But in that case, just take the bounds of the view (minimum coordinates being the offset, maximum coordinates being the offset + the view size) and check if the object is within these bounds. | |

| Feb 11, 2017 at 23:38 | comment | added | Maximus Minimus | There is a tradeoff between server processing overhead and just sending everything, however. | |
| Feb 11, 2017 at 23:18 | comment | added | Oliver Yasuna | Missed that point. A smart server should know information about the clients view, so it can determine what the client renders. | |
| Feb 11, 2017 at 23:10 | comment | added | Maximus Minimus | Don't forget that the OP is asking for this to happen on a server in a multiplayer game. Different clients will almost certainly be running at different resolutions and aspect ratios, as well as be located at different world-space positions and orientations. You really need to take that into account in any solution. | |
