Quick MP global trigger question.
« on: 17 Sep 2008, 18:08:18 »
Hello,

I put a global trigger in a mission (placed in the editor).

condition: true
timeout: min 1600 max 2000 med 1800

This trigger should then activate and start a sideradio message, but It was only heard on the hosted server machine.
Is the min, max, med times different on every machine?

I thought the server coordinated the triggers to be activated at the same time on every machine, regardless of those "random" functions.

Cheers

That random will get calculated on every computer. So it won't synchronise.

I think the random he means is the timeout, which should be synched, otherwise it would be useless. What was your trigger condition?
urp!

The difference between timeout and countdown is that in one case it is required, that the condition stays the complete time true, in the other case it is only required once.
But that doesn't effect the random calculation of the timeout.
