Issue 1: Order of instance code execution affects movement behavior. Visual Aid for Issue 1: Scenario: 4 block instances are lined up one directly behind another and all are going to move together in the same direction. First they will all be moving to the right. (left side of...

How can I make a multiplayer character select in which one player host a game, others joins then everyone must select a character to start and they cannot select the same character

Hey guys I've been putting together a multiplayer game with pretty good success. I've encountered "attempting to read from outside buffer, returning 0" errors before, but they're never as ambiguous as the one I'm consistently running into recently. Here it is: FATAL ERROR in action number 1 of...

Hi to all. I have a big problem regarding networking and hope community can help. We made a chess game and we want to publish it as a Facebook Instant game. We have managed to do a little basic PC to PC, Android to Android, and Android to PC connection. The problem is HTML5 networking. We...

I am making a multiplayer game. Client #1 is constantly scanning for instances of object X. Client #2 asynchronously destroys one of those instances after it was already read on client 1. Then I get an undefined error when trying to reference it because that pointer obviously points to a...

I did all other things, but i only dont know how to make other players have sprite when they are moving? I can send project if you want. I did everythink like in this tutorial(there ), with some tweaks, but they dont matter:

Hello..... i am making a multiplayer board game or sorts. What is done/working: -server/client buffers passed back/forth between each player (movement, sprites, etc) What I can't figure out and trying to do: -Player "A" and "B" are standing next to each other, both next to a room, with a...

Hello. I am currently in the foundation phase of a making a game with multiplayer functionality. But currently I've hit a speed bump and been unable to fix it for the last 3 days. I've made an non-dedicated multiplayer system, where one player hosts the game, and others connect. (Host will...

I can't figure out why the second client on the server doesn't get the data in the buffer. Error: illegal undefined/null use I'm trying to query the coordinates and status of the player

Can anyone tell me why this isn't working properly? I have made a Player Controller Input object o_input, o_inputP2, o_inputP3 & o_inputP4 with a menu Switch statement so each player can actually choose what slot their controller will be in. I have different modes the menus work in, but this...

Hello I'm nearly finished with this little space ship arena game I've been working on and I just need to implement local multiplayer and I'll be just about done. I currently have 4 ships each with 4 colors set up on a character select screen of sorts but I need help setting up the controls for...

Like the title says, both players lose connection when I change rooms. Before hand, I'm new to networking and I'm spawning both of them on a setup room to verify if both players are working correctly. However, going to the first level makes the buffers not reach the host and the clients. I've...

For the past month or so I have been working on a turn-based platformer with a destructible terrain, much like the original Worms (1995). I wanted to create a small game which had online multiplayer capabilities, a game that does not require an account to play online. I originally had the idea...

I have my game setup where if there are more than 1 player, they can each use a controller. But, how would I "reserve" a controller slot for player 1? Since the way I currently have it working is, that in 1 player mode, the 1st player can use either the keyboard OR a controller. But, because of...

So after seeing that other topic, I decided to test UDPHP. TL;DR, you can circumvent the need for a server if you just connect two sockets together. And holy crap, it works... 99% of the time... But what I'd love help with, is checking how often this works in the real world. Because there's no...

I am working on a 2 player platformer. I want my two characters to be seen in the camera and to zoom in and out according to their x distance //Zoom// Adjusts the camera size perfectly. //Tracking// Centers the camera position perfectly. But both together mess up the centering... Everything...

I'm making a PVP/Tower Defense multiplayer game in GMS2 and I'm wondering how secure it is. What I mean by that is, if I store something like, for example, how much damage a weapon does on the client-side, is it possible/how easy is it for a hacker to hack the client and change that value to...

Hi I have been working on a multiplayer system for awhile now and decided to make a server based system where the calculations are being handled by the server. This has caused the lag and response time of the game to drastically increase and I can handle collision server-side this way. But after...
