halo script not working on dedicated server.

hey,

when i test this locally it works perfectly, but when i put it on my dedicated server it doesn't work can anyone shed some light as to why?

i have the line of code in the init as well.

// GeneralCarver Crew Parajump Manager Script
// Author: GeneralCarver
// Version: 1
// Date: 12/15/10
// Description: This script manages the ejection of A.I. or players in the cargo of an air vehicle.

/*
How to use...

NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE WITH ACE2 MOD!


Launch the script with the following line of code. The code needs to be executed server side and at the moment you want to units to eject out of plane.
The plane could be piloted by a human player or A.I. The pilot in the script is ignored.

gc_crew_parajump_manager_script = [vehiclename, jump delay] execVM "gc_crew_parajump_manager.sqf";

array elements description...
vehiclename - name of vehicle which units will be ejecting out of.
jump delay - pause between crew jumping out.  (recommend 0.75 on dedicated server)

// pause between jumps..
sleep _jump_delay;
};

I reworked the script for you. Give it a shot and let know how it goes (did not test).

input is the same: [vehicle name,delay] execVM "TheBelowScript.sqf";

thank for reply.

but that makes them eject normally with chute opening straight away.

anyone got any ideas for a fix?

You need to run most of the script on the client that is should be ejected:

//clientside.sqf
_veh = vehicle _this;
_this action ["eject", _veh];

// wait until the unit has ejected
waituntil {vehicle _this != _veh};
_this setvelocity [0,0,0];
[_this] exec "ca\air2\halo\data\Scripts\HALO_init.sqs";
hint "Don't forget to open your chute!";

private ["_veh", "_jump_delay"];
_veh = _this select 0;
_jump_delay = _this select 1;

{
if (_x != driver _veh) then //More reliable check
{
	// eject the unit using MP Framework from the Functions module (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Multiplayer_framework)
	 [nil, _x, "loc", rEXECVM, "clientside.sqf", _x] call RE;
	sleep _jump_delay;
};
} foreach crew _veh;

did this ever get solved? Because I have been having the same issue with mine i am trying to enable on a dedicated server.

You know what, try running the exact same code but instead of "Eject" use "GetOut" instead.
