Placed Unit Warps on JIP

[salty6924 12]

I am having an issue that when a player jips into my mission, any placed civ thats playing an Animation via its init warps to the lower left hand corner of the map.

Any one know off the top of they're head why this would be?

Define "warps", and your running the animations in the civilians init field in the editor (just for clarification).

They instantly travel to the same spot on the map 00,00,00. that what i meant by warping, apologies for being so vague.

And yes, the init in the editor is where the animations are called from. Here is the units edit panel.

Interesting. I remember way back I had a init command that made the AI sit (around a campfire). Everything worked fine in singleplayer. When I tried multiplayer all of the AI were missing. Judging by your problem description it means my AI didn't disappear, but were warped away. I think I still have the mission, and now I want to test it out, lol.

put a marker on the units that tracks, and youll see em just pop away to 000,000 in the maps lower left hand corner. Thats how i noticed.

Add if (!isServer) exitWith {}; in front of init and see if it fixes the teleporting.

I always use a trigger with its condition set to "true" for unit anims.

run the init on server only

Elaborate?

[epicgoldenwarrior 11]

name the unit something, Ill call him bob.

trigger:

Size: 0/0

Condition: true (literally, thats all you need to write)

On ACT: bob switchMove "animationname";

thats pretty much it.

[[this,"LEAN"],"BIS_fnc_ambientAnim",false,false,false] call BIS_fnc_MP;

Will execute function on the server once at mission start.
