isDedicated broken?

[zooloo75 834]

I am working on my Hostage Rescue mission and isServer works when the player is hosting it, but if it is ran on a dedicated server, it fails to do anything.

if(isServer || isDedicated) then

{server sided stuff};

[zooloo75 834]

Anyone?

it'd have to be with something else in the code. What structure does your code follow? IE, is it called from the init.sqf, or is it from a trigger in the world? etc.

There is little to no reason to ever use isDedicated. isServer accounts for SP Missions, listed servers AND dedicated servers so it can be used.

Yea, that's what I thought and knew, but when hosting my mission on a dedicated server, it doesn't run the code set for it, but if I host it ingame, it works just fine.

How do you execute the code in general? init.sqf?

[zooloo75 834]

if(isServer || isDedicated) then 
{
onEachFrame {camEntrance setdir ((direction camEntrance) + 1)};
copSide = []; publicvariable "copSide";
terSide = []; publicvariable "terSide";
civSide = []; publicvariable "civSide";
execvm "reinitserver.sqf";
execVM "extractSmoke.sqf";


};

Which is located in the init.sqf

You can unpbo my mission and see for yourself. It will only run the isServer code if it is hosted ingame.

If you run the arma3.exe wih the -server parameter, it will return isDedicated as true in the game :)
