sabot10.5mm 47 Posted July 27, 2019 this script relieves all playable units, saves them to a variable and sorts by faction (cfgfactionclass >>displayName). my question is about navigating configfiles, most notably navigating and filtering configs. example say you want to filter out all of the unwanted "man" units like "range master", and "survivor" est. is there a more logical approach to this instead of saying is _unit in [array]? also saving units to variables to be used later. my approach looks weird anybody with the knowhow to guide me in the right direction _cfg = "getnumber( _x >> 'scope' ) isEqualTo 2" configClasses (configFile >> "Cfgvehicles"); for "_i" from 0 to ((count _cfg)-1) do { if (isClass ((_cfg select _i) )) then { _cfgNam = configName (_cfg select _i); _getside = getnumber (configfile >> "Cfgvehicles" >> _cfgNam>> "side"); _getfaction = gettext (configfile >> "Cfgvehicles" >> _cfgNam >> "faction"); _getfac = gettext (configfile >> "cfgfactionclasses" >> _getfaction>> "displayName"); _getSolClas = gettext (configfile >> "Cfgvehicles" >> _cfgNam>> "displayName"); _getvehcat = gettext (configfile >> "Cfgvehicles" >> _cfgNam>> "editorSubcategory"); hint str _getvehcat; if !(_getSolClas in ["Crewman","Officer","Competitor","Pilot","Helicopter Crew","UAV Operator","Survivor","Rifleman (Unarmed)","Assault Diver","Diver Team Leader","Diver Explosive Specialist"]) then { switch _getvehcat do { case ("EdSubcat_Personnel"): {call compile format["missionNamespace setvariable ['man_%1', (missionNamespace getVariable ['man_%1',[]]) + [_cfgNam]];", toupper _getfac];}; case ("EdSubcat_Cars"): {call compile format["missionNamespace setvariable ['car_%1', (missionNamespace getVariable ['car_%1',[]]) + [_cfgNam]];", toupper _getfac];}; case ("EdSubcat_APCs"): {call compile format["missionNamespace setvariable ['apc_%1', (missionNamespace getVariable ['apc_%1',[]]) + [_cfgNam]];", toupper _getfac];}; case ("EdSubcat_Tanks"): {call compile format["missionNamespace setvariable ['tank_%1', (missionNamespace getVariable ['tank_%1',[]]) + [_cfgNam]];", toupper _getfac];};}; }; };}; missionNamespace getVariable "man_NATO"; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrcurry 470 Posted July 28, 2019 Well unfortunately the engine has no way to interpret what you think is "unwanted" unless you tell it how to do that... 😛 You just got to figure out if your unwanted classes got something in common that no other classes has and use that. P.S. It's easier to just filter the config names against an blacklist after you gathered the classes tbh. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy Old Man 3540 Posted July 28, 2019 You could merge all unit arrays from CfgGroup for every side and check against that, story and odd units usually aren't used in group templates. But in the end only a single blacklist will be 100% reliable. Cheers 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sabot10.5mm 47 Posted July 31, 2019 looking at the cfg files for helicopter show no reference to the weapons they carry, how can i find them? i want to filter transport helicopters and attack helis, but i see no nothing that could help in that way. anyone know where those weapons are stated (cannon,missles,rockets)?

They will be defined under the turret the weapons belong to. There are scripting commands to do this but seeing as we are talking about navigating the config, you will need to loop through all turrets of the vehicle looking at each turrets weapons array. Removed see later post. On 7/31/2019 at 11:47 PM, sabot10.5mm said: i want to filter transport helicopters See transportSoldier. Plus you may also want to consider things like HummingBirds benches, which are turrets that have proxyType = "CPCargo". TAG_fnc_getVehicleTransport = { params[ "_vehicle" ]; _baseCfg = configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> typeOf _vehicle; _numTransport = 0; _fnc_turrets = { params[ "_cfg" ]; _numTransport = _numTransport + getNumber( _cfg >> "transportSoldier" ); if ( getText( _cfg >> "proxyType" ) == "CPCargo" ) then { _numTransport = _numTransport + 1; }; { _x call _fnc_turrets; }forEach ( "true" configClasses( _cfg >> "turrets" )); }; _baseCfg call _fnc_turrets; _numTransport }; ( get3DENSelected "object" select 0 ) call TAG_fnc_getVehicleTransport; Both are examples that can be run from the debugConsole in Eden and will return values based on the current selected vehicle.

da12thMonkey 1943 Posted August 2, 2019 Planes, helicopters etc. generally don't use the weapons[] array any more for missiles and bombs - only for the gun turrets, laser designators and countermeasures. Apart from a couple of exceptions, missiles and bombs have been handled by the Dynamic Loadouts system since the Jets DLC was released. This is configured for each vehicle under class Components>>class TransportPylonsComponent>>class pylons where each pylon has an attachment = parameter that defines the default magazine class loaded on to that pylon. But it's easier to use the getPylonMagazines command on the aircraft rather than dicking around in the configs. The weapon/launcher for that magazine is assigned by the pylonWeapon parameter in the magazine classname. To change the munitions assigned to the vehicle's pylons, you use the setPylonLoadout command and use a magazine name - it will automatically add the assigned pylonWeapon to the vehicle when the magazine is added to the pylon this way so you don't need to do separate addWeapon+addMagazine commands for these. So I guess if getPylonMagazines returns nothing for a vehicle, it is probably not armed with anything more than a few gun turrets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Downside is you'd need to spawn the vehicle for this command to work. Doable but not really necessary if you can retrieve this from config. Maybe spawning using preInit/postInit will work in this case. Can't really recommend it though. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose checking if any subclasses in class Components>>class TransportPylonsComponent>>class pylons even exist for that vehicle (or class TransportPylonsComponent alone exists for that vehicle) would do the job. Obviously there are no pylonMagazines for vehicle that have no pylons configured anyway😄 2 minutes ago, sabot10.5mm said: ah99 has weapons listed in the non dynamicloadout baseclass The non-dynamic loadouts version of vehicles, are all-but obsolete. They're mostly just there for backwards compatibility with older missions from before the Jets DLC - there are a couple of other redundant vehicle classes in the game too. BI doesn't recommend using them as assets in current missions. The ones that are accessible through the editor and Zeus, generally will have empty weapons arrays save for the guns and CM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
