kylania 568 Posted September 15, 2009 The first two elements of the paramsArray are param1 and param2, so in your init example you'd want to have: setViewDistance (paramsArray select 2); //this works setTerrainGrid (paramsArray select 3); //this works enableEnvironment (paramsarray select 4); //this should work now skiptime (paramsArray select 5); //this should work now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cobra4v320 27 Posted September 15, 2009 (edited) @kylania That is correct however if you are using the new Class Params, param1 and param2 should be called by paramsArray 0 and paramsArray 1. When I use your method none of them work anymore. It looks like I will be using this for a while until I can figure it out. viewparam = (paramsArray select 0); if (viewparam == 0) then {setViewDistance 1000}; if (viewparam == 1) then {setViewDistance 2000}; if (viewparam == 2) then {setViewDistance 3000}; if (viewparam == 3) then {setViewDistance 4000}; if (viewparam == 4) then {setViewDistance 5000}; if (viewparam == 5) then {setViewDistance 6000}; if (viewparam == 6) then {setViewDistance 7000}; if (viewparam == 7) then {setViewDistance 8000}; if (viewparam == 8) then {setViewDistance 9000}; if (viewparam == 9) then {setViewDistance 10000}; grassparam = (paramsArray select 1); if (grassparam == 0) then {setTerrainGrid 50}; if (grassparam == 1) then {setTerrainGrid 25}; if (grassparam == 2) then {setTerrainGrid 12.5}; if (grassparam == 3) then {setTerrainGrid 6.25}; if (grassparam == 4) then {setTerrainGrid 3.125}; environment = (paramsarray select 2); if (environment == 0) then {enableEnvironment true}; if (environment == 1) then {enableEnvironment false}; timeparam = (paramsArray select 3); if (timeparam == 0) then {skiptime 0}; if (timeparam == 1) then {skiptime 1}; if (timeparam == 2) then {skiptime 2}; if (timeparam == 3) then {skiptime 3}; if (timeparam == 4) then {skiptime 4}; if (timeparam == 5) then {skiptime 5}; if (timeparam == 6) then {skiptime 6}; if (timeparam == 7) then {skiptime 7}; if (timeparam == 8) then {skiptime 8}; if (timeparam == 9) then {skiptime 9}; if (timeparam == 10) then {skiptime 10}; if (timeparam == 11) then {skiptime 11}; if (timeparam == 12) then {skiptime 12}; if (timeparam == 13) then {skiptime 13}; if (timeparam == 14) then {skiptime 14}; if (timeparam == 15) then {skiptime 15}; if (timeparam == 16) then {skiptime 16}; if (timeparam == 17) then {skiptime 17}; if (timeparam == 18) then {skiptime 18}; if (timeparam == 19) then {skiptime 19}; if (timeparam == 20) then {skiptime 20}; if (timeparam == 21) then {skiptime 21}; if (timeparam == 22) then {skiptime 22}; if (timeparam == 23) then {skiptime 23}; Edited September 15, 2009 by cobra4v320 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike84 1 Posted September 15, 2009 There's already a perfect tutorial here. And if you look at the bottom you can see where the problems lie with this new system, which will probably be fixed by BIS in a future beta batch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cobra4v320 27 Posted September 15, 2009 Thanks Mike84 for the reply, I have already read that tutorial and tried the mission. The parameters in that mission do not work. The parameters I posted at the top and the init.sqf file I posted all work 100%. I was just looking for a way to consolidate the scripting down to something simpler.

So you tested your script on a mphost and on a dedicated server? Reason I ask is because the example mission on ofpec only worked on a dedicated server because there is a bug in the new params system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

