This script crashes dedicated server.

[akvadakar 21]

I wonder if anyone can find a bug in this code. It works in LAN server. Maybe the problem is when more players are present. IDK

I guess the crash is due to a non existent variable which the server wants to reach. It has nothing to do with dedh.sqs, vehic.sqs AFAIK.

I don't really know if what I'm going to tell You is right, because I've never got myself into advanced scripting, but IMHO the answer lies in the very first line of code:

? not local server : exit

AFAIK dedicated server is not local server. So, that first line checks if server is dedicated, and if it is, script stops. That makes me think that script uses some global variable, and these don't work on dedicated servers, unless You'd use Chain of Command Network Services.

But that's all I know, and I could be wrong.

I was wrong

@krzy: I'm afraid that's not correct. Local in that case refers to the scope of the server object, which is quite likely a game logic placed in the editor named "server". Logics are only managed by the server, same as with the AI. This script (all scripts, actually) are executed by default in all connected machines, be it the server or clients. By checking if the "server" logic is local before executing the rest of the script we can then know if the requester is the server or a client. If it's a client (if the "server" logic is not local to that machine), then we kill the script (exit).

@ Akvadakar: Hard to tell, but my bet is that you're trying to deletevehicle too fast for a dedicated server. Try increasing the wait time after #si, as all the deletevehicle requests end up looping up there.

Ha ha! Good to know then. :)
