Comrades in Arms Discussion Board

First, thank you Alwarren for taking the time for testing the mission.

Now the problem is a created trigger for simulated distraction involving a spawned ammunition on a truck and supposedly enemy unit reacting and relocating to the scene of explosion.
Worked just fine when I tested it on editor but of course on dedicated it's a different issue.

Here's what's launched on BLUFOR activated trigger when approaching a task:

Code:

nul = execVM ""scripts\launch.sqf"";hint parsetext format [""<t size='1.0' color='#FF00FF' align='center'>%1</t> Use the radio to signal Nikos about the distraction"", name player];";

And here's the launch.sqf:

Code:

[] spawn {

Â  Â  Â  Â   private ["_trg"];

Â  Â  Â  Â   _trg = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector",getPos player];

Â  Â  Â  Â   _trg setTriggerArea[5,5,0,true];

Â  Â  Â  Â   _trg setTriggerActivation["CHARLIE","PRESENT",true];

Â  Â  Â  Â   _trg setTriggerStatements["this", "nuldf = [] execVM 'scripts\kaboom.sqf';", ""];

Â  Â  Â  Â   3 setRadioMsg "Ask for a distraction" ;

Â  Â  };

Here is the kaboom.sqf:

Code:

if (isServer)

then

{

radon = true;

publicVariable "radon";

bomb = "R_80mm_HE" createvehicle getmarkerpos "pom";

};

Of course this one is missing a dedicated check as well as "private [_x]" var list....
The enemy units waypoint condition is tied to the "radon" variable.

I bet someone spots immediatelly what's missing?
Any help appreciated.

The general idea is that the sniper team can only take the required shot from a pier which has a motorized patrol near and it needs to be distracted elsewhere with a radio call.

My pleasure. Knight and me played it yesterday, and we absolutely LOVED it.

We got the radio trigger and the hint, so that part worked. What didn't work was the kaboom part. If I were to venture a guess, then I'd say the trigger only runs on the client and not on the server.

I would recommend to change the trigger statements in launch.sqf:

Code:

_trg setTriggerStatements ["this", [""'scripts\kaboom.sq"",""BIS_fnc_execVM"",false] spawn BIS_fnc_MP;, ""];

(No guarantee this is syntax error free, I am having a migrane right now and might not be able to think straight enough)

This should run the script guaranteed on the server only.

Well, I tried that with fixing the typos but no-go...
Also modified as

Code:

_trg setTriggerStatements [[["this"], ["scripts\kaboom.sqf"],"BIS_fnc_execVM", false,] spawn BIS_fnc_MP;, ""];

But it says missing a "[" etc...
Maybe I should change the whole thing as addAction?

This one seems to be working:

Code:

_trg setTriggerStatements ["this", "[""scripts\kaboom.sqf"",""BIS_fnc_execVM"",false] spawn BIS_fnc_MP;", ""];

Argh, didn't see that message before. Yeah, there are quotes missing around the statement in your previous version, that's why it doesn't work.

Sorry for not replying.
