==Shot ID== | ==Shot ID== | ||
Shot IDs should be separate from the slot. The client should take all newly fired shots and assign them a temporary shot ID until it gets the shot back from the server. At this time it would replace the shot ID with a valid server ID to be used with shot updates at a later date. The local client should send it's temporary shot ID when sending a new MsgShotBegin and be passed that local ID back in the verification message. When the server sends the shot back to the local player, it should recompute the shot path from the new data as if it was a remote path, as the server may have modified it. All local shots can go into one big list on the client, as they will have unique IDs. | Shot IDs should be separate from the slot.
