dfear 10 Posted August 13, 2009 Back from holidays.. BIS_fnc_arrayPush needs Functions module to be loaded. Probably the best way to safely edit a previously created comms menu! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snkman 351 Posted January 26, 2010 Hey guy's, just playing around with the communication menu and i have to say it really is a greate feature. One thing i really would love to know: If i create/add the command menu to a specific player will the command menu used/shown by this player only? I mean in MP if i have several player groups will the new commands i added to the menu only shown by the sepcific player where i had added/created it? Thanks for any info.

Cyborg11 10 Posted February 3, 2010 Here's something I did, waituntil {!isnil "bis_fnc_init"}; HCS_menu = [ ["HCS",false], ["Split Unit (%SELECTED_UNIT_ID)",[2],"",-5,[["expression","nul=[player,(groupSelectedUnits player)] execVM 'cent_HCS2 \cent_HCS2_split.sqf'"]],"1","1"], ["Rejoin Group (%SELECTED_UNIT_ID)",[3],"",-5,[["expression","nul=[player,(hcSelected player)] execVM 'cent_HCS2 \cent_HCS2_joinCM.sqf'"]],"1","1"] ]; waituntil {!isnil "BIS_MENU_GroupCommunication"}; [bIS_MENU_GroupCommunication, ["HCS",[0],"#USER:HCS_menu",-5,[["expression",""]],"1","1"]] call [b]BIS_fnc_arrayPush;[/b] if (true) exitWith {}; I use the bolded function to add my custom made HCS_menu into the BIS comms menu. Thank you dfear and kremator for this piece of code There is another method to add a new menu to an existing Communication menu without the function module :) sleep 2; If (isNil "BIS_MENU_GroupCommunication") then { BIS_MENU_GroupCommunication = [ [localize "STR_SOM_COMMUNICATIONS", false] ]; }; waituntil {!isnil "BIS_MENU_GroupCommunication"}; CUSTOM_menu = [ ["Menu",false], ["Item 1",[2],"",-5,[["expression","hint 'Hello!'"]],"1","1"], ["Item 2",[3],"",-5,[["expression","[] execVM 'myScript.sqf'"]],"1","0"] ]; _count = count BIS_MENU_GroupCommunication; BIS_MENU_GroupCommunication set [_count, ["Test",[0],"#USER:CUSTOM_menu",-5,[["expression",""]],"1","1"]]; For the shortcut [0] you can also use _count :) Shortcut 1 is ESC. So you should use (_count + 1) instead of only _count if you want to start with 1 as shortcut. @SNKMAN: Did you try it in MP? I would say its global so every player will have the same communication. But maybe if you change the BIS_MENU_GroupCommunication only local and don't public that variable maybe you can change it for only one player :) Does the SOM module use a variable which displays if the SOM initialised?

