Newbie need help with creating global objects

[Eblonski 0]

Hi there. First of all sorry for my poor English.

So, i just started "scripting" things for Arma3 and i faced with problem of creating object by client globally. Basic idea was to build the bridge by holding button, but when i hosting a server i (the server )  can make my script work, but not friend of mine (client). 

With that problem i tried many different solutions like HideObject, then making it's "false" in the body of "holdAction".

Here is my code now, holdAction :

if (!isDedicated) then 
{
if (playerSide == west) then
{
[
    planks_s, // Object
    "Construct bridge", // Title
    "\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\holdAction_search_ca.paa", 
    "\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\holdAction_search_ca.paa", 
    "(_this distance _target < 5)", 
    "(_this distance _target < 5)", 
    {},
    {},
    { [] spawn {[] execVM "PlankSimple_S.sqf"}}, // Code executed on completion
    {},
    [],
    3, // how long
    0,
    true,
    false
] call BIS_fnc_holdActionAdd;
};
};

And here's my file "PlankSimple_S.sqf" :

if (isServer) then 
{
	_simpleObject_0 = createSimpleObject ['a3\structures_f_exp\civilian\accessories\plank_01_8m_f.p3d', [5613.273926,4128.347168,13.888593]];
	_simpleObject_0 setVectorDirAndUp [[-0.857715,-0.499353,-0.122361],[-0.114261,-0.0469019,0.992343]];
	_simpleObject_1 = createSimpleObject ['a3\structures_f_exp\civilian\accessories\plank_01_4m_f.p3d', [5618.109863,4131.231934,14.0554686]];
	_simpleObject_1 setVectorDirAndUp [[-0.84041,-0.514142,0.171377],[0.155349,0.0744123,0.985053]];
	_simpleObject_2 = createSimpleObject ['a3\structures_f_exp\civilian\accessories\plank_01_8m_f.p3d', [5608.121094,4125.246094,13.159078]];
	_simpleObject_2 setVectorDirAndUp [[-0.854349,-0.503035,-0.130551],[-0.151054,0,0.988526]];
};

So once again. I need to make it work globally on server to every client.

Thanks in advance. And once again, sorry for my English.

Why the isDedicated and isServer checks? Where are you calling those functions?

 

Cheers

Well i was thinking about make it work for not only one client by that.

i got "planks.sqf" file were holdAction written, then i just doing [] execVM "planks.sqf"; into "init.sqf".

PlankSimple_S.sqf must be everywhere. No matter who runs it. The effect is global (setVectorDirandUP should work also). Remove the if (isServer) cond.

On the other hand, there is no risk of duplication because your BIS_fnc_holdActionAdd runs locally on caller's PC.

you can simplify:

{ [] spawn {[] execVM "PlankSimple_S.sqf"}}

by

{ execVM "PlankSimple_S.sqf"}

It's worked ty so much!
