Systemchat format to selected player

[JakeQue]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to alert a user that their base is being broken into. The script already fetches the  _ownerID                 = _CursorTarget getVariable ["ownerPUID","0"];

How do I systemchat format to the object owner?

For example: 

 _ownerID = _cursorTarget getVariable ["ownerPUID","0"];

 systemChat(format["SOMEONE IS TRYING TO BREAK INTO %1 s BASE ",_ownerID)]);

This would put it to everyone but I need to just put it to the owner of that object.

Can you do? :

 _ownerID = _cursorTarget getVariable ["ownerPUID","0"];

 _ownerID systemChat(format["SOMEONE IS TRYING TO BREAK INTO YOUR BASE!")]);

I use this code to do a similar job:

Quote

[nil,_x,"loc",rTITLETEXT,"Use the key to unlock the car outside.","PLAIN DOWN",5] call RE;

_x is the player to warn. 

If you finish messing up WAI, you can use remote_message for it

Quote

RemoteMessage = ["titleCut","WARNING: You are approaching a minefield! Stop and continue on foot."];
(owner _x) publicVariableClient "RemoteMessage";

also, _x is the player to warn. 

 

 

by the way,

you have a typo after _owenerID.  and...

_cursorTarget getVariable ["ownerPUID","0"]; 

...what are you looking at?

You should read the wiki: systemChat

As you can see, the systemChat is only visible on the machine, the code is being executed on. Running it server-side will broadcast it to everyone.
