How to get player side on connect

[pawelisus 1]

addMissionEventHandler ["PlayerConnected", {

_playeruid = _this select 1;

_playerUnit = 0;


        waitUntil

        {

            sleep 1;

            _playerUnit = _playeruid call BIS_fnc_getUnitByUID;

            not isNull _playerUnit;

        };
_playerside = side _playerUnit;

]};

Main problem is that the _playerside is equal to UNKNOWN. I've noticed that _playerUnit is <Null-Object>. I think BIS_fnc_getUnitByUID is called before player joined and I cant find a way to call it after him spawning.

I'm not good at multiplayer scripts at all, but I see that you're using a loop in unscheduled environment . Also, the brackets in the code are mixed up in places.

May be try:

addMissionEventHandler ["PlayerConnected", {

_playerUnit = (_this select 1) call BIS_fnc_getUnitByUID;

_playerside = side _playerUnit;

}];

That is why I used spawn in my original code...

In my original code brackets are fine, I made a mistake writing it to a topic but thanks. Unfortunately it wont work because if it will be called emediately it will just return side "UKNOWN" because player isn't spawned yet

@pawelisus,

Where are you executing this command/script?

Switching topic.

This is all taken care of in your other topic. This one is redundant.
