Spawning Client slots in scripts

[sigzegv]

I'm trying to spawn aircraft multiplayer client slots in lua script at mission start (Because I want to populate some airfields randomly).

 

Dynamic spawn works perfectly for IA and Player skills in unit data, but only "Client" skill doesn't work, it just crashes the script with an error popup, but no message inside.

skill = "Random" // works fine
skill = "Player" // works fine
skill = "Client" // crash

Is there a workaround to achieve that ?

I don't think that's the proper way to create multiplayer slots ("clients"). But I'm not sure. Maybe you need to pre-declare all the player slots (client aircrafts), and then just move them to random locations instead.

 

Haven't tried creating multiplayer slots "during runtime" myself, someone else can probably provide you with a more experienced answer :-)

Nope, cannot spawn a client "slot".

But you can block it with Ciribobs Simple Slot Block.

thnx for your answers, I'll try runtime slot blocking then.
