setOwner can't be used without breaking the AI!
Neither doMove, Move nor applying waypoints works after switching locality!
Only if the unit is created on the client or the server directy (without switching locality), the unit can be moved.
either I'am missing something obvious or setOwner atm. is completely useless in a classic scripting scenario. {F25185}
Repro, connect to a dedicated server with a client/hc:
see code snipped below
Spawn in debug console globally (Stratis) if connected as the client, adapt _locality if you wanna use you HC instead of the player
STARTPOS = [1772.49,5706.24,0.00143862];
ENDPOS = [1779.07,5680.48,0.00143862];
TIMER = time;
OBJECT = nil;
LOCALITY = nil;
READY = nil;
player setpos STARTPOS;
sleep 5; titleText ["Creating unit on server and setting ownership to player unit!","PLAIN"];
if (isServer) then {
_unit = (createGroup CIVILIAN) createUnit ["C_man_1_1_F", STARTPOS, [], 0, "NONE"];
_locality = owner (([] call BIS_fnc_ListPlayers) select 0);
waituntil {local _unit};[_unit,_locality] spawn {(_this select 0) setowner (_this select 1)};
waituntil {!local _unit};
LOCALITY = _locality;
OBJECT = _unit;
publicvariable "LOCALITY";
publicvariable "OBJECT";};
sleep 2; titleText ["Waiting for unit to be ready!","PLAIN"];
waituntil {!isnil "OBJECT" && {!isnil "LOCALITY"}};
sleep 2; titleText ["Trying to move unit where unit is local!","PLAIN"];
if (local OBJECT) then {
OBJECT doMove ENDPOS;
diag_log format["doMove called for %1 on locality %2 where unit is local %3",OBJECT,LOCALITY,local OBJECT];
waituntil {unitReady OBJECT};
READY = true; publicvariable "READY";};
sleep 2; titleText ["Waiting for unitReady!","PLAIN"];
waituntil {!isnil "READY"};
if (OBJECT distance ENDPOS > 2) then {
titleText ["Unit did not move to endpos!","PLAIN"];
} else {
titleText ["Unit did move to endpos successfully!","PLAIN"];
};
sleep 2; titleText ["Ending test for setowner!","PLAIN"];
};
added simple repro mission, with 3 tests:
New command setGroupOwner introduced in rev. 129068. It changes the locality of whole groups (unless the leader is player).
SetOwner will no longer work with AI entities.
Syntax: group setGroupOwner clientid
It is serverside only and it is possible to transfer AI's locality (incl. brain and state) to the server.
"New command setGroupOwner introduced in rev. 129068."
Tomorrow basically, fingers crossed
Hi!
Thanks! Thats awesome!
Just a question -> brain/state from server to a different locality, i guess?
And will it work for groups that have been created on a different locality too (ergo call command serverside on any group to have full control)?
Thanks for your work!
Heya Ice!
I believe its not working as intended (sorry)! Groups switched to another locality, won't accept move/domove commands from a different locality (esp. server).
Execute globally in debug console
headless is the name for HC
if (local player) then {POS = getpos player; publicvariable "POS"};
if (isServer) then {
TESTGROUPSERVER = [POS, WEST, (configfile >> "CfgGroups" >> "West" >> "BLU_F" >> "Infantry" >> "BUS_InfSquad")] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;
TESTGROUPSERVER setGroupOwner (owner headLess);
waituntil {!local (leader TESTGROUPSERVER)};
TESTGROUPSERVER move (getArray(configFile >> "CfgWorlds" >> worldName >> "centerPosition"));
PublicVariable "TESTGROUPSERVER";
};
};
// wont move the unit...
also tested with different positions.
Group is created at player pos, but wont move at all...
