Script run for only certain players

[mia389 10]

I have this in a object init line

 nul = [this] execVM "repair.sqf"

Is there anyway I can have this run for only units named

alpha_1

bravo_1

charlie_1

Would I have to run this inside the script?

repair.sqf

if (!isServer) exitWith {};

_unit = _this select 0;
_delay = if (count _this > 1) then {_this select 1} else {10};
_damage = if (count _this > 2) then {_this select 2} else {0};
_times = if (count _this > 3) then {_this select 3} else {0};

_noend = true;
_run = true;
_rounds = 0;

if (_delay < 0) then {_delay = 0};
if (_damage < 0) then {_damage = 0};
if (_times == 0) then {_noend = true;} else {_noend = false;};
if (_times < 0) then {_times = 0; _noend = true;};


while {_run} do 
{
waitUntil {getDammage _unit > _damage};
sleep _delay;
_unit setDamage 0;

if !(_noend) then {_rounds = _rounds + 1};
if ((_rounds == _times) and !(_noend)) then {_run = false;};
};

Dumb question, why not only add that to the init field of those three units?

Other than the dumb question comment, I agree with this.

But, mia could be trying to do something else with this. It looks like you want this done at mission start, right?

Execute script for all local players, then just verify that the player is allowed to run parts of it. Chances are high that you might want to expand this idea of having other players run "other scripts". This way you can include everything in a single script, same for all, but everyone can still be unique. See x_setupplayer.sqf in Domination for more on what I mean: All players run the script, but only fractions of it.

[mia389 10]

Oh, I thought this script had to go into the vehicle init. I try putting it in player init.

[shuko 59]

player/playable and all other men are "vehicles" to the game engine.

[mia389 10]

Ya putting it in the units init did nothing. I have already tried to grab it from domination but I get lost with the X_func part of the script in playersetup. That is way over my head.

By bad guys, I am trying different repair scripts and the one above was the wrong one. This is the one I am trying use

I put this in vehicle init:

_repair = this addAction ["Repair", "repair.sqf"];

Repair.sqf

_unit = _this select 0;
_delay = 115; //time for repair animation
_player = _this select 1;
_damage = 0;

if(getDammage _unit > _damage) then
{
hint "Repairing,This will take about 2 mins.";
_unit setVehicleLock "LOCKED";  
player switchMove "RepairingKneel";
sleep _delay;
player switchMove "AmovPercMstpSrasWrflDnon";
hint "Complete";
_unit setVehicleLock "UNLOCKED";  
_unit setDamage 0;
}
else
{
hint "Not dammaged";
};

When I put the code into players init, it says no damage when I try to fix a vehicle. I am guessing the script is running on the unit its in.

_this select 0 in a addAction script refers to the object you attached the action to.

If you put _repair = this addAction ["Repair", "repair.sqf"]; in a player's init, the script will attempt to "repair" the player. You have to add the action on vehicle.

Something like this in the init of the player: nul = { _x addAction ["Repair", "repair.sqf"]; } forEach [alpha_1, bravo_1, charlie_1];

While player and _player in most likely all situations are the same you might want for clarity to replace the "player" inside the if-statement to "_player".

@ Muzzleflash

Im a bit confused. I need to put this in the init of players alpha_1, bravo_1 and charlie_1

nul = { _x addAction ["Repair", "repair.sqf"]; } forEach [alpha_1, bravo_1, charlie_1];

and change the script to this

_unit = _this select 0;
_delay = 115; //time for repair animation
_player = _this select 1;
_damage = 0;

if(getDammage _unit > _damage) then
{
hint "Repairing,This will take about 2 mins.";
_unit setVehicleLock "LOCKED";  
_player switchMove "RepairingKneel";
sleep _delay;
_player switchMove "AmovPercMstpSrasWrflDnon";
hint "Complete";
_unit setVehicleLock "UNLOCKED";  
_unit setDamage 0;
}
else
{
hint "Not dammaged";
};

Won't the script try to repair the player?

[Muzzleflash 111]

Oh my mistake, thought alpha_1 and so on was the vehicles. You should do this on the each player alpha_1 and so on:

nul = { _x addAction ["Repair", "repair.sqf"]; } forEach [vehicle_1, vehicle_2, vehicle_3];

Where vehicle_1 for example is one of the repairable vehicles.

[mia389 10]

You rock! that sounds like it will work. TY sir! Will give it a try

[shuko 59]

I put this in vehicle init:

_repair = this addAction ["Repair", "repair.sqf"];

Using the last parameter of addAction, you can specify who can see the action:

_repair = this addAction ["Repair", "repair.sqf",[],1,false,true,"","_this in [alpha_1,bravo_1,charlie_1]"];

Nice shk,

now I don't have to name every vehicle.
