alright so i have changed the shield recharge to have the effect of the coop teleport. now i can only see this happening to myself in both first person and flycam when i am host. however when i am not host like when i have the mod on my dedicated server, you arnt able to see it happen to you, but you can see the effect happen to other people when they recharge. now this does not make sense to me. it should not matter who host is, if you have the effect on your copy of the map, you should be able to see it, not have only other people able to see it. can anyone help me comprehend?

Because when you join someone elses server, some things are controlled by their map. Thats just how the world works.

it turns out that if you are not host self inflicted damage will not cause the recharge effect, but any other damage will... odd but i can live with it
