animations in epoch...

happydayz · July 25, 2015

Have spent the past week looking for a way to make an animation that is executed on a player and/or target to be seen by others on the server. I know that bis_fnc_mp is the 'regular' way to do this... however its disabled by epoch.

Came across the Epoch_server_handle_switchMove.sqf in the epoch serverfiles and noticed that it sends an animation to players around it.


private["_range","_move","_nearBy","_target"];
_target=_this select 0;
if !([_target,_this select 2]call EPOCH_server_getPToken)exitWith{};
_range=0;
_move="";
switch(_this select 1)do{case 1:{_range=1000;
_move="AovrPercMrunSrasWrflDf";
};
case 2:{_range=1000;
_move="epoch_unarmed_jump";
};
};
if(_range > 0 && _move !="")then{_nearBy=(getPosATL _target)nearEntities[["Epoch_Male_F","Epoch_Female_F"],_range];
{[["switchMove",[_target,_move]],(owner _x)]call EPOCH_sendPublicVariableClient;
}forEach(_nearBy-[_target]);
};

having a brain fade and cannot seem to figure out a way to use this principle....

example I have both a _target and player that have animations executed on them. the animations are dependant on specific conditions that are passed to a variable and the animations are then executed by:

  player switchMove _unitActionName;
  
 _target switchMove _preyActionName;

This of course will only be seen locally for the player. Its making this visible by other players thats the hard part...

I know the key must be in here.... its just getting everything in the right order....

if(_range > 0 && _move !="")then{_nearBy=(getPosATL _target)nearEntities[["Epoch_Male_F","Epoch_Female_F"],_range];
{[["switchMove",[_target,_move]],(owner _x)]call EPOCH_sendPublicVariableClient;

regarding temp group it was more the soft log but its not that big a deal.

feel free to have at it to make this all into a seperate pbo.

im off to bed for the night and then work tomorrow :( but ill check in throughout the day and see how ur going!

latest version of the EPOCH_server_handle_Switchmove.sqf

   };

};


// diag_log format['EPOCH SWITCHMOVE SERVERSIDE FUNCTION HAS FINISHED',time];

and the latest way that I am sending the animations to the switchmove for your viewing pleasure.......

if (mocapenabled)  then {    


  
  						player switchMove _unitActionName;
						_target switchMove _preyActionName;
						_targetplayer = _target;
						
						//sends to the server the animation for a Mocap Enabled player
						EPOCH_switchMove_PVS = [player, _animationcase, Epoch_personalToken, _targetplayer];
						publicVariableServer "EPOCH_switchMove_PVS";
						_handled = true;
					
						//sends to the server the animation for a NON Mocap player
						EPOCH_switchMove_PVS = [player, 19, Epoch_personalToken, _targetplayer];
						publicVariableServer "EPOCH_switchMove_PVS";
						_handled = true;
					
						
//	hint format	["Player Name = %1 - Animationcase = %2 - Epoch_personalToken = %3 - _targetplayer = %4",player,_animationcase,Epoch_personalToken,_targetplayer ];
									
sleep _unitAdditionalDelay;
detach _target;
	                    if ((alive player) && (alive _target)) then {

                        _target setDamage ((damage _target) + 1);

						
                    };

  } else { 
  
  cutText ["You do not have the mod MOCAP enabled! No cool assassination animations will be played! See ZENITHOVMEN.COM to download!","PLAIN",2];

						
						_targetplayer = _target;

						//sends to the server the animation for a NON Mocap player
						EPOCH_switchMove_PVS = [player, 19, Epoch_personalToken, _targetplayer];
						publicVariableServer "EPOCH_switchMove_PVS";
						_handled = true;

						//sends to the server the animation for a Mocap Enabled player
						EPOCH_switchMove_PVS = [player, _animationcase, Epoch_personalToken, _targetplayer];
						publicVariableServer "EPOCH_switchMove_PVS";
						_handled = true;
						

  						player switchMove "AinvPercMstpSnonWnonDnon_Putdown_AmovPercMstpSnonWnonDnon";
  						_target switchMove "AcinPercMstpSnonWnonDnon_agony";
						
						player enablesimulation false;
						
