Access from init.sqf

But nobody jumped out. You probably think about parachute. But this is cargo drop generated by script. It has nothing to do with crew or chopper.

[barbolani 198]

Try to debug it and know if the chopper considers the first waypoint reached.

 

Dropping the cargo don't prooves it, as it's code is waypoint independent.

 

Because maybe your chopper is still trying to reach his first waypoint.

[kromka 40]

@barbolani

Chopper definitely reach first WP.

To check it i use script distance2D and additionally

expectedDestination

When chopper reaches first WP coordinates of second WP are hinted properly until he arrives border of airfield.

Only objects placed there are waypoints of another vehicles. But "expectedDestination" shows that choppers 2 WP in this moment are changed to some other values (always the same).

Is it possible WP of one unit may interfers with other unit?

[f2k sel 164]

Could it be detecting the enemy units and deciding to flee rather than engage or ignore.

 

you could try making them dumber

{
_x disableAI "FSM";
_x disableAI "target";
_x disableAI "autotarget";
_x allowfleeing 0;
} foreach crew vehiclename;

.

[kromka 40]

YES

You are god of scripting :)

It solves problem of changing course. Althought i am not sure why "civilian" retreats from east. But i will check it.

[barbolani 198]

Oh yes, I had the same problem long time ago for fastroping.

 

In Arma engine civvies dislike CSAT, can't remember the technical Word for that.

[kromka 40]

_x disableAI "FSM";

is not necessary because at some point it cause chopper just stops.

It has still the same WP, but it doesn't fly forward anymore just hangs.
 

[f2k sel 164]

strange it should only disable the danger routine, but being Arma strange things happen all the time.

 

I found flyinheight was having the same effect now and again.

[kromka 40]

Unfortunately I have another question.

In MP I've placed couple of players.

I want to add this selectable respawn menu. I know how to do it, i know how to prevent of choosing respawn first time, but I don't know how to make user don't appear in any respawn point but one the position which has been placed in editor.

Is it possible? Maybe there is other approach?

Regards.

Long time gone...

Quiet obvious (probably) problem:

 

init.sqf:

/***** PLAYERS *****/
slots = [slot, slot_1, slot_2, slot_3, slot_4, slot_5];
_handle = [slots] execVM "scripts\cleanNonFilledSlots.sqf";
waitUntil {scriptDone _handle};

gMasters = [gm_czarny];
{
	_x addBackpack "tf_rt1523g";
	_x addCuratorEditableObjects [vehicles,true];
	_x addCuratorEditableObjects [(allMissionObjects "Man"), false];
	_x addCuratorEditableObjects [(allMissionObjects "Air"), true];
	_x addCuratorEditableObjects [(allMissionObjects "Ammo"), false];
} forEach [zeus_czarny];

players = allPlayers;
{
	null = [[_x], "guer"] execVM "scripts\setObjSide.sqf";
} forEach players;

null = [fiaWeaponCrate, count allPlayers] execVM "scripts_specific\addFiaStuffToCrate.sqf";

if (isNil "jammingStarted") then 
{
	jammingStarted = false;
};

addFiaStuffToCrate.sqf:

	private ["_crate", "_howManyPlayers"];
	_crate = _this select 0;
	_howManyPlayers = 5;

	clearWeaponCargo _crate;
	clearItemCargo _crate;
	clearBackpackCargo _crate;
	clearMagazineCargo _crate;

	// clothes and containters

	// items
	_crate addItemCargo ["FirstAidKit", _howManyPlayers];
	_crate addItemCargo ["ItemMap", _howManyPlayers];
	_crate addItemCargo ["ItemCompass", _howManyPlayers];
	_crate addItemCargo ["ItemWatch", _howManyPlayers];
	_crate addItemCargo ["ItemRadio", _howManyPlayers];
	_crate addItemCargo ["Medikit", 1];
	_crate addItemCargo ["ToolKit", 1];
	_crate addItemCargo ["tf_anprc152_2", _howManyPlayers];

Problem is any player sees modified crate on dedicated server. I've tries every configuration with isServer. I also added line

null = [fiaWeaponCrate, count allPlayers] execVM "scripts_specific\addFiaStuffToCrate.sqf";

to initPlayerLocal. And nothing. I ran mission on dedicated and on local server (from eden) when I ran it from eden only me can use modified crate.

Help.

[davidoss 550]

You should use global command to add stuff to the box otherwise

changes  will be only visible for that client where script executed

	params ["_crate", ["_howManyPlayers",5]];

	clearWeaponCargoGlobal _crate;
	clearItemCargoGlobal _crate;
	clearBackpackCargoGlobal _crate;
	clearMagazineCargoGlobal _crate;

	// clothes and containters

	// items
	_crate addItemCargoGlobal ["FirstAidKit", _howManyPlayers];
	_crate addItemCargoGlobal ["ItemMap", _howManyPlayers];
	_crate addItemCargoGlobal ["ItemCompass", _howManyPlayers];
	_crate addItemCargoGlobal ["ItemWatch", _howManyPlayers];
	_crate addItemCargoGlobal ["ItemRadio", _howManyPlayers];
	_crate addItemCargoGlobal ["Medikit", 1];
	_crate addItemCargoGlobal ["ToolKit", 1];
	_crate addItemCargoGlobal ["tf_anprc152_2", _howManyPlayers];

Pozdrawiam..

