Jazz2::Actors::Multiplayer::RemoteActor class

#include <Jazz2/Actors/Multiplayer/RemoteActor.h>

Remote object in online session.

A generic actor whose transform, animation and miscellaneous state are synchronized from a remote authority (the server). It has no gameplay logic of its own; the received position is buffered and interpolated on the receiving side to smooth out network delay.
