execVM Multiple Times

[Flightcaptain93 0]

Hello :)

I have this type of code in one of my missions.

 

for "_i" from 1 to 100 do

{

    _nil = [_cs,_hpfirst,_hpsecond,_dest] execVM "scripts\carspawn.sqf";
    _number = floor (random 941) + 60;
    sleep _number;
    };

 

In the script different cars with a different amount of passengers are generated. They get waypoints etc. But i think does once the script startet twice it affect the other script. Is it possible to start the script multiple times without having any influence on each other?
I´m new into scripting.

Thanks guys.

Where's the question?

[Flightcaptain93 0]

This is the code of the carspawnscript. I have a roadblock with a bargate. If 1 car is standing infront of it the second car has to hold at an other spot. The car holds infront of the bargate and continues driving if the bargate is opend.

But if the second car spawn the first won´t continue after i open the gate...

Not sure why would you do this, your script is already running on server.

Yes, execVM starts a new scope so the scripts don't disrupt each other as long as you keep using purely local variables (starting with _).

[Flightcaptain93 0]

After i switchet the car variable to a local one. _car.

The variable _car is first called in my ray_traffic_fnc where the car is spawned... is it possible to give the information about _car into the part of the script after the ray_traffic_fnc?? because now i get the error that the variable _car is not defined...

 

 call ray_traffic_fnc;
            _driver = driver car;

Of course it is, just call the function with parameters: [param1, param2...] call ray_traffic_fnc; (in this case [_car] call ray_traffic_fnc) and define the parameter in the function with either _car = _this select 0 or params["_car"].

[Flightcaptain93 0]

okay i did this but i get still the error that _car is not defined in the line after the ray_traffic_fnc;

 

[_car] call ray_traffic_fnc;  //here the _car is spawned and get the information from the car

_driver = driver _car;  /// <---- here is the script error that _car isnt defined...

Thanks it worked out :) yeah sorry I got a little bit of false understanding... english isnt my mother language. But it worked after i read it correctly :) thanks
