Some questions about scripts execution in MP

[Mandoble]

Yep, the code executed via action menus is always executed locally (for the player or unit that activated the action).

On the other side, trigger's code is executed everywhere.

For example:
the code of your action would have only: action_activator = _this select 1;
the condition of a new trigger: !isNull action_activator
the code of your trigger: res = [action_activator]execVM"computer.sqf"

computer.sqf will be executed everywhere once action_activator has the unit that activated the action, and inside computer.sqf you will to check locallity of the passed unit to make sure the switchmove is executed only when local (_this select 0), as switchMove and playMove works only when passed unit is local.

Thanks Mandoble for the insight...however i am not entirely sure what i need to do 
I am guessing that in laymans terms i do not need to have a GameLogic named Server or have !?(Local Server):exit at the beginning of my script?

Please forgive my ignorance but i literaly have no idea how to interpret your answer, sorry but i'm realitively slow at picking things up

From what i can gather i need to check in my script when the Action has been activated with a trigger?

[Mandoble]

The action script attached to your computer:

Code: [Select]

// computer_action.sqf
(_this select 0) removeAction (_this select 2);
action_activator = _this select 1;

Then you add a trigger to your map, condition:

Code: [Select]

!isNull action_activator
OnAct.:

Code: [Select]

res = [action_activator]execVM"gettingcomputerhd.sqf"


Code: [Select]

// gettingcomputerhd.sqf
// _unit is who activated the action
_unit = _this select 0;
// whatever you already have there
// In some cases use
if (local _unit) then
{
   switchMove whatever;
};

Oh yes now i see it, thanks for taking the time to clear that up for me..my head gets easily confused when i see pieces of code i have never used before...but it makes sense to me now, cheers mate
