InventoryOpen handler only triggering task completion from host

[Maurdekye 10]

I have a couple of optional objectives in my map that are attached to crates, and are supposed to complete once any of the players opens one. I have the following code in my init.sqf to handle this;

{
_x addEventHandler ["InventoryOpened", {
	_inv = str (_this select 1);
	if (_inv == "back") then {
		back_taken = true;
	};
	if (_inv == "medi") then {
		medi_taken = true;
	};
	if (["snipe", _inv] call BIS_fnc_inString) then {
		snipe_taken = true;
	};
	if (["antitank", _inv] call BIS_fnc_inString) then {
		at_taken = true;
	};
}];
} foreach [unit0, unit1, unit2, unit3];

However, the objectives are only completed once the host opens the crates, even though the listener is being called for the other players.

Most likely a locality issue, as the code inside the event handler will be run locally on the unit which triggered the EH.

So in this case, it will be setting the variables (which I assume the objectives are `bound` to) to true on the client and not on the server/host - using publicVariable to broadcast the values should resolve the issue.

Do I call this when I initialize the variable, or after I change it?

After the value has changed, you want to broadcast it to the server/other players

Thanks for the help.
