I know you are a lovely guy and I already bothered you with questions under your other video, but could you please tell me if there's another way of handling input than what you mentioned at around 23:00? I strongly dislike the fact that server has to process player's input, doesn't it create a delay equal to the ping of the players? I.e. if I have 50ms ping and I press spacebar it takes 50ms for my player to jump? I really wish Godot multiplayer would just allow us to have authority over player scenes, it would make things so much easier.

did you arealdy see OpenGB? similar to nakama

Client-Server will not fully prevent cheating, it still takes a lot of resources. Hosting servers takes a lot of resources as well. In my (admittedly limited) experience, if you have a small team, competitive multiplayer isn't possible, especially if its your first time with multiplayer period.

Solid implementation. I wonder if you maybe got an idea on how to find a solution to a problem I got. I pulled your solution and it's working fine as is, but I have an issue in my project where client's player nodes position is always 0, 0, 0 on spawn, no matter what I do via script. I was hoping that after adapting your solution to my project it would disappear cause you do the spawns slightly differently, but no - it still is on zeroes on spawn, it's like it doesn't care about logic in add_player() My theory is that multiplayer sync node is overriding the position. I'm pretty sure at some point I noticed that breakpoint on _ready() for player prefab is hit twice, once for host and once for the client, and I'm pretty sure that I saw that from host's perspective the prefab had the correct position, but from client's it was just 0, 0, 0 as if add_player() didn't happen and so probably MultiplayerSync is just overriding the new position with zeroes. I really have no idea what I may be missing out :(

Please get rid of the glare in your glasses. Thank you!

Are you going to add Steam networks for this project too? Or should I try to implement it myself to the game instead of the local port used?

Is it better practice to have a project with both server and client code side-by-side? or would it be better to have separate projects?

loving this explanation!, I will really love if you can take a look at Nakama and more specifically, their Godot 4 client sdk, it looks very promising and I'm struggling to put it together, so with your help I'm pretty sure it will be an amazing tool to use

great tutorial! question: how scalable would this be when connecting over 100 players at the same time? should this scenario be approached a different way? would love to hear your thoughts

dude i spent months fighting the godot websockets, didn't even need to watch the whole video and all of my code just works now thank you so much man

As someone who's just starting out, this has been a bit all over the place with different videos jumping back and forth, and fixing issues in the code, and I think this Full player client authority is the best bet for most starting out. Would be great in the future to get a redo video of this concept but from start to finish with the new knowledge so it's easy to follow the thought process. Great videos either way, very helpful in getting me started in the right direction!

Can't wait for the next episodes and the Netfox implementation, I'm following this series like a code along even if I'm doing some things my own way.

I would like to know if it is always preferable to host in clouds using third party services. Like, for a small scale (play with friends or small community) game. Also, are there any major considerations to have for security in the event of hosting on a owned dedicated server?

Everything multiplayer related that you cover is helpful, please keep on making that aspect of game dev more accessible and comprehensible.

That's very useful. Thanks a lot!

This was so useful and helpful, thank you for making these tutorials!

super underrated tutorial thanks a lot

Nice tutorial as well, but i got stuck in the part where u did the jump thing, said add do_jump and _is_on_floor , explained the do jump i did everything correctly, but then got issue with the is on floor, error, that the variable is declearead but never used in class... but i didnt see in the video that part for the is floor , but mine didnt work after that.... maybe i did something wrong still...

i plan to make a multiplayer game and i have a question: if someone data mined the code would they find out secrets that only the server executes? for example i wanted to add a secret boss trigger, is it possible to make clients unable to see this trigger in the server code or separate it from client code?

"Yea, but then I have to implement that thing that he's doing and I'm not sure I wanna do it that way." - so freaking relatable

Edit: Solved the issue, I was a dumb dumb and forgot to set the InputSynchronizer as a child of the PlayerInput node. For anyone that may come across this issue in the future, be sure to set the synchronizer as a child node of the node you're trying to sync values for. Still figuring out Godot's little quirks. Can you provide a link to the repo? Doesn't matter too much if it's not done yet, you can just add a disclaimer that it's WIP but having access to the repo during this series is good for checking for code inconsistencies. I'm having a hell of a time trying to figure out what i did wrong. After changing the authority to just give player input client authority, suddenly i can't move on the clients and the server is controlling their WASD movement. Clients can still rotate with the camera fine, but for some reason they have lost the ability to move with WASD. I've checked that PlayerInput has multiplayer authority in Remote mode for clients and have watched the values in PlayerInput only sometimes change during play for clients. If I spam the controls sometimes the client's input direction will update for a single frame and then go back to 0. No clue where I messed up but clearly i am missing something

Been waiting to reach the point in my game to jam to this. It may not be in real time but it's irl for me

id be curious how character data and items like inventories and player login and signups could work. been googling around for this a bit and there is some stuff out there but nothing very cohesive.

