Dedicated Server and animation

by Howard Dortch · in Torque 3D Professional · 06/13/2011 (11:16 am) · 3 replies

I have some objects in the game that users will access and a door opens. Just a simple animation. When they finish, the door closes.. Any time a player logs into the game the door is always open on their client but closed on all other clients. How can I set the state of these animations on a new client login?

hi, you could add something like this for when the door is opened, so it is then played on all clients.

your function call for door open goes here

for (%i = 0; %i < %count; %i++) // go through each client id
 {
  %cl = ClientGroup.getObject(%i);
  %client = %cl;

  //  door animation code here for %client.
   
  }

It does depend how you are doing it, if its client side or server side?

I guess I wasn't clear. The animations work fine when all the clients are standing there looking at the object. The problem is when a client leaves the game and comes back later. The clients that have been on see the door open, some action then the door closes. A player logs in at some later time and that client sees the door open.
I have no way of telling what the state of the animation is on a per client basis. I'm sure it's a bug since I have no script control over what a client sees/
