Help with making triggers executing globaly?

[Frenki 21]

Hello guys, i am curently making some PvP scenario wich we tested tonight but its not working properly becouse of triggers. Idea of scenario is to have "Object" wich needs to be secured spawning on different location, player of certain faction needs to be in "precondition" trigger around it and activate addAction "Secure Object", after it i will activate second trigger, called "condition" wich should initialize hint wich says "Object is secure, keep it for 30 minutes!" but it only appears for the guy who activated the action. "Condition" trigger is condition for next trigger called "present_x" (i have one for blufor and another for opfor) wich will activate with coundown of 30 minutes and in its init it will call for "end6" call BIS_fnc_endMission; wich in the end again is only executing for the guy whom activated first trigger, and it makes him go to lobby while we dont get any end.

 

Does anyone has idea where i am going wrong and why my triggers not run globaly on my dedicatet server?

"end6" remoteExec ["BIS_fnc_endMission", 0, true];

should work. i thought triggers executed globally? or maybe try running it just on the server and see. someone else will have a better reply.

Triggers are global unless you specify otherwise (scripted trigger). Editor placed are global only (I think, don't use Editor stuff).

See makeGlobal param.

There is also no need to remoteExec that function. See:

Its placed in editor, conditions are that blufor or opfor are present in area and that previous triggers are activated.

"Hello?" remoteExec ["hint", [0, -2] select isDedicated, false];

format ["Units in trigger: %1" count thislist] remoteExec ["hintSilent", [0, -2] select isDedicated, false];

Examples ^^

the true/false is if you want it to run on jip(join in progress) players, and the 0/-2 is what all you want it to run on, the wiki says this

Spoiler

 

targets (Optional): [default: 0 = everyone]

Number - Only 0 and 2 are special. When 0, the function or command will be executed globally, i.e. on the server and every connected client, including the one where remoteExec was originated. When 2, it will be executed only on the server. When 3, 4, 5...etc it will be executed on the client where clientOwner ID matches the given number. When number is negative, the effect is inverted. -2 means execute on every client but not the server. -12, for example, means execute on the server and every client, but not on the client where clientOwner ID is equal to 12.

Object - the function will be executed only where unit is local

String - the function will be executed only where object or group defined by the variable with passed name is local

Side - the function will be executed only on clients where the player is on the specified side

Group - the function will be executed only on clients where the player is in the specified group. In order to execute the function where group is local pass owner of the group as param: 
_myGroup remoteExec ["deleteGroup", groupOwner _myGroup];

Array - array of any of types listed above

 

so if its 0 it will run on every client in the server as well as on the server, -2 would run on every client but not the server, 2 would run only on the server, and any higher number such as 3 and above will run on whoever has the client id of the number you put in, and if you were to put -3 and your client id was 3, then it will run on everybodys client and the server, but not the persons client who has the client id of 3. make sense?

Yeah, pretty simple, and if i put for example -2 and i execute endMission command it will end it for players but aint for server?

for the end mission use BIS_fnc_endMissionServer like haz said and dont remoteExec it.

something seems off with your trigger, like its not working like its suppose to period. try just selecting server only in the trigger to run it on the server
