[Solved] RemoteExec on player vehicle in trigger

[Northup 20]

Have a repair trigger. Trying to figure out how to remoteExec to client (driver) of the vehicle the repair script. 

Crude example:

// Set trigger condition and statements
        _repairTrigger setTriggerStatements 
        
        [
        //"{_x isKindOf 'LandVehicle' || _x isKindOf 'Helicopter' && speed _x < 1} count thisList > 0", // Condition (testing cond. below.)
        "{(_x isKindOf 'LandVehicle' || _x isKindOf 'Helicopter') && speed _x < 1 && damage _x > 0} count thisList > 0",// Condition
        "call {_handle = [(thisList select 0), thisTrigger] call NUP_fnc_repairVehicle;}", // Activation
        "" // Deactivation (empty)
        ];

works fine in local hosted, not dedicated, obviously.

Tried:
 

" [(thisList select 0), thisTrigger] remoteExec ['NUP_fnc_repairVehicle', owner _x] ;", // Activation

I'm just a tad stumped. Any takers?

thisList is for preset condition (like BLUFOR PRESENT) what is yours?

 

_x is a magic variable only working in specific iterations  . So owner _x can't work.

You can try:
owner (thisList#0)  or just:  clientOwner

 

The fact is, if you create a trigger and you want to run a code just on one PC, just make it local, on every player (client) (makeGlobal false parameter)

_repairTrigger setTriggerActivation ["ANY", "PRESENT", true];

Tried both of those. Neither seemed to work.

That doesn't matter.

Your preset condition "Any" "present" will be true everywhere the trigger is known (server + client or server only).

So, the code will run... and:

- if on server only, you may have to remote execute some commands (depending on locality for arguments or effects).
For example spawning a vehicle (via createVehicle) is straight (no remote execution) because the command is GE.

On the other hand, a command like playSound , which is LE, needs to be remote executed for clients (players).

I can't say for your NUP_fnc_repairVehicle  functions, because I don't know which commands are involved here. If just a setDamage, no need for remote execution, the command is  GA GE!

But I guess there are other commands like hint (LE) or else.

 

- if for everyone, (not server only) , the code will run everywhere. The reason why sometimes people ask why there are so many vehicles spawned at the same place, even without any remote execution.

This option is fine for running code everywhere (without useless broadcast), but may cause other issues.

 

Remark:

- For edited triggers, you can choose between server only / or not,   options.

- For scripted triggers, you can script where you need (server, some clients, all clients, server + clients), and you can decide if the trigger is "local" or "global" (in confusing term of makeGlobal true or false)

this option (see createTrigger syntax) has no sense in editor, but makes sense in script, especially in MP scenario.

Two questions:
1 Where your trigger is written ( server script, initPlayerLocal.sqf... ?)
2 what your  NUP_fnc_repairVehicle  is made of  (code)?

Yeah, a little titletext and a few of sleeps basically, in addition to rearming, repairing and refueling. 

I tried the original and had no result. Assumed it wasn't firing on player.

1. The trigger itself is part of a composition spawned in with Larrow's Eden Comp Spawn, which is called in zoneSelect. In initSafezone, I snag and update the trigger, and call addVehicleServices, where I apply setTriggerActivation and setTriggerStatements posted above. It's a bit complex. InitSever>zoneSelect>LARs_fnc_spawnComp>initSafezone>addVehicleServices.

//get the repair trigger

    private _triggerList = _flag nearObjects ["EmptyDetector", 150];

    // Filter only triggers with names starting with "NUP_repairTrigger_"
    private _repairTriggers = _triggerList select {
        (toLower (name _x) find "nup_repairtrigger_") isEqualTo 0
    };

    // Call NUP_fnc_addVehicleServices for each repair trigger
    {
        private _repairTrigger = _x;
        
        // Ensure the trigger name matches
        private _triggerName = toLower (name _repairTrigger);
        if (_triggerName find "nup_repairtrigger_" isEqualTo 0) then {
            
            // Call NUP_fnc_addVehicleServices passing the side and the repair trigger
            [_repairTrigger] call NUP_fnc_addVehicleServices;
        };
    } forEach _repairTriggers;

2. I added a pastebin link to a previous post maybe 30 seconds before I got the notification for this.

Ok, so I figured it out.

I wasn't paying close enough attention to the repair script.

All of the titleTexts and hints need to be remote exec'd, and the script can just be called. 

 

[["<t color='#00ff00' size='2'>Repairing Damage...</t><br/>", "PLAIN", -1, true, true]] remoteExec ["titleText", owner _driver];
