Script firing multiple times on dedicated

[Script firing multiple times on dedicated]

I did not look at much of your script, but the trigger statement works with the players.
That's not good for an MP mission.
Such things should only be done by the server.

[Helping with Syntax for CreateUnit]

Pay attention to the syntax!

_grp = createGroup east; 
_unit = _grp createUnit ["O_Survivor_F",(getMarkerPos "opfor_0"),[],0, "NONE"];

 

_type = "O_Survivor_F";
_here = getmarkerpos "opfor_0";
_group = createGroup east;
_init = "";
_skill = 0.5;
_rank = "PRIVATE";

_type createUnit [_here,_group,_init,_skill,_rank];

 

[What exactly are scriptedEventHandlers? [ANSWERED but still very instructive]]

Excellent thread, thanks @ZaellixA for your persistent questioning, thanks to all who respond to it, specifically @Dedmen, for your consistent style.

I've learned a lot, hopefully I can put that learned into practice.

I'm always having fun with your scripts!

Looks good George, will test it right away.

[Two Helis takeoff after loaded, not working on Dedicated Server]

Give your playable units a variable name such as: P01.
Replace "player" with the "P01" and you have the solution.
The server doesn´t know player but P01.

{_x in H1} count (units group P01) == {alive _x} count (units group P01);

Player is a command that points to an object and works only on clients or client-server, not on dedicated-server.

 

It would be better to give the different groups a name, for example: G01.

 

Edit: ... and welcome to the Arma MP Universe, there are a lot of stumbling blocks left ...

[Two Helis takeoff after loaded, not working on Dedicated Server]

Player on dedicated is objNull.

Just like Johnnyboy's.
But I'll take a closer look, thanks.

What a great surprise.
Where did you get all the ideas from?

Good work.

[Refill vehicle ammo]

For vehicles you could do it like this:

tag_fnc_used_mags =
{	_mags = magazinesAllTurrets _this;
	private _used_mags = [];
	{	_x params ["_mag","_turret","_count"];
		if (getNumber (configfile >> "CfgMagazines" >> _mag >> "count") > _count) then
		{	_used_mags pushBack _mag
		};
	} forEach _mags;
	_used_mags
};

Call e.g. with: vehicle player call tag_fnc_used_mags

Spits out an array of used magazines.

So many ways to do something...

 

[How to change description in role assignment (via description.ext)]

in EdenEditor Menue >> Attributes >> Multiplayer

then in window Edit: Multiplayer >> Lobby >> Summary

 

Edit:

I think that there is no possibility with the description.ext, because it is not documented.

[Refill vehicle ammo]

The max number is in the pylon magazine text.

 

"PylonRack_3Rnd_Missile_AGM_02_F"

 

edit:

You can also get the max ammunition with:

getNumber (configfile >> "CfgMagazines" >> "PylonRack_3Rnd_Missile_AGM_02_F" >> "count");

 

[Refill vehicle ammo]

I had done this last year:

tag_fnc_PylonArray =
{	// predefine the return value
	private _returnArray = [];
	// read all existing magazines in the pylons
	_arrPylonMagazines = getPylonMagazines _this;
	// create the return array using the config
	{	_returnArray pushback
		[	// pylon name
			_x,
			// pylon magazine
			_arrPylonMagazines select _forEachIndex,
			// amount of ammunition
			_this ammoOnPylon _x
		]
	} forEach ("true" configClasses (configFile>>"CfgVehicles">>typeOf _this>>"Components">>"TransportPylonsComponent">>"pylons") apply {configName _x});
	_returnArray
};

Call e.g. with: vehicle player call tag_fnc_PylonArray;

The function gives you e.g. the following array back:

[	["Pylons1","PylonRack_1Rnd_Missile_AA_04_F",1],
	["Pylons2","PylonRack_7Rnd_Rocket_04_HE_F",7],
	["Pylons3","PylonRack_3Rnd_Missile_AGM_02_F",3],
	["Pylons4","PylonMissile_1Rnd_Bomb_04_F",1],
	["Pylons5","PylonMissile_1Rnd_Bomb_04_F",1],
	["Pylons6","PylonMissile_1Rnd_Bomb_04_F",1],
	["Pylons7","PylonMissile_1Rnd_Bomb_04_F",1],
	["Pylons8","PylonRack_3Rnd_Missile_AGM_02_F",3],
	["Pylons9","PylonRack_7Rnd_Rocket_04_AP_F",7],
	["Pylons10","PylonRack_1Rnd_Missile_AA_04_F",1]
]

[ ["pylon name","pylon magazine",amount of ammunition], ...]

With the help of the array you can quickly see which ammunition needs to be filled up.

 

[Player inventory recover]

Or the handleDamage EH...

 

edit:

As I guess George he is already tinkering. 😉

[Player inventory recover]

Maybe, but you can try the difference.

 

From my ArmaArcade mission onPlayerKilled.sqf:

params ["_oldUnit","_killer"];
_load = getUnitLoadout _oldUnit;

// a few more lines...

waitUntil
{	sleep 0.1;
	!isNull player
};
player setUnitLoadout [_load,false];

 

[Player inventory recover]

Since I use getUnitLoadout and setUnitloadout, this error no longer occurs.

Best working code until now is...

 

Use this instead:

player addEventHandler ["AnimChanged",
{	
	if (animationState player == "para_pilot") then
	{ 
		("SmokeShell" createVehicle (position player)) attachto [(vehicle  player)];
	};
}];

"para_pilot" is an action name, not an anim name.

[[SOLVED] eventHandler for opening the parachute]

Hmm, can´t test it yet...

What about...

player addEventHandler ["AnimChanged",
{	
	params ["","_anim"];
	hint format ["%1",_anim];
}];

...to check anim name?

untested

player addEventHandler ["AnimChanged",
{

	if (_anim isEqualTo "para_pilot") then

	};
}];

Sorry, I did not know that there is a Sunday Revive script package.
Unfortunately I can not start your example mission, do you already have something working?

 

It's better to ask the author how he integrated his script package.
