[realXtend] Synchronization in clients in Tundra
Hi all,
I have a character moving to-n-fro (along the Z-axis) in the scene. I have
written the following script for this. When I choose the run mode to
server, the script doesn't execute but when I switch to both (client and
sever), animation runs smoothly with the single client but when I connect
multiple clients, the animation is jerky. Am I missing anything simple?? or
Is there anything wrong with the script??
var entityNameToFind = UrbanMale.;
var animationNameToStart = Walk;
var availableAnims=0;
var delta = -0.005;
var s = 1;
function StartAnimation()
{
var objectToAnimate = scene.GetEntityByName(entityNameToFind);
if (objectToAnimate != null objectToAnimate.animationcontroller !=
null)
{
if(availableAnims=0)
frame.DelayedExecute(1.0).Triggered.connect(StartAnimation);
availableAnims =
objectToAnimate.animationcontroller.GetAvailableAnimations();
var animFound = false;
for(var i=0; iavailableAnims.length; i++)
{
if (availableAnims[i] == animationNameToStart)
{
animFound = true;
break;
}
}
if (animFound)
{
objectToAnimate.animationcontroller.EnableAnimation(animationNameToStart,
true);
objectToAnimate.animationcontroller.SetAnimSpeed(Walk,0.6);
}
var trans = me.placeable.transform;
trans.pos.z = -5;
trans.rot.x = 0;
trans.rot.y = 180;
trans.rot.z = 0;
me.placeable.transform = trans;
frame.DelayedExecute(0.5).Triggered.connect(updatePosition);
}
else
{
frame.DelayedExecute(1.0).Triggered.connect(StartAnimation);
}
}
if (!server.IsRunning() !framework.IsHeadless())
{
StartAnimation();
}
function updatePosition(dt) {
var tm = me.placeable.transform;
if(tm.pos.z = -24 tm.pos.z = 2)
{
tm.pos.z += (s*delta);
}
else
{
tm.rot.y += 180;
tm.pos.z += (s*2);
s *= -1;
tm.rot.y %= 360;
}
me.placeable.transform = tm;
frame.DelayedExecute(0.01).Triggered.connect(updatePosition);
}
I have used the RigidBody component for the character (as well as terrain),
but I see the character legs getting into the terrain in high areas. How
can I make character clamp on the terrain??

Vaibhav

With this setup all the clients run it individually on the client side, and
have their own opinion about the exact position, which they all communicate to
the server which then replicates the changes to all the clients .. so it gets
jerky.
Correct is to do the modification only in one place, and have that replicate
over the net. Either on the server or one of the clients.
With this code you disable it on the server - don't do that, if you want to run
it on a server :)
if (!server.IsRunning() !framework.IsHeadless())
{
StartAnimation();
}
