GetLocationZ {non-synchronous function; may cause desyncs. Should I be worried?}

[LazyCoder]

I noticed in the common.j, right above the definition for GetLocationZ it says "// This function is asynchronous. The values it returns are not guaranteed synchronous between each player.
// If you attempt to use it in a synchronous manner, it may cause a desync."

Should I be worried?

Only if you use spells like shockwave which create terrain deformations.

But even then, whats the chances something casts shockwave nearby? (unless the spell is based off it)

I have no terrain deforming spells in my map.

Thanks guys!

I thought GetLocationZ()'s problem was related to graphic settings(?). I suppose, then, that terrain deformations play (or not) depending on them?
