    I am having this same issue with the Civi box truck, HEMTT Covered transport and HEMTT Box.

    The HEMTT Box is the only one that uses a proxy model, so I can understand why there is no hiddenselection for it, but the others are not in the same situation.

    Maybe a dev could tell us if were missing something?

    ---------- Post added at 07:37 ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 ----------

    I may be able to do a work around, but I have no idea how its going to impact performance. I could texture "usertexture" and "attachto" the vehicle. Id rather not do that though...

    Redstone, im having a hard time understanding what you meant.

    I am aware that containers_02_set_co.paa is the container in question, but I am unable find the selection for replacement.

    Redstone, im having a hard time understanding what you meant.

    I am aware that containers_02_set_co.paa is the container in question, but I am unable find the selection for replacement. I am having issues locating the rear section of the HEMTT Box, Covered transport, Civilian Box-Van.

    I have changed textures to null, one section at a time, and I cant find it.

    Giving that a try now

    ---------- Post added at 07:20 ---------- Previous post was at 06:42 ----------

    No success. I attempted to set every texture on the vehicle, one by one, to transparent and I was not able to locate the damn box. It has a PAA and there is no indication of it being a proxy model, so im lost. Attempted the same with the covered transport HEMITT.

    BIS Dev help would be appreciated! ANY HELP would be appreciated!

    Hey everyone!

    I am attempting to put a texture on "C_Van_01_box_F", however the section of texture I am editing, I can not find.

    Arma3_CfgVehicles_C_Van_01_box_F.jpg

    I am attempting to replace "van_01_adds_co.paa" on that vehicle but when it comes time to set the texture, I cant seem to find the proper selection number. I have attempted 0 through 5 with no luck.

    Screenshot of original PAA referred to - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/61911880/Capture1.PNG (773 kB)

    Below is my PAA and the final vehicle init I attempted. The texture is in the proper location in the mission, its just that section number.

    Init

    this setObjectTexture [5,"textures\van_01_adds_co.paa"];

    Modified PAA - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/61911880/van_01_adds_co.paa

    Screenshot of modified PAA - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/61911880/Capture2.PNG

    Any ideas would be a huge help. Im stumped.

    ---------- Post added at 17:46 ---------- Previous post was at 17:44 ----------

    In addition, This vehicle randomly selects if it should be red or white. Would anyone know how to make it always red? Im assuming you address the texture in the Soft_F PBO, but I dont know how to address between PBOs.

    Here is the best suggestion I can think of. Modify my script to save the proper data.

    You are free to use this as you wish, just please leave the original credits.

    //Wyatt's score management script
/*
This script saves players data every 2 minutes.  When players reconnect to the game, their data is recovered.

//Create the array if it does not already exist.

private ["_id","_present","_s","_debugcount"];
if (isnil "GlobalDataStorageArray0") then {GlobalDataStorageArray0 = []; if (rundebug) then {diag_log text format["scoresave.sqf - GlobalDataStorageArray0 array created."];};};

_present = false; //Declare variable false
_id = getPlayerUID (vehicle player);  //Get player ID and add to variable


//Lets check and see if the player is currently in our array!  If he is in our array, we will give him his score back.
{
    if ( (_x select 0) == (_id) ) exitWith
    {
       _present = true; //If the _id is found in the array, then set the _present var to true!
	player addScore (_x select 1);
	if (rundebug) then {diag_log text format["scoresave.sqf - %1 score has been recovered with ID %2", player, _x];};
	Hint "Welcome back! \nYour score has been recovered.";
	sleep 2;
	Hint "";
    };
} foreach GlobalDataStorageArray0;


//If the player is not in the array, add him to the array then broadcast!
if (!_present) then
{
    GlobalDataStorageArray0 = GlobalDataStorageArray0 + [ [_id, score player] ];
    publicVariable "GlobalDataStorageArray0";
 if (rundebug) then {diag_log text format["scoresave.sqf - New player, %1, has been added to the score save array with ID %2 and has been pushed public.", player, _id];};
};


