Making Text global

[pazuzu]

I'm trying to make a little script to display text & teleport players into planes that are in fleight.

The script is called by addaction.

The Mission starts with two female Amazons getting shot down in a chopper & players have to find the downed chopper & pilots to get info from them using addaction. This should activate script to create text(I'm using titletext & sidechat) & to teleport players into planes which are already on way to next objective.

I dont much about scripting but here is what I tried:

info.sqs:

a1 setCombatMode "BLUE"
a2 setCombatMode "BLUE"
a3 setCombatMode "BLUE"
a4 setCombatMode "BLUE"
a5 setCombatMode "BLUE"
a6 setCombatMode "BLUE"
a7 setCombatMode "BLUE"
a8 setCombatMode "BLUE"
a9 setCombatMode "BLUE"
a10 setCombatMode "BLUE"
a11 setCombatMode "BLUE"
a12 setCombatMode "BLUE"

The text only shows for player that chooses action and if the player is still in boat when plane.sqs is called they dont teleport and are stuck at 1rst obj.

This is probobly over my head but I'd like to try to make this happen.

Thanks.

only way that comes to mind...

because ur using the action menu it will only effect the player that uses the action...

so in the action script use somthing like:

Code: [Select]

showmytext=true
publicVariable "showmytext"
exit
in your init.sqs

Code: [Select]

[] exec "filename.sqs"
in filename.sqs

Code: [Select]

@showmytext

all your code here
theres probely an easyer way but thats the only way that comes to my mind

cheers,
Phil

If you are going to display more than just a little bit of text like this, then CopyrightPhilly's method is going to get pretty annoying.

Try using the CoC's Network Services II for an easy solution. Their "fnRemoteCall" function is exactly what you need.
