How to call another sqf in the init server sqf

[Gamer-3ac24a5e7f4beb96 4]

I have an initServer sqf counting enemy kills. I would like call a separate sqf that plays a sound each time an enemy is killed. How do I correctly format the call to the sound sqf in my code shown here:

 

if (isServer) then {

    _enemies = allUnits select {!isPlayer _x && side _x == WEST};
    political_will = 100;

(format ["British Political Will: %1", political_will]) remoteExec ["hint",0,false];
    _onKilled = {
        political_will = political_will - 1;
        
        (format ["British Political Will: %1-", political_will]) remoteExec ["hint",0,false];
        
    };
    
    {_x addEventhandler ["killed",_onKilled]; false} count _enemies;
};

my sound playing sqf is called killsounds.sqf
Do I just need a line of code in the _onKilled brackets?

[Gamer-3ac24a5e7f4beb96 4]

Is there a way to use the remoteExec as in

remoteExec [call killsound.sqf];

I'm sure that's not proper though.

Why call another script? Just add your code to the EH.

if (isServer) then {
	_enemies = allUnits select {!isPlayer _x && side _x == WEST};
	political_will = 100;
	(format ["British Political Will: %1", political_will]) remoteExec ["hint",0,false];
	_onKilled = {
		params ["_unit", "_killer", "_instigator", "_useEffects"];
		political_will = political_will - 1;
		(format ["British Political Will: %1-", political_will]) remoteExec ["hint",0,false];
		//  E.G. -- [_unit, "deathSound"] remoteExec [say3D, 0, false];
	};
	{_x addEventhandler ["killed",_onKilled]; false} count _enemies;
};

 

It's actually the recommended practice, from remoteExec:

Quote

The direct execution of call or spawn via remoteExec (or remoteExecCall) should be avoided to prevent issues in cases where the remote execution of call or spawn is blocked by CfgRemoteExec. It is instead recommended to create a function to be itself remote-executed.

 

Though it should be fine to remoteExec an execVM.

Remarks:

1- it's useless specifying : if (isServer) then {...};    in initServer.sqf !

 

2- applying the "killed" EH on each enemy like this, means you set enemies in stone: enemies are edited one, not spawned if any. Use (same way, in init.sqf) the MEH "entityKilled"  instead.

 

3- if two or more played sides, then different enemies, just add conditions and variables if needed.

example, in initServer.sqf:

WESTpolitical_will = 100;
INDEPpolitical_will = 100;
 
addMissionEventHandler ["entityKilled", {
 params ["_unit", "_killer", "_instigator", "_useEffects"];
 if (isNull _instigator) then {_instigator = UAVControl vehicle _killer select 0};  // instigator is more effective than killer
 if (isNull _instigator) then {_instigator = _killer};
  if (isPlayer _instigator && side group _unit in (_instigator call BIS_fnc_enemySides)) then {  // count only players' kills but you can remove the isPlayer condition
   call {
    if (side _instigator == INDEPENDENT) exitWith {
     INDEPpolitical_will = INDEPpolitical_will -1;
     (format ["INDEP Political Will: %1", INDEPpolitical_will]) remoteExec ["hint",INDEPENDENT]; // just hint for concerned players
    };
     if (side _instigator == WEST) exitWith {
      WESTpolitical_will = WESTpolitical_will -1;
      (format ["WEST Political Will: %1", WESTpolitical_will]) remoteExec ["hint",WEST]  // same
     };
   };
  };
}];

Thak you!

I have only one playable side and no spawned in enemies in the scenario.

The reason I wanted to call another sqm is that i have made one that plays one of four random sounds like this:
 

_sound = selectRandom 
  [
    "hitmetal1", // As defined by you in Description.ext
    "hitmetal2",
    "hitbody1",
    "hitbody2",
  ];

playSound _sound;

Can I put that whole chunk where you suggest I put [_unit, "deathSound"] remoteExec [say3D, 0, false];

Out of curiosity does that say 3d command make a 3d sound at the position of the player?

[pierremgi 4739]

There is a typo. You always need to quote command for remoteExec it.

The source of the sound is at first parameter (_unit here).

 

[_unit, "deathSound"] remoteExec ["say3D",[0,-2] select isDedicated];

Thank you pierremgi
is there a way to play the sound globally or for all of opfor? I have 8 player slots and rather than specify the sound on each enemy or each player it would be simpler to have it play for everyone any time an enemy is killed.

Globally, that's the way I wrote (not so different from ...["say3D",0] if you read).

For EST side , as shown above ...["say3D",EAST]

Time for you to read a little bit on remoteExec before scripting at random.

But also say3D and its limitations. Not tested but not sure you don't kill the source at the same time. Test it.

I'm not trying or claiming to be great at it. I just like this one mod I've made because its fun. Thank you for the help.
