Set Killed event handler in initPlayerLocal.sqf

[florianmuellerch 10]

Hi guys

When I try to set up the killed event handler to my joining player in initPlayerLocal.sqf, it won't work.

player addEventHandler ["killed",{_this call PEG_fnc_playerKilled}];

This function is a function which gets compiled before on the dedicated server.

I tried:

- "this" instead of "player"

- "[_this] call ..." instead of "_this call..."

Please help! :(

I made this mistake as well:

_index = player addMPEventHandler ["mpkilled", {hint format['Killed by %1',_this select 1];}];

I made this mistake as well:

_index = player addMPEventHandler ["mpkilled", {hint format['Killed by %1',_this select 1];}];

I tried the MP event before, but I've constructed now another solution which uses the regular events ("killed"/"respawn").

But my mistake was that the function PEG_fnc_playerKilled was compiled before in initServer.sqf, but this seems not to be visible in initPlayerLocal.sqf - neither would it make sense because I'm using iniDB on the server in there ;)

But thanks for your help!

Yes it may be best to compile the Arma3 way:

Main benefits uncludes:

Automatic compilation upon mission start into a global variable - no need to remember direct paths to files.

Anti-hack protection using compileFinal

Advanced debugging options

Optional immediate execution upon mission start, without need for manual call
