Hi,
Sorry for all the posts lately, just been using these forums to help me with a few queries I've been having recently.
I've noticed in my game that animations for clothing are playing client-side, but for other people when I walk it is just static, but they can still see my clothing (clothing walking animations aren't playing on their end).
Is this an issue with GameMaker Server?

I too have this issue, my work around is I use this kinda code.
if(x != xprevious){
image_speed = .33;
} else {
image_speed = 0;
image_index = 0;
}

By default, only the sprite_index and image_speed variables are synced. Syncing the actual image_index too would use a lot of data and make the game more laggy. If you don't set image_speed for the animations, you might need some extra code to make them show up on the other player objects.

I do set the image_speed for the animations.

Are you using gms_optimize_variables anywhere, to change what's synced?

No, I am not.

You are just using the default image_speed variable to do animations right? Or are you drawing more things on top of the base sprite with different ways of animating them?

I am just using image_speed and changing the sprite_index. I am not drawing anything on-top of the player (clothing wise).

I'll postpone investigating this in favor of answering a few more questions first.

OK, you can always contact me on Discord about how to fix this when you have time.
