ARMA Reforger Scripting

[Favonias 0]

Hi,

 

I'm interested in learning how to script in ARMA Reforger.  How do I make a script that allows you to place a campfire by double clicking something in inventory?

First, you are welcome here. Second, always set a more specific title for your topic. This will help us to help you faster and better. 

 

Do you have some snippets of your code to share? I presume you have some as you apparently know how to implement a code in Reforger.

 

If you don't, here is a good start to help you describe better what you wanna do: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:From_SQF_to_Enforce_Script

modded class SCR_BaseGameMode

{

private ref CustomInputManager m_InputManager;

 

protected override void OnInit(IEntity owner)

{

super.OnInit(owner);

 

// Initialize the custom input manager

m_InputManager = new CustomInputManager();

m_InputManager.RegisterActions();

 

// Register the key press event for placing the campfire

GetGame().GetInputManager().AddActionListener("PlaceCampfire", EActionType::ACTION_PRESSED, this, "OnPlaceCampfireKeyPress");

}

 

void OnPlaceCampfireKeyPress()

{

// This method will call the logic to place the campfire

OnPlaceCampfire();

}

 

void OnPlaceCampfire()

{

// Path to the campfire prefab

ResourceName campfirePrefab = "Assets\Campfire_burning.et"; // Replace with the actual path

 

// Get the player's position

IEntity player = GetGame().GetPlayerController().GetControlledEntity();

if (player)

{

vector playerPos = player.GetOrigin();

// Spawn the campfire at the player's position

IEntity campfireEntity = GetGame().SpawnEntityPrefab(Resource.Load(campfirePrefab), playerPos, ETransformMode.WORLD);

}

}

}

 

Here's the main code I'm working with.  I made a CustomBaseGameMode file and CustominputManager file.  Everything compiles, but it doesn't work in game: the player presses 'F' and a campfire appears.  Am I using the wrong asset?

"Assets\Campfire_burning.et" very strange path, first once - slash is wrong, second one - prefab is Assets folder.

All prefabs in "Prefabs" folder.

Try this "{899360C930DA3EE3}Prefabs/Particles/Campfire_burning.et"

On future: right mouse click -> "Copy resource name(s)" on prefab to get path to it

Check logs and use checks in code:
 

Resource resource = Resource.Load(prefabResourceName);

if (!resource.IsValid())
{
	Print("Cant load prefab");
	return;
}

And very strange design to use "modded" class. Create own component and attach it to GameMode or player.
