Running script ONLY on specific player

[Macaco 1]

I want to run a script ONLY on the player it is relevant to, but I am having a lot of trouble with this. I gave up on that and went on to trying to figure a way that if it's not running on the right person, exitwith {}; but I can't seem to get that figured out either. The script involves addActions so I can't really make it run only on the server.

Hey Macaco,

How do you know which player you want to run it on?

If the script is being run from a trigger you could use the "thisList" variable like this:

if (player in thisList) then { ...

You could also detect the event on the server and use remote execution to add the actions on a particular client.

Depending on who has gone up and used the item. However I've figured it out using getPlayerUID and a variable called holderUID.

---in another script that is run on the person who spawns with it

sleep 5;

holderUID = getPlayerUID CIA1;

publicVariable "holderUID";

nul = [CIA1,CIA1,"","take"] execVM "scripts\Briefcase.sqf";

---at the beginning of the pick up/drop script

if (isNil "holderUID") then {holderUID = getPlayerUID player; publicVariable "holderUID";};

if ((getPlayerUID player != holderUID) || isDedicated) exitwith {};

now I just have other bugs to fix
