Delayed projectiles

[hallow tangle]

How do I fix this?

The cannonball is delayed / not going where the cannon is actually facing

for context I'm using linear velocity btw

this happens both in studio testing and in roblox live servers

possible solutions

1. SetNetworkOwner to the player
2. Object pooling
3. Client sided projectiles

Hm

[hallow tangle]

Wouldn't number 3 be exploitable though?

[rain sparrow]

if you don't do it right

Please elaborate.

predetermining projectiles on the server and handle the projectile on the client

if you're interesting in predetermined systems, check out this vid

i have not tried object pooling but this video explains it well

Clientside prediction?

I tried clientside prediction but the thing is, I want other players to see the projectile as well.

Also not sure if object pooling would help that much since I don't think this is an FPS problem.

[rain sparrow]

then you didnt do it right?

[rain sparrow]

you're right

[hallow tangle]

What would "right" be then?

[rain sparrow]

The server needs to tell all the players there's a projectile

that's the simple way to explain it

[hallow tangle]

I did that and 2 projectiles appeared on the client.

[rain sparrow]

why is that

[hallow tangle]

I create one projectile on the client and one projectile on the server

[celest warren]

use clientsided projectiles

[celest warren]

you need to use as little input from the client

this might help

Update: I tested with just creating projectiles from the client and this still happens.

how exactly are you doing the projectiles right now? are you sending a signal from the client to the server and then getting the server look direction? ping is a thing so that's an almost unavoidable problem (unless you take it from the client but you'd probs have to do some anticheat stuff)

[hallow tangle]

I send remote to the server from client and then server fires it from the cannon's look direction

Do you still have this problem?

I mean the 2 projectiles appearing
