Hello, why my NPC is owned by every player who connect to game?
I have this in create code:

owner = "";
if(gms_instance_is_owner(id))
{
owner = oPlayer.name;
pch = choose(pathCircleNPC, pathNPC);
path = path_start(pch,3,path_action_restart,0);
}

But every player seen different paths on NPC.. How can I do this NPC will start path and other players will see him same..

Step:

if(gms_instance_is_owner(id))
{
gms_instance_handover(id);
}

gms_instance_is_owner might not work in the create event, it's better to move it to an alarm that fires after a few steps.

Also note that the owner variable is already set to the player ID of the owner of the instance.

This code seems to be the issue. Why are you transferring the ownership of the instance to everyone else if you are the owner of it; that doesn't make sense.

if(gms_instance_is_owner(id))
{
gms_instance_handover(id);
}


Try removing this code and let me know if the issue persists.

Thanks for reply. No it's not work. On every client are NPCs still on different way.

You cannot sync a path, they will all run at different times depending on the speed of the client unless you use delta_time.

And is something else what can I use for that?

As far as I am aware, unless you sync the x and y from a GameINI, there is no way to do this.

Its fast sync x and y of every NPC?
Size43 (Administrator) on 15 Dec 2018, 19:18:29
You might want to use p2p messages instead of writing to a GameINI to get faster synchronization.
jdev on 10 Dec 2018, 14:10:58
That depends on how often you read the GameINI x and y values.

To clarify, does this mean that imputing "gms_instance_is_owner(id)" will return true if the instance was created originally on the current client and false if created by a different client?

If you're not using gms_instance_handover, then yes. The owner might also switch if the original owner leaves the room or quits the game.
