OK guys Version 1.2 is online :) I've fixed the error about the textures (so sorry!!) and added red flashlight, a rude mobile radar trap and some extra functionality.

For a full description see my first post and the UPDATE note :)

Thank you all for your feedback!

Hello,

Your radars are working fine in the editor (with flash script), but when I join the server nothing works.

Here is my init

nul = [this,45,80,{

[] execVM "\SpeedRadar\PEG_fnc_SpeedRadarFlash.sqf";

}] execVM "\SpeedRadar\speedradar.sqf";

Also tried to extract both sqf & to mission's folder, edited script path & name.

Any ideas ? Thanks

What error message do you see? If you don't see any message, you may look at your log (at your AppData/Local/Arma 3 folder)

But nothing happens on our screen (4 people tried). (No flash, nothing at all)

Again, we also tried at home computers, with editor, it's working perfectly, but when on server, nop :/

Speedradar.pbo is loaded tho (we see radars in games)

@Spyflo, this is the problem that I mentioned in my first post: You have to ensure that the Flash is executed on the Client's computer. Now, you execute it directly on the server, and the flash is local so only the server can "see" it. You'd have to write a script which gets called on the server but executed on the client which raced across the radar. You could go advanced and distribute the flash position to every client and then ask if the local player is nearby and then display the flash, even if another player has been too fast (would be more realistically).

I tried too

I exported both sqf & renamed them to try

I tried the flash.sqf on an addaction.

it worked perfectly on the server, I got flashed so the sqf script is working.

What I tried is this:

The player is downloading the mission, in that mission there are

Radar.sqf

Radar_flash.sqf

in radar.sqf, when the player get caught (see ur comments) I execVM Radar_flash.sqf

This way, the client should execVM radar_flash.sqf, am I wrong ?

[florianmuellerch 10]

Am I wrong ?

I believe, yes...

I believe you want to do something like that:

Create a script that calls PEG_fnc_SpeedRadarFlash (you did this already), lets call it "flash.sqf".

Create a function of that file (so you can call it).

On the server, call BIS_fnc_MP with the flash if someone gets busted. Maybe you can pass the position of the radar with BIS_fnc_MP to your flash.sqf.

In your flash.sqf you can check if the given position is nearby, and if so, you'll call PEG_fnc_SpeedRadarFlash.

Just from the skratch, this should actually even work :)

Works fine ;)

Thanks for the hint !
