Greetings everyone! I have recently released my first mission on steam, which was a fun little scripting adventure, learning all the basics etc. I have done some scripting in the past so it was not hard to understand, but a few questions remain: 1. Creating a function and loading it into the init, calling it through remote exec: I sync everything with eveything, but I read sometimes that if you want to run missions on dedicated servers, you have to put down if (isDedicated) exitWith {}. I also see examples of using isServer. Now my question is, what is good to filter out of the servers/dedicated script, or to put it in better words, what should a server never run? For instance, I have a function that I include in the init.sqf, then call it through remoteExec from a trigger. Is this gonna have problems on a server or a dedicated server? TIK_fnc_endMission = { titleCut ["", "BLACK OUT", 2]; sleep 3; if (vehicle P1 != P1) then {moveOut P1}; P1 moveInCargo transportBoat1; if (vehicle P2 != P2) then {moveOut P2}; P2 moveInCargo transportBoat1; if (!isNil "P3") then { if (alive P3) then { if (vehicle P3 != P3) then {moveOut P3}; P3 moveInCargo transportBoat1; }; }; if (!isNil "P4") then { if (alive P4) then { if (vehicle P4 != P4) then {moveOut P4}; P4 moveInCargo transportBoat1; }; }; taskNR = 15; publicVariable "taskNR"; sleep 2; titleCut ["", "BLACK IN", 2]; //blablablabla transportBoat1D sideChat "We packed enough explosives inside this boat to take down a building."; plane1 enableSimulation true; //more blablabla with cursing sleep 4; P2 groupChat "Why is there a plain above our head?"; sleep 10; null = "Bo_Mk82" createVehicle getmarkerPos "bomb_1"; sleep 0.8; null = "Bo_Mk82" createVehicle getmarkerPos "bomb_2"; sleep 0.2; null = "Bo_Mk82" createVehicle getmarkerPos "bomb_3"; sleep 0.4; null = "Bo_Mk82" createVehicle getmarkerPos "bomb_4"; //blabla curse sleep 7; ["End1",true] call BIS_fnc_endMission; }; 2. Is a trigger synchronised? I suspect it is but I want to make sure. Say a group leader is linked to a trigger, presence for any group member, I asume this will execute the trigger on all clients when one of the group members enters the trigger? 3. Why does the "sound[] = {"\music\filename.ogg", db+0, 1.0};" volume value in the cfgSounds have no influence over the actual loudness (I have seen it in 1.0 form and in db+1, tried all kinds of values, feels unresponsive and weird), and why does the say3D distance value not respond to changes? 4. And last but not least, a question about a trigger that acts weird: Made a trigger, trigger owner to the group leader, set to WHOLE GROUP present. If I launch the scenario in the editor it works fine, the trigger fires when the whole group enters. But when I export the scenario and play it through SP > Scenarios, the trigger fires when the group leader enters, and is unresponsive to the rest of the team members. Does anyone know why? Help would be much appreciated! Greets, Tikas

Ah, no, then I have done it how its supposed too be, group leader is trigger owner, set it to WHOLE GROUP. It reacts perfectly when launched from the editor, but once exported, it only fires when the group leader enters the trigger... Im perplexed, this has never happened before ---------- edit --------- The only other thing I can think of is that for each member in the group, I use this in their init: Inis = group this; Not sure if this messes with the group structure or w/e, and now looking at that code I suspect I only have to use it in the group leaders unit, because group this will add the whole group as an array to the variable Inis?

Exactly this. It reacts the way it should if I launch from the editor, it does not once I export, either SP or MP... And thanks for the info, shouldve read the Rules first ofcourse ;-) Does anyone have the same problem as I do? This is really weird... ------------------------------ Edit ---------------------------------- Is it mayby because I did not make the other group members trigger owners, but just the group leader? (not sure if there can be more then 1 trigger owner? Never needed it before)

Seeing I cant create my own post for some reason I will ask it here, hope thats alright: I have a trigger, set to WHOLE GROUP, trigger owned to the group leader. When I launch the scenario from the editor in SP, the trigger waits with firing untill the whole group is inside. But when I export the mission to SP, and launch it from there, the trigger fires when the group leader gets inside and does not react to the rest of the group... Am I doing something wrong? I am using the 3den enhanced, could that have anything to do with it? Greets, Tikas

Cool
