Showmap only one player

[ffak 0]

I've got a 4 human players rifle squad.

I want showmap true for only 1 player, the others showmap false

Is it possible?

thx!

This disables map from everyone else except unit named mapDude:

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

~0.1

if (player == mapDude) then {showmap true;} else {showmap false;}

<span id='postcolor'>

run this at mission startup, for example from init.sqs

and if I want to custom that, is that code correct?

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">~0.1

if ((player == mapDude) hasweapon "M16") then {showmap true;} else {showmap false;}<span id='postcolor'>

it's working fine but the map is blinking..    (because I put showmap=0 in description.ext for starting showmap false)

If your map is blinking then you must be looping the line constantly. To test, before the ~0.1 put 'Player sidechat "map decision"'

see how often you see that come up.

Hmm.. I don see why it should blink... why did you move the ~0.1 to below the if statement? It shouldn't work at all like that (The delay is there so it gets ran just after the mission is launched, not during briefing after which the map settings seem to get reseted)

I must loop the script to check often hif statement have changed (if one player took M16 since mission start)

let's say I've got 3 players, I setup something like that (with showmap=0 in description.ext

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

#scan

~0.1

if ((player == player1) and (player1 hasweapon "M16")) then {showmap true;} else {showmap false;}

if ((player == player2) and (player2 hasweapon "M16")) then {showmap true;} else {showmap false;}

if ((player == player3) and (player3 hasweapon "M16")) then {showmap true;} else {showmap false;}

goto "scan"<span id='postcolor'>

How about you make a script like this:

mapMonitor.sqs

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

_player = _this

?(_player != Player):exit;

?(_player hasweapon "M16"):showmap true;goto "SHOWN";

showmap false;

#NOT_SHOWN

@(_player hasweapon "M16")

showmap true;

#SHOWN

@!(_player hasweapon "M16")

showmap false;

goto "NOT_SHOWN";<span id='postcolor'>

Call the script from a players init: this exec "mapMonitor.sqs"

there isn't loop in your script, it check one time and it's gone am I wrong?

Check @ command in scripting reference. It waits for condition to be true.

There is a loop. See the last line of script.

Seul le porteur d'une arme donnée a la carte visible. Les autres non.

Only the choosen weapon carrier has showmap true.The other players' not.

What are you working on, an OICW weapon system type mission?

A 'nam type mission

only the radio (sebprc25) carrier has the map...

In real life, each member of the rifle squad have not a map ..

Ok I found a way:

here is my scan script

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">#scan

~0.1

if ((player == ap1) and (ap1 hasweapon "sebprc25")) then {showmap true;} else {showmap false;}

if ((player == ap2) and (ap2 hasweapon "sebprc25")) then {showmap true;} else {showmap false;}

~10

goto "scan"<span id='postcolor'>

I tested it on multiplayer and its work fine... for player ap2 but not for player ap1 when ap1 is the host

I don't know why it's not working for the host....any suggestion?

(I didn't try on a dedicated server)

[Bart.Jan 0]

I have a similar problem. I have in init.sqs :

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

? cadetMode : showMap false

<span id='postcolor'>

and it shows map all the time regardless of difficulty.

I didn't try on a dedicated server too.

[bn880 5]

Bart, make sure to put a nice fat ~1 in the init.sqs, or call it from the init field of some unit on the map.

I figure the description.ext takes priority, if not than the default takes priority after the init has run...
