UAV Feed/Camera displayed on screen
Dj Rolnik posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hey guys, I am currently working on a mission that would feature some kind of a "command center" (for the lack of better description...) which would have a few screens. Those screens have been set up to receive a texture captured from a camera attached to a uav (to be precise, the Pelter drone from the new Contact DLC). I have used a script kindly provided by @killzone_kid which I have only adjusted for the other drone type and basically looks like this - this is repeated for 12 screens in the init.sqf: laptop1 setObjectTexture [0, "#(argb,512,512,1)r2t(uavrtt1,1)"]; cam1 = "camera" camCreate [0,0,0]; cam1 cameraEffect ["Internal", "Back", "uavrtt1"]; cam1 attachTo [pelter1, [0,0,0], "PiP1_demining_pos"]; addMissionEventHandler ["Draw3D", { _dir = (pelter1 selectionPosition "PiP1_demining_pos") vectorFromTo (pelter1 selectionPosition "PiP1_demining_dir"); cam1 setVectorDirAndUp [ _dir, _dir vectorCrossProduct [-(_dir select 1), _dir select 0, 0] ]; }]; The UAV feeds are being thrown on the screen in sequence one by one. This is how it looks in a test environment with 12 machines - you can see that the last four laptops turn black and show no feed. When I deleted the part of the script responsible for the first laptop, the 9th one worked fine so again - no more than 8 at once. I have two issues with it: - Obviously, I can display no more than 8 feeds at once - any more than that will appear as black screen - similarly, when opening the uav terminal, the turret control window will also appear black/blank. I do not mean to complain, but do you think this is an engine/performance limitation of some kind and there's no way around it? - Will this effect even be global to other players or only local (I fear the latter)? If local, is there a way to display this kind of effect globally to such a scale in a multiplayer environment? I appreciate all the feedback on this topic. Thanks a lot in advance! Adam -
Hi. I'm having an issue with the below script/function, the issue is that all additional group leaders that spawn after the first use the same camera as the first groups leader? So the first group (alpha1_0) spawns and and the shoulder cam shows on the left screen of the first dual monitor... all good... The second group (alpha1_1) spawns (runs the function separately) and the 'stream' correctly shows (now on the right screen) but its the same shoulder cam as the first group alpha 1_0 (attached to the same group leader) I don't understand?? All variables are local aside from tvarray which just chooses next available monitor and i even attempted to create a unique r2t name so each r2t name is alpha1_0 alpha1_1 etc etc. So what have I done wrong? Also what exactly is 'r2t' there is very little information about what that actually is and same goes for 'turretPath' I cannot find much info on the Biki for that? (turretPath: Array - path to the turret with required camera.... what does that actually mean?) Any help appreciated. Cheers.

Hi all, I'm trying to add a feature to a scenario which will allow players to use a menu action to create a camera (in this case a kestrel) which they can fly around in. Then, once they are done scouting, can use another menu action to destroy the camera and return to controlling their soldier. Just on a quick testbed scenario I have the following scripts. In my init.sqf I have Then I have two scripts. In "flyfree.sqf" is have In "Stopflying.sqf" I have: Thus far the main problem I am encountering is that I cannot get any menu actions when you are transferred to controlling the camera. Is this an inherent feature of Arma with no workaround? A second minor problem which may be my client is that in the debug commands I can destroy the camera, but it doesn't automatically return to controlling the soldier. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks
