[RESOLVED] problem with code executing on client in mp server from trigger

[eggbeast 3673]

this code has worked since A1, then all the way through A2, and into A3 for the past 18 months.

It failed a few weeks ago and i've not been able to fix it since.

 

It works in client running the mission, but as soon as i go on MP server, the servicing script fails - can anyone see what i'm doing wrong?

//pinit.sqf called on client contains this:
_cthread = [] execVM "scripts\MainThreadC.sqf";

//mainthreadC.sqf contains:
//THIS ROUTINE FAILS IN MP
EGG_EVO_Repair = 
{
	_vec = (vehicle player);
	_type = typeOf vehicle player;
	if !(_vec isKindOf "Man") then
	{ //not man
		if ( (getDammage _vec > 0) || (fuel _vec < 0.98) || (_vec isKindOf "staticweapon" and getDammage _vec > 0) ) then
		{ //damaged
			if ( (_vec in list AirportIn) || (_vec in list farp1) || (_vec in list reng1) || (_vec in list reng2) || (_vec in list reng3) || (_vec in list reng4) ) then 
			{ // in farp
				if ( (_vec != player) && (speed _vec > -2) && (speed _vec < 2) && (position _vec select 2 < 2) ) then //&& (local _vec)
				{ //stationary
					titleText [localize "STR_M04t83", "PLAIN DOWN",0.3];//Servicing - may work if stringtable same for A3
					for [{_loop2=0}, {_loop2<1}, {_loop2=_loop2}] do
					{
						sleep 0.2;
						if (getDammage _vec > 0) then {_vec setDamage((getDammage _vec)-0.0125)};
						if (Fuel _vec < 1) then {_vec setFuel ((Fuel _vec)+0.0125);};
						if (getDammage _vec == 0 and Fuel _vec == 1) then {_loop2=1;};
						if(_vec != vehicle player or speed _vec < -2 or speed _vec > 2 or position _vec select 2 > 2.0) then {_loop2=1;titleText [localize "STR_M04t84", "PLAIN DOWN",0.3];};//again stringtable may need looking at for A3
						_dam = (getDammage _vec)*100;
						_ful = (Fuel _vec)*100;
						hint format["Damage: %1\nFuel: %2",Round _dam,Round _ful];
					}; //repair loop
					_vec setVehicleAmmo 1;
				};//loop complete
				sleep 2;
			};//farp check
			sleep 2;
		};//damaged
		sleep 2;
	}; //vehicle
};

        };

could "list" be failing in MP?

Larrow: As of ["Arma 3","Arma3",152,132676,"Stable",true] this command is still broken if checking against markers that have axisB larger axisA. To get around this if needed you can create your marker with the largest radius in axisA and rotate your marker by 90degrees

 

aha!

				sizeA=200;
				sizeB=450;

nope that didn't fix it.  My trigger just doesn't want to work any more in a client script - can anyone see what i'm doing wrong?  it's something to do with  a recent A3 update, cos it works fine on the client, and used to work fine on the server...

Hi eggbeast, I too have noticed editor-placed triggers becoming unresponsive on dedicated server after the recent A3 update (among other things), so I suggest you try replacing editor triggers with script-created.

 

 

Hope this helps,

Yeah that's the one - thanks for putting my mind at rest.

This is why i left Arma 3 and stayed in Arma 2 for the last 2 years. 

I really didn't like the uncertainty when your mission in broken, that you have no idea if you broke something or BIS did, and back then 90% of the time, it was BIS. Now i'd say it is more like 30%, but still significant.

 

Let's hope they fix this soon as MP missions converted to Eden are absolutely unworkable at present.

BIS fixed it - thank the lord
