Randomised Objectives

[XCess]

I'm making a large mission with two randomised objectives and a randomised convoy, but having trouble showing these objectives in the initial briefing.

THe scripts defining the objectives:

Init.sqs

Code: [Select]

; HIDE ALL OBJECTIVES

"2" ObjStatus "HIDDEN"

"8" ObjStatus "HIDDEN"
"9" Objstatus "HIDDEN"
"10" ObjStatus "HIDDEN"

? !(local server): exit

_nomin_random = random 1

#OBJECTIVE3

? _ob3_num == 3 : takeStPierre = true ;xs_ob3 = "10"

runObjects = true
exit
ShowObjects.sqs

Code: [Select]

@runObjects
xs_ob1 objStatus "ACTIVE"
xs_ob3 objStatus "ACTIVE"
All this works fine server side, but not on other comps. Is there any way to fix this so I can show objectives in the initial briefing, or will I have to show them later on?

[Garcia]

as far as I can see you haven't publicvariabled anything. You've exited the script for all the clients, but not PVed anything on the server, therefor the clients know jack shit about what objectives are active or when they 'runObjects' is true. They won't ever get past the '@runObjects'. You have to PV all the unknown variables (runObjects, xs_ob1, xs_ob3).

I've updated the script with publicVariables, but I still seem to be missing something. I'm totally new to mp scripting after the past 4 years of SP only, so bear with me :p

Solved the problem, I was using strings which publicVar doesn't support.
I will be running a public beta test on Monda, check the beta board for details.
