Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark, and professionals built the Titanic.

The force is like Duct Tape - it has a dark side, it has a light side, and it binds the universe together!

If Bill Gates had a dime for every time a Windows box crashed...oh, wait a minute - he already does.

If a turtle doesn't have a shell, is he homeless or naked?

It might have been better that you specify what you're wondering about. I'm guessing you're wondering about client/server cogs. Client/server cogs reduce lag. The cog is split up into two parts: client, and server. The server cogs run only on the server, and the client cogs run only on the client. They communitcate using triggers. Hideki has a tutorial on them here at massassi.

there's also a good tutorial by Pele over at the Code Alliance.

Think of it this way: instead of sending a ton of information while trying to keep doors or elevators in sync, all you do is send a tiny little trigger when the thing starts/stops moving, and where it's headed. then the movement is done locally on each computer.

But there are disadvantages to that. If that trigger is discarded, then the door/elevator will not move.

 

One could always improve upon that. Set up a reply, when a trigger is recieved. If no reply is recieved within a certain amout of time, then another is sent.

 

Bah. More of my useless ranting...
