waituntil

[juandayz]

hey,  i need use waituntil and display a scroll menu option in server side using random cases.

i had to wait if thers almost 1 player near of my custom crate to execute the random scroll menu option.

this works by client side.. but not in server side:

Spoiler

waitUntil {(player distance _crate1) < _distance};
selectDelay = 25;
_timer = selectDelay;
 

 

 

//////////////START RAND CASES TO CUT WIRES THIS FINISH IN BOMB EXPLODE OR NOT#######################//

_rand = floor(random 100);
 

//####################################1st rand:#################///

           if (_rand <= 30) then {
            bomb = 0;
wirecut =
[
    ["",true],
    ["wirecut", [-1], "", -5, [["expression", ""]], "1", "0"],
    ["", [-1], "", -5, [["expression", ""]], "1", "0"],
    ["Red Wire", [], "", -5, [["expression", "bomb=0;"]], "1", "1"],
    ["Black Wire", [], "", -5, [["expression", "bomb=0;"]], "1", "1"],
    ["Brown Wire", [], "", -5, [["expression", "bomb=1;"]], "1", "1"],    
    ["", [-1], "", -5, [["expression", ""]], "1", "0"]
];
showCommandingMenu "#USER:wirecut";
WaitUntil{commandingMenu == ""};    
};

 

*I was trying to replace by it  to make its work by server side.. the First waitUntil now works... but no the scroll menu option.

Spoiler

waitUntil{{isPlayer _x && _x distance _crate1 < 5  } count playableunits > 0};
[nil,nil,rTitleText,"TEST TEXT", "PLAIN",10] call RE;

 

 

_rand = floor(random 100);

//####################################1st rand#########//    
            if (_rand <= 30) then {
            bomb = 0;
wirecut =
[
    ["",true],
    ["wirecut", [-1], "", -5, [["expression", ""]], "1", "0"],
    ["", [-1], "", -5, [["expression", ""]], "1", "0"],
    ["Red Wire", [], "", -5, [["expression", "bomb=0;"]], "1", "1"],
    ["Black Wire", [], "", -5, [["expression", "bomb=0;"]], "1", "1"],
    ["Brown Wire", [], "", -5, [["expression", "bomb=1;"]], "1", "1"],    
    ["", [-1], "", -5, [["expression", ""]], "1", "0"]
];
showCommandingMenu "#USER:wirecut";
WaitUntil{commandingMenu == ""};    
};

 

////the others rand cases bellow....

 

any idea?

[BigEgg]

Try this:

waitUntil{
(({isPlayer _x && _x distance _crate1 < _distance} count playableUnits > 0));
};

[juandayz]

yes BiggEgg  tnks! the waitUntil works now with it waitUntil{{isPlayer _x && _x distance _crate1 < 5  } count playableunits > 0};

i need fix the part bellow,,  but dont know if is  _rand = floor(random 100)     works on server side or just:

wirecut =
[
    ["",true],
    ["wirecut", [-1], "", -5, [["expression", ""]], "1", "0"],
    ["", [-1], "", -5, [["expression", ""]], "1", "0"],
    ["Red Wire", [], "", -5, [["expression", "bomb=0;"]], "1", "1"],
    ["Black Wire", [], "", -5, [["expression", "bomb=0;"]], "1", "1"],
    ["Brown Wire", [], "", -5, [["expression", "bomb=1;"]], "1", "1"],    
    ["", [-1], "", -5, [["expression", ""]], "1", "0"]
];
showCommandingMenu "#USER:wirecut";
WaitUntil{commandingMenu == ""};    
};

 

i think is showComandigMenu who dsnt works

[BigEgg]

I am sorry, but I don't understand the problem. 

 

What are you trying to do with 

_rand = floor(random 100)

ok, once script recognize almost 1 nearest player must execute the  wirecut menu.  (_rand cases are fine..) i think Wirecut menu dsnt workss.... but works if i execute by client side.

 

if i remove _rand cases then :

Spoiler

waitUntil{{isPlayer _x && _x distance _crate1 < 5  } count playableunits > 0};
[nil,nil,rTitleText,"CUT A WIRE", "PLAIN",10] call RE;

//SCRIPT STOP TO WORK JUST RIGHT HERE
selectDelay = 25;
_timer = selectDelay;

 

 bomb = 0;
wirecut =
[
    ["",true],
    ["wirecut", [-1], "", -5, [["expression", ""]], "1", "0"],
    ["", [-1], "", -5, [["expression", ""]], "1", "0"],
    ["Red Wire", [], "", -5, [["expression", "bomb=0;"]], "1", "1"],
    ["Black Wire", [], "", -5, [["expression", "bomb=0;"]], "1", "1"],
    ["Brown Wire", [], "", -5, [["expression", "bomb=1;"]], "1", "1"],    
    ["", [-1], "", -5, [["expression", ""]], "1", "0"]
];
showCommandingMenu "#USER:wirecut";
WaitUntil{commandingMenu == ""};    

so its means i guess... wirecut menu is the one wh dsnt works

[juandayz]

here you have a vid to see the problem

unfilled crate is fine... crate fills onces you cut the wire.. but thers no option to cut wires if i execute it by server side.

[BigEgg]

Okay I see.

 

Try this:

 

wirecutmenu = {showcommandingMenu "#USER:wirecut";};
[] spawn wirecutmenu;

 

So it would look like this:

 

if (_rand <= 65 && _rand > 31) then {
            bomb = 0;
wirecut =
[
    ["",true],
    ["wirecut", [-1], "", -5, [["expression", ""]], "1", "0"],
    ["", [-1], "", -5, [["expression", ""]], "1", "0"],
    ["Red Wire", [], "", -5, [["expression", "bomb=1;"]], "1", "1"],
    ["Black Wire", [], "", -5, [["expression", "bomb=0;"]], "1", "1"],
    ["Brown Wire", [], "", -5, [["expression", "bomb=0;"]], "1", "1"],    
    ["", [-1], "", -5, [["expression", ""]], "1", "0"]
];
wirecutmenu = {showcommandingMenu "#USER:wirecut";};
[] spawn wirecutmenu;
WaitUntil{commandingMenu == ""};    
};

 

[juandayz]

ok like a function.. gonna try.. many tnks!

 

works.. but like a bypass. Script jump this part and proceed like if u cut the wrong cut. any way tnks BiggEgg

[juandayz]

well i think the problem is about player.

i need set up the player near as local player.

something like..

_callerid = _this

_caller = _newValue select 0;

if (_caller == player) then
{

.... the wirecut menu here.

};

if anyone knows

[seelenapparat]

I would recommend using a public variable to the receiving player and execute all the player code on the client itself.

this would be the better way to do this.

[juandayz]

yep @seelenapparat tnks!!! i read about it. but dont know how its work. do you have any kind of example?

i need to send a time counter before bomb explode to an specific client. (if  can do it so i guess i can send the weire cut menu too)

heres the part of the code:
