Yeah, I deliberately made the
condition expression ensure it would only work in single player missions. Spooner touched on the subject before and I'll do it now - view distance and the ability to change it on the fly in multiplayer missions should be determined by the mission maker so as to make things fair for everyone. That said, changing the
condition to make the thing work in MP would be simple, and is left as an exercise.
[... XEH solution ...]
is this way bad?
Not at all - that'll work just fine, too.
