Gnat;2443029'].... based on your reaction to "hacking" and your lack of response to kylania I still say you're the exception to the rule.
I'm done here.

Oh' date=' I should say: If you want that feature, open a Ticket in the Bugtracker, or use one of the generic threads that collect such requests.[/quote']

Kylania showed something I allready achieved (bottom part of my code) and which has nothing to do with config editing. Rather wierd to state that you're done here because of me not replying to him. Not even to mention your vague reply to my hacking statement.

It is clear to me that you in person would rather not see vehicle config editing witout addons. As to why, i couldn't tell. As far as I know it would only bring advantages. Ill just make a feature request out of it since im not really getting any good readons why this shouldn't be implemented in this thread anyway.

Gnat;2442316']Suggest you are the exception to the rule. I don't see too many people here wanting to "tweak" addons to suit their mission.
Except hacker ;)

You don't see them because it's not possible.... I cannot imagine people wouldn't like to edit existing vehicles. I'm sure everyone can agree for example that the current quad bike's accelerating is a laugh.

And about the "hacker" part:

As long as you wouldn't be able to overwrite existing classes a hacker could never change an existing vehicle with a script. And the good hackers can always hack stuff with memory editing...

Gnat;2441529']Sorry' date=' no disrespect but you seem to have missed the 10 years of a VERY success OFP/ARMA1/ARMA2/A2OA community with 10's of thousands of community made addons and missions .... much of that history without addon "auto-downloaders"
That being said, yes, the game would benefit for a little extra usability for the gaming generation that can't/don't like to manage downloads and mod folders.

Unfortunately with thousands of DLC potentially becoming available ..... it could actually backfire and become a NIGHTMARE for some players.[/quote']

I didn't miss it's success.... I'm just saying that a-lot of mods would be easier accessible for the "masses" who simply don't want to take time into stalling it. I have tons of friends playing dayz and only a handful of them could actually install the first versions (without day-commander). Most of them had no clue how to do so... So yes it would be good for the community. And how could it backfire? If done correctly with a server browser which has a "show modded servers" checkbox it won't be a problem.

And even so. I mean a.t.m. I'm developing a Mission file which enables a race game... No modding done, so even now its possible to provide a complete different "experience" for users without them even being aware... Might as well include the whole package then, I'm sure it won't be a problem when a decent server-browser is implemented on the way.

And for the side-note. I highly doubt people downloading a 6.5GB would mind auto-downloading a couple of mods. The "big file download" thing isn't really a point of discussion if you ask me. Majority is on 10mbit+ these days, and if not they can subscribe to mods and download them overnight instead of in game when joining a server.

But we're getting off-topic. Again I'd like to be able to "edit" existing vehicles, wouldn't you like to simply add a turret on top of a offroad to make your mission a bit more unique? Wouldn't be really large files anyway.

July 15, 2013

Well I don't really see the problem with vehicle config files. Sound config works aswell so wouldn't be much effort to implement I suppose?

Also with steamworkshop in mind they should really start implementing auto-addon download. For a game which supports this much modding they are really running behind on auto-download. Look at for example NS2, it allowes you to subscribe on mods in the workshop. And if you join a server with addons/mods it auto-downloads them.

Much more friendly than the current system.

July 15, 2013

Thx for the answer.

Is there a specific reason BIS choose to do it this way? I don't see much harm in including a 30KB file inside a missing with a specific vehicle.

I'll wait some of you guy's answers before I'll post a feature request (or am I the only one wanting this?).

July 14, 2013

You could use skipTime.

It's local so you will have to use this same command for everyone. Also you will have to take JIP players in mind if your missions supports JIP players.

July 14, 2013

Well I want to make a Police version of the offroad but I cannot get it working. Maybe it's just my lack of understanding how to mod.

I then added this file to the description.ext:

#include "dynrace\vehicles\cfgVehicles.cpp"

Folder structure is fine, not errors when loading. When I try to create the vehicle now all I get is:

Cannot create non-ai vehicle DYN_OffRoad_Police,

As far as I can tell everything is correct. Or do I have to create an "Addon" for this in order to make it work (which would be rather strange in my opinion). All I'm trying to achieve is make a faster version of an existing vehicle with some lights. I know the lights can be done ingame but the increased speed cannot.

July 14, 2013

I hate to bump but I'd really like to get an answer on this one.

Also Is there way to find out IDC's of current display? I'd like to "hide" the stance display if possible.

