Exec an earthquake globally

[JGames Family 5]

I have put a "[3] call bis_fnc_earthquake;" on a script in the mission and put "execVM "EarthQuake.sqf"; " but when I exec it globally I only see it and if I exec server-side, nobody see it... any help so that everyone sees the camera shaking? Thanks.

I'm sure the script is executing cos I added ext and it does display the text.

The function must be executed on each client so I think you need to do it like this (run this code from the server):

 

// Tell all clients to call the bis_fnc_earthquake function
[3] remoteExec ["bis_fnc_earthquake",  ([0,-2] select isdedicated)  ];

So I ran that code in server execute and nothing happened at all...

[3] remoteExec ["BIS_fnc_earthquake"];

It seems to be the correct one...

ok so when I do it directly in the console (server execute) it does work, but in the script with execVM doesn't... what can it be? @gc8

are you running arma from the editor or maybe using dedicated server?

hows your execVM file looks like?

[JGames Family 5]

Running arma in a dedicated server. ExecVP is: execVM "EarthQuake.sqf";

EarthQuake.sqf is in the root folder of the mission (where description.ext etc) and the call is correct cos the text displays.

where are you calling this code from? init.sqf?

and what's the contents of that file being executed?

[JGames Family 5]

nope, I'm calling it from the game console. Ots executing just a text that works and the earthquake function.

Hmm , well it should be called from the server that's all I know. I think you need to click the "server exec"

[JGames Family 5]

Im clicking that one and nothing happens 😞

[JGames Family 5]

[1] remoteExec ["BIS_fnc_earthquake"]; 

works in server execute but when I do an execVM to the script that contains that in server execute it doesn't do anything 😞

hard to say whats going on without the actual code

[JGames Family 5]

Code

[gc8 909]

have you tried putting systemchat in the end of the file to make sure all the code is executed? also do you have error reporting on, to make sure there's no errors?

[JGames Family 5]

yeah, the formats do work so im completely sure the script executes... what is more, in global works but only for me not for the rest...

[JGames Family 5]

lol, think it's fixed.

@JGames Family Cool! What fixed it?

I'd love to know, for future projects with global execution of external scripts on dedicated servers.
