  3. Restricted Building Areas

    in Scripting

    Posted

    Hey all,

     

    I did a search and only found marginally helpful information.  Does anyone know off the top of their head how to add an area to the map that is a no-build zone?

     

    Figured I'd ask before digging deep into the client/server code if somebody had figured this out already.

  4. Add & Remove Players Kripto from there bank

    in Scripting

    Posted

    And so more info on that, it is instantaneous when you edit their account from Redis

     

    there's a post I made on how to make changes to the banks in game programatically.

     

    Here's how it works... mostly.

     

    1. Player logs in (client has no idea of bank balance, it is null now)

    2. Player opens bank terminal at payphone (bank balance is loaded)

    3. Player does something with bank (bank balance altered)

    4. Player closes bank windows (bank balance is nulled again on clientside)

     

     

    so you need to emulate step #2 to grab their balance and then pass the right hive calls to modify their balance.

     

    an in answer to your previous question, so long as the player does not have their bank terminal open, any changes to their redis balance is instant.

  9. setRank script

    in Scripting

    Posted

    Thanks again hambeast for the scripting help. I'm not all that familiar with sqf, but I recognize coding patterns from other languages.

    I had to add in a wait for ingame and I did some other modifications to the script.

    With your permission I'd like to post the final script in the A3 Epoch Resources/Scripts for others to use.

    Original script credit to you of course.

     

    Here is the final script I intend to post.

    //ranks.sqf
//Original Script by hambeast
//Modified and Completed by Evan Black

// Wait for ingame
waitUntil {!isNuLL(uiNameSpace getVariable ["EPOCH_loadingScreen",displayNull])};
waitUntil {isNuLL(uiNameSpace getVariable ["EPOCH_loadingScreen",displayNull])};
sleep 2; //Optional delay to ensure script execution

// Rank/UID list. Use Example Below.
//UID Example: Ranks_CORPORAL        =    ["7656xxxxxxxxxxxxxx","7656xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"]; no trailing coma
Ranks_CORPORAL        =    [];
Ranks_SERGEANT        =    [];
Ranks_LIEUTENANT    =    [];
Ranks_CAPTAIN        =    [];
Ranks_MAJOR        =    [];
Ranks_COLONEL        =    [];

_playerUID = getPlayerUID player; //get player UID


// loop to check to see if our player matches
_found = false;
while {!_found} do {
    if (_playerUID in Ranks_CORPORAL) then {
        player setRank "CORPORAL";
        _found = true; // endloop
    }else{
        if (_playerUID in Ranks_SERGEANT) then {
            player setRank "SERGEANT";
            _found = true;

        }else{
            if (_playerUID in Ranks_LIEUTENANT) then {
                player setRank "LIEUTENANT";
                _found = true;

            }else{
                if (_playerUID in Ranks_CAPTAIN) then {
                    player setRank "CAPTAIN";
                    _found = true;

                }else{
                    if (_playerUID in Ranks_MAJOR) then {
                        player setRank "MAJOR";
                        _found = true;

                    }else{
                        if (_playerUID in Ranks_COLONEL) then {
                            player setRank "COLONEL";
                            _found = true;

                        }else{
                            player setRank "PRIVATE"; //setting default rank for all others
                            _found = true;
                            
                        };
                    };
                };
            };    
        };    
    };
};

     

     

    Swash, I am so happy what I typed helped you out!   I think we forget sometimes, just how hard it is to make the jump into Arma coding from other languages.  But... once you get the basics, the rest will become clear.

  10. setRank script

    in Scripting

    Posted

    first google result:

    https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setRank

     

     

    You would call this within your script block.

    player setRank "COLONEL"

     

     

    If you're asking how to implement this in your mission file... You could hardcode your group members ranks by ID in your init.sqf or anywhere else in your mission file if you liked...

     

    something like this could work... no idea if it actually does what you want though...

