Title: event handler woes ?
Post by: sharkattack on 14 Jul 2009, 19:26:42

hi lads ..

i have a beta mission in the beta forums  in which im trying to add an event handler to detect unsupressed gunfire .  can get it to work  by itself  but if i add  another event handler based script ..  im buggered
had no problem with each EH  in seperate trials  but as soon as i mixed them  only one or the other would work ..
anyone tell me what im doing wrong ..

first EH thanks to (spooner)

gamelogic to count number of cranes destroyed at port

Code: [Select]

{ _x addEventHandler ["KILLED", { _this execVM "cranes.sqf" }] } forEach nearestObjects [this, ["Land_A_Crane_02b"], 500]  
cranes.sqf (thanks spooner) works a treat alone

Code: [Select]

if (isNil "ecraneCounter") then { ecraneCounter = 0 };
ecraneCounter = ecraneCounter + 1;

// <-- Do stuff every time.

if (ecraneCounter == 5) then
{
seven=true;
publicvariable "seven";
};

ecranecounter=false  in init sqf

#2
trigger to detect unsilenced gunfire ( from arma)  but works when tested alone

{_x addEventHandler ["fired",{if (!((_this select 2) in ["bizon_silenced","M4A1_HWS_GL_SD_Camo","M4A1_AIM_SD_camo","M9SD","G36_C_SD_eotech","PipeBombMuzzle"]) && !gunfire) then {gunfire=true; _this execVM "elekalert.sqf";}}];} forEach thislist;

elekalert.sqf

Code: [Select]

{_x setUnitPos "MIDDLE"} forEach list westport;{_x setBehaviour "AWARE"}  forEach list westport;
sleep 3;
hint "Contact  ... Enemy alerted to gunfire around the port of Elektrozavodsk ";
gunfire =false  in init sqf ..


hope you can make some sort of sense from my questions ..  :P

as always any help  would be real nice   :good:

Hmm, I might be wrong but it looks like the line containing isNil "ecraneCounter" is never executed because you're assigning a value to ecraneCounter in the init.sqf (if a variable is set to _any_ value it's not nil anymore).

Correction: the line will be executed, but ecraneCounter won't be set to zero. So you end up adding one to "false".

Yes, I gave him the original script but didn't tell him to set the value to false initially.
