So I have a script in place in a few maps that I have that respawns vehicles after they've been destroyed (this is a MP map), but even before it gets destroyed, it shows two vehicles for the client. For the host, it shows one vehicle, as normal.

Is there a way to only get one vehicle to show up for both the host and the client, or is this just a side-effect from the script that can't be fixed?

I'm slightly confused. So if I add this test vehicle, then it will fix the issues with every vehicle, or do I have to use this script for all the vehicles that are supposed to respawn later on?

I guess I have to give you the original script to see where everything should fit in, simply because I haven't used a lot of scripts before, and killboxes were the only ones I've worked with.

(script continuous
(sleep 5000 )
(object_create_anew Banshee1)
(object_create_anew Banshee2)
(object_create_anew Gho1)
(object_create_anew Gho2)
(object_create_anew Gho3)
(object_create_anew Tur1)
(object_create_anew Tur2)
(object_create_anew Tur3)
(object_create_anew Tur4)
(object_create_anew Tur5)
(object_create_anew Tur6)
(sleep 5000 )
)

Well, there's the current script I'm using for respawning the vehicles. Any suggestions, L28?

Alright, perfect - but does the script have to have a name? I just name it script.hsc and compile it and it works fine...

From my observations, these scripted and named objects or units do not seems to sync.
It's because names of objects are not transmitted in mp (makes sense, because named objects are an sp thing).
The duplicate is the named object on the server host's computer.
Example:

That's good advice, but my observations aren't wrong. Object names do not sync.

I believe you, because I know what you're saying is true. That test would work, but not because object names sync. Object names aren't transmitted in multiplayer, and that test doesn't work with a weapon.

Dude, I'm saying it works. The vehicle name isn't sent over the internet, though.

By what number vehicle it is.

I've always viewed syncing as having a loose and strict interpretation-- the loose applies here. For the third time, you're right.

Sorry for the four-day-old bump, but thanks for the help, guys. I'll be giving this a runthrough ASAP.
