I could really do with some help on this please guys, is there anyone that can help me, I have torn my hair out trying to merge this to get it to work lol INS calls the #include "INS_revive\rsctitles.hpp" and it conflicts with the stc_include.hpp file which calls it also :(

Zlin · July 12, 2013

I am having problems using this with the INS Revive script as it already defines the rsc titles... any idea how to fix that please.

Having the same issue. The rsctitles need to be merged into one call I think but I'm not sure how to do that. Also, as of 07-31-13, the script is not rearming. It shows the turret ammo type but never actually reloads the ammo.

daskunk · October 2, 2012

Hi Zin i could not get any help here either but i figured out a way to get it to work.

take this code out of your stc_include file

class RscTitles
{
   titles[]={};
   class UC_ShowText_small
   {
       idd=-1;
       movingEnable=0;
       duration=10e30;
       fadein = 0;
       name="UC_ShowText1";
       onLoad = "uiNamespace setVariable ['d_UC_ShowText_small', _this select 0]";
       controls[]={"textUC_Show1"};
       class textUC_Show1 : UC_Display_small
       {
           idc = 301;
       };
   };
   class UC_HideText_small
   {
       idd=-1;
       movingEnable=0;
       duration=10e30;
       fadein = 0;
       name="UC_HideText1";
       onLoad = "uiNamespace setVariable ['d_UC_HideText_small', _this select 0]";
       controls[]={"textUC_Hide1"};
       class textUC_Hide1 : UC_HideDisplay_Small
       {
           idc = 301;
       };
   };
};

and put it into your description.ext file like this this has the ins stuff in also just compare yours to this.

#include "gvs\colors_include.hpp"
#include "gvs\control_include.hpp"
#include "gvs\stc_include.hpp"

colorText[] = {1, 1, 1, 1};
font = "PuristaMedium"; //Typeface
sizeEx = 0;
};

class RscTitles
{
#include "INS_revive\rsctitles.hpp"
   titles[]={};
   class UC_ShowText_small
   {
       idd=-1;
       movingEnable=0;
       duration=10e30;
       fadein = 0;
       name="UC_ShowText1";
       onLoad = "uiNamespace setVariable ['d_UC_ShowText_small', _this select 0]";
       controls[]={"textUC_Show1"};
       class textUC_Show1 : UC_Display_small
       {
           idc = 301;
       };
   };
   class UC_HideText_small
   {
       idd=-1;
       movingEnable=0;
       duration=10e30;
       fadein = 0;
       name="UC_HideText1";
       onLoad = "uiNamespace setVariable ['d_UC_HideText_small', _this select 0]";
       controls[]={"textUC_Hide1"};
       class textUC_Hide1 : UC_HideDisplay_Small
       {
           idc = 301;
       };
   };
};

Hope this helps ;)

Oh and just in case you want to use BTC Logistics with it as well add this under

	#include "INS_revive\rsctitles.hpp"

	#include "=BTC=_Logistic\=BTC=_Lift\=BTC=_Hud.h"

@DaSkunk; Thank you very much for your assistance. I tried your edited version of the scripts and I am not getting any more conflicts with the RSC titles issues! Thanks again.

Hey, I have another question for you now though regarding this script.. if you put a HUNTER down on the map that does not have a turret, and drive that HUNTER into the repair bay, you get a script error regarding the turret not being present. Do you think you can fix that too??? lol I really wish the author of this script would have continued to develop it. I really like the way this script works as far as how it provides more info on what the percentage of damage is, fuel needed, magazines needed, etc.

Thanks again for your help, it's greatly appreciated.

daskunk · October 2, 2012

I am also having the same issues m8 and also the ammo reload is now bugged and I am not sure how to fix it.... It needs someone better at coding than me to fix it . :(

I love this script it's a real shame It hasn't been updated. I tried a pm to the guy that made it but he has not responded.

Zlin · July 12, 2013

What I have experienced on the ammo reloading is that if you run the ammo completely out, zero rounds, then the ammo will not reload. But, if you leave at least one round in gun then the ammo WILL reload. I did some searching and have seen similar issues all the way back to arma (1).

Thanks again for your help.

The rscTitles issue is actually a cutRsc problem and an RscTitles display declaration integration problem. I'm altering the scripting to utilize layers, which I should have done in the first place. To fix RscTitles integration, you will have to modify all scripts using RscTitles to get the display declarations integrated.

Edited October 14, 2013 by Guest
updated with latest version

jacmac · November 15, 2011

I fail at createTrigger, I now realize they must be created locally. I'll update the download to E.

