dlegion 98 Posted July 12, 2018 thanksssssssss! following your example i translated the other action into this: [_this, ["<t color='#67DF0C'>SAVE Loadout</t>",{[player, [missionNamespace, "inventory_var"]] call BIS_fnc_saveInventory;hintSilent "Loadout saved";}]] remoteExec ["addAction",0,true]; and it works! i still have a problem with a different code, probably its something i still cant insert into my brain....how translate this? [OBJECT, -1,nil, "LIGHT"] execVM "R3F_LOG\USER_FUNCT\init_creation_factory.sqf"; i keep reading the Biki, but really cant get it to work! really thanks man ! ============= E D I T ====================================== i found it! [[_this, -1,nil, "LIGHT"],"R3F_LOG\USER_FUNCT\init_creation_factory.sqf"] remoteExec ["execVM",0,true]; this works !! finally! really thanks for helping me !! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're trying to pass code as parameters, which isn't supported. You can define your code as a function, and pass the function instead: //init.sqf or wherever TAG_fnc_updateMarker = { params ["_unit","_markerName"]; while {alive _unit} do { _markerName setmarkerpos getpos _unit; sleep 11; }; }; //proper remoteExec usage: [YourHostageName,"YourMarkerName"] remoteExec ["TAG_fnc_updateMarker",0,true]; Cheers 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dlegion 98 Posted July 12, 2018 ahh, now it starts to get clearer... so...my hostage gets spawned by server script, it has a server-script-local name "_H1", i can use it or i have to make it global, considering the function to update marker will have to run on clients? as always...a huge thanks ! ======= EDIT=========== oh....for god sake, thanks, thanks and THANKS! it works!

Just use _H1 then, should work anyway. 40 minutes ago, dlegion said: hem....just tested on dedicated....marker dont move what i did wrong? in editor MP preview the code works... It's best to call and spawn marker related stuff from initPlayerLocal.sqf to make sure it runs on every connected player, should work in SP, MP and dedicated. Alternatively you can draw stuff on the map like this: //initPlayerLocal.sqf GOM_fnc_drawUnit = { _eh = ((findDisplay 12) displayCtrl 51) ctrlAddEventHandler ["Draw", ' { _scale = 0.2; _lastname = ""; _color = [1,1,1,1]; _text = format [''Unit %1'',(missionNamespace getVariable [''GOM_fnc_unitsToDraw'',[]] find _x) +1]; _align = "right"; _fontsize = 0.04; _drawicon = ""; _drawicon = configFile/"CfgVehicles"/typeOf _x/"Icon"; (_this select 0) drawIcon [getText (_drawicon), _color, getPosVisual _x, 0.5/ctrlMapScale (_this select 0), 0.5/ctrlMapScale (_this select 0), getDirVisual _x, _text, 1, _fontsize, "TahomaB", _align]; } foreach (missionNamespace getVariable ["GOM_fnc_unitsToDraw",[]])']; }; [] call GOM_fnc_drawUnit; //init.sqf or whenever you've spawned hostages in: missionNamespace setVariable ["GOM_fnc_unitsToDraw",[Hostage1,Hostage2],true]; //add another hostage to the drawing function: _toDraw = missionNamespace getVariable ["GOM_fnc_unitsToDraw",[]]; _toDraw pushBack _myNewHostage; missionNamespace setVariable ["GOM_fnc_unitsToDraw",_toDraw,true]; If you don't want anything drawn simply use this: missionNamespace setVariable ["GOM_fnc_unitsToDraw",[],true]; If you spawn in units that should be drawn simply add them to that array like shown above. Advantage of this is that the display of units is extremely fluid. Pretty basic, really. Cheers 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pierremgi 4875 Posted July 15, 2018 It's useless to create a function for remote executing setMarkerPos which is an EG command. if _unit is defined on server only, running this command on server will have the expected result on clients also. You persist to write: {uiSleep 0.1;if !(isNil {_x getVariable "FARdelete"}) then {if ([(getPos _x), _x getVariable "FARdelete"] call ALLfar) then {deleteVehicle _x;}}} foreach allUnits; Say, you have 200 units (very easy to obtain, as far as allUnits is for all sides). Your line takes at least 20 sec to be completed, no matter what the result of your condition inside. Not seen your allFar function. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dlegion 98 Posted July 15, 2018 sorry Pierre, i forgot that function :) if (isServer) then { uiSleep 1; params ["_pos", "_limit"]; // Read the parameters sent to the function into these variables. // First assume that the position is far from all players. _farFromAll = true; // Loop through all players in a forEach loop. { // If the distance from the position to the player is less than the distance limit, then the position is not far from all if (_pos distance2D _x < _limit) then { _farFromAll = false; }; } forEach playableUnits; // was: forEach call BIS_fnc_listPlayers; // Return the value in _farFromAll (do not write a semicolon after a return value) _pos = nil; _limit = nil; _farFromAll }; about the UiSleep ...well main reason i still use it is that there's no hurry at all...this units are spawned far away, and randomly, so no matter if it spawn now, in 20 secs or in minutes....the important part is only spawn them :) thanks for pointing it out anyway, and for your review, i appreciate it ! this week will test it as much as i can....you are all welcome, server name DWAR, after some vanilla tests, i will probably run it with some mods like ACE3, CUP and RHS to test how it do with them! thanks again!

