Directly target a command to a specific player

[fin_soldier 82]

For example, how would I go about targeting a cutText to the _caller of an addAction so it's visible only to the _caller,

or wanting to kill the player who walked into a trigger.

 

Thanks in advance! 🙂

It`s always different, I guess.

correct me if there are better options.

 

trigger:

(thisList select 0) setDamage 1

 

talking about the addAction. I don't think it's necessary to remoteExec it, as the code is executed locally.

But anyway, if you want to do it with something else:

 

//description.ext
class CfgFunctions {
  class JF {
    class Scripts {
      class cutText {file = "cutText.sqf"};
    };
  };
};

//cutText.sqf
params ["_text"];

cutText [format ["<t color='#ff0000' size='5'>%1</t><br/>***********", _text], "PLAIN", -1, true, true];

//objects init
this addAction 
[ 
 "cutText", 
 { 
  params ["_target", "_caller", "_actionId", "_arguments"]; 
  [name _caller] remoteExec ["JF_fnc_cutText", _caller];  
 }, 
 nil, 
 1.5, 
 true, 
 true, 
 "", 
 "true", 
 5, 
 false, 
 "", 
 "" 
];

addAction

This command is EL. That means the action (code) will run on the caller's PC only. There is no need the remoteExec on the caller only!

cutText is EL, so it's already perfect for displaying on the caller's PC.

That's what I tried to say. I just wanted to give him an example on how to set up a remote execution. 

 

For example the caller could remoteExec a text on a other players pc.
