I’ve noticed that a moving part’s position on the server is updated with a huge delay. For example, a part with a bodyvelocity placed inside won’t have its position updated correctly. Say the part is moving, then you try to place a part at its position, it’ll always be behind it. Same thing applies to player characters. If a player is moving, trying to place anything at their position will always place it behind them. I’ve noticed this most when trying to make hitboxes using magnitude checks. When a character is stationary, the “hitbox” is perfectly fine, but if they begin to move even a little bit, the hitbox gets set behind them, throwing off its accuracy. Is there a way around this? Maybe some method of accounting for this offset?

what you’re experiencing is “latency” every online game has that, local scripts would be your way to go, but personally, i would never trust the client with hitboxes
Yes that’s what I mean. I seriously don’t want to have to rely on people’s clients for hitboxes, but I can’t think of a way to accurately account for the latency. I don’t want to just accept that hitboxes are bound to be inaccurate.
This is a good read.
