Yes , as many people (On one Side) as you want to give the tablet to can have access at the same time. It works in MP, someone else can be piloting the drone while you view the video. It was designed with this specifically in mind, as the 15th has uav operators and I made this so the commander can link in and have a look at what that UAV operator is seeing. We are just now starting the closed beta with large scale MP testing , but I have not run into many problems with the mod on that front.

Thanks for everyones feed back. MacScottie is right, What I am planning right now is to have a configurable option to which side you could use this with, it will default to use with Nato, but you can set it up at the beginning of a mission to use it with Redfor. After setting this Redfor would be treated as blueflor by the tablet.So it will be one side or the other can use the tablet. I hope to have this in at or just after I release. Hopefully Im explaining that well...
Also I have had a few questions about the display text for each icon. It shows the groupID of the unit(s) and you can change that at mission start on the fly to anything you want with setGroupId .

I don't really agree with this, I think the community in general does a great job of promoting and pushing the great mods to the top. Most people create addons because its their way of being creative, and most dont get paid for this. To imose limits and have some one else tell others how and when to be creative doesn't sound like a very appealing hobby to me.
I like Sttosin's idea, I think the addon/mod threads that are user reviewed/rated highly should be designated in a better way, maybe special markers or a separate section in the forums.
-
Any news on when the next update will be? Are you just waiting for release?

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Ill try and keep this thread updated as I move along on this project.

Your doing some great work, keep it up. If you need anything feel free to ask.

They are map objects, they don't have true class names that you can access that I know of, but they gave us some helpful commands:

Ahh yes thank you I was missing the type...
type = CT_LISTNBOX;
When you look at one thing to long you miss the details.

I have a Dialog that worked in arma 2 with multi column listboxes, I was working to convert it to A3 and I have hit a roadblock, it does not seem to be working.

Anyone see a mistake I have made or maybe a Dev could shed some light on this?
I know the Dialog is working as I can add items normally and pictures:

lol its all good man.

Am I right in thinking this is more of an event driven scripting language?SQF files are not objects they are functions that may or may not return something?
Always use the server to store state unless absolutely sure that its not possible?
Is there a place to get a list of events that you can add functions to be run from?
This is becoming a great resource of information for arma 3 beginners but have previous object orientated experience. God I cant wait for the arma 3 java api.
1. Its a lot like procedural programing
2. SQF files are code. Not all are functions. Functions are saved to a variable and used at some point.
3. Yes in general when dealing with Multi Player you want to run as much of the code on the server as you can, and just localize the code that needs to run on the clients.
4. http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA:_Event_Handlers
http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addEventHandler
5. Dont get your hopes up to far about Java, if or when it does arrive, the overhead from the system may not provide enough of a reason to use it over sqf except in explicit cases.

The big idea behind functions is this: if your only going to need a peice of code once then just leave it in the .sqf and the call it with execVM. But if you will be using it more than once, its better for performance if you just compile it once and save it to a variable and then just call it from memory when you need it.
-
It can return a value. Like in my distance check function.
If you want to to return a value you use:
http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/call
And if you just need it to run concurrently or with sleep with no return then use:
-
So wf_fnc_distance_to holds a reference to that script. Correct? So as long as you have that variable, you can call the function?
Yes that is correct.
Parameters are passed to the function via an array, and then select 0, and select 1 are accessing those parameters. Correct?
Yes
I see what you're doing there, where a function is in a single sqf file. Is there a way to have multiple functions in a single file and then call one or the other?
Yes there is, you can build and compile them all in one file and then reference them later:
This is a client function file from Domination, its a bit more advanced, he is using prepocessor commands and macros to compile and save them but yes it can be done.

Do we see any construct like this in SQF? Or does each .sqf file run from top to bottom and that's it, and there's no way to call a specific part of the code?
Nope, SQF is not OO. each file will run based on its code and with the exceptions that we talked about earlier in the thread, ie saving data into variables or passing it to something else, once the sqf runs thats it.
I have to post this here, it would not let me post otherwise lol.

