Timescale Zones - Change the timescale for players who are only in the zone

[Klocko²]

Bricks called timescale zones, when your in one, your timescale is changed to what the brick is set to change it to, the way this could work is only send the timescale packet to the clients who are in the zone, but if they aren't in the zone there clients don't receive it. Of course the players will lag behind if the timescale is faster then normal to the people outside the zone

If the server still thinks that the players outside the zone need to move like how the timescale change does, just make sure it checks if they are in the zone before moving them back

Rather than making it a timescale zone, why dont we make it so projectiles, players, vehicles and animations move/cycle at a set speed, then it shouldnt lag the server

*facepalm*
I never said it would lag the server, I said that players out the zone might see the players in a zone lag behind because normal-timescale clients think they are moving at the normal speed

The server has one timescale
Each client has once timescale

You really can't have isolated timescale zones, because that is not how timescale works.
You would need to do it a different way

Could you just slow every things speed in the zone? Make the players turn into some datablock with slow speed, any thing that passes through it gets a slow speed, idk :p.

I'm working on this (:

[Port]

A single Blockland instance can only have a single timescale.

Each client is an individual instance, thus each client can have it's own timescale.
However the server is also an individual instance, but only a single one, thus it can only have one main timescale.

We currently have no way of modifying the engine (well, we do, but not in an add-on), and engine changes are required to let a single instance scale time differently in different areas of the world.

From what Port said, why not just change the client's timescale when entering a zone?

From what Port said, why not just change the client's timescale when entering a zone?

Because the server will usually just try to correct it with it's own timescale, which just makes it seem like the client is glitching.
