Storing data in game

[Zantsuken]

If the scripts are actually stored "in" the construct and simply executed in the local client, then as far as we are concerned I don't think we should really care. So long as anybody with rights to the construct can access and execute the scripts.

Consider that AI turret defending your base.

 

Which client does the script run on?

What does it do when you log off?

Does the script actually run on the attackers PC?

What happens when you have two attackers?

And what if the attackers hacks and changes the output of your script to make you loose?

 

These are flaws. That is why scripts should be either run on server or distinct from in game objects so you can setup your own server to manage that (raspberry pi or something like that).
