⚠
1.50 This function has been replaced by remoteExec and remoteExecCall. While BIS_fnc_MP still works (to provide backwards compatibility), it is now deprecated and should no longer be used. See Arma 3: Remote Execution for more information. - Execution:
- call
- Groups:
- Multiplayer
Syntax
- Syntax:
- [params, functionName, target, isPersistent, isCall] call BIS_fnc_MP
- Parameters:
- params: Anything - function arguments. Variables can be local.
- functionName: String - function or scripting command name.
- target:
- Object - the function will be executed only where unit is local [default: everyone]
- String - the function will be executed only where object or group defined by the variable with passed name is local
- Boolean - true to execute on each machine (including the one where the function was called from), false to execute it on server only
- Number - function will be executed only on client with the given owner ID
- Side - function will be executed only on clients where the player is on the specified side
- Group - function will be executed only on clients where the player is in the specified group
- Array - array of targets of types listed above
- isPersistent: Boolean - (Optional, default false) true for persistent call (will be called now and for every JIP client)
- isCall: Boolean - (Optional, default false) true if function should be called on target machine, false to spawn it

- Note that the function you provide as argument is *not* transferred to the remote client or server. You will have to use either You can also execute scripts remotely like this: Or transfer code as parameter (not recommended) like that:

If you need to achieve a single global execution of an existing function on all PCs including your own, the syntax could not be any more simple than: [arguments, functionname] call BIS_fnc_MP; This is particularly useful with commands such as switchMove where the command effect is local.
For example to make sure animation is played on every PC, first define a global function on every PC (maybe inside init.sqf):
Then execute BIS_fnc_MP on only one PC which will in return execute switchMoveEverywhere function everywhere:

- Adding onto what Killzone_Kid said, a custom function isn't necessary when using only a single command.

From version 1.50 the function BIS_fnc_MP will use the engine based remote execution.
- This will positively affect its performance, namely processing speed and amount of transferred data.
- The syntax and functionality of BIS_fnc_MP will remain same to retain the backward compatibility.
- To prevent abusing of the remoteExec and remoteExecCall commands the BIS_fnc_MP will use, the content authors will be able to define the operation modes as well as white-lists for commands/functions for clients and server separately.
- White-lists defined in CfgRemoteExecCommands and CfgRemoteExecFunctions won't be supported from 1.48 as they will be replaced by the new structure more powerful and detailed structure: CfgRemoteExec.

- Pay close attention to where and when you call BIS_fnc_MP. If you use it on the server during init, it will probably run before the player is loaded into the server, and the player behaves more like a JIP. Either waiting for the briefing to end (time > 0), or using the JIP parameter in BIS_fnc_MP are two ways of getting around this issue.
