Dynamic Object Compositions in MP

[Stagler 39]

Im having trouble spawning dynamic object compositions in MP.

It spawns one per client. How do I stop this from happenening? The spawn is triggered by a game logic with the object composition spawn script in its init.

add

if (!isServer) exitWith{};

at the top of your spawn script.

It could be how your script is set up, would you mind to copy/pasta your code?

im just using a game logic with this in the init:

_newComp = [(getPos this), (getDir this), ""CityBase04""] call (compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers ""ca\modules\dyno\data\scripts\objectMapper.sqf""));

any recommendations?

Replace it with this:

if (isServer) then { _newComp = [(getPos this), (getDir this), ""CityBase04""] call (compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers ""ca\modules\dyno\data\scripts\objectMapper.sqf"") );};

The reason it is spawning one for each client, is becasue every client when they load the mission.sqm runs the init in that game logic. So what we need to do is limit it to run on the server only. The clients will still evaluate the init. but only the server will run the code.

Thanks! This worked perfectly I was trying to set up Dynamic object compositions via game logic for a target range I'm working on. I kept getting multiple popup targets on the wreck_target(s)! I googled multiple times! I found nothing to fix the issue, so I broke down and registered. Low and behold it was one of the first posts I found! xD google must not have full access to the forums.

Sadly though, I must say that now the targets have ceased to pop back up... any solutions?

if (!isServer) exitWith{};_newComp = [(getPos this), (getDir this), "FiringRange_Wreck2"] call (compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers "ca\modules\dyno\data\scripts\objectMapper.sqf"));
