mad rabbit 0 Posted November 20, 2005 Quick Question: In regards to "camCreate" and "createVehicle"... What's the difference between using these commands in a multiplayer map or any map for that matter? In other words, when would you use one command instead of the other? i.e. I see a lot of people use camCreate for creating shells in mid-air and createVehicle for creating a plane in mid-air, but you can use the two commands in both settings inter-changably to the best of my knowledge. ------------- Just wondering as I've been working on a CTI for about 2 years now and I've always used createVehicle...

hardrock 0 Posted November 20, 2005 camCreate works only on the client it is executed on. Remembers, cutscenes are always played locally. So if you use camCreate to create a vehicle, it will only be created on the clients you run the command on. Not so with createVehicle. Also, camCreating a unit causes a little delay in the usability of the vehicle (unless you make use of the reveal command, if I'm not mistaken). Means, if you use camCreate to create a vehicle, the player first has to "see" the vehicle (actually that takes a couple of seconds) until you can get in. I think that problem doesn't appear when using createVehicle. Of course the behaviour of camCreate can be useful, e.g. if you want to create some object only on one computer.