cobra4v320 27 Posted August 17, 2010 (edited) I have a question, the script below works fine: CUSTOM_menu = [ ["Support Menu",false], ["Fixed-Wing",[2],"",-5,[["expression","nul=[] execVM 'support\fixed_support.sqf'"]],"1","1"], ["Airborne Infantry",[3],"",-5,[["expression","nul=[] execVM 'support\para_support.sqf'"]],"1","1"], ["Close Air Support",[4],"",-5,[["expression","nul=[] execVM 'support\rotor_support.sqf'"]],"1","1"], ["Transport Support",[5],"",-5,[["expression","nul=[] execVM 'support\trans_support.sqf'"]],"1","1"], ["Infantry Support",[6],"",-5,[["expression","nul=[] execVM 'support\inf_support.sqf'"]],"1","1"] ]; BIS_MENU_GroupCommunication = [ [localize "STR_SOM_COMMUNICATIONS", false], ["Support Menu",[2],"#USER:CUSTOM_menu",-5,[["expression",""]],"1","1"] ]; if (true) exitWith {}; But when I add the line in red it no longer works, does anyone know why? Im assuming it has to do with "" or ' ' but I cannot figure it out. Any help would be appreciated. CUSTOM_menu = [ ["Support Menu",false], ["Fixed-Wing",[2],"",-5,[["expression","nul=[] execVM 'support\fixed_support.sqf'"]],"1","1"], ["Airborne Infantry",[3],"",-5,[["expression","nul=[] execVM 'support\para_support.sqf'"]],"1","1"], ["Close Air Support",[4],"",-5,[["expression","nul=[] execVM 'support\rotor_support.sqf'"]],"1","1"], ["Transport Support",[5],"",-5,[["expression","nul=[] execVM 'support\trans_support.sqf'"]],"1","1"], ["Infantry Support",[6],"",-5,[["expression","nul=[] execVM 'support\inf_support.sqf'"]],"1","1"], [color="Red"]["Missile Support",[7],"",-5,[["expression","nul=[laserTarget player, getpos missilestart,""Bo_GBU12_LGB"",300]execVM 'support\missile_support.sqf'"]],"1","1"][/color] ]; BIS_MENU_GroupCommunication = [ [localize "STR_SOM_COMMUNICATIONS", false], ["Support Menu",[2],"#USER:CUSTOM_menu",-5,[["expression",""]],"1","1"] ]; if (true) exitWith {}; THE SCRIPT ABOVE HAS BEEN FIXED.

cobra4v320 27 Posted August 18, 2010 (edited) Is there also a way to create a submenu after you click on one of the menu options? Can we delete a menu option after it has been used a certain amount of times? ---------- Post added at 02:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:52 AM ---------- I figured out the submenus here is what I have: waituntil {!isnil "bis_fnc_init"}; [] call BIS_fnc_commsMenuCreate; FixedWing_SUBMENU = [ ["Fixed-Wing Menu",false], ["Fixed-Wing (Station)", [2], "", -5, [["expression", "player sidechat ""this is Fixed (Station)"" "]], "1", "1"], ["Fixed-Wing (CAS)", [3], "", -5, [["expression", "player sidechat "" this is Fixed (CAS)"" "]], "1", "1"], ["Fixed-Wing (RTB)", [4], "", -5, [["expression", "player sidechat "" this is Fixed (RTB)"" "]], "1", "1"] ]; RotorWing_SUBMENU = [ ["Rotor-Wing Menu",false], ["Rotor-Wing (Station)", [2], "", -5, [["expression", "player sidechat ""this is Rotor (Station)"" "]], "1", "1"], ["Rotor-Wing (CAS)", [3], "", -5, [["expression", "player sidechat "" this is Rotor (CAS)"" "]], "1", "1"], ["Rotor-Wing (RTB)", [4], "", -5, [["expression", "player sidechat "" this is Rotor (RTB)"" "]], "1", "1"] ]; Support_MAINMENU = [ ["Support Menu",false], ["Infantry (Air Assault)", [2], "", -5, [["expression", "player sidechat ""this is Infantry (Air Assualt)"" "]], "1", "1"], ["Infantry (Airborne)", [3], "", -5, [["expression", "player sidechat ""this is Infantry (Airborne)"" "]], "1", "1"], ["Fixed-Wing Support", [4], "#USER:FixedWing_SUBMENU", -5, [["expression", "player sidechat ""this is Fixed-Wing (submenu)"" "]], "1", "1"], ["Rotor-Wing Support", [5], "#USER:RotorWing_SUBMENU", -5, [["expression", "player sidechat ""this is Rotor-Wing (submenu)"" "]], "1", "1"] ]; waituntil {!isnil "BIS_MENU_GroupCommunication"}; [bIS_MENU_GroupCommunication, ["Support Menu",[0],"#USER:Support_MAINMENU",-5,[["expression",""]],"1","1"]] call BIS_fnc_arrayPush; showCommandingMenu "#USER:Support_MAINMENU"; Edited August 18, 2010 by