I fnally had a chance to solve this problem. And the only way I could get
all my effects to properly display was to have the weapon firing code
coexisting on server and client. In fact I also have the weapon pose
parameter adjustment being performed on both the server and client. This
alone doesn't solve the problem with parameters, but does smooth the
movement out. Something on the client has to be reseting the parameters
because the server claims that the parameters are a certain number and the
client with the prediction of the moving the parameters will report the same
value no matter what it ought to be and since I keep my pose parameters
between function calls in my class if I forcibly set this value back to my
vehicle when client class calls for view updates it almost eliminates the
problem. There is just a very small jitter when the weapon is not moving,
but nothing like before were it looked like the weapon was teleporting to
and fro from where it should be to default position.
So anyways my current problem is that tracers on the weapon act wonkers.
According to debug overlays all my calculations for getting the src, aim
vector, etc. are correct. I have an arrow overlay that displays this and it
is correct always. Though my tracers seems to act as if it is trying to
start from an offset from my eye vector. Essentially even when the gun is
not visible I see tracrs. The certainly do not corellate with the green
arrow overlay. Help is appreciated.
Thanks Chris

in the vehicle fire function, like at the top, or before effects are
transmitted do:
CDisablePredictionFiltering disabler;
just by itself, nothing else.
it will function until out of scope.

About tracers/muzzles/impact effects. Did you get these to work in your
mod.
I have done further testing using func_breakables which prove bullet info
is
firing. Just no effects are being created oddly enough. Could be another
server to client transmission issue me thinks.
Thanks
