ManDay 0 Posted June 29, 2007 Does anybody know how you can tell whether a function is global or local in the biki when there is no icon for EffectsGlobal/Local... etc... ? Example: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/createTrigger Is the trigger only created locally and doesnt exit on other computers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raedor 8 Posted June 29, 2007 In VBS1 it was created globally, but the commands to change its settings were local (after the first patch). Don't know if it's the same way in ArmA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I was more asking for a general rule in the BIKI from which you can tell whether one thing is G or L etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ManDay 0 Posted June 30, 2007 <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>moveInDriver</span> I understand that the arguments have to be local but are the "effects" also local or isn't that wrong? When I move a unit into a vehicle as driver it will be moved into that vehicle on all clients and the server. Why is it marked E_L? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schwab 0 Posted June 30, 2007 Effect local means that the effect is only on the machine where the function is called. So if you call moveindriver the arguments have to be local aswell as the effect is local only too. Are you working on my global/local problem from the german forum ? Maybe it's a good idea to post it here cause the german community did not find a solution yet (moving that). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Argument (soldier) has to be local, but then effect is global. -- Fixed it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moricky 211 Posted June 30, 2007 I think all moveToXXX commands have global effects, not only moveInDriver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
