anyone an idea on how to create a chunk system?

[thin light]

Like voxel chunks or map chunks?

Either way you'd need some way to serialize each chunk (just moving it into ServerStorage if it's not persistent across servers is fine probably)

Voxels would be voxel data you'd load into an EditableMesh, regular map would just require to split it up into chunks in a way that you can manipulate everything within that chunk (model for every section?)

what would you take?

No, editablemesh has 5 EM instance limit per client, its also extremely slow.

With no bulk set or get methods

Good to know

just... chunk?

like

is the map fixed size

if yes initialize the chunks at the start

then load/unload relative to player pos

[tacit basalt]

no

the map will have a limit

[gaunt tartan]

but not fixed size

got it

and

[gaunt tartan]

then you just init the chunks on the go

have a render distance around the player

[tacit basalt]

it should be possible to save them

if the player leaves

u only save the changes

and using deterministic generation

u regen the rest using a seed

oh hell nah

thats how i do it

works wonders

thank you

can i add you?

[gaunt tartan]

urs is 2d so u wont have to worry about optimization

like at all

why
