Is it possible to make a custom attribute run globally?

[headswe 17]

Like the isglobal switch on modules?

I am also wondering the same thing. This would be extremely useful to have

At present the expression is only executed on the server and so if a client needs to lookup a value it needs to be sent from this server. This adds a fair bit of overhead. I was hoping on the client we could assume that all attributes were executed by postInit. However it seems now that we must send data to the client probably group a global setvar and then on the client we must wait for it to arrive.

An example application would be a map tracker for various units with their marker being set through a custom attribute. At present remote exec/setvar must be done from the server.

This adds a lot of extra work that could be saved by having a global flag for custom attributes.

This would be wonderful to have for any mod that wants to both act in MP but have local effects on clients.

Agree, that would be a huge improvement of eden in terms of modding it. 

 

Current situation isn't ideal, especially for communities with a high player count, as the total amount of overhead, like snippers said, will increase drastically.

It seems like such a waste to have the server sync variables with `setVariable [x,y,true]` when the data already exists in the sqm that's loaded on all clients.

 

Another possible improvement would be to add a command like `getObjectMissionConfigValue`

Which could get an object's attributes from the sqm.

This!

Yeah that command would be awesome! And would offer a convienent alternative to wanting an option to global run attributes (Alongside a command for groups as well).

I didn't realise getMissionConfigValue worked for custom mission attributes until rather recently which does offer a means for the client to read custom mission attributes values