larsiano 12 Posted March 20, 2010 First off im terribly sorry to dig up such an old treath!! I was working on multiplayer parameters for my mission and experienced the same problems as described above. The problem of non working MPparameters still exists. Has a solution been found by now for this little problem? I'm very new to mission scripting and really need your help on this one! init.sqf: viewparam = (paramsArray select 0); if (viewparam == 0) then {setViewDistance 1000}; if (viewparam == 1) then {setViewDistance 2000}; if (viewparam == 2) then {setViewDistance 3000}; if (viewparam == 3) then {setViewDistance 4000}; if (viewparam == 4) then {setViewDistance 5000}; if (viewparam == 5) then {setViewDistance 6000}; if (viewparam == 6) then {setViewDistance 7000}; if (viewparam == 7) then {setViewDistance 8000}; if (viewparam == 8) then {setViewDistance 9000}; if (viewparam == 9) then {setViewDistance 10000}; grassparam = (paramsArray select 1); if (grassparam == 0) then {setTerrainGrid 50}; if (grassparam == 1) then {setTerrainGrid 25}; if (grassparam == 2) then {setTerrainGrid 12.5}; if (grassparam == 3) then {setTerrainGrid 6.25}; if (grassparam == 4) then {setTerrainGrid 3.125}; environment = (paramsarray select 2); if (environment == 0) then {enableEnvironment true}; if (environment == 1) then {enableEnvironment false}; timeparam = (paramsArray select 3); if (timeparam == 0) then {skiptime 0}; if (timeparam == 1) then {skiptime 1}; if (timeparam == 2) then {skiptime 2}; if (timeparam == 3) then {skiptime 3}; if (timeparam == 4) then {skiptime 4}; if (timeparam == 5) then {skiptime 5}; if (timeparam == 6) then {skiptime 6}; if (timeparam == 7) then {skiptime 7}; if (timeparam == 8) then {skiptime 8}; if (timeparam == 9) then {skiptime 9}; if (timeparam == 10) then {skiptime 10}; if (timeparam == 11) then {skiptime 11}; if (timeparam == 12) then {skiptime 12}; if (timeparam == 13) then {skiptime 13}; if (timeparam == 14) then {skiptime 14}; if (timeparam == 15) then {skiptime 15}; if (timeparam == 16) then {skiptime 16}; if (timeparam == 17) then {skiptime 17}; if (timeparam == 18) then {skiptime 18}; if (timeparam == 19) then {skiptime 19}; if (timeparam == 20) then {skiptime 20}; if (timeparam == 21) then {skiptime 21}; if (timeparam == 22) then {skiptime 22}; if (timeparam == 23) then {skiptime 23}; description.ext ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // Description file for Armed Assault 2 // Created by: Lars ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// class Header { gameType = TEAM; minPlayers = 1; maxPlayers = 62; playerCountMultipleOf = 1; }; // === Respawn ===============================================> respawn=3; respawndelay=10; respawnDialog=1; titleParam1 = "Time limit:"; valuesParam1[] = {0, 900, 1800, 2700, 3600, 5400, 7200}; defValueParam1 = 3600; textsParam1[] = {"Unlimited", "15 min", "30 min", "45 min", "60 min", "90 min", "120 min"}; titleParam2 = "Score to win:"; valuesParam2[] = {10000, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300}; defValueParam2 = 100; textsParam2[] = {"Unlimited", 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300}; class Params { class View { //paramsArray[0] title="View Distance"; values[]={1000,2000,3000,4000,5000,6000,7000,8000,9000,10000}; texts[]={"1000m","2000m","3000m","4000m","5000m","6000m","7000m","8000m","9000m","10000m"}; default = 3000; }; class Grass { //paramsArray[1] title="Grass"; values[]={50,25,12.5,6.25,3.125}; texts[]={"No Grass","Default MP","Default SP","More","Max"}; default = 12.5; }; class Environment { //paramsArray[2] title="Enable Environment"; values[]={true,false}; texts[]={"True","False"}; default = true; }; class Missiontime { //paramsArray[3] title="Time Of Day"; values[]={0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23}; texts[]={"00:00","01:00","02:00","03:00","04:00","05:00","06:00","07:00","08:00","09:00","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"}; default=11; }; }; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shuko 59 Posted March 20, 2010 You shouldn't just copy paste stuff without knowing how it works. I'm not going to fix the whole thing since it will be better if you figure out how to do it yourself. Here's an example: class View { title="View Distance"; values[]={1000,2000,3000,4000,5000,6000,7000,8000,9000,100 00}; texts[]={"1000m","2000m","3000m","4000m","5000m","6000m","7000m","8000m","9000m","10000m"}; default = 3000; }; You have tons of useless IF lines like viewparam == 1 etc, which actually do nothing. None of them will ever be true as the values given in desc.ext are from 1000 to 10000. So, we can replace those 11 lines with just: setViewDistance (paramsArray select 0); It sets viewdistance to the value selected in parameters, no IF stuff required.

cobra4v320 27 Posted August 3, 2010 Can anyone tell me why this does not work? init.sqf enableEnvironment (paramsarray select 0); description.ext class Params { class Environment { title = "Enable Environment"; values[] = {0, 1}; texts[] = {"False","True"}; default = 0; }; }; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shuko 59 Posted August 3, 2010 Because the command takes a boolean (true/false) and you are giving it a number (0/1). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cobra4v320 27 Posted August 3, 2010 So I have also tried below but that does not work either. class Params { class Environment { title = "Enable Environment"; values[] = {false, true}; texts[] = {"False","True"}; default = false; }; }; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shuko 59 Posted August 3, 2010 That's because BIS don't want to fix/change the feature where you can use 1/0 as true/false for the desc.ext options. So, just do: class Params { class Environment { title = "Enable Environment"; values[] = {0, 1}; texts[] = {"False","True"}; default = 0; }; }; if ((paramsarray select 0) == 1) then { enableEnvironment true; }; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HateDread 13 Posted August 8, 2010 Thanks a lot for the info, guys. How does one establish a parameter setting the time the mission will run for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muzzleflash 111 Posted August 8, 2010 Another technique I saw while poking through AAS (I think) is dynamically assigning the parameters to the values itself: if (isNil "paramsArray") then { if (isClass (missionConfigFile/"Params")) then { for "_i" from 0 to (count (missionConfigFile/"Params") - 1) do { _paramName = configName ((missionConfigFile >> "Params") select _i); _paramValue = getNumber (missionConfigFile >> "Params" >> _paramName >> "default"); call compile format ["%1 = %2", _paramName, _paramValue]; }; }; } else { for "_i" from 0 to (count paramsArray - 1) do { _paramName = configName ((missionConfigFile >> "Params") select _i); _paramValue = paramsArray select _i; call compile format ["%1 = %2", _paramName, _paramValue]; }; }; Lets say you have: class P_TimeOfDay { title = "Time of Day"; values[] = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23}; texts[] = {,"00.00","01.00","02.00","03.00","04.00","05.00","06.00","07.00","08.00","09.00","10.00","11.00","12.00","13.00","14.00","15.00","16.00","17.00","1800","19.00","20.00","21.00","22.00","23.00"}; default = 12; }; Then in your script you can just do for example: skipTime P_TimeOfDay; If you run using the editor the parameters default to the default values. I like this method better than the index selecting, and think it is more readable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
