WTF dedicated issues making me nuts....

[Pappy60 10]

this is making me crazy, this is on my dedicated server and this trigger activation is firing, the sniper does get out and I do get radio messages....but most times, the task does not change state....sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't but the trigger always fires.....

What is wrong with this? (note the isServer statement was added as a possible fix but is not fixing it)

if (not IsServer) then {exit}; tskobj_2 settaskstate "SUCCEEDED";

null = [objnull, objnull, tskobj_2, "SUCCEEDED"]

execVM "CA\Modules\MP\data\scriptCommands\taskHint.sqf";

hint "Objective Complete! Sniper Extracted!";

player setcurrenttask tskobj_3; jolly62 vehicleradio "RadioMsg11";

sniper1 action ["GETOUT", jolly62]; {unassignVehicle _x; } foreach (units sniper1);

execVM "CA\Modules\MP\data\scriptCommands\taskHint.sq f";

Look at the .sqf there is a space between the q and f, not sure if thats causing it or maybe its a typo.

That is actually not in the code, it happened when I posted it here during the cut / paste

weird......I edited the post to correct it but it still puts that space in....god I'm having a bad day :(

That space is added by the forum.

If you try to update a task on the server, it has no effect on clients (players).

so what is the proper way for a trigger to update a task on a dedicated server?

mp framework is your friend..

Your calling the MPF script taskhint without useing MPF. so your missing the string to make the call local, and persistent for JIP.

_nic = [nil,player,"loc"+"per",rsetTaskState,tskobj_2,"SUCCEEDED"] call RE;
_nic = [nil,player,"loc"+"per",rtaskHint,tskobj_2,"SUCCEEDED"] call RE;
_nic = [nil,player,"loc"+"per",rsetcurrenttask ,tskobj_3] call RE;

Or just let the trigger do its work, on both server and client.
