Hi, I have a problem about variables and multiplayer, here is my example:


init.sqf

publicVariable "A","points";
_null = [] execVM "engine.sqf";

engine.sqf

if (isServer) then {
	A = 0;
	publicVariable "A";
	points = 0;
	publicVariable "points";
};


if (isServer) then {
	while {true} do {
		if (B == 1) then {
			points = points +1;
			sleep 1;
		}

Okay, the problem is when player1 has A = 10, maybe player2 has A = 8
Any solutions to this? Thanks

BIS_fnc_MP is your best buddy for MP scripting. you can sync that across all clients by doing something similar to this:

Put this in your init.sqf

AUSMD_fnc_syncVariable =
{
     _var = _this select 0;
     _value = _this select 1;
     _var = _value;
};

then to sync your variable across all clients you execute the function using this:

[["yourvariablenamehere",yourvaluehere],"AUSMD_fnc_syncVariable",nil,false] spawn BIS_fnc_MP;

Might not work, maybe it will. let me know if it doesn't and i'll try to find a way to fix it.


EDIT:

Also you can only use publicVariable "varhere";
if you want to sync more than one variable then you need to make another line with publicvariable "varhere"; But personally I found publicVariable to be broken in the way that it doesn't actually sync across all clients hilariously, maybe it was just for what I was using it for (maybe its fixed?).

Sorry for late response, I solved it with publicVariable "myVariable";

Thanks for the help ^^
