Projectile replication delay compensation with FastCast

[MagikTheWizard (MagikManz)]

Like I said in many posts, there isn’t really any actual way to “combat” latency.
Maybe though, if you were to send the hitpart ( if it hit a client ) and then adjust to the hit part’s updated position on the client when showing the visual?

or you could both raycast on server and client, use the client raycast for visuals and use the server raycast for damage/hit detection.

Some of the posts where I talked about this :

Reducing Lag with Large Number of Projectiles

I have never used the FastCast module, though it does seem like that to me ( Haven’t read the whole post ). However since FastCast uses raycasting you’d be handling the “collisions” well hit detection in your case on the server. The server is always truthy and trusted, damage and hit detection is not something to trust the client with but sadly most games have failed to achieve that because of latency, they usually handle hit detection on the client and like I said validate the data on the serv…

How would I completely optimize projectiles without any latency

Sadly there is no actual way to combat latency to where each player screen will be 100% synced with the server. If you look at other games that are FPS or have to do with shooting like CS:GO, Fortnite, Overwatch and such they all suffer from that issue. This is where the fun part comes in, yes the client with the bad internet is blamed and has to suffer “lag” issues or “damage” issues. Damage is handled on the server so it is NOT asking either of the clients where the damaged player is so It i…

Hope this helps you!
