Element for all dimensions

[Dreft]

How to create element(marker,object etc.) which will be shown in all possible dimensions ?

Well, thats not smart cause it exists 65535 dimensions, but heres your example.

local object = createObject(blablablabla [...])
for dimensionKey, 65535 do
setElementDimension (object, dimensionKey )
end

setElementDimension (object, dimensionKey )
end

This doesn't work. This loops set dimension to:

object = 1 then object = 2, not 1.

After that object = 3, not 2

And at the end object = 65534, so if I won't be in 65534 dimension, i won't see it.

Ah now i know what you exactly mean

btw. dimensionKey was the startvalue, it should be starting with 1 or 0.

I cant find a function for this right now, but it should be possible if you create the Element/Object in every Dimension

Startdimensions = 0
 
for dimensionKey = Startdimensions, 65535 do
object = createObject(blablablabla [...])
setElementDimension (object, dimensionKey )
end

And this Loop does not stop at 65535.

For what do you need a Element for all dimensions ?

Sounds stupid for meh

your server is that big that you use 65k dimensions?

hope you have like .. 650k players online, (10 per dimension)

I wana see his CPU while creating Maps for all 65k dimensions

My Console needs ~30 Seconds for printing all Dimensions on a Quad Core Q8300 / 4 GB

[Dreft]

No I'm not making it for 65k dimensions.. I just asked "for all possible" because I thought that there is some way without adding element > setting dimension > adding another element > setting dimension and so on.

Thx for help.

Server:

object = createObject(...)
setElementID(object,"alldim")

Client:

object = getElementByID("alldim")
addEventHandler("onClientRender",getRootElement(),
function()
setElementDimension(object,getElementDimension(getLocalPlayer()))
end
)

If you want to make this work with multiple objects, you can create an abstract element and make it a parent of objects.

Doomed_Space_Marine 's idea is very good one

you will need adjust it with

from 1.0.4 upwards for sync issues fixing

Is that needed? Do object elements have syncers at all? As far as I know, setting dimension of server-side object in a client-side script only changes the dimension locally.

im not sure, but i kinda remember dynamic objs synced.or im wrong?

No, they aren't.
