So what is exactly is the problem with SAPP? Same issues as before? Random connection errors still? Does anyone have a contact for Termy?
Everyone on team Yoyorast: Thanks. Anxiously awaiting the release. :allears:

ok for the Pop up menu as soon as the game starts. you don't even need to have the Host /non Host menu to pop up for client and servers to give you options to control the server from within the gameQuote:

-1 means the vehicle dosn't exist. <0 means it exists
if you do something like this. and forgive me my scripting is a little rusty after 2 years
(global Boolean Isserver false) ;sets the global variable to false from the starting up of the server
then
(script startup isserver
(if unitgethealth(warthog1)==0
(set(Isserver, True)) :then part of the statement
(set(Isserver, False))
) :else part of the statement. more on those later :)
)
then you just use the global variavle in a continuous script for all your controls providing that the Isserver global is true
(script continuous serverstuff
(if Isserver
(server-iey things go here)
)
)
well its something like that anyway. when i get back into it ill be alittle less rusty with it all XD.. so that just means you don't need to have 1 extra menu to tell the client that you are either a client or server
oh!!! before i forget
the reason you use a vehicle to return the health is because.
vehicles only really exist on the servers. not on the clients
if you do something like
unitgethealth on a vehicle with the same name as something in sapien. on a server. it will return a number = to or greater than 0. depending on weather the vehicle has health or not.
if you run that on a client it will return -1 because it dosn't exist on the client.
We did that. I won't work because vehicles don't spawn properly on race.
edit-
Explain this to me...

It's up to him to figure out how they got it to work though.
However, if I have any free time tomorrow, I'll look into it.
Stick a biped down. Have a script shoot the duplicate client biped on top. Clients biped will die, server biped won't. Since it's on the bottom.
Should properly detect the host.
I'm going to set aside the fact that your sentences don't make much sense, for instance, "Stick a biped down". To my knowledge, there is no script function that will force a biped to shoot another biped. And even if there was, I don't understood how your idea would detect which person was host.Quote:

Now if you have a script activate an effect that shoots a sniper projectile at the client biped's head, it will kill that one, but not the server biped.
Edit: Just tested it, you would have to kill the server biped and not the client biped and it would work.

Works perfect.
When the client joins and the script on the client shoots nothing will happen since the client can't make a projectile because it's not the host.
Script:
Edit this to run on map startup.Code:(global boolean is_host false)
(script dormant host_check
(begin
(effect_new "chris\effects\sniped" shoot)
(sleep 30)
(if (<= (unit_get_health host_check) 0)
(set is_host true)
)
)
)
Place a flag like this:

Make sure the shot hits the head of the bottom biped.
Name it shoot (or something else if you changed the script).
Use this effect: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1455347/H.../sniped.effect
Basically, this works because the client can't kill it's own biped.
