Opsive TPC

[Blunnyn]

I would like to know what the integration of opsive TPC was, since since 2018 nothing has been done.

I was planned to use just its character movement system but as it has many other features that I also think I should implement them too. So it makes me confusingly which way I should go, implement a character movement system to the MMORPG KIT or create a new package which adds networking to Opsive's package with MMO things added.

I am thinking that the second way will easier to do because if I going to implement all Opsive's package to MMORPG KIT, I might have to changes many things that will affect other customer projects.

You can tell me what do you think about this.

Just a quick note, Opsives current character controllers were built with modularity in mind and to be able to swap out the network layer with different systems. For example, with The Third Person Controller, you can simply use the PUN Networking addon.

I would guess that it may be easiest to simply mimic the PUN addon, but with components from the kit instead?

@insthync We are Appreciate your hard work :) Keep on and we are with you !

I would like to use TPC with MMORPGKIT fully. The movement and especially the combat. I like that I can assign IDs to holster and unholster my weapons with ease.

Furthermore the IK state system is incredibly powerful and well worth the time to learn to create smooth transitions for attacks and movement.

Seeing the integration on the todo list was the deciding factor for me buying the MMORPGKit, so I'm very much excited for it!

With the PUN addon, its super smooth and easy everything syncs nicely over the network. Unfortunately the only draw back is that the PUN addon is client authoritative.

I would be willing to pay extra for TPC integration to get it quicker 🤣

In my opinion, I think client authoritative is not bad and shooter games which have a lot of players should do it to reduce work at server, but it should have speed hack detection at the server, which will set client's position to be the same with server when client's position is too far from server.

Very true. Just a little more susceptible to hacking. But as you say, as long as there's a server that has some countermeasures then it mitigates some of the risk.

Would you be looking to add this any time soon?

This would also go well with Behavior Designer (on the to-do list).

create a new package which adds networking to Opsive's package with MMO things added

In short, I suggest this.

[BJPickles]

Is there any update on said new package?

[insthync]

Did not started yet.
