Why does this script work in Eden/Singleplayer, but not on Dedicated Server?

[doctorbutts 15]

I am going to copy/paste a loadout script that is executed from initserver.sqf. The script is supposed to empty, and then place cargo items in empty vehicles/containers.

 

In Eden/Single, the script properly empties and fills with the desired cargo. Does not work when I try to play the mission from dedicated server.

_mrapsarr = [hunt1, hunt2, hunt3, hunt4];
_heliarr = [heli1];
_badveharr = [badcar1, badcar2, badcar3, badcar4];
_allveharr = [hunt1, hunt2, hunt3, hunt4, heli1, badcar1, badcar2, badcar3, badcar4];

//clearItemCargoGlobal [hunt1, hunt2, hunt3, hunt4, heli1, badcar1, badcar2, badcar3, badcar4];
{clearMagazineCargoGlobal _x} forEach _allveharr;

It is a syntax error about line 22

And you need to reduce the usage of foreach loop

_mrapsarr = [hunt1, hunt2, hunt3, hunt4];
_heliarr = [heli1];
_badveharr = [badcar1, badcar2, badcar3, badcar4];
_allveharr = [hunt1, hunt2, hunt3, hunt4, heli1, badcar1, badcar2, badcar3, badcar4];

{

    clearMagazineCargoGlobal _x;
    clearweaponcargoGlobal _x;
    clearItemCargoGlobal _x;
    
    if (vehicleVarname _x == heli1) then {
    
        _x addBackpackCargoGlobal ["B_OutdoorPack_blk",1];
        _x addItemCargoGlobal ["ToolKit", 1];
        _x addMagazineCargoGlobal ["rhsusf_mag_15Rnd_9x19_JHP", 4];
        _x addMagazineCargoGlobal ["rhs_mag_30Rnd_556x45_M855A1_Stanag", 4];
        _x addMagazineCargoGlobal ["ACE_HandFlare_Green", 8];
        _x addMagazineCargoGlobal ["Chemlight_green", 4];
        _x addMagazineCargoGlobal ["SmokeShellRed", 4];
        _x addMagazineCargoGlobal ["SmokeShell", 4];
        _x addItemCargoGlobal ["NVGoggles_OPFOR", 2];
    
    };

} forEach _allveharr;

Thanks for trying, but I have tried that script out, replaced everything with a c/p and it does not work in multi either.

There should be some helpful error info in the server's RPT file (found in root install directory for A3).  Post that to pastebin and link back here.

Try call it from init.sqf instead.

if (isServer) then {
    execVM ...
};

Look at this page: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Initialization_Order

It is possible that the order of initialization of initserver.sqf differs between SP and MP.

Good luck!

I found two mistakes inside. Once there is part of the code missing and once there is one bracket too much.
