[True/false and random numbers]

It's all about scope:

http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Variables#Scope

if the variable is declared inside a control structure (i.e. if, for, switch, while) it can't be 'seen or read' outside the {}; and returns undefined errors.

I think of it as the offside rule for sqf.

[How to run a script just to the unit that is on the trigger.]

Edit:

{_x setVelocity [-10, -10, 30]}forEach thislist

from Ashram 1-1 worked, thanks a lot! :D

That code will only work as long as the trigger is reset by the previous unit leaving the trigger area. If q1 stays within the trigger - the effect will not work for q2. Scripted solution:

trigger name: trigger01

trigger text: trigger01

init.sqf:

[trigger01,4] execVM "monitor.sqf";

run code on next 4 units entering trigger - only new entrants will be affected - existing units may remain in trigger.

monitor.sqf

private ["_temp","_list","_newGuy","_count","_trig"];

sleep 1;
_trig = _this select 0;
_num = _this select 1; 

if (!(typeOf _trig == "EmptyDetector")) exitWith {hint "error monitor.sqf param 0 is not trigger"};

monitor = true;
_temp = [];
_list = list _trig;
_count = count _list;

while {monitor} do 
{
waitUntil {triggeractivated _trig};

if (count (list _trig) != _count) then 
{
_newGuy = (list _trig) select (count (list _trig))-1;

	if (!(_newGuy in _temp)) then 
	{
	_count = count (list _trig);
	_temp set [count _temp,_newGuy];
	hint format ["%1 is the new guy in %2",_newGuy,triggerText _trig];
	_newGuy playmove "AmovPercMstpSsurWnonDnon";//replace this line with your code
	};
};
if (count _temp == _num) exitWith {hint "trigger quota full monitor.sqf halt"; monitor = false;};
};

If you have something constant it is possible to do it without a script:

BLUFOR

Repeatedly

Present

condition:

this && {!(animationState _x == "AmovPercMstpSsurWnonDnon")} count thisList > 0

OnAct:

{_x playMove "AmovPercMstpSsurWnonDnon"; _x setCaptive true;} forEach thislist;

That will make each unit that enters surrender and not affect those already present.

[Trigger question: Not present but also not dead.]

Tested in game and worked for me?

dont group trigger

Have you named your group? eg (in leaders init): group1 = group this;

#trigger activation: anybody

#condition:

{_x in thislist} count units group1 == 0

#trigger OnAct: hint "trigger Activated";

[Explosion without alerting enemies, or reset alert state]

{_x disableAI "ANIM";} forEach units groupName;
//explosion, followed by 
{_x enableAI "ANIM";} forEach units groupName;
groupName setBehaviour "CARELESS";

???

http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/disableAI

http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setBehaviour

To destroy a "Land_Communication_F" tower without an explosion:

_nObject = nearestObject [player, "Land_Communication_F"];
_pos = getPosATL _nObject;
_nObject setDamage 1;
_smoke = "#particlesource" createVehicleLocal _pos;
_smoke setParticleClass "MediumSmoke";
_smoke setPosATL _pos;

or use BIS_fnc_sceneSetBehaviour

 ["disableAI",(units groupName),0] call BIS_fnc_sceneSetBehaviour

Script it - much easier.

1st video clearly declares that if you had drones / satelites in the sky such gathering would not be easy

Easier still because that area is inside the UNDOF Area of Limitation on the Golan. Syrian heavy weapons/armour/airforce are not allowed there.

[EventHandler "Take"?]

Iceman'scode was for a script - to use in the trigger directly:

truckname: truck01

truck init

this addMagazineCargo ["SatchelCharge_Remote_Mag",20];

trigger:

activation: anybody

condition:

{_x == "satchelCharge_remote_mag"} count magazineCargo truck01 < 20 && vehicle player in thisList

(note: you had the classname wrong - ammo is what you place - you need the mag from cfgMagazines)

[Syria - What should we do if anything?]

So now they're ambushing Irish troops...good luck to the rebels getting support any more support then they should from us if you kill one of our soldiers.

