Error Loading Mission after adding modded entities to mission

[Error Loading Mission after adding modded entities to mission]

Post .rpt file or nobody is able to help. And pls use an external code posting service or the spoiler function of the forum to post it.

Also open an own topic next time you have a problem pls.

[Side change lock for a time period]

you are ending the mission server side. This is the problem. I alreqdy showed how to do it on the client.

Also the problem which @pierremgi described persists...

[Side change lock for a time period]

If u want to get help then u need to show ur code and also how/where u execute it.

sequence: in game - return to lobby - change for another role seems to me difficult to trace. Not sure MEH "playerConnected" is firing here.

Yeah, I missed this and did not cover it in my code...

Hard to trace this server side only. 

Maybe there is a smarter client side only solution by storing the chosen side in profile namespace but idk how client can detect if server actually runs the same mission session or if it was restarted. Maybe one could just use the mission time for this.

still how are they showing up

as optional mods in the mod list, 

I guess this is because of the .bikey files which he put on the server

It clearly shows that the three flag mods are not loaded on the server. 

Also they are not part of the -mod parameter....

[Making AI mortar copy direction/elevation/firing of player mortar]

I would not try to copy those values but to give the AI the same target or target position. But it depends on how the player is selecting the target..

[Side change lock for a time period]

Above code is ready to get tested and debugged. Im not able to do this because Ive no arma 3 pc for another week and also i think i dont like to set up a dedicated server just to test this. Therefore I can help with debugging but I ll not test the code myself.

 

Possible problems I see:

BIS_fnc_getUnitByUID - may not return objNull when player is not spawned yet

"end1" call BIS_fnc_endMission; - idk if this is the corret end for sending player back to lobby.

 

If you test the code and get any error or not intended behavior just post it here and I ll try to help.

laser designator weapons, which require batteries…I think, as magazines might mess it up..?

You could just test what is returned for a laser and then remove that classname from the array before u check if the array is empty.

[Scheduler Load and Looping Scripts]

Forget bout exec. This is not for sqf scripts.

call is executing immediatly when used in unscheduled environment.

Everytging bout it is described here:

[Side change lock for a time period]

I did not have tested anything but this is the way I would try it.

 

initServer.sqf

SARO_playerSideArray = [];

addMissionEventHandler ["PlayerConnected", 
{
 _this spawn
 {
  //time the player is forbidden to chose another side - in minutes
  private _restrictedChangeTime = 10;

  // all players with these sides chosen will get checked for side change
  private _restrictedSidesArray = [west, east, independent];

  params ["", "_uid", "_name"];
  
  private [ "_dummy", "_playerUnit", "_playerIndex", "_playerNotFound" ];
  
  // wait until the connected client is spawned as player object
  waitUntil
  {
   sleep 1;
   _playerUnit = _uid call BIS_fnc_getUnitByUID;
   not isNull _playerUnit
  };
   
  _playerSide = side _playerUnit;

  // exit if player did not choose a restricted side
  if !( _playerSide in _restrictedSidesArray ) exitWith {};
   
  _playerIndex = SARO_playerSideArray findIf { _x select 0 isEqualTo _uid };
  _playerNotFound = _playerIndex < 0;

  if (_playerNotFound) then
  {
   _dummy = SARO_playerSideArray pushBack [ _uid, _playerSide, diag_tickTime ];                         
  } else
  {
   private _priorSide = SARO_playerSideArray select 1;
   private _timeUntilChange = (diag_tickTime - SARO_playerSideArray select 2) / 60 - _restrictedChangeTime;

   if ( _playerSide isNotEqualTo _priorSide and _timeUntilChange > 0 ) then
   {
     private _string = format 
     [ 
     "%1, before choosing another side you have to play on side %2 for another %3 minutes!",
      _name,
      _priorSide,
      _timeUntilChange
     ];
     
     _string remoteExec ["hint", _playerUnit];

     sleep 3;
     ["end1", BIS_fnc_endMission] remoteExec ["call", _playerUnit];
   };
  };
 };
}];

 

[Learning how to display text from scripted arrays in-game]

Yeah hard to answer without the knowledge bout what u exactly want to do.

But a whole array can be shown like this:

 

_array = [1, 8, "nine", true, "something"];

hint str _array;

 

Or just the 2nd element:

hint str _array select 1;

 

Or every element with a delay:

 

{

 hint str _x;

sleep 3;

} forEach _array;

[ARMA REFORGER TOOLS- QUESTION]

Idk if u mean this but if i remember correct then u can toggle collision with camera in the camera settings menu where u also can set camera speed and such things. Should be reachable through a button above the view port.

[Side change lock for a time period]

This should get done server side. You could just store the IDs of players together with their chosen side in an array or a hashmap.

Every time a player reconnects you just look for the ID and can get its prior chosen side.

[Questions regarding empty groups and the max group limit]

It just sets a flag on the group. You are able to TRY to prevent auto deletion with it and later you can mark it for auto deletion again.

Its the same flag as you can set with createGroup command.

 

Read both wiki entries to get a clue of it.

[Create a player specific variable for each player in multiplayer]

What you are asking for is not specific enough to help effectively.

Just describe your actual mission editing situation, what you want to achieve, what did u try and what problems do u have with it.

Also open a new topic for it!

[Questions regarding empty groups and the max group limit]

Returns a list of all units, except agents, dead units or units waiting for respawn, outside and inside vehicles that were created on the following sides east, west, independent and civilian.

Its all about wiki reading:

When the last unit leaves its group, the group usually gets immediately auto-deleted,

[How to make my playable area lighter for server?]

I totally agree. Its not neccessary to do this server side. Also to break the loop on death and to restart it on respawn is a smart solution which avoids a dirty infinite loop.

[Create a player specific variable for each player in multiplayer]

Until the player object gets deleted.

when this happens depends on garbage collection.

 

Mostly those variables get useless when player dies and have to get reassigned to the new player object after respawning.

[(wheeled) Vehicle: Engine won't turn on & not drivable]

I had a similar thing some years ago. My vehicle was a tiny short time inside of water and therefore the engine was disabled.

I did spawn the vehicle at 0,0,0 and moved it elsewhere then.

After I changed spawning to  another location the issue was solved.

Why not just doing what I requested?

[Block change side (team) by player during mission - script?]

Idk such script but creating one is possible for sure.

One could create a random key for the current mission session, store it together with the first side chosen in players profile and send player to lobby if he chooses another side during the same session...
