All units can build sandbag walls - problem

[A-SUICIDAL 11]

I threw this script together fast and added it to a trigger system that checks when each player is alive and then adds the ability for each player to build a small sandbag wall. It works great when I preview it, but I knew it was going to bug when I tested it online. My friend built a sandbag wall, but I could not see the sandbag walls that he built, and he couldn't see the walls that I built. So I searched around and could not find a fix for this, so I decided to ask for help.

Here's the script:

build_cover.sqf

_unit = _this select 0;
_id = _this select 2;

_unit removeAction _id;

_unit switchMove "AinvPknlMstpSlayWrflDnon_medic";
sleep 3;

_cover1 = "Land_BagFenceShort" createVehicleLocal [0,0,0];
_cover2 = "Land_BagFenceShort" createVehicleLocal [0,0,0];
_cover1 setDir ((direction _unit) -180);
_cover1 setPos (_unit modelToWorld [0,1.4,((position _unit) select 2)]);
_cover2 setDir ((direction _unit) -180);
_cover2 setPos (_unit modelToWorld [0,1.2,((position _unit) select 2) -0.6]);

sleep 1;

_unit addAction ["Build Cover", "cover_build.sqf","",1,false];

exit

I tested it a few different ways and couldn't get it fixed. But yeah, it sure is a fun script when I previewed it.

I tried this:

this addAction ["Build Cover", "cover_build.sqf","",1,false];

and i tried this:

if (local this) then {this addAction ["Build Cover", "cover_build.sqf","",1,false]};

But I'm no scripting god, so now I'm just lost.

It creates 2 sandbag walls stacked on top of each other, because when I tried building a wall on the side of a steep hill, the wall appeared hovering in mid air, so by creating a second wall below it that sinks into the ground, I was able to solve the hovering problem. Now I just need to make this script work so other players can see the wall online.

createVehicleLocal try createVehicle instead

You should learn the meaning of local... :p

[A-SUICIDAL 11]

I would if I had more time

[buliwyf 4]

No time is every time... ;)

I would like to use this script for a mission of mine. I added the sqf to my mission folder, when I boot up the editor and run it it says the script file cannot be found. I have 2 other scripts in the mission folder that are working but this one doesnt show up. Any help?

Again, I apologize for the necro post, but I like the simplicity of this script and would like to use it for my private coop mission. Thank you.
