i don't know if anyone else has this prob, but when i play sniper battles in multiplayer i have a prob that sometimes other players can see me on the map view, even though i'm outta LOS or if they didn't notice me sitting by some rubble, but is there a way to prevent players seeing each other on map view using some sort of script.

Yeah this happens when the server is in 'Cadet' mode. Then you can see enemy units on the map and their movement.
There's nothing you can do to prevent this through scripting, other than disallowing the map when you make a mission:

Code: [Select]
showMap false

That will prevent anyone from opening the map during the mission. But you may have things that need the map to be shown, like the Support pack or something.
Well, if you don't need the map, just disable it when you make the mission.

Could also be Cheaters. There are ways to see a landscape without all the bushes etc. But i don't know much about this and this is not the board to discuss that anyway.
