new param system

pogoman979 · May 18, 2009

- to your description.ext add following class
class Params

{

class Score

{

title = "$STR_mp_param_score";

values[] = {10,200};

texts[] = {"10","200"};

default = 10;

};

class Duration

{

title = "$STR_mp_param_duration";

values[] = {1,2};

texts[] = {"one hour","two hours"};

default = 1;

};

etc. .....

}

- old style of parametrs definiton can be still used

How to use multiple parameters in your MP mission:

- values can be read from new variable paramsArray

- variables param1 and param2 are still present

- if param1 and param2 are defined, they can be read from paramsArray[0] and paramsArray[1] as well

anyone got this working yet? i added it in and the params are defined in paramsArray, but theres no option to change them in the lobby.

There is now a button at the bottom of the lobby screen, where you can change parameters.

dont suppose you could provide a screenshot or something cause i got nothing. the old param buttons were as plain as day, i seriously cant see anything at all with the new method.

You making sure that you run-mod=beta;

Although for me the params show up, i cant get them to change no matter what setting i use its the same ingame so i dont no :S i used the example mission.

omg lol. i cant believe after all this time i forgot to do something so simple. yeah my target line was pointing to the beta exe but i didnt actually have -mod=beta; :S

cheers

Need some help with the new class param:

Here is my init:

skiptime (paramsArray select 2);


switch (param3) do
{
  case 0: {setviewdistance 1000};
  case 1: {setviewdistance 2000};
  case 2: {setviewdistance 3000};
  case 3: {setviewdistance 4000};
  case 4: {setviewdistance 5000};
  case 5: {setviewdistance 6000};
  case 6: {setviewdistance 7000};
  case 7: {setviewdistance 8000};
  case 8: {setviewdistance 9000};
  case 9: {setviewdistance 10000};
};


switch (param4) do
{
  case 0: {setTerrainGrid 50};
  case 1: {setterraingrid 25};
  case 2: {setterraingrid 6.25};
};

Here is my description.ext:

class Params	
{	
       class DayTime	
       {	
               title = "Time Of Day";	
               values[] = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24};	
               texts[] = {"1:00", "2:00", "3:00", "4:00", "5:00", "6:00", "7:00", "8:00", "9:00", "10:00", "11:00", "12:00", "13:00", "14:00", "15:00", "16:00", "17:00", "18:00", "19:00", "20:00", "21:00", "22:00", "23:00", "24:00"};	
               default = 16;	
       };	
       class Distance	
       {	
               title = "View Distance:";	
               values[] = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10};	
               texts[] = {"1000m","2000m","3000m","4000m","5000m","6000m","7000m","8000m","9000m","10000m"};	
               default = 3;	
       };	
       class Grass	
       {	
               title = "Grass Options";	
               values[] = {1,2,3};	
               texts[] = {"No Grass", "Medium", "High"};	
               default = 2;	
       };	
};

The above is not working for me, does anyone see anything obvious, or something that I missed? Im also using Beta 59025.

Thanks kju,

However I have already read that before posting, the mission and tutorial are not very good. I will continue to troubleshoot but as I said before if anyone can spot the obvious please let me know.

---------- Post added at 08:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 AM ----------

I have also tried using this in the init.sqf

if (isServer) then {
if (!isNil "param2") then {
	skiptime param2;
} else {
	skiptime 16;
};
};

if (isServer) then {
if (!isNil "param3") then {
	setviewdistance param3;
} else {
	setviewdistance 3000;
};
};

if (isServer) then {
if (!isNil "param4") then {
	setterraingrid param4;
} else {
	setterraingrid 25;
};
};

Also tried this:

skiptime (paramsArray select 2);

setviewdistance (paramsArray select 3);

setterraingrid (paramsArray select 4);

You can not use the commands param3, param4 etc.. You need to use the paramsArray command. What I usually do is put the parameter values in variables, it works much better.

You will not need the !isNil since the parameters will always have a value.

Just set the default value to what you want if the admin doesn't choose one.

Then do this.

viewdistvariable = paramsArray select 3;

Then use the variable to check the parameter value. Sometime it works fine checking the parameter array and sometimes it doesn't. So it's a good idea to use variables. I did that in the latest EVO~Blue, you can check that mission out if you want. It has 12 parameters.

Tophe tried your mission here the parameters don't even show up under the MP mission setup.

Im using beta 59025 Im assuming that is not the problem?

Here is my new description.ext:

You must have downloaded the wrong mission or done something weird..

Glad to hear you've got it working though.