//Score save loop!
for [{_s=0},{_s<1},{_s=_s}] do
{
   sleep 100+(random 40); //Wait approx. 2 mins +/- 20 seconds
    {
         if ( (_x select 0) == (_id) ) exitWith
         {
              _x set [1, score player]; //Put the player's current score in the array
		   if (rundebug) then {diag_log text format["scoresave.sqf - %1 score has been UPDATED with the following information %2", player, _x];};
         };
    } foreach GlobalDataStorageArray0;
    publicVariable "GlobalDataStorageArray0";
if (rundebug) then {
if (isnil "_debugcount") then {_debugcount = 0};
_debugcount = _debugcount + 1;
diag_log text format["scoresave.sqf - Infinite loop in script has reached its goal.  Loop has reached a count of %1", _debugcount];};
};
if (rundebug) then {diag_log text format["scoresave.sqf - DANGER! The script should have not made it here due to the infinite loop.  This is the end of the script."];};

    Note that for all my scripts, I have rundebug = true or false in the init script. For this script, just add that near the top.

    Purepassion - The M107 anti tank is going to be used as a special ability for a sniper in one of my game modes. He will be limited to firing a sabot round from his gun once every so often.

    Rydygier - Thanks! I will give it a quick test soon and let you know of the outcome!

    ---------- Post added at 06:13 ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 ----------

    Given I made a few modifications, Its working!

    The following code, when applied to a units init scrip, will replace the end result with the one specified.

    In the example of the KSVK, bullet maintains its standard trajectory and ricochet properties. Upon impact it changes into the desired effect. In this case, a tank SABOT round.

    this addeventhandler ["fired",{
_btype = _this select 1;
if (_btype == "ksvk" or _btype == "m107") then {
   _velo = velocity (_this select 6);
_dir = getdir (_this select 6);
_pos = getpos (_this select 6);
_vect = vectorDir (_this select 6);
deleteVehicle (_this select 6);

_dX = 1 * (sin _dir);
_dY = 1 * (cos _dir);

_px = (_pos select 0) + _dX;
_py = (_pos select 1) + _dY;

_bullet = "Sh_120_SABOT" createVehicle [0,0,50];
_bullet setpos [_px,_py,(_pos select 2)];
_bullet setvelocity _velo;
_bullet setvectordir _vect;  
};}];

    By no means is this script made to be ran in a production environment as is. This snippet is simply a doorway into what you can expand upon.

    Okay, more questions!

    Is there a way to detect if a players binoculars are being looked through? How can I get the position he is looking at?

  21. Posted

    Well, I am still stumped.

    I have used "this addeventhandler ["fired",{_this set [6, "Sh_120_SABOT"]}];" with no success, and no errors.

    Considering that the bullet is spawned as a vehicle, I think this may be much harder. Here is the process I am currently thinking of. If someone knows an easier way, let me know.

    1. Get bullets position, speed, direction, etc.

    2. Delete bullet.

    3. Create "Sh_120_SABOT"

    4. Apply position, speed, direction, etc.

    ---------- Post added at 19:35 ---------- Previous post was at 18:12 ----------

    Okay, I have made some progress, not much though.

    My current issue with this, is that the player firing dies instantly.

    It looks like the round is impacting the unit that fires, that or recoil is killing him.

    Help?

    this addeventhandler ["fired",{

_velo = velocity (_this select 6);
_vect = vectordir (_this select 6);
_pos = getpos (_this select 6);
deleteVehicle (_this select 6);

_bullet = "Sh_120_SABOT" createVehicle _pos;
_bullet setpos _pos;
_bullet setvelocity _velo;
_bullet setvectordir _vect;
}];

    I figured out that problem, but a new one arrises.

    Is there any way to get the position of a player, plus one meter to his front? I know how to move it in accordance with the poles, but I need it in accordance with the players direction.

    Okay, I messed up on providing instructions...

    For all intents and purposes, you should not be modifying the storage array for any real reason. The storage array works as an array inside an array, first segment being the players ID and the second being the saved value. You simply can not subtract an integer from a whole array, containing nothing but arrays.

    For situations that you have to add or remove score, use "player addScore 10;" or "player addScore -10;". The script currently saves the local players score every two minutes, then pushes it out on a public variable for recovery later.

    The below script is set up to read the variable "mymoney" every two minutes, and upon reconnect it should restore your score.

    Note on storage of variables. Variables to be stored can not be local/private variables due to the fact that upon restoration, the data will not leave the script.

    You can store any global variable or object specific variable quite easily. On another note, if you were saving how much cash a player has, it would be recommended to use "player setVariable [mymoney, 1000]" and "player getvariable "mymoney";".

