Server Input MCU

[LLv34_Temuri]

How does the Server Input MCU work? Have I understood correctly that you give it a name and point it to some other MCU you want to activate? Then, by using rcon client you can send a server input command that will then trigger the other MCU?

Yes, that's how it works.

Does there need to be anything connected to the server input? I currently only have the server input's target set to a subtitle that isn't connected to anything else, and it doesn't seem to work, there is no message. I may be doing something wrong on the mission side, or the fault is in the script I've done. I'm able to send chat messages with the script, so I know that the basic rcon stuff works (I'm using the rof rcon python script done by Vaal).

Hard to say. I've tested it and it works. Make sure the names of the server input and the name you pass to the command in rcon are identical.

Coconut, would you happen to have a mission where the server input is working? I could use that as an example when testing my script.

Here you go coconut.zip

 

The server input is at the top level, middle-right airfield. It's used to test an airfield capture mechanism. The names of the server inputs are GerIn, GerOut, GerStop, GerContinue, and same thing for RusIn...

Thank you! Now I know the fault is in the mission logic I have done
