The bugged command thread

UNN:

Can result in the object moving a significant proportion of its own size sideways.


What sort of objects? Static objects work in multiples of 25 meters, when using setpos. But not when placed in the editor.

Any object that you can place inthe map..  Place a wire, an ammo crate - anything on the map.  Give it a name say thing  then run the code

thing setPos getPos thing

Keep repeating this and you will see it move across the map.

onMapSingleClick
This command is definitely bugged.

Try the following:
Put a marker on the map called "markPos" and a single unit.

init.sqs

Code: [Select]

onMapSingleClick {[_pos] exec "onMapClick.sqs"}
onMapClick.sqs

Code: [Select]

onMapSingleClick {}
_pos = _this select 0
"markPos" setMarkerPos _pos
onMapSingleClick {[_pos] exec "onMapClick.sqs"}
exit

Run the mission and start clicking on the map. Even with slow deliberate clicks, eventually it stops accepting single map clicks.

Actually mate, it must be your computer because I just used your code and got up to fifty clicks before I got bored and stop. Worked every time.

Yeah, only static objects. As you said ammo crates seem to move by X+0.3 & Y+0.2. Houses by 3.9 & -2.0. Regular units and vehicles are uneffected. The 25 meters I mentioned was with Hawks Nimtiz, sections. Not had chance to check the base class for these.

[THobson]

The amount of X and Y movement depends on the orientation of the object.  Objects actually move sideways so if you turn it through 90 degrees the X movement will become a Y movement and vice versa.

I tried your code today as well Mr Peanut.

Everything worked beautifully even after 501 clicks.

501? Wasn't that taking it a little too far?!?  ;D

Commands "enemy" and "friendly" seem to be nt worky at all - but at least it mentioned in russian comref.
Besides I can't get commands : "sideEnemy","sideFriendly", "countEnemy" to work properly.
But countFriendly works...
See the  example attached.

[macguba]

I don't think "enemy" is a command as such, it is the side of a renegade unit.    (One that has killed too many friendlies and is therefore enemy to all units.)   In other words it is a value returned by other commands.     I suspect "friendly" is similar, but opposite obviously.   Perhaps that can be achieved with setCaptive true, dunno.

sideEnemy and sideFriendly are not listed in the online comref.   However,

countEnemy
countFriendly
countSide

do exist.

[bdfy85]

However, countEnemy countFriendly countSide do exist.

But do they work ?  That is the question

[macguba]

countSide works, I used it in a mission once.  

[Mr.Peanut]

Must be my computer then... dammit...!
But it is still a bug to me.

I do believe there is also a sidelogic, which is also not listed in any comrefs.

Don't ask me what it does, if anything.

Setposing a unit off a ladder is bugged. As soon as you setpos him he goes away for a split second then goes right back to the ladder.

Also during a cutscene if you are on a ladder and you push up or down your unit moves around even though its a camera scene.

Hmmm....Interactive camera scenes.   ;D
