Hint parseText global

[jcarrest 10]

I have a serious problem with "HINT PARSETEXT".

I can not be published to all players.

Try activated from a flag, but only you can read it,

the player who triggers the script.

Any idea in order to complete my script?

This is the script I'm creating:

switch (secundario) do
{

case "false":
{


SMunits = [];
secundario = true;
sleep 5;
_Cscomunicaciones = "<t align='center'><t size='2.2'>Mission Secundaria</t><br/><t size='1.5' color='#00B2EE'>COMPLETADA</t><br/>____________________<br/>Buen trabajo! <br/><br/>Torre Destruida</t>";


_scomunicaciones = "<t align='center'><t size='2.0'>OBJ. SECUNDARIO</t><br/><t size='1.5' color='#00B2EE'>COMUNICACIONES</t><br/>____________________<br/>Tenemos que destruir la Torre de Comunicaciones para desestabilizar al enemigo.</t>";
hint parsetext _scomunicaciones;
_position = ["water","out"] call BIS_fnc_randomPos;

sideObj = "Land_TTowerBig_1_F" createVehicle _position;
sideObj allowDamage false;
sideObj setdir random 360;
_normal = surfaceNormal (position sideObj);
sideObj setVectorUp _normal;
SMunits = SMunits + [sideObj];
	_random = (round(random 2) + 1);
	for "_i" from 0 to _random do 
	{
	_randompatrol = (round(random 200) + 200);
	_randomdistance = (round(random 150) + 200);
	_randomPos = [[[getPos sideObj,_randomdistance]],["water","out"]] call BIS_fnc_randomPos;
	_spawnGroup = [_randomPos, EAST, (configfile >> "CfgGroups" >> "East" >> "OPF_F" >> "Infantry" >> "OIA_InfTeam")] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;
	[_spawnGroup, getpos sideObj,_randompatrol] call BIS_fnc_taskPatrol;
	SMunits = SMunits + (units _spawnGroup);
	};

	/*
	{
	_randompatrol = (round(random 200) + 200);
	_randomdistance = (round(random 150) + 200);
	_randomPos = [[[getPos sideObj,_randomdistance]],["water","out"]] call BIS_fnc_randomPos;
	_spawnGroup = [_randomPos, EAST, (configfile >> "CfgGroups" >> "East" >> "OPF_F" >> "Infantry" >> "OIA_InfTeam")] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;

	SMunits = SMunits + (units _spawnGroup);
	_randomPos = [[[getPos sideObj, 10]],["water","out"]] call BIS_fnc_randomPos;
	_spawnGroup = [_randomPos, EAST, (configfile >> "CfgGroups" >> "East" >> "OPF_F" >> "SpecOps" >> "OI_diverTeam_SDV")] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;
	[_spawnGroup, getpos sideObj] call BIS_fnc_taskDefend;

	SMunits = SMunits + (units _spawnGroup);
		*/
		"sideMarker" setmarkerpos (position sideobj);
		"sideMarker" setmarkertext "Destruir Torre";
		"sideMarker" setmarkercolor "ColorRed";

		trgc_0 = createTrigger["EmptyDetector", getPos sideObj];
		trgc_0 setTriggerArea[13,13,0,true];

		waitUntil {!alive sideObj};
		"sideMarker" setMarkerPos [0,0,0];

		//"sideMarker" setmarkeralpha 0;


		deleteVehicle trgc_0;
		hint parsetext format _Cscomunicaciones;
		secundario = "false";
		publicvariable "secundario";
		sleep 60;
		{deletevehicle _x} foreach SMunits;
		deleteVehicle trgc_0;
		exit
		};
		Default {

hint "Ya existe una misión secundaria asignada";};

};
};

Thanks!!!!

NOTE: It is only a suggestion, try it..if it won't work, revert it.

_Cscomunicaciones = format ["<t align='center'>...</t>"];
GlobalHint = _Cscomunicaciones;
publicVariable "GlobalHint";
hintsilent parseText _Cscomunicaciones;

_scomunicaciones = format ["<t align='center'>...</t>"];
GlobalHint = _scomunicaciones;
publicVariable "GlobalHint";
hintsilent parseText _scomunicaciones;

[jts_2009 96]

he need to use remote execution. not the publicvariable

[kylania 567]

The public variable thing Valixx is talking about assumes you have a GlobalHint publicVariable function setup.

[Larrow 2799]

waitUntil{!(isNull player)};
"GlobalHint" addPublicVariableEventHandler {
	hintSilent parseText GlobalHint;
};

PublicVariable of the hint will work just fine. Valixx just forgot to include the eventhandler for it.

Damn.. thanks to you both for the heads up :)

[jcarrest 10]

First thank you all for the help.

I tried this:

_Cscomunicaciones = format ["<t align='center'>...</t>"];
GlobalHint = _Cscomunicaciones;
publicVariable "GlobalHint";
hintsilent parseText _Cscomunicaciones;

waitUntil{!(isNull player)};
   "GlobalHint" addPublicVariableEventHandler {
       hintSilent parseText GlobalHint;
   };  

_scomunicaciones = format ["<t align='center'>...</t>"];
GlobalHint = _scomunicaciones;
publicVariable "GlobalHint";
hintsilent parseText _scomunicaciones;  

waitUntil{!(isNull player)};
   "GlobalHint" addPublicVariableEventHandler {
       hintSilent parseText GlobalHint;
   };  

Not if I understand correctly but does not work.

If you guys could clarify, would you do me very happy...

in a trigger works but when I try to do it from the flag only sees the text the player to select the mission.

Hi jcarrest,

I should of been more specific my fault.

The event handler code i posted should be put in your init.sqf. It is only needed to be run once by all clients. All client are then listening for a change to the GlobalHint variable.

On your other script setting the contents of GloablHint and then Public Variabling it , the clients publicVariableEventHandler notices the change and hints the contents to the client.

Hope that makes more sense.

Now it works!

Thanks you!!!!
