Mission scripts on dedicated server and online gaming

[Brostrom.A | Evul 35]

Hello I've trying to make a script that actually work on a dedicated server but the script does not launch.

 

Is there a way to make a script look if it is a dedicated server and then add a loadout to a unit without running the risk of not launching it or re adding the gear each time people join?

 

Here is the script i'm working on:

 

it suppose to have more then one kind of unit type.

 

initUnit.sqf

// null = [this, "MILITARY"] execVM 'Terrorists\initUnit.sqf';
// null = [this, "POLICE"] execVM 'Terrorists\initUnit.sqf';

if (! isServer) exitWith {};

_unit = _this select 0;
_type = _this select 1;

switch(_type) do {
	case "MILITARY" : {
		[_unit] execVM 'Terrorists\initUnit_MILITARY.sqf';
	};
	case "POLICE" : {
		[_unit] execVM 'Terrorists\initUnit_POLICE.sqf';
	};
};

 

initUnit_MILITARY.sqf

if (! isServer) exitWith {};

_unit = _this select 0;

if (typeOf _unit == 'I_Soldier_SL_F' ) then {
	null = [_unit] execVM 'Terrorists\Units\GEAR_TO_SL.sqf';
};

GEAR_TO_SL.sqf

waitUntil {!isNull player};
_unit = _this select 0;

removeAllWeapons _unit;
removeAllItems _unit;
removeAllAssignedItems _unit;
removeUniform _unit;
removeVest _unit;
removeBackpack _unit;
removeHeadgear _unit;
removeGoggles _unit;

_unit addHeadgear "H_HelmetB";
_unit addGoggles "G_Tactical_Black";

_unit forceAddUniform "U_B_CTRG_1";
	_unit addItemToUniform "ACE_MapTools";
	_unit addItemToUniform "ACE_EarBuds";
	_unit addItemToUniform "ACE_Morphine";
	for "_i" from 1 to 2 do {_unit addItemToUniform "ACE_CableTie";};
	for "_i" from 1 to 2 do {_unit addItemToUniform "ACE_fieldDressing";};
	for "_i" from 1 to 2 do {_unit addItemToUniform "Chemlight_red";};
	for "_i" from 1 to 2 do {_unit addItemToUniform "Chemlight_blue";};
	for "_i" from 1 to 2 do {_unit addItemToUniform "Chemlight_green";};


_unit addVest "V_PlateCarrier1_blk";
	_unit addItemToVest "SmokeShell";
	_unit addItemToVest "SmokeShellGreen";
	for "_i" from 1 to 2 do {_unit addItemToVest "HandGrenade";};
	for "_i" from 1 to 8 do {_unit addItemToVest "20Rnd_762x51_Mag";};
	for "_i" from 1 to 2 do {_unit addItemToVest "rhs_mag_9x19_17";};

_unit addWeapon "srifle_DMR_03_F";
_unit addPrimaryWeaponItem "optic_Hamr";
_unit addPrimaryWeaponItem "acc_pointer_IR";

_unit addWeapon "rhs_weap_pya";
_unit addWeapon "Laserdesignator";
	_unit addItemToUniform "Laserbatteries";

_unit linkItem "ItemMap";
_unit linkItem "ItemCompass";
_unit linkItem "ItemWatch";
_unit linkItem "tf_anprc154";
_unit linkItem "ItemcTab";
_unit linkItem "rhsusf_ANPVS_14";

_unit setObjectTextureGlobal [0, "Terrorists\data\uniform\CAV_U_TerrorUniform1_TO.paa"];

How are you calling the script?
 
Word of advice, always 'private' your local vars, e.g.:

if (!isServer) exitWith {};
 
params ["_unit","_type"];
 
switch (_type) do {
	case "MILITARY" : {[_unit] execVM 'Terrorists\initUnit_MILITARY.sqf';};
	case "POLICE" : {[_unit] execVM 'Terrorists\initUnit_POLICE.sqf';};
};

The GEAR_TO_SL.sqf  script is executed by the server but the script itself checks for player. 

[Brostrom.A | Evul 35]

They are called (currently) in the init line of the soldier

null = [this, "MILITARY"] execVM 'Terrorists\initUnit.sqf';

So should i change GEAR_TO_SL or should i change the other scripts?
 
EDIT:
I have made a trigger that launches the script now and change all the scripts so it uses:

waitUntil {!isNull player};

This resulted in the uniform to be changed but no other stuff in the GEAR_TO_SL.sqf was touched meaning that no equipment except for the uniform is changed.
 
