davidoss 552 Posted December 28, 2016 Hi. I encountered an strange behaviour of BIS_fnc_ObjectVar. I would like to knew what cause this. This is about map building objects called on BIS_fnc_ObjectVar. In SP: buildingobject call BIS_fnc_ObjectVar // is returning variable like bis_o6 which is ok in MP buildingobject call BIS_fnc_ObjectVar // is returning variable like bis_o1_-2046404426 which is wrong ,causing errors It is normal situation or i am doing something wrong? Quote Identifiers may consist of any ASCII text characters (a-z, A-Z), numbers (0-9) and underscores (_) Identifiers must not start with a number (f.i. "9myVariable") Identifiers of local variables must start with an underscore Quote 16:27:43 Error in expression <iag_log str XZJNjl; diag_log str bis_o1_-2046404426;[XZJNjl,bis_o1_-2046404426] > 16:27:43 Error position: <-2046404426;[XZJNjl,bis_o1_-2046404426] > 16:27:43 Error -: Type Nothing, expected Number,Array,Not a Number In addition i need to say when the object is for example dead body, no problem at all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Larrow 2822 Posted December 28, 2016 Its normal, BIS_fnc_objectVar uses the objects NetID in MP to create its vehicleVarName and map objects as you describe have a NetID of #:-# where # are numbers and the function replaces the : with an underscore, leaving the minus symbol in place to create something like bis_o1_-1750935547. Using this as a reference like getPos bis_o1_-1750935547; will cause you problems due to the minus symbol but you can always refer to it as a string in missionNamespace .. getPos ( missionNamespace getVariable "bis_o1_-1750935547" ); You also do not have to rely on the NetID for the object var name if you supply it with a unique vehicleVarName first e.g _object setVehicleVarName "MyObject"; _object call BIS_fnc_objectVar; Will use the var name as supplied and the function will just take care of making it a global(missionNamespace) variable across all connected machines and add a Local EH and object variable of #var for if it changes locality which is most likely unneeded for map objects. Or you can handle it yourself by.. _object setVehicleVarName "MyHouse"; missionNamespace setVariable [ "MyHouse", _object, true ]; Without the Local EH and its accompanying object variable #var as explained above, is likely of no use for map objects. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidoss 552 Posted December 28, 2016 Thanks for dazzle the darkness a little bit. Quote _object setVehicleVarName "MyHouse"; missionNamespace setVariable [ "MyHouse", _object, true ]; I do exactly the same using your setvehicleVarname function and i realize that the map buildings will not get set variable at all only spawned object works checked with vehiclevarname cursortarget; // "" The ( missionNamespace getVariable "bis_o1_-1750935547" ) could work but the problem is i cant (or do not knew how) use any string in expression which is already a string. _expression = format ["<br /><execute expression='[%1,%2] call fnc_createObjTask'>Read the documents</execute><br />",_targetObj,_intelholder call BIS_fnc_objectVar]; //_targetObj has globalvariable set. //_intelholder is a building, map object. //I failed setting up global variable in missionnamespace for map buildings, no errors just no variable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Larrow 2822 Posted December 28, 2016 The vehicleVarName will only be set locally (AG,EL) where the command was run. On other clients you reference it by using the missionNamespace variable. Client 1 before command Client 1 after command Notice the vehicleVarName is correct as it was set using this client Client 2 after command has been run on client 1 Notice client 2 has been able to destroy the house (setDamage 1) by using the missionNamespace reference to the building "MyHouse" even thought the vehicleVarName is "" What are you trying to do exactly? Is this still about that other thread of yours about formatting objects into intel? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidoss 552 Posted December 28, 2016 Yes. This is still that job. After i run this in MP i got those errors as above an i am trying to pickup this together again. The whole workaround is to do random: store object which will be an objective for current intel store building object where the intel file is spawned or store object which will be an objective for current intel store enemy unit near where the intel file will be spawned after the unit gets killed pass that objects into client side function which is called after client click intel expression link The whole intel event is spawned by trigger after all objects of operation area are spawned: [_thisTrigger] call fnc_createIntel;

