Help with Script please

[1para{god-father} 105]

I am playing with the Vehicle Respawn script by by Tophe of Östgöta Ops [OOPS] v1.7

I am trying to get the add action if the vehicle is destroyed so it will load up the ammo box again. but i get no Add action to load , any idea why and where i am going wrong ? the name is keeping the same i.e "MHQ_1" but no action comes up ?

It does on my PC but on the DEDI it does not work ?

My code is from..... // This checks if it's the MHQ being respawned

Thanks

The actions are only added on server. Thus, they show up in editor and not on dedi. Action needs to be added on every machine it should be available.

Thanks SHK,

So do i need to take that line out for it to work on dedi ?

[shuko 59]

When you want to add an action, you need to make the server to tell clients to add it.

[1para{god-father} 105]

REally sorry but how do i do that then please ?

[shuko 59]

setvehicleinit + processinitcommands

or

addpublicvariableeventhandler + publicvariable

[1para{god-father} 105]

Looking at the code it has :

if (_haveinit) then 
{_unit setVehicleInit format ["%1;", _unitinit];
processInitCommands;};

Would this not process the INI line again, I have the following in the init line in the vehicle.

_null = mhq_1 addaction ["Load ammobox","attachammo\attach_ammobox.sqf"];

Sorry A little confused as to what your explaining , as still learning.

If I take out

if (!isServer) exitWith {};

It All works but i get 2 x vehicle spawns

[shuko 59]

setVehicleInit doesn't execute the init field again, despite the name of the command. It just adds something new that will be executed on all machines (even for JIPs).

Thanks but getting very confused :)

So how can I call the below when the vehicle is respawned so i get the Addaction again.

MHQ_1 addaction ["Load ammobox", "attachammo1\attach_ammobox.sqf"];

sorry been trying for the last 2 days to get thsi to work!

Cheers

[shuko 59]

MHQ_1 setvehicleinit "this addaction ['Load ammobox', 'attachammo1\attach_ammobox.sqf'];";
processinitcommands;

Many thanks ,

I now get the add addaction when the vehicle respawns but nothing happend when i click it - it's like it is not firering any code , i put a simple Hint in the attach_ammobox.sqf and it did not show the hint , but it did before the respawn
