rocket 9 Posted June 27, 2012 Please note new commands: publicVariableServer <varname> Publishers the variable (name as STRING) to the server only. Useful when you want to synchronize a variable with the server but not any other clients. <clientID> publicVariableClient <varname> Publishes a variable (name as STRING) to a specific client, from the server. This is useful where you want to synchronize a variable with only a specific client. The Client ID is the temporary ID given to a connected client for that session. You can find out this ID with the owner command (using it on a player's character, for example, will give you that players client ID). This is a useful way to cut down on network traffic, as publicVariable commands are issued as a priority message. So use publicVariable sparingly, and these commands where they apply. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noubernou 77 Posted June 27, 2012 Fuckin' 'ell... ---------- Post added at 09:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 AM ---------- Wait, can the client one do client to client? That'd be really nice... Obviously it'd have to go across the server... I guess we could roll our own though if not... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Craig_VG 20 Posted June 27, 2012 Wow, thanks BI. I'll be messing around with the these later on. Basically use them in all situations where their purpose applies? Are these commands also seen as priorities where they are used, like how publicVariable is a priority to all machines? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
highhead 20 Posted June 27, 2012 Epic! Thx! Need to check out asap! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
columdrum 11 Posted June 27, 2012 Really interesting new commands :D, we need those included on CBA ASAP wink wink :P. Mmm just gessing, publicVariableClient its only "server--> client" or could work "client-->client"? because the "owner" command seems to only work server side(i supose that you could do the owner command on the server and send the ID to the clients to allow client-->client...) Anways most querrys should be server-->client, client-->server, client-->client would be only usefull for player interactions. Testing them right now :).

das attorney 858 Posted June 27, 2012 That happpens to me sometimes. I think it's because the server is too busy. You could try Six Updater, very useful program Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicholas 5 Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) You guys should add the ability to modify the channels even more. Such as vehicle, group, side, and global chat being dependent on whether or not the user has or is using a certain item. This item can be anything that the mission maker specifies. Let's say, for example you do not have a radio. You would only have access to direct chat. If you have a radio, you could be given access to certain channels. Vehicle chat should only show up when in a vehicle. Making channels dependent upon another object could make for some really cool and interesting scripts or addons. Imagine in DayZ if you found a ham radio, you could be given access to certain channels, where you could then talk to other users.
