raidboss: r2s/m2s Poison Sting (drop) timeline entry is misleading

The timeline entry for Poison Sting (drop) is misleading. The timeline entry corresponds to the damage snapshot. However, the actual visual damage numbers and the puddle drop snapshot are not at the same time.

Example lines:

(My custom SpawnObject line's X/Y/Z indexing has been broken since DT release, but this is the correct actor for the puddle)

It is likely that the puddle drop's position snapshot corresponds to the 37/NetworkActionSync line, but I don't have time to dig through raw network data right now to confirm.

If possible, can we update it to the puddle drrop snapshot? would be perfect for uptime stuff.

thanks valarnin and everyone. <3

That would be the goal but we'd either have to err to the side of caution (use the SpawnObject timing, which could be 250ms late), or we would need more careful raw network packet inspection (checking the raw ActorMove packets pre-player-filtering for someone not the current player to see which packet corresponds most closely with the spawned puddle, then doing some linear interpolation to get the actual timing).

Is there no cast or channel that happens at the same that can be used as a pointer?
I recall this is what was used in p9s meteor.
