When a character changes its animation (see Character::SetMovement or Character::SetMovementOnce), it calls : uint l,r,t,b; body->GetTestRect(l,r,t,b); SetTestRect(l,r,t,b); SetTestRect is a method from PhysicalObj. So, the physic is directly relying on the body's internal state. *That means that we must be very careful about such optimization because it may break consistent state in network game.* For this optimisation to be ok, we must be sure, that when we change the movement, at least, body internal state is recomputed. And we must be sure also, that when characters will be displayed on all computers, it will be synchronized, else, it may create some big problems, when a character is shooting for instance. (The shoot will be different depending each frame of the animation is displayed), and yes, you can shoot with an invisible player (but MustBeDraw returns always true for the ActiveCharacter).
