Setting variable on client from another client.

[DilllPickle 0]

Just a quick example of what I want to do.

 

Set a variable on an object example a car.

 

Car1 setVariable["PlayerSetName", player, true];

player setVariable["ThisIsACar", true, true];

 

Then once those are set, I want a different player/client to call another script that does this.

 

_Test1 = Car1 getVariable["PlayerSetName",0];

_Test1 setVariable["ThisIsACar", false, false];

 

The code only works for the client that called the script and has his own name set in the variable. If a different player calls the script it will not set for the other player, even though the other player does see the variable correctly. I've tried bis_fnc_mp, remoteExec, and setting a global variable, the other client sees all the variables but just can't set it for the other player.

You should not change variable data types.

 

I do not knew for sure what you want to achieve with this but:

 

car1 setVariable ["PlayerSetName", player, true];
player setVariable["ThisIsACar", true, true];

_earlier_player = car1 getVariable ["PlayerSetName", objNull];
if (!isNull _earlier_player) then {
_earlier_player  setVariable ["ThisIsACar", false, true];
};

I realized I messed something up in the code, I fixed it, but thanks for the reply.

 

EDIT: I realized I was putting false, false, instead of false, true so it wasn't global.

What do you intend to do with that?

Usually owner or groupOwner command does the trick.

Just messing around with some scripts for Exile, working on a hacking script, yea I know its probably bad to use those but I'm just messing around figuring out some stuff.
