ambientAnim problem on a dedicated server

[canadian1337 17]

Long story short - BIS_fnc_ambientAnim works fine in a SP preview. The animation is played properly etc.
When I tried playing the mission on a dedicated server the same AI started to change their positions (teleport) by about 4-5 meters from their original place or sometimes just change the direction they had earlier faced.

 

An example of what happens:

Spoiler

Each medic should face the wounded.

 

The way I'm calling the ambientAnim:

this disableAI "ALL";

if (isServer) then { [[medic_anim,"KNEEL_TREAT", "FULL"],BIS_fnc_ambientAnim ] remoteExec ["call"] };

A lil bit of an update.

 

Tried to make a use of get/setPos and get/setDir. Only worked on 1 of the AI, the rest teleported :/.

I would not recommend to use ambient animations on a dedicated server. The function was never written for multiplayer.

 

Maybe this https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/192292-polpoxs-calm-animations-3/ 

works in multiplayer.

Thanks R3vo, will take a look into Polpox's code.

That has been my experience too, with the function.

 

According to @pierre MGI on the BI WIKI comments.. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_ambientAnim

if (local this) then {[this,"SIT2"] call BIS_fnc_ambientAnim} // OK, best way

I don't know if it works on a dedicated server, but pierre MGI says it works on a self hosted server, presumably for remote clients as well.

For some reason it didn't work for me in SP so I took the other option also listed by pierre.

His original code on the wiki has a syntax error, if that's what you mean - should be

local this

instead of

local [this]

 

if it didn't work despite that, then idk...

I fixed the syntax.
