How can I make a multiplayer game have a time limit and goes to the next map when the time limit is up.
I tried this:
Code:
function gameConstruct(game,obj)
{
// set the scaling factor for the bitmaps
iface.screen.widthScale=640;
iface.screen.heightScale=480;
// if not a network game, then set start map and
// position, otherwise get that info from the host
if (!map.setting.multiplayer)
map.action.setMap('Training course','Start','Player');
else
map.action.setHostMap();
game.event.chain(50,'loadNewMap');
}
function loadNewMap(game)
{
map.action.setMap('Towers','Start','Player');
}
It says setMap is illegal for Client games.

There's no way to do this right now, it'd have to be coded on the server. I can add that.

function gameOver(game,obj)

}
function restart(game,obj)
{
map.action.setHostMap();
game.event.chain(50,'gameOver');
iface.bitmap.hide('Game Over');
}
I've done that for now (it just loads the host map every now and then).
I'm wondering if people that join late would that timer start over for the late joiner?
One more thing: Is it possible to make a maximum score in multiplayer, so the person to get to 25 points wins then the match restarts?

That code above (as you noted) could cause a bunch of synch problems as it'll happen on the client without server interaction.

No, that's also a good idea, though, and that should be in server too.

Can you PLEASE do that? Thanks for the help.
