#is it just the loadout that isn't
reef estuary
pm'd you my test mission
dense shoal
This is my first time creating a thread. I hope it worked
reef estuary
so, description.ext overwrites any attributes you set in the editor
i was forcing specific things
dense shoal
Man wth. I have now modified my des.etx to match yours and still wont work in editor. Im gonna just copy and paste your files now and see.
Your files dont work for me either. The only thing that leads is some editor setting that is different than yours I guess
reef estuary
standby
dense shoal
gotta be a multiplayer setting
My settings
I also changed respawnonstart to 0 so it loads me right in without having to place a spawn point
reef estuary
did my respawnonstart as 0 and its fine for me
send me your mission folder
wait
are you running this on multiplayer?
or singleplayer preview
reef estuary
add
hint "onPlayerRespawn.sqf Firing";
at the top of your file
i want to see if it is even firing
reef estuary
go to the debug console
and type face player
and see what it returns
make sure you click local
reef estuary
and are you playing as the command guy?
dense shoal
yeah
reef estuary
isnt that the head you wanted?
dense shoal
yeah but if i switch to scout and kill command. command comes back with different clothes and face
and vice versa
the only way to test the loadout is to change it from the default unit loadout. so i switch to something obvious so that when they repawn I will know if it works
so both command and scout have flight suits (which differs from their default loadout)
when they repawn they have their default loadout
reef estuary
what mods are you runnign
dense shoal
whoa.
something is way off
check this out
I went back to the version I had working with all the remoteExecs (before the if then instuction you gave)
this version I have working on my dedicated server. it works great. just tested it on the server 5 mins ago.
this version DOESNT work in the editor. thats bonkers right?
Im restarting my computer to see if it help. brb
reef estuary
just send me both versions
dense shoal
will do rn
the ones that work are the slots that say "IPL without interface" or something like that. i was testing a bunch of them to see what worked
What you sent me. has your file plus my initplayer local when sets the face on mission start
reef estuary
what map is this. you left out the map extensions on the folder
dense shoal
cam lao nam
I just seleted all files in the root folder. I didnt know that it wouldnt include map. sorry
dense shoal
Ive tsted it without as well to make sure that wasnt it
On the finished product how would the face be applied at mission start without initplayer local? It would only be applied after respawn?
reef estuary
respawnOnStart if it is 0 or 1 will run onPlayerRespawn.sqf upon start
dense shoal
Ohhhh but loading into the game with respawnOnStart = 0; IS respawning
reef estuary
correct
dense shoal
well either way it still didnt work. ima restart something is very bad with the computer because my original file should still work
brb 2 mins
back
launching arma to test again
reef estuary
do you know how to view the .RPT file
dense shoal
just tested both yours and my previously working file. neither works. im at a loss..
yes Ive done rpt
cant remember eactly how I did it before though
its in some root folder somewhere IIRC
reef estuary
using the one i sent you
if you look at the left, i have pinned my current face
checks every frame
dense shoal
Now shoot the second guy and see if his face stays the same
reef estuary
it will stay the same because its an AI. AI don't run onPLAYERrespawn
you should be testing with 2 clients
both players
ai don't even follow multiplayer respawn rules
i thought you were testing with 2 players
dense shoal
it will stay the same because its an AI. AI don't run onPLAYERrespawn
Then why does it change for me when I do multiplayer in the editor?
Okay listen to this strange behaviour. I am testing my old one in hte editor. It doesnt work in there. But if I export it and put in on my server with two computers (both clients) it does work.
reef estuary
it changes because of what you are putting in initPlayerLocal
you are setting the unit, no matter who owns it from your machine
which means every player that joins is also setting that unit for everyone every time
dense shoal
I will export your and put on server right now. I am using FASTER as a dedicated server and I connect with my desktop and laptop to simulate a multiplayer environment
reef estuary
don't fill the slot with AI
reef estuary
make sure mine isn't the one that has your initPlayerLocal edits. needs to be empty
dense shoal
the one I just tested i forgot i changed respawnOnStart = 1; to 0 and it wont let me repawn now. reexporting so its exactly as you have sent
in your mission you have a respawn point right?
reef estuary
yeah it should
dense shoal
i see it in the vid you sent yeah
dense shoal
aaaaaand it works perfect on the server. Man im so sorry to have wasted you time. I was under the impression that if you write code for dedicated multiplayer servers it should function for local host and single player by extention. whihc is why I always test in the editor first
I dont get why it wont work in the editor but it will on the server...
reef estuary
and just so you know, we put a lot of effort into the wiki, its very rare that it is wrong. when you are trying to impliment an example and it doesn't work, there is something on your end
it does work in the editor, all my testing is done with 1 computer, no dedicated server, multiple instances of arma
and i alt tab between them
you just ignore anything on the host client as it IS the server, so you gotta ignore local stuff on it.
dense shoal
as in both are in the editor?
reef estuary
no, you start the host in the editor and select play in multiplayer
the clients you go to multiplayer, LAN and join
dense shoal
oh yeah and disable anticheat.
