How do I get a _local variable inside a remoteExec array.

[cb65 86]

Hi everyone,

 

I need some help getting a local variable inside the array of this remoteExec code.

 

This code works perfectly.

[_camScreen, ["<t color='#e5b348'>Normal View</t>",{[0,"renderscreen"] call fnc_render_camera},[],-1,true,true,"",(format ["((vehicle player) distance (position %1) <= 4)",_camScreen])]] remoteExec ["addAction",0];

But this code does not work.

_camRender = "renderscreen";

[_camScreen, ["<t color='#e5b348'>Normal View</t>",{[0,_camRender] call fnc_render_camera},[],-1,true,true,"",(format ["((vehicle player) distance (position %1) <= 4)",_camScreen])]] remoteExec ["addAction",0];

I was able to work out how to get the variable _camScreen in using the format code, but I tried to do the same with the _camRender variable and couldn't get it to work.

 

How do I get the local _camRender variable into the [?] call fnc_render_camera array part of the remoteExec code shown above?

 

Hope this makes any sense.

 

Cheers.

you kinda cant use local variables for this as far as i know, but you can use set/get variable since the variable will be stored on your camScreen object like so

_camScreen setVariable ["camRender", "renderscreen", true];

[_camScreen, ["<t color='#e5b348'>Normal View</t>",
{
	_camRender = (_this select 0) getVariable "camRender";
	[0,_camRender] call fnc_render_camera;
},[],-1,true,true,"","_this distance _target <= 4"]] remoteExec ["addAction",0];

also an easier way to get the distance between a player and the object for the addaction is by doing this

_this distance _target <= 4

instead of

(format ["((vehicle player) distance (position %1) <= 4)

 

_this is the object the action is applied to, _target is the player

There is also the radius parameter for addAction now. Since 1.63 version.

Quote

radius:

Number - (Optional, default 50) 3D distance in meters the unit activating the action must be within to activate it. -1 disables this radius
