GF Dynamic Simulation script [solved]

[GEORGE FLOROS GR 4207]

Hello there to Everyone ,

 

 

i'm trying to create a dynamic Simulation scrpt , but to be honest , i don't know really  if the current is working or not !

I 'm not also sure about dynamicSimulationSystem generally , because i haven't seen this working on another script either !

 

 

My try below for everyone :

- deleted

any help will be much appreciated !

 

Thank you very much !!!

first add:

 

enableDynamicSimulationSystem true;

 

then add a line for the spawned groups ,

_Group enableDynamicSimulation true;

 

and also Demellion has add this :

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setDynamicSimulationDistance

 

[] spawn {
	while {true} do {
		
		if (cameraView isEqualTo "GUNNER") then {
			"Group" setDynamicSimulationDistance (viewDistance - (viewDistance * fog));	// Scoped 	
			
			
		} else {
		
			"Group" setDynamicSimulationDistance ((viewDistance * 0.8) - (viewDistance * fog));	// Not scoped 
		};
			
		uiSleep 0.25; 
	};
};

Bellow a simple full example :

 

_Pos = [] call BIS_fnc_randomPos;
_Group = createGroup east;

for "_x" from 0 to (2 + random 10) do {

_Unit = _Group createunit [selectrandom "O_G_Soldier_F",_Pos,[],0,"None"];
[_Unit] JoinSilent _Group;
(leader _Group) setSkill 0.75 + random 0.25;
_Unit setSkill 0.50 + random 0.50;
};

[_Group,_Pos,250 + random 150] call BIS_fnc_taskPatrol;
_Group enableDynamicSimulation true;

hideObjectGlobal can only be run from server, not on client https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/hideObjectGlobal

[GEORGE FLOROS GR 4207]

Thank you very much dave_beastttt for the info !

[GEORGE FLOROS GR 4207]

I 'm starting thinking as reading , that i may have messed , what it is about the :

 

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/enableSimulation

and the

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/enableDynamicSimulationSystem

 

What i would like to do :

 

is to create a freeze script , in a certain distance for units and once freezed then to hide them as well and the same about the objects .

 

Thanks !

 

- I will add this in a quote up.

I havent looked to much at enablesimulation or enabledynamicsimulation.  I think you may want some way to filter things. Maybe filter it by side. If you are playing bluefor and finish a task(s).  Then call for an evac helo  and it is over 2000 meters away. Will the helo be able to "wake up" or will it stay dormant and hidden. Same with any type of support on the map.  If the support is greater than the distance. Maybe a variable to exclude certain units. I maybe wrong in my assumption , I am just not that familiar with those BIS commands 

 

Edit:

Thought of one other thing. If a unit is mission specific and has commands in its init or is used in a .sqf. Will enabling  or disabling it mess up the scripting for said unit.

[GEORGE FLOROS GR 4207]

Thanks nomadd !

 

Generally , it's all about performance , when spawning large numbers of units and items.

 

I have thought so far some alternatives for this code , so i need to test some stuff !

By the way any similar script available out there ?!

[gaverio 100]

If I'm understanding this correctly:

If not, disregard.

[GEORGE FLOROS GR 4207]

Thank you very much gaverio !

 

I have already see this , played and check as well , from the old time that came out , but generally i'm trying for something easier and different , plus the ai are not freezing actually in this script ( as i have understand so far , only hide )

 

Thanks again though!!

Looking forward to try it, thanks. I think it help a lot with fps boost 🙂

Thanks batton but , this is not a complete script and also it is what i tried so far and just wanted to share my thoughts with everyone.

 

I don't know and haven't understand either if the code posted above is working !

 

I have read more know and i have think a little bit on how to , so once i 'll have time i check about this !

[baton1990 30]

Ok, thanks.

Hola george, I can send you my solution. It allows you to add dynamic simulation to structures and groups, and calculates the distance setting based on your view distance setting - fog level + scoped weapon view. 

Maybe you find bits and pieces that are helpful for you too:) 

Ps: i use it for vandeanson's apocalypse mod, to save fps, makes quite a difference!

Basically , i didn't know , because i never actually use the editor

Thanks anyway everyone !

[GEORGE FLOROS GR 4207]

# I will though try to create a script about.

 

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Dynamic_Simulation#Advanced_settings_-_wake-up_ability

[GEORGE FLOROS GR 4207]

So by reading it ,

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/enableDynamicSimulationSystem

 

all there was is to add a line for the spawned groups ,

_Group enableDynamicSimulation true;

 

and also Demellion has add this :

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setDynamicSimulationDistance

 

[] spawn {
	while {true} do {
		
		if (cameraView isEqualTo "GUNNER") then {
			"Group" setDynamicSimulationDistance (viewDistance - (viewDistance * fog));	// Scoped 	
			
			
		} else {
		
			"Group" setDynamicSimulationDistance ((viewDistance * 0.8) - (viewDistance * fog));	// Not scoped 
		};
			
		uiSleep 0.25; 
	};
};

so Thats all !

When would and should and how is this to be used?

Have you found any benefit in real time, better fps, etc?

 

Thanks

Hello there Jnr4817 !

 

In the video you can see what Dynamic Simulation is about :

Dynamic Simulation 2593 Units 2018-09-12 ArmA 3



 

 

and you can add it from the editor or else if you spawn your units with a script , to follow the examples above .

 

There is a great difference with the FPS.

DynamicSimulation gives you all the details and how to profile performance with the built in diagnostic tools.

when i started the topic , I was hoping on set Dynamic Simulation dynamic , but as i noticed , it's not possible to do this with a "spawn while true code".

[GEORGE FLOROS GR 4207]

Or am i missing something ?!

[GEORGE FLOROS GR 4207]

So this is what i really wanted to achieve when i opened the thread :

this will hide everything far from player.

 

Can you test this and tell me , because my laptop is too slow in order to understand if is better or not.

#it might be too much objects to handle , but still if it's fine then you might filter something.
