Hello !

I know this is a very noob question, but what is Ping ? I know how to get it (PlayerState->Ping*4), but, I don’t know if it’s the delay between :

  1. Client->Server or
  2. Client->Server->Client

Because if it’s 2), I have to divide it by 2 if I want to get the delay for a function going from server to client, right?

Thanks !

Ping just calculates the time it takes to send and receive a signal. BTW you can use the cmd in windows to ping a website to test the strength of your internet signal. You can use it to see if there is a problem on your line.
Ping Google. -t try it sometime.
