Bart.Jan 0 Posted January 30, 2003 Do not name any unit player. Player is always soldier controled by gamer. In multiplayer player returns different names for each computer. You can name player's soldier for example soldier and then you can use both examples equivalently: </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> soldier moveindriver boat1 player moveindriver boat1<span id='postcolor'> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InqWiper 0 Posted January 31, 2003 You can actually name a unit player? I thought you would get an error message because player is already used bu the game...what if you name a unit other than the player "player", then you do: something setpos getpos player???

If some unit is named player then game moves with that named unit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hehe, that is so stupid You can actually name units East and West and stuff, I bet that could cause some troubble. I remember when I was making a script to keep track of the score it wouldnt let me use WestScore and EastScore because they are already used so I hade to use WestZcore and EastZcore....or something like that. I think thats the way it should be, if the game is already using the name then you shouldnt be able to make them something else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
