v1.2.14.36041, Script Disconnects Clients


Wrecking Crew

Recommended Posts

Hi, found this new problem -- Clients get disconnected and cannot rejoin when the following script executes from a Do Script File action.

 

The new Mist v3.5.37 did not solve the problem.

 

What the script does:

When a Huey lands then a Stinger Team is deployed ~30 seconds after landing.

The script is triggered through regular events that determine when the Huey is landed. It clones a Stinger Team and places the team on the map at the location of the Huey landing. An AI Huey (HGrp11) will land at about 10:23 into the mission, or Client Hueys can be used.

 

The script runs fine in singleplayer. In multiplayer a window pops open and closes too fast to read it and then a disconnect window appears. As a Client I could not re-join the server until the mission was stopped and restarted on the server.

 

I used Witchcraft to execute the script locally and that works OK, except for a nil value return on getting the unitNameHelicopterPlayer at the end -- since that is a MP Player (Client) Name I did test commenting those lines out but in MP the disconnect still happens.

 

 

 

local grpNameHelicopter = 'UH-1H 03 FARP London'
local grpNameTeam = 'BLF VGrp90 Stinger'
local unitNameHelicopter = Group.getByName(grpNameHelicopter):getUnit(1):getName()
local basePos = mist.getLeadPos(grpNameHelicopter)
local baseHeadingRad = mist.getHeading(Unit.getByName(unitNameHelicopter))
local baseHeadingDeg = baseHeadingRad * 180 / math.pi
local newGroupTeam = mist.getGroupData(grpNameTeam)
local newCoords = 
   {
       [1] = 
       {
           x = basePos.x + ((75 * math.cos(baseHeadingDeg)) - (0 * math.sin(baseHeadingDeg))),
           y = basePos.z + ((75 * math.sin(baseHeadingDeg)) + (0 * math.cos(baseHeadingDeg))),
           heading = baseHeadingDeg,
       },
       [2] =
       {
           x = basePos.x + ((-75 * math.cos(baseHeadingDeg)) - (75 * math.sin(baseHeadingDeg))),
           y = basePos.z + ((-75 * math.sin(baseHeadingDeg)) + (75 * math.cos(baseHeadingDeg))),
           heading = baseHeadingDeg + 40,
       },
       [3] =
       {
           x = basePos.x + ((-75 * math.cos(baseHeadingDeg)) - (-75 * math.sin(baseHeadingDeg))),
           y = basePos.z + ((-75 * math.sin(baseHeadingDeg)) + (-75 * math.cos(baseHeadingDeg))),
           heading = baseHeadingDeg - 40,
       }
   }
for i = 1, #newGroupTeam.units do
   newGroupTeam.units[i].x = newCoords[i].x
   newGroupTeam.units[i].y = newCoords[i].y
   newGroupTeam.units[i].heading = newCoords[i].heading
end
newGroupTeam.clone = true
mist.dynAdd(newGroupTeam)
local unitNameHelicopterPlayer = Group.getByName(grpNameHelicopter):getUnit(1):getPlayerName()
trigger.action.outText(unitNameHelicopterPlayer .. ' just dropped off a Stinger team!', 20)

 

 

The mission is attached. This mission was working a few months ago on a downlevel DCSW version. Watch the Blue Huey HGrp11 for ~10 minutes or fly the Client Huey 03 and take off and go land it to generate the error.
