createDialog problem

McArcher · February 27, 2005

I have a problem with creating dialog.

I have dialogs, that I can show in game (for example vehicle purchase dialogs), and I can run them any times (once, twice, 3 times and so on). But have trouble with respawn dialog.

One of my dialogs - respawn dialog - is opened only in the first death. In further events of death it doesn't open, though the script, which calls it is executed (checked with globalChat command that it works). Why could that be?

Here's the script which calls the dialog:

// mca_onPlayerKilled.sqf
// version 1.0

private ["_caller"];
_caller = _this select 0;
_caller globalChat "I was killed.";//dbg
// Ð¿Ð¾ÑÐ»Ðµ ÑÐ¼ÐµÑ€Ñ‚Ð¸, Ð½Ð¾ Ð´Ð¾ Ñ€ÐµÑÐ¿Ð°, Ñ Ð½Ð° ÑÑ‚Ð¾Ñ€Ð¾Ð½Ðµ CIV, Ð½Ð¾ Ð·Ð½Ð°Ñ‡ÐµÐ½Ð¸Ðµ player ÑÐ¾Ñ…Ñ€Ð°Ð½ÑÐµÑ‚ÑÑ Ð·Ð°Ð´Ð°Ð½Ð½Ð¾Ð¼Ñƒ Ð² Ñ€ÐµÐ´Ð°ÐºÑ‚Ð¾Ñ€Ðµ (RU_player_1, Ð½Ð°Ð¿Ñ€Ð¸Ð¼ÐµÑ€)

if ( _caller in RU_players) then // Ð´Ð»Ñ Ñ€ÑƒÑÑÐºÐ¸Ñ…
{
if (dialog) then
{
	closeDialog 1;
};
createDialog "mca_respawn";
{
	lbAdd [101, _x] ;
} forEach mcti_fieldHospitals_ru;
{
	lbAdd [101, _x] ;
} forEach mcti_mashes_ru;
lbAdd [101, "Mobile Headquarters (MHQ)"];
lbSetCurSel [101, (lbSize 101) - 1]; //default selected is MHQ (last)
//waitUntil { !dialog };
sleep 5;
closeDialog 1;

};

and here's the dialog's .hpp:

class mca_respawn
{
name=mca_respawn;
idd=1;
movingEnable=1;
controlsBackground[]={ mca_respawn_bg, mca_respawn_bgf1, mca_respawn_bgf2, mca_respawn_bgf3, mca_respawn_bgf4 };
objects[]={};
controls[]={ mca_respawn_lb1, mca_respawn_title };

class mca_respawn_bg : RscBackground
{
	x = 0.1; y = 0.1; w = 0.8; h = 0.8;
};

class mca_respawn_bgf1 : RscBackground
{
	x = 0.1; y = 0.1; w = 0.8; h = 0.005;
};
class mca_respawn_bgf3 : RscBackground
{
	x = 0.1; y = 0.9-0.005; w = 0.8; h = 0.005;
};

class mca_respawn_bgf2 : RscBackground
{
	x = 0.1; y = 0.1; w = 0.005; h = 0.8-0.005;
};	
class mca_respawn_bgf4 : RscBackground
{
	x = 0.9-0.005; y = 0.1; w = 0.005; h = 0.8-0.005;
};

class mca_respawn_lb1 : RscListBox //List
{
	idc = 101;
	x = 0.1; y = 0.25; w = 0.35; h = 0.6;
	rows = 10; columns = 1;
	style = LB_TEXTURES;
};

class mca_respawn_title : RscText
{
	x = 0.2; y = 0.1; w = 0.5; h = 0.1; 
	text = "Select your Respawn Place"; 
};

};

I have added player check to script, now it doesn't write anything to .rpt, but dialog is still not created... why?

I think RU_players doesn't contain player. Note that unit before and after respawn isn't the same object! So in this array you have player's body not player.

McArcher · February 27, 2005

ok, I modified script, to see if it executed actually...

// mca_onPlayerKilled.sqf
// version 1.0

private ["_caller"];
_caller = _this select 0;
// Ð¿Ð¾ÑÐ»Ðµ ÑÐ¼ÐµÑ€Ñ‚Ð¸, Ð½Ð¾ Ð´Ð¾ Ñ€ÐµÑÐ¿Ð°, Ñ Ð½Ð° ÑÑ‚Ð¾Ñ€Ð¾Ð½Ðµ CIV, Ð½Ð¾ Ð·Ð½Ð°Ñ‡ÐµÐ½Ð¸Ðµ player ÑÐ¾Ñ…Ñ€Ð°Ð½ÑÐµÑ‚ÑÑ Ð·Ð°Ð´Ð°Ð½Ð½Ð¾Ð¼Ñƒ Ð² Ñ€ÐµÐ´Ð°ÐºÑ‚Ð¾Ñ€Ðµ (RU_player_1, Ð½Ð°Ð¿Ñ€Ð¸Ð¼ÐµÑ€)

