EventHanlder being triggered for everyone

[Col. Ben Sherman 3]

Hi there, I have a question when it comes to eventhandlers. As I'm currently trying to track peoples statistics such as shots fired, shots hit etc. But for some reason if my friend shots I get's his statistics on my player which I'm not 100% on how to fix.

 

This is the code right now

player addEventHandler ["Fired", {
  shotsfired = shotsfired + 1;
}];

I tested outputting the values into a hint format once the event is happening.

Where are you putting that code?

look at the top here https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addEventHandler

and the second last column in the table below on here https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Event_Handlers

 

when i was starting i was totally ignorant about these locality flags. they will save you a lot of headache and trial and error by simply telling you how commands and EHs behave in an MP environment. some EHs have detailed descriptions about it too, like "Hitpart"

Ops code is all local though, unless there is more that he has not shown us or he is adding those EH's in a global position like init.sqf or an obects init line.

Doesn't matter where it is added since it is added for the (always) local player, and the variable incremented is always the global variable on a single machine. This could only lead to multiple countings if added too many times. But, if you see the friends value, that would suggests the value is somehow being made public (e.g. using publicVariable) and overwriting it on other machines.

It's added once the database is loaded, so first time it's calling the database staff is from initPlayerLocal.sqf  and then when the callback is received it applies the EH's to the player I assume since it's done with "player addEventHandler", but it's its local only why is the EH giving my player other players stuff, or do I have to like add the EH for the server somehow and then check if like the source is the player and then make a call so that the player increases his counts?

 

I'm not really understanding the local part, like how would I make it so that it's done per player if that's the case. So that the player actually gets the correct data. I'm so confused. Like I don't know too much about arma scripting, only like the basics of it. I'm surprised I actually got the database going xD so the more info I get the more I'll understand it xD. Thanks for all the quick replies though.
