You can push Your thread every day for the next few Years.

As long as You don't provide any usefull information, nobody will be able to help You.

Check the Logfiles (*.rpt) of both client and server for any errors and try to fix them.

You also could have locality issues, for instance referencing "player" doesn't play nice on a dedicated server since there is no player.

But KiloSwiss is correct, without useful information all anyone can do is stab in the dark and most people won't bother with that.

It's for Arma 3 but most will apply here:

There is really no errors in the RPT file just when the mission is on the server it doesnt execute the scripts in a loop but when mission is ran client side it all works

This is how i have the gas robbing exec but the players do not get the action to rob the gas station unless mission is ran server side if i run fixgasrob.sqf on the debug console and execute it local it gas robbing works only for my character if execute it on server still only works for me

Please upload all the Files (including the ones in which You exec/call the scripts/functions), so we can have a closer look.

Its not only the gas script none of these scripts are executed when the mission is on the actual server

Im not sure if it has something to do with if(isServer) then { but im pretty sure thats correct ?

You could have answered that question by Yourself when either A. You were reading the WIKI about isServer or B. You would have read the linked article (see Post #5 by SavageCDN) where KillzoneKid explains locality.

To straight answer your question:

"if(isServer)..." will only let the scripts run on the server (including localhost).

And that's the reason why they don't get executed on clients.

Here are a few examples with isServer and isDedicated in the

if(isServer)then{
//code runs on localhost
//code runs on dedicated server

//code does not run on client
};

if(isServer)exitwith{};
//code runs on client

//code does not run on localhost
//code does not run on dedicated server

if(isDedicated)then{
//code runs on dedicated server

//code does not run on client
//code does not run on localhost
};

if(isDedicated)exitwith{};
//code runs on client
//code runs on localhost

//code does not run on dedicated server

So witch one should i be using ? if(isDedicated)then{ ?

[KiloSwiss 16]

Maybe my examples were not clear enough:

Any code after "if(isDedicated)then{" will only run on a Dedicated Server, not on any client (player sitting at home) and also not when hosting the mission locally!

Let's have a look at the last picture You uploaded.

I assume that You want to execute these Scripts on the client and also when You are locally testing the Mission, then take this code:

if(!isDedicated)then{
//YOUR
//STUFF
//HERE
};

:O It worked thanks man for so long i thought it was the script broken then i noticed it wasnt the only script not wanting to run but this fixed the problem i appreciate it KILO

Hmm, this script looks extremely familiar

If you would have copied it out of my mission correctly you would have seen how it needed to be executed properly to work.

Wow this is hilarious..

[opusfmspol 282]

[deleted] admin can remove, wasn't proper. But Gamerz971hd is right, looks familiar. Credit should be given when and where credit is due.

Looks familiar? This politenes thingy might look like a good idea from distance, but up close its just another road to hell. See heretic? Burn Heretic!!!!

Dont be afraid of offending people. If people get ofended with what you said about them, then you most probably just said truth about them, and truth has to be sayd.
