How it works, step by step

  1. 1

    Server owns pet inventory + equip slots; replicates equipped pet descriptors.

  2. 2

    Client AlignPosition/AlignOrientation rig floats pets in trailing offsets around the character.

  3. 3

    Bobbing + tilt from velocity makes flight feel organic; scale per rarity.

  4. 4

    Multi-pet formations distribute angles around the player.

  5. 5

    Equip/unequip remotes validate slot counts and ownership before applying.

Concepts you'll use

  • AlignPosition rigs
  • Formation math
  • Descriptor replication

Mistakes that cost you players

  • Pets welded server-side to characters break on respawn and stream-out.
  • Pet damage/aura effects must resolve server-side even if visuals float locally.
