Variable Checking Problem (Help!!)

[Variable Checking Problem (Help!!)]

player getVariable "INV"

returns

["BLA1","BLA2","BLA3"]

So

(player getVariable "INV") select 0

returns "BLA1".

[Turning vehicles lights off]

Seems, this code works:

while {true} do {
_nearestVehicles = nearestObjects [player, ["Car", "Tank", "Air"], 1000];

{
	_vehicle = _x;

	if (({alive _x} count (crew _vehicle)) == 0) then {
		_unitGroup = createGroup civilian;

		_unit = _unitGroup createUnit ["TK_CIV_Takistani01_EP1", getPos _vehicle, [], 0, "NONE"];

		_unit moveInDriver _vehicle;

		_unit action ["lightOff", _vehicle];

		moveOut _unit;

		deleteVehicle _unit;

		deleteGroup _unitGroup;
	};
}
forEach _nearestVehicles;

sleep 10;
};

kyopower, save code

while {true} do {
_nearestVehicles = nearestObjects [player, ["Car", "Tank", "Air"], 1000];

{
	_reflectors = configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> (typeOf _x) >> "Reflectors";

	_reflectorsNumber = count _reflectors;

	for "_i" from 0 to (_reflectorsNumber - 1) do {
		_reflector = _reflectors select _i;

		_x setHit [getText (_reflector >> "selection"), 1];
	};
}
forEach _nearestVehicles;

sleep 10;
};

and launch from init.sqf using

execVM "scriptName.sqf";

This script doesn't work properly. For example, it destroys only front lights of HMMWV CROWS (M2).

[How to Add Class in the Unit addAction?]

Use

((player isKindOf "B_Helipilot_F") or (player isKindOf "B_officer_F"))

or

((typeOf player) in ["B_Helipilot_F", "B_officer_F"])

or

copy the whole script just changing the class as well

[Request Function to return relative position based on a few params]

Is it?

Function:

private ["_keystonePos", "_playerPos", "_relativeDir", "_relativePos"];

_relativeDir = [player, _this] call BIS_fnc_relativeDirTo;

_playerPos = getPos player;
_keystonePos = getPos _this;

_relativePos = [(_playerPos select 0) - (_keystonePos select 0), (_playerPos select 1) - (_keystonePos select 1), (_playerPos select 2) - (_keystonePos select 2)];

[_relativePos, _relativeDir]

Usage:

_array = _keystone call functionName;

[Turning vehicles lights off]

Not working. Spawning civilians outside the vehicles.

Replace string with createUnit to

_unit = _unitGroup createUnit ["TK_CIV_Takistani01_EP1", getPos _vehicle, [], 0, "NONE"];

Btw, that method could cause more lag than we would like to have.

Decrease radius, reduce list of vehicles.

[Turning vehicles lights off]

Try to use this code:

_nearestVehicles = nearestObjects [player, ["Car", "Tank", "Air"], 1000];

{
_vehicle = _x;

if (({alive _x} count (crew _vehicle)) == 0) then {
	_unitGroup = createGroup civilian;

	_unit = "TK_CIV_Takistani01_EP1" createUnit [getPos _vehicle, _unitGroup];

	_unit moveInDriver _vehicle;

	_unit action ["lightOff", _vehicle];

	deleteVehicle _unit;

	deleteGroup _unitGroup;
};
}
forEach _nearestVehicles;

[Function to save inventory]

Try to use this function:

{

		_items = _x;

		{
			_array set [
				count _array,
				[
					typeOf _x,
					damage _x
				]
			];
		}
		forEach _items;
	}
	else {diag_log "THIS IS NOT AN ARRAY"};
}
forEach _this;

_array
};

[Invincibilty on vehicles and infantry in single player scenarios and campaign]

I am just not certain how to execute them :confused:.

