pd Wrote:HouseClass:: Player() returns a pointer to the current player, sitting at the very computer. That's my point though. The code runs on both computers, right? So won't the Player() function return different players on each computer? This would mean that whenever I click, I own the spawned MCV, whereas my opponent thinks that he owns the spawned MCV, therefore desync. Unless the HousePlayer class is being inherited by your routine from the calling routine, and the calling routine has set up the class to be for the correct player?
Also, I assume that your routine does actually get called for my opponent who didn't click the mouse? - if it doesn't then I will get an MCV but my opponent doesn't see that an MCV has been spawned at all.
Ever wondered what the hell is going on?
Believe me friend you're not the only one.

For every computer, the pointer to its respective HouseClass is stored here.
The pointer gets read, and the unit will be created using that pointer.
If you click, it will be created with HouseClass #1 globally, which is stored in your local Player pointer.
If your buddy clicks, the unit will be created with HouseClass #2 globally which is stored in his local Player pointer.
This is exactly how the original game does it, don't worry about it. 
All "my routine" does is read from memory btw, I didn't code anything up myself really. It's just a function rather than a static variable to assure you always get the current pointer, in case you left the game and it changed.

Just to keep you informed, again, I'm having a little break from this, this time I got a reason though. 
My favorite UT2004 server was moved to a new place, and I was chosen to be the new Game Admin despite the fact nobody knows me in that community.
So you can guess what I'm doing now, trying to get into that spot and into that community so people can acknowledge me as a trustworthy new Admin.
In case anyone's interested, the server I'm talking about is the Titan RPG VCTF server, which now belongs to the Big Battle Servers:
