Hi, im learning scripting recently and i cant get my script to work in Multiplayer,
It works in my Editor but in multiplayer it only shows the addAction to place the barrier.
Script:
Init_AddAction = {
while {true} do {
waitUntil{(alive player)};
if(alive player) then
{
if(side player == west) then
{
player addAction["Tatort absperren<t color='#6699FF'> /_!_\</t>",{call SetzeBarriere;}]; // addAction to place Barrier - team blufor
}
else
{
if (side player == east) then
{
player addAction["Unfallort absperren<t color='#FFE500'> /_!_\</t>",{call SetzeBarriere;}];// addAction to place Barrier - team opfor
};
};
};
waitUntil{(!alive player)};
};
};
if(isServer) then
{
[[Barriere],"Init_AddAction",[east,west],true] call BIS_fnc_MP;
};
Entferne_Barrieren = {
while {count nearestObjects[player,["RoadBarrier_F"],30] > 0} do
{
waitUntil{(alive player)};
if(alive player) then
{
Remove_Action = player addAction["Entferne Absperrung<t color='#66FF00'> /_!_\</t>",{ // addAction to delete the Barrier
Barriere = position player nearObjects ["RoadBarrier_F", 30];
_Remove_Item = (Barriere select 0);
deleteVehicle _Remove_Item;
sleep 0.1;
if(count nearestObjects[player,["RoadBarrier_F"],30] < 1) then
{
player removeAction Remove_Action;
};
}];
};
waitUntil{(!alive player)};
};
};
SetzeBarriere = { // placingBarrier
if ( count nearestObjects[player,["RoadBarrier_F"],30] < 2 ) then
{
Barriere = createVehicle ["RoadBarrier_F",(player modelToWorld [0,5,0]),[],0,"CAN_COLLIDE"];
Barriere setDir getDir player;
if( count nearestObjects[player,["RoadBarrier_F"],30] > 0 ) then
{
[[Barriere],"Entferne_Barrieren",[east,west],true] call BIS_fnc_MP; // jumping to delete Barrier
player removeAction Remove_Action;
};
}
else
{
hint "Du kannst nur 2 Barriere im Umkreis von 30m platzieren!"; // you can only place 2 Barriers in range of 30m
};
};
please help me to fix it, i also tried to add the action to the barrier, but then im the only one who can remove it. i want that Blufor and Opfor can spawn it and every Blutfor/Opfor member should be able to delete it.
Thanks.

Create a sqf file named initPlayerLocal.sqf, put these in it:
//initPlayerLocal.sqf
Entferne_Barrieren =
{
while {count nearestObjects[player,["RoadBarrier_F"],30] > 0} do
{
waitUntil{(alive player)};
if(alive player) then
{
Remove_Action = player addAction["Entferne Absperrung<t color='#66FF00'> /_!_\</t>",{ // addAction to delete the Barrier
Barriere = position player nearObjects ["RoadBarrier_F", 30];
_Remove_Item = (Barriere select 0);
deleteVehicle _Remove_Item;
sleep 0.1;
if(count nearestObjects[player,["RoadBarrier_F"],30] < 1) then
{
player removeAction Remove_Action;
};
}];
};
waitUntil{(!alive player)};
};
};
SetzeBarriere =
{ // placingBarrier
if ( count nearestObjects[player,["RoadBarrier_F"],30] < 2 ) then
{
Barriere = createVehicle ["RoadBarrier_F",(player modelToWorld [0,5,0]),[],0,"CAN_COLLIDE"];
Barriere setDir getDir player;
if( count nearestObjects[player,["RoadBarrier_F"],30] > 0 ) then
{
[[Barriere],"Entferne_Barrieren",[east,west],true] call BIS_fnc_MP; // jumping to delete Barrier
player removeAction Remove_Action;
};
}
else
{
hint "Du kannst nur 2 Barriere im Umkreis von 30m platzieren!"; // you can only place 2 Barriers in range of 30m
};
};
Create another file name onPlayerRespawn.sqf and put this:
if(side player == west) then
{
player addAction["Tatort absperren<t color='#6699FF'> /_!_\</t>",{call SetzeBarriere;}]; // addAction to place Barrier - team blufor
};
if (side player == east) then
{
player addAction["Unfallort absperren<t color='#FFE500'> /_!_\</t>",{call SetzeBarriere;}];// addAction to place Barrier - team opfor
};
Hi, thanks for your reply.
wouldnt it be better if i execute a script with the part i should put in initLocalPlayer, from initLocalPlayer ?
and is it even possible that the addAction can open a other script just by the name of the function ?
