Hello. I'm using that code to try to give players an option about enabling fog or not(in game). However, when I use it, the choice made by P1 isn't sent to the rest of the players, causing the first option to be always taken by the other players.

Question is: How to make the option chosen by P1 be sent to all network players?

[option] does currently not work at all in prestart and start events in mutiplayer. The earliest point you can do that is in a turn 1 event.

Well I can't say for pre-start, but in Paintball Era I use some options in a start event, and so far it has always worked for me. Note that I only tested it in local multiplayer, maybe it would cause OOSes in real MP... I hadn't thought 'bout that.

Yes it causes OOS (1.8) In 1.9 the wml author gets a forceful error message now.

It will if people pick different game-state-changing options.
You need to use side_for=1 and let only the host choose. Or if you want each person to be able to pick differently (per-side settings for example), you will have to do it in side turn 1.

Also start and turn 1 are the same event AFAIK.

Take a look at the code. 4th line

Well, in paintball era, only the host (well, player one) gets to pick options at the start. The other players are at his mercy So I guess that it wouldn't cause OOSes, then. Good
