inconsistent ragdoll prediction

[rare marten]

can u send this?

[halcyon marsh]

i cant send full code for some reason

ill send screenshots hold up

@rare marten

[rare marten]

evil ragdoll

[steel warren]

so the transparent one is the client or server?

[halcyon marsh]

server

i think the issue is collision because when the character is hit in a straight line it works fine

[steel warren]

so what are you trying to do?

[steel warren]

why don't you remove the server and just use the client

[halcyon marsh]

cuz the server is authoritive

[steel warren]

are you using fireallclients?

[halcyon marsh]

yes

[steel warren]

so you want the client and the server to match?

[halcyon marsh]

yeah

[steel warren]

that is not possible

show me where you call the module

[halcyon marsh]

im pretty sure it is through strategic methods

[steel warren]

Let me explain

client-side ragdolls run physics locally for a smooth, individual experience, but are not synced for other players, leading to visual discrepancies. Server-side ragdolls are synced for all players, but can suffer from lag and choppiness due to the need to replicate physics data across the network. The difference arises from how the physics simulation is handled

the server is less smoother than the local client

so i don't think you can synced them

[halcyon marsh]

there are methods to doing so

[steel warren]

ok then why don't you try those methods?

let me know if it works

[halcyon marsh]

i dont knopw what they are thats why i asked for help

[charred yoke]

** You are now Level 13! **

[halcyon marsh]

but i know its possible

[steel warren]

😭 I thought it was impossible mb bro

[rare marten]

shouldnt matter

same calculations

then scaled based on time since last heartbeat

presumably

[slate estuary]

Use a custom deterministic physics system that runs both on the client and server.

[steel warren]

how

[slate estuary]

I recommend you learn about deterministic bullet physics.

[steel warren]

how does that fix it tho

[steel warren]

wait nvm i get u

[halcyon marsh]

I just skipped ahead around 5 studs on both client and server to eliminate and collisions with the attacking player

[rare marten]

you were setting the collision group so

I thought that wouldnt be a problem
