Definition: Teleport is now handled viaTransform.getMutable(PlayerEntity).position

[menduz]

As of today's SDK 6, the method to teleport the current user is imported as a module and a function teleportTo(sceneCoords) and movePlayerTo(vec3).

The action teleportTo moves your player to a different parcel, it is useful for hubs and other discoverability mechanisms. We may want to keep that as-is because it involves that the current scene will most likely be terminated along with all the rest of the nearby scenes. No data-oriented approach has been explored.

The case of movePlayerTo(vec3) is slightly different, since it moves the player within the boundaries of the scene. That, by all practical means, is the same as changing the Transform component of the Player entity.

The recommended approach for this implementation, is to remove the movePlayerTo in its discrete function shape, and re-use the same Transport.getFrom(PlayerEntity) that is used to read the player position, in this case to write the new position. It should emit a PUT CRDT message, that is forwarded to the renderer which should either accept or deny the new message based on the current scene rules and permissions to move the player. In the case of the renderer rejecting this new position, it should create an overwriting message with an ID+1 to normalize the Transform in the scene code itself.
