fog script

[killerkiwi]

hello boy's and girl's i am releasing my fog script to night at 3am uk time random fog works well lot of people asked for it

 

titleText ["picking random fog", "PLAIN DOWN", 3];
sleep 5;
_var = random 1.80; //generates a random value between 0 and 1.80
if (_var < 0.20) then {
execVM 'overwrites\click_actions\250.sqf';
} else {
if (_var < 0.40 and _var > 0.20) then {
execVM 'overwrites\click_actions\500.sqf';
} else {
if (_var > 0.40 and _var < 0.60) then {
execVM 'overwrites\click_actions\750.sqf';
} else {
if (_var > 0.60 and _var < .80) then {
execVM 'overwrites\click_actions\1000.sqf';
} else {
if (_var > 0.80 and _var < 1) then {
execVM 'overwrites\click_actions\1250.sqf';
} else {
if (_var > 1 and _var < 1.20) then {
execVM 'overwrites\click_actions\1500.sqf';
} else {
if (_var > 1.20 and _var < 1.40) then {

} else {

KillerKiwi was kind enough to share, if you don't like it then don't use it but don't bash.

Thread cleaned, keep things civil please.

thanks you Richie

this is a place were every one give out the custom work if you don't like it fuck off

Just wanted to add this to a code block because it just looks so much nicer...

Next Time put it in a Spoiler to, please :P Oh and the Title is wrong. This is ViewDistance, not Fog! And it`s not well optimized ^^

Dude you just said Thanks to yourself and you quoted yourself ^^ wth is going on xD

[killerkiwi]

stop being a nob if you look at  the code see the fog is in there nod cheese

thanks dude try to keep my code neat im just lazy at it like to keep code short as i can

There was literally no reason to add a spoiler. I was simply updating the original post with a code box so it was easier to copy paste.

Hi KillerKiwi

I am glad to see people are still contributing some of their work around.
Here's a quick tips on scripting:
If you have to type it more than twice, put it in a function.
When dealing with too many IF statements, it will be faster on runtimes if you use switch instead. That way engine does not need to execute multiple statements, instead it will execute one and compare given values which is faster and tidier.

However in some examples like yours, to keep code small and tidy, duplicate code can be removed with a little bit of creativity :)

_file = [250, 500, 750, 1000, 1250, 1500, 1750, 2000, 2500];
_rand = _file select floor random count _file;
execVM format ["overwrites\click_actions\%1.sqf",_rand];

Enjoy the scripting, it's fun!

thanks dude keep that in mind working on a few scripts try my best to add thatin but like to make it look like i done more work with it

What raymix means , it's more optimized like that so will be faster , cleaner and create less burden on the engine . Making code large and big does not let it look like you did more work . It's actually only creating more work for the server . But indeed good people are still sharing nice work .

[killerkiwi]

;) lol i no try this did't work

[raymix]

yeah cuz execVM requires to pass variable, even if empty. I just wrote that as an example how you can optimize code into "one liners", kinda missed that part, been a while I touched SQF

Simply add empty array or anything else in front of it like so:

[] execvm "stuff"

And just to be on safe side, to make sure that string is generated before it's called, simply wrap the format in () like so:

[] execVM (format ["overwrites\click_actions\%1.sqf",_rand]);

It should work without it, but it's not a bad habit to have.

sometimes people even create nil variable to store nothing in it since there's no response. I find this practice kinda lame, but to each its own.

_nil = 0 execVM "stuff";

 

[killerkiwi]

will this work 

 

private ["_file","_rand"];

_file = ([250, 500, 750, 1000, 1250, 1500, 1750, 2000, 2500]);

_rand = _file select floor random count _file;

[] execVM (format ["overwrites\click_actions\%1.sqf",_rand]);

 

[raymix]

no, you need to loose parentheses when you define array,

_file = [1,2,3];

[killerkiwi]

private ["_file","_rand"];

[] execVM (format ["overwrites\click_actions\%1.sqf",_rand]);

_rand = _file select floor random count _file;

_file = ([250, 500, 750, 1000, 1250, 1500, 1750, 2000, 2500]);

what about this lol

[axeman]

You are calling (execVM) the sqf before declaring _file, try:

private ["_file"]; 
_file = [250, 500, 750, 1000, 1250, 1500, 1750, 2000, 2500]; 
0 = [] execVM format ["overwrites\click_actions\%1.sqf",selectRandom _file]; 

If you want to reduce it further:

0 = [] execVM format ["overwrites\click_actions\%1.sqf",selectRandom [250, 500, 750, 1000, 1250, 1500, 1750, 2000, 2500]];

That will work perfectly fine. execVM doesn't require anything passing to it, at least not in Arma 3.

I seem to remember using execVM and format in that way didn't used to work in A2, maybe that has been updated since ? Previously I would use a call compile to execVM dynamic scripts: 

call compile format["[] execVM ""overwrites\click_actions\%1.sqf""",selectRandom [250, 500, 750, 1000, 1250, 1500, 1750, 2000, 2500]];

A method I still use, out of habit, until now :)

EDIT

I don't think selectRandom is available for A2, I haven't currently got an install to test, this will work just as well as a replacement:

call compile format["[] execVM ""overwrites\click_actions\%1.sqf""",[250, 500, 750, 1000, 1250, 1500, 1750, 2000, 2500] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom];

hmm try this don't work make a new random floor to night

wait don't need to lol

Oh shiet, you're right, I thought execVM works the same as Spawn which requires args at all times ( except it's reading the script from a drive not function in memory). Well, my excuse is that  I've never really used execVM to be honest, always compiling my stuff in memory, heh.

[axeman]

The best way, compile then call :)

Your best bet, when learning, is to step through each part in a Debug Console, that way you don't end up restarting your server to debug every small change.
