scipt halo help

[mia389 10]

I am trying to start my mission with a few guys paradroping in. I put this in there init line

null = [this] execVM "scripts\halo.sqf"; 

halo.sqf

if (!isServer) then {
waitUntil {alive player};
_unit = player;
_unit addweapon "ACE_ParachutePack";
_unit setPos [(position _unit select 0), (position _unit select 1), 3000];
_unit execVM "x\ace\addons\sys_eject\jumpout_cord.sqf"; 
};

This is for a dedicated server. My problem is the script is executing multiple times. Once for each player joining. How can I fix this?

Also is there a way I can make this more efficient than pasting

null = [this] execVM "scripts\halo.sqf";

into delta_1, delta_2, delta_3, init lines?

if (!isServer) then -> if (_this select 0==player) then

Change the handle from null to zero. If you use nil or null, those commands will assume the value of the handle and they will be unusable for their proper purposes.

Like this?

0 = [this] execVM "scripts\halo.sqf";

if (_this select 0==player) then {

waitUntil {alive player};
_unit = player;
_unit addweapon "ACE_ParachutePack";
_unit setPos [(position _unit select 0), (position _unit select 1), 3000];
_unit execVM "x\ace\addons\sys_eject\jumpout_cord.sqf"; 
};
