Pull vehicle classname usingCfgVehicles

[saetheer 9]

Hi,

I'm trying to pull an array for all vehicles that uses the config: configfile >> "CfgVehicles" >> "Car"

But I have noe clue what to do with it.

For the Array I'm trying to fill with classname, this is displayed in a RscListBox, the knowledge of RscListBox should be irrelevant.

_car = [configfile >> "CfgVehicles" >> "Car"]; 
{lbAdd[1500,_x]} forEach _car;

Anyway, anyone care to help me out?

[dna_uk 30]

_cfgVehicles = ( configFile >> "CfgVehicles" );

for "_i" from 0 to ( count _cfgVehicles ) -1 do
{

_entry = _cfgVehicles select _i;

if( isClass _entry ) then
{

	_class = configName _entry;
	_scope = getNumber( _entry >> "scope" );

	if( _scope >= 2 && { _class isKindOf "Car" } ) then {

			lbAdd[ 1500, _class ];

	};

};

};

Thanks.

Is it possible to give it a more userfriendly name than C_offroad_01_F etc?

This:

lbAdd[ 1500, _class ];

To this:

lbAdd[ 1500, getText( _cfgVehicles >> _class >> "displayName" ];

Instead of _class try getText(_entry >> "displayName") You'll probably want to keep track of the _class somewhere though.

you would know how I could detect when the index of a combobox is changed?

[squeeze 22]

this way still works for me.

_old_selectedCombo = -1;
while{!SQU_CloseDisplay}do
{
_selectedCombo1 = lbCurSel SQU_IDC_Combo;

if(_selectedCombo != _old_selectedCombo)then
{

              //it's changed
	_old_selectedCombo = _selectedCombo;

       };   

sleep 1;
};

Thanks for reminding me. :) Added to the wiki!

Thanks. But I dont think I can use this, since I'm also using lbClear within that loop, which will be really annoying to see the items reappear/blinking really fast.

What I'm looking for is perhaps a eventhandler that is "always active" while the dialog is open, and only triggers when a new item is selected in the combobox.

edit: wait, I think that is what you presented. I'll have to test when I get home.

User Interface Event Handlers

You're looking for onLBSelChanged I believe.

Sorry I mistyped "change" should be "chance", anyway I have my own example to create an array of infantry groups and then spawn a random one...

TAG_WEST_GROUPS_INF = [];
_cfgGroups = ( configfile >> "CfgGroups" >> "West" >> "BLU_F" >> "Infantry");


for "_i" from 0 to ( count _cfgGroups ) -1 do
{
_entry = _cfgGroups select _i;

   if( isClass _entry ) then {
   TAG_WEST_GROUPS_INF = TAG_WEST_GROUPS_INF + [_entry];
   };

};


_grp = TAG_WEST_GROUPS_INF call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;


[getPos player, side player, _grp] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;

Really appreciate this. This created a list. Is there anyway to use something like this:

item_select = ( configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> lbCurSel 1500 );

to find the class for the selected item?

You could save the class name for each item:

// ...
_index = lbAdd [1500, getText(configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _class >> "displayName")];
lbSetData [1500, _index, _class];

Then in your lbSelChanged event handler:

_selected = ( configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> lbData [1500, lbCurSel 1500]);

// ...
_index = lbAdd [1500, getText(configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _class >> "displayName")];
lbSetData [1500, _index, _class];

_selected = ( configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> lbData [1500, lbCurSel 1500]);

^this didnt work.

Tried something else

When I select an item in the list, and press spawn button, it spawnes wrong vehicle.

_index = lbAdd [1500, getText(configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _class >> "displayName")];

lbSetData [1500, _index, _class];

SelectClass = _class;

and when button clicked:

SelectClass createVehicle (getmarkerpos "Spawn");

[Deadfast 43]

Instead of

SelectClass createVehicle (getmarkerpos "Spawn");

You want

lbData [1500, lbCurSel 1500] createVehicle (getmarkerpos "Spawn");

[saetheer 9]

Instead of

SelectClass createVehicle (getmarkerpos "Spawn");

You want

lbData [1500, lbCurSel 1500] createVehicle (getmarkerpos "Spawn");

Appreciate your time, but it aint it either. Return nothing by the looks of it

Should'nt this work flawless? On button pressed, this is the only thing in the script.

_vehicle = lbData [1500, lbCurSel 1500] 

_vehicle createVehicle (getmarkerpos "Spawn");

Noone else have a way to pull the selected item's classname into a string?
