Locality problem with custom halo script

[alleycat 28]

I created a HALO script that works like this:

Player moves up to flagpole, performs an action, gets teleported and halodropped. When I ordered an AI to perform the action the teleportation worked, however how to make other things like hints and screen effects local to only the unit that performed it?

_obj = _this select 0;

_caller = _this select 1;

_id = _this select 2;

_caller setpos (getMarkerPos "mrk_halo" );

cutText ["", "BLACK OUT",0.1];

[_caller, 700] exec "ca\air2\halo\data\Scripts\HALO_init.sqs";

sleep 2;

cutText ["", "BLACK IN",0.5];

sleep 0.5;

//Initiate altimeter loop

while

{

(getPos _caller select 2) > 400} do {hintsilent parseText format["<t color='#FFFFFF' shadow='1' shadowColor='#000000' underline='true'>Altitude<br/></t><t color='#66F4F0' size='1.4'>%1</t>",(getPos _caller select 2)];

sleep 0.1;

};

while

{

(getPos _caller select 2) > 10} do {hintsilent parseText format["<t color='#FFFFFF' shadow='1' shadowColor='#000000' underline='true'>Altitude<br/></t><t color='#66F4F0' size='1.4'>%1</t><br/><t shadow='1' shadowColor='#000000' color='#D5780D' underline='false' size='1'>LOW ALTITUDE</t>",(getPos _caller select 2)];

sleep 0.1;

};

hintsilent "";

I think I can get around it by using

If (local _caller)

to execute it on local machines only, however the AI seems still to count as local. How to extend the condition to LOCAL AND AI?

Also another problem. I want to run a script on INIT that basically displays some hints to players, depending on their side

In init.sqf:

playableunits execVM "overview.sqf";

overview.sqf

_caller = _this select 0;

If (isPlayer _caller && side _caller == WEST) then {

sleep 1;

hintsilent parseText format["<t color='#FFFFFF'>Move to the flagpole to initiate the HALO drop.</t>];

}

However the script does not appear to have any effect. Also there are no script errors.
