: Hello, In looking at a finished MP level in JED, I noticed two things that are
: pulzzing what is the reason for having a couple or any number of "Stormtroopers"
: "Officers" and other SP type characters in a MP game?
: The other is what is a "Ghost" and it's purpose ? Thank you in advance

Using AIed character in MP is just for show since it is pretty much useless. They are easily killed so they dont pose much of a problem to you and the are not synced over the net so they only interact with you. Just for show.

A Ghost thing is an invisible thing mainly used by COGs like Cameras, Detonator Traps. Because in these COGs you need a thing to act as either the cameras or the TD launcher. While there is a Camera Object available, most ppl prefer to use ghost things. But for TD launcher, no 3do really looks like a td launcher, so you just use a ghost thing. And besides, these are supposed to be secret traps, so it's no fun if you see where the balls fall from.
