Shame on me. I forgot to put a topic in my previous mail. Please do not answer to it.
Yahn, What I want is the exact position of players from a local client point of view : taking care of interpolation. I mean : - server tickcount = 100 --> player1 is in (0, 0, 0) --> player2 is in (100,0, 0) - while server tickcount is 100, maybe it is only 95 for player1. If I go to player1 client side and ask for GetLocalOrigin of all players. Maybe I will see: --> player1 is in (0,0,0) coz it is local player and is using prediction --> player2 is in (50,0,0) assuming player is moving only in x axis with 10 units/tick velocity But in reality, player1 is not seeing player2 in (50,0,0) coz I assume he has a cl_interp equal to 2 ticks interval. If so he is seeing player2 in (30, 0, 0). Am I right or not ? If not, where am I wrong ? If I'm right, which function can I use to have (30,0,0) as a return value for player2 ? and when ? Do you mean I must call GetLocalOrigin() in RenderStart to have interpolated position ? [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Message from Yahn Bernier hereafter ---- Interpolate gets called with gpGlobals->curtime, but the IInterpolatedVars = each define their "interpolation amount" (see the GetInterpolationAmount co= de) since sometimes interp is just 1 tick in single player vs. cl_interp in= multiplayer. If you always want the last networked position, you can ask for GetNetworkO= rigin, otherwise, you'll get either the last networked if you ask during Po= stDataUpdate/networking, or you'll get the interpolated position if you ask= during rendering.
