Newbie question - folder structure of my addon

[jaynic 1]

Hi all,

I am tring to create a basic addon that decreases the amount of fatigue by a variable. I have made it in individual missions, but I'd like to make it an addon so I can have it accessible all the time with my group...

 

I have looked for a guide on how to get this started, but haven't come up with anything. Everything I see is about creating some magical 'p' drive and all this... It seems like it's overly complex for what I'm attempting - I should just be able to script this, correct?

 

Anyways, I have the following script:

 

if !(hasInterface) exitWith{};

waitUntil {!isNull(findDisplay 46)};

waitUntil {!isNull player};


//set global variables

missionNamespace setVariable ["OHTC_FatigueMultiplier", 0.3];


_l = 0; //The last fatigue we had

while {true} do {

	if(!(isNil "OHTC_FatigueMultiplier") && typeName OHTC_FatigueMultiplier == "SCALAR" && OHTC_FatigueMultiplier >0 0 OHTC_FatigueMultiplier <= 1) then {

		//The current fatigue of the player

		_c = getfatigue player;


		//The default increase: ie: difference between what we have now, and what we had last time we ran

		_di = _c - _l;


		//The NEW increase in fatigue would be the percentage we request of the default increase

		_ni = _di - (_di * OHTC_FatigueMultiplier);


		//Assuming we've gone up: let's set the fatigue to the new value;

		if(_ni > 0) then {

			player setFatigue _c - _ni;

		};


		systemChat format ["Last: %1, Current: %2, Default Inc: %3, Multiplier: %4, New Inc: %5, Final Fatigue: %6", _l, _c, _di, OHTC_FatigueMultiplier, _ni, getfatigue player];


		//Now we set our last historical value to our modified value

		_l = getfatigue player;


	};

	sleep 1;

}

And I want it as a mod. I've taken apart a couple mods with Elitness, but I'm not understanding how to piece one together myself.

 

I have folder in my arma directory called "@OHTCfatigueMultiplier".

Inside this folder I have another folder called "addons"

Inside the addons folder I have a script - init.sqf - that contains the above script.

 

What else am I missing, please?

 

Thank you

You need a config.cpp (don't ask me how to write this to execute your script, I've no idea) as well as the script itself all packed in a .PBO

Simply having the script in a mod folder wont do anything.

 

EDIT: Although, you could just pbo the script and then execute it in every mission by just pathing to the pbo/script and do it that way.

I ended up posting in Armaholic too http://www.armaholic.com/forums.php?m=posts&q=32955

 

User 654wak654 was able to demonstrate the structure. I got it working. Super happy. Except now I'm not going to touch it for a long time until my group is all done with Fallout 4 :P

 

Thanks
