I don't have that error. I guess its because I got rid of my system 32

explain better plz  (what is tha leads and what occurred)
and the chainsaw not a glitch

[Lemonade]

IMO he mispelled "that leads". He meant he got the bug when he climbed the ladder that lead to the chainsaw.

what id like to see is gg2 styled sprites.

you can get almost all infected and survivors by asking in sprite request thread, they have been done before

can you ask for me?
and do you mean this?

(fight 4 live in mod section)
or you wanna infected runner/pyro or something?

[Orpheon]

Halp.


Now I've got a problem. I need to make the client check whether there are the same number of zombies on the server as on the client. If there are too few, it'll create a few. If there are too many, it'll delete a few.

At the bottom of my code you'll see my problem. To create a set number of zombies, all you have to do is:

Code:

for (i=0; i<=(num_of_infected-instance_number(InfectedCM)); i+=1)
{
     instance_create(0, 0, InfectedCM)
}

How do I delete a set number?

why dont you put this in to Director spawning event(in the new version it call "spawn" script):

Code:

ServerSpawn(InfectedCM,x,y)
//in the server spawn script:
write_ubyte(5)//id of the spawn stuff.in this case infected is 5
write_ushort(x*25)//it might be write_uint as the size of the map gonna be big as hell
write_ushort(y*25)

and put this into the spawning code:

Code:

if global.isHost = true
create stuff

you could use the global.isHost in every random event so only the server execute the random event and the server dont,just receive and play

and the deleting infected you might wanna do like this:

Code:

for (i=0; i<=(instance_number(InfectedCM)-num_of_infected); i+=1)
infected=ds_list_find_value(global.infected,i)
with infected
if distance_to_object(instance_nearest(x,y,Character))>640 or other.secondscan=1//destroy the farest zombie,if no farest zombie,destroy the oldest one in second scan
instance_destroy() //so it's like destroy the first zombie created.if you play l4d online,you will see sometimes the zombie dissappear

it complicated i know(and i dunno if that work)

(saying this if someone had a similar problem and didn't see our chat on the IRC)
We found an other solution, without having to store every zombie in a list.

Code:

global.zombie_counter = instance_number(InfectedCM)-num_of_infected
with InfectedCM
{
    if global.zombie_counter == 0
    {
        break;
    }
    instance_destroy()
    global.zombie_counter += 1
}

What?

I think the creator needs sprites for the characters and zombies.

Also, you can put the text you added in your signature instead of pasting it every time you post. Check your profile's signature and add it there.
