twakkie 57 Posted May 10, 2015 Hi Guys I am a novice mission maker but have become quite competent using the editor. I now have started scripting but I am stuck with the Sector Module. I love using this module, and for the most part it is easy to use through the editor, but for the life of me I cannot find anything about how to place this module through using a script. Could someone please help or direct me in the correct direction, thanks. C Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jshock 513 Posted May 10, 2015 That's a bit complicated I believe, because you will need to create a logic vehicle, then attach all the necessary variables associated with the module, then alter/set those variables to your liking, a bit more trouble than it's worth IMO.

twakkie 57 Posted May 12, 2015 That's a bit complicated I believe, because you will need to create a logic vehicle, then attach all the necessary variables associated with the module, then alter/set those variables to your liking, a bit more trouble than it's worth IMO. Thanks for the answer Shock. I didnt think it would be easy. The reason I want to add this is I want to create a gamemode where you can create as many Sectors as you want. Would you maybe humor me for a bit. Below I added BIS_fnc_moduleSector, which just gave me a headache. How would I go about now attaching the variables to the logic vehicle (also would "_unit createUnit ["LOGIC", [0, 0, 0], [], 0, "NONE"];" be the right way to create this logic). Any help would be appreciated. /* Author: Karel Moricky Description: Initialize a sector module.

bull_a 44 Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) I use the same way as you would place it down in the editor (but just with the commands). - Place the module - in this case, we just create a game logic - Place the game logics for the module - exactly the same as in the edito - Place the trigger for the "Area" game logic - Synchronize the objects to one another - Set the module parameters - exactly the same as in the editor. - Call the module function and pass the created game logic as a parameter - this is the step that is completed when the mission is loaded // Gets position _pos = [_this,0,[],[[],objNull,""],3] call BIS_fnc_param; // Can be passed array, object or marker _pos = _pos call BIS_fnc_position; _logic = (createGroup sideLogic) createUnit ["Logic",_pos,[],0,"NONE"]; // Creates area & side logics and trigger _areaLogic = (createGroup sideLogic) createUnit ["LocationArea_F",_pos,[],0,"NONE"]; _sideBLUFORLogic = (createGroup sideLogic) createUnit ["SideBLUFOR_F",_pos,[],0,"NONE"]; _sideOPFORLogic = (createGroup sideLogic) createUnit ["SideOPFOR_F",_pos,[],0,"NONE"]; _sideINDFORLogic = (createGroup sideLogic) createUnit ["SideResistance_F",_pos,[],0,"NONE"]; _trigger = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector",_pos]; _trigger setTriggerArea [500,500,false]; // Synchronizes the objects _areaLogic synchronizeObjectsAdd [_trigger]; _logic synchronizeObjectsAdd [_areaLogic,_sideBLUFORLogic,_sideOPFORLogic,_sideINDFORLogic]; _logic setVariable ["CostAir","2",true]; _logic setVariable ["CostInfantry","1",true]; _logic setVariable ["CostPlayers","2",true]; _logic setVariable ["CostTracked","4",true]; _logic setVariable ["CostWater","0",true]; _logic setVariable ["CostWheeled","2",true]; _logic setVariable ["DefaultOwner",1,true]; _logic setVariable ["Designation","A",true]; _logic setVariable ["Name","Alpha",true]; _logic setVariable ["OnOwnerChange","",true]; _logic setVariable ["OwnerLimit","0",true]; _logic setVariable ["ScoreReward","0",true]; _logic setVariable ["TaskDescription","Capture Alpha by eliminating the enemies",true]; _logic setVariable ["TaskOwner",3,true]; _logic setVariable ["TaskTitle","Capture Alpha",true]; [_logic] call BIS_fnc_moduleSector; Produces a few scripting errors, but it works :P Edited May 29, 2015 by Bull_A Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spitfire007 10 Posted May 29, 2015 Thank you ! Question though. How did you find these ? LocationArea_F SideBLUFOR_F etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bull_a 44 Posted May 29, 2015 Those are the vehicle class names for the logics used to initialize the module. If you go into the editor and double click on the map to place a unit, in the top-right hand corner of the option box there is a name. When you select a unit this name changes to the vehicle class name that is currently selected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Larrow 2822 Posted May 30, 2015 Produces a few scripting errors, but it works :P Spawn the logic as a ModuleSector_F instead - you then also do not need to call the module function (you would think this would maybe miss a few variables due to timing but from a few test seems ok). You are also missing the angle from your createTrigger command. This should all be done server side. There is no need to publicVaraible the variables, the module takes care of doing this for you. As a minimum you dont even need the other modules (location,sides) and the module will create its own trigger if none is found. The trigger can also be updated once the module is initialized. e.g //Exit if we are not the server if !( isServer ) exitWith {}; _pos = [_this,0,[],[[],objNull,""],3] call BIS_fnc_param; _pos = _pos call BIS_fnc_position; //Create the sector logic _logic = (createGroup sideLogic) createUnit ["ModuleSector_F",_pos,[],0,"NONE"]; //Default setting, which are optional _logic setVariable ["CostAir","2"]; _logic setVariable ["CostInfantry","1"]; _logic setVariable ["CostPlayers","2"]; _logic setVariable ["CostTracked","4"]; _logic setVariable ["CostWater","0"]; _logic setVariable ["CostWheeled","2"]; _logic setVariable ["DefaultOwner","-1"]; _logic setVariable ["Designation","A"]; _logic setVariable ["Name","Alpha"]; _logic setVariable ["OnOwnerChange",""]; _logic setVariable ["OwnerLimit","0"]; _logic setVariable ["ScoreReward","0"]; _logic setVariable ["TaskDescription","Capture Alpha by eliminating the enemies"]; _logic setVariable ["TaskOwner","3"]; _logic setVariable ["TaskTitle","Capture Alpha"]; //Set the sides for the sector _logic setVariable ["sides",[ east, west ]]; //Wait until sector is initialised waitUntil { !isNil { _logic getVariable [ "finalized", nil ] } && { !( _logic getVariable [ "finalized", true ] ) } }; //A size for the trigger _trgSize = 500; //Set the trigger size on the sector _logic setVariable [ "size", _trgSize ]; //Make the module update its trigger [ _logic, [], true, "area" ] call BIS_fnc_moduleSector; //Unfortunately the sector has not been written to also update its marker so.. //Get the modules trigger _trg = ( _logic getVariable "areas" ) select 0; //Get the triggers marker _mrk = ( _trg getVariable "markers" ) select 0; //Update the markers size _mrk setMarkerSize [ _trgSize, _trgSize ]; 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

