[open pier]

try slapping a [RplProp()] above the var that holds the respawn limiter.

I think would work, then in the end of your addPlayerDeath, add a Replication.BumpMe();

Unsure if it works with maps, but if the component is on the chimera character or character controller, i feel like making it an int, instead of a map, would work better. No need to store information about an user on a component on the user

[restive island]

Would I ever need to use Replication to broadcast fuel levels for player-built structures?

[torn bane]

what is the error you are getting? why do you make things static. if you want to count deaths per player and set a maximum i would recommend attaching a component to the player controller prefab, which exists per each player. the respawn system already works with it, so accessing it is easy. from there you can do the rest. if you want all player data in one place, attach the component to your gamemode instead.

[stark cobalt]

If they don't make them static then OnPlayerKilled and OnPlayerSpawned do not work, like I said 🙂

[serene fox]

Hey, question: "SCR_CompartmentAccessComponent - GetInVehicle" This should be called where the character is local. But if i try to move a none player controlled character into a player controlled vehicle. Its not working. If i understand this right, it need to be called on the Master/Server side, because its not a player? Or should it called on the proxy who is owner of the vehicle?

[latent elbow]

thanks for this tip, was having a hard time trying to get a keybind to work xD full reset was the answer

[worn root]

Is there any way to add to an enum in Enfusion? VehicleDamageManagerComponent has the enum for vehicle hitzone groups, and I want to add my own hitzone group. Right now if I try to repair my hitzone it will display some totally wrong hitzone group like "Repair: Controls" or "Repair: Engine" which would just confuse players.

I would just overwrite the enum in my mod but I'd have to overwrite the entire damagemanager as the enum is not a separate file. Some other mod is bound to have overwritten the damagemanager and would conflict.

[midnight talon]

AFAIK you should only need to do that if your override script is 1:1 duplicated path/filename of the original where Enfusion will do full file replacement, when your override script has a different name (e.g. put your own prefix on it) it should do partial replacement/merge of types using modded keyword

[worn root]

Good shout, I'll check that out. Thanks

[candid garnet]

since it got blocked for some reason. question in the pic

[pliant ingot]

Yes, you can mod enums like classes

[pliant ingot]

Afaik, unknown file extensions will be excluded from packed addon, so you will need to place this file into profile folder or mask it by some other extension (like .c but place content in /*...*/)

[torn bane]

I think it was blocked because xyz domains are used for spam so much.

Yes you can open any file extension with that method, but you only have APIs to read text files, you won't have much success with arbitrary binary.

Is it possible to retain an npcs ragdoll state when they die or are moved/pushed? Working on a telekinesis mod and I can’t seem to get a continuous ragdoll on killed or downed npcs

[torn bane]

i believe we forcefully stop ragdoll simulation very shortly after they stop moving much, as ragdoll is ridiculously expensive. not sure if you can manually enter the state again, if not it might be requestable via feedback ticket

[timid citrus]

Are active ragdolls possible for modders?

[crude lark]

Hello, I'm a beginner modder and don't know much, but I'd really like to create my own mod, but it's on hold because I don't know how to create my own logic and integrate it into my mod/prefab.
Thanks in advance!

1. You are not searching for "moving" and do this only in this document
2. Search for IS_MOVING enum value

What is best practice for replication of a client side method?

if (Replication.IsServer())
{
    if (server_side_check())
        client_side_method();
}

(I'm checking player bohemia GUID server side, but teleport player method only works when it's client side).

[candid garnet]

Yeah I'm just going to use it to extend the csv object placer to allow for point cloud data as well in xyz.

[teal vapor]

Random but if anyone's interested in VSCode / Zed editor support I had started a very rudimentary LSP implementation here: https://github.com/landaire/enforcer

And the zed extension is here: https://github.com/landaire/zed_enforce_extension

Can't quite remember where I left off, but I think class and function resolution works but it does not currently support scoped vars etc.

There is zero documentation and you'll probably need to change some hardcoded paths: https://github.com/landaire/enforcer/blob/main/build.rs#L4

It's built on top of simonvic's great work on the tree-sitter grammar: https://github.com/simonvic/tree-sitter-enforce

Does anyone have tutorials or basics that can help beginners?

[timid citrus]

Solid move for modders.

[fringe prairie]

Talking to player controller, back or forth

So you can have methods that communicate intent up to serverside, which can do server only things, or communicate from server to clients, either data, or things that are only client able.

modded SCR_PlayerController and add your RPC methods therre

[oblique swan]

Appreciated, will give it a shot

[candid garnet]

so I just lost all of the plugins like the dedicated server tool. how do I reload them? reloading and recompiling scripts doesn't work. they still exist in the reforger files

they show up in other projects, but this project appears to be borked now

edit: fixed by deleting resourceDatabase.rdb and letting it create it again. very weird bug

[serene fox]

is there a way to check the compatibility of a "SCR_JsonLoadContext" ? My problem: i did some changes on my guns and they are no longer compatibile. If i now load such old Json, the GameCrash. If i delete the old loadout it works fine.

[red cedar]

blip blop blup here comes the stupid questions :

class CodecOclock
{
    private const int BYTE_SIZE = 52;
    
    float m_floatVal; // 4 bytes
    vector m_vectorTransform[4]; // 48 Bytes
    

    static void Encode(SSnapSerializerBase snapshot, ScriptCtx ctx, ScriptBitSerializer packet)
    {
        snapshot.EncodeFloat(packet);
        snapshot.EncodeVector(packet);
    }

Would using EncodeVectorwork for the transoform or should i use something else ? since it's an array of vectors rather than a "simple" vector ?

Thx in advance ^^ (found no use it in reforger's code)

[red cedar]

if you added new values to your new version of the json try to load those and if it's null it means you're reading an older version and then handle it.

[serene fox]

But how do i know if a prefab is still compatible or not?

[red cedar]

idk, idek what you're trying to do or what json you're reffering to so i am not sure what you're trying to achieve

[torn bane]

It should usually not crash, just return false at some point. can you submit a feedback ticket with the json file you attempt to load and an example code to load it - which reproduces the crash?

We have added a "version" property to any data written for persistence as very first thing so if you want to change the layout, you can raed it back, and switch the reading code for what ever properties to expect in the given versions

[torn bane]

A hole transform is 4 vectors, you you would call encode vector 4 times to copy the entire transform over

[red cedar]

would this extract method be correct ?

    static bool Extract(KE_CameraData prop, ScriptCtx ctx, SSnapSerializerBase snapshot)
    {
        snapshot.SerializeFloat(prop.m_targetCameraFov);
        // transform        
        vector trans0 = prop.m_vectorTransform[0];
        vector trans1 = prop.m_vectorTransform[1];
        vector trans2 = prop.m_vectorTransform[2];
        vector trans3 = prop.m_vectorTransform[3];
        snapshot.SerializeVector(trans0);
        snapshot.SerializeVector(trans1);
        snapshot.SerializeVector(trans2);
        snapshot.SerializeVector(trans3);
        // end: transform
        
        return true;
    }

That's the only way i found to feed it all of the vectors "correctly" and still allowing it to compile

[torn bane]

@minor agate any opinion on this?

[red cedar]

i might've fucked up the implementation of the codec but as of right now the float value get properly sent however the vector is received as a bunch of vector.zero

it's just that since i will end up sending a lot of data i want to do it the proper way rather than to cheese it by dumping everything through individual rpc params

[minor agate]

@red cedar Can you share all the methods of the codec?

[red cedar]

Sure, i'll send it in a file to avoid having a text wall.

I'm trying to properly learn how to implement those.

[minor agate]

In inject, you are injecting to the local vars you created in the method. Not to the class's

[red cedar]

oh i see it now

nvm i don't

[red cedar]

Ok so i got it to work using SerializeBytes

    static bool Inject(SSnapSerializerBase snapshot, ScriptCtx ctx, KE_CameraData prop)
    {
            
        snapshot.SerializeFloat(prop.m_targetCameraFov);
        // transform        
        snapshot.SerializeBytes(prop.m_targetCameraTransform, 48);
        // end: transform
        return true;
    }

Is there a way to make it work using SerializeVector or not ? if so how ?

[minor agate]

Serialzie the whole array with bytes

Do not separate vector by vector

Super wasteful perf wise

[red cedar]

Ok that's good to know, for strings and such i should still use SerializeString right ? (not an array of strings)

[minor agate]

We do not have such thing as array of chars exposed in script

It's a string object, so yes. use the string one

[red cedar]

Thank you

[versed osprey]

I am running into a problem. I am trying to fix the SCR_TimeandWeatherHandlerComponent. The issue is the attribute for the number of days in a month only goes to 12. I am trying to increase to at least 28. I've put in a feedback ticket and BI said they fixed it, but I haven't seen it yet.

