WAI custom mission UI notification

[JakeQue]

With the default epoch 1061 you have the kill messages on the top left, but I thought it would be nice if we could display the same type of coloured messages in the top middle when a WAI mission is loaded, probably fairly easy to do... if anyone has the code it would be much appreciated

Change the X-Coordinate of bis_fnc_dynamictext to safeZoneXAbs+0.45  (approximate) just tamper with 0.45

This is the code in compiles.sqf which decides the location of the death message. 

[(format ["%1<br />%2<br />%3<br />%4",death_1,death_2,death_3,death_4]),(safeZoneX + _offset),safeZoneY,10,0,0,8000] spawn BIS_fnc_dynamicText;

So it would be like

[(format ["%1<br />%2<br />%3<br />%4",death_1,death_2,death_3,death_4]),(safeZoneX + 0.45),safeZoneY,10,0,0,8000] spawn BIS_fnc_dynamicText;

This will make the text to middle of the screen, depends on various factors though like your monitor resolution, interface size.

and you don't need _offset anymore because you are setting text to middle. _offset is used so that kill messages dont cover your vehicle status if you are in a vehicle.

 

Even though this cannot be 100% accurate just tamper with it and you will come to the solution.

 

Thank you so much! I'll give it a whirl

Implying that you didn't just see this on other servers and now you want it yourself...

 

Regardless, you need to add a publicVariableEventHandler client side to be able to broadcast the message to everyone. Then, call the event handler with the messages in the mission system.

I actually saw it when I use infistar mass message coloured and it shows at the top also when players vote day and night so I thought it would be good to have that same format regardless of whether there's a radio on the person or not...  

I'll look into it, cheers @BigEgg

I forgot about infistar. You could actually just use it. 

 

Example:

fnc_show_colorAdminMsg = ["A mission has spawned!", "#FFFFFF"];
publicVariable "fnc_show_colorAdminMsg";

 

Infistar already has the event handler, so that should work a lot easier. First parameter is the message, second is the color.

I was thinking about using it, but infistar's files are rather large to troll through and I was getting confused after line 100. Thanks for your help mate!

I had forgotten about those as well. Gonna see if they will work for my arena, people will notice them for sure.
