GetWorldTransform Crashing - Any workaround?

[GetWorldTransform Crashing - Any workaround?]

After some time messing around I find a quite easy workaround.

Option 1 is to use a reference object for the Transform which is an array with 4 positions, each one is a vector. 

ref EntitySpawnParams params = new EntitySpawnParams();
referenceObject.GetWorldTransform(params.Transform);

Second alternative is as follow

EntitySpawnParams params = EntitySpawnParams();
params.TransformMode = ETransformMode.WORLD;
params.Transform[0] = referenceObject.GetWorldTransformAxis(0);
params.Transform[1] = referenceObject.GetWorldTransformAxis(1);
params.Transform[2] = referenceObject.GetWorldTransformAxis(2);	
params.Transform[3] = referenceObject.GetOrigin();

Pretty clean...

 

Hope this helps someone else 😀

[Scenario in inconsistent state - Error with SCR_GroupsManagerComponent]

For some reason something happened to my scenario that was work in progress. It seems I accidentally done something that I cannot revert. It is almost like the scenario is in an inconsistent state and I can't find why.

 

When I run the scenario I get the error below:

   WORLD        : InitEntities 'world'
    ENTITY       : Init entity @"ENTITY:2305843009213693953" ('GameMode_Plain2', SCR_BaseGameMode) at <9543.469727 31.629999 1673.062012>
     SCRIPT    (E): NULL pointer to instance
Class:      'SCR_GroupsManagerComponent'
Function: 'EOnInit'
Stack trace:
scripts/Game/Groups/SCR_GroupsManagerComponent.c:655 Function EOnInit

It also shows the popup saying there is a script error, etc.

 

Then If I click to select the US group I get the following error in the console.

 

SCRIPT    (E): NULL pointer to instance

scripts/Game/UI/Menu/GameMode/SCR_DeployMenuTile.c:107 Function OnClick

 

I tried removing everything from the scenario and adding it from scratch. I get into the same error all the times.

Not sure if there is some type of caching that is going on... but it basically rendered my scenario unusable.

 

SRS_GroupsManagerComponent line 655 is as follows:

override void EOnInit(IEntity owner)
{
    SCR_AIGroup.GetOnPlayerAdded().Insert(OnGroupPlayerAdded); //655 is here
    SCR_AIGroup.GetOnPlayerRemoved().Insert(OnGroupPlayerRemoved);
    SCR_RespawnSystemComponent respawnSystem = SCR_RespawnSystemComponent.GetInstance();
    if (respawnSystem)
        respawnSystem.GetOnPlayerFactionChanged().Insert(OnPlayerFactionChanged);
    m_bConfirmedByPlayer = false;
}

 

I'm sure it is something simple, but just cant figure it out.

 

One more information that is useful. Using the same MOD, I created a new world again based on Eden. 

The second I add the GameMode Plain I get the very same error. If I create a new MOD from scratch I can make it work no problems.

 

Any help is appreciated.

[GetWorldTransform Crashing - Any workaround?]

Hi.

I wanted to have a custom action to my own prefab so that it will spawn a vehicle to a location. I created a paratemeter like below:

[Attribute()]
ref PointInfo spawnPoint;

 

This is very nice because It would give me referential location for the spawn point. 

Then I have the following code to get the spawn location.

private vector GetSpawnLocation()
{
  vector position;
  spawnPoint.GetWorldTransform(position);
  return position;
}

The crash occurs when I try to GetWorldTransform. It throws a memory access violation and crash the whole Workbench.

 

I can always use another object as a reference, for example:

IEntity entity = GetGame().GetWorld().FindEntityByName(spawnTarget);
return entity.GetOrigin();

But the problem is that this require me to know the name of the target object to copy the origin. Because I want to configure this on a prefab so that I can reuse the prefab everywhere I cannot rely on component name.

 

Any other workaround that I could use? Any thoughts?

 

Thank you!
