Networked vehicle physics - to rigidbody or not rigidbody?
I'm trying to find the best approach for networking vehicle physics.
Right now I have a rigidbody on the parent and everything works fine non-networked, but the problem appears when trying to get this to work over a network (using Mirror).
Yes physics and networking do not mix well. So what approach would you use for this?
-Ditch the RB and use raycasts for collision detection? How would you simulate all other physics in general?
-Keep the RB? Then how would you approach collisions on all other players with local authority?
I see people on forums speaking of how ditching Unity's physics and simulating your own is a simple task, yet I haven't found any good examples of anybody doing that.
Thanks for the help -- I'd appreciate any insight
It really depends how complex the movements will be. Do you simply want to move around and not hit walls? Do you want bounce and player vehicles getting hit off course? Do you want to simulate inter-player collisions?