    //Wyatt's score management script
/*
This script saves players scores every 2 minutes.  When players reconnect to the game, their score is recovered.
*/

//Create the array if it does not already exist.

private ["_id","_present","_s","_debugcount"];
if (isnil "DataStorageArray0") then {DataStorageArray0 = []; if (rundebug) then {diag_log text format["scoresave.sqf - DataStorageArray0 array created."];};};

_present = false; //Declare variable false
_id = getPlayerUID (vehicle player);  //Get player ID and add to variable


//Lets check and see if the player is currently in our array!  If he is in our array, we will give him his data back.
{
    if ( (_x select 0) == (_id) ) exitWith
    {
       _present = true; //If the _id is found in the array, then set the _present var to true!
	mymoney = (_x select 1);
	if (rundebug) then {diag_log text format["scoresave.sqf - %1 data has been recovered with ID %2 - %3", player, _x, (_x select 1)];};
	Hint "Welcome back! \nYour data has been recovered.";
	sleep 2;
	Hint "";
    };
} foreach DataStorageArray0;


//If the player is not in the array, add him to the array then broadcast!
if (!_present) then
{
    DataStorageArray0 = DataStorageArray0 + [ [_id, mymoney] ];
    publicVariable "DataStorageArray0";
 if (rundebug) then {diag_log text format["scoresave.sqf - New player, %1, has been added to the score save array with ID %2 and has been pushed public.", player, _id];};
};


//Score save loop!

{
   sleep 100+(random 40); //Wait approx. 2 mins +/- 20 seconds
    {
         if ( (_x select 0) == (_id) ) exitWith
         {
              _x set [1, mymoney]; //Put the player's current data in the array
		   if (rundebug) then {diag_log text format["scoresave.sqf - %1 score has been UPDATED with ID %2 and score %3", player, _x, score player];};
         };
    } foreach DataStorageArray0;
    publicVariable "DataStorageArray0";
if (rundebug) then {
if (isnil "_debugcount") then {_debugcount = 0};
_debugcount = _debugcount + 1;
diag_log text format["scoresave.sqf - Infinite loop in script has reached its goal.  Loop has reached a count of %1", _debugcount];};
};
if (rundebug) then {diag_log text format["scoresave.sqf - DANGER! The script should have not made it here due to the infinite loop.  This is the end of the script."];};

    To run this script, place the following in your init.sqf.

    if (!isDedicated && !isServer) then {
if (rundebug) then {diag_log text format["Init.sqf - Is client returns true."];};
_nil = [] execvm "Client\scoresave.sqf";  //You can use additional lines here for other client only scripts.
};

    I have not tested this variant of the script, however it should work in the same nature as my score save script.

    ---------- Post added at 15:47 ---------- Previous post was at 15:46 ----------

    Note! This script is made to be ran in a dedicated server environment!

    ---------- Post added at 16:01 ---------- Previous post was at 15:47 ----------

    Another note, if you need more data stored, expand upon the interal arrays. 

    //Expand upon the recovery portion
mymoney = (_x select 1);  //Your money
player addscore (_x select 2);  //Your score
player setVariable [These_pewpewpoints_are_in_player_namespace, (_x select 3)];  //Whatever you want, etc!

    //Expand upon the new player portion
_pewpewpoints = player getvariable "These_pewpewpoints_are_in_player_namespace";
DataStorageArray0 = DataStorageArray0 + [ [_id, mymoney, score player, _pewpewpoints] ];
_pewpewpoints = "";

    //Expand upon the frequent variable save function
_pewpewpoints = player getvariable "These_pewpewpoints_are_in_player_namespace";
_x set [1, mymoney, score player, _pewpewpoints]; //Put the player's current data in the array
_pewpewpoints = "";

    I suggest you nil out any extra variables you have to place for housecleaning purposes.

    Updated script. Minor loop logic error.

    Sneakers, if your goal is to save the variable so that the player can recover it on reconnect, here is a script I have that can help.

    The following script should be ran by all clients. It will save their data to a public variable array and will load it back to the client when they reconnect.

    Replace the score portion with the variable you would like saved/restored.

    This script has not been tested yet. Please let me know if you encounter any issues. Squint2 shows no errors.

    NOTE: If something is not working right, add "rundebug = true;" at the beginning of the script for a detailed debug log.
