ShadowRanger24 50 Posted June 19, 2017 So I noticed that I haven't seen many missions use any sort of auto-run feature, so I decided to write my own script for it which I thought some people might want to use. I've put it into a KeyDown event handler to demonstrate how it could be implemented, but feel free to use it however you like. (findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", { params ["_control", "_dikCode", "_shift", "_ctrl", "_alt"]; private _handled = false; switch (_dikCode) do { // Key 0 case 11: { if (isNil "AR_active") then {AR_active = false;}; if (AR_active) exitWith {AR_active = false; _handled = true;}; if (!isNull objectParent player) exitWith {}; if (surfaceIsWater (getPos player)) exitWith {}; AR_active = true; AR_weapon = currentWeapon player; AR_animation = switch (true) do { case (AR_weapon isEqualTo ""): {"AmovPercMevaSnonWnonDf"}; case (AR_weapon isEqualTo (primaryWeapon player)): {"AmovPercMevaSlowWrflDf"}; case (AR_weapon isEqualTo (secondaryWeapon player)): {"AmovPercMevaSlowWrflDf"}; case (AR_weapon isEqualTo (handgunWeapon player)): {"AmovPercMevaSlowWpstDf"}; }; player playMoveNow AR_animation; player addEventHandler ["AnimChanged", { if ((!AR_active) || {!((currentWeapon player) isEqualTo AR_weapon)} || {!isNull objectParent player} || {surfaceIsWater (getPos player)}) exitWith { player removeEventHandler ["AnimChanged", _thisEventHandler]; AR_weapon = currentWeapon player; AR_animation = switch (true) do { case (AR_weapon isEqualTo ""): {"AmovPercMstpSnonWnonDnon"}; case (AR_weapon isEqualTo (primaryWeapon player)): {"AmovPercMstpSlowWrflDnon"}; case (AR_weapon isEqualTo (secondaryWeapon player)): {"AmovPercMevaSlowWlnrDf"}; case (AR_weapon isEqualTo (handgunWeapon player)): {"AmovPercMstpSlowWpstDnon"}; }; player playMoveNow AR_animation; AR_active = false; AR_weapon = nil; AR_animation = nil; }; player playMoveNow AR_animation; }]; _handled = true; }; }; _handled }]; There is only one caveat to this script that I've noticed, which is that when running up hills it doesn't slow you down like it would if you were to run up one normally. Updated (21/06/2017): - Auto run now automatically disables when the player runs into water or gets into a vehicle - Auto run can no longer be started if in water or a vehicle - Changed an occurrence of playMove to playMoveNow 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kremator 1065 Posted June 19, 2017 If you can run up hills without penalty it needs to be renamed IRONMAN or HERCULES script :) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tschuuut 6 Posted June 19, 2017 Looks nice. You can try to use something like https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/surfaceNormal to, to test if you are running up hills Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bad benson 1733 Posted June 19, 2017 player addEventHandler ["KeyDown",... what's that? is this pseudo code? or did i miss something? interesting approach though. although i'd personally think about designign the mission in a way that something liek auto run is not needed. but i understand the need for it for dayZ like modes.

Oh wow I'm a goose completely didn't notice. I had this code implemented differently in my mission so I extracted it out and wasn't thinking when I put it in this thread. I've corrected it. Thanks for pointing that out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grumpy Old Man 3545 Posted June 19, 2017 It's always a good idea to test a snippet before posting it on the forums. This holds true especially when extracting it out of your own framework. Just a quick paste into the debug console does suffice. For beginners scripting can be confusing enough without non working examples floating around in the forums. Cheers 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Yeah I definitely will for future. This is my first script release so haven't done it many times before. Cheers for the advice though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xDrokZ 1 Posted June 20, 2017 Great job! Works fine so far. Im trying to make it beeing disabled when entering a vehicle, running up hills or entering water but no success yet. Maybe anyone else can help out :) This is what i got al least to make em not start running when already in water: https://pastebin.com/5fjbPh8F 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Donnie_Plays 435 Posted December 9, 2018 I have been toying around with this but cannot seem to get it to work. Where do I place the dik code for the key I want to use? I'm assuming this script is just going into an sqf and being executed on init.sqf? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pSiKO 124 Posted May 28, 2019 Hi everybody, it's an old version but still very useful, I give you my own version of this script - different animation added - stop when blocked - stop on any key I use a different addEventHandler (at the end of the animation) that makes the code smaller and the animation more fluid I add another EH binded on any key to stop running. I hope it's help, anyway thank you very much for your post! the example below uses the custom user action key # 2 // Alway run // from https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/205916-release-auto-run-script/ // revisited by pSiKO (findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", { if (_this select 1 == (actionKeys 'User2') select 0) then { if (isNil "AR_active") then {AR_active = false}; if (AR_active) exitWith {AR_active = false}; if (!isNull objectParent player) exitWith {}; if (surfaceIsWater (getPos player)) exitWith {}; AR_active = true; AR_weapon = currentWeapon player; AR_animation = switch (true) do { case (AR_weapon isEqualTo ""): {"AmovPercMevaSnonWnonDf"}; case (AR_weapon isEqualTo (handgunWeapon player)): {"AmovPercMevaSlowWpstDf"}; case (AR_weapon isEqualTo (primaryWeapon player)): {"AmovPercMevaSlowWrflDf"}; case (AR_weapon isEqualTo (secondaryWeapon player)): {"AmovPercMevaSlowWlnrDf"}; }; player addEventHandler ["AnimDone", { if ((!AR_active) || {!((currentWeapon player) isEqualTo AR_weapon)} || {!isNull objectParent player} || {surfaceIsWater (getPos player)} || {_this select 1 == AR_animation && speed (vehicle player) <= 0}) exitWith { player removeEventHandler ["AnimDone", _thisEventHandler]; AR_active = false; AR_weapon = nil; AR_animation = nil; }; player playMoveNow AR_animation; }]; player playMoveNow AR_animation; }; }]; // Stop running (findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", { if (_this select 1 != (actionKeys 'User2') select 0) then { if (AR_active) then {AR_active = false}; }; }]; 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You need to run the code on every client anyway. The best place is in initPlayerLocal.sqf A dedicated server has no player. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
