does publicVariable work?

[gc8 970]

Hi

I'm trying to use publicvariable command to send variable to all clients but the event handler never gets triggered, what am I doing wrong?

sleep 0.1;
"myPubVar" addPublicVariableEventHandler 
{
 player sidechat format["--- Testing myPubVar: %1", _this];  // Never prints
 diag_log format["--- Testing myPubVar: %1", _this];         // Never prints
};
player sidechat "Testing"; // prints
myPubVar = [123, "456", true];
publicVariable "myPubVar";

I'm running this in MP.

 

thx!

did now, thanks! So I understand it will only work on dedicated server, correct?

 

Or maybe in client as well when connected to dedicated server? hmmm.

try with publicVariableServer

gc8, the machine on which you use publicVariable will not run any handlers.
