WalkTo Actions with PredictiveMode?

[cybers2001]

I am working on a server mod that can issue WalkTo commands to players. It works fine without predictive mode, but with it, the player slides and is uninterruptible. This is my logic:

GLOBAL.STRINGS.ACTIONS.ACTIVATE.FOLLOW = "Follow"

local function OnActivate(inst, doer)
    local pos = inst:GetPosition()
    local delta = GLOBAL.Vector3(20, 0, 0)
    doer:DoTaskInTime(1, function()
        local action = GLOBAL.BufferedAction(doer, nil, GLOBAL.ACTIONS.WALKTO, nil, pos + delta, nil)
        doer.components.locomotor:PushAction(action, true)
    end)
end

AddPrefabPostInit("arrowsign_post", function(inst)
    inst:AddComponent("activatable")
    inst.components.activatable.OnActivate = OnActivate
	inst.components.activatable.quickaction = true
    inst.components.activatable.forcerightclickaction = true
	inst.components.activatable.inactive = true
    inst.GetActivateVerb = function(_inst) return "FOLLOW" end
end)

How do I avoid this issue?

Solved this!

I took a different approach. Instead of controlling players strictly on the server side, I relayed to the client, and had the client perform the action. In a client component, I use this logic:

if self.inst.components.locomotor then	--lag compensation ON
  local action = BufferedAction(self.inst, nil, ACTIONS.WALKTO, nil, pos)
  self.inst.components.locomotor:PushAction(action, true)
else	--lag compensation OFF
  SendRPCToServer(RPC.LeftClick, ACTIONS.WALKTO.code, pos.x, pos.z)
end

This will work for both predictive mode on and off.
