v3scripts

[kju]

I want to share a few basic visitor 3 scripts.
As there is very limited info out there, I thought it might be a good idea.

Single thread per script vs summary thread. Well unsure whats best here.
I do the summary thread for now. Please move if wrong category.   



Unfortunately there are too many things on the list for perfect documentation.
So hope the basic summary is enough. Otherwise feel free to ask. 


1) Add/subtract an delta height from a particular object

Note that you need to select the object(s) and apply the script.
Add additional models and their specific height at the start of the script:

_heightDelta = 20.75;
_replaceObjectName = str("o\hous\most_stred30");
//_heightDelta = 20.88;
//_replaceObjectName = str("ace_vegetation_obj\m\tree\ace_akat02s");

and uncomment what you want to use.



ACE_SetAbsoluteHeightDelta.vis

Code: [Select]

echo "------------------------------";
echo "ACE_SetAbsoluteHeightDelta.vis";
echo "------------------------------";

// ---------------------------
// model specific height value
// ---------------------------
_heightDelta = 20.75;
_replaceObjectName = str("o\hous\most_stred30");
//_heightDelta = 20.88;
//_replaceObjectName = str("ace_vegetation_obj\m\tree\ace_akat02s");
//_heightDelta = 20.88;
//_replaceObjectName = str("ace_vegetation_obj\m\tree\ace_akat02s");
//_heightDelta = 20.88;
//_replaceObjectName = str("ace_vegetation_obj\m\tree\ace_akat02s");

// ------------------------
// gets the active document
// ------------------------
_doc = getActiveDoc;

// ----------------------------------
// dialogs definitions and formatting
// ----------------------------------
_dlgWrn1 = [200, 40, "Warning",["label", 180, 13, "Please select at least one object and then rerun the script.", 0], ["break"],["ok-button", 50, 13]];

// -------------------------
// gets the selected objects
// -------------------------
_obj = getSelectedPosEdObjects _doc;
_nObj = count _obj;

// -----------
// script core
// -----------

// there at least one object selected
if(_nObj > 0) then
{
_i = 0;
// Set the new height of all selected objects
{
if (str(getTemplateName _x) == _replaceObjectName) then {
_pos = getZeroPos _x;
_relHeight = getRelHeight _x;
_landHeight = (_doc getLandHeight _pos) select 0;
_offset = _relHeight - _heightDelta - _landHeight;
_x setRelHeight _offset;

_strLandHeight = str _landHeight;
_strOffset = str _offset;
_strRelHeight = str _relHeight;

_i = _i + 1;

_message = "LandHeight: " + _strLandHeight + ". Offset: " + _strOffset + ". RelHeight: " + _strRelHeight;
echo _message;
};
} forEach _obj;

// prompts final message
_strNumberOfModifiedObjects = str(_i);
_message = "Modified " + _strNumberOfModifiedObjects + " height values.";
echo _message;
}
else // there are no objects selected
{
// shows the Warning 1 dialog
_res = dialogBox _dlgWrn1;
};

Thanks for the submissions. Is it possible to package them up with a readme so they can go into the depot?

You mean me doing that right?
Any special requirements?

I have no idea how these things work - are these V3 scripts, to be used solely for addon-making in Visitor, or are they some kind of 'regular' scripts?

If they're solely V3 scripts to be used in Addon making, they go into the Configs & Scripting subforum, I'd think. Or the V3 subforum. What? I just work here!

They're looking good though!

I'd say put these into the V3 forum and the O2 ones into the the O2 forum. I assume "configs and scripting" is about config.cpp and sqs/sqf to actually put into addons, not actually running scripts inside the BIS tools (I know these scripts are in SQF, but there are a lot of tool-specific commands which are quite irrelevant to most people). Feel free to take them where-ever suits you though, Wolfrug; it is your depot (They definitely aren't ED though )

Duly moved.

Q - perhaps for a set of scripts like these, it'd be best if you summarize them something like this:

scriptname1-> one line description of use
scriptname2-> one line description of use

etc. That way it's easy to put it into the description field of the "pack" : if you could also put them all together in a zip file or the like, that'd make it even better.

Note: If you only have like 2-4 or so scripts, then individual threads & individual uploading would probably be the best, but for larger packs than that one might as well put them all together in one. 

Great stuff!
