Cannot control carrier lights through script

[Bankler]

Summary

The a_set_carrier_illumination_mode script command only work in SP. If you call it in a dedicated server MP session, nothing happens.

Reproduce

1. Start the mission.
2. Take the blue Mission Commander slot.
3. Press F9 to view the carrier.
4. Bring up the comms, menu, other, Carrier Control, Recovery.
5. Notice that in SP, the runway lights turn on, but in MP (edit: using dedicated server) nothing happens.

Remarks

The ME carrier lights triggers work as intended. Can be used as a workaround. But requires a whole array of triggers in order to set all light modes. I believe the Air Boss slot controls in the tower work too (though I haven't tested it thoroughly).

Tracks and miz attached.

Hi Bankler, 

the team just tested your mission and it seems to be working for us.

Hi Bignewy! Did you run the mission on a dedicated server? I did. I realize I forgot to add that info.

Can't get it to work either.

I can not tell yet, what it is, but I can confirm, the a_set_carrier_illumination_mode() does nothing when being run per script on the dedicated server. No error also, but no effect on the client. Looks like as if it is a desync, but if you use a trigger like the OP stated, it works.

Does not work for me either. (Dedicated server)
