script checking variable passed by eventhandler, correct me, how to?

[creartan 10]

MPeventhandler

_this addMPEventHandler ["MPRespawn","(_this select 0) execVM 'respawnscript.sqf'"];

respawnscript.sqf <<- problem is here; it seems it cannot do the variable check? "if (_this == variablezz)"

or what is the right way to do?

if (_this == variablezz) then
{
_this execVM "gearscript.sqf";
};

error..

gearscript.sqf

removeallweapons _this;
etc..

oh my..

is our variable transfered to the new unit, or not?

What is variablezz defined as?

[iceman77 19]

I guess? If variablezz is the unit the Eh is assigned to..

[creartan 10]

variablezz is the variable name tobe checked to the unit,

i want to check _this is, _this variable name is variablezz.

if (_this == variablezz) then..

if (_this == variableaa) then..

I would think that it should work, but you may still need to wait until the var name isn't null before using it (but that shouldn't be the case). Another thing to try is the isEqualTo command in place of the "==", not sure if that would solve it, but it's more effecient anyhow :p. You could also try a standard Respawn EH as well (I've personally never used the MP respawn EH).

ohya the basic knowledge,

is the variablename of the OLD unit get transfered to the NEW unit?

MPrespawn and respawn will it effect in multiplayer?

because im creating this for multiplayer

[jshock 513]

I do believe it does, but that variable name is null until that unit is respawned(after death of course), so I think it's just dependent on when the EH fires, before or after the new unit's variable name is intialized.

i just make a trial error, and i think the variable is left to the old unit,

but im not sure maybe until the old unit get deleted by deletevehicle this;

and how to prevent the creation of the new unit?

and the this setVariable ["BIS_enableRandomization", false];?? where to put it?

and how to prevent the creation of the new unit?

Turn off respawn?? Or what do you mean by that?

[creartan 10]

repsawn is on.

or maybe the problem is because of

changing the var ingame

Player setVehicleVarName "ranger";

ranger = Player;

ingame, and didnt get registered to the old respawnEH??

because when i use Editor varname it respawned with the same variable,

but when i use ingame by script

Player setVehicleVarName "ranger";

ranger = Player;

it will respawn with different variable;

and cannot intterract with action assigned to him

but when i try to change back to that variable "ranger", the variable "ranger" is unavailable

i dont know.. confused, is im doin wrong when changing variable?

Well if you can use player to set as ranger, you can just use player in whatever script your running, it's the same difference, no need to assign the player a variable name, as the variable player is already native for our use...

[dreadedentity 278]

Player setVehicleVarName "ranger";

This command does not do what you think it does
