BIS_fnc_MP executing for a specific client

[mikie boy 18]

Sorry chaps been a while since any real MP scripting in last 6 months, and thus on attempting to piss around with BIS_fnc_MP I cannot get a file to be executed for a specific player/client

checked the BIS_fnc_MP wiki - mentioned something about id as part of the available parameters - "Number - function will be executed only on client with the given ID"

firstly what is the id? uid or netid? if its either i have tried both with no joy.

e.g

if (isserver) then {
//load of code

_net = netid _resel;
[[],"gui\secopscallmenu.sqf","BIS_fnc_execVM",_net,false] spawn BIS_fnc_MP;

};

_resel is a player picked out of an array -

back in A2 -

[nil,_resel,"loc",rEXECVM,"gui\secopscallmenu.sqf"] call re;

- worked no problem

and the one file would be called for that specific player - now i have no idea, and what i have ready have had no luck with

if its netid - must admit not familiar with it and would appreciate a point in the right direction

Any help would be appreciated.

Try changing _net to _resel in the bis_fnc_mp line :). It can take a target parameter

IIRC.

If not, use the owner command

Have you tried simply:

[[],"gui\secopscallmenu.sqf","BIS_fnc_execVM",_resel,false] spawn BIS_fnc_MP;

Edit: Dammit, can't read.

[mikie boy 18]

_clientID = owner _resel

_uid = getplayeruid _resel;

_net = netid _resel;

//Ensure only the GUI gets called for selected Player from Array

[[],"gui\secopscallmenu.sqf","BIS_fnc_execVM",_clientID,false] spawn BIS_fnc_MP;

alas neither idea work - appreciate it though - thought the owner would have done it unless its not in the correct place

BIS_fnc_execVM is sent one array of [ args, function ].

BIS_fnc_execVM is run by BIS_fnc_MP where _resel is local.

The owner method will work, or you can pass the unit object its self. Note that owner only works for the dedicated server, if it is executed on the client 0 is returned (which is the server).

unfortunately - neither

[ [ [], "gui/secopscallmenu.sqf" ], "BIS_fnc_execVM", [color="#FF0000"]_resel[/color], false ] call BIS_fnc_MP;

or

 [ [ [], "gui/secopscallmenu.sqf" ], "BIS_fnc_execVM", [color="#FF0000"]_clientID[/color], false ] call BIS_fnc_MP;

seem to work

not sure if its something else -

basically - for testing purposes i tried this

file1.sqf

if (isserver) then

{
execvm "file2.sqf";

};

file2.sqf

PVHint = "hello"; publicvariable "PVHint";
hint "hello locally";
sleep 2;
execvm "file2.sqf";

file3.sqf

PVHint = "hello file three public"; publicvariable "PVHint";
hint "hello file 3.sqf";

sleep 2;

for some reason - file one calls file two -which hints - however file three is never called - even for server?

Any suggestions?

This

[ [ [], "gui/secopscallmenu.sqf" ], "BIS_fnc_execVM", _resel, false ] call BIS_fnc_MP;

should work... except it should be

[ [ [], "gui\secopscallmenu.sqf" ], "BIS_fnc_execVM", _resel, false ] call BIS_fnc_MP;

Also you probably don't need to pass arguments if they're an empty array.
