I guess that'd explain why. However, what could be a solution to drawing information from that entity? Would it be a possible solution to make another entity on the server? Do the entities that share information have to be inherited from the same type of class (I mean C_BaseEntity and CBaseEntity) or does it have to be an entity meant to share information?
The arena code isn't mine, so I don't want to actually modify it I just want to pull information from it. 2011/2/15 Saul Rennison <saul.renni...@gmail.com> > Logical entities aren't networked afaik > > On Tuesday, 15 February 2011, Bryan Abrams <abrams....@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hey Guys, > > I've read over the wiki entry about Network entities and creating shared > variables, but I can't really seem to get it to work. > > The entity is already created on the server, an 'arena'.
