Yeah, that is true. It should be able to detect the very source that causes most movements. There might be issues on scripts that influence an avatars movements via control events though, while that could be avoided by checking if control events have been taken, it might misidentify scripts that take controls but don't act on physics, such as AOs.
I think the simulator could have a much better prediction system itself as well, it shouldn't all fall on the client. For example if an avatar presses forward, the simulator should "jump" the avatar forwards as if the avatar had pressed forwards back in time by their average ping time. This would make it appear as if the sim is more responsive. The client could also then simulate the forwards movement instantenously. Modern FPS games have even smarter methods for synchronizing and predicting physics accurately, such as tracking the recent positions of all players and then 'correcting' recent collisions based on the players' connections in realtime. - Nexii On Wed, Oct 13, 2010 at 12:29 AM, Dahlia Trimble <dahliatrim...@gmail.com>wrote: > Could checking to see if a user is still pressing a movement key fit into > the algorithm?
