How do you run task scripts on the server side?

[June]

Well, I hope I can get help……

When you start a task, how can you make important scripts for generating tasks run on the server side?

[Ryko]

Need some more information. When / how is your task being generated?

Hope this is not too late for you, but have a look at the BIKI entry on the Arma 3 Task Framework:

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Task_Framework

 

The article contains almost everything you need in regards to relevant functions and commands for setting up tasks an handling them 

 

As for server-siding functions, here are a few BIKI entries that can help you:

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/isServer

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/isDedicated

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/hasInterface

 

And the following little overview:

if (isDedicated) then {
	//run on dedicated server only
};

if (isServer) then {
	//run on dedicated server or player host
};

if (hasInterface) then {
	//run on all player clients incl. player host
};

if (!isDedicated) then {
	//run on all player clients incl. player host and headless clients
};

if (!isServer) then {
	//run on all player clients incl. headless clients but not player host
};

if (!hasInterface) then {
	//run on headless clients and dedicated server
};

if (!hasInterface && !isDedicated) then {
	//run on headless clients only
};

Thank you very much indeed. Because I see many servers that simply load the basic files of the task. Complex script files appear to be loaded on the server side. It makes me feel very smooth in the game and not very low in FPS

You could go a step further, depending on the complexity of your project, and completely separate scripting components between server and client.

This would basically mean putting all relevant files that are meant for the server only into an addon, which only the server loads in on startup.

The mission file (i.e. the missionName.Altis) folder would then only contain scripts that are running on the client.

 

If you want to go down that path, just let me know. I'll guide you through the setup if you wish

I'm very anxious for help. Thank you very much. But My English is not very good. I'm sorry……

So what do I need to do first? I need to start with the most basic questions.
May I add your steam number?

[Mokka]

Sure you can add me on Steam! I have sent the link thingy to you as a PM
