Hello, 

I'm having some trouble with my debug monitor causing some weird errors:

16:14:08 Error in expression <unt playableUnits),r_player_blood,round _humanity,_killsH,_killsB,_kills,(round >

16:14:08   Error position: <_humanity,_killsH,_killsB,_kills,(round >
16:14:08   Error Undefined variable in expression: _humanity
16:14:08 File mpmissions\DayZ_Epoch_11.Chernarus\custom\debug.sqf, line 24
16:14:12 Wrong text element 'null'
16:14:12 Wrong text element 'null'
16:14:12 Wrong text element 'null'

The debug monitor works in all its glory with a toggle function. 
Here is some info:
 

This is in my init.sqf to make it so it is enabled by default.

if {!isDedicated} then {
debugMonitor = true;
[] execvm "custom\debug.sqf";
};

Here is the debug.sqf

while {debugmonitor} do
{

	_kills = 		player getVariable["zombieKills",0];
	_killsH = 		player getVariable["humanKills",0];
	_killsB = 		player getVariable["banditKills",0];
	_humanity =		player getVariable["humanity",0];
	
	hintSilent parseText format ["

	(count playableUnits),r_player_blood,round _humanity,_killsH,_killsB,_kills,(round diag_fps),(round(180-(serverTime) / 60))
	];
sleep 1;
};

and this part calls the debug monitor when you press F10

if (_dikCode == 0x44) then {
	if (isNil 'debugMonitor') then 
	{
		debugMonitor = true;
		[] execvm "custom\debug.sqf";
	}
	else
	{
		debugMonitor = !debugMonitor;
		hintSilent '';
		[] execvm "custom\debug.sqf";
	};
};

is the isNil value causing the problem? and if so what can I replace it with?

I used this debug monitor before without any problems, but when I added a toggle function this happend.

instead of debugMonitor = !debugMonitor;

use

debugMonitor = if (debugMonitor) then {false} else {true};

Also, try assign all local variables to a private array.

private ["_kills","_killsH","_killsB","_humanity"];

Edit: fixed code.

 

I've had issues using var = !var in the past.

you are running the debug on the server ... move the init line inside this block:

if (!isDedicated) then {
	//Conduct map operations
	0 fadeSound 0;
	waitUntil {!isNil "dayz_loadScreenMsg"};
	dayz_loadScreenMsg = (localize "STR_AUTHENTICATING");
	
	//Run the player monitor
	_id = player addEventHandler ["Respawn", {_id = [] spawn player_death;}];
	_playerMonitor = 	[] execVM "\z\addons\dayz_code\system\player_monitor.sqf";	
	
	//anti Hack
	[] execVM "\z\addons\dayz_code\system\antihack.sqf";

	//Lights
	//[0,0,true,true,true,58,280,600,[0.698, 0.556, 0.419],"Generator_DZ",0.1] execVM "\z\addons\dayz_code\compile\local_lights_init.sqf";
	
};

But if you ARE running the debug on the server then this is the way some of those values work:

 

"Players Online"       :  (playersNumber west),

"Hummanity"              :  round (player getVariable['humanity', 0]),

"Zombies (alive/total)" : count (entities 'zZombie_Base'), / ({alive _x} count (entities 'zZombie_Base')),

I don't believe the "player" works on the serverside which was causing him the errors. Using player on the client of course means that player, but I believe the server has to know which player to get the variable from.

As I said, the debug monitor worked fine without any errors before. It's only when I added a toggle function when it gave me these messages BUT STILL WORKS.
I removed the below code and added the codes mentioned above.

if (_dikCode == 210) then {
_nill = execvm "\z\addons\dayz_code\actions\playerstats.sqf";
};

The debug monitor has always been server side. 

I have the init inside that block and it did not change anything.

Nope, I was wrong - problem still happens. Even with the fixes you mentioned.

 

I have solved same error 

It happens because of overlapping function key in 'dayz_spaceInterrupt.sqf'

If you look careful u will finds that your

 

if (_dikCode == 0x44) then {

 

overlaps with another function:

 

if (_dikCode in[0x02,0x03,0x04,0x58,0x57,0x44,0x43,0x42,0x41,0x40,0x3F,0x3E,0x3D,0x3C,0x3B,0x0B,0x0A,0x09,0x08,0x07,0x06,0x05]) then {

 
And that creates problems and spam in RTP log. Just deleting "0x44" out of "...if (_dikCode..." is not an option because every time u will press F10 menu will popup.
 
As such, solution is here:
 
1) Delete "0x44" from: "if (_dikCode in[..." so it will look like this:
 
if (_dikCode in[0x02,0x03,0x04,0x58,0x57,0x43,0x42,0x41,0x40,0x3F,0x3E,0x3D,0x3C,0x3B,0x0B,0x0A,0x09,0x08,0x07,0x06,0x05]) then {
	_handled = true;
};

2) Rewrite your "if (_dikCode == 0x44) then {" function with this:

if (_dikCode == 0x44) then {
	if (isNil 'debugMonitor') then 
	{
		debugMonitor = true;
		[] execvm "custom\debug.sqf";
		_handled = true;
	}
	else
	{
		debugMonitor = if (debugMonitor) then {false} else {true};
		hintSilent '';
		[] execvm "custom\debug.sqf";
		_handled = true;
	};
};

Done!

And If your are interested here is my:

dayz_spaceInterrupt.sqf

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

Here is my 

custom_monitor.sqf

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

And in my init.sqf:

if (!isDedicated) then {
	// Custom Monitor
	[] execVM "custom\custom_monitor.sqf";
};
