bLAcKmAgE87 13 Posted May 21, 2022 Just another topic... I am using loadFile to pull out a text file of an array I made for object creation and assortment. However in the end it doesn't work out for me because I can't quite pull the text out of the array without getting a type error. At least I tried.... I thought it was tricky enough pulling out the code and getting it into a character again, but I pulled it off and got it working around. I'm sure there's a better way of making objects, or classes...

dreadedentity 278 Posted May 21, 2022 Cool concept, this seems like an excellent way to bring in large datasets without adding them directly to scripts. I'll have to play around with this and figure out some good ways to use it Sidenote: It's really not clear in the post that you are trying to bring forward an interesting command and generate discussion on it. In the past, I have made several tutorial-like posts, you may wish to follow my format or expand upon it and you might have more luck 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZaellixA 383 Posted May 22, 2022 Using .txt files to import data is a quite nice thought. I have used it in the past to both save player data (such as steam ID, achievements, qualifications, etc.) as well as bring/read them back in ArmA (as part of a achievement tracking for an ArmA Unit). Would you care to share the content of the external file to see what is the format before it is imported and compare it to the "end product" (imported array)? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZaellixA 383 Posted May 23, 2022 Hey, that's a lot of information and I am not sure I completely follow your approach or what exactly you are trying to achieve. I do see some redundancy in the first script you provided in the last answer (for example you have a lot of for-loops that iterate through the same array and you don't really use data from the previous iterations, which means you could possibly fit everything in a single go of the for-loop. Additionally you could use findIf instead of find which is a wee bit faster, especially for large arrays) but I may be mistaken because I don't get exactly what you are trying to achieve. Thanks for sharing though. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I havent really tried buildings yet.. but I'm sure the concept is the exact same as I have used this procedure in other scripts to create a maze and forest. The deficit: You can go through my older posts and see that it becomes a trigonometric challenge when ordering arrays of objects on the map. They face the same direction everytime and so does the entire array. I'll fiix this up once I clean up this code. That... is all. Orientation leads to more math and calculus.

bLAcKmAgE87 13 Posted May 26, 2022 Spoiler Notice how long this takes... 2 mins plus... You should only have to do it once... after that you can keep the texts with the mods of your choice and quantity... Ok after I got the texts in place... I launch it for a fast performance .... it only took a few seconds to start creating and finishes around 30s Need markers and directional orientations Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
