Gameplay abilities and Weapon Firing

[TheKaosSpectrum]

You don’t send each shot. You instead just send the “My weapon has begun firing” or “My weapon has stopped firing”. The client rotation and movement should already be replicated so you can construct the data on the server for where you should be doing your raycast or what not.

You can look at the Unreal Tournament or ShooterGame example for a more indepth look.

UT4 does send a rpc per shot (specifically Hit Actor client side). Idea is for server to rewind the supposed hit clients position to find out if the hit would have happened when the client said

I am familiar and in no way new to this. It’s just i want to integrate the firing into the ability system but support a predicted nature of the hit against player pawns.
