English Solved Script function never called

[Peragh]

Hey dear The-Programmer Forum.

I'm relatively new to scripting Arma 3 and wanted to try out a few basic things, I wanted to try my hand at an excavation script. Now to my problem.

I have focal files

private _ausgrabungsGebiet = getText (MissionConfigFile >> "peragh_ausgrab_config" >> "peragh_ausgrabungsGebiet");
private _requiredItem = getText (MissionConfigFile >> "peragh_ausgrab_config" >> "peragh_requiredItem");
private _searchTime = getNumber (MissionConfigFile >> "peragh_ausgrab_config" >> "peragh_searchTime");
private _anim = getText (MissionConfigFile >> "peragh_ausgrab_config" >> "peragh_ausgrabungAnim");
private _loot = getArray (MissionConfigFile >> "peragh_ausgrab_config" >> "peragh_lootAusgrabung");

fnc_startAusgrabung = {
    private ["_item", "_startTime"];

    hint "Start ausgrabung";
   
    if (player inArea _ausgrabungsGebiet) then {

        hint "Start Ausgrabung2";

        if (!(_requiredItem in assignedItems player)) exitWith {
            hint format ["Du benötigst %1 um hier ausgraben zu können", _requiredItem];
        };

        if (_requiredItem in assignedItems player) then {
            player playMove _anim;
            hint "Animation";

            uiSleep _searchTime;
           
            private _randomLoot = selectRandom _loot;
            _item = _randomLoot select 0;

            if (random 1 <= _randomLoot select 2) then {
                if ((_randomLoot select 1) == "weapon") then {
                    player addItemToBackpack _item;
                } else {
                    player addItem [_loot select 0, 1];
                };
            };
        };

        hint format ["Du hast %1 Augegraben", _randomLoot select 0];

    } else {
        hint "Du befindest dich nicht im Ausgrabungsgebiet";
    };
};

class peragh_ausgrab_config {
    peragh_ausgrabungsGebiet = "test"; //Hier legst du das ausgrabungsGebiet fest
    peragh_ausgrabungsSize = 30; //Hier legst die Größe des Ausgrabungsgebietes Fest
    peragh_requiredItem = ""; //Item was benötigt wird zum suchen in der Ausgrabuingstätte || Falls nichts Drinne steht braucht man nichts!
    peragh_searchTime = 10; //Zeit die zum Suchen benötigt wird
    peragh_ausgrabungAnim = ""; //Hier legst du die Animation fest die Ausgeführt wird wenn der user was ausgräbt

    peragh_lootAusgrabung[] = {
        {"hgun_P07_F", "weapon", 0.5},
        {"peach", "vitem", 0.8}
    };
};

if (player inArea _ausgrabunsgGebiet) then {
    [] spawn life_fnc_ausgrabung;
};

class peragh_functions {
        file = "peragh\functions";
            class ausgrabung {};
    };

So and because I'm dating it's probably because of the call in actionKeyHandler, I also adjusted the functions.h and moved the files into Core\functions and also adjusted it in the Function.hpp.
Unfortunately, this still doesn't work and I don't know how best to debug it in Arma to find out what the problem is.

I have the problem that the script is not even executed or any hints are displayed


Thank you in advance

Dear user,

Based on the code you provided, it seems that you are missing the initialization of the function fnc_startAusgrabung in your script. To fix this, you need to add the following line to your script:

fnc_startAusgrabung = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "fn_ausgrabung.sqf";

This line will compile the fn_ausgrabung.sqf file and assign it to the function fnc_startAusgrabung.

Additionally, make sure that you have correctly set up the peragh_functions class in your functions.hpp file, as it seems to be missing the function ausgrabung definition. Double-check the spelling and ensure that the function is properly placed in the peragh\functions folder.

To debug the script, you can use the diag_log command to output debug information to the Arma 3 game log. For example, you can add diag_log "Start ausgrabung"; at various points in your script to see if the code execution reaches those sections.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.

But for that I have the call in the fn_actionKeyHandler.sqf:

Dear user,

Apologies for the oversight. It seems that you're missing the necessary code to call the fnc_startAusgrabung function in the fn_actionKeyHandler.sqf file.

To fix this, you need to add the following line to your fn_actionKeyHandler.sqf script, assuming that fnc_startAusgrabung is defined correctly:

[] call fnc_startAusgrabung;

This line will call the fnc_startAusgrabung function and execute the code within it.

Make sure that the fn_actionKeyHandler.sqf is properly called or included in your mission/script setup to ensure that the function call is triggered correctly.

Feel free to ask further questions.

Dosent work as well

Hello!

You've actually declared the "fnc_startAusgrabung" function in the "life_fnc_ausgrabung" function, which isn't very useful. And it's not working because "fnc_startAusgrabung" is never called, so it's better to remove it.

You should do something like that :

private _ausgrabungsGebiet = getText (MissionConfigFile >> "peragh_ausgrab_config" >> "peragh_ausgrabungsGebiet");
private _requiredItem = getText (MissionConfigFile >> "peragh_ausgrab_config" >> "peragh_requiredItem");
private _searchTime = getNumber (MissionConfigFile >> "peragh_ausgrab_config" >> "peragh_searchTime");
private _anim = getText (MissionConfigFile >> "peragh_ausgrab_config" >> "peragh_ausgrabungAnim");
private _loot = getArray (MissionConfigFile >> "peragh_ausgrab_config" >> "peragh_lootAusgrabung");

hint "Start ausgrabung";

if (player inArea _ausgrabungsGebiet) then {
    hint "Start Ausgrabung2";
    if !(_requiredItem in assignedItems player) exitWith {
        hint format ["Du benötigst %1 um hier ausgraben zu können", _requiredItem];
    };

    if (_requiredItem in assignedItems player) then {
        player playMove _anim;
        hint "Animation";
        uiSleep _searchTime;
       
        private _randomLoot = selectRandom _loot;
        _item = _randomLoot select 0;
        if (random 1 <= _randomLoot select 2) then {
            if ((_randomLoot select 1) == "weapon") then {
                player addItemToBackpack _item;
            } else {
                player addItem [_loot select 0, 1];
            };
        };
    };

    hint format ["Du hast %1 Augegraben", _randomLoot select 0];
} else {
    hint "Du befindest dich nicht im Ausgrabungsgebiet";
};

Okay, thanks for the help, but now I have another question: how do I best call fn_ausgrabung.sqf? so in my fn_actionKeyHandler.sqf

 

[Maxence]

It depends, can you send your complete file already?

When do you want to call it?
The file is called every time you press the windows key, so you probably need to add more specific conditions: watching a player, being in a house, etc

 

[Peragh]

So I've done it like this so far and the hint works but the spawn doesn't

private _ausgrabungsGebiet = getText (MissionConfigFile >> "peragh_ausgrab_config" >> "peragh_ausgrabungsGebiet");
private _ausgrabungsSize = getNumber (MissionConfigFile >> "peragh_ausgrab_config" >> "peragh_ausgrabungsSize");

if ((player distance (getMarkerPos _ausgrabungsGebiet)) < _ausgrabungsSize) then {
    hint format ["%1", _ausgrabungsGebiet];
    [] spawn life_fnc_ausgrabung;
};

 

[Maxence]

Can you send your full Functions.hpp ?
If you have the debug console, you can check if the variable "life_fnc_ausgrabung" is defined, it must be.

Did you modify the fn_ausgrabung.sqf as I sent it above ?
