I have three files:

init.sqf

waitUntil {time > 5};
jobactive = false;
publicVariable "jobactive";

while {true} do 
{
hint "This Far";
jobSelect = floor(random 2);
publicVariable "jobSelect";

jobactive = true;
publicVariable "jobactive";

switch (jobSelect) do
{
	case 0: {execVM "jobs\susactivity.sqf";}; 
	case 1: {execVM "jobs\drugsden.sqf";};
};
hint format ["%1", jobactive];
waitUntil (!jobactive);
hint format ["After: %1", jobactive];
sleep 20;
};

susActivity.sqf

jobactive = true;
publicVariable "jobactive";
thisjob = true;
publicVariable "thisjob";
sleep 3;

_SMhint = "<t align='center'><t size='2.2'>CALL INCOMING...</t><br/><t size='1.5' color='#00B2EE'>Abandoned Vehicle</t><br/>____________________<br/>Caller has reported an abandoned vehicle. Please head to the area to investigate.</t>";
hint parsetext _SMhint;

_CompleteHint = "<t align='center'><t size='2.2'>JOB COMPLETED</t>>";

_polStationPos = getMarkerPos "polstationmarker";
_position = [_polstationpos, 150, 200, 3, 0, 20, 0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos;

//hint format ["Position: %1",_position];

sideObj = "C_Van_01_box_F" createVehicle _position;
sideobj lock true;
sideObj setDir random 360;
sideObj addAction ["Recover Vehicle", {hint "Recovering vehicle"; sleep 3; deleteVehicle (_this select 0); thisjob = false; publicVariable "thisjob";}];

jobMarker = createMarker ["jobMarker", position player];
"jobMarker" setmarkerpos (position sideobj);
"jobMarker" setmarkertext "Abandoned Vehicle";
"jobMarker" setmarkercolor "ColorRed";
"jobMarker" setMarkerAlpha 1;
"jobMarker" setmarkerType "hd_dot";

_job = player createSimpleTask ["Suspicious Activity"];

_job setSimpleTaskDescription ["Respond to area an investigate for suspcious activity.","Active Job",""];
_job setTaskState "Assigned";

player setCurrentTask _job;

waitUntil {!thisjob};
deleteMarker jobmarker;
_job setTaskState "Succeeded";
hint parsetext _completehint;
jobactive = false;
publicVariable "jobactive";

and drugsden.sqf

jobactive = true;
publicVariable "jobactive";
_CSites =["CSite1", "CSite2", "CSite3", "CSite4", "CSite5", "CSite6", "CSite7", "CSite8", "CSite9", "CSite10"];
sleep 3;


_CompleteHint = "<t align='center'><t size='2.2'>DRUGS DEN CLEARED</t>>";

_SMhint = "<t align='center'><t size='2.2'>CALL INCOMING...</t><br/><t size='1.5' color='#00B2EE'>Possible Drugs Den</t><br/>____________________<br/>Intel suggests the presence of a Drugs den in this area.

hint parsetext _SMhint;

_Pos = _CSites select random 10;
DenPos = [getMarkerPos _pos, 1, 25, 3, 0, 20, 0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos;

criminalCar = "max_robbers_suv" createVehicle denPos;
criminalCar lock true;
criminalGroup = [DenPos, EAST, ["max_robber_light", "max_robber_light", "max_robber_light", "Max_robber"], [],[],[],[],[],180] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;
criminalBoss = "Max_robber_boss" createUnit [ DenPos, criminalGroup, "crimboss = this"];

jobMarker = createMarker ["jobMarker", position player];
"jobMarker" setmarkerpos (position CriminalCar);
"jobMarker" setmarkertext "Drugs Den";
"jobMarker" setmarkercolor "ColorRed";
"jobMarker" setMarkerAlpha 1;
"jobMarker" setmarkerType "hd_dot";

waitUntil {!alive crimBoss};
criminalCar addAction ["Recover Vehicle", {hint "Recovering vehicle"; sleep 3; deleteVehicle (_this select 0); jobactive = false; publicVariable "jobactive";}];
hint "Boss Dead, Recover the car";
waitUntil {!jobactive};
deleteMarker jobmarker;
_job setTaskState "Succeeded";
hint parsetext _completehint;
publicVariable "jobactive";

My intention is that the game launches, and it generates one of the jobs. When you clear it. It will then continue the loop and generate another random job. This did work briefly, however for some reason now, I cannot get the loop to resume after the first iteration. I'm not sure if I've just totally messed something up, but I'd appreciate it if someone would take a look.

Thanks,

Ryan

Since you are using publicvariable, I presume you are making a multiplayer mission. In that case, I would suggest not having every machine (server/host and each client) to do the jobselect random. It should be done by just one machine and then PV'd to others.

I'm very new to the world of multiplayer scripting, so I appreciate the advice, however I'm not sure how I would acheive what you mean? Could you provide a quick example? I've found it very hard to find any info about Multiplayer scripting! I suppose I could detect if the player is the host or if it's a dedicated server and then do the select before handing it off?

I haven't opened Arma or scripted in 2 years. Thus, there might be some really simple mistakes.

It's happy to spawn one initial mission, and it will complete and display the hint, but it will not then spawn another mission. I think it might be something to do with the thread not having visibility of the updated variable? Is there a command you need to use in threading to pull the latest version of a variable? I saw something in some documentation about the threads not having access to variables in the same scope as it, but they can view global variables.

Well, I actually started up the game just for you! ;)

I changed it so that it will not have a possibility to assign the same task multiple times.

It is important to keep in mind that the job script is run on each machine. That means, for example, when you spawn stuff (createvehicle), you will create server + count of clients times the object. To avoid that, these commands need to put into a if isserver check within the job script.

Ah! Thank you! your help is greatly appreciated, the documentation, particularly around threading and multiplayer scripting is patchy at best!

I see, so if I were to run this job mutiplayer with say 10 players, I'd end up with 10 abandoned vehicles?

Yes, unless the behaviour of createVehicle has been altered in the past 1-2 years.
