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).

January 3, 2010

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 ?

---------- Post added at 00:15 ---------- Previous post was at 00:06 ----------

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 ?

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 };

{
	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"; 
};

};

omg, I thought it wasn't working, but it works even for warfare field hospital ! I just forgot to injure my character to check that it's working... :)

January 3, 2010

How can I add a ability to heal to the field hospital building and mash tent via script? What should I do?

(What I want: when I enter this building or tent, the sign '*' appears and I can heal myself here inside of tent).

January 2, 2010

I know how to make static markers, but how do I use markers with moving units? If I run endless loops, even with sleep, they will cause high lags when with many units ingame, i think. Or am I wrong? Or I just need to hide them all in one time and forget about them?

Deadfast, please help, how do I use them?

January 2, 2010

Is there an ability to hide player's and other units' markers by a script (as it is done by server in veteran mode) and to show them back, when needed ?

January 2, 2010

I think, it works ))

January 2, 2010

How can I give a variable with type Object to the dialog?

Using local variable (local for a script that starts dialog and waits for its end) doesn't work. Using global variable helps, but, I cannot use 1 temporary variable, because I will have several such dialogs in game, ad if 2 of them change this global tmp_obj at the same time, it will cause a bug in game.

How to give a dialog my Object?

---------- Post added at 06:01 ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 ----------

I've just got an idea.

What if I have a tmp_obj variable, but I don't use publicVariable instructions. This won't be visible to other clients even if they manipulate with tmp_obj ? They will have another tmp_obj, not syncronized with mine?

VBS2 is the real military simulation which is used by armys of the world (USMC, US Army, etc.) ;) And it costs over 1000$ ^^
VBS2 is based on the ArmA 1 engine.

they could make more money with Arma2 (or maybe, are making already) if they join VBS+Arma in 1 product but with higher but reasonable price.

2. Such fortifications already exists as objects. You just need to make an engineer team be able to build them, via scripting. I haven't tested how collisions are done, does tank collide (rest on) ground or on placed fortification? I agree that finding good hull down locations in terrain are more difficult than in real terrain. Guessing here (not a tanker), but I think islands with smaller cell sizes helps though.

don't mess digged trenches, which are the hole in the ground with that poor similarity of placeble object in Arma2. These objects are very easily destroyable ingame and thus not effective. Maybe I can somehow edit their strength, then I will like them?.. But where can I do that?

---------- Post added at 00:37 ---------- Previous post was at 00:33 ----------

Cyborg112, I have always known that Arma (Arma2) is a cut-version of something... Now I know that in our case - cut from VBS2... and this is sad. It is like when manufacturing CPU, you have persentage of defected CPUs with defected cache memory, and in order not to waste them, you sell them for less money... selling Celerons instead of Pentiums (as in early 2000's). And I feel myself now like a poor dog at the street, to which bones are thrown...

BIS...BIS... it's not the right way...

Hello,

Where can I find/get/take/rip

i need something like in warfare, but I don't know how to work with this dialogs (yet). Maybe someone did them before, or just ripped from warfare missions? Or knows where to get them from?

Cyborg112, yes.... my hope also disappeared, when I read that...

December 29, 2009

why do you have two "_init1" ?

---------- Post added at 02:12 ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 ----------

I think all these complicated constructions are the consequence of BIS's laziness - they haven't made functions to get inventory from vehicles, no events like "onUse" and "onUsed" for actions added by addAction, and so on....

personnaly for me, while {true} is a bad manner in programming... but all this is caused by...... I have written above ))
