Issues with MP Scripting. Calling a sqf to other player

[uncreatedlemon 13]

Hey all, 

 

Having a little bit of an issue with a script i'm trying to make, purpose is for an officer to be able to open up a dialog that the player he's looking at can interact with. I can get it to work for when it's locally hosted on my pc, but not on my dedicated server...does anyone have any particular ideas why this may be?

 

//setting the variables...
_playerid = getPlayerUID Player;
_Lemon = ["myidishere"]; //Lemon
_OfficerRanks = ["Second Lieutenant","First Lieutenant","Captain","Major","Colonel"];
_getRank = ProfileNameSpace getVariable "playerRank";

	
if (_playerid in _Lemon) then {
	ProfileNameSpace setVariable ["playerRank","Colonel"];
	Player setRank "Colonel";
	ProfileNameSpace setVariable ["PlayerFaction","US Army"];
	saveProfileNameSpace;
	SystemChat "Welcome back Colonel";
};

if (_getRank in _OfficerRanks) then {
	player addAction ["Faction Chooser",{Recruit = cursorObject;["Join_Faction","CreateDialog","Recruit"] Call BIS_fnc_MP;},"",0,false,false,"",'(alive player) AND (cursorObject isKindOf "Man") AND (alive cursorObject) AND (player distance cursorObject < 2) AND !dialog'];
	player addAction ["Demote Soldier",{Soldier = cursorObject;["Demotion.sqf","BIS_fnc_execVM","Soldier"] Call BIS_fnc_MP;},"",0,false,false,"",'(alive player) AND (cursorObject isKindOf "Man") AND (alive cursorObject) AND (player distance cursorObject < 2) AND !dialog'];
	player addAction ["Promote Soldier",{Soldier = cursorObject;["Promotion.sqf","BIS_fnc_execVM","Soldier"] Call BIS_fnc_MP;},"",0,false,false,"",'(alive player) AND (cursorObject isKindOf "Man") AND (alive cursorObject) AND (player distance cursorObject < 2) AND !dialog'];
};

No idea.

What faulty behaviour are you seeing on a dedicated server? Details! 

How are you executing what you provided so far?

What are the contents of the scripts being called clientside?

[uncreatedlemon 13]

mybad, wasn't sure what was needed;

 

faulty behaviour: Whilst the addaction shows for the officer, nothing is happening to the target client (should open dialog or give a hint message, neither happen). On non dedicated environment, this works fine.

Executing Method: we have tried it by executing it in "initPlayerLocal.sqf" and "initPlayerServer.sqf". 

Contents of scripts: 

 

Demotion.sqf

_getRank = profileNameSpace getVariable "playerRank";
_getFaction = ProfileNameSpace getVariable "playerFaction";

//Promoting the soldier we are looking at
if (_getFaction == "US Army") then {
ArmyRankID = ArmyRankID - 1;
execVM "CheckRank.sqf";
hint Format ["You were demoted to %1!",ArmyRank];
ProfileNameSpace setVariable ["playerRank",ArmyRank];
SaveProfileNamespace;
};

if (_getFaction == "US Aviation") then {
AirRankID = AirRankID - 1;
execVM "CheckRank.sqf";
hint Format ["You were demoted to %1!",AirRank];
ProfileNameSpace setVariable ["playerRank",AirRank];
SaveProfileNamespace;
};

if (_getFaction == "US Marine Corps") then {
MarineRankID = MarineRankID - 1;
execVM "CheckRank.sqf";
hint Format ["You were demoted to %1!",MarineRank];
ProfileNameSpace setVariable ["playerRank",MarineRank];
SaveProfileNamespace;
};

I think you need a remotexec to do that.

I saw that page about remoteExec, i'll be honest, it's completely confusing me. Any possibility of an example would be amazing, if not i'll continue playing around with it! Appreciate the response btw

 

edit: Gonna give this a try ; "Join_Faction" remoteExec ["CreateDialog","Recruit"];
