Is it possible to include an existing dialog within a main dialog? I have a main dialog simulating a rugged pc tablet. I have pre existing dialogs that I would like to display on the tablet screen by clicking on a button on the tablet's edge. Is this possible? And if so, what would the structure look like? Thanks

How would I integrate a showCommandingMenu inside a dialog display? I guess what I am asking is what kind of box (rscCombo, rscListBox, etc) and get it to show in the dialog display instead of the normal player's game screen?

//showCommandingMenu "#USER:ThorMenu"; I can execute it using a button but I would rather it display inside the dialog display I have created resembling a pc tablet.

My background picture shows but it is transparent, what control or setting is causing this? The pic is a .paa 1024x1024 and am using RscPicture as above. Thanks class bomsf_skin: RscPicture { idc = -1; //2200; text = "images\bomsf_tablet.paa"; //--- ToDo: Localize; x = 0.176628 * safezoneW + safezoneX; y = 0.105957 * safezoneH + safezoneY; w = 0.8 * safezoneW; h = 0.8 * safezoneH; }; Edit: Solved, reloaded it in the GUI Editor using missionConfig >> "my_dialog" and moved the order of the layers. Apparently, moving the background pic to the top results in it exporting it in the controls= to the bottom, which is where the ingame dialog wants it. I had been moving the exported back to the top which resulted in it appearing as transparent.

As is written, is it dedicated compatible? And if not, what would it need to make it so? Thanks

_texttuf = "<t color='#58FA58' size='1.0' align='left'>A member of your sqaud is deploying a Mortor.<br/><br/>It is marked with green smoke and chemlight. <br/><br/>"; is missing the closing element for <t such as </t>

It still isn't large enough to even display the notifications created in the default campaigns, missions, etc. Can we make it a little larger?

In my mission, I have created a sea platform for sealteam operations. the choppers, however, fall through the rooftop when landing of any building I use as the surface of my platform. Such as the piers and the hospital for example. It is as though they aren't solid. Also, the pier surface is not drivable by vehicles or choppers, they just fall through as though the pier isn't there. Is there a scripting command that would help? I noticed the piers already existing on the island don't seem to have this problem. Thanks

I am using both classes and neither are solid to vehicles or choppers when placed through scripting but the "Land_pier_F" is solid if placed by the editor. Edit: It is the attachTo cmd in both the editor and scripting that causes the piers (or buildings) to lose their solidity with vehicles and choppers.

This is a quick work-around for driving the Trawler in arma3. You need to use 3rd person view for best operation. I am sure there are much "cleaner" ways to do this and even this method can be improved upon.

Please see this post with video --> http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?172849-Driving-the-Arma3-Trawler-with-submarine-demo Just a simple work-around but maybe someone will find it useful.

I realized that I did in fact set a "busy" or in my case "avail" var to get around the need to use a terminator. I like your suggestion about setting the player as the variable, will explore that some more. Right now, everything is working very well and my concerns about the many, many, If/then statements originally used have been answered, thanks to you.

I have an "Airborne Command" that is nothing more than a fleet of AI piloted choppers that provide services such as paradrops, combat insertions, extractions, etc. They also provide some lowlevel, midlevel, and HALO type training missions. When any of the services are being performed by them, ie. combat inserttion, I need to be able to terminate the script that called them and redirect them to a new location or simply rtb. The scenarios are many, but essentially, I need to pass the "player" [player] to the execVM and be able to terminate "handler" when the player selects a new task from the Airborne Command Menu. EDIT: Perhaps terminating is not such a good idea. After replying to your question, I realized a better approach. currently the associated Airborne Command Menu and the monitor are: AirBorne Command Menu AirborneMenu = [ ["Airborne Menu",true], ["Get-Put On Parachute", [2], "", -5, [["expression", "nulpara = [player] execVM 'teg\airborne\parachutewest.sqf';"]], "1", "1"], ["Show Altimeter", [3], "", -5, [["expression", "nulsalt = [player] execVM 'teg\airborne\show_altimeter.sqf';"]], "1", "1"], ["Call For Extraction", [4], "#USER:Extraction", -5, [["expression", ""]], "1", "1"], ["Combat Paradrop Insertion", [5], "#USER:CombatInsertion", -5, [["expression", ""]], "1", "1"], ["Jump School", [6], "#USER:JumpSchool", -5, [["expression", ""]], "1", "1"], ["Chopper Commands", [7], "#USER:ChopperCMDS", -5, [["expression", ""]], "1", "1"], ["", [-1], "", -5, [["expression", ""]], "1", "0"], ["Exit", [13], "", -3, [["expression", ""]], "1", "1"] ];

cuel's suggestion has been the best answer to my question in this thread so far. However, I still need the correct syntax-format for changing the code from a "compile PP" to a "handler = [] execVM". Nothing I have tried seems to be correct.

