Making people immune (locally) on certain conditions.

[Icaruk 14]

init.sqf

null = [player] execVM "script.sqf";

script.sqf

_caller = _this select 0;

while {true} do {
if ((_caller distance center) > 45) then { // when someone is far away from the center, he will be vulnerable
	_caller allowdamage true;
	waitUntil {((_caller distance center) < 45)};
	_caller allowdamage false;
};

if ((_caller distance center) < 45) then {
	_caller allowdamage false;
	waitUntil {((_caller distance center) > 45)}; // when someone is near the center, he will be immune
	_caller allowdamage true;
};
sleep 5;	
};

The idea is that the script works just to the player that is near the centre, not to all players on map, but the problem is that _caller is not defined, on local it works nice, but on multiplayer doesn't... any ideas?

It needs some time for player initialization, add this in the begining:

waitUntil {!isNull _caller};

waitUntil (player == player);

Could work too?

It's the same thing.

"player" will be a null object on JiPs until they've been loaded, so you're basically writing this:

waitUntil {objNull == objNull};

Which will be false because null doesn't equal anything, not even itself. Once the "player" object has been initalized and assigned the waitUntill will continue because then you're checking if some object equals the same object.

I prefer the "!isNull player" approach, it makes it easier to read.

Also

"script".sqf;  

Typo I presume

Yeah, typo xD

I'll test this, thanks.
