Multiplayer scripting question..

[Schilly 10]

Looking to find a way to tell if a Popup target has been hit in a multiplayer setting...

addEventHandler only seems to work with single player... And I cannot for some reason get "animationPhase" to work.

Anyone have any ideas?

I borrowed a pop up target script for a sniper training map I made for arma on the avgani map. Here's the script - it might help you. I can't remember if I called the script from a the pop up target's init line, or from init.sqf.

// this script should be being run by every pop up target on dedi server

/* InitPopUpTarget.sqf
*
* SYNTAX:      nil = [Object, Number, Boolean] execVM "InitPopUpTarget.sqf"
*
* PARAMETERS:  Object:  A pop-up target
*              Number:  The number of hits it takes to knock the target down
*              Boolean: If set to True, the target will pop up again.
*
* NOTES:       This function is meant to be placed in the Initialization field
*              of a pop-up target.
*
*              Pop-up targets that are not initialized with this function will
*              stop working as expected: they won't pop up again. This is
*              because this function sets the global variable "nopop" to True.