So, I thought as part of my learning to script, I could try and fix it by modifying the script. But nothing I do changes the component to allow setting a date higher than 12. I even just tried to change the defvalue to 5 to see a difference. I am missing something.
I created a new script "BHS_TimeAndWeatherHandlerComponent.c"

modded class SCR_TimeAndWeatherHandlerComponent
{
    
    [Attribute(defvalue: "1", UIWidgets.Slider, desc: "Day", params: "1 28", category:"Date")]
    protected int m_iDay;
    
}

I've tried copying the whole script and doing overrides where indicated but that did not work either.

[crude lark]

Thanks for the advice! I watched these video courses a long time ago, but I didn't understand the gist of it. That's why I'm writing here, hoping for some help.

[balmy kayak]

Is there an event or method anyone knows of on an Entity to observe when replication has finished updating the client? I have a weird race condition where the entity's sub entities aren't fully spawned for the client before my code runs. I want to run my code only after the entity has finished being set up on the client, preferrably without just using a CallLater call.

[candid garnet]

afaik, you can't override/mod attributes. you would have to make a new attribute var, or make a whole new class that has the attributes you want.

[versed osprey]

Understood. Thank you.

[candid garnet]

So for instance, make your new attribute variable, then override SCR_TimeAndWeatherHandlerComponent::OnWorldPostProcess to use your new variable instead of m_iDay when SCR_TimeAndWeatherHandlerComponent::SetupDate is called

[tawdry flume]

Oh, that would be great, and it would be even better if JetBrains IDEA supported it too.

Hi. How can i get steamId64 from player in client-side? Thanks.
PlayerController playerController = GetGame().GetPlayerController();

    string playerUid = GetGame().GetBackendApi().GetLocalIdentityId();
    Print("This is player ID " + playerId);
    Print("This is player UID " + playerUid);

[torn bane]

You do not. We do not expose platform identifiers to script, use the identity provided by https://enfusionengine.com/api/redirect?to=enfusion://ScriptEditor/Scripts/Game/Utilities/SCR_PlayerIdentityUtils.c;7

This is UUID is unique?

[sleek moat]

Is it possible to create a custom log file to print specific things to or is the only way using json?

[candid garnet]

FileHandle::Write as well as SCR_FileIOHelper::WriteFileContent if you want to just keep overwriting a file instead of making new ones

[sleek moat]

Can you dictate the file type too?

[candid garnet]

I've only worked with existing files atm, but theres FileIO::MakeDirectory which might do what you want in creation. Keep in mind, only text based files. No binary.

[sleek moat]

Thanks I'll check it out!

Good day all again,

I would like to get some opinions on converting sqf to enforce script. Possible? Difficulty? Don't bother?

I have some Arma 3 sqf addons I would like to convert and create for A4.

[candid garnet]

You wouldn't really be "converting", you'd be taking an idea and implimenting it in new code on a new engine. I would first look to see if you could even impliment a specific idea in the current engine/data structure.

[torn bane]

Not possible, neither technically not conceptually. Two way too different approaches to "scripts"

[errant fog]

Is there a built-in way to generate a GUID in Enforce Script? Something like System.CreateGUID()?

Sigh... why are prefabs that are trees, WorldEditorAPI.CreateEntity creates them using ATL but when you use say a rock, it creates it using ASL (or whatever editor 0 absolute y is)...

both trees and rocks are created using the same algo and same data to test

[open pier]

From what I can see is you're trying to reinvent the wheel on json parsing. I'd def look into whats available through the JsonSaveContext and JsonLoadFontext

[candid garnet]

so the question is, how do i determine if a prefab uses coords which are absolute or relative?

[river imp]

I have a "utility mod" that does that.

[thin radish]

ADD ME BACK

[river imp]

Just send your message or whatever

[minor agate]

Go to the entity properties

Flags

Relative Y

[candid garnet]

Can I add this flag during creation? Doing the creation, quats, etc all through script.

[minor agate]

SetFlags from IEntity

@minor agate any way to get a fast moving projectile to simulate outside world bounds? Basically trying to simulate 155mm rounds that have a high arc. Right now they just delete above the world bounds

[spare kraken]

Could someone tell me how to get player's ID and write to and from a file on a dedicated server? Also, where should I put this code. I'm just starting off and trying to implement a simple json database/file for my server, to spawn a returning player to the position he logged off at and new player to a predefined location.

BIKI says BackendApi.GetPlayerIdentityID(int iPlayerId) on 'Game Identity' page. Is this the one I should use? If so, how?
I saw a message by Arkensor here pointing to UUID GetPlayerIdentityId(int playerId). Would it then be SCR_PlayerIdentityUtils.GetPlayerIdentityId(int playerId)? What do I put in the parameter if I don't know the ID?
I can't find any good tutorial/documentation of this.

I tried going through Arkensor's code on Github in EDF/EPF/EL repos, EveronLife/src/Scripts/Game/Feature 'Character' and 'Account' folders in particular but I can't figure it out. I'm not experienced with coding, especially object-oriented. I would appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction, since chatGPT is kind of useless for this.

[inland bronze]

Have you looked into the vanilla persistence system that was recently introduced? https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/1430828753717559430

I would think it’d cover most of what you’re wanting already

[spare kraken]

I just watched a video on it. The reason I wanted to write my own code for this because I was planning to introduce other character stats, like money for example. I don't think it's possible with that? Also, the video said it crashes after 999 saves, is it still the case?

[inland bronze]

You can add onto the existing persistence to track things like money and etc., very easily possible. For example, I use it to track metabolism values of a character, like hunger, thirst, etc (all that being custom-made).

I think the 999 saves crash has been fixed, whether the fix has been released yet in a game update, unsure. But I assume by the time that your mod is prepared for release, the persistence system should be ironed out even more and that shouldn’t be an issue

[spare kraken]

Could you explain to me why it keeps so many savepoints in the fist place? Is there something I don't understand? To restore server after restart you would only need the last one, am I right?

[inland bronze]

Yes and no, but from my understanding, essentially the persistence system was more-so built around the vanilla game-modes. Doesn’t mean you can’t use it custom game-modes, but it requires some tweaking for long-term persistence.

Arkensor (the dev behind it) could probably explain it much better. But I believe having the many save points is just for flexibility. Like, if you have auto-save set to every 10 minutes, that’s a save point every ten minutes. Let’s say something happens detrimental to the gameplay and you didn’t realize for multiple save intervals; because of the many save points, you’re able to go back and recover it still instead of just relying on the latest save with the issue or having to wipe the entirety of the database because of that one mess up

There’s plenty of resources and questions from others that have been asked in the https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/1430828753717559430 if you wanna take a look in there and scroll through a bit. And if you have further questions, don’t hesitate to ask them!

[spare kraken]

Cheers! I appreciate it

[torn bane]

SCR_PlayerIdentityUtils is the way to go, the wiki page was created before it existed. it will be updated in the future when we remove GetPlayerIdentityID from backend api as well as all the other obsolete marked methods. we have a large refactor incoming how we handle identity and authentication so apis will change. the script wrapper used by vanilla everywhere will stay comaptible. thus use it

[torn bane]

because the system can handle both single player and multiplayer content. in SP people are used to having multiple saves to go back to if they want to. multiplayer can indeed be fine with just one to recover from crashes, but you can also host a coop mission you want to go back 3 points, skipping two auto saves, because you want to try the final approach from another side without a full replay. server admin will be able to choose how many save points to keep in 1.7 with config.json

Also by default it only keeps 10 and rotates the old files out

[spare kraken]

thanks, Arkensor

[ocean kernel]

Something like this I feel might need some jank like spawning a new round around where it would be re-entering the world bound ceiling

[timid citrus]

Why not just make the world bound huge. Weather doesn't work outside of them either.

[pliant ingot]

Because you can't do this universally for all

Modding worlds is just f*cked in reforger

[timid citrus]

Agreed.

