addAction "Serch Body" to scripted units

[CarlGustaffa 4]

Hi

I have tried to add an action so that players can search a dead body before it is buried automatically. The "remove bodies" function (automatically) seem to work, but not the "search body" action (user started). It works fine while testing in singleplayer, but in multiplayer the action doesn't show up, at least not for JIP players. I didn't think JIP would be an issue since it is added to "server units". These are put in the mission via script and not via the editor.

The action is done at the same place where the spawned units have their weapons loadout changed, which *does* work.

What on earth am I doig wrong here?

Example code:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

       if (typeOf _one_unit == "TeamLeaderE") then

       {

           _one_unit addAction ["Search Body", "bat\search_body.sqf", [], 5, true, true, ""];

           _one_unit addMagazine "SmokeShell";

           _one_unit addMagazine "SmokeShell";

           if (floor random 2 > 0.8) then

           {

               _one_unit removeWeapon "AK74";

               _one_unit addWeapon "AKS74PSO";

           };

       };

I am no MP scripting expert, yet it seems that you need to

ensure that the addAction is added on each client and the

server.

So how/here is your script that has this code executed?

Bah, dammit! Locality issue again, I should have guessed. Maybe I will try something like:

searchbodyunit = _one_unit;

publicVariable "searchbodyunit";

and aa addPublicVariableEventHandler "searchbodyunit" on the clients which adds the needed addAction to the enemy squad leaders etc.

Thanks for pointing me in another direction.
