How to pass params from mission.sqm to script?

[Sundowner]

I am trying to call a generic base protection script from a sensor in mission.sqm but cannot get the params working.

 

Exerpt from mission.sqm:

// Sun base

class Item10
{
position[]={10625,30,9182};
a=50;
b=50;
activationBy="WEST";
repeating=1;
interruptable=1;
age="UNKNOWN";
name="base_generic";
expCond="(vehicle player) in thislist;";
expActiv="base_generic = ['Sun',['123456789']] execVM ""markers\base_generic.sqf"";";
expDesactiv="terminate base_generic; titleText [""You left the base."", ""PLAIN DOWN"", 5];";
class Effects{};
};

It seems expActive is not calling base_generic.sqf

 

Target sqf:

//Base Protection by Sun (based on code by ZSquad)
//private["_c","_ownerName","_owners","_owner","_visitorUID"]; //is this required?

_c = count _this;
if(_c < 1) exitWith { cutText[format["Base_Generic Error: _this params count = %1,_c],5]; };

_ownerName = _this select 0;
_owners = _this select 1;
_owner = _owners select 0;

_visitorUID = getPlayerUID player;

//Default
_canEnter = false;

titleText [format["SCANNING RETINA: %1", _ownerName], "PLAIN", 5];
sleep 5;

if (_visitorUID in _owners) then { _canEnter = true; };

// friendly to owner?
if(_visitorUID != _owner) then
{
_friendlies = _visitorUID getVariable ["friendlyTo",[]];
if(_owner in _friendlies) then {
_canEnter = true;
};
};

//Is Admin?
if (_visitorUID in FastBuilding) then { _canEnter = true; };
sleep 5;

if (_canEnter) exitWith {
titleText [format ["Access Granted: %1", name player], "PLAIN", 10];
};

// Access denied to all others
titleText ["RESTRICTED AREA - NO ACCESS!", "PLAIN", 5];
sleep 5;
titleText ["YOU HAVE 15 SECONDS TO LEAVE!", "PLAIN", 5];
sleep 5;
titleText ["YOU HAVE 10 SECONDS TO LEAVE!", "PLAIN", 5];
sleep 5;
titleText ["YOU HAVE 5 SECONDS TO LEAVE!", "PLAIN", 5];
sleep 5;
titleText ["REST IN PEACE...", "PLAIN", 5];
sleep 2;

player setPos[16492,18312,0]; // PVP Island 1

 

Thx in advance for looking at this!

Any thoughts?

 

@nedfox: folders should be correct, it's all client-side relative to root (vilayercustomcode folder). I already have working player-specific files in there.

 

The point of my efforts here is to get a generic routine working so I don't have to make a specific .sqf for every new player base with UID's etc.

 

@KiloSwiss: I have looked at triggers for other purposes but I'm not that advanced.

 

I suspect -

1/ the params need to be double or triple quoted? or

2/ the mission.sqf was never intended to pass params in this way.

 

UPDATE: At last I found the error - double quotes in the right places did it. Thx for input guys.

Have to ask : you do have a folder markers in your mission.pbo with that script in place?

Best asking the obvious first, then work from there :P

[KiloSwiss]

Make an example mission with a trigger, using the same conditions and onAct/onDeact code (don't forget to put the script into the right folder) and try to get this running first.

Then You can implement it into Your actual epoch.<island>.pbo (and ofc also into the mission.sqm).

protip:

Use -showscripterrors and check the client RPT logfile if You experience any errors.
