Hi guys I would like to create an online game I have a prototype going http://onlinebedfordgames.bitballoon.com and if you open this game in 2 tabs you will notice that 1 will be the host and the other will be the peer. But how do I get the 2 players to be on the same screen? I have a line of code which spawns the players randomly and there is only 1 object that represents the 2 players. How do I have them so that there on the same screen? Please help <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_question.gif" alt=":?:" title="Question"> <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" title="Embarrassed">

Multiplayer games are complicated and nearly impossible to diagnose without a capx or c3p file to look at.

If you follow and understand the official multiplayer tutorials you should be able to solve your problem.

It sounds like the host is not creating an object to associate with your peer on peer joined.

Your dungeon generation is being run on both host and peer side. Given that it is randomly generated, your host will have a random dungeon, and your peer will have a different random dungeon.

You should have only the host create the dungeon, and sync or send all necessary objects and data to the peers so that they can have the same one.

You can do that, or add an event that disables it for peers.

Then you need to sync the objects created by the generation algorithm.
