CH View Distance Script

[fett_li 15]

Okay, Iceman77 a I think, I missused "call". I don't know in which enviroment they are executed, for instance I think you can use sleep, etc. But ArmA is definitely waiting for each postInit function to be terminated which is the point ;-)

postInit is ran in a non-scheduled environment.

postInit:

//--- Call postInit functions
	_fnc_scriptname = "postInit";
	{
		{
			_time = diag_ticktime;
			[_x,_didJIP] call {
				private ["_didJIP","_time"];
				["postInit",_this select 1] call (missionnamespace getvariable (_this select 0))
			};
			["%1 (%2 ms)",_x,(diag_ticktime - _time) * 1000] call bis_fnc_logFormat;
		} foreach _x;
	} foreach _this;

preInit:

//--- Call preInit functions
_fnc_scriptname = "preInit";
{
	{
		_time = diag_ticktime;
		[_x]call {
			private ["_recompile","_functions_list","_functions_listPreInit","_functions_listPostInit","_functions_listRecompile","_time"];
			["preInit"] call (missionnamespace getvariable (_this select 0))
		};
		["%1 (%2 ms)",_x,(diag_ticktime - _time) * 1000] call bis_fnc_logFormat;
	} foreach _x;
} foreach _functions_listPreInit;

postInit is called from a scheduled environment->non scheduled environment which can halt because its originally called from a scheduled->nonscheduled (which breaks the scheduled environment). This code is referenced from a3\functions_f\initFunctions.sqf

preInit is ran from a scheduled environment but if you halt in it you halt the overall client initialization process.

I not understand your answer, this is script version, not addon version.

He agreed with the previous poster that he would also like to see an addon version being made. I would like to have this as an addon as well, my PC is pretty weak now, so when I set low draw distance I suffer horribly when I try out aircraft and helicopters.

To the author:

Will you make it possible to type in the exact values we want to set our view distance to?

Yeah, yeah, that's what I was thinking.

But I don't know how to do it yet. Need to learn how to do it first. :D

With an editbox you should be able to grab the inputted text on button click for example.

action = "[ctrlText ((finddisplay YOUR_DIALOG_IDD) displayctrl IDC_EDITBOX)] call CHAMP_fnc_settingChange;";

CHAMP_fnc_settingChange

_value = call compile format ["%1;", _this select 0];

// -- Your stuff

Useful functions aswell:

BIS_fnc_filterString

BIS_fnc_splitString

Thanks.

What exactly 'action' does? When does it trigger?

[iceman77 18]

When you press and release a button or active text control for example.

eg;

class MY_BUTTON: RscButton
{
   text = "Confirm"; 
   x = 0.411029 * safezoneW + safezoneX;
   y = 0.598 * safezoneH + safezoneY;
   w = 0.176484 * safezoneW;
   h = 0.042 * safezoneH;
   action = "[ctrlText ((finddisplay YOUR_DIALOG_IDD) displayctrl IDC_EDITBOX)] call CHAMP_fnc_settingChange;"; 
   toolTip = "Validate the inputted text";
};

No output :c

	class CHVD_rscFootViewDistance: CHVD_rscEdit
	{
		idc = 1006;

		x = 27.5 * GUI_GRID_W + GUI_GRID_X;
		y = 3.5 * GUI_GRID_H + GUI_GRID_Y;
		w = 3 * GUI_GRID_W;
		h = 1 * GUI_GRID_H;
		onKeyDown = "[ctrlText ((finddisplay 2900) displayctrl 1006)] call CHVD_fnc_onEBinput;";
	};

systemChat str (_this select 0);

This works, though.

[iceman77 18]

Hmm. Seems to work fine for me using action. I use sideChat. I set up an extra (confirm) button on an existing project that already had a edit box.

DGM_fnc_buttonPressed

_value = call compile format ["%1;", _this select 0];
player sideChat format ["%1", _value];

class DGM_BUTTON_TESTER: RscButton
{
text = "Confirm"; //--- ToDo: Localize;
x = 0.811029 * safezoneW + safezoneX;
y = 0.598 * safezoneH + safezoneY;
w = 0.176484 * safezoneW;
h = 0.042 * safezoneH;
action = "[ctrlText ((finddisplay IDD_DGM_DIALOG) displayctrl IDC_DGM_EDITBOX_CREATEGROUP)] call DGM_fnc_buttonPressed;";
};

[champ-1 40]

It doesn't matter. It's the same thing, right?

Oh so you use button... I was jsut typing stuff. I don't think button is necessary.

[iceman77 18]

Yeah. Well I'm not gonna do something different and not mention it.. and have you potentially chasing your tail.

---------- Post added at 06:33 ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 ----------

Yeah. I said "button for example" long ago. You don't have to retrieve the edit box text via button action... I was only providing an visual example of how to retrieve the text from the edit box. Though is changing the VD and such as they type what you want :confused: I'll show myself the door :)

I guess I wasn't paying attention. Anyway, thanks for showing 'BIS_fnc_filterString', that would be handy.

There I fixed it. That wasn't that hard was it?

Ignore me I'm a fucking dick.

Hey, nice work.

A few errors I found:

-Every time I start a game / join our server I have to change a setting so the script takes effect.

-Since this update I get this script Error:

and there is no way to input view distance and terrain grid values directly into interactive textboxes.

Doesn't seems like the error even from my script and you using version 0.91. Try to remove CHVD folder completely and redownload it from first post.
