Thread: Making an area like FightCaves where you cant see players?

you make it so when u enter the area every player go to diffrent height

If im correct.
Using the secondary map region packet, or using height levels.
Or maybe messing around with the player updateing.

But wouldn't increasing height levels make you above fightcaves? or do others see that if so how would i? like is it client sided or server sided?

I've always wounderd that never really understood regions.

There's a packet for that. I'm not good with packets at all. But I know there's one for it.

as do I but dunno how to use them

It is called instancing... figure it out alot of games use it. If a player enters another area dont call the update block which loads up all the players on the screen for that plalyer. (block the player from the update block).

BTW Graham released a winterlove server with instancing which was incredibly useful for certain things go take a look at that. I never actually really tested it to see if that worked though.

You could also make a declaration. There's an emote that makes you invisible, just make it so that the player is set to that emote after entering the area. Or change the height levels.

The only reason height levels don't show players is because of the SERVER.
The way player updating is set up, it doesn't show players at different heights.
The client only has height levels 0-3.
If the server has the height set to 4, the client's height will be 0. (5-1, 6-2, 7-3, 8-0 etc)
- Although the server wouldn't update other players in there because they are different height levels.

There is no difference between setting the height level to a multiple of 4 and having some variable to make it not update players in fight caves.

The easiest thing is to just do (upon entrance of fight caves)
heightLevel = (4 * numPlayersInFightCaves++);

And when exiting -
heightLevel = 0;
numPlayersInFightCaves--;
