pierremgi 4737 Posted March 11, 2018 Your addMissionEventHandler must run on every PC. Consider your bis_fnc_dynamictext as an HUD, so local. You don't need to publicVariable anything because all Pcs have the same Event. Remove all comments in your EH code. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First , you are saying maybe about the question in the main topic of the script? https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/206593-headshot-killfeed-script/?page=2&tab=comments#comment-3275573 Because , i made also another , different question in the main topic , that has to do with EventHandler , but there is no EventHandler in the code above. I also post this question seperate , to avoid misunderstanding with the main topic question. The problem , is that the others players don't get the notification , in the message center screen above. So far only the killfeed on systemchat is showing in global. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But perhaps, i'm lost in all your lines, commented or not. Your error message comes from Bis_fnc_dynamicText, and as far I understood, It's embedded inside this MEH. Anyway, there are suspensions for script (sleep , waitUntil) inside this function. It should be spawned. So try with something like: ["<t size='0.6' align='right' with %4 >" + format ["%1 Killed <t color='%2'> %3 <t color='#FFD700'> from %4 m with <t color='#FF0000'> %5</t>",name player,_victimName,floor _distance,_killweapon,"systemChat"] + "</t>",safeZoneX,safeZoneY,10,0,0,7016] spawn bis_fnc_dynamicText; 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davidoss 550 Posted March 11, 2018 Here you have an example: if (isServer) then { addMissionEventHandler ["EntityKilled", { params [["_killed",objNull,[objNull]],["_killer",objNull,[objNull]],["_instigator",objNull,[objNull]]]; if (isNull _instigator) then {_instigator = UAVControl vehicle _killer select 0}; if (isNull _instigator) then {_instigator = _killer}; 0 = [ [name _killed, name _instigator], {systemChat format ["%1 was killed by %2",_this select 0,_this select 1]} ] remoteExecCall ["call", [0,-2] select isDedicated, false]; }]; }; 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pierremgi 4737 Posted March 12, 2018 You definitely don't need to remoteExec or bis_fnc_MP it. Why? You just want to keep players informed of who killed who. So, If you place the MEH on server only, the code will run... on server only. So, yes, you need to remoteExec / bis_fnc_MP something to be displayed on each screen. That's network resource demanding for nuts. If you place the MEH in init.sqf for instance, your code (event then local code) will run on each PC. The MEH can be truly supported locally. So, as victim and killer are same for everyone, there is no reason at all to have an exchange of data between the server and all the clients for that. Just let the MEH triggers locally and that's roll without any problem, like any hint or HUD display or local thing. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pierremgi 4737 Posted July 4, 2019 Erfff! George, I'm not sure to understand why you remoteExec some HUD code + the EH "killed" script by its own... You just have to run the "MPKilled" MP EH in initPlayerLocal.sqf, or even the Mission EH "entityKilled" in init.sqf. Did you try to let all the stuff local? The only things which should be broadcast are the shared data (kill counts, by publicVariable) if you feel there can be some differences between PC). for the rest... why do you want to broadcast what PCs are able to do locally? Btw, if (!local player) exitWith {}; is just a waste of code. Player is always local,... AFAIK. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you Pierre ! To be honest , now that i'm looking at the script , i do realize it ! I have written a lot of code so far , but everyday i see that there is something new to learn , reading the forum and wiki and i have notice a lot of bad coding in my scripts ! It's not also that easy to update everything , i would do this if i had the time though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
