    Tying a trigger to a date

    serena replied to Catchdog64's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING

    Checking trigger conditions and unscheduled environment in which it is running apparently gives some strong guarantees of timely execution :/ It is a pity that we can not do something like this: setThreadPriority "REALTIME" :) P.S. Another funny moment: when the game performance falls so much that the scripts stop working, the last thing you think about is: "why is the sleeping script that is supposed to launch the spawn of the super-invasion force, fires 5 seconds later?" XDD

    Tying a trigger to a date

    serena replied to Catchdog64's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING

    Technically this can happen. The question is, how likely is it practically and how much will the gap be. I regularly use this approach and it always works perfectly. Maybe you're right, and I'll once face such a problem :)

    Tying a trigger to a date

    serena replied to Catchdog64's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING

    Ehh, you're right. Trigger condition is checked every 0.5 sec, waitUntil condition is every 0.0166 sec - 60 times per second. :) For task that is solved in this particular case, there is not much difference, the thread will wake up exactly after 100500.000 seconds or after 100500.001 seconds. Right? Why?

    Tying a trigger to a date

    serena replied to Catchdog64's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING

    When you do this game will check this condition 60 times each second until condition not satisfied. You can also create thread sleeping until date/time you want: SleepUntilDate = { sleep (60 * 60 * 24 * 365 * (dateToNumber _this - dateToNumber date) / timeMultiplier)}; // Usage: [2035,5,28,13,37] call SleepUntilDate;

    sleep vs uiSleep

    serena replied to ShadowRanger24's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING

    Dialogs defined with enableSimulation = 0 blocks game simulation until closed. If you need your script to continue working in such cases use uiSleep. In other cases sleep is the right choice.

    waitUntil {time > 0}; private _tsp = player createSimpleTask ["Parent"]; private _tsc = player createSimpleTask ["Child", _tsp]; player addAction ["Complete Parent Task", { params ["_trg", "_clr", "_aid", "_arg"]; _trg removeAction _aid; _arg setTaskState "Succeeded" }, _tsp]; player addAction ["Complete Child Task", { params ["_trg", "_clr", "_aid", "_arg"]; _trg removeAction _aid; _arg setTaskState "Succeeded" }, _tsc]; Sample mission (VR map, two actions to complete parent and child task) - just tested and works fine

    Briefly: use BIS_fnc_taskCreate to create tasks and BIS_fnc_taskSetState to update and everything will work.

    [Release] Infinite Inventory

    serena replied to celludriel's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING

    Variables with names beginning with an underscore are local. Local variables exist only in the scope where they are defined. More information: #Local_Variables

    Updated to killzone_kid variant: CivilianKillers = []; if (isServer) then { addMissionEventHandler ["EntityKilled", { params ["_vct", "_klr"]; if (_vct isKindOf "CAManBase" and {side group _vct isEqualTo CIVILIAN}) then { private _dta = CivilianKillers; private _rec = {if (_x select 0 isEqualTo _klr) exitWith {_x}} forEach _dta; if (isNil {_rec}) then {_rec = [_klr, 1]; _dta pushBack _rec} else {_rec set [1, (_rec select 1) + 1]} } }]; }; Sample mission

    The simpler - the better, I think: // init.sqf CivilianKillers = []; if (isServer) then { { if (side _x == CIVILIAN) then { _x addEventHandler ["Killed", { params ["_vct", "_klr"]; private _dta = CivilianKillers; private _rec = {if (_x select 0 isEqualTo _klr) exitWith {_x}} forEach _dta; if (isNil {_rec}) then {_rec = [_klr, 1]; _dta pushBack _rec} else {_rec set [1, (_rec select 1) + 1]} }] } } foreach allUnits; }; player addAction ["List Civilian Killers", { { _x params ["_unt", "_cnt"]; systemChat format ["%1 killed %2 civilian(s)", _unt, _cnt] } forEach CivilianKillers }]; player addAction ["Count Killed Civilians", { private _cnt = 0; {_cnt = _cnt + (_x select 1)} forEach CivilianKillers; systemChat format ["Civilians killed: %1", _cnt] }]; Sample mission: link

    inputAction

    serena replied to Bnae's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING

    private _active = {inputAction _x > 0} count ["ReloadMagazine", "Throw", "MiniMap"] > 0; * measurements have shown that the shortest variant is also the fastest

    basic script help

    serena replied to scottdog62's topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING

    Try this: // in group leader init field _tmp = (group this) execVM "myscript.sqf"; // in myscript.sqf file { _x setUnitPos "UP"; //_x disableAI "FSM"; // if you uncomment this line then units probably wont move _x disableAI "Cover"; _x disableAi "SUPPRESION"; } forEach units _this; _this setSpeedMode "FUll"; while {{alive _x} count units _this > 0} do { sleep 5; _this setCombatMode "BLUE"; sleep 5; _this setCombatMode "RED"; };

    I'll look at you guys when BI officially announces that they are working on a brand new engine for Arma IV with superphysics for attached objects. P.S. About editing. Interior interaction script in my signature allow to move and stack objects. Сan be useful.

    Undeceived, why so hopeless? The chance to meet a dinosaur is pretty good, 50/50: either meet or not XD

    Undeceived, what is the chance to meet a dinosaur on the street? XD

    If you do not know which way to go any direction is correct XD If it's convenient for you and does not worsen performance of the game, then why not?

    1. Select all groups where side = WEST and distance to marker < 100m private _groups = allGroups select {side _x == WEST and {leader _x distance getMarkerPos "_marker" < 100}}; 2. Delete units and groups: {{deleteVehicle _x} forEach units _x; deleteGroup _x} forEach _groups; 3. All together: {{deleteVehicle _x} forEach units _x; deleteGroup _x} forEach (allGroups select {side _x == WEST and {leader _x distance getMarkerPos "_marker" < 100}}); * code fixed * test mission: link
