I've done more work since my last post and I have the basics working-- my custom sendproxy function sends inventory changes to the right client. The main question I was trying to ask was what happens if I change which client that data should get sent to.
If the sendtables only send changes that happen to a networked array and not the entire array every update, then if I change the recipient client, will that new client get the entire array or just the updates that the first client would have gotten? If only updates are sent, is there a way I can force sending the entire array to the new client? At this point I'm not too far from just finding out by experiment, but if anybody knows what I might run into I'd appreciate the info.
