Hey! I whant to make one more objects then I have players connected. So, if there is 1 players connected, the program should make 2 objects, and so on. But it seem to make much more objects then 2!

Host:

+ Code Snippet

#include <DarkGDK.h>
#include "multisync.h"

int counter = 0;
int counter2 = 0;

void DarkGDK ( void )
{
	dbSyncOn();

	if (NetHost(16))
	{
		while (LoopGDK())
		{
			dbCLS();

			if (NetPlayerJoined() != 0)
			{
				counter++;
				NetPutInt(counter);
				NetSend(counter);

				for(int a = 0; a < counter + 2; a++)
				{
					if(!dbObjectExist(a))
					{
						dbMakeObjectCube(a, 32);
						counter2 = a;
					}
				}
			}

			dbText(0, 0, dbStr(counter));
			dbText(0, 20, dbStr(counter2));

			dbSync();
		}
	}
}

Client:

+ Code Snippet

#include <DarkGDK.h>
#include "multisync.h"

void DarkGDK ( void )
{
	dbSyncOn();

	if (NetConnect("127.0.0.1"))
	{
		while(LoopGDK())
		{
			dbSync();
		}
	}
}

				for(int a = 0; a < counter + 2; a++)
				{
					if(!dbObjectExist(a))
					{
						dbMakeObjectCube(a, 32);
						counter2 = a;
					}
				}

Try to add a break in the for loop. For example

+ Code Snippet

				int objectsCreated = 0;
				for(int a = 0; a < counter + 2; a++)
				{
					if(!dbObjectExist(a))
					{
						dbMakeObjectCube(a, 32);
						counter2 = a;
						objectsCreated++;
					}
					if(objectsCreated >= 2) {break;}
				}

I'm not exactly sure if that would work but thats my best guess.

Without programmers, technology would not exist.

if(!dbObjectExist(a))
{
  dbMakeObjectCube(a, 32);
  counter2 = a;
}
if(counter2 > 2)
{
  break;
}

Nope, I get same 'error'...

You might have given up on this by now or forgotten about it but after a closer look at your code, I'm still stupmed. I don't know what causes it to create soo many boxes. I found a way to fix it though.

+ Code Snippet

#include <DarkGDK.h>
#include "multisync.h"

int counter = 0;
int counter2 = 0;

void DarkGDK ( void )
{
	dbSyncOn();

	if (NetHost(16))
	{
		while (LoopGDK())
		{
			dbCLS();

			if (NetPlayerJoined() != 0)
			{
				counter++;
				NetPutInt(counter);
				NetSend(counter);
				int objectsCreated = 0;
				for(int a = 0; a < counter + 2; a++)
				{
					if(!dbObjectExist(a))
					{
						dbMakeObjectCube(a, 32);
						counter2 = a;
					}
				}
			}

			dbText(0, 0, dbStr(counter));
			dbText(0, 20, dbStr(counter2));

			dbSync();
		}
	}
}

I don't understand how adding 'int objectsCreated=0;' got rid of the error but it worked for me.

A simpler way to get around this is just to create one type of object with object numbers between 10,000 and 10,999 and then another type of object with object numbers between 11,000 and 11,999. So here is a little example to illustrate what I mean:

+ Code Snippet

// Variables used to group type of objects
int Player_Object = 1000;
int Gun_Object = 2000;

// When a player joins
int iPlayerId = NetPlayerJoined();
if (iPlayerId > 0)
{
    dbMakeObjectCube(iPlayerId+Player_Object, 32);
    dbMakeObjectCube(iPlayerId+Gun_Object, 32);
}

I get it!
for( int a = 0...
Should be:
for( int a = 1...

Else, the computer tries to make object 0, but the range is 1 - 60000 something.

65355. That would be the max.
