    Typically JSRS, enhanced movement mods apply locally, so on client (or hosted server).

    These improvements are optional. They don't need (fortunately) to be remote executed. Usually, it's also the case for mods with display/HUD.

    Server administrators can decide to allow them at the clients' discretion. Probably same for MAO blood mist because there is no real need to have the same effect on each PC.

    On the other hand, some mods, or even commands are made for server (something like skipTime, weather... as example).

    Note:

    This kind of "waitUntil" error happens also with BI scripts. I recently got this error when running a virtual CAS module (Vanilla).

    The error comes from the requester.fsm (script id 57)

    script:

    _provider setVariable ["BIS_SUPP_requester", player, TRUE];
    _provider setVariable ["BIS_SUPP_supportRunCoords", _supportCoords, TRUE];

    player kbTell [_provider, "BIS_SUPP_protocol", _supportType + "_Request", BIS_SUPP_channels select ([WEST, EAST, RESISTANCE] find side group player)];

    _i = 1;
    while {markerPos format ["BIS_SUPP_mrkr_%1", _i] distance [0,0,0] > 0} do {_i = _i + 1};
    _mrkrName = format ["BIS_SUPP_mrkr_%1", _i];

    if (_virtual) then {

    };

    _deleteVirtual = FALSE;

    Difficult to reproduce. Use the virtual CAS intensively.

    Yes, it's possible (your code should work as far as _killer is defined,  and myMoneyImage also... say common to all PC), but not advisable.

     

    Your mission event handler (MEH) "entityKilled" must run on every PC (init.sqf,  or initPlayer.sqf if you don't need it on dedi server).

    So, you don't need to remote exec this kind of function. As rule of thumb, it's preferable to run something locally instead of remote execute it. (net is a bottleneck)

     

    Usually, there is already MEH "entityKilled" for whatever reason in the scenario (or think about it instead of EH "killed" or even MPEH "MPKilled") .

    To keep some code local, just write something like:

    if (local _killer) then {...}; 

    Think about _instigator , (see MEH) It's more reliable.

    Don't forget myMoneyImage for everyone.

    Thx for your answere ! but it didnt changed something on the problem with the wall, also i can see players names if they are in a vehicle but if i get out i cant see their names if they are still in the vehicle, you have any other idears?

     

    (lineIntersectsSurfaces (count = 0)  didnt worked... allways called a error)

     

    Sure lineIntersectsSurfaces (count = 0) never worked as is. That demands a little reading on Biki. Same for ASL positions, you don't understand.

     

    try: 

    onEachFrame {
  _units = player nearEntities [["CAManBase","air","landVehicle","ship"], 17];
  _units = _units - [player];
    {

    If I'm right, list, thisList work with the pre-condition of the trigger, i.e. detected by the trigger (BLUFOR present...)

    Perhaps, you should consider a "none" trigger (no list) but scripted conditions like:

    west countSide (allUnits select {_x inArea thisTrigger}) >0

    or even:

    waitUntil {!isNull player}; west countSide (allUnits select {_x inArea thisTrigger}) >0

    What BIKI says:

    Since Arma 3 v1.93.145618 returning anything other than true or false from condition will result in appropriate type error.

    And the best example is:

    // bad waitUntil { bank getVariable "money" > 0 };

    // good waitUntil { bank getVariable ["money", 0] > 0 };

     

    But further:

    For some unknown reason if you have waitUntil loop active and game is saved/loaded, some variables in the expression may appear undefined for a short time. As a workaround, assign expression to a variable and make sure it is defined before waitUntil checks it:

    waitUntil { private _expression = var1 && (var2 > 10); !isNil "_expression" && { _expression } };

     

    That's a real problem. IMHO, no matter, the way you:

    waituntil {count list _bzc > 1}; (or waituntil { if (count list _bzc > 1) then {true} else {false} };)

    _bzc must be defined or secured:

    If you have any doubt, or error message:

    waitUntil { private _expression = (count list _bzc > 1); !isNil "_expression" && { _expression } };

     

    Note 1: if defined (in the true private scope) just above, probably a simple sleep could suffice:

    private _bzC = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", getPos player];

    ...

    waitUntil { sleep 1; count list _bzc > 1};

     

    Note 2: for trigger(s), I'd rather use setTriggerActivation just for the area check and setTriggerStatements with count, instead of trigger pre-condition + list.  In other words, waitUntil usage is weird in a trigger.

