Clientside control of Canvases, Sound Emitters, Particle FX, etc

As per the title

Usage scenarios:-

For canvases, the dynamic loading and unloading of images based on whether or not a client is inside a trigger volume — Note that this would not load or unload images for everyone globally, but only for that specific client, with the end goal being to bolster condo performance and make efficient use of system resources for example

For Sound Emitters, the playback of local ambient sounds that is only audible to a specific client

I hope this makes sense

Would this be something the Condo owner gets to toggle on and off? I do have my beliefs that this is what you meant but I think it’s just better to ask for clarification. Outside of that, this is an great suggestion!

Just to clarify, it’s more of an indirect control

The end goal for me personally would be to have a photo gallery where images would dynamically stream in and stream out for whoever is in there without it affecting everyone

Ah, well, still an neat idea. I’m just wondering if Condo owners would get to decide whether or not they would like to use this though? I think it would be a good idea if this was something outside of your visitor’s control and only available to Condo owners and friends helping you build your place up to enable or disable. I just feel like if players themselves could also get to decide whether or not to use this, it would be a bit limiting.

I should have been clearer but things like Trigger Volumes, Buttons, Levers, Toggles, IO modules, Logic Gates, etc. would all have a “Clientside Only” setting in them

Eh, no problem at all, but yeah, that would work perfectly!
