Loop .sqf

[Online 1]

Hi Guys,

i searched a loop function, but i am not sure what i need.

I have a script to remove the nvgoggles, but after the respawn everyone has again the goggles.

My .sqf

{

{

if (side _x == east) then {

_x unassignItem "NVGoggles";

_x removeItem "NVGoggles";

};

} foreach allunits;

{

if (side _y == west) then {

_y unassignItem "NVGoggles";

_yremoveItem "NVGoggles";

};

} foreach allunits;

};

I have also a virtual ammobox on my map and the people should take the normal gear, but only without the nvgoggles. The script works fine and it should only repeat every 5 or 10 seconds maybe.

Regards

_x is special variable, it is not a Cartesian coordinate so using _y in second loop do nothing.

[mikie boy 18]

that should do it, since you are removing it from boths sides

 {
_x unassignItem "NVGoggles";
_x removeItem "NVGoggles";
} foreach allunits;

Just use <objectname> setVehicleInit "<delete NVGs>"

i had _x for both before, and this works for both sides.

I know i have no loop included at the moment. I know that loop do nothing, because i ask how to loop this function.

Simple loop script

while {true} do {Your script here ; Sleep 5;};

Thanks Mikie boy, i will change it.

I will try thy loop script.

And if i use this, how fast will work this loop? Instant if a player try to get the goggles?

[bangabob 45]

Every 5 seconds. Thus the sleep command at the end of each loop

Now i have this:

while {true} do

{

_x unassignItem "NVGoggles";

_x removeItem "NVGoggles";

} foreach allunits;

Sleep 5;};

But the script doesnt work now.

[bangabob 45]

try putting this at the top of the script

private [_x];

while {true} do

{

private [_x];

_x unassignItem "NVGoggles";

_x removeItem "NVGoggles";

} foreach allunits;

Sleep 5;};

Now change

[bangabob 45]

while {true} do {
{
{
if (side _x == east) then {
_x unassignItem "NVGoggles";
_x removeItem "NVGoggles";
};

} foreach allunits;
{
if (side _y == west) then {
_y unassignItem "NVGoggles";
_yremoveItem "NVGoggles";
};

} foreach allunits;
};
Sleep 5;};

Try that.

What the hell.. now the script doesnt work, i mean without the loop.

I use the same script like in the beginning and now it doenst work, how can that happend?

Perfect!! Now it works fine. :D

I used this:

while {true} do {

{

if (side _x == east) then {

_x unassignItem "NVGoggles";

_x removeItem "NVGoggles";

};

} foreach allunits;

{

if (side _x == west) then {

_x unassignItem "NVGoggles";

_x removeItem "NVGoggles";

};

} foreach allunits;

Sleep 5;};

Really big thanks BangaBob!

try putting this at the top of the script

private [_x];

it is private ["_x"]; (quotation mark) and you also dont need it since _x is special variable it is private by default within the scope.

Sorry didnt see the bit that you required a loop, in any case I don't seethe relevance of differentiating between side if you are taking the NV goggles from everyone. Would assume its pointless waste of cpu wizardry :)

while {true} do
{
 {

  _x unassignItem "NVGoggles";
  _x removeItem "NVGoggles";

 } foreach allunits;


Sleep 5;

};

If you dont need a loop to remove the goggles and only for respawn you could always just plop this into the init.sqf;

RemoveGoggles= compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers "RemoveGoggles.sqf");
player addEventHandler ["Killed",{[_this select 0] spawn RemoveGoggles; }];

RemoveGoggles.sqf

Waitunily {!isnull Player};
_respawnedDude = _this select 0;

_respawnedDude unassignItem "NVGoggles"; 
_respawnedDude removeItem "NVGoggles";

not tested but just a thought :)

It works fine now and i dont want to edit.

"Dont change a running system" ;)

Btw. i need the loop, because i have a virtual ammobox and the people should use every weapon and saved kits but only without the nv. Its a night mission and a lot more action if the people only use the lamp at the weapon.

[bangabob 45]

BTW you can easily remove the NVgoggles from VAS.

Search for the missionfolder/gear/config.sqf

Iniside the config file just add "NVGoggles" to the bottom string

//Items to remove from VAS

vas_r_items = [];

So it looks like

//Items to remove from VAS

vas_r_items = ["NVGoggles"];

[mikie boy 18]

Lol. Nice one. Online suggest u use that method instead of having an unnecessary loop.

[Online 1]

I think i use at first my method and if i will have cpu or other problems, i will try the other one.

Or i try this later, but for now it works. :)

But the tip with the VAS is really helpful.

Thanks to everyone!!!
