sarogahtyp 1109 Posted June 24, 2021 Short question: In a Singleplayer mission I need to detect if a save is initiated by player or automatically by mission and I want to execute a script (by mod) just before the saving occurs. I would be very grateful for any ideas that could lead the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
7erra 629 Posted June 24, 2021 EDIT: Just now noticed that it doesn't matter if it is manual or automatic, so you can use the OnSaveGame scripted EH https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Scripted_Event_Handlers Old answer (only detects manual saving): since the game is saved via a button click you could add an eventhandler to the button, so something like: #include "\a3\ui_f\hpp\defineResincl.inc" [missionNamespace, "OnGameInterrupt", { params ["_display"]; private _btnSave = _display displayCtrl IDC_INT_SAVE; _btnSave ctrlAddEventHandler ["ButtonClick",{ params ["_btnSave"]; // Do stuff }]; }] call BIS_fnc_addScriptedEventHandler; 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But that I need to test I guess... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haleks 8212 Posted June 24, 2021 @sarogahtyp: I like where this is going. 😉 I'm going to investigate this too, but somehow I doubt the save EH will be useful... I'm wondering if it's possible to have the default "save" button point to a custom function, anyone? It would then be easy to revert script-induced changes before saving so that they don't clutter the saved file... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can remove the default behavior by removing all events from the button and then making your own event: #include "\a3\ui_f\hpp\defineResincl.inc" [missionNamespace, "OnGameInterrupt", { params ["_display"]; private _btnSave = _display displayCtrl IDC_INT_SAVE; _btnSave ctrlRemoveAllEventHandlers "ButtonClick"; _btnSave ctrlAddEventHandler ["ButtonClick",{ params ["_btnSave"]; // Do stuff }]; }] call BIS_fnc_addScriptedEventHandler; IDC_INT_SAVE is 119 btw. I am not sure if it is possible to create manual save games though. According to the BIKI https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/saveGame saves are auto saves. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sarogahtyp 1109 Posted June 26, 2021 okay, that scripted EH works very well // Add scripted EH to unhide everything before saving occurs in Singleplayer if !( isMultiplayer ) then { [missionNamespace, "OnSaveGame", { [] call saroTweakMapFPS_fnc_unhide_map_objects; }] call BIS_fnc_addScriptedEventHandler; }; It executes the code right before saving the game. That saves my ass 😉 Now the next problem is around the corner. I'd like to execute next piece of code right after saving is finished. So the question is how can I detect this? Is it possible to detect this saving message which is shown during saving: Spoiler I guess there is a Display solution but I m really a noob when its about displays ... Edit: Okay seems not to be as hard as I thought. Biki gives a display ID: Quote IDD_SAVE 13 *SaroGetsIntoTestingMode* ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sarogahtyp 1109 Posted June 26, 2021 displays ... I hate em. Not working: if !( isMultiplayer ) then { [missionNamespace, "OnSaveGame", { [] call saroTweakMapFPS_fnc_unhide_map_objects; _dummy = [] spawn { waitUntil {diag_log "waiting 4 save display"; sleep 0.5; !isNull findDisplay 13 }; waitUntil {diag_log "waiting 4 end of save display"; sleep 0.5; isNull findDisplay 13 }; [] call saroTweakMapFPS_fnc_hide_map_objects; }; }] call BIS_fnc_addScriptedEventHandler; }; gives me an endless loop logging "waiting 4 save display" I guess I could use some help again...

sarogahtyp 1109 Posted June 26, 2021 what I did not notice was that the endless loop was started after the saving was finished already. Therefore the solution is as easy as it can be: // Add scripted EH to unhide everything before saving occurs in Singleplayer if !( isMultiplayer ) then { [missionNamespace, "OnSaveGame", { // unhide before saving starts [] call saroTweakMapFPS_fnc_unhide_map_objects; // hide again after saving is finished [] spawn saroTweakMapFPS_fnc_hide_map_objects; }] call BIS_fnc_addScriptedEventHandler; }; Its simple. Code you call in that EH is executed before saving occurs. Code you spawn is just executed after saving is finished. Problem solved, Im happy. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
