Call sqf?

[Diaverso Carrasco 1]

I have a setup for a GUI. It works perfectly.

But, I don't know how to add an sqf call in this script

_selectedIndex = lbCurSel 456;

if(_selectedIndex == 0) exitWith
{
        hint "Teleport to Formacion/Arsenal";
        null = [] spawn execVM "formacion_arsenal.sqf";
        closeDialog 0;
};

if(_selectedIndex == 1) exitWith
{
        hint "";
        closeDialog 0;
};

if(_selectedIndex == 2) exitWith
{
        hint "";
        closeDialog 0;
};

if(_selectedIndex == 3) exitWith
{
        hint "";
        closeDialog 0;
};

With this script when I interact with the GUI it shows me the hint, but it doesn't load the sqf file

file sqf:

 _tele = _this select 0;
_caller = _this select 1;

_caller setPos (getpos (formacion));

This script has to teleport you to the mark called "formation" but it does nothing

You pass nothing to the script....

[] spawn execVM "formacion_arsenal.sqf";

So it has no idea what _caller is...

56 minutes ago, Diaverso Carrasco said:

_tele = _this select 0;

_caller = _this select 1;

_caller will be nil.

_caller will be nil.

It is a script to teleport you to a position. This is the video from where I got the script

@Diaverso Carrasco,

Here's a very simple teleport script,

Spoiler

you_simpleTeleport=
{ params [["_caller"], ["_loc"]];
_caller setpos (getpos _loc);
};

//[player, formation] call you_simpleTeleport;

 

and a slightly better one,
 

Spoiler

you_fnc_teleport=
{ params [["_caller", player], ["_location", locationNull]];

	titleText ["Teleporting", "BLACK FADED", 0.2];
	playsound ["Orange_PeriodSwitch_Pre_01", true];
sleep 0.5;
	_caller setPos (getPos (_location));
	titleCut ["", "BLACK IN", 5];
};

//[player, formation] spawn you_fnc_teleport;

No need to call a .sqf just paste the function into your init file and call (spawn) any time.

Have fun!

Init.sqf

you_fnc_teleport=
{ params [["_caller", player], ["formacion", locationNull]];

	titleText ["Teletrasnportando", "BLACK FADED", 0.2];
	playsound ["Orange_PeriodSwitch_Pre_01", true];
sleep 0.5;
	_caller setPos (getPos (formacion));
	titleCut ["", "BLACK IN", 5];
};

//[player, formation] spawn you_fnc_teleport;

I understand that where it says "_location" it has to be changed by variable name?

 

_selectedIndex = lbCurSel 456;

if(_selectedIndex == 0) exitWith
{
        hint "Teletransportado a Formacion/Arsenal";
        [player, formation] spawn you_fnc_teleport;
        closeDialog 0;
};

if(_selectedIndex == 1) exitWith
{
        hint "";
        closeDialog 0;
};

if(_selectedIndex == 2) exitWith
{
        hint "";
        closeDialog 0;
};

if(_selectedIndex == 3) exitWith
{
        hint "";
        closeDialog 0;
};

@Diaverso Carrasco,

To answer your original question more directly,

Spoiler

null = [player, formacion] spawn execVM "formacion_arsenal.sqf";

That way it works with your buttons!

Otherwise,

The function call (spawn) is configurable,

[player, formation] spawn you_fnc_teleport;

Either variable can be any object. The first variable will be moved to the position of the second variable.

[any_obj, any_obj] spawn you_fnc_teleport;

You may want to try placing some helpers (object-->signs-->helpers), naming them: "helper_1", "helper_2", and then try,

[player, helper_1] spawn you_fnc_teleport;

The function itself needs to be loaded in either the mission init file (init.sqf) or in the editor's init dialog box.

Have fun!
 

Spoiler

To just "make it work":
1) create a helper object and name it "helper_1"
2) paste the function AND call directly into the in-game debug console
call with:

[player, helper_1] spawn you_fnc_teleport;

3) hit Enter and poof you teleported!

@wogz187

Sorry, I'm not good at weapon 3 scripts.

Excuse me, but I did what you told me and the teleport does not do well or gives me an error.

I send you a video for you to see.:

 

[wogz187 1085]

@Diaverso Carrasco,

Sorry. I said, "Marker", I should have said "Helper". Specifically  objects-->signs-->helpers, pick your favourite flavor of arrow!

The script did work but since the position was invalid (would need getmarkerpos) you went to default locationNull.

Check this out,

Spoiler

We can replace the default "_loc" with "player", this way an invalid location will result in no move,

you_fnc_teleport=
{ params [["_caller", player], ["_loc", player]];

	titleText ["Teleporting", "BLACK FADED", 0.2];
	playsound ["Orange_PeriodSwitch_Pre_01", true];
sleep 0.5;
	_caller setPos (getPos (_loc));
	titleCut ["", "BLACK IN", 5];
};

Here's a button to call the function,

you_useTeleport=[ player, "Use Teleport",   
"\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\holdAction_connect_ca.paa",   
"\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\holdAction_connect_ca.paa",   
"isNull objectParent player", "alive player", {}, {}, {

	[player, helper_1] spawn you_fnc_teleport;

}, {}, [], 2, 0, false, true] call BIS_fnc_holdActionAdd; 

Paste all of the above into init.sqf or the Editor Init Dialog.

Have fun!

How would you call this with an addAction from an editor placed object in a MP environment?

[wogz187 1085]

@Robustcolor,

The "_caller" can be anybody so it should be something like,

Spoiler

null= [this, "Use Teleport",   
"\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\holdAction_connect_ca.paa",   
"\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\holdAction_connect_ca.paa",   
"alive _this", "_this distance _target < 3", {}, {}, {

	[(_this select 1), helper_1] spawn you_fnc_teleport;

}, {}, [], 2, 0, false, true] call BIS_fnc_holdActionAdd;

Pasted into the init dialog box of the desired object.
Substitute "helper_1" with the name of the exit point.
Can be added to multiple objects with same or different exits.

Remember to load the function,

you_fnc_teleport=
{ params [["_caller", player], ["_location", player]];

	titleText ["Teleporting", "BLACK FADED", 0.2];
	playsound ["Orange_PeriodSwitch_Pre_01", true];
sleep 0.5;
	_caller setPos (getPos (_location));
	titleCut ["", "BLACK IN", 5];
};

 

Have fun!