[mild quarry]

Could you guys have printed a deprecation message and disabled this API instead of removing it outright? I understand it was being abused for exploits but this breaking backwards compatibility could have been easily avoided

Its actually really interesting

[static vale]

so basically attributes now go in class data

[solid hearth]

If you don't plan on modifying them yes. It's been a thing for awhile just not widely talked about. I guess the issues with xbox having poor performance boils down to memory and this is them trying to cut back on the usage.

question about custom chat commands, so i have made my implementation that implement ScrServerCommand

But i am not sure how to reference it, whenever i try to type it i get this error :

I assume i'm missing a step but i'm not sure where i can indicate that "hey this command exist now"

[errant fog]

Okay, i have to try the obvious first, are you sure you are typing it correctly? it is case sensitive

[red cedar]

override string GetKeyword()
    {
        return "find";
    }

yes

is there like a manager entity or a game mode component we have to register our command at ? or a config file iunno

I havent registered mine anywhere, just implementing ScrServerCommand

Can you send the class here maybe?

of course

Hmm, i cant help you with this sorry

Blip blop blup

Even a client sided command need to override

This class gets the island name somehow. Not entirely sure. You can see it the bottom right of the map ui
SCR_MapLocator

[errant fog]

Hmm, not sure i get how it does it either 😄

I was most of all hoping for something like GetGame().GetWorld().GetName()

But seems i can only get the name/filpath of the scenario.. and not the island

[pliant ingot]

Who even changes the API in a MINOR update?

[red cedar]

Me

[mild quarry]

I believe that API was being exploited by hackers

[open pier]

Which our server fell prey to a couple times now, never wouldv'e thought to look in a script we don't use ;-; glad it's out, boutta search for that function to see if its exposed anywhere else

[timid citrus]

Is the ide support planned to be in 1.7?

[fringe prairie]

technically the world is the scenario, so it's hard to get the "real scenario name", in an ideal world the original name would be in the scenario name (like how GM on Everon is, guess it: GM_Everon), good luck getting people to name their scenario in such a way.

[errant fog]

Yup... and i am trying to make an AAR system, so i kinda need some unique identifier for the island, to link it with the correct map in the webapp

[fringe prairie]

What I ended up having to do was create a master config which puts name > map

[torn bane]

no, the concept of just freeely asking the server to delete something is completly insane. And all the method did was call the delete entity from utils class, so if you needed it on server logic just use that. if you wanted to call this from the client, rethink your approach, its wrong

[open pier]

More so I put 2 and 2 together and was wrong, never have personally used it and if I did I already know to throw it into something the server will be doing. Atleast was able to piece together you should never allow the client to delete/spawn/teleport anything, also you get yelled at in the logs if that happens to happen(prob where i learned that from).

I always try to add something to indicate that this action should happen from this player before it executes completely, best I can do with the knowledge I have

[red cedar]

world.FindEntityByID(entityId) doesn't work client side ?

[torn bane]

It does work, but the entity ids are not replicated, they are local to each game instance. if you want to reference a replicated entity, send its RplId instead.

[red cedar]

oh ok, i also have another question regarding the launch params so i have set my WB launch params to
-nds 1 -nwkResolution 10
to make the replication range as little as possible but i see that game master still load way further than that, is there a way to set the game master's replication range ?

fair lmfao

[dire sinew]

This mod exactly disables this behavior for anything, but players in GM:
https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/60B2AD8092C4C94A

[red cedar]

ok i'll give it a shot

also, do anyone know if i search an entity by it's RPL id (client sided) do i have to be within replication range to get a non null result ?

[dire sinew]

Bottomline, there is that GM by default has no replication range at all. It streams in everything.

[desert escarp]

Yeah it has to be in your bubble to grab it

Replication.FindItem() returns null otherwise

[dire sinew]

Yes, you ofc do. No proxy streamed in, no way to get anything but null.

[desert escarp]

You could disable streaming on that entity you are trying to get but it just depends on what you are trying to do

[red cedar]

no need to, i already have a working code where i await that the entity i'm looking for is loaded on the client's side.

I was just wondering if there was a way to cheese it

[dire sinew]

You can just use ctor/dtor for detecting that a particular class got streamed in/out on the client.

[solid hearth]

But I need that replication stalled in my life

[kind widget]

Oh, you finally fixed this exploit. Great.
What about other public methods that allow clients to ask the server to perform actions?
As far as I remember, cheaters were able to spawn items and use GM privileges via script execution of such methods. Is that fixed as well?

[solid hearth]

I would assume whatever was in the Security Patch 1 (mod) that was published over the holidays is included in 1.6.0.119

[torn bane]

We are fixing all issues we are aware or or being made aware through proper means (e.g. private feedback tracker ticket). If you know of anything and also have some idea what is being exploited how then feel free to submit a ticket so we can check if it is already on our list.

We have a lot more coming but we started with a few low hanging fruits.

[red cedar]

also is there a more convenient way to load pluggins on a peertool instances ? having to get the order right is very tedious for me

it's ⁨cs SetTotalFuelPercentage(float percentage, SCR_EFuelNodeTypeFlag hasFuelNodeFlags = 0, SCR_EFuelNodeTypeFlag ignoreIfHasFlags = 0, SCR_EFuelNodeFlagQueryType queryType = SCR_EFuelNodeFlagQueryType.ALL_GIVEN_TYPES)⁩

need all of the parameters for the method

[restive island]

I need to include all params in the override and super?

[inland bronze]

Yes. So it'd be like:
⁨```cs
override void SetTotalFuelPercentage(float percentage, SCR_EFuelNodeTypeFlag hasFuelNodeFlags = 0, SCR_EFuelNodeTypeFlag ignoreIfHasFlags = 0, SCR_EFuelNodeFlagQueryType queryType = SCR_EFuelNodeFlagQueryType.ALL_GIVEN_TYPES)
{
super.SetTotalFuelPercentage(percentage, hasFuelNodeFlags, ignoreIfHasFlags, queryType);
}

[restive island]

thank you, that made it reload scripts without errors. Learning c++ as I go 🫡

[errant fog]

Im looking to extract the map of islands, f.eks a sattelite map of Arland
Anyone knows of a way to do this?
I want to extract it as .png

SCRIPT (E): execCode(6): error: Method 'SCR_CampaignMilitaryBaseComponent' is private
Why is the log saying this when the method is not private? Just trying to pull the base name where a structure was built

[open pier]

Try SCR_CampaignMilitaryBaseComponent.GetBaseName()

[restive island]

huh...Trying to call non-static function 'GetBaseName' as static
ive seen that before

Maybe this'll work, it's empty right now so ill test in WB game

[restive island]

Blast, it won't print anything when a structure is built

[minor agate]

I think you will just have it better watching one of those 1 hour youtube videos about OOP

You are running into some basic mistakes that it is better to just start with that

[restive island]

impossible, this whiskey makes me an expert in everything.

[clever oxide]

Hi! I try override static method but always the original runs, i don't understand why.

1. Tried inherit child class and use override static method. Result the original script's breakepoint stopped the game.
2. Tried use modded class with override static, result again the original runned.
3. Tried modded class with his parent and override static method.
   Where is my fault?

no compile error, not looks sealed class

[fringe prairie]

did you compile/reload?

Also it says it uses objects currently known class, so if your class is ClassB : ClassA, and things are asking about ClassA, ClassB is not known to them

should be able to use modded keyword and override, would need to see an example

[clever oxide]

⁨⁨```
modded class SCR_PlacingEditorComponent : SCR_BaseEditorComponent
{
override static SCR_EditableEntityComponent SpawnEntityResource(SCR_EditorPreviewParams params, Resource prefabResource, int playerID = 0, bool isQueue = false, SCR_EditableEntityComponent recipient = null, bool canBePlayer = false)
{Print("test");
..........ect.....}
};

[fringe prairie]

ah you don't need to do that, do this:

⁨```
modded class SCR_PlacingEditorComponent
{
override static SCR_EditableEntityComponent SpawnEntityResource(SCR_EditorPreviewParams params, Resource prefabResource, int playerID = 0, bool isQueue = false, SCR_EditableEntityComponent recipient = null, bool canBePlayer = false)
{Print("test");}
};

[clever oxide]

it was the 2nd try, runs the original script not the modded

[fringe prairie]

without the ⁨ : SCR_BaseEditorComponent⁩ ?

[clever oxide]

ye

and next try is the class somethingclass : SCR_PlacingEditorComponent and override

[fringe prairie]

where does SpawnEntityResource live? It also might be game code

nvm

the override will only apply in something class if you do that

which means you must make sure that SCR_PlacingEditorComponents are changed to your new class if you want your override to be functional

also that you reference your new class when casting

[clever oxide]

i want use modded class, because i not want change other files for it. i just want add some new lines, my script invoker sends the entity towards from this static method

[fringe prairie]

yeah modding keyword should function, not sure why not

[red cedar]

It should work. Did you recompile your script after modifying it?
(Ctrl shift f7)

[clever oxide]

ofc, its 2 days old problem, there was some WB crash and restart since then 😉

somebody can test it? maybe need use -clearsettings on WB startup parameter

[red cedar]

And when you put a breakpoint in the vanilla method it properly hit it right?

