Introduction
In addition to the regular OFP commands, the list below contains the commands that have been added to VBS1.
Variables
There are a number of inbuilt variables and functions that are added by the VBS core at the start of every mission.
VBS_init
Will equal true when VBS initialisation is complete. Do not use any variable or function defined by the VBS core until VBS_init equals true.
Code:
~0.01 @VBS_init
VBS is now initialised
VBS_is_server
Will equal true on the computer that is the server, otherwise false. (Note that this variable is more reliable than the IsServer command, which due to a bug returns false in a single player game).
Code:
~0.01 @VBS_init ? VBS_is_server : hint "I am the server"
VBS Arrays
Note : In order for third-party content to be inserted into these arrays, it is required that the vehicle eventhandlers be inherited from class vbs_eventhandlers{}. Additionally, these arrays should not be accessed until vbs_init is true.
VBS_units
This is an array containing a reference to every unit in a mission. This includes units in vehicles. This array will be ordered the same on all computers in a networked session.
Code:
~0.01 @VBS_init hint format["There are %1 units in the mission",count VBS_units]
VBS_vehs
This is an array containing a reference to every vehicle (empty or otherwise) in a mission. This array will be ordered the same on all computers in a networked session.
Code:
~0.01 @VBS_init hint format["There are %1 vehicles in the mission",count VBS_vehs]
VBS_units_str
This is an array of strings containing the names of every unit in a mission. This array will be ordered the same on all computers in a networked session (as per VBS_units). This array is used by the VBS core to update the VBS_units array when units respawn in multiplayer.
Code:
~0.01 @VBS_init hint format["I am unit number %1 in the mission",VBS_units_str find (name player)]
VBS_distance3D
No info placeholder
