BIS_fnc_MP is not working

[Naiss 28]

when i try to spawn BIS_fnc_MP; it wont work for some reason

and the BIS_fnc_MP command worked just fine yesterday

BIS_fnc_MP spawn here:

_msg = format ["someone is robbing a Gas station at %1",mapGridPosition player];
[[_this,_msg], "ARPG_Robbing_gas_tellServerStart", west] spawn BIS_fnc_MP;

Call to this Function:

ARPG_Robbing_gas_tellServerStart = {
_g = _this select 1;
player globalChat _g;
};

1 BIS_fnc_MP is function, not script, so use call instead spawn.

2 ARPG_Robbing_gas_tellServerStart must be known to computer on which called.

3 You can use this code:

[[player, _msg], "globalChat"] call BIS_fnc_MP;

Almost all of the BIS_fnc I have seen or used are called not spawned, because most return a value and don't need to be run on a scheduled environment.

Use call to run BIS_fnc_MP, read the documentation again, the last parameter is used to set whether you want the function to be called or spawned.

BIS_FNC_MP is different to most functions in that it makes little difference if you call or spawn on YOUR OWN machine.

[args,"functionName",TRUE] call BIS_fnc_MP;

Is pretty much the same as:

[args,"functionName",TRUE] spawn BIS_fnc_MP;

It is the 5th parameter that determines if it called or spawned on the TARGET machines (which may include your own).

[args,"functionName",TRUE,FALSE,TRUE] spawn BIS_fnc_MP;  <== calls it on target machines

[args,"functionName",TRUE,FALSE,TRUE] call BIS_fnc_MP;  <== calls it on target machines

[args,"functionName",TRUE,FALSE,FALSE] call BIS_fnc_MP;  <== spawns it on target machines

If you don't define it as TRUE, then the func is spawned by default.

I don't think that's the issue here anyway.