[clever oxide]

yes

[red cedar]

I'll get myself a coffee rq then i'll take a look at it in the WB.

[spare kraken]

Hello,
I want my character to spawn to the position he logged off at. How would I achieve it? I just set up a basic scenario. In Slot1 I set SpawnPoint_CIV.et for 'Object to Spawn' and GameModeSF currently has SCR_MenuSpawnLogic set. What exactly do I need to modify or code on my own. I realize it might be too complex to fit in one message. Maybe someone can provide some examples for it? Do I need to write my own Spawn Logic? how can I simplify it as much as possible?

[red cedar]

first of all for me it doesn't compile

[clever oxide]

what is error message?

[red cedar]

no return statement, the return canal expect a SCR_editableEntityComponent.

this works to compile it
⁨```
modded class SCR_PlacingEditorComponent
{
override static SCR_EditableEntityComponent SpawnEntityResource(SCR_EditorPreviewParams params, Resource prefabResource, int playerID = 0, bool isQueue = false, SCR_EditableEntityComponent recipient = null, bool canBePlayer = false)
{
Print("test");
return super.SpawnEntityResource(params, prefabResource, playerID, isQueue, recipient, canBePlayer);
}
}

[clever oxide]

sry i was only write test print because original was too long, i use copy of original codes
forgot SCR_EditableEntityComponent retun

[red cedar]

may i ask you in what folder is your modded file ?

[clever oxide]

Scripts/Game/Components

[red cedar]

scripts should have a lowercase s iirc

nvm im seeing the same issue as you are

ok so @clever oxide

i don't know what you're trying to achieve with the mod, if you're trying to modify the behavior of how the game spawn stuff then this likely won't help, however if you're just trying to like detect when a GM spawn somethnig you can do it this way :

⁨```
modded class SCR_PlacingEditorComponent
{
override protected void CreateEntityServer(SCR_EditorPreviewParams params, RplId prefabID, int playerID, int entityIndex, bool isQueue, array<RplId> recipientIds, bool canBePlayer, RplId holderId)
{
Print("test");
super.CreateEntityServer(params, prefabID, playerID, entityIndex, isQueue, recipientIds, canBePlayer, holderId);
}
}

I think you can't override static methods ??? regardless this method does call the same one you were trying to override so there is likely a way to achieve a similar or identical goal from here.

[clever oxide]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Scripting:_Keywords#override
This page doesn't really mention this. 🙂

but last try is hard overwrite with full path and filename

[clever oxide]

ty, i get other way just wanted understand this thing

[red cedar]

yeah i know. i just don't understand why the both of us aren't able to override that method, hard overriding the path won't help.

i'm just assuming it's because the method is static and i don't remember overriding a static method so.. i'm just assuming i could be totally wrong

honestly it fucked my brain trying to understand why something as simple as printing didn't work

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1462460055898165322/1467104535888658463/rahh_cat.gif

[clever oxide]

Hard overwrite (file based) works fine, but in this way i need full copy of original file with some path and filename, not need modded and override keyword
i want avoid from this type of modding because its maybe more maintenance-intense when game updates coming out.

[red cedar]

Oh ok i didn't know it was even possible

[clever oxide]

trick from MarioE, he said 1-2 years ago if i remember good 😄

[red cedar]

Oh i didn't even own the game then lmao

I'm still confused as to what made it impossible to get the override to work as it should

[clever oxide]

When he comes, he'll hold his head and fix everything in 5 minutes. 😄

[red cedar]

I'm still fuming mad that custom chat command don't have to be referenced anywhere, just implement the class and it somehow works ???

[fringe prairie]

yeah, i mean it probably registers itself in engine

[red cedar]

I mean yeah but i just like consistency so like registering a component inside of an entity made sense to me, same for registering a system in a config file or an infodisplay in a component, etc.

And then there are chat commands that are just magic

[fringe prairie]

i mean when you think about it, yeah they require chat entity to work, but those commands are tied to game code and RCON as well, so it makes sense for that to be kind of different

[red cedar]

fair

honestly i'm just whining because i did my first command thing a few days ago and couldn't figure out how to reference it, wasted a few hours on it only for it to just "work".

i think it's more frustration of not understanding how it works behind the scene

[clever oxide]

Possible get script trace? Or i need write planned VME for get error log with list?

[ocean kernel]

There's a couple, like, levels to this. One thing is not understanding how it works, another is weird design. The latter is very prevalent ie. you cannot intercept server commands, you cannot use inheritance fully with commands and so on.

[ebon rose]

Hey. I have a question. Does anyone know if there's already a freely available script to automate things like vanilla barrier gates, so that when a car or person approaches the gate, it opens automatically?

[minor agate]

Static calls are selected at compile time

Not runtime

Its why they are also "faster"

@clever oxide

[minor agate]

You can

Just the selected method to be called is done at compile time, which depending on when references of the method tried to use it. It might be old one or new one

I will write some example later to give the idea out.

Also why modded keyword behaves a certain way here with overrides on static.

[young zinc]

is there a path on the diag menu that shows me every script that gets executed as it's being called? so i can find out where ccertain things begin etc

[shrewd nova]

No

God forbid we get any diag tools like that

Trying to debug this game is the same as owning a old Audi with the electrical wiring falling apart

[young zinc]

print() it is

[ocean kernel]

Define old, my 1.9 diesel told me what's wrong through the OBD port

[shrewd nova]

All Audis before 2000 have biodegradable wiring sheaths

[ocean kernel]

Whew, lucky me

[shrewd nova]

If you move any of the harness it cracks all the insulation

[midnight talon]

Your best bet for this is to use script debugger and set breakpoints in scripts you suspect being called, when triggered it will pause execution on them allowing you to inspect call stack and step through execution

[fringe prairie]

there is a really funny thing you can do when you make your own callqueue and redirect the entire game to it

[open pier]

[fringe prairie]

Was using it for a mod to see what was exploding the call queue for reference, you can also clear it but it might mess up things that run on it

[west prism]

What’s the best game mode to use for a Life server if I don’t build it by hand?

[gloomy lynx]

u pretty much have to build it yourself

no vanilla game mode really does what you would want for a life server

[west prism]

I’m still very new to this whole scripting gig but I think I’m in the right place for questions considering the familiar Discords

[west prism]

So if I’m building the game mode by hand, how would I get it to assign players to a faction I.e Civillian vs Police or military?

[gloomy lynx]

this guy has a framework for life server stuff here:
https://github.com/Arkensor

[west prism]

Right on, I’ll check it out my man, thank you.

[west prism]

Okay, after checking, it’s Everon life, I want to stay away from using it as a dependency so the water marks and stuff are not showing up, I’m building my own proprietary system, I’m under the impression per the licensing I can modify the water marks and names? I don’t want to carbon copy this.

[gloomy lynx]

you can change all that, there are no water marks

the only thing is the "everon life" on the bottom of the screen

which you can change

everything related to everon life is open source

[west prism]

Would you be able to assist and provide guidance on tweaks for this?

[gloomy lynx]

u can use it as a base to build your stuff up from

[west prism]

Can I copy the files and inherit them? Or do I have to use this as a dependency and just credit the author?

[gloomy lynx]

the license should be on the git somewhere if you want to know the knitty gritty of it

AFAIK the fuel type does not matter (yet?). So you will see diesel, petrol, kerosene in some SCR files but it looks like they're treated the same

Thx, I got it to set the fuel level for for gas stations, vehicles, and structures (helipad/fuel depot/veh dept (conflict). Very strange, seems there's more than 1 gas tank on some things

[torn bane]

i'd stay away from everon life, i have not maintained it since the original few weeks of development time and it is quite frankly bad in every way imagine able. you are better off starting from scratch

[minor agate]

Does it also have bad refs?

[solid hearth]

Personally i'd stay away from life in arma in general but that's just me, I just find it pointless

PVP disguised as a RP server

[tawny lotus]

I have an array defined in a component:
⁨⁨[Attribute("", UIWidgets.Object, "Destinations")] ref array<ref SDRC_FlyPathPoint> m_vFlyDestinations = {};⁩⁩
All good, works as expected. In the prefab I try to define multiple items. From the code within the component, I can only see one item in the array ⁨⁨m_vFlyDestinations ⁩⁩.
What am I missing to access all three array items?

