Problem with adding an item to inventory

[DarkBall123 39]

Hello, I need to randomly select any unit from the EAST side and give this unit a bomb (object).

 

There is a code (running from initServer)

_units = allUnits select {side _x == EAST};

_unit = selectRandom _units;
_unit addItem "UMI_Weed_Bale";
_unit setVariable['bombUnit', true, true];

But here is the problem, as I did not try, the bomb is always added to the player-server (no matter what side he is). We tested the mission on the host server. I will be grateful for any hint.

Where exactly are you running it from?

Do you mean initServer.sqf?

Is there a similar snippet running from a trigger or similar that might cause this?

Also try running this spawned with a time conditional to make sure it only runs with the mission already running:

_addBomb= [] spawn {
	waitUntil {time>1};
	waitUntil {count allUnits>=1};
	_units = allUnits select {side _x == EAST};
	_unit = selectRandom _units;
	_unit addItem "UMI_Weed_Bale";
	_unit setVariable['bombUnit', true, true];
};

Might not make a difference though, all I can think of without further detail, heh.

 

Cheers
