  • Not sure what you mean but I solved this by using a global score, rather than an instance one.

    Thanks!

  • Hey guys,

    I have set Families up as Players and Turret and Players has a local variable: score

    I'm trying to say: If I hit an enemy tank, add 2 to my score, but right now, it's adding 2 to my enemy's score and not my own.

    I can't wrap my head around it.

    Thanks!

  • Hi Chad, what a great offer. I'd be interested in a top-down tank design with a separate turret sprite if possible, please?

    Preferably white so I could set my own colours?

    Thanks <3

  • I think I've sussed it, thanks guys <3

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads
  • It affects every player, rather than just the one that died. I've tried comparing ActorNr's but that doesn't work either.

  • Hey guys,

    After many headaches I have managed to successfully have players, turrets and bullets in real time. I can successfully shoot at player 2 (on player 1) and subtract player 2's health. The problem I have now is, when player x's health reaches 0, I need it to destroy that player, and respawn somewhere else.

    Here's what I have:

    I just can't figure out the logic.

    Thanks!

  • Thank you ThePhotons!

  • Using the methods I've used, it destroys both players, or it destroys 1 player, but attaches their weapon to the remaining player.

    How can I remove player 2 but not player 1?

  • I'm using Photon since I heard that the built in Multiplayer was buggy and it was a peer-to-peer model. I wanted an always-on solution. The problem I have with Photon is the lack of support/documentation on using it. The two tutorials provided aren't very clear to me. Let me know how you get on!

  • Hey man I couldn't message you since my reputation is low, but how did you learn Photon?

    I'm trying to add a turret to another project based on the example you gave me but I can't figure out how to have unique turrets (i.e. if I move my turret, yours doesn't move on my screen, and vice versa).

    I wish I understood the process so I can build without bothering people lol

  • Hey guys, what's the best place to better understand the Photon plugin?

    I spent days trying to figure out how to have multiple players on screen and have each player move across all screens in real time only to have another Construct user show me how it's done in a few lines.

    Also, I've noticed that after a few minutes, a player would randomly stop dead and their position won't be updated further. How can this be fixed?

    I'm trying to figure out how to attach a turret to the vehicle and fire a bullet, again in sync with all players not just locally. I honestly have no idea what I'm doing and would love to better understand the photon process. Thanks!

  • So I have a dummy project set up, and I finally got the cars to display on both screens (thanks to ) but the problem I have now is displaying the user's name above their head. I can display it locally, but the other players don't appear to me and vice versa.

    I'm still trying to wrap my head around events and stuff.

    Thanks
