Script runs in Preview but not on server?

[Smoerble 11]

Hi all,

I created a mission that workes as planned when using the editor preview. But when running the mission on a server, the script is not executed or not working. Any ideas?

Init of ammo crate in editor:

_nul = [this] execVM "loadoutAmmoBoxAtObjective1.sqf"; 

loadoutAmmoBoxAtObjective1.sqf

/////////   MP Ammo Box script
/////////   By: Riouken
/////////   For Arma 3
if (! isServer) exitWith {};

refillTimeout = 600; // seconds before refill) 
thisCrate = _this select 0;
while {alive thisCrate} do
{
clearMagazineCargo thisCrate;
clearWeaponCargo thisCrate;
clearBackpackCargo thisCrate;
clearItemCargo thisCrate;

// wepaons + ammo:
thisCrate addWeaponCargo ["arifle_MXM_Hamr_pointer_F", 3];
thisCrate addWeaponCargo ["arifle_MX_GL_Hamr_pointer_F", 1];
thisCrate addItemCargo ["30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag_Tracer", 20];
thisCrate addItemCargo ["1Rnd_HE_Grenade_shell", 6];
thisCrate addWeaponCargo ["srifle_EBR_SOS_F", 1];
thisCrate addItemCargo ["20Rnd_762x51_Mag", 4];
thisCrate addWeaponCargo ["launch_NLAW_F", 3];
thisCrate addItemCargo ["NLAW_F", 12];
thisCrate additemcargo ["launch_B_Titan_F", 2];
thisCrate additemcargo ["Titan_AA", 6];
thisCrate addItemCargo ["HandGrenade", 9];

// items:
thisCrate additemcargo ["FirstAidKit", 10];
thisCrate additemcargo ["Medikit", 2];
thisCrate additemcargo ["Toolkit", 1];
thisCrate addWeaponCargo ["Binocular", 8];
thisCrate addItemCargo ["ItemMap", 8];
thisCrate addWeaponCargo ["optic_Holosight", 4];
thisCrate addBackpackCargo ["B_AssaultPack_Base", 3];
thisCrate addBackpackCargo ["B_AssaultPack_dgtl", 1];

// armor:
thisCrate addItemCargo ["V_PlateCarrier1_rgr", 4];
thisCrate addItemCargo ["H_HelmetB", 4];

sleep refillTimeout;
}

Hi, Smoerble because these commands only have local effects, which means only the server sees the newly added items, you may need to use addWeaponCargoGlobal command

i think publicvariable "ammobox" maybe another way to make this script work

Thanks for the quick response.

Sorry, what do you mean with "publicvariable ammobox"?

What happens, when I replace additemcargo with additemcargoGlobal: will it work for Preview and server or only on the server?

As I want to have dfferent loadouts for different ammo boxes, what do you suggest please?

Yes, additemCargoGlobal will work on servers.

Same as addweaponCargoGlobal, addMagazineCargoGlobal ect.
