MP Arty almost working...

[Soapyfrog]

Using TakeOffTim's Fast Artillery script and trying to get to work in MP.

Problem is that although the explosions affect all clients, the smoke and particle animations as well as the sorch marks and sound do not register on any client except the one who called the strike.  The explosions aren't invisible, you can see the firey blast, but none of the other associated special effects are there.

Any suggestions?  Here are the relevant scripts:

init.sqs

Code: [Select]

publicVariable "ARTfire"
publicVariable "ARTammo"
publicVariable "ARTadjustment"
onMapSingleClick {[_ctrl,_alt,_pos] exec "Artillery.sqs"}
ARTfire = false
ARTammo = 100
ARTadjustment = [0,0]
exit

Artillery.sqs

publicVariable "ARTfire"
publicVariable "ARTammo"

ugh.  Don't make me look at that

With 1.90+ Createvehicle supports shell simulation types.
So replace all your camcreate commands with createvehicle and see what happens.

I'll give it a try!  Thanks for the tip...

[Soapyfrog]

Createvehicle works like a charm, thanks!!
