What speedometer?
phflack:
the old one that was failbinned because it was looping through the datablocks every 33 miliseconds or so
that one..
if you weren't around then, you wouldn't know about it
takato14:
I know that the train car has a speedometer, but It's probably just a server-sided measure of the wheel speed...
If it can't be done client-sided, is there a way to place an emitter on the closest client instead? that would work just as well, actually.
phflack:
it can be done client-sided, if the speedometer method still works
it was a client mod, hence why you would lag like stuff with around 15k bricks
looping through a good 15k+ datablocks that fast isn't all that fast
also, not sure how well your emitter idea would work, i don't think it would be easy to position correctly for the camera to line up with it

What? You can get the position and speed of your client through serverconnection
