Your problem is simple:

Player = Getlocalplayerthing();


That command doesnt work correctly in MP. It seems to return the host, instead of the actual 'local' player.


Use 'Newplayer' instead, and make Player equal the senderref.

In other words,



Bingo, problems solved...

Ok, I did what you wanted me to do, but i must of done somthing wrong, because now it doesn't even work, here is the edited one:

sector ClimbSector2=-1 linkid=4
sector ClimbSector3=-1 linkid=4
sector ClimbSector4=-1 linkid=4
sector ClimbSector5=-1 linkid=4
sector Climbsector6=-1 linkid=4

int climbing=0 local
int player local
int x local

end

code


exited: //get off ladder, left the ladder sector
if(climbing==0) return;
player=Getsenderref();

//Make sure player did not enter another climbing sector
for(x=0; x<6; x=x+1)
{
if(ClimbSector1[x]!=-1)
if(getthingsector(player)==ClimbSector1[x]) return;
}

ClearPhysicsFlags(player, 0x2000);
SetPhysicsFlags(player, 0x1);
detachthing(player);
climbing=0;
return;

entered: //at top of ladder (note: called when reached from top area or when climbing ladder)
if(climbing==1) Newplayer;
Player=Getsenderref();
detachthing(player);
ClearPhysicsFlags(player, 0x1);
SetPhysicsFlags(player, 0x2002);
if(Ladder3DO > -1) attachthingtothing(player,Ladder3DO);
if(LadderTexture > -1) attachthingtosurface(Player, LadderTexture);
climbing=1;
setpulse(0.5);
return;

pulse:

if(climbing==0)
{
setpulse(0);
return;
}
stopthing(Getsenderref());

//Failsafe--make sure player is in a climb sector
for(x=0; x<6; x=x+1)
{
if(ClimbSector1[x]!=-1)
if(getthingsector(player)==ClimbSector1[x]) return;
}
ClearPhysicsFlags(player, 0x2000);
SetPhysicsFlags(player, 0x1);
detachthing(player);
climbing=0;
return;

end

was i only suppsed to change one of the:

Player = Getlocalplayerthing();
??????????????????????????????????

newplayer is a message, not a command like GetThingFlags(thing); I also don't think that GetSenderRef() in the pulse returns the 'player'. replace it with player and try it out.

GBK, How sure are you of that? I thought GetLocalPlayerThing() worked correctly in MP.

Gilgalad, I skimmed over it, and saw a few things there:

GetSenderRef() only returns a thing value in a pulse if you used SetThingPulse() to start it.
AttachThingToSurf() - not surface - does not work properly.
ladder3do is undefined.
laddertexture is undefined.

You need to carefully review your code.

MP code isnt my area of expertise, but as far as I know, Getlocalplayerthing() returns the host, reguardless of what machine the query is run on.

Didn't you guys already have this arguement?

Could some one please fix this cog for me? I'm having no luck at all... If you want to mess with the origanal please email me at: [url="mailto:adm4him@aol.com"]mailto:adm4him@aol.com[/url]adm4him@aol.com</A>
