InterpolationBuffer
Constructor
InterpolationBuffer.new(minBuffer: number, maxBuffer: number, alpha: number) → InterpolationBuffer
Creates a new interpolation buffer instance.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
minBuffer | number | Minimum interpolation buffer in seconds. |
maxBuffer | number | Maximum interpolation buffer in seconds. |
alpha | number | Smoothing factor for the moving average latency. |
Returns:
A table representing the InterpolationBuffer instance with the methods below.
Properties
PlayerLatencies: { [networkId: number]: { averageLatency: number, deviation: number, lastLatency: number? } }
A dictionary storing per‑player latency data, keyed by networkId.
Each entry tracks:
- averageLatency → smoothed round-trip time (RTT)
- deviation → moving deviation (jitter estimate)
- lastLatency → most recent latency sample
Methods
RegisterPacket(networkId: number, serverTime: number, tickRate: number)
Registers an incoming packet for latency tracking.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
networkId | number | Unique ID representing the player or NPC. |
serverTime | number | Timestamp from the server for when the packet was sent. |
tickRate | number | Sending tick rate (Hz) for this entity. |
GetBuffer(networkId: number, tickRate: number) → number
Calculates the current recommended interpolation buffer for a given network ID.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
networkId | number | Player or NPC network ID. |
tickRate | number | Tick rate (Hz) for this entity. |
Returns:
A buffer duration in seconds, clamped between minBuffer and maxBuffer.
