scripted headquarters identity

[davidoss 550]

Allready fixed works like charm:

	private ["_side","_logicCenter","_logicGroup","_hqPapa"];
	//createLogic
	_side = [0,1,2] select ([EAST,WEST,INDEPENDENT] find GVAR_FSIDE);
	_logicCenter = createCenter sideLogic;
	_logicGroup = createGroup _logicCenter;
	_hqPapa = _logicGroup createUnit ["logic", [0,0,0], [], 0, "NONE"];

	_hqPapa setVehicleVarName "hq_logic_papa";
	hq_logic_papa = _hqPapa;
	publicVariable "hq_logic_papa";

	_hqPapa setVariable ["callsign","STR_A3_CfgHQIdentities_Base_0",false];
	_hqPapa setVariable ["side",_side,false];
	_hqPapa setVariable ["identity",1,false];
	_hqPapa setVariable ["callsigncustom","PAPA BEAR",false];

	[_hqPapa] call BIS_fnc_moduleHQ;

	_logicGroup = createGroup _logicCenter;
	_hqPapa = _logicGroup createUnit ["logic", [0,0,0], [], 0, "NONE"];

	_hqPapa setVehicleVarName "support_hqts";
	support_hqts = _hqPapa;
	publicVariable "support_hqts";

	_hqPapa setVariable ["callsign","STR_A3_CfgHQIdentities_Base_0",false];
	_hqPapa setVariable ["side",_side,false];
	_hqPapa setVariable ["identity",0,false];
	_hqPapa setVariable ["callsigncustom","SUPPORT HQ",false];

	[_hqPapa] call BIS_fnc_moduleHQ;

I think this might be just what i'm looking for but could you give an example of what it does? is this for changing HQ identities in side chat for example?

 

[west, "HQ"] sideChat "burp";

 

shows on screen as

 

"CROSSROAD: burp"

 

can this be used to change that?

 

cheers

If you are using the BIS module HQ then yes, in which case you'd have that game logic do the sideChat.

[davidoss 550]

Well, the whole idea was  to  not use any kind of editor objects.

 

There are correct way to use this in MP

 

	private ["_side","_logicCenter","_logicGroup","_hqPapa"];

	_side = [0,1,2] select ([EAST,WEST,INDEPENDENT] find GVAR_FSIDE);
	_logicCenter = createCenter sideLogic;
	_logicGroup = createGroup _logicCenter;
	_hqPapa = _logicGroup createUnit ["logic", [0,0,0], [], 0, "NONE"];

	_hqPapa setVehicleVarName "hq_logic_papa";
	hq_logic_papa = _hqPapa;
	publicVariable "hq_logic_papa";

	_hqPapa setVariable ["callsign","STR_A3_CfgHQIdentities_Base_0",true];
	_hqPapa setVariable ["side",_side,true];
	_hqPapa setVariable ["identity",1,true];
	_hqPapa setVariable ["callsigncustom","PAPA-BEAR",true];
	
	0 = [_hqPapa] remoteExec ["BIS_fnc_moduleHQ", 0, true];
	
	_logicGroup = createGroup _logicCenter;
	_hqPapa = _logicGroup createUnit ["logic", [0,0,0], [], 0, "NONE"];

	_hqPapa setVehicleVarName "support_hqts";
	support_hqts = _hqPapa;
	publicVariable "support_hqts";

	_hqPapa setVariable ["callsign","STR_A3_CfgHQIdentities_Base_0",true];
	_hqPapa setVariable ["side",_side,true];
	_hqPapa setVariable ["identity",0,true];
	_hqPapa setVariable ["callsigncustom","SUPPORT-HQ",true];

	0 = [_hqPapa] remoteExec ["BIS_fnc_moduleHQ", 0, true];

this will spawn  two modules in game with virtual headquarters identity

You can than refer to those  using its variables and use  for any kind of chats radio etc like this

 

0 = [hq_logic_papa, "hold_villiage"] remoteExec ["sideRadio", WEST, false];

0 = [support_hqts, "heli_unresponsive"] remoteExec ["sideRadio", side player, false];

I did not mean to imply that an editor logic was required, your script already handles that dynamically. Either way works.

[lordfrith 401]

this was just what i needed!

 

i made a wee function to set this up:

 

Spoiler

LF_fnc_HQmaker = {
//adapted from Davidoss forum post by Lordfrith
//[_side, _HQname, _custCall] call LF_fnc_HQmaker;
// _side: 1, 2 or 3 for east, west or independent. (possibly 4 for civs?)
//_HQname:  1,2or 3 for which HQ to create, more can be added as needed
//_HQcallsign: string, what the hq channel is called in chat. i.e. "Overlord"
        private ["_side","_HQname","_HQcallsign","_logicCenter","_logicGroup","_hqPapa"];

        _side = _this select 0;
        _HQname = _this select 1;
        _HQcallsign = _this select 2;
        
        _logicCenter = createCenter sideLogic;
        _logicGroup = createGroup _logicCenter;
        _hqPapa = _logicGroup createUnit ["logic", [0,0,0], [], 0, "NONE"];

        switch (_HQname) do {
                case 1: {_hqPapa setVehicleVarName "LFhomebase";
                            LFhomebase = _hqPapa;
                            publicVariable "LFhomebase";
                        };
                case 2: {_hqPapa setVehicleVarName "LFairSupt";
                            LFairSupt = _hqPapa;
                            publicVariable "LFairSupt";
                        };
                case 3: {_hqPapa setVehicleVarName "LFgroundSupt";
                            LFgroundSupt = _hqPapa;
                            publicVariable "LFgroundSupt";
                        };
        };
        

        _hqPapa setVariable ["callsign","STR_A3_CfgHQIdentities_Base_0",true];
        _hqPapa setVariable ["side",_side,true];
        _hqPapa setVariable ["identity",1,true];
        _hqPapa setVariable ["callsigncustom",_HQcallsign,true];
        
        0 = [_hqPapa] remoteExec ["BIS_fnc_moduleHQ", 0, true];

};

 

as you can see i couldn't figure out how to pass the global variable name to create the HQ to the function from its arguments so i went with a 'swich do'.

i never declared all me variables

[davidoss 550]

        params [["_side", sideUnknown, [sideUnknown]],["_HQname",0,[0]],["_HQcallsign","",[""]]];
        private ["_logicCenter","_logicGroup","_hqPapa"];

 

[lordfrith 401]

...hmm ok params, looks like i need to move on from the magic _this

 

wouldn't i still need the 'switch do' for '_HQname' in the function, my idea was that the variable name could be user entered in the function call like so...

Quote

[1, HQname, "callsign"] call LF_fnc_doesntWork;

 

but i ran into problems here:

 

Quote

 

    _hqPapa setVehicleVarName str _HQname;
    _HQname = _hqPapa;
    publicVariable str _HQname;

 

i'm sure theres a blindingly obvious reason why that doesn't work
