"Killed" event handle not working on created units from addAction

[BEAKSBY 11]

When I create a unit from an addAction scripted in the initPlayerLocal.sqf then destroy it the "killed" EVH that is ran from the initServer.sqf is not executed. However "killed" EVH is executed on killed units that are placed in the mission from the Editor?

What could be causing this?

initPlayerLocal.sqf

player addAction ["O_HMG_01_high_F", {_OPPGun = createVehicle ["O_HMG_01_high_F",position player, [], 0, "NONE"]; }];

initServer.sqf

{
_x addeventhandler ["killed",{hint "unit killed as executed from the Killed EVH";}]; 
} foreach allUnits+vehicles+allUnitsUAV; 

Thanks in advance...

make the snippet from initServer.sqf look like this:

_nul = [] spawn {
_checklist = [];
while {alive player} do {

{
if !(_x in _checklist) then {
_x addeventhandler ["killed",{hint "unit killed as executed from the Killed EVH";}]; 
_checklist set [count _checklist,_x];
};

} foreach allUnits+vehicles+allUnitsUAV;
sleep 5;
}; 
};

This will check if all your specified units are in a checklist, if not they'll get the eventhandler, runs every 5 seconds. You could add a marvelous performancesleep within the foreach command for performance reasons.

rubbish what i wrote. The problem is another one, see post above.

Thanks, was having similar issue so will try this out.

I tried it below but it did not work.

_nul = [] spawn {
_checklist = [];
while {alive player} do {

{
if !(_x in _checklist) then {

// add correct EVH's to vehicle types

{
switch (true) do {

case   (_x iskindof "StaticWeapon") : { 
           _x addeventhandler ["killed",{_this execvm "reward_veh.sqf";}]; 
           _x addeventhandler ["EpeContact",{if((_this select 1) iskindof "landvehicle") then {(_this select 0) setvariable ["collision",driver (_this select 1)]};}];               

		}; 
}; //end switchcase

_checklist set [count _checklist,_x];
};
} foreach allUnits+vehicles+allUnitsUAV;
sleep 5;
}; 
};
};

How do I run the foreach allUnits+vehicles+allUnitsUAV; throughout the game without affecting performance? Starting new thread as I think this is a different issue?

Your code is a bit sloppy. Use proper indentation and an editor with syntax highlighting (Poseidon is really good) and you'll easily spot the issues.

_nul = [] spawn {
private ['_checklist'];
_checklist = [];
while {alive player} do {
	{
		if !(_x in _checklist) then {
			// add correct EVH's to vehicle types
			switch (true) do {
				case (_x iskindof "StaticWeapon"): { 
					_x addeventhandler ["killed",{_this execvm "reward_veh.sqf";}]; 
					_x addeventhandler ["EpeContact",{if((_this select 1) iskindof "landvehicle") then {(_this select 0) setvariable ["collision",driver (_this select 1)]};}];               
				}; 
			}; //end switchcase

			_checklist set [count _checklist,_x];
		};
	} foreach allUnits+vehicles+allUnitsUAV;
	sleep 5;
}; 
};

Why would you need a new thread for that?

ps.: You should consider to remove the "alive player" loop and rather run this code only on the server.
