With raycast?

[tame laurel]

I wish it was that simple

[balmy sonnet]

What is your way of detecting the ground I meant

Like just purely math?

[tame laurel]

I have both a sphere collider and a raycast

gravity, restitution, all applied manually

but collisions are done with physics engine because I dont wanna find planes on a polygons 😭

but theres no roblox wheels or vehicle seats or anything like that

bro wheres ur s4

What I really like about my custom replication system is the fact that if the player loses connection or wifi cuts out for a couple frames, its practically unnoticable because of the way I implemented it

see here:
Roblox Replication (Network Ownership): (If their wifi cuts out the kart will just stop instantly)

[unkempt mango]

yoo this is really cool

well made 🔥

[timid comet]

i see yours is alot smoother aswell

what do you send over in the buffer

[tame laurel]

@timid comet

[timid comet]

whats bytenet

[tame laurel]

I compress the ticks and owner id into a single byte

[timid comet]

your using unreliable?

wont that fail sometimes

or does it just not matter as theres more gain than loss

[tame laurel]

yeah but its replication

the tick is to confirm I only work with the newest information

[tame laurel]

Added characters and animations

[gray tundra]

you are too good wth

[untold topaz]

@mossy otter take notes geezer

[mossy otter]

huh

oh nice it’s similar to the mischief system

but like

actually good

[tame laurel]

whats the mischief system

[woeful hornet]

This looks incredible dude

[heady goblet]

a master at work

[coral badge]

bytenet is a really great buffer that sends smaller sized packets and provides a very good network structure for your game 🤩

[balmy sonnet]

just checked it out and its amazing

[tame laurel]

@coral badge it does have quite a bit of errors and issues sometimes though

[balmy sonnet]

I got stuck on some error but it was because I didn’t add “value” tbh the errors are hella hard to debug

ByteNet gave me a new look on networking lol

[tame laurel]

Yeah, I had a signed integer switching negativity on me for owner ids. So I just switched to unsigned 8 bit integers to save data

since I’ll never have more than 256 players in a game

[balmy sonnet]

Makes sense

[tame laurel]

I really appreciate this, i’ve been working on it for about 2 weeks now

i’m being paid to do it though so its not that bad

—————————————
Do you guys have any recommendations? I wanna make the system feel better.

[swift grail]

seems just about right, u could try messing around a bit more with the camera, especially when u make turns / drift

[tame laurel]

How so

[swift grail]

For example, when u strave to the left, ur camera should go to the right, and if u fall downwards then make the camera go above you, Ill record an example of this

[tame laurel]

So like.. interpolation?

[swift grail]

yeah lerping

[tame laurel]

yeah I do

I do some interesting things with rotation, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to see the sides of the kart lol

my biggest thing is that I dont want the camera to fall too far behind when driving fast

so the lerp is pretty high for position

I might turn it down just a bit though

[swift grail]

I didnt code this (just saying)

[swift grail]

u could make it really subtle

[tame laurel]

Looks cool but yeah

i think im gonna try to replicate the mario kart camera

[swift grail]