[torn bane]

Nothing, it looks correct. Make sure you are loading what you think you are and restart workbench

[tawny lotus]

Seems that ⁨⁨= {}⁩⁩ was the issue. It clears the array. Defining it like this works: ⁨[Attribute("", UIWidgets.Object, "Destinations")] ref array<ref SDRC_FlyPathPoint> m_vFlyDestinations;⁩⁩
Bug or correct behaviour?

[west prism]

Damn don’t tell me that. I want to build RP so bad

[torn bane]

intended

[torn bane]

then build it, but with your own building blocks 😉 the most difficult part - persistence is now in the base game so you can do the peach farming part

[open pier]

Definitely don't let it discourage you from doing so, maybe take inspiration from Everon Life but don't use it completely.

Our mod was initially based on Everon Life, which was phased out over the course of a year with some bits remaining due to its utility. You do have quite a lot to learn though

[pseudo tide]

I don't understand people's reluctance to create life mods. If it's possible in Fivem, why not do it here? People have always created mods in games that allowed them. And now the veterans who created these types of mods themselves are against them 😄

[solid hearth]

I'm the opposite view, I just don't see a point when FiveM exists. GTA is quite literally the best thing to build on for that type of stuff which is why I find it pointless. Some may see it ironic given well.. me.. but back then FiveM wasn't a thing, if it was I wouldn't of wasted my time

[pseudo tide]

I can understand that on the one hand. Because roleplay on English-speaking Fivem servers is good. Here in Poland, it's terrible, which is why I do it xd

[open pier]

I've been trying to recreate the experience that I had back in Arma 2 Life days, just need a jihad car at this point. Any Life server/community owner seems to be the minority of server owners on here, but also run into a lot more problems it seems like

[forest arrow]

Hello. I need two events or methods which I can override to use my own logic

1. When player take specific item from arsenal. Or just take item with name .
2. When player move to seat in vehicle (move from one seat to another and getin to seat using door)

Who can help?

[maiden goblet]

Money is one motive. There was big money in Fivem modding for both server owners and modders. This game no money in it.

[coarse bane]

This is probably a problem for the entire RP community, because once upon a time, people wanted to play, there was no money involved, everyone just wanted to have fun, and now...

[red cedar]

I mean the tools are there and i think this is one of the game that offer the best possibilities and documentation. So if one of you is passionate about rping you can always create whatever you need

[pseudo tide]

Thats true

We are creating a server for gamers, by gamers, not for profit.

[open pier]

At a minimum, it'd be nice to offset the server costs. Even with monetization approval, our community wanted something else so we went with that. Rather have the player base than the money.

[pseudo tide]

We want to show the FiveM community that in this game can be done better 😉

[river imp]

Money is always involved whether you see it or not.

[open pier]

Lets start low, 256 player count

[pseudo tide]

That's true, I hope it will be bigger in Arma 4.

[maiden goblet]

One advantage this game has over fiveM is you have control of AI. Can maybe do some fun/creative things like AI police with that.

[pseudo tide]

Yeah exactly

[open pier]

Definitely something i'd like to dabble in in the future. I figure there'd be ways to make AI drug buyers and whatnot. Got a static solution for that rn, but someone actually walking around instead of just standing there would be sick

[solid hearth]

Slow down there, lets try fitting more than 80 in the same spot without the server exploding first.

[pseudo tide]

That would be great. AI bots walking around the city.

[open pier]

tru tru, never forget your

if(!Replication.IsServer())
return;

in user actions

You learn a lot about replication when dealing with constant entity deletes in dense areas, the whole bubble pops

[river imp]

Or just make your useraction local only.

[open pier]

Depends on the action, sometimes setting that makes the action not work as needed, although every one of our open menu actions has it, else it opens it for everyone in the bubble

[river imp]

Yes, and if the server doesn't need to do anything then it needs to only be perfomed locally.

[open pier]

Indeed

[storm shore]

Am I still meant to be pressing 'Ignore' on this popup every time I validate my scripts? I remember this from a few months ago, didn't expect to still see it tbh

[river imp]

yes

[fringe prairie]

the action should not have any serious mp logic tbh, you could not do checks on the action at all and the components/managers that it talks to should be in charge of rejection, that way it works in SP and MP

Here's an example of one way to do this, I use this pattern with the MFD framework as the RplProps holding the page states are always synchronized.

[open pier]

I'm not worried about SP as much as I work on a life mod, although the pattern may help as this stuff gets twisted in my mind

[fringe prairie]

Yes, and for your issue of a player using an action affecting other players, ensure you return true for local effect only, or if you need server to be aware, return false on can broadcast - otherwise the server will automatically trigger the action for everyone in the bubble, resulting in your menu script triggering for other players lol.

Otherwise a good pattern I found is:

LocalEffectOnly for UI
UI loads and talks to SCR_PlayerController
Player controller RPCs to server method
Server method collects data and sends it back down to player controller
UI pulls data from player controller when updated.

[open pier]

Yee we got a handle on that, but as I said sometimes returning true for local effect only would cause the action to not work as intended. Thats atleast outside of menu actions

[fringe prairie]

That's what I did for TDL to send requested changes (like player callsign set in the menu) to the server - though player controller might not be the best to use - it allows selective transmission unlike managers which will replicate for everyone.

[open pier]

Thats essentially the pattern i'm working with as I deal with player data quite a lot and we're 'modernizing' by switching Many user actions into a menu

[fringe prairie]

Yeah it seems to be the best way to do it, and it's kind of "anti-cheat" because you don't have the sensitive data stored on objects in the world everyone has access to

[open pier]

Anything that needs manipulated outside of the user is normally stuffed in a controller/manager

[red escarp]

I’ve actually been working for quite a while starting with Everon Life and your persistence scripts. I’ve been building on top of them until now. Do you think I’d run into major issues if I completely drop Everon Life? Also, is there a big difference between your script and what’s currently in the base game? I feel there is, because I know where the player data is saved, and I’ve modified it to support multiple characters—each one saves in the same place but has its own unique ID.

Is there good documentation for the game’s persistence system? Or is it very different from your script? I know how each component works in my version—for example, components for cars, the player, and I can add other things like food and drink—but how different is it compared to the base game’s system?

Sorry for my questions😂😂😂

[midnight talon]

Definitely a good idea to drop EL+EPF asap. New vanilla persistence system can persist most things out of the box and is easy to add custom stuff. Migrating from EPF a lot of the patterns are similar but everything is configured from system rules instead of directly on components

There were links to some docs or something near the top of https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/1430828753717559430 I think, otherwise there are a heap of usage examples in vanilla scripts

[ocean kernel]

Does it mean they are synchronized for clients that arent even in the vehicle?

[pliant ingot]

Why Rpc to server itself? Rpc is ifed for IsServer-only, but RplRcver is Server, so it just equal to directly call function, just not in current call

[forest arrow]

Hello. I need two events or methods which I can override to use my own logic

1. When player take specific item from arsenal. Or just take item with name .
2. When player move to seat in vehicle (move from one seat to another and getin to seat using door)

Who can help?

[junior aurora]

I mean it partly depends on what your end goal is.

[past berry]

Any easy way to attach entity on dynamic objects? (Door,Vehicle,Character etc.)

[fringe prairie]

It’s an array of ints, so yes it is synchronized for everyone but only page state and power state, simulation is client side, and only when the player is in the vehicle.

[fringe prairie]

Example is a bit chopped, yes a check is probably unnecessary since the call would be dropped anyways, but that pattern would apply more accurately to client side UI (that isn’t a user action which can be implicitly registered by server)

[formal marten]

Would it be possible

To create a halo style degredation mechanic in Reforger?

Eg being able to blow the gun or hatch of a tank, or bend and break apart the gun shield on a turret?

I don't wanna spend time making unique damage models if I can't in some way get it to behave nicely in the enfusion engine

[fringe prairie]

You can swap models/prefabs. the way I’d imagine it working is having a “base” which doesn’t deform, then having preset prefabs for each damage phase, when one is destroyed (via damage damager) enable the next phase?

[formal marten]

That is basically how halo handles it so based

Thanks for the info

[storm shore]

I keep getting these 'Assertion failed' errors when I place NPC's I've made onto the terrain.
First it says "Reason: Condition '!BadVec(mat.Position())' has not been meet, once I click ignore it says "bbox.IsValid() has not been met"

These are just duplicate NPCs from other NPCs I already have placed, and it only seems to happen sometimes, sometimes removing them and re-adding fixes it, otherwise I have to create them again.

