this addeventhandler Problems!

[cain2001]

Im making a map where I want 1000 points for killing a soldier and 10000 for killing a tank.

I put in this in the init file on both.

this addeventhandler ["Hit",{[_this select 1] exec "Hit.sqs"}]

this addeventhandler ["Hit",{[_this select 1] exec "Hit3.sqs"}]

hit.sqs = soldiers sqs file
hit3.sqs = tanks sqs file

hit.sqs
?!(player==_this select 0):exit
Hint "test2"
player addScore 1000
exit

hit3.sqs
?!(player==_this select 0):exit
Hint "test2"
player addScore 10000
exit


On my own server i can get it to work. (MP) But when i upload it to a dedicated. I only recive the 1000 points for the soldier i killed. It wont give me any points for the tank getting killed. (tank=bmp in this case)

I have a game logic named Server. I tried to use this command on the tank. But it stop working both on dedi server and mine.
this addeventhandler ["Hit",{server call{[_this select 1] exec "Hit3.sqs"}}]

Plz help me

Hmm, So these scrips are local? hmm i dont get it.

But why does the Hit work on Soldiers but not on tanks and other vehicles? if i works on soldiers it should work on other things too.

Hello cain2001&#33;

*** *** As per snYpir&#39;s OFPEC Guide: Multiplayer Editing available here, this is what he had to say about eventhandlers:

Quote[/b] ]snYpir&#39;s MP editing rule 7: Be prepared for a great deal of pain if you start handling events (especially player-activated ones such as map clicks) in multiplayer. Remember that map clicks are local, and as such the server will need to be notified (via publicvariable of course) that a map click has occurred, and the position of the click.

Read this tutorial and you may find a way to get it to work. That is about all the help that I can be, if I was any help at all&#33;

From what I remember, hit only works when vehicles get hit by explosive rounds.

If you want to test kills, why using event "hit", and not "Killed" instead?

[cain2001]

I tried Killed and it works better, but I still cant getthe script to work on the Dedic server. SnYpirs thing didt direct help me with anything.

You will need to set a public variable on the local computer that the server will be waiting for, then execute scripts that way.

A quick example of this would be:

this addeventhandler ["Killed",{[_this select 1] exec "Hit.sqs"}]

hit.sqs:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">
Startscriptset1 = true
publicvariable &#34;Startscriptset1&#34;
[/QUOTE]

Then have a script running on the server (could be ran from your init.sqs file)

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">
?&#33;&#40;local server&#41;&#58; exit
@Startscriptset1
.....

This could obviously be greatly expanded on, it is just a quick example.

Did get that script u wrote to work . Anway a m8 told me to put this in the init field. this addeventhandler

Quote[/b] ]this addeventhandler ["Killed",{format [{Server call %1},(_this select 1) addscore 10000]}]

&#39;

it works perfect on my server but on dedi it stops working. Logic thing with the server name is still on. I dont see why it shouldt work? It so 100% clear&#33;

Just a tip on "hit" EH:

Hit doesn&#39;t work well on tanks or armored vehicles because the projectile fired at it must inflict ATLEAST 5% damage. So a single bullet from an M16 will not inflict enough damage for this event to activate. Now an M203 round might set it off (haven&#39;t tried it) and maybe a 30mm would also, a round from an M82 sniper rifle with an explosive round will set it off also.

If you&#39;re wanting something to happen when a tank dies (like setting a score) then I would just use the "killed" EH instead like Suma suggested.


I can&#39;t really comment on eventHandlers in MP because I don&#39;t have any experience in using them in MP. Please post here if you&#39;ve found anything out that would be useful.
