BIS_Effects_EH_Fired

eggbeast · August 31, 2009

does anyone know what this eventhandler actually does?

where can i find the source code?

I noticed it has been to various planes over time

we've just added it to our A10 and it seems to be the cause of a horrific permanent explosion effect on a persistent MP server

it's been attached to the A10 wreck for days and the only thing I can think of that caused it was the addition of the EH.

it causes problems like this for the tower sniper lol

	class EventHandlers
	{
		killed = "_this call BIS_Effects_EH_Killed;";
	};

we attached it to a variety of planes, thinking it may help say with cleanup of carcasses/groups or something else, but not really sure... anyone have a clue? no searching results for it on google or in here

cheers

Seems to be very similar, the sky on fire anyway, to this bug:

Bug #2341 The Sky is on Fire

Maybe that bug, is related to BIS_Effects_EH_Fired

eggbeast · August 31, 2009

yep that's it - spawning in the planes with the recently added EH on them and then blowing them up causes the fire in the sky bug - i think i finally discovered a repro mission for the bug!! damn!

FIXED

dwarden gave me a script to fix this which will be in every evolution mission henceforth

we have out it onto our servers and not seen the bug since

thanks D!

Any chance you could share that script please?

eggbeast · August 31, 2009

sure it's in here in various missions see init and look for dwarden

Thank you much!!

cant seem to unpack those missions.

eggbeast · August 31, 2009

try the ones in the uns_test_missions rar

uns_test_missions.rar\@ambient_test10.us101_Cao_Bang

look in the init and also in the folder \new_effects

try the ones in the uns_test_missions rar

That's exactly what I needed, thank you!!

Because I believe in posting back what you find out in the threads, so people 2 years down the line can find it and not be screwed ;)

Haha, it's all good guys, thanks for that too Beazley

I have implemented these scripts on my server, but the fire bug persists still when people crash the aircraft. Any Ideas?

eggbeast · August 31, 2009

maybe try a different tool to open my missions - it's all working in there

I have already unpacked you mission and added the new_effect folder to my mission and added the relevant lines of the init script into my init script but the problem persists. There must be something I have missed, although I dont think so. Here is my entire init.sqf, please have a look if you will and tell me if all is correct please.

if !isDedicated then { startLoadingScreen ["Loading...","RscLoadScreenCustom"]; };
enableSaving [false, false]; 
waitUntil { isServer || !isNull player }; 
waitUntil { !isNil "BIS_MPF_InitDone" }; 
waitUntil { BIS_MPF_InitDone };

// Global Variable Init
curTime				= time;    //mission start time
serverLoadHint      = false;   //server load hint message

/// place player UIDs here to enable extra toys for specific players. Toys are Apache, UH1Y, MH60M, and MV22
/// updated June 6, 2013. 
masterUIDArray = [
"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
];
masterClassArray = ["AH64D_EP1","UH60M_MEV_EP1"];


if (local player) then { call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "initclient.sqf"; }; 
if (isServer) then { call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "initserver.sqf"; }; 

/////////////////Dwarden fixing fire in the sky bug

BIS_Effects_EH_Killed=compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "new_effects\killed.sqf";
BIS_Effects_AirDestruction=compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "new_effects\AirDestruction.sqf";
BIS_Effects_AirDestructionStage2=compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "new_effects\AirDestructionStage2.sqf";

BIS_Effects_globalEvent = 
{
BIS_effects_gepv = _this;
publicVariable "BIS_effects_gepv";
    _this call BIS_Effects_startEvent;
};

BIS_Effects_startEvent = 
{
switch (_this select 0) do 
{
    		case "AirDestruction": 
	{
          	[_this select 1] spawn BIS_Effects_AirDestruction;
	};
          case "AirDestructionStage2": 
	{
          	[_this select 1, _this select 2, _this select 3] spawn BIS_Effects_AirDestructionStage2;
	};
          case "Burn": 
	{
          	[_this select 1, _this select 2, _this select 3, false, true] spawn BIS_Effects_Burn;
	};
};
};
"BIS_effects_gepv" addPublicVariableEventHandler {(_this select 1) call BIS_Effects_startEvent;};

You will noticed that in the MasterUID part of the script I have hidden player steam ID's with XXXXXXXXXXXX becuase they don't want me to show them in the post.

eggbeast · August 31, 2009

hmmm well youre separating out client and server init, maybe this means the script doesnt run properly? it works on mine - thats all i know sorry

ringoray · February 14, 2012

Hey no worries dude you have been more than helpful already!

ringoray · February 14, 2012

Has anyone any ideas why this hasn't worked, I have tried and tried everything but nothing seems to work, very frustrating lol.

eggbeast · August 31, 2009

maybe put it to the top of your init script

ringoray · February 14, 2012

will try that for sure

---------- Post added at 15:54 ---------- Previous post was at 15:47 ----------

maybe put it to the top of your init script

I wonder could I put the fire bug script into a separate file and execute it via the init.sqf

eggbeast · August 31, 2009

nah in my mission there is some script / definitions that MUST be in your init, run on server and client

then the separate scripts that are called from that

ringoray · February 14, 2012

well I put it at the top of my init and it seemed to work for a long time, then it returned, beginning to give up now lol

eggbeast · August 31, 2009

it's probably to do with you splitting up the inits for client and server. maybe run it on both? not sure. I want to d othat split in my missions too soon, so if i crack the problem i'll post here.

atm it works fine in all my missions (about 30 of them) that use it. but they all have a standard init structure
