Even at 20 projectiles a second it's still loving laggy. Can you find a way to make it more efficient?
at 50 i didn't lag.maybe you just have a bad computer?
Rain should be clientsided and not serversided, the latency is like that because you have a cubic forgetload of projectiles being sent to the client.
Jimmg - Plebeians gonna pleb: its really laggy because you have so many loving projectilesJimmg - Plebeians gonna pleb: it should be fine in single playerJimmg - Plebeians gonna pleb: but on a server?Jimmg - Plebeians gonna pleb: ahahhahaJimmg - Plebeians gonna pleb: good luck.Jimmg - Plebeians gonna pleb: rain should be clientsided.Jimmg - Plebeians gonna pleb: not server sided.
Unless someone mentioned this, the quick fix is to put elevator bricks in your roof. They are an interior so they have collisions with the rain particles.
-snip-EDIT: Wait, does that mean they'll be broken in v21?
yes. elevator bricks will no longer work.
Everything works better for terrains and interiors currently.
but when i hear 'engine change' i think a change in the engine's code
