Multiplyer addAction button

[Wait4Code 10]

Hi,
Sorry beforehand for my bad english : it is not my mother tongue.

I want to create en addAction button to load gear depending upon the player class.
below, what i already made :
Initfield for addAction :

this addAction ["Take Stuff","scripts\Stuff\initClasse.sqf",player];

File initClasse.sqf :

private ["_ply","_class"];
_ply = _this select 3;
_class = typeOf _ply;

switch (_class) do {
	case "B_soldier_exp_F":{null = [_ply] execVM "scripts\Stuff\Demo.sqf";};
	case "B_soldier_LAT_F":{null = [_ply] execVM "scripts\Stuff\AT4.sqf";};
	case "B_medic_F":{null = [_ply] execVM "scripts\Stuff\Medic.sqf";};
	case "B_soldier_AR_F":{null = [_ply] execVM "scripts\Stuff\Gunner.sqf";};
	case "B_soldier_AT_F":{null = [_ply] execVM "scripts\Stuff\ERYX.sqf";};
	default {hint "No Stuff for your class."};
};

When I try this on the preview, it works but when I setup it on the server, it always display the "No Stuff for your class." string.

 

Thanks for your help.

I have heavily commented the code to help you understand what is going on and have added debug lines which will help you track any issues.

Take note how I am using systemchat not hint.

This allows you to enter the chat mode and scroll up to see earlier messages.

I also added diag_log to the debug, so that it also dumps these debug lines to your rpt file.

Debugging is something you need to master to help you track why a script isn't working, you can find more information on debugging

Ok it works ! I modified your code a little bit (the addaction is not attached to a player but to a sign) and it works.

Thank you !