July 10, 2013

I created a button and I'd like to use this button for a couple of actions.

	class BtnAction : MyButton
	{
		idc = 5000;
		text = "Vote";
		onButtonClick = "";
		x = 0.1; y = 0.1;
		w = 0.20;
		h = 0.04;
	};

So the idea is I have a list of action and I want to create an button for each action. The thing is that my script will be used by others so the amount of actions can vary. Is there a way (script) to create multiple buttons on a display with a different "setting" so you can distinguish them upon the buttonclick?

So I sorta want this:

_actions = [["Spawn unit","call fncSpawnUnit;"],
["Spawn vehicle","call fncSpawnVehicle"],
["",""]];

_i = 0;
{
  (findDisplay 46) createDisplay "BtnAction";
  _theCreatedButton = ????
  _pos = ctrlPosition _theCreatedButton;
  _newPos = [_pos select 0, (_pos select 1 + (_pos select 3 + 0.02) * _i), _pos select 2, _pos select 3];
  _theCreatedButton ctrlSetPosition _newPos;
  ctrlSetText [_theCreatedButton, _x select 0];
  _theCreatedButton ctrlAddEventHandler ["onButtonClick",_x select 1];
  _i = _i +1;
} foreach _actions;

There's probably more then one thing wrong with this code but if anyone could help me in the right direction I would really appreciate that. I used this tutorial for reference but it's really outdated (at least that's the general idea I get out of it).

Also another question, what is the IDC of the MAP? I'd like to create the display on top of the map (you get the idea). This way I don't have to open/close the display each time the map is opened/closed (at least that is how I think it works).

July 10, 2013

I personally just use NotePad++ with this syntax highlighting.

July 9, 2013

To check if all of them are inside the trigger area (in a vehicle or not)

_spotFriendlies setTriggerStatements ["{vehicle _x in thisList}foreach EOS_Players","",""];

And to check if one of them is in it:

_spotFriendlies setTriggerStatements ["{vehicle _x in thisList} count EOS_Players > 0","",""];

July 9, 2013

If it's actually UNITS entering the statement you had should work:

_spotFriendlies setTriggerStatements ["{_x in thisList}foreach EOS_Players","",""];

If the units are actually inside a vehicle it won't because thisList will contain a (or more) vehicles. Also the var player is only set localy if a isDedicated = false.

So if you also want the trigger to check for units inside vehicles you would also have to check the cargo of each thisList item.

I can fix the script, i'm not sure tho wheter it should fire if every unit is inside the trigger area or if one of them (or more) is inside it.

July 9, 2013

So I was going to use the function onMapSingleClick in one of my missions.

I was wondering tho (and tried to search but couldn't find anything on it). It basically works the same as onEachFrame, but that was replaced (or well superseeded) by addMissionEventHandler ["Draw3D",~.

The reason for this was that this way if script makers create a script using it it wouldn't be overwritten by a custom mission using it.

Does anyone know of there's a similar thing for onMapSingleClick? And does anyone know any other addMissionEventHandler bindings, the wiki has some rather bad documentation about it.

July 5, 2013

Thx for the help! I'll go and try my luck again this evening.

July 4, 2013

I am at a los. I can't seem to figure out how the positioning of this function works.

I want a piece of text at the spot where hints are. I previously used hints to output a timer but since they gave it a sound that's not really an option anymore.

What I have (but is not working).

_text = "<t align='right' size='1'>Test</t>";
[_text, safezoneX + 0.1 * safezoneW, safezoneY + safezoneW - 0.3, 1, 0] spawn BIS_fnc_dynamicText;

Also can anyone enlighten me about the 6th parameter:

_this select 6: (Optional) Resource layer

Can I just use a random number there so another spawn of BIS_fnc_dynamicText won't destroy the first handle?

June 28, 2013

So I was wondering. If I use this:

VehicleGroup = VehicleGroup + _AVehicle;
publicVariable "VehicleGroup ";

Does this send the whole vehicle array over the network or just something like the netId? And if I use that array on a client will it actually enumerate the vehicles or like a copy of them.

For example:

//Server
VehicleGroup = VehicleGroup + _AVehicle;
publicVariable "VehicleGroup ";

//Client
{
  if(_x == MYVEHICLE) then //MYVEHICLE is just a symbolic meaning
 {
   _x setPos [0,0,0];
  }
} foreach VehicleGroup ;

Will the actual vehicle pos be set on the client (if that's where the vehicle is local ofcourse), or not because it's a publicVariabled var.

