Hit what the shooter saw on screen, even with a slow connection

A player aims right at an enemy, clicks, and the game says miss because the enemy had already moved on the server. This entry shows how to judge the shot against the world the shooter really saw, and where to stop so fast connections are not punished.

Why this works

The shooter aims at a picture that is already old when it reaches the server. Judging the shot against where the target stood at that moment gives the shooter what they fairly saw, with a limit so a slow connection cannot reach far back into the past.

When not to use it

Skip it in slow games where shots take a while to land, or in modes where dying behind cover would feel worst, such as a tense game of hide and seek. Let the target's current place decide there, and teach slow players to aim ahead.
