Title: Update 2dtoolkit in the physics update
Post by: Evil-Dog on January 05, 2014, 11:36:30 pm

Hi there, I'm working on a game that we'd need to make deterministic.
I ask this in a global state of confusion but from what I understand, I'd need to run the sprite system on a deterministic fashion using the physics update and not the render update.

Any thoughts on that?
Is that something that would be doable?
Thanks :D

Ah. good old determinism in Unity :)
If you want to run the animation system (?) in physics update, just change animator Update -> FixedUpdate. That should be it really. You will need to use this together with script ordering to get more control over the whole pipeline.

Right yeah, so that's all I'd need, interesting.  Thanks!

And you do have some experience with determinism in Unity? good or bad? Care to share some thoughts on it? :)

If you want 100% determinism in Unity, I've learnt to just DIY. Have one behaviour update and call the appropriate functions on all the relevant other behaviours manually.

That makes sense, thanks
