Client or server side animation?

A friend of mine said that if you run the animation of the player character on the client, it will be more optimized. Is it true? I mean player characters, not NPCs or other server entities.


Yes, running player character animations on the client is generally more optimized. This reduces server load and can result in smoother animations for players. However, make sure the animations are replicated properly for other players if needed.

All animations played client sided are replicated to the server.
