Lights/Sirens a puzzler

[somebloke 0]

So, I'm trying to get a script and config working which will light up a police lightbar. But also gives me an option to turn a siren on.

Right now, the lightbar works fine, other than it is clientside not global, so other people cannot see it on a server. Although weirdly, the user-actions are global, as you can turn the lights on, get out, and someone else can get in and turn them off.

I know very little about scripting or configs, which is why I've come here to get help.

Any help and pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Did you add any addons like PBO files to your ArmA II. If so, that could be the problem. PBO files are apparently addons for ArmA II which you can see but others cannot see.

Its best to alert your friends what addon your using so they can download it and then enjoy the new FX mission or coop you made.

I'm not sure you've understood the request for help.

It's a request to get a lightbar and siren working globally on an addon via scripts and the config, rather than a pbo file not being given to others.

Not to be a complete arse, but I'd think 9 years on this forum would've at least taught me that a pbo file is an addon, and that to play with others I need to send them the same addon.

Edit: That's not to say I don't appreciate your suggestion and offer of assistance, it's just a bit..."off" for the request's purpose.
