Smooth Movement of Other Players

​

How it works

• The walk lasts factor times the measured time between two updates of that character (about 50 ms with the default sync rate, so about 75 ms), kept between minDuration and maxDuration. It follows the real rhythm of your server: the longest recent gap is held and decays slowly, so updates that arrive in bursts (two within a few milliseconds, then a pause) do not leave the character standing between two bursts.
• It interpolates: the character is about one update behind the server, and never goes past the last position received. A character that stops or turns does not overshoot or rubber-band.
• It jumps for the first position received, after a silence longer than maxGap, and for a move longer than teleportDistance (a teleport or a map change).
• The current player is not affected, and a server knockback keeps its own smoothing.

Configuration

import { provideClientGlobalConfig } from "@rpgjs/client";

provideClientGlobalConfig({
  remoteSmoothing: {
    enabled: true,         // false: jump to each position, as before
    factor: 1.5,           // walk duration = factor x measured update interval
    minDuration: 16,       // shortest walk, in ms
    maxDuration: 150,      // longest walk, in ms
    maxGap: 250,           // a longer silence (ms) is a jump
    teleportDistance: 128, // a longer move (px) is a jump
  },
});
