Hey forum people.

I try making a script from scratch, then tried using the EasyHaloScripter, but everything still doesn't work!


I was thinking of making a few maps with multiple devices in it for multi player stuff, but when i put in my 3 scripts i get a weird error

I have no clue what that means or how to fix it

thats it exactly

wow what does it do?

lol read the topic

but to quickly answer ur question i think the term is a "biped squish"?

it kills a biped to make certain things sync like devices and BSP changes

I've got to learn this. Can anyone give me a list of things that the server does syncronizize thing that need a biped squish to syncronizize and things that won't ever syncronizize?

It would be really helpfull to anyone in this community to have a list like that.

i know that AI can nvr sync

I know BSP switching needs a biped squish like how night and day are done in certain maps

Animated scenery: i think are the same with devices except with the use of object_create_anew

Scripted explosion: im not sure but i think they could sync

and yes i still do have that problem this post was created for

Think Again.

It isn't perfect though.

I tire of this misconception. AI can NEVER EVER sync becasue the information about them is not transmitted between client and server. There is no almost when it comes to Syncing. Either it does or it doesn't and AI in Halo CE does not sync. Period. It is sort of like being almost pregnant.

can we plz stay on topic?

I've tried to work around it but nothings been working!!
I would love to know wat causes that error