Wow, this is a really great video. Thanks alot. The way you explain all the details is awesome. Please keep going with this style and pace! It helps me a lot.

Netfox have support for C#?

i got it... was hard to understand this tutorial, please dont hide more so many things, i like to see the complete project... zoom in zoom out swap here and there... holy no, i like to see where we are and what for nodes is in the scenes, sry my english is trash... but who cares

thx for all the content for multiplayer for godot. Finally can get my game multiplayer now :). Good luck with the streams and videos !

You're the man BAD! The BAD man!

Little by little it took me 2 weeks to get to the end of this video. Finally moving to the part 2 now.

hello i have a question because even after reading the documentation and asking questions to chatgpt my understanding is still unclear : “if get_multiplayer_authority() == multiplayer.get_unique_id():” is used to check the peer's authority and compare it with the current peer's network id. This makes it possible, for example, to perform behaviors only on or from the peer that initiated an action (an input for example). what's the difference with @rpc(“call_local”)? because in this case, we're also making sure that the annotated method is called only on the client (or server) that initiated the RPC call. It seems very similar to me, but I guess it's not he same at all, and that's where I can't tell the difference between these two concepts.

Hello! What's a better system for racing games, instead?

Thank you again for your video. This series is really great and I'm really looking forward to the next steps. Please keep doing this dope stuff. You help us a lot!

Hey so I tried this out and it mostly works. The only problem is when testing with 3 or more players. Whenever we try to test, the multiplayer synchronizer for the 2nd player will not work for the 3rd player. Basically players will not be able to see the movements of other players who joined before them. Do you know how to fix this?

This is again a really really great tutorial! Wow, thank you so much. I'm really interested in creating an p2p multiplayer game over internet. Is it possible that one player hosts the game on the pc and provides the ip and port over an matchmaker like you showed in your video with AWS? Or do I need a dedicated server anyways which will run all the game instances? Maybe one day you could make a video for creating a player hosted game which can be joined over internet with a matchmaker.

Thank for the amazing video!! I have a question, when I join to host, the camera is jittering when moving. Camera is enabled of position smoothing with 5px/s. Is there any solution?

this is the best godot multiplayer tutorial i've seen

It's such a wonderful course. I hope to see your paid content on sites like udemy as well as Patreon. Because English is not my main language, I need a machine translation function.

hey i really like your tutorials, wondering if you can help with a starship bridge game i'm working on, trying to figure out how to have multiple players (different pcs each) affect different aspects of the same Player instanced spaceship... i.e Helm controls steering and speed, tactical weapons etc.. I have the separate scenes already made up for each player-console but not sure how to tie them into the same ship... thank you

I have a question, could somebody help? 😅 Have you ever tried W4 Games? How do you think, worth it to use or there're better options for multiplayer game? I'm honestly already confused with multiplayer theme)) I wanna publish my game on steam, maybe it has better options?

Very informative mate, how did you find the image holding up over the long term? Main thing I’m curious about is the image becoming misshapen over time.

hi @BatteryAcidDev, hope you read this comment. your game is wonderful. I wonder if you make this just for fun, or if you are actually making money from it? if yes. then, how? did you sell it somewhere?

Hello. Please tell me how to organize the working windows in Godot so that they are like yours: an "Inspector" next to the "Scene". Thank you. A video on this topic would also be nice.

Hello, does this method really work for players with different IP addresses? Regarding lag, does the game run well or is it very slow when other networks are connected? hug!

@BatteryAcidDev If I was to want to have the server spawn something in the game when a player clicks, what might that RPC function look like?

This helps alot to hear what you are thinking instead of just going by something you have prefab and just copy(what i mean is the format of not having a script is good) Thank you for being real and keep your mistakes 🙏🏼 keep up the amazing work 👏

I hope you can integrate it with Nakama. I want to know how to make NPCs move.

Very useful, especially since the 4.x docs aren't up to date for WebSockets

This is an amazing series. Thank you so much for these tutorials.
