typetext2 to only one client at time
Hybrid V posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hey folks, I'm a noob when it comes to scripting so please excuse my ignorance. To my understanding typetext & typetext2 are global events. The reason why I ask is because I want to be able to play out text to a player's client when they respawn in but not to the other clients on the server at the same time. Let me elaborate. Example: Player One dies in the field then respawns. Once he spawns only he sees the typetext2 notifying him of his location, but the other members of his squad out in the field don't see the typetext2 Player One sees. The idea is I want to avoid spamming players with type text each time a player is killed and respawns. Right now this is what I have in my OnPlayerRespawn.sqf //Loadout Previous kit saved from OnPlayerKilled.sqf removeAllWeapons player; removeGoggles player; removeHeadgear player; removeVest player; removeUniform player; removeAllAssignedItems player; clearAllItemsFromBackpack player; removeBackpack player; player setUnitLoadout(player getVariable["Saved_Loadout",[]]); // [ [ ["TAVANAKA AIRBASE,","align = 'center' = '1' size = '0.7' font='PuristaBold'"], ["TANOA","align = 'center' = '1' size = '0.7'","#aaaaaa"], ["","<br/>"], ["CHARLIE COMPANY OPERATIONS CENTER","align = 'center' = '1' size = '1.0'"] ] ] spawn BIS_fnc_typeText2; This works well and good but inevitably causes the aforementioned spamming when multiple players need to respawn. I looked at other work arounds like delaying the text from triggering again after say 300 seconds but I'm not entirely sure how to implement that, again I'm a bit of a noob but slowly learning. I hope I made my case clear and look forward to any guidance you guys can offer. Thanks!
