Network Transform local space only.

[faint grail]

Hello, i have noticed that the NetworkTransform doesnt include a World space mode. Is this by design?

For "proxy/dummy" VR rigs i have the normal player prefab with all of the code stuff turned off besides the hand grabbers.
The IK transforms for head, pelvis head and root are children of the respective Local VR Objects (Like physics hand, camera, and VR root).

Ideally i dont want to have to make a Serializer/RigDataStream(For lack of a better term) for sending and receiving world space positions of these objects since I heard that the NetworkTransform is very optimized.
Likely 10X more optimized that a custom Serializer/Input Struct that i would have to create

What can I do to workaround this?

Would appreciate any suggestions!

Local space is intentional and there's no plans to include world space. If you sync parents on the NT local space should be fine.

Thanks for reply. My issue is the physics hands aren’t being synced and I don’t want to sync them. Only the child IK targets. If I do have to create a dummy player with just the rig and IK, how would you recommend I send the Transform over the network through code? Is there a performant way that is close to just using a NetworkTransform?

Are the hands unparented? I guess I'm a little confused on the matter.

I assume they're a child otherwise you wouldn't care about world space.

Why can you not use child NT if that's true?

The Physics hands never actually move on remote rigs. The RightIKTarget is the one with the Networktransform.Since i was syncing World Space before with photon it wasnt an issue that the Physics hands weren't synced to proxies.

Im probably going to just make each VR player on other clients the IK rig only. Maybe locally ill have another transform that "follows" the HandIKTarget in world space.

Also i dont think i need that NetworkObject on the IK Target right? I was just throwing it on there to see if it was the issue

if theres a NT on it there needs to at least be a NOB in the parent

ah ok. And last thing. I know this might not really be relevant to the topic here but for finger curls in photon i was using OnPhotonSerializeView. Is there something like that in Fish? I couldn't find it. Is that what SyncVars are for?

[lament shoal]

that just serializers per tick
