have this working but now i also have playable OPFOR so need it Just for WEST , but cannot seem to get it to work for just West Players

While {{isPlayer _x} count nearestObjects [_TAG_sdv,["Man","LandVehicle","AIR"],300] == 0 } do {sleep 5};

Just West only

While {{isPlayer_ x AND side (_this select 1) == WEST } count nearestObjects [_TAG_sdv,["Man","LandVehicle","AIR"],300] == 0 } do {sleep 5};

Thanks

Wouldn't this do the job?

if (side (_this select 1) == WEST) then {

While {{isPlayer _x} count nearestObjects [_TAG_sdv,["Man","LandVehicle","AIR"],300] == 0 } do {sleep 5};
};

Hmm OK any idea why this would not work on Dedi server ?

if (side (_this select 1) == WEST) then {

While {{isPlayer _x} count nearestObjects [_landrover1,["Man","LandVehicle","AIR"],1000] == 0 } do {sleep 5};

Hint "Got here";

};

Works fine in MP but not on dedi ?

Could be a number of things.

Is the script local to the player?

This script is run on server not local 

if(not isServer) exitWith{};

xxx

Then the hint wont show up because it is local to the script

sorry i just put that in there for ref as an example (bad example i know) , even if I change to side chat it does not fire on dedi nothing seem to work inside, but local it does ?

if(not isServer) exitWith{};
if (side (_this select 1) == WEST) then {

While {{isPlayer _x} count nearestObjects [_landrover1,["Man","LandVehicle","AIR"],1000] == 0 } do {sleep 5};

////what ever I run inside will not fire///

///example
_TAG_chopper = "O_MBT_02_arty_F" createVehicle getmarkerpos "Testmarker";
};

runs fine on MP - but dedi get no spawn?

Anyone have any ideas ?

Sorry been trying all day to get this to work on dedi but still no Joy ... basically i need to wait until the any player is x distance to the _landrover1 then spawn in the OPFOR.

This all works fine in MP , but not on Dedi ? if i take out the Side check 

if (side (_this select 1) == WEST) then {}

it works but I need to check the side as i have playable Opfor.

Any idea where i am going wrong ?

if(not isServer) exitWith{};

I just need it to check that any Playable West is near before i spawn

i did try this : 

While {{isPlayer _x AND side = WEST } count nearestObjects [_landrover1,["Man","LandVehicle","AIR"],300] == 0 } do {sleep 5};

but still a no go :(

your missing the _x and a = from the side check

While {{isPlayer _x AND side _x == WEST } count nearestObjects [_landrover1,["Man","LandVehicle","AIR"],300] == 0 } do {sleep 5};

Hi there,

I'm glad your problem got solved. I'm afraid, my problem does not really belong here, but since I cannot open a new thread yet, I hoped my problem seems kinda similar.

I know the 

nearestObjects

command works pretty fine for actually every object in the specified distance. Well, allmost - Actually seemingly everything except for ambient objects (trees, bushes, rocks, ground modeling ...).

All I'm trying to do is to get the distance to any tree in Altis. The following (simple as possible) code example hints every near object (including buildings) within 5 meters, except for what I want - the trees:

hint format["%1", nearestObjects[player, [], 5]];

Now, this must have worked in Arma 2 somehow since in DayZ Mod the player could interact with trees and the code for that ("player_chopWood.sqf") actually uses this:

{ /* some fancy code here */ } forEach nearestObjects [getPos player, [], 20];

So, any idea, what I'm doing wrong? I'd really appreciate some help!

Regards,

waltenberg
