Quit if it's multiplayer

[Nemesis6]

I know there are commands to determine of the player is host or client, but is there a command to completely determine of there are more than one player? Thanks in advance.

there IS a script code, mostly used to "switch" effects off if the game is MP.

in scripts, it looks like this:

   ?mpGame: goto "skip"

It makes the gameEngine check if your in a multi player game, but maybe I just misunderstand yer Q (?)

Nope, you enterpreted it just right. It's for changing from an object based fire to a script based one if the current game is MP. Thanks very much both of you.

Just telling... I tried this command thing recently, and it didn't work.

Why do you need to determine the number of players

I think you mean the command local... ( )

Code snippet showing how to determine the number of players in a MP game:

Code: [Select]

nplayers=(playersNumber east + playersNumber west + playersNumber resistance + playersNumber civilian)

? nplayers=0: hint "You are in a SP game";exit
hint format ["You are in a MP game with %1 players in total.",nplayers]
There are other ways of determining wether you are in MP or SP mode, though. Another nifty trick is to use the result of the missionStart command:

Code: [Select]

_mpgame=({_x > 0} count missionStart > 0)
? _mpgame: "You are in a MP game"
?!_mpgame: "You are in SP mode"
(Reason: missionStart will return the result [0,0,0,0,0] when in single-player. In MP, the result will not be all zeroes.)
