Construction interface problem

[evolve 10]

How to enable "Buy units" and "Buy weapons" commands?

Construction Interface Module can only build bases and barracks,

but no commands appears near these buildings.

[Jedo 10]

EDIT: OK I solved the intial issues...whew these scripts are unforgiving!

OK the things the newer people need to know are as follows:

First of all, I created a init.sqf script, which as I understand, loads automatically so I don't need to do much in the editor.

So in init.sqf I entered the following:

myMoney = 1000;

MyCoin setvariable ["BIS_COIN_name","Base"];

MyCoin setvariable ["BIS_COIN_rules",[player]];

MyCoin setvariable ["BIS_COIN_areasize",[50,20]]; 

MyCoin setvariable ["BIS_COIN_categories",["Base", "Defence"]]; 

MyCoin setvariable ["BIS_COIN_items",
[
	//--- Class, Category, Cost or [fundsID,Cost], (display name)
	["USMC_WarfareBBarracks","Base",200,"Barracks"],
	["BTR90_HQ_unfolded","Base",100],
	["USMC_WarfareBLightFactory","Base",400],
	["USMC_WarfareBHeavyFactory","Base",600]
]
];

myCoin setvariable ["BIS_COIN_funds",["myMoney"]];

myCoin setvariable ["BIS_COIN_fundsDescription",["€"]];

MyCoin setvariable ["BIS_COIN_onPurchase",{sleep 2}]; 

Then you go to the editor. Now, you no longer need to synchronize the Construction module to the player because BIS_COIN_rules in the top code already does that, but YOU DO need to NAME the module MyCoin as referred to in the script, otherwise the script won't work.

That's it.

Now I have the same question as Evolve - how do I actually buy new units? I'm taking an educated guess that it has something to do with the warfare module - that module currently just hangs up my system when I try to load it and I have no idea what to do with it anyway. All I want is the ability to buy units. Anyone?

Update on the question: how do I tie my kills or succesful side quest completion to BIS_COIN_funds or myMoney account?

Thanks Jedo, that basic format has been very helpful!

But, can you assign a unique ID/name to any of the created buildings? How do you do that?

Oh, and is there a way to limit each Construction Module to allow only one (or set #) of each type of building?

[Smoot178 10]

Another question for you guys: how would I make the construction area be around the soldier, wherever he goes instead of where the module is placed?

[limtu 10]

brief and quick question - how do i create or fill in optional parameters for modules in an editor map. for example how do i set the optional parameters for the construction module? How do i create the file for this and how to use it within the editor? i can't find any links explaining this, but i see people sharing information on changing the parameters, but no information to actually create one. One more question, how do i access the 3D editor, not the 2D editor.

e.g. editing and creating this kind of stuff for constructing bases....but how do you create this? and put it in game

[Johne Nelson 10]

can someone please dumb this down for me i am not a computer wise guy i don't have a clue where to put this and i don't have a clue on what a init means please and thank you

[Jedo 10]

has anyone figured out how to add buyable units to the base buildings yet?

[Alpha13 10]

And I would also like to support previous folks and ask: How do we increase the funds for a player who killed a unit (infantry, armor, etc.)?

[kurt211 10]

Could someone show an example of how to get this working, I entered that into my init.sqf but couldnt figure it out.

I want to make a static machine gun using this, whenever I build it, it's not accesible. What am I doing wrong?

Edited September 16, 2009 by PorkyJack

[TechnoTerrorist303 10]

Yeah, how do I add items to the construction module so that I can have people build static defences?

Ohyeah also an interesting "bug"... If I attach the coIn to a humvee, then shoot the driver in the head, the guy with the mg on top rotates it through 90 degrees in the wrong direction, gets out, runs round the vehicle before running into the side of it and dying.

[vincentius 10]

using the contruction module i have gotten to the stage where i can place buildings like you would in warfare, however placing a building doesnt deduct from your funds, even though i set its cost in the BIS_COIN_items variable. none of the other commands listed here help:

http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Construction_Interface

anyone know of anyother commands or what i'm doing wrong. i have set my construction vars like so:

_coin = _this select 0; (BIS_coin_0)

_coin setvariable ["BIS_COIN_categories",["Base", "Defence"]]; 

_coin setvariable ["BIS_COIN_items",
[
	//--- Class, Category, Cost or [fundsID,Cost], (display name)
	["USMC_WarfareBBarracks","Base",200],
	["BTR90_HQ_unfolded","Base",100],
	["USMC_WarfareBLightFactory","Base",200]
]
];

_coin setvariable ["BIS_COIN_areasize",[50,20]]; 

_coin setvariable ["BIS_COIN_funds",["200"]];

_coin setvariable ["BIS_COIN_fundsDescription",["S"]];

hi pogoman . im a bit lost with this ive created my sqf file, but now im not sure after reading this what im supposed to put in it anymore. can you give me a run down of what youve done so far or a demo mission? please help arrrgghh!!

