      So you’re going to take all the places a character could be in the next 200ms, do Ray casting on all of them and send that data to the server to check every 17ms?

      While the server also does that for 15 other players at the same time.

      Do you know what algorithmic complexity is? Big O notation? If so - that’s a n³ * 15m³ problem space that you’re expanding out across 200ms every 17ms, where n is player locations possible in x/y/z and m is the other players locations. Physics collisions are usually the biggest drain on a computer’s cycles in game and in the worst case that’s n² complexity.

      You’re talking insanely taxing here.

        It’s mainly client side not server side. I’m not typing out an essay for you about a random ass idea I had one day on a forum.

          I’m just baffled by the idea. No need to defend it though, this is all arbitrary anyways. It’s not like anyone is going to do this.

            True, I’m of the belief that gaming companies aren’t too fussed about cheaters if they’re bringing money in some way.
