[Abandoned] [Release] Download Data (from End Game)

[HazJ 1289]

!!! THIS PROJECT HAS NOW BEEN ABANDONED !!!

!!! SUPPORT WILL BE LIMITED AND NO NEW VERSIONS WILL BE RELEASED FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE !!!

 

 

Hi all,

Thought I'd release this for anyone to use. I didn't create the display, I exported it from game files. I have included some code for the demo but just note that it isn't MP compatible by default (only shows + updates per client). The signal doesn't affect the download speed by default. Feel free to modify and improve, just credit me for the base code and Bohemia Interactive for the display.

Things you may need to change:

_object = dataTerminal; // variable name of object (REQUIRED)
_increment = 1; // how fast it increments

Very useful.  Thanks @HazJ!

[zagor64bz 1225]

Sweet!

How do I call the download start with an addAction or a trigger?

OBJECT addAction ["Download data", {("layer_rsc_downloadingData" call BIS_fnc_rscLayer) cutRsc ["rsc_downloadingData", "PLAIN", 0.01, false];}];

NICE!

Good work HazJ!

Niceeeee thanks

Hey is there a way to set a volume to the setObjectTexture that play's the intro.ogv. From what I noticed it play's pretty loud and you do not have to be close to the object in order to hear it.

I am not sure. I assume the video has the sound. You could separate it and then play the sound on top using say3D alternative syntax.

[Capt MacTavish 3]

@HazJ I believe it could of been the video but as for say a command to set the volume to a specific db, no luch yet. I have been trying to test say3D, playSound, playMusic to test it with attaching it to a vehicle addAction and that doesn't work for me either.

[HazJ 1289]

It is simple to test. Play the video (ogv) out of game using VLC Player (is what I use). If you hear sound then it is from the video. There is no command to affect sound in video files (that I know of). Can you please provide a video or upload your mission somewhere so I take a better look at the exact issue. @Capt MacTavish

How do I make a task succeeded after DL the data?

Thank you. 

[HazJ 1289]

Hello @zagor64bz - At the moment, just add after while loop. I will modify the function and make it return BOOL and other things so you can check when complete / progress percent. I have a few things planned also. No confirmed ETA, busy with RL work and other ArmA projects at the moment. My plan is to update these in following order:

- Respawn selection

- Notification system

- Download data

Okeyyyyy...could you give me an example? For example in something like this?

waitUntil {???};
	["TaskID", "SUCCEEDED",true] spawn BIS_fnc_taskSetState;

while {???} do {["Task03", "SUCCEEDED",true] spawn BIS_fnc_taskSetState;};

 

[HazJ 1289]

Sure.

("layer_rsc_downloadingData" call BIS_fnc_rscLayer) cutText ["", "PLAIN"];

After this, at the bottom of the whole code. You can put whatever code you want. In your case:

["TaskID", "SUCCEEDED",true] spawn BIS_fnc_taskSetState;

As you said. ^^

The code won't run until the while loop is complete. There is no need for waitUntil for this reason. However, it will exit the while loop (and the script file - at least it should) if you are X distance away (abort).

 

EDIT: I wouldn't usually recommend adding it in directly in case you re-use this in same mission with different task or say without task, etc but as said I am busy atm with other things.

I will try to update this at the weekend. @zagor64bz

Hey man REALLY thank you for the help. 

[HazJ 1289]

No problem. I tend to get bored of projects easily when there is lack of motivation and interest from others. The notification system which I released recently gave me a load of motivation as people seemed interested and gave some feature requests/ideas. If you (or anyone) have any feature requests for this project (or any other - in specific threads obviously) or anything let me know. As said, the more interest from people, the more motiviation and time I put into things.

[snakeplissken 96]

@Hajz, I'm sorry if you're too busy.

 

I wonder if you have how to make the command not run when the download is canceled when I move away from the object?

 

Because when I move away from the object the download the is cancel but the command at the end of the script will be executed.

 

I put the command below to execute, it is at the end of your script

 

Download_OK = true;
publicVariable "Download_OK";
Download_OK remoteExec ["true"];

 

(I did this for the variable "Download_OK" to activate a trigger in the other machines.)

 

When I move away from the object the download is canceled, but the command at the end of the script will still be executed.

 

I would like to know if you have the execute the command only when the download is completed, and when I move away from the object the download being canceled and the command will not be executed.

 

*I hope you have understood, because I use the google translator to communicate me here in the Forum.

[HazJ 1289]

Uhh. I assume your code is at the end, after:

("layer_rsc_downloadingData" call BIS_fnc_rscLayer) cutText ["", "PLAIN"];

Put it here as well:

	if (player distance2d getPosATL _object > 20) exitWith
	{
		("layer_rsc_downloadingData" call BIS_fnc_rscLayer) cutText ["", "PLAIN"];
		// your code...
	};

 

[snakeplissken 96]

Just warning, I decrease the signal distance, and also put all the sqf files inside a folder named "script".

