.:QUESTION/HELP:. Syncing Lasers

[Zibuya]

This might sound or atleast be kinda complex, however: I need to synchronize lasers via either variables, or some kind of movables. Basically, i need it for my map called zibuya-energy. Theres a battery that charges up, and once it's charged up, lasers will be activated that will do damage. The big thing is tho, that this is DM, and it's important for me to have it as DM, COOP and TDM. The battery was made with movables and decorations, not with variables if someone might ask. If somebody know how to sync the damage, then im happy about any response!

I do not see how it can be perfectly synced without using vars.

You need to change your design so that it uses variables. I would have a variable that holds the battery power, which would then be synced every time a player joins. After it's synced you of course have to change the battery power that's shown and activate the laser if necessary. This should only be done on the client of the player that joined, so make a 1-second timer that's activated on start, which makes those changes.

If you do that it'll have very basic sync, but as the laser is active for about 9 seconds, it can be 9 seconds off at most depending on when a player joined. An easy fix would be to increase the variable every second so that it's more precise. It would make it go faster, but that's easy to fix (change shown battery power every 3rd second, etc).

So remake it first, then try to sync it. It shouldn't be too difficult if you know variables and how to sync them.
