1

so i’m trying to make friendly fire option, that the hoster of the server can choose between 2 buttons “Enable”,“Disable”.
if he chose enable - friendlyfire = true;
if he chose disable - friendlyfire = false;

but i need to send the Choice of the hoster to every player who connect to the server (as client).
i mean … if the “friendlyfire” variable in the hoster set to true, then the “friendlyfire” variable of every player who connect to the server, will set to true too.

and if if the “friendlyfire” variable in the hoster set to false, then the “friendlyfire” variable of every player who connect to the server, will set to false too.

i triend but without any success, and i need your help.

Send gameconfiguration on player connection, or when a change happen to this configuration.

Old quake game send each game cvar separated with / at player connection (one way containing gamestate, the other containing player data such as pseudo)
Just do the same.

Don’t trust the clients with enforcing the friendly-fire though. You should handle damage completely on the server to keep everyone in sync, and to make sure you don’t end up with one client having friendly fire enabled while the rest do not. After all, the user might change the contents of the memory on his machine, either on purpose or not.
