New Scripting Possibilities in Release candidate patch.

Argh forget to test it in multiplayer.
Ok then no recon missions in multiplayer, in singleplayer it makes not so much sense i think.

So, when you use that code you make label with player who enter the plane as author, sever will not send it to this player. But You can change the author of label, then it would be send to remote player, server is good candidate to be author(couse hi makes it really) like this :

using maddox.game;
using maddox.game.world;
using maddox.GP;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Math = System.Math;


public class Mission : AMission
{

    public override void OnPlaceEnter(Player player, AiActor actor, int placeIndex)
    {
        base.OnPlaceEnter(player, actor, placeIndex);
        Point2d p ;
        p.x = actor.Pos().x;
        p.y = actor.Pos().y;
        GPUserLabel ul = GamePlay.gpMakeUserLabel(p, GamePlay.gpPlayer(), actor.Name(), GamePlay.gpTimeofDay(), (int)GPUserIconType.Plane);
        GamePlay.gpDrawUserLabel(ul);
        p.x -= 300;        
        ul.pos = p;
        ul.Text = "Show player";
        GamePlay.gpDrawUserLabel(new Player[] { player }, ul);

        p.x += 600;
        p.y += 300;
        ul.pos = p;
        ul.Text = "Show army";
        GamePlay.gpDrawUserLabel(0,ul);
        p.x += 300;
        p.y += 300;
        ul.pos = p;
        GamePlay.gpDrawUserLabel(1, ul);
        p.x += 300;
        p.y += 300;
        ul.pos = p;
        GamePlay.gpDrawUserLabel(2, ul);
    }
    
}

it should draw 3 labels - actor.Name, Show player and Show army , try it please.

Maybe this will help you to solve the problem.

In multiplayer gpDrawUserLabel doesn't draw user labels for the player who was used in gpMakeUserLabel. One should use GamePlay.gpPlayer() (which is the "server") instead for gpMakeUserLabel.

Ok, will try it

Habs noch nicht probiert, aber navyr hats wohl erfolgreich auf nem Dedicated Server probiert und 3 Labels angezeigt bekommen.

Wenn es funktioniert wäre es auch für die JFS interessant, man könnte in der Navigationsschulung so eine Art Schnitzeljagd veranstalten. Die Frage ist halt wenn ich GamePlay.gpPlayer() verwende, es auch in einer selber gehosteten Multiplayer Mission funktioniert, in dem Fall ist gpPlayer ja der Spieler der hostet.
Muss mal testen.

Thanks a tonne Banks, or should I say Danke Sehr?

Still a NoGo as host, guess it works for SP and from a ded.server as described (but we don't have a ded.server exe yet do we? just a second license install where the player runs to another computer flying?)

Tried with "null" as player but still no marker.

In Arma, where I come from, we have "IsMultiplayer" and "IsDedicated" along with a lot of player/server procedures to cope with remote players, hosted server player and dedicated server with no player at all - sure miss them here.

(I prefer flying singleplayer as multiplayer-host on locked server due to MP features - same as in ArmA)

Guess this will work in the "sequel" one day..

If hosted by a player I think the host will not get displayed the created label. IMHO the best way is to run the the dedicated server on the same PC and the host connects as a regular client.

But yes, has to be tested ...

That's what I used to do until the latest patch when I can no longer have 2 interations of the game running simultaneously on the same PC. See http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=35085
