Create only 1 vehicle on Server

[[aps]gnat 28]

I thought I had this shyt sorted, but it seems not .....  

I have a "Multi-gun" addon that I want MP compatible.

The script lines that createvehicles the extra weapons is after a;

Quote[/b] ]? (!local Server) : exit

I'm using a "Server" gamelogic in the editor, yet I still get multiple creations of the same weapons on each addon!

It looks like it may be one copy per player on the server !

The create-weapons script is fired once from the main addon's (ship) INIT event.

Any idea what is the best way to ensure when I INIT an Addon only ONE firing (on Server I guess) of the appropraite script (that createvehicles) happens?

You've done it in the correct way, it's even better to use the vehicle you attached the EH to (then you don't need the additional logic):<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">?!local (_this select 0):exit

Show us more of your scripts, maybe you're starting them more times? Or you forgot to update the clients to the latest verion?

Or you forgot to update the clients to the latest verion?

Arh !    theres a point! Did the other tester also DL the last Upload I did !!!

Thanks raedor ..... I'll try/check both suggestions