Any ideas?

[minor agate]

How and where are you placing them? Are you scaling them?. Are you messing with the basis vectors of the transform?

[visual widget]

So im having this issues explained in the video to showcase, i was working on a new component script for my character based on an other one that was already working, but to make sure i didnt break that one i created an other one, that seem to be working at first with the settings, but once i pressed play to check it out my wokbench died, when i opened it again, my prefab was empty, just had the basic entity with not a single component in it, i had to recreate the whole prefab from scratch, i deleted that script, recompiled the scripts and stuffs, but now whenever i try to apply my old working component or any other by changing it, it doesnt allow me, but doesnt give a single error, any suggestions or help is rly appreciated it. Thank you

[storm shore]

Just placing them in the editor, they're basically just a default SCR_ChimeraCharacter with some actions changed, so not messing with anything in transformation at all.

[storm shore]

But then I delete it from the editor, drag in another of the exact same version, and no problem now.

[restive island]

Is there a server-wide event I can use to track if any faction built a service station? I'm looking at using ** SCR_NotificationPlayerBuildService** somehow, just need to pull the name without knowing the playerId, structure GUID etc.

[minor agate]

Afaik those entities of regular characterd for players sould never be spawned by world file

[radiant robin]

Is there a way to swap materials on a prefab via script? pls ping me if you can help

[inland bronze]

⁨SCR_Global.SetMaterial()⁩ may be what you're looking for?

[radiant robin]

thanks ill look into it

[fickle widget]

sounds like some workbench caching, i had something similar with a prefab not updating. in the end had create a new prefab with a new name and delete the old to make him recognize my changes. just a thought. in the end i deleted the .meta file too iirc, but i think recreating with a new name was key.

[worldly pier]

im making a event crate script but im getting errors

[somber kayak]

Hello, i searching guy to help me with my campain mod with AI, i've proposition

[red cedar]

#creators_recruiting but i'll be honest you're unlikely to find anyone

Most modders are already tied to a team or working on their own project. You won't find people by pitching an idea, you'll find people by showing what you already have made.

[somber kayak]

i know, i've already do my scenario i've juste problem with AI, i would like to AI spawn only when players was in 500m around... actually my AI was already spawned at start...

[red cedar]

Well for that you'd need to write your script. It's nothing too crazy

[somber kayak]

i watch a tuto on youtube but that doesn't work

[red cedar]

Most likely some deprecated code then

[somber kayak]

i think so i'm lost with this

[midnight talon]

try spawning them as ambient patrol groups, the ambient patrol system has logic to only spawn AIs when players are nearby and automatically despawn when there are no players near

[midnight talon]

you probably wanna override ⁨SCR_PlacingEditorComponent.OnEntityCreatedServer⁩

[somber kayak]

okay thank you, i test that

[torpid sand]

Hi guys how to read mouse scroll wheel values bot hpositive and negative and in general too other vlaues
i have gone thorugh the documents but i havent fot very specifc answers

we have context
context contains actions
and we also have keybinding for menu setups

explaination would be great but atm im only looking for mouse scroll values

[abstract nymph]

Hello, I moved all my scripts to a new project, and since then, all my scripts no longer exist in the Workbench, even though they are still there. They are gray instead of green, and I have no idea how to fix this. i try reload et validate script but not works... any idea ?

[fringe prairie]

Swapping materials is done via set VObject it seems, unless that changed recently

Which can break anims, etc.

[radiant robin]

i just ended up swapping prefabs instead of materials

[fringe prairie]

Are they in the right folder? Aka Project/Scripts/Game

Or whatever module they should be in (GameCode, etc.)

[magic plume]

Anybody knows what could cause this ?

[sleek moat]

A lot of things 😅 recently for me it was due to lots of replication calls happening in a short space of time and it falling apart i believe

The logs will tell you a bit more than the popup, look a few frames before the kick

[magic plume]

For me it's a few seconds after spawing in the world. It only happens on dedicated server and not relevant logs

[magic plume]

I’ve tried many things. I will take any suggestion lmao

[timid citrus]

Start eliminating things, either in the hierarchy or mods.Until it goes away and then slowly add things back until you isolate it.

@hazy ether what was yours from?

Rpl crash

[compact oak]

does anyone know why the Project realism planes wont let my server start say "Cant compile game script module" and something about too many instructions per function

[hazy ether]

It was 1 of 2 things... i think it was when I deleted several prefabs from my world and replaced them and made sure to override them instead of duplicating... or it was when I went into my server files and deleted all my previous saves under that scenario

[midnight talon]

Sounds like broken scripts in that mod, will be unusable until the author fixes it

[red cedar]

Look at the reason it can't compile

Can be a duplicate class name for example

[abstract nymph]

Yes they are well in the good gamecode folder I was careful... I don't know how to correct his

[fringe prairie]

I'd look into DestructionMultiPhase component, seems to have what you need out of the box (haven't tested it but it exists and is vanilla, so might save some headache)

[desert escarp]

Is there anyway to restart the server in game script or would I have to communicate to an external process

Also how can I restart a server in a way that allows everyone to instantly reconnect? Ive seen it where a public server goes down and I instantly reconnect to the new scernario.

[open pier]

There is a way through script and definitely preferrable as the game will be able to clean itself up. I also believe there are ways to restart the server itself and change the scenario running without a complete restart, look at whats available in the gamemode scripts

[desert escarp]

Yeah the current scernario reload method is broken as of 1.6

[red cedar]

That's only possible on servers with low pop because of the jip error that arrived in 1.3

[open pier]

[red cedar]

Now you have to GetGame().RequestClose(); on the server so that it can fully restart the server which is the same as having the -autoShutdown cli param

[desert escarp]

Ah so is there anything fancy I have to do or just call RequestClose() and players will automatically connect back afterwards?

[sturdy iris]

can anyone sned me a zip file download for kunar zombies and its requirement workshop keeps glitching

[open pier]

We use the RequestClose, it takes a second but the reconnect feature in the main menu will let them rejoin after the server is ready again. They don't stay in the server at all, they get kicked back to the main menu and that 10s reconnect timer starts

[desert escarp]

Ah okay bet thank you

[open pier]

ig i should say that my server starts back up because my docker container puts it back up

[red cedar]

No they won't. Since 1.3 you can't get a populated server to gracefully restart

[desert escarp]

Im in a constant state of purgatory

[red cedar]

Before that you could just request another scenario and it would work fine (at the expense of proper memory leaks)

[open pier]

How do you run your server?

[desert escarp]

We have our own server box where we just launch it with a powershell script

Currently we just swap the scernario id and ctrl + c and run it again

Just looking for a way for players to auto connect again as scernario loading in game is busted rn

[open pier]

I feel like some magic with batch could be possible to do that, might not be as graceful as youd like but still hands off

[desert escarp]

Yeah that was my first thought process but if graceful restarts aren't a thing anymore then Im not gonna invest the time

[lunar spear]

hi, anyone know the author's contact info of this mod?

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/6884BEDB4F582595-AIMortarFireSupportSystem

[fringe prairie]

1.3 also introduced the freezing which was reported and ignored, saw a post though from Mario saying they are looking to try to test game updates with mods. Not asking to be hand held but would love if they picked a high pop public PvP server, copied the mod list, and tested that with dev kits to find common issues (either mod based, or game based)

[ocean kernel]

Shitty workaround: kill the server while it's loading the world, swap scenario and start it. Games will receive a timeout and will reconnect after 5 seconds.

For everon this is ~74 seconds after the conflict round ends. From experience.

[compact oak]

I have the ability to read Ik that I’m just curious if anyone may know why thanks to all that responded tho🤣

[fading heron]

Hey, can someone explain to me what I need for a missionHeader setup? or where I can find information about it, or a small example. for example for this bool "[Attribute(defvalue: "true", desc: "Whether the MiniTab can be Used.")]
bool m_bIsTabMiniAllow;" or per config/Profile

[river imp]

No one can possibly know why from reading the vague sentence you posted.

[river imp]

There are like 14 mission headers in base game that you can look at.

If you're meaning how to add attributes to one, it works like everything else.

Hey, who prefixes their scripts with BS_?

[restive island]

Thanks I'll check it out tonight and see if I have better luck

[compact oak]

I don’t know anything about how these things work that why I was asking y’all lol

[open pier]

Well what mods do you have loaded?

[river imp]

In order for anyone to know anything about it, we need the actual errors, not a vague description of them.

But since you know who the creator is, you should be on their Discord asking them.