cobra4v320 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CptBBQ 10 Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) Hi all, cool thread. I read up on the issue recently and found this very informative wiki page: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/showCommandingMenu But there are still some questions left. For example this argument.. // isActive - Boolean 1 or 0 for yes or no - if item is not active, it appears gray. ...sets the menu item to inactive from the beginning. I´d guess then there should be some way to activate it later on, but that´s not mentioned anywhere... Is there any way at all to change/delete/manipulate menu items during the game? Any ideas? Thanks in advance, bbq ------------------------------ edit @ Clayman and SNKMAN: I did this with something like if (player == player1) then {add player specific menu options}; of course I´ve named all playable units accordingly. Tested on dedicated server without problems so far. Edited February 24, 2011 by CptBBQ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clayman 20 Posted February 24, 2011 Thanks for the info. :) To (de)activate a menu item you can use something like this (from the example on the biki page): // Deactivate first item BIS_MENU_GroupCommunication set [1, ["First", [0], "", -5, [["expression", "player sidechat ""First"" "]], "1", "0"]]; // Activate second item BIS_MENU_GroupCommunication set [2, ["Second", [2], "", -5, [["expression", "player sidechat ""Second"" "]], "1", "1"]]; Just change the isActive / isVisible to "1" or "0".

cobra4v320 27 Posted July 4, 2011 (edited) I want the option to cancel objectives during the mission using the menu, the below menu and scripting works fine. I just need to find out how to remove the menu item after it has been used. For example if I have to cancel objective one and call the script how do I then tell the menu to remove that line in the communications menu? waituntil {!isnil "bis_fnc_init"}; [] call BIS_fnc_commsMenuCreate; Mission_MAINMENU = [ ["Mission Menu",true], ["Cancel Objective Destroy BM-21 Rockets", [2], "", -5, [["expression", "execVM 'mission_menu\objectives\obj1_canceled.sqf'"]], "1", "1"], ["Cancel Objective Destroy Ammo Trucks", [3], "", -5, [["expression", "execVM 'mission_menu\objectives\obj2_canceled.sqf'"]], "1", "1"], ["Cancel Objective Destroy Communications", [4], "", -5, [["expression", "execVM 'mission_menu\objectives\obj3_canceled.sqf'"]], "1", "1"] ]; waituntil {!isnil "BIS_MENU_GroupCommunication"}; [bIS_MENU_GroupCommunication, ["Mission Menu",[0],"#USER:Mission_MAINMENU",-5,[["expression",""]],"1","1"]] call BIS_fnc_arrayPush; I have been trying this to remove the menu item after it has been used and it is not working. Its not putting out any errors either. mission_menu\objectives\obj1_canceled.sqf "tskobj1" objStatus "DONE"; tskobj1 setTaskState "CANCELED"; _nul = [objNull, ObjNull, tskobj1, "CANCELED"] execVM "CA\Modules\MP\data\scriptCommands\taskHint.sqf"; BIS_MENU_GroupCommunication set [2, ["Cancel Objective Destroy BM-21 Rockets", [0], "", -5, [["expression", ""]], "0", "0"]]; saveGame; if (true) exitwith {}; Edited July 4, 2011 by cobra4v320 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cobra4v320 27 Posted July 4, 2011 (edited) The only work around that I can come up with is this. There has to be a way to delete or turnoff something in the communications menu. [color="Red"]if (taskcompleted tskobj1) exitwith {hint "Objective is already complete."};[/color] "tskobj1" objStatus "DONE"; tskobj1 setTaskState "CANCELED"; _nul = [objNull, ObjNull, tskobj1, "CANCELED"] execVM "CA\Modules\MP\data\scriptCommands\taskHint.sqf"; saveGame; if (true) exitwith {}; Edited July 4, 2011 by cobra4v320 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cobra4v320 27 Posted July 4, 2011 (edited) I found a way to make it grayed out but there still has to be an easier way to do this.
