Artillery module synchronization problem

[dragonsyr 21]

i have problem in mp mission (dedicated server) with the arti module .

when a player respawn , then the synchronization with the module breaks .

how can i synch again the player with the module on respawn / rejoin?

with this i get nothing

SUPPORTREQUESTERNAME synchronizeObjectsAdd [uNITNAME]

thanks in advance

To cite the BIKI:

_acm = _groupLogic createUnit ["AmbientCombatManager",position player,[],0,"NONE"];
_acm synchronizeObjectsAdd [player];

I'm assuming that the left-hand side object has to be of type "AmbientCombatManager", having said that I don't know anything about object synchronization using this command.

this is the same problem from arma2 .. im not programmer , but is this so difficult to correct it??? (BIS)

is there some fix for this?

thanks again

Well, you can simply create an object of type "AmbientCombatManager":

_manager = (createGroup sideLogic) createVehicle ["AmbientCombatManager", getPosATL player, [], 0, "NONE"];

and with that you should be able to synchronize any desired unit:

_manager synchronizeObjectsAdd [player];

sorry for this , but i m not to good on programming

i need the group of my artillery that i have on the map (3 mortars and 3 cannons) and not virtual artillery

is this for non virtual artillery?

If your arty are already synced to the provider in the editor this will not change. The problem is the link between the player and the requester breaks on respawn/rejoin.

If you do a search in this forum for sync support and my name this has been covered several times.

Something like..

initPlayerLocal.sqf

_player = _this select 0;
[ _player, requester, provider ] call BIS_fnc_addSupportLink;


_player addEventHandler [ "respawn", {
_player = _this select 0;
[ _player, requester, provider ] call BIS_fnc_addSupportLink;
}];

Maybe enough to get it going, where requester and provider are the modules.

thank you Larrow ;)

i ll try with this asap.

I was just messing with synching modules but I also have an issue.

call BIS_fnc_addSupportLink; works great but how would you go about removing the sync.

You can use _player synchronizeObjectsRemove [requester, provider];

However it won't fully remove it until after the module has been used.

I did try using something like this which works when adding supports

add

 supportHeli = [_player,"Support_Request_CAS_Heli"] call  BIS_fnc_addCommMenuItem

remove

 supportHeli = [_player,"Support_Request_CAS_Heli"] call BIS_fnc_removeCommMenuItem; 

But it won't remove the one that is already setup in the module.

[Larrow 2823]

There is also a BIS_fnc_removeSupportLink.

[ requester, provider] call BIS_fnc_removeSupportLink;

Been a while since i actually read the support module script but i believe this is enough to desync.

Sorry, I seemingly don't get the topic here.

Talking about support modules Johnny.

Although they could be synced using synchronizeObjectsAdd the scripts sets BIS_supp_refresh = TRUE which causes the modules script to update its self.

It does things like checking support and providers synced to player, updating commMenu, refreshing players support calls remaining and making sure HQ and kb protocols are defined for radio transmissions etc

Thanks Larrow I never thought to look for the opposite function. I'll check later.

That worked thanks.
