Woodstock21 10 Posted March 6, 2015 So im trying to move a existing insurgency mission over to Bystrica using both ALiVE and CSE with it, for the most part it seems to work, except for the main part of the random spawn of the cache, Now im not a scripter at all, as you see from some of my previous posts but i kinda know a little bit just enough to get myself in trouble, and im thinking that it has something to do with the lack of city names on the map. When i go to preview the mission in the editor there is always error message about Bis_fnc_position not finding anything from what i can tell. Below i will put the script in that spawns the cache and a piece of the RPT Please note that this same scripts works fine on Takistan, Cherno, and United Sharni, my buddy really likes Bystrica so thought i'd move it over for him and ran into this issue. Cache spawn script if (isServer || isDedicated) then { private ["_markers","_x","_randomMarker","_dist","_pos","_m","_decrease","_wait","_cacheBuildings","_targetBuilding","_cachePosition"]; INS_marker_array = []; publicVariable "INS_marker_array"; INS_west_score = 0; publicVariable "INS_west_score"; INS_fncache = { if (typeName _this == "ARRAY") then { cache = _this select 0; cache spawn {sleep 60; deleteVehicle _this}; _killer = _this select 1; // check who killed the box switch (side _killer) do { case WEST: { INS_west_score = INS_west_score + 1; publicVariable "INS_west_score"; _this call cacheKilled; }; case EAST: { INS_west_score = INS_west_score + 1; publicVariable "INS_west_score"; _this call cacheKilled; }; case RESISTANCE: { INS_west_score = INS_west_score + 1; publicVariable "INS_west_score"; _this call cacheKilled; }; default { _this call cacheFake; }; }; }; if (count INS_marker_array > 0) then { {deleteMarker _x} forEach INS_marker_array}; publicVariable "INS_marker_array"; _cities = call SL_fnc_urbanAreas; //_cacheTown = _cities call BIS_fnc_selectRandom; _cacheBuildings = _cacheTown call SO_fnc_findHouse; // Pull the array and select a random building from it. _targetBuilding = _cacheBuildings select (random((count _cacheBuildings)-1)); // Take the random building from the above result and pass it through gRBP function to get a single cache position _cachePosition = [_targetBuilding] call getRandomBuildingPosition; // Create the cache at the random marker position cache = createVehicle ["Box_East_WpsSpecial_F", _cachePosition, [], 0, "None"]; clearMagazineCargoGlobal cache; clearWeaponCargoGlobal cache; // Add event handlers to the cache cache addEventHandler ["handleDamage", { if ((_this select 4) == "SatchelCharge_Remote_Mag") then { cache setDamage 1 } else { if ((_this select 4) == "DemoCharge_Remote_Mag") then { cache setDamage 1 } else { cache setDamage 0 }; }; }]; cache addMPEventHandler ["MPKilled", {_this spawn INS_fncache}]; // Move the Cache to the above select position cache setPos _cachePosition; publicVariable "cache"; if (INS_west_score == (paramsArray select 1)) then { end_title = {titleText["All ammo caches have been destroyed!", "PLAIN"];}; [nil, "end_title", nil, true] spawn BIS_fnc_MP; sleep 20; endMission "END1"; }; if (!isMultiplayer) then { //debug to see where box spawned is if not multiplayer _m = createMarker [format ["box%1",random 1000],getposATL cache]; _m setMarkerShape "ICON"; _m setMarkerType "mil_dot"; _m setMarkerColor "ColorRed"; }; }; true spawn INS_fncache; }; RPT 17:33:19 Error in expression < _this select 0; _count = 0; while {str(_building buildingPos _count) != "[0,0,0> 17:33:19 Error position: <_building buildingPos _count) != "[0,0,0> 17:33:19 Error Undefined variable in expression: _building 17:33:19 File C:\Users\Documents\Arma 3\missions\Insurg_CSE_ALiVE1.Woodland_ACR\core\modules\cacheScript\functions\cacheGetPositions.sqf, line 62 17:33:19 Error in expression <(_count == 0) then { _position = getPos _building; } else { _position = random _> 17:33:19 Error position: <_building; } else { _position = random _> 17:33:19 Error Undefined variable in expression: _building 17:33:19 File C:\Users\Documents\Arma 3\missions\Insurg_CSE_ALiVE1.Woodland_ACR\core\modules\cacheScript\functions\cacheGetPositions.sqf, line 80 17:33:19 Error in expression < _building = _this select 0; _count = [_building] call getCountBuildingPosition> 17:33:19 Error position: <_building] call getCountBuildingPosition> 17:33:19 Error Undefined variable in expression: _building 17:33:19 File C:\Users\Documents\Arma 3\missions\Insurg_CSE_ALiVE1.Woodland_ACR\core\modules\cacheScript\functions\cacheGetPositions.sqf, line 77 17:33:19 Error in expression <l SL_fnc_urbanAreas; _cacheBuildings = _cacheTown call SO_fnc_findHouse; _tar> 17:33:19 Error position: <_cacheTown call SO_fnc_findHouse; _tar> 17:33:19 Error Undefined variable in expression: _cachetown 17:33:19 File C:\Users\Documents\Arma 3\missionsInsurg_CSE_ALiVE1.Woodland_ACR\core\modules\cacheScript\cache.sqf, line 70 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jshock 512 Posted March 6, 2015 You have the line that defines "_cacheTown" commented out, which leaves the following variables undefined, possibly causing the "_building" variable to be undefined in the script/function that is an error in your RPT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jshock 512 Posted March 6, 2015 Ok it looks like your "_building" parameter in the "cacheGetPositions.sqf" is not being passed in the way you want to, same with "_cacheTown" and the rest, it's probably a chain effect, since "_building" is undefined the rest of these variables are undefined, so could you provide the cacheGetPositions.sqf and where/how your calling it.

jshock 512 Posted March 7, 2015 Yea so it seems that the building being passed in isn't defined or is null, so I would check all the variables before that point to ensure that a building is actually being passed to the function, if not, then it's probably one of the other functions having an issue returning the data it's supposed to.

Woodstock21 10 Posted March 7, 2015 Ahhh um sure, honestly you kinda lost me, and i have no idea where to or well how to even start that, Just doesnt make sense to me that it doesn't work cause its just a reorganized cherno map and it works fine on the full cherno.

jshock 512 Posted March 7, 2015 Ok, so one of the following call lines is not returning what it's supposed to: _cities = call SL_fnc_urbanAreas; _cacheTown = _cities call BIS_fnc_selectRandom; _cacheBuildings = _cacheTown call SO_fnc_findHouse; _targetBuilding = _cacheBuildings select (random((count _cacheBuildings)-1)); So you need to debug it, see what's returning what, if it's returning anything at all, best way to do that is to hint the values coming out, so you can see it as it happens, so below each of these lines (one-by-one) do something like this to see what each variable contains after the function call: hint str(_cities); And if the hint doesn't have what you would expect in it, or it is empty, then the function that precedes the hint is the one more than likely causing the issue.
