Performing an animation on all clients?

[roguetrooper 2]

In A2 usually an animation executed with switchmove was only locally. To have the animation be seen on all machines in MP, you could use:

[objNull, _unit, rSWITCHMOVE, "AdvePercMstpSnonWnonDnon_godown"] call RE;

How can you make a scripted animation in Arma III to show up on all machines when the command is executed locally?

[[[_unit], {(_this select 0) switchMove "AdvePercMstpSnonWnonDnon_godown";}], "BIS_fnc_call", nil, false, true] call BIS_fnc_MP;

[[[_unit], {(_this select 0) switchMove "AdvePercMstpSnonWnonDnon_godown";}], "BIS_fnc_call", nil, false, true] call BIS_fnc_MP;

I think it should be:

[[[_unit], {(_this select 0) switchMove "AdvePercMstpSnonWnonDnon_godown";}], "BIS_fnc_call", false, true] call BIS_fnc_MP;

without "nil"... or without "false"... makes no difference. There is one parameter too much.

I was wrong :p

I think it should be:

[[[_unit], {(_this select 0) switchMove "AdvePercMstpSnonWnonDnon_godown";}], "BIS_fnc_call", false, true] call BIS_fnc_MP;

without "nil"... or without "false"... makes no difference. There is one parameter too much.

No, everything was correct. "false" after "BIS_fnc_call" will make it execute it only on server, nil is value used to indicate that script should be executed everywhere. 5th argument is undocumented and defines if code should be called in scheduled environment or not (false for scheduled).

Oh my fault. It should be

[[[_unit], {(_this select 0) switchMove "AdvePercMstpSnonWnonDnon_godown";}], "BIS_fnc_call", true, false] call BIS_fnc_MP;

As far as I know, "true" is the same as "nil".

But anyway, I didn't know about the fifth parameter since it is not documented. What do you mean with "scheduled environment"?

As far as I remember true excludes dedicated server (and non-dedicated server too?)

I just tested it:

[[0,"TEST1"],"life_fnc_broadcastMessage",nil,false] spawn BIS_fnc_MP;
[[0,"TEST2"],"life_fnc_broadcastMessage",true,false] spawn BIS_fnc_MP;

Both times the function was executed on the dedicated server...

About the scheduled environment:

That means when adding "true" as fifth parameter the function will be executed immediately ignoring any scheduling? And I guess "false" is default?

Yes, exactly.

Thanks for the effort, guys.

[[[_unit], {(_this select 0) switchMove "AdvePercMstpSnonWnonDnon_godown";}], "BIS_fnc_call", nil, false, true] call BIS_fnc_MP;

The switchmove-example might be not that useful, but is the method at all JIP compatible?

[samatra 85]

What do you mean by JIP compatible? I think when player joins it gets current animation from the server so JIP shouldn't be a problem.

[roguetrooper 2]

Whether the method

[[[parameter], {(_this select 0) anyCommand}], "BIS_fnc_call", nil, false, true] call BIS_fnc_MP;

is JIP compatible. Will the stuff be executed on clients who join after the whole script line had been executed?

[samatra 85]

This whole script will be executed within one frame on all clients and will not be executed on clients that join afterwards. Also look at https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_MP