 

This is what I have inside the file "fn_downloadData"

 

scriptName "script\fn_downloadData";

/*
	Code written by Haz
*/

#define __FILENAME "script\fn_downloadData.sqf"

if (isDedicated || !hasInterface) exitWith {};

disableSerialization;

_object = dataTerminal1;

_getSignal =
{
	_signal = switch (true) do
	{
		case (player distance2d getPosATL _object <= 5) :
		{
			"a3\Ui_f\data\IGUI\RscTitles\RscHvtPhase\JAC_A3_Signal_4_ca.paa"
		};
		case (player distance2d getPosATL _object > 5 && player distance2d getPosATL _object <= 6) :
		{
			"a3\Ui_f\data\IGUI\RscTitles\RscHvtPhase\JAC_A3_Signal_3_ca.paa"
		};
		case (player distance2d getPosATL _object > 6 && player distance2d getPosATL _object <= 9) :
		{
			"a3\Ui_f\data\IGUI\RscTitles\RscHvtPhase\JAC_A3_Signal_2_ca.paa"
		};
		case (player distance2d getPosATL _object > 9 && player distance2d getPosATL _object <= 13) :
		{
			"a3\Ui_f\data\IGUI\RscTitles\RscHvtPhase\JAC_A3_Signal_1_ca.paa"
		};
		case (player distance2d getPosATL _object > 13) :
		{
			""
		};
	};
	_signal
};

_display = uiNamespace getVariable "disp_downloadingData";

(_display displayCtrl 200) ctrlSetText "DOWNLOADING DATA...";

_downloaded = 0;
_increment = 2;

while {_downloaded < 100 && "layer_rsc_downloadingData" in allCutLayers} do
{
	_downloaded = _downloaded + _increment;
	(_display displayCtrl 300) ctrlSetText format ["%1", {alive _x && _x distance2d getPosATL _object <= 13} count allUnits];
	(_display displayCtrl 400) progressSetPosition (_downloaded / 100);
	(_display displayCtrl 500) ctrlSetText format ["%1%2 / 100%2", _downloaded, "%"];
	(_display displayCtrl 700) ctrlSetText format ["%1", call _getSignal];
	if (player distance2d getPosATL _object > 13) exitWith
	{
		("layer_rsc_downloadingData" call BIS_fnc_rscLayer) cutText ["", "PLAIN"];
          
		Download_OK = true;
		publicVariable "Download_OK";
		Download_OK remoteExec ["true"];
	};
  sleep 1;
	// hintSilent "still running";
};

("layer_rsc_downloadingData" call BIS_fnc_rscLayer) cutText ["", "PLAIN"];
// hintSilent "not running";

Download_OK = true;
publicVariable "Download_OK";
Download_OK remoteExec ["true"];
["Bingo!"] remoteExec ["hint", 0];

 

I had placed the command only at the end of your file, so after I also put it where you indicated it.

 

But the command continues to executed when I move away from the object and the signal drops.

[HazJ 1289]

What??? I don't understand what you are saying or what you are trying to do. What command?

 

EDIT: It shouldn't run again after the end or after the exitWith command, uncomment the hintSilent for debugging and see if that still shows.

[greenpeacekiller 14]

I think what he is trying to achieve here is have different commands excuted.

One for when the download is canceled because the player is out of range

and another for when the download is actually completed 100%

 

[HazJ 1289]

Oh.  Okay:

// code for when aborted goes in here...
if (player distance2d getPosATL _object > 13) exitWith
{

// code for when completed goes at end of file...

 

[greenpeacekiller 14]

I quickly tested that.

while {_downloaded < 100 && "layer_rsc_downloadingData" in allCutLayers} do
{
	_downloaded = _downloaded + _increment;
	(_display displayCtrl 300) ctrlSetText format ["%1", {alive _x && _x distance2d getPosATL _object <= 20} count allUnits];
	(_display displayCtrl 400) progressSetPosition (_downloaded / 100);
	(_display displayCtrl 500) ctrlSetText format ["%1%2 / 100%2", _downloaded, "%"];
	(_display displayCtrl 700) ctrlSetText format ["%1", call _getSignal];
	hint "cancel";
	if (player distance2d getPosATL _object > 20) exitWith
	{	
		("layer_rsc_downloadingData" call BIS_fnc_rscLayer) cutText ["", "PLAIN"];
	};
  sleep 1;
	// hintSilent "still running";
};

("layer_rsc_downloadingData" call BIS_fnc_rscLayer) cutText ["", "PLAIN"];
hint "Complete";

 

Maybe I am doing this wrong. But doing it like this wont work.

the hint cancel gets displayed when you start

Anything you put at the end will get excuted if you run out of range aswell as when its actually at 100%
