Scripting commands

Usage

Effect creation

_handle = ppEffectCreate ["effect_type", priority]; _handlesArray = ppEffectCreate [["effect_type0", priority0], ["effect_type1", priority1], ...];

Effect cancellation

ppEffectDestroy handle; ppEffectDestroy handlesArray;

Parameter setup

handle ppEffectAdjust [par0, par1, ..., parN];

Parameter application

handle ppEffectCommit _duration; handlesArray ppEffectCommit _duration;

Effect permission

handle ppEffectEnable _OnOrOff; handlesArray ppEffectEnable _OnOrOff;

Check if Enabled

ppEffectEnabled handle;

Example

_handle = ppEffectCreate ["colorCorrections", 1501]; _handle ppEffectEnable true; _handle ppEffectAdjust [1.0, 1.0, 0.0, [1.0, 0.1, 1.0, 0.75], [0.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0], [0.199, 0.587, 0.114, 0.0]]; _handle ppEffectCommit 0; sleep 10; ppEffectDestroy _handle;


Table of priorities

Priority defines sequence in which post effects are applied. The higher priority, the later the effect will be applied, on top of the others.

Base Priority Effect
2500 ColorInversion
2000 FilmGrain
1500 ColorCorrections
400 DynamicBlur
300 WetDistortion
200 ChromaticAberration
100 RadialBlur

Parameters of individual effects

RadialBlur

Title: "RadialBlur"; Base Priority: 100

ⓘ
RadialBlur will not do anything if RADIAL BLUR is disabled in Video Options
Parameter Meaning Type Range Defaults
powerX relative blur degree on axis X float 0... 0.01
powerY relative blur degree on axis Y float 0... 0.01
offsetX relative size X of un-blurred centre float 0... 0.06
offsetY relative size Y of un-blurred centre float 0... 0.06

Syntax:

_radialBlurHandle ppEffectAdjust [powerX, powerY, offsetX, offsetY];

Defaults:

_radialBlurHandle ppEffectAdjust [0.01, 0.01, 0.06, 0.06];

Example:

["RadialBlur", 100, [100, 0.5, 0.1, 0.5]] spawn { params ["_name", "_priority", "_effect", "_handle"]; while { _handle = ppEffectCreate [_name, _priority]; _handle < 0 } do { _priority = _priority + 1; }; _handle ppEffectEnable true; _handle ppEffectAdjust _effect; _handle ppEffectCommit 5; waitUntil {ppEffectCommitted _handle}; systemChat "admire effect for a sec"; uiSleep 3; _handle ppEffectEnable false; ppEffectDestroy _handle; };

ChromAberration

Title "ChromAberration"; Base Priority: 200

Parameter Meaning Type Range Defaults
aberrationPowerX relative effect strength (sample spacing from each other) axis X float 0... 0.005
aberrationPowerY relative effect strength (sample spacing from each other) axis Y float 0... 0.005
aspectCorrection enable/disable correction according to screen aspect ratio bool true, false false

Syntax:

_chromaticAberrationHandle ppEffectAdjust [aberrationPowerX, aberrationPowerY, aspectCorrection];

Defaults:

FilmGrain

Title: "FilmGrain"; Base Priority: 2000

Arma 3
In Arma 3 the monochromatic parameter is numeric. Use 0 for monochrome, any other value for colour.

Number of parameters is flexible: it may be defined from 1 to 6 parameters, meaning of individual parameters is following:

Parameter Meaning Type Range Default
intensity intensity float 0..1 0.005
sharpness sharpness float 1..20 1.25
grainSize grain size float 1..8 2.01
intensityX0 intensityX0 float -x..0..+x 0.75
intensityX1 intensityX1 float -x..0..+x 1.0
Logo A2.png1.00 monochromatic monochromatic bool true, false true
Arma 3 logo black.png1.00 Arma 3 monochromatic monochromatic integer 0, 1 0

Syntax:

_filmGrainHandle ppEffectAdjust [ intensity, sharpness, grainSize, intensityX0, intensityX1, monochromatic ];

Defaults:

_filmGrainHandle ppEffectAdjust [ 0.005, 1.25, 2.01, 0.75, 1.0, true // 0 for Arma 3 ];

Example:

["FilmGrain", 2000, [1, 0.15, 7, 0.2, 1.0, true]] spawn { params ["_name", "_priority", "_effect", "_handle"]; while { _handle = ppEffectCreate [_name, _priority]; _handle < 0; } do { _priority = _priority + 1; }; _handle ppEffectEnable true; _handle ppEffectAdjust _effect; _handle ppEffectCommit 5; waitUntil {ppEffectCommitted _handle}; systemChat "admire effect for a sec"; uiSleep 3; _handle ppEffectEnable false; ppEffectDestroy _handle; };

Advanced effects

⚠
The advanced effects are not intended to be used by the end user. They cannot be created by ppEffectCreate and their adjustments (via ppEffectAdjust) are immediate and do not require ppEffectCommit.
