Hey there,
got one question regarding your code:
Is it correct that your line targetPos = getRandomNumber() is a placeholder for simplicity sake? Like you are saving a lot of data inside targetPos(like position, heading, rotation etc) which can’t currently be seen inside the code. I’ll assume that the above is the case.
That being said I had my fair share of problems syncing animations across multiple clients. I was able to get an unreliable solution meaning it works most of the time.
What I’d try is create a server-event which would trigger a client-event for every client.
So it would look like this:
client-side, your code
-- omitting your definitions
local ObjNetID = ObjToNet(myObj) -- get the network ID of your Object
while targetPos.rX <= 0.0 do -- got a question on this, see note at bottom of post
Wait(0)
targetPos.rX = targetPos.rX + 1
TriggerServerEvent('syncsv:RotateEntity', ObjNetID, targetPos.rX, targetPos.rY, targetPos.rZ)
end
server-side
RegisterNetEvent('syncsv:RotateEntity')
AddEventHandler('syncsv:RotateEntity', function(ObjNetID, rX, rY, rZ)
TriggerClientEvent('synccl:RotateEntity', -1, ObjNetID, rX, rY, rZ) -- Triggers the event for every client (-1)
end)
again client-side
RegisterNetEvent('synccl:RotateEntity')
AddEventHandler('synccl:RotateEntity', function(ObjNetID, rX, rY, rZ)
local Obj = NetToObj(ObjNetID)
SetEntityRotation(Obj, rX, rY, rZ, 5, true) --note that the documentation mentions two more parameters than you use
end)
This code will be problematic because of the Wait(0)-while loop in your script. I don’t fully understand what the intention of that loop is but it might be a good idea to set the Wait-timer to something like Wait(50) or even higher numbers (500?). This would need testing to see how it behaves with multiple clients present.
Note: Regarding your target animation I’d like to ask what the intention is behind looping it like that. I’m assuming every value rx, ry, rz to be an angle and as such to be in the range [0, 360].
First I’m wondering whether you just want to make sure that no negative values get set. If that is the case move SetEntityRotation() outside of the while loop (the above mentioned events would need to be added to the following code):
while targetPos.rX <= 0.0 do
Wait(0)
targetPos.rX = targetPos.rX + 1
end
SetEntityRotation(myObj, targetPos.rX, targetPos.rY, targetPos.rZ)
This would also eliminate the need for the Wait-timer to be set larger as I described above (as the event only triggers once and not x times).
If my assumption regarding rx, ry, rz to be angles is correct I’d suggest the following approach to make sure that every angle is between 0 and 360 degrees:
while targetPos.rX < 0.0 or targetPos.rX > 360.0 do
if targetPos.rX < 0.0 then
targetPos.rX = targetPos.rX + 360.0
elseif targetPos.rX > 360.0 then -- the definition of this if-clause is redundant, I do it just for clarity
targetPos.rX = targetPos.rX - 360.0
end
Wait(0)
end
while targetPos.rY < 0.0 or ... --copy paste the above code and modify for rY and rZ
This should preserve the actual angle of the object you want to place.