Well who knows who did what but the main local group is Yarmouk Martyrs Brigade and have been involved in UN kidnappings before. Is a MOWAG T-72 proof?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0rO-Q7pjc4

Attacks directly on Irish troops this month could be related to Minister Shatter's November Middle East tour. Somebody may have disagreed with something or who he met, maybe? Many people interpret a greeting and a hand shake to mean more than it actually does.

[Usable cargo ramp for CH-49 Mohawk]

Nice work and nice photos!

[EventHandler "Take"?]

Bit of a muddle there :)

You need to add the EH to the player not the trigger.

I would have used it like this

_EHtakeIdx = player addEventHandler ["Take", {_this execVM "whatHeTook.sqf"}];

whatHeTook.sqf EH passes [unit, container, item]

_unit = _this select 0;
_container = _this select 1;
_item = _this select 2;

if ((_item == "satchelCharge_remote_mag") && vehicle player in list triggerName) then {hint "By jove, he's got it!";};

(untested)

[setpos on backpack]

tip: you can use getBackpackCargo and the related commands to find out whats in the weaponHolder

[Getting object by string name]

well (if I understand the question??) generally you would do this:

_hdl = [objectName] execVM "someScript";
//or
[objectName] call someFunction;
//or
[objectName] spawn {someThing};

then in the script:

_object = _this select 0;

another way is to save the object as a variable:

_veh = createVehicle ["B_G_Quadbike_01_F", position player, [], 0, "NONE"];
missionNamespace setVariable ["refString",_veh];//"refString" can be anything you like but try to make it unique so it doesn't get overwritten

In a script

_veh = missionNamespace getVariable "refString";
_veh setDamage 1;

will return the object reference

If you create multiple vehicles:

_vehArr = []
_vehrefArr = []

for "_i" from 0 to 9 do {
_veh = createVehicle ["B_G_Quadbike_01_F", position player, [], 0, "NONE"];
_ref = format ["quad%1",_i];
missionNamespace setVariable ["_ref",_veh];

_vehArr set [count _vehArr,_veh];
_vehrefArr set [count _vehrefArr,_ref];
};

missionNamespace setVariable ["quadVehicles",_vehArr];
missionNamespace setVariable ["quadVehRefs",_vehrefArr];

You now have 3 ways of accessing the stored data in another script:

_vehref = missionNamespace getVariable "quad9"; //the individual vehicles - strings "quad0" - "quad9"
_vehArr = missionNamespace getVariable "quadVehicles";//array of vehicles _vehArr select 0 to _vehArr select 9;
_vehrefArr = missionNamespace getVariable "quadVehRefs";//array of reference strings ["quad0" ..."quad9"]
_my1stVeh = missionNamespace getVariable (_vehrefArr select 0);

More types of weapon holder than that in A3? Maybe dead bodies uses one of the others? Will try and test that when I get time - busy at moment.

[Class names for black MX rifles?]

[How to do the UAV sitrep thing?]

If you create a camera in the init or with a script run from the init - eg:

_cam01 = createVehicle ["camera", _camPos, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
_cam01 camPrepareTarget _targetPos;
_cam01 cameraEffect ["INTERNAL", "BACK", "rendertarget1"];
_cam01 camPrepareFov 0.700;
_cam01 camCommitPrepared 0;
waitUntil{camCommitted _cam01};
_laptop setObjectTextureGlobal [0, "#(argb,512,512,1)r2t(rendertarget1,1.0)"];

You must delay it till after BIS_fnc_establishingShot has completed or the "rendertarget" will fail and display a black or white screen. Use something like:

waitUntil {!isNull player}; //or waitUntil {!isNil {BIS_missionStarted }};

in the script before the camera is created.

How or why this bug occurs I don't know, but if your camera textures fail or work intermittently or BIS_fnc_establishingShot cuts to the player internal cam - this could be the cause.

Updated - if you use the debug console camera during the mission it also affects rendertargets so:

enableDebugConsole = 0;

in the init.
