ok I fixed the location of the c_move to where you said. However that did nothing
but you made me look at the logic, and I noticed even where you put it, was not quite right....I know that is not your fault...my code looked like..well you know the word. Thanks for telling me about the code thing..I have it working for right now...the code is below....how it should be. thanks you so much for the help...was getting frustrated with it
I do have one question though. I have ran it as host, and fired up a client as well. I watched as the client did it's thing...from the host I watched. this means that the code is taking place on the server? Again I am learning from the locoweed tutorial, so i am also trying to understand what goes on as I adjust things. Am I correct in saying thiss code is taking place on the server? I can't seem to see where the server is sending it to the client, nor do i see where the client might be sending it to the server...I done went and got confused lol.
this is the CORRECT CODE for the function..move_player()...thanks again Michael
Code:
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//move the player
function move_player
{
my.pan = random(360); // face a random direction
// We need the server to give the player his unique player_number...in the same order that the player logs in
number_of_players += 1; // the player has been created and is in the world...so we add one to the number of players
// on the server
send_var (number_of_players); //send the new number of players to all clients that are connected to the server
my.player_number = number_of_players; // This sets the player_number skill --> skill 1 --> see defines at top of script
send_skill (my.player_number, SEND_ALL); // send player_number skill to all clients
//this code helps solves issues with high latency between the server and the client.
sleep (.3);
ent_sendnow(my);
sleep (3); // solves high latency issues for right now.
//if not client...making sure that only the dedicated server reads throug this...not the client
if (connection != 2)
