Hi folks,

still playing around with the multiplayer commands and stuck at one point:

if I create a net game, do I have to register my player as player no. 1 ?

The setup already works fine, but if the client joins, it gets a player no. 1, but should have 2?

RTFM says:

Create player: this command will create another player within the net game. This player will be an additional player to the default player created when you created or joined the game...

Hey, ok, but the default player is not no. 0, is it? because I could not send a specific message to player 0... 0 means sending it to all.

Could one of you push me into the right direction, pls?

regards,
P!

as far as i know.. the creator of the netgame is player 0.. and i think that you've forgot to creat a player for the host. so that's why the player of the client is 1, because theres no other created player.

Do you need a complete FPS,3rdPS engine ?? Or a collision command libary?? well here it is:

ahhhhh... the creator is the highest number in the list...

if you create a net game with 8 players, the creator is number 8

and now I am stuck with sending the string message over... the perform checklist shows me both players... once in a while I send a net message string to the ZERO (=all) ... but it seems to vanish in cyberspace ...

more ideas?

thanks,
P!
