Make it so that with classes which have burst fire weapons that they shoot when the server sends the message when they shoot, instead of just syncing the keypresses
this technically saves more bandwidth/ reduces the lag we have with rockets
the problem is that assuming the client doesn't have a perfect framerate, though the server shows that they're shooting rockets, the client still thinks they're out of ammo, so it's fired slightly late at a slightly different angle at the next frame, which is why we get invisible rockets.
This will alleviate it, as well as some potential decync with the engie and scoot (less noticeable)

So you want the game to shoot whether it fires or not instead of tracking keypresses right? That seems easy to implement and would be very important to the community, do you have any coding to show us how this can be done? Oh and question, if you're rocketman, wouldn't this cause you to look like you're shooting double rockets if the server is laggy? |

Nagn is asking for the keybyte to be timestamped.

Yeah, I realize that, and that the request was utter pointless shit.

no I was asking for a specifc byte so that when someone fires, it bypasses all ammo so that it fires no matter what
If a client happens to be behind in keeping track of the ammo counter, then what happens is that rockets appear delayed as the client thinks there's not enough ammo

Or we could just not care since projectiles will be synced at some point what who in their right mind would do that |

it is already synced
just that syncing it every frame is one more byte to waste up bandwidth

Not yet it's not. And I actually didn't require any additional bytes to sync :v |
