non delayed raycast guns

[proud iron]

im trying to code in a pistol pretty much how knife ability tests guns work but im having alot of issues, first off if the player is in a laggy server the gun becomes delayed and second the gun kinda lways is delayed because its on the server but if its locally then the other player being shot wont see it, im very confused rn

i just want a gun that no matter what shoots accurately

[torpid fossil]

why not do the raycast and shooting fx client sided then send the result to the server which can handle everything else such as server-sided shooting fx

alright so ive been trying to create a bullet hole effect by spawing a part whereer the rayacast ends but its so inconcistant and i have no idea why i even asked an ai but i didnt realise how bad ai is at scripting idk how ppl make games with it
i just dont know whats a valid surface or not even tho its all the same?

What do you mean by it being inconsistent

[proud iron]

the part just dosnt spawn soemtimes

[torpid fossil]

do the raycasts also still spawn inconsistently

wdym

[proud iron]

the way it works is i spawn one on the client and one of teh server but when it shoots the player it tells the server to kill the player

[torpid fossil]

actually, it might be better if you just raycast on client and then pass the results to the server instead of raycasting on both

for the bullet holes, you can replicate them on the server by passing the hit position to the server

tahts also probably just alot easier thank u

its not that simple. any anticheat you use, there will be cheaters who find a way around it. it's a constant arms race. just have to make it hard enough that people dont bother

for your game tho just go with what you have and you can add in some anticheat later.
