Hidden Selection Problemo

[Scud 0]

Just want to make a certain part of the model dissapear in the game at a given point. Simple hmmm

I know the numbered selection is right coz if I start with it hidden it works (its hidden).

but I need it visible at the begining then using

_plane setobjecttexture [44,""]

it should dissapear - but it doesn't.

Ok have worked it out.

It seems I had to start with the hidden selection, texture it at very start and then hide it again later on.

Which was a hassel being a multi part and multi textured selection.

Oh well $#it happens.

what exactly doesn't work in MP?

if you have a init eventhandler that does the trick it will only run on server.

Use time condition to check if a game has been loaded, otherwise your texture will disappear. I would recommend having only one script use this condition otherwise with a lot of units your CPU will get bogged down..

In the plane's init script add it to a list, eg PlaneList, and in the player execed (make sure it is only executed once) script have the time condition, then {_x setobjecttexture blahblahblah} forEach PlaneList.

In multiplayer the init eventhandler should handle everything, provided you do not exit it with a "local _plane" thing.. SetObjectTexture is local only and every machine must execute the script (or at least that part of it) for the given plane even if it is not local to them..

I don't play MP but I am sure I read that this problem was fixed.