EDIT2:
I have had a little bit of a progress using the trigger script activation:

waitUntil {!isNull player};
_unit = _this select 0;

removeAllWeapons _unit;
removeAllItems _unit;
removeAllAssignedItems _unit;
removeUniform _unit;
removeVest _unit;
removeBackpackGlobal _unit;
removeHeadgear _unit;
removeGoggles _unit;

_unit addHeadgear "H_HelmetB";
_unit addGoggles "rhs_googles_clear";

_unit forceAddUniform "U_B_CTRG_1";
_unit setObjectTextureGlobal [0, "Terrorists\data\uniform\CAV_U_TerrorUniform1_TO.paa"]; 

    _unit addItemToUniform "ACE_MapTools";
    _unit addItemToUniform "ACE_EarPlugs";
    _unit addItemToUniform "ACE_Morphine";
    {_unit addItemToUniform "ACE_CableTie"} foreach [1];
    {_unit addItem "ACE_fieldDressing"} foreach [1,2];
    {_unit addMagazineGlobal "Chemlight_red"} foreach [1,2];
    {_unit addMagazineGlobal "Chemlight_green"} foreach [1,2];
    
_unit addVest "V_PlateCarrier1_blk";
    _unit addItemToVest "SmokeShell";
    _unit addItemToVest "SmokeShellGreen";
    {_unit addMagazineGlobal "20Rnd_762x51_Mag"} foreach [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8];
    {_unit addMagazineGlobal "rhs_mag_9x19_17"} foreach [1,2];
    {_unit addMagazineGlobal "HandGrenade"} foreach [1,2];

    
_unit addWeaponGlobal "srifle_DMR_03_F";
_unit addPrimaryWeaponItem "optic_ACO_grn";
_unit addPrimaryWeaponItem "acc_pointer_IR";

_unit addWeaponGlobal "rhs_weap_pya";

_unit linkItem "ItemMap";
_unit linkItem "ItemCompass";
_unit linkItem "ItemWatch";
_unit linkItem "tf_anprc154";
_unit linkItem "ItemAndroid";
_unit linkItem "rhsusf_ANPVS_14";

The thing not being changed now is the weapons. They are note removed and they are not added. :(

EDIT3:

And now im totaly stuck on the weapon change part :/

 

This is the trigger onact i currently use:

{_handle = [_x, "MILITARY"] execVM 'Terrorists\initUnit.sqf';} foreach thislist

[Brostrom.A | Evul 35]

I've been trying to get this to work now for a while but failing miserable...

 

Is there a way to get weapons to change globally?

[whiztler 135]

Why globally?
 
Try: 

[_unit, "launch_B_Titan_F", 1, "Titan_AA"] call BIS_fnc_addWeapon

See: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_addWeapon for more informaiton

[Brostrom.A | Evul 35]

The weapon switches and switches back to there default one :/

// null = [this] execVM "Terrorists\Units\CAV_TO_R.sqf";

waitUntil {!isNull player};
_unit = _this select 0;

removeAllWeapons _unit;
removeAllItems _unit;
removeAllAssignedItems _unit;
removeUniform _unit;
removeVest _unit;
removeBackpackGlobal _unit;
removeHeadgear _unit;
removeGoggles _unit;

_unit addHeadgear "H_HelmetB";
_unit addGoggles "rhs_googles_clear";

_unit forceAddUniform "U_B_CTRG_1";
_unit setObjectTextureGlobal [0, "Terrorists\data\uniform\CAV_U_TerrorUniform1_TO.paa"];
    _unit addItemToUniform "ACE_MapTools";
    _unit addItemToUniform "ACE_EarPlugs";
    _unit addItemToUniform "ACE_Morphine";
    {_unit addItemToUniform "ACE_CableTie"} foreach [1];
    {_unit addItem "ACE_fieldDressing"} foreach [1,2];
    {_unit addMagazineGlobal "Chemlight_red"} foreach [1,2];
    {_unit addMagazineGlobal "Chemlight_green"} foreach [1,2];
    
_unit addVest "V_PlateCarrier1_blk";
    _unit addItemToVest "SmokeShell";
    _unit addItemToVest "SmokeShellGreen";
    //{_unit addMagazineGlobal "20Rnd_762x51_Mag"} foreach [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8];
    {_unit addMagazineGlobal "rhs_mag_9x19_17"} foreach [1,2];
    {_unit addMagazineGlobal "HandGrenade"} foreach [1,2];
    
//_unit addWeaponGlobal "srifle_DMR_03_F";
[_unit, "srifle_DMR_03_F", 1, "20Rnd_762x51_Mag"] call BIS_fnc_addWeapon;
_unit addPrimaryWeaponItem "optic_ACO_grn";
_unit addPrimaryWeaponItem "acc_pointer_IR";

_unit addWeaponGlobal "rhs_weap_pya";

_unit linkItem "ItemMap";
_unit linkItem "ItemCompass";
_unit linkItem "ItemWatch";
_unit linkItem "tf_anprc154";
_unit linkItem "ItemAndroid";
_unit linkItem "rhsusf_ANPVS_14";

Try replace this 

null = [this, "MILITARY"] execVM 'Terrorists\initUnit.sqf';

with 
 

0 = [this, "MILITARY"] call compilefinal preprocessfilelinenumbers 'Terrorists\initUnit.sqf';

execvm shouldnt be used in unit init since it runs script throught scheduler.

 

Also replace 

waitUntil {!isNull player};

in loadout file with 

if (!local(_this select 0)) exitwith {};

Or you will have problems in multiplayer. And loadout script should not have any sleeps and waituntils
