Multiplayer sync issues
2002-01-07, 3:36 PM #1
I know I've posted this before, but as yet I have found nor recieved any fix for it.

What happens is the hostage is synced until a player activates him. So if you push him round without activating him then both computers see him in the same place.

When the user activates on him the hostage on his computer follows him. But then another computer will only see in the place he was before he was activated.

Each user can kill each others hostage. I'm guessing its got something to do with a certian flag dormouse has used, not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This is just a piece of advice I heard a while back, but it didn't work for me so it probably won't work. You can try it anyway. Instead of it being a local cog (one user) make it say global instead of local. Global influences it on everyone's computer. It didn't work for me though so I'm not sure. Try it if you want.

And your guess is right. There is no 0x400 for cogs and I doubt there's a 0x4 flag. -Dormouse most likely got those flags from an untested example at Millennium.

I think the flag you're looking for is 0x200. This means, according to the JKSpecs, that "cog results are not broadcast to other computers."

----

What are you using the 0x2000 AI Mode flag for? And why are you setting the 0x9 modes?

----

It's AIClearMode() and not ClearAIMode().

----

The senderref of the touched message is never going to be the player because the cog is not receiving his messages.

Remember that touched: is called when an object is "touched", and not when the object touches something. For example, the player touches a surface; touched runs in the surface's cog, but does not run in the player's cog.

the 0x9 is the hostage has a look-target and a move-target and is looking / moving towards.

i don't remember where the 0x400 came from , i think it was from milenium thuogh.

as to the touched thing , that's to stop the hostage when he bumps into the player. this is good , cuz before he would tend to push the player off of ledges and such.
Also, I can kill you with my brain.

So you visit the Cog Forum, Dormouse? I thought you'd left cogging.

>>i think it was from milenium thuogh.

I'm pretty sure it was in Hideki's "Using Custom Projectiles in Multi Player Games" tutorial. There was a post about it a long while ago and the error was corrected.

>>as to the touched thing , that's to stop the hostage when he bumps into the player.

Because the cog is not receiving messages from the player, the senderref of the touched message cannot be the player. So you don't need to check both the sender and source for the player.

Sorry about that double post, lost my cable connection for a while.

Now that I think about it, that cog looks all wrong. Let me look through it carefully...

[edit]
Yeah, that cog is a mess. No way it could work in multiplayer.

I just spent the last one and a half hours fixing up that hostage cog. The result is a complicated server/client system that I *think* will work. But as with any other cog, it needs to be tested.

So if you'll send me your level, I'll test the cog and work out the inevitable bugs as well as I can. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]

I actually dont have much of a test level, but I will send you the temporary level mouse put it in. The level gob is run in patch commander and has a few other cogs in it.

You're certainly welcome, Hellcat, but I have some bad news. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif] I'm leaving on a two-day trip tomorrow, and I don't have time to get this cog working with MP. -The MP system is there, but the main problem is that SyncThingPos() refuses to work.

Of course, I'll finish the cog when I get back, but perhaps someone here will fix the MP problems and save you the time.

If the pos of the hostage is only synced from the sever then if the client activated the hostage would that work ok?

I have no idea when it comes to this kind of cogging [http://forums.massassi.net/html/eek.gif]

The hostage is supposed to move locally on each computer. The host will send his pos out to the clients to make sure the hostage stays synced.

When the hostage is activated, a trigger is sent out to the other computers (and the host); that will make the hostage move locally and the server will keep them synced.

Problem is, the trigger and the pos syncing don't work in that cog. I'll work on it some. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]

Whoa, thank you very much!!!

How would you like to appear? in the readme? Or in another way like a member?

hmm, I was testing it and for some reason it creates 2 hostages. I tried playing with the cog but got no where. Any ideas why?

Yeah, I know why that happens. The cog is being loaded twice and each cog is running on
its own. So they both create their own hostage. And I think the hostage doesn't
work because the cogs are ruining each other with their triggers.

Did you place this cog in the level with JED? The hostage template in the static.jkl
already has the cog assigned to it so you don't have to place it.

----
Several things:

I used the man1 template for the hostage and his key death key, mndie.key, is played when
trigger 803 is received. So if you use a different actor, be sure to put the correct
death key inside the LoadKeyframe() verb. You can find out which death key an actor uses by
looking in his .pup file.

The hostage's pos, lvec, and health are synced every 1/2 a second (5 pulses). Even
so, clients may see the hostage jump around as he teleports to the correct position.
Syncing more often will look better, but it may lag the game. It's a tradeoff.

Make sure that you take the FLEE instinct out of the hostage's ai file. Fleeing is random
and will be different on all computers.

Is there a way of preventing the cog from being run twice?

I know where it comes from. Millenium, Custom Projectiles Tutorial. In the text online there's correctly 0x240 but if you download the tutorial in the COG attached to it there's 0x404... I had trouble trying to understand which one was the correct one...

It's not normal for a cog to be loaded twice. To fix this, find where you listed the cog. It's probably listed in both the static.jkl and the level's jkl(placed with JED). The items.dat can also load cogs, but it shouldn't be listed in there.

So remove the cog from the level and that should fix it. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]
