FOUND THE SOLUTION ON MY OWN. It's a framerate issue. I exported the video file at 30 FPS originally before conversion. The 60FPS file plays normally. I'm still working to confirm that it works for all players with the new export, will update this when I'm able.

I am designing a horror themed operation and needed a cut scene for my big bad's evil speech. I cut together a video and put it in the .ogv video format and am calling it via a trigger and a script. The script moves the players to specific spots and faces them, disables their simulation and damage, plays the video, times music to play in sync with a specific point of the video, and then re-enables their damage and simulation. Everything is moving perfectly and is timed up with uIsleeps with the exception of the video itself. The video appears to be playing back at a speed ratio of almost 2:1. The audio sounds normal, but the visuals are incredibly sped up and the video ends drastically ahead of schedule, cutting the audio out when the visuals finish. I've tried calling the video in two different ways, the first being: ["videos\TimorSpeech.ogv"] call BIS_fnc_playvideo; and the second: ["videos\TimorSpeech.ogv"] remoteExec ["BIS_fnc_playVideo", ([0, -2] select isDedicated)]; Both work in calling the video, both result in the same issue. The playback of the video is remarkably consistent and is ending at about the same time each time. I have nothing in the script or the trigger that should be adjusting time speed or scale. Below is the entirety of the script. The script is called with execVM "scripts\BigBad.sqf"; Any idea why the video playback would be so accelerated or how I might remedy it? Also please forgive the lack of a for loop here, I know it's not as streamlined but I suck at building for loops and was just operating for something that worked out the gate. //Set position and direction of hitman teams zCurator setPos [2373, 6767, 5]; if (!isNil "H1Actual") then {H1Actual setDir 0; H1Actual setPos [2373, 6767, 0];} else {}; if (!isNil "H12IC") then {H12IC setDir 0; H12IC setPos [2373.5, 6765, 0]} else {}; if (!isNil "H1Medic") then {H1Medic setDir 0; H1Medic setPos [2373, 6769, 0]} else {}; if (!isNil "H1Operator") then {H1Operator setDir 0; H1Operator setPos [2372, 6763, 0]} else {}; if (!isNil "H2TL") then {H2TL setDir 0; H2TL setPos [2376.9, 6766.8, 0]} else {}; if (!isNil "H22IC") then {H22IC setDir 0; H22IC setPos [2375, 6766, 0]} else {}; if (!isNil "H2Medic") then {H2Medic setDir 0; H2Medic setPos [2374, 6764,0]} else {}; if (!isNil "H2Operator") then {H2Operator setDir 0; H2Operator setPos [2374, 6762,0]} else {}; //Disable Simulation of Hitman teams if (!isNil "H1Actual") then {H1Actual enableSimulationGlobal False; H1Actual allowdamage False;} else {}; if (!isNil "H12IC") then {H12IC enableSimulationGlobal False; H12IC allowdamage false;} else {}; if (!isNil "H1Medic") then {H1Medic enableSimulationGlobal False; H1Medic allowdamage False;} else {}; if (!isNil "H1Operator") then {H1Operator enableSimulationGlobal False; H1Operator allowdamage False;} else {}; if (!isNil "H2TL") then {H2TL enableSimulationGlobal False; H2TL allowdamage False;} else {}; if (!isNil "H22IC") then {H22IC enableSimulationGlobal False; H22IC allowdamage False;} else {}; if (!isNil "H2Medic") then {H2Medic enableSimulationGlobal False; H2Medic allowdamage False;} else {}; if (!isNil "H2Operator") then {H2Operator enableSimulationGlobal False; H2Operator allowdamage False;} else {}; "Simulation Disabled, Video Playing" remoteExec ["Hint", zCurator]; //UiSleep combined duration of cut scene, broken up for timing of music track with video.

Hey all, I'm relatively new to Arma 3 scripting and have run into an issue. I recently figured out that I could activate triggers synced to show/hide modules with a variable set with an add-action, essentially allowing me to control entire swaths of triggers with a button press, something I have found to be far more reliable than triggers activated by the physical presence of a unit. What I have is a set of triggers that simply have the variable and a semi-colon: StageOneActivated; And then with an add-action added with an init.sqf, I have: Controller addAction [ "Begin Phase One", {StageOneActivated = true; Controller removeAction (_this select 2); }]; Which sets the StageOneActivated to true which activates the trigger and removes the now-useless addaction from the list. Both locally and testing in local multiplayer via LAN this works flawlessly, but on the server the triggers simply don't respond. I know the init.sqf is working because the addAction's are present. And I know the addAction is working because it's removing the addaction after use. This implies the variables are whats not working correctly. I went into my init.sqf and decided to call the variables on mission start and set them, so I have the line: StageOneActivated = False; This has made no impact, neither in the locally tested version which still works, nor on the server which still fails. I've read through the documentation on global variables and I think this is probably what I need to do: to call the variables globally in the MP mission but I am struggling with the syntax. Do I just add publicVariable "StageOneActivated"; to the init.sqf after the line where I set the variable state as StageOneActivated = false; or do I need to call the public variable in the add-action as well? or is there another way to name and set these variables that I am missing entirely? Any help is appreciated. I want to start using variables more to really add some oomph into my missions and this is something that is going to come up a LOT.
