Spawning Cube Breaks Flat Wall Client
planned

Been seeing this a lot as of late. Partially due to experimenting with launching objects by spawning a cube underneath them.
The issue occurs when I'm the client in a match. There is a flat ungrounded wall I spawn a cube under. The cube and wall break on each other immediately.
This is in contrast to when I play as host. I spawn the cube under the ungrounded wall and it launches it upwards, or makes it flip if closer to the edge of the wall than the center of mass.
I feel like it is simply another downside to playing as the client of the match. It may be due to a certain level of ping, but that'd be strange due to physics being handled by the host?

I've lost so many games to this (trying to cubelaunch -> explode a prone wall and it just breaking from the cube spawn into the explosion throwing me off the map)

this is all structures in general FYI

This has been an ongoing problem with cube topple on client in general.

This is still happening, not just with flat walls, but any Wall. Only with Client as well. Just today I had it happen and was able to capture it. Clip: In Discord

That is certainly strange, there should be no difference in result between clients, since as you said, the master-client performs all physics-calculations.
I will check it out.

K Beugels - Lead Programmer any updates on your findings? Turns out its any structure being summoned underneath any other structure. It feels like a timing thing too. If I cube>cube quickly it seems like it will be successful more than if i wait slightly.

shoeless_man: At the moment we unfortunately haven't had the time to investigate this further. It will definitely be investigated though. 👌
If we'll have more information about this, we'll let you know.
