Radio Trigger and format publicVariable problem
« on: 03 Apr 2009, 20:37:08 »
I want the players to be able to wait X hours (skiptime) whenever they want.
With Radio Bravo you add 1 hour to a variable called "waitadd", this you can do any number of times wanted.
With Radio Charlie you then activate the waiting function and skip the X number of hours, chosen with Radio Bravo.

Radio Bravo
Condition: this
OnAct; if (isServer) then {waitadd = waitadd + 1; publicVariable "waitadd"; waitinfo = hint format ["%1 Waiting hour(s) chosen", waitadd]; publicVariable "waitinfo"}

Radio Charlie
Con: this
OnAct: titletext [format ["Waiting %1 hour(s)...", waitadd], "BLACK IN", 5]; skiptime waitadd

Problem:
On a dedi the format doesn't work, you dont see the hint but when you do Radio Charlie it says "Waiting X hours" and the correct number of hours hours are skipped.

Question:
I could just skip the if isServer thing, but how do I then avoid that the "waitadd" gets multipled by the number of players every time?

 :dunno:
And I looked and beheld a pale horse and his name that sat on him was Death and Hell followed with him.

iam not very good at this but this might help you set up some of it

Code: [Select]
; Activated By: Vehicle Present
;Condition: this
;On Activation: WaitAction = Player addaction ["Wait 10 hours", "skiptime.sqf"];
;On DeActivation: Player removeAction WaitAction; WaitAction = nil;

titleText ["You take a rest for a couple of hours, until night falls...", "plain down"];
cutText ["", "black out", 1];
sleep 2;
skipTime 10;
sleep 1;
cutText ["", "black in", 1];
but its set to 10 hours

Code: [Select]
waitadd = waitadd + 1; publicVariable "waitadd"; waitinfo = hint format ["%1 Waiting hour(s) chosen", waitadd]; publicVariable "waitinfo"runs completely on the server. So the client can't see it.
Easiest solution: Add an publicVariableEventhandler to waitinfo and display the hint there.
