Hey,

What is the best solution for a developer of a multiplayer server with Construct 3 ?

Can we use NodeJS with Socket.io with Construct 3 ?

Thank you :-)

AFAIK socket.io is a is library for websocket, similar to how the construct websocket plugin is for websocket. Their purpose is analogous, and there shouldn't be much difference that the node.js server cares about.

I believe you can utilize socket.io with an add on or the scripting feature directly, but I'm not familiar with that.

I spent a few days struggling,

With the Websockets that doesn't leave me much possibility without doc.

I really want to use Socket.IO for multiplayer. Is there a plugin?

It's a pity that socket.io is not by default in Construct 3
