[SOLVED] Spawn civilian hostage with init, and problem with addAction

[[SOLVED] Spawn civilian hostage with init, and problem with addAction]

The addAction does not work

That's because your code is wrong. I guess it should be like this (pay attention to the formatting and readability):

_x addAction [
    ":: Rescue - Rescatar :: ",
    {
        ["Task_CIV_REHEN_NAMUVAKA_1", "SUCCEEDED"] call BIS_fnc_taskSetState;

        {
            _x setCaptive false;
            _x enableAI "PATH";
            _x setUnitPos "AUTO";
        } forEach (units CIV_REHEN_NAMUVAKA_1);

        (units CIV_REHEN_NAMUVAKA_1) joinSilent (group player);
    }
];

 

[Need clarification how the joinSilent command works for spawned groups.]

This is because there is no such event script.

I would like to add this code to the above removing the red part

If you were able to highlight the code, then you can remove it.

addMissionEventHandler ["entityRespawned",{  params ["_new","_old"];  if (_new isKindOf "CAManBase") then {  [_new,face _old] remoteExec ["setFace"];  [_new,speaker _old] remoteExec ["setSpeaker"];  }  }];

This code should be executed once, therefore it should be placed, for instance, in initServer.sqf event script.

I can't seem to get the right bracket arrangement to see if this works.

Make the code readable, don't use strings with code (since code highlighting doesn't work in strings), as I demonstrated, and use programmer's editor with code highlighting.

Do you mean this? If so then this is the bug.

[sending strings to fnc_initvehicle]

I guess that's because of quotes and apostrophes. Try to invert them.

but the vehicle doesn't get the camonet.

That's because BIS_fnc_initVehicle doesn't work with string.

Try this code snippet:

if (_initstring isEqualType "") then {
    ([_cargo] + (parseSimpleArray (format ["[%1]", _initstring]))) call BIS_fnc_initVehicle;
};

You already did so in the second piece of code, just change other params.

@avibird 1, just modify my code:

[Add waypoint function/for random pos in marker]

Don't know for sure -- I just write scripts in accordance to the BIKI, and it says that if radius is zero or positive, then you should use PositionAGL, otherwise you should use PositionASL.

Can i ask.. "-1" is signaling a random distance in the area from centre point?

No, according to the BIKI:

Quote

-1 can be used for exact waypoint placement

 

Just noticed, that PositionASL should be used if radius is negative, so this is fixed version:

_wp = BB addWaypoint [AGLToASL (randomPoint call BIS_fnc_randomPosTrigger), -1];

 

[Add waypoint function/for random pos in marker]

_wp = BB addWaypoint [randomPoint call BIS_fnc_randomPosTrigger, -1];

 

[Add waypoint function/for random pos in marker]

According to the function syntax and example, it also accepts markers.

No.

If script.sqf is available for players, then

"script.sqf" remoteExec ["execVM", allUnits select { isPlayer _x }];

Where is the mistake?

The mistake is that createDiarySubject requires local argument, therefore you need to execute this command using remoteExec.

[ctrlScrollValues returns strange values]

No, I haven't. Why? I need to get correct scroll bar values (or understand what they mean) of items list of vest, this listbox doesn't have any slider.

[ctrlScrollValues returns strange values]

Hello everyone!

 

According to the BIKI, ctrlScrollValues returns values in range 0..1. However, if I scroll down a list, the Y value is greater than 1 -- 11.5715: https://imgbox.com/yqtZo8sv

Is this a bug? If not, what does this number mean?

So I just use this code as trigger condition and set trigger to END1?

Correct.

I also think that the code is counting all the units, but I actually need to only count blufor

Set that the trigger is activated by BLUFOR.

[End scenario when only 30% of enemy left in trigger.]

@janchezs, try this condition (assuming the units are already inside the trigger):

_unitsCount = count thisList;

_unitsCountMin = thisTrigger getVariable ["unitsCountMin", -1];

if (_unitsCountMin < 0) then {
    _unitsCountMin = ceil (0.3 * _unitsCount);

    thisTrigger setVariable ["unitsCountMin", _unitsCountMin];
};

_unitsCount <= _unitsCountMin

 

[[SOLVED] 5 lines only. Can you do it with less?]

By the way, find is case-sensitive, so if you need case-insensitive, you can use, for example, toLowerANSI:

((toLowerANSI _x) find "mark_") == 0

"isEqualTo" is case-sensitive while "==" is not

Aware of this, but in our cases isEqualTo is used to compare numbers, and in this context I prefer to use == because it's shorter.
