enableSimulationGlobal on Ded-server

[TriXter-9fcad23cb89cb108 0]

Hi, I'm completely and utterly incompetent at this! This is my first attempt at doing something like this. The idea is that this should be implemented on an Arma 3 Exile server. What I'm trying to do is a script for a so-called base defense. I have placed "in edior" an x number of mines on a field and disable simulation on these. (inside "mission.sqm") And I have then added an addaction on "INIT" to a object

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------            Addaction on object           -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------P1 addAction ["<t color='#ded51f'>Activate Minefields", "Mine\ActivateMine.sqf",P1 removeAction (_this select 2)] remoteExec ["execVM",1,true];                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

Then I have two sqf files 

Activate.sqf and Deactivate.sqf

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------            Activate.sqf           --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------hintSilent parsetext format ["<br /><t align='center' color='#de2c1f' size='2,5'>•• MINEFIELDS ACTIVATED ••</''"];

P1 addAction ["<t color='#ded51f'>Deactivate Minefields", "Mine\DeactivateMine.sqf", P1 removeAction (_this select 2)] remoteExec ["execVM",1,true];

[P1, ["Activate", 1000, 1] ] remoteExec ["say3D"];

_Obj= ["AT1"AP1"];                    // AT1 =ATMine AP1=APERSBoundingMine these are placed and name in Editor and disabled the simulation. So these are in the Mission.sqm file. So these spawn at every restart and are disabled.

{_x enableSimulationGlobal true;} forEach _Obj; 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hints and sounds work but the simulation on the mines doesn't work =(

There are a few syntax errors in your parseText, but the real issue is the syntax of your array of mine objects. An array of variables/variable names does not use quotes, and array elements are separated by a comma.

hintSilent parsetext format ["<br /><t align='center' color='#de2c1f' size='2.5'>•• MINEFIELDS ACTIVATED ••</t>"];

P1 addAction ["<t color='#ded51f'>Deactivate Minefields", "Mine\DeactivateMine.sqf", P1 removeAction (_this select 2)] remoteExec ["execVM",1,true];

[P1, ["Activate", 1000, 1] ] remoteExec ["say3D"];

_Obj = [AT1, AP1];

{
	_x enableSimulationGlobal true;
} forEach _Obj; 

 

And please don't use your own custom fancy formatting here, it makes things difficult to read. Just type normally and use code blocks (the <> tool in the toolbar).

Thnx 😃

But still don't work on the server.

Hint and sound works just fine but the mine don´t work =(

but everything work if i run it in editor.

[Harzach 2507]

Yeah, enableSimulationGlobal is SE, meaning it must be executed on the server. An alternative might be:

hintSilent parsetext format ["<br /><t align='center' color='#de2c1f' size='2.5'>•• MINEFIELDS ACTIVATED ••</t>"];

P1 addAction ["<t color='#ded51f'>Deactivate Minefields", "Mine\DeactivateMine.sqf", P1 removeAction (_this select 2)] remoteExec ["execVM",1,true];

[P1, ["Activate", 1000, 1] ] remoteExec ["say3D"];
  
_Obj = [AT1, AP1];

{
	[_x, true] remoteExec ["enableSimulation", 0, true];
} forEach _Obj;

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate your help! But the mines still don't get activated "enableSimulation" =(

I have no idea what I'm doing, but I've tried this and a few others, but none have worked except in the editor

 

{

[_x, true] remoteExec ["enableSimulation", 0, true];

} forEach _Obj;

 

{

[_x, true] remoteExecCall ["enableSimulationGlobal", 0]

} forEach _Obj;

 

 

and a few others, but none have worked except in the editor

 

It works in the editor but nothing happens on the server. 

as before hint, addaction works fine in the editor and server.

Just a point (for beginning)

3den enable simulation  (untick in editor) doesn't work well with mines.

If you preview from editor, it's OK (no menu for deactivation).

If you restart the mission, that fails partially (for mines only as far as I tested: deactivate menu is back and active but mines are not dangerous).

 

And that's for SP preview. I can't imagine the test in MP dedi server, with 2 players at least.

 

NOTE: in settings / preferences, I recompile functions every time the preview is launched.

OK thx for the info!

But can i hide these mines under ground and the lift them up when i activate?

 

_Obj = [AT1, AP1];

_x setposATL [getPosATL _x select 0,getPosATL _x select 1,(getPosATL _x select 2)+5] forEach  _Obj ;

Hello!

I'm no expert, but I think it's easier if you do it via script, creating and deleting mines accordingly.
