Fill munition box in multiplayer

[BlackJackVr]

So, i've done a script (called by an action i've attached to a munition box) that add new magazines and weapons in the munition box. This works only on the server but the client can't see any difference. How can i make it works on all pc connected to the match?

Thanks

Here's a great script, I put in comments in the script itself telling you how to use it (dummy proof)

This is my "guns" crate - I have another I use for the LAW rockets and AA stuff.... but you'll figure it out

Code: [Select]

; Instructions:
;
; 1. In your mission directory, make a subdirectory called "reload" and put this
; script in it called "ammobox_1.sqs"
;
; 2. Make a crate in the game
;
; 3. PUt this as it's NAME:  ammo_1
;
; 4. Put this in the item's INIT field:   [ammo_1] exec "reload\ammobox_1.sqs
;
; Increment the ammobox tag for each individual box after that first one to load others
; IE: [ammo_2]... [ammo_5]...

; NOTE - This is my USA GUNS crate

; Get the crate parameter given
_crate = _this Select 0

; REMOVE STOCK ITEMS FROM THE CRATE:

ClearMagazineCargo _crate
ClearWeaponCargo _crate


; ADD THE ITEMS TO THE CRATE:

; West Weapons

This is my script and it works, but in multiplayer it works only on the client who exec the script, and i want that when someone reloads the crate also to the other players the crate is reloaded.

I've tried also with: publicVariable "BoxName" to share the value with all pc but it doesn't work.

Could you tell me how you trigger the script? That would provide valuable information on the cause of the problem. Because it's pretty weird that only one client can see the result of the script.

Note that I'm not a good multiplayer scripter, but here's my solution (although I don't know much about the mission / activation of ammo script).

Let's say you want to activate the script when any US soldier comes into a forest. You place down a trigger covering the forest and select " west", "present" and "switch". Give the trigger a name if you want to, might be good to always do so, but it's not required for this method.

In the On Activation field type:

Code: [Select]

ammoIncrease = true; publicVariable "ammoIncrease";

Create another trigger, don't bother about the other fields/selection boxes but go to the condition field. In the field write down:

Code: [Select]

ammoIncreaseIn the On Activation field: [] exec "YourScript.sqs";

Then place a game logic named server.

Open up your script and paste the following code at the start of it:

Code: [Select]

?!(local Server): exit
Didn't have the chance to test this, but I think that it could work, the server executes the script and every client should then see the result.

[BlackJackVr]

The scripted is executed when a player uses and action i've added to the box... probably is for this reason it doesn't work as i want. Now i'll try with a normal trigger.
