Loadout / Equipment Issue.

[citazenman 10]

I have a small problem. I have a very complex mission that I have solved nearly every issue with, except this pesky one.

I have the players in the mission get placed in a C-130 with equipment for a HALO jump.(The AI just teleport to the team leader after everyone is on the ground.) I can't get the units to properly apply new equipment after all units are on the ground.

Here is the relavent parts of the init and equipment SQFs.(I omitted most of it for space.)

Init

execVM "initial_loadout.sqf";
seals = group unit1;

if (isServer) then {


if (isPlayer unit1) then {[unit1] execVM "loadouts\jumper.sqf"; unit1 moveInCargo c130;};
if (isPlayer unit2) then {[unit2] execVM "loadouts\jumper.sqf"; unit2 moveInCargo c130;};
if (isPlayer unit3) then {[unit3] execVM "loadouts\jumper.sqf"; unit3 moveInCargo c130;};
if (isPlayer unit4) then {[unit4] execVM "loadouts\jumper.sqf"; unit4 moveInCargo c130;};


ambushTrig = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", _spawnpos, true];
ambushTrig setTriggerArea [300, 300, 0, false];
ambushTrig setTriggerActivation ["WEST", "PRESENT", false];
ambushTrig setTriggerStatements ["this", "['You are in the drop zone. Go! Go! Go!','hint',true,false] call BIS_fnc_MP;", ""];



};


if (isServer) then {
sleep 10;
waitUntil {sleep 2; isTouchingGround unit1 AND isTouchingGround unit2 AND isTouchingGround unit3 AND isTouchingGround unit4}; //As weird as this is, it is not an issue
{if (!isPlayer _x) then {_x setpos getpos unit1}} forEach units seals;
sleep 0.5; 
[unit1] execVM "loadouts\lead.sqf";
sleep 0.2; // all this sleep is here out of my paranoia that the scripts could all be affecting each other. 
[unit2] execVM "loadouts\mark.sqf";
sleep 0.2;
[unit3] execVM "loadouts\breach.sqf";
sleep 0.2;
[unit4] execVM "loadouts\heavy.sqf";
sleep 0.2;

};

{if (!isPlayer _x) then {_x allowDamage false}} forEach units seals;

Thanks for taking the time to read and for any help you can give. I assume this is a locality issue because It works fine in SP. only certain aspects of the scripts fail.(backpacks,vest items, etc...)

Check out theaddWeaponGlobal (and similar) function, it lets you add items globally. Alternatively, I believe you can just call the script using Bis_fnc_mp, eg. "[[[unit1], ""loadouts\jumper.sqf""], "BIS_fnc_execVM", unit1] call BIS_fnc_MP" on the server for each player. This will run your script on each client, where the player is local, and remove the items.

Thanks I was wondering if BIS_fnc_mp would fix it, but I wasnt sure how to use it in this context.

works perfectly
