I am currently programming a multiplayer game. The basic idea is that the game uses Command Pattern for any actions that happens in the game. If the player right clicks to move then a command is issued to the selected object to move to the location.
I implemented gRPC to include multiplayer. Here is my problem, when the player right clicks on the ground I send a gRPC call with that command then the server acknowledges the commands and sends it back to all the clients, the client then processes the command and everything goes well. Now if the player enters the game while a command is underway the client never received that command so its never process on the client.
What would be a good way to fix this problem without sending the info of all the actors (x,y,z) and what they are doing at each server ticks?
Thanks!
