Toggle Dynamic Groups UI from script?

[SirMrE 18]

Hi everyone,

 

I have been searching, but without luck, for information on how to (if its all possible?) to toggle the Dynamic Groups UI (triggered by "U" by default).

Anyone know if a way to toggle it?

 

EDIT: I am trying to make the Dynamic Groups menu to show from an onclick even in one of my own dialogs.

Seems it's tied to the TeamSwitch action.  More info here: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Dynamic_Groups#Accessing_the_Dynamic_Groups_interface

Thanks a lot, I think/hope I am in the right direction now!

 

My problem is now, if I try the following:

onButtonClick = "closeDialog 0; player action [""TeamSwitch"", player];";

the game crashes due to memory access violation.

Am I missing something here? Is the syntax I am using for "action" wrong?

 

Thanks again, I really appreciate the help with this

Did you make sure to register the Dynamic Group system on both the server and player sides?  Were you testing in multiplayer?

 

Before that pressing U did nothing.  After that it at showed the normal teamswitch UI with some errors.  I'm guessing you need another player online for it to work?

 

Why is just pressing U not an option for this?

["Initialize"] call bis_fnc_dynamicGroups

Yea I have initialised it, though both in the map file:

 

supremacy.altis/InitPlayerLocal.sqf:

if (!isDedicated) then {
    ["InitializePlayer", [player]] call BIS_fnc_dynamicGroups;
};

supremacy.altis/initServer.sqf:

if (isDedicated) then {
    // Initializes the Dynamic Groups framework
    ["Initialize"] call BIS_fnc_dynamicGroups;
};

When I hit "U" it shows up and works just fine, so I reckon its all good to go.

 

I run the dedicated server locally on the same computer as the game.

 

Pressing U is fine, but I just thought I would make a navigation option as well for those who are not aware of it being enabled and available. (Or in case they don't have it bound)

I only had that answer lying around somewhere as I had to hijack the function so it would run additional actions during the course of people clicking on things.  I don't really like fiddling around in displays and dialogs too much tbh, as although I can code stuff OK for them, they're really boring to work with and a necessary evil of scripting (ie they're only there to get the job done).

 

I'd much rather be doing scripting like quad-bike volcanoes tbh!  xD

And soon we have a map where the quad-vulcano can be applied and look... erm... natural? ..
