Tell Server to Run a Script from a Client

[DryFire117 0]

Hey all,

Here's my problem: I have a script that is attached to a client action called client.sqf that looks like this:

// THIS SCRIPT IS ON THE CLIENTS COMPUTER
// run the actual bomb arm script from the server
_obj = _this select 3 select 0;

if (_obj == obj1) then {
//THIS SHOULD EXECUTE armObj1.sqf ON THE SERVER
[[[player,_obj],"armObj1.sqf"],BIS_fnc_execVM] remoteExec ["call",2,false];
}; 

The issue is that this does nothing. I'm not sure how to let the client tell the server to execute this script. If I set the target argument of remoteExec to 0 it runs locally on my client but that's not what I'm trying to do here. Any ideas? Here's the flow of the situation: Client triggers action -> action calls client.sqf locally on client -> client.sqf tells server to execute armObj1.sqf from client machine -> server does execVm "armObj1.sqf"

may be that this works but i m not very familiar with remoteExec.
 
[_obj, {[player, _this] execVM "armObj1.sqf"}] remoteExec ["call", 2];
got it from Revos comment at wiki entry for remoteExec

Alternatively you can use addPublicVariableEventHandler on the server and on the client you can use publicVariableServer.

 

Server:

"armObj" addPublicVariableEventHandler {
    [_this select 1 select 0, _this select 1 select 1] execVM "armObj1.sqf";
};

Client:

armObj = [player, _this select 3 select 0];
publicVariableServer "armObj";

publicVariableServer "armObj";

Holy crap...this worked! Thanks a lot!

[[player,_obj],"armObj1.sqf"] remoteExec ["execVM",2];

[sarogahtyp 1105]

[[player,_obj],"armObj1.sqf"] remoteExec ["execVM",2];

 

 

I ll never learn it... I missed that in this case it goes to Server, not from...

[[player,_obj],"armObj1.sqf"] remoteExec ["execVM",2];

Well this was the first thing I tried and it wasn't working, but now it is. I love programming :) I'll probably stick with this.
