grad-scoreboard v0.1.1

GRAD Scoreboard

A dynamic scoreboard that displays what you feed it.
Works well together with GRAD Winrate Tracker.

Features

• take a specifically formatted array of statistics
• optionally sort it
• display it in a dialog
• adjust the dialog dimensions depending on array contents
• try to find the player's profile name and highlight their statistics

Dependencies

The CBA_A3 mod is required.

Installation

Manually

1. Create a folder in your mission root folder and name it modules. Then create one inside there and call it grad-scoreboard.
2. Download the contents of this repository ( there's a download link at the side ) and put it into the directory you just created.
3. see step 3 below in the npm part

Via npm

for details about what npm is and how to use it, look it up on npmjs.com

1. Install package grad-scoreboard : npm install --save grad-scoreboard
2. Prepend your mission's description.ext with #define MODULES_DIRECTORY node_modules
3. Append the following lines of code to the description.ext:

#include "node_modules\grad-scoreboard\grad_scoreboard.hpp"

class CfgFunctions {
    #include "node_modules\grad-scoreboard\cfgFunctions.hpp"
};

Usage

If no second statistics array is provided, the additional window will be hidden. The parameter array can be generated with GRAD Winrate Tracker (however, if you want any other stats than games, wins, losses, winrate, winrateTracker will not work for you). To open the scoreboard, use
[duration,main stats,main headline,rank numbers,sort,2nd stats,2nd headline,2nd rank numbers,2nd sort,disable simulation] call grad_scoreboard_fnc_loadScoreboard:

Example: [20,_allStats,"statistics of my mission",true] call grad_scoreboard_fnc_loadScoreboard

Statistics Arrays Syntax

The statistics arrays passed to the scoreboard have to be formatted in a certain way:

_allStats = [array,array,array,...]

• the first nested array is interpreted as the headline
• all nested arrays have to be the same length
• all elements of the same index have to be of the same type
• the main and additional stats arrays can be completely different

Example:

_allStats = [
    ["Player name", "Points", "Kills"],
    ["Hans", 12, 6],
    ["Franz", 15, 5],
    ["Alf", 9, 2]
];

Sorting

If the statistics are to be sorted before displaying, the sort parameter is used.

[true,1,false] would sort the stats array from the previous example descending by points:

_allStats = [
    ["Player name", "Points", "Kills"],
    ["Franz", 15, 5],
    ["Hans", 12, 6],
    ["Alf", 9, 2]
];

[true,2,true] would sort the stats array from the previous example ascending by kills:

_allStats = [
    ["Player name", "Points", "Kills"],
    ["Alf", 9, 2]
    ["Franz", 15, 5],
    ["Hans", 12, 6],
];
