Fields

Name	Description
InterpolationTick	The current interpolated tick (integral part). Always less then the ServerTick on the Client (and equals to ServerTick on the server).
InterpolationTickFraction	The fractional part of the tick (XXX.fraction). Always in between (0.0, 1.0]
ServerTick	The current simulated server tick the server will run this frame. Always start from 1. 0 is consider an invalid value. The ServerTick value behave differently on client and server. On the server: it is always a "full" tick strict monontone and continue (up to the wrap around) the same inside or outside the prediction loop On the client: it is the tick the client predict the server should simulate this frame. Depends on current lag and command slack can be either a full or partial. if the tick is partial, the client would run the simulation for it multiple time, each time with a different delta time proportion it is not monotone: in some rare/recovery situation may rollback or having jump forward (due to time/lag adjustments). during the prediction loop the ServerTick value is changed to match either the last full simulated tick or , in case of a rollback because a snapshot has been received, to the oldest received tick among all entities. In both case, and the end of of the prediction loop the server tick will be reset to current predicted server tick.
ServerTickFraction	Only meaningful on the client that run at variable step rate. On the server is always 1.0. Always in range is (0.0 and 1.0].
SimulationStepBatchSize	The number of simulation steps this tick is scaled with. This is used to make one update which covers N ticks in order to reduce CPU cost. This is always 1 for partial ticks in the prediction loop, but can be more than 1 for partial ticks outside the prediction loop.

Properties

Name	Description
IsCatchUpTick	Only valid on server. True when the current simulated tick is running with a variabled delta time to recover from a previous long running frame.
IsFinalFullPredictionTick	Only valid inside the prediction loop. The current server tick which will be the last full tick we are predicting
IsFinalPredictionTick	Only valid inside the prediction loop. The current server tick which will be the last tick to predict
IsFirstPredictionTick	Only valid inside the prediction loop. The server tick the prediction is starting from.
IsFirstTimeFullyPredictingTick	Only valid inside the prediction loop. True when this ServerTick is being predicted in full for the first time. "In full" meaning the first non-partial simulation tick. I.e. Partial ticks don't count.
IsInPredictionLoop	Indicate that the current server tick is a predicted one and the simulation is running inside the prediction group.
IsPartialTick	True if the current tick is running with delta time that is a fraction of the ServerTickDeltaTime. Only true on the client when running at variable frame rate.
PredictedTickIndex	Counts the number of predicted ticks triggered on this frame (while inside the prediction loop). Thus, client only, and increments BEFORE the tick occurs (i.e. the first predicted tick will have a value of 1). Outside the prediction loop, records the current or last frames prediction tick count (until prediction restarts).
