Description

I tried searching everywhere for this but did not come up with any info on it.
The display handler is gone after loading a saved game.
if (!isDedicated) then {

waitUntil {!(IsNull (findDisplay 46))};

(findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", "_this call XS_KeyHandler;"];
};
Tried it in single player and multiplayer, with modded and a clean version of stable arma 3. same issue no mater what i try, and it allays happen without fail. is this a bug or I'm misunderstanding how this is suppose to work.

Is it supposed to save or was this possible before? UI elements cannot be serialized, this is why there is even disableSerialization command. The display you are attaching EH to cannot be saved therefore EH will not save.

So basically if it's not suppose to save, i need to re-init it after a load somehow?

You can use "Loaded" EH to detect mission loading from save https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Event_Handlers#Loaded

Got it to work with addMissionEventHandler "Loaded"
