this sample don't works: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_number=0 ... _number=ctrlText 102 ? _number + 25 > 50 : hint "Bla!" ... how to cast the return-value of 'ctrlText' (or any other string) to number? any idea? Â /edit in vba, i would use: _number=val(ctrlText 102)

thx toad, your solution is the better way.

I GOT THE SOLUTION BY MYSELF !!! <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_number=0 ... call format["_number = %1", ctrlText 102] ? _number + 25 > 50 : hint "Bla!" ...

agreed !!!

from the official comref: 1. the right place for requiredVersion is the init.sqs or any other script, and not description.ext. 2. sample of init.sqs with blocking <1.91-players: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> init.sqs ... ~1 ... ? !RequiredVersion "1.91" : goto "Required191" ... exit ;********************************************* #Required191 TitleCut ["","BLACK IN",10000] disableUserInput true TitleText ["OFP-Version 1.91 is required!!!\n\nPlease exit with Alt+F4!","Plain"] ~5 goto "Required191"

i am searching for information about the reason of lags and desyncs. there are some events that seems to produce a lot of data-traffic like dammaging a house or driving over a bush or tree. also, if 2 or 3 people are driving together in a vehicle, the traffic is high. but something like a local running rotorwash-script for a chopper is also producing traffic/lag/desync? is desync corresponding with high data-traffic (upstream and/or downstream)? maybe a list would be good, sorted by traffic/lag/desync-tendency. EDIT: or maybe things like the number of objects on the island are essential? maybe a simultan (sorry for my bad english) running voice-program like teamspeak is removing a lot of bandwith from the ofp-data-stream?

ok, now back to the main theme please !!! Â Â

i dont go conform with this. what is 'IsServer'? 'IsServer' is primary a global undefined variable. by setting 'IsServer=TRUE' or 'IsServer=FALSE', the variable is declared as boolean variable, and only contains the value 'TRUE' or 'FALSE'. what is 'local Server'? this is calling a internal ofp-function which needs to check and calculate some things to give back a result. <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> 'IsServer=local Server' fills the global variable with 'TRUE' or 'FALSE'. <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> ? IsServer : ... don't looks back for the defintion or declaration and calls again the function 'local Server', it just checks if 'IsServer' is 'TRUE' or 'FALSE', because 'IsServer' is just a global boolean variable. if you want to build something like you explained it, you must write and declare/call a function like this: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> IsServer.sqf _return = local Server; <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> IsServer=loadfile "IsServer.sqf" ... ? call IsServer : ...

i use this <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> IsServer=local Server because its easier for me to memorize. and also i think it's (minimally *G*) faster to set only one time the boolean variable 'IsServer' and further using it, than always calling the function 'local object' which (internally) needs to check and calculate a lot of things until giving me back the same 'TRUE' or 'FALSE' again and again.

if event-triggers and client-side-scripts are not also be called at the server, could this reduce the server-stress? sample: 1. creating a logic-object named 'Server'. 2. init.sqs ... IsServer=(local Server) ... ? ! IsServer: [chopper] addventhandler [...] ...

is there a way to "binarize" a mission-pbo so that the content cannot be "unpbo"-ed and reviewed? background: we play in a real-war-league and each map is unique. positions and equipment are essential sometimes and should be a secret for the enemy. but if a player disconnects he can unpbo the map on his local computer and check out everything.

@CrashDome: a new map has to be created for each war, because the positions and amount of weapons/vehicles depend on all former wars. right now, the best idea for our problem would be the one from Doolittle (calling a external .sqs). thx 4 this. Â

@lady: lol

is there a way to detect all mines on the whole island? i placed a mine somewhere, named it: mine1 typeof mine1 returns: "" so, how to search mines with nearestobject[player,"object"]? my idea is: finding a mine with: nearestobject[_posi,"MineMine"] setting a marker at this point setting _posi at mine-posi removing mine searching next mine

k, nearestobject[_posi,"Mine"] works. but i need to scan the hole island in steps of 64m, cause nearestobject seems to find things at about 50-75m maximum distance.

The file "WestCrateExplosives.txt" contains the following text: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">clearWeaponCargo this; clearMagazineCargo this; this addMagazineCargo ["CarlGustavLauncher",100]; this addWeaponCargo ["CarlGustavLauncher",10]; this addMagazineCargo ["LAWLauncher",100]; this addWeaponCargo ["LAWLauncher",10]; this addMagazineCargo ["AALauncher",100]; this addWeaponCargo ["AALauncher",10]; this addMagazineCargo ["Pipebomb",30]; In the Init section of the first crate I have put: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">[] exec "WestCrateGuns.txt" And for the second crate: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">[] exec "WestCrateExplosives.txt" your first try was nearly correct, but you forgot to pass the ammobox-object to the script. it would work like this: [this] exec "WestCrateGuns.txt" [this] exec "WestCrateExplosives.txt"

in multiplayer-setup, the different groups have names like 'group alpha black' or 'group alpha blue'. is it possible to change these names at this point? i created a group of west-players, the leader got a init-sequence like this: 'group this setgroupid ["Charlie","GroupColor7"]', but the text at the multiplayer-setup wasn't changed.

is there a way via scripting to count how many weapons or ammunition is in an ammobox?

i want to determine and count the available amount of any weapon or ammo in a ammobox. at the beginning of the match, the players can add weapons and ammo in the ammobox, at the end of the match, the remaining amount has to be counted.

if you play with 'crosshair on' and you use an aa-missile, you first lock on the target and then you fire the missile. but, how to lock on the missile in 'crosshair off'-mode? if i only fire the missile in the direction of the target, the rocket don't follow the plane/chopper. so what is the clue for hitting a plane/chopper with an aa-missile in 'crosshair off'-mode?

but there is no confirmation that i've locked on correctly, right?

Representing [THC] The Hard Core, we are in the process of adopting the filename convention. /EDIT work done.

yes, and the response and solution of BIS is the '#debug checkfile'-command.

there is a way, you can use a different map-file with the same file-name and ofp dont care about it. maybe, a map contains a 'setviewdistance 1000'-command. but you can alter your map-file and enhance the viewdistance to i.e. 5000. some other advantages can also be added in your map-file and this is only executed at your computer. only with the '#debug checkfile'-command you can check and confirm that all connected players are really using the same map-file.
