With all of the #debug stuff in, does this mean BIS is expecting feedback so that they can "improve" stuff?  Release another version I mean?  NOTE: releasing a patch 2.0 will not constitute as being OFP2!

Whole thing...

Sidelogic?

How comes this is so big? Same size as the previous one and has half the features.

Still, nice patch guys.

Gameer

[dinger 1]

yeah, half the features and a quarter the time.

Yeah, createvehicle, now we can do artillery shells right.

Yes, I'm very glad they got around to that. Multiplayer artillery should be 10x easier to do now. Great.

isEngineOn and engineOn also has many good uses...

WHOHOOOOOOO! Are these guys awesome OR WHAT!!!

[Doolittle 0]

So like GAMEER_77, what's sideLogic?  I dunno if they will release a new comref since there would only be like 4 new entries.

Doolittle

[Balschoiw 0]

I only can guess, but as GameLogics are created empty maybe this command allows to assign a side to game logic.

[Doolittle 0]

Was anyone ever able to figure out what sideLogic was??  (Wow I can't believe I asked that question above almost a year ago!)

Doolittle

[Gameer 0]

Lol, time sure flies

I don't know, but it seems not to take any parameters and always returns "LOGIC"...

Odd

Gameer

[bn880 5]

It is a side type, all gamelogics are placed on the sidelogic side, you can have 64 groups to that side also.

sidelogic returns "LOGIC" just the same as resistance returns "GUER"

You have:

east, west, resistance, civilian, and sidelogic

[Gameer 0]

Ah, makes sense now I think about it

I guess the most obvious solution is right...

Gameer

[bn880 5]

Now tell my what 'friendly' does. Someone must know, it seems so simple.

[Doolittle 0]

Woah, so I can join AI to gameLogic groups?! Who are they enemies to?

Doolittle

[bn880 5]

Nobody I think.

[Chris Death 0]

hmm - player countFriendly array

returned me all friendly units, known by me

Scenario: 3 resistance guys + 7 west guys

triggera

anybody present (all those guys from above inside the

trigger area)

hint format ["%1",player countFriendly list triggera]

returned me a value of 10

:note - the unit who has to count the friendlies,

adds himself to the result too

(if it's that what you meant bn880)

P.S:

I tried to get the side result of one single gamelogic and

another gl grouped to a west guy - no way: the game

has frozen up everytime, i tried to start it with a grouped

gamelogic to another side.

~S~ CD

So they released functions more than a year ago....and just today...no more than five minutes ago, I wrote this line:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">"_p = call format [""%1"", _x]; if (side _p == west) then {_p setPos ([_p, westmpf, _s] call _relpos)}" forEach playerList

I had NO idea you could do crazy stuff like that.  Talk about hard to understand when you go back & re-read your code.

Doolittle

[suma 8]

What is call and format used here for? To add some obscurity?

Following code would do the same, I think:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">"_p = _x; if (side _p == west) then {_p setPos ([_p, westmpf, _s] call _relpos)}" forEach playerList

Or, even simpler:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">{if (side _x == west) then {_x setPos ([_x, westmpf, _s] call _relpos)}} forEach playerList

[Doolittle 0]

My playerList is just strings....["w1", "w2"...] which is the name of the clients.  This way I can keep track of their "object" even if they are dying & respawning (they retain their name).

So in the above line I am moving all players who are west to the position at _s relative to their distance from the westmpf vehicle...

It's for a secret project I'm working on. (Conquer the Base)

Doolittle

[suma 8]

OK - what about following code, then? <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">{_p = call _x; if (side _p == west) then {_p setPos ([_p, westmpf, _s] call _relpos)}} forEach playerList

Format ["%1", _x] seems really not necessary, as it is merely copying the string.

[crashdome 2]

Gamelogic side is no good for anything other than logics.

I believe it has something to do with the class entries (or at least the classes themselves).

my guess is that it has something to do with the fact logics dont take damage and dont have a shape.

There was another thread on it.... somewhere.....

All-in-all logics on logic side only...

Although I did find that logics can carry weapons it seems.

hmm - player countFriendly array

returned me all friendly units, known by me

Scenario: 3 resistance guys + 7 west guys

triggera

anybody present (all those guys from above inside the

trigger area)

hint format ["%1",player countFriendly list triggera]

(if it's that what you meant bn880)

Nope that's not what I meant, there is a "friendly" keyword in OFP, I am unsure as to what it does. However it does not matter so much.

Quote[/b] ]friendly

Compatibility:

Version 1.78 required.

Type of returned value:

Side

Description:

Friendly side (friendly to all units).

Friendly side to all units, hehhe, so what?

EDIT: And I believe I have had units on gamelogic side, they seemed to function. Anyway, not important as you should not be using that for AI unless it is a temporary hack. (hmm, actually perhaps I recall wrong, they did not listen to orders..)

[crashdome 2]

I believe.. and I emphasize how much I am guessing on this.. but

Friendly and Enemy are used as comparisons for sides.

for example the countEnemy and countFriendly commands probably use those internally to return the respective units.

I can't test right now, but you might want to try this:

Unit1 = East soldier

Unit2 = West soldier

Unit3 = Res soldier (set Res to friendly with everyone)

make each unit run this script:

e.g. [unit1] exec checkFriendly.sqs

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">private ["_unit","_allunits"]

_allunits = [Unit1,Unit2,Unit3]

_unit = _this select 0

{_unit sidechat format["%1 is friendly? : %2",_x,(side _x == friendly)]} foreach _allunits

exit

and see what happens...

Perhaps for a moment... you're lucky it didn't crash on you. It froze my machine every dang time!

You're right Suma! Thanks!

[Doolittle 0]

DUDE!!

I just found out you can do this too:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">player sideChat format ["%1", if (side _p == west) then {west} else {east}]

I was waiting for something like that!!  Something like

sprintf ("%s", side _p == west ? "west" : "east")

Woo hoo!
