physics objects ownership
physics objects dont move unless they are owned. is there a way to change that?
KHi @MasterOX 水. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base.

In NormalVR's system, the concept of ownership is crucial for the synchronization of physics objects. The
However,
If you're trying to directly move an object, make sure to mark it kinematic. Doing so lets PhysX know that you're controlling its position and it should not simulate the object directly. It also tells
So, in the current design of NormalVR, physics objects don't move unless they are owned. This is a fundamental part of how physics synchronization is handled in a networked environment to ensure consistency across all clients. Changing this behavior would require significant changes to the underlying networking and physics systems.

Msure, use deterministic phsyics and the simulation will be the same for everyone without realtime transforms
Measier said than done
Munity dots physics works this way but you'll need to roll back the simulation every time a player moves an object
Malright, then is there a way to change a synced value thats stored on the object without owning the whole object
Myou don't need ownership to change a model value
Mso long as the view is not owned by someone else
Myeah but if someone else owns it i cant change it. right?
Min that case you use a realtime set to send a message to the owner and tell them to change it
Msuch as for player health
MI might do a tutorial some day for these common cases
Mif they own the transform only, will other people be able to change the value?
Myeah
Moh alright
Myou don't need view ownership to move an object
Mi wasnt doing that, i just wanted to make sure other people can always change the health value of a physics object
Mty!
