Class Parameter help needed

[JacobJ 10]

Hello all

In my init.sqf I have this:

//Til tiden
skiptime (((paramsarray select 0) - daytime + 24) % 24);

//Til vejret
switch (paramsarray select 1) do {
 case 1: { 0 setOvercast 0; 0 setRain 0; 0 setFog 0 };
 case 2: { 0 setOvercast 1; 0 setRain 1; 0 setFog 0.2 };
 case 3: { 0 setOvercast 0.7; 0 setRain 0; 0 setFog 0 };
 case 4: { 0 setOvercast 0.7; 0 setRain 1; 0 setFog 0.7 };
};

//Til Pre time
switch (paramsarray select 2) do {
 case 1: { gatedown setTriggerTimeout [1, 1, 1, true] };
 case 2: { gatedown setTriggerTimeout [1200, 1200, 1200, true] };
 case 3: { gatedown setTriggerTimeout [1800, 1800, 1800, true] };
 case 4: { gatedown setTriggerTimeout [2400, 2400, 2400, true] };
};

//Til timelimit
switch (paramsarray select 3) do {
 case 1: { cntdown setTriggerTimeout [99999, 99999, 99999, true] };
 case 2: { cntdown setTriggerTimeout [1200, 1200, 1200, true] };
 case 3: { cntdown setTriggerTimeout [1800, 1800, 1800, true] };
 case 4: { cntdown setTriggerTimeout [2400, 2400, 2400, true] };
};

//Til Pointsystem
switch (paramsarray select 4) do {
 case 1: { [] execVM "point.sqs"};
 case 2: {};
};

And in my description.ext I have this:

class Params {

class TimeOfDay {
	title = "Time of day:";
	values[] = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23};
	default = 12; 
	texts[] = {"00:00","01:00","02:00","03:00","04:00","05:00","06:00","07:00","08:00","09:00","10:00","11:00","12:00","13:00","14:00","15:00","16:00","17:00","18:00","19:00","20:00","21:00","22:00","23:00"};
	};

class Weather 	{

	title = "Weather";
	values[] = {1,2,3,4};
	default = 1;
	texts[] = {"Clear", "Stormy", "Cloudy", "Foggy"};
	};

class prepar	{

	title = "Preparation time";
	values[] = {1,2,3,4};
	default = 2;
	texts[] = {"none", "20min", "30min", "40min"};
	};

class cntdown	{

	title = "Time limit after gamestart";
	values[] = {1,2,3,4};
	default = 1;
	texts[] = {"none", "30min", "45min", "60min"};
	};

class pntsystem	{

	title = "Point-system";
	values[] = {1,2};
	default = 2;
	texts[] = {"On", "Off"};
	};

};

As you can see I have both a preparation time and a timelimit on the map.

How can I subtract the preparation time with the timelimit, so I get the correct timelimit after the game has started?

Put the seconds straight into the desc.ext. That way you don't need switch-case, because the variable returned will have the correct time. After that it's a simple subtraction.

[JacobJ 10]

Okay, I may sound newbiezz but could you explain it a bit more or give me an example?

[shuko 45]

class prepar {
 title = "Preparation time";
 values[] = {0,1200,1800,2400};
 default = 1200;
 texts[] = {"none", "20min", "30min", "40min"};
};

_prepTime = paramsarray select 2;
gatedown setTriggerTimeout [_prepTime, _prepTime, _prepTime, true];

[JacobJ 10]

Okay now I have another problem with this. I can get it all to work as it should, but I have another script I would like to override the time limit, but that I cant do somehow.

Here is the script I would like to override the cntdown triggers timeout.

Startgame.sqf:

if (alive gate) then {

	gate setPos [(getPos gate select 0),(getPos gate select 1),-10];

	deleteMarker "respawn_west";
	deleteMarker "respawn_east";

	warlord globalChat "MISSION BEGINS!";

	stang removeAction flash;

	deleteVehicle gatedown;

	cnttime = paramsarray select 3;
	cntdown setTriggerTimeout [cnttime, cnttime, cnttime, true];

};

Here is what I have in the init.sqf:

//Til Pre time
_prepTime = paramsarray select 2;
gatedown setTriggerTimeout [_prepTime, _prepTime, _prepTime, true];


//Til timelimit
cnttime = paramsarray select 3;
cntdown setTriggerTimeout [(_prepTime + cnttime), (_prepTime + cnttime), (_prepTime + cnttime), true];

It just won't let me override that time it gives in the ( )'s.

What could be wrong?

I also have the problem, that my ammocrates give some weird numbers back after ive put them through this code:

In init.sqf:

//Til våben
switch (paramsarray select 5) do {
 case 1: {ammoinbox1 = [mhq1_ammobox,"all","all",FALSE,15,50,15] execVM "crateFiller.sqf"; ammoinbox2 = [mhq1_ammobox1,"all","all",FALSE,15,50,15] execVM "crateFiller.sqf"};
 case 2: {ammoinbox1 = [mhq1_ammobox,"all","all",FALSE,5,12,10] execVM "crateFiller.sqf"; ammoinbox2 = [mhq1_ammobox1,"all","all",FALSE,5,12,10] execVM "crateFiller.sqf"};
 case 3: {ammoinbox1 = [mhq1_ammobox,"all","all",FALSE,1,12,5] execVM "crateFiller.sqf"; ammoinbox2 = [mhq1_ammobox1,"all","all",FALSE,1,12,5] execVM "crateFiller.sqf"};
 case 4: {ammoinbox1 = [mhq1_ammobox,"all","all",true,99,99,99] execVM "crateFiller.sqf"; ammoinbox2 = [mhq1_ammobox1,"all","all",true,99,99,99] execVM "crateFiller.sqf"};
};

In description.ext:

class weapons 	{

	title = "Number of Weapons/magazines/equiptment";
	values[] = {1,2,3,4};
	default = 1;
	texts[] = {"15/50/15", "5/12/10", "1/12/5", "99/99/99"};
	};

It differs if I get the right number of weapons in the crate or if my testing parter gets the right number. If it doesnt give the right number it gives the defaultnumber 15/50/15 added with the number that isnt default.

So if I choose 1/12/5 I get 16/62/20. Where could the problem be?

[shuko 45]

If it doesn't work with setTriggerTimeout, then just use global variables to save the right time in and in the trigger's condition do: this && time > YourTimeVar

[JacobJ 10]

Do you have any idea, what the last issue could be caused by?

[shuko 45]

What if you make only the server run it and put global versions of the command (addWeaponCargoGlobal etc) into the cratefiller?

[JacobJ 10]

Okay I think ive got it solved, but I am waiting for my testing partner to come online to check it out with me. Ill report back if it works. Thank you so far.
