setting the correct hieght for a flare trap

[filth]

dear helpful ofpec peeps,
i have a problem with a flare trap in multiplayer (sorry - i did post this there, but it doesn't seem to get moderated too often and i'm desperate for an answer). anyway, i hope you'll forgive me, so...

this is my trigger activation line:

flare1 = "flareyellow" createvehicle [getpos trap1 select 0, getpos trap1 select 1,200]

i set my trap so that the flare goes off at an altitude of 200m. when i test this on my own, the flares don't hit the ground. but when we play it on a mp server, the flares hit the ground, causing a grenade sound, which with multiple flare traps is a nightmare.

why is there a difference when i test it on my own and when it gets played in mp? and...

what height should i set the flares to, to ensure they don't hit the ground? obviously i'm trying to keep the effect of the flare, so setting the height to 1000m wouldn't be a good thing. i'm trying to find a height that is a good compromise.

or can i disable the nade sound as they hit? ie. will they always make that sound in mp or can i switch it off?

cheers,
filth.

hi filth, there are many things that differ in sp to mp. now setting the height might take some 'trial and errors' to get it right. but i'll call in a specialists for ya. but they might say the same thing as I did about the matter.
sometimes when a post doesn't get answered there is a reason. like, maybe it might take an hour for a scripter to work it out. sometimes it takes the guys awhile to reply. there also might not be an answer for your question. but i know you would at least like a reply. sorry about this 
cheers schuler

Neverthless, wrong board.

Our boards are divided the way they are for a reason.

You really should show a little more patience.
