Thanks for your help. We're using the orange box version (source 2007).
This whole networking stuff is pretty new to me so I try to understand it by looking at how the other weapons are programmed. Here's why this confuses me as I can't find a difference between how the animation is called compared to other animations or other weapon scripts. I tried to follow the whole thing and apparently CHL2MPPlayerAnimState::DoAnimationEvent never gets told to do the animation. Additionally the function: bool CWeaponBook::Reload( void ) gets only called on the server in: CWeaponBook::ItemPostFrame This makes fits as DoAnimationEvent never gets told to do an animation on the client. Now here is whats confusing me. In the same function CWeaponBook::ItemPostFrame we have another call thats written the same way but this time its inside a switch statement: switch( m_AttackPaused ) m_AttackPaused is a CNetworkVar so I figured ok, lets try and code a new CNetworkVar and write an if statement for it so the reload animation only gets called when needed. And voila it worked! So while I think I understand this I still have one last question: Is this update/linking on all clients whenever we use a CNetworkVar something Valve has written or is this something C++ does on its own? I mean its pretty convenient but it confused the hell out of my because it wasn't coded explicitly (or instantly visible for that matter). :) Cheers, Tobias Psy_Commando <psycomma...@gmail.com> hat am 5.