[kromka 40]

Maaan, it works. Thank you!

I need to check what is the purpose of adding non-global stuff. I am really curious.

Regards

[kromka 40]

Is any difference if I will initialize variable _var with "1" (integer) or "1.0" (float)?

 

_var = 1

 

or

 

_var = 1.0

[davidoss 550]

Place this in debug console in watch section and find out yourself

_var1= 1; _var2= 1.0; _var1 isEqualTo _var2

[kromka 40]

I see "true".

I've read somewhere that every Number in scripts is float, but I see it isn't mandatory to use always x.x format.

I tried o find any info about it on https://community.bistudio.com/wikibut it is quiet hard, but it seems there is some implicit conversion to float. Am I right?

Hi. After long time I need help once again.

 

I create in init.sqf some variable:

varA = objNull;

In onPlayerRespawn.sqf I use it and pass to script:

[varA] exeVM "myScript.sqf"

In myScript.sqf I do something like this (if teleportTarget is already created:

hint format["%1", _this select 0];
teleportTarget = _this select 0;

fnc_addTeleport=
{
    private _placePosition = ((getPosATL player) findEmptyPosition [1, 5, "Flag_Green_F"]);
    if(count _placePosition == 3) then
    {
        teleportTarget = "Flag_Green_F" createVehicle _placePosition;
        if(player == sideLeader) then
        {    
            player removeAction idActionAddTeleport;
            idActionRemoveTeleport = player addAction actionRemoveTeleport;
        };
        idActionTeleport = player addAction actionTeleport;
    };
};

........... some piece of code ..............

if(teleportTarget isEqualTo objNull) then
{
    if(player == sideLeader) then
    {
        idActionAddTeleport = player addAction actionAddTeleport;
    };
}
else
{
	if(player == sideLeader) then 
	{
		player removeAction idActionRemoveTeleport;
		idActionRemoveTeleport = player addAction actionRemoveTeleport;
	};
	idActionTeleport = player addAction actionTeleport;
};

Problem is whenever I call myScript.sqf teleportTarget is always null.

I expect it shouldn't be null. I read that local vars are nullfied after script, but teleportTarget is global one. On the other side I can't do something like (_this select 0) = something. I recieve then some error.

I would like to recieve something called in C++ "passing by reference" (variable state is remembered after exit of function). How to solve this?

since varA is always objNull, it is quite logical your

will also always be objNull

[kromka 40]

init.sqf is done only once on the beginning of the mission.

 

Then if it is null, player who is sideLeader

if(teleportTarget isEqualTo objNull) then 
{
	if(player == sideLeader) then 
	{ idActionAddTeleport = player addAction actionAddTeleport; }; 
}

has possibility to create an object which is assigned to teleportTarget

fnc_addTeleport=
{
    private _placePosition = ((getPosATL player) findEmptyPosition [1, 5, "Flag_Green_F"]);
    if(count _placePosition == 3) then
    {
        teleportTarget = "Flag_Green_F" createVehicle _placePosition;		//here is creation
        if(player == sideLeader) then
        {    
            player removeAction idActionAddTeleport;
            idActionRemoveTeleport = player addAction actionRemoveTeleport;
        };
        idActionTeleport = player addAction actionTeleport;
    };
};

Now teleportTarget is not a null. And I would like to do somehow varA assigned to teleportTarget also should contain element "Flag_Green_F".

 

I would like to do something like this:

C++ code

int main()
{
    int a = 3;
    someFunc(a);
    //now "a" is 4 not 3 because "a" was send to someFunc as a reference
    return 0;
}

void someFunc(int& param)
{
    param++;
}

Sorry for other language code but it explain exactly what i would like to achieve.

[killzone_kid 1326]

sideLeader is not a command, so if it is undefined your code that is followed will be ignored. Also will possibly throw undefined error. You do have errors enabled, right?

 

if you want to pass something by reference, put it in array and then modify array with set command

[kromka 40]

I dont have any errors. sideLeader is in

........... some piece of code ..............

which I've omitted to simplify this example. My apologies if this misleaded you.

I will check this passing using array. It may solve all my problems.

[kromka 40]

@killzone_kid

Thank you. Your suggestion about array works just like i needed.

Now I see something very weird. When I run mission as MP in Eden, I can place and remove object as expected, but after respawn (from menu) when I point on my body, menu action is multiplied? When I move head to other direction this multiplication dissapears.

Why?

This is package with the whole script. It is rather simple one: it just adds to the leader possibility to add/remove teleport mast (green flag) and to all players possibility to teleport from red flag to this mast.

teleportToFlag

[killzone_kid 1326]

I can’t see the code, but if you added action to player it will not magically get removed just because you died, so when you look at your body it will show it to you. Add removeAllActions corpse on respawn or on death

[kromka 40]

I don't know why Dropbox prevents displaing content. Anyway it is downloadable.

Earlier I've tried to remove all actions but it changes nothing.

I've add to first line of onPlayerRespawn.sqf "removeAllActions player;" (script is called on secong line) but it also changes nothing.

 

How it is even possible to see menu from my corpse because of watching at it? Is it intentional or is it bug?

[pierremgi 4739]

Not removeAllActions player, but removeAllActions (_this select 1); See argument parameters here.
