AddAction glitchy

[wraithjuggler 0]

Hello. Here is my code:

zachBag = zach addAction ["Remove Gun From Bag", 
{  
removebackpack zach;
zach addWeapon "CUP_srifle_VSSVintorez";
}];

The problem is, everyone on the server when I play multiplayer sees this action when they hover over my character. How do I make it so this AddAction is only shown for myself, rather than having everyone able to do it to me?

Everyone sees it, because everyone is creating their own action. The way you are executing the addAction would be the problem here. A combination of http://killzonekid.com/arma-scripting-tutorials-locality/, https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addAction and https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Event_Scripts (initPlayerLocal.sqf) should get you going.

But I did AddAction just for that unit. I did it under the unit's init as well. Why shouldn't that work?

The above locality related suggestions are good.  But you might also solve it by adding a condition parameter within the addAction statement.  Maybe a condition of {player == zach} would restrict this action to only the dude named zach (if that is what you are trying to do).  See the extended syntax for addAction where you can specify a condition.

I'm fairly sure that anything executed through a unit's init in the editor gets executed for all clients. So every player would run that command. If you're having trouble understanding locality then johnnyboy's suggestion is a good one to help you get by, but if you're doing a bunch of MP editing you'll have to get your head around locality at some point.