    // ranks.sqf  -  called from init.sqf

// we could have 1 big multi-dim array containing each users ID and Rank but...
// that would make this harder to adjust in the future since this is a manual
// process.   If you were to load this data from a DB for instance, you might
// want to keep it in a multi-dimensional array like: 
// [["1234","PRIVATE"],["231","General"]]
Ranks_PRIVATE		=	[
							"1234567",	// Me
							"7654321" 	// No trailing ,!
						];
Ranks_CORPORAL		=	[];
Ranks_SERGEANT		=	[];
Ranks_LIEUTENANT	=	[];
Ranks_CAPTAIN		=	[];
Ranks_MAJOR			=	[];
Ranks_COLONEL		=	[]; 



_playerUID = player getPlayerUID;
_found = false;
_rank = "PRIVATE"; // default private rank

// check to see if our player matches 

while {!_found} do {
	if (_playerUID in Ranks_PRIVATE) then {
		_rank = "PRIVATE";
		_found = true; // breaks us out of this while loop
	};
	// ... and so on
};

// finally set our players rank!
player setRank _rank;

  18. [TUTORIAL] How to use Public Variables

    in A2: Epoch Mods (1.0.5.1)

    Posted

    btw if you are using the stock a3 antihacks, put a file named "skaro.sqf" in your arma3 directory (next to arma3.exe)  and you can put code inside of it you want to test out.  This only works for clientside code so IDK how helpful it will be for your serverside stuff but you can at least call serverside PVEH's with it.

     

    I think the default keybind is f12 or f11

  24. [TUTORIAL] How to use Public Variables

    in A2: Epoch Mods (1.0.5.1)

    Posted

     

    Hey, I saw your tutorial on publiceventhandlers, but I just can't seem to get it well enough to apply it to my script.
     
    I want players to hear my player groan when he is playing possum. (from superfunmenu)
     
    As it is now, only client can hear the groan. 
     
    I was hoping you could help me with the basics of getting other players to hear/see my desired sounds/animations.
     
    Thanks man.

     

     

     

    What you want to do is define a PVEH on the clientside (most likely in the init.sqf or a sqf file called from that) that when fired off, plays a sound.

     

    How you fire it off is the tricky part as you probably only want people in say a 30m radius to hear the sound.  You could be lazy and just fire it off to everyone.

     

     

    So here's how I would do it quick and dirty.  Note, there is probably a better way to do this but its monday...

     

    So, you need 2 pveh.

     

    1.  Serverside PVEH to get our call from our player and send to other players

    2.  Clientside PVEH to actually play the sound.

    // Serverside PVEH (Init this in your server.pbo)
if (isDedicated) then {
	// expects [Player,Radius]
	"PVEH_PlaySoundServer" addPublicVariableEventHandler {
		private["_packet", "_sender", "_radius", "_playersToSend"];
		_packet = _this select 1;
		_sender = _packet select 0;
		_radius = _packet select 1;
		
		_playersToSend = nearestObjects [_sender, ["CAmanBase"], _radius];
		
		{
			_clientID = owner _x;
			PVEH_PlaySoundClient = [];
			_clientID publicVaribleClient "PVEH_PlaySoundClient";
			
		} forEach _playersToSend;	
	};
};


// Clientside PVEH (init this in your mission.pbo)
if (!isDedicated) then {
	// expects []
	"PVEH_PlaySoundClient" addPublicVariableEventHandler {
		// play sound code goes here	
	};
};

    Now please note, that the "get players within raidus" code is probably inefficient and probably buggy.  I'm sure there is a better way to do this and you are free to look into that part, I just wrote this up real quick to give you an idea on how you can do this.

     

     

    edit: sorry I forgot, somewhere in your code to kick this off, you will need to call a publicVariableServer command to kick it off like this:

    PVEH_PlaySoundServer = [player,30]; // [player,radius]
publicVariableServer "PVEH_PlaySoundServer";
