Thread: A lot of mapping woes

This is me guessing because I have very little experience with multiplayer (zero with online player manipulation) and I can't test this, so:

Code:

main:

	thread PlayerCheck

end


PlayerCheck:
	
        local.player = $player 	// get initial player array
		
	if (local.player.size > 0)               // server isn't empty
	{	
                local.index = 1                   // start at player 1
		level.resync = NIL              // reset player re-sync flag
		waitthread InstantiateJumpChecks local.player local.index    // initialise JumpCheck threads for each player
		
		while (!level.resync && local.player.size > 0)
		{
			if (local.player.size < $player.size)	// someone has joined
                        {
				local.index = (local.player.size + 1)      // get index to start from
				level.resync = true                             // sync up the players so we can give them a JumpCheck
                        }
				
			waitframe
		}
		waitframe
		goto PlayerCheck        // someone joined (or disconnected), re-synchronise array (don't wait long)
	}
	wait 1
	goto PlayerCheck    // server is empty, check until we get someone (wait a bit longer)
	
end

InstantiateJumpChecks local.player local.index:
        level.inProgress = true
	for (local.i = local.index; local.i <= local.player.size; local.i++) 
	{
		if (local.player[local.i] && !local.player[local.i].isHandled && local.player[local.i] == $player[local.i])
                {
                	local.player[local.i] thread JumpCheck
                        $player[local.i].isHandled = true
                }

                if !(local.player[local.i] == $player[local.i])
                        level.resync = true
		
                if (level.resync)
			break                // someone disconnected during instantiation, finish early and do PlayerCheck again
		
	}
        level.inProgress = NIL
end

JumpCheck:	
	while (self)
	{
		if (isAlive self && self getposition == "offground" && self.useheld)
		{
			println "JUMPING & USING - DO SOME STUFF!"
                        while (self && isAlive self && self getposition == "offground")
				waitframe                // wait until you land
			println "FINISHED - TRY AGAIN?"
		}
		waitframe
	}			
	if (!self && level.inProgress) 	// someone has disconnected during the instantiation process
		level.resync = true
end

Maybe useless, but I decided to take a little shot at what it may look like. It could be augmented by taking further advantage of the local.player array as a reference.

Edit: just tested what I could (1 player) - it works, but I think at this point it will fire the code even if you fall and press use.

It rings a bell - is that Reborn functionality or just AA multiplayer stuff?

btw, I've heard a few people mention in other forums that original AA maps were released to the community, which ones and is there a download for them? Sorry, not really been in the loop for years.