if (not isServer) then
{
if (player == _caller) then
{

	if ( _caller in RU_players) then // Ð´Ð»Ñ Ñ€ÑƒÑÑÐºÐ¸Ñ…
	{
		_caller globalChat "I was killed.";//dbg
		if (dialog) then
		{
			closeDialog 1;
		};
		createDialog "mca_respawn";
		{
			lbAdd [101, _x] ;
		} forEach mcti_fieldHospitals_ru;
		{
			lbAdd [101, _x] ;
		} forEach mcti_mashes_ru;
		lbAdd [101, "Mobile Headquarters (MHQ)"];
		lbSetCurSel [101, (lbSize 101) - 1]; //default selected is MHQ (last)
		sleep 5;
		closeDialog 1;
		waitUntil { !dialog };
		_caller globalChat "Dialog is closed now.";//dbg

	};

};

};

and... it doesn't show text second time I'm killed.

so... I have another question then...

as I have learned, when I am killed I am on CIV (side command shows civilians side), how do I know that I am east or west ?

I added player check:

// mca_onPlayerKilled.sqf
// version 1.0

private ["_caller"];
_caller = _this select 0;
// Ð¿Ð¾ÑÐ»Ðµ ÑÐ¼ÐµÑ€Ñ‚Ð¸, Ð½Ð¾ Ð´Ð¾ Ñ€ÐµÑÐ¿Ð°, Ñ Ð½Ð° ÑÑ‚Ð¾Ñ€Ð¾Ð½Ðµ CIV, Ð½Ð¾ Ð·Ð½Ð°Ñ‡ÐµÐ½Ð¸Ðµ player ÑÐ¾Ñ…Ñ€Ð°Ð½ÑÐµÑ‚ÑÑ Ð·Ð°Ð´Ð°Ð½Ð½Ð¾Ð¼Ñƒ Ð² Ñ€ÐµÐ´Ð°ÐºÑ‚Ð¾Ñ€Ðµ (RU_player_1, Ð½Ð°Ð¿Ñ€Ð¸Ð¼ÐµÑ€)

if (not isServer) then
{
if (player == _caller) then
{
	_caller globalChat format ["_caller=%1, side _caller=%2, RU_players=%3, I'm in RU_players=%4", _caller, side _caller, RU_players, (_caller in RU_players)];//dbg	
	_caller globalChat format ["player=%1, side player=%2, RU_players=%3, I'm in RU_players=%4", player, side player, RU_players, (player in RU_players)];//dbg	
	if ( _caller in RU_players) then // Ð´Ð»Ñ Ñ€ÑƒÑÑÐºÐ¸Ñ…
	{
		_caller globalChat "Starting Dialog.";//dbg
		if (dialog) then
		{
			closeDialog 1;
		};
		createDialog "mca_respawn";
		{
			lbAdd [101, _x] ;
		} forEach mcti_fieldHospitals_ru;
		{
			lbAdd [101, _x] ;
		} forEach mcti_mashes_ru;
		lbAdd [101, "Mobile Headquarters (MHQ)"];
		lbSetCurSel [101, (lbSize 101) - 1]; //default selected is MHQ (last)
		sleep 5;
		closeDialog 1;
		waitUntil { !dialog };
		_caller globalChat "Dialog is closed now.";//dbg

	};

};

};

both, first and second times OF DEATH it says player=_caller=RU_player_1, but 1st time I'm in array, but second time I'm not in array... why?

RU_player_1 is in array in mission's init.sqf.

---------- Post added at 00:18 ---------- Previous post was at 00:15 ----------

// players ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
RU_players = [RU_player_1, RU_player_2, RU_player_3, RU_player_4, RU_player_5, RU_player_6, RU_player_7, RU_player_8, RU_player_9, RU_player_10, RU_player_11, RU_player_12, RU_player_13, RU_player_14, RU_player_15];

publicVariable "RU_players";

it is in init.sqf of mission

---------- Post added at 00:20 ---------- Previous post was at 00:18 ----------

how can I know MY SIDE ? (not CIV, as globalChat says)

---------- Post added at 00:21 ---------- Previous post was at 00:20 ----------

well, I can use a my_side global variable, setting it on mission start, but not publishing it with publicVariable, can I ?

Przemek_kondor · January 10, 2007

RU_player_1 is in array in mission's init.sqf.

No, after 1st death and respawn, RU_player_1 is not in this array. Because then you have body in array instead of respawned player (which is new object).

You have to update this array after every respawn or find other solution.

Maybe put in this array classes (which are always constant, even after death) of RU soldier and check:

(type _caller) == RU_soldier_class

McArcher · February 27, 2005

can I use my_side variable without publishing it? (this method works now, but I'm not sure that this variable is really not broadcasted somehow to others. Who knows what OFP engine will show us next second? =) )

---------- Post added at 00:34 ---------- Previous post was at 00:31 ----------

I define this variable in client's script (with isServer check).
