My TD enemies randomly get stuck, because the server is not sending the correct values to the client, and the client stops moving them. Any way I could fix this?
I have narrowed it down to the function in the replicator.update(), and the enemy positioning is retuning nil. Still have no idea how to fix it
Here is the code:
Replicator:
