Gun aiming and weapon cycling should be done client-side
Reported by Aanand Prasad | September 5th, 2008 @ 01:44 PM
Network crapness can cause lag in gun aiming and weapon cycling, which is irritating. If there aren't any hidden dangers, and I can't think of any, each player's client should probably be the authority on the following variables, with the server keeping stale copies and broadcasting them to the other players:
- gunAngle
- gunAngleChange
- gunPower
- gunPowerChange
- selectedWeapon

Gun aiming is now client side, weapon cycling isn't yet.

Okay, leaving this for now, the aiming was the main thing that needed good latency, and the client doesn't currently get enough ammo information to do weapon cycling effectively.
