Morrowind is great, but it's a huge pain to keep track of your missions.

The game is still enjoyable. I think it's far better than Oblivion and Skyrim. It's just more of a warning.

slot of the element? Define slot.

I'm assuming you're doing something like this:

Hmm, the problem im having is that I have a vector of ships on a server, and the same vector on the client. But I want each client to have it's own ship which it controlls. Both the client need to know which ship is owned by which client. Just saving an ID of the slot would work as long as the vector stays the same size. But since it is a vector, the element in [1] will get moved to [0] if the old [0] get's removed. My solution (in my limited knowledge of c++) would be to give each client on the server a pointer to an element in the vector. But I have no way of sending a pointer to a client from the server. Therefore I need to send the slot that the client "owns".

An example.

There are 3 clients connected to the server, they have been assigned the ships in vectorOfShips[0],[1] and [2] and are able to controll them. The server knows that client 3 owns [2] and the client knows that it should place the camera at ship[2]. However, when client 2 disconnects and the server removes the ship from the vector, the ship which used to be in slot [2] will now be in slot [1]. I need to syncronise this between the client and the server so that the server can keep track of what client has what ship and the clients can get that information. For that I want to send an integer with the "slot" to the client, but I need to know what slot the server thinks that the client's ship is in. Hopefully that made some sense, im pretty tired.

Oh, well word of advice: DON'T SEND POINTERS or I will personally fly up to Sweden and slap you.

Secondly, if you're synchronizing the array of ships between all computers, shouldn't you just need to tell all computers to delete index [1] of their vector?

In answer to your question, if you have the pointer to an element in the vector, I don't think you can directly find the index of said array. You'll have to search for it.

I love std::function and lambda functions in C++ right now. Makes callbacks really easy and fun compared to function pointers and stuff.

Awesomeness in the form of a std::map. A map of vectors of functors of void functions. WOOHOO GO C++!

OK, can't quite think of a scenario where you'd need both of them in the same expression, but the point is you can assign values to variables in places other languages won't let you.

9 year old Om asked a very difficult question at the spooky action salon today: "If you have an entangled pair of particles, and one stays in the black hole and one stays out, what can we learn from studying the particle outside?"

A very interesting question. What would happen?

Entangling particles and throwing one of them into a different environment we know nothing about seems to be a new way of observing things.
