Sqs to sqf

[kadinx 12]

Hello Gentlemen

I am slowly making the turn to sqf format but I have been procrastinating as much as I can due to "internal" resistance to new stuff!!

Finally, one of my favorite sqs script needs to be converted because of timing issues. It needs to be checked much more frequently and I have read that the way to go is to convert it to sqf format.

I have learned how to pre process and execute them but I still very perplexed on how to convert one.

I am not quite sure if I should post this here but after about a week of failed attempts, I think I need help. Even if just to point me in the right direction.

So the script is as follows:

---------------------------------------------

;check if the mission ended

?(forceGameOver):exit

[] exec "music.sqs"

_player = _this select 0

_killer = _this select 1

_camera = "camera" camCreate getPos _player

_camera cameraEffect ["internal","back"]

showcinemaborder False

titleText ["You have been killed!!","Plain"];titleFadeOut 5

;===

_camera camSetTarget _player

_camera camSetRelPos [1.00,-1.00,0.00]

_camera camSetFOV 0.700

_camera camCommit 0

@camCommitted _camera

? (_killer != _killer or _killer == _player) : goto "suicide"

;===

_camera camSetTarget _killer

_camera camSetRelPos [2.00,2.00,2.00]

_camera camSetFOV 1.000

_camera camCommit 5

@camCommitted _camera

;===

_camera camSetTarget _player

_camera camSetRelPos [-15.00,15.00,10.00]

_camera camSetFOV 1.000

_camera camCommit 4

@camCommitted _camera

goto "exit"

#suicide

;===

_camera camSetTarget _player

_camera camSetRelPos [4.00,-4.00,4.00]

_camera camSetFOV 1.000

_camera camCommit 3

@camCommitted _camera

;=========

_camera camSetTarget _player

_camera camSetRelPos [-15.00,15.00,10.00]

_camera camSetFOV 1.000

_camera camCommit 6

@camCommitted _camera

goto "exit"

#exit

;check if the mission ended

?(forceGameOver):exit

TitleText ["Death Penalty: 2 points!","BLACK OUT",5];titleFadeOut 1

~6

player cameraEffect ["terminate","back"]

camDestroy _camera

exit

--------------------------------------------------------------

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :o

This is good stuff. I got to learn to be more patient with my searches. Right in front of me :(

My apologies!

Many thanks kju.

Hi :)

this is only one (sqf) example for your script:

private ["_player","_killer","_camera"];

{_x = objNull} foreach [_player,_killer,_camera];

if(!(forceGameOver)) then
{
[] exec "music.sqs";

_player = _this select 0;
_killer = _this select 1;
_camera = "camera" camCreate getPos _player;
_camera cameraEffect ["internal","back"];
showcinemaborder False;
titleText ["You have been killed!!","Plain"];titleFadeOut 5;

_camera camSetTarget _player;
_camera camSetRelPos [1.00,-1.00,0.00];
_camera camSetFOV 0.700;
_camera camCommit 0;
waituntil{camCommitted _camera};

if((_killer != _killer) || (_killer == _player)) then
{
	_camera camSetTarget _player;
	_camera camSetRelPos [4.00,-4.00,4.00];
	_camera camSetFOV 1.000;
	_camera camCommit 3;
	waituntil{camCommitted _camera};

	_camera camSetTarget _player;
	_camera camSetRelPos [-15.00,15.00,10.00];
	_camera camSetFOV 1.000;
	_camera camCommit 6;
	waituntil{camCommitted _camera};
}
else
{
	_camera camSetTarget _killer;
	_camera camSetRelPos [2.00,2.00,2.00];
	_camera camSetFOV 1.000;
	_camera camCommit 5;
	waituntil{camCommitted _camera};

	_camera camSetTarget _player;
	_camera camSetRelPos [-15.00,15.00,10.00];
	_camera camSetFOV 1.000;
	_camera camCommit 4;
	waituntil{camCommitted _camera};
};
if(!(forceGameOver)) then
{
	TitleText ["Death Penalty: 2 points!","BLACK OUT",5];titleFadeOut 1;
	sleep 6;
	player cameraEffect ["terminate","back"];
	camDestroy _camera;
};
};

Many thanks for you script I am going to try it right now.

