[BUG] Callsign Attribute (GroupID) attribute isn't set on clients

[snippers 36]

The callsign attribute in the eden editor is not synced to clients. It exists on the server but clients do not receive the group ID.

 

Steps to reproduce:

- Create a mission with a player and set the group callsign to 'test'

- Upload mission to a dedicated server

- Join dedicated server and slot as player

- In the variable watch in the debug console type -> groupID (group player)

- The groupID will not be 'test'

 

As a note on fixing this, there is a setGroupIDGlobal script command but I believe this doesn't work during init. Similarly to how setVariable (with broadcast set to true) on a group during init doesn't get broadcast to clients.

 

As a side note this is an example of where having an option to enable global execution of custom attributes would be great.

can confirm this. only works in sp or lan(host).

 

as a workaround i am using this:

group1=group this;   //in units (groupleader) init  or in init.sqf with unitvariable instead of this
group1 setGroupId ["YourCallsign"]; //in init.sqf
