any way to make sfx/audio emitters use less net while still playing to everyone?

If your main concern is NET, don’t use Play audio at position, that uses an unnecessary amount of NET, use an audio gadget, or send an event to all to play the audio at pos locally

The audio in question needs to be 3d, it’s gunshots

For whatever reason gunshot sounds use fart loads of net but yeah

Coming back to this, can you please give some more details?

I have no idea what an audio gadget is, and the other solution seems to use even more net

[maiden swan]

Audio player, gadget, component, I forget the name

Look in the CV2 components page

I’m using that, and it maxes out net with this gun’s fire rate

If one gun does this, then multiple of any firing will not do well at all

[maiden swan]

Net is always the main issue, you need to find the balance with using NET, you can’t have a gun that fires more than 3 projectiles per second if your room supports 40 players

[maiden swan]

Also NET usage is local

so if my NET is at 40%, and you’re doing nothing, yours is at 0%

[raven python]

Room will support around 10 players, but the gun does fire roughly 14 rounds per second

I think for this one in particular I’ll loop a sound while it’s firing

If net is local then the others should be okay

[maiden swan]

Just lower the fire rate

Like 8 projectiles per second should be fine

Titanfall accuracy :(

[maiden swan]

Rec room isn’t good enough to mimic other games

[raven python]

It’s handling things so far

I switched to looping a longer firing sound with this gun and now it averages 20% net

This is the fastest one
