| A unit is said "local" when it is handled by the local computer.
| |
| | |
| To know if a unit is local, use the [http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/local 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.
| |
| | |
| - All other AI units are local to server (may be player's PC, of course).
| |
| | |
| - Vehicle is always local where the driver is local
| |
| | |
| Knowing locality of a unit is very important as certain command only affect local units (see [http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/moveInDriver moveInDriver] for example).
| |
| Other commands have only local effect, nothing will be done outside of computer where the command was issued (see [http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setFog setFog] for example).
| |
| | |
| A unit can change locality during its lifetime. Typical cases are a player dying (his squad AI units are passed to server), use of a [http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/join join] command, or units or players entering or exiting vehicles.
