Title: Random numbers , etc, in MP
Post by: UH60MG on 07 Apr 2009, 14:05:01

Hello,

I want to generate 1 random number for all the machines in a multiplayer COOP game, then I want to spawn the enemies using CreateUnit. How do I do this so I dont get multiple copies?

I am using .sqs scripts.

Code: [Select]

//Init
Random_array = [];
for "_i" from 0 to MAXNUMBER do {
Random_array = Random_array + [_i];
};

//Get random number:
_random = Random_array select floor random (count Random_array);
Random_array = Random_array - [_random];I'm using SQF.

CreateUnit is global BTW so no need to execute it on every client.

That is helpful. Is there a list anywhere of which commands are global?

Check the "Links" section of this site (http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Image:effects_global.gif). The list is not complete yet but it's a good start.
