Title: Does "var = var + 1" multiply by number of players if in global Radio Trigger ?
Post by: laggy on 03 Apr 2009, 22:45:44

???

Does it and is the only solution to have a script created trigger instead ?

What if I have:

Condition: this AND player == leader player

Does the variable then only change for that player ?

My concern is to not multiply the + 1 by number of players, with a preferably global trigger, because hints for all players are involved.

No, it does not multiply, since the variables in question are normal global, not networked global ("publicVariable") variables. This means they exist across all scripts on a given machine, not across all machines. Thus, the addition will occur once on every machine affecting the variable on that machine only.

In fact, a single editor-placed, "global" trigger has exactly the same effect as having script-created, "local", triggers on every machine.
