Script application

[wld427 1705]

This is the script from the domination mission. I am running a simple add action script on the ammo truck. The problem i have is after the truck respawns the script no longer applies itself. anybody have any ideas. I higlited the line i added to try and run the script.

_empty = true;

_disabled = false;

_waiting = true;

_startpos = getpos _vehicle;

_startdir = getdir _vehicle;

_type = typeof _vehicle;

_st = format ["TW%1=this;this addeventhandler [""killed"", {nil=[_this select 0, _this select 1] execVM ""x_scripts\x_checkkillveh.sqf""}];",_number_v];

_vehicle setVehicleInit _st;

processInitCommands;

while {_waiting} do {

sleep (_delay + random 15);

_empty = true;

_crew = crew _vehicle;

if (count _crew > 0) then {

_i = 0;

_run = true;

while {_i < count _crew && _run} do {

if (alive (_crew select _i)) then {

_empty = false;

_run = false;

};

_i = _i + 1;

};

};

_disabled = false;

if (damage _vehicle > 0.86) then {

_disabled = true;

};

if ((_disabled && _empty) || !(alive _vehicle)) then {

sleep 0.1;

_waiting = false;

_vehicle removeAllEventHandlers "killed";

deletevehicle _vehicle;

sleep 0.5;

_vehicle = objNull;

_newveh = _type createvehicle _startpos;

_newveh setpos _startpos;

_newveh setdir _startdir;

build = [_newveh] exec "action.sqs";

nil = [_newveh, _delay,_number_v] execVM "x_scripts\x_truckrespawn.sqf";

};

};

make sure you do setDir before setPos and, do a setVelocity afterwards...

You don't need vehicleVarname stuff as I do not use vehicle varnames in Domination.

Solution for your problem, simply put "build = [_newveh] exec "action.sqs";" in the vehicle init... (I have updated the complete code)...

if (!isServer) exitWith {};

_startpos = position _vehicle;

_startdir = direction _vehicle;

_type = typeof _vehicle;

_st = format ["TW%1=this;build = [this] exec ""action.sqs"";this addeventhandler [""killed"", {nil=[_this select 0, _this select 1] execVM ""x_scripts\x_checkkillveh.sqf""}];",_number_v];

_vehicle setVehicleInit _st;

processInitCommands;

while {true} do {

sleep (_delay + random 15);

_empty = (if (({alive _x} count (crew _vehicle)) > 0) then {false} else {true});

_disabled = (if (damage _vehicle > 0.86) then {true} else {false});

if ((_disabled && _empty) || !(alive _vehicle)) exitWith {

sleep 0.1;

_vehicle removeAllEventHandlers "killed";

deletevehicle _vehicle;

sleep 0.5;

_vehicle = objNull;

_newveh = _type createvehicle _startpos;

_newveh setpos _startpos;

_newveh setdir _startdir;

nil = [_newveh, _delay,_number_v] execVM "x_scripts\x_truckrespawn.sqf";

};

};

The script runs on the server, so if you add an action to the vehicle on the server, no client will see that action.

Solution, put it in the vehicle init which will be broadcasted over the network to all clients (even those clients that connect later, JIP).