If you already downloaded version D, replace the gvs_triggers.sqf with this code:

/*=================================================================================================================
 GVS Triggers by Jacmac

 Version History:
 A - Initial Release 10/13/2013
 B - Removed isServer checks on trigger creation 10/13/2013

 Requirements:
 Called once from gvs_init.sqf on startup.

 Features:
 -Generates GVS Triggers for Ground Vehicles, Helecopters, and Planes
 -Generates Event handlers for display of the trigger locations when a player is within a vehicle

 Notes:
 Trigger location display is:
 Null on foot
 500 meters in Ground Vehicles
 1K in Helecopters
 2K in Planes

 The trigger variables can be adjusted, but keep in mind that sounds are fixed in duration, so adjusting a
 a setting like _veh_per_fuel_time to some value other than 2 seconds will throw off the sound loop. Sounds
 for ammo or repair ar not so much affected but times that are too low, may cause sounds to play on top of
 each other.

Hello guys,

Sorry for the English, but I am using a translator

I'm using on a small mission, the Service Vehicle generic, along with the script = BTC = _Logistic but every time I load the Arma 3 displays an error stating that the RscTitles class has been defined by the user.

Anyone experiencing the same problem?

jacmac · November 15, 2011

From the documentation:

Display Information:
GVS uses RscTitles for the information display. It is very possible that missions you try to integrate GVS into will also
use RscTitles. By default layer 301 is used for GVS, you can change it if you happen to be using 301 already, numbers in 
the tens of thousands have been tested successfully. 

If you integrate GVS into a mission that is already utilizing RscTitles, for example "Domination", you will have to integrate
the display class definitions. For example, in the Domination description.ext consider the following code:

class RscTitles {
#include "x_dlg\RscTitles.hpp"
#include "gvs\stc_include_alt.hpp" //Alternative display class definitions
};

I don't know what BTC revive developers did, but the way Domination has declared RscTitles is the way to go. I included an alternative form of the display definitions specifically because different scripts using RscTitles can and will interfere with each other. If somebody wants to propose an informal standard for declarations, I'm all for it. I think the Domination method is a good way to do it

Jacmac Thanks for the reply, but

I had seen this procedure and error really is no longer shown. Now when you enter the game and load the mission, the hud to use the lift of the helicopter does not appear, why is this function that uses RscTitles.

I am in search to find the solution. Thanks for all the help.

The HUD you are referring to must be using a display definition in RscTitles. GVS uses RscTitles and apparently so does BTC Revive. To integrate all of these, there are a couple of things to do and check.

First make sure there is exactly one definition for RscTitles, and this means checking all hpp files included in description.ext. The method I put in the documentation from Domination is the best way I have seen so far to integrate multiple scripts that use RscTitles. It does mean that you need to possibly alter hpp files or the way the display controls have been defined. The main point is that there can be only one "class RscTitles". There can be virtually unlimited display controls defined as long as the names are unique, but only one RscTitles.

Second, use of cutRsc without a layer number should be banned. Unfortunately, many scripts don't use a layer number because the script creators don't understand the arcane science of RscTitles. I didn't understand them for a long time until I picked apart a mission that had complex usage integrated into it. There is also the possibility of two different scripts using the same layer number(s). You have to search the script code for cutRsc and make sure the number (if any) preceding cutRsc (the layer number) does not conflict with someone else's script or your own script (if you are also using RscTitles). If you find cutRsc with no layer number in two different scripts you are integrating into your mission, there is a good chance they will interfere with each other, meaning that while one is displaying, the other will disappear. Each layer can have one display control displaying at a time and this includes a blanking control! A true one time display, such as an opening title can perhaps be forgiven, but a persistent display on the default layer of cutRsc should be a considered a sin. If I could get a biki account, I would udpate the documentation to be more clear about all of this.

GhostSniper · July 27, 2009

Jacmac, thank you once again

Solved the problem, that after his tip was a little easier to solve. I am newbie in creating mission, so I had a bit of trouble to solve, but based on the first post of this forum the problem was solved.

I apologize for my lack of attention, since the solution of the problem was in my face.

Greetings.

does not work with UAV

jacmac · November 15, 2011

It doesn't work with UAVs because the player isn't in the UAV to trigger it. I'll have to create a separate trigger for these. What color should I use, purple?

Yes, it would be nice.

jacmac · November 15, 2011

UAV support added in version F and the test mission has been updated. The UAV Service sign will show up when the player is the driver of the UAV, but not the gunner.
