Say for example, I shoot and kill someone in an FPS. How would the person that I fragged "know" who they were killed by? Seems like a paradox. Spazuhs?

When a pc registers a kill (host or client), you just send the 'who killed who' data in a packet across the net just like any other data. Since you only 'killed' the avatar, not the player or the pc, they get the data and can read it. Where is the paradox?

Yes, but where does the 'who killed who' data come from. That's my trouble.

It's not the variables that get me. It's more of who sends what, when.

Thank you, spazuh. I guess that command was on the page that got ripped out of my book.

That sounded harsh.
I'm not that new; I've been programming for about four years now, DB for about eight months. Just haven't touched DB in forever.
