Engine Eventhandler - Brain Fart

[Messiah 2]

Ok, engine eventhandler returns an array containing the unit and the engine state, 1 or 0.

now, I'm executing the eventhandler thusly:

class Extended_Engine_EventHandlers
{
class ukf_landrover_base
{
	ukf_landrover_base_engine="_this exec ""\ukf_landrovers\scripts\startstop.sqs""";
 	};
};

I've also tried an array with old _this select nonsense in as well. The script:

_unit = _this select 0
_onoff = _this select 1

?!(Local _unit) : exit

?(_onoff==1) : goto "engineon"

#engineoff

_unit say ["ukf_landrover_engineoff", 20]

exit

#engineon

_unit say ["ukf_landrover_engineon", 20]

exit

nothing complex, but it errors at the (_onoff==1) part, type bool expected number. Now I always mix up the error messages and what they mean, but I assume thats saying that its expecting a boolean and I've asked for a number? The boolean the engine returns is true or false, 1 or 0, so I'm not sure whats wrong.

Bound to be something obvious and idiotic, as I said, I'm having a brain fart today

_onoff is a boolean which cant be compared to a number.

you could just write

?_onoff : goto "engineon"

d'oh

told you it was a brain fart moment, yes, of course, thank you

You know what helps to clear the GAS? sidechat of your input/data _this. :D (for general fart reduction)

that's far too sensible for my tastes... although now the script works, of course the damn game can't find my sounds...

class CfgSounds
{
sounds[] = {ukf_landrover_engineon, ukf_landrover_engineoff};   
 	class ukf_landrover_engineon
 	{
  		name = "ukflandroverengineon";
  		sound[] = {"\ukf_landrovers\sound\start.ogg", db0, 1};
  		titles[] = {};
	};
 	class ukf_landrover_engineoff
 	{
 		name = "ukflandroverengineoff";
  		sound[] = {"\ukf_landrovers\sound\stop.ogg", db0, 1};
  		titles[] = {};
 	};
};

beware possible brain fart moment again, but I see nothing wrong with that config entry (copy paste from the wiki no less)

This is just a wild guess, i don't have much experience with configs.

As name in the config you define

name = "ukflandroverengineoff";

but when calling it, its

_unit say ["ukf_landrover_engineoff", 20]

Shouldn't it rather be

_unit say ["ukflandroverengineoff", 20]

?

I think name is the name that appears in the mission editor 'effects' tab as the name of the sound file. I did have them both the same name at one stage (with underscores) but changed it in case it was causing conflicts.

no harm in trying again I suppose :D
