Problem of init in addon's eventhandlers

[andylee054 0]

I found a problem on my addon's Eventhandlers.

If I added a eventhandler in my soldier's config like that:

class Eventhandlers

{

init = "[_this select 0] exec ""test.sqs""";

};

The sqs will be triggered when we load this soldier in game.

After I loaded the soldier, I order him to get in a car, then I found it will be triggered again when the soldier get out from a car.

No matter how many times I do this way, the test.sqs will be triggered again and again.

How can we stop it?

I found "removeEventhandler" won't work in config's Eventhandlers.

Any idea? Thanks.

put this in ur script:<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">if (format ["%1", soldierInit] == "scalar bool array string 0xfcffffef") then {soldierInit = []}

? (_this) in soldierInit: exit

soldierInit = soldierInit + [_this]

Great!! It works!!

Thanks a lot.

Make sure to start using a tag (like 'ALE') for that global variable soldierInit or your soldier addon may be useless to others in the future.

I'm curious as to why the init eventhandler is being called over and over? I have never experienced this.

Not sure why, but I ran into this problem too. In 1.92

The solution provided however did work

What is this?

"scalar bool array string 0xfcffffef"

If I remember correctly, it only fires everytime a unit gets out of a vehicle. Probably because they loose some of there individual identity (cant think of a better way of describing this) when they board a vehicle. I think it only applies to addon init events and soldiers.

Try using SwitchCamera "EXTERNAL" on a AI unit that has just entered a vehicle as a passanger and moved off. To see what I mean.

Thats what an un-initialised variable returns, when used with the format command. So you can check to make sure a script called from the init event only runs once per mission.

Oh by the way, that kind of comparison of an array to string will crash OFP after there are enough elements in the array.

Use count array==count array instead:

call{private{_t};_t=true;if(count ARR==count ARR)then{arr=arr+[_this];t=false;};if _t then{Arr=[_this];};}

Cheers
