npc/rc

[royce]

ok if i used putnpc in a level and another person walked in the level afterwards would they see the same npc as me? i know there needs to be a text file.....also for the rc, if the player is online (on the rc account) will the server disconnect them?

yes putnpc stays till it destroys itself or updatelevel
and
RC idles forever

yay it should be in the level for the nxt person, but very often people going into the level after the NPC was put they can't see it but it's there...

sometimes the lvl can leave the d/b (like no1 is there so it unloads the lvl to free up space)
.. but i dont think with putnpc that happens. . I kno this cuz back in 1.41 on bravo if u layed stuff around it would stay there heh.
but of course the npc's are still working locally (like this. vars and stuff are local)

well i want to use a time system put how would every player have the same time? well my solution is dump my 3 computers and buy 4 more , hook'em up with cable, run a account on there that sets time for all players......mwahaaa haaa....

thats psycho. but....how...
wait leave the player online, they will be disconnected...wait...you confuse me....

if i have a rc account on 24/7 on a new Xeon I am getting then that will keep the time for all players (same time) ......

[Saga2001]

you can't run npcs off or rc, how do you plan to keep time with rc?

or you can use TIMEVAR which is a server wide variable that adds 1 to itself every 5 secons, as your time thing. ^_^

[royce]

yes but if hte player signs off then signs on again the time resets right?

[Warcaptain]

timevar isnt reset, unless you reset the server.

[royce]

aww thats tighte.....ok so if i got on a server for the first time and it used timevar, i would have the same time as another player that has been playing for weeks? like do i always get the same time as others or does the time start when i first enter the server for the first time?

[zell12]

Timevar is on g2k1 and ya got the same time as everyone else, so I think so...

[royce]

but dan i think thats controlled with the npc server.
