issue with displayAddEventHandler & displayRemoveAllEventHandlers - EH presists through SP mission restart

[Vandeanson 1676]

Hi all,

 

I encountered a problem with "displayAddEventHandler"  (dAEH )and "displayRemoveAllEventHandlers".

In below spoiler, I add a dAEH to the player.

When I press Shift+F, the variable VA_MenueOpen is set to true, which is a condition to show some Holdactions.

Spoiler

//initplayerlocal.sqf

waituntil {!isnull (finddisplay 46)};

VA_BandAnimadda = findDisplay 46 displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown",


{params ["_displayorcontrol", "_key", "_shift", "_ctrl", "_alt"];

  if ((_this select 1) == 0x21 && (_this select 2))
  then
  {systemchat "button pressed";
    if (!(player getvariable ['VA_MenueOpen',false]))
      then
      {player setvariable ["VA_MenueOpen",true,true];}
      else
      {player setvariable ["VA_MenueOpen",false,true];};
  }
}
];

 

 

So pressing Shift+F will either "open" or "close" the addactions that have this condition.

The dAEH returns 2 at this stage, btw.

 

so far so good. The problem is, that when I restart the SP mission with below code something gets messed up and I don't understand what is happening.

The dAEH returns 5 after restart.

When I press Shift + F, the EH gets triggered twice, hence the dAEH from before the restart is still there.

 

- > So my question is, why does the dAEH persist through a restart? It seems that I have a basic missunderstanding how "displayAddEventHandler" works.

->  And how could I avoid that this happens? How can I remove that specific dAEH?

 

(findDisplay 46) displayRemoveEventHandler ["KeyDown", VA_BandAnimadda]; in line 1 of initlocal.sqf returns an error as VA_BandAnimadda is unknown.

I used (findDisplay 46) displayRemoveAllEventHandlers "KeyDown"; in the initplayerlocal.sqf, line 1, but that obviously interferes with other mods.

 

Reading the below, i understand that I tried the scripted command version of the application. "Maybe Class defined events" would be better? I just do not understand the respective guide there.

EDIT: the issue does not happen on MP respawn, the code is not called inonplayerrespawn.sqf.

 

Thanks for any help as always.

cheers

Hello there Vandeanson !

 

This is what i'm using in my scripts , ex :

addMissionEventHandler ["Loaded", {
	params ["_saveType"];
	
	If(_saveType isEqualto "continue") then{
		[] execVM "GF_Earplugs\GF_Earplugs.sqf";
	};
}];

[] execVM "GF_Earplugs\GF_Earplugs.sqf";

Thanks George,

 

I read up on that missioneventhandler, and I am not sure what to do with it to solve my problem tbh=(

Even if i get to recognize what type of game i am loading, I am currently still unable to remove that one specific dAEH.

 

But maybe I dont get your solution yet=)

 

cheers

Aah, you load it via the mission EH, not via init. I ll try that

via init

 

First run this in your init and the next load will be with the

addMissionEventHandler ["Loaded"
