combat drone uses infantry viewdistance

[longtimegamer]

Infantry viewdistance is applied while flying a combat drone.

Steps to reproduce:

• d_save_to_mpns = 0
• d_enable_extra_cas = 1
• set infantry viewdistance to a low value
• fly somewhere and deploy the MHQ
• create a combat drone
• click "Control Gunner" (must use the turret camera to see the bug)
• click "release UAV controls"
• check the Domination dashboard
• observe the viewdistance is not expected value (air viewdistance)

@Xeno69 any suggestions to fix or troubleshoot?

[Xeno69]

Yeah, but I'm not near my PC till tomorrow

For now check here: https://github.com/Xeno69/Domination/blob/master/co30_Domination.Altis/client/fn_vdhandler.sqf

Found a bug here. Steps to reproduce:

• set infantry viewdistance to a low number and air viewdistance to a high number
• spawn a combat UAV and exit UAV terminal
• observe the infantry vd is now equal to air vd

Mkay, will check in the next days.

I have checked that now. The viewdistance doesn't change. inf vd is the same as before spawning the combat UAV.

I am also using these settings:

d_InitialViewDistance = 1000; d_ViewdistanceChange = 2; // server sets, client may change later

EDIT: nevermind not relevant, the bug appears with default settings

[longtimegamer]

I am able to easily reproduce this bug. I edited the steps above in the top post. Please review.

Did you try with the combat UAV turret control? That step seems to cause the bug.

[longtimegamer]

It seems to set view distance here:

https://github.com/Xeno69/Domination/blob/master/co30_Domination.Altis/client/fn_uav_check.sqf#L30

the while loop exits when the player chooses "release UAV controls" but the viewdistance stays set at d_ViewDistanceAir

maybe after getConnectedUAV player returns null do:

if(_uav is a greyhawk) then { updated vd}

I added a fix for review.
