First of all, I can’t find where “PlayerPrefab(Clone).CrateCamera” adopts “Weapon” as a child. :( Also, where do the new overriding values come from (such as “damage=20.0; bulletsPerClip=30; clips=5”)?

Thanks Appels for the advice about using 'private' in scripts to hide from the inspector.
Also, I'm hoping if somebody could help me find -- in the original FPS -- 'where “PlayerPrefab(Clone).CrateCamera” adopts “Weapon” as a child.' Once someone can point me in that direction, I hope to understand how the original project overrides -- at runtime -- Machinegun.js vars such as: 'damage', 'bulletsPerClip', and 'clips'. Personally, I've looked and looked...even traced with MonoDevelop debugger, yet to no avail. :( Thanks again for any assistance out there. Still Searching... :) jay1025
Scoreboard not behaving correctly with more than 2 players?
Could someone else test and confirm this behaviour?
I've been seeing some odd behaviour with the scoreboard in my game, so I went back and built Example4 (the shooter with the crates) straight from a fresh install. I then set up a lan game with three computers : one computer as the server (player 1), and the other two as clients (Player 2 and Player 3).
Upon running the game, I find that the scoreboard only updates for interactions between an individual player and the server. Actions between clients that don't involve the server never get updated.
Examples:
server (player 1) kills player 2.
The server's scoreboard shows this:
server: 1 kill 0 deaths
player 2: 0 kills 1 death
player 3: 0 kills 0 deaths
So far, so good. Player 2's scoreboard reads this:
server: 1 kill 0 deaths
player 2: 0 kills 1 death
player 3: 0 kills 0 deaths
Still good. However, player 3's scoreboard reads this:
server: 1 kill 0 deaths
player 2: 0 kills 0 deaths
player 3: 0 kills 0 deaths
Player 2 will receive the server's update that the server scored a kill because it's coming from the server and it will record it's own death. Player 3 WILL NOT receive the record that player 2 has died because player 2 is not the server.
All computers now quit and relaunch the game with the same configuration. This time Player 2 kills Player 3. The scoreboards now look like this:
Server Scoreboard:
server: 0 kill 0 deaths
player 2: 1 kill 0 deaths
player 3: 0 kills 1 death
again, so far, so good.
Player 2's scoreboard:
server: 0 kills 0 deaths
player 2: 1 kill 0 deaths
player 3: 0 kills 0 deaths
Player 2 records it's own kill because it's the one sending the message. However, Player 2 DOES NOT record Player 3's death because it doesn't receive any messages directly from Player 3 and the server doesn't appear to pass it on.
Player 3's scoreboard:
server: 0 kills 0 deaths
player 2: 0 kills 0 deaths
player 3: 0 kills 1 death
Same situation as before: Player 3 will record it's own death because it is the one sending the message, but it never receives the message from Player 2 that Player 2 scored a kill.
I hope you could follow along with that because it can easily get confusing. At first I thought maybe it was something I did when I adapted this to my game, but since I'm testing this from a direct fresh install of the download, I'm guessing it's an actual bug in the scripting. Would it be possible for someone to do an independent test to confirm this?
