Find chair object and addAction not working in MP

[CARRICK_IRISH 39]

Hey folks,

right from the start: im a beginner in arma scripting an want to initialize an addAction to every camping-chair in the multiplayer game.

Here is my first solution but it is only working in the editor preview. it is not working on my dedicated server.

i think i have a problem with the "player" thing which is not working in MP?

_chairs = nearestObjects [player, ["Land_CampingChair_V1_F"], 5];

{
 if (typeOf _x == "Land_CampingChair_V1_F") then
   {
       _x addAction ["Hinsetzen","Missionpack\Chairs\sitdown.sqf"];
   };
}
forEach _chairs;

regards,

ian

How are you running it? All clients should get the addAction but not the dedicated server (because "player" is null)

I'm putting this to the Init.sqf but i guess this is absolutely the wrong way

Try waiting for the player variable to not be null (= waiting for the client to get control of the chosen unit). Spawn is there to just separate the waiting from the init.sqf, if you have other stuff after it.

[] spawn {
 waituntil {!isnull player};
 _chairs = nearestObjects [player, ["Land_CampingChair_V1_F"], 5];

 {
   if (typeOf _x == "Land_CampingChair_V1_F") then
     {
         _x addAction ["Hinsetzen","Missionpack\Chairs\sitdown.sqf"];
     };
 }
 forEach _chairs;
};

Ah, i will check the reference for null and spawn and try to implement your code when i'm at home. thank you for the keywords and the answers shuko and cuel