dlegion 98 Posted July 17, 2018 i've taken an empty Altis map, placed exactly the same number of AI present in my mission, (same side, same type too), made all them immortal (so they keep doing theyr things), and spectate it...the FPS are comparable....lets say +8 fps average difference. So, the mission runs around 30 fps for clients in average condition, quite stable 45+ fps for server, seems mainly due to AI numbers. is there any way to make the AI "lighter" on performance ? any dedicated server setting suggested for a 100Mb down and 20Mb up connection ? thanks!!

Personally, I don't like it because it's non revertible . When AIs are spawned, they stay spawned. Half work, imho. - Use the module objects modifier / "simulation manager". Works fine to spawn / despawn units (do not name them. If named, they are blacklisted). Very simple to use and efficient. - Use headless client (HC) if you can. Not very easy to manage. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dlegion 98 Posted July 17, 2018 thanks Pierre! well about this: 2 hours ago, pierremgi said: - Use the dynamic simulation... Personally, I don't like it because it's non revertible .

If named, they are blacklisted). Very simple to use and efficient. i tried to code the bubble system for this specific reason, as you say they did half work (at best). Same for the many limitations of simulation manager. about HC, in fact i did some experiments some time ago...but never menaged to get good results... my actual situation is this: i have a server (full machine), so will it be useful run also HC on it, or HC is useful only if run on other computer? thanks!

pierremgi 4875 Posted July 18, 2018 Well... HC is supposed to make AIs calculations on a remote computer, then decreasing CPU load of the server. What about 2 Arma sessions on the same computer with server for one and HC for the other? Playing with CPU cores? I don't know.

dlegion 98 Posted July 19, 2018 at today date, the only problem happened in the test is a respawn bug, in 2 different occasions, to a player appeared a respawn on other players (instead of MHQ vehicle or main HQ), i did some research on forums, but found nothing useful...any idea what can be ? thanks!

dlegion 98 Posted July 25, 2018 hello, i keep testing, and found a quite relevant problem... the mission is supposed to run 24h , then server machine will reboot and start it again...so the target is run 24h with no problems. I noticed today, around 17:00 (it reboots at 07:00, so after 10 hours of server running), joining the server, that there was a huge performance drop for the client, lets say in the same situation and place where it was running for the client at 52 FPS, now was running at 17-19 FPS ! the cleaning system worked, there was no dead or wrecks, no groundWeaponHolders, nothing strange at all. server itself was still running at 47-48 fps, that is like after a fresh start. just the client was having this problems! i tried disconnect, reboot my client PC, and rejoin, same situation. so its something on server slowing down the client! but what can be? any idea? i'm really disappointed by this problem! thanks for any help !

dlegion 98 Posted July 30, 2018 pheraps i found where the problem lies, after 10+ hours i run this code serverside on dedicated: _Dn = count allgroups; str (_Dn) + " GROUPS!" remoteExecCall ["hint"]; ...and found that there were 140 groups....while on map there were clearly no more than 40 groups. i suspect client/server are not sync on groups, or they are not deleted for real (but cant find any trace except that count), any idea on this ?

pierremgi 4875 Posted July 31, 2018 did you use the group deletion when empty in editor (for edited groups) and deleteGroup in a loop for spawned ones? 0 = [] spawn {while {true} do { {deleteGroup _x } forEach (allGroups select {(count units _x) isEqualTo 0}); sleep 10; }}; 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dlegion 98 Posted July 31, 2018 Hem no...maybe thats the problem ! I was just using "deleteGroupWhenEmpty" on the spawners...but clearly was not enough on the long run...
