MP Parameters Example (Accepted)

[Shuko]

Well, the idea is that you wouldn't need to worry about remember which element a certain parameter is in the paramsarray. Example:

Code: [Select]

class Params
{
  class Hour {
    title = "Hour";
    values[] = {0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22};
    texts[] = {"0000","0200","0400","0600","0800","1000","1200","1400","1600","1800","2000","2200"};
    default = 6;
  };
  class Rain {
    title = "Rain";
    values[] = {0,1,2,3};
    texts[] = {"None","Light","Moderate","Heavy"};
    default = 0;
  };
  class Fog {
    title = "Fog";
    values[] = {0,1,2,3};
    texts[] = {"None","Light","Moderate","Heavy"};
    default = 0;
  };
  class Viewdistance {
    title = "Viewdistance";
    values[] = {0,1,1000,1500,2000,2500,3000,3500,4000,5000,6000};
    texts[] = {"Dynamic","User defined","1000", "1500", "2000", "2500", "3000","3500","4000","5000","6000"};
    default = 0;
  };
  class Targets {
    title = "Targets";
    values[] = {4,6,8,10,0};
    texts[] = {"4","6","8","10","Random 4-10"};
    default = 6;
  };
  class AISkill {
    title = "Difficulty: AI Skill";
    values[] = {1,3,5,7};
    texts[] = {"Easy","Normal","Moderate","Hard"};
    default = 3;
  };
  class AIAmount {
    title = "Difficulty: Amount of AI";
    values[] = {1,2,3,4};
    texts[] = {"Few","Normal","Moderate","Many"};
    default = 2;
  };
  class AA {
    title = "Difficulty: AA (ZU-23)";
    values[] = {0,1,2,3};
    texts[] = {"None","Few","Moderate","Many"};
    default = 1;
  };
  class Planes {
    title = "Planes available";
    values[] = {0,1,2};
    texts[] = {"F35B","AV-8B Harrier","Both"};
    default = 2;
  };
  class ObjectiveDistance {
    title = "Objective distance";
    values[] = {0,1,2};
    texts[] = {"Close","Medium","Any"};
    default = 2;
  };
};

Instead of having to edit the processParams.sqf for each mission, you would automatically get the vars created for each parameter (in this example elements 3-9) by going through all the class names in desc.ext.

Code: [Select]

skiptime (((paramsArray select 0) - daytime + 24) % 24);

switch (paramsArray select 1) do {
  case 0: { 0 setOvercast 0; 0 setRain 0; };
  case 1: { 0 setOvercast 0.8; 0 setRain 0.3; };
  case 2: { 0 setOvercast 0.9; 0 setRain 0.6; };
  case 3: { 0 setOvercast 1; 0 setRain 1; };
};

switch (paramsArray select 2) do {
  case 0: { 0 setFog 0; };
  case 1: { 0 setFog 0.3; };
  case 2: { 0 setFog 0.6; };
  case 3: { 0 setFog 1; };
};

SHK_PARAMS_ViewDistance = paramsArray select 3;
SHK_PARAMS_Targets = paramsArray select 4;
SHK_PARAMS_AISkill = paramsArray select 5;
SHK_PARAMS_AIAmount = paramsArray select 6;
SHK_PARAMS_AA = paramsArray select 7;
SHK_PARAMS_Planes = paramsArray select 8;
SHK_PARAMS_ObjectiveDistance = paramsArray select 9;


Called from init.sqf:

Code: [Select]

execvm "processParams.sqf" spawn {
  waituntil {scriptdone _this};
  if (isserver) then {
  } else {
  };
};

I was thinking of something similar, but different. What I was thinking about is to store code in the param class, and in your setMissionConditions.sqf file you just loop through every param, get the value and the code that's in the class, and then execute the code with the value as an argument.

I haven't really explored this at all due to lack of time, but if it can be made like this we never ever again have to use pre-defined indices in the paramsArray ever again.

Stolen from mikey's thread, with minor modification. Answer to my question:

Code: [Select]

for [{_i = 0},{_i < count(paramsArray)},{_i = _i + 1}] do {
call compile format ["PARAMS_%1 = %2",(configName ((missionConfigFile >> "Params") select _i)),(paramsArray select _i)];
};

back in the day we could use this in a vehilces condition field. How does it work now with the new system??

param1==1

param2==1 && param1==1
etc

[mikey]

(paramsArray select 0) == 1

Hoz can you please fix the demo mission.

http://www.ofpec.com/tutorials/index.php?action=view&id=212
says paramsArray[2] is the first item in the new class params
This is correct from I understand.

The demo mission instead has:

Code: [Select]

class Params
{
        class DayTime
        {
                //paramsArray[0]
                title = "Time Of Day";
Even more the init.sqf seems wrong to me:

skiptime (paramsArray select 2);
[(paramsArray select 2), "false"] execvm "Grass_Changer\grass_changer.sqf";

vs the class params:

skiptime is 2, yet grass should select 4.

Cheers.

Done and thanks!