atmo 29 Posted April 22, 2016 Hi, Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I don't think the above script seems to work anymore, or I can't get it to work with a simple null = ["mymarker"] execVM "sectorModule.sqf"; in the init line of a unit. I am interested in this working to laydown script defined sectors. The sector doesn't seem to show on the map in single or multiplayer (Eden editor). I hope I find people well.

atmo 29 Posted April 23, 2016 It seems to be getting stuck waiting for the sector to be initialized. //Wait until sector is initialised waitUntil { systemChat format["Here %1", time]; !isNil { _logic getVariable [ "finalized", nil ] } && { !( _logic getVariable [ "finalized", true ] ) } }; I'm still trying to track down the problem..

atmo 29 Posted April 23, 2016 Ah, it seems there is a [_logic] call BIS_fnc_moduleSector; missing just before //Wait until sector is initialised waitUntil { waitUntil { systemChat format["Here %1", time]; !isNil { _logic getVariable [ "finalized", nil ] } && { !( _logic getVariable [ "finalized", true ] ) } }; I don't think the script actually calls the code in the module and therefore doesn't get initialised...

What am I missing here? _logic setVariable ["Designation","1"]; _logic setVariable ["Name","SECTOR 1"]; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
atmo 29 Posted May 1, 2018 Did you call the script in the format null = [sectorMrk,sectorSize,side1,side2,defaultOwner,costAir,costInfantry,costPlayers, costTracked,costWater,costWheeled,designation,name,onOwnerChange,ownerLimit, scoreReward,taskDescription,taskOwner,taskTitle] execVM "sectorModule.sqf"; ?

HI atmo, I tried using the format above and Larrow's script but it does not make a difference. The on-screen designation still shows an "S" when I have designated it as "1" What is strange is that in the EDITOR it works despite the hint message saying it requires a "letter" in the Designation field.

Where Sectors per side only appear once the previous sector has been taken - so linear. I will achieve this by spawning a line of sectors with Tasks Owners BLUFOR only starting from their HQ and OVERLAPPING these will be a line of sectors with Tasks Owners OPFOR. I am also looking at purely scripted sectors (script and markers) but there are complications around for Bleed Ticket Systems that as well as it is visually less tidy than the modules.

Larrow 2822 Posted June 4, 2018 There is never ever any need to call the modules function for initialisation. It already does this by itself when the module is spawned via entries in its config. There is never any need to remoteExec anything to clients as the module should only ever be created on the server and the module already takes care of handling clients and JIP for you. The reason some of you maybe seeing problems is likely a timing issue between the module being spawned and the object variables being set. Here is an updated version using TYPE createUnit ARRAY which allows for setting the variables in the object init. If the function is called anywhere but the server then it will remoteExec it to the server. I have also included a CfgRemoteExec section to make sure it can never be remoteExec'ed anywhere other than to the server.

Tested SP, MP hosted/dedicated and JIP. Should be good but have not put through extensive testing other than the examples available in the demo mission provided. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
