Music from Actively Spawned Vehicles

As you can see on BIKI page, effect is local. You need to broadcast it on each concerned PC.

 

Found this, will the remoteExec command allow me to play it globally AND work on a dedicated server?

 

When a command has an local effect (say3D, playmusic) you can broadcast it to allplayers with remoteExec:

[player, "sound6"] remoteExec ["say3D"];

if dedicated server, you don't have player on it, write:

[player, "sound6"] remoteExec ["say3D",-2];

and for JIP:

[player, "sound6"] remoteExec ["say3D",-2,true];

I suggest you send your last version of your scripts because it's a little bit tricky to follow them and guess the choice you've made. First it's normal to fail on dedi server as far as you start your TAG_fnc_playMusic with if (!isServer) exitWith {}; ????

 

For broadcasting a code on all PC except server:

{your code} remoteExec ["call",-2]

First of all, try to make your addAcrtion working for a hint, for example.

Tested... only the [player, "sound6"] remoteExec ["say3D"]; worked in the editor, still won't play in the dedicated.

Sorry. Could you write that out for me I really got lost in that bit of code.

I'll test this right now, thanks for the assistance.

Works great! Thanks.

[Midnighters 152]

jesus, let's stop quoting code please holy shit.

[pliskin124 4]

I was wondering if there was a trigger detection parameter for detecting if a player is in a vehicle?

 

Something like.. blufor detected, if player in vehicle

on activation _veh addaction "musicplayer.sqf"

on deactivation _veh removeAllActions

 

...something along those lines, I'm sure the syntax is horrible. I'm just curious if I can put a large trigger on the entire map so that every time a player enters a vehicle it automatically applies the radio to said vehicle then removes it when they leave it?

[Midnighters 152]

if((vehicle player) isEqualTo objNull) then { } else {hint "Player is in a vehicle!"};

@pliskin124

[pliskin124 4]

So something like this...?

 

Condition

if((vehicle player) isEqualTo objNull) then { } else {hint "Player is in a vehicle!"};

On Activation

PlaySongs = _veh addaction ["Start music player","musicplayer.sqf",true,1,false,true,"","player in _target"];

 

On Deactivation

_veh RemoveAllActions;

 

[Midnighters 152]

@pliskin124 

Nate my friend, conditions are already setup for if then statements, since it all has to be a boolean in the end.

so.

for the condition:

(!(vehicle player) isEqualTo objNull)

laySongs = _veh addaction ["Start music player","musicplayer.sqf",true,1,false,true,"","player in _target"];

_veh RemoveAllActions;

You may want to consider using thisList and referencing the trigger instead of the player  

 

[pliskin124 4]

Getting a "Type Object, expected bool!" error on the condition state.
 

Wouldn't using thisList require me to define the player into a specific list? Not sure how to do that.

[Midnighters 152]

@pliskin124

Are you sure you typed it correctly? This should return a boolean, not an object.

 

thisList just gathers any players that are in the trigger at the time of activation.

So:

_trgThsLis = (_this select 0);
{
	if((vehicle _x) isEqualTo objNull) then {
	}	else {	hint format["Player %1 is in a vehicle",(name (_x))];	};
} forEach _trgThsLis;

 

[pliskin124 4]

Copy and pasted

(!(vehicle player) isEqualTo objNull)

into the condition state, still getting the same error

((vehicle player) != objNull) 

try that...?

[pliskin124 4]

That worked.

[pliskin124 4]

On Activation: "Local variable in global space" error now from playSongs = _veh addaction ["Start music player","musicplayer.sqf",true,1,false,true,"","player in _target"];

Yep. The game is going "Wtf is player? And what's this all about?"

this goes back to my indication of thisList implementation, but some would say it's completely subjective as to wether or not you use it.

So up to you. 

[pliskin124 4]

Yeah, I'll use it. Not quite sure how though,

 

_trgThsLis = (_this select 0);
{
	if((vehicle _x) isEqualTo objNull) then {
	}	else {	hint format["Player %1 is in a vehicle",(name (_x))];	};
} forEach _trgThsLis;

 

This goes into the condition state?

Ah, nope. This is a snippet of a script I had made a long while back.

basically what I did is set the trigger activation to anybody, then execute the script when it's activated.

You can pass certain parameters from the trigger into the script.

So in this case we need thisList.

so I guess you can do this? (it's been a while, don't bank on it)

[thisList] call compile preProcessFile "myMusicDetection.sqf";

or

[thisList] execVM "myMusicDetection.sqf";

or

[thisList] call compile "myMusicDetection.sqf";

 

[pliskin124 4]

So

[thisList] call compile preProcessFile "myMusicDetection.sqf";

in the activation of the trigger, but what is inside of the myMusicDetection.sqf file?

_thisListTrigger = (_this select 0); //this would be an array of objects detected by the trigger.
{ } forEach _thisListTrigger;

forEach or Count are great commands for this kind of stuff, they work directly with arrays. 

[pliskin124 4]

Maybe its the lack of sleep, but I'm confused as to what this does?

 

So in the condtion I have

[thisList] call compile preProcessFile "myMusicDetection.sqf";

then in the myMusicDetection.sqf I have

_thisListTrigger = (_this select 0); //this would be an array of objects detected by the trigger.
{ } forEach _thisListTrigger;

which if I understand it correctly is assigning all players within the trigger to the specific list, correct?

 

Now I put in the activation and deactivation in the trigger and it should work calling them from the list?

 

On activation

replacing player with thisList ?

playSongs = _veh addaction ["Start Music Player","musicplayer.sqf",true,1,false,true"","player in _target"];

 

_veh RemoveAllActions;

 

[Midnighters 152]

@pliskin124

 

Condition:

NONE

 

Activation:

ANY

 

OnActivation:

[thisList] call compile preProcessFile "MyMusicActivation.sqf";

 

 

MyMusicActivation.sqf:

 

_list = (_this select 0);
{_playSongs = _x addaction ["Start Music Player","musicplayer.sqf",true,1,false,true"","_x in _target"];} forEach _list;

OnDeactivation:

[thisList] call compile "Deactivation.sqf";

Deactivation.sqf

{removeAllActions _x} forEach (_this select 0);

Obviously not the best way to do it, personally I actually have a function that is just plug and execute for this kind of stuff.

I'm currently at school, so I'm going to have to leave it to you to do the rest after you understand what this actually does.
