setdamage on object globally, dedicated server?

[guttersnipe 1]

Im trying to destroy an object (hedge) via a setdamage=1 in trigger activation field. Works fine until I put it on a dedicated server. I've tried using the 'server' only checkbox in the trigger or without it, but the object's state isn't being transmitted to all clients. Can I do this without using a .sqf via a remoteExec command?

 

I've looked but I'm not certain how to add my command into the BI format?

 

// someScriptCommand; 

 

remoteExec ["someScriptCommand", targets, JIP];

 

?

 

thx

setDamage is AG EG (argument global, effect global) So, you don't have to remote exec it.

check your trigger activation instead. Probably not working with a player condition which has no sense on dedicated server.

trigger was  "player present" correct ? thx

Avoid player reference on dedicated (server only). So you don't have to make your trigger server only (or f you want to stay server side, use something like:

allPlayers findIf {_x inArea thisTrigger} > -1  in the condition field.

Second point:

 About your hedge: spawned or edited? are you sure your hedge is defined on each client? how do you select it?

however the trigger (which is server side) needs only one player to activate, and indeed is definitely being fired as I am also using it to trigger a hint which displays normally. I'll try with SIDE only instead tho.

 

Re:hedge - I'm using an editor placed object (named 'hedge') from the @FOW mod which all players have on our group. 

 

thx for your help

hmmm, working fine with vanilla 'small hedge' & BLUFOR present in condition. Odd thing is I tried this an hour ago & it didn't work. Have noticed that occasionally 'save' in editor removes last trigger set, must have been than?

 

ta for helping anyway.
