Dynamically spawned zeus modules: everything works but editing. Help?

[Ryko 18]

Hi folks,

 

I'm trying to get away from editor-placed zeus modules, and I've got everything working except editing units.  With the following code, a connected player is assigned a curator module that's dynamically created, and can create/delete/move/issue waypoints to spawned units: but double-clicking on the unit does not produce the editing dialog.  What am I missing?

curatorGroup = createGroup sideLogic;

addMissionEventHandler ["PlayerConnected", {
	params ["_id", "_uid", "_name", "_jip", "_owner"];
	
	_player = (allPlayers select {owner _x == _owner}) select 0;
	
	private _curatorModule = curatorGroup createunit ["ModuleCurator_F", [0, 90, 90], [], 0.5, "NONE"];
	_player assignCurator _curatorModule;
	_player setVariable ['curatorModule', _curatorModule];
}];

(My code is a bit more elaborate than this, but this stripped-down version produces the same results.)

 

Thanks,

Ryko

following up: I think I've gotten around it by adding code from the fn_moduleCurator.sqf function in the curator addon:

_curatorModule addeventhandler ["curatorObjectDoubleClicked",{(_this select 1) call bis_fnc_showCuratorAttributes;}];
_curatorModule addeventhandler ["curatorGroupDoubleClicked",{(_this select 1) call bis_fnc_showCuratorAttributes;}];
_curatorModule addeventhandler ["curatorWaypointDoubleClicked",{(_this select 1) call bis_fnc_showCuratorAttributes;}];
_curatorModule addeventhandler ["curatorMarkerDoubleClicked",{(_this select 1) call bis_fnc_showCuratorAttributes;}];

Though strictly speaking, I don't think this should be necessary.

 

Edit: works in local multiplayer, but doesn't on dedicated server.

I believe, at least I do it, you need to add the object to the curator using addCuratorEditableObjects for each unit/object.

Basically you should add variables to module object as module settings and than spawn a function like normal modules  created in editor doing during initialisation process

Thanks for the responses. As stated, everything works (moving, adding, deleting, assigning waypoints) but double clicking does not produce the edit dialog.

Curator modules to initialise properly, especially when setting allowed addons, need to be created before time > 0.

It would be best to create as many curators as needed (playableSlotsNumber ?) in a preInit function.

When a clients connects request to be assigned to a curator by the server. When the client disconnects un-assign the curator.

Thanks, Larrow.

 

Adding the following allowed edit functionality to work properly:

 

_curatorModule setVariable ["owner", str _owner, true];
_curatorModule setVariable ["curatorUnitOwner", str _owner];
