If i want to intersect the walls and floor with the player how do i do it? Most of this i believe i have worked out. I don't use a physics volume at the moment, i cast 5 rays, forward, backward, left, right an... |

Player:
Float:Health
Float:Ammo

Can hardware of today handle processes like realistic characters, background
|
Given that the games you are comparing too are still basically cutting edge, you wont be able to achieve an awful lot better that, otherwise they would have already done it. |

What he is saying is that unless each client is animating the facing direction of each player you're probably only interested in transmitting the data about where a shot has gone. This is needed to determine when someone gets hit.

I think if a thread gets this long about whether to make a logger global or not then it's being severely over thought and the easiest way to solve the problem should be adopted.
Make it a global pointer to your logger class and be done with it. |
