Nular — isServer.

isServer

Description

Returns true if the current process is the server (or host in a listen-server setup). In the SQ# host, this is always true — the host is the server. Useful for writing server-authoritative logic that ports to Arma.

Registered by DeclareMultiplayerCommands(). NOT called automatically — host must invoke explicitly.

How It Works

Returns the host's IsServer flag. In the reference SQ# host, this is always true. Dedicated server vs listen server is distinguished by isDedicated.

Usage

if (isServer) then {
    // Server-authoritative logic
    spawnAI();
    manageLoot();
};

Thread Safety

ReadOnly — pure query.
