I don't know, but ... is this not very very heavy load for the server?
e.g.:
2 guys meeting -> 2 line of sight calcs
3 guys meeting -> 6 line of sight calcs
....
n^n-n calculations, or something
or the number of lines between n points:
n^......... damnit... too dumb.. sum over ni -1 from one to number of points
about 120 LOS-Calculations for 16 people.
Is this why vertex sorting is faster than LOS calcs.. ( is it?)
I'm going to study computer-science (Informatik), so please tell me if I'm
wrong, .... don't let me study dumb.
thx :)
