animate not working globally

[gokitty1199 225]

to sum it up, i have literally 99% of the code running on the server only as the clients just trigger events for the server to handle. i have a hit event handler that gets applied to a target, when the target is hit twice, i use _Target animate ["terc", 1]; to drop the target. this is only going to run on the server, but animate is global. when i shoot the target(as the server) the target drops for me but nobody else, when a client shoots the target twice, it drops for me (the server) but nobody else and not even the client. i tried remoteexec it like so [_Target, ["terc", 1]] RemoteExec ["animate", 0, true]; just to see if that would solve my issue without any luck. any ideas? i just want the target to drop for all the clients

		_x AddEventHandler["Hit",
		{
			params ["_Target", "_Weapon", "_Damage", "_Shooter"];
			_SetShooter = _Target GetVariable "Shooter";
			_Active = _Target GetVariable "Active";
			_IsTargetDone = _Target GetVariable "Done";
			_Stage = _Target GetVariable "Stage";
			_Timer = _Target GetVariable "Timer";
			
			if (_Active && !_IsTargetDone && _SetShooter == _Shooter) then
			{
				_HitCount = _Target GetVariable "HitCount";
				_HitCount = _HitCount + 1;
				_Target SetVariable ["HitCount", _HitCount];
				
				if (_HitCount >= 2) then
				{
					[_Target, ["terc", 1]] RemoteExec ["animate", 0, true];
					//_Target animate ["terc", 1];
					_Target SetVariable ["Done", true];
					_TargetsDone = _Timer GetVariable "TargetsDone";
					_TargetsDone = _TargetsDone + 1;
					_Timer SetVariable ["TargetsDone", _TargetsDone];
				};
			};
			
			_IsTargetDone = _Target GetVariable "Done";
			if (_IsTargetDone && _Active) then
			{
				_Target SetVariable ["Active", false];
				_TargetsDone = _Timer GetVariable "TargetsDone";
				_TargetCount = _Timer GetVariable "TargetCount";
				[format["%1 Eliminated %2/%3 Targets", name _SetShooter, _TargetsDone, _TargetCount]] call HintToEveryone;
			};
		}];

Try using an MPHit EH (with addMPEventhandler command) and use animateSource instead animate and ditch the remoteExec.

From a quick glance at your snippet this might solve the issue.

will give that a try in a few hours, thanks for the suggestion!

this did not change anything. as a test (using mpeventhandler) i set it up so that the animatesource code would run on all clients (it prints out a hint on the clients where the animatesource line is so it is running) and it still only gets animated on the server. no matter what i do the target will not drop in multiplayer for some reason.

 

edit: found the problem, it was actually related to the target itself TargetBootcampHumanSimple_F. i was using these because they did not fold down when shot by default, but they could still be animated. when animating these targets via animate/animateSource, they are not animated globally, but when i switched the target for one that is suppose to fold down and come back up when shot, it worked perfectly and animateSource was working as intended.

 

edit: WELL APPARENTLY IT WONT ANIMATE FOR OTHER CLIENTS IF YOU HAVE ENABLED SIMULATION UNCHECKED
