This is my first time using linear velocity as a method for projectiles and just in general and I’ve ran into a problem. Currently I’m trying to use linear velocity to throw a snowball to my mouse cursor. However, the snowball lags sometimes when I’m throwing it and I have no idea why. It’s a cloned snowball part that I’m throwing forward, so I don’t know if it has anything to do with it.
I’ve also realized that it only happens for a while when I join the game. I think the problem goes away after a while, but it seems like when I throw the snowball when I’m new to the server it lags a bit.
Snowball Part Lag
No SnowBall Lag
