I was just trying to make some effects using sendpacket. Although it brought a few questions/problems.

Quote:1, How do you personally use sendpacket - moving items - to make a good effect without lags, bugs, simply pure and fluent?

Tried, for instance:
for 30
sendpacket bla bla bla
endfor

30 moving items is quite much I quess, I had to increase the speed to minimalize lags. (just example, the number should be higher)

2, Who do you send them to.
-sector? Not perfect... when 1 player is standing in sector 1, and 2. player in sector two, one of them dont see the effect.
-room? doesnt work (at least, not to me)
-region? (isnt it unnecessarily big?)
-serv...(...)
-forplayers/forchars? Well, I tried, but it seemed to be slower and less fluent

In conclusion and for those who dont want to read the craps above - How do you make more complicated effects without lags, or eventual client crashes (because of too many packets)

I see the only way and its - forplayers; sendpacket; endfor...
