And Smith, are you 110% sure you have the latest version?  Just peculiar if you didn't get the mine effect...  

http://www.europeinruins.com/updater/getFiles.php and unzip to your COH directory...

Maybe try again as you as the defender and see if you get the mine effect and Cozmo doesn't?

I used the launcher and played a game all the way through with torjado, cozmo and asmith. If I had the wrong version all sorts of things would have caused sync errors wouldn't they?
There was an officer on the field so thats one thing that was changed with the last patch.
ill find someone to try another game with

[|-|Cozmo|-|]

yea but the flares started to drop about 5 seconds after it hit the mine. (does the replay work?)

edit- crap the refresh didn't show all the posts .

[fldash]

Yea, probably would have had issues... just can't fathom why it would only turn show up on one side of the coin...

Maybe try a 2v2, have one person go across and see if his partner sees/hears the mine.  If he doesn't, then I know it's only doing it to the local player, or only to one side...

I have found the error.  Sorry.  It is only running on the local players connection.  Will fix it tonight when I get home from work.

oohhh, That the sort of error I make. j/k i have no idea how complex your code is . keep the awesome work!

[Smithy17]

Played a game with me defending - my M8 triggered spawn arty and got hit by mine.
Torjado's screen didn't show this.
O.k you've found the problem

Here it is... just for you...  This is the fixed version BTW...

Code:

function EIR_DefenseSetupChecks()
	local pid
	
	if World_GetGameTime() < (battleStartTime - 15) then 
		sg_defense_temp = SGroup_CreateIfNotFound("sg_defense_temp")

		for i = 1, World_GetPlayerCount() do
			pid = Player_GetID(World_GetPlayerAt(i)) - 999
			if players[pid].isAlive == 1 then
				if players[pid].faction == battleObjectiveDefender then
					SGroup_Clear(sg_defense_temp)
					if battleObjectiveAttacker == 0 then
						for n = 1, table.getn(offmappositions.allies) do
							World_GetSquadsNearPoint(World_GetPlayerAt(i), sg_defense_temp, offmappositions.allies[n], EIR_SpawnProtectionDistance, OT_Player)
						end
					elseif battleObjectiveAttacker == 1 then
						for n = 1, table.getn(offmappositions.axis) do
							World_GetSquadsNearPoint(World_GetPlayerAt(i), sg_defense_temp, offmappositions.axis[n], EIR_SpawnProtectionDistance, OT_Player)
						end
					end
					if SGroup_Count(sg_defense_temp) > 0 then
						if players[pid].spawnTimeWarned == nil then
							players[pid].spawnTimeWarned = 0
						end
						if players[pid].spawnTimeArtillery == nil then
							players[pid].spawnTimeArtillery = World_GetGameTime()
						end							
						-- Warn them every 8 seconds...
						if World_GetGameTime() - players[pid].spawnTimeWarned > 8 then
							if Player_GetID(World_GetPlayerAt(i)) == Player_GetID(Game_GetLocalPlayer()) then
								EIR_NotifyPlayer("You are too close to the attacking teams entry point and are subject to artillery rounds.")
							end
							players[pid].spawnTimeWarned = World_GetGameTime()
						end
						-- Give them 10 seconds to get the hell out of dodge...
						if World_GetGameTime() - players[pid].spawnTimeArtillery > 10 then
							EIR_GameStartArtillery()
						end
						SGroup_Clear(sg_defense_temp)
					else
						-- All Clear...
						players[pid].spawnTimeArtillery = World_GetGameTime()
					end
				end
			end
		end
	else
		EIR_GameStartArtillery()
		Rule_RemoveMe()
	end
end

	end

surprisingly, I understand what is happening, why and what it refers to in game. But as i can see any of your other code and don't understand some more advanced things in scar I am not sure what some of the variables and commands refer too .
