Hi, 

ok, simply said, I'm working on a "Casualty Counters".

 

Without further due, here is the scripts that make it.

 

Init.sqf

apcLosesRU = 0; // rhs_vehclass_apc
apcLosesListRU = [];
ifvLosesRU = 0; // rhs_vehclass_ifv
ifvLosesListRU = [];
carLosesRU = 0; // rhs_vehclass_car
carLosesListRU = [];
truckLosesRU = 0; // rhs_vehclass_truck - RHS_BM21_MSV_01
truckLosesListRU = [];
tankLosesRU = 0; // rhs_vehclass_tank
tankLosesListRU = [];
artilleryLosesRU = 0; // rhs_vehclass_artillery + RHS_BM21_MSV_01
artilleryLosesListRU = [];
infantryLosesRU = 0; // man (east)
staticLosesRU = 0; // StaticWeapon (east)
staticLosesListRU = [];
planeLosesRU = 0; // rhs_vehclass_aircraft
planeLosesListRU = [];
helicopterLosesRU = 0; // rhs_vehclass_helicopter
helicopterLosesListRU = [];
aaaLosesRU = 0; // rhs_vehclass_aa
aaaLosesListRU = [];

sleep 0.1;
nul = [] execVM "losesCounter\losesTrackerRU.sqf";
nul = [10] execVM "losesCounter\losesTrackerRU_Updates.sqf";

diag_log format ["Lost Armored Anti-Airs List : %1",_aaaLosesListRU];
diag_log "////////////////////////////////FINISHES//////////////////////////////";

sleep _timer;
};

So, what do not work, is that Vehicles are not pickup when they get killed/destroyed.

 

Results in .rpt

21:01:11 "////////////////////////////////STARTS////////////////////////////////"
21:01:11 "Lost 0 APCs"
21:01:11 "Lost APCs List : []"
21:01:11 "Lost 0 IFVs"

21:01:11 "Lost 0 Cars"
21:01:11 "Lost Cars List : []"

21:01:11 "Lost Trucks List : []"
21:01:11 "Lost 0 Tanks"
21:01:11 "Lost Tanks List : []"
21:01:11 "Lost 0 SPGs/MRLS"
21:01:11 "Lost SPGs/MRLS List : []"
21:01:11 "Lost 14 Men"
21:01:11 "Lost 0 Static Emplacements"
21:01:11 "Lost Static Emplacements List : []"
21:01:11 "Lost 0 Planes"
21:01:11 "Lost Planes List : []"
21:01:11 "Lost 0 Helicopters"
21:01:11 "Lost Helicopters List : []"
21:01:11 "Lost 0 Armored Anti-Airs"
21:01:11 "Lost Armored Anti-Airs List : []"
21:01:11 "////////////////////////////////FINISHES//////////////////////////////"

So, the loses detection works just great for infantry.

However it do not pick-up the vehicles.

 

Any clue?

 

Thanks in advance!

You can not use _x within the eventHandler as it is undefined there. Use the object passed into the EH in _this select 0 instead. This will account for your type arrays being empty.

rhs_vehClass_# are not vehicle classes, they are classes used to sort the vehicle lists in the editor dropdowns. To find the vehicle classes highlight a class in CfgVehicles in the configViewer and look at the bottom line..

For example a "rhs_t80b" will say..

path : configfile >> "CfgVehicles" >> "rhs_t80b"

parents : ["rhs_tank_base","Tank_F","Tank","LandVehicle","Land","AllVehicles","All"]

So a "rhs_t80b" is a kindof "rhs_tank_base" which in turn is a kind of "Tank_F" which is a "Tank" etc etc.

So depending on how broad you need to be, the further up the list you go.

If you want to know based on the editor lists rhs_vehClass_# you can but instead of using isKindof, you will need to check their config. e.g

if ( getText ( configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> typeOf _x >> "vehicleClass" ) isEqualTo  "rhs_vehclass_tank" ) then {
	_x addEventHandler ["killed", {
		tankLosesRU = tankLosesRU + 1;
		publicVariable "tankLosesRU";
		//publicVariableServer "tankLosesRU";
		_vehicleType = typeOf ( _this select 0 );
		tankLosesListRU pushBack _vehicleType;
		publicVariable "tankLosesListRU";
		//publicVariableServer "tankLosesListRU";
	}];
};

No change in results. Could it be that crewed vehicle cannot receive an event-handler?

 

I even tested on having "Tank" as the isKindOf check reference, nothing came-up. Could it have something to do with the crew bailing out before it explodes?

 

Ok, I can make work with what you wrote, the problem seemed to be:

}forEach allunits + vehicles;

When I seperate the script in "allunits" and "vehicles" part, independant of each others, it works great.

 

Thanks for the help :)
