It wasn't modest, but it was pertinent.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was pretty sure that everytime a serverside script is called, it tecnically "warps" the CNPC to that location and runs the script.
The CNPC is just a collection of code, it doesn't run anything. It might be involved in the running of scripts, but I doubt it.

Quote:
The "warping" is only as processor intensive as the serverside script itself.
Nonsense. The two are unconnected; the script's size and processor demands are not linked to the necessary computation in moving the CNPC.

And what do you mean by "physical presence"? None of the components of software necessarily have a "phyiscal presence"
Indeed, which implies that I wasn't talking about physical presences in the real world. A character NPC in a level has a physical presence. Every player has a physical presence. The CNPC has no physical presence.

Cool. Then name ONE.
