Summary0003157: Having a problem with a clientsided ACS script with a clientsided actor online
DescriptionI've been having this problem with custom particle actors not staying spawned if the relevant limit check script is clientsided.

The actor compares the amount of spawned particles using a global variable with r_maxparticles and determines if it should stay spawned or destroy itself. If the script is clientsided and the game is online, it always fails. The other checks such as small, round or smooth particles work as intended.
Steps To ReproduceSee attached file.
Additional InformationI'd like to know if it's actually a bug rather than the possibility of my coding being at fault.

 A clientsided actor+script combination should always behave the same offline/online, since technically there's no difference for them. I can't check your PK3, but you should check if there's anything serversided involved, like accidental serversided parts or functions that are serverside, but you put clientside.

 The actors have +CLIENTSIDEONLY, check use A_JumpIf with ACS_NamedExecuteWithResult and all scripts are CLIENTSIDE. Other similar scripts in here work fine though.

If I remove CLIENTSIDE from one specific script, it'll work fine. It's commented in the ACS source in the pk3.

 Your ACS has 7 clientsided named scripts, but the disassembly shows this:

script=-1 flags=clientside
script=-2 flags=clientside
script=-3 flags=clientside
script=-6 flags=clientside
script=-7 flags=clientside

scripts -4 (RegisterParticle) and -5 (UnRegisterParticle) are not clientside. And calling a serverside script clientside will return 0 without executing the script.

Recompiling the script with ACC yields this:

script=-1 flags=clientside
script=-2 flags=clientside
script=-3 flags=clientside
script=-4 flags=clientside
script=-5 flags=clientside
script=-6 flags=clientside
script=-7 flags=clientside

 I swear I recompiled it just before I uploaded.

So, is there no way to make global variables clientsided? I want the particles to spawn based on the client's r_particles count rather than the server's.

 Global variables ARE clientsided. Your compiler is broken. What compiler do you use?

The server and the client have separate copies of global variables.

 I use acc v1.55

Either way, if said scripts are clientsided, it simply does not work.
When they are not clientsided, they do work.

I just screwed up with the attached pk3, that's all.
I reattached it with the compiled script matching the source as particle2.pk3

 How do I spawn the particles using this example wad?

Using "summon" is not an option, as "summon" spawns the actor serverside regardless of its flags.

 This one is summon. In the mod it's used in: A_SpawnItemEx("ParticleActor",0,0,0,0,0,0,0,SXF_NOCHECKPOSITION)

If I have the flag SFX_CLIENTSIDE, it'll just not spawn at all, even with all the destroying checks commented out.

 It works if the particle is spawned clientside. See example wad (summon ParticleSpawner).

Also, SXF_CLIENTSIDE is useless with +CLIENTSIDEONLY actors. It's only useful to force-spawn clientside an actor that is normally serverside.

 This can be closed. It was a user error much deeper in my code.
