A Question about OnTick

akalegman · 2018-06-28T08:27:23.346Z

I have recently started making resources and found myself wondering how OnTick actually works. Consider this example…

I want to fire an event on all clients at the same time, lets say every 1000ms.

a) Trigger an event on each player from the server via OnTick

or

b) Simply subscribe to the OnTick on each client because the OnTick is being sent from the server

I guess the question I should be asking is “Is OnTick synchronized across all players including the server (obviously taking into account latency)?”

Thanks

akalegman:

No that’s not what happens.

akalegman:

Trigger an event on each player from the server via OnTick

You can do that or just run a tick on each client every 1000ms. The one on the clients won’t be synchronised between all players completely, but negligible difference.

So you can do either
a) Create a server tick and trigger a client event
b) create a tick client-side and do whatever you would usually do in the aforementioned client event