    I am messing around with your code, trying to reverse engineer it so it can be used as holdaction. This I attempt as the double left click is interfering with the ravage food/drink consummation feature. As in, when I drink, I also repack my mag;)

     

    I am having a a hard (but fun) time replicating your "MGImags" variable to suit my need as I do not fully understand the following line:

      

    
  player setVariable ["MGImags", +((magazinesAmmoFull player) select {(lbdata [_idc,_selectedIndex]) in _x})];

    I believe I understand that you are gathering the magazines in an array here.

    magazinesAmmoFull player = all magazines in the weapon and inventory

    _idc = the location (uniform, vest, backpack) referred to by 619,633,638

    _selectedIndex = the index position 0,1,2,... in the uniform, vest or backpack

     

    from the (magazinesAmmoFull player), you seem to be selecting out only specific information via expression (array select expression).

    Is this gathering the mags that are the same type as the one you LB double clicked?

     

     

    Yes but that works with inventory (double click). Nothing to do with hold action.

    I am trying to do the same here, this should filter out any magazines that do not have the same classname as the first magazine in my "magaziesAmmoFull player" array. (once this all works, I ll have to find a way to consider all different magazine types in my inventory). 

    
_magtype1 = magazinesAmmoFull player select 0 select 0;
private _Magarray = +((magazinesAmmoFull player) select {_magtype1 in _x});

     

     

    Yes, same as   +((magazinesAmmoFull player) select {_x#0 == (magazinesAmmoFull player select 0 select 0 )})

    This is where I am at with my holdaction version right now.

    _wpn is undefined when running this code:

     

     

    When a local variable is undefined, define it. I did it in my code.

    Don't reverse engine this kind of code for a hold action. Just think about what you want to do with it. For example, repacking the current magazine of the player. Mixing hold action and inventory controls is probably a waste of time.

     

    I can understand how:  the double left click is interfering with the ravage food/drink consummation feature. As in, when I drink, I also repack my mag;)

    In fact, double-clicking on a magazine like chemlight (and probably your case with drink) will not repack the current mags but reload your weapon (with an existing mag).

    Looking for better feature.

     

    EDITED: DONE.

    Now, you can repack only the mags of your current weapon. So, the other mags like chemlights, drinks or foods should not interfere.

    Don't remoteExec everything. It's a waste of net resource.

    You just have to use global commands for (old) commands I gave you. If I'm right, all the other ones have already global effect (EG), in initPlayerLocal.

     

     BIS_fnc_setIdentity is EL. That means, when you run it, you get the effect locally. BUT, this function is already "customized" to make it work in MP and JIP compatible (see BIKI). So you can write:

    if (isServer) then {[this,"WhiteHead_04_cfaces_lrrpcamo02",""] call BIS_fnc_setIdentity};

    in the init field of the playable unit.

    Always mind for syntax! findNearestEnemy, addWaypoint knowsAbout 

    If you want to script something consistent without any experience, start writing light conditions/events for light scenario, in plain language.

    Then, mind for the parameters and results for each command/function.

    So make difference between types: string, object, array, group, number, code...

    You can add a waypoint for a group, not an array.

    For an array of groups (as _grpsGuarding), you can write {_wp = _x addWaypoint [<some position>,0]; _wp set..... } forEach _grpsGuarding;

    Here, findNearestEnemy usage is wrong (not saying this command is rotten).

     

    I give you the solution for a waypoint back to the initial positions:

    _grpGuarding = [grp1,grp2,...];

    _grpAndPos = _grpGuarding apply {[_x,getPos leader _x]};

    { _grp = _x #0; _pos = _x #1; _wp = _grp addWaypoint [_pos,0]; _wp setWaypointType "GUARD"; _wp setWaypointBehaviour "SAFE"; _wp setWaypointCombatMode "GREEN"; _wp setWaypointSpeed "LIMITED"} forEach _grpAndPos;

    No.

    _grpGuardingPos = _grpGuarding apply {getpos leader _x};

    (as far as a position of a group is its leader's one).

    You'll return something like:

    _grpGuarding = [grp1,grp2,...]

    and

    _grpGuardingPos = [[xxx1,yyy1,0],[xxx2,yyy2,0],...]

     

    Now if you prefer to couple grps and their positions:

    _grpAndPos = _grpGuarding apply {[_x,getPos leader _x]};

    returning:

    _grpAndPos = [ [grp1,[xxx1,yyy1,0]], [grp2,[xxx2,yyy2,0]], ...];

    From initPlayerLocal.sqf, you run the script locally. So, that can't work 100%, because you miss the global commands: addWeaponGlobal  & addBackpackGlobal.

    [object, face, speaker, pitch, callsign] call BIS_fnc_setIdentity is effects_local.gifSo remoteExec it. but it's a special function.  FOLLOW BIKI for this command.

     

    Now, if you don't need to change anything from start, but just customizing your units, edit loadouts in editor. That's simpler.

    MAGAZINES REPACK

     

    Hi all,

    Here is a simple script for repacking magazines by double-clicking on them in inventory. Just add it in init.sqf or better, in initPlayerLocal.sqf

     

    parameters:   NONE

MGI_fnc_repack = {
