locality of an object after 'detach object'

[loki 1]

howdy...

issue is ONLY on dedicated:

how do you get around that a global object becomes local when 'detach object' is fired off?.. like in a paradrop script?

You could simply set the locality back to where you want it to be:

If the para drop runs on the server, otherwise you'd have to request to the server to set locality back to wherever.

What happens after the detach?

Can't you have a function to do the rest (after detach) and do a BIS_fnc_MP with the object as target (so it runs where the object is local)

thanks for the replies:

@trajin - setOwner won't work because 'any' player is just picking up a vehicle and dropping it off.

@cuel - it appears that when 'any' player uses the attachTo.. the object attached becomes local to the client machine that ran the function. hence when the sever tries to create a parachute and move the 'detached object' into it.. i get the 'object' is remote error.

what i did was ugly and doesn't solve the isssue of the function... but oh well. thanks for the insight.

server grabs the object right after detach.. deletes it and spawns a new object in its place.. object is now global again..

<snip>
_dropped_type = typeOf _dropped;
_dropped attachTo [_veh,[0,2,-5]];
sleep 0.1;
detach _dropped;

//ugly workaround.. i hope
deleteVehicle _dropped;
_newObj =_dropped_type createVehicle position _veh;
_newObj setpos (_veh ModelToWorld [0,0,-16]);