Functions are essentially global variables, variables with the data type "code", so yes when you have "call FUNCTION" it will run the code within that function. So when I put those two functions in initPlayerLocal, all players get each function defined on their client, therefore, they can call those functions at anytime. You shouldn't need the BIS_fnc_MP here since create/deleteVehicle are global effect commands.
Wow, is there anything where i can read all this ? or do i have to check every command on BI-Wiki ?
btw would this work then ?
//initLocalPlayer.sqf
[] execVM "Barrier.sqf";
//Barrier.sqf
Entferne_Barrieren =
{
while {count nearestObjects[player,["RoadBarrier_F"],30] > 0} do
{
waitUntil{(alive player)};
if(alive player) then
{
Remove_Action = player addAction["Entferne Absperrung<t color='#66FF00'> /_!_\</t>",{ // addAction to delete the Barrier
Barriere = position player nearObjects ["RoadBarrier_F", 30];
_Remove_Item = (Barriere select 0);
deleteVehicle _Remove_Item;
sleep 0.1;
if(count nearestObjects[player,["RoadBarrier_F"],30] < 1) then
{
player removeAction Remove_Action;
};
}];
};
waitUntil{(!alive player)};
};
};
SetzeBarriere =
{ // placingBarrier
if ( count nearestObjects[player,["RoadBarrier_F"],30] < 2 ) then
{
Barriere = createVehicle ["RoadBarrier_F",(player modelToWorld [0,5,0]),[],0,"CAN_COLLIDE"];
Barriere setDir getDir player;
if( count nearestObjects[player,["RoadBarrier_F"],30] > 0 ) then
{
[[Barriere],"Entferne_Barrieren",[east,west],true] call BIS_fnc_MP; // jumping to delete Barrier
player removeAction Remove_Action;
};
}
else
{
hint "Du kannst nur 2 Barriere im Umkreis von 30m platzieren!"; // you can only place 2 Barriers in range of 30m
};
};
//onPlayerRespawn.sqf
if(side player == west) then
{
player addAction["Tatort absperren<t color='#6699FF'> /_!_\</t>",{call SetzeBarriere;}]; // addAction to place Barrier - team blufor
};
if (side player == east) then
{
player addAction["Unfallort absperren<t color='#FFE500'> /_!_\</t>",{call SetzeBarriere;}];// addAction to place Barrier - team opfor
};
To make it "short", addAction works fine in MP. You can place it in init.sqf or initPlayerLocal.sqf depending on what you want to obtain. init.sqf is run for each player connecting + server. So, it needs some adjustments if you don't want to duplicate the addAction.
addAction is not persistent. So you need to re-run it after respawn. That's the reason why usually the code is also placed in onPlayerRespawn.sqf or in a EH "respawn". Some missions start with respawn so you need this double addAction. On the other hand; onPlayerRespawn is always run in... SP! It's weird. You can easily duplicate the addAction.
There are so much to write about addAction.
Keep on mind you can add conditions in it. It's useful for make it appear in the menu (but the addAction is here and CPU has to check it).
You can also check if an addAction still exists (useful in while loop checking for new unit/object to be treated): if (isNil "my_action") then {my_action = spawned_unit addAction [...]}

We are discussing about addAction applied to player.
Then, you'll need onplayerRespawn.sqf or in EH "respawn" for sure if you want to keep it after respawn, because your player is another "body". In fact, addAction remains in dead corpse and you can have it when approaching it, but your new "body" has lost it.
Removing your addAction is your problem, when you don't need it any more.
Duplication of addAction occurs when the code is run several times, for a reason or another, (or approaching your corpse after respawn).
