Reading through the resources provided, it is clear that the new experimental physics package is designed to be usable over the network due to it being stateless and deterministic.
I’m looking into building a network system that integrates well with this new package. However, to do so, I need a few clear controls:
-
I need to be able to manually call the physics tick, like with PhysX, where I can disable autosimulation and tick it myself. This is because, with a rollback system, I may need to tick 10 times to resimulate past frames.
-
I need to be able to ensure that global ticking happens at a fixed intervals. Fixed updating is key, and I don’t see any settings to define tick rate.
-
Are there interpolation settings for the rendering? If I use a low tick frequency, the rendering will look very blocky without interpolation.
Thanks!
I asked this question on Twitter, and got directed to the Unity Discord, which wasn’t very helpful.
