Multiplayer SKIPTIME Problem
« on: 07 Sep 2003, 19:23:51 »
Hi

I'm working on a MP map at the moment that requires the skiptime command, but, when I advance time on the server machine, the time skip doesn’t seem to be recognised on any of the other participating machines, not even on the watch. I've also tried running the script through the server from one of the other machines and the effect is the same but in reverse, it only works on the other machine.

Desperately require help soon before I "accidentally" damage some very expensive equipment. :gunman:

Thanks in advance.

Skiptime has to be run on each client, make sure it is running on everything (even the server) and you will have no problems.

This brings me nicely onto my next question, the skiptime command is triggered due to an exclusive addaction command attached to one member of the west team.

As a result of extensive tests I noticed that the skiptime command synchronises when triggered by a radio command, but i don't want anyone else to have to capability of executing this.

If anyone can think of a way to get round this easily without adding a radio command, executing it and then instantly removing it, then it would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. Many thanks to "RED" for his time, Cheers Geezzz

Let the force be with you!!!!

yeah, use monitoring scripts on each client.
okay, to make it simple, not efficient:

put a trigger on the map with the condition:

GoSkiptime

and the activation with the skiptime command (e.g., "Skiptime 12")


attach to the leader an action that starts the following script:

GoSkiptime = True
PublicVariable "GoSkiptime"


cheers
