Changing positions of objects/markers

[strango 5]

I've got a mission that works perfectly in the editor, but when running it on a dedicated server only certain parts are working. The first script moves both teams respawns, spawn control, flag pole, flag pole marker and ammo crates to a new location whenever the script is called. The server will move the spawn control and flag pole, but will not move the spawn areas or the marker for the flag pole. Here is the code for the script:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">?!(local Server): exit

;;Detect present location of the flag_pole

?(Pos == 1): goto "Area1"

?(Pos == 2): goto "Area2"

?(Pos == 3): goto "Area3"

?(Pos == 4): goto "Area4"

?(Pos == 5): goto "Area5"

Can anyone see anything wrong in here that would not let this work on a dedicated server. I'm pretty new to OFP scripting and not very knowledgeable on what commands need to be run only on the server and which need to be run on the server and the client.

For markers you must update markers on each of the clients.

For the ammo boxes (or objects in general) you need to move them on the server. Er atleast thats the why I do it.

I changed the script to the way you mentioned where clients & server move the markers and just the server on objects.

Now it works inconsistently, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It is also inconsistent between the players on the server. For some of the guys the markers move and others they don't. The objects seem to always move for everyone though.

Is this just lag/dsync in the netcode causing it or something else?

Every once and a while i find my marker scripts get out of wack I just blame it on lag.

Doesn't happen when I'm playing on the lan only.
