Server Spawning objects

[Wuild]

Im trying to make a standalone server that will spawn objects in the game.
Is this even possible? or does the clients have to do all the spawning?

Example: Server spawns weapons that the players can pick up.

Client marked as host should do the spawning. There is really no point in spawning anything if there are no players in the game anyway.

So i can set a client as host even if i'm running the server on a standalone?

If so can i set the first player to join as host? and how do i detect this?

The first person to join a channel is automatically set as the Host.  You test this by using:

1. if(TNManager.isHosting)
2. {
3.     //Do hosting Stuff
4. }

If that person leaves the channel, someone else in the channel with become the "Host" and then that IF statement will start working from their client.  I quoted "Host" because it's still really just a client.  It just has a kind of authority given based on the isHosting being set to true.

Your standalone server is more of a message relayer if that makes sense.
