ACS Clientside Sector_SetColor - doesn't do anything.

[RaveYard]

I am trying to turn everything red and white when player dies.
But obviously, I need to change it just for one client (the one that died).
However Sector_SetColor doesn't do anything when I tried this on a server.
Also the "light_raisebyvalue" works without problem!

Here is top of the script

Code: Select all

script 752 enter clientside
{
	if(isTitlemap()) { terminate; }
	if(consoleplayerNumber() != playernumber()) { terminate; }
.. stuff ..

Here is the important part...

Code: Select all

... stuff ...
     if(GameType() == GAME_SINGLE_PLAYER || getCvar("survival") > 0) {
		for(int di = 0;di < 500;di++) {
			Light_RaiseByValue(di,170);
			Sector_SetColor(di,255,90,90,210);
		}
	}
} //end of script

I know desyncing the client and server is considered a sin worthy of eternal damnation, but the resulting effect from the sector_setcolor would be totally worth it
plz help!

Too bad the tracker hasn't moved since.

Oh no....
Is there any alternative?

The only one I managed to figure out was to use the forbidden art of consolecommand with command "testcolor FF8888 45"
But the consolecommand is going to be totaly removed soon!

I wouldn't rely on testcolor at all. It is blocked if sv_cheats is off.

Someone should try to help Torr out in the tracker ticket if they want it fixed.
