  Actor name is not updated on rejoin with the same actor number. Only new join updates the name. I meant new join when wrote "rejoin".

  We will hopefully fix this in the next release.

  I guess you try to change actor name while client is joined to a room.

  This is not possible currently. Actor name is changed locally but not updated on other clients. Actor name is used only during room creation and room join. So you need to rejoin to force actor name update on other clients.

  It's hard to understand what you are asking. Please rephrase the question to make it clear.

  Are you asking about Photon plugin? If not, try to find relevant forum.

  We are not experts in multiplayer plugin. We never used it. I guess it's better integrated with Construct.

  Photon plugin just exchanges messages with another clients joined to the Photon room and does not know anything Construct-specific. You can learn more about Photon features like matchmaking at photonengine.com/en-US/Realtime

  Important thing I forgot to mention is adding "C0" to the list of properties available in lobby. Call "Set props listed in lobby" action with PropNames set to "C0" before creating a room.

  For exact property match, you can also use "expected custom properties" feature instead of sql lobby. Set current room property of arbitrary name like "level", add property name to the list of properties available in lobby and create a room. On other client, set the same "level" property to required value and select "MatchMyRoom" option in "random join" action.

  If to be honest I do not understand the logic itself, why we are using string as a comparison here

  if "C0 = 3" passed as a filter in Random Join, only rooms with property C0 set to 3 will match.

  no such column: CO (-2)

  Did you try C0 column instead? C1, C2, ... C9 also should work according to documentation.

  Can you provide a sample how to do it in construct 2? I didn't found the same commands in C2 interface

  Did you find it in C3? The commands should be the same:

  Probably you want SQL Lobbies doc.photonengine.com/en-us/realtime/current/lobby-and-matchmaking/matchmaking-and-lobby

  Set lobby type to SqlLobby when creating a room, set some room properties and use SqlLobbyFilter when joining room with "Join random" action.

  Synchronize object properties only when these properties change.

  Synchronize positions few time per second (if they change) and interpolate or extrapolate these position to get smooth movement.

  Even if there are no errors in logs, they are the only way for me to try to find out why client fails to connect.

  You can use any serialization which produces strings. I think it's even possible to compress 2.7182928 to 4-5 symbols while preserving reasonable precision.

  As I wrote already, support for numbers will work only if the payload is a single number which is a rare case.
