Title: setmarkerpos requires clientside ?
Post by: ROBINO on 09 Feb 2005, 00:34:33

hi chaps

I'm executing a script to move a marker around a multiplayer map.  I know that for MP maps the importance of using PUBLICVARIABLE command to send a variable to all machines is important but:

If the position of the marker is changes using the setmarkerpos command on the server will i need to use the PUBLICVARIABLE to transmit that position to the clients for them to SEE it ?

and

If the position of the marker is changes using the setmarkerpos command on a client will i need to use the PUBLICVARIABLE to transmit that position to the other client and server for them to SEE it ?

I hope u can help me as my script is almost cracked  :)

Yes

Yes, and off course the same publicvariable will inform the
server also about it.

:note - you can't publicvariable an array (=a markerposition),
therefore you need to make two individual variables out
of your markerpos, and publicvariable them both to inform
the other participiants in network.
