Need to know...

... Does the command line:

[HTML]AddDynamicTint(player, 0, 0, 0.5);[/HTML]

allow other players in MultiPlayer to see the "dynamic tint" that gets added to the effected player's position?

ALSO: do the flags "0x240" cause things to be seen by other MP players or does this mask the activity generated within a COG that has said flags?

Help appreciated...

Did you even look in the DM?

Means it's run locally, not over a network

Cogs are usually run locally and must be synced. If you still can't figure out if it is synced or not, try it out with another computer in a MP game and see for yourself.

Hmmm... I did catch that in the DM. That _does_ answer the question, but this suggestion:

is the only way to go. Been a long time since I been in an MP game... seems like other players' dynamic tint was visible to all when powerups are obtained. I'm pretty sure the "AddDynamicTint" is called through an item COG.

Thanx!
