How are trajectories calculated and transmitted to other players in Multi-Player ?
- by giulio
I play alot of COD4. And can see tracers for gunfire, missles, care packages fall from helicopters etc.
There is alot of activity. I am curious to know the algorithm (at a high level) that manages all this action when you have 20 people on a map shooting each other to death ?
This question touches on the subject but doesn't ask for a more in-depth answer as to how you the developers go about calculating and transmitting movement and collision detection for projectiles, be it missles/bullets or any other object that is flying through the air in real-time.
