It's hard to guess what you want, but could you explain what var1, var2, var3 are? Are they controls i.e. Static Text? Perhaps you should post your dialog class (not the whole description.ext! or a picture of your dialog, so I know better what your problem is.

Hi Connor, it is not possible (not yet?) to parse OFP strings. But with some workarounds (and I mean real workarounds) it is possible to parse a string from an edit box. This is from a "string library" that I am working on: </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> #monitor _text = ctrlText STDIN @_text != ctrlText STDIN || !dialog ?!dialog: exit _char = ctrlText STDIN ctrlSetText [STDIN, ""] glBUFFER = glBUFFER + [_char] goto "monitor" <span id='postcolor'> It works like following: It monitors the edit box (STDIN is the idc) and waits for a change. If a change was made, it reads the char (_char) that was typed into the box and pushes it to an array (here glBUFFER). After the char is read, the editbox is immediately cleared (ctrlSetText [sTDIN, ""]) so you can't type in more than one char (actually you can "cheat" by pressing two keys together) So, you get an array of char i.e. ["H", "E", "L", "L", "O"] that you can parse yourself. Length of the string is obviously </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> length = count StringArray <span id='postcolor'> You may either implement string manipulation functions yourself, or wait until I release my "library".

Yes, that must be the fountain that you find on the main place in Lipany on Nogova! That's a really mean trick!

I think BIS would have to make a whole new addon package like Resistance that uses new functions (patch) or units/islands, so you may play the missions only with this new addon. A standalone mission pack could be copied without problems.

Hi all, thought that this is of interest for some people console screenshot Download it here console.zip It includes one simple console, and a console with history function. Usage is explained in readme

Hi all, I've got following problem: I want to create my own p3d-model for some 3D-Dialogs. Well I modelled a simple device with the selection "display" where my dialog shall be drawed on. I created my pbo with config, textures and p3d and put it in addons. I called the addon "vb_device" where "device.p3d" is the device model. I created my dialog ressource with object="\vb_device\device.p3d" and a CT_OBJECT_CONTAINER. Now when I try to create that dialog OFP crashes to the desktop without any detailed message what actually happened. Anyone who tried something similar?

This time I have to agree with Gameer_77 There a lot of limitations to styles and controls and I can't tell you all! I'll sometimes have to find out myself.

He wants to create the buttons dynamically and not predefine them in the description.ext. I think the easiest way is to create a listbox where every entry is another action (assign a script with lbSetData).

I can't tell you about the multiplayer thing, but concerning clickable pictures: You have to add the button after the picture controls in your controls-array: i.e. </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> controls[] = { MY_PICTURE, MY_BUTTON} <span id='postcolor'> everything is drawn from left to right, so OFP draws first the picture and then the button. If it would be the other way, you could not click the button. And the text of the button appears if you have defined any (because the picture is drawn first). But there is no way to assign a ST_PICTURE-style to CT_ACTIVETEXT or CT_BUTTON. EDIT: I see you were faster

Thanks, but I don't think that that was good work, but perhaps this could be good work: Soon to be released

OK, now I got it, look just the image above! I did as Dschulle told me, and had to make a quad of all 4 points, then it worked. Thanks to all and especially Dschulle!

@uiox because one time it's an array of array [_pos] and the other it's just an array (_pos) [_pos] = [ [_x, _y, _z] ] (_pos) = [_x, _y, _z]

Yeah, and for even more hardcore-scripters there is preprocessFile instead of loadFile! You may define your own C-like macros in your SQF-files. I've got a sample function pos2grid which converts ofp-position vector [x,y,z] to grid position "Ea64". create a test.sqs with following content: </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> _gridpos = (getpos player) call preprocessFile "pos2grid.sqf" hint format ["%1", _gridpos] <span id='postcolor'> And create pos2grid.sqf: </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> #define DIV(_X, _Y) ((_X / _Y) - (_X / _Y) % 1) #define MOD(_X, _Y) ((_X % _Y) - (_X % _Y) % 1) private ["_a", "_b", "_result", "_big", "_small", "_num", "_g1", "_g2", "_g3", "_g4"]; _a = _this select 0; _b = _this select 1; _big  = ["A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J"]; _small = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j"]; _num  = [9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0]; _g1 = DIV(_a, 1280); _g2 = DIV( MOD(_a, 1280), 128); _g3 = DIV(_b, 1280); _g4 = DIV( MOD(_b, 1280), 128); _result = format ["%1%2%3%4", _big select _g1, _small select _g2, _num select _g3, _num select _g4]; _result <span id='postcolor'> You see that even nested macros are allowed!
