XCess 0 Posted August 22, 2006 I'm making a large mission with two randomised objectives and a randomised convoy, but having trouble showing these objectives in the initial briefing.

Is there any way to fix this so I can show objectives in the initial briefing, or will I have to show them later on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Metal Heart 0 Posted August 22, 2006 You seem to be missing a whole lot of publicvariable commands there unless they're all in a separate script. Just in case... For a client to see a variable that has been set in a server-side script, you must publicvariable "variablename" it. Like: ?not local server : exit objectives = 1+2+16+64+128 showobjectives = true publicvariable "objectives" publicvariable "showobjectives" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XCess 0 Posted August 22, 2006 ah, thanks for that. must be the whole problem.. i feel like such a n00b Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XCess 0 Posted August 23, 2006 I've updated the script with publicVariables, but I still seem to be missing something.

Metal Heart 0 Posted August 23, 2006 You need to use publicvariable after each time you change the variable. Like: ?not local server : exit A=1 publicvariable "A" A=2 ;at this point clients still see A==1 even though it's A==2 on the server publicvariable "A" ;now the new value of A is transmitted to them so they see a==2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XCess 0 Posted August 23, 2006 Will this also work on the same line, seperated by a semi colon? e.g runObjects = true; publicVariable "runObjects" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Metal Heart 0 Posted August 24, 2006 Sure, why not. It's just that having commands in a single line makes the code harder to follow. Example line from DAC (must be a world record): ?((count (_this select 2) + count (_this select 3) + count (_this select 4) + count (_this select 5)) == 0) || ((count (_this select 1)) < 3) || (((count (_this select 1)) > 3) && (!((count (_this select 1)) == 5))) || (((count (_this select 2)) < 4) && (!((count (_this select 2)) <= 1))) || ((count (_this select 2)) > 5) || (((count (_this select 3)) < 4) && (!((count (_this select 3)) <= 1))) || ((count (_this select 3)) > 5) || (((count (_this select 4)) < 4) && (!((count (_this select 4)) <= 1))) || ((count (_this select 4)) > 5) || (((count (_this select 5)) < 3) && (!((count (_this select 5)) <= 1))) || ((count (_this select 5)) == 5) || ((count (_this select 5)) > 7) || ((count (_this select 6)) < 3) || ((count (_this select 6)) > 3):hintc format["Attention, in at least one zone\nthere is a faulty one script call.\n\nEither parameters were handed over\nnot enough, or too many parameters\nwere handed over...\n\n%1\n%2\n%3\n%4\n%5\n%6\n\nPosition of the faulty zone:\n\nX = %7 | Y = %8",_this select 1,_this select 2,_this select 3,_this select 4,_this select 5,_this select 6,getpos _KiZone select 0,getpos _KiZone select 1];DAC_Basic_Value = 2;publicvariable "DAC_Basic_Value";exit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
