Forcing Units to get out and stay out

[Messiah]

works a charm... thanks everyone

[Messiah]

lol... nearly worked...

the method works brilliantly on my vehicles EXCEPT the MCar MILAN i'm using. Basically, once my deploy camo net script gets executed, all the occupants of the vehicle get booted out... unfortunatly for MCar vehichles, this means it also boots out the two gamelogics in 'hidden' cargo proxies which are used for guidance.... this then screws up the whole MCar scripting...

Code: [Select]

_occupants = crew _vehicle
{unassignVehicle _x} forEach _occupants
(_occupants) allowGetIn false
{_x action ["eject", _vehicle]} forEach _occupants
this is the ejection part of the script... what i need to code in is someway of removing the last two 'occupants' of the vehicle from the array of ejectee's

[h-]

If sa8gecko has done things right you have the crew_mcar function (it may be called something else too) at your disposal, designed just for these kinds of situations
and this actually reminds me of one thing we have forgot to fix alltogether to be more multiple end-user friendly...


Anyway:

Code: [Select]

_occupants = [_vehicle] call crew_mcar
{unassignVehicle _x} forEach _occupants
(_occupants) allowGetIn false
{_x action ["eject", _vehicle]} forEach _occupants
I hope that helps

[Triggerhappy]

hater i don't see how that would keep the gl's in....

(thank you thobson for reminding me of foreach, sure made me feel dumb ;D )

the gls are the last 2 occupants correct?

Code: [Select]

_occupants = (crew _vehicle)
_n = (count _occupants) - 1
_occupants = _occupants - [(_occupants select _n),(_occupants select (_n - 1))]
that will get the last 2 out of the array of people to eject

then just use thobson's ejection code, or yours, they look the same to me (at a glance)

[Messiah]

no no no... lol... i need the last two cargo slots to remain in the vehicle, as these are the MCar proxies... i'll test Hater's coding... i reckon Sa8gecko has done it correctly... seeing as he's done such a sterling job of the MILAN so far  ;D

[THobson]

Can't you do a typeOf or some such to find the GLs in _occupants and remove them?

[Messiah]

that was my first thought... but seeing as MCar had predicted this eventuality, i'll see if their method works  

[Messiah]

Code: [Select]

_vehicle = _this select 0

_occupants = [_vehicle] call crew_mcar
{unassignVehicle _x} forEach _occupants
(_occupants) allowGetIn false
{_x action ["eject", _vehicle]} forEach _occupants

_vehicle lock true
_vehicle setobjecttexture [23, ""]
_vehicle setobjecttexture [24, ""]
_vehicle setobjecttexture [25, ""]
_vehicle setobjecttexture [26, "\ukf_wmik\lcamnet.pac"]

exit
whereas i didn't get any error messages (which is generally a good sign) none of the crew got out with this coding... is it removing everyone from the array then?

strange...

p.s. I'm still amazed by how helpful you MCar guys are... in 4 years of flashpoint, i've never known another mod/group to helpout someone so much for no real gain to themselves  

[THobson]

Try putting in the line:

hint format["_occupants= %1\nReal Crew = %2",_occupants, crew _vehicle]

and see what you get.

[Messiah]

shall do  

[Messiah]

the hint is, when placed before the line Hater_Kint added:

Code: [Select]

_occupants = scalar bool array string oxfcffffef Real Crew = [WEST Bravo Black:1, WEST Bravo Black:2, no group, no group
those two no groups are the two empty usable cargo slots... i.e. no mention of the hidden proxies...

placed after the line from Hater_Kint and i get the same Hint.

[h-]

You could put something like
hint format ["%1",_occupants]
after the
_occupants = [_vehicle] call crew_mcar

[edit]THobson beat me to it [/edit]

It's very possible that sa8 forgot to update/rename the function, or forgot to put it there alltogether...
If so, that hint should give you some odd print out or nothing at all...

Look at the init.sqs of the MCAR stuff and it should be mentioned there, and if it is it still might have the wrong game logic class name there...

For safety the function crew_mcar should be re-named because otherwise it will conflict with some other MCAR vehicles put in the same mission...

If this gets too complicated just say so

I'm still amazed by how helpful you MCar guys are... in 4 years of flashpoint, i've never known another mod/group to helpout someone so much for no real gain to themselves

Thanks..

It was our intention from the get-go to just make this thing available and accessible for everyone who wants it, and with full support

[Messiah]

If this gets too complicated just say so

lol... MCar has confused me since day one... no offence of course, but my scripting skills are limited to cutscenes and simple things... lol

thats the init.sqs - i'm not overly sure what im meant to be looking for... so yeah, this is getting a tad confusing...  :-\

I'm assuming i just need to add a few lines of code into the init.sqs... the mcar game logics for the ukf Milan are called (*scans through the longest config i've ever seen*):

UKF_Logic

i must say, when i implemented the ejection coding, i nearly cried when the MILAN's stopped working... after all of Sa8's hard work, i thought i had gone and broken it  ;D

Ok, there is no such function defined

Then, in UKF_WMIK\scripts\ you put the following function, and name it as UKF_crew_mcar.sqf:

Code: [Select]

private["_crw","_i"];

_crw = crew (_this select 0);
_i = (count _crw) - 1;

while "_i > 0"
  do
   {
    if (typeOf (_crw select _i) == "UKF_logic")
     then
    {
     _crw = _crw - [(_crw select _i)];
    };

    _i = _i - 1;
   };

_crwWhere you put the game logic name sa8 defined for you in the config to that appropriate place..

Then, in that script of yours instead of [_vehicle] call crew_mcar you use [_vehicle] call UKF_crew_mcar

And all should work fine...

EDITED: put the UKF_logic in the function

EDIT2:

i must say, when i implemented the ejection coding, i nearly cried when the MILAN's stopped working... after all of Sa8's hard work, i thought i had gone and broken it

;D
You didn't brake it, you just confused it

thankyou very much... shall try it now
