working in multiplayer

[22jacket]

Hi..I have got a script..where targets get shot..drop down and then pop back up,,but i cannot get it to work in multiplayer..can any one help...

script below..

?!(local server):exit
_targ = _this select 0
_x = getpos _targ select 0
_y = getpos _targ select 1
_type = typeof _targ
_dir = getdir _targ

~5
deletevehicle _targ

_newtarg = _type camcreate [_x, _y, 0.9]
_newtarg addeventhandler ["killed",{_this exec "popup.sqs"}]
_newtarg setdir _dir
_newtarg setdamage 0.8

exit

What is not working? What happens when you run the script? What should happen? How do you execute the script? If you give a little more information it might be possible to help you.

hi...sorry about that,...the script makes a target go down when shot..then come back up 5 secs later..when in multiplayer...i can see them..pop up and down when shot..but the other players shoot once and cannot see the target come back up......any ideas..

[subroc]

the camCreate is a local command and doesnÂ't work in multiplayer, try using createVehicle instead.

[22jacket]

do i just delete camcreate and insert create vehicle and save...

[bedges]

yup...

Code: [Select]

?!(local server):exit
_targ = _this select 0
_x = getpos _targ select 0
_y = getpos _targ select 1
_type = typeof _targ
_dir = getdir _targ

~5
deletevehicle _targ

_newtarg = _type createvehicle [_x, _y, 0.9]
_newtarg addeventhandler ["killed",{_this exec "popup.sqs"}]
_newtarg setdir _dir
_newtarg setdamage 0.8

exit
whether or not it works is another matter entirely...

[22jacket]

no joy..tried i with the same results...

[Garcia]

if you are trying to create a unit use createunit instead...

[22jacket]

all i want to do is get a target E to come up and down when shot...with a 5-10 second interval.....or just reset the targets when they have been shot at...

[Garcia]

well, does it work in multiplayer?...errm, of course I mean does it work in editor when you try it, or doesn't it work at all?

[22jacket]

it works in editor and online..but only i can see the targets coming back up...when i played with other players..once they shoot down a target they casnnot see it any more..but i can

Do you have a GameLogic on your map called server?

[Flaber]

There is no need to delete and create the targetE, you only have to setDammage to 0 or 0.x the targetE

I have a firing camp and when you go close to a soldier (with and addAction) he popup the targets using setdammage.


I can give you the script if you want.. ah.. and work 100% in mp.

[22jacket]

 that would be great cheers...cheers/...thank you...u can get me at jacket11@htomail.com
once again thanks

I prefer to left the script here, so anybody can use it.

In this case there are 6 firing camps (sniper ..mg ..... )

Things to take care of:
- each targetE has a var name, use your owns to identify each target.
in this case ... for "campo1" the var names of the targetE objects are:
ac_1
ac_2
ac_3
....
- As you can see i have use two ways to respawn the targets...
one by one (ac_1 SetDammage 0.0;)

and using and array of objects with a foreach sentence:
_ldra4 = [ra_31,ra_32,ra_33,ra_34,ra_35,ra_36,ra_37,ra_38,ra_39]

"_x setDammage 0.0" foreach _ldra4

this second one is more clean

If there is something that you don't understand.. please ask.. I'll try to do my best with my english.