To get an idea why I ask the question:

Will above work or should I go with an implementation like this:

VehicleGroup = VehicleGroup + (netId _AVehicle);
publicVariable "VehicleGroup ";

And then do a local lookup based on the netId on the clients (which then has some overhead because of the lookup).

Second question:

What if I use setVariable like this:

player setVariable ["currentVehicle", _vehicle];

Is that actually efficient? And if I use getVariable do I actually have the vehicle or like a copy of it?

June 26, 2013

it would be this in the vehicle init:

[this, "marker_name", 1] execVM "marker_units.sqf";

June 26, 2013

You would have to create an list of admins which can lock and unlock vehicles.

a simple google searched reveilid this:

June 26, 2013

you don't need the then behind the do.

Your waiuntil does the same as my function with the difference that your's checks if the player is IN a vehicle where mine checks if it's in the specified vehicle.

And waituntil is a bigger performance hit (atleast that's whay I read somewhere I believe) that's why I check each second.

June 26, 2013

In your situation I would use a case:

_testsp == floor(random 5);
switch (_testsp) do
{
case 0:
{
	box setPos [ getPos Destroyer select 0, getPos Destroyer select 1, (getPos Destroyer select 2) -29];
       box setDir 0;
};
case 1:
{
	box setPos [ getPos Osprey select 0, getPos Osprey select 1, (getPos Osprey select 2) -7.5];
       box setDir 45;
};
//etc
};

Also random creates a number witch can also be 0.1, or 2.34343 so you should use floor as I did.

floor(random 5) = 0,1,2,3,4

See http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/random

June 26, 2013

hmm.

You could try the killed eventhandler.

Delete the unitgearHandle part.

In the mission init.sqf:

player execVM "removegear.sqf";
player addEventHandler ["KILLED", {
 [] spawn
 {
   // Wait for respawn.
   waitUntil { alive player };

   // Wait until the unit has its equipment reset after the respawn.  
   waitUntil { (count (weapons player)) > 0 };

   player execVM "removegear.sqf";
 };
}];

June 26, 2013

Unfortunatly you cannot remove those predefined action. If you want a player to remain inside a vehicle for a period of time you could script it.

playerMustStayInVehicle = true;
while { playerMustStayInVehicle } do
{
if(vehicle player != thevehicle)
{
	player moveInDriver thevehicle;
};
       sleep 1;
};

And you can set to false when the check should stop.

June 26, 2013

make a new file and call it removegear.sqf

removegear.sqf

removeAllWeapons _this;
removeAllAssignedItems _this;
removeAllContainers _this;
_this addUniform "U_B_HeliPilotCoveralls";
_this addWeapon "ItemMap";
_this addWeapon "ItemCompass";
_this addWeapon "ItemRadio";
_this addWeapon "ItemWatch";
_this addWeapon "ItemGPS";
_this addItem "FirstAidKit";
_this addItem "FirstAidKit";
_this addHeadgear "H_CrewHelmetHeli_B";
_this addVest "V_TacVest_oli";
_this addMagazine ["16Rnd_9x21_Mag", 16];
_this addMagazine ["16Rnd_9x21_Mag", 16];
_this addMagazine ["16Rnd_9x21_Mag", 16];
_this addMagazine ["16Rnd_9x21_Mag", 16];
_this addMagazine ["16Rnd_9x21_Mag", 16];
_this addWeapon "hgun_P07_snds_F";

and annother script called unitgearHandle.sqf

unitgearHandle.sqf

_player = _this;
waitUntil { (alive player) };
_player execVM "removegear.sqf";
while { true } do
{
   //Waits till player dies
   waitUntil { !(alive player) };
   //Player died, wait till he's back alive
   waitUntil { (alive player) };

  _player execVM "removegear.sqf";
};

Then in the missions init.sqf (this makes sure everyone joining will have this script executed). Now you don't need anything anymore in the unit's init field.

player execVM "unitgearHandle.sqf";

June 26, 2013

You can either save the loadout at intervals so you respawn with the same gear you had when you died:

http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?148577-GET-SET-Loadout-(saves-and-loads-pretty-much-everything)

Or you use a script like this:

while { true } do
{
//Waits till player dies
waitUntil { !(alive player) };
//Player died, wait till he's back alive
waitUntil { (alive player) };
//Insert your gear script here:
};

June 26, 2013

Not sure if you could use attachTo but you could do this

vehicle init:

while {alive this} do
{
 "mymarker" setMarkerPos getPos this;
 "mymarker" setMarkerDir getDir this;
 sleep 1; //Decrease if you want it to be more smooth
};
