[@chomnansaedan4788]

are you using Chaos Vehicle?

[@lorryburger8165]

No, It's my own Vehicle Pawn that I wrote myself

[@buster5661]

I am getting jak and Dexter 3 vibes

[@IstiakAhmed_UE5_VR-Dev]

whoa, that is awesome.👍 will you make a tutorial on this?

[@lorryburger8165]

probably not, I would just be repeating the tutorials I googled

[@IstiakAhmed_UE5_VR-Dev]

​@@lorryburger8165 will you send some references of the tutorials?

[@lorryburger8165]

what specifically? there is a whole heap of stuff going on in this

[@IstiakAhmed_UE5_VR-Dev]

@@lorryburger8165 i want to learn about the realistic wave (boat wake specifically).sorry for not specifying.

[@lorryburger8165]

@@IstiakAhmed_UE5_VR-Dev That is a plugin called fluid ninja, available on the Unreal Marketplace. Join his discord, the solution is in the chat channels

You collect your fluid in a jar.

[@lorryburger8165]

You collect yours in a bag

I dont think Fluid Ninja replicates well or does it?

[@lorryburger8165]

You wouldn't replicate Fluid Ninja, you would replicate what is interacting with it. Its mainly a visual thing so it wouldn't matter.

[@FreeD00M]

@@lorryburger8165 Well, if e.g. a ship crashes into a wave on the server, but the wave does not exist on the clientside the ship would move without any reason on the clientside.

[@lorryburger8165]

@@FreeD00M Most WaveSystems use a Timecode to generate the waves. you would sync the timecode to the server and have each client delta the time in between updates, you are never going to get 100% syncronisation as client ping and FPS is going to make all sorts of issues. boat simulations are also physics based which in not as deterministic as we would like in UE so replicating is going to be difficult on that front too. I would let Fluid Ninja handle the pretty but none of the gameplay systems. you can overlay Fluid Ninja over a wave system to handle foam and ripples . nobody is going to notice if foam or ripples are not in sync!

Thx for the inspiring idea. I know that oceanology is mostly replicated, but this gave me the idea to also try other water systems. Will do some experimentation.