Since the last post from kju I have managed another working version:

----------------------------------------------------------

//execute only on humans and game has not ended?

If (!(isServer) || !(isNull player) ||!(forceGameover) || (gameStarted)) then { call deathview;};

deathview={

private ["_player","_killer","_camera"];

_player=_this select 0;

_killer=_this select 1;

_camera="camera" camCreate getpos _player;

_camera cameraEffect ["internal","back"];

showcinemaborder False;

titleText ["You have been killed!!","Plain"];titleFadeOut 5;

0 fademusic 1;

_music = ["aa_crescendo_i","aa_death_01_south","aa_death_02_south","aa_death_10_north","aa_death_03_south","aa_death_06_rocktheme_iii","aa_death_07_rocktheme_iii"];

_final=_music call RandomSelect;

playMusic _final;

_camera camSetTarget _player;

_camera camSetRelPos [1.00,-1.00,0.00];

_camera camSetFOV 0.700;

_camera camCommit 0;

waitUntil {camCommitted _camera};

if (_killer != _killer || _killer == _player) then

{

_camera camSetTarget _player;

_camera camSetRelPos [4.00,-4.00,4.00];

_camera camSetFOV 1.000;

_camera camCommit 3;

waitUntil {camCommitted _camera};

_camera camSetTarget _player;

_camera camSetRelPos [-15.00,15.00,10.00];

_camera camSetFOV 1.000;

_camera camCommit 6;

waitUntil {camCommitted _camera};

}

else

{

_camera camSetTarget _killer;

_camera camSetRelPos [2.00,2.00,2.00];

_camera camSetFOV 1.000;

_camera camCommit 5;

waitUntil {camCommitted _camera};

_camera camSetTarget _player;

_camera camSetRelPos [-15.00,15.00,10.00];

_camera camSetFOV 1.000;

_camera camCommit 4;

waitUntil {camCommitted _camera};

};

TitleText ["Death Penalty: 2 points!","BLACK OUT",5];titleFadeOut 1;

sleep 6;

player cameraEffect ["terminate","back"];

camDestroy _camera;

};

-----------------------------------------------------

Since I was at it I incorporated the music.sqs script and another parameter for the script not to kick in when an intro is still running.

I am going to try your version and learn some more.

Thank you very much.

After further testing, your version is better. I am adding the new consolidation changes, the startup parameter and one for the script not to run on a dedicated server and KEEPING IT .

>-------thank you-------<

[11_harley_11 0]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me what to put in the music.sqs mentioned above? I have no idea what code to put in it in order to play my custom track on player death.

Also, should the .sqf above be called onPlayerKilled.sqf?

[kadinx 12]

The name of the sqf could be anything you like but you need to call it somehow. I have added this line in the init.sqf

player addEventHandler ["KILLED",{_this execVM "onplayerDeath.sqf"}];

you can place this code in the music.sqs:

_music = ["aa_crescendo_i","aa_death_01_south","aa_death_02_ south","aa_death_10_north","aa_death_03_south","aa _death_06_rocktheme_iii","aa_death_07_rocktheme_ii i"]

_final=_music call bis_fnc_selectrandom

playMusic _final

When this script is executed, it will play a random ogg file from the list. All these .ogg files have to be registered properly in your description.ext file and physically exist in a subfolder (named with lower case characters) in your mission file.

Ahh ok, thanks for your help!

I ended up finding and extracting the onplayerkilled.sqf from the CA.pbo as I was having some issues with the code above. This below works great coz I can get rid of the nasty red effect as well... only thing is when I change the 'playmusic' to reflect my track which is in a music folder I don't hear the track when I die, I strangle only hear it when I switch to the next playable unit. :confused: Do I still need the music.sqs? I have it listed in the description.ext

I am not familiar with the function of this sqf but your are looking for the following command

# fademusic 1

#=number of seconds to put up or bring down the volume

fademusic=command that alters the music sound

1=Full volume

0=No volume

[11_harley_11 0]

Ahh you're brilliant, thanks heaps. I set all the fades to 0.5 and its perfect!
