Problem with globality of KeyPressed

[Goro 21]

Hello, fellas. I've got an uncommon problem. I'm trying to get my flashlight script to work. Everything is great, but players can switch someone's else flashlight on/off. This is the globality problem. I've tried Replacing _this with units' name or units' group, but no success so far. Any guesses?

 

DisableSerialization; waituntil {!(IsNull (findDisplay 46))};   


keyDown = (findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", "if (_this select 1 == 37) then {p1 execVM 'ON1.sqf'}"]; 
waituntil {!(IsNull (findDisplay 46))};   


keyDown = (findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", "if (_this select 1 == 38) then {p1 execVM 'OFF1.sqf'}"]; 


 waituntil {!(IsNull (findDisplay 46))};   


keyDown = (findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", "if (_this select 1 == 24) then {p2 execVM 'ON2.sqf'}"]; 
waituntil {!(IsNull (findDisplay 46))};   


keyDown = (findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", "if (_this select 1 == 25) then {p2 execVM 'OFF2.sqf'}"];

You can just use variable 'player' in the scope of a keyDown EH:

keyDown = (findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", "if (_this select 1 == 37) then {player execVM 'ON1.sqf'}"]; 

And you really only need one waitUntil loop, and the other issue that may be causing your other player to turn the light on/off is that any player coming in would get 4 key down eventhandlers (for each key bind), so you may want to have a name/guid check, i.e.:

if (name player == "John Smith") then
{
    //add keybinds
};

if (name player == "Jane Doe") then
{
    //add keybinds
};
