There's a function on the weapon like "IsFirstTimePredicted", you'll probably want to use that on your clientside increment to prevent it adding to it multiple times.
Can't really explain why your server var isn't changing without seeing your code (my best guess would be that you aren't changing it). garry On Sun, Sep 14, 2008 at 5:18 PM, Idrox Gedrono <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi there, this is my first time sending anything in to the mailing list, > though I've been subscribed for a while.
