Dedicated server not responding to publicVariable

[skimmer8824 1]

Hi, I have been trying to get this simple piece of code to work. It is properly executed in SP and on a listen server; however, it fails to work on a dedicated server. The code gives the player an action to print "Hello" to all clients. What have I overlooked? Thanks!

init.sqf:

// init.sqf
waituntil {!(isnil "bis_fnc_init")};

showChat true;
enableSaving [False, False];

gc_function = {(_this select 0) globalchat (_this select 1)};
sayHello = FALSE; 
publicVariable "sayHello";

if(!isDedicated) then
{
player addAction ["Say Hello","talk.sqf"];
};

if (isServer) then
{    
while {true} do
{
	waitUntil {sayHello};
	[[player, "Hello"], "gc_function"] call BIS_fnc_mp;
	sayHello = FALSE;
	publicVariable "sayHello";
};
}; 

talk.sqf:

sayHello = TRUE;
publicVariable "sayHello";

use addPublicVariableEventHandler instead of non-sleep cycle.

i.e.:

// init.sqf 
waituntil {!(isnil "bis_fnc_init")}; 

showChat true; 
enableSaving [False, False]; 

gc_function = {(_this select 0) globalchat (_this select 1)}; 

if(!isDedicated) then 
{ 
   player addAction ["Say Hello","talk.sqf"]; 
}; 

if (isServer) then 
{     
   "sayHello" addPublicVariableEventHandler {
	if (_this select 1) then {
		[[player, "Hello"], "gc_function"] call BIS_fnc_mp;
		sayHello = false;
	};
};
};

talk.sqf:

sayHello = true;
publicVariableServer "sayHello";

Thanks for the quick reply. This works in a listen server environment, but I still can't get it to work on a dedicated server.

The RPT file contains repeated entries of "Handler not present".

Any ideas?, I can post the PBO if needed.
