  3. Passing variables to a script?

    in Scripting

    Posted

    Hmmm, something's still not right. My extrarc file is broken, I'm sure my syntax sucks.

    		class Kobalt5 {
		text = "Spawn OP AH6J";
		script = "["AH6J_EP1"] execVM ""custom\admindeploy\opheli.sqf"";";
                };

    16:42:46 File mpmissions\dayz_Epoch_24.Napf\custom\extra_rc.hpp, line 38: '/ExtraRc/EvKobalt/Kobalt5.script': Missing ';' at the end of line
    16:42:46 Error context ] execVM ""custom\admindeploy\opheli.sqf"";";
    ErrorMessage: File mpmissions\dayz_Epoch_24.Napf\custom\extra_rc.hpp, line 38: '/ExtraRc/EvKobalt/Kobalt5.AH6J_EP1': '"' encountered instead of '='

     

    If I ever get this working I'll happily polish it up and post it here, you know, for science.

  6. Passing variables to a script?

    First of all this forum is great, I've learned so much just by reading. I'm a noob, so please go easy on me. I'm trying to reduce the number of duplicate scripts I have to get the mission file size down. Yes, apparently there's still scripting noobs out there, I feel like I should have taken this up years ago it's so much fun.

     

    I have an extra_rc class set up like this

            class EvKobalt {
		class Kobalt5 {
		text = "Spawn OP AH6J";
		script = "execVM 'custom\admindeploy\opah6j.sqf'";
                };
	};

    and opah6j.sqf looks like this:

    _itemsPlayer = items player;
if (dayz_combat == 1) then { 
    cutText [format["You are in Combat and cannot build an AH6J."], "PLAIN DOWN"];
} else {

	player playActionNow "Medic";
	r_interrupt = false;
	_dis=10;	
	sleep 6;
	
	_object = "AH6J_EP1" createVehicle (position player);
	_object setVariable ["ObjectID", "1", true];
	_object setVariable ["ObjectUID", "1", true];
	_object setVariable ["MalSar",1,true];
	_object addWeapon "GAU8";
	_object addMagazine "1350Rnd_30mmAP_A10";
	_object addWeapon "HellfireLauncher";
	_object addMagazine "8Rnd_Hellfire";
	_object addWeapon "SidewinderLaucher_F35";
	_object addMagazine "2Rnd_Sidewinder_F35";
	_object addWeapon "BombLauncherF35";
	_object addMagazine "2Rnd_GBU12";
	
	_object attachto [player,[0.0,5.0,2]];
	_object setfuel 0.5;
	sleep 3;
	detach _object;
	player reveal _object;

	cutText [format["You've made a AH6J!"], "PLAIN DOWN"];
	
	r_interrupt = false;
	player switchMove "";
	player playActionNow "stop";
	
	sleep 10;
	
	cutText [format["Warning: Spawned AH6Js DO NOT SAVE after server restart!"], "PLAIN DOWN"];
	
};

    What? Don't judge me. I pay the rent on the server, and if I decide I was a little bird with a Gau-8, helfire, and GBU-12s then I'mma spawn it!

     

    What I'd like to do is convert this script so I can pass a vehicle classname to it in the extra rc file, but I'm not clear on how this works. I think what I need to do is something like this, but I can't get the syntax right.

     

    script = [bAF_Apache_AH1_D] "execVM 'custom\admindeploy\opah6j.sqf'";

     

    then

    _itemsPlayer = items player;
if (dayz_combat == 1) then { 
    cutText [format["You are in Combat and cannot build an AH6J."], "PLAIN DOWN"];
} else {

	player playActionNow "Medic";
	r_interrupt = false;
	_dis=10;	
	sleep 6;
	
	_object = %1 createVehicle (position player);
	_object setVariable ["ObjectID", "1", true];
	_object setVariable ["ObjectUID", "1", true];
	_object setVariable ["MalSar",1,true];
	_object addWeapon "GAU8";
	_object addMagazine "1350Rnd_30mmAP_A10";
	_object addWeapon "HellfireLauncher";
	_object addMagazine "8Rnd_Hellfire";
	_object addWeapon "SidewinderLaucher_F35";
	_object addMagazine "2Rnd_Sidewinder_F35";
	_object addWeapon "BombLauncherF35";
	_object addMagazine "2Rnd_GBU12";
	
	_object attachto [player,[0.0,5.0,2]];
	_object setfuel 0.5;
	sleep 3;
	detach _object;
	player reveal _object;

	cutText [format["You've made a AH6J!"], "PLAIN DOWN"];
	
	r_interrupt = false;
	player switchMove "";
	player playActionNow "stop";
	
	sleep 10;
	
	cutText [format["Warning: Spawned AH6Js DO NOT SAVE after server restart!"], "PLAIN DOWN"];
	
};

    But that doesn't work. Am I supposed to declare a private variable like this

     

    private ["_spawnveh"]

     

    and then

     

    _spawnveh = %1

     

    and then

     

    _object = _spawnveh createVehicle (position player);

     

    Or maybe I'm supposed to use the (to me) strange

     

    _spawnveh = _this select 0

     

    Another question I have is is it ok to move this script to server side? Is there any reason it woudln't work if I called it with

     

    /z/dayz_server/script.sqf

     

    Any guidance is appreciated. Thank you all.