Larrow 2822 Posted December 28, 2016 fnc_createObjTask = { params[ "_target", "_objectVar" ]; [ _target, "task1", [ "Destroy House", "Destroy House", "" ], missionNamespace getVariable _objectVar, true, 1, true, "destroy" ] call BIS_fnc_taskCreate; }; player addAction[ "Create Obj Task", { player createDiaryRecord [ "Diary", format ["<br /><execute expression='[%1,%2] call fnc_createObjTask'>Read the documents</execute><br />",west,str(cursorTarget call BIS_fnc_objectVar)] ]; }]; I realise im using _target differently from what you want but example still shows how to format objectVar as a string into a diary expression which is all the intel is doing. Then i retrieve the object using missionNamespace getVariable. If I placed this example in initPlayerLocal.sqf any player could use the action and the house they are pointing to would become the target of the task. No need to remoteExec taskCreate as it already propagates to all clients. Or as KK shows above you can also use objects NetID fnc_createObjTask = { params[ "_target", "_objectID" ]; [ _target, "task1", [ "Destroy House", "Destroy House", "" ], objectFromNetId _objectID, true, 1, true, "destroy" ] call BIS_fnc_taskCreate; }; player addAction[ "Create Obj Task", { player createDiaryRecord [ "Diary", format ["<br /><execute expression='[%1,%2] call fnc_createObjTask'>Read the documents</execute><br />",west, str ( netId cursorTarget )] ]; }] 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Larrow 2822 Posted December 29, 2016 Stop trying to format the Object into the expression and either pass the object as its missionNamespace variable name as a STRING or the object NetID which is a STRING representing it netID numbers, then get the object in fnc_createObjectTask by using either missionNamespace on the STRING or objectFromNetID on the STRING if a NetID, as per my previous two examples. I gave you two clear examples and you have not followed either, this... missionNamespace getVariable (format ["%1",_targetObj]),missionNamespace getVariable (format ["%1",_intelholder]) I have no idea what you are doing here. I presume _targetObj/_intelHolder is a vehicleVarName ? If so getting the missionNamespace reference will just turn it back into a object. If its a reference to the object itself then the missionNamespace var of "612c7900# 69065: i_house_big_02_v1_f.p3d" wont exist and should be Nil. objectFromNetId (_intelholder call BIS_fnc_netId) Makes absolutley zero sense, why turn an object into a string of it netID BIS_fnc_netID which you immediately turn back into a object objectFromNetID when you know from your previous examples an object will not format properly in a usable way into your text. Also NetID is only a valid way of doing it if you are in MP, unless you use the BI functions which are SP compatible. _targetObj setVehicleVarName "MyTarget"; //Give Object vehicleVarName missionNamespace setVariable[ "MyTarget", _targetObj, true ]; //Point missionNamespace var of same STRING to reference the object, and PVed _intelholder setVehicleVarName "MyIntelHolder"; //Give Object vehicleVarName missionNamespace setVariable[ "MyIntelHolder", _intelholder, true ]; //Point missionNamespace var of same STRING to reference the object, and PVed //The above STRINGs can be anything if you are randomising stuff //just make sure the same string is used for both the vehicleVarName and the missionNamespace Var of each object //and each objects string is unique _expression = format ["<br /><execute expression='[%1,%2] call fnc_createObjTask'>Read the documents</execute><br />", str vehicleVarName _targetObj,str vehicleVarName _intelholder]; //Format variable names into text as STRINGs, str will wrap them in "" fnc_createObjTask = { params[ "_targetObj", "_intelholder" ]; _targetObj = missionNamespace getVariable _targetObj; //Retrieve object from missionNamespace variable _intelholder = missionNamespace getVariable _intelholder; //Retrieve object from missionNamespace variable }; Same thing as my first example just written a different way, maybe this will help. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
