RPT Spamming Error Undefined variable in expression: commoninitcomplete

[ItzTopcat 3]

Hello, can anybody help me with this script

RPT shows and spams

 

Sleep 10;

Call Co>
  Error Undefined variable in expression: commoninitcomplete
File mpmissions\__cur_mp.smd_sahrani_a2\Common\Init\Init_Camp.sqf, line 14
Error in expression <tMarkerSizeLocal [0.5,0.5];

waitUntil {commonInitComplete};

Sleep 10;

 

 

Actual script:

_camp = _this Select 0;
_town = _this Select 1;

Call Compile Format["if (IsNil ""%1Camps"") then {%1Camps = []};",Str _town];
Call Compile Format["%1Camps = %1Camps + [_camp]",Str _town];

_index = Call Compile Format["%1Camps Find _camp",Str _town];
_marker = Format["%1Camp%2",Str _town,_index];
CreateMarkerLocal [_marker,GetPos _camp];
_marker SetMarkerTypeLocal "Strongpoint";
_marker SetMarkerColorLocal "ColorBlue";
_marker SetMarkerSizeLocal [0.5,0.5];

waitUntil {commonInitComplete};

Sleep 10;

Call Compile Format["if (IsNil ""%1SideID"") then {%1SideID = RESISTANCEID};",Str _camp];
Call Compile Format["if (IsNil ""%1SupplyValue"") then {%1SupplyValue = %2SupplyValue};",Str _camp,Str _town];

if (IsServer) then {
	_flagType = "FlagCarrierINDFOR_EP1";
	if (PkgA2) then {_flagType = "FlagCarrierGUE"};
	_flagPole = _flagType CreateVehicle GetPos _camp;
	_flagPole SetFlagTexture "Client\Images\Flags\flag_resistance.paa";
	[_camp,_town,_flagPole] ExecVM "Server\Server_UpdateCamp.sqf";
};

The .rpt log is spamming because you have no sleep in the waitUntil.  Undefined variable gets logged for each cycle while it remains undefined.

 

Seems your camp script is running before the common init completes, and commonInitComplete was not predefined.

 

You could predefine it, which is often the best way:

commonInitComplete = false;

// stuff happens
// camp script runs
// common init finishes

commonInitComplete = true;

Or you could handle it as a flag variable which could be nil, true or false:

waitUntil {sleep 0.1; [false,commonInitComplete] select !(isNil "commonInitComplete")};

Return is false when commonInitComplete is not yet defined; or,

Return is commonInitComplete value when it is defined.

Hello Opusfmspol,

 

I am glad people are still active in Arma2.

 

Thank you for your answer I will test it right away!

 

Edit: worked like a charm 

 

Thanks! 🙂

Topcat,  We have an arma 2 server that does not work since the new update.  Is there a programmer that might consent to programming this server so we can play on it?  I am sure we could pay someone if they were willing.  We like the Genesis Epoch server semi millitary, but we are not real picky.  Thank you!!

I will keep checking this in case you reply.  ty