[PorkyJack 10]

When my guy with the CoIn dies, the CoIn is gone. How can I make it respawn-proof?

[DarkestKnight 10]

wow none of this seems to be working for me... and whoever writes up the wiki page for this could do much better.

[28thCDM 10]

Hi Dose anyone know where i can find a list of items that i can add to the list of items for purchase and is it as simple as adding them on to the bottom of the list in the init.sqf

Example:

myMoney = 1000;

MyCoin setvariable ["BIS_COIN_name","Base"];

MyCoin setvariable ["BIS_COIN_rules",[player]];

MyCoin setvariable ["BIS_COIN_areasize",[50,20]]; 

MyCoin setvariable ["BIS_COIN_categories",["Base", "Defence"]]; 

MyCoin setvariable ["BIS_COIN_items",
[
	//--- Class, Category, Cost or [fundsID,Cost], (display name)
	["USMC_WarfareBBarracks","Base",200,"Barracks"],
	["BTR90_HQ_unfolded","Base",100],
	["USMC_WarfareBLightFactory","Base",400],
	["USMC_WarfareBHeavyFactory","Base",600],
               ["USMC_WarfareBFieldhHospital",Base",400,"Field Hospital"],
               ["USMC_WarfareBMGNest_M240",Assault,150"MG Nest (M240)"],
               ["USMC_WarfareBVehicleServicePoint",Base,1000"Vehicle Service Point"]
]
];

myCoin setvariable ["BIS_COIN_funds",["myMoney"]];

myCoin setvariable ["BIS_COIN_fundsDescription",["€"]];

MyCoin setvariable ["BIS_COIN_onPurchase",{sleep 2}];

I am taking the class names out of the ArmA2 Libary PDF but i have not had much sucess at getting anything else to show up in the build menu.

how to create COIN by a script?

and what do I need to script after that? syncronization to a human-owner? or something else?

[McArcher 0]

creating COIN in Editor and

[i][color="SeaGreen"]Name_of_my_COIN_Module[/color][/i] synchronizeObjectsAdd [[i][color="SeaGreen"]Player_Name[/color][/i]];

doesn't help :( (but, manual syncronization works)

Edited December 22, 2009 by McArcher

[McArcher 0]

omg, it was so easy... (without any settings for COIN, just empty working COIN)... if someone else is looking for it, it can be done this way... (just an example)

Side_RU_MHQ = createCenter east;
group_RU_MHQ = createGroup east;
"ConstructionManager" createUnit [ getPos RU_MHQ, group_RU_MHQ, "COIN_RU_MHQ = this;"];
COIN_RU_MHQ synchronizeObjectsAdd [RU_player_1];

[McArcher 0]

How can I make COIN able to build not only on the ground, but also on big flat roofls (for example, on the roof of city hospital, class Land_A_Hospital) ?

[McArcher 0]

and... after Death, COIN doesn't work for me.... :/

please, HELP ME !

COIN module is bugged :D

after some attempts of deleting and creating it back, it returns error in .RPT file !

Error in expression <es = _cashValues + [call compile _x];

} foreach _funds;

_cashValuesOld = _logic >

Error position: <foreach _funds;

_cashValuesOld = _logic >

Error foreach: Тип ПоÑледовательноÑÑ‚ÑŒ, ожидаетÑÑ ÐœÐ½Ð¾Ð¶ÐµÑтво

File ca\modules\coin\data\scripts\coin_interface.sqf, line 721

BIS !

I think it's your bug this time

and this bug is appearing randomly (it can be after first removal of COIN object and then its creation, or after 10th attempt).

in game it results in a clear COIN interface: without money, witout list of buildings and it doesnt respond to Backscape button !!!!! game is hung... only quitting game helps...

BIS, please hear me !

COIN is bugged after its re-initialization in GetOut EH. Before GetOut (when I am in MHQ) no line in .RPT there was.

To be more accurate, bug appears when i press enter button on selected COIN build action in menu (so, initializaton seems to be ok, something wrong with coin's script?)

Excuse me, what is "CIT ticket" and what do you mean by "repro in 1,2,3 bullet points"? Sorry, but my English is not perfect.
