So I am making plans on using the BIS_fnc_playVideo function and I am wondering if it is MP compatible. I tried searching for the answer to no avail and I cannot test it myself at this time so,

 

is it MP compatible and if not how can I make it? 

and in general are such functions MP compatible?

 

The BIS_fnc_ambientAnim one is. I have tested that one.

I have also tried implementing the BIS_fnc_MP to be sure and not have to ask but it reported an error.  

 

So any help will be appreciated..

Hello there John  !

 

Try to run in the init an  .ogv video

2 cutText ["", "BLACK OUT"]; 
sleep 1; 
_video = ["intro.ogv"] spawn bis_fnc_playVideo; 
waitUntil {scriptDone _video}; 
sleep 1; 
4 cutText ["", "BLACK IN"]; 

This should be MP compatible , for intro.

Otherwise you should remoteExec it.

use remoteExec, not bis_fnc_mp. the playVideo command is local so it needs to be remoteExec for others to see if

Dang the wiki has no example. So I am partly guessing that I have to place this in the script:

 

remoteExec [[_video, [10, 10]] call BIS_fnc_playVideo;];

 

But there is also an addition to the description.ext in the wiki so I got confused. 

Anyways if that is not it please tell me how to. Logically speaking I will know how to use remoteExec afterwards. The basics at least.

Thank you very much!

In the [""] I will place the .ovg video location and it should work in MP dedicated or not I suppose.

Is there any other game where the same scipt caused three different results in my three tests?

 

Why doesn't this one:
 

["TV\Youtube\Videos\action1.ogv"] remoteExec ["BIS_fnc_playVideo", [10,10] select isDedicated, false];

have the same effect with this one:
 

["TV\Youtube\Videos\action1.ogv",[10,10]] spawn bis_fnc_playvideo; [/code]

I am trying to make this script: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=29895

//The owner allows me to: You can use this script as you want and edit it, but leave credit.

MP compatible but using the above made the video show in the whole screen at first and after changing the numbers to [10,10] the video:

 

1.] Got stuck in the first try.

2.] Was shown as an image in the second try.

3.] Showed another image in the third try.

 

Guys it is really important for me to make this one work so if anyone can help please do. Just one video to be shown in one tv. That is it.

 

EDIT: I have erased the [/code] because it showed an error and it kept working after the erase.

Yeah, didn't look at the arguments. I just copied it from your post. You didn't have that in the remoteExec line. Thought you didn't know how to add it.
