Description:: Check if given unit is local on the computer in Multiplayer games (see Locality in Multiplayer for general concepts).
This can be used when some activation fields or scripts need to be performed only on one computer. In Singleplayer all objects are local.
Note: Map created objects (those placed in Visitor) are local everywhere.
Problems:: In MP remote objects are not initialised in functions called by initline or init eventhandlers.
Groups:: Uncategorised

hardrock: Notes from before the conversion: In multiplayer, a game logic will always be local to the host computer. This works on both dedicated and player-hosted servers.
