Error with making a module.

[JasperRab 26]

Hello forum,

 

I keep getting an error when I try to make an module. The error is: [bIS_fnc_moduleExecute] Cannot execute module, error found in "a_function_name".

 

I've rebuild the module multiple times, I even copied everything from the Arma 3 Module Framework page and still get the error.

 

Does anyone of you guys know where I'm wrong with this? Or anyone has this issue fixed and knows the solution.

What does your config look like?

I've made a new one multiple times but here are two one of them is one I made and the other one is from the BIKI page.
 
My one:

                                class two
                                {

                        };

As you can see I changed barely anything in the one from BIKI only the path to the file.

 

And the errors I'm getting are with the function name etr_modules_fnc_test and myTag_fnc_moduleNuke.

It's because your function "etr_modules_fnc_test", doesn't exist, because you haven't defined a "tag" for your functions in CfgFunctions, so you need to do the following to make it work the way you want:

class CfgFunctions 
{
	class etr_operation_assets_modules_test
	{
		tag = "etr_modules";
		class Test
		{
			file = "\etr_operation_assets\Modules\test\Functions";
			class test{};
		};
	};
};

Here is an example of how my custom module setup looks like, using my simple garrison function:

class CfgPatches
{
	class JSHK_garrison
	{
		units[] = {"JSHK_garrisonModule"};
		requiredVersion = 1.0;
		requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Modules_F"};
	};
};

class CfgFactionClasses
{
	class JSHK;
	class JSHK_garrisonClass: JSHK
	{
		displayName = "JSHK - Garrison";
	};
};

class CfgVehicles
{
	class Logic;
	class Module_F: Logic
	{
		class ArgumentsBaseUnits
		{
			class Units;
		};
		class ModuleDescription
		{
			class EmptyDetector;
		};
	
	};
	
	class JSHK_garrisonModule: Module_F
	{
		scope = 2;
		displayName = "JSHK - Garrison";
		category = "Garrison";
		
		function = "JSHK_fnc_garrison";
		functionPriority = 1;
		isGlobal = 0;
		isTriggerActivated = 1;
		isDisposable = 1;
		
		curatorInfoType = "RscDisplayAttributegarrisonModule";
		
		class Arguments: ArgumentsBaseUnits
		{
			// Arguments shared by specific module type (have to be mentioned in order to be placed on top)
			class Units: Units {};
			
			class JSHK_garrisonSide
			{
				displayName = "Side of Garrisoned Units"; // Argument label
				description = "Choose One"; // Tooltip description
				typeName = "STRING"; // Value type, can be "NUMBER", "STRING" or "BOOL"
				class values
				{
					class EAST	{name = "EAST";	value = "east"; default = 1;}; // Listbox item
					class WEST	{name = "WEST"; value = "west";};
					class INDEPENDENT	{name = "INDEPENDENT"; value = "independent";};
					class CIVILIAN	{name = "CIVILIAN"; value = "civilian";};
				};
			};
			
			class JSHK_garrisonRadius
			{
				displayName = "Garrison Radius"; // Argument label
				description = ""; // Tooltip description
				typeName = "NUMBER"; // Value type, can be "NUMBER", "STRING" or "BOOL"
				defaultValue = 200;
			};
			
			class JSHK_garrisonPercent
			{
				displayName = "Building Fill Percentage"; // Argument label
				description = "Must be between 0-1"; // Tooltip description
				typeName = "NUMBER"; // Value type, can be "NUMBER", "STRING" or "BOOL"
				defaultValue = 0.2;
			};
			
			class JSHK_garrisonLimit
			{
				displayName = "Limit Units Spawned"; // Argument label
				description = ">(-1) overwrites percent fill, (-1) to use percent"; // Tooltip description
				typeName = "NUMBER"; // Value type, can be "NUMBER", "STRING" or "BOOL"
				defaultValue = -1;
			};
			
			class JSHK_garrisonUnits
			{
				displayName = "Types of Units"; // Argument label
				description = "Array of Classnames"; // Tooltip description
				typeName = "ARRAY"; // Value type, can be "NUMBER", "STRING" or "BOOL"
				defaultValue = ["O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_AR_F"];
			};
		};
		
		class ModuleDescription: ModuleDescription
		{
			description = "J.Shock Garrison Module";
			sync[] = {};
			
			position = 1; // Position is taken into effect
			direction = 0; // Direction is taken into effect
		};
	};
};

class CfgFunctions
{
	class JSHK
	{
		tag = "JSHK";
		class Garrison
		{
			file = "JSHK_garrison";
			class garrison {};
			class buildingPositions {};
		};
	};
};

Nice, got it fixed you're a hero, shame that the BIKI doesn't explain that  :( .

Probably doesn't specifically reference that because it's not about module framework, that's a function framework issue.

[JasperRab 26]

Ok, I got that issue fixed now but currently I'm getting a error in the log files.

 

 

15:57:01 Error in expression <_fnc_moduleInit_modules",[]]);

_modules set [_modules find _logic,-1];

_logicMai>

15:57:01   Error position: <set [_modules find _logic,-1];

_logicMai>

15:57:01   Error Zero divisor

15:57:01 File A3\functions_f\Modules\fn_moduleExecute.sqf, line 50

 

The function works but I'm just making sure I'm not making any bigger error's with this.

I had this same problem with my module. I took a look at A3\functions_f\Modules\fn_moduleExecute.sqf, And that part of the script is activated by setting

isDisposable = 1;

I set it to 0 and it worked without an error.
