Ok. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

First off TB TC's web page is now www.jkteambattle.8m.com

Secondly I tried all the flags I was given. But it seemed to work with 0x404. But there's a catch. The hostage is synced until a player clicks "use" on him (or tells him to follow him" and then they become hidiously unsynced. Does anyone have a solution for this?

Thanks yet again.
Team Battle.

Line breaks aren't necessary. In my smaller cogs I don't bother, in larger ones I like to include them so that it is clearly visible where each message is.
