Bis location

[luckyhendrix 10]

I wondered If there is a list of all location name for chernarus zagrabad and takistan. I'm talking of location name like : bis_loc_acityc_Staroye, bis_loc_acityc_Msta ... that can be used, for instance with this line of command :

BIS_alice_mainscope setvariable ["TownList",[bis_loc_acityc_Staroye,bis_loc_acityc_Msta]];

EDIT: If there is no list. how could I with a script find the nearest location from my position , cause in OA they are some settlement wich does not even have a name so I cannot even try to guess the location name.

You may access the config, there's your list. Check configFile >> "CfgWorlds" >> worldName >> "Names".

Maybe the following script comes in handy:

fn_extractConfigEntries.sqf:

/*
  Author:
   rübe

  Description:
   extracts config entries into an array with the use of custom
   selectors and a custom filter.

  Parameter(s):
   _this select 0: config/path (configFile/-Path)
   _this select 1: variables (array of strings/variable-names AND/OR 
                   code given the current class, returning any AND/OR
                   boolean to retrieve the current class itself (true) 
                   and the className (false))
   _this select 2: filter (function given the entry, returning boolean, 
                   optional)




  Example: (retrieves all CityCenters on the current island)

   // this will define the structure and contents of the arrays
   // we'll get back! (same order!)
   _cityCenterVariables = [
      false, // retrieve className
      true,  // retrieve the config itself
      "name", 
      "position", 
      // custom selector/manipulator:
      { 
        [
           (getNumber (_this >> "radiusA")), 
           (getNumber (_this >> "radiusB"))
        ] 
      },
      "type", 
      "speech",
      "neighbors",
      "demography"
   ];

   _cityCenterFilter = {
      if ((getText (_this >> "type")) in ["CityCenter"]) exitWith
      {
         true
      };
      false
   };

   _entries = [
      (configFile >> "CfgWorlds" >> worldName >> "Names"),
      _cityCenterVariables, 
      _cityCenterFilter
   ] call RUBE_extractConfigEntries;

   // (count _entries) == 46
   // (_entries select 0) returns:

sorry but I don't really get how I should launch the script. Is all this the launch command ? :

_cityCenterVariables = [

false, // retrieve className

true, // retrieve the config itself

"name",

"position",

// custom selector/manipulator:

{

[

(getNumber (_this >> "radiusA")),

(getNumber (_this >> "radiusB"))

]

},

"type",

"speech",

"neighbors",

"demography"

];

_cityCenterFilter = {

if ((getText (_this >> "type")) in ["CityCenter"]) exitWith

{

true

};

false

};

_entries = [

(configFile >> "CfgWorlds" >> worldName >> "Names"),

_cityCenterVariables,

_cityCenterFilter

] call RUBE_extractConfigEntries;

From a script I did for simulated nuclear exchange....

_TargetList =  [ nearestLocations [[0, 0, 0], ["NameCityCapital", "NameCity", "NameVillage", "NameLocal"], 30000]] call CBA_fnc_shuffle;

Just do something similar and then use diag_log to print the results to your arma.rpt file. Bingo, instant list.

[luckyhendrix 10]

Launching the folowing script :

_TargetList = [ nearestLocations [[0, 0, 0], ["NameCityCapital", "NameCity", "NameVillage", "NameLocal"], 100000]] call CBA_fnc_shuffle;

{

diag_log Format ["%1",_x];

}foreach _TargetList;

result in this list :

Launching the folowing script :

_TargetList = [ nearestLocations [[0, 0, 0], ["NameCityCapital", "NameCity", "NameVillage", "NameLocal"], 100000]] call CBA_fnc_shuffle;

result in this list : ....

:confused:

Yes, that's a list of locations. Look here for a list of commands you may apply to these to gain further information.

Or where does your confusion come from? And why do you apply CBA_fnc_shuffle to it? Has this anything to do with this topic at all?

[luckyhendrix 10]

what I look for is a list of location that I can use to configure the ALICE and SILVIE modules.(For instance : BIS_alice_mainscope setvariable ["TownList",[bis_loc_acityc_Staroye,bis_loc_acityc_Msta]]; that activates the ALICE module only in Staroye and Msta)

[rübe 118]

sorry but I don't really get how I should launch the script. Is all this the launch command ? :

Uhhhm, why don't you try it and see what _entries looks like after that?

what I look for is a list of location that I can use to configure the ALICE and SILVIE modules...

As said before, I'm pretty sure you'll find all you need in the config. Looking at the main.sqf of Alice, "CityCenter" (and the class-name of it) should be exactly what you need. You were even given a function with a working example to extract exactly that... is copy and paste too much work for you? :rolleyes:

[luckyhendrix 10]

I launched this script :

RUBE_extractConfigEntries = compile preprocessfile

"Fn_extractConfigEntries.sqf";

_entries = [

(configFile >> "CfgWorlds" >> worldName >> "Names"),

_cityCenterVariables,

_cityCenterFilter

] call RUBE_extractConfigEntries;

player sidechat format ["%1",_entries];

{

diag_log format ["%1",_x];

}foreach _entries;

_entries returns nothing

[rübe 118]

Thats because you didn't define _cityCenterVariables and _cityCenterFilter. The first defines what config values you're going to extract, the latter defines what config entries you're going to extract.

Try this:

RUBE_extractConfigEntries = compile preprocessfile
"Fn_extractConfigEntries.sqf";

_entries = [
  (configFile >> "CfgWorlds" >> worldName >> "Names"),
  // defines what values will be extracted/what will be returned
  [
     false, // retrieve className
     true, // retrieve the config itself
     "name",
     "position"
  ],
  // acts like a filter, here we're only interested in Names of type
  // CityCenter
  {
     if ((getText (_this >> "type")) in ["CityCenter"]) exitWith
     {
        true
     };
     false
  }
] call RUBE_extractConfigEntries;

player sidechat format ["%1",_entries];

{
diag_log format ["%1",_x];
}foreach _entries;
