Quick question... Hopefully
I'm making a death match MP mission where I want one side to be cops and one side (with only one player in a group called killers) to be an Assassin.
All non-player units in group killers are deleted at the beginning of the mission. Meaning the only remaining (player) unit will be leader killers. If more players choose to be in group killers the mission ends.
A repeatedly checking trigger sences if the Assassin is armed:
condition : leader killers hasweapon "revolver" OR killer hasweapon "ingram"
on activation : leader killers addrating -10000
on deactivation : leader killers addrating 10000
I chose the rating variation as the solution because I didn't want to use setcaptive, since that gives the cop player a warning if he spots him, even if the leader killers is setcaptive. The idea is that any unit should be a potential Assassin and should not be suspected until he is armed.
My question is if this trigger will work well in MP or if there is a risk of the rating number to be different on each computer ? Meaning that the rating for leader killers might be -10000 even though he is currently unarmed ?
If so will it be enough to include the "AND local server" in the condition field of the trigger (does the server then transmit the correct rating to all computers) ? (I have a gamelogic named server on the map).
If not will I have to use the to my experience not so reliable PublicVariable solution ? with a trigger working only on the server transmitting a variable to the clients which activates a trigger setting the rating ?
Finally I should say that all works perfectly in the editor.
Thank you anyone who can give an answer
