so basically when the player dies

game shows how they died from the person who killed them's pov

[languid dirge]

you have to build a match tracker

every tick record information about what happened

replay a chunk of that information to the player when they die

wouldnt that be hella resource intensive

[languid dirge]

not necessarily

there isn't any other way to do it regardless

[pastel sphinx]

i mean each match would be like 10 players, tracking data for each player every tick would be crazy

[languid dirge]

you think so? the server tracks thousands of chunks, entities, players, etc every tick. we are talking adding 10 locations + rarely some interactions on top of it.

you have to track the play to do the replay, after all

hence the "re"

ahhh
