hideObjectGlobal array syntax

[anfo 118]

Hi

 

May I request the syntax to show and hide multiple objects (array) using hideObjectGlobal please?

[sarogahtyp 1105]

{
 _x hideObjectGlobal _state;
}count _yourArray;

setting state true will hide all objects in _yourArray. setting it to false will show em.

So in real world terms, something like this?

{
 _x hideObjectGlobal true;
}count (object_1, object_2);

no, more like this:

{
 _x hideObjectGlobal true;
}count [object_1, object_2];

Oh, sorry of course. Thank you!

Sorry @sarogahtyp, it didn't seem to work. I place the code into init.sqf, and even tried _x hideObject true;

Here's my code. Likely I've messed up:

{
_x hideObjectGlobal true;
}count [bag_1, bag_2, bag_3, bag_4, bag_5, bag_6, bag_7, bag_8, bag_9, bag_10, bag_11, bag_12, bag_13, bag_14, bag_15, bag_16, bag_17, bag_18, bag_19, bag_20, bag_21, bag_22, bag_23, bag_24, zu3_3, zu3_8, zu3_7, zu3_6, zu3_5, zu3_4];

Not that I can see. But I did a simple vanilla test and your code surely works. Some trial and error testing required it appears.

 

edit: some other offender in init.sqf causing it to fail. Not sure what. Anyway, working as long as code at the tippy-top of init.sqf 😊

Do not execute Global commands (such as hideObjectGlobal) on all clients. The init.sqf is execute by all players, (dedicated) server, headless client(s0, etc. When you use the global version of an engine command the information is communicated over the network to each connected entity by each connected entity. Causing a lot of network traffic.

 

In case of hideObjectGlobal it can only be executed by the server. So you need to move the code from your init.sqf to the iniServer.sqf file in you mission root. If you do not have a initServer.sqf in your mission root then simply create one.

Alternatively you can let the server execute the code in your init.sqf:

if isServer then { };

Your code would then look something like:

if isServer then {
	{
		_x hideObjectGlobal true;
	} count [bag_1, bag_2, bag_3, bag_4, bag_5, bag_6, bag_7, bag_8, bag_9, bag_10, bag_11, bag_12, bag_13, bag_14, bag_15, bag_16, bag_17, bag_18, bag_19, bag_20, bag_21, bag_22, bag_23, bag_24, zu3_3, zu3_8, zu3_7, zu3_6, zu3_5, zu3_4];
};
