BIS_fnc_dynamicText (Script-help)

[Alert23 215]

hi everyone, hope your fine.

 

i have a script which shows me how much Hostiles Remaining:

shown on screen with HintSilent

[] spawn { while {alive player} do {  
  	_totalEnemy = {alive _x && side _x == resistance} count allUnits;   
    
 	if (_totalEnemy > 1) then {   
  	Hintsilent format ["Hostiles Remaining: %1", _totalEnemy ]; 
  		};  
 	};   
};

however my question is, is it possible using BIS_fnc_dynamicText in the script above instead HintSilent ?

i find BIS_fnc_dynamicText looks way better.

Sure, follow the parameters described in your first link but don't spawn the code on each loop, and choose carefully the duration...

So ease your loop! I mean there is no need to "refresh" such info on each frame (especially spawning this function with its duration).

So, add something "waiting" for any different count, like:
 

[] spawn { while {alive player} do {
  _totalEnemy = {alive _x && side _x == resistance} count allUnits;
   waitUntil {uiSleep 1; ({alive _x && side _x == resistance} count allUnits) != _totalEnemy};
  [format ["Hostiles Remaining: %1", _totalEnemy ],-1,-1,3,1,0,789] spawn BIS_fnc_dynamicText;
  uiSleep 1;
}};

 

Now if you need a permanent display, like in wasteland, alive or else, you need to write a display. More difficult.

I prefer BIS_fnc_EXP_camp_SITREP.

WoW ! Amazing that this is even possible, THANKS.

Edit:

so the code will only update/shown if the totalEnemy number decreases?
