Gravity Gun Dropping Items #557

Closed civilgamersbot closed 4 years ago

civilgamersbot commented 5 years ago

Reported by Artikiller (STEAM_0:0:45442640):

Phys gun drop the item after 1 sec

anthonysharpy commented 5 years ago

Have had this too when mining ore. Facing the tunnel towards the sea, on the right hand side in the corner are 3 rocks. Sometimes when you mine these rocks the ore they drop will not be useable; every time you pick it up with the gravity gun it gets put down again in its original position. It seems the server is cancelling the client's gravity gun's "pickup item" request. Maybe the server deems the item is unreachable (perhaps stuck inside the world or an invisible map brush).

Very hard to fix I imagine, if even possible. Might be an engine issue.

I think it is caused by a desync between the client and the server's location of what you are holding. Because of this desync, it may look like you haven't lost it, but then the server tells you that you lost it as it got hooked on something that you didn't realize. Really annoying, but manageable.

If server-side props are being desynced then not sure that would be fixable. Seems like a GMOD bug to me sadly.

HydroCG commented 4 years ago

Anthony is right, this is an engine thing and is simply because of server lag causing desync. Not much we can do.
