Execute script only server side?

[jw custom 56]

I have a trigger in my mission that execute a script which spawn a UAV Terminal at a random location and that works fine, but it seems that all clients execute that script and then theres spawned up to 6 UAV Terminals.

Now how do i ensure that the script only will be executed by host/server side?

Very simple answer, you can ask for "isServer" at the very top of your script. It will return true if the executing machine is the server, otherwise it returns false.

Example .sqs

? not isServer : exit

Example .sqf (what I prefer)

if(not isServer) exitWith{};

cool thanks :)

P.S. one more question though: so if i use "if(not isServer) exitWith{};" the code within the brackets will get executed if NOT server right?

The more proper way is this:

if(isServer)then{
// code to execute if this is the server
};

if(!isServer)then{
// code to execute if this is NOT the server
};

You shouldn't use exitWith{} to exit scripts.

Ok thanks to both of you ;)
