Send info about Multiple Objects

[Tuna]

I'll do my best to make sense...

This situation involves the OINC object, but this is not a question about OINC (the OINC part i can do).

I am creating a "server" for a multi-player game. The server keeps track of 20 or so objects that are all identical, other than their position on the frame. These objects are always in motion.

When a player enters the area that is controlled by this "server", I want to send the position of each of these objects to the player.

I need to send the data only once when each player enters the frame, from there, the client application will handle the rest.

Thanks!

Wouldn't you just use the

*On Peer Connect:
-Send X("Object") + ";" + Y("Object") on Subchannel somthing

and use the string parser to separate?

[Tuna]

Well, yes, that part is true. I know how to send the data.

The problem is that i have 20 objects, all made by creating new instances of an original object.

I can't figure out how to loop through and get the position of each to be able to send them each when the on peer connect event happens. if it were ONE object, that would be no problem.

[RickyRombo]

oh! So their aren't 20 players, there are 20 objects that aren't specific etc etc...

Spread value in alterable value a of objects?

*On loop "send the x and y"
+Alterable value a of object = loopindex("send the x and y")
-Send the blah

does that help at all? I'm not quite sure exactly what kind of "objects" you are talking about...

[Tuna]

Yeah, you pretty much nailed it... I think that will work. Let me give it a shot.

A little clarification: The objects are Active Objects.

Is there a way to get an an active object's direction as well?

[RickyRombo]

Dir("Active")

Thanks... I knew that, just had a moment of total ignorance! lol
