sound works locally but not on dedicated ?

[BL1P 35]

Hello.

I am trying to get a suicide bomber script to run in a mission I am editing

What happens is a bomber sees a target and yells something at them then charges them then expldoes

On my local machine it all works fine

On my dedicated the shout isnt herd but the rest of the script is good and i get no errors in the server.rpt as far as I can tell

This is the code im using

In the description

class CfgSounds {
#include "mps\dialog\mps_sounds.sqf"

class allahu
{
	name = "allahu";
	sound[] = {\sound\allahu.ogg, db + 0, 1.0};
	titles[] = {0, ""};
};

In the script for the bomber 2 lines :-

_shout = if (count _this > 5) then {_this select 5} else {false}

if (_shout) then {_unit say [_sound,5]};

Like I said it works fine localy but does not work on my dedicated

Any help would be fantastic

Thanks

if (_shout) then {_unit, rSAY, "allahu"};

Still doesnt work :(

rSAY only works in conjunction with the RE function. You would need to do something like this:

if (_shout) then {[_unit,rSAY,"allahu"] call RE}

Alternatively, you could just use CBA's global execute function if you have CBA. Finally, there's always the tired-and-true public variable option. How are you executing the script, by the way? This locality issue could be avoided altogether by executing the script globally.

erm

I place a trigger on the map with civi inside the trigger radius

then i add this in the trigger

nul = [thislist select floor(random count thislist), WEST, 7, 50] execVM "hkRandom.sqf";

Im crap at scripting and dont yet understand the global and local stuff

but im about to test the code you gave me

the mission is using CBA but i have no idea what CBA is doing or how to use CBA nor do I understand how to exec a script globally rather than locally

[st_dux 26]

Well, if it's being fired from a general trigger like that, the script should be executing globally, which leads me to believe that you have a condition somewhere in your script (e.g., isServer) that is preventing the "say" line in particular from being run globally. No matter, CBA can circumvent the issue for you:

[[_unit],"allahu"] call CBA_fnc_globalSay

I am 99% sure that will work anyway, but if you're interested in learning about locality so you can solve these problems yourself in the future, feel free to post your whole script here so we can take a look at why the "say" was local in this case.

As the script and the mission im editing are not mine. I dont feel it would be apropriate of me to post them.

but here are the links :)

I am using this script package for the bomber

As I expected, the "say" line is within an "isServer" conditional statement. This is why it wasn't playing on your dedicated server: "Say" is a local command, and it is only being run on the server; therefore, only the server can play the sound (and because it's a dedicated server, no one would hear it). If the "say" line were to be taken out of the "isServer" conditional, it would play for everyone. Your best bet is to use the CBA function mentioned above.

the cba line did not work

:(

thanks for he help btw

how do i go about making the script not use that isserver bit ?

[st_dux 26]

I'm really surprised that the CBA line didn't work. Are you sure you're running CBA? In any case, I wouldn't bother trying to mess with the structure of that script. Try this:

if (_shout) then {_unit setVehicleInit "this say ""allahu""";processInitCommands};

It's not the most elegant solution, but it will work.

It may not be elegant but it worked :):):)

thank you very much for all your help !!!!!!!!!

An elegant way would be using the multiplayer framework.

You'll need to add the functions module to your mission.

[nil, nil, rSay, _unit, "allahu"] call RE;

Works. If you're still having trouble using RE upload the mission files somewhere. You really want to use it, solves a lot of headaches
