Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to use the technique the left4dead devs used for the infected, to handle non hitscan bullets ? The technique I'm talking about was referenced in an article on the vdc : "If you're creating lots of individual objects all the time, consider rolling them all into a single manager entity. This is how Left 4 Dead handles huge numbers of infected: they are all "finger puppets" of the director."(https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Entity_limit )
Essentially I'd want to create simple "entities" for each bullets and have them handled by a manager entity. But I was also wondering how to get the simple entities to transmit to the client, along with their data ? The main reason I want to do this is because I have a lot of sprite based projectiles to handle.
