Hi everyone! ( This is a repost, because I have some debug and video demo) I have a problem. I have been trying to create a script that will let me spin/rotate an object real fast. The object in question is LightHouse (tall) (Land_LightHouse_F). But I had one problem. the lighthouse's pivot point is at its door, not at its centre. So I have been using this code. Which got rid of the problem of lighthouse spinning around its door instead of its centre: params ["_objectToSpin", "_spinSpeedMin", "_spinSpeedMax", "_timeToReachMaxSpeed"]; // Initialize parameters _spinSpeedMin = _spinSpeedMin; // Initial rotation speed in degrees per second _spinSpeedMax = _spinSpeedMax; // Maximum rotation speed in degrees per second _timeToReachMaxSpeed = _timeToReachMaxSpeed; // Time to reach maximum speed in seconds // Get the initial position of the object _initialPosition = position _objectToSpin; // Ensure the object is initially on the ground _initialPosition set [2, (_initialPosition select 2) + 0.1]; _objectToSpin setPos _initialPosition; // Calculate model's center offset (adjust these values based on your model's pivot) _modelCenter = [0, 0, 0]; // Replace with the actual offset if known // Initialize rotation and time _lastTime = diag_tickTime; _startTime = _lastTime; // Record the start time _initialHeight = (_initialPosition select 2); _currentRotationSpeed = _spinSpeedMin; // Initial rotation speed // Main loop to handle rotation while {alive _objectToSpin} do { _currentTime = diag_tickTime; _deltaTime = _currentTime - _lastTime; // Calculate elapsed time since start _elapsedTime = _currentTime - _startTime; // Calculate current rotation speed based on elapsed time if (_elapsedTime < _timeToReachMaxSpeed) then { _currentRotationSpeed = _spinSpeedMin + (_spinSpeedMax - _spinSpeedMin) * (_elapsedTime / _timeToReachMaxSpeed); } else { _currentRotationSpeed = _spinSpeedMax; }; // Calculate new rotation angle _rotationIncrement = _currentRotationSpeed * _deltaTime; _currentDir = getDir _objectToSpin; _newDir = _currentDir + _rotationIncrement; _newDir = _newDir % 360; // Ensure the angle stays within 0-360 degrees // Calculate the current position _currentPos = position _objectToSpin; _newPos = [ (_currentPos select 0) - (_modelCenter select 0), (_currentPos select 1) - (_modelCenter select 1), _initialHeight // Maintain consistent height ]; // Apply rotation _objectToSpin setDir _newDir; // Set the new position _objectToSpin setPos [_newPos select 0, _newPos select 1, _newPos select 2]; _lastTime = _currentTime; // Update the last time // Sleep to yield to other processes sleep 0.01; }; This script was working fine until I tested it on a dedicated server. On a dedicated server lighthouse spins around its door instead of its centre. I am not good at math, so most of the code is just bits and pieces I got from the internet and put together. I call the script this way: I have an object with addAction: this addaction["Spin it", { [_this select 0,_this select 2] remoteExec ["removeAction", 0, true]; null = [] execVM "scripts\end.sqf"; }, [], 6, false, true, "", "", 5]; and end.sqf has the line: null = [object_to_levitate, 0, 120, 20] execVM "scripts\spin.sqf"; at the top. I don't know how to solve this issue. I appreciate any help. Video demonstration of what is happening instead of what is supposed to happen: I run the code with debug messages: Singleplayer: Current position : [8684.5,10613.9,0.1], New position after adjustment: [8684.5,10613.9,0.1] Object rotated to NewDir = 284.013 and moved to NewPos = [8684.5,10613.9,0.1] and position numbers never change. They stay the same. Only things that change are direction, rotations speed/increment and elapsed time. And this is the result when I run this mission on multiplayer server: Current position : [8683.16,10611.3,0.1], New position after adjustment: [8683.16,10611.3,0.1] Object rotated to NewDir = 324.629 and moved to NewPos = [8683.14,10611.2,0.1] Notice the difference between position numbers? And positions numbers constantly change unlike single player where they would stay constant.

Hi, Mrcurry! Thank you for responding. my addactions only set the booleans to true. I have booleans in init.sqf for example: canBlowUp = false; publicVariable "canBlowUp"; canEnd = false; publicVariable "canEnd"; and even when I try to activate the setDamage code via script using booleans as condition. Hint in between setDamage codes shows up, but there is no explosion but If I activate that trigger by stepping into it, it works and explosion happens. Am I supposed figure out a way to set a boolean for every machine on the server? setVariable? I still don't understand why setdamage works when the trigger is activated by a player, but when the same trigger is activated by a boolean it does not work ( hint "Yes2!!" still works so that means boolean gets set). If you need more details, I will happily provide

Hello, everyone! I have a problem related to addAction and triggers on Dedicated servers. In my mission there is an objective where players have to go to a laptop_1 and make mines online which in turn sets the boolean isMineSet to TRUE. And I have a Trigger_1 and isMineSet is in the condition field of Trigger_1. In the activation field of Trigger_1 is this code: laptop_2 addaction["Blow it up!", { (_this select 0) removeAction(_this select 2); canBlowUp = true; }, [], 6, false, true, "", "", 5]; and in the second Trigger_2 I have canBlowUp in the condition field and I have this code in the activation: [] spawn { sleep 1; charge_1 setDamage 1; hint "Yes2!!"; sleep 1; charge_2 setDamage 1; }; and I know that boolean values get set because addAction works and the hint "Yes2!!" also works. But there is no explosion. But if I set an area for Trigger_2 and set Activation to Any Player and step into the trigger, the explosion happens I also tried this code in addAction, but it also does not work, but if I add this code to a trigger and activate it by stepping in it, it works: Laptop_2 addaction["Blow it up!", { (_this select 0) removeAction(_this select 2); null = [napalm1] execVM "AL_napalm\alias_obj_sing.sqf"; sleep 1; null = [napalm2] execVM "AL_napalm\alias_obj_sing.sqf"; sleep 1; }, [], 6, false, true, "", "", 5]; all the above mentioned code works properly when I host it as multiplayer in the editor. Does anyone have any Idea what might cause this? I appreciate your help. Thank you!
