isPlayer

[Rommel92]

Code: [Select]

If (isPlayer) exitWith {};
Missing ;

 
Clearly the command is wrong, as I was just screwing around with it I just replaced with:

Code: [Select]

If !(isNull player) exitWith {};
But why the error?

Wrong use of the command.

Description:
    Check if given person is a human player.

Syntax

Syntax:
    isPlayer Object
Parameters:
    Object
Return Value:
    Boolean

You didn't passed an Object which could be checked.

Also check this:

This is not the same as testing object == player, because in MP it tests for any player, not only for the local one. If object is a vehicle, the test is done for the vehicle commander.

Ah k, yeh should've read the Biki first, was just reading into another thread, in which Mr Peanut posted:

Code: [Select]

if isServer then {onPlayerConnected "publicVariable ""startPos""";};
if isPlayer then {nil = [] execVM "setPlayerStart.sqf";};
And no one seemed to mention anything about it being dud... so... maybe theres an exception here, or no one noticed...

isPlayer checks to see if the unit is a human (true) or AI (false).  It is not used to validate who the player is or compare it to other players.

Damn. Another screwup by yours truly! I have added a warning to that original thread not to use the snippet.
