timereverywhere
 

Could someone tell me what it does.. i dont really get it...
Also kaimetsu if u read this i need to pm u one of my scripts that for some reason does not work when 2 players are in the room..

It basically makes it so that timeout works globeally instead of just for the leader. is usless in P2P codes.

Ok i made a couple things you know like when u start prov and it has those bars that u can choose your gender and stuff..
i made one of those but its not working when 2 players are in the room.. should i add timereverywhere.. this is nonp2p

I ferget all my experience with p2p, butum... try it?
methinks you should also use this variables, since they are local to the client.

if (playerenters){
timereverywhere;
}
??
i dont know where to put it

as long as it is called its fine.

if u do

NPC Code:

---

timeout=3;

if (playerenters||timeout) {

shootball;

}

---

only the first person (leader) in the level will be shot at. 2nd person wont
if u do

NPC Code:

---

timereverywhere;

timeout=3;

if (playerenters||timeout) {

shootball;

}

---

it will run the timeout for each person in lvl ;X

Thank you so much.

i just found out about the command. I was trying to make it in events that when i said Disable weapons were disabled then i say enable and it enables. It wasnt working but then i found that command and was happy =D

Mainly what happens is that the first person that enters the level will be affected by npc's if it uses player manipulation but when timereverywhere is coded it constantly is checking the level for players and events. When it is done without the command the second player or the second consecutive player in the room gets everything loaded from the first player.

Ok. This is what is going on (If I remember correctly what Stefan said).

In a non-p2p server (Non NPC Server), the first person in the level runs all the timeouts in NPCs. So, all timeouts are run on the level-leader's computer. But, when you call the timereverywhere; command, what it does is creates an instance of the NPC on everybody's computer. Now, what this does is kinda like Clientside on NPC Server. Since every player has his own copy of the NPC, any changes to the NPC are only seen on the player's computer. So, basically, if I remember right during my non-NPC Server scripting days:

NPC Code:

---

if (playerenters) {

  timeout=0.05;

}

if (timeout) {

  if (this.go==0) {

    x+=0.5;

  } else {

    x-=0.5;

  }

  if (x<1) this.go=0;

  if (x>63) this.go=1;

  timeout=0.05;

}

---

and

NPC Code:

---

if (playerenters) {

  timereverywhere;

  timeout=0.05;

}

if (timeout) {

  if (this.go==0) {

    x+=0.5;

  } else {

    x-=0.5;

  }

  if (x<1) this.go=0;

  if (x>63) this.go=1;

  timeout=0.05;

}

---

Now, the code makes an NPC move back and forth across the screen. In the first code, the first person in the level (leader) handles the timeout. Every person in the level will see the NPC move. In the second code, each person in the level receives their own copy of the NPC and runs their own timeout. Each person will see only their copy of the NPC, not anybody elses. So, do people understand?


(I am 90% sure I am correct about this. I haven't used free server scripting in a while. If I am wrong, please correct me!)

I thought that the second player or the player that enters recieves its npc crap from the first person (non-p2p). But the first person is still leader if the second player is in the room and teh second player recieves all 'in-level' attributes. What I mean by 'in-level' like variables and stuff that would only exist in that one level, not player attributes that are saved and stored.

Ok...I know I started a post asking almost the same question somewhere

What, you think I'm just some universal resource that fixes scripts on demand or something?

Kadar, if Kaimetsu won't help I'd be willing to try.

And Kaimetsu... that comes as part of being one of the best scripters of graal. :p

Heh. That has happened to me too.
