Extensiveness of Scripting in the Alpha

[Rydygier 1304]

Simple control of artillery fire improves my mood today. Forced "fire a weapon" too. Who knows, what else future holds... :)

Category:Arma 3: New Scripting Commands List

Yep, work in progress

I wonder what the humidity value is used for. :)

Mostly for particle effects.

I wonder if the language command returns the language of the game (like English, German, etc) or if it's used elsewhere (like language of an ingame unit for example). If it's the former it might come in handy when doing translations actually.

The language of the game.

Only thing I think that could effect is a soldiers endurance.

[maddogx 13]

@DarkDruid thx for the info. :)

Only thing I think that could effect is a soldiers endurance.

And particle effects, apparently. There seem to be a even more obscure weather-related commands coming in though. I can't imagine for the life of me what the rainbow command will be useful for. :confused:

Except perhaps:

if (rainbow >= 2) then {

OQSNhk5ICTI

};

[Rydygier 1304]

if (rainbow >= 2) then {hint "Look, how beautiful rainbow!";_happy = player getVariable "Happy";player setVariable ["Happy",_happy + rainbow]};

:)

[Alwarren 2766]

I suppose "uniformItems", "handgunItems", "primaryWeaponItems" and "secondaryWeaponItems" are for attachments. Would indicate that the uniform can have attachments too, probably boots, gloves, etc...

In any case, thanks BIS, this is starting out well...

[loyalguard 15]

Ah! Finally a command to get the stance of a unit: stance

[CriminalMinds 10]

-nvm-

[froggyluv 2130]

Wait, I never knew 'Wind' was in :butbut:

setWindStre and 'Gusts' ....when was all this confirmed? I'm so dumb :(

[CriminalMinds 10]

Even humidity is in! I am stunned! But what's up with scripting commands related to PhysX and RTT?

[zooloo75 833]

I hope they add in a ragdoll command. something like -- player doRagdoll true; or player doRagdoll false;

This would make the unit ragdoll right away - could simulate a strong gust of wind if used with setvelocity.

It would also be funny - have a unit run down some stairs and trip! xD

[CriminalMinds 10]

Yup, maybe a command to activate the ragdoll-effects, when the player gets unconscious. And where's the command to change the gravity settings? I don't want 9.81 m/s^2 all the time. :)

This nicely put-together list by Druid is by no means the final list of Arma 3 scripting commands. There will still be new commands as we develop parts of the game and require them throughout Alpha and Beta. Hopefully we'd even find some time for commands requested by the community. There may also be commands that need to be cleaned out (features that did not make it in), or that pose too much of a risk to MP. We'll announce these changes so you can react to them and update scripts.

[killjoe_R3F 60]

that' s good news. All the work done is not lost.

I note setfatigue witch indicate an a script of fatigue as we, in the community, develop on ArmA 2.

[Horner 13]

Is wind server-side in ArmA 3? Would be awesome to finally be able to have a realistic sniper/spotter scenario :D

tryed to look after this?:

[h=1]-setPiPEffect

-isPipEnabled

-disableCollisionWith

-enableCollisionWith[/h]

[September 1]

I'm hoping it's easy...for the sake of Horner rofl.

[Horner 13]

I wonder if trailers will be implemented in ArmA 3 (devbait).

[maddogx 13]

-enableCollisionWith[/h]

PiP is unrelated to PhysX. Collisions probably will be though, so it's a start. :D

I still want to be able to add arbitrary "areas of force" (directional or radial), so that you can push things around, simulate shock waves etc.

That's great news! I'd like to see more PhysX related commands :)
