Well if anyone wants to give this a ‘whirl’ below is a revised attempt to modify mraes’ script, as I described above. This hopefully fixes the multiplayer sync issues. I also tried adding a new setting to increase/decrease the manual spotlight radius (using capslock/leftshift keys) and to sync this and rjross2013’s brightness setting across clients.
I have tested it on FX and CFX servers with one other person (no serious stress testing on a big server). The only anomaly I noticed is that periodically the tracking spotlight will disappear at far distances on the remote non-pilot client, a bit before it disappears for the heli pilot at the appropriate spotlight maximum target distance as set in the configuration. I believe this is because the target vehicle is lost on the network for the remote client, for some reason, even though the target is set as a mission entity. The syncing of the manual free-aiming spotlight works but is somewhat laggy during adjustments for non-pilot clients – AFAIK this is unavoidable but to me it is still worthwhile.
Under the hood there are other similar peculiarities because even with an newer resource manifest with reported networking updates, I am not always getting global networked entities with 100% reliable netid <-> entity conversions. But with some fail-safes to compensate, the target vehicles and corresponding spotlights do seem to be getting synced reliably (in my testing anyway).
