multiplayer entity troubleshooting
Hey coders,
At the EntityManager::handleNewMap function it looks like this is where the entities for get loaded and tracked for later rendering onscreen. The issue I ran into was if I introduced this code snip for (multiplayer mode),the program seg faults:
for(int y = 0; y < eset->misc.net_pc_count; y++){
Entity *nete;
nete->stats.pos = pc->stats.net_pc[y].pos;
nete->stats.direction = pc->stats.net_pc[y].dir;
entities.push_back(nete);
}
-----gdb bt----------

578 unsigned index = stats.layer_def[ff][i];

It looks like entityFocus is trying to determine the renderbounds,but the variable is going out of bound? I have reached brick wall on this logic. if anyone is able to overcome please elaborate.
As far as I know this is not a coding forum. (But maybe a coder is around to help you.') I would recommend using
https://freegamedev.net
instead.
This is the correct forum: the question is in regards to the FLARE engine's behavior to a custom script.
--Medicine StormBreakthrough..I got it working with the following snip:
for(int y = 0; y < eset->misc.net_pc_count; y++){
Entity *nete = new Entity();
nete->stats.animations = "animations/enemies/training_dummy.txt";
nete->loadAnimations();
nete->stats.pos = pc->stats.net_pc[y].pos;
nete->stats.direction = pc->stats.net_pc[y].dir;
entities.push_back(nete);
}