[left pendant]

oh god, I'm helping someone by building out a custom arsenal and they got a lot, I just know its not in my arsenal or my conflict layer

[river imp]

No one knows better as to what's going on in their mod, than the creator.

[open pier]

Gotta get with them to figure it out, or search through the mod folders looking for scripts prefixed like that.

[compact oak]

I’m just keepin the energy the same as it was dealt out boss. Like I said I don’t know how this stuff works just lookin for an answer or a direction to go in but if people wanna respond to my questions half cocked I’ll meet n greet right back but any who thanks for the directional advice have a nice day.

[clever marlin]

tough guy alert!

[compact oak]

I do have a genuine question about one of your mods if you do have time to answer out if curiosity

[compact oak]

Not my goal just don’t see the point of hostility just bc I’m not knowledgeable on the subject

[river imp]

There was no hostility.

[open pier]

the answer you got at first was accurate and then you were hostile. If you toss a picture of the log in here that you don't know about we might be able to actually help.

[compact oak]

Then I apologize for my responses hard to gauge a lot of that over text

[river imp]

No worries.

But we can't help you with a vague description. In most cases we need the actual log, and in even more cases we need to see the actual scripts to fix the issue.

But as I said, in this case the proper channel would be to contact the creator.

[sleek moat]

Also seeing this on our server

[compact oak]

When I get home I can post a pic of the log if it’s something you may know about

If not then no worries I’ll dig around for their discord

Those kind of logs are why I'd encourage to prefix script with the mod GUID in some form

[open pier]

just saw this pop up in my logs

[left pendant]

I killed the mod load and just loaded my arsenal build and the map build, no more run away error. Now to just slowly add things back in.

[open pier]

wish i could do that, was investigating another issue and saw it. Loaded all the mods up that we have on the server in workbench and there's 0 scripts related to it

[sleek moat]

I was having the same issue, do you use improved blood effects? I've just version locked that to 1.4.8 and it seems to have stopped

[open pier]

Indeed we do, also loaded the mod in wb and found the script, ig i didnt have it loaded with the others, thought it was a dependency. Thank you ill lock the version

[late locust]

How do I make a quaternion array? Something like ref array<ref array<float>> ?

[torn bane]

Since they have fixed sizes a static array would be better. float quat[][] in the dimensions you need

[late locust]

Is there a way to put a static array in a normal array? like ref array<float[4]> or something?

[torn bane]

Not sure, do you have a dynamic amount of quaterions? have you considered making a small wrapper class called quaterion that is just some vector3 members or something? you could store that as ref array

[late locust]

oh true, I can just make my own quaternion class

[mild quarry]

Can we use preprocessor directives between two mods?

Like:
Child mod:

#define CHILD_MOD

Parent mod:

#ifdef CHILD_MOD 
…
#endif

[tawny lotus]

Yes and no. In my experience they mostly work and then with some other mod or file it does not. I think it relates to file order/naming. So ... if you define it early in your directory structure and call the file AAA_smth.c, it should work.

[mild quarry]

Ah thanks. Will give that a shot

[pseudo merlin]

But this is workbench only i guess.

So they may don't work in-game.

[sleek moat]

Can anyone explain why a call later or eonframe in a component on a generic entity would not be being called on clients?

[torn bane]

Did it set the frame mask? So are you sure the call later was queued? Are you also sure the entity was not streamed out an in again in the mean time?

[sleek moat]

Yeah I had .Frame set and it didn't work, no prints from on frame

And the calllater was queued as far as I know (I had a print to check) but it did not run the function

I don't believe it was streamed out and in, it periodically runs anyway and they are stood next to it. Plus rpl is not set to spatial so it shouldn't get streamed out

[restive island]

How can I call this for newly built prefab? This causes VM errors and probably isn't the best way because I'm a c++ newb. Trying to go off of the filename when a base structure is built

[open pier]

You have to instance the component, not sure where the component is at exactly but before you print hte selected prefabs youd have to do

foo = SCR_PlacingEditorComponent.Cast(GetGame().GetGameMode().FindComponent(SCR_PlacingEditorComponent));

The GetGame().GetGameMode().FindComponent(SCR_PlacingEditorComponent) may be different in order to find the component

[river imp]

I've seen you call this C++ numerous times and I'd like to clear up some confusion that you have. The engine is written in C++, the scripting language is Enforce Script.

In regards to your post. What exactly are you trying to do?

I can happliy joing a VC if you'd like.

[restive island]

Making it so anything with a fuel depot has limited fuel. The first built at each base will have a certain amount of fuel.

1. pull the latest prefab that was built
2. if the prefab file is x, y, or z AND it isnt in a list, set its fuel to 100 gallons then add the basename to an array

yes i can do VC

[river imp]

https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/360679067395031050

[fringe prairie]

! prefix works well to ensure that it compiles first

And obviously it only takes effect in that module (Game should be used in 90% of cases anyways)

Not true, you just need a file with a prefix so it compiles before other files in the mod and other mods with the define, which will make that define exist any time that mod is loaded. Defines via project settings may be supported now with 1.6, but script has been the way I have done it for my projects.

[tawny lotus]

In the filename or the parameter?

[pseudo merlin]

Alright.
Thanks you. 👍

[cunning minnow]

First time fellas bare with me!

3 essentially custom factions how do I now set this up for when I spawn in I can click between each faction and play as that faction?

[torpid sand]

is procedural animation window broken or smth???

[cobalt radish]

afaik you need faction keys for all of them also you should register the faction Enums. Then in your scenario(world editor) you need to put the faction configs into a Faction Manager. And you need some spawnpoints that belong to the corresponding factions.
Enums and keys will help you on adding custom loadouts to your faction. You also need to set up the faction loadouts the player is spawning with.
There are some really good tuts on yt on doing all of this.

[cunning minnow]

got any links for me pls

[cobalt radish]

Blip blop blup back at it with my stupid questions :

I wasn't able to figure out how to get the english value of the string #AR-Weapon_M16A2_Name, anyone know where i can find those or if there is a helper that can help me grab those quickly ?

Thanks in advance ^^

[red cedar]

i do see a code sample that uses
notificationMessage = typename.EnumToString(ENotification, m_Data.GetID());

But i wonder what's the typename for weapons / vehicles

[restive island]

Maybe try this out: #enfusion_scripting message

[red cedar]

Tysm !

i'll see if it works but it looks like what i need

[restive island]

man you helped me out with that too, was trying to figure out that junk bc its in the prefabs lmao

[red cedar]

"victim_weapon_name":"M16A2"

[late locust]

What exactly does the condition:!BadMatrix33(val) mean?

[torn bane]

Usually that you have have an inf or nan value somewhere in it

[red cedar]

this is a bit of a silly because i feel like i should know by now but when we create a component, should we use the componentClass to store attributes or not really ?

Is there any advantage to storing attributes there instead of simply in the component

[dire sinew]

See #enfusion_generic message
The component data Arkensor is talking about is referring to the componentClass.

And it's basically a form of the flyweight pattern if you want to look up the concept.

[red cedar]

that's really nice to know

i'll def look more into it thanks a lot kex

How can I prevent character falling animation? charController.SetOrigin(vehicle.GetOrigin()+ Vector(0.5,0,0)); vehicle.AddChild(charController,-1);

You can reach it as well if any of your basis vectors in your transform matrix is Zero vector after doing some operations on them

this guy I am watching for a tutorial is making a custom faction. He is now duping "EEditableEntityLabel.c" over to his files and able to change the files code. This is so I can have my faction label set as Faction_Police...

Any ideas why this is not working when I am duping them across?

If that's how he showed you how to do it in the tutorial then you should stop watching that video.

[cunning minnow]

okay sweet, how should i do it then?

[river imp]

I may have misinterpreted what you were implying in your post it might be a good tutorial. But if it's not explaining how to mod that class and the fact that you have to compile scripts for scripts to "update" then it can't be that great of a tutorial.

[cunning minnow]

yeah I can't seem to get it to function i'm going through the wiki now to see if that helps but I genuinely can't override it at all

[river imp]

You can override it. When you duplicate a script it's required to have a completely different name (in 99.99% of cases).

[cunning minnow]

i even tried that 🙁 ill show with a screen rq

i can dupe

not override

[river imp]

The link i sent explains exactly what to do. Not in the greatest English, I'll give you that.

[cunning minnow]

haha ill look at it now

[cunning minnow]

can only dupe

[cunning minnow]

which i duped and did this

[river imp]

compile the scripts.