//hint "Waiting for any spectators and the targets Mocap animation to complete"; 	 //these hints will become messages in centre of screen!	maybe an execVm that runs a msg like the server intro that fades in etc!	
			
						
						sleep _unitAdditionalDelay;
						sleep 0.5;
						detach _target;
	                    if ((alive player) && (alive _target)) then {

                        _target setDamage ((damage _target) + 1);

						player enablesimulation true;
                    };
 };

Notice that I send both a Mocap and non Mocap animation for each to the server = this is so that even if a non Mocap player executes the assassination you will still get the animation on yourself if you have it enabled, or if a player watching has it enabled.

I now need to work out how to publicvariable a message to the target making their screen go black and telling them that they have been assassinated but dont have Mocap enabled.

and if they do have the message to still have a message come up that they have been assassinated.

anyway off for the night

ciao.

well a little bit ago, my kids arrived on a surprise :)

I will be doing as much as possible from here till they get picked up later tonight.

So far

Client side group check:(works fine in debug menu for determining UID for group leader)

_groupid=Epoch_my_GroupUID;  hint format["%1",_groupid];

Server side check assumption:(haven't tested yet, based on info sent from client to PVEH)

_plyr=this select 0;
_plyrGroup=_plyr getVariable['GROUP',''];
diag_log format["%1",_plyrGroup];

I looked at isBuildAllowed, server_createGroup, server_respawnPlayer, lockVehicle, and A3AH for ideas on getting the victims groupUID

I haven't even downloaded mocap yet.... :(

Gonna be a busy day with my kids, might pick back up if they get consumed in ps3 or movies.

happydayz · July 27, 2015

All good bro. I'm thinking I'm going to remove the switch move from the clients code and then change the server side
From
forEach(_nearBy-[_target]);
To:
forEach(_nearBy);

Edit: Doesnt work. Didnt think it would.

DirtySanchez · July 27, 2015

what a long day.......

BTW, what did you want to know the group ids for anyways?

so that a group member cant strangle another? LOL

happydayz · July 27, 2015

Correct ;) otherwise u get the option flash up all the time

happydayz · July 27, 2015

Spent the evening making a server pbo that just does animations etc. currently not working.... To be continued tomorrow! Al the files appear to load etc but the EH does nothing...

Zupa · July 27, 2015

Throw it on a git repo and i'll take a look at it if u want ( client & server code)

happydayz · July 28, 2015

Hey Zupa.

I've pushed it to github. --- https://github.com/happydayz-enigma/Enigma_EPOCH_Animations

See the Readme for instructions and client code.

This all worked fine when I modified the server files to show this information (minus of course the Enigma tags....)

_target switchMove "AcinPercMstpSnonWnonDnon_agony";

I don't think a client can trigger that on a different client ( just my guessing).

{[["switchMove",[_TargetClient,_TargetClientAnimation]],(owner _x)]call EPOCH_sendPublicVariableClient, }forEach(_NearByClients-[_OriginalClient]);

To counter this, include the original client to trigger the move to on that line.

happydayz · July 28, 2015

it all works fine for other clients to see (including the target client) when i have it in the epoch server files. Im just working on tidying it up here. the problem im having is trying to move all of this out of the epoch server files into its own pbo. just doesnt seem to load up the Enigma_switchMove_PVS

happydayz · July 28, 2015

ah i think i know what your saying. if you mean change it to:

{[["switchMove",[_TargetClient,_TargetClientAnimation]],(owner _x)]call EPOCH_sendPublicVariableClient; }forEach(_NearByClients]);

then it doesnt show the animation ocurring on the target for the original player.

thats why im doing the switchmove on the _target in the client file as it does show you doing the animation locally on the _target.

happydayz · July 28, 2015

all good. got it working :) not sure what i was doing wrong but i think i just had a few simple ; in the wrong spots! duh.....

posting in Resources now! Github updated.
