Module condition of presence

[Teutch 3]

Hello,

I would like to create a script that is able to desactivate or activate a module present on the map.

 

I thought about :                      _moduleName enableSimulation false;

or :                                             Variable == true;           Inside the condition of presence of the specific module.

 

But nothing seems to work.

Any ideas ?

 

Thanks in advance !

You can't do that. You need to spawn the module. The condition of presence (if any) is always checked at start and not further.

 

Some modules, like BI support must be synced with player(s). So you can sync/desync with specific commands/functions like BIS_fnc_addSupportLink

It's a specific case anyway.

 

Perhaps you can script something equivalent, along with conditions.

(The reason why I usually add a (looped) condition field in my own MGI modules).

What module specifically? Some can be de/activated via triggers.

Thanks again Pierremgi !

So is there a way of ensuring that a module present in the scenario, is enabled/disabled at the very begining thanks to variable checked at the start ?

It's a module from the mod arma commander.

I think I've found how to do it, for anyone looking to do something similar.

 

As a trigger leading to the script with execVM wouldn't have worked, (because made after the game start)

I used the description.ext file which is read before the start of the mission, and in it I added :
 

class CfgFunctions {
    class Addon {
        class Function {
            class preInit {
                file = "script.sqf";
                preInit = 1;
            };
        };
    };
};

 

There may be a simpler technique, but all that's needed is for a variable in the script.sqf to be set to true,

Variable = true; then in the module condition : Variable == true;

 

and this will make the module work or not !
