init script

[Lightninguk 0]

can somebody please look thur my script and see what wrong

i trying to get norrin revive/upsmon to work upsmon work but not the revive

//begin init.sqf

//Initialise revive script (this next line is needed for revive script)

server execVM "revive_init.sqf";

//Mission parameters

skiptime (paramsArray select 0);

execVM "briefing.sqf";

// JIP fix - why does ArmA execute init.sqf for JIP players, if 'player' is not sync'd yet

if ((!isServer) && (player != player)) then

{

waitUntil {player == player};

};

if (isServer) then

{

//Init UPSMON scritp

call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "scripts\Init_UPSMON.sqf";

};

setviewdistance 1600;

onMapSingleClick "player setpos _pos";

//Process statements stored using setVehicleInit

processInitCommands;

//Finish world initialization before mission is launched.

finishMissionInit;

thanks for you time in this matter

Sorry, I dont understand MP scripts.

however, where you have

player == player

and

player != player

Seems a bit strange to me.

You cant check if one variable is equal to itself, it's always equal to itself?

Correct me if I am wrong here..

Hi Lightninguk,

Can you link your revive_init.sqf file and tell me if you name as well your player for the script line 55 ?

Check if you place the good markers (server, center .... etc).

ps:sorry for my bad english ...

[f2k sel 164]

Isn't it just waitUntil {!(alive player)};

[biggibs 0]

shouldn't you have the following at the end of the init.sqf for norrins revive to work?

if(true) exitWith {};

[shuko 59]

shouldn't you have the following at the end of the init.sqf for norrins revive to work?

if(true) exitWith {};

That does nothing. SQF scripts exit without you telling them to exit. I really don't get it why people see the need to add that.

[biggibs 0]

well i'm no expert so sorry if im wrong!

But i got that code from the init.sqf provided in the d/l for norrins revive.

so dont blame me.:p

[Joshii 10]

player == player

Makes sense in multiplayer since (isNull player) is true for JIP players on their client during initialization.

After JIP player == player.

[shuko 59]

Could just use !isnull player, after that you can use player variable, JIP or not.

I've never used revive, but I take that the "server" that is passed as a parameter to it is an editor placed object?

here my revive_init.sqf

Ok, Your Revive file look quite good (i think there is a problem when you paste it), check for the marker server.

Here is an exemple of an init with Revive Script and UPSMON:

if (isServer) then
{
//Init UPSMON scritp
call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "scripts\Init_UPSMON.sqf";	
};

//Initialise revive script (this next line is needed for revive script)
server execVM "revive_init.sqf";

//Mission parameters
skiptime (paramsArray select 0);

//Briefing
execVM "briefing.sqf";

//Process statements stored using setVehicleInit
processInitCommands;

//Finish world initialization before mission is launched. 
finishMissionInit;

You configure Norrin Revive for JIP so it can be a problème with your first init, if it doesn't work check your RPT file for error.
