SimonSays 1 Posted March 26, 2013 Since the modules dont work yet for multiplayer, i put some stuff together from the Escape from Stratis mission, no luck even with a sqf script extern, since triggers seems to be local only too. Hints are not shown for other players as the host, same with the tasks, they dont get finished. Does anybody have a working example how to handle tasks and taskhints in multiplayer?

Have created about 5 missions for MP with Task Modules and have no problems with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please note your system is not using the latest task notification. I suggest to explore new task functions (in Tasks category in functions viewer), as some of them cover certain aspects of your system already and you might consider incorporating them ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the pointer, I'll take a look at that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Varanon 892 Posted March 26, 2013 dump question, what is function viewer and how to use it? In the editor window, there's a few buttons on top, one is a gear with an Fx in front. That lists all functions that are available. They offer useful functionality that goes beyond normal scripting commands. These are usually variables with code called BIS_fnc_* and can be called from within your scripts like [parameters] call BIS_fnc_functionName; (It's a feature that was available in Arma 2 as well, but needed the function module on the map to work) ---------- Post added at 06:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:31 PM ---------- Please note your system is not using the latest task notification.