Add this code into init field of group's leader:

{_x addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", {false}]} forEach (units (group this));

[Open helicopter doors at altitude below 3 meters]

Add this command in init field:

this execVM "watchForAltitude.sqf";

watchForAltitude.sqf:

while {true} do {
_position = getPosASL _this;

if (!(surfaceIsWater _position)) then {_position = ASLtoATL _position};

_altitude = _position select 2;

if (_altitude <= 3) then {
	switch (true) do {
		case (_this isKindOf "B_Heli_Transport_01_F"): {
			{_this animateDoor _x} forEach [
				[_doorname, _phase, _now],
				...
			];
		};
		case (_this isKindOf "B_Heli_Transport_03_base_F"): {
			{_this animateDoor _x} forEach [
				[_doorname, _phase, _now],
				...
			];
		};
	};
}
else {
	switch (true) do {
		case (_this isKindOf "B_Heli_Transport_01_F"): {
			{_this animateDoor _x} forEach [
				[_doorname, _phase, _now],
				...
			];
		};
		case (_this isKindOf "B_Heli_Transport_03_base_F"): {
			{_this animateDoor _x} forEach [
				[_doorname, _phase, _now],
				...
			];
		};
	};
};

sleep 0.1;
};

_doorname, _phase and _now you need to take from configs of Ghosthawk and Huron (use config viewer).

[Turning vehicles lights off]

Not sure.

If player isn't in vehicle he can't turn light off.

[Turning vehicles lights off]

I think that's impossible because there isn't such scripting command.

[Move to nearest Shore]

_pos = _this select 0;

if ((count _position) > 0) then {_position} else {getArray (configFile >> "CfgWorlds" >> worldName >> "mapcenter")};

[Detects whether is position within marker area.]

My version of function to detect whether is object within marker of "ellipse" or "rectangle" type:

private ["_angle", "_distance", "_markerName", "_markerPosition", "_markerSize", "_markerSizeA", "_markerSizeB", "_object"];

_object = _this select 0;
_markerName = _this select 1;

_markerPosition = getMarkerPos _markerName;
_markerSize = getMarkerSize _markerName;

_markerSizeA = _markerSize select 0;
_markerSizeB = _markerSize select 1;

_angle = ([_markerPosition, _object] call BIS_fnc_dirTo) - (markerDir _markerName);

if (_angle < 0) then {_angle = 360 + _angle};

if ((markerShape _markerName) == "ELLIPSE") then {
_distance = _markerSizeA * _markerSizeB / (sqrt ((_markerSizeA * (cos _angle)) ^ 2 + (_markerSizeB * (sin _angle)) ^ 2));

_markerSizeA = abs (_distance * (sin _angle));
_markerSizeB = abs (_distance * (cos _angle));
};

_distance = [_object, _markerPosition] call BIS_fnc_distance2D;

((abs (_distance * (sin _angle))) < _markerSizeA) and {(abs (_distance * (cos _angle))) < _markerSizeB}

Usage:

isWithinMarker = compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers "isWithinMarker.sqf");

if ([player, "marker1"] call isWithinMarker) then {hint "You are within marker area"};

It depends on what should be saved. I use this extension to save player's inventory and position, objects, etc. IniDBi works fine.

[init line for vehicles spawned during mission, not placed in editor]

I'd like all boats to spawn with the same init line (which adds a push back script to the player's menu while in or near the boat).

One of solutions:

player addAction ["Something", "script.sqf", nil, 1.5, true, true, "", "((typeOf cursorTarget) in boats) and {(cursorTarget distance player) <= 5}"];

player addAction ["Something", "script.sqf", nil, 1.5, true, true, "", "(typeOf (vehicle player)) in boats"];

Diameter: 49

sizeOf returns max size - diameter.

Also I think that it's impossible to change its size.

[disable smoke screen for vehicles]

If I'm not mistaken, commander's seat of tanks (Varsuk, etc) has turret path [0,0], but commander's seat of cars (Strider, etc) - [1]. Thus "varsuk removeWeaponTurret ["SmokeLauncher", [0,0]]" works, but "strider removeWeaponTurret ["SmokeLauncher", [0,0]]" doesn't.

[disable smoke screen for vehicles]

By default drivers/pilots (turret path is [-1]) or commanders ([1] or [0,0]) have smoke launcher. So you need to use

this removeWeaponTurret ["SmokeLauncher", [-1]]

or

this removeWeaponTurret ["SmokeLauncher", [1]]

or

this removeWeaponTurret ["SmokeLauncher", [0,0]]

More universal solution:

{if ("SmokeLauncher" in (this weaponsTurret _x)) exitWith {this removeWeaponTurret ["SmokeLauncher", _x]}} forEach (allTurrets this);

[disable smoke screen for vehicles]

Try to use removeWeaponTurret.
