I'm trying to see find the text message function, I'd like to send global text messages to everyone with details as part of a mission. Is anyone familiar with this function?

Spent several nights sifting through your code and trying to understand it, thanks to you I now have a understanding of the necessity of functions! You were right about the Displayname and Picture after some help from some veteran guys on the discord and forums I have got there. I really liked the fact you pulled the weapon stats from the VA, is that a generic picture in each weapons cfg? I couldn't find anything to point me in that direction, my biggest fear is that it is pulled as individual lines.

Pierre, I have finally come back to attempting this AND I succeeded!! More reading and understanding the knowledge provided got the results required. I have a further question to make sure I am being as efficient as possible. Can I load multiple "Uinamespaces" for multiple controls under the same class?

Thanks Pier, I will test it later on, would that be more efficient then doing an InitPost?

Ok Haleks, I will test it again later on and feedback the results. The Shop Addon being the one I have been working on for about 2 months now that I asked you about :P.

What is everyone's experience with MP Persistent save? Tried it for the first time while testing the Ravage Shop Addon - it caused huge server lag and desync issues which rendered it unplayable. Remove persistence Mp saves and it worked without issues.

Hi Guys, I have written a HoldAddaction script (below) which returns all the dead Opfor units and applies the action, this is in the init.sqf. It functions as intended for SP&MP use for placed Units. If any units are dynamically spawned via other scripts/mods then this will not function on these units. Is this because the If/Then script has only initialised once when server is created and then for each player? I have tried using a While/Do loop but due to the tick time if will continuously add a new HoldAddAction for each time it ticks which obviously kills the frames, I'm looking for a way for this to loop every so often to ensure the newly spawned units inherit this HoldAddAction.

Thanks Larrow, So instead of using the Array, I should've been calling ForEach. Thanks Man!

@Larrow Could I pick your brain on an old thread? Using the above information, I have managed to fire the handler when it has taken by east (the easy part!), I thought if I created an array then it would apply to all sectors, obviously there is a clear error. Could I ask for some guidance? Essentially the plan is everytime owner is changed to East on any sector - Reinforcement's would head to that sector as a waypoint, This script will be called in the above If/Then. Would I need to use _this select 0 to call the sector module in the below?

Have you tried Eventhandler Killer? That seems like it would function completely as required. Player who killed zombie gets money?

Daimen, What are you trying to achieve? Zombie Dead = Give player money? If this is the case then maybe consider using: { if (side _x isEqualTo EAST) then //East being the side the Zombies are on - this will obviously run whenever an enemy on the East Side is killed. { _x addEventHandler ["Killed", {execvm "money.sqf"}]; }; } forEach allUnits; No matter what you are looking for I think you might need to be using an Eventhandler unless Z&D's uses a completely different created function.

This info helped me cure an issue I didn't understand! I am now having the same issue with Hitzone although the RScShortcutbutton contains it?

Thanks again for the comprehensive answers, using all the above information (and your examples) to recreate this so I can understand the process. Using the above when I call '_handle= createdialog "JDoe_file";' I am expecting a picture to display of the present weapon. At this stage when I call the dialog, I have the mouse pointer and nothing else. Am I right in thinking calling the dialog would populate the picture? Just for clarity using the above information could you cast your eyes over the below? // (TBH the defines.hpp I'm sure is fine but I put it up as a just in case, also the Description.ext is pre-compiling both defines.hpp & testdefines.hpp with #include) When I was doing further reading on the above information, I was going through Killzone Kids tutorials and I saw a post from you 3 years ago asking about CTRLSetText - clearly you've done a lot of testing since! Defines.hpp: Testdefines.hpp: Init.Sqf:

I added a function layer 2 to the currency layer and now whenever I open/close GUI's it will always stay ontop, thats why I asked! Currency Icon completely functional now! A couple of questions regarding the additional information you provided. _unit_1Wpn_icon = getText (configfile >> "cfgWeapons" >> primaryWeapon player >> "picture"); // I guess '_unit_1Wpn_icon' is just a random name you have given to this? If we were to make it functional with below then it would need to match the variable and control which would be 'JDoe_1wpn'? my control class is inherited in fact : // I think now understand the functionalities of inheritance, the inheritance must already be defined in the defines.hpp, do you simply change the inheritance with the ' JDoe_1wpn: RscPicture' ? So if i wanted to change it to text for example it would be 'JDoe_1wpn: RscText ' ? Additionally in the dialog how would you call the inheritance? As an example dialogs.hpp below would you just match IDC to the Control? class Shop_dialog { IDD = -1; movingenable=false; class Controls { class InfoBox: RscText { idc = 1800; // So I'd just match this IDC to the control in our defines.hpp to call it - this would then populate said box within the dialog wit the previously stated control? x = 0.329375 * safezoneW + safezoneX; y = 0.318 * safezoneH + safezoneY; w = 0.315 * safezoneW; h = 0.476 * safezoneH; }; //////////////////////////////////// class JDoe_file // the global display { idd = -1; duration = 100000; fadein = 0; fadeout = 0; name="JDoe_file_display"; onLoad = "uiNamespace setVariable ['JDoe_Data', _this select 0]"; // This variable is the same variable used for getvariable? in this instance is _this select 0 referring to the player? controls[]= { JDoe_1wpn, ....... }; // all controls are declared here (and probably order is a way to be displayed with priority, I don't remember ascending or descending) class JDoe_1wpn: RscPicture // one of the controls (displaying the primary weapon picture - Note the inheritance to RscPicture standard control class { idc = 2400; x = 0.02 * safezoneW + safezoneX; y = 0.46 * safezoneH + safezoneY; w = 0.07 * safezoneW; h = 0.035*4/3 * safezoneH; }; }; Ultimately how would I call this above dialog using uiNamespace? Example if it were in an addAction . sqf then would it be simply 'uiNamespace getVariable "JDoe_Data" displaycontrol 2400 ctrlSetText ""+str(JDoe_Data);' Thanks for the wiki links before I had read them but it wasn't until you provided this info I started to really understand it and once again thanks for your help Pierre.
