AddAction and Dedicated Server Issue

[noricum 10]

Dear Community,

i'm unable to solve this myself, even though i was searching the whole forum for a suitable fix.

Basically i have one guy placed with an action,

this addAction [("<t color='#E61616'>" + ("Interrogate") + "</t>"),"task.sqf","",1,true,true,"","(_target distance _this) < 3"]

which hides preplaced ammoboxes in an certain area (task.sqf):

if (isServer) then {

{_pos = ["mr_zone"] call SHK_pos;
(createMarker [str round random 999999, _pos]) setMarkerType "o_air";
_x setPos _pos; } foreach [cache1,cache2,cache3];

};

Seems to work fine in the editor, but it's not working on a dedicated server, nothing happens there.

Can someone please help me out?

Wouldn't you need "_this addAction...." ?

thanks for your reply, i have the action in the init of the unit, so _this would cause a local variable in global space.

Next time try to be a bit more precise when you describe what works and what doesn't.

I bet your action does show up but has no effect.

This is because when you use an action, the script of that action is only executed local to the player who used it.

In your case, it should suffice to remove the "isServer" check.

However, you'll also have to add a few lines to remove the action on all clients, so it cannot be used multiple times.

thank you, going to test it out tonight!

If you do use any AI on your map it's worth knowing that Invisible ammo boxes are only invisible to players AI can see them and use them.
