Statemachine help.

[viral dirge]

would it not be related to invoking the server? how big is the delay?

@slow drum

nvm, didnt realise you sent a clip

okay yeah, it seems very likely it's about invoking the server / waiting for the server to send back to the client

why not handle animations locally?

[slow drum]

the animations are played on the client

[jade kite]

** You are now Level 4! **

[slow drum]

but the server is firing to the client to play the animations

and yeah thats the problem

[viral dirge]

yeah that's what i mean, better to just handle the state on the client entirely and have the server validate / correct if it's wrong, right?

[slow drum]

im just gonna have another state machine on the client to handle the animations

[slow drum]

well its for a combat system

and having the states on the client doesn't really make sense

[slow drum]

hence

[viral dirge]

true, to an extent tho

[slow drum]

so ill just have one for the server and one for the client

and ill have the client statemachine update based on the server one ig

[viral dirge]

would that not have the same issue?

[slow drum]

yeah ur right

uh

ima js do 2 that work independently from eachother

but are on teh same page

and have information only be read from the server

and client js explicitly be used for animations

[viral dirge]

honestly, might as well let the client decide walkspeed too (immediately that is)

rather than having the server validate it whenever they press shift or whatever your sprint button is

it's better feedback and you can always detect if it seems off on the server

consider that the client already has full network ownership of their character, they could fly about if they want to (exploiting ofc)

[slow drum]

yeah

its js gonna be annoying breaking up the module into 2

for the server and client

well

prolly not

[viral dirge]

for real
