Selective Replication

As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to have the server perform large simulations without unneeded heavy replication traffic. If using a custom network where Clients have their own copy of a model or where clients are manipulating it locally for uninterupted animation, like platform trains and ships, the Client will still recieve the replication data from the ServerCopy if the developer needs such for verifying network requests and physics behavior. Even if the client deletes the se…
