Hint to all players

[lima]

I'm having trouble with sending a hint to all players on my server. I have tried several methods, but none works.

 

RPT and -showscripterrors reports no errors.

 

These have been tested, but doesn't work:

 

 

Shows nothing at all:

[nil,nil,rHINT,"testing"] call RE;

Used with maca's "remote_messages" script (https://www.dropbox.com/s/eyix186wbdqwmu0/remote_messages.sqf). Shows nothing at all:

customRemoteMessage = ['hint', "testing"];
publicVariable "customRemoteMessage";

Shows text on my screen, not on others. Same with !isServer:

if (!isDedicated) then {
hint "test";
};

What am I doing wrong? Isn't there a fool-proof way to get this working?

I would use BEC to do this instead, or if you have a anti-cheat like infistar or Blur.

I think you misunderstand what I'm trying to do.

 

A hint cannot be triggered by BEC. What you're thinking of is a standard global message, showing up in the lower left corner, but that's not what I need.

There is a post from Maca134 which describes how to do that. Server Side chat / hint / messages. Something like that.

Search for 'globalchat' in 'Server Mods Corner'.

Please read my post again. I'm mentioning that very same script :)

Yes sorry, was too late ,)

I also tried a lot yesterday...in file dayz_server/compile/server_playerDied.sqf are the messages to see when a player dies and from whom he was killed. I also did not understand why I wasn't able to call the same form another file. Need another free evening to figure that out. I am sure that this should work somehow without using any other additional files, hm.