Here is a function for checking the sea level distance from airborne objects to a pos on the ground.
// wf_fnc_distance_to.sqf // By Riouken _obj1 = _this select 0; _obj2 = _this select 1; _pos_obj1 = [_obj1 select 0,_obj1 select 1]; _pos_obj2 = [_obj2 select 0,_obj2 select 1]; _result = _pos_obj1 distance _pos_obj2; _result
I create it in a "init" file that I only run on the server(that way it is available anywhere on the server machine)
wf_fnc_distance_to = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "server\fnc\wf_fnc_distance_to.sqf";
Now I can call it from any script on the server machine like this:
Here is a script(actually this is another function that I call it from) that I call it in:
_loc = _this select 0; _cargo = _this select 1; _spwnpos = [(getMarkerPos "air_spawn") select 0, (getMarkerPos "air_spawn") select 1,600]; _dir = [_spwnpos, _loc] call BIS_fnc_dirTo; _c130array = [_spwnpos, _dir, "C130J_US_EP1", WEST] call bis_fnc_spawnvehicle; _c130 = _c130array select 0; _c130 allowDamage false; _transgrp = group _c130; _wp = _transgrp addWaypoint [_loc, 0]; [_transgrp, 0] setWaypointType "MOVE"; _c130 flyinHeight 400; _dropcargo = false; while {! _dropcargo} do { [color=#ff0000]_dist = [getPosAsl _c130,_loc] call wf_fnc_distance_to;[/color] if (_dist < 300) then { _dropcargo = true; }; sleep 1; }; waitUntil {_dropcargo}; if (_cargo == "Land_Misc_Cargo1E_EP1") then { _dropcargo = [_c130,_cargo] spawn wf_fnc_supply_drop; sleep .07; _dropcargo = [_c130,_cargo] spawn wf_fnc_supply_drop; }else { _dropcargo = [_c130,_cargo] spawn wf_fnc_supply_drop; }; sleep 3; _wp = _transgrp addWaypoint [_spwnpos, 1]; [_transgrp, 1] setWaypointType "MOVE"; _backtobase = false; while {! _backtobase} do { _dist = [getPosAsl _c130,_spwnpos] call wf_fnc_distance_to; if (_dist < 500) then { deleteVehicle _c130; }; sleep 5; };---------- Post added at 07:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 PM ----------
Here is a silly example of a very limited scope for a function.
while {time > 10} do { _starttime = time; // This function will only be availble in this loop that we created it in. _howLongHasItBeen = { _newtime = (_this select 0) - _starttime; _newtime }; While {true} do { _newtime = [time] call _howLongHasItBeen; hint str _newtime; sleep 1; }; sleep 1; }; // _howLongHasItBeen would not work out side the loop above. -
if(isClient) { run script // My client functions/scripts....stuff etc. myfunction = do some stuff... } else { // What ever we ran above would not be availibel in this case unless we sent the data to this scope, like we talked about before. // You can do stuff here for what ever is not a client... ie the server. }If you create the function on only one machine then only it will know about it. If you create it on everyone's machine you can execute it everywhere.
-
Now my question is can functions be public or private?
You can limit the scope of functions by only running them on a particular machine, for instance the server, or only on clients or on one particular client.
-
-
You can either use the Sites module or you can use scripting like DAC.
-
They can't communicate. The only two ways to get data in or out is to pass data to the thread:
_null =[this,stuff gets passed to the thread] execVM "my script.sqf";
And saving variables to a global namespace and then checking those in another thread. Scope matters a lot when coding like this.
---------- Post added at 03:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 PM ----------
A lot of scripting in arma revolves around functions. You pass data to them and either wait for a return or they go off on their own to do a task while your other script finishes up.
-
In reference to your locality check question yes you can check it. There is a. Command for it:
-
To hopefully get this back on topic... There are some conversion mods out there but it does not work the same as some other engine's like "source" etc... In arma you do not have as much access to the engine. Almost every thing is done with the API. So almost everything is done either mission/script based or Mod based.
For some good examples of conversion mods and how they are done here are some you can download and open up to see how it works.
[WIP] cTab - Commander's Tablet - FBCB2, Bluforce Tracker
in ARMA 3 - ADDONS & MODS: DISCUSSION
Posted
Thanks :o
Since everyone is in the Christmas mood, a little gift for everyone , a small progress update:
I am into a closed beta now, and I am polishing up the GUI and fixing any bugs that arise in beta. The only major thing Im waiting on for a public release is the vehicle interface, as soon as thats done I will see about getting the first version out to everyone.
Update - v1.0.0.2
Changelog:
-Polished up the tablet gui.
-Added quick access keys on tablet, F1,F2,F3
-Cleaned up the Helmet Cam and UAV Gui and made it look more realistic. (Let me know what you think)
-Polished up the navigation of menu's in the Tablet
-fixed helmet cam offset issues, helmet cam pip now shows the correct view no matter the animation the unit is in.
-Tablet interface is 98% done.
