Author Topic: Global Physics Vehicles Stuck at 20?  (Read 1548 times)

I am trying to make a really big map with vehicles and it tells me 20 max. So I exit and change it to 40. Yet it loops back to 20. Why? did it exceed?

20 is a hard coded limit and it's there because physics vehicles are resource intensive.

But is there ANY way to make it higher?

theres a reason why the limit is 20 on internet servers:
because vehicles suck, having too many vehicles may seem okay to you but the more you have the slower and more laggy all of the people on your server are, you can however have way more on a single player server
trying to bypass the limit is a bad idea because it has been put in place to keep your server running smoothly and not interfere with others playing, you can however have more bots and possibly bot vehicles, I don't exactly know the circumstances so maybe you could explain why you need over 20 vehicles

It's possible to make it higher, but it's not recommended because vehicles uses high-priority updates. If the server had more than 20 active vehicles, players joining the server would likely never be able to ghost due to them not receiving the ghosting updates because the vehicles are hogging all the bandwidth to that client.

I needed more because of turrets. I didnt know it could damage clients.

Turrets are usually bot vehicles. Try raising the bot vehicle limit, it's not capped like the physics vehicle limit (Bots are also a lot less demanding than vehicles).

that limit might be why the customizable vehicles gets an invalid packet :o?

Can't you make it unlimited for singleplayer, however limiting it on internet and LAN servers?

no, you must be doing it wrong

Nope. The "limit" is actually just a TorqueScript variable.

you can have like 100 or something on single player

probally higher if you have a very good computer.
someone should make this happen please.

It's happened but it can't be released.

But I mean by a howitzer turret(Grav CatsHowitzer) And it says Physics and not bot.
