Unsyncing the player....

[Hell Raiser]

I wanna see if something works, and I need to unsync the player. However, I don't notice any helpful flags in the Datamaster...

I dont think you can unsync the player...

Here's a way! Make a door cog that is local, you open it and disappear, then come back and you'll be gone or unsynced from other players!



flags=0x240
symbols

message activated

thing door

end
#
code
activated:
If(GetSenderRef()!=door) return;
if(IsServer())
{
MoveToFrame(door, 1, 8.0);
Sleep(3.0);
MoveToFrame(door, 0, 8.0);
return;
}
Print("STAFF ONLY!!!");
return;
end

http://forums.massassi.net/html/confused.gif How the F!!!, does that work? The players posistion would still be synced over the internet, JK coding. The only thing I would suggest you try is this, I dunno what this would do, just a quicky thing, but tell me if this does what you want and if you changed it.
Good job with the code tags. http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif

message trigger
end

code
Respawn:
If(!IsMulti()) Return;
If(GetSenderRef() != GetLocalPlayerThing()) Return;
SendTrigger(-1, 100, GetSenderRef(), 0, 0, 0);
Return;

Trigger:
If(GetSourceRef() != 100) Return;
If(GetSenderRef() == GetPlayerThing(GetParam(0))) Return;
DestroyThing(GetParam(0));
Return;
end I'm not sure if this works or not, untested, but you should get the idea.

Could you create a controllable clone of the player, and keep it local? You sound like you want a system where someone could "stop time" or something, allowing them to move anywhere without anyone else being able to see where.

No, I just wanna bypass JKs player syncing netcode.

Oh and DP, only the host can destroy other players from it's computer, and well, that'll boot them out of the game.

Now how would THAT work!? That'd be cool, whatever it is.

well basicaly, you would have to take the players orginal postion, save it, then make a new object based on teh players template, give the orginal player a collide of 0 and sucth, then use the cog to take the players vector, and trasfer it onto the 'newplayer' then, set the camra onto the 'newplayer' and use a pulse to continuously set the players vector onto the 'newplayer' and finaly when done take the newplayers position, and place the palyer there.

it would be simple to set it up so every tenth pulse the player is set to his starting postion, but that wont effect the new player.

(transfer the players vector, BEFORE you reset his postion.

Hellraiser, I dont think this is the solution you are looking for but I have seen some interesting result from people doing something like this:

Have all players (except the one you want to unsync) do this:

SetThingFlags(unsyncperson, 0x300);

If the player did it to himself he would freeze. Good Luck.
