Getting Snyper's SP/MP Support Pack to work in MP

[Ranger]

I need help getting the Support Pack to work in MP.

Specifically, I'm trying to make 2 squads of 9 men each rappel from two separate UH-60s.  I want them to rappel automatically without the player having to click on the map.  I gave the UH-60s each a series of waypoints, as they are in separate groups.  When they get within 200 meters of a particular waypoint, one trigger per UH-60 activates the following code:

For the first UH-60:
[ "RAPPEL",[uh1,[squad1]] ] exec "\SNYSptPack\interface.sqs"

For the second UH-60:
[ "RAPPEL",[uh2,[squad2]] ] exec "\SNYSptPack\interface.sqs"

According to the Support Pack manual, this will cause any people in the choppers' cargo spaces to rappel immediately.

In the Mission Editor Preview mode, this works perfectly.  The men rappel, and the choppers continue to follow their waypoints.

In MP, if the host player is the leader of one squad and there are no clients, the code works perfectly, again.

In MP if the host is not a squad leader, or if a client is in any of the groups, the code does not work.  The first few men will rappel, until it is the host or client player's turn to rappel, at which point the code ceases to function.

Also, as long as no players are in a particular squad (i.e., the group has only AI), that squad will rappel successfully, but the rope will not disappear from the chopper.

Any help in getting this to work properly will be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply, snYper.  As you may have discovered by now, I sent you my mission.   If you didn't get it, let me know.

Thanks!

I've had exactly the same thing happen.

Is there a general fix for this (as I notice this post is pretty old now) or should I do the same and sned the zipped mission?

thanks in advance

I have a support pack PBO that I have appended many of the fixes that have been posted, but snYpir hasn't updated.  If you'd like, I could email it to you and test it out to see if it solves your problems.
