-== Locality in Multiplayer ==
-'''
-Entities in OFP are handled, in multiplayer, by one computer alone, which sends updates about this entity to other computers connected to the MP game.
-A unit is said "local" when it is handled by the local computer.
-To know if a unit is local, use the local script command.
-The basic rules to determine locality are as follows
-- Player's character is of course local to player's PC
-- AI units in a group whose leader is player are local to player's PC.
-- AI units in a vehicle under player's command are local to player's PC.
-- All other AI units are local to server (may be player's PC, of course).
-Knowing locality of a unit is very important as certain command only affect local units (see moveInDriver for example).
-Other commands have only local effect, nothing will be done outside of computer where the command was issued (see setFog for example).
