: lol.. then go out and buy yourself an internet backbone and a cray so you can host the game :) Wasabi, you've just hit the problem that can't be fixed.. There is 100%, no possible way of synching ai without ridiculous lag..
I've been thinking about this. Why can't you do this (besides the work involved) : Have a client/server set of COGs the server would sinc the Rancor every 10 seconds say, And the local COGS would controll the rancor useing a set formula involving the reletive position of the Closest player and the Rancor. You'd probibly have to scrap the AI though.
I might be way off on this, it's just something I've been thinking about.