[cunning minnow]

did that 🙁

oh

it worked that time HAHAH

[storm shore]

Could anybody suggest how I could achieve something similar to Arma 3's attachTo, between two player characters?
For example, an escort script. I've tried a few things so far and not had much luck, I realise it might not be pretty but I'm happy to look into any suggestions

[red cedar]

If you're referring to the way handcuffed dude were getting transported in A3 i can think of 2 ways, one that might not be pretty and one that might not simply work/be possible.

1 : manually set the transform of the escorted player as the escorting player's transformation (with a slight projection in front), would have to do that every post fixed frane.

2 : i don't know if you can simply add the other character to your character hierarchy??? Maybe?? I know in the world editor everything in an entity's hierarchy will move with the parent object

[cloud rock]

You could take a look at how ace has done the carry function

[shrewd nova]

[inland bronze]

Question: if I put a print in the constructor of a custom class and reference the custom class in another class, with ref, would it print or no?

Running into the issue of seemingly my class instances are doubling, or even quadrupling in some cases, after the loading of persistence. And can't really identify whether it'd be a bad serialization on my part or bad code that references the custom class (or both)

[minor agate]

ref usage will not duplicate the class instance

[inland bronze]

gotcha, so I was probably chasing the wrong thing and it's probably an issue with my serialization, thank you!

[midnight talon]

Is there any chance we can get stronger compiler type safety between int and float usage? It's possible to accidentally pass a float to functions that only work with int and not get any compiler warning instead just causing weird and hard to debug issues

[minor agate]

No because it is an implicit conversion and by design

[midnight talon]

Doing it seems to cause random issues that might not be immediately obvious, in my case I was adding custom budgets for build mode and when I accidentally forgot to make the value of one an int the budgets would all work on first open of a building provider, but subsequent opens would inexplicably cause all budgets except for props to be disabled entirely

If it has potential to cause stuff like then it seems like there shouldn't be this implicit conversion as it can cause unpredictable issues at runtime

[sweet badger]

Can you give a concise example with code?

If there is such an issue, then that's a bug and not something inherent to implicit conversion.

[midnight talon]

Sure, I have this override for ⁨⁨⁨⁨FilterAvailableBudgets⁩⁩⁩⁩ to compute and inject cash + rep budgets based on the supply budget.

Everything works fine with this example now, but originally I mistakenly was passing a ⁨⁨⁨⁨float⁩⁩⁩⁩ as the value for rep budget. Everything would work as expected on first time accessing a building provider but subsequent opens had all budgets except for props disabled (not just my custom ones even other vanilla ones like supply and cooldown vanished from budgets array).

Since there were no runtime errors and the compiler provided no useful warnings about me passing a float where an int was expected I was only able to figure out the cause by random trial-and-error

Relevant override included below, if you want all the scripts to try running it I'll be pushing it in next update for DE shortly
⁨⁨⁨⁨```cs
override protected void FilterAvailableBudgets(inout notnull array<ref SCR_EntityBudgetValue> budgetCosts)
{
if (!trader)
return super.FilterAvailableBudgets(budgetCosts);

    DE_EconomySystem economySystem = DE_EconomySystem.GetInstance();
    
    float repRequirement = 0;
    int supplyBudgetValue = 0;
    for (int i = budgetCosts.Count() - 1; i >= 0; i--)
    {
        SCR_EntityBudgetValue budget = budgetCosts[i];
        
        // cache supply budget to generate cash budget from
        if (budget.GetBudgetType() == EEditableEntityBudget.CAMPAIGN)
        {
            supplyBudgetValue = budget.GetBudgetValue();
            continue;
        }
        
        // read item-specific rep requirement
        if (budget.GetBudgetType() == EEditableEntityBudget.REP)
            repRequirement = budget.GetBudgetValue();
        
        if (!IsBudgetAvailable(budget.GetBudgetType()))
            budgetCosts.Remove(i);
    }
    
    // inject cash and rep budgets for any item with supply budget
    if (supplyBudgetValue)
    {
        float cashValue = economySystem.SupplyToCashValue(supplyBudgetValue, trader.traderMargin);
        int budgetValue = cashValue * economySystem.vehicleTraderValueMultiplier * economySystem.intPrecisionFactor;
        ref SCR_EntityBudgetValue cashBudget = new SCR_EntityBudgetValue(EEditableEntityBudget.CASH, budgetValue);
        budgetCosts.Insert(cashBudget);
        
        // if no item-specific rep requirement set, check for rule to apply based on supply cost
        if (!repRequirement)
        {
            float repMult = economySystem.vehicleTraderRepValueMultiplier;
            float repCashValue = supplyBudgetValue * repMult;
            ref RepSupplyCostRule foundRule = economySystem.GetRepRequirement(repCashValue);
            if (foundRule)
                repRequirement = foundRule.repRequired;
        }
        // if a budget value is typed as float, all budgets break!
        int repValue = repRequirement * economySystem.intPrecisionFactor;
        ref SCR_EntityBudgetValue repBudget = new SCR_EntityBudgetValue(EEditableEntityBudget.REP, repValue);
        budgetCosts.Insert(repBudget);
    }
}

[sweet badger]

intPrecisionFactor data type is integer?

[midnight talon]

yes, originally I was passing ⁨⁨⁨float repRequirement⁩⁩⁩ directly and it was breaking budgets, by trial and error I tried passing a static ⁨⁨⁨int⁩⁩⁩ in and it fixed the problem so I updated it to multiply floats by the precision factor and explicitly assign to an int before setting as budget value, then divide by precision factor again before showing in UI

The problem makes total sense now my gripe is just that I feel like the compiler obfuscated that problem from me due to the implicit conversion being allowed but seeming to not work as expected at runtime here

[sweet badger]

Works for me 🤷‍♂️
Or do you mean something else?

[midnight talon]

yes the ⁨SCR_EntityBudgetValue⁩ instance seems to create fine as expected and as I said the budgets all work fine in first use of an entity spawner/building provider but upon opening it a second time they would all break

[sweet badger]

What do you mean by "opening it a second time", what happens on a technical level?

[midnight talon]

It's based on Conflict Vehicle Service building setup, here are 2 example videos, the only difference between these 2 runs is in the broken (first) example I changed the type of ⁨repValue⁩ to ⁨float⁩, so ⁨SCR_EntityBudgetValue⁩ is being passed a variable initialized as a float and implicitly converted. The working example is passing a variable explicitly assigned as an ⁨int⁩ as in my example code above

[sweet badger]

I recommend doing some debugging with breakpoints to check where the origin of the issue is

[midnight talon]

Note how in the broken example subsequent opens of the build menu don't apply any budgets to catalog browser entries, it seems somehow all disappeared/got removed from the building provider's ⁨⁨m_aBudgetsToEvaluate⁩⁩ except for ⁨⁨Props⁩⁩.

Just because a float got auto converted to an int instead of explicitly assigned as one before being passed to a function expecting an int??? how does that make sense??? for the use of auto conversion to cause such radically different behaviour something is definitely broken here

If auto conversion were functionally equivalent to using an explicitly assigned int then there would be no difference in behaviour here

[midnight talon]

If you create a similar float value budget and inject it into budgetCosts in an override on SCR_CampaignBuildingBudgetEditorComponent.FilterAvailableBudgets I think you will experience the same issue upon opening a vanilla Conflict vehicle service provider sign

Where on the first open vehicles you don't have enough supplies for are locked out, but close and re-open the menu and suddenly the supply budget has vanished and UI shows everything enabled

Hello.
Cant fix the problem with spawn in water. On kolguev it works fine, but on Everon not.

I have vector (lets image that Y is random). How can I check if this spawn point will be in water? Ignoring Y, or getting lowest terrain point by Y

[pseudo merlin]

Iirc this worked for me.
SCR_WorldTools.GetWaterSurfaceY();

Look it up in Script Editor.

[forest arrow]

Will try. Thanks

[pseudo merlin]

There is also:

Can't remember which one i used but i think it was the first one.

Let me try. Thanks

Could someone who understands scripting, let me know if I can do anything to fix this, or should I ignore it?

I created this, using the Base Deployable Inventory Item component. It throw's this error in the console log as soon as I save the prefab, and then whenever I use the prefab.

are you missing something in the component? go to that class and look at line 52, thats where the null error is

[cobalt shadow]

Maybe it's throwing the error because the damage component was turned off on the replacement prefab?

[candid garnet]

yes, damageManager is null

there isn't a null check in that method so it just crashes

so add back the SCR_DamageManagerComponent

I turned on the damage manager, now I'm getting errors for default hit zones.