@cuel I had already designed the scripts around the EventHandling systems but actually, the only event is what choice the player made from a commanding menu. The real problem is not so much the multiple (if/thens) or the (while) but the fact that the commanding menu, the onMapSingleClick, and etc. do not transfer control or ownership of objects and vehicles in order for the exec scripts to work properly on Dedicated Server. They all work fine in SP or Listen Server but NOT on a dedicated. I used the commanding menu to turn a server_1 (Game Logic) variable to "true" in order to have the DEDICATED server perform the executable. Those executables may have some onMapSingleClick interactions with the player but when kept within the scope will be passed to the DEDICATED server to perform the action. Again, all works fine without this Game Logic method on SP and Listen Servers but NOT on Dedicated. Hope this clarifys a little about the subject.

If I understand it correctly (publicVariable and publicVariableEventHandler) this too would cause additional cpu cycles by broadcasting over the network to all the clients, etc. However, in my case, all the variables belong to a Game Logic which is also the "owner" and "controller" of other objects in the mission, all placed thru the editor and all controlled by the dedicated server( no need to broadcast). Those variables effect those objects in addition to running the associated scripts. So, unless I can find a better way to monitor the above, the While (TRUE) loop will have to do.

} forEach _state; //loop runs for each entry in your array once, after that its terminated The while loop is a variable status monitor, it needs to monitor the status of each of those variables all during the game. If the status changes from "false" to "true" then it executes a script that performs an action. This may happen for the same variable many times throughout the mission.

Thank you, I will give that a try. I'm using strings for Booleans because other related scripts will not accept Boolean but need strs instead. I am using a Game Logic as "server_1" to hold or "own" sectors (modules), vars, and controls. Actions are performed based on the state of a variable that can be toggled by any player. This is being done on Dedicated Server which is very picky about localization, object ownership, etc. This seems to solve most of those issues that I kept running into. while {true} do { for "_i" from 0 to (count _airborne)-1 do { _str = _airborne select _i; if ((server_1 getVariable [_str,"false"]) == "true") then { [] spawn compile PP format ["teg/airborne/%1.sqf",_str]; server_1 setVariable [_str,"false",true]; }; sleep 0.5; }; }; The delimiters "/" need to be reversed in the above code. It works very well and I thank you, cuel. But I have one more problem. I need to change the execution line from "compile PP" to a "_handler= [] execVM" format in order for the variable in accompanying scripts to work correctly. I tried various "formatting" in order to do this but am still stumped.

The script above is monitoring the state or condition of a true/false variable assigned to some of the actions/selections in this Commanding Menu below. Hope this helps. And thanks for your quick reply.

script doesn't work in my mission and neither does the example mission. !

How do you "select" the description field as set in the editor for an object and use it in a script ? Or for that matter, any of the objects' editor fields. I saw the getVariable cmd but not sure how to use it, if applicable.

try implementing: /////////////////////////////////////////////////// // BOMSF Utilities // fnc_ehkilled.sqf // // in init.sqf: [] call compile preprocessfilelinenumbers "scripts\fncs\fnc_ehkilled.sqf"; // // call the fnc with a periodic while loop or in any script that creates an east unit // /////////////////////////////////////////////////// if (isServer or isDedicated) then { fnc_ehkilledeast = { east_units = []; { if ((side _x) == east) then { east_units = east_units + [_x]; {_x removeAllEventHandlers "killed"} forEach east_units; }; } foreach allUnits; {_x addEventHandler ["killed", {//insert code here }]} forEach east_units; }; };

It appears that an item returned using the script command _weapons = weapons player; // line 19 =BTC=_functions.sqf is not in the BETA 0.74 'config.bin/CfgWeapons' as an addable weapon in _unit addweapon _x You could write or add a hint or diag_log line in the iteration of {if (isClass (configFile >> "cfgWeapons" >> _x)) then {_unit addweapon _x;};} foreach (_gear select 7); to show you the offending weapons. Just a suggestion.

It's not the 7th item that is referenced by select 7 but the 8th, it starts at 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,"7" which is the 8th or select 7 character It is "select 7" NOT "select 7th"

@MeatballCB, I believe _gear select 7 is _weapons not _back_pack_weap. BTC_set_gear = { /*_gear = [ _uniform,0 _vest,1 _goggles,2 _headgear,3 _back_pack,4 _back_pack_items,5 _back_pack_weap,6 _weapons,7 _prim_items,8 _sec_items,9 _handgun_items,10 _items_assigned,11 _uniform_items,12 _vest_items,13 _weap_sel,14 _mags_g,15 _at_mag ];*/
